The women's doubles final is being broadcast live on TV, even though there are no Chinese team members participating.

There are seven or eight windows stacked on the screen of the notebook spread out on the table, and the endless digging-style reports from the domestic media make people feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed. The headline "Guo Yu defeated Paris, the men's doubles may become the last hope to win the championship" was full of anger and shocking.

Mr. Zhong was lying on his back on the bed, quietly puffing out smoke rings, and the dense fog of anxiety blocked the small dark room, making it suffocating.

His heart was like a mess, wishing that tomorrow's men's doubles final would start now, and then end quickly, so that his tense and exhausted mind would be relieved earlier; but he was also afraid that the day of the final would come too early, Xiao Yu and Xiangzi were the first after all. Participating in the Olympics once, these two children are usually stubborn and cool in front of their teammates, and they are already the pillars of the team, but can they handle it at critical moments?

Based on years of experience in leading the team, Zhong Quanhai's heart trembled faintly. This round of the Olympics is likely to be a threshold in his life.

It is impossible to be lucky all the time and everything goes well, there is always a time when the tiger falls into Pingyang and loses to Wujiang River.In the past, the booth was too big, the media was too ostentatious, the limelight was too strong, and too many enemies were made.As everyone knows, the more prosperous and active this team is, the more people are staring at this territory.Those eyes like thieves are thinking about watching you encounter a certain unforgivable mistake or mistake, and then attack it in groups, making it worse.

Xiao Yu knocked on the door, and walked in without waiting for the people inside to answer.

Zhong Quanhai was taken aback for a moment, and managed to pull himself together: "Xiao Yu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Zhong, let me chat with you."

Xiao Yu closed the door tightly.His voice was deep and hoarse, his eye sockets were swollen, and he was not as energetic as before, which made Zhong Quanhai feel anxious immediately. The finals will be played tomorrow night, and my fame, official position and official career are all tied to you, boy, are you kidding me again? What kind of moth?

He smiled and comforted: "Xiao Yu, are you not feeling well? Hehe, you are under too much pressure. Don't take the gossip on the Internet seriously. Don't read those tongue-in-cheek things before the game." Young athletes have pre-match nervousness syndrome , couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and seriously needed to take sleeping pills. He had seen a lot.

Xiao Yu shook his head indifferently: "Mr. Zhong, I'm not feeling sick. I'm feeling comfortable after I reached the final. It's because Bingbing is not feeling well. That child is so hurt that he's about to die. What is our team going to do with Bingbing?"

Mr. Zhong was taken aback, with an unnatural expression on his face: "Cough, Xiaoyu, you don't need to worry about Tan Bing. There is a team doctor to take care of him. Xiaoyu, you can concentrate on playing tomorrow's game!"

"Mr. Zhong, why did Tan Bing sprain his ankle in the semi-finals? Did you tell him to sprain his ankle on purpose after playing? It hurts so much. Why did you let him abuse himself so badly? Park Bong-joo twisted his ankle and had to abstain. Park Bong-joo is 33, the last international game What a pity that I couldn't play in the Olympic finals before leaving the competition. But what is Tan Bing?!"

Zhong Quanhai's complexion changed, he didn't understand why Xiao Yu suddenly made an attack.His face seemed to be boiling, with red and white bubbling and bubbling: "Xiaoyu, what do you mean? What is Tan Bing talking to you about?"

Xiao Yu asked back: "Such an obvious handicap, there is no need for him to bluff, how could I not see it?"

Boss Zhong raised his eyebrows, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief secretly. The kid was stubborn, because he felt upset about letting the ball go, and asked the leader to play with his temper.The role played by the leader is sometimes like a toilet plug, unclogging any eye that is blocked.

"Xiaoyu, I understand what you want to say. Are you wronged for Tan Bing? We didn't let Tan Bingwei's feet, and this kid did too... The coaching staff also made careful consideration. We believe that arranging you and Xiangzi to play in the final is the best thing for the overall situation." Favorable outcome."

Boss Zhong shook his head innocently, unable to figure out why Binghua made such a move. He rolled on the floor in pain, as if he was using self-mutilation to vent his dissatisfaction with the decision of the superior, but he was hurting himself. Soup Cup qualifications may be affected, so why bother?

"Oh, is this kind of 'arrangement' the most beneficial to win the gold medal? Mr. Zhong, besides the brand and the performance summary report that the class teacher handed in to the leader after returning to court, what else do you care about?" something?"

Xiao Yu knew that he was making excuses at this moment.

Is he for Tan Bing?

Not only because of Tan Bing.

But he couldn't control his emotions.He has experienced too many things these days, like riding a roller coaster, and his mood has experienced ups and downs several times. The "willpower" and "sense of direction" that he was most proud of in the past have been isolated from him.

Zhong Quanhai had never been questioned so sharply by his team members.He counterattacked in astonishment: "Xiao Yu, what are you talking about?! You are a member of the national team. What you need to keep in mind at all times is that you are an athlete trained by this country! What's wrong with the handicap? Is it because I, Zhong Quanhai, let the ball go? I tell you this is the Olympic Games! The strategic interests of the Olympic delegation headquarters are above all else!"

"Athletes are also living people with flesh and blood, and we are not machines for playing games! Don't you understand how much psychological damage and blows such as letting the ball do to an athlete? What's more, Tan Bing, you all know that he is not healthy. Well, he can't bear it, or if we didn't bring him out at the beginning, the child has reached the semi-finals in five games, and then kill the donkey, is this going to ruin him?"

Zhong Quanhai's face suddenly turned into a red persimmon: "What do you mean by killing the donkey? Sacrifice your personal honor for the gold medal of the whole country and destroy him? The team is reasonable, and we will also compensate Tan Bing. The team will use discretion." Give him bonuses; if you and Xiangzi win the championship, Tan Bing's provincial team will also get corresponding gold medal points compensation in the National Games..."

When Xiao Yu heard this, a sad smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly leaned back in the chair, looking at Zhong Quanhai, showing the indifference and exhaustion after Qian Fan died.

That look made Mr. Zhong feel very strange, is the child in front of him Xiao Yu?

Is it the cheerful and easy-going Xiao Yu he knows who gets along well with everyone?

He expected that Tan Bing might have a depression attack, and even thought that Cheng Hui would go to the coaching staff to throw pots and stoves, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to run in front of him and make trouble for no reason.

"Mr. Zhong, I'm not a three-year-old child. Don't fool me. I know what your so-called 'compensation' is. It's compensation for those officials of the Provincial Sports Bureau who rely on the number of gold medals as their official achievements! They can take these things that athletes have exchanged for grievances, and show off to their superiors to the local media how many world champions and Olympic champions they have trained with their wise and powerful leadership!

"Does this kind of compensation have any meaning for athletes? It's like a pregnant woman who is about to give birth after a hard pregnancy in October. You cut out the baby in other people's stomach, take it away, and give it to others, and then say we will send you a 'Mother of Heroes' sign as compensation? Do we fucking need these 'compensations'!!!"

Xiao Yu didn't know why he suddenly became so sharp and unrelenting.

In the past few years, I have become accustomed to disguising and packaging myself as a 20-year-old kid, heartless, enjoying himself, engaging in life, falling in love, and living a pretty nourishing and beautiful life.But facing the person in front of him, he had a late awareness of the blood relationship, and then he woke up and was startled and angry, and he was covered with a defensive armor with hostility.Once he peeled off that layer of hypocritical rabbit skin, he found that he still had canine teeth.

Scenes of the past slip by in front of our eyes, like ungraspable words and phrases disappearing with the wind, and the residue filtered out in the end is the most colorful fragment of life, which becomes a deep imprint embedded in the long time, which cannot be erased or discarded.

"Mr. Zhong, if Bingbing is so useless, what will he do in the future? After leaving the gate of the national team, who cares about him? He has never studied in college, has no world championship title, and there are so many athletes who retire every year and wait for placement. There are only a few holes in the various sports organizations in the province, and they have long been filled by people who are rich, famous, and have championship honors! Our leader will introduce him to work, right? The unlucky ones eliminated by the gymnastics team and the diving team , I went to the provincial acrobatic troupe to step on stilts, jump through fire rings, and hang somersaults in the middle of the air. They are the same type of work as the bears rented from the zoo! We play badminton, what can we do with this skill? Mr. Zhong, I know What can I do - go to the club to play with those rich bosses like an escort lady, and get a few rewards!"

The more Xiao Yu spoke, the more excited he became, and tears welled up.The past that has already been made is superimposed with the vivid figures around him, and a sharp pain wrings out in my heart.

At that moment, he fell into a trance, his whole head was immersed in extremely deep water, surrounded by white flowers, and only the rushing water was left in his ears.He was sucked by the torrent and fell into the abyss, drifting from that extremely desolate and failed life to such an unknown period.

Zhong Quanhai's whole shoulders were trembling, and he suddenly stood up from the bed, his face showing the anger and rage of being stabbed in the back by someone close to him.

The crimson twisted and tangled expressions of the two people caught in the dispute are so alike, as if they were two faces carved out of the same mold, with the same broken and ups and downs of emotions.The difference is that at this time one is standing on this shore and the other is standing on the other shore. There is a deep gap in the middle, which cannot be bridged, and the dawn at the end of the road cannot be seen.

Zhong Quanhai stretched out a trembling finger, and swore to the sky: "Xiao Yu, I did nothing wrong! You like fighting against injustice, you are compassionate, you have a use for your ass! One thing you will eventually understand, if Tan Bing comes to society in the future It’s not good, it’s because he has a cowardly personality and limited ability! The coaching staff didn’t ‘arrange’ him to play in this final. It’s because he’s not as good as you! They are all players trained by me. Do I have any grudge against him? I deliberately treated him harshly Is it? His strength is that he can't get this gold medal, and I, Zhong Quanhai, dare to win this ticket!"

"That doesn't matter at all! What matters is whether you gave him this chance!"

Xiao Yu's tears finally broke down, and he cried and said: "Even if he is strong, he will never be number one. You can't deprive an athlete of his right to fight for honor and dignity after fighting for so many years. You didn't give him How do you know he can’t do it if you try the chance? In my last life, I didn’t even touch the threshold of the national team. I lived like a fucking dog. Who knew I could win the championship today?! I’m number one in the world! When the national team didn't open the door to me, who of you knew that I could do it too!

"For you people, any athlete who gets this gold medal is your credit, and it is a simple and cold number in your performance report. But for an athlete, this medal is his struggle for more than ten years. Can't you fulfill his last pitiful thought!"

"I was a goddamn athlete back then, do you think I don't understand this truth, haven't I tasted these things!"

Tears welled up in Zhong Quanhai's eyes, white hair appeared on his forehead, and his veins throbbed.He couldn't understand what Xiao Yu meant by "last life".He has a kind of depression and desolation that wants to bang his head against the wall. He went to the sky to smash the wall, drill holes, hide the truth and work hard for half his life, but he was scolded by people poking his back, especially the person who accused him was him. Xiao Yu is the most important love general.

At that moment, he thought of Xiao Aiping, the only woman in his life who had real affection.The palm of the hand is the career, the back of the hand is the lover, the palms of the hands and the back of the hand are connected to the tendons and the heart, and the pain of cutting off a piece of meat for the sake of another piece of meat has been the biggest resentment accumulated in his heart for half his life.

"Xiao Yu, do you think I have never experienced the path you have taken? Have I never conceded the ball or been sacrificed? Let me tell you, Xiao Yu, every athlete has survived like this. Can you survive? It is your ability and good fortune to win the world championship! You are a beneficiary of this system when you eat this food in the system of this country. The country spends money to support you, and your sports life belongs to the country. Xiao Yu, you are purely You have to be cheap and act good, what right do you have to be picky about the system!"

One sentence hit Xiao Yu's pain point, and he roared angrily: "Just because of me, I could have won this semi-final, and won it openly! Xiangzi and I have the ability to win this gold medal, no matter how difficult it is for the two of us I can bear it! Why do you have to, you have to...You embarrass me like this, make me lose face, and make my grades stained with stains that can never be washed off!"

Zhong Quanhai waved away a thick stack of tactical analysis and technical statistics on the corner of the bed, and the paper fell like snowflakes from the two people's eyes along with tears.

He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yu's shoulders, staring at each other, his eyes were bloodshot: "You can get this gold medal? You think you are talented because of you, Xiao Yu, what the hell is it?" From the resignation of the Tartars to today's once-in-a-century genius, you can win the Olympic championship? Without this team, you are nothing! There are so many training partners, second-line players, and assistant coaches in the national team. The country spends hundreds of millions and billions every year. Put in, our team’s funding is ten times that of the Malaysian team, how do you think you got the world champion! You are stepping on countless unknown coaches who have dedicated their lives but got nothing And athletes, without these people as stepping stones for you, do you think you can win the world championship? What do you do? What do you do!!!!!"

The back of Xiao Yu's head was pressed against the wall, tears streaming down his face, his shoulders trembling in Zhong Quanhai's palm.The bright red fingerprints left by the opponent when he was furious were embedded in his arm, but he couldn't feel the pain.

He didn't know what his reasoning was, maybe he had really changed from the bumpkin carrying his luggage into the headquarters compound a few years ago. The higher he stood, the farther he looked, the more things he had on his mind.

The teammates who came along side by side, Tongge, Tangtang, Binghua, left one by one, or fell down. There were fewer and fewer people walking together, which made him afraid, made him feel guilty, and made him hardly dare to face up to the occupation under his feet. It is as if what I am stepping on under my feet are the shoulders of my companions who withered early and ruined their youth one after another.

The great honor that comes suddenly, the throne of the pinnacle, does not seem to have been climbed up after untold hardships and painstaking efforts, but was erected and dragged to the top, and the glorious dream coexisted with humiliation and sweat under one's feet The long and slow road, step by step, bloody footprints.

Xiao Yu buried his face in his palm tremblingly, choked up and said incoherently: "I, I, you are right, I just can't figure it out, does it mean that an Olympic champion should be exchanged for the grievances of so many people? Why do we do this, we Is it worth it... I succeeded, I am number one in the world, but this kind of handicap will become the subject of criticism from the fans after dinner, how will I face my teammates in the future? Who can share the joy of success and fame with me?!"

Some words are stuck in my throat and I can't say them.If everyone knows in the future that it was my own father who made such a handicap decision, what will my teammates think, and what will fans across the country think of me?

The supreme Olympic glory plan in the system will inevitably require the sacrifice of countless people who are willing to stand on the ladder.Back then, you sacrificed my mother to fulfill you, but today you sacrifice others to fulfill me?So what if you don't win the Olympic champion, I have something in my heart that is more precious than the champion, do you understand that you are a father?

Xiao Yu looked at Mr. Zhong exhaustedly, and with just one glance, it seemed to push away the people who were close at hand from thousands of miles away.

Dad's chest was in front of his eyes, but he couldn't lean on it and stick it to his face.

The eyes of the two are level, and the other's face is reflected in the pupils in a trance.The strange brilliance flowed out into a vortex, merging the eyes of the two people, and each of them looked at their own face that was red and white and furious from the other's eyes.

At the moment when they turned their faces against each other, their flesh and blood were torn apart, dripping with blood.

Xiao Yu seemed to have a knife stuck in his chest, and every harsh word was like slapping his face and twisting his heart.For the sake of myself and for the other party, no matter what, I can't tell the truth. It's better not to recognize each other forever, and become a stranger to this person.

He forcefully opened Zhong Quanhai's fingers, and Mr. Zhong chased him unwillingly and yelled, "Xiao Yu, let me tell you, what you need to do now is not to swear here and quarrel with me, what you need to do is to give me the champion in the final tomorrow." Take back!"

Xiao Yu turned his head: "Don't worry, I have to get this champion back no matter what I say. Not for myself, but for Tan Bing's half of the gold medal in the National Games, I have to help him get this medal Come back! I will definitely win this championship, Mr. Zhong, sit in the room and wait for the gold medal!"

When Xiao Yu said this, his expression was proud and cold, watching Zhong Quanhai collapse in extreme disappointment.

He has always secretly regarded Xiao Yu as his most proud disciple, not only because of his personal love for Xiao Aiping, but also because of his pure appreciation of this kid's character and ability, tenacity, persistence, willingness to endure hardships, passion and domineering on the court. , I will not give up until the goal is reached.

He originally planned to promote Xiao Yu as the vice-captain after the Olympics, and he could have directly promoted him, but Xiao Yu was too young, and he was afraid that the old man would not accept it.If he trains himself a successor among this group of players in the future, Zhong Quanhai thinks that he will choose Xiao Yu without hesitation, because he knows that Xiao Yu is fully capable of taking the position he is currently sitting in.

But I didn't expect to have today.

When he valued Xiao Yu far more than his subconscious jealousy towards an unknown man, when he raised this child as his godson!

The moment the door closed, he roared hoarsely towards Xiao Yu's back, slammed his fist hard on the wall next to the door, and two lines of tears flashed across the creases of his eyes.

"Xiao Yu, why do you accuse me! I, Zhong Quanhai, have lived a life of integrity, I love my country, I love my team! I have devoted my whole life to this team and to the country. I am justified and have a clear conscience!  … ...I have a clear conscience!!!!!!!!!"
