[Ma Long] Dragon and Phoenix Dance

The team bus drove from the dormitory building to the venue early in the morning. When Ma Long got off the bus, he saw his wife and son sitting on the stairs at the entrance of the venue. The mother and son held their chins in their hands while looking up at his direction , following him with the same movements and the same eyes, like a big and small version of Yu Su, which feels quite cute.

"Why did you come to the stadium?" Ma Long ran two steps towards them with his training bag on his back, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't there an appointment, isn't Long Bao's birthday party in the evening?"

"My son has decided on a present for his third birthday, and I'm here to discuss it with you."

"Huh?" Ma Long tilted his head slightly even more puzzled. He knew very well that Yu Su was not a person who didn't know how to measure. Since he brought his children to the venue to look for him early in the morning, there must be important things to decide, " What is it?"

Yu Su turned his face sideways, lowered his head and said to Long Bao, "Son, tell Dad yourself."

"Father," Long Bao stood up from the stairs, raised his head and said to Ma Long seriously, "I want to learn table tennis, and I want to become a table tennis player just like you."

[In reason, unexpected]

Ma Long, like Yu Su, did not agree or refuse immediately, but applied to Qin Zhijian for Long Bao to watch their training process in the arena today.Athletes do not only have fierce battles and powerful moments on the field, but more of the accumulation of cricketing, jockeying and training on the field.

Table tennis is very sacred to Ma Long, and everything he has is given by table tennis!In Ma Long's mind, Long Bao didn't know how much effort it takes to become a professional athlete. Competitive sports are very cruel. There is only one Olympic champion every four years in this world. Not everyone who works hard to learn table tennis can Be Malone.

Yu Su did not enter the hall to accompany Long Bao, but left him alone and went home first.She didn't want her son to be on the sidelines when he made a decision.

After Ma Long and Qin Zhijian brought Long Bao in, he was the only one standing alone on the sidelines watching the figures of his familiar uncles, aunts and coaches sweating on the table.

When the child first came in, he was at a loss standing alone in the field. Everyone around him was concentrating on training, but he stood alone.But after about 10 minutes, his eyes were attracted by the players on each table, especially Ma Long and Fan Zhendong. He was fascinated by it.

"Dragon~~ It's rare for a child to be interested. If you want to learn, let him learn first." Xu Xin quietly walked to Ma Long's side when he was resting, and persuaded him, "Why do you have to be so serious? How can you scare him?" good."

"You know, I never thought of letting him take the path of a professional athlete. It's too difficult. Besides, he's only three years old now." Ma Long looked at his son who was concentrating on watching the game not far away. The yearning and enthusiasm are exactly the same as myself, "Once he makes a decision, I hope he will not change. No matter what the future holds, at least he is not allowed to regret his past choices."

"Competitive sports, there are no absolutes." Xu Xin couldn't say anything that could give Ma Long confidence. He played since elementary school, and his teammates disappeared one after another.Looking around now, I find that the partners around me have long since disappeared, and there are very few teammates left who can stand side by side. This is the cruelty of competitive sports. "Give him a chance. After all, he is my godson. After I retire, I will take him with me!"

"Pull it down," Ma Long said to Xu Xin with a smile, "he is still young, not yet at the level where you can personally guide him."

Xu Xin retorted with a smile, "Why not, isn't Ji Keer teaching him now?"

"Yes, Long Bao is lucky in this respect." Ma Long guessed the reason for his son's decision. Zhang Jike must have put in a lot of thought and effort during this period, "I will explain to Zhang Lei when I go back. Basically, we need to find a coach."

At noon, after Ma Long and Xu Xin had a meal, they led Long Bao to sit at the same dining table.Director Qin saw them from the corner of his eye, and quickly ate dinner and walked over to occupy the last seat at the four-corner table.

"Hello, Grandpa Qin."

"Hey~~~ Long Bao is so good!" When Qin Zhijian heard the reason why Ma Long asked him to let Long Bao enter the stadium to watch the team training in the morning, he already wanted to ask carefully, but he could only have time until lunch , and asked Long Baodao with a smile, "How do you feel watching everyone train in the morning?"

Long Bao's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he replied excitedly, "I like it!!"

Director Qin deliberately teased him, "It's not boring, I only practice the same movement all morning."

"Not boring! A little bit is not boring!!!"

Long Bao's immature voice and tone made several elders at the scene laugh, especially Xu Xin who was facing Long Bao, couldn't help stretching out his hands from across the table to pinch Long Bao's little cheek.

Undoubtedly, Xu Xin didn't succeed, because he was once again slapped down by Director Qin's quick and merciless palm, and he still grinned in pain.

"Is the game better or the training better?"

"Hmm..." Long Bao seemed to be caught in a dilemma when he heard Qin Zhijian's question.

Seeing the serious look of the child, Xu Xin asked in puzzlement, "Baby~~ What's there to think about? The competition is so exciting!"

"No," Long Bao retorted to Xu Xin, "They're all pretty!"

"Really?" Malone's voice sank obviously, deliberately putting some pressure on the child, "Why?"

"Yes," Long Bao continued to think for a long while before replying, "Training is for better performance on the field! My mother told me that if you don't work hard and persist in training, you won't win the game." What Su said to him this morning, I kept firmly in my heart, "Dad, I want to win, I want to win!"

Ma Long and Xu Xin took Long Bao home after training in the afternoon.Today is Long Bao's third birthday, Yu Su held a small birthday party for him at home with only a few people in attendance.

"Why are you worried about Long Bao's enlightenment? I am a grand slam anyway, so I can't teach your children?" Zhang Jike immediately objected when Ma Long said he wanted to find a basic table tennis coach for Long Bao.

"Zhang Jike, are you making trouble?" Xu Xin glanced at Zhang Jike next to him, pretending to be serious and said, "It's business."

"No trouble, among the three Chinese table tennis players sitting on the table, I am the first to win the Olympic championship and Grand Slam!" Zhang Jike expressed his thoughts solemnly, "I will be the first coach for Long Bao, More than enough."

"It's not that you 'can't do it', but that you think Long Bao's 'can't do it'." As a mother, Yu Subai explained truthfully, "Ma Long is his father, Zhang Jike is his coach, you let us How much pressure will Jia Longbao face in the future?"

Zhang Jike felt that this was not a problem. As someone who had experienced it, he gave the answer confidently, "Just how much pressure can this have? Before entering the national team, all the pressure was just a drop in the bucket! Not only is it harmless, but it may also help his ability to withstand pressure in the future. "

"Before we just used it as entertainment and exercise, and didn't use too many professional skills to teach Longbao." Ma Long also said from a professional point of view, "But now, Longbao needs to learn from the basics, and the coach must be stable."

Zhang Jike smiled, touched Long Bao's head lightly with his palm, and replied with a smile, "Long, I'm not sure if it's too far away, but before Long Bao enters the youth team, I promise I can!"
