Duke drove to the retreat center, had lunch with his mother in the retreat, and then escorted her to the door of the retreat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a black business car parked at the door, and the driver was Yan Ziyang from Du Ke's agent team.

"Mom, I can only send you to the door, Ziyang will drive you to the airport." Duke said goodbye to his mother.

The old mother helped Du Ke straighten his collar, and the strong maternal love was radiated through this small detail, "Okay, there are many people at the airport, just send me over." ”

Du Keyi reluctantly said, "Why don't you stay a few more days and then go home?" ”

"I've been in the capital for more than a week, and I have to go back to work." My mother smiled, and then solemnly reminded Du Ke: "The overall situation is important, shooting is the icing on the cake, swimming and track and field are the fundamental, and I believe you understand this truth." Although I expect you to win an Olympic title in shooting more than anyone else, it is still the same sentence, the big picture is important. Don't intensify unnecessary contradictions, swimming, track and field plus cycling are enough for you to show off for a lifetime. ”

Duke nodded: "Okay, I won't come nonsense." ”

Mom: "Then I'm leaving." ”

Du Ke hugged his mother, then lifted his mother's suitcase into the business car, told Yan Ziyang to "drive carefully and pay attention to safety", and said to his mother "Have a safe journey", and then watched the business car start and drift away.

This is the case with professional athletes, who get together less with their relatives and leave more, Du Ke packed up his mood and made a phone call to Director Chen of the General Office of the Sports Federation.

If it weren't for the urgent matter, Du Ke would not have directly approached the Director General, he usually had more contact with Director Chen, Director Chen represented the Director, and he would report to the Director in a timely manner if there was any information.

On the phone, Du Ke briefly said his thoughts, and Director Chen immediately drove to the Sports Federation Cadre Rest House after hearing this, and the two met in the office.

"Before the Asian Games last year, you had a foot injury, and then you went to the archery range to relax and shot a few rounds of arrows in front of me. The situation was exceptional, so I recommended to the director that you go to the tryouts for the archery team, and as it turned out, I made a not stupid choice. Director Chen said calmly, and suddenly his tone changed: "But the Olympic Games are much more important than the Asian Games, and now that the teams of various events have entered the sprint stage of the Rio Olympics, at such an important point in time, it is better for you to be safe." ”

Officials speak like this, never easily affirming and denying, most of the time they speak ambiguous words.

Du Ke expressed his views without hurry, and the central idea is:

I have successfully completed the tasks of this year's World Swimming Championships and World Athletics Championships, and in the next few months, there will not be much business for these two basic events. After high-intensity competitions such as swimming and track and field world championships, athletes are physically and mentally tired, and the rest of the time should be focused on recovery. After I returned to Nangang, I spent two months practicing 50m rifle prone shooting, and at the end of October, I wanted to participate in the national shooting trials. It's okay, it's okay, forget it, and the right to restore the adjustment and condition mood.

After listening to Du Ke's statement word by word, Director Chen said: "Before the Rio Olympics, swimming and track and field really did not have any major tasks, and the winter training was to recover the body and mind, reserve physical fitness, and conduct special training after the beginning of spring, improve weak technical links, and find the feeling of competition through one or two official competitions." But what about the bike, Duke, aren't you going to Japan for a road bike race next January? It is said that the national cycling team has begun to urge you to return to the team. ”

"Therefore, I also implore Director Chen to help with the coordination work between several centers." Duke said sincerely.

Director Chen patted his forehead, looking haggard: "Do you know Du Ke, the field management center, the swimming center, and the self-sword center, my main work during this period of time is to coordinate and communicate with them, and now I want to add a shooting and archery center, I feel that this has touched the limit of my ability." Let me be blunt, the swimming center does not approve of your participation in other events other than swimming, and the Athletics Management Center and Zijian Center also have this idea, and many times I am pressuring them in the name of the director. ”

"Hey, the more projects you work on, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it down one day. You have to practice your rifle, I can't do this, so you have to stay in the capital for a few days anyway, and I'll report to the director and let you know the latest news. ”

……

Du Ke stayed in the capital for a few more days, and the swimming center and track and field center held celebration meetings respectively to commend the athletes who performed well in the World Swimming Championships and the World Track and Field Championships, and Du Ke was naturally the protagonist.

On September 5, Director Chen informed Du Ke: "You go back to Nangang first, what the director means is that during this time, you will focus on recovery, and you must report to the national cycling team before November 30." He also didn't tell Duke in an affirmative tone, "Can you practice your rifle and figure it out for yourself?"

Based on Duke's understanding of the leaders, they generally acquiesce when they say this, and at the same time they acquiesce and set a bottom line, and report to the cycling team before November 30, which is the bottom line. Since the director of the bureau has acquiesced, it is natural that the coordination between the various centers will be done.

Du Ke knew this, and left the capital that night and returned to Nangang.

The next day, Du Ke and his mother came to the training hall of the Nanyue Provincial Shooting Team, and they were received by the head coach Yu Tao.

Yu Tao is in his early forties, not tall and has thick eyebrows, he warmly welcomed the arrival of Du Ke's mother and son, and said to Du Ke's mother: "Senior sister, welcome, welcome." ”

Then Yu Tao said to Du Ke again: "Big star, I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you practice for a few years, your hands are itchy, aren't you?" ”

Du Ke and Yu Tao hugged: "Director Yu, I'm Hu Hansan back again, hahaha!" ”

"Hahaha!" Yu Tao laughed heartily, and seemed to be very familiar with Du Ke.

Du Ke, his mother, and Yu Tao are indeed very familiar with each other.

When Du Ke's mother was a shooting athlete, Yu Tao was her junior brother.

Du Ke's shooting instructor is his mother, but his mother has a work task from the Provincial Sports Bureau, and sometimes she doesn't have time to guide Du Ke to practice guns. Therefore, in the days when Du Ke practiced guns in the Nanyue Youth Shooting Team, he would be guided by the youth coach of the team part of the time, and the youth coach who guided Du Ke at that time was Yu Tao.

The athletic life of shooting athletes is relatively long, but there are also those who retire early, Du Ke's mother, Yu Tao due to family reasons or other special circumstances, they retired relatively early, and retired in their twenties and less than thirty years old.

After Du Ke's mother retired, he entered the Provincial Sports Bureau, and Yu Tao worked as a coach in the provincial shooting team.

The sport of shooting is quite special, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to play shooting because of the firearms involved. A sporting firearm with a rim fire or a center fire is a real gun that can kill people. Airsoft guns can also be dangerous if they hit a person's vital parts at short distances.

China has strict controls on firearms and is probably one of the strictest in the world. Swimming, running, cycling, ordinary people can play anytime and anywhere, and if they want to play with guns legally, they can only go to some special venues, such as shooting training halls.

Yu Tao thought that Du Ke's mother and son were here to play with guns, so he took them to the shooting range and took out a few gases. The pistol rested on the table and said, "Senior sister, Du Ke, the gun is here, you can practice." ”

Du Ke's mother pointed at Du Ke: "I don't practice, he does." ”

Duke pointed to another area: "Yu Gui, I want to go to the 50-meter shooting range, oh, by the way, I have to choose a small-caliber rifle and a full set of shooting suits." It's the Olympics specs, and you know what you know. ”

"Huh?" Yu Tao was a little surprised, "Du Ke, you don't play pistols anymore, switch to rifles?" Still Olympics specs, do you want to participate in the Olympics? ”

Doucle: "yes, 50m rifle prone shooting, I want to try it." (To be continued.) )
