Chapter 34: Advance Qualification

Han Cang rested in the room until about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, because there was still a hard-fought battle with Chen Feng at two o'clock, so he didn't eat a meal, just ate a few bananas, drank a glass of protein powder, supplemented some sports drinks, and then packed up his equipment and went out.

The reason why this game with Chen Feng is called a tough match is because Chen Feng and Han Cang are very similar, they are the only defensive players in the current fast-paced game environment, the technical characteristics of the two are very similar, and the style is also very similar, the only difference is that Han Cang has retired, and Chen Feng is still insisting, and as old players, the two of them have one thing in common, they are very dedicated to the game.

Han Cang entered the passage half an hour early, he originally thought that he had come early, but he didn't expect Chen Feng to also appear at the other end of the entrance passage, the two of them walked towards each other, and stopped when they came to the center of the passage:

They didn't speak, they just stood there, their eyes fixed on each other, their minds recalling the last time they had fought each other.

Meanwhile:

"Speaking of which, this Han Cang and Chen Feng are still two brothers from the same school." In the private room on the second floor, I only listened to Coach Ma.

The jury has already arrived, including several regional managers, but Xu Bin is missing, but there is still half an hour before the start of the competition, and it is normal that he does not appear.

Gao Ya listened to Coach Ma's words and asked with interest: "Wasn't this Han Cang from the Shandong team before, Chen Feng was from the Guangdong team, how did the two of them become brothers?" ”

Several regional managers also came over, including Zhang Wenlin, although he still has a certain understanding of Han Cang, but that Chen Feng is not very familiar, only that he is also a veteran.

Coach Ma smiled and said with popular science: "Han Cang and Chen Feng were both brought into the provincial team by Shen Yuntian, the earliest Chen Feng was in the Shandong team, before the 15-point system, he and Han Cang were under the tutelage of Lao Shen, that is really the ace twin stars of the Shandong team, both are very good at the defensive players of the Quartet, in that era, it was almost the double insurance of the champion, but later Chen Feng was asked to go by the Guangdong team. At first glance, it seems that the Shandong team has lost a lot of vitality, who would have thought that Chen Feng would go like this, Han Cang instead carried the banner, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and his state improved very quickly, it was like a hanging, and he swept through various provincial teams in those years, and compared all the masters including Wang Zheye and Xu Muyang, and became the most powerful defensive player in that period. ”

Gao Ya smiled slightly when she heard this, and continued to ask, "Then what happened to this Chen Feng?" ”

Coach Ma raised his head and sighed, and said: "The strength is okay, it is a quasi-first-line player, and he went to the Guangdong team as the second singles, although it is still a little worse than Xu Muyang, but the Guangdong team is better treated, and his results have been good since he went, although he didn't win any championships, but it can't be said to be a loss." ”

Gao Ya nodded and asked, "So, there shouldn't be any suspense in this game, right?" ”

Coach Ma smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Gao, do you have an opinion on what I said before?" I admit that I looked away before, Han Cang is indeed better than I expected, his current competitive state is even better than his previous performance in the provincial team, Chen Feng may not be able to win. ”

Gao Ya seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, only to see the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a proud expression, as if hearing others praise Han Cang as if she was praising herself, this detail was captured by Zhang Wenlin on the side, he couldn't help snickering in his heart, after all, he was a person from the past, and he could be an elegant uncle, how could he not know what the little girl's smile meant.

"You kid is really lucky..."Zhang Wenlin couldn't help but think that looking at the upcoming game on the field below, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

……

The game started at two o'clock and ended at half past three, Han Cang won the game steadily, but he lost the second game, so he played three rounds, but there were no twists and turns in the whole process, he and Chen Feng were completely fighting for basic skills, less mistakes than whom, and in the end Han Cang's skills were superior, and there was no mistake in the whole third game, with a total score of 21-16, 19-21, 21-18, and a total score of 2-1 to win this hard-fought battle, winning both games, and currently ranking first in the winner's group.

After the game, Han Cang still followed the etiquette of the arena, shook hands with the referees one by one, and also shook hands with Chen Feng, and then turned around and left.

For this result, everyone in the private room on the second floor is still relatively satisfied, and it can even be said that it is completely expected, but Xu Bin's face is a little ugly, especially when he sees Zhang Wenlin's face full of spring breeze, he is holding his breath in his heart, and he feels that he is about to get out of internal injury.

In the next two days, Han Cang turned on the invincible mode, except for the three games with Chen Feng, the rest of the games were won 2-0 without exception, swept the winner's group, and finally qualified with the first point, and the second place in the winner's group was Xiao Zhan, and they advanced to the semifinals at the same time.

On the other hand, the competition in the losers' group was more fierce, Lin Huang and Wang Zhe also had a 3-1 record, and they had to play an extra game.

On the evening of the fourth day, Gao Ya and the two vice presidents hosted a banquet on behalf of the company for all the players and referees, as well as coach Ma Luoping and five regional managers.

The atmosphere of the banquet is very harmonious, after the end of the room, they will go back to their rooms to rest, and the players who are eliminated early tomorrow morning will be sent to the airport and the station by the company.

Manager Zhang personally sent Han Cang back to the room to rest, but when he entered the room, he beckoned Han Cang to sit down at the dining table, poured him a glass of water, and said, "I want to congratulate you in advance, boy, the company has decided to sponsor you to participate in the All England Open Challenge." ”

Han Cang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Isn't it just now that the top four have been decided?" I didn't even finish the semi-finals, so why did I decide who to let go? ”

Manager Zhang sneered, glanced at Han Cang meaningfully, and said, "Who to let go is not a matter of the leader's words?" The most important thing is that you have the best results in these four days, the only candidate who has maintained a winning record, who do you say you don't want to let go? ”

Han Cang listened to it and continued to ask: "Aren't there two places, if I am selected, then who is the other one?" ”

I saw that Manager Zhang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he smiled bitterly and said, "It's Xiao Zhan, the candidate recommended by Xu Bin." ”

Han Cang was a little surprised when he heard this, he originally thought it would be the one between Wang Zheye and Lin Huang, but how did it turn out to be Xiao Zhan?

Manager Zhang saw his thoughts, so he said: "It is impossible for Lin Huang to be considered, because you and he are both recommended by me, there are a total of two guaranteed places, it is impossible for me to monopolize them as the regional manager, and I have to leave a place for other managers, so it seems fair." ”

Han Cang was puzzled: "Shouldn't the fairness of the public be based on the result of the game?" How to ......"

Manager Zhang smiled and beckoned to him, explaining: "Even if you look at the results of the game, don't forget that Xiao Zhan is from the winner's group like you, if you just look at the record, he has one more victory than Wang Zheye and Lin Huang, and he is a candidate recommended by Xu Bin, from the Jiangsu provincial team, but in the same place as our company, it is reasonable to vote for him......"

To put it bluntly, one of these two places has been set a long time ago, and the other is reserved for outsiders to fight for, and Han Cang is the outsider, he won this place with his own strength.

Han Cang listened, nodded silently, and didn't ask any more. After all, he is just a player, he only knows how to win games, and things outside the arena are not his forte, nor are they he can manage.

Manager Zhang patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Tomorrow I will take you around Nanjing, buy something to take back, and by the way, I will explain to you about applying for a visa, and the next time we meet, it will be on the flight to London, come on!" ”
