just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 315 Departure
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!"

Su Sheng, in front of the community building, standing in front of the car door, Zhao Lin was saying goodbye to his relatives.

"Xiao Zhao, run well, we will cheer you on in front of the TV then!"

"Yes, Xiao Linzi, our community will cheer for you at the beginning of the Olympic Games, those foreigners will definitely not be able to run away from you..."

"Don't make a fuss, he is leaving, you can't stop arguing. And don't let people talk at home..."

"Brother Zhao, ignore them, these old men and old ladies, ouch..."

"You bastard, who said old man and old lady..."

"..."

The surrounding area of ​​the car was packed with dozens of people, and it was unknown who had spotted the situation first.Then, within a few minutes, more people gathered around, old, middle-aged and young people of different ages, chirping together to talk to Zhao Lin.

The only star in the community, and the kind of star who is easy-going, like the big boy next door.Occasionally when I come back, I can say hello to everyone I see, which is especially cordial.

"Okay! Don't surround yourself, let Xiao Zhao go! Don't waste other people's time!"

Zhao Lin greeted everyone with a smile for a while, and the people from the sub-district office to which the community belonged stood up and finally pushed these people down.

"Xiao Lin, let's go, when the time comes..."

After earnestly nodding, Zhao Lin waved to the people around him again and got into the car.

The crowd dispersed automatically, and the car started slowly.

In the car, he turned his head and looked at the family members and neighbors who were still waving. After muttering to himself, Zhao Lin leaned back on the seat and slowly closed his eyes.

"It's been more than five years..."

Zhao Lin thought silently, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

He thought about the training camp he was going to now, and about the Olympics that would start soon.Thinking of the coach, I remembered those dreams I had.

From the day when I was less than 19 years old and shouted that I wanted to become the power of Huaxia to the present, Zhao Lin has experienced a legendary sports career.But he himself knew that he was not legendary at all, he was just an ordinary older youth.A social youth who has a little talent but failed to enter the gate of sports due to various reasons.There are many people like him in the whole country.

He was just lucky enough to stick to his dream, met a truly legendary person, taught him knowledge, cared for his growth, protected them from wind and rain...

For what?
He's almost 24, and now Zhao Lin is no longer the immature young man he was back then, he already understands a lot.

In 03, he understood what it means to bring glory to the country. In 04, he understood the real gap between him and the world's top players. In 05 and 06, he won and even lost dozens of games.He understood that with great power comes great responsibility.

In 07, his most glorious year, in Osaka, he broke the 9-meter world record for the first time with a time of 75 seconds.On that day, the world was shocked, and the whole country was in an upsurge.He understood that if he wanted to wear a crown, he must bear its weight.

It was also at that moment that he realized his own growth more deeply, the growth of track and field sprinting.I also understand the responsibility that the coach has always said.

Only unexpected, nothing impossible, we are the successors of Huaxia Athletics and the founders of opening up the future.

It's 08, and it's already June. He has given up all games since more than two months ago.Even his world record was broken a few days ago.

On May 5, when the world record of 31 seconds was born, the whole country was in an uproar, and countless people clamored, hoping that he could participate in some competitions and regain China's honor.

The coach respected his choice, but he finally decided to train and prepare for the game with peace of mind.Points, records, rankings, and money are all unimportant, because the Olympics are coming.

He knew that the coach and the team valued this Olympic Games very much, not for the gold medal and the so-called honor, but to further consolidate the rise of China's track and field sprint.

As China's current top [-]-meter athlete, he needs to take on this responsibility.What he hopes more is that he can contribute to the coach and those who are persistent.

12 months a year, coaches have to be busy for 11 months, bringing newcomers and coaches, guiding them in training, and accompanying them to discuss skills and awareness.There are also various training programs that have been formulated for them.

"Core stability and core control... the solution?"

Thinking of the days since he broke the world record, he felt his own powerlessness when the glory was over.The improvement of physical fitness is almost insignificant, and the technology recognized in the world tends to be perfect, and it seems that there is no change. He is almost at a loss.

The coach asked them to continue to improve their quality, continue to strengthen their posture and pace, and after that, they will complete the plan of full control training.He knows that these are things that the coach has studied for many years. When he occasionally tried it before, the coach said that he was not ready yet.

Now he understands that the coach had predicted their possible situation a few years ago and prepared for them early.

"Coach, I..."

Zhao Lin slowly opened his eyes, his admiration flowed, and a warm feeling flowed in his heart, this master who is only a few years older than him.

"Brother Zhao, we're going to enter the training camp tomorrow. It is estimated that the day after tomorrow will be officially closed for training. Then, the interviews arranged by the previous centers..."

While thinking, the new affairs assistant beside him spoke cautiously.

After sorting out the recent affairs, the assistant waited for Zhao Lin to open his eyes before talking about the matter.

"Brother Xie, don't call me Brother Zhao, I'm much younger than you. I don't even have a girlfriend, so don't call me big!"

With a gentle smile, Zhao Lin made a joke.

He could somewhat understand the cautiousness of this new assistant.Who told him to change two assistants in the past two years?

In the second half of 05, Tong Hongyu, his assistant who had served him for nearly two years, left the team due to physical problems.After some arrangements, the center sent a new assistant.As a result, this assistant was forcibly resisted by Zhao Lin within half a year.

That assistant likes to take care of everything, he doesn't care, he has a close relationship with the center, and has arranged a lot of activities that affect his training and competition, and he tries to discuss it as much as possible.Generally speaking, the business ability should not be bad.

But he couldn't accept that this assistant was around him clamoring for the coaching team. After his grades got better and better, he tried to influence his small team's cooperation with the coach.

At the beginning, I used Liu Xiang's example as a comparison, but he just smiled, and he didn't care what happened to Liu Xiang's team.Later, he was dissatisfied with Brother Gu and Sister Lin, and sometimes even started a small confrontation.At this time, Zhao Lin couldn't stand still.

After communicating several times, the other party also agreed to be good, but in the end, there were very few changes, and I still tried to influence him, so-called improving his influence and external image.

Zhao Lin could imagine that the other party might have some connections, and in his situation, it was impossible for the person who could be arranged for him not to follow suit.He went to the center and talked with the team, and it seems that the effect is not great, which proves it.The Center clearly felt it was in their interest to further develop his commercial value.

Zhao Lin found Sister Lin, and after a lot of tossing around, his assistant changed.After following the coach for so many years, how could he not know Sister Lin's energy.

The assistant in exchange was very honest, and he tried his best to carry out the work according to his ideas.It was only after he broke the record at the World Championships in Osaka that the signs started again. In less than a month, he participated in 9 various activities, and many of them directly contacted the center without brother Gu and sister Lin.

Why do these people just not figure it out?

At this time, Zhao Lin was no longer the same as before. He didn't look for Sister Lin, and his assistant changed again.The new one is the present one.Moreover, it looks much smarter than those so-called elites.

"Brother Xie, have you contacted the coach? What did the coach say?"

"Director Lin gave 5 days to arrange affairs, counting from yesterday. However, the meaning of Miss Lin is to keep silent now. There are still two months to speak before the last press conference before the game. As for the center Director Du's opinion over there..."

Facing Zhao Lin's modesty, Assistant Xie remained rigorous and answered in detail.

"Then don't worry about it, let's push the interview first. It must be asking me about the world record, how to run in the Olympics and so on. I can't explain it clearly, so let them write it. Report our opinion to Sister Lin, and the center will If so, Sister Lin can solve it..."

"it is good!"

The assistant replied, seeing that Zhao Lin seemed to be closing his eyes again, he didn't speak again.

"I want to train hard with the coach for two months, hehe!"

For the rare training opportunities every year, Zhao Lin is very urgent now.There are very few opportunities for them and their partners to get together for a long time every year.

……

Almost at the same time, similar scenes happened in many places in China.

Those who are called partners have also ended their short vacation and embarked on a journey.

And Zhao Lin's thoughts were the same, those whom he called partners all had their own urgency.

However, before they set off, there were some things they were worried about, and they still had to take a walk.

Nanhu and Tanzhou, more than 1000 kilometers away from Su Province.

A small private car parked in front of a newly settled community.

Wearing a big long-peaked cap and ordinary sportswear, Shen Huan and his assistant got out of the car and walked straight into the community.Going around and looking at the number plate of the building all the way, finally came to the door of a family.

"It should be here, the address given by Brother Li..."

The assistant checked the note in his hand again, and confirmed with a sigh of relief.

"Ok!"

With a hum, Shen Huan gently knocked on the door.

"Who!? Cough~"

The old man's questioning voice, accompanied by a few coughs, came from far and near the door, and then the door slowly opened.

An old man with almost white hair stood inside the door, looking at the visitor with doubtful eyes.After just a short glance, the originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.

"Xiao Huan? Why are you here? Come in quickly, alas, aren't you going to the national team for training?"

The old man was very excited, and his originally weak appearance was completely swept away.

"Teacher Hu, I'm going to Yanjing soon, I'll drop by to have a look."

Shen Huan's eyes also flickered, and he followed Coach Hu into the room.

In the newly opened community, the houses are also new. The decoration of the walls and floors is quite ordinary, but it is basically there.However, with the simple and old furniture and furnishings, it seems a bit uncoordinated.

After scanning the general situation of the house, Shen Huan turned his attention to the assistant.

The assistant nodded slightly in understanding.

"What? What's your idea!?"

Pour a glass of water and bring it to the assistant beside Shen Huan. What Coach Hu saw was the "flickering" between the two, he frowned and asked.

"Mr. Hu, it's nothing. Xiao Shen just sees that your furniture and electrical appliances..."

With a respectful half-bow, the assistant took the water glass and explained with a smile.

Coach Hu stared, and interrupted the assistant directly, "Oh, I said Shen Huan, what's the matter? Come to me again to show off?"

Shen Huan looked at Coach Hu, who seemed a little angry, and hurriedly explained, "Teacher Hu, how can you be showing off, you are old, these things are quite old, and it is inconvenient to use!"

"Can't use it when I'm old? Then I'm old, so I have to change it?!"

"Old Hu, how could..."

"Xiao Wei, don't talk. Last time that Xiao Li got me this house, I haven't broken it yet. Even my daughter was dragged in to do work, and she was forced to come in by me. Now, I still plan to What's the matter?"

Coach Hu stared again, "Shen Huan, now that you are famous and rich, are you here to show off? Don't forget that athletes are all youth fans. You are 25 this year. If you run for a few more years, don't run After that, there are still decades to go..."

"Mr. Hu, I'm really not short of money, and I'm not showing off, it's just..." Shen Huan didn't know how to explain it, and was a little anxious.

"Okay, sit down, I'm getting old!"

Coach Hu looked at the anxious two, shook his head and sat down.

How could he not understand the child's mind, but he really didn't do it for this.At the beginning, he tried his best to protect and push desperately, but he didn't want to watch a gifted child go to waste.However, his energy was limited and he couldn't push it out.

Now Shen Huan looks like he has achieved success, he is gratified, since Shen Huan can still remember him, he is satisfied.There is no need for these material things.

His wife left long ago, and only one daughter married to another place long ago, so he didn't need these things.

"Xiao Huan, the teacher is very happy that you have this heart, but don't bother about it in the future. I know you don't need the money now, but the teacher doesn't need it.

You run well, train well, I can often see you on TV.I can still brag with those old guys once in a while, and that's enough for me! "

"Teacher Hu, I will run well!"

Shen Huan nodded seriously, "Mr. Hu, you can come to the stadium to watch my game when the time comes. Someone will come and organize the athletes' families to go to the scene. Sister Lin and I... well, it's the coach The supervisor there, she will come to arrange. My assistant will follow along to help you arrange...

I may not be able to get any good rankings in individual events now, and the best time last year was only 9 seconds.But we have a strong relay and I think there is still a chance..."

"That's right, Mr. Hu, when the time comes, Director Lin will coordinate with the venue and arrange the tickets. I'll pick you up then, and go to Yanjing with Xiao Shen's parents. Well, maybe Director Lin's family I will go too, so we can get closer together.”

"Hmm~"

Coach Hu was a little moved and nodded slightly. He would not refuse this thing.I've never been to the Olympics in my entire life.

"Xiao Shen, practice well with Coach Lin, and you will run well in the race. If you don't understand, you should ask more questions. Don't be afraid of being scolded. It's normal for a coach to scold someone, and it's usually for the good of the athletes... And..."

Coach Hu babbled for a while, and Shen Huan listened patiently.

After he was scolded by Coach Hu for "running away" from his coach a few years ago, he learned to see things clearly.He also gradually learned how to look at things correctly.

In the past, many coaches scolded people, but now the coach's awareness, methods and some principles taught to them, no matter right or wrong, he will try to analyze and understand.He was no longer that inferior boy who pretended to be proud.

Now he is a famous sprinter in China, and a top sprinter who is famous in the world.Two consecutive indoor 60-meter champions and the current 60-meter world record holder.Although Zhao Lin couldn't beat Zhao Lin in the [-]-meter run, his personal best was ranked first in history.

"Okay, just come and see me. I won't keep your food, and now you try not to eat the water and rice outside. Be careful..."

Instructions, heart-to-heart talks, and after a while, it didn't take long.Coach Hu just chatted for a while, and started to chase people away: "Let's go, don't stay with me, I know you are also in a hurry. After the Olympics, we have time to have a good chat!"

"Mr. Hu, then I'm leaving, the car is indeed waiting outside!" Shen Huan didn't procrastinate, he was really in a hurry.He is about to go to the final training camp before the competition, and he will definitely run out of time. He just wants to see the teacher, and he has never had time to come to his new home.

Moreover, he already had some decisions in his mind.He will desperately strive for honors and medals, and he hopes that he can hang his Olympic medals on his first teacher.

The two most important people on his sports path are role models and benefactors.

"Mr. Hu, don't give it away. The car is outside. I'm not allowed to be seen as I walk all the way. Otherwise, it may be a bit troublesome."

At the gate, Shen Huan stopped Coach Hu who was about to send him off.

"Well, then you should pay attention to safety on the road!"

"Xiao Huan, remember, your life has changed, you must cherish this hard-won, and don't forget your original intention..."

All the way, I thought about what Coach Hu said before I left, and I thought about every bit since I met Coach Hu and the coach.

"set off!"

After returning to the car, Chen Huan withdrew all his memories, gave an order calmly, and the car started slowly.

The training camp is about to start, including him, all the people in the national team actually know vaguely that this is a very important Olympics.It was a group of people led by the coach who worked hard to achieve results and opened the beginning of the rise of Huaxia Athletics.
