I became the king of short track speed skating in figure skating Section 124
Although the surrounding Huaguo team players were surprised, it ultimately came down to the difference in their personal physique - maybe Su Liang is the kind of person who can still be energetic when sailing across borders?
After that, everyone didn't talk about anything, and after arriving at their respective floors, they all got out of the elevator and walked to their rooms.
Just like Jiang Yibo explained before leaving, Mu Yuansheng and Su Liang were arranged in the same guest room, and after getting out of the elevator, Mu Yuansheng also implemented the principle of 'taking care of his junior brother' and helped Su Liang take all the luggage he could take together.
Although Su Liang had the heart to tell his senior brother that he didn't need to take extra care of himself like this, he couldn't say this sentence every time he looked at Mu Yuansheng's gentle smile and gaze.
In the end, I had to honestly follow my brother's arrangement, and the whole process was arranged clearly.
After entering the room, Mu Yuansheng also helped to put all Su Liang's luggage clearly.
Su Liang stayed aside and had no room to interfere, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at the current time, and broadcast a domestic number.
That's right, before he went abroad, he specially went to handle the business of cross-border calls, although the tariff for cross-border calls is indeed a bit expensive, but there is no pressure on Su Liang, who is currently called a little rich.
is also because he promised to call Nuan Nuan even if he goes abroad, which can make the little guy feel a little more at ease.
It was 4:10 p.m. Hungarian time, and it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening on the 6th, but the call was quickly picked up almost as soon as the bell rang.
"Brother!"
Xiao Budian's voice immediately passed through the phone and reached Su Liang's ears.
Su Liang then softened his face: "Nuan Nuan." ”
Xiao Budian on the other end of the phone heard that it was really Su Liang's voice, and immediately became happy, holding the phone 'brother' and calling more than a dozen times, and then said in a soft little milk voice: "Brother, Nuan Nuan misses my brother so much." ”
Even though he usually secretly complains and refuses to admit that the cub version of himself is so coquettish, after hearing the voice on the phone, Su Liang still relented.
"Good, I'll be able to see my brother's game in a few days."
"Aang! Nuan Nuan will cheer for my brother! ”
Su Liang smiled lightly: "Okay, then my brother will also give you warmth." ”
After Xiao Budian occupied the phone for 10 minutes, Jiang Yibo finally deceived the right to call the phone from Xiao Budian's hands, and hurriedly asked Su Liang and others about the situation in Budapest, and asked Su Liang if he was still suitable for taking a plane abroad and had any motion sickness? Then I muttered to him a basket of things like resting early and adjusting for jet lag.
Although his father had recited these things several times before leaving, he also listened patiently to his father's ramblings.
By the time I hung up, nearly 30 minutes had passed.
Mu Yuansheng, I had already roughly packed my luggage when Su Liang was chatting with Nuan Nuan, and they just arrived at the place tonight, so they didn't need to disassemble too much equipment, they just took out a simple change of clothes.
After Su Liang hung up the phone, Mu Yuansheng had already cleaned up by himself, motioned for Su Liang to clean up briefly, and then went downstairs to the lobby to gather for dinner together.

After all, they are all athletes with outstanding physique, and they are all young people, and these players of the national youth team are quite fast to recover their state.
After dinner the night before, everyone was herded back to their rooms and enjoyed a long sleep that began at seven or eight o'clock.
When I woke up the next morning, basically everyone had already adjusted their state.
At this time, it is January 7, Budapest time, and there are only 3 days to prepare for the official start of the game on January 10.
First, the whole team led the team to the training venue that the embassy helped to contact for two days of daily training, and then on the third day, Zhang Dongcheng pulled everyone to the Budapest Central Gymnasium, which is the venue for the World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships on January 10.
Teams from different countries, according to the organizer's arrangement, will have 1 hour of ice training and adaptation time in the venue during the two days, starting from the 8th to the end of the 9th.
At the same time, this on-ice training acclimatization time is open to all teams.
In other words, the training of athletes of each national team will also be presented in the eyes of each national team.
This is a fixed event in every World Youth Championships, World Championships and Winter Olympics, and this kind of open training is an opportunity for each national team to investigate the enemy situation and learn about the training situation and methods of other countries, and for the teams training on the field, it is also a manifestation of their own strength.
Of course, there are also some teams that have a lot of twists and turns, such as South Korea, which has done things that affect the judgment of other teams by releasing water during training, and finally disrupt the opponent's mentality in official matches.
Therefore, this kind of pre-match open training, the coaching staff and players of various countries will try their best to watch it, but after watching it, whether to believe the training techniques and strength shown by the other party is another question.
China's short track speed skating national youth team is also a strong team at the World Youth Championships, and the organizers also know what the coaching staff of various countries want to see, so for convenience, the organizers have arranged the open training adaptation time of the teams of China, Canada, and South Korea together.
They are at 2-3 p.m., 3:10-4:10, and 4:20-5:20 p.m. on the 9th, of which the group from 2 to 3 p.m. is the training and adaptation time left for the Chinese team, followed by the Canadian team and the South Korean team.
On the way to the central stadium in Budapest, Zhang Dongcheng and Pei Jing explained the specific situation of this training to the players.
Sun Ruixiang was a little confused when he heard it: "...... Wow, is it still that complicated? ”
Lin Yongsheng and Zhou Qiqi on the side can understand very well, no matter what, they are national teams, and through the performance of these young players, they can see the future echelon construction of the opponent, which is certainly worth noting.
Sun Ruixiang then asked blankly: "What should I do then?" Are we going to put on a show on the ice? ”
Hearing Sun Ruixiang's question, Zhang Dongcheng immediately laughed: "No need to act, we Huaguo Xing is sitting up straight, what is the usual training, you just need to do what you always do." There is no need to have any scruples. ”
"Besides, if I ask you to act, will you really act?"
Especially a second goods like Sun Ruixiang, even if he can't act out anything.
But just when Sun Ruixiang was scratching his head, Wu Gang in the back row of him suddenly said: "We can't act, Su Liang can act." ”
All:???
Many people in the car were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly there was a series of dry coughs one after another - everyone remembered what happened when Su Liang played Li Zhengtai in the first place.
At the mention of this, Zhang Dongcheng's face also became a little serious: "There will be open training in South Korea later, Su Liang, you will stay for a while, let's visit together." ”
After all, it is said that it is an open training, but it does not mean that all members of all teams are on site, basically that each team will have a few coaches and athlete representatives to stay on site to watch.
After saying this, Zhang Dongcheng said: "Telling you this is nothing else, that is, some players are participating in the World Youth Championships for the first time, and they don't know the existence of this process, mainly to let you relax and not affect your state." ”
After saying this, Zhang Dongcheng didn't explain anything else, but asked the players to rest a little and go to the place after a while.
***
After about another 5 minutes' drive, the bus successfully arrived at the Budapest Central Stadium, and under the reception of the organizer staff, the players of the Huaguo team entered the special lounge, and after a brief warm-up, they quickly changed their training clothes.
When Su Liang and other athletes, together with the coach Pei Jing, arrived at the official competition venue of short track speed skating under the guidance of the staff, everyone also saw that the small ice arena, the front row of the spectator seat or the coach's command seat were more or less full of coaches and athletes wearing national uniforms.
And after Su Liang stepped onto the ice, he subconsciously noticed a sharp gaze from a certain direction - when he turned his gaze in that direction, he saw the South Korean coach and a young player next to the South Korean coach.
This young athlete is not Kim Hyun-deok or Kang Yeon-ha, but Choi Chang-hee, a former 1500m prodigy from South Korea who appeared in the South Korea Practice Invitational Tournament earlier.
Chapter 111
Perhaps noticing Su Liang's gaze, Cui Changxi also looked unceremoniously in Su Liang's direction.
This young player, who was still a little immature at the South Korea Invitational Practice Tournament, has now completely faded from the arrogance of the time and looks calm and low-key, but his gaze is much sharper than it was at the beginning.
Outside the field, team leaders, coaches and representatives from various countries were paying attention to the training of the Chinese team on the ice, while Zhang Dongcheng and another coach on the side quietly paid attention to the direction of the South Korean team.
"The coach of the South Korean youth team is back to Lee Yong-ha?"
"Looks like so."
Zhang Dongcheng squinted and looked at the direction of the South Korean team: "This Li Yonghe has some ability." ”
The practice invitational match when the Chinese team invited South Korea sent back the South Korean team that harbored evil intentions.
Of course, the Hwa team also followed up with the South Korean team, and the youth team of the South Korean national team at that time, together with Lee Yong-ha, Choi Chang-hee and Ko Jae-yong, directly became the victims of that practice match.
Lee Yong-ha resigned as the head coach of the national youth team, and Choi Chang-hee and Ko Jae-yong, two young players who were originally trained by South Korea, also disappeared from the South Korean youth team in the future.
Zhang Dongcheng originally thought that Lee Yong-ha should have no hope of recovery, but he didn't expect to see Lee Yong-ha leading the team as the head coach of South Korea at the World Youth Championships in a blink of an eye.
In South Korea, a country that attaches great importance to the honor and disgrace of athletes, Lee Yong-ha and Choi Chang-hee, who are already considered 'over', can still reappear on the field of the World Youth Championships, it can only be said that Lee Yong-ha is indeed capable, and Choi Chang-hee's talent is indeed strong enough that a national team like South Korea is willing to try to use him again.
Su Liang's fierce rival!
This thought quickly came to Zhang Dongcheng's mind.
There is no doubt that this World Youth Championships, for Lee Yong-ha and Choi Chang-hee, is an inevitable 'battle of revenge', and they will definitely do their best for this competition.
On the other side, the staff of the Huaguo team, who had just left to inquire about the news, also returned to Zhang Dongcheng's side.
"Team Zhang, just now the organizers have officially released the list of competitors from various countries, and the 1500m in South Korea is Choi Chang-hee, Kim Hyun-deok and Kang Yeon-ha."
Zhang Dongcheng nodded.
He knows South Korea's selection rules for the World Junior Championships, and compared with China's selection rules, South Korea's selection rules are more straightforward, that is, the selection is made directly according to the ranking of the selection competition.
In other words, Choi Chang-hee and another player before him, Gao Jae-yong, should have successfully qualified for the South Korean domestic trials, and then in the trials, Choi Chang-hee successfully ascended, but Ko Jae-yong should have lost in the selection and failed to win this opportunity to make him ashamed.
And Choi Chang-hee, the only one who won this opportunity, and Kim Hyun-deok and Kang Yeon-ha, who were defeated by Su Liang at the World Cup Jingshi Station......
Such a team undoubtedly came to Budapest with the decision to win.
Their hunger for victory will inevitably be stronger than in the previous World Cup in Beijing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dongcheng frowned - this battle is not easy to fight.
***
On the ice, Su Liang could feel that when he was adapting to the training and feeling the ice surface of Budapest, countless eyes were locked on him, and the most focused among them was naturally the attention of South Korean coaches Lee Yong-ha and Choi Chang-hee.
Next to the arena, Li Yonghe looked at the ice of the arena with a sinking face.
Among all the players in the Huaguo team, he is of course most concerned about Su Liang - the player who has made him turn over in a smooth career.
After returning to South Korea after the practice invitational match in China, Lee Yong-ha was forced to resign as the head coach of the youth team, but he did not relax for a moment, and was always looking for an opportunity to rise again.
After the previous World Cup Huaguo Jingshi game, he finally found his chance, and he used the performance of Su Liang and the Huaguo team to let everyone know - it is not that he and the players he leads are too weak, but that the Huaguo team has already secretly cultivated Su Liang, a talented player who is not lost to Cui Changxi, Gao Jaeyong and others.
A 15-year-old talent who went from figure skating to short track speed skating.
Not only that, but he also took out a series of research materials for Su Liang.
In order to observe Su Liang, a player who made him turn over, he personally checked Su Liang's schedule, and came to Huaguo to watch the game many times during Su Liang's competition.
It was also with this in-depth and detailed information about Su Liang that Lee Yong-ha re-took command and became the coach of the South Korean national team in the World Youth Championships.
Choi Chang-hee, who is next to Lee Yong-ha, has also lived like a shameful sinner for more than half a year before, and even his family persuaded him to leave the national team and give up the short track speed skating event, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Even in the face of humiliation and ridicule from his teammates, he always insisted on training.
He wants everyone to see that he Choi Chang-hee is a real genius - a mere Chinese player will only be an unpleasant stumbling block on his way to becoming king.
On the field, the athletes of the Chinese team have gradually adapted to the ice surface of Budapest in the skating - don't look at it just the ice surface, it seems that the ice surface is just a layer of ice, but the ice surface poured by different ice rinks has subtle differences in softness and hardness, including the regulations on the short track speed skating field.
For athletes, even a change in the softness and hardness of the ice surface may bring different effects to the player's performance.
Therefore, it is necessary for players to adapt to the ice in advance, and players like Hungary will have an advantage in terms of familiarity with the venue and ice surface.
The so-called home advantage is accumulated bit by bit in this way.
