Chapter 196: Care
While Li Tian was asleep, Tie Shu sprinkled a little golden light onto Li Tian's body as he had done before to improve Li Tian's physical fitness, transforming his body.
Until the golden light dissipated, the iron book closed automatically, and the room returned to calm, Li Tian's breathing was steady, and there was no abnormality with normal sleep.
The night passed, and the next morning, when he woke up from his deep sleep, the first thing Li Tian did was to pick up the iron book that had been closed on the side, and then began to look through it.
On page eight, Li Tian saw a line of words he had seen before he went to bed the night before:
"Hit 100% in a single game (at least 10 shots), unseal the eighth page, and get a physical strength upgrade to A reward."
Flipping back, Li Tian's gaze fell on the back page of the cover.
"Mid-range shot S, three-point S, running without the ball S, layup B, dribbling A, stamina A, speed A, bounce B, agility A, power C."
On the back page of the cover, Li Tian saw the attributes that had changed again at this time, and the physical strength column really became A.
"My fitness has finally improved!"
Looking at the big "A" behind his physical strength, Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the physical fitness problems that had been bothering him for a while had finally made a breakthrough.
Last season, Li Tian played as a substitute and played about 20 minutes per game, so the impact of physical problems was not obvious, but this season, Li Tian has become a more important role in the team's tactical system, and he has more responsibilities on the field, and Li Tian is more hard at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which makes physical fitness a headache for Li Tian and Adelman.
And as the season progresses, all players will face fitness problems, especially like this year's Kings are very likely to make the playoffs, and the players' fitness will face a greater test, and at this time. Li Tian, who is not in good physical condition, may be affected even more, which is why Adelman has been very concerned about Li Tian's physical enhancement recently.
However, after the physical fitness was improved to A, this problem was temporarily solved. While thinking, Li Tian secretly calculated in his heart.
Before that, I played about 25 minutes, but now I have improved. Li Tian predicts that there should be no problem in playing 30 to 35 minutes per game, and if you look at the average time per game, it should be about 30 minutes.
In the unlikely event that you have to stay on the field in an extreme situation, you should be able to sustain yourself for more than 40 minutes with A-level physical strength without considering excessive physical exertion.
Although this kind of playing time cannot be compared with the average of about 35 minutes per game like other starters, for Li Tian, such an improvement is already very obvious.
is close to increasing the playing time of about 6 minutes, which means that the data can be slightly improved for Li Tian. After all, Adelman uses Li Tian as the offensive endpoint in many tactical arrangements, and he is not short of opportunities on the field.
And according to his previous experience with the Iron Book, there is another benefit to strengthening his physical strength at this time.
That is, Li Tian's physical energy consumed in the first half of the season has been fully replenished, for Li Tian, it is like the beginning of the season, so in the second half of the season or the playoffs, Li Tian's original weak physical fitness has an advantage compared with other players who have played the whole season, and such an advantage has an advantage in some games. It may be a key factor in determining the direction of the game.
Closing the iron book and putting it back in the safe, Li Tian suddenly felt in a good mood. So much so that he almost forgot that he had an injury on his foot, and it wasn't until he stepped on the ground that he remembered that he had been injured in yesterday's game.
The injury is not a good thing for the players, but it still did not affect Li Tian's good mood, according to the team doctor Hayden. The injury wouldn't be too serious, and if today's MRI results were as Hayden had predicted, it would be about two weeks of rest.
Thinking of his injury, Li Tian immediately took his mobile phone, and he knew that many people should have received the news of his injury at this time. You may also call yourself.
As Li Tian expected, after turning on the mobile phone, a large number of missed calls immediately popped up. Li Mingyuan, Liu Yun, Pete Smith, Agali...... There are also former teammates, coaches, and some friends from the university.
Because Li Tian set up a text message to reply that he was resting and would call back as soon as he woke up, most of these people only made one call, but Li Tian also knew very well that for people who cared about him, he would be very worried if he didn't talk to him.
Glancing at the list of missed calls, Li Tian returned the phone one by one, and the first to start replying was naturally his parents who were in China.
When making a phone call, Li Tian knew that his parents might scold him for not calling them at the first time.
This is indeed the case, after answering the phone, they hurriedly asked Li Tian if the injury was serious, and the two old men began to blame Li Tian for not hiding it from them, so that they could only know the news through the news.
Li Tian was busy explaining that it was because he wanted to wait for the team doctor to do further examination before telling them, and when the two heard that Li Tian was going to be examined, they hurriedly asked if it was serious, so Li Tian quickly explained again, which comforted the two.
But he also told Li Tian to tell them as soon as the test results came out, and Li Tian naturally agreed.
Hanging up his parents, Li Tian dialed Pete Smith's phone.
In fact, after the injury yesterday, Li Tian spoke with Pete Smith on the phone, and Pete Smith called only to inform Li Tian that he had discussed with Eric Hayden to go for an MRI at 10 a.m., and then told Li Tian not to give interviews to any reporters until the test results were not available.
After a few phone calls, Li Tian was afraid of delaying the time to go for an MRI examination in the morning, so she sent a text message to the remaining people, such as Tang Yan, because of her status as a reporter, she could only tell her that her injury needed to wait for confirmation from the team doctor when she texted the other party.
After doing this, Li Tian found that there was only one person on his missed call list, Agary Ranadave.
At this moment, Li Tiancai realized that something was wrong, that is, Judy Annette didn't even call.
"Didn't Judy watch yesterday's game, but she should have followed the news of her injury, or maybe she hasn't gotten up yet?"
Thinking of this, Li Tian looked at his phone, because of the iron book, he got up later today, plus it took nearly half an hour to make phone calls, and it was already 8:15 in the morning at this time, although Judy Annette likes to sleep, but this point should have gotten up at this point, this is not a weekend.
Realizing this, Li Tian suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, it was a feeling of loss without being noticed.
For Li Tian, this feeling is so strange, after all, just now, he replied to one concerned phone call after another, which means that there are still many people who care about him.
"#%%#¥%#" Just when Li Tian was a little lost in his heart, the mobile phone rang suddenly, turned his head to look, and found that it was Agali, Li Tian only remembered that he hadn't replied to Agali's call at this time, and was busy answering the phone:
"I'm sorry, Agali, I was thinking about calling you back."
"Lee, are you trying to experience my pain?" Ajiali did not directly answer Li Tian's words, but asked with a smile in her usual tone.
"Huh?" Hearing Ajiali's brainless words, Li Tian didn't understand it.
"I learned an idiom called the stupid bird to fly first."
Ajiali still didn't answer Li Tian directly, and another sentence that seemed completely unrelated came out, but this time Li Tian understood, the stupid bird flew first, which was taught to her when Ajiali sprained her foot and sent the other party home by herself in early December.
Li Tian also understood why Ajiali was referring to the fact that he had sprained his ankle like her, and muttered in his heart that Ajiali's concern was different, and he replied in his mouth:
"I don't want that experience if I could, you know an injury is a bad thing for an athlete."
Perhaps affected by not seeing Judy-Annette's phone just now, Li Tian's mood at this time was a little lower than when he had just seen the increase in physical strength.
Ajiali also heard the slight depression in Li Tian's mood at this time, and immediately said: "Li, it's not a big deal, it only took me two weeks to recover, as a basketball player, you shouldn't recover slower than mine." ”
"Yes, the team doctor told me that if the MRI results are good, it will take about two to three weeks."
"That's good news." "Of course, I know it's boring to stay at home when I'm injured, so I've got to help you find something to do," she said on the other end of the phone. ”
"Well, why don't I come to you to learn Chinese, recently I suddenly became very interested in the language of your country, especially idioms like stupid birds fly first."
"Learn Chinese?"
"yes, don't you think it's a good idea? But before I do that, it seems like I'm going to have to get some books ready, okay, I'll go to you when I'm ready. ”
Saying that, Ajiali had already hung up the phone, not giving Li Tian more time to talk at all.
"Ajiali learning Chinese?" Reading softly, Li Tian shook his head, not understanding why the other party was suddenly so interested in Chinese.
"Do you need to call Judy, maybe she didn't notice something." Just as he was about to put down his phone, Li Tian suddenly had this thought in his heart, he still didn't believe that Judy Annette would not care about his injury.
"Ding Dong!"
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.
"Did Pete come over so early?"
Hearing the doorbell, while carefully walking out of the room to open the door, Li Tian was talking to himself, Pete Smith just said that he would come to accompany Li Tian to check.
"Ding Dong!"
Just as Li Tian slowly walked over, the doorbell rang again, accompanied by an anxious voice.
"God, open the door!"
"Judy?" Hearing the sound outside the door, Li Tian was slightly stunned.
"She's in Sacramento?" (To be continued......)
