Chapter 214: Good News, Bad News
"I think that as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, there is no athlete in my position who is better than me!" Quietly and unceremoniously replied.
She didn't brag, at least in this Olympic cycle, there is no domestic athlete who can take her place.
"I don't think anyone can replace me", this time it was Qiao Mingle who spoke.
She is too young to let anyone who does not know how to listen to her, and she will think that she is talking big.
But now there are insiders around her, no one knows basketball better than them, and they all know deeply that Qiao Mingle is not exaggerating, her comprehensive strength, it is indeed difficult for someone to stand out in the position of domestic guard.
"So what?" The captain's eyes lit up and he asked.
"So, without raising the pay of my seniors, I don't plan to attend Wednesday's game. Even if the above wants to punish me, I admit it! Qiao Mingle replied in a deep voice.
The harshest punishment she could think of was to disqualify her as an athlete, which was equivalent to a lifetime ban. But as she said earlier, no one can show her better than her in the defender position, the national team still needs her, needs her to participate in the Olympics, to participate in a series of international competitions, so the worst punishment will not happen at all.
In that case, why didn't she stand up and give it a go.
She is now not only fighting for the rights and interests of the old athletes, but also for her future and their future. One day, they will retire and leave the sports team, and she doesn't want them to have to commit themselves to a thousand dollars one day.
"Since we want to do it, we should make things bigger", Jing Jing was the first to stand up and respond to Qiao Mingle, "The treatment of retired seniors must be improved, and at the same time, we won't participate in that bullshit competition." Those people really want to do public welfare, even if there is no competition, they will still pay for it. There are also those leaders who let us participate in the competition, if they are afraid of the money and run away, they will go up and fight by themselves, and the effect of juggling will definitely be much better than if we go up to fight well! ”
"No", the captain disagreed. "Improving the treatment of retired women's basketball players involves too many aspects, and with our strength, it will definitely not be possible overnight, we should be realistic."
Qiao Mingle and the captain are the same meaning. They will face the problem of improving the treatment of retired women's basketball players sooner or later, but it should not be now, things must be done one by one, and they cannot be rushed. Fight for small rights first, if successful. Then try to make a big difference!
What else did Jing Jing want to say, Qiao Mingle patted her on the shoulder, "After the Olympics, we will be liked and valued by more people, and it will be the best time for us to raise this issue." ”
"What if we don't make it to the Olympics?" Quietly asked subconsciously, and after asking, she slapped herself with a big mouth, "Bah, my stinky mouth, if I don't enter the top eight in the Olympics, I will find a coffin and kill myself."
"I'm going to write a petition right now, who's going to sign it?" The captain is also a resolute man. Immediately took out a pen and began to write on the back of the list.
Qiao Mingle and Jing Jing will, of course, sign autographs, and then two more athletes will definitely participate. While others were silent and did not dare to take a stand.
"I am the first to sign", after the captain wrote, the first person to sign was Zhou Zheng.
This was followed by the captain, and then by the other athletes who agreed.
After signing, Jing Jing saw that those teammates who were watching were still indifferent, and she was a little angry in her heart, and she couldn't help but have a seizure, so Qiao Mingle hurriedly grabbed her.
"It's a consensual act. No one has the right to force someone to do what she doesn't want to do. But......" Qiao Mingle suddenly changed his words and turned to the other teammates, "when we retire, we are asked to participate in such a competition." When everyone gets paid a thousand dollars, I hope someone will come forward and sign the petition for us."
"I'll sign", after a short silence, someone finally made up their minds.
"I sign".
"I sign it too".
……
By the end, the names of all the team members appeared on the petition.
Zhou Zheng took the petition and showed the first smile on his face today. "Have you ever heard that the law does not hold the public accountable? The more people who participate, the greater the success rate of the event, and the less likely everyone is to be punished. I'll send the petition now, and you'll wait for the good news."
Because there is not much time left before the game, the latest news comes out really quickly.
But it's not all good news!
The petition was accepted and it was decided to increase the remuneration of retired athletes who came to participate in the competition. As for how much it will be raised, the person above did not say it explicitly, but the guarantee is definitely more than ten times what was promised before.
In other words, there are at least 10,000 pieces.
Although it is still not much, it is already a big victory for the players who fought for the first time.
And they also paid an unexpected price for their victory.
Their good assistant coach, Zhou Zheng, was dismissed for signing the petition and being the first to sign it, on the grounds that he "encouraged the players to resist the team."
The next day, Zhou Zheng packed his luggage and wanted to go back to N City, and the team members wanted to see him off, but he refused.
"In the future, some will meet, and you should not make it look like life and death are parting one by one. Who else is that, so tall are you embarrassed to cry, don't cry", Zhou Zheng joked with a smile.
As soon as he said this, the team members who hadn't been crying also cried.
"Assistant Coach Zhou, when we meet in the league in the future, we will be enemies", Jing Jing said while sniffing, and then rushed over to hug him while Zhou Zheng was not paying attention, "At that time, I will not be soft because you used to be my assistant coach."
Following the quiet, everyone hugged Zhou Zheng one after another.
The three players from the Bayi team were at the end, Zhou Zheng beckoned, and the three of them hugged Zhou Zheng together.
"You all take care of yourself, the league is about to start, and you will soon be back in my clutches", Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
Sending Zhou Zheng away, the players have never been able to concentrate on training.
Everyone was suppressing themselves, suppressing themselves and not letting the anger in their hearts explode.
Some people have strong self-control and can suppress it, while some people have poor self-control and can't suppress it at all.
Silence is the latter.
"Why did you let Assistant Teacher Zhou leave? Why should a bunch of old guys who don't know basketball decide what we don't do? The credit for winning is all theirs, and if you lose, it has nothing to do with them, why do we work hard and finally eat and drink spicy food! It's so ****** unfair! "Quietly threw the basketball away, just sat on the floor and stopped practicing.
The translator repeated what she had just said to Greg, and as a foreign teacher, he could tell what he should meddle in, and he absolutely couldn't care.
So he directly asked the captain to lead the team to train, and he casually made a reason to leave. In fact, I want to leave space for the players to figure out how to solve the problem on their own. (To be continued.) )
