Tim Grover's Shock (1)
Bill Duffy finished all his business in the morning, and around noon, he couldn't wait to tell Li Chen the good news that Tim Grover was going to be Li Chen's trainer.
When he heard that Tim Grover was going to be his trainer, he was first surprised, and then conflicted.
So he said awkwardly, "Um... Bill, it seems that I probably can't afford Mr. Tim Grover to be my personal trainer right now."
Bill Duffy "...
At that moment, Bill Duffy on the other end of the phone slapped his forehead and complained, "Fuck, that damn investment will make you regret it."
Bill Duffy's exasperated complaints made Li Chen subconsciously touch his nose, thinking, "Bill, the more heartbroken you are now, the more you'll regret it in the future."
At this point, Bill Duffy said rather impatiently, "I can lend you Mr. Grover's money first."
Li Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected Bill Duffy to say that. "Hehe! Well... I'm so sorry!"
Bill Duffy gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! Don't get your hopes up. It's a free loan, and there's interest on it."
"No problem!" Li Chen said confidently.
He actually knew that Bill Duffy was just saying it casually.
He's probably still heartbroken about his investment in Google Company!
In the afternoon, Bill Duffy drove Tim Grover to the Paravilla Stadium.
"Chen, stop practicing," Bill Duffy called out.
At that moment, Li Chen threw the basketball, then turned around and looked at the two of them.
A moment later, Bill Duffy introduced, "Chen, this is Mr. Grover. Mr. Grover played a crucial role in Mr. Jordan's current status."
Bill Duffy was a smooth talker, which made Tim Grover feel comfortable.
At the same time, Li Chen was also sizing up Tim Grover.
Tim Grover is quite short, only about 175cm tall, and not very strong. He doesn't look like a trainer at all.
As Bill Duffy finished speaking, Li Chen raised his arm, extended his hand politely, and said, "Hello! Mr. Grover."
"Hello! Mr. Li Chen, I've heard so much about you."
Li Chen was somewhat surprised that Tim Grover was paying so much attention to him.
At this point, Tim Grover explained, "Michael has praised you to me countless times."
Li Chen was slightly stunned, then he said dejectedly, "God! I feel like my future is bleak!"
Bill Duffy and Tim Grover were both taken aback upon hearing this.
Tim Grover was the first to react; he immediately understood the sarcasm in Li Chen's words. He burst into laughter.
Li Chen's banter enlivened the atmosphere, and Li Chen chatted freely with Tim Grover.
Seeing this, Bill Duffy's lips twitched. Li Chen was really too familiar with everyone!
At this point, Bill Duffy realized he had been overthinking things; he had initially worried that the two wouldn't get along.
A moment later, Tim Grover was somewhat surprised to find Li Chen in the team's training gym.
"Chen, why are you still training at the team's gym?"
Upon hearing Tim Grover's question, Bill Duffy retorted, "That guy's invested all his money."
Tim Grover was somewhat surprised. "Chen, you know about investing?"
Li Chen smiled modestly and said, "It's alright, I've dabbled in some things."
After a short while, Tim Grover got back to the point, "Chen, Bill has told me everything about your situation. This kind of training is very dangerous."
Li Chen remained silent, listening attentively to what Tim Grover had to say next.
"To be honest, I'm really surprised that you haven't gotten injured despite training like this. I have to admit, it's a miracle."
Li Chen was speechless.
"I really don't know, are your team's trainers pigs? Do they even have their health monitored regularly?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen had no choice but to speak up in defense of his team doctor.
"Mr. Grover, we have regular health checkups, and I am in excellent health with no hidden injuries."
Upon hearing this, Tim Grover fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Tim Grover said apologetically, "Sorry, I got a little excited just now."
At this point, he realized that as the team's core player, Li Chen couldn't possibly be unaware of his health.
As for the fact that he wasn't injured, it can only be said that he is exceptionally talented.
Afterwards, led by Li Chen, Tim Grover Bill Duffy went to the strength training room.
Tim Grover said, "Chen, let me see your strength training program."
Li Chen nodded, and then began his own unique daily strength training.
First, Li Chen underwent medicine ball training and other core strength training.
For example, the medicine ball sit-up involves holding a medicine ball in both hands and raising it in the air during the sit-up.
This type of training is very effective for strengthening abdominal muscles, while also working the gluteal muscles. Besides this, there are many other training methods.
Tim Grover was dumbfounded when he saw Li Chen's training method. What was going on? Wasn't this his own training method? How did this kid know it? This didn't make sense! He didn't seem to have revealed it!
"Stop, Chen, stop." Tim Grover waved his hands repeatedly, signaling Li Chen to stop.
Bill Duffy asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with Chen's training?"
Tim Grover didn't answer Bill Duffy's question, but instead looked seriously at Li Chen and said, "Chen, who taught you to train like this?"
This was the core secret of his training, known only to Jordan, and no one else could possibly know it, so of course he wouldn't doubt Jordan.
On the other side, Li Chen tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, thinking, "So this is how NBA players train in later generations!"
Wait a minute! What did Li Chen just see?
What is common in later generations does not mean it is common in this era.
Li Chen thought for a moment and came up with an explanation. He chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, saying, "I... figured it out myself."
Upon hearing this, Bill Duffy was stunned. He knew Li Chen was acting recklessly; he had noticed this when Li Chen invested in Google.
But no one expected Li Chen to go to such lengths, even daring to mess around with training, a major event that affects a player's entire career.
Are you really an Asian, you bastard? Aren't Asians supposed to be cautious? I see absolutely no such caution in you.
At this point, he realized that Li Chen was no match for Yao Ming, and he was extremely worried about this guy.
Just then, Tim Grover said with a touch of self-deprecation, "If you were a trainer, you'd probably be my biggest rival."
Upon hearing this, Bill Duffy, who had just been furious, was dumbfounded. What was going on? What did Mr. Grover mean by that?
Bill Duffy isn't stupid; how could a manager be stupid? He just can't accept this reality.
Tim Grover was somewhat frustrated; he never imagined that he, a god-level trainer, would one day be unable to train a single player.
To be honest, he was a little unwilling, thinking, "I don't believe I can't train you."
Tim Grover's pride was also stirred by Li Chen.
