MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 48 National competition (12)

On the second day, the entire Binhai Provincial team was engaged in intense training again, but even Jian Changnian could tell that Xie Shi'an was a little absent-minded and missed several **** served by his teammates.

After a game, Yan Xinyuan called people aside.

"What's the matter with you? Do you know that the singles competition will start the day after tomorrow. Although Yin Jiayi did not sign up for the singles this time, there are still many opponents that should not be underestimated. Jin Nanzhi of the Beijing team, Cheng Yizhou of the Hong Kong team, and the national team All the veterans in the team have many times more experience than you, so don't think that you are lucky enough to beat Yin Jiayi once, so you can be satisfied and don't need to train."

Xie Shi'an lowered his eyes.

"Understood, Coach Yan, I will adjust as soon as possible."

Since she didn't want to say anything, Yan Xinyuan didn't ask any further questions, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go, I'll see how you behave."

After a training match, Qiao Yuchu also noticed that she was not in a good state. To be precise, it started when she came back last night, but if she asked her directly, she would definitely not say anything.

Having known each other for so many years, no one knows Xie Shi'an better than her.

When people walked to the sidelines to rest, Qiao Yuchu handed her a bottle of water: "Are you tired or are you not acclimatized?"

Xie Shi'an shook his head, didn't pick it up, and picked up the badminton on the ground.

Qiao Yuchu knew that her depression was probably related to herself, but she didn't seem to be angry with her recently. The only thing that happened between the two of them that could be called a matter was her hand injury.

Qiao Yuchu thought she was still worried about herself.

"Don't worry, I have already called Dr. Jin, and I will go to the hospital in the afternoon. We can play together again after the surgery."

Hearing her say this, Xie Shi'an looked up at her.

Qiao Yuchu took a step forward and handed her the lollipop that had been prepared earlier.

"I brought it before I set off. I know you like it, but the competition is about to start. You must control your sugar. You can eat at most one a day. Don't eat too much."

In her palm lay the familiar wrapping paper.

The boy's indifferent mask was shattered bit by bit.

Her heart is also like the taste of this sugar, sour and astringent.

Xie Shi'an slowly stretched out his hand, took it over, and held it in his hand.

Qiao Yuchu touched her head.

"Although I don't know why you are angry, but the most important thing for you now is to prepare for the game, huh?"

"Don't worry me, and don't disappoint Coach Yan."

Now Xie Shi'an finally looked into her eyes and nodded seriously.

"I know, I will prepare well."

"Then I'm relieved, I can go to the hospital with peace of mind!"

Hearing that she was going to be hospitalized, Xie Shi'an's heart tightened again.

"Hospitalized, you..."

Qiao Yuchu was afraid that she might misunderstand, so she quickly explained.

"Although it is only a minimally invasive operation, there are still some necessary examinations to be done, and you need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days after the operation."

"Then when will you be back?"

"I'll definitely be back before the team competition next week."

Hearing this, Xie Shi'an finally felt a little relieved.

When Qiao Yu first saw her, she still had a straight face, and pinched her cheek with her hands.

"Hey, I'm going to the hospital, why don't you give me a smile?"

Xie Shi'an was full of reluctance, and took a few steps back to avoid her claws.

"When I start, I'm only a few years older. Where's my sister?"

"It's great to be one year older, isn't it?" Qiao Yuchu looked down at her watch, and saw that it was getting late, and it was time for her to go to the hospital, and Xie Shi'an had to continue training.

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself these few days. Beijing is working. Remember to drink plenty of water and sleep with a quilt at night so you don't catch a cold."

She babbled a lot, and finally said: "When I come back, can I see someone win the championship?"

The singles schedule is short, and there are basically several matches a day. After all the singles events are over, it will be the team finals.

A smile finally appeared on Xie Shi'an's face.

"Well, the championship trophy is your discharge gift."

＊＊＊

In the afternoon, Coach Liang accompanied her to go through the admission procedures. When she opened the door of the ward to take a look, she found that it was a single room, similar to an athlete's apartment, clean and bright, with all the home appliances.

Qiao Yuchu was startled: "This is..."

She thought it was an ordinary multi-person room in a hospital. Are the wards so luxurious in international hospitals?

The nurse covered her mouth and smiled.

"Our hospital basically has double rooms, but for the orthopedics department, there are more children. Dr. Jin specially arranged a single room for you because he was afraid that Ms. Qiao would not be used to it. He also knew that you are an athlete, so he also gave you the treadmill in the gym. Moved here, after all, it was quite boring during the hospitalization.”

The last sentence was the exact words of Jin Shunqi.

Qiao Yuchu felt a little grateful.

"Please trouble Dr. Jin."

The nurse smiled.

"Doctor Jin has scheduled operations this afternoon and tonight, so I probably won't be able to come to see you. After you pack up, I'll come over and take you for a preoperative examination in about an hour."

Qiao Yuchu put down her luggage.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

The nurse smiled and turned to leave.

Coach Liang hasn't left yet. He probably wants to stay and wait for her to finish the examination before leaving. This is also Yan Xinyuan's intention, fearing that it will be inconvenient for her to be alone.

Qiao Yuchu smiled.

"Coach Liang, you should go back first. Coach Yan is the only one in the team, and I'm afraid he won't be too busy. I can do it alone."

After all, it was an operation, and Coach Liang was also a little worried.

"But…"

"It's okay. I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself. Besides, there are nurses and nurses in the hospital. You see, the environment is so good, so I won't treat patients harshly."

Along the way, the service attitude of the International Hospital is nothing to say, Coach Liang sighed.

"Well, the organizing committee of this event stipulates that a team can only bring two coaches, and there are things about the men's team. It is really difficult to get away, but don't worry, if you have anything, a phone call , Lao Yan and I will definitely rush over here."

From the top to the bottom of the Coastal Province team, whether it is teammates or coaches, they give her a kind of family-like warmth.

Qiao Yuchu laughed: "Okay, I will try to heal my injury and return to the team as soon as possible. Coach Liang, go slowly."

＊＊＊

When they were nervously preparing for the single event, Yin Jiayi disappeared from the Zhejiang team's roster.

As soon as she landed in Hangzhou on her front foot, she received a call from Jin Nanzhi on her back foot, and the other party's tone was urgent and fast.

"Why didn't you tell me that you didn't even sign up for the singles?! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity?!"

Yin Jiayi answered while pushing the luggage, her tone was calm.

"I want to prepare for the World Championships in the spring of next year, and I don't want to waste time on such small games."

"what?"

The... person on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard some shocking joke, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"A competition with world-class champions is actually called a small competition by you. Do you know how many people flock to it?"

"Yin Jiayi, aren't you afraid of being beaten by an unknown soldier?"

As soon as Jin Nanzhi said this, the other end of the phone was silent for a second or two.

Yin Jiayi took a deep breath, as if suppressing her anger.

"If you're calling to tell me that, I don't think we have much to talk about."

"Then what do you think I came all the way from South Korea to China? Is it because I want to fight you..."

Before the voice finished, a beep sounded from the receiver.

Jin Nanzhi was so angry that he dropped his phone, and his mother tongue came out.

"Axi, I'm going to meet this Xie Shi'an for a while, what kind of ability is there to beat you like this."

＊＊＊

the next day.

Xie Shi'an got up a little late because of the extra training last night until late at night, and when he arrived at the training room, there was already a fight inside.

The girl had striking purple long hair, tied it into a high ponytail, wore a headband of the same color, chewed gum, and stood on the opposite side of the net with a racket in her mouth, followed by a group of men and women.

"Is this the Binhai team that defeated the Jiangsu team and the Zhejiang team and qualified first in the Eastern Conference? I thought how strong it was, but that's all there is to it. There is no one who can play."

Jian Changnian lost to the opponent 0:2, was beaten helplessly, fell to the ground, and dropped the racket.

The tall boy behind the purple-haired girl sneered.

"No. 1 in the East, isn't it just relying on Tian Ji's horse racing tactics and foul playoffs to qualify?"

"You..." The boy gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot.

The Binhai provincial team also surrounded them with anger on their faces, but they really didn't gain any advantage in the fight with them just now. Facing the opponent's provocation for a while, no one dared to step forward to fight.

Xie Shi'an pushed aside the crowd, reached out to Jian Changnian, and pulled him up from the ground.

Seeing that it was her, Jian Changnian showed a trace of shame on his face.

"Shi'an, I'm sorry, I'm not as skilled as others. Their Beijing team is unreasonable. They came to our training room and insisted on playing some pre-match warm-ups with us. If I refused to fight, they called us cowards."

Other teammates also said one after another.

"Shi'an, you're here."

"They are too deceitful, Shi'an, you have to teach them a lesson."

"You are Xie Shi'an?" The purple-haired girl stepped forward upon hearing this. The two were about the same height. When their eyes met, she stretched out her hand provocatively.

"Beijing team, Jin Nanzhi, how are you doing? Do you dare to play with me?"

Xie Shi'an took a step back, ignored her handshake, and pointed at the door with his racket.

"Oh, I see, please go back."

Her indifferent appearance made Jin Nanzhi feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

"Aren't you crazy for defeating Yin Jiayi? Why, I'm not a national player, and I don't even have the courage to touch me? Don't worry, it's okay to lose, and we won't say it if there is no live broadcast. I won’t lose face as a new badminton star of yours.”

There was a stick in her words, but Xie Shi'an was no longer the boy who was about to fight someone because of Qin Yang's words.

During these days, she has grown rapidly, and she also knows that there are more important things than the battle of emotions.

The young man raised his eyes coldly, arrogant and arrogant.

...

"I've played Yin Jiayi before, and where are you from nobody? If you want to play, I'll see you on the court. The warm-up match will only waste my time. We have to train, please."

"You—" Jin Nanzhi stepped forward and stared at her.

The two confronted each other and refused to give in to each other.

The teammate behind her gave her a hand and whispered.

"The coach said it's okay to explore the facts, but no fights are allowed."

Jin Nanzhi gave up and shook off his teammates' hands.

"Okay, see you on the field, I will make you regret what you said today, let's go."

Xie Shi'an turned to look at them after the group finished showing off and left the training room in a mighty manner.

"Are you all right?"

"No, I just lost badly."

Jian Changnian also shook her head.

"I fell down, but it's not a big problem."

During lunch, Yan Xinyuan also found out about it.

"Without the coach's instruction, do they dare to come over and provoke like this? Most of them are here to test our depth."

Jian Changnian poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.

"But we all lost, the warm-up match was played like this, how will we play when we officially play?"

"Some people play well in training games, but it doesn't mean they can perform well on the court. It's just a warm-up match, which doesn't explain any problems. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if they lose. Too transparent is not a good thing.”

It was just a face-to-face meeting in the morning, but Xie Shi'an remembered a detail, Jin Nanzhi was holding the racket in his left hand.

"You said she was left-handed?"

Jian Changnian nodded.

"Yeah, it's a left-handed ball, so I was a little confused when we played against each other. Her ball is elusive, and it's hard to find where it lands."

"The backhand position you serve with your left hand is the forehand area on the opposite side. It takes a little time to get used to reverse thinking." Yan Xinyuan said.

Xie Shi'an put down his chopsticks, and the two looked at him eagerly.

"Then is there any way to solve this problem?"

Yan Xinyuan stretched out his chopsticks, and each of them picked up a chicken leg for them.

"Eat first, it's difficult in a short period of time. Now Shi'an should be the key research object of the Beijing team. I will also find her video tapes for research. I just hope that in the singles draw, you don't meet her prematurely. "

In the team competition, tactics can be used to avoid it, but there is really nothing to do in singles. Fortunately, in the draw, Xie Shi'an and Jin Nanzhi were in different halves, but unfortunately, Jian Changnian was in the same group as her.

Looking at the grouping results in his hands, Jian Changnian felt like crying, and didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

This was her first time participating in a singles event in a national competition, and what kind of monsters did she meet.

Xie Shi'an walked past her with the note.

"Why, are you afraid?"

Jian Changnian followed with a racket and snorted.

"Who is afraid, I will defeat you openly and squarely."

"Cut, just don't cry when you lose."

"Who is crying, who is crying!!"

Jian Changnian jumped to catch up, the setting sun dragged their backs very long.

＊＊＊

Being in the same group means that sooner or later there will be a battle, and the two finally met in the 8-to-4 match.

Whoever wins this game will be the top four.

The tsunami roared from the audience, which also ignited her... 40; passionate, Jian Changnian held the racket, eager to try.

"It seems that we haven't played against each other officially. The training camp does not count. To be honest, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Xie Shi'an nodded disapprovingly.

"You lost in the training camp, and the result will be the same now."

Jian Chang thought about what she said the first time they played together in the park.

"If you win the fight, you still have to fight. If you don't win, you still have to fight. After thinking about it so much, I simply abstained."

The corners of Xie Shi'an's lips raised slightly.

"Let's get started, a quick fight."

The commentator's face also appeared on the big screen, and he spoke passionately.

"Today's 8-to-4 game can be said to be a civil war for the Binhai Provincial team. We all know that in the previous finals of the Eastern Division, Xie Shi'an defeated Yin Jiayi 2:1, which can be said to be the number one in the team. A seeded player, a rookie in badminton."

"And Jian Changnian is also a rookie player. He has performed well in the previous games, especially in the last 16-to-8 game, and even knocked out the Hong Kong team's seed player 2-0. Cheng Yizhou advances to the quarterfinals."

"When these two people collide, what kind of sparks will be created, let us wait and see!"
