Chapter 13
Not far away, Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan saw Su Yu being stopped by someone. They were planning to quickly approach Su Yu, but before they got close, they found that the young general who stopped Su Yu had changed his expression.
Su Yu frowned, with an annoyed look on her pretty face.
The morning training had just ended, and the feeling of being seen through by Pei Dingshan was still lingering in his heart. Coupled with the sticky feeling on his body that made him irritated and want to go back and wash off quickly, coupled with the fact that he was irritated by Zhou Yuang, his face naturally looked more impatient when he looked at the young player opposite him.
He looked directly at the young general in front of him and asked coldly, "Yes, why would Pei Dingshan be interested in someone as weak as me? If even I was chosen by Pei Dingshan, why didn't he want to choose you? Isn't it clear who should withdraw?"
"Even if Pei Dingshan picked me up, I should have the good sense to withdraw voluntarily. Then shouldn't you, who is not valued by Pei Dingshan at all, have the good sense to withdraw voluntarily from the provincial team's youth group?"
The young general in front of him was so arrogant a few seconds ago, but the next second he was speechless because of the sickly boy in front of him.
"you……!"
Su Yu looked at him impatiently: "What am I doing?"
"You are shameless!"
Su Yu really didn't want to quarrel with this elementary school kid, so he walked around him without looking back and continued walking towards the dormitory.
The young general obviously wanted to say something, but Su Yu frowned and looked at him before leaving: "If you want to train under Pei Dingshan, you should look for him, not me."
After saying that, he never bothered to look back again.
The young general was stunned for a moment and was about to chase forward, but he found that both his shoulders were held down. Looking back, he saw Zhou Yuan on the left and Jiang Yuan on the right.
The two evil stars on the left and right were looking at him with a "kind" smile.
Jiang Yuan: "Xiaoyu is very tired from training and needs to rest."
Zhou Yuang: "My friend, is our little ancestor someone you can just chat with?"
Young General: ...Fuck you, who the hell wants to chat up him? !
Seeing that the young general still seemed unconvinced, Jiang Yuan, with a gentle and amiable smile, began to utter a series of vicious words.
"Has Coach Pei ever taken a fancy to you?"
"Is Coach Pei willing to accept you?"
"Before Xiaoyu and Angzi came to the provincial team, he screened the players for the provincial team. Were you selected?"
"If there is none of these, why do you think that after Xiaoyu quits, Coach Pei will settle for you as a second choice?"
"Friends, it's not about whether you want it or not, think about whether you deserve it first."
After this string of vicious words, not only Zhou Yuang was dumbfounded, but the young general who came to block Su Yu also looked defeated on the spot.
“You, you guys!”
The young general was first confronted by Su Yu until his face turned pale, and then he was beaten up by Jiang Yuan. Now he couldn't come up with a follow-up after scolding him for a long time, and finally fled in embarrassment.
It was not until the young general ran away that Zhou Yuang clapped his hands in astonishment: "Awesome, Yuanzi! I thought our young ancestor's answer was fierce enough, but I didn't expect there would be someone even stronger than him!"
Jiang Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He waved his hand and chased in the direction of Su Yu, leaving Zhou Yuang behind, walking slowly and scratching his head.
"It's so pitiful. Why did he offend these two vicious-tongued brothers when he could offend anyone else?"
"Oh, by the way, who was that guy who just came to cause trouble?"
It was not until this moment that Zhou Yuang suddenly came to his senses - this guy who came to cause trouble was chased away by his poisonous-tongued brothers before he could even leave his name. He was such a miserable cannon fodder that he didn't even deserve a name.
***
I don’t know if it’s because of Cannon Fodder’s propaganda, but when Su Yu, Jiang Yuan and others came to the training ground again in the afternoon, there were many more people around who were watching them cautiously.
Zhou Yuang observed these gazes and whispered to Su Yu and Jiang Yuan: "Yuanzi, look, you and our little ancestor have become 'notorious' this time."
Jiang Yuan didn't care about any of this. To him, 'becoming a provincial team player' had never been part of his life plan. Even though he was unexpectedly selected by Liu Wenjian to start training with the junior players, he actually didn't have any real sense of it all yet.
To Jiang Yuan, these players of the youth team are no different from other students in the summer camp. After this summer camp period, no one will know each other.
Furthermore, he looked at Zhou Yuang and said, "Didn't you say that, Angzi? Competitive sports only look at strength. As long as we are strong enough, we can do whatever we want."
Zhou Yuang was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Yuan who usually took care of Su Yu like an old mother and said this, then he suddenly laughed: "Good guy, Yuanzi, I suddenly feel that you also have a very suitable personality for competition."
He patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, and under Su Yu's glare, he retracted his claws that were about to touch him.
"Hehe, Yuanzi is right. As long as we are strong enough, we can do whatever we want."
"Don't worry about those sour and cowardly guys, let's go, the coach is waiting for us to train!"
***
Starting from this afternoon, Su Yu and Zhou Yuang began their formal training.
After Zhou Yuang was enlightened by Su Yu, he made up his mind to just follow Pei Dingshan's instructions. While being obedient, he also began to ask Pei Dingshan about various training principles that he did not understand.
Although Pei Dingshan seems cold and unapproachable, he does not respond perfunctorily to Zhou Yuang's questions.
Just like what he said to Zhou Yuang before - finally grew a mouth? If you don’t understand, ask. If you don’t ask, don’t expect others to always understand your thoughts.
Of course, according to Zhou Yuang's later observation, his coach's words were probably only directed at himself.
After all, their little ancestor is not very willing to talk. When he has questions, he will frown and think for a long time at first. Maybe it's because the little ancestor and Pei Dingshan have always had a bad aura, so every time the little ancestor will keep his head down for a while before looking up at the coach and asking him "why".
Later on, whenever their little ancestor frowned for a while, their coach Pei would take the initiative to ask him what was wrong.
After Zhou Yuang observed this several times, he couldn't help but fall into a strange silence.
As expected, between him and the little ancestor, he is the only one who gets the buy one get one free deal, right?
This period of time was definitely not an easy training process for either Su Yu or Zhou Yuang.
For Su Yu, although the amount of training this time is much lighter than what he remembered from the summer camp training, this lightness does not mean that the training is easy, but it only puts less strain and damage on his body.
Apart from the fact that the intensity of the exercise was relatively light, Pei Dingshan did not cut any corners on the part he was supposed to exercise. He would just stand by with an expressionless face and point out the mistakes in his every movement and the mistakes he made repeatedly.
In fact, Su Yu's memory was already very good, and he could basically complete the training requirements given to him by Pei Dingshan accurately. However, he did not have enough training experience after all, and his body had not yet formed a stable muscle memory for all the sprint training. Even if he had paid attention, some mistakes were still inevitable.
"The fourth time."
When Su Yu stood up from the starting blocks again, he heard Pei Dingshan coldly spit out these three words.
Su Yu: “…”
After Su Yu managed to calm his breathing, he responded with a muffled "hmm".
This is the rule set between Pei Dingshan and Su Yu. When Su Yu makes five obvious mistakes in daily training, Pei Dingshan will give him an extra theory class that night as punishment.
The reason for setting this kind of "punishment" was purely because Su Yu's physical condition was not suitable for extra training as a "punishment". Pei Dingshan also discovered that Su Yu seemed to have a special resistance to him, so he changed the punishment for Su Yu to add a 1v1 theory class in the evening.
Coincidentally, Pei Dingshan never thought that athletes did not need to know theory - some coaches believed that practice makes perfect, but he did not think so.
In fact, athletes are the ones who are most familiar with their own bodies. In the early stages when athletes’ abilities are low, coaches need to provide guidance and theoretical support to athletes. However, as athletes’ competitive levels improve, their personal theoretical knowledge reserves must also be improved.
Only by better mastering theoretical knowledge can athletes better think about which direction they should develop in order to improve their personal abilities.
However, if athletes are allowed to train blindly under the guidance of coaches during their youth in order to achieve the so-called "practice makes perfect" and "you'll understand it later", there is a great possibility that the athletes will develop some difficult-to-correct wrong habits in the details that the coach failed to observe.
In fact, Su Yu also knew that Pei Dingshan’s 1v1 theory class with him was not a simple punishment, but perhaps the early resistance had already formed, so when facing Pei Dingshan, it was really difficult for him not to feel irritated.
When he heard the word "fourth time", Su Yu pursed his lips, reviewing where he made mistakes in his starting action just now.
"Hip."
Pei Dingshan just whispered three words, and Su Yu quickly reacted. In the starting training just now, he paid more attention to the starting preparatory posture and the forward inclination angle of his body trunk, forgetting the process of force transmission from the hip joint first, and failed to use his hip joint strength well.
This mistake is not big or small. After all, for a player like him with no basic skills, it is not an easy task to quickly master what hip joint force is. But it is obvious that Pei Dingshan's requirements and expectations for him are far more than that.
If ordinary coaches were to watch the training model of these two people, they would definitely think that these two people are really "one dares to teach and the other dares to learn". After all, their training model is all about pursuing quality rather than quantity, which always makes grassroots coaches feel uneasy.
In addition, some other coaches of the provincial team also knew that Pei Dingshan was particularly optimistic about Su Yu, so from time to time people would come to watch Pei Dingshan's training of Su Yu, and while watching, they would still express their concerns about Su Yu's situation.
"Xiao Pei, Su Yu's explosive power is really not good enough. Can he really get up to speed during the start phase and the entire running process?"
Pei Dingshan was very calm about this. He said calmly: "At Su Yu's current competitive level, the impact of being behind at the start is not as big as everyone expected. In addition to the high requirements for maximum strength at the start, the subsequent mid-run and sprint stages are actually more critical factors affecting speed, which are the efficiency of using strength and the ability to use elastic potential energy."
Pei Dingshan's theory was still relatively unfamiliar to the provincial team coaches, who were skeptical about it. When discussing privately, they often said, "It doesn't matter. We'll know how effective Pei's training is when the final test match begins."
As for Zhou Yuang, who was offered the 'buy one get one free' gift, he had been in the painful process of relearning sprinting techniques during this period. The mere task of changing the active leg was enough to overwhelm him. Although he had prepared himself mentally, Zhou Yuang encountered many setbacks during this period of relearning and changing the active leg. He always had the illusion that he could no longer run.
When he was really in pain, he briefly regretted whether what he did was right or wrong, but in the process of training with Su Yu, he also saw how Su Yu, whose physical condition was far inferior to his, gritted his teeth and trained in a field that he had never been exposed to until his face was pale and sweating profusely.
It's no wonder that every time Zhou Yuang saw the little ancestor in their dormitory 303 gritting his teeth and training stubbornly, he felt that the difficulties in his training didn't seem to be too great.
As the training time passed by bit by bit, the 38-day summer camp training time was almost gone.
As the end of the summer camp draws near, the start time of the summer camp closing test match, which is the qualifier for the 'National U16 Track and Field Base Competition', is also getting closer!
