Chapter 158: Would You Like to Stay?
That afternoon, on the sidelines of the national first team training hall, Zhou Yu sat on the ground with his legs crossed, watching the confrontation training between Wen Jingyi and Wei Qingqing.
Because there was an event today, the training time was delayed, and Wen Jingyi was making up for it at this time.
Zhou Yu actually rarely comes to the training hall of the first team, just now Wei Qingqing called and asked her to do a sparring partner for Wen Jingyi together, and she immediately ran over. In addition to helping his teammates, Zhou Yu also wanted to take another look at the championship list and remember the ideals he failed to achieve.
Someone squatted next to Zhou Yu and found that Zhou Yu didn't notice him, so he coughed lightly.
Zhou Yu turned his head, was stunned for a moment, and smiled at the other party: "I heard that you went to be interviewed, which platform, go back and increase some traffic for you!"
"I guess it's a TV, I don't know. Zhao Ziang said, and simply sat on the ground.
"I'll tell you that tomorrow morning, I'll be gone. Zhou Yu said hello.
After staring at Zhou Yu for a while, Zhao Ziang encouraged: "I heard that Lin Koukou has begun to resume training, with the strength of the two of you, I will still be able to see you here in a few months." ”
Zhou Yu shook his head, remembering the entanglements of the past two days.
Although Zhou Yu accepted Xiao Zifeng's proposal to try to change the single event, but after playing mixed doubles for so many years, it suddenly stopped, and there was always something unpleasant.
And then there is Lin Koukou's side, Zhou Yu hasn't asked his opinion yet. I can't help but find out that my partner has run away!
Anyway, Zhou Yu thinks, what to do...... None of that seems quite right.
The two people on the field stopped at this time and walked over one after the other.
"Don't practice?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Rest for a while," Wei Qingqing said, and said to Zhao Ziang: "A group of people from Nanhua who came over in the evening want to give Zhou Yu a trip in the restaurant, together?"
"If you cry, then I won't go. Zhao Ziang joked: "I can't stand you girls crying the most." ”
"What are you crying about!" Wen Jingyi was amused, "It's not life and death." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm still alive," Zhou Yu hurriedly agreed, handed the two of them water, and said: "Anyway, you guys are too exaggerated, and what kind of feast are you doing, I plan to leave quietly, without even bringing a team uniform." ”
"What are you doing, everyone knows, either you are not capable, or you are a little unlucky, just in time for Lin Koukou to be injured," Wei Qingqing grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, drank water, and said: "Zhou Yu, there is still a chance, the World University Games early next year, we will wait for you and Lin Koukou to turn over, and then let the team leader beg you to come back!"
"That's right, we'll welcome you at the gate when we turn around, and find a few more trumpeters. Wen Jingyi followed.
"Forget it, I still won't turn over. Zhou Yu couldn't cry or laugh.
"Okay, start again!" Wen Jingyi urged: "I'll go to eat after practicing." ”
"You go play a few balls with Wenwen and let me rest for a while. Wei Qingqing said.
Zhou Yu's heart moved, remembering a few tricks that Coach Qian gave her, and said to Wen Jingyi, "Do you want me to copy Xue Yang?"
"What are you kidding, do you have long legs?" Wen Jingyi wiped her sweat with a towel and walked to the field.
"Don't expose people!" Zhou Yu pretended to be displeased, borrowed Wei Qingqing's racket, and followed.
At this time, there was no one else in the training hall of the first team except them. The surrounding area was so empty that the whistle of the shuttlecock flying into the air dragged out a long tail note.
For a moment, Zhou Yu was in a trance. Mom and Siu Zifeng both walked from this training gym to the championship podium, but today, it is the first time she has played in this gym, and it will probably be the last time, pessimistically.
Swinging the racket, Zhou Yu played extremely seriously.
At this time, Zhou Yu split the slash, Wen Jingyi couldn't react, and hurriedly replayed it. According to Xue Yang's handling method, Zhou Yu also came to a playback, Wen Jingyi had to start it a second time, her center of gravity was unstable for a while, and she sat on the ground dangling.
"Yo!" Wei Qingqing on the sidelines exclaimed.
Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped, thinking that she was in trouble.
Fortunately, when Zhou Yu drilled through the net, Wen Jingyi had already stood up on her own, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
"Did it hurt?" Zhou Yu asked carefully.
"When I made glass," Wen Jingyi said with a smile, and then looked at Zhou Yu again: "However, you are very good at singles!"
"It's not that I'm good, this is Xue Yang's style of play," Zhou Yu blinked, "You had a problem with the front of the net just now, and when you played it back, your right foot was put behind your head, so if I play it again, your pace will definitely be messy." ”
"What should I do?" someone asked.
"It's simple, it's to keep an eye on the front of the net, you chop and hang yours, my right foot must be in front, look for an opportunity to push your backhand, if you don't believe it, try it, the opponent will definitely have no way to take you. Zhou Yu replied quickly, and suddenly found that Wen Jingyi looked behind her.
Zhou Yu turned his head and looked over, and when he saw the extra one on the sidelines, he was stupid.
"Second team?" the one walked over and looked Zhou Yu up and down.
The middle-aged man in front of him is in his early forties, with a medium build, a square Chinese face, rough facial features, and always frowning slightly, which makes people feel not angry and arrogant.
Zhou Yu's neck couldn't help shrinking, and he desperately recalled that there was no one in the team rules that the players of the second team were not allowed to go wild in the first team. I wondered how arrogant I was just now, which made people unhappy.
"Strict guidance, her name is Zhou Yu, from the mixed doubles group of the second team. Wen Jingyi hurriedly introduced.
Zhou Yu recognized the other party early, he was the head coach of the singles team of the first team.
For the little radish heads of the second team, especially the singles, this is the great god, and everyone is looking forward to getting his blue eyes so that they can jump into the first team. But I heard that the great god's surname is strict, so he is very strict, and he doesn't like to laugh.
"Playing mixed doubles?" Yan Gui's expression was a little surprised, "How do you study singles?"
People's eyes shot on their faces, Zhou Yu was nervous for a long time, and said: "I like to watch singles." ”
"How's the grade?"
"Asian Youth Mixed Doubles Champion. ”
"What about the singles results?"
"Nope. ”
"How much do you know about Xue Yang?"
“...... Not much. ”
"How did you learn about Xue Yang's playing style? ”
"I watched her play and played her once. ”
"When?"
"She participated in business activities in Jincheng and played two rounds," Zhou Yu replied, and added very matter-of-factly: "But I lost." ”
"Strict guidance, Zhou Yu came to spar with me, you ask so much, it's the same as checking your account. Wen Jingyi quipped, obviously to help Zhou Yu out of the siege.
Yan Dao's brows furrowed, and he looked at Zhou Yu carefully.
Wei Qingqing was also a little flustered, and simply pushed Zhao Ziang.
Zhao Ziang stepped forward, thought for a long time, and said: "Strict guidance, Zhou Yu will leave the team tomorrow, we will go to make a trip for her, and we will leave immediately." ”
"Leaving the team?" Director Yan thought about it and seemed to reminisce, "The second team wants to eliminate a batch of people who are not very good, and she is also in it?"
These words are a stab in people's hearts, but Zhou Yu still has to stay calm, people are leaders, of course they are right.
The scene was a little embarrassing, Zhao Ziang looked at Zhou Yu and motioned for her to slip away with him.
Just as Zhou Yu walked to the sidelines, intending to return the racket to Wei Qingqing, Director Yan suddenly said, "Zhou Yu, you feed Wen Jingyi a few balls now, I'll take a look." ”
Feed the ball?
Zhou Yu was confused, but since he had spoken, he pouted at Wei Qingqing, Zhou Yu took the paddle again and walked back.
Director Yan stood on the side, holding his chest with one hand and his chin with the other, staring at Zhou Yu who was feeding Wen Jingyi.
"Send the ball in the backcourt!" shouted Director Yan.
Zhou Yu was in a hurry, reflexively, and sent the ball towards the bottom line of the backcourt.
"Ball in front of the net!"
Zhou Yu hurriedly changed the line again, and sent the ball to Wen Jingyi's side against the net.
Strict guidance is not too troublesome, the ball path has changed a lot, and Zhou Yu obediently and strictly follows the instructions.
More than ten minutes later, Zhou Yu came back to his senses, which was she feeding Qi Jingyi, and it was simply a strict guide to test whether she would be a sparring partner.
Until Director Yan finally called a halt, Zhou Yu was confused. In the end, she added strict guidance on WeChat in a daze, and sent the video of the game between her and Xue Yang.
The feast in the private room of the restaurant is not a sad parting. Nanhua's friends had a meal together and laughed and laughed. Finally, there was an easter egg, an assistant coach of the first team came over and called Zhou Yu out in the surprised eyes of everyone.
An hour later, Zhou Yu stood downstairs in the dormitory and watched Coach Lu hurriedly come over.
"Make a decision so soon?" Coach Lu asked directly.
"I'm here to stay. Zhou Yu bit his lip and nodded.
Director Yan asked Zhou Yu a question in his office, in front of the head coach of the second team, whether he would like to stay and be a sparring partner for Qi Jingyi.
Five minutes later, Zhou Yu gave an affirmative answer.
In her heart, Zhou Yu never wanted to leave the national team, for the sake of face or for other reasons, she still achieved nothing, and she didn't want to leave so gloomy.
Zhou Yu forgot who she had told her, as long as she had the opportunity, she would stay. So when the opportunity appeared, Zhou Yu did not hesitate for long, even if she had to change her identity.
At this moment, in Zhou Yu's heart, there is a faint feeling that perhaps, her real sports career under her control is about to begin.
"Although the national team has also had a precedent of sparring to become an athlete and then get results, it is only a very few. From my point of view, if you decide to switch to singles, going back to systematic training is more conducive to your development than staying here. Coach Lu persuaded in the end.
"Coach Yan told me to train with the team. If Nanhua has a competition mission, he will also agree with me to go back. Zhou Yu lowered his head and said.
In fact, what really made Zhou Yu make up his mind was Director Yan's unintentional sentence - in an emergency, the sparring partner can also be used as a substitute.
Although these words seemed a bit illusory, Zhou Yu believed it.
Zhou Yu plucked up his courage and looked at Coach Lu: All along, you have been escorting me, but this time, I want to go down on my own. ”
After looking at Zhou Yu for a long time, Coach Lu sighed lightly and asked, "Have you communicated with Mr. Xiao?"
"I didn't tell my brother. Zhou Yu pursed his lips.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to call Xiao Zifeng at all, she was afraid of death, so she turned around Xiao Zifeng and made her change her mind.
"This stubborn temper!" Coach Lu laughed helplessly.
