Return to the top of the road to champions

On February 1991, 2, at ten o'clock in the morning, H Provincial General Administration of Sports.

The Winter Games are over, and the provincial h speed skating team has won four gold medals, two silver medals and two bronze medals.This result made Yu Chengfei shine in a small area in the ice and snow sports in the whole province H, but at this time Yu Chengfei didn't have a smile on his face, and even looked stiffly, with his head down, Yu Chengfei pursed his lips tightly He didn't even look at Yu Yi and Ma Deming who were sitting in front of him, and they were silent.

The expected reaction made Zhang Guoqin, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the joke, laugh out loud, and Zhang Guoqin who chuckled lightly drew Yu Yi's eyes, "Xiao Zhang, you are most familiar with Yu Yu, come and persuade me."

Zhang Guoqin quickly waved his hand at Yu Yi's invitation, "I will not participate in this matter. If you can convince Coach Yu, I will not object, no, and no, as long as Erwa agrees, I have no objection."

The smiling Zhang Guoqin's seemingly relaxed words have already clarified his attitude. To put it bluntly, as long as Tao Wei disagrees, no one can take Tao Wei away.

Helpless, Yu Yi could only look at Ma Deming. Ma Deming, 41 years old, is the head coach of the men's coaching staff of the Chinese Figure Skating Team. This time, at Yu Yi's invitation, he rushed to City A to visit the Winter Games. The development of the ice and snow industry in the three northeastern provinces in recent years is also to screen new players for the national team.

Ma Deming didn't see Tao Wei's first competition. On his first day in province A, he went directly to the figure skating arena. There, Ma Deming, who hid in the crowd and watched silently for two days, only saw a player with good potential. The team member, unfortunately, is a girl.

It would be a lie to say that he is not disappointed, but Ma Deming understands that figure skaters are not easy to choose. Figure skating is an ice sport that combines skill and artistry.Figure skating is the most demanding of athletes.

And the so-called highest requirement does not refer to the body, but the psychology. An excellent figure skater must have an extremely strong psychological quality, and must be able to quickly adjust his mentality in the face of continuous defeat, and this happens to be a lot of problems. An essential element for athletes.

A good figure skater not only has a strong heart, but also has a tenacious and unyielding heart and excellent physical fitness. After summing up one item at a time, Ma Deming, who can only be selected on a large scale, often comes full of hope but is disappointed. return.

Squatting on the figure skating arena for two consecutive days, tired and helpless Ma Deming chatted with Yu Yi at night, the names that Yu Yi uttered several times made Ma Deming a little curious. Outsiders don't know Yu Yi, but with Yu Yi Ma Deming, who has known each other for nearly 15 years, is very aware of Yu Yi's stinginess.

It is extremely rare to get compliments from this old man, but in just one night, according to preliminary calculations, Yu Yi praised Tao Wei at least seven times, and each time he brought out a resilient child.

Several times of praise aroused Ma Deming's curiosity. It happened that the next day was Tao Wei's 3000-meter final. Ma Deming, who could no longer select players from the figure skating field, rushed to the main venue with a trace of curiosity. There, standing in the crowd Ma Deming in Yu Yi met Tao Wei in Yu Yi's mouth for the first time.

With just one glance, Tao Wei's well-proportioned figure attracted Ma Deming's attention. With slender limbs and a well-proportioned figure, Ma Deming's eyes lit up even with a hint of peace. Tao Wei's match began as he approached slowly.

When Tao Wei, who showed his body flexibility perfectly, really showed his full strength, at that moment, Ma Deming felt his whole heart beating violently.

Different from what outsiders see is Tao Wei's rapid galloping, Ma Deming sees more of the flexibility of Tao Wei's joints, perfect cornering, nimble and resilient body, and that age-beyond age. endurance.

At that moment, in Ma Deming's eyes, everything about Tao Wei was prepared for the figure skating career. Seeing Lie Xinxi, Ma Deming hurriedly found Yu Yi without waiting for the end of the competition. One request was Tao Wei.

This request can make Yu Yi very uncomfortable. Others don't know, but Yu Yi knows that Tao Wei is Zhang Guoqin's lifeblood. If Tao Wei is taken away without Zhang Guoqin's permission, Zhang Guoqin can destroy his office. Yi has his own selfishness, and Tao Wei's conditions are really excellent. Yu Yi, who came out of province h himself, still hopes that Tao Wei can stay in province h and play for the speed skating team of province h for a few years. With Cheng Fei and Yang Guocheng's means, Tao Wei will definitely be the well-deserved king of speed skating in the next Winter Games.

But Ma Deming's old face that has been drawn together, who can no longer play the bitter card, and Ma Deming's plight may be said to be that Yu Yi understands the plight of men's figure skating.

In the end, the interests of the country are higher than selfishness. Yu Yi nodded in agreement helplessly, but he also said that Zhang Guoqin and Yu Chengfei must be approved for this matter, and Ma Deming is not allowed to contact Tao Wei in private. Some harsh conditions made Ma Deming laugh from ear to ear.

From Ma Deming's point of view, no matter what the harsh conditions are, as long as the person is in hand, everything is a paper tiger. Ma Deming, who was full of joy, endured it for a few days, and finally waited until the end of the game. Stuck in bed.

Yu Yi, who was angry and helpless, had no choice but to stop Zhang Guoqin before going to work. Yu Yi, who explained his intention with a smile, played a rogue in Zhang Guoqin's meaningful eyes. Fortunately, Zhang Guoqin, who laughed, did not embarrass the two of them. , very bachelor found Yu Chengfei.

But Yu Yi and Ma Deming didn't expect that Yu Chengfei didn't say a word from the moment they opened their mouths, neither objecting nor agreeing, just silently smoking one cigarette after another.

As early as the beginning of Tao Wei's competition, Yu Chengfei, who knew that Tao Wei would not be able to keep him, was also full of bitterness at this time. Yu Chengfei, who did not expect to come so quickly, never thought that the first person to call was the head coach of the figure skating team. .

Although Yu Chengfei didn't know Ma Deming well, he had heard of Ma Deming's name Yu Chengfei. He was the first figure skater in China to participate in a world-class competition, and also the first coach of the Chinese figure skating team. It can even be said that, Unlike other coaches of the national figure skating team, Ma Deming is a real professional figure skating coach.

Thinking of Tao Wei's pale face and deep longing that he wanted to learn figure skating, at this moment, Yu Chengfei was really reluctant to give up, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

Moreover, thinking of Yang Guocheng, Yu Chengfei was even more unable to nod in agreement. After nearly two hours of silence, Yu Chengfei, who was powerless, pressed out the cigarette in his hand and raised his head to look at Yu Yi and Ma Deming who were sitting opposite.

Yu Chengfei, who twitched the corner of his mouth with a trace of bitterness, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "I don't know if it's fate. Tao Wei just said a few days ago that what he really wants to learn is figure skating. Today, you all come to the door and say something from the bottom of your heart." , Tao Wei, I really don’t want to give it to you, not only for our sports team, but for Lao Yang. You may not know that Lao Yang will retire in less than two years. Since Tao Wei joined the team, in order to cultivate Tao Wei, Lao Yang handed over all the players in his hands in order to cultivate Tao Wei wholeheartedly. We are all coaches. It is the greatest honor for every coach to bring out a world champion in our life..."

Yu Chengfei, who paused for a moment, thought that Yang Guocheng's eyes were red because of Tao Wei's day and night, so he pressed his eye sockets hard, and Yu Chengfei, who raised his head, smiled again, "I don't force children, you don't know Tao Wei, then The child is a stubborn and tenacious child, it is enough to win two gold medals for our provincial team, I will take you there now, you can ask Tao Wei yourself, if Tao Wei agrees..."

Gritting his back teeth, Yu Chengfei said word by word, "I'll give it to you."

Yu Chengfei, who suppressed the sadness in his heart, stood up and strode out of the room after finishing speaking, leaving behind a figure of Yu Chengfei who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and asked Ma Deming to close his eyes to block the warmth in his eyes.

Also as a coach, how could Ma Deming not understand the pain and desire of being a coach? What people see is the honor brought by a world champion, but they don’t see the unknown coach hidden behind the champion. It is said that behind every outstanding athlete there are drips of sweat from the coaches.

Ma Deming got up silently, walked out of the room and went downstairs, and saw Yu Chengfei standing at the gate facing the wind. Yu Chengfei's stiff back had hardships that could not be expressed in words.

Silently walked to Yu Chengfei's side, looked at Yu Chengfei with bitter eyes and Ma Deming pursed his lips, "Coach Yu, whether Tao Wei is willing or not, on behalf of the figure skating team, I would like to thank you for your fulfillment today, you may not I know how unfair our country is in the world of figure skating. It can be said that in the eyes of foreigners, figure skating is not a Chinese sport. It is impossible for the Chinese to have excellent figure skaters. Coach Yu said that the conditions are difficult I admit it, but I don't admit that our country does not have outstanding athletes. Technically, we are indeed inferior to those veteran teams abroad, but I, Ma Deming, refuse to accept it. Really, to be honest, we don't lack arms and legs. It is said that our athletes have worked much harder than those foreigners. What is the difference between our players? Why do we get discrimination wherever we go? For this, I have traveled all over the country, as long as I heard that there are good seedlings I will go, to be honest, I have coached for 15 years, and I have not spent a year at home, I just want to prove to the arrogant foreigners in the world that our country has the best players in the world."

The deep and hoarse confession touched Yu Chengfei's heart. The country is difficult, and the athletes are even more difficult. Yu Chengfei, who has traveled across the country, only needs to think of the athlete's special area and team that were arranged in a small corner when he participated in the Asian Games for the first time. There was a sigh, and there was a burning sensation in the chest.

Sighing deeply, when Yu Yi and Zhang Guoqin came to the door, a group of people drove to the sports team. Instead of looking for Tao Wei directly, they found Yang Guocheng. When the gray-haired Yang Guocheng appeared in the conference room , Even Ma Deming was embarrassed, Ma Deming couldn't bear it, couldn't bear to tell this old coach who had dedicated his life to the ice and snow career that he wanted his beloved disciple.

But with just one glance, Yang Guocheng knew that what he didn't want to face but had to face had finally come. Yang Guocheng paused for a moment, suppressing the bitterness in his heart and showing a gentle smile. His eyes were directly aimed at the unfamiliar Ma Deming. The clarity in his eyes made the bitter Yu Chengfei smile wryly, "Lao Yang, this is Ma Deming, the head coach of the National Figure Skating Team."

Yu Chengfei, who revealed Ma Deming's identity lightly, silently looked at Yang Guocheng, who had a smile on his face, but his eyes were sore Tao Wei couldn't export it no matter what.

Walking among the unusually silent people, Yang Guocheng, who pulled out a stool and sat down, sighed, "It must be because of Tao Wei."

Yang Guocheng, who spoke first, could no longer hide the bitterness in his hoarse voice, which silenced everyone. Even Yu Chengfei, who understood Ma Deming's difficulties, couldn't say a word.

In the silence between each other, Yang Guocheng let out a long breath, closed his eyes, squeezed out a smile and stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll go find Tao Wei."

After speaking, Yang Guocheng, who strode out of the meeting room, stood at the top of the stairs, his chest was stagnant and his eyes were sore, could he still not be able to stay?Walking slowly, Yang Guocheng, who kept questioning himself, actually knew that Ma Deming's arrival had already explained everything. It was a pity, but at this moment, Yang Guocheng was more reluctant.

But no matter how reluctant he was, Yang Guocheng, who had come all the way, found Tao Wei who was training in the training hall. When Tao Wei, who was sweating profusely, ran to him and showed a habitual smile, Yang Guocheng took a deep breath , "Tao Wei, coach Ma Deming of the national figure skating team is here."

Just one sentence made the smile on Tao Wei's face froze immediately, and the figure full of guilt was all in his mind, Ma Deming suddenly closed his eyes, and Tao Wei, who was all stiff from top to bottom, felt a deep sense of timidity in his heart.

But immediately, Tao Weiteng, who was frozen all over, opened his eyes and looked at Yang Guocheng. With just one glance, Tao Wei suddenly felt an uncontrollable sourness in his chest. Although Yang Guocheng's face was still gentle at this time, the bitterness in his eyes seemed to be As if overflowing, subconsciously grabbed Yang Guocheng's hand, "Coach..."

Nervous Tao Wei grabbed Yang Guocheng's hand tightly, and the tightness from his fingers made Yang Guocheng's nose ache, and he slightly turned his head to look into the distance. While holding back the warmth, he became more and more reluctant. They were silent for a long time, until Yang Guocheng, who was in good mood again, looked at Tao Wei with a sad face again, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and touched the top of Tao Wei's head. The faint flash of thought in Yang Guocheng's heart resurfaced again, and he took Tao Wei's little hand, "Go Bar."

The gentle voice and the peace of the past made Tao Wei, who was timid to face Ma Deming and worried about Yang Guocheng, feel as if he was tied to a huge stone, and he couldn't move his steps.

Walking slowly, Tao Wei is in a dilemma, wishing for a farther distance and a closer distance, but regardless of the distance, the conference room is in front of him. When standing at the door of the conference room and seeing Ma Deming, who is full of guilt, Tao Wei A fire seemed to ignite in his heart in an instant, and the scorching heat that seemed to swallow the whole body swept Tao Wei in an instant.
