Chapter 24: A Sudden Encounter
During the short vacation, Chang Wei had nothing to do almost every day, except for watching football with his father and chatting with his mother, all that was left was to sit at the dining table and eat seafood.
Chang Wei actually doesn't have high requirements for eating, after all, when he shared a house with Damon before, no matter what it was, he just had to fill his stomach. However, hometown food is indeed a huge temptation for him who has not been home for a long time, and at this moment, Chang Wei is extremely glad that he is not a professional player, otherwise he will definitely be criticized for eating so much.
Before leaving, Hao Sufen also put several jars of home-chopped chili sauce in Chang Wei's backpack, as well as other hometown specialties. Although the luggage was much heavier than when he came back, Chang Wei was not too heavy at all, but behaved elatedly, knowing that it is difficult to eat such authentic hometown specialties in the United States, no matter how heavy it is, you have to carry it back.
Chang Wei did not let his mother send it, but Chang Aiguo insisted on sending his son to the long-distance station. Before leaving, he held Chang Wei's hand tightly, his eyes were a little red, and he whispered: "Xiao Wei, take good care of yourself in the United States, and do it wholeheartedly at work, don't make mistakes, maybe your little mistake will affect the team's record." ”
Chang Wei nodded and said, "Dad, I know, you go back, Mom should be in a hurry at home alone." If you want to go to the United States next summer, I'll book you a plane ticket, and if you don't want to go, I'll fly back for a vacation. ”
The car drove quickly, Chang Wei sat in his seat, and the nostalgia for his hometown gradually faded, replaced by the anticipation for the next race. After the Christmas break, Villanova University's first game will encounter a strong opponent, and the opponent also has some relationship with Chang Wei, that is, Duke led by the old K. Given the strength of Villanova's previous show, this match is also seen as a focus battle by the American media.
After a transfer, Chang Wei's flight finally landed at Philadelphia International Airport, he didn't delay time, picked up his luggage and called a taxi at the airport gate to continue to Villanova. Since the whole team is mostly American, Chang Wei is an Asian face, and the latter takes a lot more time than the former. Therefore, Chang Wei was the last of the players and coaches to rush back to school, but fortunately, there was no delay.
After a good night's sleep, Chang Wei went to the team meeting in good spirits, but he didn't expect Rappers to give him a new task to help several guys in the team lose weight during the holidays. The reason is simple, these kids are not professional footballers, they can't control their diet as strictly as professional players, and it's normal for them to gain weight due to eating Hesse during the holidays, but it affects their game status.
It can be seen that Rappers is really angry, even sitting in the corner, Chang Wei feels that the roar of the coach is ringing in his ears, and several people close to him have been baptized by spitting stars.
"I know you haven't been to the professional league yet, and at the end of the day, you're still students, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't be so you. But! You know, weight gain can affect your form in the race, which in turn will affect the outcome of the match! I don't ask you to practice until midnight every day, but you still have to have the necessary restraint, right? ”
Rappers then named five or six people in a row, including Selested, who had already resigned himself to his fate, all of which were typical of not paying attention to their diet. What makes Chang Wei feel relieved is that his two hardest working players, Thomas and Lee, have not been picked out by Rappers, and it seems that they should still have some restraint during the holidays.
Of course, Rappers's order has become a task of the system again, and this time there are a total of 6 people named, as long as their weight reaches the standard before the start of the game, each person will bring Chang Wei 5 experience points and 1 reputation point, in other words, this task is worth 30 experience points and 6 reputation points, and if it is completed, it will be close to the system to level 2.
Chang Wei was naturally overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to issue training plans to these players according to the system's recommendations. However, this plan seems to be much more normal than before, so normal that everyone doesn't believe that Chang Wei made it up.
"200 push-ups a day, half an hour of exercise cycling, 2,000 meters of running, and 500 ml of skim pure milk." Everyone got a note with only a few lines written on it, next? And then it's gone, and it looks even more normal than a normal training plan. Looking at everyone's strange eyes, how could Chang Wei not guess what these guys were thinking? However, he completely ignored these glances, biting his cheeks and telling them to go according to plan.
Fortunately, everyone saw the results of Chang Wei's work before, even if this normal plan seemed particularly abnormal, several players led by Selestend still obediently carried out weight loss training according to the plan.
During this period, no one discounted, as soon as Thomas spread the news of Chang Wei's insight, everyone subconsciously didn't want to be grabbed by Chang Wei's pigtails; Second, Lappers has already given a death order, who does not meet the standard, all the remaining games will have to reduce their playing time, which undoubtedly hits their soft underbelly, and naturally they dare not be disobedient.
The day before the game, Rappers again organised a medical check-up for all the players in the squad and was pleased that the six players who had previously been overweight had returned to their normal range, and judging by their performance in the training session, they were not affected. However, in Lappers's view, this is something that players must do well, even if the weight is up to standard, there is nothing to praise, but Chang Wei has once again made a great contribution to the team.
After listening to Lappers's praise, Chang Wei just smiled slightly, and he said very calmly: "Mr. coach, this is the task you gave me before, and it is also what I should do, and I deserve your appreciation." But I hope to help the team in other ways in the future, and I hope you will allow me to do that. ”
If Chang Wei said such a thing at the beginning of the season, basically everyone would think that he was a fool, and you want to take more responsibility before you prove your ability? But now Chang Wei said this, but it made Lappers believe that he was sincerely good for the team, so he readily agreed to his request.
Well, in fact, Chang Wei just wants to pretend to be a force, no, it can't be completely said to be a force, and when the season is over, those names in his head can come in handy, now, let's say hello to the boss first!
