Dai Li was a little curious, and he wanted to find out the cause and effect of the matter.
So Li Dai said: "Zhao Yue, you may have forgotten me. Three years ago, I was seconded to the Beikou Training Base, and I met you at that time."
Zhao Yue also knows that the coaches who are seconded to the Beikou training base from other places do the hard work of handymen, which is not an honorable thing. Zhao Yue didn't point it out, but made a look of realization: "No wonder you look familiar to me. It turns out we have actually met before."
In fact, Zhao Yue still didn't think of Li Dai. Every year, there were not one hundred but eighty coaches seconded to the Beikou training base, and they usually stayed for three months before going back. Now, after three years, Zhao Yue said to Li Dai The only impression left on Dai was that he looked familiar.
"I heard that you retired. Why? You are young and can still work for another four or five years. Is it because of injury?" Li Dai asked.
"Hey!" Zhao Yue sighed: "It's an injury. To be precise, it's a disease. Oh, no, it should be said to be a misdiagnosis!"
"Misdiagnosis? A misdiagnosis won't lead to retirement, right? What's going on?" Dai Li continued to ask.
"About three years ago, maybe less than three years ago, I felt some pain in my knee during training. I didn't take it seriously at first, but later, during the team's routine inspection, I found that I had some pain in my knee. There is a lump in the knee." Zhao Yue began to tell.
"Lump? This is a big or small condition! Have you done any further examination?" Li Dai wanted to know more information, so he deliberately showed a caring tone in order to get closer to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue was also fooled. He continued: "At that time, the national team arranged for me to undergo further examinations. It was precisely because of this examination that my career was directly ruined. You guessed it, the diagnosis concluded by the doctor at that time was What?"
"What is it?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"Bone cancer!" Zhao Yue sighed in pain: "I was immediately confused at the time. It was bone cancer, and the doctor also told me that I had to amputate my legs and saw them off, otherwise, the cancer cells would spread. Even his life is gone!”
Zhao Yue seemed a little excited when he said this. He spoke much faster: "I am a sprinter. My career, my dreams, everything about me is on this leg. How can I put my leg on it?" Saw it off! How could I lose this leg!”
Zhao Yue paused, calmed down, and then said: "So the treatment I chose, I want to save this leg, I plan to undergo chemotherapy, but that will cost a lot of money, you know, cancer treatment , it is possible to spend 1.8 million..."
"I remember that the national team should have an injury treatment fund for athletes, right? Have you applied for it? It is estimated that if it costs hundreds of thousands, you can apply for it, right?" Li Dai asked.
"Of course I applied! But my application was not approved. The national team said that bone cancer is a disease caused by myself, rather than an injury caused by training or competition, so I cannot use the athlete's injury treatment fund. In the end They gave me a condolence payment of 10,000 yuan and let it go."
Zhao Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head: "For bone cancer, what is ten thousand yuan? Even the surgical fee for amputation is not enough! If it is really an amputation, you will have to make a prosthetic limb in the future. A prosthetic limb costs one hundred and eighty thousand yuan." It’s not enough. But things that make me even more desperate are yet to come.”
There was hatred in Zhao Yue's eyes, and he continued: "After knowing that I had bone cancer, the national team asked me to retire, forced me to retire, gave me a retirement fee of 50,000 yuan, and told me to get out! Ha! They abandoned me when I needed help the most!"
Dai Li frowned, not expecting such a result. Fifty thousand yuan was indeed a drop in the bucket compared to the huge treatment costs for bone cancer. Even Dai Li thought this result was too cruel.
"What? You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either! But think about it, the chance of curing bone cancer is very low. Even if it is cured, after a long period of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, I will not be able to run as before. ! If the leg is amputated, I will become a disabled person. Maybe the Sports Association for People with Disabilities can want me? Anyway, the national team does not need a lame man with missing legs! For the national team, I have no use any more! I'm just an abandoned child." Zhao Yue's words were full of anger.
"You later found out that bone cancer was just a misdiagnosis?" Li Dai asked.
Zhao Yue nodded: "In order to treat me and save my legs, my family sold the house, and then sent me to the United States to find an authoritative expert in the treatment of bone cancer. I underwent treatment in the United States. After detailed diagnosis, it was finally determined that the lump in the knee was not bone cancer, but a clot of blood."
"Is it serious?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"It's not serious, but in order to be completely cured, I still chose to undergo treatment in the United States." Zhao Yue smiled sadly, and then said: "I am not a famous athlete like Lin Feixiang, and I don't have that much money. So at that time When I was undergoing treatment in the United States, I rented the cheapest house in a neighborhood where I would be robbed if I went out during the day. All the money I brought to the United States was spent on treatment, and I didn’t even have any extra money to eat. To survive, I have to work, but I don’t have a work visa, so I can only work illegally, a job that pays very little and is very dirty. I can only endure it!”
Zhao Yue seemed to not want to recall his experience in the United States. He took a deep breath and continued: "Later, my leg was finally cured. It was completely cured, but my family owed a huge debt. .And I, apart from being an athlete, I don’t have any skills!”
"I started practicing sprinting when I was nine years old. I only know how to run and be an athlete. I don't know anything else. Although I have a bachelor's degree from a university, I only got it by being in school. I don't know anything about it. I haven’t taken any classes in college! I don’t have any skills, and I can only play games on the computer. I can’t find a job at all.”
"Your leg has healed, why don't you return to the national team?" As soon as Li Dai asked, he felt that he had asked a very stupid question.
"Return to the national team? They treat me as an abandoned child, why should I go back again?" Zhao Yue snorted coldly, and then said: "And it is impossible for me to go back. I missed two years, and these two years, These are the two years when an athlete’s physical condition is at its peak in an athlete’s life!”
After Zhao Yue finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of his coach: "Fortunately, Nandu University accepted me, recruited me as a master's student, and provided me with a scholarship. I know they hope that I can contribute to Nandu University. And if I can get the grades, I might be able to stay in school as a coach. Even if I can't stay in school, I plan to study seriously for a few years, so that I can at least have a skill and find a job to support myself. Work!"
"I understand!" Li Dai nodded. He finally understood why Zhao Yue had such a big reaction to the words "national team."
