"I think it's okay, it's not very difficult, the main thing is that the basic skills must be solid and you have to practice every day. I don't feel much about the competition, but my coach really wants us to go to the competition, and it would be nice to win a few prizes. ”

Ye Linglan nodded, "Okay, then please go with me to participate, of course, provided that I have the qualifications for the competition first." ”

That night, Ye Linglan told her parents what she thought, and the two parents naturally did not object, and then Ye Linglan went to Wen Xingying's physical education class to register, and was the same coach as the boy.

Since then, he has spent all his weekend afternoons training, and from day one, he felt that the sport was not easy.

The coach surnamed Wang taught them from the beginning that they must start from the basic skills, and after they have solid basic skills, they will learn all kinds of movements to get twice the result with half the effort, and the content of this basic skill is running, leg press, sit-ups, etc., the requirements for running are at least two thousand meters, the leg press takes half an hour, and the sit-ups are fifty.

Of course, this is just the most basic training content.

Ye Linglan admits that although he usually pays attention to exercise, the content and time are very casual, sometimes he may practice for dozens of minutes a day, and now he starts to be out of breath after running a thousand meters, and his pace has slowed down significantly.

"How's it going, isn't it hard?" The boy surnamed Gu kept following him, "Do you want to take a break?" ”

"I won't rest until I can't run anymore!" Ye Linglan gritted her teeth and glanced at him by the way, this kid was not blushing or panting, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

However, he had also practiced for a longer time than himself......

Ye Linglan still tried his best to complete the training content of the day, although he lay in bed for a long time after returning home, both his abdomen and legs hurt as if he didn't belong to him, and this was really just the beginning.

After that, he trained a little more every day than on the first day, Coach Wang would give them a period of adaptation, and then increase the training intensity little by little, and at the same time would personally make recipes for them, plan their diets, and call their parents, those drinks, fried foods and the like must not be eaten again.

The mother was very happy to have such a person to restrain her children for her, and happily prepared food for Ye Linglan according to the coach's recipe, and lunch would be prepared in advance and brought to him in a thermos box, so that after half a year, the coach began to teach him the basic movements.

With such a long preparation as before, these moves are not difficult to learn, but the coach will still tell them that there will be a score point after each action is made, and the standard will be added, but the slightest point will be deducted, so they still have to practice repeatedly if they want to achieve this standard.

The next ones that are a little more difficult, such as somersaults and the like, require the accumulation of several basic movements, that is, each basic movement must be practiced to a standard in order to challenge this, which must take a lot of time.

And in the process of practicing this movement, Ye Linglan finally noticed a reality, that is, that Wen Xingying was really a genius in dancing.

Genius, simply put, it is a movement that others need to practice for a long time to learn to him, he may pass the test once, Wen Xingying is exactly like this, according to the coach, his body is born with a softness, that is, he can make a very standard one-word horse without pressing his legs, and the same is true for flips, others need to practice forward rolls and handstands first, and when it is his turn, he can easily turn one as long as he tells him the essentials of the movement.

The same is true for the last pitch of the dance ball, speaking of which this sport is very similar to a combination of gymnastics and basketball, the "dancing" in front itself tests various gymnastics skills, and the shooting in the back tests the athletes' aiming, the coach will tell the students how to improve the hit rate, of course, this also needs to be practiced repeatedly, and for Wen Xingying, he should be a very rare person who can accurately throw the ball into the basket on the first day of practice, and then rarely miss even if the distance is extended.

Ye Linglan has nothing else to say about this, others are geniuses, but they are not, so they can only practice more.

The dance ball competition is divided into several levels, cities, provinces, regions, countries, and finally the World Championships, which are held once a year, and the previous level of competition can only be qualified to enter the next level after obtaining a certain ranking, and the first municipal competition is in March every year.

Ye Linglan naturally did not participate in this year, and for the next year, he practiced patiently every day, striving to make himself more exciting.

Wen Xingying stayed with him every time he practiced, and occasionally pointed him out and taught him some skills, Ye Linglan was very happy to have such a master who could always accompany him, and felt that as long as he saw himself, there would be an inexhaustible source of motivation in his body, and his training would be much easier.

One afternoon, during a break, Ye Linglan suddenly thought of something: "I said, if the two of us compete together, will it be you who will be the champion, and I will be the runner-up at most?" ”

The boy's eyes flickered, "Well, I don't think so, maybe you'll play better than me every time, and I may not even get the third place." ”

Lu naturally didn't believe it, this person's foundation was better than his own, coupled with such a unique physical condition, the other contestants in the arena were definitely making green leaves.

But...... It doesn't seem to matter, it's not bad to get a runner-up, it's a big deal to participate again in the next session, and ask God to worship the Buddha and pray that he will not follow.

A year passed quickly, and the coach organized several knockout rounds before the municipal competition, and the eliminated people were of course not eligible to participate in the competition, Ye Linglan successfully passed, and he and Wen Xingying finally appeared on the field of the municipal competition.

It was the second half of the second semester of junior high school.

For Ye Linglan, the feeling of officially participating in the competition is not much different from the usual practice, it is nothing more than showing all what he has learned, and he does his best to make every movement standard. After the game, Wen Xingying, who had been waiting in the audience, immediately came over and gave him a hug.

And the result of this game is similar to what Ye Linglan thought at the beginning, his results are not particularly good, but he is also qualified to participate in the provincial competition, as for Wen Xingying, he undoubtedly won the championship medal.

Ye Linglan sincerely congratulated him, and he was never happier than the boy who made him "stunted" with a random dance ball performance back then.

The following year, they participated in provincial and regional competitions, Wen Xingying was the champion every time, Ye Linglan was also able to advance but missed the medal every time, he couldn't help but said to that person with emotion: "Wow, even if I can participate in the World Series, I will be a soy sauce player......"

I thought that it was nothing, that I could participate in the World Championships was a very good result in itself, and it was not particularly important whether I had a medal or not.

Even, he can stand very close to him, watch the national flag rise for him, and listen to the majestic national anthem playing for him.

"You," Wen Xingying patted him on the shoulder, "I still hope to stand on the podium of the World Championships with you." ”

"......" a boy was ashamed of his extremely "uncompetitive" ideas.

Wen Xingying stretched out a hand to him, "Then let's make an agreement to stand on the podium of the World Championships together in the future, okay?" ”

"Okay." The boy with an inexhaustible source of motivation in his heart solemnly held his hand.

For the next year, they will at least leave the city, if not if they don't have to travel abroad.

The coach informed them as early as after the regional competition that all the players who could qualify for the national competition would be gathered in the capital city of province C to participate in the training, and there would be a special national coach to teach them, and they would stay there that year to prepare for the national competition.

Hearing the news, Lu's father and Lu's mother actively prepared luggage for Ye Linglan, telling him that he must be more careful and train hard in the field this year, and he was happy all the time, in fact, at this time, Ye Linglan really felt very sorry for them, and he couldn't participate in the competition all the time without the support of his parents, and they, like all parents in the world, hoped that their children could get the best results no matter what competition they participated in, but they ......

It's really time to work hard and get a medal in the national competition to reward them.

Someone who was thinking like this looked up what was interesting in City A on the Internet, and he wanted to experience it with Wen Xingying.

However, Ye Linglan never expected that half a month before they were about to set off, Wen Xingying suddenly told him that he was going to withdraw from the competition.

He was startled and asked why, but the man just said, "It's nothing, I just don't want to compete anymore." ”

“…… You ......"

Ye Linglan didn't know what to say, but Wen Xingying patted him on the shoulder, "Linglan, come on, I wish you a world championship." ”

After speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and put it on for him, "This is a gift from me." ”

Then, the man turned around and left, leaving Ye Linglan with a tall but slightly lonely back.

From the time they agreed to stand on the podium of the World Championships together to Wen Xingying's unilateral announcement of his retirement, it was actually only half a month.

Who would have thought that just after 360 hours, his world would also take a 360-degree turn, and everything would change.

Ye Linglan was happy to admit that he was really angry after hearing that person's statement at the beginning, and he even said it so lightly, as if participating or not participating was just a game in his eyes, and he didn't even bother to give a word.

Is it that the brains of geniuses are so different from ordinary people, because they are already extraordinarily talented, so they regard fame and fortune as dung, is it that even friendship, integrity, and even the love of sports are also not worth mentioning in his heart?

…… Well, it's a bit far, if this matter is analyzed according to normal logic, it should be that something happened to that person suddenly, so that he had to withdraw from the game, as for why he didn't tell himself...... It should be, I'm afraid that I will worry about him...... bar.

This was the only "reasonable" explanation he could think of, although he didn't make himself happy at all, and then Ye Linglan went to ask Coach Wang again, and the coach said that Wen Xingying gave him a similar statement to Ye Linglan, but he suddenly didn't want to participate.

"Alas, it's a pity," the coach couldn't help but regret, "that kid is so talented, even if he can't win the world championship, at least he can win a medal." ”

During the period before departure, Ye Linglan basically hadn't seen Wen Xingying.

The two of them were not in the same class, and it was not easy to meet if they didn't deliberately look for them, and that person could no longer be seen on the school's dance court.

And Ye Linglan didn't really want to go to him.

He knew that Wen Xingying would definitely not want to see him, and he didn't know what to say after meeting, so it was okay not to see him, the appearance of that boy had already been clearly imprinted in his mind, and he could remember it at any time.

Ye Linglan just wore the jade pendant he gave him every day, and half a month later, he got on the plane with the team members who were also going to participate in the training, and left the city that had grown for more than ten years.

Coach Zhang's training program is more systematic and targeted than Coach Wang, he designed different programs for each person according to their specific situation, and monitored their practice process throughout the process, and immediately raised any problems when they were found.

At the same time, there will be a few teachers who are responsible for teaching several junior high school students of the same age as Ye Linglan, or they will take the high school entrance examination in a few months.

Every day went on normally, Ye Linglan would often call her parents and Coach Wang to tell them about her life and training, and later returned to her hometown on time to take the high school entrance examination.

There were two other people who came back to take the exam like him, Coach Wang was very happy, and organized all his students to have a meal together, what Ye Linglan didn't expect was that Wen Xingying also came to the hotel as a guest.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and the boy really hasn't changed much, his already handsome and handsome face is still handsome and extraordinary, and after the two of them met, Wen Xingying gave him a hug generously, "Linglan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

"Pretty good, how about you?"

Seeing this boy at this time, Ye Linglan still couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, and he had an impulse in his heart to ask him why he made that decision in the first place, and felt that there was no need for that, he would naturally tell himself what he wanted to say, otherwise there was no need to force it.

As long as he seems to be doing well now, he can rest assured.

"I'm fine, too, but sometimes I miss you a little."

As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder, as he had done so many times before.

Ye Linglan didn't have anything to say, she just told herself that she must work hard, she must win the ranking in the next two competitions, or she must win the championship, because she has already had more than one mission.

He didn't stay long in his hometown, and after the exam, he stayed at home with his parents for five days before rushing back to City A to continue his training.

After the start of high school, Ye Linglan's life has become a mode of training-based but continuing to study in high school courses, and there are many people like him, after all, Ye Linglan plans to continue his high school studies and take the university entrance examination after participating in the World Championships, and he was just a sophomore in high school at that time.

Many people can't help but complain at this time, because high school is also a heavy academic load, their training takes up a lot of time, and there is very little that can be used for learning, and they don't know if they can keep up with the progress if they continue like this.

Ye Linglan does not have the same worries in this regard, only his parents and several teachers know that he is also a "genius" in learning, especially his memory is very good, as long as he reads those books carefully, he can remember most of the content, plus he listens carefully in class to consolidate, he can ensure that he will never fall behind.

In fact, this learning genius has been proud for many years, and he has always boasted of being the "pride of the sky", and only when he met the dance ball genius did he finally realize that a mountain is still a mountain high, and a genius in one field is useless in another field, and he can only look up to the genius here.

The dance ball genius must not have known that he would learn this sport because he was interested in seeing his performance, so he wanted to experience it and experience it with him.

He must not know that he wants to participate in the competition just to test his learning results, which level he can participate in, and there is no need to force it at all, so he has always just trained according to the coach's regulations, and has never been strict with himself.

Even if I have an agreement with him to stand on the podium of the World Championships, I only start working hard when I want to officially train, anyway, there is no hurry, there are still two years to go.

However, after he withdrew from the competition, he had a strong desire not only to participate in the competition, not only to advance, but also to achieve the best results, and to win the medal that symbolizes the championship.

All this is just because he wanted him to compete with him at the beginning, there was a desire to let him show his ability, and he wanted more people to see his demeanor on the field, he was the only champion of all the competitions in his mind, and since he couldn't get the last two by himself, he would help him by himself.

From the day he made his decision, he set a rule, the coach asked them to run 5,000 meters a day, and he increased it to 6,000 meters; If they are asked to do 200 push-ups and sit-ups, they will increase to 250, 300, all in the hope that they will be more capable of realizing their dreams.

In March, the first semester of high school, the national competition began, Ye Linglan followed the coach to the capital, and he did his best in all the subsequent competitions, and finally succeeded in winning the championship medal.

His score is much higher than the others, and it can even be said that he is a crushing-level existence, everyone expressed surprise, but he himself felt that there was nothing, it was just the result of his own efforts for so long.
