Small goals, first to be the world's first [Competition]

On January [-]th, Su Yuan finished all his elective exams, packed his luggage non-stop, and boarded the flight to N province.

Although the Lunar New Year has not yet passed, it is already a new year in the Gregorian calendar. For the table tennis national team, this year is extremely important.

April is the World Table Tennis Championships, and August is the quadrennial sports event - the Olympic Games.

There is no time for the national team to delay and hesitate.

After Wu Qingbai's incident, the domestic table tennis world has also undergone tremendous changes. The coaching staff of the national team has been almost completely reorganized, and all athletes involved in the black game have also been disqualified.

In order to reserve talents for the national team and to prepare for the 2024 Olympic cycle, in December, the national team launched a national team qualification competition across the country.

Then, boldly, these players who had just been recruited into the national team were also written into the winter training list.

New venue, new team, this winter training is a bold attempt and challenge for Guoping, but everyone has a firm belief in their hearts.

Guoping has been in decline for so many years, it is time, it is time to rise again, this time, they will be able to succeed.

During this period, Su Yuan was basically recovering from his injuries and preparing for the exam, and he didn't know much about Guoping's big moves. It wasn't until he got off the plane that he was startled by the people who came to greet him.

Du Yi, Tang Yingjie, Hou Wenyuan and Xu Lixin waved to him excitedly. Zhong Yu stepped forward and took the suitcase in his hand naturally. Fade Chen and Su Haizhong stood behind them with their hands in their pockets looked at them with a smile.

Friends and relatives whom he hadn't seen for a long time actually gathered together, Su Yuan blinked in surprise, stepped forward quickly, and plunged into the crowd.

"Long time no see! Are you all here to participate in the training camp? Great, we will be teammates in the future." Su Yuan said excitedly.

Du Yi and the others looked at each other, stretched out their hands, and said with a smile, "You can still be an opponent."

Hey, you have a lot of fighting spirit, so you can't lose your momentum.

"Sounds good, I'll wait." Su Yuan shook their hands and replied.

Because of the large number of people, when a group of people returned, they took the bus directly.

Su Yuan scratched his face in embarrassment, and quietly whispered to Zhong Yu who was sitting next to him: "Would this be a little motivating?"

"Don't worry, you're not the only one who just arrived today." Zhong Yu motioned him to look at the back of the bus, where there were several suitcases.

Du Yi and the others also arrived today, but they arrived a little earlier than Su Yuan, and they waited for him to come together.

"That's good." Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, didn't stop for two seconds, and couldn't help asking quietly: "What about Brother Feifei, why is he here? Could it be...to be the coach?!"

Zhong Yu nodded, affirming Su Yuan's guess, but his eyes looked a little resentful.

Su Yuan finished asking the question he wanted to ask, and was about to rest on the back of the chair when Zhong Yu's hand gently took him, so he naturally leaned on his shoulder.

After a while, Su Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Yu from the bottom up: "Shanyu, did you want to say something just now?"

He kind of cares.

Zhong Yu paused for a moment, then said softly, "Yuan Bao, do you have anything to say when you see me?"

Su Yuan always felt that Zhong Yu's expression was a little tearful when he said this, but he took a closer look, but his eyes looked at the grievance and resentment, and he frowned slightly, which was not as serious as he imagined.

Su Yuan felt a little strange why he would make up his mind like this.

He leaned in front of Zhong Yu, got very close, and answered in obedience to his own heart: "Because I know I will definitely meet you, so it doesn't feel like we've been apart for a long time?"

The two of them were very busy in the past two months, and they didn't even meet a few times in the underworld. Su Yuan's words were his thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

"I will not be sad because of our separation, but I will always look forward to our reunion. Every reunion is a surprise, and today is the same."

After saying these words, Zhong Yu directly surrendered.

He directly covered Su Yuan's eyes with his hand, looked away in a panic, and gently pressed Su Yuan on his shoulder: "Rest, I'll call you when we arrive."

Su Yuan bent his lips, closed his eyes, and rested.

The slender eyelashes brushed Zhong Yu's palm, and he lowered his eyes, trembling, and closed his eyes to rest.

This time, the winter training location is set in N Province, which is the southernmost province in China. Even in winter, the climate is pleasant and suitable for training in summer events. Therefore, many sports will bring people here to train for a month every winter. Province N has established a large-scale training base, which is not only well-equipped, but also basically the top batch in the country.

It is about an hour's drive from the airport to the training base.

When their car arrived at the base, all the team members arrived.

After dinner, at 2024:[-] p.m., the new national table tennis head coach Xu Yuanwei convened a collective meeting with all the staff to summarize the past and look forward to the future. After the polite words were quickly finished, they talked about the new year, which is the [-] Olympic Games cycle planning.

The planning is very detailed, and the team members have been clarified of the most important international competitions in the new year and the selection methods of the participants. Everything is fair and just. Of course, the training intensity sounds not small, but no one raised any objections. Everyone knows that Guoping has no time to delay.

Everyone is trying to move forward, and no one will wait for them to stay where they are. They carry the courage and pride of a great country on their shoulders. They also want to watch the national anthem of China resound on the podium of the international arena. Raise that red flag again.

They will not repeat the mistakes of the previous national team, and will not put the burden on one person until they are crushed. Only by trying to arm themselves with technology and make themselves stronger can they truly revive a country.

All the team members sitting here have a vigorous vigor of breaking the boat, and they always firmly believe in it.

In the new year, their table tennis national team will surely be reborn from the ashes.

Xu Yuanwei, who was speaking on the stage, looked at the team members sitting below with bright eyes and firm expressions, gently curled the corners of his lips, clapped his hands, and announced the dissolution.

"Gather at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late."

"Yes!!" Everyone answered in unison.

This was also the last gentle smile from their head coach that the players saw before the end of the training camp.

After the training camp started, they really experienced what a devil coach is.

Head coach Xu Yuanwei has a gentle and harmless face, but he uses iron and blood methods. Zhong Yu, who has been under him for several months, has already experienced this, and this time, all the national team players have experienced it .

If you are caught lazy by the head coach, then wait for his "special attention".

In order for the players to better withstand more training without causing physical problems, the coaching team also racked their brains.

The coaching team attaches great importance to the players' physical condition and injuries. Within a week after the training camp started, the professional medical team and physical coaching team also arrived at the N provincial training base, taking charge of the physical training and training of the national table tennis players. Injury Control and Recovery.

Su Yuan was surprised when he saw his mother in the medical team at first, and finally figured out what his father said about the transfer when he was eating at home, but then he didn't have time to go Think about it.

Professional athletes, after so many years of training, rarely have some occupational diseases on their bodies. Every time they go to the medical room for a massage after training, the medical room is filled with the sound of macho wailing all the time.

Once the media applied for an interview opportunity to enter the base for a shooting opportunity. Everyone in the training hall was very serious, practicing steps, practicing multi-ball, one pot after another, and the ground was full of table tennis balls, looking extremely professional.

The reporter was amazed and interviewed several people. Then he walked to the side of the medical room, and his painting style changed suddenly.

"Hey, hiss... it hurts, brother, please be gentle..."

"You are too hard, did you get lazy again when stretching?"

"Aw! Pain pain pain—"

The reporter looked at the staff leading him, his expression became a little weird.

The staff instantly knew that he was thinking wrongly, twitched the corners of his mouth, and quickly explained.

"This is the medical room. At different times of the day, athletes will come here for regular massages according to the schedule... Don't think wrong."

"Cough cough, good." The reporter coughed, brushed the topic aside, and saw: "I didn't seem to see Su Yuan all the way here? Where is he training?"

The staff is thoughtful and the staff has an immediate epiphany.

Every time someone came, they would inevitably return to Su Yuan in the end.

The staff spoke with ease: "Su Yuan is practicing mixed doubles and men's doubles on the other side. I'll take you there."

"Mixed doubles?" The reporter's eyes lit up instantly. It was not the first time for the national team to be interviewed by reporters, but there was no news of Su Yuan training mixed doubles in the past few times, so it seems that he is the first-hand information.

The staff nodded and led the man over.

Several people came to a training room.

"The new equipment just arrived today, and it's a coincidence that you guys came here."

Hearing the words of the staff, the reporter became even more curious.

After the staff finished speaking, they knocked on the door and pushed it in.

The reporters followed in and were shocked by the scene inside.

They never thought that table tennis would look so technological.

Su Yuan and a young-looking girl stood on one side of the table, and on the other side was a ball machine, which looked different from the ball machines on the market. There was a high-definition display on the wall next to it, showing some The reporter was still standing by the table to record things that the reporter didn't quite understand.

This ball machine equipment was developed by Su Yuan before he went to B University and the team of Professor Lu Wusi he met on the forum. Su Yuan also contributed a lot, but Lu Wusi contacted him and said that he wanted to include his name in the research and development When they were in the team, Su Yuan refused. Lu Wusi persuaded him several times, but finally respected Su Yuan's idea.

And a new batch of equipment was also manufactured overtime, and a batch was sent to the training base in N province first, which is what the reporter saw now.

Su Yuan and the girls around him were still dealing with a set of servings from the serving machine that could not be stopped for the time being, so the staff introduced these new devices to the reporter softly.

After the introduction, Su Yuan and the girl beside him just finished a group of training and walked towards them.

Facing the reporter's interview, Su Yuan was not very proficient at the beginning, but now he has become very familiar with the road.

Su Yuan walked up to the reporter's camera, smiled and was about to say hello. The reporter looked behind him, rubbed his hands, and asked cautiously, "I heard that you are practicing mixed doubles? Can your partner play together?"

Su Yuan was stunned, and looked back, the girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded to him timidly, Su Yuan turned around and replied: "Yes, but we are still training, 10 minutes."

Su Yuan, who is familiar with interviews, also unknowingly learned to control the rhythm in his own hands when facing reporters.

The reporter didn't notice anything wrong, nodded in surprise, led the two of them to a relatively empty corner, and started the interview.

The author has something to say:

Today's figure skating... I'm a little sad to watch, but they are really great. Whether it's Tiantian or Ha Niu, they know that they can't do it, and they challenge the limit. This is the charm of competitive sports. QAQ I will always be there The boy chasing his dream burst into tears
