just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 263 Before the Semifinals

Time passed slowly, different regions, different times, but at this moment, people who are interested in paying attention are focusing their attention on the European continent in different ways.

There, scenes of bloody modern war are being staged.National honor, national beliefs, and of course, some people who really care more about the athletes on the field are indispensable.

……

China, Luzhou, Hui Province

At this time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and most Chinese people had already fallen asleep.As for Lin Mu's family members, how can they feel sleepy at this time, they have been waiting for a long time!

"Boss, are you coming?"

She had just dozed off for a while, and now she was energetic. Mother Lin watched the two hosts on TV talking about Connecting with Athens.She understood that her son was in Athens at the moment.

"Well, this advertisement should have been broadcast live in the past, and the time is almost here!"

"I'll call your dad..."

Mother Lin stood up slowly from the sofa, and was about to go back to the room to wake the old man up.Just as soon as he got up, he saw that Lin's father had already approved the clothes and came out.

"Is it time!?"

Walking to the sofa, Shi Shiran sat down, and Father Lin asked casually.

In fact, it is normal, which is really normal.He just went to bed early, but he never really slept well. He thought about a lot of things.He didn't understand anything about his son, and it was normal to come and go home all the time. He didn't even seem to really pay attention to the expressions on his face when he came back from the province that year and said he would stop running.

Now that he thinks about it, he still doesn't have much impression, but ever since his youngest son said that he was going to take people away and that he was going to Yanjing, he remembered it very clearly.At that time, his son gave him the feeling that he was full of brilliance inside and out.He couldn't describe what it was like, but it didn't prevent him from feeling it.

Thinking back and forth, he seemed to understand a little bit.

I just really don’t understand, can running really make people so keen on it?

What he didn't know was that a group of people like his son were not passionate about any particular project, but rather, for the word "China" in front of their names.

For many ordinary Chinese people, three meals a day, all year round, just running around for life, the honor of the country is still a little far away.

However, for the current Father Lin, because of the changes in his son, and because of the people who came to the door at this time, he realized that it is true that his son is different.

And sometimes when others asked how his son was, he suddenly felt a little dazed, just as his eldest son thought, he felt that he cared too little.

"Dad, I'll be there right away. The host just said that I'll be connecting to Athens right away, which is where the two sons are competing. The time is 2:15!"

"En!" Father Lin nodded, picked up the teacup handed by his wife, took a sip, and looked at his eldest son, as if he suddenly remembered.

His face suddenly became serious, his voice suddenly became a little higher, and he reprimanded: "Boss, how can you go to work tomorrow after staying up so late? I don't understand the truth, but you should understand why people are mentioning you? ah?!"

"Dad, don't get angry. How can Lin Wei not understand? Isn't it Sunday? I don't go to work, so I want to watch Lin Mu's game. We haven't seen it before. Now that we understand, we will If someone asks about it outside, it won't embarrass our second brother."

Lin Wei was dumbfounded by his father and didn't respond, his wife hurriedly explained.

"Sunday?!" Father Lin was stunned.

Yes, Sunday. After working at menial jobs all my life, and my son also working as a construction worker for many years, the concept of Sunday has really never occurred to me.I can't even remember this, and now the eldest son's work also has Sundays!

"What the hell, what are you yelling in the middle of the night!" Mother Lin had just gone to prepare some food, and when she came back, she heard this yelling at the top of her throat.

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay! Sit down and I'll do it!"

"Is that what it is?" Sitting next to the old man, she was too lazy to bother with their affairs, and saw the picture on the TV change as soon as she sat down.

"Yes, it's here!" Ben was about to talk to his father about work, but when he heard his mother say it, he saw that the stadium was already on the TV.He hurriedly replied and sat upright.

This is the stadium in a foreign country. It is so big and there are so many people!It's really noisy and lively...

The thoughts in the family's hearts were roughly the same, and while they were thinking, the camera kept moving around the stadium, and at the same time a male voice came out through the screen.

"China Central Television, audience friends, hello everyone... It is 21 o'clock in the evening of Athens time, and I will bring you the semi-finals of the men's 20-meter track and field competition of the No.400 Eighth Olympic Games..."

……

At the same time, HD District of Yanjing City,
In a small restaurant with a modest appearance, more than a dozen small tables were already packed!An old-fashioned TV set hanging in the store was also playing the Olympic Games at this time.

Since the beginning of the Olympic Games, stores with a little bit of economic acumen have started to make up their minds, which has also attracted many young people, especially some students from nearby schools.

The same is true at this time, there are dozens of people in the room, basically some students from nearby universities.It is also a rare pastime for three or five friends and classmates to gather together to watch the game and chat about topics of interest.

What's more, tonight's game was specially reported by the simulcast news.

"Hey, why is it an advertisement again? I haven't said a few words yet! I still want to hear what these two explanations can talk about!"

At a table on the side, three young people were eating simple dishes and drinking beer. They were watching TV with a smile at first, but when they saw another advertisement, they immediately complained.
"Old Jiang, your master is going to appear soon? Do you have any thoughts!? Tsk tsk, the Olympics. I didn't expect your school to be able to produce people. Your master is really good!"

"It's not my master!" Jiang Bing listened quietly to what his companion said, without taking his eyes off the TV for a moment. When he was talking about Lin Mu, he shook his head and replied dully: "He is our teacher. He was our coach at the time. Call him Master? I’m not qualified!"

"It's not like that!" Another companion opened a bottle of beer and poured Jiang Bing's glass. He could tell that Jiang Bing was in a bad mood.He actually knew that this new friend had been a little quiet since he lost the last trial.

"Old Jiang, actually not being able to enter the national team training camp is a loss for others, but it's not a problem for you at all, okay?!"

"You told us that you were brought under 11 seconds by Coach Lin in a few months from 9 seconds 11. He is equivalent to your enlightenment coach, isn't that true? Don't you have his phone now? ?You call him, you go to your coach. He is not a school teacher now, he is the relay head coach of the national team. Arranging you to train with the team is just a matter of his word!"

"Old boy, old Zhao, it's not..." Jiang Bing shook his head, but didn't say anything in the end.What he really thinks about is this training camp.

From a senior high school sports student who is confused about the future, to winning a national youth sub-station championship, to participating in the Yanti professional assessment, until entering the dream university campus.

It's only half a year, and it can be said that the journey has been smooth and smooth.But after actually entering the Yan University, he still had some longing for the future, but was shattered step by step by the reality.

At the beginning, he was on the same level as others, or even a little better. In less than a year, he has gradually fallen behind.In this way, he has no face to meet the coach.

Do you think I'm not trying hard enough?Indulging yourself after entering school?
But it's not that I don't work hard!This is what the school coach said, my talent is at its peak?
Picking up the wine glass, Jiang Bing handed it to his mouth, and took a sip. He really wanted to vent his depression now.

But when the wine glass was about to enter, Jiang Bing paused, staring blankly at the glass of yellow-orange beer in his hand.

Really indulge? !

"What's the matter, Old Jiang?!"

The companion looked at Jiang Bing in a daze and asked.

"Haha~" Jiang Bing slowly put down his wine glass, smiled strangely, and breathed out softly: "Old Tong, Old Zhao, I told you a lot about my training back then. But I didn't tell you Told about my coach."

Without waiting for the two companions to respond, Jiang Bing continued on his own: "Our coach was in the provincial team at the beginning, runner-up in the 400-meter National Games, and then retired due to injury..."

The two companions immediately became interested when they heard Jiang Bing say this. For many young people in the sports system and sports colleges, the name Lin Mu is now very legendary.They are naturally interested in hearing the story of this legendary figure.

"...He came to the national team and brought real athletes. As you all know now, he has achieved world championships and indoor championships. He himself also returned to the competition through hard work and recovered and won the Asian championship. Now he brings His disciple is in the Olympic Games. The [-]-meter has entered the semi-finals, and soon he himself will run the semi-finals..."

"He himself, the people he has coached, which one is not getting better and better, but what about me? I lost and lost again, and now I can only drink beer here in depression. I am also a person coached by the coach!
I don’t think about how good an athlete I will become. Maybe I won’t become a professional athlete one day, but our coach said that no matter what, the steps we take are to move forward, to a higher place, not to a higher place. ..."

The three fell silent, and the two companions were actually shocked by what Jiang Bing said about their Coach Lin and about themselves.Thinking about that coach Lin, they couldn't help but think of themselves.

The bigger the ideal, the farther the dream is, and when it is not achieved, it will always be a blow to people, and perhaps they want to forget it deliberately.

But Coach Lin seemed to have been hit harder than them, but he came over and did not choose to forget.Instead, he worked harder, and now it can be said that he has succeeded.

"Bang~"

"damn it!"

He slapped the table hard and ignored the many surprised looks from around him. The man called Lao Zhao couldn't help but curse.He is not scolding anyone, he is scolding himself.

"Whoo~"

"Boss, I don't want the beer, but I can order a few bottles of...milk!"

The other companion breathed out lightly, put down his wine glass slowly, and then shouted at the shop owner before turning his head to look at his companion, his eyes fixed on Jiang Bing: "Old Jiang , I still want to say, you are different from the two of us, you have the heart, you have the conditions, you also have the opportunity, don't pay attention to the bullshit talents that the coaches in the school say.

Yes, talent is there, but when your coach Lin took you, he didn't care about talent or not. Didn't you run into Yan University from an ordinary student who was 11 seconds faster than 12... You should go to your coach, you Since you have the heart to continue running, it doesn't matter what form you take. Are you still afraid of losing face in front of the teacher? "

"Let's watch TV and it's about to start. You listen to me on this matter..."

"Go to the coach? Will the coach still care about me?"

Jiang Bing murmured as he watched the picture of the studio appear on the TV.

……

"The host is ready!"

"Countdown"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"start!"

Olympic Stadium media area,

CCTV's on-site staff, as everything was ready, the director gave an order, and the entire Olympic Stadium was shown on domestic TV.

"China Central Television, audience friends, hello everyone! This is the Olympic Stadium in front of Athens. The semi-final of the men's 28-meter track and field competition of the 400th Athens Olympic Games will be broadcast live for you immediately. I am the live commentator Yang Jian..."

"Hi everyone, I'm Han Qiao."

"It's 21 o'clock in the evening local time, and Yanjing time is already 2 o'clock in the morning, audience friends who are still sitting in front of the TV late at night..."

The opening remarks and brief introductions of the two hosts chatted with each other, and the live broadcast signal was transmitted back to the country, which made the people who were still paying attention at this moment instantly refreshed.

"As you can see, the atmosphere in the Olympic Stadium behind me is very enthusiastic at this time, and the cheers around are deafening...

Track and field competition is called the mother of the Olympics, and the sprint event of track and field is called the crown jewel of track and field, and its influence is huge in every Olympic Games.

Today, we in Huaxia have finally come to this point, we have qualified for the Olympic Games in the men's sprint event and all individual events..."

Yang Jian's impassioned words made people who had half-understood it, but came to watch because of the Huaxia athletes' competition, understand the meaning of it better.This also made them feel enthusiastic for a moment.It turns out that a run is not so simple!
"Viewers who have stayed up late and are still watching the game may not be disappointed. Before the broadcast begins, we first give you some good news..."

After Yang Jian continued to say something, he glanced at him and passed the words to Han Qiao.

"It's good news. In the second round of the men's [-]-meter semi-finals that just ended not long ago, Chinese athletes Shen Huan, Zhao Lin, and Chen Jianhai respectively ranked among the top three in their respective groups and successfully advanced to the semifinals. This is our country's first performance in the Olympic Games. Another major breakthrough in track and field competitions..."

In the screen that the audience couldn't see, Yang Jian and Han Qiao wore earphones and headsets, talking to each other excitedly and introducing some of the previous [-]-meter race.

The two of them had been watching the game end just now. Needless to say, they were excited and excited. In order to prepare for the commentary, they suppressed their emotions for a while.But now, sitting in a stadium with tens of thousands of people, feeling the warm atmosphere at close range, I couldn't help but get excited again.

Because of the simulcast news broadcast after the [-]-meter preliminaries, this also made many people more concerned about the [-]-meter rematch, but CCTV did not arrange a live broadcast of the rematch due to broadcast rights and other events.

They had been looking forward to it, and now Yang Jian and Han Qiao would have a passionate introduction.It made them excited for a while. They haven't seen the game yet, but a single news has already made them excited.

Huaxia Dash broke through again!Everyone who loves Huaxia, who really likes Huaxia sports, is extremely proud and proud of every step Huaxia takes forward.

As the two introduced the previous competition from time to time, and analyzed some specific results of the [-]-meter race, a few minutes had passed.

Listening to the matchup between the two, and the occasional comments, for those who haven't watched the game, even if they just watch the two work in vain, they will not feel bored at all.On the contrary, it reminded them of their interest in the game.

A few minutes passed, and as the women's 800-meter semi-finals on the field ended, after the contestants left the field, there was a sudden burst of cheers at the scene, and the camera also moved slowly from the parade of the stands to the middle of the field.

At this time, a group of eight figures walked through the corridor and entered the stadium under the leadership of the guide.

The semi-finals of the men's 400m race have begun!
