The sky is gloomy and sad.
No matter whether it is a luxury bus or not, after the competitions, the buses in Tiezhong are always bustling and noisy.
The team members chattered about various topics and asked for delicious food.
This time, almost no one spoke. Even when the school leaders told everyone which famous roast duck restaurant they were going to eat, there was no enthusiastic response.
Some players closed their eyes, some shed tears secretly, and some couldn't help crying out loud.
It wasn’t Wang Yijing. Although Princess Wang’s tears were already flowing, she didn’t make any sound.
——Crying is of no use.
But she could control her voice now, but she couldn't control her tears.
The one who cried was Huang Sumei.
This girl, who usually doesn't talk much and doesn't have a strong presence, couldn't control her emotions at this moment.
Jia Keke persuaded her softly: "Don't cry, or I won't be able to hold it back..."
As she said this, tears began to come out of her voice. The sobbing sounds around her suddenly increased. Jia Keke expressed the thoughts of many people.
"S-Sorry..." Huang Sumei tried her best to be patient, but she couldn't help it, "I just thought that this was our last game..."
…
…………
There was a moment of silence after Huang Sumei said that, and then almost everyone burst into tears.
They were upset earlier, mostly because they lost the game.
Just one step away!
At first, they were full of anticipation for the national competition, but when it really came, they felt that... it was no different from the provincial competition?
The venue was not more advanced, and there were not more spectators on either side... Well, to be honest, the one where they competed with Yongcheng was more grand.
Although that was Yongcheng's cheerleading team, it had the most people.
But after each game, they wanted to watch the finals.
Maybe, the venue and the coach are not much different, but the scenery should be different!
It’s different every time you think about it.
But now, they can't go on.
Things that seemed unimportant earlier are now extremely precious.
When Huang Sumei said that, they suddenly realized that the end of this game was not as simple as not being able to go on!
There may still be a chance for them in their first and second year of high school, but for them in their third year of high school, it’s all over.
Fan Jiajia had been resting with her eyes closed, pretending not to care, but now she couldn't help crying. Su Li next to her also cried. Fan Jiajia glared at her: "Why are you crying!"
"What do you care about me?" Su Li also glared at her.
The two of them stared at each other, and Fan Jiajia gritted her teeth and said, "You're only in the first year of high school!"
"You're a senior now!"
Fan Jiajia felt a surge of anger rising in her chest. Yes, yes, she was in her third year of high school, and most people here were in their third year of high school! Their high school game is over, their high school football ends here! they……
She was about to say something else when Su Li hugged her...
The school leader looked embarrassed. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he felt a little regretful, but also felt pretty good.
Fourth in the country! Not to mention a school like theirs that can't even get fourth place in the city in other aspects. Even if they let the best high school in the city come, is there any aspect in which they can get fourth place in the country?
So he is completely unable to understand the sadness of his players now - with this result, even if the school takes away some of the quotas, it can almost guarantee that all the main players can go to school! This has never happened in the past!
He glanced at Coach Ni and saw that her face was stern, so he swallowed the words on his lips. He looked at Wang Hao again and saw that his eyes were red. He froze for a moment, rubbed his nose, and lowered his head - no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to keep consistent with everyone in the situation.
Everyone didn't cry for too long before they slowly stopped - most of them were not used to crying. After all the voices stopped, Coach Ni said: "Actually, I think you have done very well. You did very well in this game, you did very well in this national competition, and you have done very well since the provincial competition."
No one spoke.
"Of course, there will be regrets and things that are not done well enough, but think about it yourself, if you were to start over, could you do better?"
When Coach Ni said this earlier, everyone felt comforted on the one hand, but on the other hand, they also felt that they had not done enough.
They all had the opportunity to do more.
But Coach Ni's question stumped them again.
Can we do better?
Wang Yijing had to answer this question, and she was a little confused. If she went back with her current memory, she could certainly do better. She could use her time more effectively and... at the very least, complete one more task and save up one more free point. Then she could use this point to add the Crescent Moon Sabre, or to strengthen her physique. No matter which of these two points changed, the ball should have gone in!
But, if she simply went back without this memory, could she do better?
"You have done very well." Coach Ni said again, "If you have any regrets, then remember how you feel now and do better in the future!"
All the players nodded heavily.
"Also, Huang Sumei, you are wrong."
Huang Sumei looked surprised with two swollen eyes from crying. Coach Ni smiled and said, "We just can't enter the finals now."
"ah?"
Huang Sumei still couldn't understand it, but Jia Keke beside her had already reacted: "We still have to fight for third place!"
Everyone in the carriage was cheered up. In terms of ranking, there was actually not much difference between third and fourth place, but when they thought that they could still compete together, they all became excited again.
"We must get third place!"
"must!"
Everyone raised their fists together. Wang Yijing approached Zhang Sheng, leaned over to her ear, and whispered softly, "Captain...is your foot okay?"
Zhang Sheng glanced at her sideways, Wang Yijing stared at her with wide eyes, and Zhang Sheng reached out and rubbed her head.
"So is there anything wrong?"
"It'll be fine!"
Even Zhang Sheng couldn't guarantee it now. Coach Ni was confident that it would be fine based on his experience. Wang Hao studied sports injuries, so based on his professional knowledge, he was confident that it would be fine too. But there was no equipment, so they had to go back to the hospital to be sure. The reason they wanted to go back was because they had made the decision after communicating with the referee from the imperial capital earlier.
The small clinic doesn't have any equipment, and there may not be a long queue at the big hospital today. Zhang Sheng's injury is not too serious, so it is better to go back to Biandong for a check-up.
The players of Tiezhong cried their hearts out in the car, but they were received like heroes when they returned to Biandong. The principal of Tiezhong specially praised their achievements at the meeting on Monday. The daily and provincial newspapers reported it, not to mention the school itself.
However, these team members did not pay too much attention to it. It was not because they did not like it, but there was another thing that worried them more - the injuries of Zhang Sheng and Wang Yijing.
Wang Yijing thought she was fine, but she kept touching her right leg, which was discovered by Zhang Sheng. After asking about the situation, he immediately asked her to go for a check-up with him. The Wang couple also cared about this matter very much. Wang Wenbo was not at home, so Xu Saisai rushed over immediately.
The result of the inspection was that everything was basically fine.
Neither Wang Yijing nor Zhang Sheng were seriously injured. Zhang Sheng just sprained his ankle and will just need to rest for a while. Wang Yijing didn't even need to rest. The doctor said she was probably too tired at the time, and the other reason was the weather. In fact, Zhang Sheng’s sprain was also due to these two reasons. If they had not fought so hard against Imperial Capital No. 4 Middle School in the last game, the game against Fog City No. 8 Middle School would not have turned out like this.
Xu Saisai knew that her precious daughter was so tired, and she felt extremely distressed. She once again talked to Wang Yijing about giving up.
Of course Wang Yajing would not give up, and Xu Saisai could not help but talk about this with Wang Wenbo on the phone again.
Wang Wenbo didn't care too much. He never cared much about what his daughter learned or wanted. As long as the little girl was happy, that was all that mattered. Although playing football is not something a girl should do, since my daughter likes it, let her do it.
"It's not what you said. Normally she could just kick the ball, but you see, she was almost injured this time... Her teammate needs to recover for two weeks, and this is just a minor injury! If it's serious, there may be a fracture!"
"Then you can't explain it either... If you can't explain it, I can't explain it either. Why don't you try Hengheng? They are siblings and are easier to talk to."
Xu Saisai found Wang Yiheng again. Wang Yiheng was against Wang Yijing playing football at first, but he changed after following her in the provincial competition. After watching the entire National Day competition, he was even more supportive. However, Xu Saisai also had something to say: "I didn't know that playing football was so dangerous before! It's not that I didn't know, but I didn't expect that little girls like them could play so fiercely. If your sister keeps playing, she's bound to get hurt!"
Wang Yiheng responded.
"Heng Heng?"
"No, Mom, it's just... what's wrong with being injured? Didn't I get injured playing basketball before? You and Dad didn't say anything."
"Your sister can be the same as you? She's a girl!"
Wang Yiheng didn't say anything.
"Heng Heng?"
"...Mom, I think you guys are...not very nice to my sister. No, I'm not saying you're not nice to her, but the way you do it doesn't seem very nice. I can't really tell you why it's not nice, but...but I won't persuade you. I think my sister is doing very well now. She has talent in this area, so she should keep doing it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Saisai's voice became louder. Xu Saisai was really angry this time. She claimed that she was devoted to her two children. When the child was young, she was responsible for taking care of three meals a day, picking him up and dropping him off, and tutoring him with his homework. She is strict with the older ones, but dotes on the younger ones. Now the older one has been admitted to a prestigious university. Although the younger one is not very good at studying, she was well-behaved and obedient before. Everyone would say she was a good girl. Now she ends up in a bad situation?
What's wrong? To be honest, she is a little biased towards the younger ones!
She thought that Wang Yajing would get married sooner or later. Although times had changed and a daughter-in-law's life was not as difficult as in the past, it was still different from that of a man. I just wanted her to be as active as possible when she was a girl. She can learn whatever she wants to learn and not learn anything she doesn't want to learn. Buy her whatever she wants. She would think twice before using a beauty card worth several hundred dollars for herself, but she is willing to spend the money to buy clothes for her daughter! What's wrong?
She kept talking and Wang Yiheng had no energy to talk back.
In fact, he never felt that his parents were bad to Wang Yijing in the past. When he was young, he even felt that his parents favored his younger sister.
Why does my sister not have to do anything?
Why can my sister not consider her grades?
Why shouldn’t my younger sister be scolded for making the same mistake? Will you even be comforted if you cry a bit?
Of course, as he grew older, these thoughts diminished. After all, his parents are nice to him, and his sister is really cute.
However, he began to feel that something was wrong with Wang Yijing's playing football. Although he initially wondered why girls should play football, he gradually changed his mind. As for his parents, they no longer stopped her, but it was not because they thought Wang Yijing was good at playing football. Rather, they had a feeling of, "If you like it, then go ahead and play."
He was very excited that Tiezhong entered the national competition, but his parents... were just happy. He was not saying that this happiness was wrong, but it made him think of the scene when their basketball team won a place in Biandong City one year.
He just got good grades in the city, and his parents started to imagine his development in basketball. However, Wang Yijing has entered the national competition, and his parents don’t seem to have thought about her development in football?
Yes, the development prospects of women’s football are indeed not very good, but there is still the World Championships! You can also play football abroad! How could his parents not think about it? He wants them all!
His parents favor boys over girls? As soon as this thought came to his mind, he automatically suppressed it, because his parents had always been very good to his sister, and their satisfaction was almost unconditional. How could this be considered as favoring boys over girls?
He couldn't figure it out, so he told Li Kun about it when he was chatting with him.
Li Kun and he did not go to the same university and even lived in different cities, but they went to the same junior high and high school together and were on the same basketball team. They have a very close relationship and they still chat on Penguin from time to time. He typed these words, but Li Kun didn't respond for a long time. He thought he was disconnected. Just as he was about to send another emoticon, Li Kun called him.
"Is there no internet over there?" Wang Yiheng asked.
"No, I just feel that I should say this to you on the phone... Actually, I should say it to you in person... Well, actually I shouldn't have said it." Li Kun hesitated.
"What are you talking about, kid? Tell me now!"
"It's the question you asked just now. Your family is well off now. If it were not so, who do you think would be able to go to school, you or your sister?"
I!
Wang Yiheng knew the answer without even thinking about it, and then his whole body stiffened.
The author has something to say:
I watched a documentary about Japanese youth training earlier, and there was something very good said by a coach in the video - I hope you can all become great losers. He was saying this to his players. They are a wealthy and powerful team, but they cannot guarantee that they can dominate every year and enter the finals every year.
