"Yesterday, strong convective weather occurred in our city, causing extensive flight delays at Dongsheng Airport. 410 flights were delayed to varying degrees, 103 flights were cancelled, and 220 flights were diverted to other local airports...
…Starting early this morning, the entry and exit order at Dongsheng Airport has returned to normal…”
Early in the morning, local news came on the TV.
Zhao Kangming was eating breakfast cooked by his wife at home. After eating, he was going to the training base to start his day's work. He did not raise his head to watch TV, but treated the news broadcast as background sound.
My wife served herself a bowl of sweet potato and millet porridge, sat down and said with a smile: "I heard that the Korean team's flight has been diverted to a heavy mountain?"
"Hmm." Zhao Kangming purred as he drank the porridge, then reached out and picked up the steamed buns from the plate.
"God is on your side, it looks like you can win this time!"
Zhao Kangming, who was holding the steamed bun and was about to bite it, was stunned when he heard his wife say this, and his open mouth stopped on the steamed bun.
"What's wrong?" The wife noticed something strange about her husband.
"You reminded me." Zhao Kangming shook his head and bit down again, biting off nearly half of the bun in one bite.
"Remind you what?" The wife was puzzled.
"We have to be careful about complacency like yours within the team. Just because things seem to be going too well, we have to be even more careful about losing everything because of our overconfidence."
The wife burst into laughter: "How can you think so much over a meal?"
"I can't help it. There are many young people in the team, and you know that young men are easy to get into trouble." Zhao Kangming finished the steamed buns in his hands, rubbed his hands, pushed the bowl, and stood up.
"I'm done eating."
"Slow down on the road." His wife sat on the chair and told him.
"Yeah. I know."
Zhao Kangming put on his coat, picked up his house and car keys and went out.
On the way to the Shining Star Liucheng training base, he heard the host on the car radio talking about the big and small things that happened in Jincheng yesterday:
"...Yesterday there was an earthquake in Xinchuan. Although it was said to be at the head of a ravine, the people of Jincheng still felt it very strongly. They all expressed in their circle of friends that they were shaken from their beds and sofas... They all said it could refresh the screen.
There are only three things in the Jincheng people's circle of friends. The first thing is snow, the second thing is the sun, and the third thing is earthquake... Of course it is a good thing for everyone to face the earthquake with an optimistic and positive attitude, but
Also be careful not to spread rumors. For example, yesterday I saw someone on the Internet saying that the strong convective weather in the afternoon was related to the earthquake in the evening. Are you kidding? What does this have to do with it? Don't believe those nonsense on the Internet.
…”
Hearing what the host said? Zhao Kangming was thinking, of course there is no relationship? But what a coincidence that these two things happened on the same day? I can only say that Seoul LG, who came to Jincheng to play an away game at this time, was better.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if the whole team had a good rest yesterday...

When Park Guixian got off the bed, he stepped on the carpet of the hotel room with his feet, feeling the solid touch. He finally made sure that he was not floating in the sky, and escaped from the panic of having a nightmare about a plane crash all night.
.
His roommate was already washing up in the bathroom. Wearing only a pair of underwear, he walked barefoot to the bed and opened the heavy curtains? Then he was instantly blinded...
He raised his hands to block his eyes reflexively. The golden sunlight passed around his body, poured into the room, and spread on the bed with messy quilts, which was dazzlingly white.
After Park Guixian's eyes finally adapted to such bright sunshine, he took his hand away and looked at the world outside the window with his eyes raised.
The blue sky seemed to have been washed by water. Where were the shadows of the black and gray clouds he saw on the plane yesterday?
The sun shines on the glass windows of the east-facing building facades, as if they are jumping and chasing with the help of mirrors.
He lowered his head and looked down. The street outside the hotel was busy with traffic and people coming and going. He slightly opened the glass window with good sound insulation effect, and the noise from outside squeezed in through the crack in the window.
The rustle of wheels on the asphalt? The occasional sound of a car horn? There are also shouts coming from unknown directions.
Park Guixian looked down at the bustling scene of the city. He still felt a little unreal - did the terrible rainstorm and earthquake yesterday never happen at all?
When Park Guixian was standing by the window in a daze, his teammates' ridicule sounded behind him: "I say Guixian, if you want to enjoy the scenery, please remember to put on your pants, otherwise when you enjoy the scenery, you will become someone else's eyes."
The scenery..."
Park Guixian turned around and looked at his teammates who had finished washing up. He curled his lips and said, "What's the big deal? I won't suffer anyway."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bathroom. As he walked past his teammates, he suddenly asked: "How did you sleep last night?"
His teammates smiled bitterly and pointed at the dark circles under his eyes: "What do you think?"
"I thought you were putting on smoky makeup when you stayed in the bathroom for so long." Park Guixian teased.
"Go to hell! What about you? Have you slept well?"
"Me? I've been dreaming all night."
"Dreams about airplanes or earthquakes?"
Park Guixian snorted: "The sweet dream about killing Anton Shanxing."

Zhao Kangming stood on the dewy turf and looked at the first-team players in front of him.
"I heard that during the earthquake yesterday, the Seoul LG players didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they ran into the hotel lobby and were photographed and posted online?" he asked.
There was a burst of laughter among the players.
This incident has spread all over the Chinese Internet today, and various jokes have emerged.
Photos of Seoul LG players appearing in hotel lobbies with their bare buttocks or just a pair of underwear appeared even on the Korean Internet.
“When I came here, there was a heavy rain, so I had to go through heavy mountains, and then I took the high-speed train to Jincheng. I finally checked in and stayed in a hotel, but I was frightened by the earthquake again... This is the arrival of LG Seoul
What happened in one day in the away game...I believe many people have now imagined that the opponent is exhausted and mentally weak, right? While laughing at the opponent, they also feel that we are sure to win this game, right?"
This time no one laughed anymore. Everyone looked at Zhao Kangming with a serious expression, and the smiles on their faces gradually faded away.
"If you really think so, then we are going to lose. I admit that these situations encountered by our opponents will affect their morale and state to some extent, but is it a decisive influence? Not necessarily. The decisive influence is that we slack off because of it.
Underestimating the enemy. So this is originally a benefit, but if we can't look at it correctly, it will become our disadvantage. There are only two days left before the game, and I have not determined the starting lineup for the game. If anyone is training during these two days
If you are just playing around and don't take your opponent seriously, then prepare to watch the game at home!"
His words were so harsh that the players looked stern and no longer dared to smile.
Director Zhao was right. After knowing that LG Seoul was so unlucky, some players really felt that they would win this game, and even win it very easily.
They think this is simply "God helps me".
However, now that Director Zhao has reminded them like this, many people have to give up those thoughts in their hearts, correct their mentality, and concentrate on taking the next training and competition seriously.

At the Andong Provincial Sports Center located outside the North Third Ring Road of Jincheng, there are less than 20 minutes left before the start of the game. There is basically no free area in the stands that can accommodate 60,000 people.
This is the second AFC Champions League game hosted by the Provincial Sports Center. It is also a game between Flash Star and South Korean team Seoul LG.
Because of the special nature of this opponent, Flash Star fans were very enthusiastic in today's game.
There is no need to count the number of people. Just look at the empty seats left in the stands and you will know that the attendance of this game has exceeded that of the game against Sydney Coast.
After the baptism of double-front matches in the league and the AFC Champions League in the previous month, Flash Star fans have gradually become accustomed to this situation. Basically, they no longer worry about whether the team will be relegated during the AFC Champions League games.
Such a disappointing question.
After all, it’s still very early before the end of the league, and now I watch even the AFC Champions League games with fear because I’m worried about being relegated. What’s the difference between thinking that the child will die sooner or later as soon as the child is born, and crying loudly in mourning?
In the past, Flash Star fans had not seen much of the world, so they would have a somewhat unbalanced mentality and worry about gains and losses.
Now Flash Star fans have seen the world to some extent and know not to be surprised, otherwise they will be laughed at by fans of other wealthy teams in the Chinese Super League.
Yes, they are newly promoted, but that doesn't mean they are country bumpkins.
Another reason why everyone is in a good mood is naturally the two things that happened on the day Seoul LG arrived at Jincheng. Everyone is convinced that these two things will greatly affect the state and spirit of the Seoul LG players, causing them to take a break
not good.
This is a major benefit for Flash Star. If it were put into the stock market, it would be a long-term success and make every investor who holds shares of Flash Star smile from ear to ear.
On the football field, everyone is full of confidence in the Stars winning at home.
The middle-aged man in the stands looked up at the gloomy sky and muttered: "Didn't the weather forecast say there will be thunderstorms today? I have been looking forward to it since daytime, hoping that it will rain before the game, but it has not happened yet.
Get off. Don’t get off when you’re watching football..."
"Just let it rain. Watching football in the rain is so exciting, uncle." Yan Yan next to him joked.
"I'm old, and I can't compare with you young people. If I get caught in the rain, I might catch a cold that lasts for a month..."
"It's okay, I brought an umbrella, uncle. I'll give it to you when the time comes." Yan Yan patted his backpack.
"I brought it with me too." The middle-aged man took out a folding umbrella from his bag. "But it's inconvenient to watch football with an umbrella, so I hope I don't use it as much as possible..."
He took the umbrella back again.
"Hey, uncle, do we want to take a gamble?" Yan Yan suddenly said to the middle-aged man after the two people sat down in the stands.
"If I don't bet, what's the point of betting on this game?" The uncle shook his head. Although he was not short of money, he was not a winner either.
"Ahem, don't talk too much, uncle. Football is round..."
The middle-aged man glanced at Yan Yan strangely: "What? Do you think Flashing Star will overturn at home?"
Yan Yan said seriously: "That's not true. I mean, uncle, you can bet on Flashing Star and lose, but I'll bet on Flashing Star to win."
"Haha." The middle-aged man sneered and ignored this boy who didn't take enough advantage.

"I hope you remember what I said on the training ground that day - if you all feel like we're going to win this game, then we're going to lose it. Keep that in mind and give it your all and don't give up.
Opponents can take advantage of any opportunity."
After Zhao Kangming finished speaking seriously, he led everyone on the coaching staff out of the locker room, leaving the last few minutes before the game to the players themselves.
Players can use this time to share their feelings, announce something, or speak to their teammates, so as to unite the team and gather combat effectiveness.
This has become one of his fixed routines before games.
As soon as the coaching staff left, Hu Lai couldn't wait to stand up and raised his arms at the same time: "Everyone, listen to me, I have something to announce!"
Seeing Hu Lai's attitude, the other team members gave him the opportunity to speak, and even Qin Lin didn't speak up.
In front of everyone, Hu Lai said: "Well, comrades... Lao Wang, Brother Huan, Xiao Xingxing, Xiaoyu, and Morikawa. The six of us recently found a big house. Everything has been done. It's completely
You can move in with your bags. But I haven’t moved yet because I haven’t waited for a good time..."
Han Xiangfei interrupted him: "How do you think about the future when you move, Hu Lai? I feel like you don't believe this..."
Hu Lai waved his hand: "Brother Fei, what I mean by 'good life' is that we can only move when we win."
"What's the point of this? It's just a move, so what if we can't win?" asked another teammate Liu Binwei. "Does it mean that if we lose, we can't even survive?"
"If we can't win, we won't be able to invite everyone to our big villa for a party!" Hu Lai spread his hands, "Just think about it, if we lose then, a group of people will come to our new house to eat, drink and have fun.
What will happen if the media and fans find out? When you come to training, everyone will be stopped by reporters and asked about having a party after losing. What do you think?"
"Uh..." Liu Binwei was asked.
When Han Xiangfei heard that there was a party, he became interested: "Hu Lai, are you inviting us all to play?"
"Of course, Brother Fei. It's a blessing to move to a new house. We have to have a greenhouse party, right? Then everyone will come to have barbecue, play games, have a good time and relax... This must be based on our winning the ball.
let's go?"
"That makes sense." Han Xiangfei nodded.
"So, I just want to ask everyone for help. After beating the Koreans at home, we can move, and only after we move can we invite everyone to play. Do you think this is true?"
After Hu Lai finished speaking, he looked at his teammates in the locker room with a friendly smile and sincere eyes.

PS, although I only saved one more chapter, I still resumed two updates.
I had a meeting the day before yesterday and wrote a chapter.
From the morning to the afternoon, I almost ran out of battery while playing with my phone... Finally, I took advantage of the half hour before the dinner to go back to the room and charge it for a while, from more than 20% to 99%.
There was a lottery at the dinner in the evening, and I won a reward from a leader.
I thought I was lucky, but I didn't expect that almost everyone has this thing... Those who really need luck are rewarded by the Silver Alliance and the Gold Alliance.
As for these two grand prizes, the person who draws the League Leader will automatically lose the qualification for the draw...
