Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For most people, imaginary setbacks are far less impressive than real setbacks. An unforgettable setback can often completely change a person.  So if you want to be truly successful, you have to experience setbacks.  ¡ª¡ªLu Sen

    *

    At night, the basketball hall of Huapu Middle School was brightly lit. The loss to Changning Middle School was a big blow to the team. Everyone was aware of their shortcomings. Therefore, when Lu Sen announced the additional training plan, no one  The team members objected.

    All team members, from the rebellious Song Xuguang to the cunning Wei Chao, carefully practiced offensive and defensive tactics in accordance with Lu Sen's requirements.

    The ten players on the field were divided into two teams: the main team and the substitute team. The point guard on the main team was Lu Sen, and the substitute team was first-year player Lu Guang.  According to Lu Sen's request, the defensive side first adopts half-court man-to-man defense, and the offensive point guard issues tactical instructions. After the attack is completed, regardless of success or failure, the next offensive point guard must respond to his own team's  The defense made corresponding adjustments, and after these two attacks, the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

    Lu Guang has never played the role of a team commander in a game. During the offensive and defensive drills, the substitute team made frequent offensive mistakes and the defense was riddled with holes. However, he won every time and the level of tactical coordination improved very quickly.  After experiencing the game against Changning Middle School, the main team's understanding of tactics has made gratifying progress. Under Lu Sen's command, each set of tactics will become more impressive the second time they are played.

    *

    During the training break, Yang Lin said to Lu Sen with emotion: "I'm beginning to feel that our loss to Changning this time was a blessing in disguise. The fact that our teammates trained so seriously has something to do with this defeat."

    "If Teacher Duan hadn't demanded that this game must be won, I would have led the team to lose more cleanly. The benefits of losing this game are far greater than the benefits of winning it." Lu Sen said.

    Yang Lin sneered: "Okay, stop talking about it. You are just thinking about it later. If you keep talking about it, you will probably say that you expected that the teacher would not let you get out of class after losing."

    "Let me tell you a story," Lu Sen began to narrate slowly without arguing, "Once upon a time, there was a young man who loved basketball very much. That year, when he was 15 years old, the high school he attended was conducting school team selection. He thought  I should be selected, so I participated.¡±

    "Don't say this is your own story." Yang Lin smiled.

    Lu Sen waved his hand and continued: "He was less than 1.8 meters tall at that time, his shooting level was average, and his defensive ability was mediocre. If I had to say that he had any outstanding advantages, it would be his concentration and hard work."

    "I'm becoming more and more suspicious that you are making up your own story." Yang Lin interrupted.

    "It is indeed difficult for such a sophomore in high school to attract the attention of the coach. In fact, in that school, there are very few examples of sophomores being selected for the first team of the school team. So, on the day the rankings were released, his name was without any suspense.  His name did not appear on the first team of the school team. Fortunately, he was selected for the second team of the school team."

    "Isn't that great?" Yang Lin asked.

    "However, this school team is actually a small team, and they are very short of a big player. It just so happens that this boy's friend, Leroy Smith, who is also a second-year boy, is actually 2  meters, so the coach selected Smith to the first team.¡±

    "This is normal. I would do the same thing if it were me." Yang Lin pouted.

    "But the boy was deeply hit. He thought that position should be his." Lu Sen continued, "He ran home and cried in the bedroom. He swore that he would never let such a thing happen again. In the future.  Whenever he was in trouble, he would close his eyes and imagine his name on that list being replaced by Smith."

    "This kid sounds like he has obsessive-compulsive disorder." Yang Lin sighed.

    "In fact, this is indeed an important reason for his success. He uses every setback and injury he suffers, whether real or imagined, as motivation to move forward. He is very good at  He made up or exaggerated some setbacks to keep himself motivated. Later, he finally became a world-famous basketball superstar." Lu Sen spread his hands to indicate that he was finished.

    "That is to say, setbacks can be a huge motivation for hard work. If you have setbacks, you have to go up. If there are no setbacks, you have to go up even if you create setbacks?" Yang Lin said clearly.

    "Yes, but for most people, imaginary setbacks are far less impressive than real setbacks. An unforgettable setback can often completely change a person. So if you want to achieve real success, everyone must experience setbacks  , the same goes for the team." Lu Sen concluded.

    "Who is that boy?" Yang Lin asked curiously.

      "His name was Mike Jordan at the time, and later he changed his name to Michael." Lu Sen said calmly.

    "Holy crap!" Yang Lin was stunned, "It turns out His Majesty the Flying Man also had such an experience!"

    *

    After the tactical drill, Lu Sen gathered his team members and announced a decision that surprised everyone: "Attention, everyone, I will arrange targeted training programs for each team member. Today we will mainly explain the specific content of each training. These trainings  Everyone must complete it consciously in normal times, and there will no longer be targeted training in team training in the future.¡±

    The team members immediately started talking, and several people headed by Wei Chao expressed dissatisfaction: "Complete it in normal times? Doesn't that take up our own time? Isn't it appropriate!"

    Seeing that there were only a few opponents, Lu Sen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Some people may not know that the Changning Middle School team that just defeated us had a practice session with the Affiliated Middle School of Yunda University a few days ago.  In that game, the Affiliated Squadron of Yunda University first used a substitute lineup to allow Changning to score more than 20 points, and then replaced the main force. Without using all its strength, it only took more than ten minutes to overtake the score.  "

    The expressions of the team members were quite exciting, some frowned, some were dumbfounded, and some covered their mouths.  They could not imagine that the powerful Changning Middle School team was so vulnerable to the High School Affiliated to Yunda University!

    "Our goal is to win the city championship. If we want to win the championship, we must defeat the High School Affiliated to Yunda University, but now we can't even beat Changning! We have the potential to win the championship, but everyone's efforts are also very important! The training time is very limited, and we cannot take advantage of it.  Make time for targeted training, so you must complete these trainings consciously on a daily basis. If you can complete these trainings as required, your abilities will improve a lot."

    "The training arranged by Lu Sen is more effective than you imagine. Whoever is lazy will definitely be surpassed by others, so if anyone plans to be lazy, I guarantee that he will lose the opportunity to play! I hope everyone can complete it consciously and even take the initiative to participate in the training."  Practice!" Yang Lin stood up and emphasized.

    Everyone calmed down. Lu Sen took the pre-made form from Fang Bo and read aloud: "The following will announce everyone's training items. Wei Chao, endurance training, strength training; Song Xuguang, bounce training, coordination.  Sex training, running to catch the ball and quick release training; Liang Tianjian, strength training, jumping training, reaction speed training; Guan Mengyue, jumping training, coordination and balance training, left hand layup training"

    *

    It is a routine program in the boys' dormitory to lie on the bed and chat after turning off the lights at night. The students call this "talking while lying on the corpse".  The host of the corpse-laying night chat that day was Yang Lin. He deliberately kept his voice low and eerie, making him look a little scary in the silent space where he couldn't even see his fingers.

    "Today I'm going to tell you what happened during our training session in the basketball hall at night. Komori is not allowed to interrupt." Yang Lin continued, "There were only ten players on the field at that time, and they were conducting half-court offensive and defensive drills. When the ball was passed to me,  , suddenly, all the lights went out! It was so dark inside the basketball court, I couldn¡¯t see anything.¡±

    "I'm dizzy, please don't scare people, okay?" Zhou Yulong shuddered.

    "I'm sleeping, please keep your voice down!" Guo Haichuan said with some dissatisfaction.

    "At this time, I heard the sound of a basketball being slapped! But there was only one basketball on the court, and it was in my hand!" Yang Lin's voice became deeper.

    Lu Sen covered his head with the quilt and snickered silently.

    ¡°At that time, all the players held their breath and listened, and they also heard that the sound of hitting the ball did not come from me.¡± Yang Lin paused deliberately.

    At this time, the other three people in the dormitory had their heads covered with quilts, but one person was covering his ears and trying to fall asleep, one was covering his mouth and laughing, and the other was shivering.

    Yang Lin didn't care that he had only one real audience, but instead became more and more immersed in his speech: "At first, the rhythm of the sound was slow, as if he was dribbling the ball casually, and then he seemed to enter an offensive state, and the sound of hitting the ball became more and more rapid. At that time,  Someone panicked, and I heard something like Fang Bo shouting: 'Who? Who is there?' I heard a distant and hollow male voice coming from the direction of the sound of the ball, saying: 'I died so miserably!  '"

    "Oh my god, stop talking!" Zhou Yulong howled.

    "Everyone present was in confusion. Think about it, in that dark and empty basketball hall, these words still have echoes, ringing in your ears over and over again"

    Zhou Yulong's bed board made a sound, obviously because he was turning over uneasily. Guo Haichuan's bed became quiet, as if he was attracted by Yang Lin's story.

    "It seemed that Song Xuguang had the courage to ask, 'Who are you?' The voice replied: 'I am a person who loves basketball. Thirty years ago, this was an open-air basketball court, and the Red Guards pulled me here.I couldn't stand the various tortures I received, and I later hanged myself on the hoop!  Unexpectedly, after so many years, this place has changed several times and turned back into a basketball court.  ¡¯¡±

    Yang Lin stopped after saying this, and the dormitory became eerily quiet for a moment.

    "Then what?" Guo Haichuan asked curiously.

    Lu Sen finally couldn't help laughing.

    "Why are you laughing! You have ruined the atmosphere!" Yang Lin said angrily.

    "I laughed at you for making it up so outrageously. It's a Red Guard and a man hanging from a basketball hoop. I can't bear it!" Lu Sen laughed as he tossed and turned on the bed, "Xiaolong, Haichuan, what he just said started from a certain sentence  , they are all made up, you can guess which sentence it is."

    "Isn't it fake if the lights go out?" Guo Haichuan asked.

    "You kid said you wanted to sleep. Didn't you listen carefully? But it's true that the lights went out." Lu Sen laughed and scolded, "The sound of hitting the ball in the back is also true. It was Lin Zi who was deliberately scaring people. As soon as the lights went out  , he threw the ball so high that there was a clapping sound when it came down, and of course it was getting faster and faster." Lu Sen revealed.

    Zhou Yulong and Guo Haichuan suddenly realized it, and they angrily denounced Yang Lin's shameless lying, but Yang Lin was happy to do so.

    The laughter and curses of the four people in the dormitory lasted for a while and then gradually subsided. At this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly came from the corner of the dormitory: "I died so miserably!"

    The four people were shocked. This voice was clearly not the voice of any of them!
