Chapter 124: World Championship
Magnificent venues, large audiences, brilliant lighting, and auto-tracking shots. This is the style of the international arena, and it is indeed quite impressive.
The first time he felt such a grand event, Kong Yixian was inevitably excited, and even Director Chang was a little kinder than usual, probably because Kong Yixian reminded him of his son.
"Chang Yi, he won the championship that year, he was only nineteen years old at that time, and he was also a rookie who won the championship, and the whole world applauded him. ”
When talking about his son, Director Chang was obviously a little excited, proudly recalling the scene at that time, but he was lost when he turned his head, "It's a pity...... Only that once, if he didn't ...... Alas, it doesn't stop there. ”
Yes, if he hadn't been framed by others, Chang Yi would still be the focus of the world. Although Kong Yixian felt that this tempering made Chang Yi know how to be a man, he also had a fate with himself. But the price has been paid enough, and the glory that belongs to him should not be annihilated.
However, the excitement of the first international competition has not passed, and Kong Yixian quickly saw the bad things that the team members talked about.
Before leaving, she had heard several members of the team complain that the Hanguo team likes to provoke people, especially after winning the game, they are very conceited, and their arrogance is known all over the world.
Originally, Kong Yixian didn't care, there is more than one Chang Yi in the world, and it is not surprising that he is arrogant. But when she really came into contact with Min Hyun-joo, the captain of the Hankook women's team, she realized that she was wrong.
After the opening ceremony on the first day, all the teams began to play the knockout round, and it happened that when Kong Yixian passed by Min Hyun-joo that day, she found her talking about herself.
Kong Yixian couldn't understand Hanguo's language, but Min Hyun-joo's movements were obviously laughing at the scars on her eyes, and the occasional sentence or two of earthy English that popped up was also understandable.
Although Kong Yixian, who was ridiculed, didn't care, it didn't mean that in international competitions, no one could judge athletes from other countries.
Just when Min Xianzhu and his teammates were talking enthusiastically, Kong Yixian quickly stepped between the two, but heard Min Xianzhu scolding garbage in a low voice, and immediately suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Can an athlete who represents the face of the country be so uneducated? No wonder others say that several female members of the Han national team are white and tender, but in fact they are vulgar.
She was just about to open her mouth to fight back, when she remembered another saying, you must not have contact with their players at the home stadium of Hanguo. Because they are also known for their ability to reverse black and white, so don't disqualify yourself.
It just so happened that at this time, Chang Dao came to find Kong Yixian to go back. Seeing that she seemed to have an argument with the captain of the Han Guo team, he quickly stopped her, which made Min Hyun-joo leave in a huff.
Seeing them walking away, Director Chang asked what was going on, Kong Yixian shook his head, "I didn't speak, you also came in time, it turns out that what everyone said is true, how can they ......"
Chang Dao motioned to her not to say it yet, after all, this is someone else's territory, "Play in a while, don't be nervous, let's not be afraid of the knockout round, just take it as a warm-up." ”
Kong Yixian still has this confidence, nodded and returned to the arena, sure enough, the results were good, but she noticed another interesting thing,
It turned out that not only the players of the Hanguo team, but even the spectators in the stands had an overly strong sense of maintenance. Players from their own countries cheer when they shoot well, but when players from other countries perform well, there is only a small applause.
Kong Yixian didn't care about this, in fact, the other players were used to it, but what really interfered with the game was the undisguised ridicule and body movements of the Hanguo players.
Not everyone can be as silent as Yin Yu, and there is no experience of Kong Yixian who has suffered all the way to the end, and there are a few younger players in the team who can't hold their breath, and almost lose their temper in the game, but fortunately they are held down by Kong Yixian, "Don't! ”
The game is not over yet, it is very dangerous to break the rules at this time, and they have just made a mistake, if the people's hearts are unstable, I am afraid they can only stop in the quarterfinals.
After another round, when it came to the arrow session of captain Yin Yu, she was known for her stability and ability to be undisturbed. So Director Chang counted on her to win back a game.
But Yin Yu, who has always been responsible for saving the scene, did not play an abnormal role in this arrow without warning.
Seven rings, even she didn't believe it.
There were boos in the stands, which made Director Chang frown a little, and hurriedly comforted Yin Yu, who had retreated to the end of the team, "It's okay, don't worry too much, just stabilize the back." However, everyone knows in their hearts that this undeserved mistake has threatened the team's qualification for promotion.
Yin Yu nodded, still not seeing too many expressions, and Kong Yixian, who followed her, also took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring under the gaze of tens of thousands of viewers.
Her movements were also seen by Chang Yi.
On this expedition, although Chang Yi could not go with the team, he still paid attention to Yixian's situation as a tourist. So far, she has been very good, although it is the first time to play, her mentality is not inferior to Yin Yu, who has been honed all year round.
Kong Yixian set up the arrow, and knew that Chang Yi was watching her, and she hadn't had such a sense of security for too long, which made her hook the corners of her lips before the tense event.
She wore a monocular and aimed at the bullseye seventy meters away with her left eye, and at this time Min Hyun-joo of the Han Guo team stomped her foot, seemingly casually, but the timing was too coincidental.
However, this interference is only minimal for Kong Yixian, she is not afraid to delay until the last second, and only waits for the wind direction to be the most stable before making a move.
Ten rings, and it is the first arrow bullseye of the Huaxia team in this game, which makes people cheer.
Kong Yixian only dared to be a little happy, so she immediately suppressed her emotions, but Yin Yu couldn't help but think about it, she had just made a mistake, and Kong Yixian won the ten rings......
I have to admit that the reason why she made a mistake today was precisely because she cared about Kong Yixian. This is something that has gradually accumulated since Kong Yixian's first day in the team, and he knows that he shouldn't be jealous but can't suppress it.
Introverts are often sensitive, so Kong Yixian is valued by the coach, liked by the players, and even took on part of the captain's responsibilities during the game, which made her unwilling.
It wasn't until this time that Director Chang noticed that something was wrong with Yin Yu, and pressed her shoulder to calm her down, "What's wrong with you? Don't think nonsense, it's just a mistake, you're the captain, you have to cheer up." ”
Yin Yu nodded reluctantly, there was not much emotion on his face, but the surge in his heart was even more intense.
Captain? I'm afraid it won't be long before Kong Yixian will become the captain, right? Ability is not inferior to himself, and he knows how to please people, who doesn't like such a person?
She looked at Kong Yixian who came and the bow in her hand, and an idea actually popped up in her heart that scared her.
People like Kong Yixian...... And why did it appear.
In such an emotion, Yin Yu's performance from beginning to end was very average. Although the team successfully advanced, Chang Dao was very dissatisfied with her abnormal performance, and inevitably spoke a little heavier.
"Yin Yu, what the hell is going on with you, it's not the first time you've come to the World Championships, there was such a major mistake, if Kong Yixian hadn't saved two games, we would have to pack up and go back to China!"
And Yin Yu, who has always been obedient, suddenly raised his head at this time and said, "If Kong Yixian doesn't show up, and Chang Yi doesn't show up, I won't be like this." ”
Chang Dao couldn't believe that this was coming out of Yin Yu's mouth, and he didn't react for a long time, but Yin Yu's eyes were indeed such hatred, this was her truest emotion.
Looking at her unusual performance, perhaps because she felt that it was useless to say more, Director Chang turned around and left without saying a word, shaking her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
The day's competition didn't end until half past eight in the evening, and Kong Yixian, who returned to the athletes' village, had time to analyze today's event and plan tomorrow's arrangements after analyzing the video.
Kong Yixian laughed at him for being more anxious than the coach, and just mentioned Yin Yu, "She...... In fact, in the afternoon, I happened to hear Director Chang training her, and although she avoided it, I always felt that it had something to do with me. ”
Chang Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled dismally, "It's okay, it's time for the old and the new to change in the team." ”
He didn't say the rest of the story. In fact, to put it bluntly, Yin Yu is about to be given up. Because of the more perfect Kong Yixian, who can do what Yin Yu lacks, Chang Dao, who only looks at strength and does not look at human feelings, will replace Kong Yixian nine times out of ten.
Kong Yixian was noncommittal, and pinched his right shoulder after ending the video. In fact, as early as the previous training camp, she faintly felt that the shoulder joint was not very comfortable, but she did not dare to delay the training, and she also felt that as long as it was not too painful, it didn't matter. But maybe I was tired from today's game, and I always felt that the range of motion of my right arm was a little limited, and it would hurt as long as I lifted it.
She frowned slightly, and lay down restlessly. It's going to be fine, just get some sleep......
Since then, the competition has become more and more intense, and Min Hyun-joo, who has won all the way, has become more and more proud, and in stark contrast to her, it is Yin Yu, who has never been able to break out of strength.
In the semifinals, the Chinese team played very hard. Although Yin Yu had done his best, he still couldn't force a head, and the other team members were also affected by her and shook their heads after shooting results. Although Director Chang repeatedly cheered everyone up, it still didn't play a big role.
The six of them went on the field in turn, and when it was about Kong Yixian's turn, Director Chang secretly said a few words to her, "You have to play the role of the backbone, you must calm down." ”
This sentence can be regarded as expressing her will to make her the captain, Kong Yixian glanced at Yin Yu who was aiming on the field, and remembered Chang Yi's words again. Nodding slightly, "Understood." didn't know, in fact, Yin Yu was still distracted and heard her answer.
In the end, the Huaxia team narrowly won by one ring, and the opponent in the final was the Han national team without suspense. However, the order of the six people's arrows was adjusted, and Kong Yixian, who was ranked behind Yin Yu, was moved to the end of the team, and she kept the match point.
But just before the finals began, Kong Yixian secretly frowned, what was going on with her right shoulder, and why it hurt more and more.
Just as she was doing warm-up activities, Min Xianzhu also came over, Kong Yixian secretly kept an eye on herself, pretended to be on the phone, and turned on the recording, and then ignored Min Xianzhu.
Sure enough, Min Xianzhu, who had the chance to win, glanced at Kong Yixian from the bottom up, and opened her mouth to speak a long list of her native languages. Although Kong Yixian couldn't understand it, she couldn't guess what she meant. Secretly laughed, intending to trap her words.
In the international competition, English is still the lingua franca, and it just so happened that Kong Yixian's English was very good, and she pretended to be kind and asked Min Xianzhu what she had just said.
Min Hyun-joo thinks she is an idiot and also replies to her in English, and bluntly says that Huaxia is inferior and has no talent in archery.
Speaking of this, it was enough, Kong Yixian held her pocket and did not respond to her, and went straight to Chang Dao and handed him this recording.
Chang Dao frowned and was not very happy, but he did not take measures immediately, "This is not a public remark, and it cannot be handed over to the organizing committee, but I will leave this and disclose it in an appropriate way when the competition is over." Don't take a stand, it's important to play well. ”
Saying that, he casually patted Kong Yixian's right shoulder, but Kong Yixian gasped. Why is there a stinging pain in the flesh and bones?
She dodged the director's questioning and quietly returned to the team, the more she moved her shoulders, the more uneasy she became. For this World Championships, everyone redoubled down on training, causing her frozen shoulder to worsen?
But the final is coming, what should I do......
