Chapter 17: Hard Training (Part II)
Now that Li Lei has nodded and agreed, the new training method that Jimmy and the others came up with will naturally be able to continue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the training officially began, under the suspicious gaze of Li Lei, Jimmy handed him a helmet and a thick, soft vest similar to body armor, which Li Lei recognized as boxers wearing to protect themselves during daily training.
Jimmy looked at Li Lei's puzzled eyes and said, "Put it on, this is the protective gear we have prepared for you." However, in order to ensure the flexibility and agility of your body, the protection of the hands and feet is weak. In case you get hit by a tennis ball..... You know kids, be careful yourself. ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Lei with a look of some concern with a look of knowledge, and asked him to determine whether he wanted to participate in this training again.
"I see." Li Lei didn't respond to Jimmy's eyes, but just took the protective gear and said lightly. Although he didn't say anything, he had already given the most firm answer, he wanted to continue!
"Whew, well, good luck, kid." Looking at Li Lei, who was still indifferent, Jimmy exhaled and blessed with some admiration.
Li Lei didn't reply again, just silently put on protective gear and gloves and stood in front of the goal. At this point, Richard had all the preparations and was waiting for him at the edge of the big penalty area directly opposite the goal. He had a racket in his hand, and a small cart full of tennis balls was right next to him.
Seeing Li Lei, who was ready, Richard began to explain this training method to him loudly, saying: "In order to maximize your strength as much as possible, so that your muscles can form muscle memory of the goalkeeper's various technical movements as soon as possible, we are not going to let you use football for training, but tennis."
Next, I'll hit you with a tennis racket with a variety of shots, whether it's a powerful straight pump, a spinning ball, a lob with a high arc, or even a bouncing ball that changes lines when it lands.
What you have to do in this process is simple. Either you can save the tennis ball, or you have to block both sides of the tennis goal, or even hit it directly into the box. I'm sure you've seen the two straight lines in front of the goal. My request to you is not to keep the tennis ball in the space between these two lines.
In this training, your saving hand, ball prediction, reaction speed, etc., which are the most necessary abilities and skills for a goalkeeper to make a successful save, will be tested the most. And only by overcoming these difficulties can you finally complete this training satisfactorily and achieve the goal of this training.
These are the training methods that we have come up with at your request and based on your unique situation.
Then, we also have a points rule for your training. Quite simply, a tennis ball is saved for 3 points, and a successful tennis ball is 1 point outside the two lines. If you hit the penalty area directly, it will also be counted as 1 point.
However, if you let the tennis ball fly into the goal behind you, that's -3 points. Similarly, if the blocked tennis ball is within two lines, it is -1 point.
Remember, a set of 50 tennis balls is worth 150 points. Remember the child, when your score exceeds 75 points, you will meet our initial expectations and requirements for you.
Finally, be careful with your child, and if you can't hold on anymore, you can always bring it up.
Okay, I'm done. Do you have any questions? If not, we can get started. ”
The reason why Richard said this long paragraph is both an explanation and an exhortation. However, Li Lei's ears obviously only listened to the first half.
As soon as Richard finished speaking, standing in front of the door, he was already half-crouching, ready to save, and said firmly and loudly: "Then let's start!" "If you decide something good, you must do it to the end, this has always been Li Lei's style of doing things, and it has never changed because of anything, and it is still the same this time.
After listening to Richard's detailed explanation, just thinking about it in his head, Li Lei was able to know how perverted and difficult this training method was.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the difference in volume between tennis and football that day has increased the difficulty of Li Lei's save by several levels. Not to mention, there is also the fact that the spin of a tennis ball is inherently stronger than that of a football due to the difference in material and volume when the same force is applied.
These difficulties add up, but Li Leiguang can simulate them concretely by thinking about it in his mind. Thinking of this, Li Lei, who was standing on the door line, couldn't help but jump up, which was both nervous and excited.
"First ball."
"Smack!"
As soon as Richard's words fell, with a crisp and powerful beat, the small grass-green tennis ball flew towards Li Lei like a bullet out of the chamber.
"Whew!"
In the end, Li Lei only saw the faint green shadow of the tennis ball flying past his eyes, and heard the sound of the wind whistling past his ears. For the rest, he didn't do anything, not even his body had time to move.
Faced with this situation, his body and expression froze at once, and the first ball was so difficult and astonishing that it was far beyond his expectations.
At the same time, Richard's loud reprimand also began to reach his ears: "Before, I wanted you to see the goalkeeper information, so hard that you forgot it?!" Or are you already, pull it out!! When saving, don't move your center of gravity in advance, the most important basic rule is that your damn head can't remember! What else do you train?!! -3 points!! ”
As before, Richard may be kind before training begins, but once training begins, he's the most classic live-action version of the so-called Devil Coach.
However, this also happens to be the coach that Li Lei needs most at this time. After being reprimanded so harshly, he has always been unruly, not afraid of heaven and earth, and never suffered losses, he did not show any impatience, irritability, or even anger at this time, but his face was ugly and his brows were tightened, his eyes were burning at Richard in front of him, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and his body was full of ruthlessness that would never stop.
At this moment, his competitive spirit came up.
For Li Lei's state, Richard quietly praised him in his heart. Without such a little backbone and blood, such training would not have been able to continue, let alone succeed. However, then again, if they hadn't understood Li Lei's strong personality, they probably wouldn't have made such a special training plan for him.
After seeing that Jimmy had finished recording the data, Richard shouted again: "Second ball!" ”
"Smack!"
It was another straight volley with a good angle.
This time, without jumping around again, Li Lei, who was engrossed, finally reacted, but his movements were still not fast enough. More precisely, his super dynamic vision has allowed him to react quickly enough, but his muscle memory is not deep enough for him to subconsciously make the right hand movements.
So much so that although his palm blocked the tennis ball flying towards his chest, it caused the tennis ball to bounce straight in front of the goal, that is, within the range of the two white straight lines drawn in front of the goal.
So, this time the result is also obvious.
"-1 point!!"
"Smack!"
In this regard, Li Lei clapped his hands angrily and shouted at Richard: "Damn, come again!" ”
"Third goal!"
...........
In this way, Li Lei's training with the ball fell into a cycle of continuous mistakes from the beginning. However, Li Lei did not have any discouraged emotions, but his emotions became more and more high. In the midst of constant mistakes and failures, the innate aggressiveness factor in his body was completely activated at this moment.
Then, slowly, Li Lei felt that his condition was getting better and better, and the saving action was getting faster and faster, and he had already caught a little feeling.
After 12 consecutive goal failures, he finally made his first successful and effective save in this training session on the 13th. Although the price was the soccer ball he had Richard draw and hit him hard in the arm, he was still excited.
This time, Richard volleyed the tennis ball to his right and near his waist. It's a very awkward position, right in the middle of the human body, with enough distance from the hands and feet. In a situation where it is impossible to twist his ass to make a save, such a shot can be very uncomfortable for all goalkeepers.
Plus, because it's still a downspin ball. When he came to Li Lei, there was a very obvious fall, which increased the difficulty of his save.
Under such circumstances, Li Lei, who had already entered a state of excitement, did not hesitate, his two long legs immediately opened, and he made a standard action to get off the ground, and the center of gravity of his body immediately decreased.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to raise his right arm, which was not wearing any armor, and met the blurred shadow of the tennis ball in his field of vision. This time, his head didn't think about it anymore, and the movements of his body were completely subconsciously made with his full attention.
In the end, it turned out to be good, and he finally made a successful save.
Although the price for this was that a sharp pain immediately came from his right forearm after feeling a strong momentum, he didn't care.
"Ah!!h
Seeing that the tennis ball was blocked and finally flew sideways out of the range of two white lines, after completing the save action, he was half kneeling on the court and couldn't wait to get up, so he immediately waved his fist and roared to the sky.
At this moment, his green muscles were exposed, his big mouth was open, and the hot blood in his body was steaming like boiling water.
His aggressive nature is evident at this moment. The stuffiness that had been buried in the chest because of continuous failures was cathartic like a flood at this moment!
The taste of victory, success, lifted his spirits and fascinated him.
That's the taste! That's the taste!! I fucking love this smell!! He was crazy and excited.
If victory or success is compared to a territory, then Li Lei at this time is a fierce beast who swears to defend the territory.
He looked up to the sky and roared!
He's ferocious!!
He is also domineering!!
