Chapter 43 Special training!
"Today's training camp, you have to dribble up the five hundred steps of this mountain of learning. If there is a drop or interruption in the middle, you have to go back to ASXS and start over!"
On the early morning of the weekend, at the foot of Tangshu Mountain, all members of the Deming High School Basketball Club have gathered here.
In front of them was a wide and long stone staircase. Coach Wen Jing was pointing at this stone staircase to explain the training contents to the team members.
"The steps here are the longest and widest in Shachang City. There are 500 steps in this first section of the mountain road, and it can accommodate ten people walking side by side."
"Your first task is to dribble the ball up to the platform on the steps. Whoever completes it first can rest first. If you can't complete it..."
At this point, Wen Jing's face suddenly turned extremely dark, and her voice became gloomy;
"Humph, then just wait until it gets dark! You're not allowed to eat lunch or dinner either!"
Click——!
As soon as these words came out, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike everyone's heart.
Looking at the endless rocky steps again, the sound of secretly swallowing saliva sounded involuntarily.
"Senior, was this the same thing you did in previous training camps?" a freshman who was participating in training camps for the first time asked with difficulty.
The old student looked at the dense steps in front of him and couldn't laugh anymore. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said;
"Bad, almost...last year I dribbled with both hands up a hundred steps from here. I still remember that time, I finished it from 8 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock in the evening..."
As if it brought back some terrible memories, the old man couldn't continue speaking halfway through his words, and his face was almost turning purple.
When the new student saw the old student like this, he shuddered unconsciously, then looked at the "Tongtian" steps in front of him and swallowed dryly;
"Well, although I have to go up 500 steps this time, fortunately I can dribble with one hand, so it should be easier, right?"
I wanted to seek some comfort, but the old student smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, our coach is not so kind and will lower the difficulty. I guess we will know after we start."
Everyone was handed a basketball and looked at the time. It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.
Wen Jing asked the people from the third team to divide into two rows and stand at the front, with the first row from the second team behind and the last row from the first team.
Beep——!
With the whistle blowing, training officially begins!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
The sound of dribbling continued. The action of dribbling up the steps should not be too difficult for anyone who has played basketball for a long time.
But the difficulty is that the steps are not as simple as ten or twenty floors!
There are a total of five hundred steps, and mistakes will inevitably be made along the way. Once a mistake occurs, you have to go back to .asxs and start all over again.
When they reached the 30th floor, among the members of the third team in the first two rows, some people started to make mistakes one after another.
Boom, boom, boom, boom——
"Ouch! My balls!"
"Ah! Why did you hit my ball? I have to do it all over again!"
"I, I didn't mean it either."
"Wait, wait, wait! No, no...ah! My ball was hit too!"
The sound of popping mistakes was heard one after another, and the worst thing was that when the person in front made a mistake and dropped the ball, the people behind him would also suffer.
If the falling ball is not careful, it will hit the ball in the hands of the person behind. Once hit, the two balls will continue to hit down.
It's like a chain reaction. If one person makes a mistake, it will affect the mistakes of the following people.
Only then did everyone realize why the coach asked them to stand in formation like this.
The first row is made up of people from the third team, and they have the highest error rate. Once they make a mistake, the difficulty for the second team and the first team behind them will increase.
As a result, the players in the last row have to experience the highest level of difficulty. Not only do they have to dribble the ball in their hands well, but they also have to always pay attention to avoid the balls dropped by the three teams in front and the second team in front.
Even captain Li Gangjian was hit by a falling ball on his hand without paying attention, and then the ball flew out.
Everyone else tried their best to dodge, but before the fifty steps, half of them had already made a mistake and had to go back to the bottom of the mountain and start over from the first level!
But among the remaining group of players, Huamudao in the first row has not made any mistakes. This week's hard practice of dribbling seems to have been in vain.
Huang Dong in the last row did not drop the ball, but the only ones left in the same row with him were Hao Wenqi and Hu Xu. Takagi and Cheng Fei were also hit by the ball falling in front, thus making mistakes and they had to return.
Start over at the bottom of the mountain.
When he was approaching the 100th floor, Huamudao started to fall into his old habits again and laughed proudly;
"It's not that difficult! Look at me completing these five hundred steps in no time! Be the first to complete it!"
boom--!
But just as he finished speaking, the ball in his hand hit the edge of a step.
Due to the force on the side, the basketball flew out with a thud, bouncing down the mountain with a thud.
"Ah! My ball!"
"Hua Mu Dao! I was killed by you!"
Several people behind him also dropped the ball due to Huamudao's mistake. Even point guard Hu Xu, who had always been a good dribbler, had the ball in his hand hit.
This time, one-third of the original half of the people were missing.
When they reached the 200th step, there were less than ten people left in the first wave, and by this time they were gradually starting to feel tired.
How can I not be tired when I keep dribbling with one hand, climbing up a mountain and descending two hundred steps?
Once this gets tired, the probability of making a mistake will also greatly increase. At about the 210th floor, the last player from the third team also made a mistake.
Then he also implicated the two second team players behind him in making mistakes. The only ones left were Huang Dong, Hao Wenqi, and two other lucky second team players.
The four people were almost halfway through, when the two second-team players in front suddenly made mistakes at the same time.
Two balls fell from the sky and hit Huang Dong and Hao Wenqi behind.
Huang Dong and Hao Wenqi immediately dodged when they saw this, but they may have been too anxious, so they didn't notice that their bodies were rushing in the opposite direction.
Bang——!
With a muffled sound, Huang Dong and Hao Wenqi collided.
This time, four balls bounced down from halfway up the mountain at the same time. Everyone's first attempt ended in failure!
Seeing the ball still rolling down the mountain, the iconic smile on Hao Wenqi's face froze.
What's more annoying than failing at something half-finished, and failing for no fault of your own?
But no matter how depressed they are, they still have to go down the mountain and start over again. Now everyone feels the "abnormality" of their special training.
It seems that it is quite difficult for everyone to complete this training camp!
Wen Jing, the "culprit" who planned this "abnormal" training camp, was currently lying on a folding deck chair at the foot of the mountain with a parasol next to him.
Holding a glass of juice in one hand and a telescope in the other hand, he was "monitoring" the training team members. It really looked like they were on vacation.
When she saw through the telescope that everyone in the first wave had failed, she instead raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sly smile;
"I want to pass it so easily, hey, you are too underestimated me, come on everyone, if someone can pass the test before noon, I will lose!"
After talking proudly to herself, Wen Jing put down the telescope in her hand, put on a pair of sunglasses, and lay down comfortably.
A few minutes later, slight snoring sounded. While all the team members were training hard, she, the coach, actually fell asleep!
When the team members looked over from a distance, they could only see Wen Jing lying there, her eyes wearing sunglasses still "staring" at them, so no one dared to cheat.
Dozens of players, on the rocky steps of the Shushan Hall, dribbled up and down again and again, over and over again, endlessly.
Chapter completed!
