Chapter 49 I am the Supreme VIP Black Card Player
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the audition knockout competition.
In April, the humid air has subsided a bit, the temperature has risen but is not hot, the floor of the gymnasium is not slippery, and a sports coat over the badminton uniform is enough. It is a very pleasant match day.
The competition venue is the Dongmen District Gymnasium. It is an old venue with six venues. The district and city competitions will also be held here.
The Olympic Games are about to open in August, and the entire stadium is decorated in Olympic style.
China is hosting the Summer Olympics for the first time, and the standards are full. People across the country are looking forward to the arrival of this grand event.
So this year’s badminton competition will be unprecedentedly fierce.
“Just treat it as a checkpoint in advance.” Li Yan was full of confidence during the warm-up.
Except for one badminton uniform that is my own, the rest are all sponsored by Lin Zhiyuan.
The racket was borrowed in exchange for tutoring, the bag was naturally borrowed with the racket, and the drinks were brought by Xiaopang from home - because there was a box of drinks that I couldn't finish, and even the socks and shoes were his. supply.
"I haven't worn these socks and shoes since I bought them because they don't fit my feet and I'm too lazy to change them, so I'll just give them to you."
Li Yan is very grateful. It would be better if these shoes were not pink.
His badminton value at the moment is 40. Just looking at the number does not give him much confidence. The main source of confidence is that he can win a few goals from Ding Jiao, who is "70% strong", and even Can shoot multiple shots with Ding Jiao who is full of firepower.
Winning or not winning, but that one is twenty years old and ranks third in the city.
Youth group and junior group are completely different levels.
He also has muscle strength, muscular endurance, explosive power, and reflexes that are exactly 30%.
Just reached the average, but he is only a primary school student.
The audition system has a very low error tolerance rate. The winner is determined by 15 points per game. It is a single elimination system and ends when the top four are reached.
Li Yan needs to win three games.
Lin Zhiyuan really had the consciousness to be the leader of the team. He was busy signing in and moving things, and even began to pray that he would not run into a master he knew among the audition contestants early.
"Stronger than me?" Li Yan asked.
"That's not true. You should be the first person in the audition."
"Then you should be nervous."
"This kind of competition is very random. He's not used to the ball, he made a few mistakes accidentally, and when he gets nervous, he's gone."
"..."
"Ah, I shouldn't have said that, bah, bah, bah, God bless..."
Actually, Lin Zhiyuan was right. He only had fifteen goals. If the opponent comes up with full firepower, he has not adapted. , the room for error is too small.
Li Yan also started to feel nervous, but when he saw his opponent serving, he smiled.
Soft, half-high, slow and half-beat preparation movements.
All the tension disappeared at once, and the opponent couldn't even react in time to Li Yan's return.
15:3.
It was very straightforward and neat. The three players who lost were still not very adaptable to the ball and the court, and made mistakes by accidentally picking the ball out of bounds.
After all, it is the first round, so it is normal to encounter opponents who are completely uncompetitive.
In the second round, the score was 15:2, and the child burst into tears on the spot.
Huh? Li Yan began to doubt himself. Could he be outsmarting the air again?
No, you can't float. This is the audition. If you win the next game, you will just get the ticket.
Li Yan, who was calm for a moment, was a little puzzled when he saw Lin Zhiyuan's dejected look.
"Sure enough, the more you don't want things to happen, the more they will happen. Why are we so unlucky? In this field, I think you and Fang Chao are the best at fighting. In the end, you two really faced each other in the top eight. , there must be one who can’t get through it.”
“That’s a pity for Fang Chao.”
“Damn it, you have this kind of mentality, Master Yan.” The little fat man became enthusiastic again. .
"So who is Fang Chao?"
"The master I'm talking about used to practice at the same club as me. When I joined the club, he had been practicing for two or three years, but he was... "
"Tong Zi Kung, Tong Zi Kung, I understand."
"Young Master Yan!" Lin Zhiyuan's voice was louder, causing many children to look over, but he didn't care. "Fang Chaoren is tall and powerful, and his attacks are fierce. Use him more." "Okay, Coach Lin." Li Yan walked onto the court with a smile, and then her smile solidified.
Comrade Fang Chao opposite is 175cm tall. For Li Yan, who is 164cm tall, he is indeed tall enough.
The 175-year-old was probably a rare individual with only one in a class in Lincheng back then.
From the height and depth of Fang Chao's kick, you can clearly feel the gap with other opponents.
But Li Yan was fearless and fought back again.
“There’s no point in pushing a player like this far, Mr. Yan!” Lin Zhiyuan suddenly became anxious, but he didn’t dare to shout out.
Sure enough, although the ball return was quite good, Fang Chao still chose to jump kill.
Then he was lightly blocked by Li Yan from a near tennis ball. Fang Chao landed on the ground and had not yet adjusted his body, so he had no time to catch the ball.
Eh? Lin Zhiyuan was stunned. The ball he just killed was quite fast.
On the second ball, Li Yan kicked off the ball. Fang Chao knew his advantage very well, so he continued to press Li Yan in the backcourt, but was counter-pressed by Li Yan.
Realizing that he was being led away, Fang Chao decisively changed his rhythm and cut in front of the net. Li Yan followed up steadily, and it looked like he was about to release the net.
Fang Chao stepped on the ground and prepared to pounce on the ball, but he saw Li Yan's racket going down the ball.
Oops, fake action.
He was just frozen in place, watching the ball fly to the backcourt, unable to do anything.
After two goals, Fang Chao was a little panicked. He was also a member of an unknown elementary school. His grades were not good, so he expected to take the special recruitment route. This was his only chance.
So for the next ball, Fang Chao suddenly increased his speed and hit a continuous downward pressure. As expected, he disrupted Li Yan's rhythm and successfully got a chance to kill the ball in the midfield.
Student Fang opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and smashed the ball down with a crisp sound.
Then he was blocked by a tennis ball, and he didn't even have time to react.
Holy shit, this ball is almost killing it hard enough, right?
Li Yan just smiled lightly. This was the result of special training to endure the smell of garbage and follow a fly with his eyes in a pile of flies.
35's dynamic vision, boy.
In my eyes, this smash is as slow as a soft press.
Fang Chao was really panicked. Where did a guy like this come from this year? I’ve never heard of it before. Among those masters practicing in the club, who would come to participate in the audition?
It must be said that Fang Chao's level is still much higher than that of his opponents in the first two rounds. Even though Li Yan was not confident in his signature offense, he could still score points through rich rhythm changes.
So 15:8, the loss is not that dismal.
Fang Chao not only has a precocious appearance, but also has a very stable personality.
After losing the ball, his eyes were red, but he still smiled and congratulated Li Yan, quite like a general.
"What school does this brother come from?"
"Yucai Primary School."
"Yucai? Li Yan? Damn it, are you that Li Yan?"
Li Yan smiled bitterly and made a gesture of silence.
Lin Zhiyuan had just helped to receive the participation card for the district main competition. He became excited when he heard this conversation:
"Yes, it's the one who won the prize and got soft..."
Then he was immediately beaten by Li Yan covered her mouth.
"You, why are you so good at badminton...are you playing for fun? This competition?"
Fang Chao couldn't quite understand the reason for Li Yan's appearance.
Li Yan showed the black competition card that Xiaopang had just received, "In order to be a wild card player, it is like a supreme VIP black card."
