Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling.
The ringtone of the cell phone tore through the quiet of the night, and Li Wei woke up immediately.
Subconsciously, he knew he had to get up early today to start the off-season training.
Even if his brain felt groggy and half-asleep, he still reacted instantly.
He fumbled in the dark and grabbed the phone to answer the call.
Before Li Wei could speak, the voice on the other end had already taken the initiative.
“Hey, rookie, what are you doing?
...
You’re not still sleeping, are you?
I’ve been training for fifteen minutes already.
If you’re any slower, the sun’s going to be shining on your butt.”
Click.
Without waiting for Li Wei to respond, the call had already been disconnected.
Li Wei, who was still not fully awake, had a brain full of mush and could not think clearly.
He paused for a moment, then looked at the caller ID:
JJ-Watt.
He then checked the time, 4:30 AM.
Li Wei: ???
Wait, wasn’t it agreed to be at 5:00 AM?
Li Wei’s set alarm hadn’t even started ringing yet.
What was Watt up to?
In a fog, without time to think it over, Li Wei took a deep breath to adjust himself, but he wasn’t in a hurry.
Instead, he went to the bathroom for a quick hot shower—
He hadn’t rested well the previous night, covered in a cold sweat and his consciousness slightly blurred.
So he needed to wake up and adjust to be in a better state for training, otherwise the quality of the whole day’s training might not keep up.
Haste makes waste, after all.
After finishing the preparations, Li Wei didn’t drive but instead put on a hat and jogged all the way there.
The villa that Donald had rented for him was less than two kilometers from the training field.
It would take less than five minutes by car, but it was accessible by running or walking.
Since the off-season training had started, it was time to get into training mode.
He varied his pace all the way, starting with a full-on sprint, then slowing down for a stretch, and then sprinting again, constantly challenging his cardiorespiratory function.
In the blink of an eye, he had smoothly arrived at the destination.
Entering the training field, he immediately saw Watt covered in sweat—
Watt was doing lunges, holding barbells in both hands.
At a glance, it was clear they weighed at least thirty kilos, maybe even more, and then he proceeded with the posture of a lunge squat to the bottom, moving along the sideline from one end zone to the other.
While it seemed like a simple action devoid of any technical content, Watt took it very seriously.

His whole body was steaming and dripping with sweat.
Nearby, Watt’s personal trainer as well as Li Wei’s personal trainer, Tony Villani, were present.
Tony Villani, who was introduced to Li Wei last off-season by his personal trainer Harold Nash.
After Nash completed Li Wei’s enclosed training, he didn’t stay idle for long and quickly found a new job:
Professional trainer for the Detroit Lions.
So when Nash knew that Li Wei needed a professional personal trainer this year, he recommended Villani.
Villani doesn’t collaborate with teams but works directly with players, and he is widely acclaimed in the League.
There are many personal trainers to choose from, but Nash recommended Villani to Li Wei because of his expertise in enhancing players’ strength, speed, and explosiveness, with Antonio Brown working with Villani every off-season.
Conveniently, Villani’s own private training company was based in Florida, and Li Wei decided to partner with Villani for an off-season to see how it goes.
Even though this was Watt’s private training camp, each player had slightly different training focuses.
Therefore, when drafting the training plan, it was divided into two parts: one part that everyone could join in for basic training, and another part for personalized and specifically detailed training.
The entire training program was led by Watt’s personal trainer, with the other players’ personal trainers assisting, jointly shaping and completing the work effectively.
“Hey, Li Wei, how are you feeling overall?” Villani came forward, shook Li Wei’s right hand, and gave him a shoulder bump.
“I mean your sleep quality, personal state, how was the water temperature, warm?
Or cold?”
Villani took responsibility for Li Wei and one could see his professionalism and meticulousness in the details, adjusting the training program based on the player’s condition for the day—
“`
No one wants to get injured during off-season training.
Li Wei still wasn’t quite used to it, but he was very cooperative, “Didn’t sleep well, feel a bit sluggish.”
Vilani nodded, “Then we’ll start with some cardio and see how your body responds.”
While they were speaking, Watt had just finished a set of exercises, sweat continuously seeping from his forehead, his smile beaming.
“Hey, look who finally showed up, the sleepyhead.
So, did you have another wonderful night yesterday?”
A little teasing, all in good fun.
Li Wei looked around, “JJ, your pranking skills are lacking.
Shouldn’t you wait until everyone is here before you start with the jokes?
It’s so quiet now, feels like the world ended.”
When Li Wei got up this morning, he was in a daze, half asleep, completely forgetting that Mahomes, who shared the villa with him, had already gone off on his own to train.
Watt fully appreciated Li Wei’s retort and laughed out loud.
“Training starts at five, I just like to get here thirty minutes early.”
“I’ve heard that number 23 on the Kansas City Chiefs is a training maniac.
TJ said the other day, ‘it’s crazy meeting crazy, who knows who will win.’ So, I was thinking, maybe we should both arrive thirty minutes early.”
“Or should I say…”
“You didn’t sleep well, should we lie down a bit more and wait for everyone else to arrive?
That’s also an option.”
It was rare to see different expressions on Watt’s face.
There was an eager anticipation, and a triumphant delight from successful pranking.
Honestly, Li Wei really hadn’t slept well and wasn’t at his best; but given Watt’s enthusiasm, how could Li Wei refuse?
Even before opening his mouth, Li Wei had already started warming up his wrists and ankles, “So, does some newly-recovered patient need special care?”
That was all it took.
Watt slightly lifted his chin, his eyes revealing a knowing smile, and instead of continuing the banter, he got straight to the point, “Did you run over here?
That should count as a light warm-up.
What do you think, shall we start with some basic cardio?”
The challenge was thrown down.
Li Wei looked him up and down, “JJ, I’ve got a training tip for you.
How about this?
Before we start each training exercise, whether it’s strength or core, we run two kilometers first, then begin.
What do you think?”
Two kilometers?
Without a doubt, this was another stern test for the cardiovascular system, but it also could enhance the quality of training by switching between different types of exercises.
Excitement sparkled in Watt’s eyes, “Does that include the cardio session?”
Li Wei, “Of course.”
Watt, “No problem.
So, shall we start with the two kilometers now?”
Without a word, Li Wei and Watt exchanged glances, took no rest, and both began running up and down the sidelines of the field in a straight line.
Mahomes also jogged all the way to the training field, his mind filled with some confusion—
No one in Li Wei’s room.
Could it be that Li Wei had gone to the training field earlier?
Five o’ clock training was already crazy enough, and Li Wei had gone even earlier to the training field?
From a distance, Mahomes could see a line of people standing next to the training field.
He was surprised, glanced at his watch, and noticed there were still ten minutes until five.
