Chapter 52: Pros and Cons
Li Changgeng in the queue was excitedly waiting for his favorite confrontation drill, Geng Xiangzhi's eyes patrolled the queue and said, "Li Changgeng," his right hand pointed to the chair on the sidelines, "Can you go and sit on the stool over there?" ”
Stunned, his mouth opened wide, Li Changgeng didn't move in the queue for a long time, and Sima Shenji next to him pushed him out of the queue, staring at Geng Xiangzhi with blazing eyes, Geng Xiangzhi's right hand continued to point to the stool on the side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Retracting his gaze aggrievedly, Li Changgeng drooped his head and walked to the sidelines.
The other team members looked at Li Changgeng who was walking to the sidelines in surprise and inquiry, and they all showed inquiring looks on their faces, and before they could speak, Geng Xiangzhi was already giving orders.
On the sidelines, Li Changgeng sat on the stool on the sidelines with his head drooping. A hand on his shoulder patted gently, and a deep and gentle voice sounded softly in his ear: "Why is the young man depressed?" ”
Looking up, he turned to see a slender middle-aged man standing behind him. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, stepped over the chair and sat down side by side with Li Changgeng.
"You're Li Changgeng, right?" The middle-aged man asked.
"I am!" Li Changgeng was not particularly surprised, he was the only newcomer, and it was not surprising that middle-aged men knew him.
"Like you, I'm new here, and I just arrived yesterday." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, "Meet you, Li Changgeng's name is Zhao Yu, Lao Geng's assistant coach." After a pause, he added, "His assistant coach at the New York Sword Legion team!" ”
Li Changgeng hurriedly shook Zhao Yu's hand.
Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Lao Geng joined the national youth team Li Changgeng originally didn't want to follow him through this troubled water, this time was supposed to be Li Changgeng's holiday. But yesterday he dragged Li Changgeng over to watch a videotape, and after watching it, Li Changgeng knew that he had been fooled and could never go back! ”
Li Changgeng looked at him curiously. Zhao Yu turned his gaze to Geng Xiangzhi, who was leading the players in training on the field, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "After watching the video, he asked Li Changgeng if he wanted to cultivate a world-class superstar with him, and Li Changgeng replied 'Of course I want to' as soon as his head was hot, so he was fooled and stayed!" ”
Another poor man who suffered from the old man's treacherous plots, Li Changgeng was full of sympathy for the middle-aged man in front of him, but imagining the expressions of the two when Geng Xiangzhi's treacherous plan succeeded, he couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Yu looked back at the smile on Li Changgeng's face and said with a smile: "Do you want to see the videotape that made Li Changgeng fooled?" ”
"Now?" Li Changgeng looked at Geng Xiangzhi in the field hesitantly.
"You don't have anything to do right now, do you?" Zhao Yu said bewildermently, "Don't worry, if Lao Geng punishes you Li Changgeng to intercede with you, he has just succeeded in his tricks, and this little bit of strength is always there!" ”
Li Changgeng no longer hesitated, stood up and walked out of the court behind Zhao Yu.
In the field, Geng Xiangzhi watched the backs of the two, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with knowing smiles.
Inside the video room.
Li Changgeng looked at the game on the screen and blurted out in surprise: "Why is it yesterday's game?" "The screen is yesterday's U17 match, but this video is only recorded after the U20 national youth team players came on the field, and at this moment only Li Changgeng is left on the field as a U17 national youth team player.
Zhao Yu stepped back and sat down on the chair and smiled, "Why can't it be this game?" Watch it carefully, this game has yours!
Yes, there is indeed himself in the video, and it is the first time for Li Changgeng to see his figure on the screen, and he can't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Although the game is his own personal experience, but sitting in the position of the spectator to re-examine this game Li Changgeng still has a very fresh feeling, watching the-for-tat attack on the screen, watching the players of both sides interspersed with running positions to watch the passing of the two sides, exquisite cooperation, superb personal performance, it is really a fierce and pleasing game!
Meet, Li Zheng handled this ball really well!
This breakthrough ...... It doesn't seem necessary, just now if you choose to divide the ball, you have your own teammates on the left and right, and you can shoot the basket under the cover! Li Changgeng was obviously dissatisfied with his offensive organization on the screen.
staring intently at the screen, Li Changgeng kept confirming, evaluating, and reviewing in his heart.
Next to him, Zhao Yu looked at Li Changgeng, his face full of smiles.
The freeze-frame game is over, and there is silence in the room. Li Changgeng was still immersed in the game. I remembered and savored the game just now in my mind for a long time.
Zhao Yu gently lit a cigarette and waited quietly for him to wake up from his contemplation.
Finally, a soft voice broke the silence in the room: "Excuse me, who is the person you are talking about who can become a world superstar?" Li Changgeng finally woke up.
Zhao Yu grabbed the remote control, the picture rotated, frozen again, the camera zoomed in, and the picture of a person passing the ball on the screen was frozen there!
"Me?" Li Changgeng lost his voice.
"Why, do you think it's impossible?" Zhao Yu smiled.
"No!" Li Changgeng calmed down in a blink of an eye, shook his head and said, "I have never doubted the talent I have, and I dare not be arrogant, if I join the ranks of professional players, I may indeed become a world superstar." However, my fate has sealed that it is impossible to become a professional player! ”
"Can't be a professional footballer?" Zhao Yu was stunned, but he obviously didn't want to dwell on the issue, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Whether you want to be a professional or not, don't you want to improve your game? ”
"Of course!" Li Changgeng replied without hesitation, and a fanatical expression appeared on his face at the same time.
"Very well, now reintroduce it. Zhao Yu is the special assistant coach of the national youth team. I am responsible for your daily training in the national youth team, and Li Changgeng is only responsible for your training in the national youth team! ”
Li Changgeng stood up in surprise all of a sudden, and said, "You mean, you are my full-time coach?" ”
Zhao Yu seemed to like to see the shock on Li Changgeng's face, smiled brightly, and nodded very affirmatively.
"Why?" Li Changgeng's head was completely confused, and he asked a stupid question stupidly.
Zhao Yu laughed and said: "Because you are the only stupid boy in the national youth team who needs to receive formal training from scratch!" ”
"Formal training?" Li Changgeng chewed Zhao Yu's words with a wry smile on his face. I have never really received formal training. If the formal training I received at the University of California, Los Angeles, I barely had three months of formal training experience. Trimester? Li Changgeng felt bitter in his heart.
Zhao Yu's reaction to Li Changgeng was very unexpected. In his opinion, Li Changgeng should be a little arrogant when he is a young man. "Formal training from the ground up" is almost a direct negation of all his past training, and people with a more extreme temperament will even think that it is a complete negation of his skills. But the young man in front of him only smiled slightly bitterly, and then had no other expression. Obviously, he completely agrees with his statement, and agrees with it unreservedly.
I don't see the slightest arrogance in him! Modest and cautious, full of fanatical enthusiasm for basketball, Zhao Yu almost understands why the young man in front of him has reached such a level of skill at such a young age, and also understands why Geng Xiangzhi attaches so much importance to him. Because he found that he couldn't help but like this boy a little too.
Zhao Yu sorted out his thoughts and said: "In terms of strength, you are indeed the strongest player of the same age, even in the current U20 national youth team, your strength is outstanding." However, have you ever thought about the flaws in your technology? ”
Li Changgeng nodded, his face gloomy: "I know." So far, except for a few months at the University of California, Los Angeles, Li Changgeng has basically trained alone. The so-called formal training, I basically have not experienced it! There must be a lot of technical defects! ”
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Originally, Li Changgeng thought that he would have to work hard to give you a head start to let you know your shortcomings, but now it seems that you don't need it at all." You don't have to worry, although there is also the shadow of the wild ball, but you have a very solid foundation, and the so-called formal training is just for you to get rid of the chaff and get rid of some redundant things! There are too many fancy, unconventional technical moves in your current technology. Non-standard movements will not only consume unnecessary physical strength, but also greatly increase the burden on the body. "A lot of the injuries you got have to do with that!
Li Changgeng thought so. Since the end of the league, he has often reflected and summarized, and he has a vague understanding, but this is the first time that he has been clearly pointed out. The mood suddenly became hot, "Whoosh! He stood up and said urgently: "Then what are you waiting for, let's start!" ”
"Hehe, don't get excited. The so-called right medicine must first let you know your own shortcomings before you can make the right improvement. Calm down and let's find out what you've exposed in this tape! As he spoke, he pressed Li Changgeng's shoulder and pressed him down and sat down.
In the video room, the video restarted, and the two people in the room began the special training after Li Changgeng entered the national youth team.
On the side of the court, a middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't be lazy, there are still twenty rounds to rest!" ”
The young man who had just slowed down in the stadium groaned in his heart, but his pace had to speed up again. The sound ......of dribbling kept coming, and it turned out that the running teenager was still controlling the basketball in his hands.
This is a training venue for the national youth team, and these two people are naturally Li Changgeng and Zhao Yu
Li Changgeng on the court was already panting and sweating, but it seemed that the situation had no intention of stopping for the time being. This is the fourth day of training for Li Changgeng's U20 national youth team, except for the first day in the video room, Li Changgeng also felt that he was amiable and unexpected, and Zhao Yu's image in his heart has been completely subverted in the past few days.
Zhao Yu is worthy of his name, in fact, Li Changgeng's full-time coach, from physical training to technical guidance, every training Li Changgeng is completed under his supervision and guidance. He was also a well-known Spartan coach. Sima Shenji and Li Zheng heard that Zhao Yu was their coach for the first time, and Li Changgeng still remembers it vividly: Sima Shenji had a silent expression of mourning for the deceased, holding his hands tightly, and seemed to be very sad: "Amen, may God bless you......" Li Zheng, who had never smiled, also patted his shoulder, sighed lightly and shook his head. At that time, Li Changgeng was confused and very puzzled, and after two days of personal experience, he finally understood the reason for Sima Shenji's expression: he had simply fallen into the hands of demons!
The smiling appearance seems to be very amiable, but Li Changgeng, who has been poisoned, knows deeply that the middle-aged man in front of him is a smiling tiger at all. Although he is not ready to use a big stick like Coach Meigello, in Li Changgeng's opinion, Coach Meigello's ruthlessness is not enough in front of him.
"Don't you know? Reporters go outside every day to inquire about the training of the national youth team. You, the only university student in the U20 national youth team, are the focus of everyone's attention. You said that if Li Changgeng revealed something to these reporters, saying that this college student is so easy and hard that he can't even complete the basic training, will those reporters believe it? Zhao Yu told him with a smile. As if in order to increase the persuasiveness, he took out a large handful of business cards and muttered to himself, "Reporter Min of "Sports Weekly"? Reporter Zhang of "XX Daily"? Or ......" seemed to be thinking about who to sell this news to, and his face looked very embarrassed.
Or......
"Want to rest? Okay, no problem, then we'll extend our training for another two hours today. And yours will have to be confiscated. I've heard that you talk on the phone for a long time every night. Li Changgeng thinks this should be the main reason for affecting your training......"
Or......
"It's really embarrassing for your U17 teammates to ask Li Changgeng about your situation today. Should I tell them you're going to be sent back to the U17s because you're not serious about your training, and it's normal that the final squad hasn't been decided yet, isn't it? The speaker smiled.
Li Changgeng didn't necessarily believe all these words, but he inadvertently hit one of Li Changgeng's biggest weaknesses: ! Men and women in love are the most obsessive, and listening to Selena's voice every day is already the happiest thing for him. If deprived, God!
Later, it seemed that Zhao Yu also understood this, and every time there was no other nonsense, he smiled and simply spit out two words: "! That look, that smile, really looks like the Maitreya Buddha who is always smiling. God knows that in Li Changgeng's eyes, he can't wait to give two fists to that smiling face to make his face bloom.
The training in the past few days has made Li Changgeng thoroughly understand what hell is, and also thoroughly understand what the so-called formal training is like. If it weren't for the painful experience of being in the system, he thought that he might not really be able to persevere.
Twenty laps are over.
"Whoosh!" The basketball falls from the basket.
On the ground, a person lay on the ground in a large shape, panting.
The middle-aged man on the sidelines raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, "Now it's three twenty-seven, and it will continue in ten minutes!" ”
Li Changgeng on the ground was panting, and he had no strength to answer. Ten minutes, Li Changgeng only hopes that these ten minutes will never pass.
The door of the gymnasium was pushed open, and Geng Xiangzhi appeared outside the door. looked at Li Changgeng lying on the ground, and then looked at Zhao Yu's face with a sympathetic look. Poor Chang Gung!
Zhao Yu walked over, and the two of them quietly walked out of the door.
"How's it going?"
"Very good, very good! This Chang Geng's foundation is even more solid than you Li Chang Geng imagined, and it is incredible. After several days of fatigue bombing, his movements were not out of shape in the slightest. ”
"I believe this, I want to know how the training has been going for the past two days?"
Zhao Yu had a smile on his face and said, "Won't you see it yourself?" In this way, Li Changgeng was able to complete the training without complaint and without compromise, and the toughness of Chang Gung exceeded Li Changgeng's imagination. He has a strong learning ability and a solid foundation, and the progress in these two days will definitely surprise you! ”
"So you can participate in confrontation training tomorrow?"
"Actually, you can do it today!"
"Very good, then let him go back to group training tomorrow."
"Aren't you going to test the results of the training yourself?"
"Am I still not at ease with your errands?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid you're afraid of making a mess yourself! I heard that you lost to him in a heads-up, aren't you so good? ”
Geng Xiangzhi's face was slightly red, and he said, "Li Changgeng let him have a ball, so as not to hit his self-confidence." If you're not convinced, you can compete with him, and let me see how strong you are! ”
Zhao Yu's eyes glanced at Geng Xiangzhi and said, "Excuse me, do you think I will be like you who don't know what self-respecting identity is?" ”
"Cut!" Geng Xiangzhi scoffed, "If you're afraid, forget it, you don't need to make excuses." ”
"I'm going to be scared?"
"Isn't it?"
……
Two undesirable middle-aged men are having an unnutritious conversation outside the gymnasium. In the gymnasium, Li Changgeng raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall, and lay down again. It seems like it's been ten minutes, but it's stupid not to be lazy if you have a chance.
As soon as he lay down, a voice came from outside the door: "The rest time is over, get up and do the next set of training!" ”
The young man on the ground groaned weakly, looked up to the sky and sighed: "What kind of person is this, don't forget to look at the time?" With a long groan, Li Changgeng resigned himself to getting up from the ground, grabbed the basketball on the ground and ran again.
……
Or the same gymnasium.
The sound of "pop, pop ......" dribbling resounded unhurriedly in the gymnasium, and it was still Li Changgeng who controlled the ball. Opposite him was Zhao Yu, who had changed into sportswear, his arms were spread out, and his steps were moving steadily in front of Li Changgeng, and at the same time, he was intermittently shouting: "Heels...... Turn around...... Time it ......"
"Pop, pop ......" in the sound of rapid dribbling, turning, swinging, accelerating, and suddenly changing direction, the figures have rushed over.
"No, no......" Zhao Yu didn't seem satisfied, "Come again!" ”
"Bang, bang......" The sound of hitting the ball sounded again.
"No, no...... Again! ”
In the empty basketball hall, the sound of dribbling hitting the ground and Zhao Yu's reprimand echoed, but Li Changgeng, who controlled the ball, kept his mouth pursed and didn't say a word, and the occasional gap time flashed on his face with a look of thought and aftertaste.
He's enjoying it.
"Smack, smack!" Two crisp shots, turning, jumping, raising hands to shoot the basket, the basketball broke a wonderful arc and flew to the basket, "......" sound, the basketball fell steadily through the basket.
The ball is in!
Zhao Yu turned to look at the basketball on the ground, his gloomy face finally showed a glimmer of sunshine, and nodded: "Not bad." Rest and come back later! ”
"Hmm!" Li Changgeng replied softly, raising his hand to wipe the sweat flowing through his eyes
Zhao Yu looked at Li Changgeng, his whole body was soaked with sweat, sweat kept flowing down the bridge of his nose under his eyes, and the hair on his forehead was also dripping with sweat. "Go wash your face!" Zhao Yudao.
"Huh!" Li Changgeng answered, turned around and walked towards the bathroom in the gymnasium.
Staring at Li Changgeng's back, Zhao Yu secretly admired in his heart: Chang Geng is really good! When I got to this point of training, I didn't complain, and I didn't have a moment of passivity. The training in the past few days can not be described simply as hard, but also boring in addition to the hardship. Sima Shenji and Li Zheng were also Chang Geng's current age when they first entered the Jianle team, and the first lesson they gave them was also this kind of training, and they only supported it until the third day before they lay down. Now this Chang Geng, hehe, he seems to be still interested.
After a while, Li Changgeng finished washing his face, and his jersey was completely soaked with sweat, so he simply took it off. Shirtless, he reappeared in front of Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu looked at Li Changgeng and couldn't help but applaud in his heart. When I took off my jersey, I found that Li Changgeng's figure was so toned, although it was not as thick as Song Liu Ming and Xu Anya, but there was not the slightest fat on his well-proportioned body. Wearing the jersey, he felt that he was a little thin, and when he took off the jersey, he immediately revealed the true face of Lushan. Zhao Yu finally understood why such a hard training didn't put Li Changgeng down.
"Can we start?" Li Changgeng's face was full of eager expressions, just as Zhao Yu guessed in his heart, he was full of interest.
"I'm not busy, sit down, and it's not too late to summarize the training just now." ZHAO Yudao,
On the bench on the sidelines, two people sat down in turn.
Zhao Yu grabbed the mineral water on the ground and poured it with his head up, looking at his sweaty appearance, the sparring just now was not easy for him.
Putting down the mineral water bottle, Zhao Yu let out a long breath.
Li Changgeng next to him sat quietly and waited to listen to his teachings.
Zhao Yu looked at Li Changgeng and said, "What is your current height?" ”
"One hundred and eighty-three centimeters!"
"You are sixteen years old this year, and calculating the remaining growth potential, your future height should be around one hundred and ninety centimeters. With that height, the best position for you would be a guard – a shooting guard and a point guard! ”
"Hmm!" Li Changgeng nodded, he knows the growth rate of his body in the past two years, and he may not be able to cross the 190 cm hurdle in his life, and the guard is indeed the most suitable position for himself.
"Whether it's a point guard or a shooting guard, as a basketball player, it's necessary to play the whole game, do you think it's possible to play the whole game at the U20 level now?"
