Chapter 43: Archery Competition
Thinking of his father's odd jobs outside of his work, although Yang Cheng didn't say it, he was very uncomfortable in his heart, who didn't want his parents to be relaxed and happy every day. But even if he asks his father to give up now, his father will not listen to him, unless Yang Cheng can come up with a definite benefit.
Not yet, so he can't trust his father, so he doesn't need to open this mouth at all.
"Yo, Dad, I'm back early today, why don't I take a drink with you?" Yang Cheng sat down at the table and said with a smile.
Yang Yuanzhi glared at him and said, "You kid pull it down, just the amount of your cup?" ”
"Didn't I say I only had two sips?"
"......" Yang Yuanzhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, he drank with a wine glass, and said after a while: "Don't indulge in the game all day long, working hard to review your homework is the right way." ”
"I know it." Yang Cheng took a big bite of rice and dealt with it vaguely.
"By the way, there will be a youth friendly match in Yongchang Gymnasium tomorrow, and the training camp of the two city teams will clash with each other, are you interested? Anyway, I happen to be free. ”
"Do you have a ticket?"
"Well, a colleague of mine didn't know where to get the two tickets, and he wasn't interested in archery, so he gave them to me."
Yang Cheng secretly glanced at his father, and he guessed that these two tickets were definitely bought by his father, so that he would not give up archery easily.
Yang Yuanzhi is like this, many things will not be said directly, but expressed sideways through actions. After Zhilu told Yang Cheng that he was rejected by the city team training camp, he didn't say anything, nor did he cheer or comfort Yang Cheng, but just worked harder, so that Yang Cheng knew that he didn't give up.
And now he deliberately let Yang Cheng go to the game, just to put an end to Yang Cheng's possible escape mentality, to face archery, and love archery as before.
Yang Yuanzhi actually loves archery very much, but when he and Feng Shan got married, they were already too old, even if Yang Cheng's grandfather was willing to teach, there was no future. Besides, he doesn't have time to learn arrows, and he has to support his family, so where can he have that idle time.
However, he is very keen on archery competitions, if there is a classic event, he will not miss it, even if he is reluctant to go to the scene to watch, he has to watch TV, the live broadcast can not watch the replay, in short, it must be watched.
Even sometimes rushed to Yang Cheng's room to grab the computer, just to watch a small detail of a game repeatedly.
However, he will definitely not be interested in the games of the city team training camp, let alone the training camp, even if it is the game of the main team, he is too lazy to watch it, only watching international competitions. It's like many fans who like to watch the Champions League or the World Cup but don't like to watch the Super League and feel bored.
"Oh, since you have a ticket, you can't Lang fee." For his father's kindness, of course Yang Cheng would not refuse.
"Well, then I'll go to bed early, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up at half past nine in the morning."
"Am I that piggy?" Yang Cheng was helpless.
After eating, taking a bath, and lying in bed, Yang Cheng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, not only because of his father's expectations for him, but also because of tomorrow's game.
Frankly speaking, he was repulsed by this game in his heart, and if there was no accident in the city team training camp game, Wang Xiaoxiao should be there, but he didn't want to see this ex-girlfriend. It's just that, firstly, my father's heart can't bear to be disobedient, and secondly, why is he afraid of seeing a woman? It's hilarious.
"Watch the game tomorrow!"
Yang Cheng muttered to himself, then covered his head and fell asleep, thinking about nothing.
Early the next morning, the father and son came to the Yongchang Gymnasium early.
This gymnasium has been around for some years and is home to the city's baseball team, as well as archery competitions. There are not too many people in the gymnasium today, after all, it is just a friendly match in a training camp, and the attraction is not so great, so the tickets are also sold very cheaply, otherwise Yang Yuanshan may not be willing to do it.
The entire stadium is surrounded by a circular seating area, and a transparent plastic mesh in front of it covers the entire stadium to prevent accidents caused by athletes' arrows shooting at the spectator seats. After all, the current competition is not as good as before, and the angles of the athletes can be said to be varied, and there are quite a lot of shooting cases.
Yang Cheng and Yang Yuanzhi found a place to sit on the far left of the stadium, and their side was empty, and there was no one.
Because generally speaking, the target is shot from right to left, so you can't see the number of rings when you sit here, and now there are empty seats everywhere, and naturally no one wants to sit here if you have a choice. However, for viewers who focus on the process rather than the result, this is the best perspective.
The best thing about archery is not the number of rings on the target, but the direction of the arrow.
"It seems that the players of the game have not yet arrived." Yang Yuanzhi said.
Yang Cheng held a piece of sorbet in his hand and hummed casually.
Today's game is the clash of two city teams in the training camp, these two teams are Jingzhou Fenghuo and Wuhan Rising Sun, this is Wuhan City, naturally the home of Rising Sun. However, although it is two city teams, they are actually in the same province, which is a rare occurrence in the league.
(Although I used the name of the city in reality, it is better not to substitute it for reality, after all, what is written is not realistic, and it is better to have a name.) It is true that there can be up to two municipal teams in the same province, except for municipalities. However, firstly, it is too difficult to set up a city team, which is not a problem that can be solved with money, and secondly, the league also limits the number of teams, and even some provinces may not be able to have an archery team.
Wuhan is the provincial capital, and its influence is naturally higher than that of Jingzhou Fenghuo, and its strength is also much stronger. Although the training camp is not a regular team, the training camp of the strong team is definitely not weak, and it must be superior to Fenghuo.
It's just that the results of archery competitions are not necessarily judged by surface strength, otherwise it's better than a fart. There are many factors that determine victory or defeat, such as the athlete's condition, etc., and even some luck is involved.
If you're unlucky, one mistake can sometimes affect the mentality of the whole team, just like a contagion, and eventually lead to a heavy defeat, which is not uncommon for a strong team to happen. And if the weak team plays out of state, it is common for them to be unable to suppress it if they want to.
"Hey, there are still insiders, Zhilu Dao occupies a good position."
Just as Yang Cheng finished eating the last bite of the ice cream, two people suddenly came next to him and sat directly next to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng turned his head to take a look, and saw that it was two young girls, both of whom were quite beautiful, and one of the long-haired beauties was looking at him with wide eyes.
"Which side is supported?" The girl asked.
This is a common problem in the audience of some smaller matches, because unlike official matches, there are usually regional divisions between home and away games, so supporters of different teams generally do not choose to sit together.
Yang Cheng said: "Of course it's the rising sun. ”
"Great, so do we, who do you think will win today?"
"How do I know the way?"
"Guess what, since you came to watch the game, it means that you should have some understanding of these two training camp teams."
Yang Cheng felt that this girl was a bit talkative, not as reserved as ordinary girls, but this was not a bad thing, and he also wanted to find someone to talk to.
"I think that, under normal circumstances, the training camp of the Rising Sun must be stronger than the front fire. It's just that the main purpose of the friendly match is to examine the performance of the players on the field, or to hone their actual combat experience, and if it is the latter, you should choose a stronger opponent, so I think it is very likely that it will only be an assessment game. ”
"And if it is an assessment, it will not be all core members, the overall strength will decline, and the cooperation may not be tacit, and it will certainly not be easy to win the game."
"And Fenghuo is different, as a team in the same province but has been pressed by the other party, no one will be convinced, as long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely go all out, and it is really hard to say whether they will win or lose."
The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she praised: "Okay, you really said it, we are just to evaluate the freshmen selected this year." Of course, there will also be old people with them. ”
"We?" Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, looking very surprised.
"Hehe, the two of us are also from the Rising Sun Training Camp, but we are both old people among the elderly." The girl said triumphantly.
The other short-haired girl beside her nodded towards Yang Cheng as a greeting. However, the girl was not as familiar as her companion, and just sat there in silence, not participating.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but take a closer look at the two girls, these two looked younger than him, especially the short-haired girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The eldest daughter is probably just an adult, but in fact, she is also considered to be older, and it is not easy to practice for two years at this age, and if she can't enter the reserve team of the main team before the age of twenty, her future is basically hopeless.
Archery is a very patient project, the early training will be very boring, this is the basic exercise, and the first maturity period of this stage is generally two to three years, which is also the introduction to archery. This time is quite long, and many people choose to give up because they can't stand this suffering. Of course, some extremely talented demons can still shorten this time, and they can't be generalized.
However, under normal circumstances, whether an athlete has potential or not cannot be seen in the early stage, and it is impossible to make an accurate judgment. And after three years, if you still can't meet the standard, it's basically futile to continue practicing, and it can only be said that this path is not suitable for walking at all.
Those who enter the training camp must have a certain level of basic skills, and the requirements for them will no longer be so simple, but rise to another level, that is, the spirit, and the spirituality of archery.
Spirit is the psychological quality of athletes, in the sports world in any project psychological quality is the top priority, a person's skills are awesome, but the psychological quality is poor, those awesome skills are absolutely impossible to play much.
