Chapter 181: The Defeated Badminton Player

"I swiped my phone in the morning, Yuan Le is about to become a national hero," Jiang Yufei sat on the bus to Jincheng Sports and Cultural Center at this moment, and said to Zhou Yu with great interest, "I heard that Yuan Le's support association has been established." I didn't expect that there would be this benefit when I lost. ”

Zhou Yu smiled, his eyes lingering outside the car window, the street scene that was constantly retreating.

Yuan Le lost 2:0 to his opponent and dropped his racket on the spot. For violating the discipline of the competition, he was given a yellow card warning by the referee. On the night of the accident, the national team held a plenary meeting at the station, severely criticized Yuan Le's lack of game spirit, and reminded all players that if there is such improper behavior again, it will be dealt with in accordance with team rules.

Early the next morning, Yuan Le applied for a leave of absence, and then left with Coach Shen.

Originally, everyone thought that this was the end of the matter. Who would have thought that the four words "Yuan Le wrestling and shooting" suddenly became a popular entry, and it has been hanging on the hot search for several days, which is more than those little fresh meat and small flowers.

Nowadays, there is almost a unanimous saying on the Internet that Yuan Le did not lose his temper because he couldn't afford to lose. Instead, after the match, the opponents shook hands and greeted each other, and as a result, the Indonesian player said something insulting to the Chinese, and Yuan Le was momentarily excited and used this action to express his indignation.

In fact, there is no evidence to support this statement, but it can arouse people's emotions, as Jiang Yufei said, Yuan Le has become a hero!

But Zhou Yu had seen Yuan Le's violent temper and didn't believe much in this set of rhetoric.

A few days ago, I chatted with Xiao Zifeng on the phone, Xiao Zifeng said that the organizing committee had asked the Indonesian team about the incident, but the other party denied it and reserved the right to appeal.

Then, Zhou Yu saw on the Internet that Fan Lin, vice chairman of Haicheng Club, cheered for his player Yuan Le, and suddenly tasted a little interesting.

"It's here ahead!" Jiang Yufei looked at the front of the car from the aisle.

"Did you rest well last night?" Zhou Yu asked casually.

"Believe it or not, I slept better than any other day. Jiang Yufei laughed.

Today is the China Open Women's Singles 8-in-4 match, Zhou Yu's opponent is Kamal, and Jiang Yufei is a little unlucky, she will challenge the number one player of this tournament Xue Yang.

After looking at Jiang Yufei for a moment, Zhou Yu saw that she was really not pretending to be relaxed, so she couldn't help but pat Jiang Yufei on the shoulder, and said admiringly: "Your psychological quality is really good, I stayed up for a long time last night before falling asleep." ”

"That's Sister Yu and Kamal's strength," Jiang Yufei said disappreciatively: "Whoever you ask, they will say that the possibility of me defeating Xue Yang is zero." So what am I afraid of?"

"Broken jars?" Yan Gui, who was sitting in the back rows and napping, handed over a sentence at this time.

Jiang Yufei immediately looked at it and explained with a smile: "Strict guidance, I have a clear understanding of myself, so I should come to learn from Xue Yang today." ”

"Who said that I am as strong as Kamal?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"Before Director Yan got into the car, he told a few coaches there, you and Kamal won or lost five or five points," Jiang Yufei shook her head and said, "Then Xue Yang and I ...... There is no then. ”

"This little girl, I said what I was dangling on the side just now, and I was eavesdropping for a long time. Director Yan said with a smile.

Zhou Yu scratched his eyebrows, five or five points......

It seems that the team's confidence in her is not very strong!

"The goal set for me by the second team this time is to enter the quarterfinals, and the result is in, and I have completed the task," Jiang Yufei said, glanced at Yan Gui and his coach who were sitting behind, and continued: "It's not that I don't have the will to win, but I always have to do what I can! I think about it, learn from the experience, continue to train hard, and when I meet Xue Yang next time, I may be able to have a winning rate of 37!"

Jiang Yufei is not yet twenty, and she seems to have no heart or lungs, but Zhou Yu can feel that she has a clear understanding of how to go in the future. Thinking of when he was eighteen or nine years old, he was much more stupid than Jiang Yufei, under the protection of his mother and master, he only knew how to dream, but he didn't really think about how to realize his dream.

But now it's different, as she gets older, there is less and less time left for Zhou Yu to work hard in the arena, and her sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier.

Zhou Yu's opponent today is Kamal, who is currently ranked third in the world. Her kind of male style of play, tough and ferocious. When Zhou Yu was a sparring partner, he also cosed with Kamal. But to be honest, she is only imitating the fur, and in terms of strength alone, Zhou Yu is not an opponent.

That's why Zhou Yucai envied Jiang Yufei's ability to let go, she didn't want to admit defeat.

Sitting on the bus, Zhou Yu saw Xiao Zifeng standing in the square outside the Jincheng Sports and Cultural Center.

"Your boyfriend is here!" Jiang Yufei's eyes were really sharp.

When the bus stopped, Xiao Zifeng had already stepped forward.

Standing outside the car, Zhou Yu found that the shoelaces were scattered, so he handed the bag to Xiao Zifeng and squatted down.

Xiao Zifeng carried the ball bag and looked down at Zhou Yu. The two did not speak, but there was a tacit understanding that did not need to be expressed.

"Xiao Xiao, retired for ten years, do you still remember the team rules?" Director Yan walked over and asked with a smile.

Xiao Zifeng replied casually: "Don't drop the racket?"

Zhou Yu laughed, then stood up and looked at Yan Gui, who was obviously stunned for a moment.

Half a day later, Director Yan pointed his finger at Xiao Zifeng, and said helplessly: "When will this guy tell jokes?"

Handing over the bag to Zhou Yu, Xiao Zifeng urged: "Go in, you can't be sloppy in warm-up, today is a tough battle, you must be patient and grind slowly with your opponent." ”

Without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, Director Yan deliberately asked, "You robbed me of all the words of the coach?"

Xiao Zifeng hurriedly shut up and said "please" to Director Yan.

"He's all done, what else do I say. Director Yan waved his hand at Zhou Yu.

Seeing Zhou Yu follow the team in, Yan instructed Xiao Zifeng up and down: "Pretend to be confused with me......, right?

"Let's break up?" Xiao Zifeng smiled: "What her mother can't do, are you sure you have this confidence?"

"Forget it, I won't say it," Director Yan pretended to be dejected: "How did I forget, the discipline of the national team will start to break you." ”

"This charge ......" Xiao Zifeng smiled innocently, and then said: "Don't worry, I will fully support Xiao Yu and not cause you trouble." ”

"At such an old age, aren't you in a hurry to get married?" asked Director Yan with great interest.

Xiao Zifeng spread his hands and said, "I saw Coach Qian just now, when are you going to give way?"

"Look at your bad heart, I've been busy for so long," Director Yan snorted when he said this, "Don't worry, it depends on Zhou Yu's performance today, your wishful thinking may not be able to succeed." ”

After the warm-up before the game, there were still a few minutes before the official start of the game, Zhou Yu was a little nervous, walking back and forth on the sidelines with a racket.

"Zhou Yu!" someone shouted in the audience closest to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu turned his head, was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he ran towards the audience.

"Coach Qian, why do you have the time to come over?" Zhou Yu grabbed the billboard with both hands, raised his head and asked, "It can't be that the club is going to go bankrupt, right?"

"Xiao Yu, how do you speak?" Qiao Fang, who was sitting side by side with Coach Qian, immediately reprimanded.

Zhou Yu stuck out her tongue, in fact, she was quite happy that Coach Qian would actually come to see her game, and she was still sitting with Qiao Fang.

Well, although he likes to scare people, Zhou Yu is quite convinced of Coach Qian, he has a pair of discerning eyes that know everything.

"Don't you have much confidence, just jumping back and forth like a rabbit. Coach Qian said.

"What do you say? I'm here for the championship. Zhou Yu rolled his eyes.

Coach Qian looked amused and glanced at the guest seat: "Xiao Zifeng taught you self-hypnosis?"

Zhou Yu laughed twice, towards Qiao Fang's other side, Xi Xi, who was facing her with the camera, his face crooked at a 45-degree angle, compared to a childish scissor hand.

Xi Xi put down the professional camera in his hand and said, "When this open tournament is over, I will give you an exclusive interview, and the topics have been prepared - one is 'The Road to the Champion of Sparring', and the other is 'Failed Badminton Player', you choose!"

"Do you need to choose?" Zhou Yu said with a smile, and asked casually: "What about Shang Ke, didn't come with you?"

"Why did you mention him, blowing it again!" Xi Xi replied happily.

"Why did you blow it again, how many times?" Zhou Yu immediately gossiped.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later!" Qiao Fang leaned over and patted Zhou Yu's head with his hand.

Coach Qian said unhurriedly again: "Zhou Yu, when you get on the field, let go of all your baggage, don't think about winning or losing." Settle down and play every ball well. This Kamal is hard-boned, but it's still a bit meaty, and you can definitely bite it, believe me!"

"OK!" Zhou Yu nodded vigorously, this was exciting enough, like a shot in the arm for her.

"Zhou Yu, it's time to play!" Director Yan reminded.

Zhou Yu answered, and was about to turn around, when he thought of saying to Qiao Fang: "I was told by Coach Qian, I'm hungry, Mom, I want to eat braised big bones, the kind with meat." ”

Qiao Fang, who usually doesn't like to laugh, the corners of her lips involuntarily hooked.

Zhou Yu stood on the field and looked at the German player Kamal, who won the World Youth Championship at the age of 14 opposite, and the childishness on his face just now immediately disappeared.

At the beginning, it was a storm for Kamal, but for Zhou Yu, it was expected to lose.

Kamal's condition is really good, as soon as she started, with her amazing speed, she firmly controlled the rhythm on the court, almost aiming at Zhou Yu's bottom line. Every time you win a point, you roar.

"What do you think of your performance?" When Zhou Yu returned to the sidelines, Director Yan handed over the towel and asked.

Zhou Yu wiped his sweat and thought for a while: "I didn't enter the state, I was passively defending all over the court, and I never found an offensive opportunity." ”

After looking at Zhou Yu for a moment, Yan instructed: "You can feel it, Kamal is already preparing for the next game." ”

As he spoke, Director Yan motioned to Zhou Yu to look at the opposite field.

Zhou Yu turned around, and Kamal over there was drinking water while chatting with the coach, and his expression was not too relaxed.

Indeed, how could Zhou Yu, a nobody, be taken seriously by the second seed Kamal of the tournament. Maybe people think that an opponent like her only deserves a quick victory.

Coach Yan stood there, clasped his hands in front of his chest, thought about it with a serious expression, and said, "Take the initiative to attack, get rid of the opponent's control." ”

At the end of the short break, Zhou Yu was ready to play, and Director Yan suddenly said again: "If you win the second game, you will be allowed to enter the first team." ”

Zhou Yu turned his back to Yan Gui and waved the racket in his hand thinking he was cool. That's too low. As long as she is in the ring, she never wants to win the whole match.

Not long after the start of the second game, many people must have seen that Zhou Yu's strategy on the court had changed.

Anyway, Zhou Yu has studied Kamal, and he is powerful, but it is not King Kong's incorruptible body.

This time, Zhou Yu stepped up and launched a strong attack at the same time. Kamal obviously didn't expect Zhou Yu's momentum to come up suddenly, and he couldn't deal with it a little too late, and in this case, there were many mistakes.

But after all, this is a top international player, and he quickly adjusted, and launched sideline smashes many times, which caught Zhou Yu off guard, and her best retraction also caused Zhou Yu a lot of trouble.

Zhou Yu was much calmer than in the first game, and he circled with his opponent in front of the net. Kamal will adjust, and she won't.

The game began to stalemate, and Zhou Yu temporarily led at 11:10 and entered the break time.

It was obvious that Kamal was not as relaxed as before, walked off the field, and lowered his head slightly to communicate with his coach. And Director Yan was also seizing the time to talk to Zhou Yu about techniques and tactics.

The two sides returned to the court, and the situation changed again, with Kamal challenging the Hawkeye twice, scoring twice, and then the score was overtaken, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

"Coach Qian, can Zhou Yu win this game?" Xi Xi in the audience was in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to take another photo, so he asked Coach Qian for advice across Qiao Fang.

"It's up to her," Coach Qian held his chin and looked at Zhou Yu on the field, "The key is whether she can withstand the pressure." ”

At this moment, even Qiao Fang's expression was very solemn, and his hands were unconsciously twisted together.

There was a round of applause on the field, it turned out that it was already the game point, and at 20:16, Kamal seemed to have victory in sight.

Kamal's serve is the high ball she is used to in the backcourt. Zhou Yu pulled away diagonally. Kamal made a forehand kill, attacked first, and finally formed a net, and then used a backhand to push flat to try to suppress Zhou Yu's backhand. The ball was very thrilling, but Zhou Yu successfully returned the ball with a backhand and hit the opponent's sideline, Camar was caught off guard and did not save the ball in time.

At 20:17, picking up the ball on the ground, Zhou Yu let out a long breath, and then looked at Kamal on the opposite side.

Now the situation is that Zhou Yu has no choice but to fight with his back. And Kamal is in a hurry, anxious to win a point, anxious to end this game.

The opponent is in a hurry, of course, there is no harm to Zhou Yu.

In the next few rounds, Kamal's attack seemed to be sharp, but he returned the ball a few times, all of which were outside the line.

By the time the two sides were tied at 20, it was obvious that Kamal was a little out of control.

In the next few goals, Zhou Yu actually pulled back 4 game points in a row.

The atmosphere on the field was all mobilized, and they were all cheering for Zhou Yu, who was getting more and more stable.

Kamal made another mistake, and in the end, she made another throw-in to complete Zhou Yu's second game.

"Come on, Zhou Yu!" As soon as he returned to the field, Xi Xi didn't know where to find a loudspeaker and shouted at Zhou Yu.

At first, Xi Xi was shouting alone, but gradually, she shouted, and the audience followed suit.

Zhou Yu was very embarrassed, but in the end, under the strict guidance and reminder, he waved to the audience to express his gratitude.

"This game is okay, look at the following. Director Yan looked at Zhou Yudao.

"I can join the first team, does it count?" Zhou Yu said, taking the towel handed by Director Yan and covering his sweaty face directly.

"Is that enough?" Director Yan said with a smile, and then asked, "In the third game, how are you going to play?"

Zhou Yu blurted out: "She has been irritated by me, and I plan to attack her forehand backcourt." ”

"Yes, after taking more shots, find an opportunity to push her backhand. Zhou Yu, I believe you can," Director Yan handed over the water again, "Xue Yang defeated Jiang Yufei just now, I am looking forward to watching a wonderful fight between you and Xue Yang." ”

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, and he took a few sips of water.

Not long after the start of the third game, Kamal had a physical problem and was not as active as the previous two games, but her forehand slash was still powerful, and Zhou Yu lost several points because of it.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry, since the tactics had been decided, she would definitely go all out. Especially when the opponent was tired, Zhou Yu shouted louder than ever.

Momentum, right, it's her turn!

When the score between the two sides expanded to 18:14 and Zhou Yu took the lead again, Coach Yan stretched out in his seat and said, "Don't look at it, I drank too much wine at noon, I'll go back and sleep for a while." ”

Qiao Fang looked at him, there was no squeak, but Xi Xi called out: "Don't go, it's a critical time!"

Qiao Fang held down Xi Xi and shook her head.

"What's the key is not critical, winning or losing is her own business. Coach Qian dropped a sentence and turned his head to leave.

Xi Xi looked surprised, but Qiao Fang showed a slight smile on her face.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yu got the match point, 20:16.

At this moment, Zhou Yu sent a small ball in front of the net, and Kamal pushed near the bottom line of the backcourt, obviously trying to limit Zhou Yu's backcourt forehand and forcing her to make a return error. However, at this time, Zhou Yu is no longer the first game, Kamal wants to restrain the opponent, how can it be so easy.

At this moment, Zhou Yu grabbed the high point, and the moment he raised the shot suddenly stopped. Camar judged that Zhou Yu was going to release the net, and instinctively moved a few steps forward. At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly changed his technique and pushed Kamal's bottom line.

At 21:16, in the thunderous applause and shouts of the audience, Zhou Yu won the tiebreaker.
