Chapter 30: Practicing Yoga
"Legends? Aren't you the captain's henchman? Why don't you train with the captain in the morning? Devin asked curiously.
"What? Do I have this image in your eyes? Joseph was very upset when he heard this, "I'm not a!" I am his good brother and his future agent! When it comes to morning exercises, I have to sleep in the morning, and I never exercise with him in the morning. β
"Oh, I'm joking, don't take it to heart!" Devin hurriedly confessed, he still had to train with Hoggist, but he didn't want to offend Hougist's good brother.
"Forget it, forget it, I don't remember the villain, I don't care about you, if you want to train with Hogist, it's best to start with the warm-up, my brother's training is not small, you don't do a good job of warming up and be careful of injury!"
Although the Williams brothers had been playing for a while, they still obediently warmed up with Hoggist, and then followed Hoggist to do a few sets of sprints and turnbacks, and after just a few runs, the two were already panting and sweating.
After a 10-minute break, the official project training begins. Hoggist said to the two: "I've worked on your finishing ability and rebounding ability before, and you all know how to train, if you want to continue to improve, just train it." What you're lacking as an interior player is the speed you can move on the defensive end, which directly leads to your small defensive area and your inability to get out of the basket, so it's hard for you to get a chance to play except on special occasions. β
"Yes, you have a point, so how should we train?" Devin asked.
"Follow me to practice the pace of defense, learn the essentials first, and then the two of you take turns to defend me, starting to defend from the three-point line, I won't use the change of direction to pass people first, just go straight to break through, and then I will increase the breakthrough means after you are proficient."
"Okay!" The Williams brothers nodded yes.
"I'll tell you the details of the defensive sliding step first, you must put the center of gravity on the forefoot when retreating, if the step is easy to fall down on the heel, you must raise your hands when retreating, so that the referee can see that you are not pushing, pulling, or beating suspicions, if you can, you can physically stick to the opponent to press the opponent......" Haugist seriously explained the key points of the defensive pace, and after talking for a long time, the Williams brothers nodded frequently.
"There is a great man in the East who said, 'Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth,' and I have said so much, how much you have really learned must be tested by actual combat. Let's start training......"
β¦β¦
After a morning of training, the Williams brothers were too tired to get up, and in order to let them go from shallow to deep step by step, Hoggist slowed down at the beginning to break through, and whenever the two improved, Hougist sped up by one point, and by noon the two were able to keep up with Joseph.
At noon, several people were grumbling with hunger, and Joseph packed up his equipment and greeted a few people on the field: "Brother, don't practice, it's noon, aren't you hungry?" Pack up and eat at my house! β
Before Joseph could finish speaking, he heard a wild roar of sports car engines, accompanied by a sharp sound of brakes, and a brand-new Dodge Challenger Mopar stopped on the side of the road outside the stadium. A girl wearing sunglasses got out of the car, her jet-black hair was coiled on the top of her head, her loose black biker jacket looked playful and cute on her body, and the skinny jeans on her lower body wrapped up a good figure, and she was wearing the recently released AirJordan13GIGI on her feet, which looked very fashionable.
Joseph blew a hooligan whistle at the girl and accosted, "Beauty, you are also here to play?" I'm Hougist, the No. 1 high school student in Nevada, do you want me to teach you how to play? β
Devin whispered to Larry, "This car looks familiar!" β
Larry also felt familiar, and responded, "yes, isn't this the challenger that Hoggist won in Carson City's bet with the local tyrants?" β
"Yes, yes, this car is a limited edition, there shouldn't be so many of the same model, didn't Hoggist give the car away? Was it given to her? Devin guessed.
"It should be, then this should be the captain's girlfriend, right?" Larry makes a reasonable assumption.
The beautiful woman stepped forward, took off her sunglasses, and quipped at Joseph, "Are you Haugist?" Dunk a basket for my sister to see? β
"Ahh Mr. Qiu! Joseph was immediately dumbfounded, at which point Haugist walked up behind Joseph and kicked him in the ass.
"If Vitra finds out that you've accosted other girls, I wonder what will happen to you?" Hougist scoffed.
"Don't don't, big brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have molested my sister-in-law! But I didn't recognize Mr. Qiu's outfit! Don't blame those who don't know! Joseph hurriedly forgive, "That's it, in order to show the sincerity of my apology, I'll treat you to lunch, and eat any hamburgers in my store, it's enough!" β
"Hee-hee, they are all Chinese, sister, I will forgive you, I won't eat the meal, Helian wants to eat a nutritious meal during the training, and after eating, my sister will conduct secret special training for him in the afternoon!" Have fun with yourselves, Sister Helian will take it away, bye-bye! Qiu Jingli put on her sunglasses, took the initiative to go up and take Horgist's hand, and the two of them walked towards Mopar with their fingers clasped.
"Tut-tut, what a pair of golden boys and girls, talented women!" Joseph sighed as he looked at the backs of the two of them leaving.
"Isn't that the teacher who teaches Chinese at the school? Are she and Hougist actually in a relationship? The Williams brothers gossiped around to find out the truth, "Joseph, tell us the inside story!" β
The three of them chatted and gossiped and walked towards Bill's burger joint......
β¦β¦
After the two got in the car, they first had a long kiss, and Hougist looked at Qiu Jingli's pretty face for a long time, and exclaimed, "WOW, you actually wore AJ13, and your style, it's so cool!" β
"Isn't it to look like you?" Qiu Jingli pouted and said.
βYouaresosweethoney!β Hougist kissed Qiu Jingli lightly on the face again, "Let's go!" β
Back at the apartment, Qiu Jingli threw a large and brand-new bath towel to Haugist and drove him into the bathroom, "First wash your stinky sweat for my sister, sister, I'll prepare lunch." β
Hogist smiled in the bathroom: "Won't my sister come to take a mandarin duck bath with me?" β
Qiu Jingli didn't pay attention to Haojist, and came to the kitchen to process the ingredients and prepare a nutritious meal. When lunch was almost ready, Haugist walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
Qiu Jingli brought the nutritious meal to the table and set it up, and raised her eyes to see Haugist's naked upper body, lean and well-proportioned, and her muscle lines were obviously thin, and she couldn't help blushing, "You put on your clothes, how bad is this!" Shame on you! β
"How's my body? Not bad, right? Hougist said, raising his arms to show off his muscles.
"What's not bad! The muscles are all thin, you should gain muscle, I really don't understand that you are so thin to see that you don't suffer much in confrontation when you play games! Qiu Jingli pouted and threw the apron in Hoggist's face.
"Uh......" Haugist didn't expect that his proud figure was actually despised by Qiu Jingli, so he had to take out a clean championship commemorative T-shirt from his bag and put it on his body, "I have always felt that I am in good shape!" So how do I gain muscle? β
"Is your daily training amount enough, or is you eating too little high-quality protein, I have packed your lunch during the holiday, from today onwards, you will do yoga with me in the afternoon, and go to the gym in the afternoon of two, four, and six, so that you can practice during such a holiday, and give them a surprise when you start school!" Qiu Jingli designed a training plan for Haugist.
"What about Sunday?" Hoggist crossed his fingers and counted for a long time, "What kind of training am I doing on Sunday?" β
"Are you stupid? You've spent most of your day training, and if you practice seven days a week, I'm sure you'll be exhausted before school starts! Qiu Jingli poked Haugist's head with her finger.
"Okay, let's eat, I'm starving." Hoggist rubbed his head, "What are you going to eat today?" β
"Grilled cod, snow crab and sea urchin salad." Qiu Jingli mouthed at Cai Nunu on the table, "It's all high-quality protein, it may be a little small today, and I will increase the amount for you tomorrow." β
"Wow, it's such a high-grade ingredient again!" Hogist exclaimed.
"So you don't play well to repay me?"
β¦β¦
After enjoying the food under the name of "nutritious meal", the two began their yoga practice.
"Have you never been exposed to yoga before? I feel that middle-aged women in the United States are very popular among yoga, don't aunts practice yoga at home? Qiu Jingli sat on the yoga mat and chatted with Haugist.
"Hey, my mother is busy with work every day, and when she comes back from work, she is tired like a dog and has to do laundry and cooking, how can she have spare time to exercise!"
"Alright then, I'll teach you from scratch! The school of yoga I practice is called Astangha Yoga, which is the oldest system of yoga practice. It is divided into three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced. The choreography for each level is fixed, with a lot of postural exercises, culminating in handstands and rests. Ashtanga Yoga is a balanced exercise of strength, flexibility and endurance of the body, and is also known as "power yoga". This type of yoga requires a high level of physical fitness on the practitioner, so it requires the practitioner to be physically fit and extremely patient. Yoga is performed with laryngeal breathing, which is a slight sound in the throat. Because this kind of yoga is very intense, you should not blindly pursue the completion of the movements and ignore the body's ability to bear it when we practice it later. If you feel overdrawn, short of breath, or have pain in your body, it's more than your body can handle, so stop yourself! We start at the basic level, and if your body can handle it, we gradually increase the intensity of the exercises. Qiu Jingli talked a lot, and said that Haojist's head was about to explode.
"Slowly, slowly, you said too much, I digest and digest, this yoga has high requirements for physical fitness? So how can you afford it? Hougist asked, rubbing his temples.
"Why, do I look so weak that I can't help it?" Qiu Jingli glared at Hogist.
"Hehehe......" Haugist laughed dryly a few times to hide his embarrassment.
"Let's start, follow my movements, rest if you can't do it, don't hold on!" After Qiu Jingli finished speaking, she adjusted her breathing, closed her eyes, and began to move.
Hoggist imitated meticulously, but after all, his body was not as flexible as Qiu Jingli, and the more he did it, the more sore the ligaments on his body became, and the beads of sweat that were the size of beans dripped down his cheeks and dripped on the yoga mat, making a snapping sound.
"If you can't hold on, stop quickly, and if you force it to hold on, you'll get hurt!" Qiu Jingli squinted her eyes and glanced at Haojist, who had a pained expression.
"It's okay, little meaning, I can do it three more times after this time!" Haugist has obviously reached the limit, but he is still stubborn.
"Okay, don't carry it to death, exercise should be gradual, just thinking about eating one bite to become a fat man can't do it." Qiu Jingli persuaded two sentences to see that Haojist was still insisting, his face was blue, and then he continued: "Okay, okay, you can rest quickly!" I will never laugh at you. β
Hoggist wanted to argue a few more words, but the pain in his flesh was tearing at his spirit, and he had indeed reached his limit. Hogist collapsed on his yoga mat, gasping for air, his body motionless and waiting for the pain to be relieved.
Qiu Jingli closed her eyes again, no longer paying attention to Haojist, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and continued to do her movements unhurriedly.
After another half of the day, Qiu Jingli changed from a handstand back to sitting cross-legged, her five hearts up, adjusting her slightly disordered breathing, and then opened her eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled, and saw that Hogist was still lying there motionless in the same position as before.
"Are you alright, why are you still lying on your stomach? Is it hurt? Qiu Jingli asked with concern. But Hougist did not answer. Qiu Jingli was shocked, could it be sudden cardiac death from overdose?
Qiu Jingli hurriedly got up and ran to Haojist's side, and with great effort, he turned him flat on the ground, leaned down to probe Haojist's snort, and found that he was actually out of breath!
