Thanks to sxy1256 for the pink ticket from Youyou’s Life, guess I have to add another Chapter, right? Counting on my fingers. I keep my word, a 6K mega-update after midnight in the little black room, passionately loving the pink tickets~

"Thanks, Deputy Captain," Wang Ke listened as Xiao Xian deliberately raised the pitch of "deputy," and the irritation in her eyes became more pronounced. If not for Bai Xue, she would have long been the captain of the basketball team. She would definitely have been able to attend the Harbin International Youth Basketball Exchange this time, but now even a rookie player is mocking her.

The basketball team’s warm-up mainly focuses on the wrists, ankles, and waist strength, as well as finger stretching, to prevent unnecessary joint injuries during the shooting process of basketball.

"I really don’t know how you were recruited. Your posture is all over the place, clearly lacking in sports training." Wang Ke had been watching Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi, and since she had been paying attention just now, Zhang Yiyi, who came from a formal sports school, didn’t give her any issues to criticize, but Xiao Xian’s posture struck her as incorrect at first glance.

Wang Ke showed off on purpose and did not ask the other team members to make way. Instead, she had Xiao Xian squat on her right side, demonstrating the move. Previously, Wang Ke semi-squatted with legs apart, her upper body leaning slightly forward, arms ready behind her body, and commanded: "When I jump, you jump. Push your legs forcefully backward and stretch out, making sure to fully stretch the muscles of the hip, knee joints, and ankles. Jump upward and forward, and land with both the front and back of your feet at the same time. Do 5 to 7 jumps for 5 sets first."

Zhang Yiyi listened and got even more nervous. Frog jumps are an intense warm-up. Zhang Ke is an experienced team member with surely excellent stamina. Xiao Xian was recruited "through the back door" and hasn’t had specific sports school training; can she still get up for classes after doing 5 sets tomorrow morning?

"Ready, start, follow my rhythm." Wang Ke built up the strength in her legs and waist, her arms clamping tight, and easily made five or six frog jumps. Just as she was about to turn back to look at Xiao Xian, she saw a figure next to her suddenly leap ahead of her. That height, that fluidity, much better than Wang Ke’s by who knows how much.

"Wow, she jumps so fast," the reserve team members all exclaimed. Wang Ke, seeing the new player in the new basketball uniform in front of her had already turned around and jumped back. Wang Ke hurriedly adjusted her posture and desperately made a few jumps, finally squatting in line with Xiao Xian.

Damn it, jumping like a real frog, each time higher than the last, Wang Ke cursed to herself. She originally intended to make Xiao Xian the laughing stock, but now, she was being forced to keep up with Xiao Xian’s jumps; if the opponent jumped high, she couldn’t fall behind.

People from the city, still talking about frogs, are just toads. Xiao Xian, with the Cloud Ascension Technique, isn’t afraid of frog jumps. At first, she wanted to torment Wang Ke and deliberately jumped very high, making it extremely painful for Wang Ke to keep up. freewёbnoνel.com

But after completing three sets of the exercise, Xiao Xian had an unexpected discovery. She found that if she exhaled more heavily, the height of her Cloud Ascension Technique would be lower (more oxygen meant less Spiritual Energy Value, i.e., carbon dioxide). If she could control the Cloud Ascension Technique’s height with her breathing rate, that would be very helpful for her later in controlling the slam dunk height and the consumption of Spiritual Energy. Due to Xiao Xian’s deliberate control, the speed and height of the last two sets of frog jumps slowed down, giving Wang Ke a sigh of relief.

Thank God, my legs are almost broken. Wang Ke’s basketball uniform was covered in sweat. Several veteran team members came over to help her, but she pushed them away. When she stood up, her knees couldn’t help trembling; she didn’t even know if she could get out of bed tomorrow.

"What are you looking at? After warm-up, go practice dribbling and lay-ups," Wang Ke’s cursing lost some of its force due to exhaustion. What pissed her off the most was that Zhu Xiaoxian, looking all divine, was leisurely drinking water, not looking at all like she’d done any intense exercise.

An hour and a bit of basketball training ended, with Wang Ke suffering the price of trembling legs and muscle cramps in her calves. However, the training wasn’t over for Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi, and at the end of their last exercise, Wang Ke, putting aside personal grudges at last, had them dribble and shoot to check their fundamentals, only for Xiao Xian to travel during dribbling. Not to mention slacking on the two-point and three-point shots later.

"I will report your performance truthfully to Coach Ni; your stay or departure will be up to him." Wang Ke proudly reprimanded Xiao Xian in front of more than twenty people, and the five hundred shots after training were changed to practicing dribbling and basic lay-ups.
