Chapter 55: Righteous Sparring
The message became more and more fierce, and finally even Director Xiao heard about it. He was a little uneasy, and specially called Coach Zheng over to learn about Pan Xiqi's specific situation.
"I said Lao Zheng, I recently heard that Pan Xiqi's training situation is a little abnormal, it seems to be far beyond the amount of training he can bear, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Coach Zheng now regards Pan Xiqi as a baby bump in his heart, and he can't wait to see his training several times a day, so he also knows his situation quite well. "That's right, on the basis of the training volume arranged by the experts, Pan Xiqi took the initiative to ask for a doubling." Coach Zheng replied.
"What? Doesn't that mean he's overtraining now? I'm afraid this won't work, after all, his physical foundation is so poor, can his body keep up? As the head coach who is directly responsible, why don't you know how to let him be a little more restrained? Director Xiao's words revealed a hint of blame.
"In the first few days, I was going to wait for him to get a little bit of a minor injury before I could make adjustments to teach him a lesson. Who knew that every time he finished training, he saw that he couldn't hold on, but when he came back from home the next day, Pan Xiqi didn't look like he was fine, and his body didn't look like he couldn't bear it. It's been almost a month now, and he hasn't missed a single training delay. On the contrary, because of the increase in the amount of training, the training effect is much faster than planned. Coach Zheng shook his head and explained.
"And what's going on? So, is Panci right to take the initiative to increase the amount of training? Director Xiao was a little surprised.
"yes, at least so far, I can't find any reason to object. This Pansiqi is really incomprehensible everywhere. Coach Zheng sighed.
"In that case, let him be. As long as it doesn't affect him to achieve good results for the Beijing team, we don't have to worry too much about the rest. After all, he is a once-in-a-century tennis genius, and it is normal for some things to be difficult for ordinary people to understand. ”
From joining the team to the present, except for the first day of shocking all the members of the Beijing tennis team, Pan Xiqi has never shown his tennis skills in front of others, but has devoted himself to physical training. Under this overload of training, the muscles of his whole body are suffering unimaginable damage.
At the end of each day's training, his muscle fibers are actually torn, which means that Pansiqi suffers a muscle injury every day. But the miraculous treatment of the alien dog who came home every night allowed his muscles to recover quickly.
In this repetition of damage-repair, Panci's muscles were getting stronger and stronger at an astonishing rate, and now he felt that the strength contained in his body was no longer comparable to that when he first joined the team.
More than two months later, as his muscles grew stronger, twice the amount of training that had made Pansiqi want to die seemed to be less challenging than it had been at the beginning. With his current physical strength, although he is still a little struggling, after completing a day of training, he just feels tired, but there are no more muscle injuries.
Although not as painful as it was at first, Pansic insisted on going home every night to be treated by the alien dog. After all, alien technology can almost restore his body to its original state in an instant, and the fatigue caused by training is dispelled without a trace. And the alien dog strongly requires him to provide as much energy as possible, so it has become one of his daily tasks to go home every day to solve personal hygiene problems.
As for his roommate and little fan brother, Lin Teng, he lives a completely different training life from him. Because Lin Teng's main position was not recognized by everyone, the arrogant Lin Teng worked hard during this time and carried out unprecedented crazy training.
Of course, unlike Pan Xiqi, who only conducts physical training, Lin Teng's body does not have any problems, and only needs to maintain daily strength. For most of the day, Lin Teng is honing his tennis skills on the court.
Although he does not live in the dormitory at night, Pan Xiqi usually goes back to the dormitory to take a nap during his lunch break every day. At this time, Lin Teng usually rests in the dormitory, so the two often communicate, and Pan Xiqi knows Lin Teng's situation well. But in recent days, Pan Xiqi found that Lin Teng did not return to the dormitory during his lunch break, and this situation continued for several days.
At first, Pan Xiqi didn't care, but gradually he found that not only Lin Teng, but also many team members in the dormitory next door didn't seem to be in the dormitory at noon. Finally, seizing a chance for Lin Teng to go back to the dormitory to get something, he planned to ask Lin Teng to find out what was going on.
"I said Lin Teng, why haven't you been back to the dormitory at noon these days? Where did you kid go? Pansiqi asked.
"Oh, nowhere to go, it's in the arena." Lin Teng hurriedly replied and prepared to leave.
"Eh, wait, you're in a hurry." Pansiqi hurried to stop him. "In the arena, what are you doing there at noon? Don't tell me you're training on the pitch? ”
"Of course, what else can you do besides training?"
After listening to Lin Teng's answer, Pan Xiqi jumped up from the bed and asked in surprise: "Isn't it, you really don't rest on the field at noon?" As for it, you don't have to work so hard, right? ”
Hearing this, Lin Teng looked at him with a strange expression and teased: "Speaking of hard work, it seems that you are the hardest working person in the whole Beijing team now, right?" Everybody says you're a training freak who trains every day at twice your body's load. I'm really small compared to you. ”
"Ah, you all know this, and I don't know which big mouth is the big mouth? What is there to advertise about this kind of thing. It must be the physiotherapist Lao Li, and Coach Sun is also possible. Pansiqi guessed who leaked his information.
"Nonsense, you are now the number one key figure in the Beijing men's team, and I don't know how many people are watching your every move. Hey, Uncle Pan, you can always surprise people, if it was me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive such hard training, I really don't know how you did it? Lin Teng said with emotion.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about me, I'm asking about your situation, how did it get to me. Tell me, what do you want to do with training so hard? It won't be to defeat me, but if so, it's probably not enough. To lighten the mood, Pansic made a joke.
"Defeating you is my ultimate goal, but I don't think about it right now, I think about the team tryouts that are about to start. After all, only by standing out in the team selection tournament can you get the main position and participate in the National Tennis Grand Prix to be held half a month later. ”
"That's what happened, why didn't anyone inform me. However, Lin Teng, with your background after graduating from a famous online school in the United States, you should be very confident in your own strength, and the team selection competition should not be difficult for you, right? ”
"You've long been identified by the manager as the number one main player, so you don't have to worry about that, you just need to train with peace of mind. I'm different, although I have confidence in myself, but lately the contenders for the main position have not been idle, all of them are working overtime to train. Didn't you notice that there were a lot fewer people in the dormitory at noon? That's because they're still training on the pitch. After all, I haven't achieved the main position yet, so I can't lose to them in this area. Lin Teng explained the reason why he did not return to the dormitory at noon.
"It turns out that this is the case, it seems that I am really ashamed to be the captain, and I don't know anything about the situation of the team. You wait for me, I'll pack up and go with you. Pansiqi hurriedly got up and began to clean up.
"Uncle Pan, what are you doing here?" Lin Teng asked strangely.
"I'll go with you on the court and be your sparring partner. I joined the team with you, and you recognized me as an uncle, and now that you are at a critical moment, how can I not do something? ”
"I heard me right, uncle, are you willing to be a sparring partner for me?" Lin Teng couldn't believe what he heard.
"What are you doing stupidly, you don't think I'm not qualified to be a sparring partner for you, do you?" Pan Xiqi smiled and touched Lin Teng's head.
"No, no, no, it's so qualified. At your level, uncle, I really can't think of anyone who can say that you are not qualified. Let's go, let's go now. As if he was afraid that Pan Xiqi would regret it, Lin Teng grabbed Pan Xiqi and rushed to the court.
When he arrived at the stadium, Pan Xiqi found that most of the venue was in full swing training, and it seemed that Lin Teng was right, and many members of the Beijing team were making their final efforts for the next team tryouts.
Finding an empty court, Pansic and Lin Teng lined up on both sides, ready to start practicing.
"Uncle Pan, you have been doing physical training for the past two months, and I believe that your strength should be a lot stronger. I remember when you fought me in Shanghai, you didn't have a very good strength, and today you have to show me the results of your training in the past two months. Lin Teng said with anticipation on his face.
"Well, I've suffered a lot in the past two months, and it's time to see the results." Pansiqi was also interested, ready to test his current physical strength.
"Let's take a look at the use of a third of the force. In the past, I could only afford about a set of matches at most, and then I would get injured. I wonder if there is no such problem now? Pansic thought to himself.
"Look, I'm ready to serve." reminded Lin Teng, Pan Xiqi threw the tennis ball upward, his body formed a reverse bow shape, and after fully leading the racket, his arm drove the racket with one-third of his strength and hit the tennis ball hard.
"It's so fast, it's close to 200 kilometers." Seeing that the ball was strong and sinking, Lin Teng's body was immediately on alert. He didn't expect Pansiqi's physical condition to be able to send such a fast serve. You must know that for Asian male players, a serve of 200 kilometers per hour is extremely rare, and few people can cross this line at all.
But for Lin Teng, the usual opponents in the American tennis school are all tall European and American players, all of whom can be called serving cannons, so this kind of ball speed does not pose a substantial threat to him. In addition, Pansizi's ball did not have a large angle and did not apply spin, so he only took a small jump at his feet, and he was in place in time to push the ball back with a forehand.
"Beautiful return serve!" Seeing that Lin Teng defused his powerful serve well and returned a deep landing point, Pan Xiqi praised it.
