At this point, all the qualifications for the 2007 bowls have been settled. The secondary bowls will be held in the third week of December. The four major bowls are waiting for the New Year to kick off the New Year after New Year's Day. The National Championship, as the ultimate axis, blew the opening whistle on January 7, bringing an end to the entire season.

For teams that don't qualify for the bowl, the season is over, players should prepare for the upcoming final exams, and coaches can relax and enjoy a Christmas holiday, and then travel across the United States to run around for freshmen next season.

However, Kansas State University is not in this ranks - after four years, they are about to usher in the after-New Year event again; for the first time in the team's history, they are about to take the stage of the last game of the entire season. This also means that they still have a lot of work to complete.

However, before that, there is still something very important for these players to complete: the final exam.

Only at this time can they realize that they are still college students, not professional players, and that rugby games are just "hobbies".

Another daily recovery training class ended, and Banks sighed in the locker room.

"Ah... I don't want to take the exam. I just want to sleep when I sit in the library. What should I do? I think those thick books are fluffy pillows, and the warm heating is simply an irresistible devil. God, I would rather stay in the training ground to practice more. There is no problem with coach Archie's training, as long as he can avoid the final exam."

Then Banks saw Cedric, who was winking and Hall, who was gloating, and he said inexplicably, "Do you have cramps in your eyes?"

"Really? There is no problem with additional training? Why don't we start with 'suicide' first. If not, let's start with five sets to measure the speed. What do you think?"

A pleasant voice came from behind, and a serious joke that was not funny at all:

The so-called "suicide" is actually a basic training. Taking a bottom line as the standard, it is not a simple round trip, but a variable speed round trip, first running five yards forward and back; then running ten yards forward and back; then running twenty yards forward and back... and so on, the distance to the last turn is one hundred yards, back to the starting line, and end a set of training.

Never underestimate such back-return running training. The requirements for rhythm, speed, explosive power and control are perverted. Often, the lungs are deficient in oxygen at one time. Most players support their knees with their hands and cannot move. Even walking is difficult, and it is simply worse than death. This is called "suicide".

The most terrifying thing is that Lu Yiqi also needs to count the time: every time the five-digit, ten-digit, twenty-digit, and thirty-digit reversal time must be recorded, and then the training volume is rearranged through the estimation and calculation of physical coach Isaac Burns, and the training volume is truly adjusted from the details.

Banks now clearly remembered that when Lu Yiqi proposed such a plan to Isaac, Isaac jumped high happily, and even shouted to Lu Yiqi, "I love you". Although others said they didn't hear it, he was very sure that he had heard it wrong.

Even Nelson, such a high-intensity "suicide" intensively came to three groups - and he also needed to control speed and improve rhythm, so he fell to the ground.

So how many groups of voices coming from my ears are talking about?

Banks felt that his neck was stiff, and he didn't dare to turn his head at all. He kept asking Nelson for help with his eyes: Is Coach Archie standing behind me?

"Ba.bha."

Two gentle pats came from the shoulders, and the familiar voice approached Banks' ears, revealing a little smile, "Prepare for the exam, otherwise, after seeing the transcript, the training plan may also need to be modified. I will make you regret why you fell asleep in the library."

Banks felt that he might have to wet his pants, and laughing was even worse than crying.

Lu Yiqi's eyes were filled with smiles, nodded to the other players, turned around and left, and then a burst of laughter came from the locker room.

This made Lu Yiqi miss it a little: the time of studying is the simplest and purest time in life, and it seems that the biggest trouble is a report or a difficult problem; the trivial matters in life will feel like the sky and the earth are broken, and the ups and downs are like a roller coaster.

At that time, I always wanted to grow up as soon as possible, and I couldn't wait to get rid of the constraints of my homework; however, once I grew up, I couldn't go back.

In the next two weeks, for the players, the final exam is undoubtedly the top priority. Competition and training will take the lead, focusing on restoring training and basic training. At the same time, it can also win a short breathing and recovery time to accumulate strength for the full sprint again; but for the coaching staff, it is busy with work.

On the one hand, the coaching staff must prepare for the National Championship, which is undoubtedly the most important game of the whole season, even one level higher than the Big 12 Championship.

On the other hand, the coaching staff must watch game videos, read a lot of scout information, and start preparing for the admission of freshmen next season.

The coaching staff needs to be clear about what players they really need and what kind of team they want to build. The importance of these preparations is no less than that of the National Championship. Of course, it is only the first stage of screening and adjustment, and the focus of the work is far from here.

For Kansas State University, whether it can reach the National Championship or not, the recruitment of freshmen next season will be much smoother.

Sizzling. Sizzling.

Lu Yiqi was thinking about the game video. Before watching Ohio State's game video, he hoped to watch Kansas State's own game video, especially against the University of Missouri and Oklahoma, where he needed to sort out some team's tactical states.

Because Lu Yiqi knew that the opponent's coaching team would definitely watch these game videos to find loopholes in the Wildcats; while Lu Yiqi needed to think about what strengths they should stick to, what weaknesses they should make up for, and most importantly, how to create new ideas in the inherent tactical system.

This is a very complicated and important preparation.

Then my thoughts were interrupted by the cell phone in my pocket.

Having habitually taken out his cell phone, Lu Yiqi glanced at the caller ID, but he answered it directly without his brain processing, "Good afternoon, this is Noah."

"Oh, good afternoon, Noah. This is Bobby-Bowden."

who?

Lu Yiqi paused for a moment. This was a completely unfamiliar name, but out of politeness, he did not ask questions, and the other party immediately completed the introduction of himself.
Chapter completed!
