John and Lu Ke are both members of the sparring team, and Lu Ke's level is even worse - in the first two years, he couldn't even enter the sparring team, and in the third year, he was able to join the team because of Anthony's pity and sympathy. Therefore, John took it for granted that defeating Lu Ke by himself should be a simple matter, and it was a matter of course.

But after the switchback run began, John found that Lu Ke had always been on par with him, which inspired John's competitive spirit, he had fallen from the main force to the sparring partner, almost from heaven to hell, should he continue to sink? So, John also gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, 100%, without anything hidden.

Run, stop, turn, accelerate, sprint, stop again, turn around.

When the switchback run ended, John was just one position ahead and finished the race. Because he sprinted so hard that he didn't brake in time in the end, the whole person rushed out like a glide, and fell on the lawn with a rolling belt. However, instead of crying out in pain, John laughed out loud and vented all his emotions heartily.

Lu Ke slowed down, supported his knees with his hands, and couldn't help but laugh along, "How is it, it feels good, right?" ”

"Yes...... Yes......" John said breathlessly, but when he said that, the ridiculous smile went up again, "Actually, I shouldn't feel good. I almost lost. That's not what a good wide receiver should look like. "The wide receiver lost to the quarterback in a forty-yard round-trip? This is indeed too embarrassing, not to mention, Lu Ke is not a quarterback, he is just a sparring player with no position on the court.

"On the other hand, isn't it positive that I've trained for a year to get to where I am now? Moreover, after you play to the extreme, you can also show different strengths. So, if you continue to train, does that mean you can get back into the main line-up, even if it's just as a third substitute? ”

Lu Ke's words silenced John, and the smile stayed at the corner of his mouth, only his chest was still rising and falling violently: how did he get to this point? Is it really because the talent is gone? Or is it because he has stopped trying? Or is it the fierce competition, his father's reputation, he put too much pressure on him, and he chose to give up? So, what exactly is he holding on to now?

"I'm going to do two more switchbacks, how about it, together?" Lu Ke stretched out his right hand, "I bet that your physical strength is not as outstanding as mine, so I can defeat you this time." ”

"Dog/." Without any hesitation, John choked back, grabbed Lu Ke's right hand, and stood up with strength, "It was just a warm-up for me just now." Now that the warm-up is over, I can easily leave you behind. If you're not worried about embarrassment, then I'll let you lose again. ”

From that day on, John became Lu Ke's regular training partner. In addition to ball training and partner training, basic training such as pull-ups, weighted squats, and sit-ups, as well as 10,000-meter long-distance running training, John and Lu Ke completed them together. Three days, it was over in a blink of an eye, and Lu Ke undoubtedly completed the second daily training task and gained a base point again.

Lu Ke hadn't had time to add points to the points gained from the first daily training task, so now he has two points.

At the beginning, Lu Ke hoped to make up for other shortcomings a little, but then he found that as a quarterback, his shortcomings were really too many, and all of them failed, and the two base points were a drop in the bucket, and it was impossible to become fat in one bite, so he simply added these two basic points to the accuracy of the long pass again, so this data became eighty-one points.

Finally, among Lu Ke's various quarterback skills, one of them finally broke through eighty points, from mediocre to good, although there is still a long way to go from excellent ninety, but this is a good start.

After the completion of the second daily training mission, the third daily training mission reappeared. This time, not only has the training program increased significantly, but there are a total of 15 trainings; And the number of consecutive training days has also changed from three days to seven days, which makes Lu Ke really complain, "This is the third task, and it has been seven consecutive days, so if you want to win basic points in the future, will you have to stick to a whole year to get a point?" ”

At the beginning, Lu Ke thought that it was not difficult to gain basic points, as long as he insisted on training every day; But now it seems that this is unrealistic, and the real effect of daily training is to polish the basic skills, and it requires years of perseverance. It is obviously impossible to become a rugby superstar just through these basic skills training with no technical content and no actual combat skills.

Daily training tasks are not shortcuts, but foundations, which also means that if you want to grow quickly through base points, you can only hope for tournament tasks and special tasks.

However, since getting the system, there has been no movement in other types of tasks, and he has not found a way to open the task, every time he asks Xiao Qi, the answer is the same, "There is no authority for the time being." ”

So, Lu Ke temporarily put aside other tasks, down-to-earth into the daily training tasks, every day is hard, but also fulfilling, compared to the basic points, every training he can feel his progress, real progress, the entire training framework, way, method, rhythm, measurement has become clear, the unattainable dream has become more definite little by little, this feeling is really wonderful, so that involuntarily indulge in it, Training has gradually become a pleasure, and I can't wait to get into training every day.

"Ding", the voice sounded in his head again, and Lu Ke knew that the daily training task for seven consecutive days had been completed, and he had once again gained a base point. Then a new task appeared.

Instead of rushing to add points, I opened the task: twenty basic trainings, which were completed for seven days in a row. The difficulty did not double to ten or fourteen days in one go as Lu Ke expected, and it was still a seven-day cycle, which was really overjoyed, "Is it because my foundation is really bad and miserable, so the system can't bear to watch me continue to waste firewood?" Xiao Qi, isn't it? ”

I didn't hear Xiao Qi's answer, but I heard John's half-joking voice, "Laughing so brightly, could it be that I was hit in the head by a rugby ball just now?" Ran away from sanity? ”

Lu Ke glanced at John speechlessly, "I was fantasizing about your sister just now. This sentence can only be understood between men to fight back, was heard by other people around, everyone immediately coaxed, John opened his mouth, but found that everyone's voices were too noisy, he had no chance to speak, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, and laughed dumbly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone's moving faster!" Anthony's voice rang out through the megaphone, "We're not here for a vacation, it's training camp, training camp!" There are only five days left until the NCAA League, so hurry up and assemble! In the midst of the shouting, everyone temporarily stopped chatting and began to speed up.

NCAA, National Collegiate Athletic Association, it is an association of more than 1,000 four-year colleges in the United States and Canada participating in the alliance, the main activity is to hold various sports leagues, before officially entering the professional league, the NCAA game is the best platform for college students to show themselves, scouts are scattered in all corners, watch the NCAA league games, and select the professional players that their teams need.

The NCAA is one of the most important events for college students in the United States outside of their studies, and its influence is even greater than that of the professional soccer leagues that are not taken seriously in the United States, and major television stations will also broadcast NCAA games. In the NCAA competition, there are three levels and dozens of leagues, and many competitions such as football, baseball, ice hockey, basketball, track and field, gymnastics, and wrestling are played.

The University of California, Los Angeles is a member of the NCAA Football League, which is part of the 12-University Conference of the Pacific.

As the name suggests, the league has a total of 12 teams, and they will play 12 games over a four-month period to determine the league's top championship in the Rose Bowl.

This year's season of the Pacific 12 League officially kicked off last week with the University of Southern California vs. the University of Hawaii, the former won, and this week, the game is about to start in full swing, with the University of California, Los Angeles taking on Stanford University in the first game.

The first game of the season is always the most important, not to mention that the opponent is still the feud of the team. It's like in football, the most exciting thing is always the derby, the city derby, the national derby, and the NCAA league, the UCLA national derby is against Stanford University, and the city derby is against the University of Southern California, they are all mortal enemies who want to tear each other apart, and every game is full of sparks.

This year is no exception.

In order to concentrate and sprint to the game, the team, under the guidance of the coach, left the noisy environment of the school and went to the training camp in the suburbs, where all potential distractions were eliminated as much as possible and the final preparations were fully engaged. After three days of training, the new season officially began.

John and Lu Ke threw the football back into the cart, and John asked in a low voice, "You say, do we have a chance to make the squad?" "The so-called squad includes a third team of substitutes. But as long as you make it to the list, you have a chance.

"The big list? Ha, daydreaming also depends on the time. Kevin Press walked over and threw the football into it as if he were shooting, but he missed the shot and fell to the side, but he didn't look at it, turned around and walked away.

John didn't care, and replied directly, "Some people don't even have dreams, that's sad." ”
