Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 536

Chapter 536: 535 Catching up quickly Chapter 536: 535 Catching up quickly Vilani had heard those rumors as well, not just Nash singing high praises about Li Wei, but everyone inside the Kansas City Chiefs referred to Li Wei as the “training maniac” ——

So, if it were merely about persistence, Li Wei would not have been called a maniac.

Clearly, Li Wei had his own tenacity.

After five consecutive days of training, a rest day finally arrived, a rare break, because it was the offseason and also because high-intensity training needed to be balanced with rest to enhance efficiency.

On his day off, Li Wei did not hit the pause button ——

Kelsey and others took a private yacht out to sea, either partying or dating or combining both, but Jason and Hopkins were exceptions, lying dead on beach chairs, not wanting to move a finger, rumored to have all their meals in bed as well.

Anyway, everyone enjoyed the rare holiday in their way.

However, Li Wei did not go to the party nor continue to “play dead”.

Because Li Wei knew that “rest day” was a deceptive concept, sports require both persistence and routine, and once you interrupt the flow and hit the pause, rhythm gets disrupted, laziness quickly takes over the brain, and even just resting for one day, the difficulty of getting back into training could double, triple, or even become ten times harder, leading most people to choose giving up; even if they don’t give up and continue to persevere, it’s definitely torture.

...

More terrible than hell.

So even on a rest day, Li Wei could not fully relax.

So, Li Wei chose ——

Yoga.

Relaxation was indeed necessary, not just for the muscles but also for the nerves, to break free from the high-intensity training and fully relax; meanwhile maintaining a sense of regular movement to avoid complete collapse.

In the morning, he started with a massage, relaxing his muscles under professional hands.

Then, yoga.

In the afternoon, a swimming party, followed by yoga to end the day.

The entire day’s schedule was still packed, even though Li Wei emphasized that everything was about relaxation, with no need for high intensity; but relaxing exercises were still exercises, and Vilani was full of astonishment ——

As if unearthing treasures.

Now Vilani finally understood why Nash was so full of praise for Li Wei.

If Li Wei was a treasure, then Mahomes was a surprise.

On the rest day, Mahomes did not go to the party either.

After five days of training, Mahomes once again felt a sense of crisis and motivation.

He was still a backup, and if he wanted to become a starter, if he wanted to join Li Wei on the field, if he wanted to step onto the field and contend with the League’s top players, he indeed had much room for improvement, and the offseason was an opportunity.

Moreover, at Watt Training Camp, Li Wei and Mahomes were the only rookies; if they didn’t work hard, then who else would?

So.

Mahomes chose to stay and keep pace with Li Wei.

Vilani was particularly surprised, as if discovering a new continent ——

Of course, Mahomes’ training volume and intensity were not as extreme as Li Wei’s, as their positions were different; but even so, it was still surprising, considering that Mahomes was a quarterback.

Vilani had never seen a quarterback so painstakingly and diligently…

train their body, not even the mobile quarterbacks like Newton, Wilson, and Watson.

This was truly fresh.

Involuntarily, Vilani also developed some interest in Mahomes.

A running back and a quarterback, this was a fascinating combination.

The short rest day passed in a blink, seemingly without enough time to properly enjoy, and the day was already over, with training set to start again.

Finally, Hopkins finally woke up from his sleep, having slept for two whole nights and a day, getting thoroughly rested, and now revived with full energy.

He stretched and let out a series of cracking noises from his joints.

He was ready.

Hopkins knew that after a brief day of rest, getting disrupted in rhythm combined with the psychological letdown made resuming training typically much harder.

Some might even find it impossible to persist and ultimately choose to give up.

Hopkins thought, maybe that flashy but empty Li Wei would likely fail to hold up.

The so-called “training demon” was probably nothing more than a smoke bomb from the Kansas City Chiefs plus some stoking of the fire by Goodell.

If Li Wei hadn’t given up?

Heh, that would be all the better.

He was now one hundred percent recovered.

His training today would certainly be a kill-shot.

He was going to show the rookie from the Crimson Tide Storm what a true master looked like—

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

He made a name for himself in the League, and it wasn’t by using the labels of a rookie and Asian to protect and glorify his little achievements.

He glanced at the clock, 4:20 in the early morning.

Perfect.

He would reach the training facility by 4:30, join Watt for training, and then wait for the others to arrive.

Imagining Li Wei’s disheveled and pathetic look like a dog that had lost its home, Hopkins actually hoped Li Wei wouldn’t give up, so that he could thoroughly crush the lab rat today.

Thinking about it, a wave of heat rushed over him, and a smile unwittingly crept onto his lips.

He got out of bed with nimble movements.

Despite some muscle soreness, it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t affect Hopkins’ good mood at all.

He even picked out a fluorescent yellow shirt and matched it with a tall hat, got dressed meticulously, and then drove to the training ground.

Whistling and humming a tune, he walked into the training facility and was stunned—

Step by step.

Li Wei and Watt, each holding dumbbells, were doing walking lunges with arrow steps.

Their movements were not only correct but also steady in rhythm.

Both were already sweating profusely, and it was clear they had started training a while ago.

Moreover, they hadn’t even noticed Hopkins’s arrival, their attention was one hundred percent on the training movements.

Hopkins stood there, dumbfounded.

He had just been imagining how he would greet Li Wei’s arrival, but this scene before him—

Something seemed off.

Hopkins’s brain froze, completely unable to process:

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

“Hey, DeAndre, good morning.

You’re a bit earlier than last week,” said Watt, wiping off his sweat and smiling at Hopkins.

Hopkins was speechless, glancing back and forth between Watt and Li Wei.

Watt noticed.

“Ah, rookie?”

“He’s been here for a while.

To be precise, he was ten minutes earlier than me.

By the time I got here, he had already started warming up.

If this keeps up, next time it’ll be his turn to wake us all up for training,” said Watt.

“Haha.”

Hopkins: …That’s not funny, okay?

And there was more to come.

Vilani and other personal trainers also arrived one after another.

They needed to come a bit earlier than the players to set up, only to witness this scene.

Vilani joked, “JJ, isn’t it five o’clock?

Are you planning to start an extra training camp before the actual camp?

That’s not okay, we need a raise.”

The other trainers joined in the uproar.

Watt shook his head, “I didn’t call the rookie; the rookie arrived earlier than me.”

The smile just stiffened at the corner of his mouth, with only the sound of the wind blowing continuously.
