On March 5, in front of the two buses at the entrance of the Nanxiu Sports Center, 60 contestants of the Nanxiu City team and 10 staff members, including coaches, team leaders, and medical staff, were getting on the bus one after another.

Today is the day when the Nanxiu City team will go to Zuohai City, the provincial capital, and the Haixi Provincial Youth Athletics Championships will start from March 7 to March 9, with three days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Zheng Kaifeng sat in the front row of the bus, thinking about the schedule of the competition that will start the day after tomorrow.

From the end of February to the present, 60 contestants of the Nanxiu City team have been gathered and have been training in the Nanxiu Sports Center for more than a week. But through this period of intensive training, he has a little idea of the contestants.

Which ones have gold medal hopes, and which ones can make it to the top six and top three. Of course, the specific results will depend on the level of other regions and cities and the on-site performance of the players.

"Xiao Zheng, our accommodation is arranged at the Zuohai City Sports Center this time, right?" The bus was moving slowly, and Zheng Kaifeng suddenly felt a gentle tap on the back of the seat next to him.

"Yes, the number of participants this time is still relatively large, and it can be arranged over there. What's wrong, Coach Nie? Zheng Kaifeng turned his head and saw Nie Fangping who was asking, and immediately asked curiously.

"It's fine." Nie Fangping smiled and waved his hand, "It's good to live in a sports center, then I'm more familiar with it, if you live in a hotel or something, it's more troublesome." ”

"Is it still troublesome to stay in a hotel? A lot of our team members are looking forward to staying in hotels. Zheng Kaifeng glanced at Nie Fangping, and smiled at the seat behind him, "I said Coach Nie, you are too good to that Ye Qin." ”

As soon as he heard Nie Fangping's question, he could see that Nie Fangping wanted to continue to provide Ye Qin with nutritious meals, he was an old coach of the sports school, and the Zuohai Sports Center was naturally familiar with everyone, so it was naturally troublesome to change the hotel.

"This kid......" Nie Fangping's voice dragged on a little long, and he shook his head a little helplessly, "You have also seen the results of the training, it's a pity that I didn't go to the professional team, I, I've been talking to him in the past few days, and I have found out the situation at home, the situation is too bad, and I don't want to spend the money I want to spend it, and if I delay it in the past few years in high school, I don't know what the result will be even if I go to college in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Nie Fangping couldn't help but sigh a little. With his experience and experience, a week is enough to understand Ye Qin's situation, probably because of his family, people have low self-esteem but have strong self-esteem, they are very frugal in life, and they are reluctant to spend all kinds of money in their hands. But he is very able to endure hardships, as long as the training tasks are arranged, no matter how tired and difficult they are, they can be completed to the letter.

"Then you can make up for him these days, it's not a long-term thing, and when the game is over, he has to go back to school."

On the morning of the first day of training, Nie Fangping sneaked away just to get a nutritious meal for Ye Qin, and for more than a week after that, Nie Fangping was almost changing his methods to give Ye Qin a supplement.

Zheng Kaifeng also saw Ye Qin's potential, and several tests of the 400-meter handwriting reached the level of less than 50 seconds, and the 200-meter can also reach a score of about 23 seconds. The potential talent was clear at a glance, and he had the idea of getting Ye Qin into the city team, but when he thought about it, he even gave up the avant-garde sports association, let alone the city team.

In recent years, although there has been no shortage of theories about the uselessness of universities on the market, Zheng Kaifeng also knows that some places and families have a very strong obsession with this. Everything is inferior, only reading is high, this is not to say. If you want to put down school and practice sports, it is difficult for you to talk to yourself or your family.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Nie Fangping sighed softly, "It's okay if I don't see it, I can't just leave it alone if I encounter it." The talent is really good, and Zhao Youcheng's bastard eyes are also poisonous enough. ”

"Old man, you love to worry about this life, people love to go to school, practice sports, practice sports, if you don't do so many things, I'm afraid it's time to prepare to retire from the provincial team."

Zheng Kaifeng shook his head, Nie Fangping's temperament, he was like this when he was an athlete, in order for his athletes to compete with various leaders, he was about to retire after so many years, and his rating did not go up, so he could only be trapped in such a small pond as a sports school.

……

The bus left Nanxiu City and went directly to the provincial highway, all the way south, to Zuohai City, the capital of Haixi Province.

The Haixi Provincial Youth Athletics Championships is the highest level of competition in Haixi Province. The organizers are the Haixi Provincial Education Bureau and the Haixi Provincial Department of Education, the organizers are the Zuohai Municipal Education Bureau and the Zuohai Athletics Association, the provincial capital, and the co-organizers are the Zuohai Sports Center, as well as several sponsoring companies.

In the southern part of Haixi Province, since the eighties and nineties, footwear and clothing companies have sprung up, and now there are dozens of fashion brands of different sizes, many of which are also involved in the field of sports.

After the bus entered the downtown area of Zuohai City, Ye Qin kept leaning on the window and looking at the high-rise buildings and streets along the way.

"Ye Qin, it's your first time coming to Zuohai, right?" Yu Hongwu, who was sitting on the same side, looked at Ye Qin's eyes and kept staring out of the window, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Hmm." Ye Qin nodded.

Before entering high school, he hadn't even been to Xiushui County a few times, and in the past half a year, he had been to Nanxiu City twice, and this time to Zuohai City, the provincial capital.

After going to Nanxiu City twice, he already had some impressions of the city, but when the bus entered Zuohai City, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

Xiushui County is now only five or six storey buildings near the commercial street, while Nanxiu City is better, many places can see more than a dozen storey buildings, and in Zuohai City, there are more high-rise buildings and more dense.

Especially when passing through the city center, there was a tide of people in front of the large commercial plaza, and the bustling atmosphere came to his face, even if he sat in the bus, he was faintly cramped.

The two buses of the Nanxiu City team first arrived at the dormitory building of the Zuohai Sports Center, and the staff had already waited there in advance to arrange accommodation. Boys' quadruple rooms, girls' two-person rooms, bedding and mattresses are new. The sports center has hosted many sports events before, and all aspects are well arranged.

After simply settling down, the Nanxiu City team gathered again to go to the canteen of Zuohai Sports Center for lunch, when eating at noon, Ye Qin thought that Zuohai City should have a normal meal with other team members, but as soon as he entered the canteen, he saw Nie Fangping waiting for him with a nutritious meal again, looking at Ye Qin's crying face, Yu Hongwu and Li Yongliang and other team members who were traveling together suddenly laughed happily.

The nutritious meal is less salt and less oil, light and tasteless, the teenager who grew up in a peasant family has always wanted salty and spicy rice, one meal is fine, after eating it for a week, Ye Qin feels a little nauseous and nauseous. In particular, the cup of nutrient solution that must be drunk at every meal tastes even more strange. But he didn't know what to do, and he also knew that Nie Fangping was really for his own good, since he started eating nutritious meals, he felt that his spirit was getting better and better this week, and after the high-intensity training, he still felt that he still had spare energy.

After lunch, we will rest for an hour, then gather for the afternoon to see the venue and warm up, and tomorrow morning we will continue to do adaptive training, and in the afternoon will be the opening ceremony, and then we will have to wait until the official start of the third day.

Out of the dormitory building of the sports center, the Nanxiu City team went to the Zuohai Sports Center under the leadership of Zheng Kaifeng and several staff.

The dormitory building of the sports center is a few hundred meters away from the venue, and when the bus goes around the other side in the morning, Ye Qin did not notice the appearance of the sports center, and when he followed the team to the outside of the stadium of the sports center, looking at the appearance of the huge stadium like a conch shell, Ye Qin only felt that his heart was beating faster.

The words magnificent, beautiful, magnificent and so on flashed in his mind, and the folds of the skin like a conch fully reflected and created a flexible sports space full of marine atmosphere. Compared with the open-air old stadium in the Nanxiu City Sports Center, Ye Qin felt that he had been shocked just by the appearance. It was the first time he had seen such a formal stadium.

After entering the stadium, Ye Qin's eyes kept scanning left and right all the way, from the two shell-like ceilings of the stadium, to the seats densely packed around the stadium with tens of thousands of people, as well as the 400-meter standard runway in the middle of the stadium, and a sky blue lawn football field surrounded by the middle of the track, all of which opened Ye Qin's eyes.

Ye Qin squatted down, just like the last time he saw the plastic runway in Nanxiu No. 1 Middle School, his fingers gently brushed the rough surface of the runway, and looked up at the distance where the runway extended, the day after tomorrow, he was going to compete here!
