This year's championship game is held in s city. As an idol of the whole people, Tang Yibai already has a large number of fans, and the tickets for the games in the time period with his projects are always sold out early. Some fans who didn't get tickets waited in groups outside the swimming pool, unwilling to leave for a long time, not knowing what miracle would happen, or simply wanting to be closer to their idols.
Yun Duo took pictures of the long queue outside the ticket window to prove that "the swimming pool is still hot and the situation is very good". After taking the photo, she thought wretly that if she took advantage of this time to resell the tickets for the match between Tang Yibai and Qi Ruifeng, she would definitely make a small fortune.
Tang Yibai's time in the men's 100-meter self-final in this championship was 47.91 seconds, which was a little worse than last year's best time of 47.74 seconds, but that didn't explain anything. 47.74 seconds came out of the upper reaches of the Asian Games. In fact, if he also compares his last medley relay result at that time, this figure is not his best result. But the Asian Games and the championship are not the same concept, and naturally they will give birth to different performances. For these athletes in China who have already got tickets, the championship is just a moment of adjustment, and the real highlight is this summer's World Championships. The best form is naturally to stay in the most important game.
However, from a global perspective, 47 seconds 91 ranks third in the world this year, which is a good ranking. The two people in front of him are Australian star Sanger and former Olympic champion Elpsey. Sanger was the 100-meter self-runner in the last Olympic Games, and he is very strong; Elpsey has declined due to his age. After all, he has already won two Olympic gold medals. His best result this year is only 0.06 faster than Tang Yibai. second. In addition to these two people, French teenager Beate ranked fourth with a time of 47.90 seconds, almost the same as Tang Yibai. Beatr had had a little unpleasantness with Tang Yibai in Australia last year. Of course, Tang Yibai felt that this trivial matter should not be taken seriously.
Among the three, the most competitive with Tang Yibai are Elpsey and Beatr, whose scores are relatively close. When Tang Yibai's name was put together with Elpsey, many people couldn't help thinking of Oolong at the press conference more than a year ago. At that time, how many people thought that "Tang Yibai was going to challenge Elpsey" was grandstanding? And now, this Chinese athlete who has gathered the hopes of countless people is only one step away from the world famous player.
Not even one step.
When a reporter mentioned this to Tang Yibai again, Tang Yibai smiled slightly, "What I want to challenge now is Sanger, and my goal is the world championship, always."
The reporter was surprised by this answer. I always feel that Tang Yibai has become arrogant...
And Tang Yibai's fans are all excited when they see this interview: Oooooooo, I'm cool, handsome and arrogant! Bai Shao, come to love and marry me!
After Wu Yong learned about this, he blamed Tang Yibai, "Why do you owe the door now? Sanger's state is at its peak, it's easier said than done to win him, you are boasting now, if you lose then , to see who gets slapped in the face."
Tang Yibai didn't care, "Just slap you in the face, I'm thick-skinned, so I'm not afraid of slaps."
Tang Yibai's goals were too high, and the time was running out. Wu Yong didn't even leave him for vacation. After the championship game, he returned to the team and went straight to the pool. He could go home at times like this before. This time, he desperately wanted to go home to see the clouds, and he lowered his face to ask President Wu, who shook his beard and asked him with a sneer, "Do you still want to win Sanger? Let it go! My girlfriend can't be lost if she stays there, but the gold medal will grow wings and fly away at any time!"
So he didn't take the opportunity to go home and date Yun Duo, and could only wait for Yun Duo to come to him when he was free.
But having a meal in the public canteen, taking a walk in the playground, or at most being intimate alone in the dormitory, what kind of date is this!
After such a miserable time, Wu Yong couldn't stand it anymore. Next, Tang Yibai's arrangements will only be more tense. He will go to the plateau in May, go to Australia for foreign training in June, the national team will train in July, and the World Championships will officially start in August... If he doesn't have time to date his girlfriend now, I'm afraid I won't have more time in the future. For more than three months in a row, including the previous month, this is more than four months, and they will not be given a day
Too ruthless, this king can't do it!
So when Tang Yibai came out of the pool that day, Wu Yong told him with a blank face: "I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Note that there is only one day, and then you have to give me solid training for the next three months. Any distractions, do you hear?"
Tang Yibai was overjoyed, "Okay, sure! Thank you Mr. Wu!" He turned around and ran away.
Wu Yong shouted, "I will have a holiday tomorrow, what are you anxious about now?"
"I'm going back tonight!"
"Cut!" Wu Yong rolled his eyes in disdain, then shook his head and smiled.
Tang Yibai didn't tell Yun Duo in advance that he wanted to surprise her. He took a taxi home, but when the taxi was about to reach its destination, it suddenly stopped. Tang Yibai was a little strange, "What's wrong?"
The taxi driver was a little helpless, "There is construction ahead, so I can't go. It's strange, how can there be construction? We can only go around, I'll see how to turn around first."
Tang Yibai said, "Okay, I'm not far, just get off here, master, turn around and go out."
Tang Yibai was very embarrassed because he led the master into a dead end and gave him an extra five yuan tip.
Getting out of the car, bypassing the sign that says "Construction ahead, vehicles bypassing", and after walking a short distance, he suddenly heard the cry of a woman. Tang Yibai turned his head to look into the alley next to him, and the scene he vaguely saw startled him.
Two men are bullying a girl around. One of them held her down and reached into her clothes, while the other was unbuttoning her pants. The girl cried and begged for mercy, but those two scumbags would not let her go.
Tang Yibai was so angry that he was about to step forward, but after thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called the police first. Then he grabbed a brick behind his back, walked over, and shouted, "What are you doing? Let her go!"
One of the men turned his head to see Tang Yibai, pouted, "Nosy!"
Only then did Tang Yibai realize that the two men were wearing masks, only showing their eyes and mouth. He shook the brick behind him and said calmly, "Let go of her, I can pretend that I didn't see anything."
The man really let go of the girl. When the other person saw him let go, he also let go. The man looked at Tang Yibai, and suddenly pulled out an iron rod from his lower back, "Go! Beat me up!"
The two of them swung iron rods at Tang Yibai in unison.
There were many of them and they had weapons, and Tang Yibai only had one slab of bricks, so he didn't hit the wall, but turned around and ran, hoping to take the two to the street outside. The height advantage is there, and he is confident that he can run past them.
However, at this moment, another person came to the entrance of the alley, also wearing a mask and a latte stick, blocking Tang Yibai's way.
This battle made Tang Yibai very much suspect that they came prepared.
But he didn't have time to think about it. I saw three men armed with weapons pounce on him and greet him with iron bars.
Tang Yibai reacted quickly, dodged a few times, and took two hits. He didn't care about the pain, he seized the opportunity to wrap his arms around a man's neck, and slapped the man in the face with a brick, hitting him with blood all over his face.
Unfortunately, it wasn't knocked out. The three were in a hurry, and two of them threw away the iron bars—including the one with blood on his face, then hugged Tang Yibai directly to prevent him from hiding, and yelled at the other, "Hit him!"
The other person held an iron rod, and instead of hitting Tang Yibai's head or stomach, he slapped him hard on his wrist.
Tang Yibai struggled to dodge, but didn't dodge, the iron rod was drawn on his wrist, a burst of piercing pain stimulated the cerebral cortex, he couldn't help groaning.
Feelings of hopelessness spread all over the body, not just because of the pain. That's the hand, the most important part of a swimmer's body.
At this moment, sirens sounded from far and near, and the three gangsters quickly grabbed the iron rod and ran away.
Tang Yibai was sweating with pain, leaning against the wall and panting. His right hand hurts as soon as he moves, and it feels very bad. He held his right hand gently with his left hand, and shouted at the policeman at the entrance of the alley, "Comrade policeman, here."
Several police officers came over quickly and saw that Tang Yibai was covered in blood and his face was pale, they thought he was seriously injured. One of the policemen asked, "Did you call the police just now?"
"Yes, it's me. The gangster has already run away, and there's another girl here," he said, looking at the place where the girl was not far away, but saw nothing, "Uh, she's gone too. "
The policeman asked, "Can you walk now? I'll call an ambulance for you first."
"No, the blood is not mine. I hurt my hand and may need to go to the hospital."
"We'll take you."
"Okay, thanks. Well, I'm an athlete—"
"Ah!" The police suddenly said, "It's you, you're Tang Yibai!"
Tang Yibai nodded and explained, "That's right. I'm an athlete. If something like this happens, I have to notify the coach and team doctor first. Can you make a phone call for me?"
"Ok, Ok!"
The police took out Tang Yibai's phone from his pocket. At this moment, there was a call on the phone. The policeman held up the phone in front of him and said, "This person is calling you, can you answer?"
"Come on, this is my girlfriend."
The policeman answered the phone, holding the phone up to his ear. The police comrade had no intention of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but the girl's voice on the other end of the phone came through clearly and he could hear it completely.
Tang Yibai: "Hey, Duoduo."
Yun Duo said, "Have you finished training?"
"Um."
"Have you gone back?"
"I'm back."
Yun Duo felt that something was wrong with Tang Yibai today, why did he speak so little, unlike him. She wondered, "what's the matter with you, unhappy?"
"no."
"Are you just unhappy?"
"Duoduo, I have something to do right now, I'll call you later."
Yun Duo felt even more strange, "Why are you still panting? You should have finished your training by now, right? Did you train more today?"
"Yes, I have added training."
"I don't believe it, Tang Yibai, are you hiding something from me? Well, have you taken your fancy to someone else?"
The police on the side couldn't listen. Tang Yibai was able to endure it, he was so hurt that he even made fun of his girlfriend. So the police took down the phone and said to Yun Duo, "Girl, your boyfriend is injured."
Yun Duo was startled, "What did you say?!"
"I said, your boyfriend is hurt."
"Are you kidding me, who are you?"
"I'm a policeman, I'm not kidding you, I'm taking your boyfriend to the hospital now, if you want to come and see him—"
"Where is Tang Yibai? Where are you? I'll go right there!!!"
"Go to the hospital to find us."
"Which hospital?"
The police asked the police in one sentence. Of course, there is a hospital nearby, but he also knew that the athlete's body should not be sloppy, so he hesitated to ask Tang Yibai, "Which hospital should I go to, or should I take you to Jishuitan?" Orthopaedic hospital.
But the famous hospital also has the troubles of the famous hospital, that is, there are too many people, if you go there and can't be ranked, and therefore delay the disease, wouldn't it be more troublesome.
"No," Tang Yibai shook his head, "just take me to a nearby hospital and get an emergency room. Our team should dispatch experts soon. Now please call my coach and team doctor and tell them we go Where, and... I may have a broken bone." Tang Yibai said here, his eyes dimmed.
"it is good."
Yun Duo almost flew out of the house, and stopped a taxi outside to go to the hospital. When he arrived, he was only about ten minutes later than Tang Yibai and the others. Tang Yibai had just finished the emergency department and had not seen the doctor when Yun Duo came. When she saw a lot of blood on Tang Yibai's body, she was so frightened that her face was pale, and tears fell like rain.
Seeing her cry, Tang Yibai's heart ached, and he especially wanted to touch her head, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. He comforted her softly, "It's alright, the blood isn't mine. I just hurt my wrist, it will be healed soon."
Even if you hurt your hands, you can only rely on your hands for swimming and paddling! Yun Duo was so distressed that he was afraid that he would be worried, so he wiped his tears and looked down at his wrist, only to feel that it was swollen, and there was no other clue.
She followed Tang Yibai to find the doctor on duty. The doctor asked a few questions and made a list for him to take the film first.
While waiting for the film, Yun Duo clenched his fists tightly, feeling very flustered, there must be nothing, nothing must happen, Tang Yibai...
She didn't dare to show her nervousness, fearing that it would affect Tang Yibai, so she pretended to be calm, and felt aggrieved to death. She gritted her teeth and asked Tang Yibai, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing, I met a few hooligans and got into a fight."
This reason is hard to convince. Yun Duo knows that Tang Yibai is not a brave and ruthless person, and even if he encounters a hooligan, he will not take the initiative to fight with others. Sure enough, the police comrade next to him interjected, "Tang Yibai acted bravely and saw someone intending to gang|rape a young girl, so he rescued him. Fortunately, he called the police in advance, Tang Yibai, you did a good job."
Tang Yibai was a little embarrassed, "You guys are not bad either, the police were dispatched very quickly."
Yun Duo's eyes turned red again, "Have those bad guys caught it? Can you break your hands and feet first?"
The policeman shook his head regretfully, "The culprit had already run away when we arrived, let's get to know the situation with Tang Yibai in a while, and then we will file a case and arrest the culprit as soon as possible. The key now is that the victim is also missing, if she is there. , should provide a lot of clues."
Yun Duo seemed to have heard a joke, "The victim also ran away? Seeing that Tang Yibai was injured, she ran away?"
The police nodded helplessly, "Well. This is the current situation."
Yun Duo was very angry, "This kind of person is not worth saving at all!"
Tang Yibai turned his face away and gently rubbed her forehead with his chin, "Duoduo, don't be angry."
Yun Duo's nose was sour, and the tears couldn't stop falling. She shook her head and replied, "I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for you. I..." The more she spoke, the more she choked up, she didn't know what to say, but tears fell down her cheeks.
Tang Yibai lowered his head and kissed her tears lightly, and said while kissing, "Don't be sad, Duoduo, it's really nothing serious."
"It's no big deal? Can you coax me? It's been a hundred days, and it will be the World Championships in one hundred days. How long have you waited for this competition? It's not a big deal, so what's a big deal?"
Her remarks revealed Tang Yibai's deepest hidden worries.
Indeed, this is what he is most afraid of.
After preparing for so long and looking forward to the game for so long, not long ago he made a bold promise to win the world championship, but now, he is sitting here holding his hands, waiting for an almost certain verdict.
How could he not be sad? The moment he was hit in the wrist, he thought of the consequences, and there was a haze in his heart that could not be dispelled no matter what. But no matter how sad he was, he didn't want to see his Duoduo sad.
Yun Duo also felt that she was talking too much. At this time, she should not mention such a bad thing. She didn't care about the people sitting next to her, held his face and kissed him. She said, "No matter what, you are my hero. Tang Yibai, I am proud of you."
When the result of the film came out, it happened that Wu Yong came with two people in a hurry. One of them was Tang Yibai's team doctor, whom Yun Duo knew, and the other was an orthopedic doctor at the Sports Hospital, surnamed Xu. The two of them watched the film with the doctor on duty in the emergency department and came to the same conclusion: a fractured wrist.
Tang Yibai learned of the result and said to Yun Duo, "It's okay."
Yun Duo said, "What's the matter, do you really think I have no culture?"
Strictly speaking, a fracture is a type of fracture, but the fracture is not dislocated, so it is much easier to treat than a fracture. But a bone fracture is also a problem with the bone, how could it be "okay".
In the opinion of ordinary doctors, this kind of small bone fracture is not controversial to treat, and it is easy to recover. But the point is that the person with the fracture is Tang Yibai, a swimmer. And more than three months later is the swimming world championships.
The significance of the World Championships to Tang Yibai is different from that to others. The most important event he has participated in before this is the Asian Games, and he has never participated in a world competition. In more than a year, the Olympic Games will be held. Before the Olympic Games, he has only this opportunity to train. For him, this opportunity is too rare and too precious.
Moreover, the national team has high hopes for Tang Yibai. He is one of the few gold medals won by the Chinese Swimming Army in the World Championships this year. 's stick player. (Men's 4x100m freestyle relay, Asians generally choose to give up)
It can be said that his importance is almost equal to that of Qi Ruifeng.
No one wants to see him go wrong at this time.
With a dark face, Wu Yong asked Dr. Xu, "How long will it take for me to recover? Can I still participate in the World Championships?"
Dr. Xu replied, "It is possible to participate, but there is a problem. Judging from his situation, it will take six weeks for me to recover at the earliest. It is best not to do strenuous exercise during this period. Therefore, the most optimistic estimate is He doesn't train normally until six weeks later, so do you think he'll be back to his best in less than two months after a six-week hiatus?"
Wu Yong was speechless. He knew it was basically impossible. Swimmers do not go into the water for more than a month, which is equivalent to ordinary people who do not touch the water for a year. If they go into the water again, they will have to go through a long period of exercise to make all parts of the body return to the best cooperative state and to reactivate their potential.
In short, a good state is easier to waste than to build.
Dr. Xu sighed, "I'll put a plaster on him first, otherwise it will be more troublesome if it is dislocated."
Wu Yong had no hope anymore, he said angrily to Tang Yibai, "Why are you so arrogant? You have to get involved in everything? Do you think you are Superman or Batman? You are stupid looking at so many people. Go up and fight in a daze?"
Tang Yibai shook his head, "Mr. Wu, don't scold me, I think this is unusual."
"What's unusual?"
"I suspect they came for my hand. They know who I am and how important my hand is to a swimmer, and their purpose is to break my hand. Even if I don't save the girl, they have something else. The way to sneak up on me. I now suspect that the girl who ran away is their accomplice."
Everyone was shocked by this God unfolding. The police asked, "Why are you so suspicious? What did you find?"
"Just right, comrade police, can you wait a little longer and let's talk after the cast is finished."
"it is good."
