Fox in the Penalty Area

When the team's training was over, Hu Lai was about to go to the locker room to change clothes with his teammates, but Li Ziqiang stopped him.

"You stay."

The other players all turned their attention to Hu Lai, but no one said anything, they returned to the locker room first.

Soon there were only Hu Lai and Li Ziqiang left on the court.

Facing Hu Lai who didn't know why, Li Ziqiang said straight to the point: "You are still too weak now. As the vice-captain, it is difficult to convince everyone if you are too weak."

Hu Lai felt aggrieved: "It's not the coach... the vice-captain is not what I want to be!"

Li Ziqiang seemed to have not heard what he said at all, and continued on his own: "So you need more training."

"Coach, are you listening? I don't actually want to be the vice-captain..."

"From tomorrow on, you come half an hour earlier every morning, and I'll give you extra practice."

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "But coach, my father..."

"Your father won't let you play football, right?" Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai and said.

Hu Lai nodded vigorously.

"What does that have to do with me?" Li Ziqiang spread his hands, "How to deal with your father is your business. If you want to improve, you can come to school half an hour earlier from Monday to Friday every week. My training for you."

Hu Lai still had a sad expression on his face. There must be a reasonable explanation for going out half an hour earlier than usual every morning, right? Although there are times when you are on duty, you can't be on duty every day, right?

At this moment, he heard a system voice in his mind: "Task: Accept and complete the special training given by the coach for three months. Task reward: Every time you complete a day of training, you will get points x 100, ten consecutive Lottery ticket x 1, [Potent Potion of Wisdom] x 1."

The system that has fallen silent since the national competition has finally released tasks again!

What point rewards, what ten consecutive lottery tickets that appeared for the first time... these Hu Lai didn't care at all, he didn't even look at it, and his consciousness was directly locked on the last reward:

【Potent Wisdom Potion】!

[Potion of Wisdom] He knows it is a good thing, this [Potion of Strong Wisdom] is definitely better just by looking at its name!

【Potent Potion of Wisdom】: Improve the training effect, valid for half a year from the day of taking it.

Valid for half a year!

This is awesome!

Hu Lai was ecstatic in his heart, wishing he could get this mission reward now, only then did he discover that there was a line of inconspicuous small words at the end of the mission description: "[Potion of Potent Wisdom] can be used if this mission is not completed. Get it in advance, use it early and enjoy it early.”

Hu Lai felt that his breathing was stagnant.

Seeing that Hu Lai didn't answer his own words, Li Ziqiang was a little impatient: "What? You don't want to become stronger? I gave you a chance. When the time comes, don't..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Hu Lai suddenly said: "Okay, coach! Are you practicing from tomorrow?"

Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai who suddenly became high-spirited, but his emotions had not adjusted for a while.

"Why did you suddenly..."

"Coach, you are right. I am too weak now. I should do everything possible to improve myself through training. Coach, you are willing to do extra training for me. Of course I can't refuse!" Hu Lai raised his chest and raised his head, speaking righteously.

Although he didn't know why Hu Lai agreed so simply, he agreed anyway.

Li Ziqiang didn't care about the reasons behind him, anyway, whether he could convince his father, or use other reasons to deceive his father, that was all his business, and had nothing to do with him.

I just need to wait for him on the court tomorrow morning.

※※※

The next day, thirty-five minutes before the school bell rang for morning reading, Li Ziqiang really saw Hu Lai carrying a schoolbag on the court.

"Why don't you put your schoolbag in the classroom?" Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai's schoolbag and asked.

"Well, coach, it's too early, I'm the first one,

The door of our classroom is still locked, and I don't have a key, so I can't open the door..." Hu Lai said.

Although he said how to get permission is his own business, Li Ziqiang couldn't help being curious: "How did you convince your family?"

"Well... I just said that I want to come to school to memorize vocabulary. It's too noisy at home, and I can't calm down. The sound insulation effect of our community is really terrible. It starts to become very noisy at five or six o'clock every day. I can clearly hear the sound of water being turned on and a fire being made while making breakfast in the building opposite..." Hu Lai explained. "Coach, shall we begin?"

He looked eager to try.

Before going out today, he had already exchanged the [Potent Potion of Wisdom], and then secretly took it. Now that the potion has taken effect, he is waiting to improve the training effect.

"You warm up first." Li Ziqiang waved his hand, then grabbed a stack of logo bowls and walked towards the front of the penalty area.

When Hu Lai finished warming up and returned to Li Ziqiang, he had already placed all the sign bowls.

Those yellow logo bowls are upside down on the turf, forming a 5×5 square area at the front of the penalty area.

"From the side I'm next to, clockwise, the four sides of this circle are one, two, three, and four." Li Ziqiang pointed to the surrounding area of ​​the square area formed by the four symbolic bowls and said to Hu Lai.

"Remember the order of these four sides, clockwise, one, two, three, four." He repeated, and then looked at Hu Lai.

Hu Lai nodded: "Remember, coach."

"Okay, let me demonstrate next."

After speaking, Li Ziqiang ran from the No. 1 sideline into this square area, then turned around and ran out from the No. 2 sideline, then turned back and ran back from the No. 2 sideline, and rushed out from the opposite No. 4 sideline in one breath. Continue to turn back, enter the circle from the sideline of No. 4, and then change direction and rush out of this square area from No. 3 performance.

"When I run out, I'll pass the football to you, you have to catch the ball and finish the shot. You have to shoot the football into the goal to count. Do you understand?"

Hu Lai: "Understood, coach."

Seems simple enough... he thought to himself.

Li Ziqiang turned to look at him and asked, "Do you think it's very simple?"

"No, no, coach." Hu Lai shook his head quickly, and was even taken aback, thinking that the coach had seen through his mind...

"Okay, let's do it." After finishing speaking, Li Ziqiang retreated to the left side of the training area, with a football under his feet.

With a whistle, Hu Lai rushed into the circle, changed direction and rushed out, then turned back and rushed back, rushed across, continued to turn back and run in, and then changed direction and ran out of the circle.

At this time, his breathing has begun to become messy.

Just when he was running out of the circle, Li Ziqiang passed the football from the left. He raised his foot to stop the ball, but found that his body seemed to be less in control, and his legs were as heavy as lead.

He wanted to lift his foot to stop the ball, but he didn't lift it to the right height. The football hit the face bone of his calf and flew six or seven meters away...

Seeing this scene, he took a deep breath and knew it was not good...

Sure enough, Li Ziqiang's criticism sounded like thunder: "Have you done so much basic training for nothing? Can't even stop a ball? Huh?!"

"No, coach, this switchback run..." Hu Lai pointed to the training area to defend himself.

"What's wrong with running back and forth?" Li Ziqiang asked.

"After running back and forth too many times, my legs didn't keep up... Coach, you don't have to run back and forth so many times before catching the ball and shooting, right?"

Facing the question raised by Hu Lai, Li Ziqiang did not simply and rudely reply with "Just ask so many questions about what to do" as before, but snorted: "That's because you are too weak, so You don't need to change direction to get rid of the opponent before shooting. You just need to run into the space when no one is looking, and then wait to catch the ball. Rockay has you attract all the attention of the defense. People are staring at you..."

When the coach said that he relied on Luo Kai to attract the defensive attention, Hu Lai was not happy. He retorted: "But coach, the Anton Cup final..."

"Oh yes, in the final of the Anton Cup, Wang Guangwei followed you every step of the way, and you scored a goal in the end. So what? You plan to have a heart-to-heart talk with him on the court with every opponent you meet in the future, relying on being clever Get rid of opponents? Or do you want to spend your whole life picking up leaks and scoring goals?"

Faced with the coach's questioning, Hu Lai shook his head. Of course, he also knew that it was helpless to chat with Wang Guangwei for a long time-he talked dry and didn't even take a sip of water...

"Now the training content is to let you practice how to get rid of the opponent in the game, and then finish the shot. After you finally get rid of the defender, but you can't even stop the ball, you still want to score? Dream! Do it again!"

Hu Lai had no choice but to return to the starting line honestly and start training again.

After a whistle, he rushed out again.

"...Don't rush too hard at the beginning! You spent all your strength in front, and you still have strength when you get rid of the ball at the end?"

"Rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm! This is not a switchback speed test! I don't have a stopwatch!"

"Keep your body stable when shooting, don't stagger around, there is no stability at all, the plane in the sky has a grudge against you!!"

...

After Hu Lai was finally able to adapt to the training content, Li Ziqiang asked him to rest for 30 seconds, and then asked, "Do you still remember the sequence number of the four sides?"

Hu Lai put his hands on his knees, leaned over and nodded breathlessly: "Remember, remember... clockwise, clockwise, clockwise..."

"Okay, after a while you stand inside that square, and I will call randomly among these four numbers. Whichever number I call, you have to rush out from which side, and then catch the ball and shoot. I call a few numbers, you You have to go over the side I shouted one by one, and then shoot. Do you understand?"

Holly raised his hand.

"Say."

"Well, coach... in case you call one, wouldn't I catch the ball with my back to the goal, how can I shoot?"

"..." Li Ziqiang didn't expect Hu Lai to ask such a tricky question. He took a deep breath and said angrily, "I won't just shout one. Do you still have any questions?"

"Oh, no more..."

"Then go and stand in the circle for me!"

After Hu Lai obediently went to the circle, Li Ziqiang shouted: "Four two three!"

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment. He turned in the wrong direction for the first time, and then turned back to find the right one. Then he rushed out, turned back and ran back, turned back into the circle, and then changed direction and ran out from the third side.

But he did not receive the football.

"The reaction is too slow! By the time you finish spinning, I've already passed the ball!" Li Ziqiang said while pointing at the far end. Hu Lai looked along and found that the football had already rolled towards the corner flag area...

"Uh... Coach, I'll come again!" Hu Lai didn't talk nonsense, and jumped back into the circle on his own initiative.

"one two Three!"

"Three four two!"

...

As the morning reading class is approaching, there are more and more students in the Dongchuan Middle School campus. They chased and ran to their classrooms. Clean up and prepare for a new day of campus life.

The school, which was quite quiet before, seemed to have woken up and regained its vitality, and the campus was very lively.

There are also some students who came to the school's stadium to run and exercise, or while circling on the track, they recited English words and political texts aloud.

And everyone will first cast curious eyes on the field, watching a classmate lying on the turf panting, if you don't look carefully, you will find that his chest is still moving, it really makes people think he is dead...

Hu Lai really couldn't get up, he didn't seem to feel the existence of his thigh, and when he tried to lift his leg up a little, his leg trembled as if it had been electrified, and he couldn't control it at all.

Before accepting the system task, he felt that this training only gave 100 points a day, and the training intensity must be no more than that. Besides, just half an hour of training, how difficult can it be?

He didn't expect to know now that the task reward does not represent the difficulty of the task, and these one hundred points are really not easy to earn! He now feels that this system is extremely stingy!

Li Ziqiang came over, looked at him in such a state of embarrassment, and shook his head: "Tsk, I changed my plan. You are too weak, so the lunch break at noon is also used for extra training. Remember, don't eat too much for lunch, so as not to vomit .”

After finishing speaking, Li Ziqiang ignored Hu Lai, went straight to pack the training equipment, and then walked to his office on the sidelines.

But Hu Lai was so tired that he couldn't even make a broken expression, so he could only yell in his heart: "System! Come out of the system! The training plan has changed, why don't you adjust the rewards for your mission?! Can't you increase the amount? Increase the price! Another bottle of [Strong Wisdom Potion]!"

But the system didn't respond to him, as if there was no system at all.

Hu Lai sighed helplessly, turned over, crawled forward on the artificial turf relying on the strength of his upper body, and moved little by little towards his schoolbag on the sidelines.

And those students who came to the playground for morning exercises all stared at this strange man dumbfounded, forgetting where the words were memorized for a while...

PS, regarding the specific method of training, it is actually a bit procrastinating to explain it in words.

So I updated an easter egg chapter after the chapter, which released the training diagram.

You can look at it with this picture.
