MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 94 ranking

The first leg of the Asian Cup started soon in Singapore.

Domestic TV stations also broadcast the game in real time.

Commentator A said: "This Asian Cup, the Chinese team has only two players participating, namely Xie Shi'an and Jian Changnian from the Binhai Province team."

Commentary B: "Xie Shi'an is mainly here to collect world points. If she wants to get a ticket for the London Summer Olympics, she must at least get a place in the semi-finals in this Asian Cup, plus the previous World Championships. Only by accumulating points in the competition can the world ranking be promoted to the top ten."

Commentator A smiled and said: "If you are among the top ten in the world, the Olympic quota is basically stable. As for Jian Changnian, she was probably brought in by Coach Yan to train her, but don't underestimate her, after all, as a rookie , came off the bench at the World Championships and also performed well."

Commentary B: "The scene is ready, the game is about to start, let us wait and see!"

Standing on the playing field again.

With the referee's whistle sounded.

Xie Shi'an seemed to have found the feeling he had when he played for the first time, so light and happy.

Only when she holds the racket can she temporarily forget her troubles and focus on the game and opponent in front of her.

The shuttlecock flew across the sky like a shooting star.

Xie Shi'an's lips curled up into a smile that was inevitable.

With the experience of the World Championships, Jian Changnian also slowly began to adapt to the rhythm of the competition, no longer so stage fright.

Xie Shi'an's style of play is to move his sword forward and win by surprise.

Her style of play is rock solid and indestructible.

This is what she honed when she was practicing with Xie Shi'an, and it belongs to her.

The sharpest spear, and the strongest shield.

Today, they are the most dazzling existence in this competition.

Yan Xinyuan looked at their figures and smiled sincerely.

"Let's congratulate Jian Changnian and Xie Shi'an for winning the competition!"

Jian Changnian cheered, ran off the field with the racket, rushed to Yan Xinyuan, and hugged him tightly.

Xie Shi'an also came over and looked at him with a smile.

"Coach Yan."

Yan Xinyuan patted their heads.

"Are you tired? Let's go, I invite you to eat!"

The three talked while walking.

Xie Shi'an: "I think I can play better today. I haven't played for a long time, and the first game still doesn't feel good."

Jian Changnian: "Come on, you go into battle with an injury, and you can still beat someone 2-0. I'm going to wake up laughing from a dream."

"Ha, it can't be, there won't be anyone in this kind of small competition, who will almost be turned against the wind."

She did win by a narrow margin today, and the situation was very close, and she was even overtaken by someone at one point, only to come back in the last game.

Jian Changnian rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight the National People's Congress.

"Xie Shi'an, you can shut up if you don't know how to speak, why didn't you ask the doctor to shave all your hair off!"

She had been laughing at herself for a week about shaving her head.

Xie Shi'an smiled half-heartedly, shaking the racket in his hand.

"What did you say, say it again."

Yan Xinyuan grabbed the shoulders of the two of them.

"Hey, it's noisy, don't do anything, tell me, what's for dinner, I'm going to starve to death!"

Jane often read: "Seafood!"

Xie Shi'an is about to sing against her.

"I want to eat hot pot!"

Yan Xinyuan has one head and two big ones.

"Okay, let's neutralize it, seafood hot pot!"

Jian Chang couldn't help but want to say something.

Yan Xinyuan glanced at him, and immediately became honest.

"I am the head coach and I have the final say."

Jian Chang lowered his head in a murmur, still chattering.

"Ah Coach Yan, she was the one who talked about me first, but you turned to her again."

A smile appeared on the corner of Xie Shi'an's lips, and he kicked her from behind, but he didn't use much force.

"It's all about eating seafood hot pot, what else do you want, hurry up, I'm going to starve to death!"

After eating, the two wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest, but Yan Xinyuan called them over again, and the three sat down around the table.

Yan Xinyuan opened his laptop, with paper and pens at hand.

Jian Changnian was a little puzzled.

"What is this for?"

Yan Xinyuan fiddled with the computer without looking up.

"Now I will teach you some commonly used techniques and tactics in the game. Listen carefully and study hard. You will benefit a lot after learning it."

Usually, he just arranges tactics and doesn't explain these principles to them.

The two looked at each other, both looking at him.

It was only then that Yan Xinyuan realized that it was a bit abrupt to tell them this all of a sudden, but he really didn't have much time.

"Oh, it's like this. I may not be able to go to the scene during your Olympic Games. Although the performance on the field is important, the victory of a game cannot be separated from the tactical arrangements off the field, especially in the team competition. Whether you are here or not, I hope you will win."

At that time, they only thought that Yan Xinyuan was eager to win, but they didn't know that he was already imparting all the knowledge he had learned all his life.

"At present, there are four common styles of play commonly used in the world badminton world. Those who come out of this way are representative figures such as Jiang Yunli, Yin Jiayi, etc.”

"Indonesian style of play, the talented girl from Thailand that Shi'an met at the World Championships last time is one of the typical ones."

"The representative of the European style, Anton from Canada, and Shi'an have already fought against each other, completely relying on their height and physical strength to rampage."

"South Korea's style of play has sprung up in recent years. South Korea's Kim Nam-ji is one of the representatives. It is also the closest to our Chinese style of play. It is very difficult to deal with."

"However, no matter what style of play, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Even if you don't know it, you should know a little bit. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."

…

The night was getting dark.

Jian Chang's mind was full of playing styles, tactics, forced backhands, international general game rules, etc. She was confused when she heard it, and finally her upper and lower eyelids fought, and she fell headfirst on the table.

There was a bang, which startled both of them.

Yan Xinyuan shook his head helplessly.

"This kid doesn't look like he's a coach."

Xie Shi'an also couldn't help laughing.

"Her? It would be nice to be able to cultivate one-third of an acre of land."

"Okay, let's stop here tonight, you go back and rest."

Yan Xinyuan looked at the time, it was almost time, there was still a match tomorrow.

Xie Shi'an grabbed her ear and pulled her up.

"Are you that sleepy? The halazi is all on the table."

"Oh no-"

Jian Changnian subconsciously wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and then realized that she had been tricked again.

Xie Shi'an has already walked away.

She chased after him angrily.

"Xie Shi'an, you're kidding me again!!"

＊＊＊

"Zhou Mu, answer this question for you."

The teacher stood on the podium, looked around, and called her name.

Zhou Mu stood up and answered fluently.

The teacher nodded approvingly.

"Sit down and look at Zhou Mu, who transferred to our class halfway. This homework has not been missed at all. Let's look at you again."

There was a commotion among the students, some surprised and some disdainful.

Zhou Mu sat down and glanced out the window. It was sunny in the afternoon, and someone was playing badminton on the green field.

Summer is here and everything seems to be back on track again.

As a transfer student, she is unpopular, but she is not treated harshly. No one here knows her, and she doesn't have to worry about being pointed at when she walks on the road. She goes to and from class step by step, brushes up questions, and reads as usual. The difference is There are not so many friends around her anymore, as if the only thing left in life is study.

Until the first cicadas sounded outside the window.

It was a physical education class.

As usual, she sat on the flower bed next to the playground and memorized English words, while the students played ball or games in groups on the green field.

"Hahaha, the ball is out of bounds, you lose!"

"No, no, two against one, it's not fair."

A shuttlecock flew from a distance and landed at her feet.

Zhou Mu looked down and was about to pick it up.

Someone also ran over in a hurry, and the hands of the two touched each other. Zhou Mu glanced at her and withdrew his hand.

The girl picked up the ball, hesitated for a while and said.

"We're playing women's doubles, and there's only one person left. Do you... want to play with us?"

After more than a month, Cheng Zhen finally waited for his final judgment. At the moment when the judge's heavy hammer fell, he couldn't help closing his eyes and weeping.

"According to the provisions of Article 20 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China", the defendant Cheng Zhen caused serious injury and death to others when he stopped the illegal infringement. He has reached the age of 18 and should bear criminal responsibility."

"In view of the fact that the defendant Cheng Zhen has a good attitude in pleading guilty, and there are human feelings in addition to legal principles, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 233 and 72 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the defendant Cheng Zhen committed negligence and caused death. Death crime, sentenced to seven years and three months in prison."

After the verdict came down, he was detained in Jiangcheng Prison, where he was finally able to meet his relatives.

Mother Cheng held his hand through the bars, tears streaming down her face.

"Son... I'm sorry for my mother... If it wasn't for saving my mother... you wouldn't..."

With a hoarse voice and red eyes, Cheng Zhen wiped away the tears on her face little by little while wearing handcuffs.

"Mom...don't say that. After dad leaves, you and grandma are my only relatives. I would rather go to jail than lose you."

After finally meeting, Cheng's mother couldn't bear to make him feel uncomfortable, so she sniffed again and managed to hold up a smile.

"I haven't had time to tell you yet, those loan sharks who forced your father to death also went in. If your father knows, he should be able to rest in peace."

During the lunch break, Zhou Mu sat in the library and read the newspaper. The legal newspaper used a whole page to report that the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau had busted a gang involved in crimes, money laundering, and usury. Even pulled down the news of several high-ranking officials.

The deputy chief of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of investigating the case, was surnamed Song.

Seeing this, Zhou Mu smiled knowingly, carefully folded the newspaper and put it back, sat down and tore up the letter paper to write to Cheng Zhen.

Before leaving, Mother Cheng handed Cheng Zhen another letter.

"Zhou Mu gave it to you. You were in the detention center before and it was inconvenient to receive the letter, so she had to send it home."

Zhou Mu wrote stroke by stroke.

"Cheng Zhen, by the time you read this letter, I have already transferred schools. The new school is very good, with a big playground where you can play football. The food in the cafeteria is also delicious. There is also a swimming pool in the school. Every week I'm going to take swimming lessons, you should like it, but I'm not as good at swimming as you, and it took me so long to learn how to breathe, when you come out, you must teach me well."

"By the way, I also met new friends here and joined the badminton school team. I haven't told you yet. Shi'an and Chang Nian are going to play the Asian Cup non-stop. Although I can't go to the scene, I can Seeing their hard work on TV, I feel that I have also been inspired, and I will try my best to break into the top 50 in the school in the next monthly exam."

Zhou Mu wrote this and smiled slightly.

At the same time, on the field of distant foreign lands, Gemini is rising.

"Let us congratulate Xie Shi'an for winning the first leg of the Asian Cup!"

"Let us also congratulate the newcomer Jian Changnian, who has entered the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup for the first time. They will go to Yokohama, Japan in three days to participate in the finals!"

When seeing her ranking on the big screen, Jian Changnian raised her arms and roared, Yan Xinyuan also stood up and applauded her.

The boy ran off the field excitedly, with tears in his eyes, hugging his coach and Xie Shi'an beside him tightly.

The barrage on the video website kept swiping.

"Xie Shi'an, awesome."

"Jian Changnian, awesome."

"Security inspection team, just be invincible right away."

"I have a hunch that this Asian Cup, the champion and runner-up are all Chinese..."

When flying from Singapore to Yokohama, many fans rushed to the airport to see them off, with flowers, gifts and lights, the momentum was huge.

Jian Changnian was a bit shy when meeting strangers, she unconsciously shrank behind Xie Shi'an, looked at the light signs in their hands, was puzzled, and bit her ear.

"Security inspection team, are you talking about us?"

Xie Shi'an pushed the luggage, protected her in front, and even accepted a letter from a fan.

"right."

"Then why wasn't I in front?"

Xie Shi'an looked down at her with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

"Probably because I'm better, in all aspects."

Jian Changnian: "..."

I always feel that something is weird, but I can't put it into words.

After passing the security checkpoint, the fans who were seeing off also dispersed. There was still some time before boarding the plane. The three of them found a seat and sat down. They were a little tired from the days of fighting.

Xie Shi'an was wearing earphones, listening to the song, and unconsciously tilted his head, leaning against Yan Xinyuan.

Jian Changnian also fell over with her eyes closed.

Sleepiness is contagious, Yan Xinyuan sat in the middle, hugged his two apprentices, and took a nap.

Sunlight poured down from the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport, behind us were noisy and hurried travelers.

Only in this corner, the scene of the three of them snuggling up to each other is so quiet, peaceful and warm.

There were also reporters who came to see him off today. Seeing this scene, his heart moved slightly, he raised his camera, and pressed the shutter.

After all, the medical conditions in big hospitals in Beijing are much better than those in Jiangcheng City. Under the guidance of the doctor, Qiao Yuchu began to massage and rehabilitate her mother, moving her knee and leg muscles.

"Come on, Mom, try to lift your legs."

Under her expectant eyes, Mother Qiao raised her right leg with difficulty, and slowly moved a little away from the bed sheet.

Although it was only moved a little and then put down again, it still

Enough to make her weep with joy.

In the ward, I don't know who turned on the TV.

The commentary spoke impassionedly.

"Xie Shi'an killed the ball!!"

"It's that trick again, the classic counterattack! It won this crucial point for her again!"

"Let us congratulate Xie Shi'an for being an absolute king, sweeping Asia without a single defeat, and winning the Asian Cup this year!"

Qiao Yuchu turned his head, and the boy stood on the highest podium, raised the trophy in his hand, and signaled to the audience.

She looked at it, tears welled up in her eyes, but a smile overflowed from the corner of her lips, it's so nice, Shi'an, I'm so happy for you.

At the moment of winning the championship, bursts of cheers erupted in the training room of the Binhai Provincial Team in Jiangcheng City. The players hugged each other excitedly, and Coach Liang was among them. Yan Xinyuan also pulled up to the podium and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"Old Yan, you, Chang Nian, and Shi An are all heroes."

Those who dare to face the pain, get rid of the past, and stick to what they love for decades are all heroes.

In the small bar run by Cao Rui, the regular customers are members of the Chenxing Club. On game days, everyone is staring at the big screen.

Until the moment when the five-star red flag was raised over Yokohama, they, like the audience at the scene, erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The bar's DJ breaks in at the right time:

"Five-star red flag, you are my pride, I am proud of you..."

The scene was instantly ignited. During the chorus, Cao Rui jumped onto the stage with a microphone in hand.

"Everyone, drinks are free tonight! Let's cheer for our champion!!"

＊＊＊

"Cheng Zhen, look, everyone is working hard in their lives. You must not give up inside. You must listen to the prison guards, eat well, and take care of yourself. We... will wait for you to come back."

After reading this, Cheng Zhen burst into tears. He wiped his face with his sleeve and let out his first sob these days.

The prison guard opened the door and entered.

"Visiting time is up, it's time to go back."

Cheng Zhen folded the letter paper, smoothed out the creases one by one carefully, put it in the jacket pocket closest to his heart, got up, put on handcuffs and shackles, and followed the prison guards back to the cell.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

"At the same time, it is also a pity that another Chinese player, Jian Changnian, lost to the opponent with a narrow 1-2 difference in the process of fighting against the talented girl Natiya from Thailand. He stopped in the semi-finals and missed the medal."

She couldn't hide her disappointment when she walked off the field.

Xie Shi'an, who had already received the award, was waiting for her at the door of the athlete's passage, and Yan Xinyuan was also beside her.

She stopped and opened her mouth.

"I…"

Before the words finished, Yan Xinyuan patted her on the shoulder vigorously.

"It's okay, just start over from the beginning."

Xie Shi'an also stretched out his fist at her.

This is the ritual before every expedition, and the way to celebrate victory.

The young man looked at Yan Xinyuan, then at her, finally a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he reached out and bumped into her fist.

The three people who finished the game did not go out for dinner, but returned to the hotel to eat instant noodles. They had more important things to do, and that was to watch the official website of the International Badminton Federation and refresh the latest rankings for this week.

The three heads came together.

It was almost zero, Jian Changnian didn't dare to blink, stared at the computer screen, and started counting down.

"Five, four, three, two..."

Xie Shi'an swallowed and held his breath.

Yan Xinyuan and Jian Chang read: "One!"

She clicked the mouse nervously.

The page didn't move at all.

three people:"…?"

Jian Changnian's scream was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down.

"What's going on, it's impossible?"

Xie Shi'an took her hand away from the mouse. There were several fingerprints on the black mouse. She wiped the sweat from her palms and turned her back.

"I... my hand slipped... I probably didn't click on it... I won't read it, you can read it."

As soon as the words finished, Jian Changnian leaned over, clicked the mouse again in disbelief, and the page flickered.

A familiar profile picture appeared at the top of the ranking.

"one two three four five six seven!"

She counted, turned around, hugged Xie Shi'an tightly, pulled him to the computer, and said excitedly.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, look quickly! You are ranked seventh in the world!! You can go to the Olympics!!"

Xie Shi'an stared blankly at the screen. Once upon a time, let alone the world rankings, the world championships were her unattainable dreams.

That's why she worked so hard when she met Yin Jiayi in the national competition, because that might be the closest she got to being a world champion.

She has played since she was a toddler, from the park to the training ground, from the city team to the provincial team, from the national competition to the World Championships, and then to the Asian Cup, from youth to adulthood, and from unknown to famous.

Walking over step by step, fifteen years have passed.

She dedicated all her youth to the arena she loves.

"When we grow up in Shi'an, we will definitely be world champions."

Xie Shi'an blinked, and tears fell.

Grandpa, did you see that? I... have a world ranking, I'm a top ten professional player in the world.

Yan Xinyuan also took off his reading glasses, squeezed his eyes, and brought the two apprentices over. The three hugged each other, crying and laughing.

"Okay, okay, I knew... Shi'an will definitely do it. Finally, I have lived up to the hardships along the way. Master, I will always be proud of you!"
