Chapter 106: Quitting the National Team
Los Angeles Hospital, USA.
"Is it true that my wrist can't get back to its previous state? Nothing to do? ”
"Yes, with the current level of medical care, we can't completely recover, maybe in 30 or 50 years."
"Thirty years? At that time, I was already in my forties, and I was long past the golden age of my body, so how could I play? ”
"Then there's nothing I can do. Maybe there is a magical ancient method in your east that can help you. ”
……
Ye Hao finally knew his physical condition, especially the serious injury to his right wrist that had endangered his career.
"Ye Hao, we are sorry for you, if it weren't for Xin'er's willfulness, if it weren't for saving her, you wouldn't have been injured, and you wouldn't have ......" Lu Wei looked at Ye Hao, who was in distress after learning the truth, and said apologetically.
"Master, don't say that. If you hadn't brought me to the Capital Team and led me to the path of a professional table tennis player, I wouldn't have been able to achieve where I am now. Even if I can't return to my peak state in the future, it's not a big deal, I've already won the Grand Slam, and I can be regarded as climbing to the top of the mountain, and I have no regrets in this life! Ye Hao said seriously.
Indeed, although it has only been more than three years since he was reborn, Ye Hao's experience is perfect! In such a short period of time, he has gone from a primary school student to a table tennis Grand Slam winner, and has created brilliance that others can't imagine, and has completed a seemingly impossible leap. Compared with the mediocre more than 20 years in the previous life, the time of less than four years is more colorful and amazing.
"Alas......"
Although he listened to Ye Hao's words of relief, Lu Wei's heart was still full of guilt, a table tennis king who had just reached the top fell at a comet-like speed, and he was still so young, as his enlightenment teacher and leader, how could he not feel regret and pain?
"Master, I'm not crippled or paralyzed, it's not that serious, at most, it's just that I won't be so good at playing in the future. This is also to make way for the younger players behind, after all, you know, the national team is too competitive. Ye Hao pretended to be relaxed and said.
"But you're only fourteen!" Lu Wei muttered.
"When the injury is healed, let's see how well it recovers, maybe it's not that serious. Even if you can't play in the future, then the master and I will be mixed with you, you are a rich man! Ye Hao looked at Lu Wei and said with a wink.
"Well, then we'll see it when you recover!"
……
Ningcheng Airport, Sioux Province.
A couple was waiting anxiously, both with worried looks on their faces.
"Xiao Hao!"
When Ye Hao and his party walked out of the exit, Ye's father and Ye's mother, who couldn't wait, immediately pounced.
"Why are you so careless! How's your body doing now? Ye Mu asked with concern. Although Father Ye didn't speak, his eyes were also fixed on Ye Hao.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. The master took me to the United States to see the best doctors in the world, and now there is no problem. Ye Hao didn't want his parents to worry.
"Oh, Coach Lu, thank you so much!" Father Ye said gratefully.
"No, no, no, that's what I'm supposed to do."
"Mom and Dad, let's go home and talk about it."
"Okay, okay, go back and talk about it, Mom made you something delicious."
"What's delicious? Are there any braised pork balls and braised prawns in oil......"
……
"No, still no!"
"My backhand overlord can't be twisted!"
"The forehand rush is not strong enough."
"This arc ball doesn't turn enough!"
Three months later, Ye Hao's body has fully recovered, but when he began to train anew, he found that his right wrist was indeed unable to fully exert force, and many high-quality and high-level technical movements that could be easily completed were now no longer possible.
"It seems that my right hand will never be restored again, as the doctor said! Is this the end of my table tennis career? Ye Hao's heart was still full of unwillingness.
Although he has already won a Grand Slam, his career seems to have been completed, such as Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, they have only completed a Grand Slam. But Ye Hao originally had a greater plan in his heart, the Grand Slam was just the beginning, the Double Slam was not the end, and there were three unprecedented Grand Slams waiting for him in front of him. In his previous life, except for Zhang Yiling, who completed the double slam, all the other Grand Slam winners only completed it once, if Ye Hao was not injured, with his age, as long as he could maintain his form, the three Grand Slams were really not out of reach. Now, however, it has all come to naught!
……
"Director Liu, can I come in?" Ye Hao stood at the door of Liu Guoliang's office.
"Oh, it's Ye Hao, come in. Something? Liu Guoliang asked.
"Well, it's something." Ye Hao nodded. However, Ye Hao's next words surprised Liu Guoliang.
"I want to quit the national team!" Ye Hao's tone was resolute, without a trace of hesitation.
"What?" Liu Guoliang subconsciously asked rhetorically, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"I want to be able to quit the national team!" Ye Hao repeated it again.
Hearing the other party's firm words again, Liu Guoliang finally confirmed that Ye Hao was not joking with him. Thinking of Ye Hao's car accident a few months ago and the follow-up inspection results, Liu Guoliang knew that he would come after all, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and it was Ye Hao himself who took the initiative to bring it up.
With a complicated expression, Liu Guoliang, who was silent for a while, finally spoke: "Are you sure you really want to leave the national team?" Maybe after a while of training and recovery, you'll be able to come back. ”
"I know my own body best, and this time the serious injury to my right wrist has greatly reduced my strength, and I will never be able to return to my previous peak state. In terms of strength, even after a long period of training, it is impossible to be the same as before. Now my level is probably the level of the national second team, not even world-class, and if I continue to stay in the team, I just occupy a seat! Ye Hao calmly analyzed, as if the object he was talking about was not himself.
"Alas, since you have decided, I will not persuade you much. I'll report your request to the team. Liu Guoliang has already acquiesced to Ye Hao's analysis.
……
On December 1, 2004, more than three months after the end of the Athens Olympics, Ye Hao ushered in a belated press conference.
Reporter: "Was the car accident at the Athens Olympics the reason for your withdrawal from the national team this time?" ”
"That's right. As we all know, I injured my right hand in a car accident and it is difficult to get back to my previous form, which has led to a big reduction in my strength and is why I am quitting the national team.
Reporter: "Did you voluntarily decide to quit the national team, or did you have something else to hide?" ”
"This is my initiative to apply to the team, there is nothing so-called hidden!"
Reporter: "I heard that the provincial government of the Soviet Union has withdrawn the Olympic bonus given to you, is there such a thing?" ”
"I didn't pay attention to this because I had been concentrating on the recovery of my body for a while. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a prize money or not, as long as you can win honor for the country and hear the sound of the national anthem on the field, this is enough! ”
