At breakfast time, Li Dai saw Zhao Yue again in the hotel's restaurant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Do you want to tell him the truth about his forced retirement?" Li Dai hesitated

"It's been three years, and now Zhao Yue doesn't really suffer from bone cancer. You can't let Coach Xue carry the black pot for a lifetime! Wanting to fight here, Li Dai finally took the dinner plate and walked over.

"There's no one here, right?" Li Dai pointed to the position in front of Zhao Yue.

"Coach Li, there's no one here, please take a seat!" Zhao Yue did not reject Li Dai, the two were of the same age, and they would have had more feelings of closeness.

After Li Dai sat down, he chatted casually with Zhao Yue before he spoke: "I had a phone call with Coach Xue Li of the national team yesterday. ”

At the mention of the name of "Xue Li", Zhao Yue really frowned.

"Actually, some time ago, I have been studying in the national team, and Coach Xue is my teacher. I went to Tsinghua University to be a coach, and he arranged it. Li Dai took the lead in explaining, and then said, "I told Coach Xue about you. ”

Zhao Yue put down the chopsticks in his hand and raised his head with a somewhat unkind face: "What did he say?" ”

"Xue Lian told me the truth about your forced retirement back then." Li Dai calmed down for a moment, and then said: "At that time, your mother went to the national team and asked you to retire. ”

"My mother?" Zhao Yue looked a little surprised.

Li Dai told Zhao Yue everything Xue Li said, but after Zhao Yue listened, he fell silent and was silent for a long time.

There is a saying that knows the son Mo Ruo's father, and the reverse is the same, his own parents, of course, will know very well when they are children, and Zhao Yue himself knows very well that his mother will definitely do this kind of thing.

Zhao Yue understands that in the matter of forced retirement, he may be wrong to blame the national team.

Li Dai also didn't speak again, he let Zhao Yue digest this information before asking, "Does your mother not support you as an athlete?" ”

"How to say it! In the past, she was very supportive, but since I was misdiagnosed with bone cancer, he has been persuading me not to be an athlete anymore. Zhao Yue let out a long sigh, and then added: "My mother has no culture, she has always felt that my 'bone cancer' is because of sprinting. ”

"Then do you still hate the national team?" Li Dai then asked.

"I don't know." Zhao Yue shook his head: "I really don't know!" ”

Zhao Yue looked a little confused and a little painful. Over the years, he has been haunted by the forced retirement, but the truth he knows today has turned his perception upside down.

"I hope you might be able to untie this knot." Li Dai continued: "You should know that it is impossible for our country's track and field athletes to break away from the system and enter the national team to play for the country, which is also the ultimate destination of athletes. ”

"If you choose the path of being an athlete, it means that you have to keep sprinting to a higher level and sooner or later you have to face the national team. Even if you retire in the future and become a coach, with the status of Nandu University, you will definitely have an intersection with the national team, you can't be like this, face the national team with hatred all your life! ”

"Besides, you're only 26 years old now, and you still have a chance to get back to the top and back to the national team!" Li Dai said this, and deliberately looked at Zhao Yue seriously, and the desire in Zhao Yue's eyes flashed, but it happened to be captured by Li Dai.

Then, Zhao Yue shook his head: "I'm already 26 years old, how can I go to the national team again, the national team won't want me." I ran a 10.42 seconds in this competition, which is a very good result, if it is an athlete in his early twenties, he will definitely get a call-up to the national team, but a 26-year-old athlete who runs a time of 10.42 seconds, it is impossible to go to the national team. ”

"But this 10.42 seconds is not your limit, is it? You are still far from your peak. Li Dai continued: "Lin Feixiang was able to break the world record for the second time when he was 26 years old. As long as you don't give up, I think you can get back to the top of your game. ”

Speaking of Lin Feixiang, Zhao Yue suddenly thought of something.

"Lin Feixiang? I remember, when you were at the Beikou training base, you were the coach who followed Lin Feixiang! Zhao Yue said suddenly.

Li Dai smiled and nodded, and Zhao Yue finally remembered himself.

……

There is an intercity high-speed rail from Wanzhou City to Nandu, and it is more convenient for Zhao Yue to go home. He left the hotel at nine o'clock in the morning, and when he got home, lunch had not yet begun.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Zhao Yue returned home, although it was a small rented house, as long as the family was there, it was a warm home.

"Xiaoyue is back, your mother is cooking in the house!" Zhao Yue's father spoke.

Last night, Zhao Yue had already told his parents that he had won a silver medal, so the second elder didn't ask about the competition.

"I'm going to help my mom cook!" Zhao Yue put down his bag, took off his coat, and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, a few side dishes were placed on the table, although they were not sumptuous, but they were also nutritionally balanced.

"Xiaoyue, it's hard to go out to compete, eat more." Zhao Yue's mother kept filling up vegetables for Zhao Yue.

"Enough, enough." Zhao Yue took a big bite of rice and said very casually: "I went to Wanzhou to play this time and met an acquaintance, who is now a coach of the national team. ”

Zhao Yue's parents did not answer, or they were unwilling to answer.

So Zhao Yue continued: "He told me that when I was misdiagnosed, you went to the national team and looked for the head coach. ”

Zhao Yue's parents stopped the chopsticks in their hands at the same time, and then glanced at each other, they knew that the matter could not be hidden.

In the end, it was Zhao Yue's father who spoke: "Yes, we went to the national team at that time and met the head coach of the national team, Zhao Shuren, and the assistant head coach Xue Li. The thing that makes you retire is also what we take the initiative to ask the national team. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yue to ask why, his father continued: "Your mother and I don't want you to continue to be an athlete. The lump in your leg, although it was finally confirmed that it was not bone cancer and was cured, was caused by years of training. It's not bone cancer this time, so what about next time? What about later? ”

Zhao Yue's father sighed a little melancholy, and then said: "Your mother and I are both old, and we can't stand the toss, if you continue to train, if you really get bone cancer, what will you do with me and your mother?" ”

Next to him, Zhao Yue's mother also said: "We are such a son as you, we don't need you to get ahead, we don't need you to win so many championships, we don't need you to make a lot of money, we just hope you can be safe, our family is together, and your father and I will be content." ”

"After you came back from the United States, you and I have been worried about you, and we were afraid that you really had that bone cancer. Your dad and I also have some information, many athletes, because of long-term training, they will be accompanied by disability for life, especially when they are older, it will be very painful. We don't want you to be like that. Zhao Yue's father spoke.

Next to him, Zhao Yue's mother also immediately persuaded: "Xiaoyue, listen to my mother, let's not go to training, we won't be athletes!" ”
