Chapter 24: Idols
Sending away the football manager who was digging up the wall, I asked the big man: "Do you know Zhao Dan in your school?" ”
The big one said: "There are thousands of people in our school, how can I know all of them, what major?" ”
"Badminton's."
The big one said: "You don't have to come usually, but you will definitely be able to find him today." ”
"Why?"
The big one said: "Today, the national team came to our school for training, and the people of the badminton team are in the badminton hall." ”
I just remembered that I had said this on TV two days ago, and it turned out that it was here today.
Thank you, we asked people all the way to the badminton hall, and saw that a banner had been hung on the door: warmly welcome the national team to our school for training. Although there are two security guards guarding the door, but there is no restriction on others to go in to watch, as a provincial team, the national team to train is commonplace, other majors have their own idols of other majors, so when we came in, the audience seat only did a few people, probably the fans who came to hear the wind, in the front row of seats, more than a dozen members of the provincial team have sat neatly, and a fat middle-aged man in sportswear is giving a lecture to the players at a glance:
"After the players of the national team come for a while, your main task is to watch, learn more about other people's playing styles, reflect on your own shortcomings, write down any problems first, and hand them over to me after the training camp, and I will ask others for advice. Also, applaud a lot, it is our honor for the national team to come to our school for training, and we want to leave a good impression on others......"
I glanced at their team, and immediately found Zhao Dan, the coach said in front of him, he sat at the back and played with his mobile phone alone, looking leisurely.
I took Su Jing to the front of the audience, not far from Zhao Dan, and lowered my voice and shouted: "Zhao Dan, Zhao Dan!" ”
Zhao Dan raised his head suddenly, and when he saw that it was me, he was stunned for a moment and then said, "Brother Xiaolong." "The last time we broke up, I told him that my surname was Long, and it seems that he was very impressed with me, and he remembered it all at once.
Zhao Dan peeked at their coach, and then ran to the back and sat with me, their coach glared at him, and continued to talk about his.
Zhao Dan said enthusiastically: "Why are you here, you are a badminton lover?" ”
I shook my head and smiled, "I see you're here." ”
Zhao Dan said: "Then you don't come in vain, you can see the stars of the national team for a while." ”
I said, "Are you going to play?" ”
Zhao Dan laughed at himself: "Which turn can I be, don't you see the coach and ignore me?" In his words, it will be the end of my ability to mix in the provincial team. Zhao Dan pointed to a player in the front row and said to me, "See, that's our seed, and it's very promising to enter the national team, and it's his show that you want to play." ”
Zhao Dan saw that I was still carrying a girl, and asked me in a low voice: "Is this Xiaolong's sister-in-law?" It's beautiful. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, just an ordinary friend."
"I don't believe it, ordinary friends can watch badminton with you?" He didn't care about the coach when he saw him, and Suo sat with us.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind the venue, and a group of people dressed in bright red national team uniforms entered the venue, although there were few spectators, it also caused a lot of sensation, and a few people simply crossed the guardrail of the stadium to ask for autographs from several of them, and the security guards immediately came out to stop it.
Zhao Dan's eyes lit up, and he stabbed me vigorously: "Look, that's Sun Ning, the Thomas Cup and the Olympic champion, and if you win another Sudirman Cup, it's a grand slam!" The one next to him is Li Rui, the men's singles champion of the last World Championships, and he is also very powerful! These two are also the two people who are surrounded by the audience the most, Li Rui did not raise his eyelids, and slowly wrote his name to the front audience, while Sun Ning hid behind the security guards, impatiently waiting for them to clear the venue.
I wondered, "What's so nice about these people?" ”
Zhao Dan immediately said: "They are my idols - the world men's singles champion, how awesome this title is!" Zhao Dan said with a strange glint in his eyes.
I said, "Aren't there doubles and mixed doubles?" ”
Zhao Dan said disdainfully: "What kind of badminton is that?" ”
I can't imagine that as a semi-professional athlete, Zhao Dan is also prejudiced against his major, but from an ornamental point of view, the men's singles of badminton is indeed not a level higher than other sports, and the gold content and attention of the men's singles champion are also the highest. It's not uncommon for the same sport to get different attention because of different surnames, rules, and venues, just look at the men's and women's teams. Another example is billiards, snooker is like a grand dinner, although the fancy nine-ball is good-looking, it also has a bit of a supporting role.
I asked Zhao Dan: "Do you want to be the men's singles champion?" ”
Zhao Dan pouted and said: "Who doesn't want to, but just think about it, just like someone thinks about 5 million every day." ”
I said, "Then you're trying hard, just trying to use your." ”
Zhao Dan said: "My training volume is larger than everyone else, but my talent is not good, there is no way." He was a little depressed when he said this, but he was soon aroused by the arrival of Sun Ning and Li Rui.
After the venue was cleared, the assistant coach of the national team and the team leader symbolically shook hands with Zhao Dan's coach, and the training began after the players warmed up.
The players of the national team were divided into mixed doubles, women's doubles, men's doubles and men's singles in the four venues to start practicing, Sun Ning and Li Rui did not get off the court, and after the four venues adopted a 21-point system to divide the winners and losers, Li Rui began to pull his bag, it seemed that he was going to play, and the audience immediately responded with warm applause and cheers, it seems that the singles of the seeded players are still the most attractive after all.
The player who played against Li Rui is not well-known, but Zhao Dan, who is familiar with the national team, told us that he is also very powerful, and he is a very powerful sparring partner in the national team.
Li Rui and the sparring partner pulled a few long balls in the backcourt to familiarize themselves with the field, and the game officially began.
Li Rui serves, the sparring partner sends a short ball, Li Rui suddenly smashes the ball, scores directly, the audience applauds, Li Rui continues to serve, the two start a fight on the middle line, from time to time accompanied by a strong smash, every time the audience will shout excitedly: "Kill!" ”
Although the little shuttlecock looks light and soft, I am terrified when I am beaten and the whirring wind makes me frightened, and I have played badminton, but I think I can't catch a ball if I want to play with others.
Su Jing didn't understand it, and said to me: "Since it's so that the other party can't catch it, why don't you hit the ball far away?" ”
I told her, "You have to be within that box, and you're out of bounds." ”
Su Jing asked: "There are so many frames, which one is counted?" ”
Zhao Dan watched the ball while dancing and giving us a collective literacy: "In doubles, the outside line is counted, and in singles, the inside line is counted horizontally, and the outside line is counted vertically - if you don't remember the mantra I taught you, the doubles court is fat and long, and the singles court is thin and long." ”
Su Jing nodded and said, "What does that net say?" ”
Zhao Dan said: "Every time you hit the ball, you have to go over the net - you don't understand it at all, do you?" ”
I joked with him in a low voice: "Your little sister-in-law is from another world. ”
Su Jing said: "I understand what you said, what if the ball is wiped on the net?" ”
Zhao Dan said: "It doesn't matter if you wipe the net or not, even if you cross the line, but you must pass the opponent's front court line when serving." ”
Su Jing frowned and said: "According to my observation, the direction and strength of the ball will change greatly every time it is wiped on the net, and it is difficult for the opponent to catch it unexpectedly, why don't you use that net to create difficulties for the opponent?" ”
Zhao Dan smiled and said: "What are you kidding, the ball can sometimes reach more than 300 kilometers per hour, it's good to catch it, how can you have time to aim, and to do it like you said, you have to hit the ball at the top of the net, and you may not be able to aim it accurately if you have time." ”
Su Jing said lightly: "If it were me, I would be able to do it." ”
Zhao Dan laughed and disdained to talk to this layman.
Li Rui won the game 21-16 and went into the break. Zhao Dan and their fat coach touched the national team leader, nodded and said a few words, the team leader nodded reluctantly, came to Li Rui and said: "The coach of our provincial team wants us to have a fight with their seeded players, you can go." ”
Li Rui was dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that there was an exhibition match on the last day? ”
The fat coach hurriedly ran to Li Rui and said with a smile on his face: "If you are thirsty for knowledge, if you are thirsty for knowledge, please give me some advice." ”
Li Rui said: "How many are you going to take?" ”
"Two." The fat coach looked at his teammates, and it seemed that no one had to ask for it, so he hurriedly said, "Three." ”
Li Rui waved the paddle in his hand and said impatiently, "Let them come over." ”
The fat coach smiled happily, hurriedly pushed up the seeded player Zhao Dan said, and earnestly instructed him: "Play hard and study hard!" ”
The seeded player came over to shake hands with Li Rui flatteringly, and Li Rui touched his hand and said, "Hurry up and start, you serve." ”
The seeded player serves, Li Rui receives the serve, and the seeded player hits the net directly with another beat, Li Rui leads 1-0 and changes the serve.
It seems that the seeded players are a little frightened, and they are probably a little weak in their hearts with the national team, after all, they are all legendary figures, they are their idols, and they are a little shrunken when they play, and they were directly beaten 10 to 0 by Li Rui a few beats, and he wanted to continue playing, Li Rui put the racket and said: "Next, don't waste time, say okay, 10 balls per person, hurry up." ”
Zhao Dan frowned and said, "Why is he like this." ”
The next one was better than the seeded player, playing 10 balls and winning two points, Li Rui stopped playing with him again, and said loudly: "Next!" Saying that, he rolled his eyes and said, "Your provincial team is at this level?" ”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, whether it was in their own venue, the provincial team represented them, and Li Rui's words caused the audience to boo.
As a result, the No. 3 player was too psychologically burdened, and he directly said to the coach with a sad face: "I won't be on it, right?" ”
The coach sighed.
"I'm on!" Zhao Dan suddenly shouted, startling me.
Zhao Dan left the table angrily, took his racket, and shouted at the No. 3 player: "If you lose, you don't lose, what are you afraid of him doing?" The audience immediately began to heckle and applaud.
The fat coach pulled Zhao Dan: "Your two strokes are more white, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, I am still afraid." ”
Zhao Dan said angrily: "It's a shame to just beat the beat!" The audience began to applaud......
The leader of the national team was very calm, and said to the fat coach: "Then let the boy try." ”
Li Rui glared at Zhao Dan and said, "You also have 10 balls, get out of the way if you lose!" ”
Zhao Dan trembled slightly with anger and said loudly: "Okay! "Anger is one thing, seeing that the idol in your mind is so snobbish is the main reason - so don't meet the idol if it's okay, in case you find that Sora Aoi is dark and thin one day, and Lin Chiling's breasts are sagging, how sad it should be!
Looking at Zhao Dan who walked on the field, I pulled Su Jing and asked, "Does he have my strength in him, do you feel it?" ”
Su Jing shook his head: "No." ”

Although we are a non-fiction novel, we also have to have an apocryphal part, today's table is deeper, the national team generally does not have this kind of moral surname, I also like Lin Dan and Chen Jin in men's singles, Xiaohua's badminton is also played with a clear eye, sometimes I play for a while after eating in the summer, and there is only one sparring partner - but my mother and her old man are definitely not my opponents.
