Chapter 503: The First Champion
Kou Dewang didn't allow Kou Xi to mention Lin Liang again, and Kou Xi didn't mention it anymore. After all, they came here to watch the Niu Niu competition, and the doubts in their hearts finally confirmed that they had to rely on Kou Xi to go home and do it.
Niu Niu saw that the family was coming, and the whole person was excited, happy and nervous. Kou Xi knew that there was a lot of pressure, so he cheered him up: "It's not easy for you to participate in the national competition at your age, and we are already very proud." Just keep a normal heart and do your best to overcome yourself. It doesn't matter if you win the prize or not, it doesn't matter how many places you win. Let's have a big dinner after the game!"
Kou Xi knows that the athletes' diet is very well controlled during the training stage. Although there are not as many requirements as in later generations, it is already very demanding for ordinary people. Cattle and cattle have to supplement protein every day, and their favorite pork is rarely touched.
Before coming, Kou Dewang also asked Kou Xi to get some oil shuttles for Niu Niu in a funny way. Fortunately, before the game, Niu Niu made a meal of dumplings stuffed with oil shuttle and sauerkraut, and cheered him up. Kou Xi didn't dare to give his children food indiscriminately, and he just listened to this.
On the day of the game, Kou Xi and others came to the game site early.
"Alas, why are there so few people? It's sparse, and few people are watching!" Kou Dewang thought that there would be a crowd here, but he didn't expect that even a third of the people at the game site were full.
"How can ordinary people come to buy tickets, except that we are afraid that the people who come to the scene are all tickets given by various units!" Wang Yazhi looked funny: "In this daytime, the big guys still have to go to work." ”
"It's Saturday, it's a fart class!" Kou Dewang was very unhappy, thinking that no one paid attention to such an important game.
Although sports competitions are also important events, in the eighties and nineties, only women's volleyball, women's football, and table tennis could make people excited. Especially the women's volleyball team that year, it can really be said that the whole country is very concerned.
In the mid-90s, the efficiency of state-owned enterprises in various parts of the Northeast was not very good. In 1996, many units were already on holiday, and even those who went to work could not be paid. Especially in old heavy industrial cities such as Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin and Qiqihar, many factories do not have much work. I can't eat anymore, so how can I have the leisure to take care of any spiritual food?
Only when the economy is developing well and the people have money in their pockets can they really pay attention to other aspects. Whether it is a sports career or a cultural and entertainment business, it is possible to flourish. The so-called all-round development of national strength is the foundation of the national economy.
Nowadays, ordinary people in the Northeast generally have no money in their hands, and there is a lot of pressure on life and employment, so no one pays attention to this so-called competition.
There was no one, and Kou Xi and the others naturally sat in the front row. Quietly watching Niu Niu and other athletes compete, only children like Mi Le and others in the audience could shout 'come on' in two voices.
This is completely different from what Kou Xi saw on TV, where the audience was holding the national flag or something, shouting loudly and excitedly. Because there was no one around who was emotional, the atmosphere was really average. Knowing that Niu Niu appeared, the family waved at him happily and excitedly.
"Come on Niuniu, come on my eldest grandson!" The unknown crowd outside the stadium looked at Kou Dewang and almost hung on the fence, and Kou Xi also took a picture of Niuniu with a camera that he didn't know where to borrow.
In the end, Niu Niu won a gold medal in the 500-meter short track speed skating through layers of competition.
This achievement was not only Kou Xi and the others excited, but Coach Sun also happily rushed over and hugged Niu Niu to lift him up.
Niu Niu didn't expect that he would get such good results, and a little smile appeared on Gao Leng's little face. Kou Xi and the others couldn't help but rush to him anymore, and Kou Dewang waved at the reporter even more excitedly: "Come and interview my eldest grandson, my eldest grandson won the gold medal." He is so young, he is so promising, and he will definitely be able to participate in the Olympics in the future. ”
The interviews with this reporter are all arranged, and the coach is arranged for when to interview who and how to answer. Niu Niu won the first place beyond everyone's expectations, and Coach Sun did not teach him how to deal with the interview in advance.
As soon as Kou Dewang shouted like this, Coach Sun himself became nervous.
"Thank you, Coach Sun. Thank you so much, without you there would be no Niuniu today. Why don't I invite all the players to dinner with the coach tonight, how about we have a celebration banquet?" Kou Xi was proud, happy and excited. Don't forget to thank the coach at this time, and of course, help Niuniu to win over interpersonal relationships.
Like Kou Dewang, she can't wait to become Niuniu's agent immediately, and take care of all the trivial things in his life in an orderly manner. Coach Sun can also understand the feelings of Kou Xi and Kou Dewang, the father and daughter, and there will be hope when they see the dawn. It's just that the father and daughter imagined the future too well, Niu Niu accidentally won a national gold medal, and they immediately thought of the Olympics, Niu Niu won the championship.
As everyone knows, how much effort has to be put in during this period, it is not the honor of one person and one family. It involves a lot of things, including the cooperation of teammates, the development of the country, the guidance of coaches and the fulfillment of teammates.
But at this time, he couldn't talk about this to Kou Xi, so he smiled at Kou Xi: "The celebration banquet is a little too early, and there is a relay race later." In the 1,500-meter and 3,000-meter relay races, Niu Niu will also participate in this event. Now this 500-meter gold medal has given the child an encouragement, let's win another gold medal while the iron is hot. ”
Hearing Coach Sun say this, Kou Xi didn't have much to say. When he came out of the ring, Kordwang felt like he was drunk. Even if you sit in a taxi, you have to show off to other drivers, and even if you go to a small store to buy a pack of cigarettes, you have to talk for a long time.
Kou Xi and Wang Yazhi looked disgusted and embarrassed, so they simply didn't care about him anymore, as long as he didn't drink and didn't make trouble.
Originally, a few people planned to go home after watching Niuniu's individual competition, but they didn't expect that this time Niuniu achieved good results, and there was a relay race behind him. Kou Xi and the others stayed until the end, and only after watching all the games of Niu Niu did they buy tickets to go home.
"Gee, I don't think that's going to work. Niu Niu skated quite fast on his own, and his teammates dragged their feet. If the cooperation is not good, if we are all like Niu Niu, we can win a gold medal in 1,500 meters!" Kou Dewang immediately became an insider, shaking his head and commenting on the whole event.
"You can't say the same thing, the training is all the same. Teammates are all giving the same effort, maybe tactically or cooperatively. We can't be proud of ourselves like this just because our children won the championship and exclude others. Kou Xi shook his head, feeling that Kou Dewang had gone too far.
But Kou Xi didn't expect that the over-praise was still to come. Kou Dewang was bent on promoting Niu Niu as a young genius, so much so that it caused an unnecessary series of troubles later.....
