Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 522 Training Plan
During the off-season, the spring weather is great and it is a good time to lie down, party, daydream, do nothing, clear your mind, and travel around. It is not suitable for training or competition.

There is no doubt about this.

Levi was not going to miss the good spring time. Life should not only be about grappling and hitting, but also about poetry and distant places. But after the short vacation, Levi had other ideas.

In the just-concluded 2017 season, Levi gained a lot and grew a lot. The Super Bowl MVP is definitely an extra reward; at the same time, it opened his eyes and made him realize and understand a lot.

On the one hand, realize your own shortcomings.

For example, confrontation.

The Lynch training template did not bring immediate results in a short period of time. In order to avoid sacrificing his agility and speed advantages, he simply slowed down in the second half of the season, drastically reducing the time using the Lynch training template and focusing more on the Tomlinson training template.

However, the closer we get to the second half of the playoffs, the more we can feel the increasing intensity of the competition.

Although Levi is not planning to change his tactical style, he certainly can't become a running back like Henry and Lynch; but the training to improve his confrontation and resistance to blows cannot stop.

During the offseason, Lynch's training template should be picked up again.

On the other hand, realize that the challenges of the new season may be even more severe.

In fact, entering the second half of the regular season, Levi was able to clearly realize that those coaches had become more vigilant and focused on him. Although they kept saying that "rookies still need to prove themselves", they attached great importance to him tactically; and, he reached his peak on the Super Bowl stage.

However, this is only the first season.

Next season, other teams will pay more attention to him and have a better understanding of him. No one will take him lightly and may even send multiple players to defend him.

It's an honor.

Li Wei expressed his welcome, a warm welcome.

Mentally, he is ready; physically and technically, he also needs to catch up.

The first is to enhance the ability to confront; the second is to enrich your own weapons, including receiving the ball and passing the ball, so that you can become a multiple threat.

It is precisely because of this that this year's offseason is very important to Levi. In a sense, it is even more important than last year.

After all, last year, as a rookie who jumped out of a crack in the stone, no one took him seriously; but now, the whole league is paying attention to him and looking forward to his sophomore performance.

A fleeting meteor, or a star who can truly gain a foothold in the league?
Similarly, it is because of this that Levi realized the positive significance of LeVion Bell's training template.

In terms of technical style, Bale is undoubtedly unique in the league.

He is not the fastest nor the strongest nor the best in confrontation. Although he is not bad in all these aspects, if taken individually, he is not the best in the league; he has his own style.

"Stop, look, and then pass" is a joke made by fans about Bale's style.

From a professional perspective, Bell is a typical running back who strikes back. The league has always preferred running backs to engage in confrontation, either using change of direction and speed to tear open a gap like Peterson, or using force to break through the barrier like Henry. This is the traditional running back style; however, Bell is not like this. He always remains patient and calm, waiting for the defensive player to make a move first, waiting for a gap to appear, and then using his ability to seize the gap. In short, Bell's running gap is often not created by himself, but waited for.

Patience and calmness, these are the key words.

Thanks to this, Bale has maintained top competitive form for three consecutive seasons without facing serious injuries.

Perhaps, some people will complain that this is a sign of cowardice, because the essence of rugby lies in confrontation, and there is nothing great about Bale's style.

The fact is, it is not so.

Bale is able to remain patient and calm because he has the confidence to do so. Even if he strikes back, he can rely on his speed and strength to reverse the disadvantage and seize the fleeting gaps and loopholes to tear open the defense.

Although his individual talents are not top-notch, his overall abilities are undoubtedly top-notch.

In Levi's games, he would also observe the defensive formation to capture loopholes, but overall, his running style was closer to Peterson; in the playoffs, Levi also tried to strike back and rely on his personal ability to break the game with cleverness, but only he knew the difficulty of it.

If Levi can learn Bale's unique skills, he will have another skill added to his arsenal in the new season; but if not, what Levi is most curious about is Bale's vision.

Peterson's vision is keen on local details. It's not that it is narrow, but he is often accustomed to sticking to the defensive players and relying on his body to create squeezing, confrontation, and deterrence, and then capture the breakthrough gaps within his field of vision.

So, what about Bell?

Can Bale's signature "stop and look" technique help him see a wider and more comprehensive defensive formation? How can he find gaps and spaces in the ever-changing confrontation and then choose the correct way to break through?
At the same time, Levi was also curious whether Bell's running style put more demands on reading the defense, so that the running back's job requires more brain work in addition to physical confrontation, to play the game in a smarter and more resourceful way, and to minimize the load and damage to the running back's body.

Unfortunately, Levi’s knowledge of football in his previous life was close to zero. He really didn’t know what Bell’s future was like. Would he be troubled by injuries or would he enter the Hall of Fame?
It is worth noting that according to the system's judgment, Peterson's template is S-level, while Bell and Lynch are both A-level; but unlike Lynch, Bell is not yet 26 years old this year and still has countless possibilities in his career. Why can't the system rating go further?
Regardless, Bell's training template is an interesting new toy.

In addition to catching and passing the ball, Levi's main job as a running back still has room for improvement -

Levi still hasn't forgotten what Coach Shaban and Coach Burns said when he decided to participate in the draft. Although he has already occupied a top position in the NCAA, the intensity of competition in the professional arena is another story. He will face many challenges and needs to constantly improve himself.

By all accounts, this offseason should be a lot of fun.

Levi is already rubbing his hands and can't wait, he knows that there should be many running backs, defensive ends and linebackers in the league who are gritting their teeth and training with him as their target; but he will not rest either, looking forward to bringing surprises when they meet on the field in the new season, to see who will have the last laugh.

Of course, a vacation is still needed, but a training plan can be formulated.

Levi had just closed the system and was about to go out for a jog to sober up when the landline at home rang. Levi was not prepared to answer the call and went straight to his room to change clothes. He left the call to the answering machine and would reply when he returned from his jog. It shouldn't be urgent anyway.

"Hey, Levi, this is JJ, JJ-Watt..."

Wait, who?
