Chapter 134 The Trial of Downhill ([-])

Training on the mountain is a completely different experience from that in the arena.

After experiencing the ball training on the sharp-edged rocky field, the physical training on the soft sand field, and the strength training with aggravated basketball, the overall strength of the players has been greatly improved in a short period of time.

The strength changes of Mu Chenfeng, Enzo, Cannavaro and other players are the most prominent.

According to regulations, the eliminated players can only train on the mountain for seven days, and today is the day they go down the mountain.

Louis got up very early, and seven days was not a long time, but the progress of the players was obvious, far exceeding Louis' expectations.

On the last day, Louis did not arrange special training, but designed two special trials for them.

The trial of going down the mountain.

Players are asked to line up and take free throws.

"What is this old guy trying to do?" Henry whispered to the people next to him.

"I don't know, let's see what he says in a while."

"It's just normal free throw practice anyway."

"It's been so long, Louis, you still don't understand, how could it be so simple."

This is exactly what Henry cares about. The more ordinary the training is, the more likely it is tricky. Yesterday he abruptly increased the weight of the aggravated basketball to 3 kilograms.

Complaints usually only come from the mouth of the weak, and the real strong have always done nothing.

The "top students" headed by Mu Chenfeng are eager to try.

"Now start to arrange freely and stand in a pile." Louis demanded.

Seemingly simple requirements are not simple!
Everyone gathered together to guess what Louis thought. The request to line up must have something to do with the next training, and it must be related to the team. In order to balance the combat power, the players stand evenly according to their strength, so that no matter what kind of strange requirements they have, they have sufficient ways to deal with them.

"It's pretty smart." The actions of the campers were approved by Louis, but what happened to the smirk on the corner of his mouth?

"I always have an ominous premonition." Henry said slowly.

Cannavaro stopped immediately, "Don't, every time you have a bad premonition, nothing good will happen."

"This shows that my hunch is right." Henry didn't feel ashamed but proud.

"According to their current positions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete this task." Alice is not optimistic about the players' carefully arranged positions, because she knows the difficulty of the next test, which is those centers who are not good at shooting.

In order to balance the combat power, every five members of the team are configured according to the standard game lineup, with two guards and two insiders plus a small forward, but this configuration has hidden hidden dangers.

The players are confidently ready to meet the tasks that Louis will assign next.

On the last day, we must give Louis a big surprise!

Unexpectedly, Louis gave them a big surprise first.

"The task is very simple. According to your current position, you can make one free throw and no breaks." Louis completed the task easily, but the task itself was not easy.

25 people need to hit 25 balls in a row.

On the surface, each person only needs to hit one goal, but now 25 people are bound into a team, and any individual mistake may lead to the loss of the whole game, and the pressure is unimaginable.

If it is only about personal pressure, it would be less, but once it rises to the team, the players who execute free throws will think more, and the closer the players are, the greater the pressure will be.

Players who are good at outside shooting are okay, but those centers with rough shots instantly become the focus of everyone.

As expected of Louis, he can always successfully capture the shortcomings of the players.

All the previous training focused on the improvement of skills and physical fitness, without any mental construction of the players. I didn't expect him to arrange this special training until the end.

"The positions are all chosen by you." Louis said with a joke on his face.

"We've all come here, we're not afraid." Mu Chenfeng encouraged everyone, and he looked more and more like the soul of the team.

The first goal in the opening game can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army for the whole mission, so the burden is on Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng was the first to go to the free throw line, raised the knife and hit the first goal.

Cannavaro followed with an easy hit.

The focus was on Puyol, the one with the worst free throws on the International team.

The 25-man free throw team ushered in its first crisis.

"I bet the ball will break." Louis is not optimistic about Puyol, his free throw percentage is only 50%, 15 percentage points lower than his shooting percentage.

"I don't think so." Alice objected, "He secretly practices every day."

Puyol knew what was wrong with him, and every day when the players finished training, he secretly practiced alone. His free throws have increased from 50% to 75%.

Luis was ignorant of Puyol's promotion, which is why he made the remarks.

Puyol stood at the free throw line and made a free throw posture, which looked familiar.

"Mu Chenfeng." Looking at Puyol's back, Alice blurted out Mu Chenfeng's name.

That's right, Puyol's free throw posture is very similar to Mu Chenfeng's, and it is much different from his previous movements.

In order to improve the percentage of free throws, Puyol specifically asked Mu Chenfeng, who is good at free throws, to correct his movements, and now his free throws are very standard.

It's not easy. To be able to block the free throw posture of more than ten years in just seven days requires not only hard work but also strong perseverance.

The action was the same as that of Mu Chenfeng, and the result was also the same. Puyol's free throw went into the net, continuing the number of consecutive goals.

Puyol's progress has impressed Luiz. Free throws are his biggest technical shortcoming, and this shortcoming is gradually getting longer.

Puyol passed the test, and the pressure on the players behind him eased a lot in an instant, and the goals were unstoppable like a storm.

Louis felt a little regretful when he saw this. He underestimated the speed of progress of the players and let them shoot three-pointers if he knew this.

Even those underrated centers were hit.

"These boys are quite capable." Louis nodded in satisfaction.

"However, the further you go, the greater the pressure. Whether the task can be completed depends on the last one."

No. 25: Enzo.

The teammates in front have hit 20 goals in a row, and the pressure on the remaining five players has increased sharply.

As the pressure increased, the adjustment time also lengthened, but the players still withstood the pressure and scored 4 goals in a row.

As long as the last Enzo can hit, the players will be able to successfully complete the first trial, and it will be done in one go.
