Rebirth Tianyu Tianxiang [Badminton]

The willow trees are twirling, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. In March, the members of the national team went to the annual Asian Badminton Championships collectively.The previous group of players had just returned from the Super Tournament finals, and not long after they had recuperated, this group was about to go to Busan again.

In the finals last month, two gold medals were brought back for women's singles and women's doubles.The domestic media reports have revealed the sage tone of the prophet. The men's singles regretted losing the gold medal, the mixed doubles did not reach the final, and the men's doubles did not see anyone at all. As long as it is mixed with the Y chromosome, it can be How embarrassing and embarrassing it is to compare to you, it is too miserable for fans all over the country to see, the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang are simply a group infectious disease that plagues the Chinese sports world!

For the Asian Championships this month, the main players stayed in the rear to rest, and Mr. Zhong decided to send a group of second-line players to train for the Asian Championships.

Of course, the official caliber given to the media is that the first-team players have just finished playing in the finals, and they will play in the All England next month, which is too tiring.

The real situation that everyone knows internally is that the Asian Championships are purely tasteless, and they belong to the second category of intercontinental points competitions. The points are much lower than the World Championships and the All England Championships.Famous world-class players are not uncommon to participate, but they give up completely because they are afraid of offending the Badminton Federation. Like the big brothers of the Chinese team who have always been kind and brotherly to the outside world, we have to send a few people out to make fun of it.

So the men's singles team sent Lu Jing and Tang Xiaodong, and the men's doubles team went to Xiao Yuzhanxiang, Tan Bing and Liu Xuening.

This is also the first time for the fledgling young player Xiao Yu to represent his country in an intercontinental competition; it is also the first time for the new pair of Xiao Yu Zhanxiang to appear in an international competition.

Before leaving, Chen Jiong and Zhuo Yang cheered Xiao Yu up: Come on, Xiao Yu, you must strive for success!You first go out to help the class brothers explore the road, and walk the road. Next year, the buddies will also go out for a walk!

The two children howled in Hokkien dialect, "Three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, hard work--you will win--ooo", a grassroots saliva song by Balabala, howled so much that the two children were embarrassed Goosebumps on the neck.

Tang Xiaodong and his veteran team members showed their years of experience in playing games abroad, and instructed Xiao Yu, silly boy, to leave a space in the suitcase, why are you stuffing so many messy things with you? You have to bring delicious food. ,delicious!

What delicious food do you want to bring?Xiao Yu has never been abroad, he is just a frivolous old man, and in the warm embrace of the motherland with its vast land and abundant resources, he has never been short of food.

Tang Xiaodong straightened his chest, with a seasoned expression: "With meat! All kinds of vacuum-packed cooked beef, the kind that can be directly stuffed into your mouth!"

"Doesn't the athlete's resident restaurant provide meals?"

Tang Xiaodong curled his lips disdainfully: "Provisions are provided, but people in the peninsula are stingy when eating. The dishes are small, and they are all cold, soaked and pickled. There are not many hot dishes. You can choose from a large table. There are not a few pieces of beef in shape, and they have to shred their beef and cut it into translucent slices, we are all used to eating braised beef in braised sauce, it is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!"

Lu Jing added: "That's right, every time I go to that place to compete, I feel like I can't get enough to eat. I don't even have enough beef, and I eat kimchi all day long. Can I move the ball on the court?"

Xiao Yu was delighted, and asked again: "Even if the organizing committee doesn't mind us being self-sufficient, how can the customs allow us to smuggle such precious and valuable beef so generously?"

Tang Xiaodong patted Xiao Yu's back intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Haha, of course the Korean Customs doesn't allow it, and they will send out well-trained police dogs to sniff around whether you have any meat in your hands! So you can't take the meat Putting it on blatantly, trying to hide it!...You heard me right, Zhong Zongbiao and the others secretly hide a bunch of meat in the suitcase every time!"

In fact, the real situation is not so exaggerated. The people of the peninsula live in peace, and there is no shortage of meat.It's just that these athletes are too lazy to buy vegetables and meals by themselves during the battle in a foreign land, and when the food is not comfortable enough, they will miss the familiar taste of their hometown.

So Tang Xiaodong donated several tin snack cans and tea cans, and asked Xiao Yu to pack the beef he bought into small bags and hide them in the tin cans, telling him: "If the person at the customs asks you, just tell him, this is Tea, Chinesetea! If it's a dog coming to sniff you, ignore them!"

Zhan Xiang gently squeezed Xiao Yu's shoulder behind him.

Xiao Yu turned his head.

Zhan Xiang warned in a low voice: "Don't buy spicy beef or something, you can't eat spicy food before the game."

"I know." Xiao Yu pouted.Of course he knows that he can't eat spicy food before the game, because eating spicy food is easy to cause diarrhea!Who told Xiao Ye to prefer oily and spicy peppers, so I can only bear it!

But Xiao Yu, the sad child, still had diarrhea.

As soon as I got off the plane, I started looking for the toilet.

I don't know if it's the stale ingredients in the fast food meal on the plane, or I'm not used to the cold air conditioner and pressure difference when flying at high altitude. All so excited.

Cai Xiaotao of the women's team had a cold and a low-grade fever, while Xiao Yu had diarrhea and a low-grade fever.

The warm-up training before the game can only insist on light activities.If you are sick, you can’t take medicines indiscriminately, for fear of inadvertently taking stimulants, you can only use warm water to comb slowly, and slowly expel those dirty things that cause abnormal colic and wriggling in the stomach.

This time I dare not eat any meat.The pile of delicious beef and sausages that came with the box clip, none of the dogs at the customs could eat them, and finally they were all fed to the second young master Zhan who was very edible.

What a bargain this guy is!

Xiao Yu was lying on the bed, fiddled with the thermometer in his mouth with the tip of his tongue, squinted at Zhan Xiang who was gnawing on the beef jerky as if nothing had happened, angrily: Second Master, you are eating beef jerky that I worked so hard to smuggle!

In such a second-class intercontinental match, more than 40 pairs of men's doubles players participated.

Because they didn't have any ranking points, Xiao Yu and Zhan Xiang had to start from the preliminaries. After the lottery, they would fight against other unseeded players. Only after passing the test could they go to the ranked seeds.

First came a pair of young players from the Maldives. The average height of the two was 1 meters, which was exactly the same height as Xiao Yu's mother. The feeling of the fight was very similar to making two beats with my mother through the net when I was free on weekdays. , Do warm-up exercises.

In two rounds, the opponent scored 10 points in total.

In the second round, I met a pair of brother players from the Macau compatriots team. Although there is no world ranking, I have to say that the Chinese still have the talent and flexibility, and they are good at playing badminton. It was very strenuous to play, each ball was not played enough for ten rounds, and the opponent slammed forward, backward, left, and right, but did not let the ball hit the ground!

After two rounds, they entered the main match calmly.

The preliminaries themselves were nothing to watch, it was even uglier than the team training, but Xiao Yu used up a lot of physical energy in vain, and when he came out of the arena, his body seemed to be exhausted.

If I didn't play these two preliminaries, I would have had an extra day off.

Even if it is a simple and smooth game, after all, you have to take a bus from the athlete’s apartment to the arena. The staff will verify your body, do warm-up, show up under the lights, and play the game. If you are unlucky, you will even get a urine test!Xiao Yu squatted in the toilet with his face covered in pain, not wanting to come out again!

Zhanxiang had two people's racket bags on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and he held Xiao Yu's ribs from behind. When he touched the ribs, his hands were sweating. He quickly lowered his head and asked, "Is it okay? If you feel uncomfortable, we The two can actually abstain."

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes from under his sweat-stained eyelashes: "Why am I abstaining from voting? I finally made a trip abroad!"

"Heh!" Zhan Xiang sneered, "You will have more opportunities to come out to play in the future. The points you can earn in the Asian Championships are not high, so don't be too reluctant!"

Xiao Yu hung most of his weight in Zhan Xiang's arms, but his eyes still emphasized with air: "It's not that I'm hurt, and it's not that I can't hold on. Diarrhea, ouch, I'm actually a little dehydrated..."

"You didn't drink much of the lemon amino acid water I made for you? Did I add too much salt?" Zhan Xiang knew that the kid didn't like to drink salt water, but sports drinks must be supplemented with salt and various trace elements, so Zhan Xiang Shao's fingers would tremble every time he held up the small salt spoon, and he didn't know how much to put in to satisfy Xiao Yu's most comfortable taste.

Xiao Yu gave the other party a signature rabbit-tooth smirk: "Thank you Brother Xiang, the water you make is delicious, I dare not drink too much. There is no pause in the middle of each game. If you drink too much water, my stomach will I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to the toilet!"

It was the first time for Zhan Xiang to hear this common phrase that became popular on the Internet a few years later, and he stroked Xiao Yu's wet hair happily.

Xiao Yu also knew that his physical condition was not good, but he didn't want to give up halfway.

This is his first time playing abroad!

Winning or losing is secondary, and the most important thing is that he has not even experienced the moment when he is standing on the international arena, where his dream potential bursts out and the passion is radiant.

After two games, I feel that I haven't exerted my strength yet.Trying to exert force but can't, my whole body is like a pot of hot pot noodles, my stomach and intestines are both soft and hot, making it uncomfortable to stir.

The imaginary game should not be like this.

Haven't had time to make a quick kill!

After passing the preliminaries and being promoted to the top [-], Xiao Yuzhanxiang's opponent in the [-]th round is a pair of rising stars from the host country!

------

South Korea is a country that is quite fanatical about badminton. Badminton is the second most popular ball game here after football. Of course, it is also because they are indeed very strong.

When it comes to football, the Koreans still need to use various portable cheats and gold fingers blooming everywhere in the World Cup to kill the European powerhouses; in badminton, they don’t even need to use cheats, which is enough to defy the princes of all walks of life with their chests upright.

Among the five individual events, men's doubles and mixed doubles are the undefeated trump cards of Koreans.In the last Sudirman Cup two years ago, relying on the overwhelming strength of these two items, as well as the super-level performance of the men's singles, they directly scored 3:0, which made the Chinese team proud of the women's singles and women's singles. Neither of them got a chance to play, so they secured the victory in advance.

This time at home, the hosts even made bold statements. As friendly neighbors, you can only give the Chinese team the best women's doubles gold medal. The remaining four gold medals will all stay in Busan!

In front of the Badminton Hall in Busan, there was a huge crowd of people, surrounded by a mighty group of Hallyu fans, who greeted their national idol with overwhelming towel balls and shouting slogans like a tsunami.Although it is only an internal competition in Asia, because it is a home game at home, such a competition is more like a wonderful internal individual exhibition match of national superstars.

Xiao Yu Zhanxiang's opponent is Kim Dong Sung/Lee Jun Yong, the secret weapon carefully trained by the host in the past year, known as the "Jackie Chan combination".The two teenagers have just turned 20 years old, and they are already ranked among the top ten in the world due to their young age.

And Tan Bing and Liu Xuening even drew a lottery. Although Xiao Yuzhanxiang and Xiao Yuzhanxiang were divided into upper and lower halves, they would not fight each other, but they actually drew the host's world number one ace doubles Park Bongjoo/Luo Yuhao, the emperor A superstar-level character, miraculously, he only lost two games in countless important competitions throughout last year. As soon as "Zhu Yu" comes out, who will fight for the top, these two are basically in the men's doubles arena, and Dugu seeks defeat!

As soon as Xiao Yucai stepped onto the lighting arena, the stands were full of gorgeous flower balls, and the roof of the arena was surrounded by eye-catching light pillars, shaking him as if he was holding a superstar concert.

I lost two bottles of glucose the night before, and I recovered a lot from dehydration.

Boss Du specially warned: "Xiao Yu, it's just an Asian Championship, don't force it, don't work too hard, if you feel uncomfortable, just give up the game, I can give you this 'place' to drop the game!"

It's not that Xiao Yu wants to fight desperately with anyone.

Neither Zhanxiang nor Brother Biao would understand his inflated mood.

Political slogans such as winning glory for the country or eliminating harm for the people have no place in his heart at the moment, he just really wants to play the game!I'm so excited, I can play one more game if I can!

Two commentators, one fat and one thin, were sitting high in the studio in a corner of the stands, giving passionate on-site commentary. Wow, wow, the sound was transmitted to the stadium through the loudspeaker.

Slender brother (star-soul shape): What will happen on the field is the debut of our long-awaited national hero in this Asian Championship!

Fat brother (pedant): Yes!Our dazzling new star Kim Dong Sung is wearing a pure white jersey and shorts, wait a minute, his socks are also pure white, pure white Kim Dong Sung!

Slender brother (anthropomorphic): Our Li Junlong made a very cool and flamboyant flower boy hairstyle!

Fat Brother (serious): Our younger brother Junlong has a figure of 185 cm and a weight of 75 kg... It is more suitable to say that he is not so much a handsome man as a handsome man!

Of course, the two experienced professional badminton commentators do not only know how to appreciate beauty.The South Korean side collected detailed information on opponents from all walks of life, and even Xiao Yu, who made his debut in the Asian arena for the first time, did not escape the opponent's various intelligence detections.

Slender brother (holding a pergola): Look at the audience, the tall handsome guy from the Chinese team is the one who lost to us in the Sudirman Cup two years ago, and also lost to us in the World Championships last year. fly!

Fat brother (fingers on the bridge of the nose and raising glasses): But his partner, look, he changed his partner!Could it be that the pocket-sized handsome boy who looked half a head shorter than him was a rookie selected by the Chinese team after a round of closed plateau winter training? !

Slender brother (quickly flipping through the information): It turns out that his name is Xiao Yu, a young player from a certain province, one year younger than our Junlong brother!According to our reliable information, his real height is 172.875 cm, and his exact weight is only 62.5 kg. He holds the racket with his right hand and plays close to the net!According to our detailed analysis, he is very likely to be the secret weapon of the Chinese team for the next Olympic year! ! !

The other party knew him very well, but Xiao Yu couldn't even tell the difference between the two handsome men on the opposite side of the net. Their faces were very dazzling, their hairstyles were cool, and their every frown and smile revealed the shyness and closeness of Korean drama stars, "Jackie Chan "Ah "Jackie Chan", which of you is Xiao Chengcheng and which one is Xiaolonglong?"

As soon as the game started, it quickly entered a stalemate. The young Jackie Chan team ran very fast, and the young Yuxiang team also had fast and changeable footwork.The two sides played several rounds on the field, and the score rose alternately. The fans in the stands had just warmed up and opened their voices, and the game on the field has quickly passed half!

Xiao Yu felt more and more wrong as he slapped and slapped.

He and Zhan Xiang are attacking one after the other.

However, the opponent is always in a defensive formation of one left and one right, rarely retreating and pressing down, and did not smash a few balls in a round, but scored frequently.

Xiao Chengcheng hit Xiao Yu's net mouth backhand and scored!

Xiaocheng hit the middle junction of the two and scored!

Xiaolonglong hit the forehand sideline of the backcourt and scored again!

Xiao Yu presses down near the net, forcing the opponent's backhand position, frequently creating offensive opportunities for Zhan Xiang.

Zhan Xiang's forehand smash is very reassuring. As long as he hits the racket accurately and his wrist bursts out, even if the opponent falls sideways, it will be difficult to save the ball.Xiao Yu could even feel a strong whirlwind a few meters behind him every time Zhan Xiang jumped up and smashed!

But the problem with the two of them seems not to be that they can't attack, but that they can't defend the score.If you score one point, the opponent can lead by two points!

Xiao Yu felt that the game was played really awkwardly.

How can the opponent always hit the ball to the gap between him and Zhan Xiang?

Is it because I am not physically strong enough to run fast enough?It's not true, Mr. Xiao hanged two large bottles of glucose water, and now it's like a chicken blood, the strength is hidden in his fingers, and he is about to exert strength.

Of course, it's not because Zhan Xiang's physical strength is not good enough, and he can't move fast enough.

Xiao Yu felt that there always seemed to be countless invisible potential gaps between himself and Zhan Xiang, and the opponent seized these gaps very wisely. Every time he scored, he didn't even have to wait for the two of them to make mistakes, and he could directly score. One hit hits!

Xiao Yu picked up the ball with his racket and passed by Zhan Xiang.

Zhan Xiang's expression was very solemn, and there was a strong sense of aggrieved on his face. He had stored up all his energy, but he was blocked at every gate and couldn't let it out.

If he showed pain from time to time on the court, as if he was ready to rush to the toilet to have a diarrhea at any time, Xiao Yu felt that Zhan Er Shao's sullen expression was very likely to be constipated.

That's right, the game was played so well that everything was not smooth!
