Chapter 41: Preparing for the Final Round
It seems that Du Jiayao really intends to be the captain of this team, and he has begun to be more enthusiastic about the team's training preparation than anyone else.
"Hurry up, don't be late for training!" This sentence he basically said when urging his players one by one, so that they could come to the stadium early.
The weather in late autumn is bright and smooth. The sky bloomed with a deep orchid, and the clouds occasionally drifted by, white and flawless; A cool breeze blows through the treetops that have begun to bald, and the golden leaves rattle; There are few people on the green lawn, the spring is sleepy and the autumn is lacking, and the afternoon is lazy, and only a few teams such as the Faculty of Arts are still meticulously fighting against physiological inertia.
"Are you all there?" Du Jiayao was calling everyone's names, as if he was afraid that someone would be late, more like a vulture, patrolling something.
"It's all there!" The big guy is already very familiar, and you can tell who is in and who is not.
'Today, we're going to start preparing again, everyone was great before, and now there's the last round of the group stage. Du Jiayao is mobilizing "According to the grapevine, the next knockout game will be a two-sided match in the NBA playoffs, so we have to ensure that we have better points as much as possible, so that the knockout game can avoid encountering super strong teams at the beginning!" ”
"There is one last round left, we are going to fight for the victory, do the big guys have confidence?!"
"Yes!"
"Okay, for victory, come on!"
"Start training!"
Ni Tu found that Niu Zhi beside him was not enthusiastic, in his opinion, he was really abnormal in the past two days, a little strange, not like the original him, much more silent than before.
"Are you alright? How is it like a stuffy gourd, was it dumped by a female classmate? Ni Tu asked him with concern, making a little joke by the way.
Niu Zhi smiled in return: "I'm normal, what's the matter!" You're thinking too much. ”
"Is it really okay? Let's train hard, I can't find you to play leisure ball at night, I'm not used to it, what have you been busy with lately? ”
"There's been a lot of things lately, and the tutor is very busy, so let's not talk about this, let's train."
It's not normal, it's definitely not normal, this is not Niu Zhi in Ni Tu's impression, Niu Zhi has always been enthusiastic about training before, but today he is very silent, what's wrong? ……
Today's training is divided into two parts, one is to recover physical fitness, and some people don't know how much energy they wasted after resting for two days; The second is to run in as a team and practice concise play. It's a simple arrangement, but it's better than practicality.
Therefore, when it comes to paying attention to high-end things with a group of amateur players, the result is often counterproductive.
Because the right one is the best, and what these players need more at the moment is to have abundant physical fitness, and then they are smart tactics, or they have to practice their skills before talking about tactics, if the skills are not good, talking about the so-called tactics is basically nonsense.
Fortunately, I only had a short break after the last game against the Marx Institute, otherwise the lazy days might have herded everyone, and if you don't talk about it, it will easily lead to "listlessness" in the next game.
It is gratifying that judging from the training situation, the big guys are still in good shape, at least there is no obvious physical landslide, and the team is like a fish in water. This may also have something to do with their thinking, the Faculty of Arts has a very clear and safe arrangement, that is, to hand the ball to Ni Tu, which can also be said to be the consistent tactic of the Faculty of Letters.
The training is in full swing, and the enthusiasm of the team is still hanging. The next game is Thursday afternoon, which was supposed to be a time for cleaning, and the Faculty of Arts will face an "ordinary" opponent, Ni Tu's alma mater, Civil Engineering.
This ball is indeed very ordinary, because except for Ni Tu, who cares about civil engineering? Just like no one cared about the life or death of the Faculty of Letters before, now this kind of "big team" still refuses to put down their bodies and kneel and lick the noble hands of the Faculty of Letters! "The main owner is going to kill his relatives in righteousness, and the captain has promised welfare, of course we should put down our burdens and rob while the fire is fired, anyway, they have no friendship with us, and no one can get along with welfare."
Du Jiayao also seems to want to repay the "humiliation of the crotch". It's Tuesday and time is tight. Du Jiayao didn't know what method he used, so he asked the big guys for leave collectively, and for a full 3 days, these people could "do whatever they wanted".
But the captain was surprisingly serious, in order to show his attention, he even personally came up and kicked twice, although the level was really not flattering, but it still attracted a group of juniors on the side of the training ground to cheer.
"Good! Team Du can! The ball kicks so high! ”
"Where, where, I'm all three-legged cat kung fu, I know that I am two pounds, you are the master, I am just for you to run the logistics, this is my duty!" To showed his modesty at the right time.
Niu Zhi hid behind the crowd, silently, if it wasn't for his size, it would be easy to be ignored, but his head was also difficult for people to ignore. He was very silent, but he was still so meticulous in training, as if he was a machine, mechanically and rigorously completing every activity.
Ni Tu really wanted to find an opportunity to ask, his "bodyguard" has changed a bit bit. On the court, Niu Zhi is like Ni Tu's bodyguard, rushing to do dirty work, and Ni Tu is also willing to share Niu Zhi's skills and experience. Niu Zhi is also Ni Tu's most ironclad relationship in the Academy of Letters, this abnormality of this "strong man" does not seem to be a good change, his friend is in a situation, Ni Tu can't let it go.
The time of training is always "long and fast", and the time will soon come to sunset. The sun was low, low and fighting, against the fateful sunset.
The music of the campus radio is about to sound, and the other students have not yet finished class, and the restlessness that gradually rises on the campus seems so crisp in the afterglow of the sunset.
After the training, the big guys were going to be busy again, and Ni Tu pulled Niu Zhi.
"Let's go, let's go to dinner together, I'll have a treat."
Niu Zhi seemed to want to refuse, but he still agreed: "Do you want to bleed today?" I'm not an ornament! Niu Zhi rarely smiled, and it seemed that he was going to slaughter Ni Tu.
"When you say this, those who don't know think you're going to beat me! You guy is really not big or small, I am your football enlightenment mentor, treat the teacher, treat the teacher with courtesy, this kind of ideological education class seems to be more for you, you have to strangle this kind of deception and destruction of the ancestors in the cradle! ”
"Ahh Niu Zhi seems to be in better shape than before. The two of them ran to the cafeteria.
The canteen is divided into two floors, and the two came to the restaurant on the second floor. There are not many people now, and you can quickly fry it by swiping the card when you choose a good dish.
The two of them chose a better place and ate it. Niu Zhi eats a lot of food and eats very fiercely, Ni Tu can't grab him, this big man has successfully applied the style on the court to life.
"I see that you haven't been in a good mood lately, Niu Zhi." Ni Tu asked.
"There's a lot to worry about." Niu Zhi said while eating.
"Could it be that our five big and three thick Niu Zhi really think about spring? It's exciting to think about. Ni Tu smirked.
"Not really, I don't want anything right now."
Niu Zhi put down his chopsticks, was stunned for a while, and wanted to pick them up again, but his hand retracted halfway through, and he was stunned again.
After a while, Niu Zhi looked at Ni Tu and asked quietly, "Ni Tu, why are you playing?" Isn't that interesting? ”
This thoughtless question suddenly blindfolded Ni Tu's question, what else can he play football for? Isn't it a hobby? Isn't it easy to choose because of your hobby? Playing football is of course the most fun part!
"I like football, playing makes me happy...... Ni Tu replied.
"Then if one day you find that the things you like are not as beautiful as you imagined, it can be said that the gold and jade are ruined on the outside, and there are countless dirt hidden in the places where you can't see, will you still persevere?" Niu Zhi seemed to be waiting for an answer from Ni Tu.
"No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we should go on and take it one step at a time, it's better than giving up halfway, not just football, it's all things in the world." Ni Tu replied to him, thinking of his "coward" moment.
……
There is still the last round of the group stage, Du Jiayao "gathered" the big guys in the name of football and victory football, which touched everyone's heartstrings, and in addition to football, his "supplemental" benefit is the self-service barbecue of Hanba Weide worth 68 yuan per person. With good food and drink as a reward, everyone's interest becomes very high, there are benefits for them, and people find that playing football is also a very beautiful thing. And Niu Zhi's ups and downs of mentality are not many people will care, just kidding, everyone is an adult and very busy. Who doesn't want to eat and drink when they choose to play football?
