Chapter 54: Hitting the wall
“Yes, I am from Yucai Primary School.” Li Yan stood up and shook hands with Li Canhui.
With this frame, these palms, and these muscles, I would have thought he was someone preparing for the high school entrance examination.
“I have admired your name for a long time, and your legend has been circulated in our school.”
“Where, where.”
"I'm very happy to have the opportunity to compete with you next time. I hope we can compete heartily."
Li Canhui smiled brightly.
“How old are you?”
I still have to ask questions that I can’t help but ask.
Li Canhui scratched his head and said with a smile: "I was a year late in studying. Last year I won the first place in the city. I wanted to take the special recruitment route, but I failed to pass the cultural score. I sprained my foot before the physical test, so... …”
"Another year of study?!" Li Yan was shocked. This guy didn't grow up too fast, but he has definitely reached his age!
What about dimensionality reduction? But thinking about it this way, I just used my 24-year-old mind to play a psychological game and defeated Liang Jian, so I didn't seem qualified to criticize others.
“Our teachers have paid attention to your performance all the way,” Li Canhui showed a rare mature temperament among primary school students, “It is true that you are getting stronger and stronger as you play. In another month, I don’t dare to think about you in the city competition. How will it evolve?”
Don’t praise me, brother, I will be embarrassed if you blow me up later.
“So, this game may be a preview of the city finals. Our teacher will also record it. I hope we will go all out and present a wonderful showdown.”
Where is my information?
"Okay." Li Yan did not dare to say anything harsh, and kept the words "What if you can't win the first place in the city this year" in his throat and did not go out.
It turns out that he is sane.
Lin Zhiyuan spent the entire noon telling him about Li Canhui's terrifying strength.
He was the number one male singles player in the city's primary school students' badminton competition last year, and was also the number one contributor to the Experimental Primary School's team championship for three consecutive years.
He also has another identity: the men's single number of the first team of Lin City Youth Badminton Team.
However, this is somewhat affected by the fact that he is two years older than a normal elementary school student, his body has grown, and he is actually in elementary school, so it is simply a bug.
Li Yan still asked the question that led him to victory in the last game: "He is so strong, where is his weakness?"
But this time there was no answer that led him to victory: "There is no weakness. "
"No..." Li Xinyuan covered her mouth in horror, "Invincible?"
Lin Zhiyuan lowered his voice and responded seriously: "Invincible."
"That's my home court." Li Yan laughed dryly, "After the lunch break, let you feel what the Supreme VIP Black Card is."
"What do you mean?" Li Xinyuan asked.
"Actually, I don't know. I always feel like it's something not very good." The little fat man replied.
The semi-finals competition begins at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the final is scheduled for four o'clock. The physical requirements for the champions and runners-up are quite high.
There is no mixed doubles in the primary school competition. The champion and runner-up were determined yesterday in the men's and women's doubles, and the women's singles also completed their final battle in the morning.
After the competition, many parents and students chose to stay and watch the men’s singles competition.
Logically speaking, this should give Li Yan a surge of adrenaline, but this time there was no pressure or motivation.
Because he really can't beat it.
As the boss of the youth team, Li Canhui played against all the youth team players in the city team, that is, at the level of Ding Jiao.
Jiao Ding was only on the city's second team, and he quit coaching because he couldn't compete.
How to fight this?
The two sets of top four battles are very interesting. One is the king Li Canhui against the talented young man Li Yan who has been in the limelight recently, and the other is the second of the four kings Dongmen Er Xiao Lintao and Dongmen Experiment Hong Lang's confrontation.
As a result, everyone quickly turned their attention to Lin Tao and Hong Lang. Because Li Yan had already run out of suspense.
15:6 in the first game.
Li Canhui is very fast. This speed is not the physical speed of Li Yan's opponent in the first round, nor is it the speed of Liang Jian's playing rhythm, but the speed of controlling the game.
He appears on your return route with the most concise steps and the shortest route. He uses precise placement points in exchange for accurate predictions of your passive return, playing as if he is ahead of you. 1 second.
Li Yan was beaten into a terrible state. His ball speed, golf intelligence, and skills were all suppressed.
Just like that, Li Canhui still had another powerful smash.
It can be said that it is simply helpless.
Li Yan was panting from exhaustion. She tried many methods in the first round, changing her rhythm to escape, using extra force to speed up, and using fake moves to cheat the start. She did everything she needed to do, but it was completely useless.
This Li Canhui is like an iron plate. He can't be punched through no matter what. If he turns around and hits his head with the iron plate, he will knock you out.
"How can we lose so uglyly..." Li Yan adjusted her breathing and decided that even if she lost completely, she had to lose standing.
Fans of violent attack are not afraid of any strong enemy!
In the second game, it was as if he had red temperature on, killing from high positions, diagonally and straightly, and the heavy kill points were changing in turns.
Overclocking output will still have an effect. Some fairy balls really left Li Canhui helpless.
But after more than a dozen goals, when the score was 6:7, I was still behind.
Li Yan was immediately discouraged because he felt that his physical strength had begun to bottom out and the peak was about to be reached.
The climax...is coming soon?
Li Yan's brain was shaken and his breathing became very rapid. He adjusted for a long time before signaling that he could continue the game.
This made Lin Zhiyuan and Li Xinyuan in the stands anxious.
Let this game end here, Li Canhui, the ace has not yet come on stage.
7:15, sudden defeat, Li Yan looked like he gave up the game.
Li Canhui seemed very dissatisfied with this behavior. After the game, he shook hands with him and walked away.
The trip to the regional competition was over. Li Yan won the ticket to the city competition, defeated Liang Jian, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and entered the top four of the Dongmen District. He successfully became a seed player again.
At least the playoffs in the city tournament have nothing to do with him. In the first round, those who advance from sixteen to eight will not encounter seeded players. If they want to meet opponents of the level of the Four Heavenly Kings again, they must at least advance to eight or four.
One month later, among the Four Heavenly Kings who remained the same, the only one who could pose a threat to Li Yan, who had made another breakthrough, was Li Canhui.
On the way back, Lin Zhiyuan acted as a spiritual mentor and kept instilling concepts in Li Yan such as "failure is the mother of success" and "every game is different", for fear that Li Yan would never recover.
Actually, Li Yan is really okay. It is reasonable for him to be unable to defeat Li Canhui. With the addition of the system, it is still unclear who will win after a month - besides, he already has a magical plan.
The impact of this competition exceeded his expectations. In the eyes of his classmates and those who didn't know the purpose of Li Yan's participation, Li Yan had become an immortal.
After all, in China's education system, "good grades" and "good sports" have always been somewhat contradictory. It is almost a consensus that you should engage in sports only if you can't read.
Only when he grew up did Li Yan realize that everything was actually the result of the influence of interests.
The insufficiently developed sports system cannot provide sufficient protection for children practicing sports. Everyone must choose a more stable option.
Li Yan reached the semi-finals of the regional competition this time in badminton, completely establishing himself as a master of both civil and military skills.
The bad boy army, represented by He Han and Wang Chao, even showed awe towards him.
But for those who know Li Yan’s goals, his loss to Li Canhui this time can be regarded as a wake-up call for him.
Chen Wenjing specially invited Li Yan to tea, just to ask:
"Have you hit a wall?"
