just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 189 When the City Games is in progress ([-])

Su Province, thousands of miles away.

In an apartment with traces of recent renovations, in the spacious living room, the LCD TV hanging on the wall is turned on, and the camera in the picture moves as Zhao Lin walks...

"Zhao Lin won the first place in this group with an absolute advantage. It's very easy. This is the strength of the world champion. Let's take a look at his final results in this group..."

The sound of the TV was turned on very loudly, and Yang Jian, the commentator, echoed every line in the living room with a passionate tone, and the sound spread into the ears of the people sitting on the sofa.

"Oh~ 10 seconds!"

The screen on the TV also switched to the timing board in front of the finish line.

"The score is 10 seconds, the wind speed is 0.4 meters against the wind, and we can see that this is only the preliminaries after all, and Zhao Lin has not run his best condition yet..."

The audience cheered and applauded like a thunderous wave, and it was actually transmitted through the TV.

In the picture, the young man who has gradually faded away is waving his hands to greet the camera and the surroundings...

"My grandson, this is promising! This is really promising. He has grown up and grown up, but he is a little dark..." An old man sitting on the sofa stiffly murmured with trembling lips. He chanted, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.He is Zhao Lin's grandfather. He has been in his hometown and has not seen his grandson for more than half a year. At this time, he finally saw it on TV!

"Dad, of course it's promising. You didn't see brother and sister-in-law coming back. How many leaders have come from our province and county? And those big bosses are here for us Xiaolin, and this How much is the house? It's like picking it up for nothing..."

Sitting next to Zhao Lin's grandfather was a handsome middle-aged woman in her 30s, Zhao Lin's sister-in-law, who was also holding the old father's hand at this time and said excitedly: "Dad, brother, sister-in-law, why are you still crying?" Now, I should be happy. Xiao Lin didn’t pass the university entrance exam, and now he’s not doing well. Why can’t our old Zhao family produce people? Brother, if it weren’t for... If you say that my sister-in-law would have let Xiao Lin do sports, our little boy If you don't have that talent, if you have Kobayashi's physique..."

The teenage boy who was scolded by his mother just now didn't look ashamed at all. He sat on the sofa without stopping for a moment. He grabbed the old man's arm and shouted: "Grandpa, brother is so awesome, you run too fast!" Soon!"

"Yeah, I ran so fast that I didn't even see clearly..." the old man smiled and patted his grandson's head, and said softly.

"Of course it's fast. Didn't you hear that host boasted from beginning to end? Xiao Lin beat foreigners and took the first place..." Aunt Zhao Lin was still excited with pride: "Brother, sister-in-law, I want to talk about you If you don’t work in Yanjing, why do you still do business when you come back? Follow Xiaolin and help him take the helm, he is now a sports star, young, earning money, and having face, don’t let him imitate..."

"Okay, what are you talking about, what can Xiaolin learn to be bad..." The old man is not happy, he has only one son and one daughter, and when it comes to grandchildren, there will be only one grandson and one grandson, he can't let others say.

"Dad, you don't know..."

While she was waiting to speak, Zhao Lin's father finally recovered and spoke.

"Little sister, Xiao Lin has been training with his coach, except sometimes to shoot advertisements and accept interviews. He doesn't go out at other times, and with his coach in charge, nothing will happen. Xiao Lin is very honest with his coach, Their coach can control him!"

"Little sister, don't you know how close that kid is to his coach. He has never been so close to your brother or me. He has only gone home a few times since he started doing this sport. Every time he comes back, he will talk to him." He always says what our coaches say, what our coaches say, and I tell you..."

She kept staring at the TV until the video of her son's game was over, and Zhao's mother regained her energy. When she heard about her son and the coach, she pulled her sister-in-law and began to "rebuke" her son.That expression contained not only the mother's pride, but also the mother's "sorrow and indignation" that her son seemed to be snatched away.

Zhao's father looked at his wife and his younger sister who were discussing all kinds of things there, and smiled hehe.In fact, there are only a few back and forth, and there is not much to say, but my wife still talks about it with great interest.

Is the son kissing the coach?Dear, and it is the kind of dear and respectful relative from the bottom of my heart.should it?When I think of the scene on the sidelines of the training field, my son's disappointment and surprise, and the achievements I have until now, everything should be!

"Brother, the coach you're talking about is the one who accepted Zhao Lin in the training ground? I heard he was very young?!" He seemed to be thinking about the middle-aged man who had been silent for a while, and asked a question at this time.

Sitting on the sofa in the spacious living room was Zhao Lin's family. Zhao Lin's grandfather, parents, sister-in-law and uncle, and his ten-year-old cousin were all the closest family members.From the time when Zhao Lin started to practice sports until now, it was also the first time they got together to watch Zhao Lin run a race on TV.The person who spoke at this time was Zhao Lin's uncle, a man in his 40s who looked upright and serious.

"Yes, that's the one. He's really young, but he's really capable!" Father Zhao nodded seriously. Speaking of this coach, he unconsciously showed some respect: " You have never been engaged in sports, so you may not understand. Our Huaxia Sports seems to be very strong, and the Olympic gold medal table is always in the top three. But the track and field event that people value most in the Olympics, we can't do it!
If our country can win a world championship in track and field, that is a matter of breaking through the sky.Do you still remember the Ma Jiajun who was always shown on TV a few years ago?That is track and field events, middle and long-distance running, and won several world championships.

The 100 meters that Xiaolin is running now is a sprint, which is considered the most important event in track and field events, and none of us yellow-skinned people have run it before.That's why Xiaolin ran this score, and the province and county would value it so much.I understand what they are thinking, it is nothing more than asking Xiao Lin to give Lala an image or to add something to them.

When it comes to the high level, the person who is the leader is the one who is favored, why is Ma Jiajun called Ma Jiajun, because his coach's surname is Ma, and he is the leader..."

"At the beginning, Xiaolin said that he wanted to do sports. I used my relationship to find people everywhere, but Xiaolin was indeed old enough to do sports, and no one wanted to take it. In the end, I took Xiaolin directly to the training ground of the Yanjing National Team. There There was a brother from my former team who was the coach, but it was the same, confiscated. On that day, the coach Lin let Xiao Lin run once and then took him.

At that time, I saw that the person was young, and the acceptance seemed a little too hasty, so I didn't have much confidence in my heart.Because no one really wants it, and now that the coach of the national team is willing to accept it, what else can I think about.No matter what kind of running it can be, after all, it is a child's dream come true.Who would have thought that it could run like this now.

Coach Lin also has another athlete who ran the first place in the 200-meter race when Kobayashi won the world championship. He was also the world champion, and he seemed to have won the Asian championship himself.The meaning of this, brother-in-law, do you understand?This coach Lin has just turned 24 years old..."

Zhao Lin's uncle nodded. Although he is not engaged in sports, nor is he a high-level student, how could he not understand the meaning of this as an executive.As long as this coach Lin does not make political mistakes, he will have a promising future!

"Then this coach Lin is really extraordinary. Dezhu, Xiao Lin is now following him. Our family can have such a big change. In the final analysis, he was drawn by him. No matter how many people support Xiao Lin outside, we don't care. It's messed up, our Zhao family can't lose our gratitude..."

Hearing the old father's solemn confession, Father Zhao nodded seriously.Has it changed much?Of course big!In less than a year, his son's various bonus income is more than what he earned in the past few decades. Let alone, people from Su province, Nanhu, city and county, leaders and company bosses have all come to express their condolences. back.

After coming back from Yanjing, I am going to do something in my hometown that I have always wanted to do, and the green light is given all the way in the city and county.Buying a house is half sold and half given away, and the half sold does not need to be given cash.Even my younger sister and brother-in-law got a little bit of credit.

All these changes are just a chance meeting and a firm determination.The lesson from the past is there. The kid who used to follow Coach Lin with his son, flew away after several national championships. The current situation is not bad, but it is so different from then.What's more, such a coach who is only 24 years old and already full of honors is worth getting close to in every way.

"Brother, if you want to say this, let's get closer, maybe we should do something..."

What to do?Father Zhao listened and nodded thoughtfully!
……

"He Jun, it's time to rest!"

In the gymnasium of the hotel where the Yucheng delegation stayed, Coach Li shook his head when he saw the back of a young man holding a barbell as soon as he walked in.

After squatting and lifting several times, He Juncai stopped and slowly put the barbell back to its original position.Turning around, he moved his limbs a little panting and walked towards Coach Li, "Coach, I haven't rested yet, so it's almost 10 o'clock?"

"You still know it's 10 o'clock?! Just finished the race a few hours ago, and there is a race tomorrow. You should relax. If I don't come over, how long do you plan to practice? Can I rest?"

"I didn't plan for a long time, and I was planning to rest!" He Jun shook his head, smiled embarrassedly, and explained, "Today I just ran a preliminaries, and I didn't exert much effort, so I'm not tired."

"What? Envious? Or a little bit shocked?"

Coach Li is very straightforward. He Jun followed him when he first entered the sports school in his teens.Because of He Jun's performance and potential, after he was selected for the national team, he also followed him as a coach.He knew He Jun too well, and with the relationship between He Jun and him, he didn't need to hide half a sentence.

The coach's words caused the expression on He Jun's face to fade instantly, and he fell silent.

Coach Li looked at He Jun who was silent in front of him, and seemed to see a few years ago in a trance. At that time, he had just brought He Jun. The first impression he had of a 13-year-old boy was that he was sensitive and stubborn. It hasn't changed either.

Gently patted He Jun on the shoulder, grown up!The boy who was barely 1 meters when he was just taking him is now an Angzang youth.

"Sit down and have a rest? Let's chat, master and apprentice, haven't we talked for some time?"

Sitting down on the spot beside the coach, He Jun raised his legs and hugged his knees with both hands, exhaling slowly.

"Master, I'm not envious. Honors come from grades. I just..." He Jun's voice was soft, with a bit of unwillingness and stubbornness, and he said slowly, "Actually, I know that I basically won the [-]-meter race." No, if the city says that they might be able to fight if their performance is unstable, they may not even believe it themselves. I just think, how could all this happen so quickly...

In just half a year, from ordinary people to world champions and Asian champions, the results have gone from 12 seconds to less than 10 seconds.And I... Master, do you think my talent is really so much worse? "

"Talent is much worse? No!" Coach Li shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "Their progress is indeed very fast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle. But it is hard to say how good the talent really is. of!"

"That……"

"Maybe it's still my responsibility?!" Coach Li looked a little lonely.He is still young, he has just passed 40 years old, and he was only in his 30s when he took He Jun with him. He was afraid that his level would not be good enough, so he studied hard to enrich himself, and the process of taking He Jun was also his process of improvement.Those years were the time when he felt the most progress in himself.

Similarly, his hard work has also paid off. He Jun won the provincial championship, qualified to represent China in the World Junior Championships, won the national youth track and field championship, and entered the national team. It is expected that he will be the leader of the national team's sprint event in the future. One of the core...

But after more than a year, he felt that the urgency of always wanting to improve himself and bring breakthroughs to athletes has faded away.He Jun hasn't made much progress in more than a year, so how can he improve?It is much more difficult to break through one step higher than to maintain a stable level!What's more, there are many suggestions from the competent authorities in the city.

Coach Li could understand He Jun's mood very well, why didn't he.In the original domestic competitions, they competed with Chen Jianhai, Yang Zuyao, and Shen Bao. Occasionally, they could win and lose each other, and they were firmly in the top 5 or even top 4 in China.But since the first half of this year, all competitions have been suppressed, even Chen Jianhai and Shen Bao.

As for him, from the original top coach, a young talent praised by many people, to the current situation where he is not embarrassed or embarrassed.Even when he returned to Yucheng, he felt a little less courteous than before.

More importantly, in a World Championships, he failed to meet the standards in individual events and lost the qualification for connection. Now He Jun's situation in the national team has become very tense.The individual events are not competitive, and the relay is only the sixth or even the seventh person on the bench.

He knew that He Jun had always wanted to use his own strength to participate in international competitions, even the Olympics, but now, this hope seemed to be getting slimmer.Should it be said that athletes are not as talented as others, or should they be said that athletes do not work hard?Even if you want to come to the gym to lift weights after the competition with He Jun, you can't find any excuses.

"He Jun! We need to make some changes!" Coach Li calmed down and said firmly: "Perhaps, I should be the one who should work hard for the changes first!"

He never worried about He Jun's training attitude, and never procrastinated the assigned tasks, and sometimes even needed him to stop.Maybe the one who really wants to change is himself!
"Okay! Let's rest!" Gently patted He Jun on the back, and said seriously: "Tomorrow, we will run the [-] meters with all our strength. Regardless of the ranking, it is not for honor, but to run out of our previous beliefs. Shen Huan and Zhao Lin is not old, and you are just as young!
There is also the next 200 meters. Although there are no strong players in your age group, the same is true, regardless of ranking or honor.We can't break through ourselves at present, we also need to cheer for ourselves! "

"Master, I will win the 200-meter gold medal..." He Jun said firmly.Without Yang Zuyao, without Yin Hanzhao, whether it is for the present or the future, for himself or for the coach and the Yucheng team, he must fight.

What he needs is not only the honor of a youth champion, but also some affirmation for himself.Let the energy in his heart, the enthusiasm for moving towards a higher arena, not be completely dissipated!

……

As night falls, after the hustle and bustle of the day, the entire Tanzhou slowly moves toward tranquility.

After the one-day competition of the City Games, at this time, most of the young athletes from all over the country have already rested.

However, what is silent is the human being, and what is beating is the heart. In every corner, there are restlessness, quietness, passion and forge ahead, as well as falling and sinking in each heart!
Tomorrow will still come, and countless people may be waiting, waiting for them to use their hands to achieve their dreams, and use hard work and hard work to go out of their own way!
