Chapter 24 Zhang Yuan's story is not a myth
On the podium at the Fukuoka City Gymnasium, the three winners of the T18 individual race were some of the winners, but not everyone would be happy. Some people cry because they won the prize, some people cry because they lost the place they wanted, each for its own reasons...
Under the light of the magnesium light, the flash continued to shoot and shine, Zhang Yuan's eyes were a little hazy by the light, although he had long been used to this feeling, and there was no longer a feeling of fluttering and complacency, but he knew that every champion was not easy to come by.
The comrades beside him, like George, they were excited, and they kept spraying the champagne of victory at him, he felt a little dizzy, the past opponent was also a good friend, and now he was standing on his left and right sides and the next level, Zhang Yuan's yellow suit was soaked, champagne and sweat, the suit was very smelly, and it was estimated that he could not wear it anymore.
The sunset shone on the stadium at dusk, two brothers, Masashi Saito and Masaio Saito, hugged the skinny champion opponent in a bear hug, and then, his best friend, Huang Futao did not get tired of the wet and smelly Zhang Yuan, and hugged him vigorously, and the other opponents did not step forward again, just applauded and chatted.
The moment you receive the trophy and enjoy the champagne, time seems to stand still. Because no driver needs to remember this moment in history anymore. The losers choose to forget about this moment, they aim for the next championship, and the winners choose the next challenge and work for the next championship trophy.
Some of the opponents used the wrong strategy, the most obvious example of which is the two major European teams, which adopted the elite idea of bringing together the best drivers and tying them together like warships, creating a solid squad that seemed to be unbreakable. As everyone knows, when everyone thinks that they are the key person, who will pave the way for the key person? Do coolies? Blocking bullets? It's a teammate, commonly known as a partner or a brother!
When teammates have the spirit of sacrificing for each other, they can make a team of champions. Therefore, there were stars in "Cheer Up", stars in "Kawaguchi", and there was a star driver in the Netherlands and Belgium at that time, and they had the talent and strength to convince the public. Therefore, the team with the star car is already the main driver of the stars in the early morning, and naturally, the team members who follow him are always willing to sacrifice for him and pay for him, so as to achieve the greatness and success of the star.
However, some people who are eager for quick success and short-sighted people have driven away the self-sacrificing patron saints in order to fight with all their might. Therefore, in the absence of the stars of the moon, the moon loses its due light and magical power.
And the most powerful opponent is like "Cheer Up", or like "Rush". both have a bunch of moons; In the same way, the bright moon has the stars beside him, as a foil and sacrifice, and thus succeeds. However, Zhang Yuan is not the main driver as soon as he enters the team, let alone a star driver, strictly speaking, he is a dispensable marginal element.
He is only an occasional champion produced by luck, and in advance, no one cares about his achievements and existence; After the race, there wasn't much guessing that he would become a real ace... If there was no good luck that appeared by chance two years ago, how could it have created the upstart of today's Chinese cycling scene?
But those who know Zhang Yuan know that his victory is a blessing that contains most of the ingredients, and he himself never denies that this is a fact, so when he won the first championship on Hainan Island, it did not bring much change in his personality, because he knew 100% that this championship was by luck.
, but in life, it is impossible to have such good luck every day, and the god of luck will one day leave because of his complacency.
Today's Zhang Yuan is more likely to restrain his excitement than ever and is more willing to listen to others' opinions. The others referred to here are, of course, their teammates, the boss and coach Huang Qiang and his wife, and the experts who help him improve his quality (such as Leo and the doctor Zhang Wei) and his friends (Xiaoyan, Xiaohua, Huang Futao, etc., you must know that the best opponents on the field are often the best friends on weekdays).
That night, the drivers and staff of the "Rush" team did not celebrate enthusiastically for winning the two championships. Instead, they took the flight that night and went straight back to the source of the river. Perhaps, this time's championship, the lucky component is definitely greater than the previous competitions, but even Zhang Yuan doesn't know, for him, the muddy and sticky roads he walked every day in his youth, he can even drive a bicycle on the muddy road, what kind of technology is this?
All the riders pushed through this big mud with their hands, and only Zhang Yuan drove on his bicycle.
Perhaps, this is the clay of planting rice with a plough, the clay is too small because the particles are too small, it can suck people's feet, the wheels of bicycles, etc., it is extremely physically demanding to pull up both feet, and the bicycle wheels cannot slide at all, as for why Zhang Yuan is not worried about such clay mud, no one knows, maybe, people who know can't tell you the answer, because this is a kind of life experience, and it is a characteristic that can only be possessed by rice farmers who have both hands and feet.
As a result, drivers from all over the world lost, including the most familiar boss Huang Qiang, and captains Sam, George and Aman all lost on this road, because none of them could grow Champa rice, except for this country boy - Zhang Yuan. Therefore, Zhang Yuan's special encounter with different backgrounds and backgrounds may be providential. But at least, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to make every key decision, and he did a lot more hard work than ordinary people, in addition to physical fitness, but also reading.
In the past three years, his knowledge of cycling has been about the same as that of his good buddy, except that his foreign language skills are still not enough. But for the future of the Tour de France.
Zhang Yuan wants to learn foreign languages well, English is the language of the world, he wants to answer the opening questions of the world media and answer fans, French is the Tour de France After the dream is completed, he will stay in France for a period of time to experience everything in France, from food and wine to historical sites and cultural exploration, he also wants to use his bicycle and feet to complete his dream.
The next day after returning to peace, Zhang Yuan got up early in the morning, he did not ride a bicycle, instead, he was dressed like when he was 13 years old, before participating in the "Jin Chong" bicycle club, flat flip-flops, yellow vest and a pair of twin shorts, he went to Zhang's old farmland, to see the rice planted by the family and the two big buffaloes that had retired early and worked hard.
Today's Zhang family no longer needs to farm and grow rice for food, but no matter what, Zhang Yuan's parents have not given up farming. Zhang Xiaorou, a little sister who is almost 13 years old, also participated in the T15 ranks of the women's group of the "Jinchong" cycling team. But on weekdays, the Zhang family likes to work in the farmland, perhaps, they are used to labor, and now, farming without economic pressure is a sport for their family, but also a family joy, and a spiritual pillar to maintain the centripetal force of the family.
When other bicycle clubs send private detectives to investigate Zhang Yuan's life, they will find that this young man, who has a lot of market value, has not changed his life in the past five years. Living in the simplest of old Hakka bungalows, there are no cars at home, and there are no luxuries to show off. Perhaps, the most valuable thing in his family is Zhang Yuan's father's motorcycle, a 125 CC second-hand Universiade. There is also a celebrity 100 used by my mother, I don't know how many hands of motorcycle, it is rumored to be Yunyun from Taiwan in 1998..
Zhang Xiaorou worked hard in the "Jinchong" women's team, but she did not have the good leg strength and strong physique of her brother. Perhaps, Zhang Yuan's parents didn't need their young daughter to farm back then, so Zhang Xiaorou, who did not participate in the "Jinchong" cycling team, was a white and beautiful girl like Xu Xiaoyan.
From this, we know that Zhang Yuan is not a natural bicycle genius, and without the acquired opportunity and hard work in the designated environment, Zhang Yuan is impossible to become the No. 1 bicycle king.
Of course, the author of this report has never interviewed the Zhang family and his friends and relatives, and the people who reported it were just paparazzi to shoot and observe eavesdropping and Internet rumors, do some data collection, collect and accumulate bit by bit, and then write a report article with a majority of subjective elements, for the majority of readers and fans of Zhang Yuan across the country.
Zhang Yuan took his sister Xiaorou to the "Che Dou" of the "Strongest Bicycle Shop", and when everyone was reading this report, everyone who was rushing was angry. Because, Zhang Yuan is fundamentally very ordinary, and the articles that no one cares about are just advertisements, and they are all positive words anyway.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Huang Qiang and Mrs. Huang arrived at the conference room on time, everyone was there, including staff and drivers, of course, including representatives of cheerleaders and support clubs, Huang Qiang first talked about some recent business activities and company trends. Later, Mrs. Wong said something else, and she asked everyone present to keep it a secret. Because, Eagle Yang Company has been approved by the French Cycling Federation, and their latest aluminum-chrome carbon fiber off-road race bicycle has officially become a qualified vehicle to participate in the Tour de France.
So, in the future, we will expand the number of T18 players, and we will have to deal with national and international races, as well as some world iconic events. Therefore, in the future, Sam, George, Aman and Zhang Yuan will fall in their domestic rankings in China, as well as in international competitions, and the frequency of unnecessary public competitions will be greatly reduced. So, we need more good riders to 'rush' the T18 B team.
Mrs. Huang pointed at SAM and they said: You four guys have another mission... All four of them could guess what it was... Excited or not?
