MTL - The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine-Chapter 53 National competition (17)
Even though he slept late, Xie Shi'an did not stay in bed, but came to the venue early to prepare for the battle.
After she played a warm-up ball with Yan Xinyuan for a while, Jin Nanzhi also arrived, pretending to come forward to shake hands with her, and blinked.
"Beijing team, Jin Nanzhi."
"Team Binhai, Xie Shi'an." She withdrew her hand expressionlessly.
Jin Nanzhi raised the corners of his lips, and said in his heart: Pretend, you pretend again.
"I will not show mercy in today's game."
Even though you saved me last night.
Xie Shi'an understood what she hadn't finished speaking, and nodded.
"me too."
Yan Xinyuan stood beside him, and for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with the undercurrent.
Didn't these little **** fight in private without telling him?
He frowned, and was about to speak, when Jane came over and pulled him away.
"Coach Yan, the game is about to start, we should go down."
Yan Xinyuan gave up and warned.
"Fight hard, follow what I said, strive for progress steadily, and win by surprise."
Xie Shi'an nodded, indicating that he knew.
The director turned the screen from the scene to the commentary booth, and saw a familiar person sitting next to the male commentator.
"Today we invited world champion Jiang Yunli to our studio. Come, Senior Jiang, let's say hello to everyone."
Jiang Yunli smiled and waved at the camera.
"Hi, audience friends, good afternoon, I'm Jiang Yunli."
"Forget it senior, we're about the same age, and we've played together before."
The male commentator was also a professional player, and then he retired and switched to a TV sports channel as a commentator.
Hearing this, the man smiled, with a look of nostalgia on his face.
"It's been ten years since our partners played mixed doubles. Time flies. I see that you still have plaster on your hand. You insisted on bringing your illness today. Are you feeling better now? I I think the audience and friends are also very concerned about this issue.”
Jiang Yunli generously showed her hand in front of the camera, and there was no regret on her face, but a magnanimous expression.
"It's not a big problem, as long as you don't exercise strenuously, the main reason is that I want to watch this game too much."
The male commentator also laughed.
"Is it because Xie Shi'an defeated you in the semi-finals, so you are particularly concerned about her situation?"
Jiang Yunli nodded.
"Of course, I hope she can win, but I also expect Kim Nam-ji to perform well."
"The two sides are evenly matched, which is a wonderful duel. For the audience, it will also be a feast for the eyes."
The male commentator continued.
"After watching so many games, I believe everyone already knows Xie Shi'an very well. Yun Li, you are also a professional player. Can you briefly introduce Jin Nanzhi's style of play and characteristics?"
This question is on point.
Jiang Yunli said: "Kim Nam-ji won the women's singles championship in the All-Korean College League when she was fourteen years old, and knocked out the famous Korean player Jung Mi-su by surprise."
"What is the level of this award in our country? It is equivalent to the National University Games. The competition is very fierce. It can be said that half of the winner has stepped into the national team."
"During the days when she came to the Beijing team, I also watched a lot of her games. Her strength is indeed very strong, and she is still a elusive left-handed ball. Some fake moves often make opponents hard to guard against."
"I've heard so much from Yunli. From this point of view, this is indeed a match full of suspense. The scene is ready and the match is about to start. Let's wait and see!"
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.
At the beginning of the game, Jin Nanzhi gave full play to his advantages, using the fake action of his left hand to score frequently.
"Perhaps due to his lack of experience, Xie Shi'an struggled to deal with the left-handed ball," said the commentator.
Jiang Yunli explained it for her.
"The left-handed ball is actually the opposite of our usual thinking. The opponent's movements are like a mirror image. You have to think in reverse. Don't be in a hurry. This is only the first game, and there is still time for Xie Shi'an to make adjustments."
as expected.
After mastering the active rhythm, Jin Nanzhi scored consecutively and won the first game in one go.
Xie Shi'an went back to the rest area to wipe his sweat and drink water, his face was still expressionless, and he was not affected by the loss in the first game.

"Miss Qiao, it's time to change the medicine." The nurse pushed open the door of the ward, and the bed was empty.
"Hey, where's the person?" She took a closer look, and there was a note on the bedside table, which was written by Qiao Yuchu's left hand in crooked handwriting.
"I went to watch the game, and I will go back after watching."
***
"Let's lose one round first, let her inflate for a while, and give me a hard punch in the second round. It's time to test the results of the training in the past few days."
Yan Xinyuan put his hand on her shoulder and exhorted.
Xie Shi'an nodded, and was about to play with the racket when she suddenly heard someone calling her name behind her.
"Pick up!"
She turned her head and saw that it was Qiao Yuchu who came in a hurry. Because of the violent running, she kept panting heavily, and her hair was stuck to her forehead.
Xie Shi'an was overjoyed, with a smile on his face.
"How did you come?"
"This is your first singles championship in a national competition. I don't think I can be on stage, but I should be there."
Because of her sudden appearance, a whole spring bloomed in the boy's heart, and at this moment, she was invincible.
The smile on Xie Shi'an's face deepened.
"Not a champion yet."
Qiao Yuchu stretched out her left hand.
Xie Shi'an understood and punched her.
"In my heart, you have always been."
Jian Changnian also stretched out her hand from the side.
"Shi'an, and me."
The boy slightly bent his lips, and lightly touched his fist with her. Amid the cheers of the audience and the blessings of his friends, he strode onto the arena with his head held high.
The second game officially started.
After negotiating with her for a whole round and losing the game, Xie Shi'an showed a strong aggressiveness at the beginning of the second round.
While she was playing, Yan Xinyuan's words seemed to ring in her ears again in the training room.
"As far as I know, Jin Nanzhi is young, unstable, and easily impetuous. Lose a game first to make her paralyzed. However, you can't lose this game in vain. Observe her as much as possible to understand her. Routine and style of play."
"In the last match against Jiang Yunli, she also used a lot of fake moves, and she saw through a lot of things about you. I don't believe you didn't learn anything. If you learn it, show it to me."
"When you came to the point of the second game first, Jin Nanzhi will definitely panic. This is the time when you win the game with all your might."
Xie Shi'an silently recited the four words "full of energy", and waved his right hand a little, seemingly pushing the Internet flatly, but in fact it was a sudden smash.
Her movements and ball speed are simply too fast.
Jin Nanzhi only saw a white meteor flying towards her right half, and before she could return to defense, she fell to the ground.
The scoreboard lights up.
17:21
Xie Shi'an won the second round. She gritted her teeth and returned to the rest area of her team.
The coach handed her a bottle of water.
"Don't worry, play slowly in the last round. Xie Shi'an is a player who plays fast break and fast kill. You must be patient and hold the initiative in your own hands, so that you can score points."
Jin Nanzhi snorted coldly and said, "What about fast attack and quick kill? I think that's it. She lost to me in the first round. She is already at the end of her battle. I will definitely win the last round."
The coach sighed and thought:
It is not certain who is at the end of the crossbow.
He earnestly said: "You have fought all the way from the group stage, and you have indeed defeated many top players, but that is also because you seldom show up in the Chinese arena. They don't study you enough. Now it is the finals. Do you think Xie Shi Will Ann come unprepared?"
However, Jin Nanzhi didn't take it to heart at all.
The rest time came soon, and the two sides took the racket to the field again. In China, Jin Nanzhi also had many fans, holding her light boards and support objects.
On South Korean social media, she is also praised as "the once-in-a-century badminton genius girl in South Korea", and she shoulders the hope of breaking the gold medal monopoly of the Chinese team in the world arena.
Proud of youth, full of ambition, Jin Nanzhi doesn't put anyone in his eyes at all. This kind of character has made her a temporary success, but she is also destined to encounter Waterloo.
When she was the first to win the game point in the third game, she even ran around the field triumphantly, raising her hand to signal to the audience that she was celebrating her victory ahead of time, but she didn't expect that her real nightmare would begin in the second half.
"Come on, Xie Shi'an catches the serve, this angle is very tricky, Jin Nanzhi puts the net, Xie Shi'an catches up, the backhand is a diagonal!"
"This ball, a fake move! Jin Nanzhi was deceived, and there was no time to return to defense!"
"11:11, Xie Shi'an equalized the score."
Jiang Yunli looked at the back of the young man struggling to fight, and there was some appreciation in her eyes: "After two rounds of silence, Xie Shi'an started to exert strength. In this round, she knew that the opponent would formulate tactics according to her style of play, so I won't play fast break and fast kill with you. Whoever said that a fast break player can't play a defensive counterattack. If she can win this round, then Xie Shi'an's strength will rise to a higher level, which marks that she is on the way to an all-around player. Another step forward.”
The so-called omnipotence means that there is no weakness.
11:12
12:14
12:16
Xie Shi'an took the lead, and the score was gradually opened.
Jin Nanzhi gritted her silver teeth, and when she fell because of saving the ball, she angrily took the racket and smashed it on the ground to lose her temper.
The audience was in an uproar.
Xie Shi'an looked at her indifferently.
"Are you going to abstain?"
Jin Nanzhi raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.
"Of course not, the game has just begun."
She refused the medical timeout requested by the coach, and the skin on her knee was still bleeding, which was a little shocking to watch.
Jin Nanzhi gasped, gritted his teeth, got up, held the racket again, and raised his head.
"Come again!"
Maybe it's because people are pushed into a desperate situation that they can unleash their full potential. In the last few balls, Jin Nanzhi attacked like crazy. She is proficient in using the left-handed ball, not only can see through all her fake moves, but also find her weak defense by surprise and attack.
She stands here, like a wall, impeccable.
Jin Nanzhi slapped, her eyes turned red, because she found that Xie Shi'an's weakness in the first two rounds was all pretended, and she couldn't break through her defense line at all. After facing Yin Jiayi, she had never felt powerless and peaceful Frustration overwhelmed her again.
"16:20, the last ball!"
"Xie Shi Anping pushed the net and rubbed the ball."
"Jin Nanzhi stares very closely, reacts quickly, and catches the ball with his hands to kill the defense."
"Xie Shi'an retreated and kept controlling the field, dragging her down."
"Jin Nanzhi took off at the same pace, she doesn't want to be dragged and consumed anymore, she is going to give it a go!"
Jiang Yunli stared intently at the screen sent back by the director and said.
"This jumping action doesn't look like it's going to kill the opposite corner, Xie Shi'an is in danger!"
The ball was already flying in the air. Xie Shi'an was in the backcourt, holding the racket with his right hand, but the ball landed near the left side of the center line.
Jin Nanzhi was dripping with sweat, and the clothes on his back were all wet, but there was a smile that was inevitable on the corner of his lips.
Her left hand lore is unstoppable. With this move, she has defeated countless top players, including Korean star Jung Mi-su, who was ranked 25 in the world at the time.
However, the next second, the smile on her lips froze on her face.
It was obviously a backhand position, Xie Shi'an couldn't get through it, but in the blink of an eye, the young blue figure rushed up like lightning, jumped off the ground, and slammed the ball back.
Even the narrator was shocked.
"This ball is obviously a backhand position, how did Xie Shi'an do it!!"
The slow-motion video of the scene came out.
It turned out that at the moment she took off from the ground, the racket in her right hand suddenly changed to the left, and in the way of Jin Nanzhi, she completed the final lore.
When the white meteor fell to the ground, the audience cheered.
Jin Nanzhi fell into the clouds overnight, watching everything that happened in front of him in disbelief.
The commentary sounded.
"Let us congratulate Xie Shi'an for winning the women's singles championship in this year's badminton national competition!! We also wish Jin Nanzhi a better performance in future competitions."
Amid the uproar and tsunami of the audience, Xie Shi'an stepped forward, wanting to shake hands with her.
"Actually, you have played today..."
Before he finished speaking, the hand raised in mid-air was slapped away.
Jin Nanzhi held the racket, turned his head and ran with red eyes.
"Who wants you to comfort me hypocritically, get out!"
***
The game came to an end, the crowd dispersed, and the lights in the empty stadium were turned off one by one, and some people sat in the dark for a long time.
Jin Nanzhi swiped her phone, and a Korean netizen commented on her social account:
"I have been training in China for a year. I really don't know what you have learned? You don't deserve the title of genius girl."
"Today's game was very disappointing."
"You'd better go back and inherit the family business, and stop playing."
"Could it be that you have traveled thousands of miles to China to embarrass the Koreans?"
"I won't like you anymore, trash."
…
Comments like this took up several pages.
Jin Nanzhi sniffed and wiped away tears with the back of his hand. Among all the abuse, only one person left a message to encourage her.
Yin Jiayi: "Come on."
Just two words, followed by a cheering gesture.
Looking at her profile picture, Jin Nanzhi smiled through tears, and the phone vibrated again.
Uncle: "Come out for dinner? Take you to eat army pot."
Jin Nanzhi thought about it, but still rejected him.
Because she has more important things to do now.
The girl wiped away her tears, stood up in the dark, ran wildly, and rushed out of the arena, and finally stopped Xie Shi'an before they got into the car.
She was out of breath from running, her chest heaved violently, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.
"I...I want to ask..."
Xie Shi'an took up her conversation.
"I want to ask why I lost today, right?"
Jin Nanzhi nodded desperately.
The young man put his hands in his pockets, his body was tall and erect, and the moon was breezy.
"I'm training while you're hanging out, I'm training while you're eating, and I'm training while you're sleeping."
"In order to defeat you, I haven't had a complete good night's sleep during this period of time, and none of my successes was accidental."
"You have not been in China for a short time. Think carefully about what you are here for."
After the boy finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Jin Nanzhi standing alone in his place thinking.
When she was about to get into the car, Jin Nanzhi woke up like a dream, ran a few steps, and shouted at her back: "Next time, I won't lose to you again next time!"
Xie Shi'an turned his head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"I am looking forward."
