After Quitting the Sports World, I Became a God of Cooking

Su Bai, as a track and field athlete with no prospects, decided to retire due to a lack of hope for improving his results.

But when Su Bai officially submitted his retirement application, his...

Chapter 186 (Part 2)

The sound of quarreling came from the training ground. The sound was so loud that Wu Tian was stunned.

"You are here for training, not for dating! You don't train well, but block me here every day. How many training items have you completed today? How many sets of strength training have you done? How many days have passed? Have you adjusted your cornering technique? Is it usable? Are you here to harass the female players?!"

The person who taught the lesson was an assistant coach of the national team, also a retired athlete of the national team's 400m event, named Gu Cheng.

During his 400m career, although Gu Cheng practiced diligently, he did not achieve very good results. His career PB was 45.91 seconds, barely breaking the 46-second mark. He was also a member of the previous generation's 400m relay team.

The one who was taught a lesson was one of the tryout contestants, whose surname was Ding and whose name was Ding Ruihan.

This is a 19-year-old young athlete, and a rare athlete in this trial whose original event is 400 meters. Because he has good talent and has been training in the 400 meters, Ding Ruihan has always been relaxed and casual in training. He often runs to the side of the female athletes in the trial, and circles around several pretty girls, saying "Let me teach you".

The national team is usually the place with the most rigorous training. There are few players like Ding Ruihan. Gu Cheng has been watching him for three days. He is slow in training and does not listen to the coach's instructions at all. He has been told countless times in three days about the things he needs to pay attention to during training, but he just doesn't listen to him at all.

Players with this kind of personality will make even the best-tempered coach angry.

Finally, today, Ding Ruihan not only failed to complete the designated training content, but also harassed the female team members during training. Gu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to him in two or three steps, dragged him out directly, and taught him a lesson on the spot.

Ding Ruihan is very talented. When he was in the provincial team, he was the pet of the provincial team coach. Moreover, the coach of his provincial team had an exceptionally good temper. Even if he was smiling and joking with the coach in the team, the coach rarely said anything to him. As for his training, the coach followed him like an old mother, coaxing him to train every day.

Perhaps it is because of such a relaxed growing environment that Ding Ruihan has developed a somewhat lawless character.

Before joining the national team, Ding Ruihan's coach had advised him earnestly to try out with the national team and not to treat it the same way as he did with the provincial team. However, Ding Ruihan didn't think there was anything wrong with his character at all.

Gu Cheng pointed at Ding Ruihan and gave him a lecture, but Ding Ruihan, like in the past when he was in the provincial team, did not feel that he had done anything wrong. He stared at Gu Cheng and directly challenged him: "Isn't it just strength training? Will I die if I do it later? Besides, can you guarantee that the adjustment of the cornering technique will be effective? I have been running with the cornering technique for two or three years, and my performance has improved every year. What do you say if my performance does not improve after the change?"

"Besides, wasn't it Coach Su Bai who called us to the national team for a tryout? Why are you the ones giving us instructions? Coach Gu, right? What's your own 400m result? Have you ever trained any outstanding 400m athletes? Can you really get anything out of us by giving us instructions?"

A series of sky rockets exploded from Ding Ruihan's mouth. He still felt that he was quite clever. He turned around and threw a wink at the female team tryout contestant. He felt that he was very handsome. It was almost as if everyone around him was shocked, intimidated by his domineering aura, and fell at his feet.

Gu Cheng was a good-tempered man, but he was so angry at Ding Ruihan's series of nagging that his face turned blue. He pointed at Ding Ruihan and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Ding Ruihan looked around with a smug look on his face.

In the past few days, he has also observed the athletes around him and has long discovered that most of them are mainly training in other events. Even if they originally trained in 400 meters, they are athletes whose results are not as good as his. They have seen it in the national youth competitions in the past. His results are anyway crushing those other athletes on the training ground today.

Before, in early 2018, when the domestic 400-meter event was still not good, he could run more than 46 seconds. His provincial team coach always said that he was a rising star in the 400-meter event.

Later, the 400-meter event suddenly rose in China, and his coach kept saying that as long as he could train under Su Bai, he would definitely be able to run under 45 seconds in the future, and he would be indispensable to the national team!

In his opinion, with his talent and achievements, even if there was no trial, as long as Su Bai from the national team had a good vision, there was no reason for him not to be accepted.

As for training… he has not stopped training, has he? It's just that I didn't train in time. As for the improvement of cornering technique, I have to adjust the arm swing range and the strength of the left and right feet touching the ground. What's the use of such small adjustments? The trial training lasted only three months. How much could his performance improve by adjusting his cornering technique?

In short, in Ding Ruihan's eyes, he did nothing wrong, and the one who was wrong was only the coach who made the training plan for him.

For a player like him, he should be taught by Su Bai, right?

Who is this Gu Cheng?

He was also giving face to Gu Cheng by not telling him that his career performance was too bad, but this guy still looked so furious!

If Ding Ruihan's provincial team coach knew what Ding Ruihan was thinking and doing, he would probably regret why he took such good care of him in the first place, which resulted in Ding Ruihan's character.

But there are no ifs in everything.

After Ding Ruihan finished talking, he looked frivolous and complacent. The athletes who were training around him were shocked and stood still. People like Wu Tian, ​​who was sitting on the ground to rest, were so shocked that they almost couldn't sit up.

"This guy is... too bold, isn't he?"

After standing up, Wu Tian carefully rubbed against Zhuo Yutang and Qiu Mingjie. The three of them were of similar age. Since Wu Tian's main event before was long jump, he didn't know much about the 400-meter common sense, so he would ask Zhuo Yutang and Qiu Mingjie from time to time. Therefore, the relationship between the three of them was pretty good over the past few days.

At this moment, he rubbed against Qiu Mingjie and whispered to him in a low voice.

Qiu Mingjie looked at Ding Ruihan who was a little further away with a horrible expression on his face, and lowered his voice to say to Wu Tian: "How dare you say that? You are mentally retarded, right?"

Among this group of athletes, Qiu Mingjie is already one of the players with a very eccentric personality. On the first day of the meeting, he dared to yell at Su Bai, "Boss Su", but he also knew what to say and what not to say.

At least in his attitude towards the coach, he has always been upright.

Because of what Ding Ruihan did, the entire training hall fell silent when he finished speaking, but he himself didn't realize anything was wrong.

This was the scene Su Bai saw when he came over from the next venue. He lowered his voice and called the physical trainer next to him, briefly asking about the reason for the situation. The more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. After he finished listening, Su Bai's gaze had already swept towards Ding Ruihan, and a hint of anger was already burning in his eyes.

When Su Bai stood in front of Ding Ruihan and Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng pointed at Ding Ruihan angrily and wanted him to get out of the national team, but he was worried that he did not have the corresponding power.

After seeing Su Bai, Ding Ruihan finally calmed down a bit, but he still had a pout on his face, not showing any particular respect.

In Ding Ruihan's opinion, Su Bai is only four or five years older than him. He is young and inexperienced, and cannot manage the national team at all. Moreover, he is not very responsible - otherwise how come it is that Su Bai has called together the trial players, but it turns out that other coaches are guiding their training?

Of course, Su Bai also noticed Ding Ruihan's expression. He didn't say anything for a moment, just stared into Ding Ruihan's eyes. Then, as Ding Ruihan became more and more unhappy, Su Bai said coldly: "The national team does not need players who don't know how to respect their own projects and don't know how to respect hard work."

When Ding Ruihan heard it for the first time, he didn't understand what it meant. When it went over his mind for the second time, he finally figured it out. Su Bai wanted him to leave.

After realizing this, Ding Ruihan became furious.

"Why the hell do you let me go!"

"Why?" Su Bai's tone was very calm, but Gu Cheng, who was standing next to him, could clearly feel the anger in Su Bai's heart at this moment.

In the past, Su Bai had always been amiable in the national team, and his voice had never been as cold and icy as it was today.

"No reason, just because I'm the head coach of the 400-meter event, and I don't need athletes like you under my command!"

Ding Ruihan's eyes widened. "Huh! You don't want a runner like me? What kind? Those who change events? Those who can't even run a corner start well?"

As he spoke, Ding Ruihan laughed: "Everyone says you are awesome, but in the end, there are only a few athletes who specialize in the 400m? Are there so many talented 400m athletes who are left behind in other events? You don't value athletes who specialize in the 400m, and you want to drive me away?"

Ding Ruihan didn't think that Su Bai would really drive him away. His coach had told him that even though the national team now had Zhang Ziyi, Guo Dun, Qiu Wen, and Li Junhao, it was still short of people, especially in the 4x400m relay. Guo Dun's personal strength would obviously affect the performance of the entire team.

In addition, Su Bai now needs a new core who can occasionally replace Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen.

In Ding Ruihan's opinion, he is definitely the best 400-meter runner under the age of 20 in China. Compared with adult athletes, there are not many who can beat him.

"Can these guys defeat me?"

Ding Ruihan almost pointed at Su Bai and said, "You have no vision."

The other players around were all stunned. They had seen some hooligans and troublemakers in sports schools or provincial teams among the players present, but they had never seen anyone as stupid as Ding Ruihan to come to the national team.

"...What courage! It's outrageous!" Qiu Mingjie whispered to Zhuo Yutang beside him, with a look of deep shock on his face.

After hearing what Ding Ruihan said, Su Bai seemed to be amused. He looked at Ding Ruihan with a smile, then said calmly, "Your talent is indeed not the best among this batch of tryout contestants."

Hearing what Su Bai said, Ding Ruihan's eyes widened instantly. He stared at Su Bai fiercely: "This is impossible!"
