I practiced in the United States

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

"No way, sir, even if I open a membership, the delivery won't be so fast, right?"

Li Ang answered the phone with some surprise. As soon as the other party said "hi", his brain worked quickly and identified the voice. It was the top American team manager, Orsad, whom Xila met at the dinner party last time.

"I called to ask if you have time to come to the team training recently? I know it's a bit difficult for you to handle school homework and take leave, but I hope you can come as soon as possible. After all, this is a very valuable opportunity."

"I can come anytime. As for academics, I have already completed the leave of absence procedures."

Li Ang answered without hesitation.

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

His evaluation of Li Ang in his heart inevitably increased a few points.

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better. I hope you can come as soon as possible."

In the phone, the two also communicated about the time and place.

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 perform as well as possible.

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

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

This sport is also the first sport he participated in the competition. It is also the skill that he improved the fastest at the beginning. However, the progress is a little behind now.

Li Ang did not hesitate too much and directly booked a flight ticket for this evening.

However, Li Ang did not plan to take Katina with him when he went out for training this time.

First of all, she has been busy with her studies recently. In addition, he is not a big star. He needs to shoot videos every day for daily life training. These things can be exempted, which can be regarded as a holiday for her.

After calling her and expressing her thoughts, Katina said it was okay, and she had some videos in her hands, which could cope with the updates during this period.

Just talking about these, Li Ang suddenly thought of a video that was very suitable for posting now.

"Do you mean that I should post the video of you using a sniper rifle to explode?"

"Yes, that's it."

Originally, Li Ang wanted to show this relatively rare sniper rifle.

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

Besides, he has become like this, and it should be reasonable not to update the video in the next few days.

So, Li Ang practiced shooting at the shooting range, and the video of the sniper rifle exploding was quickly posted online.

After notifying Katina, Li Ang also told Sheila the news, after all, she introduced this opportunity to him.

After learning that Li Ang's flight was this evening, Sheila also said that it was a pity, otherwise she could come to accompany him for the last time.

Obviously, Li Ang underestimated the power of his video. Just a few hours later, Li Ang had just left the house when Katina called him and sent him a few screenshots of the data.

Li Ang went to see that the video, which had just been released for a few hours, had more views and comments than many of his previous videos that had been released for many days.

In terms of the speed of the growth of views, even if the video of Li Ang winning the Ultimate Challenge by slapping someone in the face doubled, it would not be as good.

He just clicked into the comments and saw that the content inside made him laugh and cry.

First of all, the most people were posting "burning incense" and "eating feasts". Those who were a little creative would post "May there be no Barrett in heaven". This group of viewers were basically a group of people who pushed the stream and watched for fun.

They may have a little understanding of Li Ang, or they may not have any, just like watching the highlights of the unlucky guy.

However, Li Ang also has a group of real fans. His current number of fans has exceeded 100,000, which can be regarded as a small Internet celebrity.

These fans are basically attracted by his physical performance, and some of them are cycling, Chinese Kung Fu, and slapping contests.

Most people are concerned about his current situation and whether his life has been saved.

Some true fans have already started to raise donations for him. I don’t know if they are real fans or just cheating money under this name.

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-material sniper rifle. The characteristic of this gun is its huge power, but at the same time, the power of the gun will naturally increase after the explosion. In my opinion, the author is in danger."

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

"I don’t know if you noticed that he just pulled the trigger, and the second before the explosion, his body seemed to subconsciously dodge. Did Li Ang know that the next moment it would explode?"

"Indeed, if it weren't for this dodge, his chance of death would have increased by at least 20 points. Of course, the possibility of survival is still not high."

"Maybe this is a superpower? Just like Spider-Man's spider sense."

"How can it be so mysterious? Friends who often practice martial arts know that masters with profound kung fu will have this kind of body sense of danger."

Of course, the most exciting thing is the battle between true fans and anti-fans.

"Damn it, I finally found a martial arts practitioner who can really fight, and he's gone? Isn't this a conspiracy of the Americans?"

"It's really possible. Even if he didn't die in the end, he would definitely be seriously injured. Maybe it would be difficult for him to improve his skills in the future."

"I want to laugh when I see you martial arts fans. Can you take those things on TV 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 two words "traditional martial arts" and "able to fight" are linked together and I find it funny."

"If you watch more Just a few videos show whether he can fight or not. Can't you see that a person weighing 300-400 kilograms was knocked to the ground by him with one slap? "

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

"That's right. With his body, he can knock down a person weighing 300-400 kilograms 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 controversies. However, correspondingly, the more controversies there are, the more popular Li Ang's videos will be, and he can control the traffic.

In the Hunyuan martial arts hall, a coach was watching YouTube in his spare time. Because he followed Li Ang, he easily saw this video.

"Come and have a look. Coach Li seems to have had an accident."

As soon as this sentence came out, whether he was in class or not, whether he was a student or a coach, they all gathered around.

"What's going on?"

"What's wrong with Coach Li? Explain yourself!"

The coaches present had basically witnessed the last time Li Ang helped them defeat the Koreans who came to challenge them, and none of them did not admire Li Ang's skills.

And those students had more or less heard about Li Ang's record, and they were all very curious about him.

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

On the screen, Li Ang was holding an extremely beautiful sniper rifle, and it seemed that he was shooting at the shooting range, but soon, the moment he fired, the barrel exploded, and the screen was immediately blocked by the smoke and dust rolled up by the explosion, and at the same time, Katina's screams were heard.

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

"When did this happen?"

Wu Song's face was as dark as water, and he asked in a suppressed voice.

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

Then, when Li Ang made his last move, he already admired Li Ang so much that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a martial arts genius.

"I don't know much about it, but the video was just released today."

In the United States, where the number of guns is so high, the explosion incident is naturally not a rare thing, and even if people who don't know about it, just looking at this Barrett M82A1 anti-material sniper rifle, they can probably know how powerful it is.

"By the way, Coach Wu, don't you have his phone number? I'll call you and you'll know."

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

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

However, the situation was not as expected, and the call could not be connected at all.

The current atmosphere has become more and more heavy.

"Coach Wu, do you know Coach Li's home address? Why don't we go check it out when we have time?"

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

Even Yan Tianqi, who was reading a book on management in the office, had a complicated expression after hearing the news.

Although he did lose face and pay Li Ang to help last time, he still made a key contribution to the martial arts school. Although he didn't want him to do well, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen to him.

At this time, Li Ang had already boarded the plane smoothly, and his mobile phone was turned to flight mode. It would be a miracle if the call could be connected. Similarly, if we went to his home to look for him, we would be doomed to get nothing.

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

As soon as Li Ang entered the base, he was looked back at. Whether it was the security guard at the door, the cleaning worker, or the reserve team members who were training, everyone stared at him as if they had discovered a new continent.

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 riders is quite limited. It is even difficult to pick a rider to participate in the Tour de France among the 1.4 billion people in the country.

Not to mention that now in the United States, there are not many Chinese people. Under this situation, it is conceivable how low the probability is for a young person who is qualified to join their team.

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 have 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 his hand.

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 to give everyone a brief introduction and hold 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 training, 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, I'm going to train then."

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?

To be able to join the only two intercontinental professional teams in the United States, talent is just a threshold for entry.

After listening to the explanation, Li Ang also picked a few equipment at random and tried them out a little, but soon the coach issued an order to assemble.

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