Chapter 14 The first step
Take the first step. tread. tread.
The sound of brisk and even footsteps trampled through the light golden sunlight that filtered through the shade of the trees in the early morning as they walked through the campus of the University of Alabama.
I am used to exhaust fumes and smog in big cities, but now I can clearly feel the green oxygen filling every alveoli, and my steps feel lighter.
In the early morning, the quiet campus has just woken up. Some birds got up early and hurried to the classroom with books in their arms. Some birds left the library dragging their heavy bodies that had not slept all night. Some birds stood in the middle of the grass to bathe in the sun and practice yoga. They were busy and busy. The crowded life just slows down.
Levi, jogging all the way through it.
Turn a corner, enter the straight boulevard area, and then accelerate at full speed.
Sprint, speed up, sprint with all your strength, keep speeding up, without reservation.
Jogging is not simply jogging, but variable-speed running that was often practiced in cross-country running in the past. The key is to go fast and slow, adjust your breathing and rhythm, and try to maintain a continuous output of speed during the changes.
This is a test -
It is a test of the potential of this body, and also a test of the operation of the system.
According to the system description, the progress bar at the bottom is another daily function of the system. It is accumulated through training and competition. When the progress is full, you can win the chance to flop again.
Among them, Levi noticed that the left and right sides at the top of the page were slightly different. The template page on the left seemed looser, but there were only three card slots on the right.
Therefore, it is currently unclear whether there is an upper limit on the number of templates and card slots. If so, can additional ones be obtained through card flip opportunities? If not, do the three card slots represent three functions?
The novice gift package gave Li Wei two cards. He has equipped them all, and there is still one card slot empty. This makes Li Wei curious and competitive, hoping to fill up the progress bar as soon as possible to win. Flop opportunity.
So, is there a pattern behind "accumulation through training and competition"?
By time?
Rely on quality?
Rely on performance on the field? The better the performance on the field, will I get additional bonuses? What about training? Does performance in internal competitions and system template training also count?
Everything is waiting for Levi to slowly explore.
Judging from the experiments yesterday afternoon and this morning, everything counts——
Whether it is system template training or your own exercise in your spare time, all of them can push the progress bar forward; moreover, both quantity and quality are taken into consideration. Training duration is the obvious way to improve, and the higher the quality and intensity of the same training duration, the better. The faster.
In addition, it is estimated that it is still a "newbie village", and it is not difficult to improve the progress. There was no professional training yesterday and today. Just some tests and experiments, and the progress bar has improved a little; but subsequent improvements should become more and more difficult. , after all, the level of professionalism is completely different.
Huh.
Huh.
Sprinting at full speed all the way to the end of the boulevard, slowing down, keeping a constant speed, accelerating, slowing down, keeping a constant speed, and then sprinting back again with changing speeds.
His lungs were burning, as if he could hear the sound of gurgling, and a slightly sharp and sour tingling sensation spread in his muscles, but Levi still did not stop, but adjusted his direction and ran all the way at a constant speed. The school stadium, you can see the building from a distance——
A dark red square tripod building with ivory white, a five-story building, grand and majestic; on the front is an office building, with layers of spiral-shaped stands spread out from the two wings in a Transformers style, full of history. , crawling quietly in a corner of the campus like a giant beast.
Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The name comes from two leaders of the University of Alabama, one is George-Denny who served as president from 1912 to 1932, and the other led the Crimson Tide Storm football team to write countless glories since 1975. The meritorious coach Paul-'Bear'-Bryant (Paul-'Bear'-Bryant).
This stadium, which can accommodate 102,000 people and is located on the campus of the University of Alabama, is a landmark in the city of Tuscaloosa. For local residents, they may not be able to find it after being drunk. On the way home, I will never forget the location of the stadium.
For Levi, everything is new, because cross-country running is always outdoors, and there is rarely a chance to enter a stadium, let alone a stadium that seats 100,000 people. The entire scale and momentum are completely different.
I had feelings about it during the trial yesterday, but I just had the opportunity to take a closer look today.
Entering the stadium is like a new world——
That's right, because rugby is truly a new world. Right now.
A figure sprang out from behind, leaping out with light steps, like an arrow from a string, surpassing Levi in an instant.
Levi was still immersed in the magnificence of the stadium, and before he had time to react, his body reflexively followed him immediately.
One kick, one rush.
The speed exploded in an instant, but Levi did not overtake him immediately. Instead, he followed closely and looked at the figure.
Wait, he knew this guy. He was the guy who almost got shit twice yesterday. His position was...cornerback, but what was his name?
Humphrey didn't know what was going on in Levi's head. He just wanted to make a joke, but when he turned around, he saw Levi's close face.
Ghost!
As if he had seen a ghost, Humphrey increased his speed and ran wildly, but he did not expect that Levi followed closely, and his speed also increased completely.
One wisp of wind, two wisps of wind, two people entered the court one after the other.
Ronnie Clark is diligently rolling out training equipment——
Rugby is a sport with very strong collisions, recklessness and brutality, and daily training is no exception. Players need to carry out various impact training, various anti-collision training, and various direction change and dodge training.
These are just general basic training, which everyone on the team must practice; after the basic training is over, there will be special training for different positions, which is more professional and detailed.
The above is just the physical training in the morning.
In addition to this, there is also gym training and the most important tactical training.
For professional players in the NFL, training four days a week and ten hours a day, a double test of mental and physical strength, is definitely not something ordinary people can withstand.
But not the NCAA. The official fixed weekly training time cannot exceed twenty hours, and it also requires that the time spent studying in a professional study room should not be less than seven hours.
Because of this, NCAA games tend to focus more on the physical, while the tactics are relatively simple.
Now, all Clark is doing is moving the training equipment to the court in preparation for morning training.
Then.
Clark saw two figures rushing in, that was... Humphrey and yesterday's rookie?
Humphrey was accelerating, trying to get away from the rookie.
After failing, Humphrey tried to change speed again, relying on the change of rhythm to wear down the rookie. However, he never expected that the rookie would insist on holding on.
The two people just started running circles around the court, and they couldn't keep distance between each other.
One lap. Two laps. Three laps.
Without warning, the rookie started to accelerate, opening up the gap in an instant. Humphrey didn't notice and failed to keep up with his first step, and then he couldn't keep up again. He watched helplessly as the distance widened.
Humphrey:? What's going on?
Dear book friends, this book will soon be recommended and entered into the competition. I beg you to read it. Please support me with your help. Thank you all very much!
