Chapter 20 I'll Bite You to Death
"I hope you can stick with your training no matter how hard it is."
"I...I'll try my best..."
Nie Chuan always felt that the training plan formulated by Reese must be cruel and inhumane. He could imagine himself with a rope tied to his body, and the other end of the rope was connected to a truck. He had to pull the truck forward, and Reese would whip him from time to time.
Reese turned his head, raised the corners of his lips, and said with his usual cold and sharp aura: "You try your best?"
"I will! Haha, I will stick to it to the end!"
Reese ignored Nie Chuan's cowardly look and said, "Let's not talk about your dribbling strength and speed first. You must train your lower body first. Frog jumps can increase the strength of your thighs and are also very effective in training the tendon groups in your calves."
Nie Chuan recalled the time in middle school when he forgot to hand in his homework and was punished by his teacher to do frog jumps on the playground. That feeling... was like hell!
Nie Chuan immediately combined the image of Reese and the harsh head teacher into one.
But what Nie Chuan didn't expect was that Reese was not a bystander, but was doing it with him.
Reese drove him to the warehouse where they had practiced dribbling together before.
Nie Chuan thought that this would be a one-sided abuse on his part, but he did not expect that Reese would stand in front of him and teach him the correct frog jump movements.
"Open your legs to shoulder width, squat down completely, and when you exert force, your heels must be completely off the ground, and move forward with the greatest strength and fastest speed. Remember, you must use the right force every time you jump out. You don't need to rush, you just need to do it right. This way you won't waste the energy you spend. Do you understand?"
There was no ups and downs in Reese's voice, but there was an inexplicable sense of authority.
"clear……"
Nie Chuan put his hands behind his back and just as he squatted down, he didn't expect Reese to squat down next to him.
"Pay attention to your breathing. Let's dance half a circle around the basketball court first."
When Reese led Nie Chuan to take the first leap, all the complaints Nie Chuan had about him seemed to disappear suddenly.
Reese's jump was very powerful, and Nie Chuan beside him could feel the tension in his muscles.
He didn't jump very hard, but each jump was much farther than Nie Chuan.
Basically, Reese had to stop after jumping two steps and wait for Nie Chuan to catch up with him in the third step.
Nie Chuan always thought that frog jumps were really ugly, but Reese's frog jumps were very beautiful.
It seems that there is really unfairness between people!
Even the frog jump reflects the gap between the two, he is a clown and Reese is a noble.
Nie Chuan's legs started to ache after jumping a quarter of the way and he was about to lose his balance, so he couldn't hold on any longer. However, Reese was clearly very comfortable with the jump and had no problem jumping a full circle around the basketball court.
When Nie Chuan fell back to the ground and slapped his legs, he was worried that Reese would scold him, but he didn't expect Reese to just come back and stand beside him, waiting for his muscles to relax.
Nie Chuan originally thought that a gifted child like Reese would be very impatient. When he looked ahead, he would not hesitate to throw away anyone who couldn't keep up with him.
But Nie Chuan was wrong, Reese seemed to be very good at waiting.
Until Nie Chuan's legs relaxed, he pretended to be still sore and frowned, but Reese put his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants and looked at him coldly.
“My time can be occupied, but it must never be wasted.”
Hearing this, Nie Chuan could only stand up with a bitter face and continue to practice frog jumps with Reese.
When Nie Chuan followed Reese and danced around the basketball court for a whole week, Reese just kicked his legs leisurely to relax, while Nie Chuan sat down on the ground.
When Nie Chuan felt that his legs had finally recovered, Reese led him to do rapid and continuous high jumps for nearly half an hour.
Reese's jump is elastic, and the release of power gives people a genuine sense of refreshment.
Nie Chuan imitated him and jumped up, following the rhythm of Reese's high-five.
Reese's height allows him to dunk easily, but Nie Chuan has to struggle to touch the rim.
According to Reese's rules, Nie Chuan had to jump up as quickly and efficiently as possible within a period of ten seconds.
In the first ten minutes or so, Nie Chuan did it very seriously, but later on, he found that Reese's high-five rhythm was getting faster and faster, and he couldn't keep up at all, so he simply slowed down to kill time.
He jumped up mechanically, and he didn't know when Reese stopped high-fiving.
Nie Chuan panted and turned around, while Reese looked at him coldly with his hands in his pockets, and a chill instantly ran down his spine.
"What...what happened?"
"Isn't it meaningless to do this exercise if you don't give it your all every time?"
"...Okay, I know." Nie Chuan was really tired, and this kind of practice was very boring. Even if he played some music or watched a movie or TV series, it would at least divert his attention. But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to fear Reese. "But I'm very tired. Maybe in your opinion, I did a bad job... But this level is the height I can reach with my all..."
"Okay, after you let your muscles relax, we'll move on to the next round of exercises."
What... there's another round?
Nie Chuan looked at Reese in surprise. In fact, he didn't even want to stand up and walk now.
If he hadn't agreed to meet Coach Gordon, he should have been sleeping in at home today, eating steamed buns, holding a chocolate bar and playing games! Living a life of drunkenness and dreaming is what he dreams of!
Now it's just self-abuse!
Nie Chuan really wanted to tell Reese that not everything you can do requires others to do it too! Not everything you love does not mean I have to love it too!
"What's wrong? Do you regret agreeing to this training?" Reese's eyes fell on Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan wanted to answer no, but he couldn't say it because he was really holding back his anger.
Reese bent down and looked straight into Nie Chuan's eyes.
"Have you ever given your all to something?" Reese turned his head, light and shadow cutting the edge like a knife. "It still takes effort to achieve it, so you just tell yourself that you don't need it? When you feel tired, you say you have tried your best?"
What Reese said was actually not serious, just like a teacher educating a lazy student.
Nie Chuan glared at Reese fiercely. He really hated his self-righteousness and the way he imposed his will on others.
"You look like you hate me."
Reese leaned down, his eyes were calm, and he didn't take Nie Chuan's hatred seriously at all.
"Hit me? Bite me? Or get out?"
Nie Chuan was too close to Risli, so close that he could even count his eyelashes.
This cold and handsome face once again deeply stimulated Nie Chuan. All the expectations that Serin had when facing Reese flashed through his mind, as well as Reese's slam dunk on him that resounded through the sky, not to mention the abuse that he was now giving under the name of "training".
Even if he needs training, Nie Chuan can refer to the training tutorials himself! He can enroll in a special basketball school! He can even let Carlo train him!
Why you, Reese Reddington?
Do you think you are an authority?
Why do you think you can be the master of his life?
This is not the life that Nie Chuan wants at all!
Anger rushed from all directions of the body to the top of the head, causing something to happen that Nie Chuan himself had not expected.
He was originally sitting on the ground exhausted, and he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly jumped up and bit Reese's right forearm with lightning speed!
I can't beat you! I'm not willing to just get out of here! I'll bite you to death!
The tips of Nie Chuan's teeth sank into Reese's skin. That was the hardest bite Nie Chuan had ever made in his life!
Reese's shoulders paused slightly, but he stood there motionless.
And Nie Chuan finally tasted the blood.
The impulse was extinguished in an instant, and he realized... he was finished!
He opened his mouth and took a step back foolishly.
What would Reese do to him? Beat him to death?
Nie Chuan recalled how Reese easily subdued the captain of the football team in the school's Asian restaurant, and thought of himself...all his bones would be crushed by Reese!
Nie Chuan took a step to the side with his left leg, ready to dodge Reese and escape from here if something went wrong!
But Reese didn't seem to feel any pain at all. He just lowered his head and looked indifferently at the two rows of teeth marks on his forearm.
The more silent he was, the more uneasy Nie Chuan became.
It's like the calm before the storm.
Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva, and the taste of Reese's blood filled his throat, as if burning his body.
Reese finally moved, and swung his arms. Every time he swung, Nie Chuan would shrug his shoulders, fearing that Reese would punch him in the face.
But Reese just walked off the field, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, poured the water on his wound, then opened the first aid kit that had been prepared long ago, disinfected it with hydrogen peroxide, and wrapped a bandage around his forearm.
During the whole process, Nie Chuan stood there and watched in a daze.
Reese did not turn around, but said in a calm tone: "Nie Chuan, not everyone has the talent you have, don't waste it."
Nie Chuan was stunned. Isn't Reese angry?
Most importantly, this was the first time since he was a child that someone said he was talented in some aspect.
"You can think about giving up a million times. Of course, it's okay if you just think about it, as long as you don't really give up."
Nie Chuan's eyes suddenly felt sore.
"If you want to stop here, you can go now."
Nie Chuan looked at the other person's back and suddenly couldn't move forward.
“But if you choose to stay, don’t back down.”
Nie Chuan licked his teeth subconsciously. He really wanted to ask what Reese's muscles were made of. His tooth sockets were hurting so much.
"Is there any other way to increase my explosive power?"
When Nie Chuan asked this question, he felt that he must have Stockholm syndrome!
