Chapter 6 Trial Training
On the 12th, He Zhongqiu got up at five o'clock as usual. After washing his face with cold water, he started to practice the three-body stance in the narrow room.

"Drop your shoulders and tuck your chin in, and pull your hips in."

"Your hips are a little too tight. Pull your buttocks in a little bit. Remember to relax them. Relax but not slack off."

In front of his eyes, a prompt would occasionally pop up on the virtual panel. This was the error correction function of the sports fitness system, which would teach him how to practice and correct his mistakes at any time.

"Proficiency of the Three-Body Stance Training +1."

About thirty minutes later, a line of light red virtual text flashed before his eyes.

This is the second function of the system, which provides proficiency. When a certain level of proficiency is accumulated, the skills will be promoted and his physical fitness will be improved.

Through his research, he found that as long as he gained proficiency, his kung fu would not deteriorate even if he did not practice for a long time.

Of course, this is only the current situation. We don’t know what will happen in the future. There may be degradation, but the speed will be slower.

His Three Body Style is now at level four, the Grandmaster realm, above which is perfection. It requires five thousand proficiency points to advance, and he has only accumulated a fraction of that.

He practiced until 6:10 and achieved the second level of proficiency, then stopped.

After stretching his body for a while, he began to practice the Eagle Claw moves.

Eagle Claw Kung Fu is not the external martial arts as rumored in the legend, but a martial art that cultivates both internal and external skills. It belongs to the Xiangxing boxing, which is derived from the Fanzi boxing. It can feel the pulse by touching the clothes, separate the tendons and bones, press the acupoints and hold the breath. There are twelve movements of boxing and fifty continuous punches.

The so-called walking boxing belongs to the internal martial arts of Eagle Claw Kung Fu. Walking and breathing is a kind of boxing that seeks strength. When practicing internal martial arts, you must practice strength. If you don’t practice strength, it will be all in vain when you get old.

Therefore, practicing boxing is a method of training, and if you practice it well, you will benefit both inside and outside.

The so-called continuous punches are chain punches, which belong to the fighting style. Each style of boxing has its own continuous punches. Eagle Claw Kung Fu also has fifty continuous punches, which is said to be derived from the Yue style Sanshou created by Yue Fei.

After practicing the two sets of boxing techniques repeatedly, by almost seven o'clock, he had gained a total of two proficiency points.

In addition to the moves, there are other ways to practice Eagle Claw, mainly hand skills, with an emphasis on finger strength training, but I don’t have time to practice.

"Duoduo."

"Mid-Autumn, are you up?"

There was a knock on the door and Xia Song shouted outside.

"coming."

He quickly responded.

The two had just finished their burgers when Lewis came over.

After driving for seventy minutes, at 8:45, the three arrived at the town of Tully and came to the Knicks' training base.

When getting off the bus, Lewis complained: "The most annoying thing about the Knicks is that the training base is too far away and it is too troublesome for the players to commute.

Most of their players can only live in this town, otherwise it would take more than two hours to commute to downtown New York."

Twenty minutes later, in the team president's office, the three finally met the Knicks' current team president and general manager, Scott Layden, and the team's head coach Don Cheney.

Layden is in his early forties. Although he is not old, he has sufficient experience. He started working as a scout and assistant coach for the Jazz at the age of twenty-one. He personally selected the black and white duo of John Stockton and Karl Malone.

He was later promoted to director of basketball operations and vice president of the Jazz. He left the Jazz in 99 and became the interim general manager of the Knicks. Now he is the chairman and general manager of the Knicks and holds great power.

But in the past few years with the Knicks, he did not have the outstanding results he had with the Jazz. This year, the Knicks he managed were selected as the worst team in the sports world by ESPN.

As a result, he is now distrusted by his boss James Dolan and urgently needs to make some achievements to avoid being fired.

Head coach Don Cheney, a black man who is almost 60 years old, has a long coaching career but his coaching results are not very good. He has not coached for six years and was hired by Layden last season.

After taking a look at He Zhongqiu, Leiden looked at the information provided by Lewis in his hand. There was very little information and he couldn't see anything.

The reason why he agreed to a tryout with Lewis was because he couldn't trade for a good center at the moment, from players who were ready to play to potential players, so he contacted many scouts to try his luck. "Scott, the physical test has been arranged." Head coach Don Cheney said.

"Then go now."

Layden and Don Cheney put on their coats and took Lewis and three others to the equipment room.

The air conditioner was on inside, and it was turned up very high, so everyone took off their coats as soon as they went in.

Some Knicks players were in the equipment room. When they saw a big guy coming in, everyone looked over.

In particular, the three center players who were lifting weights all took a special look at He Zhongqiu.

The current main center of the Knicks is Othella Harrington, who was selected in the second round in 96. She is 1 cm tall, 206 kg, and 107 years old.

He played as a backup center last season, but this season there was no one available, so he took on the position of main center. Since the new season, he has averaged 25 minutes, 7.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks per game, which is the level of a third-rate center.

There are also two backup centers, Tyrese Knight, a role player who is facing retirement due to serious injury, and Michael Doleac, a role player who was the 98th pick in the first round of 12.

The team had been looking for a center, and when they saw Layden and Don Cheney come in with a big yellow-skinned guy, the three centers knew what was going on.

Knight didn't react. He was going to retire after this season, so it didn't matter if he was laid off now. He would still get the remaining salary anyway.

Only Harrington and Doriac were somewhat averse to He Zhongqiu, but they had neither strength nor status and had no influence in the team. Even if the team signed this big man and took away their playing time, they would have no way to deal with it.

Because he was not sure whether to keep He Zhongqiu, Layden did not introduce his identity and asked several trainers to come and do physical tests on him.

The static data came out quickly, and Leiden took a look at the data sheet and nodded: "Shoe height 213 cm, weight 115 kg, arm span 222 cm, reach 285 cm.

Very good, with his height and wingspan, he can definitely play center. What we need is a center, not a power forward. "

"Although he weighs 115 kilograms, he looks very thin and I'm worried that he doesn't have enough strength," said Don Cheney.

As an agent, Xia Song immediately explained: "Mr. Layden, Coach Cheney, He only looks thin, but his strength is very good, and he should be top-notch in the NBA."

"is it?"

Leiden looked at He Zhongqiu. This young man from China did not look very strong and his muscles were not obvious. He frowned and suspected that Xia Song was lying to him.

But he couldn't understand why he could weigh 115 kilograms without strong muscles? If someone else weighed this much, they would definitely have strong muscles.

"Then let's give him a strength test first." Tang Cheney didn't believe it either, and said immediately.

"OK."

Several trainers immediately began to prepare, starting with an 84kg bench press.

"I bet, five times at most. The yellow race doesn't have much stamina. Just look at that No. 1 draft pick." said Harrington who was watching the fun.

"The other two yellow guys can no longer play ball, and I think this yellow guy is also trash." Doriak said.

He Zhongqiu didn't understand, and Xia Song, who could understand, wouldn't tell him what these people were talking about, for fear of disturbing his physical examination.

"Zhongqiu, warm up first and move your body before doing it. Do it as many times as you can." Xia Song reminded.

"Brother Xia, I have never practiced this before. How do I do it?" He Zhongqiu asked.

Xia Song was stunned, and immediately remembered that He Zhongqiu not only had not received professional basketball training, but also had not received professional strength training.

He immediately said, “It’s simple, you lie on it and push that barbell up.”

"Ah."

He nodded and began to practice Eagle Claw.
