Chapter 522 Training Plan
In the offseason, spring is just around the corner. It’s a good time to lie down, party, and be in a daze. It’s a good time to do nothing, clear your mind, and travel around; it’s not a good time to train or fight.
There is no doubt about this.
Levi was not prepared to miss out on the good times. Life should not only include grappling and collisions, but also poetry and distance. But after a short vacation, Levi had other ideas.
In the 2017 season that just ended, Levi gained a lot and grew a lot. The Super Bowl MVP is definitely an extra reward; at the same time, he opened his eyes and learned a lot.
On the one hand, realize your own shortcomings.
Such as confrontation.
Lynch's training template failed to bring immediate results in a short period of time. In order to avoid sacrificing his agility and speed advantages, he simply slowed down in the second half of the season, greatly reducing the time of using Lynch's training template, and focusing more on Tom Linsen training template.
However, the closer we get to the second half of the playoffs, the more intense the competition becomes.
Although Levi is not prepared to change his tactical style, there is certainly no way for him to become a running back like Henry and Lynch; but the training to improve his confrontation ability and ability to resist hits cannot stop.
In the offseason, Lynch's training template should be picked up again.
On the other hand, realize that the challenges of the new season may be more severe.
In fact, entering the second half of the regular season, Levi could clearly realize that the coaches had increased their vigilance and focused on him. Although they kept saying that "the rookie still needs to prove himself," they attached great importance to tactics; and, in the Super Bowl reached its peak on stage.
However, this is only the first season.
Next season, other teams will pay more attention to him and their understanding of him will be fully upgraded. No one will take it lightly and may even send multiple people to defend——
It's an honor.
Li Wei expressed his welcome and warm welcome.
Mentally, he is ready; physically and technically he also needs to keep up.
One is to enhance confrontation capabilities; the other is to enrich one's weapons, including catching and passing, to make oneself a multiple threat.
Because of this, this offseason is very important to Levi. In a sense, it is even much more important than last year.
After all, last year, as a rookie who jumped out of the rocks, no one took him seriously; but now, the entire league is paying attention to him and looking forward to his sophomore performance——
A fleeting shooting star, or a star that can truly establish a foothold in the league?
Similarly, it is precisely because of this that Levi realizes the positive significance of Le'Veon Bell's training template.
In terms of technical style, Bell is undoubtedly a unique presence in the league.
He is not the fastest, nor the strongest, nor the best in confrontation. Although these aspects are not bad, if singled out, he is not the best in the league; he has his own style.
"One stop, two looks, three passes", this is a way of ridicule by fans towards Bell's style.
From a professional point of view, Bell is a typical late-attack running back. The league has always tended to use running backs to start confrontations, either using changes of direction and speed to open up gaps like Peterson, or hitting the wall head-on with force like Henry. , this is the traditional running back style; however, Bell is not like this. He always remains patient and calm, waiting for the defensive player to make the first move, waiting for the gap to appear, and then using his own ability to seize the gap. To put it simply, Bell's openings for running the ball are often not created by himself, but waiting for them.
Patience and calmness, these are the key words.
Thanks to this, Bell has maintained top competitive status for three consecutive seasons without facing serious injuries.
Perhaps, some people will complain that this is a sign of cowardice, because the essence of rugby is confrontation, and there is nothing remarkable about Bell's style.
In fact, this is not the case.
Bell can remain patient and calm because he has such confidence. Even if he strikes from behind, he can rely on speed and strength to reverse the disadvantage and seize the fleeting gaps and holes to tear open the defense.
Although individual talents are not top-notch, his overall ability is undoubtedly top-notch.
In Levi's games, he will also observe the defensive formation to capture loopholes, but overall, his ball running style is still closer to Peterson; in the playoffs, Levi has also tried to attack from behind and rely on his personal ability to use clever tricks. Break the game, but only you know the difficulty.
If Levi can learn Bell's stunts, he will add another skill to his arsenal in the new season; but if not, what Levi is most curious about is Bell's vision.
Peterson's vision is keen on local details, which does not mean that it is narrow, but he is often used to sticking to defensive players and relying on his body to form squeeze, confrontation, and deterrence, and then captures the breakthrough gaps within his field of vision.
So, what about Bell?
Bell's iconic "stop and look", can he see a broader and more comprehensive defensive formation, and how can he find gaps and gaps in the ever-changing confrontation, and then choose the correct way to break through?
At the same time, Levi is also curious whether Bell's way of running the ball puts more demands on reading the defense, so that the running back's work requires more mental work in addition to physical confrontation, and is carried out in a smarter and more resourceful way. game to reduce the load and damage on the running back's body as much as possible.
It's a pity that Levi's understanding of football in his previous life was infinitely close to zero. He really didn't know Bell's future. Will he suffer from injuries and will he enter the Hall of Fame?
It is worth observing that according to the system's judgment, Peterson's template is S-level, while Bell is A-level like Lynch; but unlike Lynch, Bell is not yet 26 years old this year and has a professional career. Career still has countless possibilities, why can't the system rating go further?
Anyway, Bell's training template is an interesting new toy.
In addition to catching and passing the ball, Levi still has room for improvement in his job as a running back——
Levi still hasn't forgotten what Shaban and Coach Burns said when he decided to participate in the draft. Although he has occupied a top position in the NCAA, the intensity of competition in the professional arena is another story, and he will face many challenges. , and need to constantly improve themselves.
By all accounts, this offseason should be a lot of fun.
Levi is gearing up and can't wait. He knows that many running backs, defensive ends, and linebackers in the league are training with him in mind; but he won't rest, looking forward to meeting on the field in the new season. It can bring surprises and see who can have the last laugh.
Of course, you still need to take a vacation, but a training plan can be made.
Just after putting away the system, Levi was about to go out for a jog to sober up. The landline phone at home rang. Levi was not ready to answer the call. He went straight to the room to change clothes. He just left the call on the answering machine and would reply after returning from jogging. , there should be no emergency anyway.
"Hey, Levi, this is JJ, JJ Watt..."
Wait, who?
