Chapter 63: De-escalation
The cafeteria is always a good place for colleagues to communicate with each other, and whenever Huang Xiang's big mouth is there, the canteen becomes a collection place for all kinds of gossip and gossip. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You've heard, we're going to force some athletes to retire again." Huang Xiang said.
"It's going to be laid off again, how much will be laid off this time? Because of what? Someone asked right away.
"The number of people is not clear, maybe there are places for each sports team, and I heard that it is because a new Olympic cycle is about to begin, so we need to start training young athletes to prepare for this Olympic cycle." Huang Xiang said.
Although the discussion between Huang Xiang and the others was not loud, all the people around him heard it, including Jiang Aiguo and Li Dai.
Jiang Aiguo's face suddenly changed greatly, disappointed, anxious, unwilling and helpless were mixed together, making him reveal an incomparably complicated expression at this moment.
Li Dai looked at Jiang Aiguo with some sympathy, and he opened his mouth to comfort: "Brother Jiang, maybe it's just fake news, don't take it to heart." ”
"Xiao Li, don't comfort me, I know that if you really want to lay off people, it will definitely be me who leaves. I'm 32 years old, and I'm still here, and some people have long looked at me and wanted me to leave. Okay, it's better to retire early, I'm a failed athlete anyway. Jiang Aiguo paused, as if he was reminiscing:
"I won the national championship when I was younger, I must have been ten years, when I was in my early twenties, I won the whole weightlifting championship, I remember when I grabbed 155 kilograms, I was second, and then in the clean and jerk, I lifted 190 kilograms at once, and I overtook my opponent by one kilogram and won the championship. Do you know who I was up against? ”
Li Dai shook his head, and Jiang Aiguo immediately revealed the answer: "My opponent at that time was Shi Gang!" ”
"You mean the Olympic champion Shi Gang?" Li Dai asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's him, in that national weightlifting championship, I was the champion, and Shi Gang was the runner-up. So it was supposed to be me representing the national team at that Olympics, but I was injured before the game, so Shi Gang took my place. You should know what happened later, he participated in that Olympics and won the gold medal without any suspense. Jiang Aiguo said slowly.
Li Dai still has an impression of that Olympic Games, because Li Dai was still on summer vacation at that time, and he watched almost all the broadcasts of the Olympic Games on CCTV when he was idle, and he remembered that the weightlifting 69 kg level competition at that time, Shi Gang won very easily, and it could almost be said that he beat foreign players.
"The men's weightlifting 69kg class is our country's traditional advantage, and if Jiang Aiguo had not been injured at that time and participated in the Olympics, I believe he would have won that gold medal. If Jiang Aiguo had an Olympic gold medal, he wouldn't have to work so hard for his daughter's surgery now. ”
Li Dai sighed slightly, he is not a god and cannot turn back time, but he has a coaching system, which is also the only means that Li Dai can help Jiang Aiguo.
Li Dai hesitated for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked, "Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about changing your level?" The competition of 69 kg is too fierce, not to mention the whole country, in our team, Peng Liang and Cao Dongshan are also 69 kg, they are only in their early twenties, and they have great potential. ”
"Of course I thought about it, but in the 77kg class, the competition is just as fierce. I'm in my thirties, and even if I get to 77 kg, I can't compete with those young people, and at my age, if I retrain my muscles, I can't train the strength of young people. Jiang Aiguo said.
Li Dai shook his head: "I'm not talking about 77 kilograms, I'm talking about 62 kilograms." ”
"62kg? You're going to get me down from 69 kg to 62 kg? Are you kidding? Jiang Aiguo's face was full of incredulity.
At this time, Jiang Aiguo seemed a little angry, he felt that he was about to be cut by the weightlifting team, but Li Dai was still joking here, which was really a little unrighteous.
"I'm not kidding you, I'm telling the truth." Li Dai also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then said: "You see, the focus of our team has always been on the two levels of 69 kg and 77 kg, there are no 62 kg players, if you become a 62 kg class, it means that no one will compete with you, so wouldn't your chances of staying be much greater?" And once you have the opportunity to compete, you, as the only 62kg athlete in our team, will definitely be able to get the opportunity to participate, and when you get a little bit of results, you will definitely be able to stay. ”
"Nonsense, how can I not know what you said, but the difference between these two levels is a full 7 kilograms, and you let me lose 7 kilograms, isn't it a fantasy! Besides, even if I could really lose 7 kilograms, I would lose a lot of muscle at the same time, and at that time I might not even be as strong as an athlete in the 56 kilogram class, let alone participate in competitions. Jiang Aiguo said.
"Isn't that me! When it comes to weight loss, I'm an expert. I have a way of keeping as much muscle as you can. Li Dai patted his chest.
Jiang Aiguo looked at Li Dai with suspicion, obviously not believing Li Dai's statement, if it wasn't for the fact that the relationship between the two was not bad, Jiang Aiguo was afraid that he would damage Li Dai fiercely.
Li Dai also knew that Jiang Aiguo would not believe his words, so he waved his hand, motioned for Jiang Aiguo to come over, and then continued: "A few days ago, there were rumors on the Internet that Yu Feifei was slack in training and had gained 70 kilograms, and was going to be expelled from the national team, have you heard of this?" ”
"Of course I heard about it, it was quite lively at the time, but it turned out to be fake news, and the swimming team also held a special press conference to let Yu Feifei weigh her on the spot, she was not fat to 70 kilograms at all." Jiang Aiguo said as he found that Li Dai had an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Why, seeing you laughing so badly, do you know what's going on?" Jiang Aiguo asked.
"What a laughing madman!" Li Dai put away his smile, lowered his voice, and continued: "Actually, it's true that Yu Feifei has gained 70 kilograms, but she has lost weight again. ”
"Then she hasn't lost more than a dozen pounds, and she must have suffered a lot. Wait a minute, you shouldn't have come to our team at that time, how do you know that Yu Feifei is 70 kilograms? Jiang Aiguo asked rhetorically.
"I was the one who helped her lose weight!" Li Dai said, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a photo, and showed it to Jiang Aiguo, which was a group photo of Li Dai and Yu Feifei.
"This is a photo of you and Yu Feifei? PS, right? Jiang Aiguo then said.
“PS? I'll show you a few more, you look at this, look at this one, and here are the photos I took when Yu Feifei was training alone. Li Dai swiped his finger across the screen of his mobile phone and showed Jiang Aiguo all the photos he took when he was training in Feifei.
"You're really involved in Fei Fei's training, that's the world record holder!" Jiang Aiguo's eyes when he looked at Li Dai instantly became different.
Li Dai continued to lower his voice, and said mysteriously: "I have a set of ancestral weight loss exercises, and it works at one time, is it because of this set of weight loss that Yu Feifei lost weight." If you don't believe me, we'll go to the field to test it out after dinner. ”
"Okay, let's go and try it, I'll digest it after eating." Although Jiang Aiguo didn't believe it, he still agreed to come down because of his good relationship with Li Dai.
