John turned to look at Land Ke, frowning, trying to argue, but after Lu Ke’s frank and sincere gaze, he was defeated after all, but he said annoyed and depressed, crazy.”
“Yes, you said I was crazy.” Lu Ke walked over holding a rugby. “I’m crazy. A yellow-skinned Chinese kid dreams of making a name on a rugby field dominated by whites and blacks. No; I ’m crazy, I ’m being thrown around like a sandbag every day, but I still go all out, just hoping not to live up to my dreams; I ’m crazy for seven years, and I have persisted for seven years. Come here, but still just a sparring ……
I am indeed crazy. I am now studying at one of the best universities in the United States, and my grades are very good. You know, the Chinese are much smarter than you guys who do n’t learn and ca n’t learn. It’s not difficult, I can find a very good job after graduation, but I gave up the internship opportunity of the “Los Angeles Times”, here willingly as a sparring.
So, you have to say that I am a lunatic, I admit it.
But, deep down, have you given up? Are you not like me, dreaming of being able to enter this field? Do n’t you devote all your youth to rugby? Are you willing to end like this? If it is, then just treat me as if I did n’t say anything, as if I were a lunatic. “
Having finished speaking, Lu Ke ignored John and turned to walk towards the stadium. The basic training equipment had not yet been taken away. Anthony was greeting the members of the training team and the bench team to clean up. Lu Ke said, “Anthony, I will stay and pack up all these equipments. I want to train again.”
Anthony was stunned. “These?” The equipment in front of them are all equipment for special skill training. There is no need to participate in training with the sparring. “you sure?”
Lu Ke nodded seriously, “Yes, if it would not violate the team rules.”
“It wouldn’t be …” Anthony remembered Lu Ke’s stunning biography yesterday, before the next words had time to speak, the sparring team members who were cleaning up the machinery next to them laughed, “It’s really a neuropathy, a sparring person is still here With more training, people who do n’t know think it is the school ’s main quarterback. “
“Even if you practice more, you can’t do it if you don’t. You never heard that Asians can play rugby. It’s so funny. That little body will fly away after a random collision. Hahahaha.”
Seven or eight people laughed together, Lu Ke was preparing to fight back, but Anthony took the lead, “Shut up!”
As a coach assistant, although the supervision is trivial, in the university coaching team, the entire coaching team has only three members, the head coach, the offense coach, the defensive coach. In addition to these three, Anthony is the most Authoritative, everyone closed his mouth under his scolding.
“Even if you don’t train well, if someone else trains, what else do you have to talk about? Or, do you plan to stay and train together? Run a 10,000 meters, 20,000 meters?” Anthony sternly screamed, let those training team members They all looked away and muttered unconvinced vaguely, but in the end no words were formed.
Anthony didn’t care about these people any more. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and expressed his affirmation, “After the machinery is used up, you go to the security room and call them, they will come out and help together.” The stadium needs daily maintenance and needs care. , So it is equipped with a team of four people, responsible for cleaning the court, tidying up the court, and being on duty here at night to guard the court.
After a pause, Anthony saw John who came over later, “John, are you also together?”
John twisted his head uncomfortably, touched his head, and closed his jaw invisibly, without answering, but his footsteps still stopped not far behind Lu Ke.
“Come on! Don’t be too reluctant. If you get hurt, you’ll be outweighed.” Anthony said with concern, then turned and left.
The remaining members of the sparring group looked at Lu Ke and John, murmured, and then yelled, “John, are you sure? You look like you are losing your mind now. Would you like to go together? Go to the bar for a beer? “
John scratched his head, his eyes never making direct contact with those people. As a sparring partner for two years, all the dreams and pride in his heart have disappeared, and he dare not look at it again. “Well, help a little.” John nodded and pointed to Lu Ke. “Lu needs a little help.”
“Okay, this is your choice.” Others didn’t say much. There was no direct competition in the sparring group, no direct interests, and naturally there was no direct conflict. It is nothing more than occasional complaining and vomiting. After they finished, they left the venue happily and haphazardly discussing the schedule of the event tonight.
After glancing away from the sight, and confirming that everyone else had left the field, John raised his head and looked at Lu Ke next to him.
“Let’s start by throwing the ball on one knee, how about it?” Lu Ke took out a football from the cart and habitually tossed between the two hands. For ball sports, exercise both hands The sense of the ball is very important, and there is no shortcut, only insisting on touching and catching the ball for many years, this is the only way.
Turning around, Lu Ke saw John’s stunned face, “Throw a ball on one knee? You … really a neuropathy.” This is the warm-up exercise of the quarterback. The main purpose is to exercise the quarterback. In the case of using the strength of the lower extremities, familiar with the use of the strength of the waist and abdomen and the strength of the arm to complete the toss and correct the power habits of the quarterback.
Lu Ke didn’t have any explanation, but summoned the system in his mind, began to play a demonstration video of kneeling on one knee, and then kneeled on the ground in a cuddly manner, but found that John was still standing. He gestured with his eyes, “Aren’t you going to join me? I’m ready.”
Looking at Land Ke’s serious expression, John smiled silently, shook his head gently, and then just across from Lu Ke, kneeling down on one knee, Lu Ke moved his arms, and then tossed the football. John took it. The warm-up exercise was really simple and familiar to him. John threw the football back.
When the two people came and went, John gradually found his hand and reawakened the memories of his previous high school. He could n’t help but pat his shoulder, “You need to push it out here, and feel the whole force push from bottom to top “” Even with it, John also demonstrated it, flapping his muscles and guiding Lu Ke’s movement details.
I have to admit that Lu Ke is a fast learner. He is willing to learn, ask, and amend. At the same time, he quickly mastered the know-how, and the training immediately turned into water. Five sets of training, each set of 20 throws, two people discussing, correcting, and practicing while taking a little longer, but the effect is not bad.
Then one-arm fast throws, then running at a constant speed, then the quarterback’s footwork practice.
Unknowingly, an hour passed in a blink of an eye, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and John breathed out a long breath. He hadn’t felt this for a long time. It seemed that he hadn’t been there since he entered university.
Looking at Lu Ke, who is still devoted to studying footsteps, John couldn’t help but stop. “Lu Ke, do you really want to be a quarterback?” Even if he only asked this question, John felt stupid. , A Chinese, a sparring player, actually wanted to become a quarterback, this should be the most funny joke he ever heard. So John waved his hand and said mockingly, “Forget it, you don’t need to answer.”
“Really.” Lu Ke’s answer made John stunned, and looked at the past dumbly. Lu Ke nodded again seriously. “Really, I want to be a quarterback. This summer’s” Pirate Space ” , Did you watch it? The movie said: Since dreaming, then make it bigger. “Lu Ke saw John’s unbelievable look and couldn’t help laughing.” Why, don’t you believe it? “
John shook his head and denied it.
Lu Ke didn’t make any more excuses, but asked, “If you can choose, which position would you like to play?”
“Take wide receiver.” John did not hesitate, almost blurted out. The so-called wide receiver is the player who is responsible for receiving the ball during the offensive pass. The difference between them and the near end is that the responsibility is relatively simple. Attack, attack, and then attack.
“So let’s try it out. Maybe, you can be an excellent wide receiver?” Lu Ke stepped aside and stood on the starting line of the forty yard return run. “Forty yards back to run?”
John didn’t know, so he just watched Lander and smiled dumbly. After giving up excuses and arguments, he walked over and stood side by side with Lu Ke. He made a good starting posture. When Lu Ke’s password came, the two ran out at the same time.
The so-called forty-yard foldback run is actually the basic training for wide receivers. It is not as simple as running back and forth between forty yards, but with a starting line, running forward for ten yards and then returning; then running forward for twenty yards , And then return; run thirty yards further, then return. This kind of training for turning back and running has excellent training effect on rapid turn and emergency stop, and the explosive power and sprint ability within short yardage are all severe tests.
Seemingly simple, but extremely difficult. In addition to wide receivers, other offensive or defensive members will also be trained, including quarterbacks.
Among the basic qualities of Lu Ke, the speed is 65 points, the acceleration is 61 points, the agility is 70 points. The ability to return in a short distance and a small range, but gave him the ability to flexibly evade the quarterback in the protection pocket, to avoid the grapple and sack of the opposing defender; but his strength and muscles are not strong enough, can Dodge, but the confrontation is still too weak.
After running, John gradually discovered that Lu Ke was not inferior to him at all.
