Chapter 217: Twenty Days of Serious Tempering

We will be back!

When Zhong Yu said this sentence under the light, he realized that unconsciously, he had developed strong feelings for this team.

At the beginning, when he was a substitute, he certainly couldn't find much belonging to the Hornets. At that time his goal was just to get more points and be able to perform better because he just wanted to stay.

However, after the battles, he sweated on the field with his teammates again and again, and his feelings for this team became deeper and deeper.

By now, he feels that the word Hornets has almost been integrated into his body and blood. Became one's own breath.

Therefore, when he was eliminated, that sadness suddenly invaded Zhong Yu's body.

Paul was able to see his grief at this moment, although he did not shed tears. Zhong Yu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and Paul saw that it was Zhong Yu, turned his head and smiled wryly.

"Hey, man, I gotta say, we weren't pretty enough." "Or rather, I didn't do a good job well enough to leave us with only one of these results," Paul said. ”

Zhong Yu stretched out his right hand, put it up, and said, "Let's work together next season!" Good buddy. ”

"Well, next season, we're going to make a mess of the whole league." Paul said: "This offseason, what's going on. ”

"Going to ......" Zhong Yu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let's talk about it slowly in the future, we still have time...... This time, you should go to Yanjing again. ”

"Go." Paul said, "I'll see you in Yanjing then." ”

"It's still early!" Zhong Yu said: "I haven't left the United States yet, I need an intensive surname training here, and I still have a lot of time to go to your house to eat, I don't think you will not diswelcome me." ”

Paul laughed, "Of course. ”

Then, the two opened their arms and hugged each other tightly, and this season, they walked together, and in the playoffs, for the whole team, they fought fiercely again and again.

"Come on!"

"Come on!" The two men whispered this in each other's ears, then looked at each other and smiled, letting go of each other. Paul went over and talked to Kobe Bryant for a while, and Bryant said, "Chris, although you guys are playing tenaciously, we have to do better. ”

"We'll be back." "You have to keep that in mind because by next season we're still going to have to come back," Paul said. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. And, waiting for that guy too. Kobe glanced at Zhong Yu, and then repeated, "I'll wait for you." ”

After that, Zhong Yu also stood with Kobe, and the two faced each other-for-tat in the showdown in this series, eager to tear off a few pieces of skin from each other. But now that the game is over and the Lakers are victorious, Kobe Bryant has no more hatred.

"Hey, man." It was Kobe Bryant who took the lead and said, "I'm embarrassed to beat your team. But it can't be helped, it's the game, the brutal game. ”

Zhong Yu also smiled: "It's okay, we'll be back next season." We're going to beat you hard, I mean, if you're in good shape enough to make it to the Western Conference Finals. ”

Kobe Bryant laughed, his smile, Zhong Yu is rare, this is a relatively cold man.

"Well, I'm still waiting for you in the Western Conference Finals next season, but I hope that you, a rookie, have the same strength as your mouth."

"Okay." Zhong Yu said.

"By the way, when do you have time? I think my wife will cook you a good dinner, and Chris will come too, which is my invitation to you. Of course, even Rob [Pelinka] has told me about it, and he wants our relationship to work well. It's good for all of us. ”

Kobe Bryant rarely said so much, and after saying it, Zhong Yu nodded: "Thank you for the invitation, I will go with Chris." ”

……………… After greeting Kobe, Zhong Yu also said some words to several other players, such as Gasol or something. Gasol's house, and Zhong Yu, may become a relatively big enemy in the Olympics.

The press conference after the game was more problematic, because after today's game, the list of teams that entered the finals was officially established.

And the Hornets, although they have frequently upset in the playoffs this season, defeated strong teams like the Mavericks and Spurs, and now fall under the Lakers, they still attract everyone's attention.

In particular, Jongwook has become more and more well-known recently, and there is already a trend of becoming the first person in the playoffs.

At least in terms of fame, he has already exploded the three old men of Kobe Bryant and the Celtics in the final battle, becoming the new favorite in the eyes of fans.

Therefore, today's reporters will of course have quite a lot of questions about Zhong Yu.

"Jongwook, in this game, the Hornets were eliminated by the Lakers on the road...... Is there anything you would like to say about the Hornets' defeat? ”

The reporters immediately spoke to Jong-wook about the problem.

They hope to find a trap to ask Zhong Yu from this seemingly mild question.

Of course, Zhong Yu also knew, he thought for a moment, and then said: "The problem I want to say is that we still lost to the Lakers this time. We need to improve more. Whatever we were thinking about before the game, at least for now, we need to think about how to improve ourselves so that we can be stronger and face more teams in the future. ”

From here, Zhong Yu's answer to questions still has his own set of skills.

The reporters were a little unwilling, so they asked a more pointed question.

"So, Zhong Yu, since you think you still need to improve, what do you think the Hornets need to improve the most?"

This question has a murderous motive, and once Zhong Yu answers it, he may have to sow discord, and in tomorrow's newspaper, there may be absurd headlines such as "Zhong Yu bombards the team's coaching staff".

There's no way to blame the media, people rely on these to survive.

Zhong Yu can only answer, after all, the media is essentially interdependent with them. If a player is not famous, it is likely that the only way to support himself is that salary, so it is quite necessary to have a good relationship with the media.

Zhong Yu said: "That's right, I think there are some of the main problems of our team at the moment. But no matter what, we will try to overcome it, and if something is bad, we will try to overcome it. Of course, what to overcome, and how to overcome these things, is not something I should worry about. As a Hornets player, all I can do on my own is train myself to prepare for the next season. So, I'm going to train as hard as I can for the sake of the team and that's what I can do. ”

Zhong Yu said this, which is equivalent to not saying it, but basically it can be regarded as coping with it.

The next day of ――――――――, Jongwook got a trip from Scarlett. Johnson woke up in his bed.

Outside, the sky was slightly bright, and Scarlett was lying next to her.

After all, the two of them have not been getting better for a long time, and it is when both of them are in their twenties, **, getting together, there were several fierce battles last night, and today Scarlett is a little soft, lying in bed and not wanting to get up.

"Honey." Scarlett's right hand drew circles on Zhong Yu's chest: "Will you always love me?" I've always loved me. ”

"Absolutely." Zhong Yu himself rubbed her hair, and then said, "Sweetheart, you are so beautiful and so surnamed, I won't love you." ”

"But one day I will grow old, and I will be like other old women, and I will become nothing, and at that time, will you still be the same as now?"

"Of course." Zhong Yu said: "I will always love you." Don't think about it, many things, we all need to experience and experience them slowly, I will always accompany you to do these things, you don't have to worry. ”

"Okay." Scarlett burrows into Jongwook's arms, but neither of them wants to sleep.

Scarlett asked, "This season is over, what are your plans for the time being?" ”

Zhong Yu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I will first stay in the United States, follow the advice of the trainer, and train for 20 days according to my physical condition and other aspects. When this training program is done, I will go back to my country and then I will prepare for the Olympics. ”

"Twenty days of training?" Scarlett said, "Then you can stay in the United States for a month?" ”

"Well, it should work." Zhong Yu said: "After all, I am here, and I still need to fulfill some contracts, but I will hurry up...... My dear, I don't think you can easily understand the feeling of a person wanting to go back to their hometown. Even though I didn't like those places very much before, but now that I've been away from China for so long, all I want to do is go home, even if I can see China's land. ”

This is not patriotic or unpatriotic, but going home may be a habit that is integrated into the blood and bones of the Chinese. In this place, Jongwook speaks English, and most of the people around him don't look the same as himself...... I really want to go home, speak Mandarin or dialect, and be surrounded by familiar people.

"Okay, I can feel your eagerness...... I would also like to visit your country. ”

"Of course you can, I'm welcome ......"

―――――――― Zhongyu's twenty days of training, if he were to describe it in a few words, it would be: fulfillment, exhaustion, and progress.

Now, the system in Zhong Yu's body has unsealed the first area and the three stacking effects that come with it, and the two stacking effects that the second area already comes with, the third area and the fourth area.

This wedge-shaped sign, the transformation of Zhong Yu's body, is also obvious.

After a season of self-training, coupled with the transformation of Zhong Yu by the wedge logo, his bench press performance has risen by nearly 10kg, the vertical jump has increased by nearly 8cm, and the speed of 100 meters has increased by nearly a second.

And within 20 days of the end of this season, Zhong Yu stayed in the United States and started his devilish training.

Jong-wook's personal trainer, Leto, found that Jong-wook's resilience was better than that of the average athlete.

This is also a benefit that the wedge sign brings to Zhong Yu.

His physical recovery is quite good, and other players must be careful in training, for fear that they will be injured and damage their careers.

As for Jongwook, his training volume can be increased a lot because his recovery is quite strong.

This kind of resilience is a bit amazing for personal trainer Leto, because he thinks it's amazing.

As a result, Zhong Yu's training volume has also increased.

His main training items include physical fitness, strength, jumping, speed, body coordination, and flexibility. On the technical side, there are also shots, breaks, and so on.

With the help of these training programs, after 20 days of retreat, Zhong Yu came out feeling that his body had made great progress.

The power, bounce, and speed have increased significantly, and the technique has improved.

Compared to before his retreat, Zhong Yu gained about 4 kilograms of bench press strength, about 5 centimeters of vertical jump, and about 0.4 seconds of 100-meter speed.

This is also quite an excellent result.

"Bang dang!" This time, Zhong Yu controlled the ball directly to the basket, then jumped high, and after gliding in the sky for a short while, he smashed the basketball directly into the basket!

This ball, when Zhong Yu runs with the ball, is quite fast, and when he jumps, he can feel as if he is gliding in the wind.

He felt that his dunks were becoming more and more casual, and he was able to play a trick or two once in a while.

Although a dunk can't represent too many things, this is an action that requires Zhong Yu's physical fitness very much, and it is a powerful assessment of all his physical affiliations.

And he's getting better and better.

"Very nice! You're making a lot of progress...... Now I believe that even in the NBA, as long as you find enough opportunities, then you want to dunk in a game, it shouldn't be a difficult thing. Leto saw Jongwook's dunk and commented on him.

"Well, thank you." After Zhong Yu spoke, he felt his body, and he could clearly feel the subtle progress.

However, he also has less time.

He will be returning home soon, and the national team is now calling him up.

As with all previous international competitions, pack your bags and Jongwook will be there where he needs to be. And this time, even more so, the Olympics are held at home, and his strength is skyrocketing now, if he doesn't go back to do a big job, it will be a pity.

On June 28, the day before the start of the 2008 NBA Draft, Chung Yu boarded a plane from Los Angeles to Shanghai, China.
