Chapter 1: Running to You
2014, Summer, H Province
Su Nian lay on the bed and stared blankly at the locust tree outside the window, listening to the cicadas singing at the end of summer and dying, she had been lying like this for several days.
The racket on the table seems to have fallen a layer of dust, and the small white ball that has been jumping in the past is also silent, almost ten years of hard work, just give up?
"How? Still not coming out? Dad Su got off work, carrying a bag in one hand and a big watermelon in the other, opened the door awkwardly, still didn't hear his daughter's hearty laughter, and asked Su's mother quietly.
Su Ma shook her head and signaled that there was no progress.
A week ago, Su Nian participated in the National Youth Table Tennis Championship for the second time, which was Su Nian's second impact on the national team, and everyone thought that she would successfully win the championship and enter the national team this year.
But to everyone's surprise, Su Nian lost to a young player with a special style of play in the first round of the main tournament and was out of the game.
After losing the game, Su Nianfu locked himself in the room, did not speak, and did not come out.
"Alas!" Su's father didn't change his clothes, and sat straight on the sofa, "If you want me to say forget it, we don't necessarily have to take the road of career, take advantage of the now, send Su Nian to school, can't you go to school smoothly like an ordinary child?" β
As he spoke, he leaned back and loosened his tie, feeling a little uncomfortable for his daughter.
"She shouldn't have been allowed to learn table tennis, learn to draw, dance or something to pass the time, but now it's good, she must take a career, this road is too difficult!" Su's father complained a little about Su's mother, because they both had to go to work, thinking that Xiao Su Nian had no one to take after school, so he asked her to learn table tennis, but he didn't expect this to learn, so he embarked on a career path.
Su Ma was not happy to hear this, she had been in a hurry for Su Nian's affairs in the past few days, and she was already in a bad mood, and she was even more angry when she heard the words, so she stood up suddenly, seeing that a quarrel was about to happen.
"Click~", the door of Su Nian's room opened, and a round head probed out, "I want to watch the game", Su Nian scratched his head as he spoke, and seemed a little embarrassed.
Su's father and Su's mother were overjoyed when they saw that Su Nian finally came out, "Look at it, your parents are going to cook for you." β
Su Nian slowly moved to the TV and comforted himself, "Even if you don't play table tennis, it's nothing to watch a game." β
"Audience friends, audience friends, here is the CCTV channel, here is the CCTV channel, the next thing we are about to broadcast for you is the scene of the men's singles final of the Asian Games, the Asian Games final is brought by the new World Table Tennis Championships champion Zhang Jue and the 17-year-old Jingxing, Jingxing is the biggest dark horse of the Asian Games, all the way to defeat ......."
"Jing Xing, don't you know, newcomer?" Su Nian saw that the opposing side didn't even know him, "Good guy, there is no world ranking?" Did you start directly from the qualifiers? β
She became a little intrigued and decided to take a good look at the game.
At the beginning of the game, four wins in seven games, Zhang Jue served first.
Zhang Jue is currently a rare left-handed straight board play in men's table tennis, his forehand ability is very prominent, and the advantage of height and arm length makes his far-platform offensive ability at the absolute top level in the world, and his ball sense is extremely good, and he is called the king of the far-stage by fans.
Zhang Jue just won the World Table Tennis Championships, and it was when the momentum was very strong, and he started very fast as soon as he came up, using his forehand and far platform ability, almost pressing Jing Xing to play.
On the other hand, Jing Xing may be because he has reached the final of an international competition for the first time, or it may be because his opponent is too strong, causing him to look very nervous and make frequent mistakes.
The game was not as fierce as the audience thought, the situation was almost one-sided, and soon Zhang Jue got the hope of winning the game with a score of 3:0.
"It seems that the young player Jingxing still lacks experience in the competition, and there are too many mistakes in the first three games", the commentator saw this situation and felt that the game might be about to end, so he summarized it in advance.
"It's true that there is no way, why does the coach have to watch this game", Su Nian couldn't understand, it was the third game, except for feeling that Zhang Jue played very well, the other Su Nian didn't feel that there was anything to learn.
In the fourth game, the mutation rose, and Jing Xing seemed to have suddenly found a solution and began to stare at Zhang Jue's backhand.
Backhand twisting and pulling, attacking near the stage, the backhand suddenly changed the line, and the first three games seemed to be a different person, a completely different style of play, especially Jing Xing's twisting and pulling, full of explosive power, board and plate force, Zhang Jue was almost powerless to parry. There is also a backhand line change, which is very sudden, and the action is also very confusing, everyone thinks it is a forehand, but he suddenly switches the shot, and the backhand is a straight line.
Su Nian was stunned, and his round eyes widened.
Next, every ball amazed Su Nian, and the audience seemed to be woken up by Jing Xing, shouting desperately, and the shouts of the stadium almost covered the sound of the commentary.
βTroyοΌβ "Hey", at the beginning of the fourth game, every time he scored a point, Jing Xing shouted out to cheer for himself, and in the face of a strong opponent, he mobilized himself with all his might.
Relying on the sudden outburst and line change, Jingxing played three games in a row, tied the score of 3:3, and dragged the game into a decisive game.
In the seventh game, Jing Xing became more and more courageous, Zhang Jue also began to exert his strength, wonderful offensive and defensive conversions, forehand pulling, backhand holding and changing lines, every wonderful ball landed, all made the audience excited, tens of thousands of people cheered in the stadium The sound of cheering resounded in the sky, the voice of the commentary was hoarse, Su Nian in front of the TV had already jumped up, eager to hold the TV, wanting to see every ball clearly.
The score was 9:7, Jing Xing was ahead, his last round of serve, the audience all held their breath, the stadium was instantly quiet, the sound of a needle falling seemed to affect the situation on the field, everyone held their breath, waiting for the last two balls to land.
In the middle backhand, Zhang Jue picked lightly in the stage, Jing Xing turned to a backhand, held each other, retreated, attacked from the far platform, Jing Xing continued to change the line, Zhang Jue defended back to a board, Jing Xing once again backhanded a large angle, won the key point, the score was 10:7, and he got the match point, leading Zhang Jue by three match points.
"Ahh As soon as the ball hit the ground, the audience jumped up like crazy.
Jing Xing was about to send the last ball, the stadium was quiet for a moment, it was a long shot, and for the last ball, Jing Xing used a tactic that he had never used before, and sent a long ball, so that Zhang Jue made a mistake in returning the ball without any preparation.
"It's so powerful! Jing Xing is so bold! The commentator stood up from the chair excitedly, they didn't expect that in the final key point, Jing Xing could use a tactic that he had never used before, one move to defeat the enemy, and kill the opponent!
"Courage and courage are indispensable goals, which made Jingxing and let him win the game!"
"Jing Xing won! Jing Xing won! Jing Xing defeated Zhang Jue! At the age of 17, he defeated the champion of the World Table Tennis Championships, and won the championship with absolute dark horse strength in the first international competition, let us congratulate Jingxing! Congratulations to the Chinese table tennis team! Teenager Fight! The future is promising! β
"Jing Xing! Jingxing! Jingxing! The audience cheered Jing Xing's name, and after he signaled to Zhang Jue, he turned to face the audience, raised his fist, and let out an angry roar.
"Roar!" Like a sign of a new king ascending the throne, the 17-year-old boy told the world, I am coming!
Su Nian didn't know how to think at all, her mind was full of Jing Xing's figure turning around and shouting at the audience, the camera was aimed at his back, and the words CHIAN.J.X on her clothes kept magnifying in her eyes,
It rings in my head like a wake-up call.
The fire of war in his heart ignited again, Su Nian picked up the racket and rushed out of the house, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the stadium, don't wait for me to eat." β
On the way to the stadium, Su Nian's inner voice became stronger and stronger, "I'm going to the national team!" I'm going to see him! I have to go see him! βγ
Keep reverberating, never forget!
