Chapter 208 Tour de France (4) Max Team's Outburst

"Manager, are you feeling better?"

Listening to the assistant's caring words, Loren Hansen only slightly raised his eyelids, obviously still quite weak.

He tried to move his body, but found that he could not do it. In the end, he just opened his lips and did not speak.

The assistant held the tablet and continued:

"I will report to you what happened in the past few days. First, the management of the team and then the situation of the Tour de France today. Leon of the Max Team won the first stage and won the yellow jersey, green jersey and white jersey at the same time."

When the assistant said this, his voice subconsciously became smaller. However, reporting the latest news to the manager every day is his job. Leon's victory is the most explosive news in the cycling circle, so it is naturally unlikely to be skipped.

"Manager, manager, are you okay?"

"Doctor! Doctor!"

Loren Hansen successfully fell into a coma again on the first day after waking up.

Although the amount of riding on this day is not too much compared to their usual training, the physical strength consumed in the competition is completely different from that consumed in normal times.

Therefore, after the first day of the competition, almost all the riders started their post-race recovery.

There are many ways to do this, such as ice compress, massage, diet therapy, electric shock, etc.

"Hero, you are finally here. Lie down quickly. The sports masseur will be here soon. You will be the first one to be massaged."

As soon as Li Ang came over, Leif waved at him enthusiastically.

Everyone looked at Li Ang with respect and gratitude. Although their results were still the same, the people in their team won the stage championship. As teammates, they definitely had a full sense of collective honor.

And every main general's victory is actually inseparable from the assistance of other teammates, of course, except for Li Ang who flies alone.

However, Li Ang did not come here to let others massage him this time, but still wanted to improve his [massage] proficiency.

Similarly, the recovery ability enhancement feature of his master-level [Massage] can also allow these teammates to perform better and have more lasting physical strength in tomorrow's game.

In his heart, he still hopes to lead these teammates to get a team honor.

"You don't need to ask the sports rehabilitator to come."

After Li Ang said that he would help them with recovery massage, everyone's first reaction was surprise, and then confusion.

The captain of the team was the first to joke:

"We can't afford it. Logically speaking, we should give you a massage together."

"That's right, whether our bodies recover or not, it's just that level. Your body is the most important. Don't tire yourself out."

Although everyone was speaking with high emotional intelligence, Li Ang was still very clear that everyone didn't know enough about his massage level.

If Moira was there, she would definitely stand up and give Li Ang a good review at the first time. Who knows what kind of magic Li Ang's hands have, enough to make her feel like she was in heaven.

The method of proof was also very simple. Leon came directly to Patrice's side and put his hands on his shoulders.

The next second, his body fell comfortably on the bed.

Patrice had almost no strength to walk after riding nearly 200 kilometers today. It was not until after dinner that he recovered a little.

Although he knew that he had no hope of getting results, he still tried his best in his first Tour de France.

This also made him particularly exhausted today. He estimated that even if he rested until tomorrow, he would be thankful if he could recover to 90% of his condition.

However, when Leon began to massage him, he realized that his massage for so many years before was in vain. In just less than ten minutes, he felt as comfortable as if he had a good sleep.

"No, is it really that exaggerated?"

Several teammates next to him looked at Patrice's exaggerated appearance, and such questions flashed in their minds at the same time.

Li Ang came to massage them this time not to solve their old problems, but just to help them relieve the most serious parts of their sports injuries today, and to give them a buff to enhance their recovery ability, so the overall process was very simple, and one person was done in less than ten minutes.

After learning about the bodies of others, Li Ang also found that although they all said that they participated in the Tour de France just to gain experience and come here to play, in fact, their physical conditions were worse than one another, and they were all symptoms of excessive physical exhaustion.

Obviously, they said casually, but their bodies were honestly trying their best.

If he didn't come to give them physical therapy today, I'm afraid that many people might not be able to complete this competition that lasted more than 20 days.

And when they experienced Li Ang's massage techniques themselves, they realized that Patrice's previous state was not exaggerated at all, and it could even be said that he was a little restrained.

After Li Ang treated them one by one, almost everyone quickly fell asleep because of the comfort after excessive fatigue.

After the recovery effect was improved, basically one night could restore their physical condition.

When all the team members woke up the next morning, they were shocked. They found that their bodies did not have the soreness they imagined caused by overexertion, but more like the first day they came to the competition. The state is even better.

They all looked at Li Ang with eyes full of surprise, and finally understood why Li Ang could progress so quickly and become so physically strong.

In this way, his strong performances on the field have been explained to a certain extent.

Li Ang has naturally been prepared for everyone's reaction. This kind of buff that increases his recovery ability may not be paid too much attention to ordinary people, but for these professional athletes, any subtle changes in the body They can generally feel changes in status.

Therefore, they will inevitably have doubts about the magical effects that have happened to them. Even if they don't ask about it, they will keep it in their hearts.

"Don't be too happy too early. This massage technique is passed down from my family. Although it can improve your sports performance to a certain extent, it is essentially a method to stimulate your potential. Therefore, after the effect is over, you Your physical condition will become worse than usual.”

Li Ang explained to everyone solemnly.

The reason why he made up such a reason is that he does not want everyone to rely too much on his massage, and even regard this massage as a kind of magical magic. The principle of equal exchange is in line with everyone's usual understanding.

And what he said is indeed true to a certain extent, because when the buff that enhances the recovery ability disappears and the body returns to its normal state, the human body will indeed be uncomfortable for a long time.

For example, it's like the Monday after a long vacation. Although it is just an ordinary working day, I feel that my condition on this day is particularly bad and difficult.

After listening to Li Ang's explanation, everyone nodded, thinking thoughtfully, knowing that there is no such good thing, otherwise they would not be invincible in sports.

Only the captain seemed to think of something again and asked:

"How long will this effect last? If the effect ends, won't our performance in subsequent games be even worse?"

Li Ang replied:

"Generally speaking, the effect lasts for a whole day, and the result after it is over will be the same as what you said. However, I naturally thought of this problem at the beginning, so I will continue this effect for you every day. Until the end of the game, but after the game, the sequelae will be very violent, you have to be mentally prepared.”

"And because you have used it too many times this time, your body may not be able to support any further use."

The reason why Li Ang wants to apply a patch is because he is afraid that they will become dependent on him in the future and want to cheat him whenever there is a game.

"Ah? Is there still such an operation?"

Patrice's mouth dropped open.

As long as the state improves quickly enough, side effects will never appear? There seems to be no problem.

"What are you afraid of? As long as the game is over, it won't be a problem to be paralyzed for a few days."

"Yes, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to participate in the Tour de France again in the future. Let's make the most of this time first."

Everyone nodded unanimously and agreed with Li Ang's statement.

Just as everyone was about to go out, the captain stopped everyone again.

"Everyone remember, don't mention this matter to anyone, not even coaches and managers. You are all professional athletes and should know the stakes."

The captain didn't say much, but everyone knew that this method was somewhat cheating, but currently it was not classified as cheating at all.

As for sportsmanship? Just mention it when asking others. If you really have the opportunity to cheat, you will be more active than anyone else.

What's more, in this kind of competitive sports, in order to improve one's performance, there are many endless methods.

Among professional athletes, I don’t know how many people say that they have chronic diseases and need to take medicine for a long time.

With the same effect, if it is included in the list of stimulants, it is a contraband, and if it is not included, it is a common drug.

The only thing that stops them from cheating is punishment, never sportsmanship.

If we really want to pay attention to sportsmanship, Li Ang himself should not participate in any competitions. He himself is the biggest cheat.

When he came to the stadium, the high spirit of his team members also made Orsad extremely excited. It can be seen that everyone has sufficient fighting spirit. Yesterday's hard work did not seem to have any impact on them.

In today's competition, the player who received the most attention, needless to say, was naturally the winner of yesterday's stage and the player wearing three shirts, Li Ang.

Today's schedule is shorter than yesterday, but the difficulty will increase because today has reached the mountain stage.

Although Li Ang performed exceptionally well yesterday, most of the audience today was not very optimistic about his performance.

One is that his amazing performance yesterday must have consumed a lot of energy, and I'm afraid he hasn't recovered yet today.

Second, today’s stage is a mountain stage, and there are too few athletes who are good at both flat sprints and mountain climbing. Everyone is also speculating whether Li Ang will be like most sprinters today and follow the team to save money. Stay strong and get through today's game smoothly.

At the beginning of the game, Li Ang did the same thing as yesterday and started to break through.

The commentator also noticed Li Ang's movements for the first time and immediately said:

"It seems that our player Li Ang did not give up strategically for today's stage. Could it be that he wants to repeat yesterday's feat and continue to complete today's mountain stage solo?"

"Or is this just a tactic of their team, and he just broke through briefly to break the rhythm of other main players?"

"We don't know what player Li Ang is thinking. We can only continue to watch the next game and find the answer ourselves."

Regarding Li Ang's breakthrough, the main force still did not make too many obstacles, and there was no way to stop him. After all, it was impossible to guard him from breaking through alone for the whole game, right?

This is not realistic. Just because Li Ang won a stage championship, we cannot think that he is everyone's opponent. Everyone has their own competitors. If all the energy is focused on Li Ang, then the main players of other teams will break through. , who will handle it?

The second reason is that they still feel that there is no need to stop. The earlier they fly solo, the more energy they will consume. Today is a mountain stage, and there are really some players who cannot reach the finish line due to lack of physical strength, so they don’t I think Li Ang can still replicate yesterday's performance.

A few minutes later, when the distance between Li Ang became further and further, everyone finally confirmed that Li Ang had great ambitions. He did not want to let go even in the mountain stage. His goal may really be to win all the honorary jerseys. Get them all.

The mountain stage is a kind of torture for most athletes, even those who are good at climbing.

The resistance on the uphill section is almost doubled compared to that on the flat road.

As for the downhill section, although it is easier, there is still a risk of crashing if the control is not good. Once the injury is serious, you will basically say goodbye to the competition.

"Today is the second stage, and most of our players are still in good condition. The speed of several main players seems to be faster than in previous years, and the speed is also increased earlier. It seems that the appearance of player Li Ang has indeed given them a boost. It has brought a lot of pressure, and some players have temporarily fallen behind.”

"Let me cut the camera to the front and see Li Ang's performance on the slope."

Just after passing the first uphill section, Li Ang was already leading the group by more than 400 meters. In order to improve the overall performance of the team, Li Ang also slightly relaxed some restrictions on his own strength.

"The performance of Li Ang really exceeded all of our expectations. It seems that he is not only good at sprinting on flat roads, but also performs exceptionally well on climbs. He is definitely an all-around athlete."

While everyone was focusing their attention on the main players in front, the members of the Max Racing team in the middle and rear finally discovered something was wrong with themselves.

"How is it possible? Why don't I feel tired after climbing uphill?"

Patrice was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Looking at the other players in the team, they were all slowly moving forward from their original position at the end of the crane.

Only then did he realize that the value of Li Ang's operation yesterday was still rising.

In this kind of mountainous stage, the most competitive thing is physical strength, and the members of the Max Team have increased their physical recovery speed by 60%. This has allowed them to rise directly from the weakest among all the players to the strongest. A strong first-tier team.

Soon, the commentators and spectators on the field also noticed the extraordinary performance of Max Racing Team.

"I remember wasn't this team the first to participate in the Tour de France? It looks like it's not weak at all!"

"That's right, I feel like those two at the end of the WorldTour team might be overtaken by them."

"It's too early to talk about this now. People haven't made any efforts yet."

"But judging from their current performance, they all have pretty good climbing abilities."

This was also the first time that the spectators noticed the Max Racing Team not because of Li Ang's influence.

The camera continued to move to Li Ang. At this time, he had already started charging up the slope.

"Li Ang's speed is still accelerating! From 80 kilometers per hour to 90, his legs are still exerting force. Is he going to ride at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour in this section?"

"101 kilometers per hour! Li Ang became the first driver to break 100 kilometers per hour."

The commentator shouted loudly, bringing a small climax to the audience.

You must know that this is not a big downhill, and even the road is not completely straight. In the past, when passing through this section, the speed of most riders would only maintain around 80, and the fastest in previous years The driver is only just over ninety.

So far, Li Ang is the first player with a speed exceeding 100 in this section of the road.

The reason why other players did not reach such a speed is first of all because if the speed is faster, it is indeed more difficult to control and the risk will be very high. Another reason is that the downhill here does not last a long distance. Even if you risk losing your speed, When it comes to 100, the performance improvement is quite limited. Overall, the price/performance ratio is very low.

"Is this the adventurous spirit of Li Ang? Although we do not advocate such dangerous behavior, I personally admire it."

As a racing sport, if you want to pursue the ultimate speed, it is naturally impossible to be without risks. Super performance can certainly attract the audience, but the fearless adventurous spirit can also impress the audience.

As the distance between Li Ang and the group behind him widened, many spectators also reacted.

"It seems that our estimates were all wrong. Li Ang's best skill does not seem to be sprinting. Perhaps his talent and strength are even stronger in climbing!"
