Old man, you are quite competitive?
Thank you Coach Carter, you have successfully inspired me to pursue my goal!
Gu Ran's legs moved faster!
Gu Ran was not in a hurry to overtake, but just followed closely behind Coach Carter.
Two minutes later, Coach Carter couldn't hold on any longer and his running speed dropped significantly.
This kind of close staring and forcing is really quite enjoyable! Gu Ran secretly laughed in his heart, and then reminded in a warm tone: "Hey, coach, pay attention to your left, I'm going to overtake."
Coach Carter was completely numb.
Under normal circumstances, if someone dared to act so arrogantly in front of him, he would have started to scold them.
But the one who was holding him back was Gu Ran, so that was fine.
Coach Carter was not angry, but secretly delighted: Ha, this kid Gu is really like me when I was young! I have surpassed myself, it doesn't matter! As long as I put myself in his shoes, I don't feel ashamed, but a little excited.
——Coach Carter was the first one to be lapped by Gu Ran during this warm-up run.
Then, Minato panted and caught up, "Coach, watch your left, I want to--"
"Get out!" Coach Carter angrily raised his fist and was about to hit Minato.
Minato quickly retracted his tongue and quickened his pace to shake off the suddenly angry old man.
10 minutes later.
Gu Ran reminded in a warm tone: "Hey, coach, I'm going to overtake again, watch your left."
Coach Carter nodded happily at Gu Ran, "Gu, you are so polite. Take it easy, don't use up all your energy—"
This was the second time Gu Ran had set him up.
Another 5 minutes passed, when Minato caught up with Coach Carter and was about to do the second lap, Coach Carter gave Minato a murderous look and forced him back.
After the 20-minute warm-up run, everyone on the Bucks Steel Horns team was lapped by Gu Ran twice.
Coach Carter suffered the most, as he was trapped by Gu Ran for three full laps.
As soon as the warm-up run was over, Coach Carter, who had always been strong, knelt on the grass and retched continuously.
As the boss of the Bucks Steelers locker room, Coach Carter actually vomited during his own warm-up runs!
These little bastards, hehehe...
Great progress! Coach Carter retched, feeling very happy.
With such a positive attitude from the whole team, plus the super talent Gu Ran... the Bucks Steelhorns will definitely make history this time! Definitely!
"Coach! Are you okay?"
"Coach, I told you to think twice."
"Coach, you are the last one, so during lunch, you have to sing solo 10 times. Another young and handsome Oriental man, his name is Gu Ran."
"Coach, are you okay? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?"
"Coach, let the sissy give you artificial respiration!"
The idiots on the Bucks Horns surrounded Coach Carter, appearing to be concerned but actually taking the opportunity to make fun of him.
Glider took out his newly bought cell phone and secretly recorded Coach Carter's embarrassing moment.
Coach Carter's face turned pale. "...Get the hell out of here! This time, Gu Ran will be the standard. Anyone who is trapped by Gu Ran will have to go to the restaurant to sing - except me!"
"ah?"
"Coach! You can't do this!"
Coach Carter straightened up. "I'm a coach! I can--ugh!"
Coach Carter lay on the ground retching again.
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns were bursting with bubbles!
Gu Ran took the opportunity to concentrate his mind and scanned: in addition to white bubbles such as physical training and passing training, there were also two blue skill bubbles.
Rusty dropped a skill bubble of reasonable collision +1, and Minato dropped a skill bubble of two-pass cooperation +1.
It's now B-rated, so you can stack the skill to +4 by picking it up!
Gu Ran immediately picked up the rusty strips and bubbles on the water gate through the air.
In this way, Gu Ran's two skills were upgraded to reasonable collision +4 and two-pass cooperation +3.
After picking up the two blue skill bubbles, Gu Ran selected 7 white bubbles for physical training, sprint training, passing training, and jumping training.
Combined with the remaining training results, the 100 hours of training results are gathered again and automatically exchanged for a new talent point.
To upgrade to A-level, at least 15 sub-attributes must reach 75 points.
Therefore, in addition to the physical sub-attribute, you also need to select 14 other sub-attributes that are easier to achieve with 75 points.
Among the remaining known sub-attributes that are easier to reach 75 points, the burst attribute is 66 points and the constitution attribute is 68 points, both of which can be improved as 15 sub-attributes.
The burst attribute is sprint, and sprint is Gu Ran’s core strength.
When your physical fitness is almost at the graduation level, the next focus should be on sprinting and strengthening your strengths.
Gu Ran thought about it quickly, and then added the exchanged talent points to the burst attribute.
In this way, the burst attribute is increased to 67 points.
...It is still a long way from reaching professional standards.
You still need to continue to strengthen your own training. Your own training can be combined with the training results you have picked up, and you can get growth-oriented improvement after the competition.
The more you train yourself, the better you perform in the competition, and naturally the greater the growth you will gain.
After the warm-up, the whole team did 15 minutes of stretching under the leadership of captain Mianbao.
This morning's training focused on technical training for the whole team, mainly focusing on the two major items of offense and defense conversion and backcourt advancement.
The Bucks Steelhorns' team building idea is defensive counterattack. To be more specific, the main tactical idea is to rely on the connection and cooperation of offense and defense transitions and the advancement of the left side of the backcourt.
The facts in the previous few games have proved that Coach Carter's idea is very correct.
The game of the Bucks Steel Horns, as a whole, was not beautiful enough, but practical enough.
If you want to play beautiful football like tiki-taka, you first need players with the right skills.
The actual situation of the Milwaukee Bucks is that except for Minato, who has some skills, the other players all prefer physical confrontation.
Even for the "genius-level" Gu Ran, his current technical foundation is not very good. He mainly relies on physical confrontation, speed, and a very high basketball IQ.
Therefore, the self-positioning of the Bucks Steelers is still very clear.
A football match may seem like a battle between 11 players on the field, but it is more of a showdown between coaches.
What is truly exciting about a football match is not just the goals, but the various details such as spying on each other's military intelligence, deploying troops, and responding to the opponent's moves on the spot.
After the morning training, most of the main players were so tired that they collapsed directly on the grass.
Originally, the intensity of these two training programs was not very high, but after Gu Ran got the ball, he sprinted madly, leading the whole team to sprint along. The training intensity of the whole team was immediately raised to a semi-professional training level by Gu Ran.
When everyone was resting, Gu Ran continued to practice.
In addition to training hard to accelerate his own growth, Gu Ran also wanted to use this method to clear his physical energy, so that he could fall asleep as soon as he got into bed after returning home at night.
This is called passive self-discipline.
Don't give your young body a chance! At lunchtime, Gu Ran asked the team's assistant drummer to bring him lunch and he ate it at the training ground.
This saves time and allows you to train longer.
Of course the most important thing is that this can avoid being caught by the GR fan club and causing unnecessary commotion.
After lunch, Gu Ran took a quick half-hour break and then started sprint training again.
The next major direction of increasing points is burst. If you don't practice more and suddenly increase the sprint speed, it will make people suspicious.
“Gu, you are so crazy!”
"Aren't you afraid of gastroptosis?"
"Gu, leave us a way to survive!"
"Gu, I hate you..."
The main players of the Milwaukee Bucks were all moved to tears by Gu Ran.
They had originally reserved plenty of energy to fight with Gu Ran, but in the end they couldn't even hold on for half a day.
The afternoon training focused on backfield offense and passing coordination.
These two trainings are still relatively easy technical trainings.
but……
As long as Gu Ran is with us during the training, it will definitely not be easy.
Gu Ran continued to maintain a high-speed sprinting motion when passing and receiving the ball. The intensity of the entire joint training was forcibly raised by Gu Ran to a semi-professional level.
All the main players were exhausted from training again.
Coach Carter was very satisfied with Gu Ran's performance.
After the afternoon training, Coach Carter called Gu Ran to his side and said, "Gu, the competition will start in three days. You need to maintain your physical fitness. Don't train too hard, and don't get injured in pursuit of hard work. Especially at this time, you have to be more careful."
Gu Ran immediately said, "Yes, coach."
"Also..." Coach Carter said earnestly, "In the next three days, please don't be affectionate. The next game is really important to you. When the time comes, important people will come to watch the game."
Gu Ran was slightly stunned: Important person?
Come to think of it, this is Southampton High School's second semi-final in a hundred years, and also the first semi-final at home. It is normal for important people from Southampton to come and watch the game.
Gu Ran didn't think much about it, "Please rest assured, coach! I will definitely not be affectionate in these three days!"
I, Gu Ran, dare to set this flag!
Coach Carter patted Gu Ran on the shoulder and said, "Very good. Well, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Gu Ran asked, "Leaving so early? Coach, won't you practice with us for a while?"
Coach Carter walked off the court with his legs stiff, and said without looking back: "No, no, I just remembered that the gas in our house seems to be on..."
Gu Ran: ...I wish you peace.
As soon as Coach Carter left, the other main players of the Bucks Steelhorns also went home to rest - they really couldn't keep going.
Gu Ran felt that some of his physical strength had not been exhausted, so he added another hour of resistance sprint practice in the training ground.
Not until he had completely exhausted all his energy and had no more strength to sprint did Gu Ran finally walk into the locker room contentedly, leaning against the wall.
The feeling of sweating profusely after this kind of training, and the satisfaction of dopamine secretion in the brain, is so damn cool!
The whole body is transparent!
After taking a shower, Gu Ran climbed over the wall to leave the school, drove his Porsche Cayenne, and returned to the Dune Villa.
When I opened the door, it was already 7:30 in the evening.
Needless to say, after being bored at home all day, Anne was full of negative emotions again.
"Annie, I'm back!"
Gu Ran immediately went to Annie's room.
When Annie saw Gu Ran coming back, she immediately flew over happily and hung on Gu Ran's neck like a koala, "Gu, you're finally back!"
This time Annie didn't cry, which shows that although Annie still has negative emotions, her depression is gradually improving and she is not as out of control as before.
This is a good thing!
Gu Ran happily held Annie's waist and hips with both hands.
Although Gu Ran's physical energy was basically exhausted during training, he didn't feel any difficulty at all while holding Annie up at this moment.
——This is probably the primitive instinct of men.
Gu Ran kissed Annie on her raised lips. "You've been waiting for so long. Do you miss me?"
"I don't want to." Annie said coquettishly, "I just want to... help you."
Holy shit…
So straightforward! So fierce! Goddess, please don't do this!
It's all my fault that I'm too strong and you're addicted! We can't talk about this as soon as we meet! I'm a man who must be self-disciplined! I just made a solemn promise to Coach Carter! ——Gu Ran felt that although he didn't have much physical strength left, his young body still wanted to toss around.
This won’t work. This won’t work!
Gu Ran took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but his breath was filled with the intoxicating scent of Annie's perfume.
How can I resist the pure goddess in the hearts of millions of people who is only flirting with me?
It’s too difficult!
Why do I feel like I can hold Annie without using my hands now?
Gu Ran held his breath and quickly suppressed his raging heartbeat.
Calm down! Calm down! Self-discipline! Self-discipline! "...Annie, are you hungry? Did you have lunch on time? Can I make you your favorite Scottish noodles?" Gu Ran tried to change the subject.
Annie was slightly startled, and then she widened her pair of pure and lustful peach blossom eyes and looked at Gu Ran aggrievedly, "Gu, are you... no longer interested in me?"
Oh shit!
Goddess, you really think too much!
How can I not be interested in you? We have only just started!
To put it rudely - for someone like you, I can play with you every day, every day and every night, and I still can't get enough!
Gu Ran quickly said: "No! No! Really not!"
Annie said disappointedly: "You didn't do it with me last night, which means my body is no longer attractive to you."
What kind of lewd words are these! Gu Ran swallowed hard, "No, no, Annie! I really want to, but I... for the sake of training and the game, I have to hold back! My next game is not only important to me, but also to our entire team! Annie, believe me, wait for me for 3 days! By the end of the game on the 4th day, I will definitely prove to you how fresh you are in my heart!"
Annie chuckled, "Okay, okay! Of course I know you have an important game! I was just joking with you just now, and you look serious. How could I be the kind of woman who would delay your work just to do it? Besides, I'm exhausted these past two days and I'm eager to take a break. Even if you want to do it, I won't do it with you."
...I don’t believe it!
Why don’t we give it a try?
Forget it, I can't let myself get burned! Hold on! Just endure these three days, and it will be fine on the fourth day! Gu Ran calmed down, "Annie, I'll make you some Scottish noodles."
"Well, I'll go with you. I love watching you cook the most. Watching you cook is simply the highest level of spiritual SPA enjoyment!"
Gu Ran: ...
It’s over, I’m going to be praised again.
This is also the reason why I can't take Annie to the training ground no matter what.
Just warming up on the training ground would make Annie praise me so much that I couldn't train at all afterwards.
Not only will he be unable to train, but other main players will also collapse.
While Gu Ran put Annie down, he concentrated his mind and collected the red talent point bubble dropped by Annie through the air.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ran calmly added this talent point to the burst attribute.
The burst attribute then increased from 67 points to 68 points.
My sprint is fierce again! A thought suddenly popped up in Gu Ran's mind: I don't know either?
It should be possible, after all, these are all properties of the body.
After the competition is over in 3 days, you can verify it with Annie.
By then, hehehehe...
Gu Ran walked into the kitchen to cook while laughing secretly.
After dinner and a walk in the evening, Gu Ran took two hours to continue hand-drawing the storyboard script for "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises".
Before going to bed, Gu Ran used the liquid nitrogen freezing capsule and sauna steam room again to restore his physical strength.
His own physical attributes, coupled with scientific methods, allowed Gu Ran to quickly recover more than half of his physical strength.
If you discipline yourself to get enough sleep tonight, you will be able to recover 70% to 80% of your normal state by tomorrow morning.
This is not the best recovery state, but compared to non-professional high school players, this is definitely an incredible physical recovery speed.
——You can continue to roll it tomorrow! That night, Gu Ran returned to the room wrapped in a bath towel.
I saw Annie was already lying in bed early.
Gu Ran: ...
Annie poked her head out from under the quilt and smiled gently and innocently, "Gu, don't get me wrong, I just came here to sleep, we won't do anything."
Holy shit…
The goddess-level Hollywood princess lies in my bed and asks me to do nothing...
This is truly the most brutal test ever! Calm down!
Gu Ran! You are a reborn, time-tested man!
You can do it!
Gu Ran took a deep breath, pulled off the bath towel around his waist, and went to bed with confidence.
Now the pressure is on Anne.
Anne's pretty face flushed and she dived into the bed.
Just when Gu Ran was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Annie arched her way into the middle of the quilt.
"Hey, don't mess around."
The breath coming out of Anne's mouth was warm.
Oh shit!
Gu Ran’s blood immediately flowed backwards and he was getting drunk!
Annie, you are so naughty! You are really a cat! Gu Ran held Annie down.
Annie said coquettishly: "Gu, what are you doing?"
I, I really, must...be self-disciplined! Gu Ran gritted his teeth and panted, "Annie, you are naughty now, but you will be in trouble in three days!"
"Oh, I'm so scared! But there are still three days left!" Annie giggled, turned around, found a comfortable position for her body, and then said contentedly, "Good night."
Damn...you!
Gu Ran forced himself to recite the 16 postures of calculus in his mind... No, it's formulas.
Before the 8th set, Gu Ran couldn't open his eyes anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
So, calculus is really a good thing.
Early the next morning.
These days... it's so hard to endure! Gu Ran got up, made two nutritious breakfasts, left a note for Annie, and drove to school for training.
In the past few days, as the semi-finals approached, not only the Bucks Steelhorns were actively preparing for the game, but the entire Southampton High School had also entered the "preparation" mode.
From the students' perspective, every student was talking about the Bucks Steel Horns, especially Gu Ran.
All extracurricular activities for students have been cancelled these days, and no students are allowed to approach the training ground to avoid disturbing the training of the Bucks Steelhorns.
The GR fan club has expanded beyond the school. After watching Gu Ran’s short video, many girls from other schools have also made cheering light signs and sent them to the Southampton private school.
The girls from Southampton's private school had already covered the entire campus with slogans.
The confession wall on campus and the fence leading to the Bucks' home court are all covered with handsome photos of Gu Ran kicking the Crescent Moon Scimitar.
It can be said that Gu Ran has become an idol in the eyes of all Southampton students.
Even the teachers are talking about it.
There was a rumor among the teachers that Gu Ran was taken down by Teacher Maria.
This also gave many unmarried female teachers a glimmer of hope.
From the school's perspective, the school board is very satisfied with the results of this football championship. This is the first time that Southampton Private School has hosted the semi-finals of the National High School Championship at home since its establishment.
To this end, the school board and the parents' committee held a special meeting. The meeting decided that the school board would take the lead in funding, and the parents of the parents' committee would raise funds to renovate the turf of the home stadium of Southampton Private School.
In addition, 20,000 pounds of fireworks will be raised. If the Bucks Steelhorns win the semi-finals, the entire Bucks Steelhorns home court will set off fireworks for the first time in the school's history.
In return for the fundraising funds, Southampton Private School also agreed to open the campus on match days so that students and parents can come to watch the game and experience the football atmosphere of Southampton Private School.
At the Bucks' home stadium, except for the main stand, the other four stands are made of iron frames with rows of chairs, not standard seats. This type of iron frame stand can accommodate about 800 spectators, but there are 800 students in Southampton Private School alone, so the school is urgently customizing more iron frame stands.
But even if a few iron frames are added, it can probably only accommodate 1,200 spectators at most.
There is no way. If you want to watch the Milwaukee Bucks play, you have to do it on a first-come, first-served basis.
In addition, the school has received many interview requests from professional clubs and local media.
These requests were very formal and were communicated through official channels by fax.
These formal visit requests naturally need to be responded to and arranged in an official manner, and they must be invited to the main stand and allowed to be interviewed.
Among these visit requests, there was one from scouts at Everton Football Club - they naturally came to observe the Rosal High School Angel Wings team.
There are also scouts from small clubs in English League Two and English League One, such as Northampton Club, Brentford Club, Carlisle United Club, Portsmouth Club, Notts County Club, and Swindon Club.
They all came to the Final Four to seek gold.
The most important thing is the visit request from Chelsea Club's scouts and the visit request from Southampton Club's senior management.
