Chapter 22: Back to the professional game
Killing, catching, putting the net, picking the backcourt, and then killing the ball - Han Cang and Shen Lingxue kept repeating this process, each other's kills could be catched, and the return of the ball was just right, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the basic skills of both sides were quite solid.
"Who the hell is that girl? She's so good at killing. Women's doubles player Yin Qi expressed her opinion, as a doubles player, she knows very well what kind of killing ball is good, Shen Lingxue killed seven or eight balls in a row, whether it is her swinging action or hitting effect, it can be called a textbook interpretation.
"And the continuous killing, the pace can be so steady, it shows that her physical fitness must be very good." Wen Xiaoya added, and at the same time thought silently in her heart: "Even better than me..."
The competition on the court continued, Han Cang and Shen Lingxue maintained the same rhythm, making balls to each other, killing and receiving, this is a tug-of-war, the badminton has never landed, it has been flying around on the field, and the continuous killing ball has a great loss to the badminton, and the incomplete flying feather will eventually make the player unable to hit the return ball he wants, and at that moment, it is the time to distinguish the winner and loser.
It's like two gamblers playing a game of a revolver with only one bullet in the gun, who exactly happens to be hit by that bullet? The answer will only be revealed at the moment of shooting.
Han Cang and Shen Lingxue each killed nearly ten balls, and they could clearly feel that the badminton was almost to the limit, each kill required more strength to play the same speed and route, and the catch also needed to increase the appropriate wrist strength to help the badminton fly over the net, and the moment when the winner was decided was getting closer and closer...
In the blink of an eye, Shen Lingxue suddenly started her hand and hit a slashing diagonal shot, the angle of this ball is actually a little crooked, because the feathers on the ball holder are incomplete, like a withered rose, so in order to ensure the power of the kill, her rotation amplitude is greater when she goes out of the racket, and the changes on her wrist are faster, which is a bit of a feeling of overforce, causing the angle of this slash to be slanted, and the ball is in danger of flying out of the sideline.
But Han Cang didn't hesitate, he still ran over to catch the kill as soon as possible, only to see him backhand, the moment the badminton touched the racket, he suddenly swung his arm sharply, and returned a shot of the backcourt ball with very poor quality, the flight height of the ball was not enough, and the arc was also very small, which was equivalent to a flat high ball, just happened to be seized by Shen Lingxue, and started to pump the ball, the change on the wrist was very fast, just listen to "Bang!" The racket hits the shuttlecock like a whip, and the sound is "spicy" and "crispy" - but this kind of draw is very unwise at this time, because the feathers on the ball holder have been mutilated, although the flat draw is fast, but the flight distance of the ball is not as far as the high ball and the flat high ball, the normal flat draw can only hit the opponent's midfield, not to mention that now the ball has been broken, and the broken feather can't fly that far at all.
I saw that after Shen Lingxue swung the racket, the initial speed of the badminton was still very fast, but when it was about to sweep over the net, it had already lost its momentum and fell lightly, but Han Cang seized the opportunity, blocked the net with a play, and hit the ball on Shen Lingxue's court, ending this tug-of-war.
The moment the ball landed, the club players watching the game on the sidelines finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in the end, it was their coaches who were superior and won this eye-opening killing battle.
Wang Yuxuan took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the people also applauded together, but the focus of the female players was not Han Cang, but Shen Lingxue on the other side, they were conquered by Shen Lingxue's skills in their hearts, and seeing her movements when she killed the ball, she was elegant and powerful, which was simply pleasing to the eye.
"Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky..."Wen Xiaoya couldn't help but say.
The game was over, Han Cang bypassed the net and walked in front of Shen Lingxue, only to see her smile at Han Cang and say, "Okay, brother, have you really not played again for more than a year?" I see that your skills have not fallen behind at all! ”
Han Cang said calmly: "I've played and played, you have all seen it, I'm doing well now, I can rest assured Coach Shen when I go back." ”
He took the racket from Shen Lingxue's hand, then turned around and walked towards the sidelines, returned the racket to Zhu Qing, and arranged for all the members of the club to practice killing and killing, just using the kind of play he had just played with Shen Lingxue.
In fact, after watching the two of them just played a magical interpretation of killing the ball and catching the kill, the members of the club were already eager to try, but the venue was limited, and they could only go to six groups at a time, that is, 12 people, and the rest went to find the corresponding venue according to their own positioning to observe the performance of their teammates, for example, some members of the club were men's singles substitutes, so he went to observe the practice of Ai Ze and Liu Hainan, and some members were women's doubles substitutes, so they went to observe the practice of Yin Qi and Xia Youxi.
After all the players were arranged, Han Cang walked towards the door of the stadium, and Shen Lingxue followed behind him.
"How did you get here?" Standing at the door of the arena, Han Cang stopped, turned around and asked.
"By plane, I happen to have an acquaintance here, so I borrowed a car for me." Shen Lingxue put her sunglasses back on her forehead, and she temporarily took them off when she was on the court before.
Han Cang nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xiaoxue, you came to me, it's not just as simple as looking at me, right?" Is there something else going on? ”
About Coach Shen's daughter, Han Cang is very familiar, he has more than ten years of master-apprentice relationship with Shen Yuntian, Shen Yuntian treats him as his own child, and Shen Lingxue is like his sister, although Shen Lingxue is not a professional badminton player, but she has been familiar with badminton since she was a child, her father is the coach of the provincial team, and her brother is the elite of the provincial team, so her ball skills can be said to be natural, but the career of a professional athlete is very hard, Shen Yuntian feels sorry for her daughter, That's why she didn't develop in the direction of a professional sports person.
Shen Lingxue smiled slightly, then put away her previous cynical look, and suddenly became serious: "There is a few news, my father didn't want me to tell you, but I said it anyway." ”
"What's the news?" Han Cang asked.
Shen Lingxue: "First, do you remember Xu Muyang?" After he defeated you last year, he went to the national team for a trial, and he is already an official player this year, which means that Xu Muyang will be a national brand from now on, and he will go to the Beijing Olympics next year with the team. ”
Han Cang couldn't help but smile bitterly, this first news hit so hard, no wonder Coach Shen didn't let Xiaoxue tell him.
"Then I can only congratulate him, I hope he can win the gold medal and win glory for the country." Han Cang said.
Shen Lingxue snorted disdainfully, obviously she didn't believe Han Cang's words, so she said: "Pull it down, he went to the national team to be a sparring partner for others, and he only wanted to be trained after only a year of being trained, is it possible?" Not to mention signing up for next year's Olympics, and besides, the national team is so competitive that it is difficult to assign him to play doubles. ”
What Shen Lingxue said was also reasonable, Han Cang couldn't help sighing, he and Xu Muyang are also old rivals, although he lost to Xu Muyang in the National Games last year, but Han Cang has never hated each other, let alone jealousy, the person he really hates is himself, he hates why he can't train harder, why can't he hold on a little more, he knows very well that it was his own problems that led to that defeat, and it was not only the game that he lost, but also the hearts of the people, he lived up to Coach Shen's trust and expectations for himself, He put his teammates under undue pressure and blame, and this is what caused him to quit and say goodbye to the badminton world, and he can't forgive himself.
For Xu Muyang's development in the national team, Han Cang can't help much, he can only say that he blesses his old opponent, because Xu Muyang is also a very powerful player, and he has received due honor and applause for his own efforts, these Han Cang has also had, he can experience all kinds of tastes and feelings, so he really feels that Xu Muyang can have this opportunity to stand on a bigger stage to shine, it is a very honorable thing, I can't help but doubt or jealousy, even in the depths of my heart, He still has a little envy and loss.
Han Cang came back to his senses, sighed again, and said, "Okay, I know the news, what else is the news?" ”
I saw Shen Lingxue's eyes roll, her eyes became a little sharp, and she said word by word: "I know that it is impossible for you to return to the provincial team, but have you ever thought about going to another place to continue to play your talents in the professional arena." ”
Han Cang smiled bitterly, avoiding Shen Lingxue's gaze and looking away: "It's impossible, I don't want to go to any provincial team anymore." ”
Shen Lingxue's words changed, and a ghostly light suddenly flashed in her eyes: "I'm not talking about domestic. ”
