[Ma Long] Dragon and Phoenix Dance

"Yu Su, you are so lazy and do not engage in business, which makes the contemporary music scene very lonely."

The editor-in-chief of this interview is Yu Su who has known each other since his debut. From the intern reporter to the current editor-in-chief, they are peers who have witnessed each other’s growth. Therefore, the questions and tone of the dialogue between the two parties are not too formal and formal, and more More casual exchanges.

"You are too exaggerated!!" Yu Su soberly refused the other party's flattery, and retorted, "There are so many outstanding newcomers in the Chinese music scene every year, and they are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain. There are not many more than me. One less than me."

"It's too modest. You three (the top three in the draft) represent an era in the Chinese music scene."

Yu Su continued to retort helplessly, "Really, don't say that."

The editor-in-chief gently raised the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the traces were quite obvious to change the topic, "Ma Long is on the team, isn't he an older one?"

"Ma Long is not just too big..." Yu Su replied to him, "He is the oldest active player in the national table tennis team."

"Have you ever thought about retiring? A 32-year-old veteran who has spanned three Olympic Games and achieved a super grand slam. It's time to let go of this string after becoming famous."

"He still has the desire to win, he still has this ability, and he wants to continue to climb, so he won't want to retire." Yu Su didn't answer the question of whether to retire, but just extended, "Besides, he won't leave The Chinese table tennis team is the place that carries his half-life dream! Even if he retires, his strings will be tightened again in other fields."

The editor-in-chief caught the point of Yu Su's words and asked, "You mean, Ma Long will return to the national team as a coach after retiring?"

"I don't have any particular meaning, it's just my habitual thinking." Yu Su explained to him with a smile, "Besides, Ma Long is still the captain of the Chinese table tennis team, and he still has a schedule and the ability to win the championship. Thoughts about his state."

"Just now you modestly denied that you guys represented the Chinese music scene of an era; then do you think Ma Long and his fellow athletes represent the Chinese table tennis world of an era?"

"I don't think so." Yu Su firmly denied.

The other party was surprised and prepared to refute Yu Su in a matter-of-fact manner, and first reminded, "It is hypocrisy to be too modest."

"I'm not humble, it's because you said it wrong." Yu Su made a big smile, with a confident light in his eyes, "Ma Long represented an era in the world table tennis with his own efforts!"

(I personally think that among the same group of athletes, the five consecutive championships in the 2011-2014 competition is Zhang Jike's personal era.

The personal era belonging to Malone continues from 2015 to now.

In the future, the world's table tennis players will compete with each other. I hope that the Chinese table tennis team will have an absolutely outstanding leader. Now it seems that Fan Zhendong has the strongest strength, the greatest advantage, and the highest possibility.I hope Xiaopang will live up to expectations, come on! )

On the day of Long Bao's 3rd birthday, Yu Su took him into the training venue of the Chinese table tennis team for the first time.Every time I took him to see Malone before, it was only in the athlete's dormitory, and he had never been to the stadium.

"<China-country-ping-pong-ball-team>" Yu Su took Long Bao by the hand, squatted in front of him, looked at him parallel to him, pointed to the big characters on the gate, and said to him solemnly, " This is where Dad spent countless sweats and spent half his life as a soldier."

Long Bao looked up at the gate, and at such a young age, an unspeakable respect suddenly surged in his heart.

Last night, Yu Su asked Long Bao what birthday gift he wanted at dinner, Long Bao's eyes lit up at the time, and he said to tell her secretly later.Until nine o'clock at night, Long Bao, who had finished table tennis practice with Zhang Jike, came to find Yu Su. The ignorant child told his mother about his future dreams. He said that he wanted to learn table tennis and become a great table tennis player like his father!He wants to be the pride of his mother, the pride of his father, and hopes to win glory for the motherland.

Yu Su didn't say much last night, but said that he would take him to a place tomorrow.

This morning, Yu Su woke up Long Bao at six o'clock in the morning, and the two arrived at the stadium at seven o'clock. At this time, the place was still very quiet, there was no sound of 'ping-pong-pong' hitting the ball, nor did they break the limit during training. roar.

"Mom brought you here to let you know, and also to let you see, what kind of road you need to walk in the future if you decide to become a table tennis player."

Yu Su held Long Bao's hand and led him to the hall piously. Every step here carries the purest dream of all table tennis players. As time goes by, the dream will either be realized or crushed. broken.

Malone has never wanted his son to become a professional table tennis player.He himself has achieved what he has achieved today from this system, and he knows how boring, lonely and difficult the road is.Talent, hard work, hard work, inspiration... Becoming a top table tennis player requires too many qualities. The coach can only teach half of it, and the rest can only be explored by yourself. It is complicated but indispensable.

Therefore, Ma Long played with Long Bao mainly for the entertainment between parents and children, not for the purpose of teaching; Accompanied by Long Bao's training and mental counseling, the child seemed to feel the joy of his father's victory in the video.

They walked into the arena. At this time, in the empty space, two rows of tables neatly filled the space, and a banner with red background and yellow letters was hung on the most conspicuous place.

Yu Su told him that it said 'the honor of the motherland is above all else', which is the vow of his father and all his predecessors to fight for it all his life.

Over time, everything here naturally became a sacred and solemn place in Long Bao's eyes.

"Mom," Long Bao pulled Yu Su's hand, and asked her in a childish voice, "Is this where Dad practiced?"

"Yes."

"Are godfather and uncle too?"

"Yes! And Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Qin, Uncle Wang Hao, Uncle Ma Lin, Uncle Little Fatty, Auntie Ding Ning, Auntie Xiaozaoer, Sister Shasha... Dad's elders and brothers and sisters are all training here, here After growing up, I still choose to come back here after retiring to continue my dream." Yu Su told Long Bao slowly, hoping to explain clearly to him in words, "If you want to come here to study and train like them, Struggle. You have to put in 100% effort to achieve it. And when you are lucky enough to achieve this goal, coming here is the place where your dream begins. However, my mother will also tell you that there is no absolute in competitive sports, only Success or failure! Even if you put in 100% effort, you may not be able to reach the same height as your father."

Yu Su is not cruel, she even hopes that the child can inherit his father's achievements more than Ma Long, but the premise is that she must be sure whether the child really chooses to be like his father and embark on the road of a professional athlete.

"Son, this is a winding, steep and lonely road, are you sure you want to climb?"

……

"Mom," he looked at the stadium for a long time, looking at the banners in the stadium, his ignorant eyes seemed to be gradually gathering, he looked up at Yu Su, the little person's eyes were shockingly tenacious, "Yes ……I am sure!"
