Chapter 193
This is the first time he has won a dance ball competition, and he is a national champion, and on the podium, he saw the cheers and shouts of the audience, the relieved smiling faces of the coaches, and the excited eyes of his teammates, and his heart was also full of joy and loss.
He really wanted to say to the man who was thousands of miles away that he had already helped him achieve half of his wish, and that this medal should have belonged to him.
Ye Linglan did not leave the capital after the national competition, he wanted to stay here to continue training, this time the coach was changed to a better than before, and he once brought out several world champions and a middle-aged man surnamed Li.
Ye Linglan, who is already very familiar with training, does not feel much different from before, he still does not delay his training and studies, and he has added a new training goal to himself, which is aimed at several opponents that may be encountered in this World Series, one of them is called Andre, who can do three front flips in succession, and land smoothly after somersaults in the air for three and a half weeks, and that person has also won several world championships, and other athletes want to surpass him unless they can make a breakthrough in either of the above two links.
Another named Chris is very accurate in his pitching, and even set a world record of 11.15 meters, and almost no one after him can exceed 11 meters.
It is estimated that these things are nothing to that dancing ball genius, and they can be easily achieved with a little effort, but for herself, Ye Linglan knows better than anyone how long it takes to practice even a quarter of a lap in the air, what kind of physical fitness you need, and how much effort it takes to keep the landing stable. There is also pitching, even if you can accurately shoot into the basket within 10 meters, and if you leave half a meter, you may not even touch the basket.
He only had a year to go, and he didn't know if he would be able to complete the plan.
Of course, this is not just a matter of words.
He devoted much longer hours to training, using almost all of the time except for necessary rest, and when the gym was closed, he would find an open place outside, put on a mat and continue to practice until his prescribed bedtime.
These things will inevitably attract the attention of others after doing them for a long time, and Coach Li also talked to him once, and didn't say anything else, just asked him why he worked so hard, whether there was someone in the family who liked dancing ball, and wanted him to take a world championship back to see.
He said, "No."
It's not what his parents ask for, he just wants to win the World Championship for a boy who should be his.
"Oh?" The coach was also interested, "What's going on?" ”
Ye Linglan smiled, he had never discussed the boy's matter with others before this, and even his parents didn't know about it, and now he didn't want to hide it anymore, and even thanked the coach for giving him such a chance to talk.
He said all the things between himself and the boy, including the shock when they met for the first time, including the pride and ambition when they met to compete together, including the surprise brought to him by that genius's "magic skill", including the indignation and unwillingness when he heard that he had withdrawn, including the determination to work hard with him to win the world championship with the jade pendant he gave him, all of everything, all the hard work and sweat, just to help that person win this medal.
The coach didn't seem to know what to say, so he just put his hand on his shoulder and shook it hard.
Later, when Ye Linglan was training, no matter how late it was, no matter where he was, the coach would appear by his side.
The coach is naturally much more professional than him, and has carefully studied the strengths and weaknesses of those world champions, and he told Ye Linglan that you must not make the mistakes made by those people, and the advantages of those people must also become your advantages at the same time, so that you can be invincible on the field.
And when you study them, they are also studying you, and they will also try to improve themselves, and maybe all the mistakes will be turned into advantages, so you have to work ten times harder than them, to make your advantage more obvious than theirs.
That year passed very long, even the longest year Ye Linglan has ever spent in his memory, he was always looking forward to coming to the World Series in the next second, and he could take a championship back to that person as soon as possible, but at the same time he hoped that that day would never come, in case he didn't achieve his goal, he would never have the face to see that person again.
Every night, when he was so tired that his whole body hurt, he would hold the jade pendant that he put next to his pillow when he was sleeping, so that he would feel a lot of relief, and in the end, the pain gradually disappeared, and it almost never appeared again.
In fact, time passed neither faster nor slowed down, everything that should have come came on time, and there were still six months, three months, a month before the World Championship, and then it was time for them to leave for this year's venue.
The coach had already told them that five of the athletes competing at this year's World Championships were favourites to win.
The first one is Andrei, who is also their biggest competitor this time.
The second is Chris, who has also won the championship twice.
The third is a young player who has won a world championship once, has a very strong flip ability, and is about the same age as Ye Linglan, and many people comment that his future is limitless.
The fourth and fifth, both of whom have never won a World Championship before, are extraordinarily strong and have always been champions, and no one knows if they will be able to overperform this time.
The coach also said that Ye Linglan's strength is between those people, it depends on whether anyone will break through in the final finals, in fact, it is not uncommon to turn the tide on the field, it depends on who can surpass themselves at critical moments.
There are three competitions, the first is for all the contestants to show on stage, the top 16 points enter the second round, and then eight people are selected for the finals. Ye Linglan's results in the two competitions were not particularly good, the first round was the eighth place, the second round was the fifth place, if this trend is followed, even if she can get a medal, it will not be the target side.
The next day was the day of the finals.
The five favorites mentioned by the coach before all entered the finals, and he was the only Chinese athlete, ranking fifth.
The first to play was Andre.
His performance was so consistent and impeccable that he was able to watch and score just right, and the audience applauded after his performance, as well as the other athletes.
Ye Linglan still hasn't told others, in fact, when he learned about dance, he also learned about some excellent athletes by the way, so he saw Andre's deeds and videos, and at that time he thought in his heart, if only he could dance half as well as him.
But I don't know why, the surprise he brings to himself is not as good as another person.
In Ye Linglan's eyes, Wen Xingying's dance ball performance is like an article of "Clever Hands", which is smooth, but the performance of this world champion always gives him a sense of carving.
Out of 100 points, Andrei got 98.5 points.
Two of the next three appearances were mentioned by the coach, and it was Chris who appeared before Ye Linglan, and his previous performance was also very exciting, and the pitching distance also reached 11.2 meters, breaking the world record again.
There was thunderous cheers on the field, and his score was 98.8.
The next person to play was Ye Linglan.
He made all the preparations and stood by the ring, and for a moment all he could think of was the boy's smiling face.
I don't know if he will see his performance at this time.
Ye Linglan has never realized this so truly, she can stand here at this time, and she can have the strength to compete for the championship with others, it is really just for that person.
He allowed himself to grow, let himself metamorphose, let himself do things that he had never thought of doing before, let himself continue to push beyond the limits of his body, and now, all the pain has come to an end.
People say, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, I am about to go to the battlefield for you now, do you see?
Ye Linglan went to the arena, and there was no mistake in his previous performance, but there was no innovation compared to the people in front of him, and it can be assumed that if he continues to perform according to this trend, he will not achieve too high a ranking.
Soon came the last action.
Many people will show their full strength in this finale, and Ye Linglan is exactly like this, what he has to do is that front flip three times plus three and a half somersaults in the air.
But even if he did this, he still couldn't make himself a champion.
Unless......
When he started, everything in front of him seemed to have disappeared, and the warm jade pendant was close to his skin, and the warmth seemed to flow all the way to the bottom of his heart.
He accelerated, and he saw the boy saying to him that he wanted to stand on the podium of the World Championships with him, but at the same time withdrew from the competition, wishing him a world championship.
He did one flip, two, three laps......
He is not a genius, so he must do his best to exercise his physical strength, and strive to do those movements that few people in history can do, in order to help that genius get the glory that should belong to him.
He's doing it, a week, two weeks, three weeks, and if it's over like this and he doesn't win the World Title, how is he going to face that guy......
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and bent down again......
This is a very dangerous maneuver, his head may fall straight to the ground, he may injure his cervical vertebrae, he may be paralyzed for life, he may ......
All the athletes, spectators, coaches, and judges held their breath......
Ye Linglan tossed around and landed smoothly, followed by a perfect close.
There was thunderous applause on the field!
Even the narrator's voice became excited, saying that he made history, that no dancer had ever made such a difficult move, and that he would go down in history forever!
The audience stood up and applauded him, and the sound seemed to break through the ceiling, it was the most wonderful dance ball movement they had ever seen!
However, at this time, Ye Linglan, who had not yet finished the game, stood in front of the basket with the ball.
He stood at a position of eleven meters.
It was the farthest distance he'd had so far, and he couldn't count how long it had taken or how many times he practiced to reach it, and he stood in that position and threw his hand up.
The ball formed a perfect arc and flew into the basket.
The rules of the dance ball competition are seven meters to throw, of course, all athletes are according to their usual best results, and then appropriately increase or decrease, now after Ye Linglan throws in, he retreats a little and gets the ball again.
This time the distance was 11.2 meters.
The audience held their breath again.
It is often said that a player's pitching posture tells whether he will score a goal, and the athlete's posture is flawless, but if someone has just set this world record, can he surpass it immediately?
Ye Linglan looked at the basket, her body froze for a moment, and then she threw the ball out with force.
The ball formed a slightly different trajectory than before, but it still landed accurately in the basket.
Now no one on the field is cheering, and they are all looking nervously at this teenager, who is only a teenager, not knowing what other miracles he can perform.
Ye Linglan once again walked backwards, this time at a distance of eleven .25 meters.
He raised his hand again.
To this day, he is still not sure if he will be able to win the World Title, and he knows that there is no way back, and that it is his responsibility to keep challenging if he wants to score more points.
Raise your hand, pitch the ball, and still get into the basket!
Ye Linglan shocked the audience!
No one would have thought that this young athlete who participated in the world competition for the first time would have such a strong strength and break two world records in a row, which is one of the few in the history of dance ball!
Ye Linglan continued to challenge 11.3 meters, but this time it ended in failure.
But no one regrets it, and the game was exciting enough for them to talk about for years.
Ye Linglan bowed on the court, and his game was completely at an end.
Ye Linglan's final score was ninety-nine points five, a rare high score in the dance ball competition, and he sat on the rest chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.
When all the competitions were over, the award ceremony officially began, and Ye Linglan finally won the championship with the highest score and stood on the highest podium.
The award presenter gave him medals and flowers, the familiar national anthem was played on the field, the national flag was rising, Ye Linglan looked at it, and his face was wet with some liquid.
The World Championships are over, Ye Linglan won the world championship as he wished, which made him finally breathe a sigh of relief, the coach said that they can walk around the city if they like, of course, they can also return to China immediately, it is all up to them.
Ye Linglan really wanted to go shopping, of course, she wanted to return to China, she wanted to meet her parents and Coach Wang, and she also wanted to meet that person.
In good conscience, although Lu is very happy to win this world championship, he is happy to be happy, and he still feels very unhappy when he thinks about something, that is, he has not received an answer until now, the real reason why a certain boy withdrew from the competition that year.
If it weren't for that bastard kid suddenly picking on his son, he would be tired and tired all day long, and the most hateful thing is that he doesn't know why he is tired like this.
So he stayed in the city for another week, gave some media interviews, visited several famous tourist attractions, and then returned home.
He did well in the high school entrance examination, went to a high school in the city, and that person was the same, but the two were still not in the same class, and after arriving in the capital, he sent a WeChat message to that person, saying that he would arrive in the afternoon.
There is still not much contact between the two people, Ye Linglan is too busy all day, even her parents can only make one phone call a day, and the call time is only ten minutes, not to mention that both of them have a thorn in their hearts towards each other, and they are not too embarrassed to contact each other before the end of some things.
In the afternoon, he returned to his hometown, and after coming to school, he finally saw the person he had missed for a long time, and after he expressed his congratulations, Ye Linglan took out the gold medal from his schoolbag and put it in his hand, "I promised you, I did it." ”
And everything else doesn't need to be told to him, just know it in your heart.
Wen Xingying looked at the weighty thing in his hand, and then looked at the boy in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Ye Linglan couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "If I ask you now why you gave up the competition in the first place, will you tell me?" ”
The boy looked away as if he was thinking about something, and when he looked at Ye Linglan again, his eyes showed a little firmness, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
……
That afternoon, Ye Linglan listened to the boy talk about everything that happened back then, and she really didn't know what it was like.
Mr. Wen said that just before the regional competition, in early March of that year, his parents, both of whom were police officers, died in the line of duty in the course of handling the case.
And the reason why he can't continue to compete is that there is a younger brother at home, if he goes to other places to participate in training and competitions, his younger brother will have no one to take care of, and he doesn't want other relatives to come over, and he doesn't want to send him to other people's homes, so he can only stay with him.
Wen Xingying told Ye Linglan that he didn't tell anyone about this at the beginning, and naturally he wouldn't tell him, he didn't want him to worry about himself, and he didn't want him to sympathize with him, so he would rather leave him with a cynical impression.
As for that game, no matter what kind of ability I have, I didn't feel sorry when I decided to give up.
Compared with his own family, compared to the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother, no matter how important the game is, I have to give up.
Just like loyalty and righteousness can't be both, I never regretted making that decision at all.
Ye Linglan did know that he had a younger brother for a long time, and he had nothing to say when he heard his statement at this time, his younger brother was only a junior high school student according to his age.
After thinking about it, he said, "Are you going to leave him until he is admitted to college?" Are you planning to go to university in this city in the future? ”
There are still two very good universities in their city, and the scores in the college entrance examination are not much worse than those of the top universities in the capital, but the problem is ......
"Which university are you going to go to?"
"M big," Wen Xingying said, "but I don't know if I can get in." ”
Ye Linglan can understand this very well, this dance ball genius is really a genius in dance ball, and he is very average in terms of learning, although he can be admitted to the first high school in the city, but if he wants to be admitted to M University, which is famous in the whole country, he really needs to redouble his efforts.
"Then do you need me to make up for you?" A certain boy also raised his eyebrows, and Mao recommended himself.
