MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 55 National competition (19)
While Xie Shi'an and the others were intensively carrying out pre-match special training, Qiao Yuchu also started rehabilitation in the hospital.
"One, two, three..." While she was counting, she was doing push-ups. At the beginning, she touched the ground with both hands, and at the end she slowly raised her left hand and put her body weight on her right hand.
Qiao Yuchu gritted her teeth and persisted, sweating profusely. When she counted to ninety-seventh, an accident happened. There was a sharp pain in her right wrist, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Miss Qiao!" Jin Shunqi, who was checking the room in the corridor, heard the movement, and rushed in with one stride, helping him up from the ground.
"Are you OK?!"
Qiao Yuchu smiled, her face turning pale.
"It's okay, I just want to recover..."
"You have just finished the operation for a few days, and the seams are still in the healing stage. Even rehabilitation should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor!"
There was a rare sternness in Jin Shunqi's tone, and his hand was still on her shoulder.
Qiao Yuchu avoided his concerned gaze and forced herself to stand up.
"I'm fine... I don't have much time left, I have to... have to get back on the court as soon as possible."
Jin Shunqi sighed helplessly.
"Although it's late now, I don't think you want to rest, please come with me—"
Qiao Yuchu was startled: "You..."
Jin Shunqi stood at the door, looking at her with his hands in the pockets of his white coat.
"I'll take you to rehab."
A smile appeared on Qiao Yuchu's lips.
"Is Dr. Jin still not off work so late?"
Kim shrugged and went with her to the rehab center.
"I was going to leave work after checking your ward, but now I have a new job."
Qiao Yuchu's face was slightly apologetic.
"Sorry to bother you so late."
Jin Shunqi looked over with clear eyes, with a slightly helpless expression.
"Miss Qiao, can I not use honorifics? It makes me look very old, and I don't need to say sorry. It is also one of my jobs to accompany you until you fully recover and leave the hospital."
Qiao Yuchu burst out laughing.
"Although Doctor Jin looks very young, in fact..."
Jin Shunqi's expression became more and more helpless.
"Okay, I get it, you are not the first person to say that, even my little niece is starting to dislike me for having nothing in common."
"Okay, then I won't say honorifics, and Dr. Jin will stop talking about Ms. Qiao. It sounds weird."
The smile on Qiao Yuchu's lips did not diminish.
Jin Shunqi stopped and looked at her, with a childlike stubbornness and seriousness in his expression.
"Didn't you say honorifics? Why did you call Dr. Jin again?"
Qiao Yuchu changed his tune from being kind.
"gold."
Only then did Jin Shunqi smile.
"Then can I call you Yuchu?"
"Well, that's what they all call it."
Jin Shunqi looked at her with eyes as gentle as moonlight, and said with a smile.
"Yuchu."
Those two short words brushed across my heart like a feather, bringing a slight itchy feeling.
Qiao Yuchu didn't know why, and was taken aback.
Jin Shunqi pushed open the door of the rehabilitation center.
"Here we go, let's go in."
***
The time soon came to the day of the team competition.
Xie Shi'an got up early in the morning and went to the training room to warm up, but what she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked to the door, she heard the sound of hitting **** inside. She opened the door and saw that Jian Chang wanted to turn around. He turned to smile at her,
"Morning."
Xie Shi'an put the ball bag on the ground.
"You didn't go back last night?"
Jian Changnian scratched her head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I originally wanted to practice more, but I was too tired. I wanted to lie down and rest for a while before I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already midnight, so I just lay here and continued to sleep. Fortunately, the training room The heater is hot enough, otherwise I guess I'd have a cold."
"Let Coach Yan know, and he will be scolded again."
Jian Changnian hurriedly glanced outside the door, but fortunately there was no one there.
"Shh, keep your voice down, how dare I let him know, I wouldn't have told you if I knew about it."
A smile appeared on the corner of Xie Shi'an's lips, he picked up the racket and walked across to her.
"Come on, let's have a hot hand."
***
When it was time to leave for the stadium in the afternoon, Qiao Yuchu still didn't come back. When Xie Shi'an got into the car, he looked around the car, but there was no one there.
The young man looked slightly disappointed.
Jian Changnian followed her.
"Shi'an, let's sit down first. Sister Yuchu will definitely come if she says she can. I believe her."
Xie Shi'an nodded, put the bag on the seat, and then sat down.
The training center is not too far from the competition venue, ten minutes away, Jian Changnian sat in the car, shaking, slowly closed his eyes, and turned his head to the person sitting on the other side.
Xie Shi'an took off his earphones.
"Are you really okay if you're so sleepy? I'm going to be the first one to play today."
Jian Changnian woke up suddenly, sat up straight, and smiled at her.
"No, I'll be the first to play and score a point first. The Beijing team will never arrange for Jin Nanzhi to play first."
Xie Shi'an put on the earphones again and looked out the window at the street scene.
"If you feel reluctant, you can tell Coach Yan before the roster is exchanged."
Although her tone was cold, Jian Changnian still managed to figure out a hint of concern.
The teenager smiled and poked her arm.
"Hey, do you care about me?"
Xie Shi'an slapped her hand away in disgust, frowning.
"Don't touch me, I'm afraid you are not in good condition and will drag us down."
"Oh, don't worry, I will definitely give you a point first, and I won't hold you back. Besides, I also promised you that if I want to give you back a championship, sister Yuchu will not break her promise. Nor will it."
Jian Changnian said with a smile.
Xie Shi'an just took it as a joke.
At that time, she didn't take it to heart at all, but what she didn't expect was that in the long years to come, the person who had sworn to accompany her on the journey with her was separated, and the other person made a joke, but Remembered for a lifetime.
Jian Changnian has always remembered to give her back a championship, and she is the first strong player to face the Beijing team. The victory in the first game has a great impact on the morale of both sides.
Therefore, she must not lose this game. With such a belief, Jian Changnian took the racket and stepped onto the field resolutely.
The player who played against her has already been selected for the national team, and he is considered a rising star in the country. He is a little famous, and his strength should not be underestimated.
This is destined to be an extremely stalemate game, and the audience on and off the field are tense and fearful.
Under the expectation of everyone, Jian Changnian lost the first round by one point, and she walked back with a racket in frustration.
"I'm sorry, Coach Yan, just one point, I didn't play well."
Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
"It's okay, there are still two rounds left, come and drink some water, play well in the second round, don't be afraid of her, it's over."
Jian Changnian nodded, took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and walked onto the field.
"At the beginning of the second round, Jian Changnian's desire to attack was very strong, and he didn't give the opponent a chance at all."
"I have to say, I watched her match during the singles group stage. Jian Changnian was a little hesitant when receiving the serve. Sometimes the opponent would find the opportunity, master the active rhythm, and end the game in one wave."
"After this period of adjustment, I can clearly feel that she is more confident than before, more daring to fight, and her strength has obviously reached a new level!"
The commentator said excitedly.
"It's the last ball. Jian Changnian won the game with a wave and won the second game with a big score of 13:21!"
"The two sides equalized and came to match point."
When Jian Changnian walked down, she helped the chair in the rest area, she was sweating profusely, and her expression was a little bit wrong.
Yan Xinyuan gave her a hand.
"what happened?"
It was only when she sat on the chair that she felt dizzy a little better. Jian Changnian pulled herself together and smiled.
"It's okay, Coach Yan, the physical exertion is a bit heavy, just take a rest."
Seeing her sweating profusely, Yan Xinyuan was afraid that he might become dehydrated, so he unscrewed a bottle of pure water for her, with some worry in his eyes.
"If you don't feel well, just say it, and I'll apply for a medical suspension."
Jian Changnian took a sip of water, felt a little better, and shook his head.
"No need, I'll just sit down for a while. When the rest time is up, I'll play the game. It's the last game. I must win this game."
"Coach Yan..." The referee came over and asked him to watch the replay of the controversial ball, Yan Xinyuan had no choice but to get up.
"Okay then, you take a rest first, and you must tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Jian Changnian nodded, watched him walk away, and when she was about to pick up a towel to wipe off her sweat, a hand was already handed over.
She looked along her white wrist, it was Xie Shi'an.
The boy's face is cold and his heart is hot.
"Don't be brave, I will still be in the next game."
Jian Changnian took the towel from her hand and wiped her hair.
"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night..."
Before she finished speaking, the towel covering her head was pulled off, and Xie Shi'an's palm was pressed against her forehead, which was astonishingly hot.
"You have a fever! I'm going to find Coach Yan..."
As she said, she turned around and was about to find Yan Xinyuan, but Jian Changnian stood up suddenly and grabbed her wrist.
The boy licked his chapped lips due to the high heat, his eyes anxious.
"Shi'an! Every point is too important to us now, so I must win this game."
Xie Shi'an was reluctant and wanted to get rid of her.
"That's not OK…"
Jian Changnian pinched her wrist tightly, not giving an inch.
"Sister Yuchu hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how she's recovering, whether she can pass the doping test, what if, what if..."
She paused for a moment, her eyes were determined like never before.
"You can only play two games at most by yourself. My point is very important. I can really hold on. Maybe it's because I caught a cold last night, just sweating."
"Shi'an, stop making trouble, don't let your opponent see it."
At the end of the sentence, Jian Changnian's tone softened, with a rare hint of pleading.
Xie Shi'an's footsteps were stuck in place, unable to move.
Even though they were very careful not to reveal any flaws, the state of Jian Changnian still aroused Jin Nanzhi's vigilance.
She glanced over there a few times, called people together, and said in a low voice: "Jian Changnian seems a little uncomfortable, the last game is over, don't worry, hang with her slowly, consume her energy, first take After scoring this point, there will be me in the next game, and we must win this championship."
A group of people put their hands together, and the hope of victory was shining in their eyes.
"The Beijing team—"
"come on, come on, come on!"
The same is true for the Coastal Province team, the usual departure ceremony before the game.
Everyone looked at Jian Changnian.
Jian Changnian put her hand up.
Xie Shi'an stood aside without moving, his eyes were deep.
Jian Changnian glanced at her again, and said softly, "Shi'an..."
Xie Shi'an pursed the corners of his lips, and reluctantly put his hands up.
"Chang Nian—"
"come on!"
"The Maritimes team—"
"Invincible!"
In the tsunami of mountains and tsunami in the auditorium, the third game officially kicked off.
"The first two rounds were played very fast. In the third round, the rhythm of both sides slowed down, pulling the hook, and exchanging one more shot with each other."
"Jian Changnian launched an attack and smashed the ball very fast."
"But this ball, she seems to have made a mistake. Let's take a look at the replay."
After the slow-motion video came out, the ball that Jian Changnian killed flew out of the line because of too much force.
"5:11, let us congratulate the Beijing team for taking the game point first."
She wants to win too much, and every minute and every second, she loses her physical strength, so she must fight quickly.
Jian Changnian licked her lips, panting heavily, her hand holding the racket was tight and tight, and the clothes on her back were all wet.
She shook her head to get rid of the dizziness in her mind, and with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially started.
In the case of a full six points behind, it is not easy to equalize the score, let alone win this game.
The Beijing team has already secured the victory, and even after winning the game, they are already raising their hands to celebrate with their teammates.
Jian Changnian glanced at the scoreboard, her vision was a bit blurred, she had to bite the tip of her tongue out a trace of blood, and let the pain stimulate her nerves before she could see the numbers clearly.
11:19
It can be said that half of her foot has stepped off the cliff.
The audience behind her is cheering for her.
"Jian Changnian—"
"come on!!"
"The Coastal Team—"
"come on!!"
Zhou Mu, who was watching the live broadcast in front of the mobile phone screen, also sweated deeply for her, and whispered: "Chang Nian, come on."
Cheng Zhen, who is training far away in Hainan, is facing his last assessment today. The results of this assessment will directly determine whether he can enter the swimming team's roster for the spring National Swimming League.
Before the assessment, he was warming up, leapfrogging back and forth by the pool, and watching the game video with his mobile phone in his hand.
A teammate passed by him.
"Yo, what are you looking at, so serious."
"My friend, you've reached the national badminton finals, it's amazing."
"It's great, but with this score, why do you feel like you're going to lose?"
Cheng Zhen stretched his legs and tripped him.
"Fuck you, can you say something auspicious?"
11:20
At this point in the game, no one is optimistic about Jian Changnian anymore, the voices in the stands are much quieter, and some spectators leave the field one after another.
Even her teammates were preparing for the next game. Yan Xinyuan took off his glasses, sighed, and turned his back. The moment he turned around, the commentator exclaimed.
"What is this! Jian Changnian completed a 360-degree swing in the air to smash the ball. Isn't this Xie Shi'an's unique trick?!"
The boy who was sitting in the rest area preparing for the battle suddenly stood up.
The cornered person gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, she held the racket, and started her counterattack again and again.
Jian Changnian's head became more and more dizzy, just relying on that breath to keep killing and scoring.
"She hits so hard."
"The opponent was a bit overwhelmed, and Jian Changnian scored consecutively."
12:20
15:20
19:20
20:20
"Oh my god! Jian Changnian evened the score in one breath!"
There was thunderous applause from the stands.
Even the members of the Beijing team were stunned.
The Binhai team exploded, shouting her name hoarsely outside the court.
Zhou Mu was also cheering for her nervously.
"Chang Nian, the last two points, come on!"
"This is the most dramatic game so far. With such a big point difference, I caught up in one breath."
"There are still the last two goals. Who will win this game?"
The moment the explanation's voice just fell, Jian Changnian moved.
"Come on, Jian Chang Nian pushes and releases the net, but the other party pulls the hoist, which distances her from her."
"Jian Changnian doesn't want to give her any chance to fight back, so she directly hits the ball."
"21:20, Jian Chang wants to smash the ball and score!"
"It's the last ball. It can be seen that neither side wants to let it go. One shot is too much."
The bang sound from hitting the ball echoed throughout the venue, touching the hearts of every audience on the scene and in front of the screen.
"boom-"
Jian Changnian hit hard, and the white meteor streaked across the air.
Everyone held their breath nervously.
After about a second or two of silence.
The scoreboard lights up, like a time bomb has been dropped in a calm lake.
22:20
The audience roared like a tsunami with thunderous applause.
Yan Xinyuan also yelled and raised his hands high to applaud her.
"Little Jane, good job!"
Jian Changnian glanced back, laughed slowly, then lost all strength and sat down on the ground.
A white figure rushed to her side.
"Dou...Jian Changnian, how are you?!" Xie Shi'an blurted out, wanting to call her a nickname, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his words.
Yan Xinyuan and the team doctor also surrounded her, and when they touched her arm, they felt hot all over.
"I have a fever, hurry up, help the person down first!"
A group of people helped her to the rest area, and took her temperature, which was 38.9. Yan Xinyuan hated iron for being weak.
"You... how did you do this?! You didn't tell me when you were sick, and you still played games while sick. You really deserve it!"
Xie Shi'an opened his mouth, and just about to speak, Jian Changnian feared that she would be accused of not reporting the knowledge, and said first: "It's okay, Coach Yan, I was just too tired last night, and I spent the whole night in the training room. For the sake of winning the game, don't scold me."
She was sitting here with an ice pack on her forehead to cool down, her face was flushed red due to the high fever, and her lips had no trace of blood.
"You...wait for me after the game is over!" Yan Xinyuan wanted to scold, but he couldn't.
