Tim Grover's Shock (2)
"Chen, you're a Shooting Guard. If you train like this, you'll quickly become overweight."
Li Chen seemed to be deep in thought, but in reality, he was checking his personal profile to see if he was overweight.
[Name: Li Chen]
[Team: Los Angeles Clippers (Official Player)]
[Position: Shooting Guard, Point Guard]
[Height: 200cm]
[Weight: 93.3kg]
[Wingspan: 212cm]
[Age: 21, Birthday: August 28, 1982]
His physical data showed no change from the second physical test, which surprised him. Logically, with this kind of training, his weight should have increased, but in fact, he didn't gain any weight at all, which was very abnormal.
Wait a minute, Li Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a guess.
That is, no matter how he trains, the system will keep his weight at the standard weight for Shooting Guard.
While Li Chen remained silent, Tim Grover added, "I'm certain you're overweight right now."
At this point, Li Chen retorted, "Sir, my weight was perfectly normal last month."
Tim Grover smiled but said nothing.
A few minutes later, Tim Grover looked at his weight of 93.3 kg (205.69 lbs) and he was stunned.
How is that possible? Her weight is completely within the standard weight range; that's not scientifically sound.
Seeing Tim Grover's existential-doubting expression, Li Chen realized he couldn't be too eccentric.
So he explained, "Mr. Grover, my training is actually quite disciplined. Don't listen to Bill Duffy's nonsense."
Bill Duffy "...
I'm talking nonsense? You're the one who told me all this, and now you're turning around and accusing me of talking nonsense.
If Tim Grover hadn't been an outsider present, Bill Duffy would have definitely given Li Chen a good talking-to.
Li Chen's explanation did not make Tim Grover feel better.
Because that wouldn't change his current awkward reality.
Tim Grover was feeling a bit exhausted. Was his plan to cultivate two gods about to fall through?
No, I can't give up. I refuse to believe it.
So, "Chen, what's your highest bench press?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Li Chen's uncertain words, Tim Grover's eyes suddenly lit up; he felt that he finally had a chance to use his skills.
After a short while, "Chen, let's take it one step at a time."
Li Chen nodded.
"Let's start with 100kg."
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Grover, let's start with 130 kg (the US unit of weight is pounds)!"
Tim Grover raised an eyebrow; he had a bad feeling.
But Tim Grover nodded anyway.
So Li Chen kept increasing the weight from 130kg to 10kg, and when he reached 180kg, Tim Grover was somewhat desperate.
At the same time, Li Chen's muscles bulged all over his body, and he was struggling with his 180kg weight.
He screamed inwardly, "Get up!"
In the end, he succeeded.
Tim Grover's expression was complicated; he knew Li Chen had a chance to challenge 190kg.
After a long silence, Tim Grover rallied his spirits and calmly asked, "Besides physical talent and skills, what's the most important thing for a basketball player?"
Li Chen was clearly deep in thought.
Seeing this, Tim Grover felt smug. "Aha! You finally stumped me, kid!"
At this moment, Li Chen slowly raised his head and looked at Tim Grover. "Sir, I think it's willpower."
Tim Grover's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "Fuck, you little bastard, why didn't you say so sooner? Why did you only say it when I was feeling smug? Were you doing it on purpose? Hmm!"
Tim Grover was internally ranting, but his face remained calm.
Tim Grover nodded approvingly. "That's right, it's willpower."
Then Tim Grover launched into a long explanation for Li Chen.
Li Chen listened with great interest and could be said to have benefited greatly from the conversation.
Finally Tim Grover said, "You can set a goal in your mind, like Michael."
Li Chen shook his head and said seriously, "Groffer, I believe my goal has never been any particular person, but myself."
Li Chen's words made Tim Grover pause for a moment, then he stared intently into Li Chen's serious eyes.
Ultimately, Tim Grover chose to leave because Li Chen didn't need him as a personal trainer.
However, Tim Grover had one request before leaving.
His request was that the training methods not be revealed to others for the time being.
Li Chen agreed without hesitation; it wouldn't hurt to have Tim Grover owe him a favor.
Afterwards, seeing that Li Chen was easy to talk to, Tim Grover made another request.
His request was to be nominally Li Chen's trainer, and Li Chen thought about it and agreed.
However, Li Chen had one request: that Tim Grover become Kobe's personal trainer.
Tim Grover was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
So Li Chen called Kobe.
Kobe answered the phone shortly after, Kobe tone still indifferent, "What is it? I'm busy."
Li Chen could hear Kobe's heavy breathing; he could tell the guy was secretly training.
"I'll find you a personal trainer..."
"I don't need it." Before Li Chen could finish speaking, Kobe interrupted Li Chen without hesitation and refused.
"Tim Grover, Michael Jordan's personal trainer, are you sure you don't need him?"
Hearing this, Kobe was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he was furious, gritting his teeth.
Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? That bastard must have done this on purpose to embarrass me.
Meanwhile, seeing that Kobe remained silent for a long time, Li Chen felt smug and extremely pleased.
Knowing that Kobe was easily embarrassed, Li Chen, feeling the time was right, said, "Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes. I'll bring Mr. Grover to your house now." With that, he hung up the phone.
At the same time, Kobe also breathed a sigh of relief. Kobe gritted his teeth. He couldn't understand Li Chen, that bastard. It was something that could have made him feel good about him and even touched him, but because of Li Chen's interference, he didn't feel any good about him at all.
Soon, Li Chen gave Kobe's address, and then Bill Duffy drove Tim Grover to Kobe's house.
Harden reason Li Chen recommended Tim Grover to Kobe was so that Harden and DeRozan could DeRozan from Tim Grover's training sessions.
Kobe's home.
Kobe spent the last hour learning about Tim Grover's training methods, and he found it very interesting.
This gave Tim Grover a sense of accomplishment; coaching Kobe was definitely more satisfying!
As for Li Chen, his only feeling was helplessness.
At this moment, Li Chen arrived late, but upon entering the private Training Gym, he acted as if he were a guest, saying casually, "Mr. Grover, please train these two brats for me during training as well."
As he spoke, pointing at Harden and DeRozan, the little guy got a little excited. You know, those are Jordan's trainers!
"Hey, hey, hey! Chen, Mr. Grover is my trainer now." Kobe glared at Li Chen and said with displeasure.
Li Chen ignored Kobe and looked at Tim Grover instead.
Tim Grover already owed Li Chen a favor, so he had no reason to refuse.
However, he is now Kobe's trainer.
So he said, "As long as Mr. Bryant agrees, I have no problem with it."
Snap! Li Chen snapped his fingers and said, "Then there's no problem."
Kobe "..."
The next day, Kobe was still bragging to Li Chen, saying that he was very satisfied with Tim Grover, implying that he, Li Chen Kobe, was thanking Li Chen.
Li Chen was speechless, thinking to himself, "Is it really that hard to say thank you?"
