The 11th National League was in full swing. Lin Hui and Jianhua sat in the auditorium as substitutes and stared at the game.
Lin Hui doesn't want to miss every minute or second. As an athlete, when there is no chance, he must understand the habits, movements, what kind of players are good at playing, and what kind of flaws they have.
Once you have the opportunity to play, you will be able to clearly understand the opponent's moves and how to respond to such moves in order to defeat your opponent and win yourself.
Looking from a distance, all the athletes on the field are full of energy. What is going on now is the knockout round of 16 into 8.
Four groups were divided into four groups by drawing lots before the game, with four players in each group, and each game was based on an 11-point system.
There are four groups with 16 points and 8 points. Players in each group compete in a round-robin format. Each game is won by a winning system. Each winning game is worth 1 point. The top two players in each group advance to the top eight and enter the second round of knockout.
It seems very simple, but this sloppiness is unavoidable on the field. A one-point difference is a loss. Any promotion match is a challenge. The threshold is from 16 to 8. Only by passing this ticket can you have a close contact with the championship, Lin Hui kept thinking in his heart. This is the result of his own research. After reading so many books, he knows the rules of these competitions clearly.
Entering the quarterfinals was an easy task for the Jilin Provincial team, and good news soon came from both the men's and women's teams. Shaojie led the men's team to the quarterfinals, and Xu Xin also led the women's team to the quarterfinals.
When they won the quarterfinals, Coach Xu and Coach Shi were having a heated discussion in the office as they prepared for the next game based on the dynamics on the field.
"Eight has entered the four knockout rounds. Our Jilin men's team didn't make it last time. It's not that we are not strong enough, it's that our team underestimated the opponent a little. But this time I suggest that Lin Hui and Jianhua also play. Lin Hui's ball is very changeable. In addition, He has the determination not to admit defeat, and Jianhua’s basic skills are relatively solid. If our men’s team can enter the top four this time, it has a great chance of winning.”
"Old Xu, I don't agree with you. Since you said you underestimated the enemy last time, we should be more vigilant this time. These two are fresh blood. They are going to the semi-finals. I can't make this bet."
Coach Shi and Coach Xu were arguing, but they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
The person who came was Qiu Shaojie, and he spoke urgently, "Coach, take a look. Wang Xiaolong said he had a stomachache.
Normally, Qiu Shaojie, as the captain, would handle important matters. This time, Shaojie knew that the two coaches were discussing the layout. If he interrupted at this time, there must be something he couldn't handle, so he could only report it to the leader.
Coach Xu and Coach Shi ignored the argument. We are about to go to the battlefield and the soldiers are sick. This is a taboo in war!
He walked towards the dormitory where Wang Xiaolong lived with long strides.
"Why do you have a stomachache? Is it serious?" Coach Xu asked the young hero beside him as he walked.
"It's quite serious. I looked at Xiaolong holding his stomach and sweating."
"Have you called 120?"
"beated."
At this time, Wang Xiaolong was lying on the ground rolling around, surrounded by his teammates. Seeing Wang Xiaolong in such discomfort, everyone didn't know what to do. He rolled to the ground when he was lifted onto the bed, and everyone could only stand silently. Don't dare to touch him. If you hurt him, he is the main player who is going to play. Now you can only wait for the coach to come.
Lin Hui heard that Wang Xiaolong was sick, and Jianhua came over to see what happened.
Lin Hui saw Wang Xiaolong lying on the ground holding his stomach and sweating from the crowd. He was very familiar with this scene.
At that time, he had some memories. His grandma took him to a relative's house to go to the market. When he was a child, he was grandma's little tail. He would go wherever grandma went. Grandma also loved him very much. He was very kind to Lin Hui, so much so that she would rather eat less than eat a few bites, rather than wronging Lin Hui.
Lin Hui also had Wang Xiaolong's symptoms that time. It was all because he was a glutton for food. He would eat everything delicious when he saw it, leaving nothing behind. And that time, he happened to eat grapes with cold properties. He felt it was delicious and hummed a tune while eating. Don't mention how happy he was at that time. Within an hour of being happy, he felt a wave of pain in his stomach, overwhelming him.
He covered his stomach with his two small hands and bent his body. It was too painful, so he simply lay down and hugged his stomach. The symptoms before Wang Xiaolong were almost the same as his before.
Later, my grandma discovered it, so she used a local method to gently poke a small hole with her ten fingers. He was very young at the time, but she clearly remembered that the blood that came out of the prick was black.
Then grandma gave him a hot water bag to put on his belly, and boiled him some brown sugar water with ginger slices in it.
After grandma's series of operations, he obviously improved a lot.
The symptoms were obviously the same as those that had happened to him before. Lin Hui walked out of the crowd and walked to Wang Xiaolong. "Everyone, please lend a hand and lift him up."
He didn't care whether he could help Wang Xiaolong or not. Now that he saw the team members were so uncomfortable, he could only give it a try.
Wang Xiaolong, who was lying on the bed, looked pale and his lips were bloodless. Lin Hui rubbed the palms of his hands against each other until they felt hot, and said, "Jianhua, move his shirt up to expose his belly."
Both hands occupied the position, so Jianhua could only help. Jianhua was stunned at first, and then slowly followed Lin Hui's instructions.
Use two palms to gently massage Wang Xiaolong's abdomen in a clockwise direction. Maybe it took 50 massages, maybe 100 massages, before Wang Xiaolong's frown relaxed a little. His face was not as pale as before.
Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed to be working.
When Coach Xu, Coach Shi, and Shaojie arrived, Lin Hui was helping Wang Xiaolong massage by the bedside.
When Shaojie left, Wang Xiaohu still looked seriously ill. With Lin Hui's help, he obviously relaxed a lot. He walked up and asked, "Lin Hui, how is he?"
"It's getting better already."
When the ambulance didn't come, they could only watch Lin Hui helping Wang Xiaolong warm his stomach. About fifteen minutes later, a group of people in white coats carried Wang Xiaolong away.
Coach Shi and Coach Xu also followed. Wang Xiaolong is their main player, and the two coaches take great care of him.
The doctor told the two coaches that it was acute gastroenteritis and that they needed to be given intravenous fluids in a timely manner, but they couldn't do strenuous exercise because of the time.
Both coaches were silent when they heard the news.
Life is like an upward parabola. It will fall to a certain low point and then there will be opportunities to rise. This is the case for Lin Hui. Wang Xiaolong cannot participate in this competition, leaving this opportunity in the hands of Jianhua and Lin Hui.
