While everyone was still immersed in the lively discussion of choosing pizza flavors and side dishes, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open by a strong force, and the figure of Coach Wang Min appeared at the doorway. His voice was loud and somewhat stern: "Hey! How long does it take for you to order a pizza! Once you're done, hurry up and come out for practice! Don't slack off!"
Li Wei immediately responded, his voice equally loud: "Coach, we are carefully considering it for you! Don't be so impatient." As he spoke, he wore an innocent and mischievous expression on his face, clearly trying to lighten the mood.
Coach Wang Min's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but his curiosity was piqued. He walked into the classroom and scanned the group of players sitting around, seemingly wanting to see what these young people were up to. He noticed the order list in Zheng You's hand and couldn't help but walk over to take a peek.
Seeing the long list and the various pizzas and side dishes listed on it, Wang Min's eyes were clearly surprised. A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "So much, can you really finish all of this?" But his tone was no longer as stern as before, instead carrying a hint of tolerance and amusement.
The team members saw the coach's attitude soften slightly and all showed smiling faces. Li Wei replied mischievously, "Coach, don't worry, we won't waste anything. We will treat every slice of pizza as a reward for today's training achievements!"
Wang Min could only shake his head helplessly after hearing this, but his eyes revealed his affection for these students. "Alright, hurry up and order, then come out for training. Don't push yourselves too hard today," he said, then turned and walked towards the classroom door, ready to welcome their training.
When Coach Wang Min left the classroom, Li Wei and several other team members immediately burst into laughter. Their laughter was full of mischief and triumph, as if a child had successfully evaded parental scolding. Li Wei seemed particularly excited, his laughter carrying a mischievous sense of "scheming success."
Watching this scene, Lin Fei couldn't help but shake his head lightly, but a hint of helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew that this kind of atmosphere was the most charming aspect of the team he was in - full of vitality, joy, and always full of surprises.
Lin Fei casually organized his badminton shoes to ensure they were comfortable and secure. Then, he picked up his badminton racket and prepared to head to the court for today's training. As he left the classroom, Lin Fei's mood adjusted from a cheerful atmosphere to a focused and serious mindset, ready to face the upcoming training challenge.
Upon entering the court, Lin Fei saw Xie Ting and Zhou Yang practicing together. Both of them moved quickly and precisely, each swing filled with power and skill. Xie Ting seemed focused on improving her skills in the backcourt, while Zhou Yang was working hard to train his on-court reaction and footwork.
Lin Fei walked to the side and quietly observed their sparring. In his eyes, there was not only learning and observation, but also appreciation for his teammates' skill improvement. Lin Fei knew that every training session was an opportunity to learn, and he was ready to join in, work hard with his teammates, and grow together.
Zhou Yang's performance on the court always attracted everyone's attention. Leveraging his past experience in the track team, he demonstrated remarkable speed and agility on the badminton court. His steps were light and swift, allowing him to quickly cover the entire court in a short amount of time. This speed advantage often allowed him to be one step ahead and reach the shuttlecock first in matches.
Although Zhou Yang's arm movements are not yet standard, his swing and tactical choices sometimes appear a bit unfamiliar, but his speed and physical fitness perfectly compensate for this shortcoming. He can quickly respond to the opponent's attacks and maintain a stable performance in high-intensity matches.
At the same time, Xie Ting's performance is in stark contrast to Zhou Yang. Although Xie Ting's physical strength is also quite good and can support long matches, he is not as outstanding in terms of speed as Zhou Yang. This is evident in their sparring: Zhou Yang often intercepts the ball first with his speed advantage, while Xie Ting needs to rely more on tactics and skills to compensate for the lack of speed.
In addition, Xie Ting's technical skills are solid, but there is still room for improvement in terms of innovation and flexibility. Although his swings and footwork are trained according to the coach's standards, they appear somewhat rigid and at times he seems to lack responsiveness when facing rapidly changing ball trajectories.
Nevertheless, both players have shown extremely high levels of concentration and resilience in training. They are both clearly aware of their strengths and areas for improvement. In Lin Fei's view, these complementary qualities are the wonderful aspect of teamwork. He knows that over time, these two players will continue to progress, bringing stronger capabilities to the Windchaser High School badminton team.
With the shuttlecock landing on the court, the sparring between Xie Ting and Zhou Yang temporarily came to a halt. Xie Ting looked up and noticed Lin Fei standing on the sidelines. A happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly waved to Lin Fei, saying, "Lin Fei, you're here!"
Zhou Yang also noticed Lin Fei's arrival. He nodded at Lin Fei, expressing a more restrained but friendly welcome. Although Zhou Yang didn't speak much, he always maintained a respectful and friendly attitude towards his teammates.
Xie Ting seemed a little eager as he walked towards Lin Fei, panting and saying, " Lin Fei, I feel like the effectiveness of my long-range shots hasn't been great lately. I've been trying to slow down the opponent's rhythm, but it seems like apart from that, this move doesn't have much impact. Do you have any suggestions?"
Upon hearing Xie Ting's words, Lin Fei carefully considered the situation. He knew that the long-range shot was not just a tactic to lengthen the pace of the game, but also a technique to wear down the opponent's stamina and adjust their positioning. He approached Xie Ting, ready to offer some advice and guidance, hoping to help him improve the effectiveness of this skill.
"Actually, the high and deep ball is not just to slow down the rhythm," Lin Fei began to explain, "it can also effectively consume the opponent's energy, especially when you have mastered the landing point and strength. You can try to add more variations to the high and deep ball, such as changing the depth of the landing point, or using feints when necessary, which can make it more difficult for the opponent to predict."
Listening to Lin Fei's advice, Xie Ting gradually showed a look of understanding in his eyes. He nodded, indicating that he understood, and then eagerly wanted to try out these new techniques again. Lin Fei stood by, ready to provide Xie Ting with more guidance and help at any time.
