I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 156: Not dead at the grave

Early in the morning, Li Ang's phone rang.

"No sir, even if I become a member, the delivery won't be so fast, right?"

Li Ang answered the phone with some surprise. As soon as the person on the other end said "hi", his brain worked quickly and he recognized the voice. It was the top American team manager whom Sheila brought him to meet at the dinner last time, Austria. El Sad.

"I'm calling to ask, do you have time to come over to participate in the team's training recently? I know it's a little difficult for you to handle schoolwork and ask for leave, but I hope you can come over as soon as possible. After all, this is a very important event. valuable opportunity."

"I can come over at any time. Regarding my studies, I have already completed the formalities for suspending my studies."

Li Ang answered without hesitation.

Orsad on the other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised by Li Ang's answer. It was quite courageous for a high school student to make such a decision.

The evaluation of Li Ang in my heart could not help but be raised a few points.

"If that's the case, that would be great. I hope you can come over as soon as possible."

During the phone call, the two also communicated about issues such as time and location.

Orsad has decided to give Li Ang a place to participate in the Tour of California. Although he has a certain understanding of his basic strength, he naturally hopes that he can receive more professional training and give his best performance as much as possible. good grade.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ang's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

It has been a while since he last participated in a bicycle race. These days, since he got a car, he has spent much less time riding. Now when he heard the news, he was really a little excited.

This sport was also the first sport he participated in competitions, and it was also the skill that he improved the fastest at first. However, until now, the progress has lagged behind.

Li Ang directly booked a flight for this evening without much hesitation.

However, this time when he went out for training, Li Ang had no intention of taking Katina with him.

First of all, she has been busy with her studies recently, and the other is that he is not a big star, and he still needs to shoot videos every day for daily life training and the like. These things can be exempted, and it can be regarded as a holiday for her.

After calling her and expressing her thoughts, Katina said it didn't matter. She still had some video archives in hand to cope with the updates during this period.

Just talking about these, Li Ang suddenly thought of a video, which is very suitable for release now.

"You mean, I post the video of you using a sniper rifle to blow up the chamber?"

"Yes, that's it."

This video was originally intended to show off this relatively rare sniper rifle by Li Ang.

But after the bombing incident, it added another layer of interest to this video.

Besides, since I've become like this, it would be reasonable not to update the video in the next few days.

Ever since, Li Ang was practicing shooting at the shooting range, and the video of the sniper rifle exploding was quickly posted online.

After notifying Katina here, Li Ang also told Silla the news. After all, it was she who introduced this opportunity to him.

After learning that Li Ang was on a flight this evening, Silla also said that it was such a pity, otherwise she could have come over to stay with him for the last time.

Obviously, Li Ang underestimated the power of his video. In the past few hours, Li Ang had just gone out, and Katina called him and sent him several screenshots of the data.

Li Ang went up and took a look. The number of views, comments and likes of this video, which had just been released a few hours ago, actually exceeded many of the videos he had posted many days ago.

In terms of the growth rate of views, even if the video of Li Ang slapping him to win the Ultimate Challenge was tripled, it would not be able to match it.

Just clicking into the comments and taking a look, the contents made him somewhat dumbfounded.

First of all, the most popular people are those who are interested in "burning incense" and "eating seats". Those who are a little creative will say "May there be no Barrett in heaven". This group of viewers are basically a group of people who come here to watch the fun.

Maybe you know a little bit about Li Ang, or maybe you don't know anything at all. It's just like watching a collection of unlucky guys.

However, Li Ang also has a group of real fans. His current number of fans has exceeded 100,000, and he can be considered a small Internet celebrity.

These fans are basically attracted by his physical performance, including those who are involved in cycling, Chinese kung fu, and slap competitions.

Most people are concerned about his current situation and whether his life can be saved.

There are also true fans who are already planning to raise donations for him. I don’t know if they are true fans or just using this name to defraud money.

There are also more professional people who are seriously discussing and analyzing this video.

"The gun used by Li Ang is the Barrett M82A1 anti-materiel sniper rifle. The characteristic of this gun is its huge power. But similarly, the power of the gun will naturally increase after the chamber is exploded. In my opinion, the author is It’s more dangerous than bad.”

"As far as I know about most cases of sniper rifle explosions, it can only be said that very few survive. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be seriously injured and have to lie in the hospital for at least half a year."

"I wonder if you noticed that he just pulled the trigger and the second before the chamber exploded, his body seemed to subconsciously make a dodge movement. Did Li Ang already know that the chamber would explode in the next moment?"

"Indeed, if it weren't for this dodge, his chance of death would have increased by at least twenty points. Of course, the possibility of surviving is still low."

"Maybe it's a superpower? Like Spider-Man's spider sense."

"It's not that mysterious. Friends who practice martial arts often know that masters with profound kung fu will have this sense of danger in their bodies."

Of course, the most exciting thing is the battle scene between true fans and negative fans.

"Damn it, I finally found someone who can actually fight and practice Chuanwu, and the person is just gone like this? Isn't this a conspiracy by the Yankees?"

"It's indeed possible. Even if you don't die in the end, your vitality will definitely be severely damaged, and it may be difficult to improve your skills in the future."

"I want to laugh when I see you martial arts fans. Can those things on TV be taken seriously? Even if he doesn't die this time, sooner or later he will be beaten to death in the ring by a martial arts practitioner."

"Just the fact that the two words Chuanwu and being able to fight are linked together makes me laugh."

"If you watch a few more videos, you will know whether he can beat him or not. Can't you see that a man weighing three to four hundred pounds was slapped to the ground by him?"

"It's so funny. Who knows if it's a script, but it's just an unpopular little competition."

"That is, with a figure like his, he can knock down a person weighing three to four hundred pounds with one slap. Only you brainless fans will believe it."

In short, the higher the popularity, the more people will comment, and the same is true for the following controversy. But correspondingly, the more controversy there is, the more popular Li Ang's video will be, and he can be said to have a good handle on traffic.

In the Hunyuan Martial Arts Hall, a coach was watching YouTube for a while in his spare time. Because he followed Li Ang, he easily came across this video.

"Come here and take a look, something seems to have happened to Coach Li."

As soon as these words came out, students and coaches, whether they were in class or not, all gathered around.

"what's the situation?"

"What's wrong with Coach Li? Please speak clearly!"

Most of the coaches present witnessed the last incident when Li Ang helped them defeat the Koreans who came to play in the gym, and all of them admired Li Ang's skills.

And those students, who had heard more or less about Li Ang's achievements, were very curious about him.

At everyone's urging, the coach also directly projected the video onto the big screen in the venue.

In the picture, Li Ang was holding an extremely beautiful sniper rifle, seemingly shooting at the shooting range. But soon, the moment he fired, the chamber exploded, and the picture on the screen was immediately swept away by the explosion. Covered by the smoke and dust raised, Katina's scream sounded at the same time.

After watching this video, everyone fell silent, and the few people who were laughing and joking just now also restrained themselves.

"When did this happen?" Wu Song asked in a suppressed voice with a face as deep as water.

At first, he was indeed a little jealous of Li Ang's talent, but as the number of sparring sessions increased, his admiration for Li Ang also increased.

Then, when Li Ang took action last time, he already worshiped Li Ang like a mountain. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a martial arts genius.

"I'm not sure, but the video was just posted today."

Bore explosion incidents are naturally not a rare thing in the United States, which has such a high number of firearms. And even people who don’t know anything about it can probably understand the power of this Barrett M82A1 anti-material sniper rifle just by looking at it. How big.

"By the way, Coach Wu, don't you have his phone number? I'll give you a call and we'll find out."

Wu Song just woke up from a dream. Thinking of this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Ang's number.

At this moment, the whole place fell silent, waiting for Li Ang's call to be answered.

However, the situation was not satisfactory and the phone call could not be reached at all.

The current atmosphere has become increasingly heavy because of this.

"Coach Wu, do you know Coach Li's home address? How about we go take a look when we have time?"

"Oh, yes, he filled it out when he applied for the job."

Even Yan Tianqi, who was reading management books in the office, had a complicated expression after learning the news.

Although he did lose face last time and paid Li Ang to come and help, he still made a key contribution to this martial arts gym. Although he didn't expect him to do well, in fact he didn't. Don't want this to happen to him.

At this time, Li Ang had successfully boarded the plane, and his mobile phone was set to airplane mode. If the call could be connected, it would be a ghost. Likewise, if you go to his house to look for him, you are bound to find nothing.

After randomly choosing a hotel to stay for one night, Li Ang arrived at the team base early the next morning.

As soon as Li Ang entered the base, he turned heads. Whether it was the security guard at the door, the cleaning workers, or the reserve team members who were training, everyone was staring at him as if they had discovered a new world.

This is normal, after all, including the staff, Li Ang is the first Chinese to come to the base.

In the current situation, the strength of domestic domestic riders is quite limited, and it is even difficult to single out a single player to participate in the Tour de France among the 1.4 billion people in the country.

Not to mention that we are in the United States now, and the number of Chinese people is not large. Under this situation, one can imagine how low the probability is that a young man who is qualified to join their team will appear.

When they saw Li Ang, it was as if a foreigner suddenly came to their company. It was reasonable to watch him for a while.

Walking to the inner venue, Li Ang once again enjoyed the experience of having the entire audience focused on him.

But for him now, he has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, and he doesn't feel nervous at all.

The reason why people have a nervous state of mind is basically because of "worry", fear that they will not do well, not knowing what others will think of them, being unable to predict what is about to happen, etc.

And when you have enough confidence, when you don't care about these people or things at all, your nervousness will naturally be eliminated.

"Are you the new team member? Li?"

"I've seen your information on the notice. Judging from your achievements, you are indeed quite capable of joining our team."

Most people didn't pay much attention to his arrival. After taking a look, they quickly continued to focus on their own training.

There are also a small number of people who seem not to be too friendly towards Li Ang from the beginning.

The reason for this part is quite simple, either because of the prejudice of grades and age, or because of the prejudice of skin color, or because of the hostility that one's own interest space is about to be squeezed.

Of course, there are two who are quite enthusiastic about him.

"Hi, Li, I have studied in China before. Nice to meet you. My name is Leif."

This blond young man with glasses who looked a little quiet was the first to come up and shake hands with him.

In addition, there was a woman with healthy wheat-colored skin, an athletic figure, and full of wild beauty. From the moment he came in, she had been staring at him, from head to toe, and from bottom to top.

Her looks and figure are considered to be quite outstanding on the street, let alone in this fleet where there are few women.

"Hello, my name is Moira."

Needless to say, her enthusiasm made those people who already had prejudices against Li Ang become more prejudiced.

Manager Orsad knew that Li Ang was coming today, so he came here specially, gave everyone a brief introduction, and held a brief meeting.

"Li Ang, for now you can just do the same training as everyone else."

Li Ang nodded and observed how everyone practiced indoors.

There are two main aspects of exercise. One is the strength training of lower limb muscles and the improvement of power limit, and the other is the exercise of cardiopulmonary capacity.

Seeing Li Ang looking a little at a loss, Leif also enthusiastically asked Li Ang whether he had used these training equipment before.

Li Ang shook his head. His exercise on the bicycle was indeed simple riding. He had never seen any of these various training equipment specifically for professional cyclists, let alone used them.

Li Ang had never practiced any of them, which really surprised Leif. In his opinion, since the manager let him join their team, he must have recognized his strength, but he had never used any of these professional trainings. The method is indeed a bit strange.

The few people nearby immediately withdrew their attention after learning the news. Obviously, they felt that wild players like Li Ang were not qualified to occupy their attention.

"This instrument is designed to train your cycling output, but it can also test your cycling output."

As if he was afraid that Li Ang wouldn't understand, Leif continued to explain:
"Cycling power output is force multiplied by speed. It can be simply regarded as the force you exert on the pedal multiplied by the speed of the turntable rotation."

"In other words, either increase your strength or increase your speed, both of which increase power output."

Although Li Ang knew all these basic knowledge, but to show respect, Li Ang still listened to his explanation patiently.

"We will conduct regular output power tests later to judge everyone's training results during this period. You can also join in. There are no skills in using this thing. You just need to pedal hard on it."

"This is to exercise leg strength."

When she came to the squat rack, Moira took a special look at Li Ang, then squatted down with a 140kg barbell. The amazing curvature of her buttocks was definitely not something that those women who take pictures in the gym every day can achieve. .

Leif briefly told Li Ang some of the commonly used exercise methods.

"In addition, we will go outside for cycling training in the afternoon, and starting tomorrow, we will officially start the last training cycle before the competition."

"Thank you for your explanation. I know a lot better now."

"You're welcome, then I'm going to train."

Although Leif liked Li Ang for the first time, he was still not optimistic about his prospects.

Scientific training is almost indispensable in the professional player system. If he has not received this training, it means that he has fallen far behind from the beginning. If he wants to catch up, he will have to work harder. OK.

However, which professional athlete is not working hard? No matter how hard you work, there is an upper limit to the training you can complete every day. Once you fall behind on some things, players at the same level will never be able to catch up. This is cruel, but also very realistic.

Even though Li Ang is extremely talented, who among the people present is not a one-in-a-million genius?
Being able to join the only two intercontinental professional teams in the United States, talent is just the entry threshold.

After listening to the explanation, Li Ang randomly selected some equipment and tried it out for a while, but soon the coach gave the order to assemble.

"Everyone, come here and test the output power. Those who are lazy, you can fool others, but you can't fool your own body."
