Chapter 107: Stubbornness
Ye Qin turned around and wiped his eyes with his arm, as if because he didn't know whether it was rain or sweat on his arm, after wiping it, his eyes became more and more red.
"Good run, Yechin!"
Ye Lidong smiled and patted the young man's back, he had seen athletes cry many times in the arena, and today he saw it again.
A friend from other industries once asked him a question, when they saw an athlete win a medal at the end of the competition on TV, was the scene of tears in his eyes a show of true feelings, or was it a show?
Ye Lidong was furious at that time.
If they weren't sportsmen, they really wouldn't know what these young players were going through.
Many athletes start playing sports at a young age, and they have been doing it for decades. The whole life is all about, a ring, a runway, a table. The sweat that has been shed, the injuries that have been suffered, the incomprehension that has been encountered, and so on are also around these.
The stress and emotions that have been carried for many years are released, and those efforts that have been ridiculed as "useless" by the world are "recognized" on the world stage. The sense of loss that has not been rewarded for many times has finally been proven to be in vain at this moment.
Therefore, if you see an athlete who doesn't cry when he loses his blood and flesh and tears the moment he wins the gold medal after the game, then the process of his sports career must have endured unimaginable suffering.
The front is splendid and prosperous, and the back is the abyss.
Ye Lidong can understand this sentiment very well.
Ye Qin, a young man from a mountain village in a small place, was originally begged by Nie Fangping to join the delegation and participate in the World Junior Championships. From a high school in a small county town in a remote mountainous area to a competition on the world stage, Ye Lidong can imagine how much he has experienced along the way.
But this teenager, after all, has achieved good results on the world-class stage.
The third place in the men's 400m, the bronze medal, this result is really heavier than the gold medal weight in many events in Ye Lidong's heart.
But the next moment, Ye Qin opened his mouth to say a word, which made Ye Lidong slightly stunned.
"I'm sorry, Director Ye, I didn't make a good run! I didn't get the first place! ”
Ye Qin's voice trembled slightly, Ye Lidong could feel the young man's tense muscles when he reached out and grabbed Ye Qin's arm, and he paid attention to the young man's eyes.
There were tears in his red eyes, but in the red bloodshot eyes, he saw a sense of unwillingness and stubbornness.
This young man, at this moment, he feels like a weed growing in a crack in a rock, unwilling and stubborn.
He thought that at this moment, Ye Qin left tears of joy, joy and excitement that he finally won the card in the World Junior Championship after twists and turns, but he never thought that Ye Qin at this moment had such a strong unwillingness.
This time the World Junior Championships men's 400m Ye Lidong has never thought about what kind of results he wants from the beginning, Ye Qin can break into the final is already a surprise for Ye Lidong, to be able to get the third place, and to win the card, it is even more unexpected for him.
Although the World Junior Championships have received much less attention than the World Junior Championships and World Championships, no one can deny that this is a world-class competition, and it is the most important world-class competition for young people under the age of 17.
Ye Chin's achievements are, in his opinion, good enough. This is the best result ever achieved by a junior in the men's sprint event, including an adult man, at an international level.
But now, he looked at Ye Qin's red eyes, which seemed to be on fire.
He never thought that the boy would cry because his grades were not good enough.
"Silly boy, you've run well." Ye Lidong then laughed, suddenly a little distressed, and a little relieved, he saw more of the kind of athletes who were ecstatic because they ran their personal bests, and compared with Ye Qin's performance at this time, he felt that Ye Qin's rarity was even more valuable.
Such a strong competitive spirit deeply touched him at this moment.
He patted the black thin boy who was about the same height as him again, felt the other party's rapid breathing and tense muscles, and slowly reassured, "Really, Ye Qin, you have run very well." You won a medal and set the best time in the men's 400m at the World Junior Championships, which is something we could never have imagined. ”
"But...... But...... I'd love to win, Coach Ye! Ye Qin's head lowered slightly, his voice was not loud, but he was full of unwillingness, "I have never lost before, I really want to win, I want to be the first to cross the finish line!" ”
When he understood before the race, he didn't want to run, not because he was forced, not just because he was favored.
It was only when he stood on the runway that he felt his value, and only then did he know that he had a new choice, a new life, and he no longer looked at the competition and results with the same mentality as before.
When he saw that the two Sudanese and the United States in front of him were always ahead of him in the last few tens of meters on the track, and he couldn't catch up, and when he saw the results come out, he was more than a second behind the first place, and the huge excitement and strong sense of guilt almost made him not know how to face it.
"It's okay, the arena is like a battlefield, there is no eternal winning general, you are still young, I remember Coach Nie said that your time to practice sports is also short, in the future, you will have many opportunities to win and defeat your opponents! Good boy, rejoice, this is a good result, think you have the semi-finals and finals of the 200m tomorrow! ”
Ye Lidong listened to the young man's unwilling words, felt his low mood, and thought of his calmness in the previous games, and the huge gap was reflected, which made him feel the heat in the heart of the young man in front of him.
After all, it is a young man, and it will be extremely important to win or lose.
But having such a sense of victory is a quality that an athlete needs!
"Yes, I still have 200 meters!"
Ye Qin stood in place, slowly raised his head, as if he was suddenly woken up by Ye Lidong, a 400-meter loss, he still has 200 meters, he still has a game!
suddenly
"Uh......"
Ye Qin just looked up at the results on the big screen, and his body suddenly spasmed.
Holding Ye Lidong with one hand, he began to pant violently, and the whole person seemed to feel a little unsteady on his feet.
"What's wrong, Ye Chin?"
Ye Lidong's expression changed, and he hurriedly helped Ye Qin, and hurriedly beckoned to the other members of the Chinese team who were also coming over next to him.
"Old Zhou, Doctor Jiang, come over quickly!"
Zhou Bin, the leader of the team, and a middle-aged woman in sportswear were standing not far away, and after seeing Ye Lidong beckoning, they hurriedly ran over in a few steps.
Zhou Bin hung Ye Qin's arm on his shoulder and gently helped his back, and the middle-aged woman, Jiang Shaofen, the team doctor of the team, reached out on Ye Qin's chest and gently smoothed it with his palm.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the intensity is too great, the person is a little out of strength, and the body is a little uncomfortable."
Jiang Shaofen checked it a little, and probably knew Ye Qin's condition at this time, and said to Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin.
"That's good, that's good!" Ye Lidong exhaled silently, and when he heard that it was just a physical discomfort caused by too much intensity, he immediately relieved himself.
He was really afraid that Ye Qin would suddenly have something abnormal in his body, and this young man who had just impressed him all of a sudden really made Ye Lidong full of expectations for his future.
"This should be the best result that Ye Qin has run, and it is much better than the last time we recorded the results in the field management center!"
Zhou Bin, who was standing with Ye Qin, said with a smile, he could also imagine that the young man had almost all his strength, so his body was a little uncomfortable.
"Well, let's go, let's hold on to one of us, leave the field and let Ye Qin rest for a while, and wait for us to have a women's shot put final."
Ye Lidong said, grabbed Ye Qin's other arm, put it on his shoulder, and helped Ye Qin slowly walk towards the field.
"Director Ye, Director Zhou, you don't have to help me, I can walk by myself, so many people are watching......"
"Hey, you stinky boy, you're not happy to help you two of us! Let's go, let's rest! Wait for Dr. Jiang to relax your muscles. ”
"That's right, but Ye Qin, 47.23 seconds, this result, you are already a national athlete!"
