Chapter 9: The Eve of the Competition
Zhang Jun is doing his homework, and a difficult problem stumps him, and he decides to go to Sophie for help. Saying that helping is just a nice thing to hear, but in fact, he is just asking Sophie to help him.
"Auntie, is Sophie there?"
"In her house, I went in after eating, and I didn't know what I was doing. There you go. ”
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Jang Jun knocked on Sophie's door.
"Please come in!"
Zhang Jun pushed the door in, but was startled. "What are you doing here?"
Sophie was busy lying on the floor, with two sheets of white paper large and scattered with markers and rulers.
"I'm going to zoom in on the coach's game chart and put it on the wall of the team's room tomorrow, how comfortable it looks like that! Then every time the team went forward, I used a red pen to link the two games. Sophie replied without looking up.
"So confident in us?"
"Of course! The managers of the team are not confident, what can they expect from the team? ”
Zhang Jun looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was almost eleven o'clock.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Sophie looked up.
"Oh, nothing. I'm tired of studying, so I'm here to take a look. Zhang Jun said, looking around the room.
"Are you really okay?" Su Fei stared at Zhang Jun and asked.
"Really!" Zhang Jun was stared at by Sophie, "You're busy, I'll go back." After saying that, he returned to his home as if fleeing for his life.
He sat back down at his desk and picked up his pen: "Damn math teacher! Assign such a perverted question! I can't flip a book! ”
The next day, as soon as Zhang Jun entered the activity room, he saw a huge matchup table posted on the wall, and his teammates were all watching in front of him, and they were talking a few words from time to time. As soon as An Ke saw Zhang Jun, he beckoned to him: "Look at it!" How much time does it take to draw such a large matchup, draw straight lines, and write so neatly? ”
Zhang Jun remembered that when he finished the last question yesterday, it was already twelve o'clock, and the light in Sophie's room was still on.
He replied casually: "Four and a half hours!" ”
"Who will do it?" Anke stared at the table and muttered to herself.
"That's it! Look no further, everyone! If you look at it, we won't win the championship either! Suri's loud voice rang out in the doorway. Hurry up and change your clothes and gather on the pitch! Don't keep us waiting! ”
Ren Yudi said while changing clothes: "Why are third-graders so motivated? ”
"There's going to be a competition soon, just wait for this time a year, of course they have the motivation!" Anke said.
"And, it's their last." Yang Pan said.
Zhang Jun remembered what the captain said to him after the training that day. He turned his head and saw the match table on the wall, and the words "Shuguang Middle School" were specially written in red pen, which was particularly eye-catching.
As soon as I went out, I saw Sophie looking at the players on the field with a smile on her face. When Zhang Jun passed by Sophie, he squatted down and untied the laces of his sneakers.
"Does your knee hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt!" Sophie said with a smile.
"It's strange if it doesn't hurt!" Zhang Jun said in his heart.
Friday.
High School Soccer Magazine.
"We have called everyone together for a meeting today to prepare for the national qualifiers that will open tomorrow. It's all a common practice for us. Everyone has done their job and reported this competition well, well, and completely! When the time comes, when the qualifiers are over, I will invite everyone to dinner! Liu Yang said.
Cheers rang out from below.
"Xiao Chen, you are so interested in the competition of Shuguang Middle School, you can go and report it."
Chen Huafeng nodded.
"Zhou Peng, you can go to tomorrow's opening game, but you can dig up some more valuable news!"
"No problem!" Zhou Peng agreed.
"Hah! How can there be no news digging in the competition of the High School Affiliated to Zhongyuan University of Science and Technology! There are eleven of them on the field, and everyone deserves to be written! Sun Liangliang laughed. I heard that there are a few amazing first-year students this year, and as soon as they joined the team, they became the main force. In the football team of the High School Affiliated to Zhongyuan University of Science and Technology, which has more than 70 players, this is news in itself! ”
"Do you mean Li Yongle, Zhang Yang, and Zhang Lintao?" Chen Huafeng asked.
"That's right! Prior to this, in the history of the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology, there was only one person who could become the main player as soon as he entered the school, Zhao Defeng. Last year, he led the team to the final of the national competition as a first-year student, and although he lost to Guangming Middle School in Dalian, his strength has been recognized by the whole country. This year, he is a sophomore in high school, and I wonder if the High School Affiliated to HKUST will be able to win the championship of the national competition under the leadership of him, the new captain. It's really exciting! Sun Liangliang leaned back in his chair and said.
"It can be seen that you are a fan of the High School Affiliated to HKUST." Chen Huafeng said.
"Hey, hey!" Sun Liangliang grinned.
When Chen Huafeng walked out of the building, it was already the beginning of the lights. The neon lights flickered, rendering this weekend night extraordinarily beautiful. Tomorrow, tomorrow is finally coming, and tomorrow, which makes him full of hope and excitement, what performance will he learn to give him in the dawn?
Zhang Jun tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. The night before the finals of the National Junior High School Competition, he never lost sleep, what happened today? Annoyed, he got up and went to the balcony to blow the wind, only to find that Sophie was also on her balcony.
Sophie asked him, "Why don't you sleep?" ”
Zhang Jun shook his head: "I can't sleep." What about you? ”
Sophie smiled, "Just like you." ”
Then the two didn't speak, just stared blankly into the distance.
After a while, Zhang Jun looked up at the starry sky: "It's rare to see such a beautiful night sky in the city. ”
Sophie also looked at the starry sky and said, "Tomorrow will be a good day!" ”
Zhang Jun turned his face to look at Sophie.
"It's not going to rain." Sophie continued.
"How?"
"So, play well tomorrow!" Sophie turned her face and smiled at Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun has forgotten when he fell asleep last night, this night, he slept so soundly that he didn't even have a dream. When I woke up, it was time for lunch.
"Good morning." He greeted Sophie on the balcony.
"Good afternoon." Sophie replied with a smile.
"What time is it?"
"Eleven twenty."
"It's so late?! I must have fallen asleep at three o'clock last night. Zhang Jun said with a frown.
"Have you rested? There will be a game in the afternoon. ”
"No problem~~he~~~~ owe ~~~~~" Zhang Jun yawned a lot, and tears came out.
"Worrying promises."
"Humph! If I go to the toilet all the time, you should be worried! Zhang Jun pointed to Sophie opposite.
"That's good! I ask you, can you win? ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jun's eyes were blazing.
