Chapter 40 For Training
Zhao Mengqi looked up at me, nodded, and quickly lowered her head to continue reading.

I resolutely ran to the novel area on the second floor of the library, preparing to start the self-study novel mode. After searching for a long time, I found a collection of novels by Junichi Watanabe and an old book "Fierce Animals" by Wang Shuo.

Once I have a novel, I immediately enter a state of sedation in which I don’t hear anything outside the window. The library is warm and welcoming, and there are books, literature and art accompanied by goddesses.

I am obsessed with the novel, love or hate, sorrow or injury, sadness or joy with the characters in the book, experience the ups and downs together and feel the unpredictable changes in the world.

"Hey, what book are you reading?" Zhao Mengqi asked suddenly.

I raised my head, trying to pull myself away from another world and back to reality, "I'm reading this novel by Wang Shuo." I said blankly, thinking that Zhao Mengqi would not be interested.

"Wang Shuo? Do you still read Wang Shuo?" Zhao Mengqi stared at the book and said.

"Why, can't you read it? This is a classic novel. The language is very sharp, the style is very different, and the plot is straightforward. I like it very much."

"Is it so beautiful, show it to me." Without further ado, Zhao Mengqi snatched "Fierce Animals" from my hand, mercilessly like an animal.

Zhao Mengqi carefully flipped through the novel, and calmly entered the water, as if reading a vocabulary book for grades [-] and [-] without leaking.I sat on the sidelines quietly admiring the picture of the goddess reading a novel, elegant and moving, suddenly like a painting.

The novel is obviously much better than the words. Zhao Mengqi kept reading and reading, and I also picked up another novel and started to flip through it. The self-study in the afternoon turned into a novel reading class.When I regained my composure, I realized that it was past four o'clock and Zhang Zihan hadn't appeared.

"Hey," I asked Zhao Mengqi, "Isn't Zhang Zihan coming this afternoon?"

"I didn't say anything, I'll take a look at WeChat," Zhao Mengqi said, pulling herself out of the novel, and started to look at her phone. "Oh~, she said she wouldn't come in the afternoon after sleeping, and just sent a WeChat message."

"Oh~" I said, I am very satisfied as long as someone reads with me, let alone a goddess.

In the training class on Wednesday evening, although Wang Bo was injured, he still sat next to train with everyone and listened to Coach Wang's lectures.

At the beginning of the training session, Coach Wang said: "We played very well against everyone in the School of Management last game. Although Wang Bo was injured in the first quarter, Zhang Jian who came off the bench, Tianyu's breakthrough, Ah Huang's three-pointer, and everyone else played very well. We played against the School of Management inextricably, but finally won. Thank you very much for your efforts, and congratulations to everyone for successfully entering the quarterfinals!"

"But!" the coach changed the subject, "We also exposed a lot of problems. The main reason is that the players in each position are not outstanding and did not perform their duties. The second point is that our offensive methods are still too few. Except for Tianyu's forced breakthrough, dunks and layups relying on his body, and Ah Huang's long-range three-pointer, there are basically no other stable scoring methods."

"The third point is that our physical reserves are not enough. Except for Tianyu, the other players basically exhausted their physical energy in the fourth quarter. In view of the above problems, I think it is necessary to carry out targeted training for different players starting today! What's your opinion?"

"What is targeted training?" I asked the most basic question following the coach's train of thought, and the coach should be happy enough.

"Targeted training means that each player trains different content according to his position in the team." The coach made a concise summary without talking nonsense.

"Then what do I mainly train?" I then asked the coach.

"As a small forward, you are mainly responsible for offense. At present, you should mainly train breakthrough layups and mid-range jumpers."

"Then don't you need to shoot 3 points?" I asked.

"Time is very tight now, and there are only 10 days before the official game. It is completely impossible for someone like you who has no basics in shooting to practice mid-range shooting and three-pointers within 10 days. Therefore, we should focus on practicing breakthroughs and mid-range shots. In a short period of time, we can enrich our offensive methods and prepare for the next game."

"Then what do we train?" Zhang Jian also asked the coach.

"Let me tell you about the training focus of each position. We have been training comprehensively before, and everyone's training content is the same. From today onwards, point guards, such as Zhang Jian, mainly practice dribbling, passing and breakthrough; shooting guards, such as Ah Huang, mainly practice mid-range shooting and long-range three-point shooting; small forwards, such as Tianyu and Wang Kai, mainly practice breakthrough and mid-range shooting; Carry out targeted training to improve everyone's abilities." Coach Rory talked a lot.

"Is it too detailed to train everyone in this way? For example, what should I do if I want to shoot a three-pointer?" Song Song asked.

"If you dare to shoot a three-pointer, I will replace you immediately! A power forward who has never shot a three-pointer, what kind of three-pointer do you shoot?! Is Ah Huang accurate in three-pointers?! You make one out of 10, and Ah Huang makes six out of 10! Do your job well, Songsong, and grab the rebounds!" The coach spat at Songsong.

Song Song immediately stopped talking.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" the coach finally asked.

"Coach, I have one more request!" I raised my hand to signal the coach,

"Say it!" The coach waited for me patiently.

"I basically rely on imitating the movements of professional league star players in my mid-range shooting. I feel unprofessional and unsystematic. I want to ask Wang Bo to guide me alone. He is injured right now and cannot participate in training, but he has rich experience in games and proficient basketball skills. He happens to be next to me to guide my standard mid-range shots."

"Wang Bo, what do you think?" The coach seemed to agree with my conditions, but he also needed the approval of the parties.

"Okay! I'm fine, just listen to the coach's arrangement!" Wang Bo had no objection.

In fact, even if the coach does not arrange, I will let Wang Bo guide the training alone, because Wang Bo speaks clearly and has the potential to sell insurance and professional coaches.

Wang Bo and I went to the basket to start training!The others practiced their own way. Ah Huang started to shoot three-pointers next to another basket, stopped a first-year freshman, and was responsible for picking up and passing the ball for him.

Songsong and Dayu are working hard on offensive and defensive skills at the basket. Songsong attacks Dayu's defense. In the next round, Dayu will attack and Songsong will defend.

Zhang Jian led a few players to pass and run in another empty field, three-on-three training, mainly practicing breakthroughs and passing and catching. The players only dribbled and did not shoot.
