Zhang Yongsheng organized his speech and asked: "Coach Guo, can we take a day off on Friday night? I have a friend here who has something to do with the ring competition, and I want to take them to see it. The ring game follows international rules. , this aspect is relatively rare in China, and it will be of some help to them.”
"The arena competition? Is it the one organized by Jiangyuan Folks themselves?" Guo Fangping asked.
Zhang Yongsheng nodded and replied: "Yes, it is the one in Huilong Industrial Park. Some foreign players were also invited there. I want to take them to experience the atmosphere of the scene and increase their knowledge. If they choose to play in the future In professional competitions, these experiences may be useful.”
Guo Fangping frowned and said: "You are still high school students, so it is not good to go to these places. The rules of this kind of competition are not formal, and hurtful things often happen. I think you should still take the college entrance examination as your first goal at this stage. , I’ll learn about the others later when I have the opportunity.”
Jin Kai shook his head and explained: "Coach Guo, we are not playing in a competition, and there is nothing dangerous. My senior brother took me to see it last year, and my master also supported it. This arena competition reflects the highest level of excellence in our province. This level is a rare opportunity for everyone.”
Zhao Yunfei also advised: "If you are worried, you can come with us. We will just watch from the audience and not play on the court. Besides, with our level, we are not qualified to play."
Guo Fangping looked at everyone's expectant eyes in confusion and said with a wry smile: "Before departure, Principal Du repeatedly told me not to act alone. If you go to a place like this, I won't be able to tell you when you go back. Besides, if Director Yang knew about it, he would definitely not allow it." That’s what you did.”
Zhang Yongsheng patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I'll go talk to Director Yang. There will definitely be no problem for you in terms of safety, you can rest assured. Jin Kai and Dong Qishan's elders will also be there, and everyone will take care of them." , there won’t be any problems.”
Guo Fangping thought for a while and said: "Let me take some time to mention it to Director Yang, and he will definitely talk to you. If your elders are also going, it is best to ask them to say hello to Director Yang, so that the school can feel more at ease. After all, We are leading a group and we are responsible for your safety."
Hearing Guo Fangping relaxed, Jin Kai and Dong Qishan decisively took out their mobile phones and immediately contacted their families. The Wushu Association meeting had just been held, and their elders were still in Jiangyuan. With them coming forward as a guarantee, Yang Hongbo is not unreasonable, and there is basically no problem.
After returning to the hotel, everyone did some simple tidying up, rested for a while, and then waited for the school car to pick them up and take them to Yucai Middle School. Because they were going to compete using force, the students all put on their sportswear. When communicating formally with Yucai Middle School, etiquette is inevitable, but the outcome of the friendly match is also important.
If a few members of the No. 2 Middle School were defeated without a fight, the No. 2 Middle School would also be looked down upon by the Yucai School, and it would be difficult to get full support in future cooperation. Moreover, this exchange was organized by the Provincial Sports Institute, which was equivalent to an inspection and test, and everyone took it seriously.
Jiangyuan Yucai Middle School is located in the old city on the south bank of the Yangtze River, that is, Nanhua District. It is one of the earliest schools to launch characteristic education here. After decades of hard work, the school has become famous far and wide and has become one of the top star schools in the city's education sector, and is sought after by many parents of students.
The school covers a large area and is divided into two campuses. One campus is in the old campus of Nanhua District, and the other campus is in the suburbs of Nanhua District, adjacent to the metropolitan area. This is a newly developed development zone in Jiangyuan. The entry of a large number of foreign people has made this place prosper rapidly.
This friendly match exchange was held in the old campus. The gymnasium in the old campus is not big and has a history of nearly 20 years. Many star athletes have come out of this gym, and some have even won awards in international competitions. Jiangyuan Yucai Middle School hosts No. 2 Middle School here, and the standards are quite high.
As soon as the school bus from No. 2 Middle School arrived near Yucai Middle School, everyone saw a red slogan hanging on the door from a distance, "Welcome students from Yunshan County No. 2 Middle School to visit and exchange here!" A lot of people gathered at the gate. They were all in suits and leather shoes and looked very lively.
The school bus stopped at the school gate. Under the leadership of Guo Fangping, the students got off the bus with their luggage. Yang Hongbo and others were followed by a large number of people who came up to greet them. They introduced everyone and shook hands and exchanged greetings. The meeting was very solemn, and Zhang Yongsheng was even a little flattered.
Those who came out to greet him were not only Wu Guoxin, Meng Jinghui and others from the Provincial Sports Academy, but also the principal and director of Yucai School. This kind of standard of welcome is enough for the leaders of the province, let alone the middle schools in the county. Zhang Yongsheng was very surprised and felt that Yucai Middle School was making a fuss out of a molehill.
After a lively exchange of greetings, everyone lined up to enter the campus of Jiangyuan Yucai Middle School. The old campus of Jiangyuan Yucai Middle School is not big, similar to Yunshan No. 1 Middle School, and not much bigger than No. 2 Middle School. The buildings here are relatively old and look like they are decades old, giving them a sense of history.
According to Lu Shengfeng, the principal of Yucai Middle School, Yucai Middle School has been established for nearly a hundred years and is the earliest modern intermediate school in Jiangyuan. These buildings are decades old and are still in normal use after many renovations. A small number of buildings were newly built in recent years and mainly provide physical education functions.
Under the leadership of Lu Shengfeng, Zhang Yongsheng and others walked through the teaching building and office building to the gymnasium behind. Due to the limited area of the school, the outdoor stadium of Yucai Middle School is relatively small, and a large part of the area is occupied by the gymnasium. Although the gymnasium has been built for more than ten years, all the facilities are very professional.
This stadium was built after the original auditorium was demolished. It occupied the site of the auditorium and expanded part of the outdoor stadium area. The overall space is very large. In addition to meeting the needs of students for indoor sports, it also serves as a school group meeting.
The gymnasium is built according to professional basketball court standards, with high-brightness headlights above the head and special floors under the feet. In addition to hosting basketball games, it can also undertake indoor sports such as badminton and table tennis when necessary.
This friendly match was also held here. The staff of Yucai Middle School set up a professional arena in the middle of the basketball court, with audience seats, referee seats and coaching seats also arranged around it. The entire environment is very professionally decorated, even if it is used for television broadcasts.
When Zhang Yongsheng and others entered the gymnasium, many people had already gathered here. In addition to the students and team members participating in martial arts fighting, those from other sports also came to watch the fun when they had time. It was time for extracurricular activities in the afternoon, and many students and teachers gathered in the auditorium of the stadium.
