The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 39 National Competition 3

After coming out of the office, Xie Shi'an wanted to go directly back to the dormitory to rest, but she still missed the video tape in her heart, and she was a little scratching her head if she didn't finish watching Yin Jiayi's game today.

Who told her that when the opponent was competing, she was also competing, so she had no time to distract herself from observing the battle situation.

But the video tape is at Jian Chang's place.

Xie Shi'an went up the stairs and came down again.

Forget it, just beg her this time.

It's all about the game, well, that's it.

Xie Shi'an successfully used this reason to convince himself to go to Jian Changnian. ,

If you want to watch videos, there is only one place other than the coach's office, the training room. Occasionally, during vacations, Yan Xinyuan will show some movies there for them to watch.

Xie Shi'an hadn't reached the training room when he heard the sound of shoe soles rubbing against the floor.

While watching the projection, Jian Changnian was not idle at the same time, waving the racket in his hand, watching Yin Jiayi's movements, digging out the details of himself over and over again, where there was nothing to do well.

Sometimes Yin Jiayi's movements are too fast for the camera to capture. She has to stop and slow down several times to think carefully, and then a sense of frustration inevitably arises in the process.

As expected of a national player, she is too impeccable in every aspect, and it is not something she can figure out in a short time and catch up with.

The ground was full of badmintons, and another basket of **** was finished.

Jian Changnian rested her hands on her knees and gasped for breath. The sweat dripped down the ground from her hair. She gritted her teeth and looked at Yin Jiayi on the screen a little unwillingly. She stood up straight again and prepared for the next round of serve .

Xie Shi'an walked in through the mist and dew on a winter night.

"If you practice like this, it's useless except for making your muscles sore and making you unable to get out of bed tomorrow morning."

"Then you say..." Jian Changnian was concentrating on training, but was interrupted by someone unexpectedly, and turned his head impatiently. Seeing that it was her, he immediately restrained himself, and changed his tone of doglegs.

"What should I do?"

Now that's all right, since she asked, Xie Shi'an walked in, sat down on the floor, facing the big screen.

"Even if it is the same person, the style of play in each game cannot be exactly the same, but no matter what style of play, there are some subconscious habits that cannot be changed overnight. These small habits may be her advantage and will become her Her fatal weakness."

Jian Changnian suddenly realized and nodded. Xie Shi'an's words meant that she should concentrate on watching the game and not be distracted while playing.

She looked at her posture belatedly, and suddenly remembered it a little bit.

"No, you didn't sarcasm me when I lost the game, but you kindly came to teach me, did the sun come out from the west?"

Xie Shi'an put on a dull face, smiling on the surface.

"Actually, I've concocted a lot of words like 'The aunt who cooks in the cafeteria doesn't shake as much as you do', if you want to hear it..."

"Hey, don't—" Jian Changnian quickly stopped, and found that although she was talking to herself, her eyes were still glued to the projection.

As soon as the bad-hearted boy came up, he circled around with the racket and squatted down in front of her on purpose.

"I said, why are you doing this today? So you also want to watch Yin Jiayi's video."

Xie Shi'an's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he thought she blocked his sight.

"Are you done? Get out of the way when you're done."

"That can't be done, I borrowed this first, unless..." Jian Chang thought... suddenly jumped from her eyes to her side and sat cross-legged next to her.

"Let's watch together."

The young man's body is hot, the temperature is high, and his knees are facing his knees, separated only by a thin layer of sweatpants.

Xie Shi'an felt uncomfortable and moved to the side.

"You stay away from me."

Jian Chang reads like an inch.

"No, no, I will be next to you."

Help.

Seeing that she was about to be pulled up, Xie Shi'an's scalp was numb, and he was about to run away on the spot.

Jian Chang chanted a word and fixed her in place.

"I really don't want to watch it, oops, then I have to study it alone, maybe it can be used in future competitions."

"..."

Xie Shi'an stepped back again, and sat down obediently, but his back was straight, and his whole body exuded an aura of not getting close to strangers.

Jian Changnian couldn't hold back a burst of laughter, causing the other party to give him a sharp look and at the same time make a gesture of scratching his neck.

She closed her voice tactfully, and obediently sat cross-legged beside her, not to harass her intentionally.

The two sat side by side like good students. Only a few wall lamps were turned on in the training room. The dim light shone down, casting a soft halo on their bodies, and the shadows cast on the floor looked like each other. Like snuggling together.

Jian Changnian occasionally asks questions in a low voice when he doesn't understand something.

Xie Shi'an answered her nonchalantly.

The clock on the wall ticked away the minutes and seconds.

The videotape ran out of the last frame.

It's been a long time since Jian Changnian asked her a question. The remote control was on her side. Xie Shi'an wanted to tell her to turn off the projection, so he turned his head to look.

The man closed his eyes, his head was moving little by little, and he looked extremely sleepy, but suddenly he fell over towards her.

For a moment, Xie Shi'an didn't think much, put his hand between her head and his shoulder blades, and said softly.

"Wake up, go back to sleep."

Jian Changnian leaned into the softness, and woke up suddenly, with the faint fragrance of washing powder from her cuffs lingering around her nose.

She realized that she had fallen asleep relying on Xie Shi'an, and she was about to stand up like lightning. Who knew that after sitting for a long time, her legs became numb, and she lost her balance, and fell headlong into her arms. Out of a sense of crisis, she Her whole body hugged her around the waist.

Xie Shi'an: "..."

Jian Changnian: "..."

When the four eyes met, Xie Shi'an's eyes were so cold that he wanted to kill someone, and he said every word.

"stand up."

When she realized where she was being buried, Jian Changnian threw herself on the ground in embarrassment, blushing to the base of her neck.

"Ahhh, I'm sorry, my legs are numb and I really can't stand up. I didn't do it on purpose."

Before the words fell, Xie Shi'an gently pulled the corner of his lips.

"Really?"

As she spoke, she grabbed the man by the back of the neck and pulled him away.

There was despair in Jian Changnian's eyes.

"Please, don't let go, I can't feel my legs..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Shi'an smiled at her again.

It's like an angel's face, a devil's smile.

Jian Changnian's scalp felt numb, and in the next second, her whole body lightened up.

Xie Shi'an turned to leave, and a horrific wail came from behind him.

"Ah—Xie Shi'an, I didn't mean it. You beat up your teammate. I'm going to report to Coach Yan!"

Jian Changnian, who got up from the ground, limped and chased after him with a look of "you're done".

Xie Shi'an glanced at her lightly.

"Aren't I helping you with your leg cramps?"

"You, you, you, you are simply unreasonable, you confuse black and white, you have a small belly, you care about every detail..."

Xie Shi'an looked at her with a half-smile. Every time she said a word, she broke her joints and moved her wrists.

Jian Changnian saw that the situation was not good, so he rolled up the stairs, but now his legs and feet were more agile, and he turned around to bluff while running.

"You... just wait for me, sooner or later I will defeat you!"

She ran so fast that she didn't give Xie Shi'an a chance to catch up and give her another kick.

When the people ran away, Xie Shi'an also had a pleasant smile on his lips, and turned back to his dormitory.

***

Because of the tight schedule these days, in order to ensure adequate sleep and rest time, she had no choice but to go to the hospital to stay with her in bed. Fortunately, the medical staff knew about her family's situation and took extra care of her grandma.

Before leaving for the arena that day, she deliberately ran to the public phone booth in the corridor to call the hospital.

The nurse who answered the phone was a familiar sister. She asked if she could take the mobile phone to grandma's bed. She wanted to talk to grandma.

The nurse picked up her phone.

"Wait a minute, I'll call you back."

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

The sound of cloth rubbing and the nurse's sister's voice-over came from the receiver.

"Hey, yes, don't move your hands, I'll just hold it for you."

Knowing that grandma was listening, Jian Changnian smiled.

"Grandma, I heard from the nurse that you can already eat some liquid food? That's great. You must listen to the doctor's advice in the hospital, take medicine on time, eat well, and strive for a speedy recovery. I will see you after the game."

Grandma said something vaguely in her mouth, but she didn't hear it very clearly, she only heard "don't worry".

Jian Changnian laughed: "Hey, don't worry too."

"Shi'an, it's time for us to go."

Jian Changnian looked back.

The sunlight at the end of the corridor poured down, Qiao Yuchu was wearing a backpack, and waved at her from a distance, Xie Shi'an stood beside her with his hands in his pockets.

"coming."

Jian Changnian answered with her hands on the receiver, and gave her grandmother some advice, then hung up the phone in a hurry, and ran to her friends.

***

In the next few days of competition, the entire Binhai Province team was twisted into one rope. Under Yan Xinyuan's careful tactical arrangements, and the group single round-robin match adopted the "1 fixed counterclockwise rotation method" to determine the order of the competition. The teams that played against each other In the first stage, they will not encounter the second time, so they avoided Yin Jiayi, a strong opponent, and advanced to the semi-finals of the group stage without any danger. The Zhejiang team is far ahead in the standings and has already secured the final in advance. qualifications.

Under such circumstances, today's game against Jiangsu team is very important. If they win, they will qualify for the second final. Tomorrow, they will compete with Zhejiang team for the only qualifying place in the Eastern Division. If they lose, they will end in regret. That's the end of the team competition.

Therefore, everyone cheered up 120,000 points.

The head coach of the Jiangsu team was also Yan Xinyuan's teammate when he was still playing professionally. Before the game, the two met in the corridor and shook hands with each other.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to be able to play against you after retiring."

"Who said it wasn't? Back when we were in the national team, you would still cry when we were playing." Yan Xinyuan smiled...0340;.

The same is true on the other side's face.

"Don't mention such a long time ago. When you win the game, I will treat you to a celebration banquet. You must come to appreciate it."

"Where is it, I am the one who invites you."

Although they were both smiling, for some reason, Jian Changnian always felt crackling sparks flying around.

The two of them exchanged some spittle stars back and forth, seeing that it was getting late, they led their teams to leave.

As soon as he turned around, Yan Xinyuan's expression changed.

"This old **** speaks with guns and sticks in his words, don't show mercy to my men today, beat them hard!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

Jian Changnian ran to him in two or three steps and asked curiously.

"Coach Yan, do you have any trouble with him?"

Yan Xinyuan thought about it carefully.

"For the holidays, it's not. It's just that when we were young, we always competed together. We are competitive and we are used to it."

While speaking, they had already walked to the rest area on the field, and the game was about to start.

Yan Xinyuan stretched out his hand, and the hands of other team members covered them one after another.

Looking at these immature faces, he said loudly.

"Although I can no longer play games, my heart is still with you. I leave my unfulfilled dreams to you. Come on, everyone!"

"come on, come on, come on!"

The mountain roared and the tsunami.

The tightly clasped hands loosened.

The veteran stood under the stage, and the young people carried his expectations and stepped onto their battlefield.

The game officially kicked off.

This match was very important to the entire Binhai provincial team. Zhou Mu ran over early to watch the match, and even invited her classmates from the school team to be cheerleaders.

Jian Changnian glanced at the auditorium, and saw Cheng Zhen, Cao Rui, and even Director Luo from the hospital.

She smiled sincerely, nodded slightly at them, and took the racket to the field.

In the hospital, the nurse rocked the bed for grandma.

The old man picked up the remote control with trembling hands, but he couldn't use it. After pressing it a few times, he didn't turn on the TV.

The nurse saw her and came over to help her.

"Which channel do you want to watch?"

The old man inserted a nasal feeding tube and smiled.

"I want to see my granddaughter's game."

***

In terms of overall strength, although the Jiangsu team has no national players, it ranks at the forefront of the country in all aspects.

Among their team members, there are Zhejiang University sports students who have won national honors, and there are also active members of the national team. It can be said that the per capita level of the national youth team is high. It is conceivable that it is difficult to compete with such a team.

For Yan Xinyuan's formation, Xie Shi'an took the first order, and successfully won the first victory, which boosted morale.

In the second doubles match, Yang Li and her partner lost to each other.

In the third singles match, Yan Xinyuan glanced at the few people on the opposite side, then moved his gaze to Jian Changnian.

"Chang Nian, you go."

Jian Changnian took a deep breath and stood up.

"it is good."

The opposite coach also patted his player on the shoulder and said in a low voice.

"This is a newcomer with little experience in the game. You can play freely. Don't have any worries. Fight with her more and consume her energy. If you can drag it to the third round, it will be easy to fight."

...The team members nodded and walked onto the field with their rackets.

Yan Xinyuan was also giving her final instructions.

"The veteran player has enough experience, but you may not be as brave as you. Give full play to your advantages, kill the ball to attack her weak defense when you find an opportunity, try to win the game in two rounds, and try not to let her drag on to the third game. "

Jian Changnian nodded sternly.

Game three.

It's match time. If she can win this game, the Binhai Provincial team will lead 2:1. In the next doubles match, Xie Shi'an and Qiao Yu will play for the first time. There is probably no suspense, and the qualification for the final is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, the teenager gritted her teeth secretly, and her hand holding the racket tightened again and again. She must work hard to win this match point for the team.

However, at the beginning of the match, she was at a disadvantage, and her opponent's offensive was also very fierce. Relying on her own height advantage, she kept pressing on top of her crazily.

Jian Changnian was so exhausted that she couldn't breathe.

Even though he had tried his best, he still lost to the opponent with a score of 15:21.

She returned to the rest area with the racket.

Yan Xinyuan handed her a bottle of mineral water, a little resentful that iron could not be made into steel.

"What are you fighting her for? Diagonal is your advantage! Don't you understand?!"

Jian Changnian wiped the water stains on the corners of her lips, her eyes were like electricity.

"I see, Coach Yan, I will definitely play this game well."

"Go ahead, take it easy."

Yan Xinyuan took back the mineral water in her hand.

At the beginning of the second game, the opponent repeated his old tricks and kept playing with her with high balls.

Jian Chang recited the cross step and retreated, speaking plausibly, whispering: "Calm down, calm down, she must have a loophole."

The white meteor was about to fall, she took off in parallel, with her long arms outstretched, her eyes like torches, observing while defending.

No holes in the left half, no holes in the right, so there's only—

A smile appeared on the corner of the boy's lips. When she picked the ball, he rushed to the net quickly, and raised his hand to kill the ball in a straight line.

The speed of the ball was so fast that the opponent didn't even see where the ball landed, and the white feather fell to the ground.

The electronic scoreboard lights up.

11:9

Jian Changnian took the lead temporarily and came to the halftime break.

For the opposing Binhai Province team, this small point must be won, otherwise the big game will be let go.

Jian Changnian knew that the burden on her body was not light, so she kept taking deep breaths repeatedly before going on stage.

At this stage of the game, in addition to the technical test of the players and the game on the tactical level of the coach, what is more important is the psychological quality of the individual.

For this kind of thing, even Yan Xinyuan can only say that he tried his best to help her adjust, and it mainly depends on herself.

Xie Shi'an, who was sitting by the side, watched her trembling hand holding the racket. She thought for a while, stood up and walked over to hand someone a bottle of water.

The boy only said two words.

"With me."

Even if she loses this round, there will still be her doubles in the next round.

No matter what the time is, she always looks unhurried and indestructible.

Jian Changnian smiled, took the mineral water in her hand, unscrewed the bottle cap, took a big gulp, then wiped the corner of her lips, and said loudly.

"I'm leaving."

In the second half of the game, the two sides fought a tug-of-war again. With Jian Changnian's strong tenacity and unyielding spirit, the score has not widened too much.

The opponent also showed a strong personal ability, and kept fighting back and forth with her. It was not until she was leading by two points that she made a mistake. Jian Changnian took advantage of the situation and won the game at 19:21.

When the last ball landed, she put her hands on her knees and panted heavily, her back was soaked with sweat.

The person on the opposite side was not much better, and was helped down by his teammates.

Yan Xinyuan handed her a white towel.

"Here, wipe off your sweat, it's the last game, don't be nervous, play relaxed, fight her opposite corner, don't give anyone a chance to control your backcourt and win."

The head coach of the Zhejiang team is also giving final guidance to his players.

"Keep your own rhythm, keep a distance from others, don't let her take control, be steady, and don't serve the ball if you are not sure."

"have you understood?"

The two nodded at the same time.

"clear."

Yan Xinyuan took the towel from her hand and gave her a high five.

"Okay, let's go, come on!"
