In the next three months, Tang Huai took his national team to start a snow-chasing journey.

Indoor ski resorts in Harbin, Chengdu and other places run around, find the most suitable track, and do all kinds of adaptive training.

During this time, High Entropy successfully obtained the qualification to stay in the team.

Although the physical performance of the physical competition is extremely crotch-pulling, his back injury was reported in advance, and he stayed in the team not to occupy the quota of the snowboard slalom event, but to serve the entire snowboard sub-category as a waxer, so even if someone wants to question it, they can't find fault with it at all.

However, he also has to pay a certain price, that is, after entering the season, he will continue to follow the parallel giant slalom, slopestyle, halfpipe and other sports teams to compete, personally study the local snow conditions, and provide technical support for the athletes.

This work cannot be done by others, and it cannot be done without being on site, so high entropy has to sacrifice the time of rehabilitation training.

In fact, after more than half a year of recuperation, he is already able to go on the track, and is gradually increasing his speed and regaining the feeling of racing in order to overcome the psychological barrier after recovering from the injury.

He wanted to sign up for the 2020-2021 World Cup sub-tournament, so he specially found Tang Huai and asked: "Coach, I'm already fine, I can play." ”

Tang Huai couldn't be sure: "Are you sure, your current injury is relatively delicate, either hold it back and wait until it is neat, or you can show your real strength and become famous directly." Do you have that confidence? ”

"After waiting for a year, I only had six games to participate in, and I couldn't hold back! If you don't let me go to the track, what kind of snowboarder am I? I don't want to change careers to become a waxer at such a young age! ”

Tang Huai smiled: "You can participate in the competition, but you can't go with us." ”

"Why?"

"Because you're now a member of the snowboard training team, not an athlete in the obstacle cross, you have to participate in the competition, you have to sign up as an individual athlete, and go through another channel."

Tang Huai's smile had a hint of conspiracy.

Gao Entropy felt that something was wrong: "Coach, if you have anything to say, what should I do to compete?" ”

Tang Huai took out his mobile phone to search for air tickets: "You book a ticket for December, go to Shanghai to meet Li Changyi first, and you will go to Italy together." This is his passport, you can help me carry it. ”

"What do you mean, will Li Changyi and I go to Italy first to take the lead?"

Gao Entropy was a little puzzled, but he could understand when he went to Italy that because of the impact of the epidemic this year, the snowboard World Cup was postponed and compressed, and it was scheduled to start on January 23, 2021 (in previous years, it was started in November of the previous year).

The first race will take place in Chisava Maranco, Italy, and the second race will be held at the same location and on the same track in a few days.

The move is to reduce the turnover of athletes and coaching staff and reduce the risk of contracting the pandemic.

Tang Huai nodded: "That's right!" You're still naked, and if you get used to the local venue for a month in advance, you shouldn't complain about other people's bad tracks, right? ”

He patted Gao Entropy on the shoulder and transferred a sum of money to him as the event fund for the competition.

Skiing is a sport with a lot of expenses, you have to fly around to catch up with the competition, and you have to pay for all the food, drink and Lazar during the journey, and it is difficult to support it without strong financial resources.

Therefore, foreign skiers need to pull sponsorship themselves in order to get the participation funds. Young players may also be able to get the investment support of the federation, but if they are too old to be favored for their performances, all sources of funding will be cut off and they will have to retire in disgrace.

There is no non-governmental support program such as the Ski Federation in China, so it is difficult for amateur athletes to participate in international competitions.

Needless to say, the money that Gao Entropy got was paid by Tang Huai himself.

Tang Huai did not hide the truth, not only made it clear that Li Changyi is now an amateur athlete, but also explained the origin of this money: "This money is regarded as my investment in you, if you have good results in competitions in the future and continue to advertise invitations, then remember to double me if you make a lot of money." If you all play badly, then when I have no eyes and no one knows, spend money to buy a lesson! ”

High Entropy has seen this kind of play abroad and readily accepts the investment: "Coach, we strive to make you a great sports investor!" ”

When he went to Shanghai with the money, Tang Huai also called an important person in Inner Mongolia: "What about Wulihan?" Let him bring his passport and luggage to Shanghai. Yes, the new season is about to start, don't delay other people's children! ”

Tang Huai made a heart, neither said that this was not a call from the national team, nor did he say that it was for Wu Lihan to participate in his personal capacity, he planned to cut first and then play, and funded the trio to appear in the World Cup.

He didn't even report to the leaders of the Ice and Snow Center, only Gu Qiantong couldn't get around, because if he wanted to let Gao Entropy leave, he had to get a passport from her.

Gu Qiantong was a little worried: "Is it okay for you to cut first and then play like this?" ”

"This is the only way to force the palace. Let everyone obey the fate of heaven, this time the fate of Li Changyi and Wu Lihan is really in front of them, it depends on whether they can grasp it. ”

Tang Huaihe laid out his plan: If these three young men can show outstanding results in the World Cup, how do you say the media will report it? It must be an athlete from China!

Their identities are there, and standing on the podium is to represent China, to raise the five-star red flag, and to play the Chinese national anthem.

Since Li Changyi or Wu Lihan and Gao Entropy have won honor for China, the leader of your Ice and Snow Center is embarrassed not to recall them to the national team?

Gao Entropy went to meet Li Changyi with such a plan, originally he and Wu Lihan still had some grievances, Li Changyi ran in from it, and there were common goals and tasks, the three of them finally broke the barrier and worked together to pursue their future destiny.

The free athletes had the advantage of arriving in Italy three weeks earlier than Tang Huai's national team to start their pre-match acclimatization.

Standing on the thick snow, Li Changyi is thrilled, and since he retired from the competition in Spain in March 2020, he has not set foot in the snow for nine months.

Gao Entropy has been recuperating for a long time, but in the past three months, he has been traveling with the team to various indoor ski resorts, and the snow feeling is better than Li Changyi.

The two of them looked at Wu Lihan in unison: "Brother, I haven't seen you for almost two years, how are you?" ”
