Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 47 Playing with your brain

After a slightly awkward start, Li Yan quickly got into the game, and this period was actually a refreshing one.

He had previously known very little about sports training and had seldom trained his cardiopulmonary function, which meant that he would improve these two skills quickly.

The improvement of these two skills will bring more scientific and correct sports cognition, and will improve the major skill of "physical strength" in directions other than muscles.

Since the all-around point-adding system is an interwoven web, this rapid improvement in skills will inevitably lead to some chain effects.

The system did give good feedback, and the activated "Sports Knowledge" skill reached 26 points at an astonishing speed, only after Li Yan carefully read the three related books sent by Lin Zhiyuan.

Logic: People's instinct to protect their bodies determines that there are almost no people with zero sports knowledge, but the proportion of people who actually understand the corresponding knowledge is very low, resulting in a very low average level of this skill. The score increases very quickly in the early stage, but the actual improvement is unknown.

The cardiopulmonary function is very encouraging. Li Yan went from being embarrassed when she had to ask Lin Zhiyuan to take her home on bicycle after school on the first day to running four times a day without slowing down on Friday. Her cardiopulmonary function improved by 6 points, successfully breaking through the average and reaching 32 points.

It seems that this average is not very high. Except for a small number of people who practice sports or have exercise habits, even young and middle-aged people may not be able to compare with students who run on the playground every day in terms of aerobic cardiopulmonary function.

This is also due to the adjustment of long-distance running posture and breathing rate - naturally derived from the guidance of books.

The improvement in cardiopulmonary function brought about a further improvement in physical strength, successfully reaching 15 points, which is in line with the average.

The improvement in sports knowledge actually added 3 points to the "sports" skill - it's a pity that it couldn't feed back into the badminton skills which had a higher score than this.

Li Yan, who was in the stage of improvement, was not happy enough because he was very pressed for time.

There will be a two-day audition elimination round in mid-April. Lin Zhiyuan has already signed up for Li Yan under the name of Teacher Ding. It was finally confirmed that there will be 32 contestants participating in the audition elimination round, and the top four will enter the Dongmen District Tournament.

The main competition of the Dongmen District Tournament will be held in late April, from the 25th to the 27th, Friday to Sunday, a total of three days.

In other words, Li Yan, who has been practicing for almost a week, will have to participate in the audition elimination round in about ten days.

The score for badminton skills remains at 37.

In the audition elimination round, considering that the score was 7 points above the average, there shouldn't be too much pressure.

But there has been no improvement after a week. How should I play in the regional finals?

So during the training session on Saturday, Li Yan proposed to have a serious fight with Coach Ding, who had only 70% of his strength.

"A serious game with 70% of the power?" Teacher Ding was a little confused. He didn't know how to accurately output 70% of the power.

No matter what, the difference in physical fitness is there, Coach Ding is tall and has long arms, and his deep understanding of pace and thorough knowledge of force have long been engraved in his bones. These are skills that cannot be hidden even if he lets others take advantage of him.

Therefore, the difference in ball speed still exists. Even if Coach Ding slows down and gives up attacking, he can easily turn passivity into initiative through mobilization.

We can't break through the enemy's defenses and we can't mobilize our troops, so there's no way to fight.

Li Yan became anxious and fought without any plan, which accelerated his defeat.

He wanted to accurately identify his weaknesses through this competition with high-level players.

But in the end, it was still that helpless reason - the body couldn't keep up.

The time for development has not yet arrived. I have done strength training, explosive power training, and long-distance running. These skills have reached the stage where the accumulation and improvement effects are not obvious. What else can I do?
"I can do all the moves and I know how to exert force, so why am I always passive?"

He suddenly realized that after the game, his physical strength was not exhausted. On the contrary, it was even a little bit abundant.

What was the reason that after a few rounds of stalemate, I was put on the passive side by Teacher Ding who did not attack at all?

"Li Yan," After knowing that Li Yan was going to participate in the competition, Teacher Ding was also very concerned, "Do you always feel that it is because my health is better than yours?"

Seeing through it, Li Yan smiled bitterly. "It's actually the brain."

Lin Zhiyuan made a funny expression: Coach Ding didn’t know who Li Yan was, but he actually wanted to say that his brain was better than Li Yan’s?
"The passivity and initiative of playing basketball are not only based on technique, strength and body," Coach Ding picked up a ball, shook his forearm, and the ball was pushed cleanly to the baseline.

"I didn't speed up, or even get a higher point, but I took fewer steps than you. Why do you think that is?"

Li Yan fell into deep thought, and answering without thinking "You have a good pace" was not his style.

"You predicted my ball path?"

"It should be said that I was the one guiding your ball path." Coach Ding picked up another ball, and with another shake of his forearm, the ball rolled gently over the net. It was a very beautiful little ball.

"You learn basketball really quickly. You mastered the essentials of the technical moves in no time. You are very talented. But when you play, you only return the ball mechanically. You don't try to make changes on your own."

Li Yan responded immediately: "I did look for you, didn't I? I took the initiative to find your backhand position, and I also used my peripheral vision to observe your position before receiving the ball to decide where to return the ball next time."

"This is a mechanical return." Teacher Ding's words stunned Li Yan, "You know how to play it, and I know it too. Then this kind of adjustment becomes basic training."

"But I'm not." Teacher Ding said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yan suddenly felt as if his brain was electrified and he became excited.

"You play too rhythmically, which is the same as having no rhythm." Coach Ding simply sat down and said, "You played the ball to the backcourt last time, and I returned to the midfield normally after receiving it. You did observe my position, and then you followed the most common idea of ​​​​hanging a diagonal ball in front of the net, or playing a backhand backcourt ball."

"Indeed." Li Yan was reviewing the situation quickly in his mind.

"But you didn't take care of your position, your body posture, your center of gravity after landing, your next shot connection, you didn't deduce."

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, but Li Yan's expression became more and more excited.

"Whether you're hitting the ball diagonally or backhand, I'm prepared. This is the most basic approach. I've practiced the steps and moves many times."

“So I want a change of pace?”

"You have to observe, observe the habits of your opponent, and observe where he feels uncomfortable. Once he is prepared for the uncomfortable parts, you can then hit him where he feels comfortable." Coach Ding said seriously.

"At this time, because he is guarding against an uncomfortable receiving position, he is actually no longer in his usual state, and a comfortable position will become uncomfortable?"

"By the way, you have a high level of understanding!" Coach Ding also became excited. "There are many similar tricks. For example, if a person receives a relatively passive ball in the backcourt, then the whole world knows that he has an open space in front of the net..."

“Then he will have a tendency to rush forward. Although he is in the backcourt, if I continue to press the backcourt, he will be trapped in a second start and become more passive.” Li Yan answered directly.

"That's right," Coach Ding nodded with satisfaction, "and in order to give him enough time to observe his sprint forward and let him complete the action, you can even deliberately not rush to the high point and wait for the ball."

Wait a minute, ball... Li Yan feels that his knowledge of badminton is improving rapidly.

"It also gave us time to react, so you can play so calmly without speeding up."

"Besides, if you only focus on getting the high point, you will limit your options for passing the ball." Coach Ding changed a few movements with his hands. "Getting the high point and then waiting for the ball is the core of the fake move..."

"It's not just a changing movement of the hands." Li Yan added.

"Bingo!" Coach Ding was so happy that he high-fived Li Yan. "Playing basketball is like playing chess. Your understanding is great, but it still depends on how you put it into practice on the court."

Ding!
Here it comes! After all this time, it turns out that I was just getting stuck in a dead end!
[Badminton +2, total 39]

Just like the Go board back then, the badminton court has also changed in Li Yan's eyes.
