The first day of basketball training camp was over, and the coaches of the visiting group stayed in the stands throughout the day.
In fact, watching high-level athletes train is not a boring thing. On the contrary, many people will find it exciting and unfinished.
This is the same as watching game live broadcasts. The reason why people like to watch game live broadcasts is because those game anchors play well, especially some high-end games. Playing by yourself means giving away kills. At this time, watching high-level players How to win is also a kind of psychological satisfaction.
The same goes for watching the training of high-level athletes. Seeing others risk their lives on the training ground will give you a great sense of psychological satisfaction. Especially the kind of training program where many people are doing it at the same time, it is more like a lively game.
Laymen are really watching the fun, while insiders are watching the door. The coaches in the visiting group are all head coaches of provincial training teams, and they are well-informed. Although they are not professional basketball coaches, they can generally understand and analyze a lot of information by watching the entire training process.
For this group of professional coaches, the more they learn about it, the more they feel how powerful the AP training center is. Many people secretly bring their own players into this kind of training to simulate it.
"This is only the first day, and the intensity of training is already very high. If it were our domestic high school student athletes, if they continued practicing like this, they might make them vomit."
"This kind of training, let alone high school athletes, even adult athletes may practice lying down."
"Actually, you must have noticed that many American high school students participating in the training also behaved very uncomfortable."
While everyone was discussing, David Mills, the head of the AP Center, appeared in front of everyone again.
"Gentlemen, after a day of observation training, I think you must have gained a lot." David Mills continued: "Actually, today's training is just a simple beginning, and tomorrow's training will be even more exciting." It’s more complicated and more onerous.”
"Mr. Mills, I have a question." A coach who spoke relatively fluent English raised his hand and asked: "Do you think that this kind of intensity training is a bit too much for a high school student? I observed , when we just disbanded, everyone was very tired.”
"This is a good question." David Mills smiled and continued: "The purpose of our organization of this basketball training camp is to allow the players to better show themselves. Not only to show their strengths, but also to To expose shortcomings, we set up complex training for this purpose.”
David Mills continued: "Starting tomorrow, scouts or coaches from college teams will come here one after another. They want to understand every player as comprehensively as possible, so we must do our best. Let the athletes show their own characteristics, including their strengths and of course their weaknesses, and we will let every visitor know what the athletes are good at and observe what they are not good at.”
"Mr. Mills, I hear you say that the purpose of this basketball training camp is not to improve the athletes' strength?" the man just asked.
David Mills thought for a few seconds: "The purpose of most training camps is to improve the strength of athletes, but we are different. Our basketball training camp does not charge athletes fees. We don’t rely on this to make money, we have a sponsor, that is Adidas. For Adidas, what they need is to enhance their brand, not to train top athletes. Strictly speaking, Adidas is an employer, and we accept Employment must naturally achieve the employer's goals. Of course, I believe that gold will always shine, and excellent athletes can still improve here."
…
In the McDonald's near the AP training center, coaches gathered together, nibbling burgers and enjoying refillable Cokes.
"The medium Coke in the United States is as good as our large Coke. The chicken in this burger is so fried that my teeth can hardly chew it."
"This apple pie tastes pretty good. Eat it while it's hot. It's delicious."
"Calculating the price, it's still cheaper to eat at McDonald's. Just one piece of these chicken nuggets is as big as two pieces in China. I feel like I'll be full after eating just one piece."
"When we come out this time, we can save money as much as possible. Let's just make do with it!" the director who led the team said while wiping his hands with a napkin.
Xu Zhongyi leaned close to Li Dai's ear and said, "I saw a convenience supermarket on the way here just now. Let's go shopping and find some food later."
"What do you find in convenience stores in the United States? Do they have bread and ham?" Dai Li asked.
Xu Zhongyi had been to the United States. He replied in a low voice: "There are a lot of snacks, including instant noodles and donuts that can be eaten as food."
"Then I need some instant noodles." Li Dai said, emptied the Coca-Cola in the cup, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
…
At the sink, Dai Li washed his hands and was about to leave when he saw a middle-aged black woman looking at him from behind.
"It's him, the black woman I've met several times before!" Dai Li recognized the other person immediately.
The black woman came forward and said hello: "Hello, my name is Annie Hampton."
"Hello." Dai Li responded.
"Excuse me, are you a member of that foreign inspection team?" Anne Hampton then asked.
Dai Li nodded and admitted.
"So are you at the Adidas basketball training camp today?" Anne Hampton continued to ask.
"Yes." Dai Li nodded.
"Are you going tomorrow?" Anne Hampton asked again.
"Yes, according to the plan, I will stay there for a day tomorrow." Dai Li then asked: "How can I help you?"
"Sir, I would like to ask you to help me record the Adidas basketball training camp." Anne Hampton said, taking out an old-looking mobile phone.
"Why don't you go by yourself? This training camp is open to the public." Dai Li asked.
"I have three universities to go to tomorrow, so I don't have time to stay here." Anne Hampton replied.
"Then can you tell me why you want the video of the basketball training camp?" Dai Li asked warily.
Perhaps hearing the vigilance in Dai Li's tone, Anne Hampton said: "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I just want to record the training process for my son. My son can also go to the training camp." , but because of some things, I didn’t go.”
Anne Hampton spoke a little fast, and Dai Li didn't even understand it. He could only ask the other party to say it again, and then he understood everything.
"Mom, so you are here!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind, and a young black man walked over.
He was very young, looking to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a shaved head and was less than 1.8 meters tall, but he was very strong. The muscle lines on his arms were very obvious. At the same time, Dai Li noticed that he had a tattoo.
"This is my son, Allen Hampton." Annie introduced.
"Allen Hampton! Is that the genius that reporters call him?" Li Dai subconsciously looked at the opponent and used the detector at the same time.
The next second, Dai Li was shocked by the detection results.
"Basketball talent is S! Football talent is S! A cross-sport double S-level talent athlete, this is the first time I have seen such an athlete! This is really a sports genius!
