The long-awaited table tennis match is about to begin in a certain country.
The coaches and players of the national team have already gone to the competition venue one day in advance.
After a day of running around, they finally arrived at the World Table Tennis Championships that they had been preparing for for a long time.
This is their first time participating in an international competition as a new member of the national team.
The two of them need to take a plane to get here.
This is Lin Hui's first time taking a plane to participate in a competition. He has never experienced the blue sky and white clouds up close.
Today was a feast for his eyes. He was still very nervous when taking off from somewhere, always worried that he would fall from the sky.
Holding on to the seat belt tightly, he forgot that he had flown into the sky until he saw the clouds in the sky.
Full of excitement!
He couldn't help but sigh, "Jianhua, look! The sky outside is really beautiful. I never thought that one day I would be able to be in such close contact with the sky. I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment. Got it!"
Lin Hui's tone was full of excitement when he spoke!
He kept looking towards the sky outside, as if he was walking among the clouds.
"Lin Hui, don't say it's the first time we've met you, it's also the first time I've met you. If we hadn't come to the national team, we would have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery at this moment! This is something that many people can't dream of, and we didn't expect it. It has been achieved.”
Lin Hui thought he was the only one who would sigh like this, but he didn't expect Jianhua to be the same.
He just expressed this surprise in words, but everyone sighed silently in their hearts.
If Lin Hui could see his grandma, he would definitely tell his grandma that I have seen the sky, and the sky is bluer and whiter than we imagined.
His grandma would definitely be smiling happily, but this was no longer possible.
He will never see his grandma again, nor will he be able to see his grandma being proud of him for participating in the World Table Tennis Championships.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he thinks about his grandma in his heart, and thinks about telling his grandma these things, the nanny will say after hearing this, my grandson has grown up, and is no longer the willful child he used to be. He can contribute to the country. Winning glory is grandma’s greatest pride!
Lin Hui imagined what his grandma said to him. Every time Lin Hui encountered difficulties, as long as he thought of his grandma and said words of encouragement to him, he would be happy for a few days.
He was raised by his grandmother, who was his spiritual support and gave him a lot of advice and guidance on his life journey.
If there was no nanny, he might not be where he is now.
Grandma is the person he loves most in the world. Now Lin Hui wants his grandma to see all this, even if it is impossible.
But as long as Lin Hui is satisfied!
Then a voice interrupted Lin Hui's thoughts.
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies! The plane is now experiencing convective weather and may experience turbulence! Please fasten your seat belts and do not move around or leave your seats. Thank you!"
Convection weather, bumps, what is this? Lin Hui has not encountered this situation yet.
His hand began to hold the handrail tightly, and after making sure it was firmly grasped, he began to ask Jianhua, "Do you know what was said on the radio just now? What convective weather?"
Lin Hui doesn't like to study, and he doesn't know much about this kind of geographical knowledge.
But that's not necessarily the case with Jianhua sitting next to him. Jianhua not only loves reading, but he is also smart and can always answer every question he asks.
“I think of convective weather as thunderstorms, squalls, hail, tornadoes, etc.
But now that it is spring, I think the possibility of these happening is relatively small, and it may also be the season of spring flowers blooming.
Birds in the south have begun to migrate, and it is unlikely that they will form a convection current in the air. "
Jianhua explained this, but Lin Hui was a little confused.
Caused by bird migration?
"Jianhua, you are definitely not trying to make me happy! You looked at me nervously and told me a joke!" Lin Hui smiled bitterly at Jianhua.
Seeing that Lin Hui didn't believe it, Jianhua began to explain again, "What kind of joke should I tell you now? The joke depends on the occasion.
Besides, do birds migrate all the time? Have you ever seen wild geese flying south? We can see wild geese flying in groups on the ground, but these wild geese form a dense team in the sky, which will definitely have a considerable impact on the flight of the aircraft. "
Jianhua's attitude when he spoke seemed to be that of a teacher giving Lin Hui popular science knowledge. Lin Hui was sure that this was not a joke.
This is real!
It may be convective weather caused by bird migration, but how long will this last? Will the geese disappear after their flight?
The bursts of turbulence that followed were indeed convective weather, but how come he couldn't see any birds flying through the windows of the plane?
Lin Hui asked Jianhua again, "Jianhua is bumping so hard, why can't you see any birds?"
"Khan, birds are also very smart. They can wait eagerly for you to hit them! In fact, animals are much smarter than us! When they feel danger, they have already changed their direction."
After Jianhua finished speaking, he chuckled.
No wonder he couldn't see a single bird. It turned out that they had run away long ago.
At this time, Lin Hui was like a hundred thousand whys. How could convective weather form if he ran away? It was just a matter of letting him return to the starting point.
He couldn't help but ask Jianhua more about it. If you don't understand something, ask him. Don't pretend to understand.
After all, it’s easy to learn and practice from time to time!
"Jianhua, the birds have changed their flight routes, how can they still fly in convective weather?"
Jianhua patted his forehead. What he said was so profound, why Lin Hui couldn't get out of this cycle.
He said to Lin Hui seriously again, "This kind of convective weather is because the aircraft has already sensed it in advance, but the birds are still far, far away from the aircraft. It is really because they are far away that they can change direction." , on the way to change direction, convective weather appeared again, which is why we had bumps and bumps."
Jianhua spoke very seriously, and Lin Hui also listened very carefully. This time he finally understood.
This is a principle. As for what the principle is, it may also be related to the air flow hedging.
Too abstruse! Lin Hui will no longer pursue the case.
He suddenly found that there was no turbulence anymore. Maybe the birds had changed direction and moved away from their plane.
At this time, Lin Hui looked at the time. There were almost ten minutes left before they arrived at the station.
It was just a nap time. Although Lin Hui was a little tired, he didn't want to waste such a good time on sleeping.
During this time, he can admire the beautiful scenery abroad. Is their gymnasium as big as theirs?
Are their training techniques similar to theirs?
While Lin Hui was thinking about this, the plane was already landing.
A soft voice sounded again, "Gentlemen, girls? We have arrived in a certain country. Please take your supplies with you. Thank you for your trip. I wish you a happy journey!"
After the flight, Coach Wu, as the lead coach this time, took everyone to the hotel that had been prepared.
Even after a period of running around, Coach Wu still arrived at the hotel, put down his things and gathered at the designated location ten minutes later.
Although I was sitting all the time on the plane, always in the same position for several hours, and even though I could lie down and change my sitting position at any time, I was still very tired.
Lin Hui and Jianhua lived in the same room. As soon as they entered the hotel door, Lin Hui rushed to the bed.
It's so comfortable!
He just wanted to lie down and sleep like this until the next day, but how could it be possible? Coach Wu just said that he would gather in ten minutes.
It had already taken them five minutes to get here, leaving them with extra time to put their things in and confirm the room.
"Lin Hui, let's go! I'll come back and take a rest in a while. Let's see what Coach Wu tells me. If I don't leave, I won't be able to catch up."
After Jianhua put down his things, he found Lin Hui lying lazily on the bed motionless. This was not the time for them to rest.
He immediately urged Lin Hui to leave quickly.
Lin Hui had no choice but to stand up and follow Jianhua lazily. When they arrived at the meeting venue where Coach Wu mentioned, everyone had arrived one after another.
Lin Hui and Jianhua found a free seat and sat down.
After seeing that everyone had arrived, Coach Wu sat at the front of the conference room.
He held a folder in his hand, opened it, looked at it, and then slowly closed it.
Then he said earnestly: "I know you are tired from traveling all the way, but I still feel it is necessary to say a few words to you.
Among you, what an honor it is to be able to sit here and participate in this World Table Tennis Championships!
After all, everyone is selected from countless elites!
I personally think that every person in our team who can stand here and participate in this game is the best!
This has already won the first step, and the rest is that we have to fight for the ranking in this competition with all our strength.
In the following time, apart from rest, there is not much time left for everyone.
Everyone, please adjust your situation quickly!
Get familiar with our playing field!
This time we are playing against top players from all over the world!
This time we are participating in the competition to represent the country, not ourselves.
You should pay attention to the tone of your words and don't cause trouble. Does Lin Hui know?"
Coach Wu specifically emphasized Lin Hui's reputation.
Lin Hui quickly replied, "Yes!"
Lin Hui has been causing trouble when he was in the national team, even though coach Wu turned a blind eye and said nothing.
But what was the occasion today? He was in a foreign country. He had to emphasize it to avoid causing trouble again.
After Lin Hui finished answering, Coach Wu glanced at him and then said:
"This is a critical moment, and we cannot relax easily.
You also need to be vigilant at all times! I will hold a celebration banquet for you all when you return home in triumph!
Of course, the veteran players have participated in the competition many times, so I won’t emphasize the key points here. You senior players can go down to rest first, and the second team can stay. "
After saying that, Liu Ruifei from the first team left first with the senior members, leaving behind the members of the second team who were still sitting there!
After the members of the first team walked away, Coach Wu continued to talk to everyone.
"The reason why we stay here is because the second team is participating in an international competition for the first time.
There are a lot of rules that we don’t know very well, especially in a foreign country!
This is the first time for everyone to participate in such a large-scale competition, so it is inevitable that they will feel a little excited and nervous. This is very normal!
But we are often nervous, so don’t forget what our mission is!
We are here to play, and I don’t want to put too much pressure on everyone!
But you must use your usual practice to your greatest advantage!
How many people dream of you being able to stand here?
How many people are waiting to see you?
I want you to show your best side, understand? "
Coach Wu looked at every member of the first team, and then everyone said at the same time, "Understood!"
"If you understand, speaking so small is not loud enough. Speak louder. Why didn't you come here without eating or something?"
After Coach Wu finished speaking, he heard a loud shout of "Understood!". He felt that this was the effect he wanted.
He inspired everyone's inner fighting power and led many sessions, but this new generation is the one he has discovered with the greatest potential, and he is full of expectations for them.
"Okay, we just came here today. Let's adjust the time difference first and go back to rest! Disband!"
After Coach Wu heard their loud voices, his sullen face relaxed a little, and he walked out with the folder.
After Coach Wu left, everyone was ready to go to their respective rooms to rest.
"Lin Hui, it's my first time here. I'm still a little nervous, to be honest." Jianhua and Lin Hui said as they walked.
"Me too, but this is the World Table Tennis Championships that we all dream of coming to. How much effort we have put in for this day!"
After Lin Hui finished speaking, he thought of how much they had sacrificed and endured for this day. No one knew better than them.
They could also feel that Coach Wu's reassuring words just now were for their own good and he didn't want to put too much pressure on them, but this feeling of oppression had already arisen in their minds.
The purpose of their coming is not to participate, but to let the world know about the existence of people like them.
"Lin Hui, for our early efforts we must also cherish this hard-won opportunity!"
Jianhua sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Jianhua so scared and frightened, Lin Hui knew that Jianhua was in a nervous state.
How can you not be nervous when you come to this place? If you are not nervous, I guess the old team members will not be nervous. How can the new team members not be nervous?
Just when Lin Hui was about to speak to Jianhua.
Shaojie caught up with them and said, "Lin Hui, we will get off the field in the afternoon!"
"Okay, I was just thinking about talking to Jianhua about this, but I didn't expect you and I to want to get together. It just so happens that we go together!"
If they were in their own country, at least they would not be so nervous, but after all, they are not the host. In order to eliminate this kind of nervousness, they can only know themselves and their enemies, so that they can perform better during the game.
