Chapter 168 World Champion's Ex-Girlfriend (19)

  This is why Coach Cheng tried to persuade him earnestly—the game is not just for one game, but for several games! Not only to fight for personal honor, but also to take into account the overall situation.

  If you don’t get the first place in the 500-meter trials, it doesn’t matter. There are still 1,000 meters and 1,500 meters to come.

   What ultimately depends on the total duration of the three individual matches, and then depends on the cooperation between the teams.

  Winning the team relay can get 20 more points than losing, which is not a small percentage.

   If you patronize to fight for the first place in a single game, you will end up with a foul or an injury, and you will be damaged, and the team relay will also be affected. Few coaches like such players.

   Look, the first few rounds were only for individual competitions, and there were differences of opinion among the coaches of the selection team. There was a team relay in the last round, and Cheng Guodong's heart was hanging on his shoulders all the time, wishing he could attach himself to that kid and compete for him.

   I don’t know if he had a heart-to-heart talk with his girlfriend? Are you enlightened?

   Don't rush again.

   It's far from the time to desperately, silly boy!

  Cheng Guodong didn't feel so worried about his own son.

  …

   I don't know if she felt Xu Yin's gaze, but Zhao Xujin looked in the direction where she was sitting when she entered the arena to warm up.

  Xu Yin put her hands on her head, and made a heart gesture to him.

  He seemed to stagger, and looked away.

  Xu Yin almost laughed out loud, this awkward guy!

  The referee held the loudspeaker and signaled them to stand on their respective lanes.

  The game is about to start.

   It was the first time for Xu Yin to watch short track speed skating live. When he made the preparation posture, he also raised his heart.

  The starting gun sounded, and the eight people scrambled out.

  Because of the race times, Zhao Xujin only grabbed the second place, although the starting speed was not slow. The first two players in the first team are not weak.

Cheng Guodong subconsciously looked at the coaches of the selection team who held the power of life and death. Seeing them seemed a little surprised, and exchanged a few words with each other. He vaguely heard the words "the change is not small", his heart moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the field .

  Yo, this kid is biting his first teammate and sprinting.

   This shows that he has listened to it, and has not rushed forward in the first round, and will not give up until he gets the first place.

  He knows how to observe, knows restraint, and knows how to store energy for the follow-up game.

   He is clearly capable of sprinting, enough for the coaches to see his potential and strength.

Not bad! It seems that the girlfriend's enlightenment has worked.

   After thinking about it, I feel a little sad again: I think that after so many days of trying to persuade this kid, it is not as effective as his girlfriend's few words.

  The same was true for the next 1,000 meters, and Zhao Xujin crossed the line close to the first place.

   At 1500 meters, due to the strength accumulated in the first two races, he skated very easily and won the first place smoothly. And he didn't try to overtake by force at the beginning, but instead attacked at the right time. The overtake was very beautiful, and there were no dangerous moves.

   After three individual competitions, he won one first place and two second places.

  It was the crucial final game—the team relay. On the last lap, Zhao Xujin overtook the three from outside and took the first teammate to cross the finish line, which amazed several coaches of the national team:

   "Such a big change in just one noon? Didn't he not listen to what anyone said? Who persuaded him? Or did he do it on purpose before?"

   "I heard that it was his girlfriend who came. The two had a quarrel before, but now they are probably reconciled."

   "..."

   Several coaches looked at each other. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

   Should be a good thing, right? At least someone can hold him down.

   But if the two of them quarrel again in the future, wouldn't there be no one to stop him?

"I said, this is mediocrity, right?" Coach Lu, who has always been optimistic about Zhao Xujin, said with a relaxed smile, "Could it be that there are hidden risks, and many things can't be done? You objected before because he did have a few He was very reckless and radical, but now they have changed it, and he understands the reason. Emotions are something that everyone will have. Don’t you and I lead the team with emotions? As long as it doesn’t affect the overall situation, it’s not a problem. "

  Finally, four out of five votes passed, and Zhao Xujin got the ticket for next season's World Cup.

  Guo Yongda, the only one who voted against, looked ugly.

He really wanted to push his nephew to the World Cup, but it was a pity that he was eliminated in the round in the morning. He wanted to fight for it again. After all, his nephew's grades were stable, and he went to the cup to practice and experience. Maybe he will break through. The World Championships and the Olympic Games in the next year.

  But these guys wanted to oppose him, insisting on pushing Zhao Xujin up, saying that he was young and energetic, eighteen years old, which was the beginning of the golden age.

   Phew! He would like to see how many medals he can come back from the World Cup.

  The other coaches glanced at each other, knowing each other's thoughts about Guo Yongda.

   But don't even look at how poor his nephew Han Cheng's grades are.

  A few years ago, I thought the short track was dangerous and went to the avenue, but I couldn’t get any results there, so I switched back to the short track.

  If it weren't for the uncle Guo Yongda, based on Han Cheng's performance, how could it be so easy to come back when he wants to, and directly enter the first team when he comes back? No, entering is also the bottom.

   At the bottom of the first team, it is because there is no one worse than him in the first team.

   But one of the nephew and uncle has the support of his uncle and lacks hard work, and the other wants to push his nephew up if he has the opportunity. He feels that the nephew is not lacking in strength, but lacks the opportunity to compete.

  This trial is also the same. If they hadn’t insisted on being eliminated at the bottom after several discussions, Guo Yongda would definitely keep his nephew to the end, and then talk about this and that. It’s best to give his nephew a spot and everyone will be happy.

  But if you do this, you will lose the face of the country.

  Everyone was silent, and Guo Yongda remained sullen and stopped talking.

  Five places are determined by the top five on the standings.

   These five people are actually within everyone's expectations.

  Although Zhao Xujin has been serving as a backup for the second team, the performance improvement in the past two years is still very conspicuous, and the coaching team has high expectations for him.

  If it wasn’t because of his bad state this time, and after inquiring about his training situation, he hesitated whether to choose him for this World Cup. Originally, there was no doubt about it.

  The other four are veterans of the first team. They have either won the World Championships or won medals in the last Olympic Games. They have rich experience in competitions.

   Such a combination of old and new is very good.

   Only Guo Yongda was not reconciled, thinking that his nephew should be one of the five places. Tsk, I don't know where his confidence comes from.

  Zhao Xujin's teammates took turns hugging and congratulating him.

  Although everyone has disappointments and regrets, there are more than one round of trials, and the round you go to depends on your strength.

  Besides that Zhao Xujin looked a little immature when he first came, but now he is a crushing existence in the team. Losing to him is convincing, so there is nothing to say.

  Seeing this scene, Xu Yin felt a little relieved, probably stable.

   Immediately, seeing Coach Cheng gesture towards her far away, indicating that she was in, her heart was completely relieved.
