Gu Nan saw that he couldn't persuade Lu Yan, so he gave up. "Okay, I'll go back and talk to the investor. I wish you all the best in the rest of the races. ”

"We'll try. I also wish the Flying Bears better and better in the future. Lu Yan raised his wine glass and touched Gu Nan.

Gu Nan said with emotion: "When I first met you, you were still a teenager, childish, youthful and enthusiastic. Vigorous. Now they are all coaches of their own teams. ”

"Brother Nan, you were also very young at that time. At that time, you often practiced with us and took good care of us children. Lu Yan recalled. That was a memory of a long time ago.

"Hey, I was also a rookie who had just graduated from school at that time, and seeing you rookies was like seeing myself." Gu Nan said. Along the way, they have grown a lot, gained a lot, and lost a lot. After so many years, they are all old.

……

The two old friends always have endless topics to talk about together, and at ten o'clock, Lu Yan saw that the time was not early, so he took the initiative to say that he would end this small gathering and get together next time.

Back in the room, Wenhua was carefully watching the video of the game between the Intercity team and the Yuzhou team. Wenhua estimated that the people of the Intercity team are not idle now, and they must be watching the three games of the Beichuan team and the Flying Bears.

"Hungry or not? I brought you supper from outside. When Lu Yan came back, he bought two servings of cold noodles from the street.

"Not too hungry." Wenhua said in a low mood.

Lu Yan thought that Wenhua was too tired from staying up late these days, so he said, "It's okay, I'll eat when I'm hungry." You go to sleep first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

"I'm not sleepy. Brother Yan, are you leaving the Beichuan team? Wen Hua asked directly, a little sad.

Lu Yan smiled in surprise. "No. How could I possibly leave the Beichuan team. It was the general manager of the Flying Bears who came to me to catch up. I haven't seen each other for too long, so we talked a little more. ”

"That's good." Wenhua's mood turned cloudy in an instant.

Looking at the bright smile on Wen Hua's face, Lu Yan also smiled.

"Brother Yan, did you put chili oil in the cold noodles you bought? I suddenly got a little hungry. Wen Hua stared at the cold noodles in Lu Yan's hand and asked.

Lu Yan hurriedly handed over the cold noodles and said, "Put it away, I also asked the boss to put coriander." ”

Wenhua happily took a cold noodle, happy like a child.

The two of them stayed up late again. In the wee hours of the morning, both of them fell asleep on their desks.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lu Yan's alarm clock rang. The two of them were woken up by the alarm clock and got up in a daze, and the sound of joint movement came from their waists.

Lu Yan stretched out his arms and moved his legs. His old arms and legs are no longer flexible. The two of them were so tired last night that they didn't even bother to walk a few steps to the bed, so they lined up on the table and closed their eyes and fell asleep. There is no need for transition time at all.

"Why did you sleep last night. The video of the game has not yet been watched. Wen Hua said with a tired face.

"It's fine. We have two more days to go. The semifinals were the opening match between the Orcas and the Southern State. Our match against Intercity doesn't start until the night after tomorrow. Lu Yan reminded.

Wenhua suddenly realized: "Yes." I almost forgot about it. "He's been so tired for the last week.

"You wait a while, I'll go wash up first. I'll go for breakfast and then gather for training at the course. Lu Yan said, taking heavy steps to the bathroom to wash.

Wen Huaqiang cheered up, got up and walked out, and said, "Don't slow down." I also went to wash up. ”

"Well, I'll see you later." Lu Yan said with a blank mouth.

Coming out of the room, Wenhua saw that some of the players of the Beichuan team had already gotten up. Well rested at night, they are now in good spirits and in good shape.

In the restaurant, Lu Yan met Jiang Tianyu and Xiang Nan. The two seemed to be waiting for Lu Yan. The plates on the table were empty. The entire restaurant except for the two of them is all from the Beichuan team. The Flying Bears can leave for home today. Nothing is sure to get up so early. And Lu Yan remembered that Xiang Nan did not have the habit of eating breakfast in the early days. Thinking about it, Lu Yan knew that they were waiting for themselves.

Before Lu Yan sat down and started to eat breakfast, Xiang Nan and Jiang Tianyu walked over.

"Will you take the team to the stadium for training later?" Xiang Nan said without words.

"Hmm. Good morning. Lu Yan hurriedly stood up and greeted them.

"Good morning, Brother Yan." Jiang Tianyu stood next to Xiang Nan and said with a smile. Lu Yan's achievements now make him envious. He seems to have been following Lu Yan's footsteps, but he has never been able to catch up with Lu Yan. When he was a player, Lu Yan was Jiang Tianyu's fierce rival. At that time, the outside world kept comparing the two of them. At that time, Jiang Tianyu took Lu Yan as a target to chase, but until Lu Yan was at the end of his career and was about to retire, he only tied with Lu Yan. After retiring, he is also copying Lu Yan's path and being the team's assistant coach, or squeezing out Lu Yan to be the assistant coach of the Flying Bears. He thought he had caught up with Lu Yan, but as soon as Lu Yan turned around, he became the head coach of the Beichuan team, and in his rookie season as a coach, he rushed to the semifinals with the Beichuan team, which had always had the lowest results.

Lu Yan seemed to have easily obtained what Jiang Tianyu had dreamed of.

In the face of Lu Yan, Jiang Tianyu may be a little unwilling, but more admiration. Lu Yan is a respectable opponent. It is undeniable that along the way to follow in Lu Yan's footsteps, Jiang Tianyu has also gained a lot.

"You guys woke up so early, I just got up and came over for dinner." Lu Yan said casually. As the winner of the match, he also wants to show his humility and does not want to hurt the feelings of his opponent by showing it off.

"We also just finished breakfast. Come on for the next game. I'm optimistic about your Beichuan team. Xiang Nan said generously. The Flying Bears missed the semifinals, and who wins or loses in the next games has nothing to do with their Flying Bears. But Xiang Nan still hopes that the Beichuan team can beat the intercity team and win. Because last season, the Flying Bears were folded in the hands of the Intercity team, and if the Intercity team also became the defeat of the Beichuan team, then at least it proved that the Beichuan team was strong, and their Flying Bears did not lose unjustly.

Xiang Nan, who was out of the game early, began to have the idea of swinging rotten.

"Let's do it together. We'll see you next season, Nango. I also see the Flying Bears. Lu Yan said with feeling. This team name, which has accompanied him for most of his life, is now an opponent when he says it.

"Well, see you next season. We'll train well in the off-season. Be careful next season. Xiang Nan said his true words in a joking way.

Lu Yan said modestly: "We have never taken it lightly in the face of the Flying Bears. ”

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Xiang Nan's heart trembled, it turned out that he took it lightly. He has always felt that the Beichuan team has come to this point with the favor of Lady Luck. But he ignores that luck is also based on his own strength. They made a common mistake that they should not have committed, the strong team faced the natural arrogance and contempt of the weak team, and did not put themselves in the right position.

Xiang Nan nodded in agreement, sighed and patted Lu Yan's shoulder.

"Brother Yan, I wish you all the best in the next games." Jiang Tianyu gave Lu Yan a hug.

After a few pleasantries, they left. Xiangnan went back to reflect, and Lu Yan's inadvertent words woke him up.

Lu Yan looked at the back of Xiang Nan and Jiang Tianyu leaving, and fell into deep thought, if nothing else, by the time he came back in the evening, the Flying Bears had already left the competition area. The person standing beside Xiang Nan was now replaced by Jiang Tianyu.

After everyone had breakfast, they took a bus to the stadium for training. Wenhua saddled up and worked with the staff of the Beichuan team to ensure the logistics work.

When they left the cafeteria, they saw players from other teams and players starting to come over for breakfast. Zhao Xinming also had a face-to-face with Zhou Xincheng.

Zhou Xincheng cordially gave Zhao Xinming a circle and said happily: "Congratulations." I watched your game yesterday and you played really well, and I know my true biography. ”

"The main thing is that I have a deep understanding myself." Zhao Xinming said jokingly.

Zhou Xincheng was not happy and said, "This is a bit of a trick." I don't want you to thank me again. Can't you praise verbally? Alas! What a waste of feelings. ”

Zhao Xinming hurriedly softened and praised cooperatively: "Good...... You're the best. Clear-headed and quick-witted. ”

Zhou Xincheng nodded with satisfaction and reluctantly said, "It's pretty much the same." ”

"I'm leaving, let's stop talking." Zhao Xinming saw that everyone was gone, so he hurriedly chased him out.

For two consecutive days, Lu Yan took the Beichuan team to train together. This is their last training time before the tournament. They all hurry up to train, but they are inevitably a little impetuous, worried about the game, and fatigued by the competition. These are all difficulties they have to face, and since they have all gone through a lot of hardships to get to this point, they naturally will not give up easily. Before the dust settles, the heart is also floating. It's an ordeal. For people with a good mentality, this is not a thing, but for people with a bad mentality, this is a kind of torture, torture from the heart, torture for oneself.

Ren Qiu silently transformed this ordeal into tireless training. He doesn't have the mentality and self-confidence of Zhao Xinming, Cheng Xi, and Xu Yi, and he can be calm and calm at any time. He only has a resolute heart. Maybe his approach is a bit stupid, but it works.

"Oh, I'm so tired, I can't do it, I have to rest." Cheng Xi strode to the sidelines to get a towel to wipe his sweat, and then picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank it all, instantly feeling a lot more comfortable. It's still April, and when he gets up in the morning, he still feels a little cold in short sleeves. He stood motionless, watching the beads of sweat on his arms gather together and then fall to the floor, feeling the sweat on his skin. I have to say that Linlin is happy, but she is a little tired.

Zhao Xinming lifted his jersey and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, then gasped and said, "Give me a bottle." Thank you. ”

Cheng Xi bent down and picked up a bottle of mineral water, raised his hand and threw it to Zhao Xinming.

Zhao Xinming stretched out his hand to catch it, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and then raised his hand to accurately throw the mineral water bottle into the trash can ten meters away.

Seeing this, the others also asked Cheng Xi to hand over water, and Cheng Xi enthusiastically threw water to the others. After a while, it rained mineral water bottles above the garbage cans.

In a group of people, only Ren Qiu was unmoved, concentrating on practicing the movements he had repeated thousands of times.

"Hey, Brother Qiu, take a break, drink saliva and practice again." Cheng Xi persuaded him.

Ren Qiu said unappreciatively: "No, I'm not thirsty." Drink it. ”

Cheng Xi shook his head helplessly, and drank another bottle himself, as if he was drinking it for Ren Qiu. Ren Qiu, this guy is too hardworking.

Lu Yan is patiently teaching other players, and it seems that he wants to prepare more for the game. Although the main players of the Kitagawa team are all strong, the main players of the team that entered the semi-finals are also very strong. Talent reserve is also a regular measure and important guarantee for a strong team, and it is a necessary skill for a strong team to be able to have someone to top it when necessary to maintain the overall strength of the team.

Cheng Xi, Ren Qiu, Xu Yi, and Zhao Xinming have outstanding abilities, so they don't need Lu Yan to worry about it, and the other players still need Lu Yan's teaching and allocation. The competition between the strong teams is not only a city and a pool, a move and a style, it is a comprehensive, comprehensive, and all-round competition. This is also the reason why the audience likes to watch strong teams play against strong teams.

Everyone worked on their weaknesses. Cheng Xi practiced for a while and suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. It must have been too much water just now. Cheng Xi threw the ball to Zhao Xinming and went to the toilet.

Coming out of the toilet, Cheng Xi actually saw the monsoon. Monsoon stood at the door of the arena and looked out, as if looking for someone.

Cheng Xi, a social expert, took the initiative to come forward to say hello: "Brother Feng, aren't you going to meet the team's residence today?" How do you have time to come? ”

"I have something to do with Xu Yi, can you help me call him over?" Monsoon quickly said his request. He was worried that he didn't know how to talk to Xu Yi.

"Are you looking for Brother Yi?" Cheng Xinei wondered when Monsoon had such a good relationship with Xu Yi. Xu Yi is a fake fan of the monsoon. After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xi still said enthusiastically: "Wait a minute, I'll help you call him over." ”

Monsoon said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Cheng Xida said with a big grin, turned around and walked straight towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was concentrating on training, not noticing Cheng Xi coming, and accidentally stepped on Cheng Xi's foot.

Cheng Xi grew his mouth in pain, and wanted to shout "it hurts" but was afraid of being ridiculed by everyone, so he endured it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Xu Yi, who was aware of the accident, hurriedly checked Cheng Xi's situation and apologized.

Cheng Xi moved his ankles and toes and said, "It's okay, it's all flesh wounds." The monsoon is waiting for you at the door. He seems to have something to tell you. ”

"Monsoon?" Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Xu Yi was obviously stunned, and couldn't guess why Ji Feng came to him for a while.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe it either. But I really didn't fool you. Monsoon is literally waiting for you at the door. You go and check it out. Cheng Xi persuaded him. Once born, second ripe, everyone is in this circle, and they will meet every year. It's not a team, but it's a colleague. There's always a good relationship. And people have already taken the initiative.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Xu Yi walked to the door full of doubts, and when he went out, he saw the monsoon that had been waiting for a long time.

Ji Feng was the first to speak: "Hello, Xu Yi." I'm here to say goodbye to you. After lunch, our team will go back. ”

Xu Yi was confused when he heard it, but he still said politely: "Well, bye-bye." See you next year. ”
