After Zhao Si and the others left, Gu Lingfeng quickly got up. He had important matters to attend to today and couldn't stay here. He quickly washed up, frowned at the clothes he had worn yesterday, which were stained with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, and finally dug out a new set from Zhao Si's suitcase and left.
When Zhao Si came back at noon, Gu Lingfeng had already left. He had actually sent a WeChat message to Zhao Si, but Zhao Si still felt an indescribable sense of loss when he looked at the empty bed.
Su Nan tiptoed to the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Si was the only one in the room. He didn't want to see his boss in there again.
The afternoon match was badminton, which is both complex and simple. We ordinary people don't really follow the rules when playing badminton; as long as we can hit the ball without going out of bounds, it's a good shot.
But in fact, there are many rules in badminton games, and they are very detailed. For example, there are many rules for serving. The ball cannot be thrown up when serving, and the hitting position cannot be higher than the hand and waist; the serve must be made diagonally; the racket must be facing downward and not upward when serving; the feet cannot move when serving; the racket must be sent out at one time when serving, without pauses or multiple draws of the racket, etc.
None of us are professional badminton players. Except for a few people who like to play badminton or are good at all sports and understand these things, others are exhausted just trying to figure out the rules. The first step is to screen out a group of players.
"Aren't you going to sign up?" Su Nan, Shu Qiao and Deng Hai all automatically withdrew from the competition. Now they all looked at Zhao Si who was standing with them strangely and asked.
Zhao Si was a little hesitant. He actually wanted to participate, but he really didn't understand the rules... It was too complicated for him.
"I don't know how." Zhao Si looked at the contestants who were gathered in a circle to register, and said with some envy and helplessness.
"It's okay, you can learn if you don't know." Shu Qiao patted his shoulder to encourage him, but in his heart he wanted to laugh because finally there was someone Zhao Si who didn't know how to do it.
Deng Hai also nodded to Zhao Si with encouragement, and the little fat on his face trembled.
"Go ahead, you can do it." Sunan believed in Zhao Si's ability. Didn't Zhao Si also know how to play table tennis, but he still won the championship? Not to mention badminton. Sunan selfishly thought that badminton was easier than table tennis.
After three consecutive encouragements, Zhao Si seemed to have gained more confidence. Thinking about the gold cup hidden in the box, he happily went to sign up. In the end, there were 18 boys and 9 girls who signed up.
The competition system of badminton and table tennis is similar. The first part is an elimination round, but badminton is a best-of-three game. The person who gets 21 points first in each game wins. If the game is still tied after 20 points, the person who is 2 points ahead wins. If the game is still tied after 29 points, the person who gets 30 points first wins.
The competition was still decided by drawing lots. Zhao Si was unlucky this time. His first opponent was Yang Zhen, a handsome guy from Team 10, a sports student. At least in terms of rules and techniques, he had already defeated Zhao Si.
Before the competition started, there were already many more people waiting to watch Zhao Si at the scene and in the live broadcast room. Before, no one took Zhao Si seriously, thinking that he was just an unknown celebrity who was sent in by some company to collect the announcement fee. Unexpectedly, in just a day and a half, Zhao Si had already won three first places and two gold cups.
Zhao Si's performance not only attracted a lot of people's attention but also disrupted many of the program crew's arrangements. However, it was obvious that the program crew was very happy to see this happen. Before, the director was afraid that the program was not exciting enough and had not made enough highlights, so he secretly arranged a lot of horse-catching tricks. Now a dark horse suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Although Zhao Si was not aware of it, the program crew had actually secretly bought several waves of hot searches for him, especially the long jump in the morning. With just one casual jump, he broke China's long jump record. Not to mention netizens, even Zhang Chenggang was amazed and privately asked the director about Zhao Si's background.
Zhao Si didn't know that he had caused a sensation on the Internet. Gu Lingfeng immediately called Su Nan and asked him not to tell Zhao Si and asked Shu Qiao and others not to tell him either, so as not to disturb Zhao Si's mood for the competition.
So when Zhao Si was hesitating whether to participate in the badminton competition, they all persuaded him. On the one hand, it was because they thought Zhao Si could do it, and on the other hand, the program team was afraid that Zhao Si really would not participate, so they secretly asked them to persuade him.
Of course, Su Nan must have advised Zhao Sixing because he felt that the program crew had nothing to do with him and they didn't give him any money. However, he didn't know about Shu Qiao and Deng Hai.
Preparations complete, the match officially begins. Zhao Si doesn't get the serve, but he secretly breathes a sigh of relief. He'd taken advantage of the preparation time to pore over the rules of the game, but he still hadn't fully grasped them. He needed to seize every opportunity to learn.
0:0, the first ball should be played in the right service area. Yang Zhen stood in the right service area, looking at Zhao Si standing across from him in silence. He raised his hand to signal, but Zhao Si still did not move.
Yang Zhen reluctantly put down his racket and pointed to Zhao Si's right, "...You should stand over there."
Zhao Si looked to the side, recalled the rules he had just cram schooled on, and nodded, "Oh."
Apart from anything else, Zhao Si had a very good attitude. He changed positions obediently. Yang Zhen prepared to serve, and Zhao Si followed suit.
Yang Zhen served the ball well, with both speed and height, but it was not difficult for Zhao Si to catch the ball. However, he could not control the strength well, and the ball went out of bounds.
Yang Zhen scored a point first, and he was still serving, 1:0. This time it was time to serve from the left. Zhao Si looked at his position and understood a little, so he also changed to the left.
Just like in a table tennis match, Zhao Si hit the ball out of bounds several times in a row. However, in a badminton match, the scoring side keeps serving as long as they score points, so Zhao Si had not served a single ball yet.
