Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 18 I am also a virgin
As we all know, there are three things you shouldn't do on the badminton court: Weird Old Deng, Kung Fu Panda, and Tong Zi Kung Fu.

The weird old Deng refers to an old man with unpredictable hands and rich experience on the court. He seems to have poor athletic ability and can't run or jump, but he can shake young people so hard that they can't move and even trick them into telling you their bank card password.

Kung Fu Panda refers to a group of flexible fat players who are slightly plump or even very fat. They don't seem to be good at sports, but their swing of the racket is so powerful and their hitting speed is so fast that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. They are the type who can hit you with just two steps, forcing you to run around to save the ball.

The most terrifying thing is the boy's kung fu.

In badminton, the technique of exerting force is much more important than the force itself. Physical fitness is important, but it is essentially a sport that relies on the brain. People who learned badminton as a child and practiced when their physical condition was insufficient were forced to learn the correct way to exert force - because if the force is not exerted correctly, the ball cannot be hit at all.

Including the correct footwork and organization of the ball path, these will be deeply imprinted in their brains when they begin to understand the sport of badminton.

Even if you don't continue to learn or play basketball, or even don't look like you're exercising much, the solid foundation you've laid will still unleash amazing energy.

Badminton enthusiasts who are not born with the skills, especially those who started playing after high school, have enough physical strength. In many cases, they can use their strength to push back when the force is not applied correctly. Therefore, their tactics can be summed up in one sentence:

Vigorously miracle.

So when a seemingly strong young man who often plays ball to exercise his body asks his friend with whom he "played for a while when he was a child" to compete with him, he can feel the fear of being dominated by the skills of a boy.

The three words "Tongzigong" have therefore become a symbol of strength.

Standing on the badminton court on Saturday morning, Lin Zhiyuan, fully armed, was proud of this:
"Li Yan, I have been learning for a year and I have mastered the skills. I will go all out later. Don't blame me for showing no mercy."

"Let me confirm. Each game is 15 points, and it's a best-of-three game, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid you don't have enough stamina for 21 points."

"The venue fee will be paid by Master Lin?"

"Yes, yes, you have paid for the training, and I will provide the venue."

"80 for one class?"

"Yes... No, are you scared, Yan? If you don't have any pocket money, I can help you out. I'm going to take private lessons anyway, so it's good to have you as an extra. I'll have someone to practice with."

Li Yan covered her face and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, I really will feel guilty if you do this."

The game started with a quick 5:0, and Li Yan didn't win a single goal.

What's going on? He looked at Lin Zhiyuan, whose expression was still serious and not at all proud, and even felt a little strange.

Is there ever a day when “I wasn’t serious enough last time” is not an excuse?
One can clearly feel the difference of the fat boy. He abandoned his usual but immature fake moves and just focused on passive transition and ball organization, completely confusing Li Yan.

"That's great," Li Yan smiled, "I just need something new like this."

He tried to catch the ball path that Xiaopang was used to, but found that Xiaopang countered his prediction.

"10:1," Lin Zhiyuan's serious expression finally relaxed, "I was really doing this for your own good, Brother Yan."

"It's okay." Li Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air, with a gleam in his eyes, "Very good, go all out!"

In the end, we lost the first game with a huge score of 3:15.

"Second game, are you feeling okay?" Lin Zhiyuan changed the venue and replaced the ball.

"Wait a moment."

Li Yan was analyzing the reasons for the loss and quickly concluded a few points:
First, I was impatient and wanted to attack, but with the physique of a primary school student of 162cm, I simply did not have the ability to decide the outcome with a single smash; second, Lin Zhiyuan did not force the aggressiveness of every ball, and chose to transition on many balls that were difficult to return, focusing on lobs, which was indeed the most suitable style of play for their physical conditions; third, I had been following passively and did not take the initiative to pull Lin Zhiyuan's position.

He quickly adjusted his mindset, thinking that one game didn't mean anything and that the opportunities lay in the next one.

Lin Zhiyuan's ball speed is not much faster than mine, and his badminton score is at least 28. My body has not yet fully developed, so it is not bad for me to have an ability close to the average level.

We have the confidence, the patience, the tactics, and our abilities are no worse than others, so what is there to be afraid of?
Ding!
[Badminton +1, total 29]

This is what I want!

Logical analysis: The gains from the last game mainly come from tactical analysis and mentality. It seems that badminton, as a fourth-level skill, can no longer be subdivided into items. Therefore, whether it is the improvement of movement technology, tactical analysis, or even the improvement of competition mentality, it can add points to badminton skills.

This ability to analyze things instantly is so cool. It makes my brain feel smooth and comfortable, just like it has been combed through.

"What are you grinning for? Can you open the second one?"

"open!"

This time it was Lin Zhiyuan's turn to be confused. In the previous round, Li Yan was still rashly pursuing the attack, making mistakes and losing position. This time, it was like a change of temperament, and started to play with him. In the previous round, each ball was only three or four shots, but this time, it was two long rounds of more than ten shots.

The score slowly came to 4:3. Although they were leading by one goal, Lin Zhiyuan, who had the ball, was breathing heavily and lost control of the ball at the moment of kick-off, giving away a point for nothing.

"Something's wrong...why am I so tired?"

The fat boy started to have difficulty breathing again. Only then did he realize that Li Yan not only followed his rhythm and started to pull, but also took the initiative to mobilize him!
A flame of pride burned in Lin Zhiyuan's chest, "I have practiced Tongzi Kungfu for a year!"

The score was 14:13, with Lin Zhiyuan leading by one point.

At this time, he was so tired that his breathing was uneven and beads of sweat were oozing out. He held the ball for a long time but couldn't pass it out.

Li Yan wasn't much better. He was also panting heavily. He had to take so many photos in a short period of time, so it took some effort to get his breathing right.

Is the limit of physical strength approaching? This is what Li Yan learned from a book:

"Soon after starting exercise of a certain intensity and duration, the human body experiences shortness of breath, chest tightness, slow movements, decreased coordination, low spirits, a sudden decrease in the desire to exercise, and even nausea. This physiological phenomenon is called 'peak'."

What you learn from books is always superficial.

As Li Yan's movements became distorted, the ball went high and out of the sideline. Lin Zhiyuan successfully won the game. He decisively dropped his racket and lay on the ground, saying "Finally I won, I won" repeatedly. He was indeed very tired.

Li Yan had indeed reached the limit of his physical strength, and what he was looking forward to was the "second breath" that would follow.

The reason for the extreme physical strength is the inertia of the internal organs. The continuous high-intensity consumption of the exercise organs causes the internal organs to fail to keep up. However, when the physical strength reaches the extreme and the exercise intensity decreases, the organs gradually catch up and you can get a "second breath."

This is the key to being able to run farther and farther in long-distance running, and in essence, it is also the key to increasing your physical strength.

Ding!
[Cardiopulmonary function +1, total 22]

Only 22? How many more times do I have to breathe like this to improve...

He supported himself on the ground and continued squatting to adjust his breathing. The most difficult moment passed in an instant, and he stood up and walked slowly again.

Lin Zhiyuan panted for a long time before he realized that Li Yan had already started to lift her legs. He was stunned:

"How did you recover so quickly?"

"Have you heard of 'second breath'? Just get through it, and you'll recover quickly."

Li Yan even started jumping on the spot. Of course, he couldn't tell the real reason.

【肌肉耐力+1，总数24；爆发力+1，总数25；身体协调性+1，总数26】

[Overall improvement, physical strength +1, total 13]

Lin Zhiyuan looked at his deskmate who had regained his energy in disbelief. "How come you were able to play like this against me in the last game?"

"Uh... I also have Tongzi Gong."

“You only studied for one month!”

"Just tell me whether you learned it or not?"

The child's body recovered very quickly. Lin Zhiyuan lay on the ground and evened out his breathing. When he stood up, he looked completely normal.

Li Yan handed over a bottle of sports drink.

"Oh, that's rare, Yan. I was just thinking that I forgot to prepare some drinks today, I have to go buy some."

"I told my mom that I was going to play basketball, so I should have money for court fees and water fees." Li Yan took a sip of water, "You pay for the training anyway."

"You're still so arrogant after losing?"

"Rest well first, or you won't have enough energy for the coach's class later. There's still a game after practice, so you have to hold on. Today's training fee is destined to be split between us."

This time the fat boy didn't refute anything, but just drank his drink silently. He actually felt that Li Yan was not joking.

　I wish all my book friends a happy New Year’s Eve, good health to your family, all your wishes come true, and all the best!
　　I will continue to update during the New Year, and I hope you will support me!
