Chapter 188
Late at night, Zhao Yue lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At noon, the words of his parents made Zhao Yue feel a lot.
He is 26 years old, and he is no longer an ignorant youth, many young people his age have already started their own families, have children, or even two children.
And Zhao Yue felt that he still had nothing to do, and his family owed a lot of debt because of him.
"If I hadn't practiced sports or been an athlete back then, but had studied hard, I might have had a stable job, got married and had children by now!" Zhao Yue rolled over and sighed a little wistfully.
"But what can I do if I'm not an athlete? Do you want to set up a stall to sell breakfast? Zhao Yue turned over again, he knew that many people who set up stalls to sell breakfast made a lot of money, at least more than being an unknown athlete.
"I've been practicing sports for more than ten years, do you want to give up now?" When Zhao Yue thought of this, he felt a little pain in his heart, and more unwillingly.
After all, this is a career he has been engaged in for more than ten years, and once entered the national team, it seems that the future is limitless, how can he be willing to give up now?
Zhao Yue didn't want to give up, but when he thought of his parents, he couldn't bear it, so the second elder kept worrying.
If Zhao Yue was a few years younger and had not experienced the misdiagnosis of bone cancer, he would definitely choose to continue to be an athlete, but now that he has experienced that kind of setback, he has matured a lot psychologically, and he can't do his own thing like he did when he was a child, completely ignoring the feelings and thoughts of his family.
"My parents are getting older, they're worried about me, and they really can't take a second blow. For them, it is the greatest happiness for the family to be safe......"
Zhao Yue silently took a deep breath: "My parents have paid so much for me, I should also fulfill the wishes of their second elders!" I can't be as willful as a child anymore. β
Zhao Yue finally made up his mind, he put away his dream of being an athlete, and he decided to stay at Nandu University to study and successfully obtained a master's degree. If you can stay in school after graduation, of course, it is best, if you can't stay in school, you must rely on your master's degree to find a decent job.
β¦β¦
The University Games are over, and Li Dai's work at Tsinghua University has come to an end for the time being. Without the competition, there will naturally be no training tasks, and Li Dai will return to the national team and continue to study with Xue Li.
Tsinghua University is naturally very satisfied with Li Dai's training results, and won a gold medal and a bronze medal in the 100-meter sprint event, which is also the best result achieved by Tsinghua University in the 100-meter sprint event of the Universiade.
"Coach Li, thank you very much for your contribution to our Tsinghua University. It's been a hard time for you these past few months. Professor Fang handed a box to Li Dai: "We don't have any good things to give to you at Tsinghua University, this is a souvenir made by us on the occasion of the centennial celebration of Tsinghua University, and I gave it to Coach Li as a souvenir!" β
"Thank you, Professor Mao!" Li Dai took the souvenir with both hands.
Tsinghua University has a special souvenir service department, which is opened by the Tsinghua University Foundation, which will sell all kinds of Tsinghua souvenirs, with a complete range and good quality, but the price must be a lot more expensive. However, the money earned by Tsinghua University will also be used for the education of poor students.
Li Dai also went shopping, which included bookmarks, pens, notepads and other stationery, as well as some small items such as keychains and school emblems, as well as postcards and high-end souvenir gift boxes.
Although Li Dai didn't know what was in this gift box, he knew that the souvenir of the centennial celebration had become a limited edition and could not be bought outside.
Next to him, Xue Li also had a smile on his face, his protΓ©gΓ© did a good job, and of course Xue Li had a light on his face.
Xue Li came to Tsinghua University this time, of course, not to take Li Dai away, he hoped to recruit Yang Sijie, Niu Guohong and Xin Xiaotian into the national team, and also brought special written documents.
However, these three people are all students of Tsinghua University, and Xue Li must of course reach a consensus with Tsinghua University in advance.
"Niu Guohong is already a senior student, he is about to graduate, we at Tsinghua University will agree with his own choice, if he is willing to enter the national team and play for the country, of course we Tsinghua University will fully support it."
Professor Fang paused, and then said: "Xin Xiaotian, he is now in his third year of college, whether to join the national team, we at Tsinghua University will also respect his personal opinion, if he is willing to go to the national team, we can keep his studies and help him go through the procedures for a suspension." β
A fourth-year college student like Niu Guohong either begins to prepare for future employment or begins to review for graduate school entrance examinations. For students at Tsinghua University, it is naturally fragrant in the job market, and it is even easier to go to graduate school.
If you can enter the national team and become a professional athlete, it is also a good way to find employment, and if the athlete can achieve results in international competitions and truly win glory for the country, Tsinghua University will also have a lot of face.
As for Xin Xiaotian, he is now in his third year of college and will graduate in more than a year. But considering that the National Universiade has just ended, there will be no large-scale university competitions in the next year or so. When there is another big competition, Xin Xiaotian is also about to graduate, and it is almost impossible to represent Tsinghua University, so it makes no sense for Tsinghua to keep Xin Xiaotian, it is better to sell his favor to the national team.
Professor Fang continued: "About Yang Sijie, we Tsinghua really can't be the master, Yang Sijie's father is Academician Yang Lin, that is, Yang Lin who won the Nobel Prize, Yang Sijie entered our Tsinghua University's Sports Department, and it was also arranged by Academician Yang Lin, so Yang Sijie has to go to Academician Yang Lin and ask for his opinion." With Academician Yang's status in the academic world, he said one, we dare not say two. β
"Okay, let's go find Academician Yang." Xue Li nodded, and then asked, "Then where should we go to find Academician Yang?" Is it the Chinese Academy of Sciences? β
"Academician Yang has his own laboratory, which is not far from our Tsinghua University, and it will take less than five minutes to get there if there is no traffic jam. Professor Fang took out his mobile phone, checked it, and then wrote a phone number on a small piece of paper, handed it to Xue Li, and then added:
"By the way, if Coach Xue goes to Academician Zhao Yang, it is best to bring his documents, Academician Yang's laboratory management is very strict, his research involves the national strategic level, and there will be staff from the national security department stationed there for a long time."
β¦β¦
Xue Li took Li Dai and drove to Yang Lin's laboratory.
"Coach, at this Universiade, Zhao Yue's results are also good, should our national team recruit him?" Li Dai asked.
"I know that Zhao Yue also ran 10.42 seconds, and finally lost to Yang Sijie by a millimeter." Xue Li continued: "But Zhao Yue is 26 years old this year. 19-year-old Yang Sijie ran a 10.42 seconds, but a real genius, 26-year-old Zhao Yue ran the same result, he can only be regarded as a relatively good athlete! And Zhao Yue has been trained by the national team, so he doesn't have much potential to tap anymore. β
"When we recruit for the national team, we don't just look at results, but also look at many factors, among which potential is one of the important factors we consider. After all, the training resources of the national team are also limited, and many times, our training resources will be tilted towards young and potential athletes. β
"The 100-meter sprint event is already very competitive, and there will always be young potential newcomers who continue to emerge, not to mention the genius Yang Sijie, even if it is Tsinghua's Niu Guohong, if he stays in the national team for two years, the level will be higher than Zhao Yue's. So even if Zhao Yue came to the national team, he had no chance to participate. β
Xue Li said this and sighed: "I know that you are very sympathetic to Zhao Yue's experience, and I am also sympathetic to him, but we can't bring personal feelings into our work, because we are coaches, we are using the resources provided by the state, and we are training athletes for the country!" It's business! β
Xue Li's words became more serious, and he continued: "Xiao Li, one day in the future, when you reach my position, or even climb to a higher position than me, you will understand. The power in your hands represents a responsibility, and the state puts power in your hands to trust you, and you must also shoulder this responsibility. β
"The selection of athletes is originally the ability to go up and the mediocre, because competitive sports must rely on strength after all, so we can't show favoritism. You have to remember that where the duty lies, you have to do business! β
Li Dai was silent for a few seconds, he really wanted to help Zhao Yue, but he also knew that what Xue Li said was right.
However, Li Dai did not give up, he continued: "Zhao Yue's current situation is indeed difficult to stand out in the 100-meter sprint event. But I think he can try to run 200 meters. I mean, let him specialize in 200 meters! β
"Do you want to run 200 meters?" Xue Li glanced at Li Dai, but found that Li Dai's eyes were full of confidence.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in Zhao Yue?" Xue Li asked.
"Well, I think Zhao Yue will be suitable for running 200 meters, let him specialize in 200 meters, and he will achieve better results! And his experience, his technique, if he specializes in the 200m, he can produce results in a short time. Li Dai said.
Another point is that Li Dai did not tell Xue Li, when he was in the Universiade before, when Li Dai detected Zhao Yue, he found a situation.
Zhao Yue's talent in the sprint 100 meters is B, the same as Niu Guohong.
At the same time, the detector also gave Zhao Yue the talent of sprinting 200 meters, which is B+!
