From sparring to superstar

Chapter 7 6. Unexpected Approval

Feeling being targeted again, Li Ao has nothing to do.

Who let him cook?
Turn grief into motivation!

Sam Hayes, the team's other technical director, has learned from Xavier Johnson how much the head coach 'prefers' the newcomer.

He didn't say much, and went straight to work, guiding Li Ao to warm up, helping Li Ao to move his muscles and joints, and then immediately started training.

Yesterday's shooting training, Li Ao felt that it was boring enough.

But now, he felt that yesterday's training was too happy, and the training of basic defensive footwork was the real torture!
And the attitude of the assistant coaches is very different. Xavier Johnson is enthusiastic and talkative.

The teaching assistant in front of him is much colder and speaks directly.

"It's not right here, try again."

"You have to exert strength at the waist at the same time! No, start over!"

"Here, you need to use the force similar to the back and forth running, start instantly, turn back! Turn back! You have to start quickly, pay attention to the strength of the back! No, start again!"

"……Again!"

"……Again!"

When I didn't practice well yesterday, I got encouragement, but today I received criticism and negation sentence after sentence, which made Li Ao feel very frustrated.

However, noticing the head coach who was watching the good show, Li Ao gritted his teeth and persisted. In the end, his footsteps were numb and he just followed his instinct.

Finally, at 11:[-], Sam Hayes said: "Today's training is here."

After Sam Hayes left, Li Ao slumped on the floor. Now he feels that Xavier Johnson is really a warm old man!
More than two hours!At least 90% of the time is spent practicing, one set of 3 minutes of foot training, and the rest time after each set of foot training is stuck at 30 seconds. Minutes of rest time, the rest of the time has been practicing.

This teaching assistant is like a robot!

Don't get emotional!

Li Ao can only use the 50 achievement points he just got for comfort.

"Training mode: The team arranges training.

Training content: basic skills of defensive movement.

Completion status: overfulfilled the training arrangement of the coaching staff.

Training Rating: Poor.

Congratulations to the host for getting the training reward: 50 achievement points.

Because the host's training performance has not reached the qualified level, the physiotherapy function of the body cannot be used. "

Another bad review, he wants to experience the physiotherapy function of the body!

At this time someone walked up to him. I thought it was Brown, but the outstretched arm was much thicker.

Li Ao looked up, saw who it was, stretched out his hand to stand up, and said, "Thank you, Jeff."

Trepagnier said: "It's okay, Leo, don't be dissatisfied with Sam, his personality is just like that, in fact, he is nice, serious in his work, and very professional."

Li Ao responded, "I understand."

It's okay not to mention this assistant coach, but he still feels uncomfortable if he mentions it, but he also feels that Sam Hayes didn't particularly target him.

It's just that it's the same bad review, but when it comes to Sam Hayes, he's even more unhappy. He wants to prove something now, and he's more motivated to train.

Trepagnier saw Li Ao's emotions, did not continue the topic, and asked, "Go to lunch together?"

"No," Li Ao scratched the chest of the jersey, sweating, and said, "I want to take a shower first, I can't stand the smell of myself."

Small cleanliness is contagious. Trepagnier touched his also soaked jersey and said, "Then I will take a shower first."

Li Ao nodded, and went to the locker room with Trepagnier.

When passing through the long and narrow gymnasium, Trepagnier complained: "I don't know what the designer of this stadium thinks. Even if it is a new area, the design is too chaotic."

When it came to Li Ao's heart, he continued to complain: "I guess I got a kickback, or else this designer helped block a bullet for the owner of this arena."

Trepagnier was very happy to be recognized: "That's right, I thought the same way. With a little design common sense, I wouldn't make this stadium so messy. I get lost every time I come here."

"Oh? Jeff, you studied architectural design?"

"That's right, my dream is to build a building with my iconic color! Just like the iconic buildings of a country like the Twin Towers in New York."

"Uh..." Li Ao thought about what to use as a metaphor, but he still encouraged: "Dreams are always necessary, what if they come true?"

Li Ao is good at chatting, and Trepagnier is also very talkative. The two were still chatting while taking a shower, and they quickly became acquainted.

Jeff Trepagnier, a teammate, was one of Li Ao's better impressions when he got to know his teammates through information before entering the team.

Bai Mamba did not enter the top [-] high school students in the United States in high school, and now he has become a well-known star in college basketball, which can be regarded as a counterattack.

Trey Pagnier is a model of counterattack. There was no such person in high school. In the freshman season, he took the initiative to participate in the trial training and entered the basketball club. In the second half of the freshman season, he seized the opportunity and played a few good performances. In the sophomore season last season, he seized the opportunity of the previous generation's starter to graduate and secured the position of the starting shooting guard. His physical fitness is average, and his running and jumping ability is not good, but his body is very strong. With a height of 193 cm, he has comprehensive skills and Excellent, now it is the first scoring point of the team's back line.

Li Ao's bathing is more meticulous, even if he takes a shower, he must wash it clean, rinse off the sweat even after taking a shower. Trepagnell teased Li Ao and went out first.

When Li Ao finished washing, dried and changed his clothes and went out, he saw Trepagnier chatting with Sam Clancy, who seemed to be talking about topics related to him, so he subconsciously stopped opening the door.

"Jeff, why did you hang out with that guy, he's not a good guy."

"Sam, Brian has already told you, you can't judge a guy so casually, I think he's pretty good, did you see how hard he trained yesterday and today? I admire him for that. "

"What's the use of working hard? It's useless for someone like him who is not well-known in high school."

When Sam Clancy said this, Trepagnier was displeased and remained silent for several seconds.

At this moment, Li Ao opened the door and came out. Nine-door admiral squinted at Sam Clancy and said, "The high school genius who served as a substitute for Little Lambert."

Ignoring Sam Clancy, whose head was swollen red, Li Ao said to Trepagnier, "Let's go to lunch, I'm starving to death."

Trepagnier nodded, ignored Sam Clancy, and left with Li Ao.

Sam Clancy tried to go up for a fight, and he got poked in the sore spot.

But he dared not, as he did in the face of Shelby Jordan's humiliation.

Although the bad reputation brought Li Ao a lot of trouble, it also brought him an advantage—most people who knew him would not dare to mess with him.

...

After lunch, Li Ao went home paralyzed.

Originally, he tried his best to practice continuously in the morning and afternoon, but after the lunch break, he felt that he was useless.

My whole body is sore!
He decisively chose to play Contra on the sofa.

The next morning, he called the Browns basketball office, asking if Brown could practice today.

Although he is still half useless, he is young and much better than yesterday. He thinks he can practice shooting.

But it was Henry Bibby who answered the phone. Hearing him ask about the training, Henry Bibby said straight away: "Do you want to die? Are you kidding me? If you want to die, just lie on the bed."

Before Li Ao could reply, Henry Bibby hung up the phone, and when he called again, he was cut off. Li Ao was incompetent and furious in the living room for a long time.

Near noon, Vivienne knocked on the door and asked Li Ao to go to her room. She thought she would have lunch, but...

"It hurts..."

"Slower……"

"Oh ho ho ho ho..."

"Broken, the arm is going to be broken..."

"Wait...wait a minute..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing Li Ao's call, Vivian considered adding soundproofing to the room.

If this is heard by the neighbor next door, how can it be explained clearly?Fortunately, today is the weekend, and the neighbors next door went out early in the morning.

After an entire hour of tossing, Li Ao was completely useless, lying on the massage table without moving his fingers.

Vivian said to the physical therapist who was packing up all kinds of massage equipment: "Thank you, Jack."

The muscular man called Jack smiled and said: "Call me whenever you need it. The boss said that your needs come first. By the way, let this child get up and move more. He can't lie down after exercising, he will be stressed." To the active muscles, affect the effect of exercise."

"Help me say thank you to your boss..."

Sending off the physical therapist, Vivian came to the massage table, poked the muddy Li Ao, and said, "Remember to tell me after the next training session, I will call Jack to give you physical therapy, he is the star physical therapist of Wright Rehabilitation Center, The technique is very good.

I thought you were just going to the basketball team to have fun, but I didn't expect you to come here for real. You trained so hard that even Henry said you made him look up to him. "

"Come again?" Li Ao jumped up directly: "Farewell, Aunt Vivienne, I am still young, I think I can do without physical therapy! It hurts too much, I am afraid of pain."

"Are you kidding? Their company won't refund the money. I spent all the money I bought on new shoes. You tell me that you don't want physical therapy because of the pain? It's okay if you don't do it. You pay me a pair of shoes!"

"I like physical therapy so much, I will do it! I am so grateful to Auntie Vivienne for hiring such an excellent physical therapist for me."

Vivian nodded in satisfaction: "Then get up and make lunch, I'm hungry, and I've already ordered the food to be delivered."

"I train so hard, and I still have to cook?"

"The physical therapist told you not to be paralyzed, but to exercise moderately, and I spent so much money, you have to give me some compensation, right? Dinner is also handed over to you."

"..."
