Chapter 26: Before the Tryouts
"Have you eaten..."
After Zhang Ben had a meeting, he came to Wang Ben and Li Liang's room.
The two of them were lying on the bed watching TV, and when they saw Zhang Ben coming, they hurriedly got up.
Zhang Ben waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll take you around..."
Wang Ben and Li Liang glanced at each other, feeling a little strange. The competition is going to start tomorrow, shouldn't the coach take them to the arranged school playground for simple training?
"What a stunned, let's go..."
Zhang Ben slammed his mouth: "This is the provincial capital, but it's a big city, you two hillbillies, you haven't seen such a big city, right......?"
Wang Ben and Li Liang couldn't cry or laugh, although the coach usually trains very seriously, but he is a very easy-going person in life.
Hurriedly put on their coats, and the two of them followed behind Zhang Ben with some excitement.
Licheng has a long history, but unfortunately now the cultural monuments, the original ancient city is gone, but built into a modern metropolis. High-rise buildings, wide streets...
Zhang Ben took two people and first went to Daming Lake for a turn.
It is very different from the Licheng in his memory, especially when he stood in an open space in the north of the city, Zhang Ben was a little dazed.
Wang Ben and Li Liang didn't understand what the coach was looking at the empty field that had just been plowed on, but they had to accompany him.
"It's a field now, and more than 20 years later, it's a community..."
For the expansion of the city, Zhang Ben, who was a construction worker at the time, was on this field, a floor of more than 100 meters, accidentally fell and fell, which was reborn 23 years ago...
After stopping here for a long time, Zhang Ben left here.
took Wang Ben and Li Liang and walked around the shopping mall, and when it was dark, Zhang Ben returned to the hotel with two disciples.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Zhang Ben and the others were stopped.
"What are you doing here?"
It was none other than Wu Chunyan, deputy director of the City Sports Management Center, who stopped Zhang Ben. She took a few coaches with a bad look: "We contacted a school playground and waited for you there for a long time, but you didn't arrive, and you didn't find it when we looked around..."
"It's going to be tomorrow..."
Wu Chunyan, as the deputy director of administration, has her own authority: "As a coach, you can't lead by example, Coach Zhang, you lead the team like this, can you have good results tomorrow?" ”
was scolded inexplicably, and Zhang Ben was naturally unhappy.
This Director Wu rarely stays in Rencheng, anyway, Zhang Ben has not seen her many times, and almost all the event arrangements for contacting outside are handled by her.
In the future, as a coach in Rencheng Sports Management Center, it is best not to offend this woman.
Zhang Ben touched his nose: "Director Wu, don't worry, I have a plan for tomorrow's game... Do you think I'm the kind of person who messes around? ”
Wu Chunyan frowned, she was not very familiar with Zhang Ben.
However, Zhang Ben was very optimistic about Chang Yuan, and Wu Chunyan was not too difficult: "It's good that you know the priority of things, this selection competition is of great significance to Ren Cheng..."
Pulling Zhang Ben to the side, Wu Chunyan handed Zhang Ben some information: "This is the information you want, but these materials may not be accurate, the most important thing is your own strength..."
Zhang Ben was full of smiles, and the unhappiness in his heart just now also disappeared.
Wu Chunyan's sense of responsibility is too heavy, so there will be the scene just now. Moreover, Wu Chunyan is very efficient, when the meeting was held in the morning, Zhang Ben said that he needed the information of the players from various prefecture-level cities, and Wu Chunyan had already obtained the information in the evening...
"Trouble Director Wu, you can rest assured, the strength of our athletes is definitely not bad..."
Because he was forced to leave his job, Zhang Ben became a migrant worker and did not pay much attention to sports. Some of the more important events will also pay attention to it, and Zhang Ben rarely pays attention to the competition of this level of the Licheng Trials.
"Director Chang has carried out drastic rectification in the past six months, which is to need some excellent athletes and coaches." Wu Chunyan's tone was a little serious: "Chang Chang is so optimistic about you, Zhang Ben, don't let down Chang Chang's attention to you." ”
This is a kind of care from the elders for the younger generations, Zhang Ben nodded: "I know Director Wu!" ”
The older generation of sports people have given everything to the sports cause of the motherland, but it is a pity that in this era, sports are always misunderstood. When Zhang Ben first went to the Institute of Physical Education, some parents of students in the same village who were admitted to university compared Zhang Ben with their children...
And some athletes who have won gold medals in the world are mostly unknown because of the underdeveloped network and slow information transmission in this era. And the coaches behind these athletes lack exposure, resulting in some older generation of sports people dedicating their lives to sports without any popularity...
Wu Chunyan is one of these obscure sportsmen, Zhang Ben is in awe.
It is precisely because of the silent dedication of these older generation of sports people that there will be a comprehensive transcendence of Chinese sports in ten or twenty years.
......
"Do you feel relaxed today?"
When Wu Chunyan and the others left, Zhang Ben took Wang Ben and Li Liang to the restaurant for dinner. Looking at the two people who were gobbling up, Zhang Ben asked.
"It's really relaxing..."
Wang Ben said vaguely.
Zhang Ben did not continue to speak, this was one of his strategies. Wang Ben and Li Liang are participating in this level of competition for the first time, and nervousness is inevitable.
The two of them tried to keep themselves in a calm heart, but inadvertently, they still showed some nervousness.
After more than three months of getting along, Zhang Ben and the two of them have become extremely familiar.
That's why I didn't go to training this time, but took them to hang out.
"Since it's relaxing today..."
When he walked out of the restaurant, Zhang Ben gave a light kick: "Hurry up and rest, there will be simple training tomorrow morning, especially Wang Ben, you have a competition tomorrow, if you don't get a good result, you can't stand me being scolded today..."
"Don't worry, coach, I will play at my normal level..."
Wang Ben instantly understood that what Zhang Ben did today was so different, just to relieve their tension.
"You will compete tomorrow, I just want to tell you one word, don't bear too much pressure, you are still young, this competition, you should be in the Rencheng Sports Management Center, and the competition between those athletes to run..."
Zhang Ben looked serious: "As long as you play at a normal level, even if you are the first from the bottom, we can be regarded as successful!" ”
Wang Ben wanted to say something, Zhang Ben waved his hand: "Don't think about anything, go straight to sleep..."
......
Both of them rested, but Zhang Ben did not.
Wu Chunyan didn't give much information, only the list of 100-meter athletes and 800-meter athletes that Zhang Ben asked for.
"Lack of information for the 800m?"
Zhang Ben frowned, there has been no strong player in the 800-meter project. The 800 meters are different from the 100 meters, and the requirements for athletes are extremely high.
"Linzi 800m runner Yang Kaiwen, the reported result is 1:59.43..."
Linzi has always been the most powerful prefecture-level city for athletes in Qi Province, and the level of Linzi athletes is relatively high.
Zhang Ben paid attention to this player: "When the preliminaries are played tomorrow afternoon, you can take a look at their attribute values..."
"Liu Tai, a player from the porcelain capital, reported a score of 1:51.04..."
Zhang Ben did not continue to look down, but took out the 100-meter list.
"Qingdao player Yin Jintao, the reported result is 10.53 seconds..."
"Linzi player Luo Jiaquan, reported a score of 100 meters, 10.47 seconds... 200m 20.53 seconds.
Zhang Ben breathed a sigh of relief: "If their results are really like this, Wang Ben and Li Liang will have some pressure to win the championship, but they will not be ......."
Nowadays, domestic middle-distance running, as well as sprinting, are in a weak position internationally. And Qi Province, in these two domestic projects, only ranks in the upper middle...
"Tomorrow the winner will be decided in the 100 meters, and the 800 meters in the preliminaries..."
Zhang Ben lay on the bed, turned off the light and muttered: "There is no point in studying this, everything will be clear tomorrow." ”
