Chapter 335 Invitation to the National Team

338 chapter

A tall man as towering as a mountain, and a little girl carved in pink and jade.

When Cheng Nuo saw these two people, he was suddenly startled, and then walked over with a doting smile on his face.

He patted the little girl's head, leaned slightly and smiled, "Noy, why are you here?"

That's right, this little girl is An Nuoyi's children's shoe whom Cheng Nuo hasn't seen for almost a year.

This primary school monk...oh, no, now Annuoy has got rid of the primary school monk stage and has become a glorious Chinese junior high school student.

In the international competition of the fifth season of "The Most Powerful Brain" two years ago, the two teamed up to defeat a fast calculation expert from an island country.

Of course, An Nuoyi's children's shoes have another identity - Su Xiaoxiao's cousin!
Its foodie attributes are in the same vein!

Being touched on the head by Cheng Nuo, Annui wrinkled her nose slightly, blinked her big watery eyes, and said abruptly, "Coach Hong asked me to come with him to find you, big brother!"

Coach Hong?
Cheng Nuo turned his head slightly, and looked up at the middle-aged man beside him who looked like a Yue.

This face... seems familiar?
That "Coach Hong" seemed to feel that Cheng Nuo was looking at him. He stretched out his hand to Cheng Nuo and laughed, "Student Cheng Nuo, we met once. You forgot that in June of the year before last, you When you participated in the last round of interviews for "The Most Powerful Brain"?"

Oh, it turned out to be him! !
After such a reminder, Cheng Nuo remembered who this person was.

Hong Zhong, the head coach of the Huaguo Abacus and Mental Arithmetic National Team, was invited by the strongest brain program group to be the interviewer for Cheng Nuo's team.

Cheng Nuo still remembers that Coach Hong seemed to have some trouble with him at the time, but before leaving, he still invited himself to join the abacus mental arithmetic national team, but Cheng Nuo refused because he was "not interested in money."

So today, the purpose of this Coach Hong coming downstairs to find himself in the dormitory is...?
Cheng Nuo first greeted Hong Zhong with a face of sudden realization, and then asked, "I wonder why Coach Hong came to see me?"

Coach Hong looked around and said with a smile, "It's not convenient to talk here. How about we find a quiet place?"

Cheng Nuo nodded, "Yes, there is a coffee shop nearby, let's go there and talk!"

…………

"What?! Let me join the national team!" In the cafe, Cheng Nuo almost exclaimed.

An Nuoyi, who was sitting across from him, had the attitude of a little follower, silently stirring the coffee with a spoon without hearing anything outside the window.

Hong Zhong showed a majestic yet polite smile on his face, "Yes, student Cheng Nuo, now I sincerely invite you to join our abacus and mental arithmetic national team to participate in the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition held in Seattle, USA this February!"

Cheng Nuo smiled wryly, "Coach Hong, this is not good! Just because of my age, I am not suitable!"

When he said the age was inappropriate, he didn't mean that he was too young, but...too old!

Cheng Nuo is only 20 years old this year.

In other fields, this is basically at a "new calf" age, but in the field of quick calculation, this is almost past retirement age.

The golden age of speed calculation players is around the age of eight to 15. Once this age is exceeded, the level will drop significantly due to various reasons.

In recent years, among the players representing the Hua Guo team in the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition, there are very few players who are over 15 years old, and as for those over 20 years old, there is not a single one!
Therefore, joining the national team at An Nuoyi's age is just right, as for Cheng Nuo...

A person of his "uncle" age does not want to get involved in the national team's affairs.

Coach Hong shook his head and didn't focus on this issue at all, "Don't worry, the organizing committee of the competition didn't make strict regulations on age. So your age is not a problem at all. Don't say that you are only 20 years old. Even if you are 80 or [-] years old, there is no problem in participating."

Cheng Nuo: "..."

This is the truth, but I always feel that something is not right!

Cheng Nuo still declined, "Coach Hong, there should be many people in your team who are more suitable than me to participate in this World Series. Why do you have to find me?"

The Huaguo National Team has participated in the Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition for 15 years, and has won the championship for nine consecutive years. Its dominance is self-evident.

It doesn't make sense to say that the main force of the national team is not needed, but ask yourself, an unknown college student, to join the national team to play!

Coach Hong sighed, "We are also helpless. You don't know that the three main members of the national team were secretly recruited by a military base a week ago. It will take at least half a year to be sent back. "

"But the World Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Competition will be held in a little over two months. With our current lineup, I'm afraid it's really hard to say that we can successfully defend the title. So, I thought of you, student Cheng Nuo!"

For some reason, when Hong Zhong was faced with such a predicament, the first thing he thought of was not the group of retired national team players, but... During a meeting two years ago, it took less than two hours The boy who had left an unusually deep impression on him!

So, here he is!
Come to Tsinghua University and find Cheng Nuo!
Cheng Nuo was still hesitating, "Professor Hong, I'm really busy these days, and I..."

Cheng Nuo just finished speaking less than halfway, when he became dumb!

Because coach Hong Zhong was holding a piece of paper in his hand at this time, it was a transfer order with the seal of the People's Liberation Army Headquarters printed on it.

The name of the transferred person was Cheng Nuo!
Since the main members have been called away, coach Hong Zhong will definitely be compensated.The form of compensation is absolute freedom in team selection and full support from the department.

Cheng Nuo smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand, "Coach Hong, you really worked so hard for me!"

Coach Hong Zhong laughed, "Student Cheng Nuo, don't be so sad! I believe that you have the strength to lead us to successfully defend the title."

Cheng Nuo smiled irrefutably, "That's natural."

The feeling of being forced to pretend is really... very uncomfortable!

…………

Before leaving the cafe, Cheng Nuo received a call from Professor Fang before he had even taken two steps.

Cheng Nuo, who was familiar with driving, came to the office. This time, Professor Fang was alone.

The topic of discussion is about this year's American Collegiate Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

Also known as the Mae Sai.

The event is held in February every year. Professor Fang does not intend to let Cheng Nuo participate, but the college intends to let Cheng Nuo participate and bring back a special prize for Tsinghua University.

The final decision is naturally subject to the academy.

Professor Fang asked Cheng Nuo for his opinion.

Cheng Nuo smiled bitterly and said that he would fly to Seattle, USA, to participate in the World Speed ​​Calculation Competition in February from February 2th to February 9th.

Professor Fang said that was just right, the US competition starts on February 2th, and you will be back just in time.

And at that time, the competitive state was still there, which was an absolute good thing!

Therefore, before Cheng Nuo had any opinions, this matter was decided so happily!
