() If you want to succeed in any field, you must have enough investment. Although Lu Yang likes fencing very much and has a considerable foundation, after all, he cannot take the path of a professional player, and the energy and time he can invest in this aspect are limited.
What's more, his physical fitness is only among the best among ordinary people. Lu Yang is not a genius monster in novels. There is an obvious upper limit to the level he can reach.
The strongest youth fencing players in Xichuan Province are undoubtedly the provincial team players. They are truly professional players who invest a lot of energy and time in training every day and have a good competition environment.
As he gets older, the psychological advantage Lu Yang relies on will continue to shrink. In the past two years, he can still compete with ordinary players from the provincial team of the same age, but in another two years there will be no comparison. As for facing those who are targeting the national team
The top player of the provincial team is simply not good enough. Even if he goes all-out professionally from now on, it will be difficult to catch up with him.
This kind of special youth competition has a strong selection quality, and it is not prepared for the top players. They won't be able to win, and they need to prepare for higher-level competitions and don't have the time to spare.
Of course, there will be players from the provincial team coming to every competition, usually because of various favors or various purposes. Although they are not top-notch, the level of these players is not too low.
In the semi-finals, apart from Lu Yang, the other three players were all provincial team players. Of course, their level also varied.
Lu Yang's opponent in the semifinals, Yao Xi, was said to be only fourteen years old and his level was not very high. However, the two provincial team members in the other semifinals were obviously a level higher.
And not only Lu Yang, many people also understood at a glance that the opponent in the final was at least one year older than him.
It is difficult for a quasi-professional player like Lu Yang to guarantee two hours of training every day. The level of his usual opponents is not enough, and there are few opportunities for formal competitions. There is a big gap between him and the top players of the provincial team. Even if he has to compete against the outstanding players of the provincial team,
It's basically useless, especially for older people.
While Lu Yang was thinking about it, the women's epee semi-finals were over. Lu Hui successfully advanced to the finals, and her results were better than the previous one. Next was the men's epee finals.
"Well……"
Liu Wenwu put his arm around Cao Jungang's shoulders and walked into the training hall. He burped and breathed out the smell of alcohol. He looked into the distance and shook his head: "Xiao Cao, why don't you come over here and let me take care of you? Even if your wife looks down on us.
If you have a school diploma, you can also try it out at Chengrong Sports College."
Cao Wenshan was sent to the provincial sports school during winter and summer vacations to practice with the provincial team players. Liu Wenwu was very familiar with this child, and he also knew what Cao Jungang and his wife were thinking.
"Xiaosugi's grades are not good enough for a bachelor's degree. If he can't practice at your place, it will be a waste of time."
Cao Jungang sighed helplessly. He and Ming Shumin had had many quarrels over this matter.
When Cao Jungang asked Cao Wenshan to practice fencing, Ming Shumin was not very happy. However, due to her son's unsatisfactory academic performance, she became ill and went to the doctor in hopes of gaining points in sports, but she became more active than herself.
Unfortunately, Cao Wenshan's sports talent is not top-notch. When he was training with the provincial team a few years ago, Liu Wenwu made it clear to Cao Jungang that his son's physical condition did not have any advantages, and his personality and psychology also had weaknesses. It would be difficult to achieve great success in fencing practice.
I am not optimistic about making a career and taking a professional path.
Cao Wenshan's success in the youth competition in Chongshan was mainly due to his early training and proficiency in skills. His performance was often greatly reduced when he encountered opponents with poor skills. His performance in provincial competitions was much worse than that of Lu Hui.
The competition in the provincial team is very fierce, and it is difficult for Cao Wenshan's talent to stand out among them. Liu Wenwu has to take care of various relationships and balance many interests. It is impossible for him to help cover the sky with one hand, so he might as well stay at the Chongshan City Sports School.
Ming Shumin was high-spirited and had high expectations for her son. Even if Cao Wenshan had extra points for a second-level athlete certificate at a real university like Chengrong Sports College, it would be difficult for him to pass the college entrance examination, let alone do it all on his own.
The level of cultural courses in the provincial sports school was too poor. Cao Wenshan's academic performance was even more affected when he went there, and Ming Shumin looked down on the grade of the diploma.
So Cao Jungang and Ming Shumin's wishful thinking was that Cao Wenshan would first get a second-level athlete certificate or if he was lucky enough to get a first-level athlete certificate, he would try the college entrance examination first while studying in No. 5 Middle School, and if that didn't work, he would go to a sports school.
Anyway, given the background of Cao Jungang and his wife, if the provincial sports school finds an unpopular major, Cao Wenshan can get into it no matter how old he is.
Liu Wenwu was somewhat aware of these twists and turns, so he didn't say much. After all, it was a family matter.
“That doll’s playing temperament is really good.”
At this time, the men's epee finals had already begun. Liu Wenwu couldn't help but marvel at the side that was completely suppressed by his opponents on the stage, but his performance was not messy at all. The side was solidly defending and counterattacking from time to time.
The other team is a team member he has led. Of course Liu Wenwu knows the trick. The provincial team player in the finals is actually almost two years overage. He went to another place for exchange last year, and now he has been loaned back by a certain city. The name of the competition has also been changed. It is said that he and
The children of a provincial leader born in a certain city are the same.
If that kid really only practiced for a year, it would be very difficult. What a pity...
"That kid Lu Yang's psychological quality is indeed very good."
Cao Jungang said with emotion, if Cao Wenshan had this kind of mental quality, his competition results would definitely be much better.
Lu Yang was so focused on the game that he was unaware of the surprise of some insiders around him.
This level of competition is a training opportunity that Lu Yang is very lacking. The origin of his opponent is not important, and he does not value the ranking so much. At this moment, he is just seriously experiencing the feeling of competing with strong opponents and trying to seize the opportunity to improve himself.
Lu Yang kept the tempo of the game very slow, not seeking success but no fault in every attack. The opponent was obviously very frustrated and kept changing the tempo of the game in an attempt to break through his defense.
At the moment, he is only two swords ahead, so he has little advantage in the fencing competition, and the opponent is also afraid that Lu Yang might come back.
It's just that opponents of this level have many competition opportunities, so they won't be impatient in this stalemate.
Because of the disparity in strength, Lu Yang was ultimately defeated 7-10 after nine minutes. However, he was not frustrated and smiled and saluted, making both the referee and his opponent secretly nod.
"What a pity, drink water."
After Lu Yang came down, Lu Hui was the first to come up and hand him some water, with a hint of concern flashing in his usually cold and arrogant eyes.
"Thank you," Lu Yang took it, opened it and took a sip. Because of the concern in Lu Hui's eyes, he comforted him casually: "It's no pity. This is a good opportunity to compete."
"Um?"
Lu Hui paused slightly, feeling special again because of that smiling face that didn't look lost at all.
Is it precisely because of this that I dare to ask the other party for help?
"Nothing, right..."
Lu Yang saw Lu Hui's rare stunned expression, and he reached out to hold her shoulders in excitement. He ignored the gasps from the surrounding people and said with a smile: "Come on, we will work hard to win the championship later!"
After speaking, Lu Yang took back his hand, made a fist-clenching gesture of encouragement, and started drinking water again with a smile, but he was muttering secretly in his heart.
The shoulders of Empress Lu are very different from those of Princess Jiang Ling. They feel very hard, and you can tell by touching them that they are the result of long-term training.
Lu Hui was not used to being suddenly touched on her shoulder, especially by a boy, and felt uncomfortable all over. However, the person in front of her must be the helper she had found, and it was not easy for her to have an attack.
"..."
Lu Hui said nothing, turned around and walked towards her equipment bag with a cold face.
Her eyes subconsciously scanned the entire audience. In addition to the surprise and astonishment of Zhongshan's teammates, especially Cao Wenshan's heartbreak, Lu Hui also saw the shock on Yao Xi's face in the distance. She looked away, feeling that the effect was pretty good.
I hope I can withstand it then...
Before the official start of the women's epee competition, Lu Yang had packed up his equipment bag, walked under where his grandfather Nainai was, and chatted with the two old men through the railing while waiting for the competition to start.
Although there is little hope, Lu Yang still wants to sneak out using his grandpa's nainai at night, so he might just take a look at Jiang Yuan's figure in her artistic gymnastics uniform.
At this moment, Lu Yang's mind was filled with the pair of breasts under the light blue dress at the foot of Jinxiang Mountain. They were so slender and jade-white that he couldn't help but imagine that his fingers were sliding over them.
That kind of touch should be more comfortable than the best warm jade?
Ugh, I'm so vulgar...
Lu Yang laughed at himself and came to his senses. Lu Hui's game had ended in the first game, and she was one point ahead.
After all, he also played the role of the other party's close boyfriend, although according to Lu Hui's wishes, it should not be so obvious and should have an ambiguous feeling.
But it’s not appropriate to just stand on the outside and watch?
Lu Yang thought, he spoke to Lu Chongrui and Zhu Xuezhi, and took a can of Jianlibao from his grandfather's handbag.
At this time, sports drinks such as Gatorade were not introduced, and the concept that athletes should not drink carbonated drinks was not widespread.
Lu Chongrui watched the game for the first time and felt sorry for Lu Yang's hard work, so he bought a lot of Jianlibao to express his condolences.
Lu Yang usually doesn't drink carbonated drinks, but after all, it's his grandfather's wish, so he still drinks it. The choice of drinks nowadays is also very limited.
Walking closer, Lu Hui had already started the second game.
Lu Yang stood carelessly next to Cao Jungang, holding Jianlibao in his hand. His teammates understood what he meant when they saw it, and many people kept staring at him from behind.
I really don’t know what this guy’s background is. He showed up out of nowhere and made Cao Wenshan miserable. Not to mention, he actually ended up with Lu Huidu?
Some seniors from the Chongshan representative team were immediately filled with righteous indignation, looking at the young man in front of them with a look that could kill him tens of thousands of times.
It’s different having a ‘boyfriend’ to cheer you on!
In the second game, Lu Hui's murderous spirit increased sharply, and she pressed hard with swords and swords. The provincial team player of the same age as her actually felt helpless and could only retreat steadily.
Seeing that there was still one more sword left, Lu Hui could end this sentence with a three-point advantage.
"Oh, luckily I made it in time!"
Suddenly there was a shout at the door, and three figures came running and started running wildly in the training hall.
Like everyone else, Lu Yang glanced over, and the three people who came in were one man and two women. The man in front was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a shaved head, wearing a black shirt, black trousers, and sunglasses.
If his face were not too delicate, he would have scored 100 points for his gangster temperament, but his body was quite strong, and his arms under the short-sleeved shirt were quite thick. It looked like the effect of working out.
Behind the ‘strong man’ were two girls, their appearance and appearance were unattractive, but their expressions were a bit cold and arrogant.
"Huihui, come on! You must win!"
The 'strong man', who was surrounded by two little girls, ran forward and heard a coquettish female voice.
Lu Yang was startled, and an idea ran through his mind.
Could this 'perverted strong woman' be Lu Hui's trouble?
The problem was soon confirmed. After this 'perverted strong woman' arrived, Lu Hui's momentum suddenly disappeared. In the second game, her opponent defeated her three times in a row, and finally ended in a draw.
After Lu Yang saw the referee's announcement, Lu Hui took off his mask, looked over coldly, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally looked at himself with a calm expression before walking over.
At this time, the perverted strong woman immediately rushed forward with a smile. Lu Yang quickly took the lead and stopped before the opponent's flying claws. He handed over the Jianlibao in his hand and protected Lu Hui with one hand.
