Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Training Camp Begins (3)
"Fuck off." Rogers said coldly.
Only then did Yifan realize that the area he was standing in was the training area for passing practice.
This also means that this is where the quarterbacks train in particular, and only quarterbacks are qualified to set foot in.
If it was placed in the usual inconsequential time, Yi Fan would definitely smile and walk away.
But at this time, he was motionless, and he was there like a stone Buddha.
Rodgers' intention to pass the ball was clear, and it was the simplest warning and provocation.
Also a first-year student, he also aimed for the starting quarterback.
Yi Fan has a feeling that as long as he chooses to retreat here, he is afraid that he will not be able to raise his head in the future.
There are several tracks for passing training, and Yifan walked directly to the track next door, picked up the ball, and practiced along.
Although this is a far cry from the rhythm control that Matthews said, Yi Fan knows that he can't retreat at this time no matter what.
Rogers saw that instead of leaving, Yifan practiced, and said with a little anger: "Good job, it seems that you don't want to leave." It's rare that you're so motivated, why don't we make a bet? ”
"Bet? Okay, you say. Yi Fan said directly when he shot back. No matter what the other party asks, he will not back down.
Rodgers said confidently: "The overall score of this training camp, the one with the low, took the initiative to withdraw from the competition for the starting quarterback." ”
Although Yifan didn't expect the other party to make such a suggestion, he still stubbornly agreed: "OK, of course I'm fine, but if the coach insists on letting me go, I can't help it." ”
Yi Fan just said it casually, but Rogers suddenly became annoyed, as if he had exposed his scales.
"Are you really confident, do you think the coaching staff will put a guy who doesn't do his job, doesn't train all day, and doesn't see anyone at all during the holidays?" Rogers said, staring at Yi Fan.
"You're not me! How do you know I'm not training? Everybody has his own way of training, whether it's you, or me, or Brett, there's definitely a way to do it. Can you be sure you're doing the right thing? "Yifan doesn't give up an inch of land.
Rogers nodded, picked up a ball and threw it towards a swinging circle fifteen yards away.
I saw the ball pass through and hit the target accurately.
"I can't guarantee that my approach is right, but I can guarantee that I am the strongest."
This swinging circle is set up to train accurate passing, and is one of the quarterbacks' training programs.
The passer needs to get the ball into the circle from fifteen yards out to be considered successful.
Seeing this, Yi Fan also picked up the ball and threw it into the circle.
A little cold light came first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon.
Yi Fan's pass passed steadily through the center of the circle.
But Brendan Rodgers didn't bother to respond and continued with his precise passing.
And Yi Fan is no slouch, with Rodgers steadily putting the ball into the hoop after every shot.
This situation was maintained until the tenth goal, and this time, Yi Fan's hand was slightly uncontrollable, and the ball hit the circle frame. Although he was lucky enough to bounce into the circle with the help of elasticity, it scared Yi Fan out of a cold sweat.
"Give up, you can't win me." Rodgers said coldly, there was a kind of proud confidence in his words, and he shot one after another, and each ball hit the center of the circle steadily. This kind of stability is obviously not comparable to Yifan.
"Precise passing, I don't know how many you do every day. But I can tell you that for the past few months, I've been doing a hundred and twelve a day. ”
One hundred and twenty! The corners of Yi Fan's eyes jumped slightly. This number is higher than the requirements of this training camp.
The point is to stick to it every day. It is not difficult to do it once or twice, but it is not easy to stick to it every day for a long time.
Yi Fan has to admit that although he insists on training every day, because he spends time and energy on understanding and recording the data of his teammates, his foundation is not as solid as others.
Especially in the body, the unremitting efforts and sweat shed every day will eventually become surging motivation. This is exactly what Yifan lacks most now.
Although Yi Fan did not admit defeat verbally, his body was gradually out of control, and several subsequent balls were almost missed.
Seeing that Yi Fan's state was gradually declining, Rogers said disdainfully: "Isn't this okay?" I was so disappointed. It seems that the hot girls who are cheerleaders are too charming. ”
Yi Fan heard Rogers mention Kelly, and his hand shook, this time not so lucky, the ball clattered against the edge of the circle, and then bounced backwards.
"What kind of man is he who keeps talking about some people who don't?" Seeing the ball come out of his eyes, Yi Fan became angry and pointed the finger at Rodgers.
But no matter how angry Yi Fan was, Rogers didn't move. He replied coldly: "This way you will be shaken, and you are too weak." Want to rest all day, think about women, and want to be the team's quarterback? You don't even deserve to be a substitute. ”
Rogers's words were like a sharp knife inserted into Yi Fan's heart, but in the face of hard power, Yi Fan had no choice but to turn his head and leave silently.
He ran on the long runway and couldn't help but wonder if what he had done before was really wrong?
God is equal, and He gives everyone the same time. A few months ago, they were almost on the same level, and Brendan Rodgers was also substituted due to a lack of fitness.
And now, Yi Fan can no longer feel that physical weakness from him. But he is standing still and has not improved much.
Observations, tactics, none of this seemed to have any effect in front of Rogers.
"Liu, pay attention to the rhythm of running, don't rush too hard at first!"
A voice sounded beside Yi Fan. It was Matthews who spoke.
He's sweating profusely and looks like he's been training for a while.
He saw that Yi Fan was in a state that was a little wrong, so he deliberately leaned over.
Yi Fan was in a state of confusion at this time, and when he saw Matthews, he immediately told him what had happened.
Matthews smiled and said, "You don't know Rogers' temper. He is very arrogant, many people don't like him and find it difficult to get close to, but they have to admire him. After all, he was able to keep practicing, every day when the sun broke through the dawn, until the moon hung high in the sky, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, he never stopped for a day. ”
"So, am I doing something wrong? Should I spend more time on basic exercises? Yi Fan asked.
Matthews shook his head instead.
"As long as it's the right way for you, as long as you have the courage to pursue your goals, there's nothing wrong with that. No one here is willing to admit defeat. Whether the way in the past is right or not, this training camp will give us the answer. Don't forget, during these five days, our opponent was not Rogers, not anyone else, but ourselves. ”
