During the Snowstorm

Chapter 59: boy's voice (3)

Within a minute, the phone in the room and Lin Yiyang's cell phone rang in succession.

One was the captain of the women's team, Lin Lin, and the other was Jiang Yang, who had already entered the elevator and was about to come back. Both of them were reminding Lin Yiyang to release him quickly. The national team has team rules. During the Asian Games, all private activities are prohibited. Don't play with fire.

In fact, both of them are talking nonsense, this is the Asian Games, of course he knows the seriousness.

If you really don't know what to do, you would have stopped answering the phone a long time ago, what should you do?

After Lin Lin finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Jiang Yang has been with the golf club for many years, and has developed a temperament to worry about.

To put it off, he has already hung up.

But now, Lin Yiyang listened to Jiang Yang smoking a cigarette over there, talking nonsense, and suddenly realized that there are people in this world who are simply worrying about themselves, which is also a kind of luck.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Yang asked impatiently when he heard that he did not speak.

"Finished?" he asked.

""

"Come back when you're done, and go to the test table together," he said. "If it's too late, someone else will grab it."

On the third day of the schedule, the billiard hall officially kicked off.

A total of three days of competition, ten events, from the group stage to the finals are all completed at one time.

Men and women are interspersed, and projects are interspersed, so everyone must get together throughout the whole process.

In the locker room, everyone changed out of the national team uniforms and put on the competition uniforms in the industry again. The men wore shirts and trousers, and the women also wore uniforms. They took out the clubs and left the club boxes in the locker room. .

Lin Yiyang was outside the lounge, waiting for everyone at the entrance of the stadium, and the team quickly gathered.

In the first row, everyone has won the World Open Championship, Meng Xiaodong, Jiang Yang, Yin Guo, Lin Lin, Liu Xiran...

The second row is the second echelon, Li Qingyan, Wu Wei, Chen Anan, Fan Wencong and others.

The head coach looked at these people and smiled: "Everyone has won the gold medal of the World Open, and they say a few words in a fake way? Instead, it affects the mood of the game. Does the captain have anything to say?"

Lin Yiyang thought for a while, but there was really nothing to mobilize.

In front of us are all the top players in the world. If today is the Olympic Games, we still need to encourage and fight. But in the Asian division, you still need to mobilize before the game? ...it's shameful to say it.

The Chinese team has always been the first in gold medals and first in medals in the Asian Games. The billiards team rarely comes here once, and the chain cannot be lost.

The head coach coughed, felt a little embarrassed, and waved his hand: "Let's go, come in and get the gold medal."

But after taking two steps out, I felt that something was wrong. It was rare to come here, and it would be too out of character to be warm-blooded, so the old man in his fifties raised his right hand and waved heavily: "I can't win the gold medal first! Let me go. go home!"

Everyone cooperated and agreed in unison: "Okay!"

As a result, the Chinese team entered the arena with the enthusiasm inspired by the head coach, holding their own clubs one by one.

The path of the corridor is very short, and within a few minutes, the sight suddenly becomes clear.

Surprisingly, the entire pool hall was full of people.

At this moment, we were resting before the game. The audience was originally noisy and disorderly. When the Chinese team entered the stadium, it gradually became quiet. It turns out that this city has no chance to hold various open billiards competitions. It is rare that a group of top players in the world can appear in this billiard hall, and there are many star players of snooker and nine-ball, which naturally attracts people from all over the world. City fans.

The coach took everyone to the rest area and shook hands with the neighboring coaches from Singapore, Japan and South Korea.

"Everyone has noticed now that our Chinese team has entered the rest area of the game," the match commentator began to excitedly introduce today's blockbuster stars as soon as they saw them entering the stadium, "As you can see, this year's China The billiard team is full of stars. There are snooker's Lin Yiyang, Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang. These three have signed up for many competitions for the Asian Games. Among them, Lin Yiyang has signed up for all five men's events, and Meng Xiaodong has also signed up for Sri Lanka. Nock, snooker team and ten goals. Jiang Yang just took over a major operation three months ago, and only reported snooker team in this Asian Games, which is very regrettable.

"Looking at the women's team, the one on the far left is Yin Guo. This teenager ranked third in the world last year with nine-ball tricks, and just won the nine-ball US Open championship in April. And Liu Xiran, who is next to her, is even more indifferent. Simply, the champion of the just-concluded Fancy Nine-Ball World Championship and the runner-up in the U.S. Open."

"Sitting next to the two is Lin Lin, who once announced his retirement. This is also a titan that can't be ignored. For this Asian Games, she will come back again and will play in six red ball snooker and nine ball. Appearing in team competitions

Every time a name is mentioned, there is a corresponding response from the fans in the audience.

The small billiard hall set off a wave of noise.

Everyone has begun to enter the state of the group stage.

Yin Guo had three events, and already felt that the three-day schedule from the group stage to the finals would be very difficult without interruption. Not to mention Lin Yiyang, it's just three days in a row...

Fortunately, his other partner in each project is very strong. Even if he makes a mistake, there is still the other side, and he won't lose the gold medal.

Snooker, with Meng Xiaodong;

Ten goals, or Meng Xiaodong;

Eight goals, with Li Qingyan;

In the snooker group, Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang cooperated together.

And Nine Balls... is the newcomer king who had been beaten by Yin Guo once. Of course, the young man who had not been submissive to Lin Yiyang had already been subdued by Lin Yiyang in the 70-day training camp.

***

The first day was a group stage.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the second day, the first gold medal was born in the pool hall, which is the most unsuspenseful, men's 9-ball gold medal.

"It's Lin Yiyang! Lin Yiyang, who signed up for five events, successfully won the first gold medal! Congratulations to Lin Yiyang for winning the gold medal in the men's 9-ball event!"

"9 goals was Lin Yiyang's main event. He won this gold medal very easily! There is no match for him in the Asian division."

"I believe that at this moment, in the other hemisphere, there are also a large number of Lin's 9-ball fans watching the live broadcast of this match!"

The commentary filled the stadium, and the birth of the first gold gave the stadium its first wave of cheers.

Another player from the Chinese team stopped in the semi-finals.

Lin Yiyang stood on the podium alone, standing at the top, and accepted the gold medal that the organizer put on him.

After all, it was billiards' first gold at the Asian Games. When he returned to the rest area, reporters had already surrounded him. Lin Yiyang looked very calm in front of the camera. This is just the first gold medal, and the good show is yet to come.

"Women's 9-ball is our strongest sport," he said at the end of the brief interview, focusing directly on the women's 9-ball. "Believe me, the gold and silver medals will be ours."

As Lin Yiyang said.

At 3:15 in the afternoon, applause broke out again, and the second gold medal was born.

The 34-year-old Chinese veteran Liu Xiran won the women's 9-ball gold medal, and her teammate Yin Guo won the silver medal.

Yin Guo ran over from the other side of the table and gave the champion a big hug. Her hand holding the club was sweaty, and her eyes were full of smiles: "It really deserves its name, it's great that you can get this gold medal!"

Liu Xiran's eyes were completely red, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

As a player who has retired for several years, she is so afraid that she will not be able to return to this arena. But along the way, she used her strength to prove that she can, even better than before: "Thank you...Thank you."

"Don't retire next year," Yin Guo joked in a low voice, "Wait for me to beat you. World Championships and Asian Games, let's win together."

"Okay! Wait for you to win back!" Liu Xiran nodded with a smile.

Yin Guo dodged two steps and let the champion bow to the audience to celebrate the first gold medal.

Liu Xiran stepped off the stage, and the first person to hug was Jiang Yang, the old friend who helped her the most: "Thank you, let me stay in Dongxincheng to practice ball." Jiang Yang smiled and patted her back: "It should, All brothers."

ten minutes later.

Yin Guo stood on the podium of the runner-up leader. Beside her, Liu Xiran was standing in the championship position one head above her.

She could see from a distance that Lin Yiyang was standing in front of a group of teammates, staring at herself. The second she looked, Lin Yiyang gave her a handsome thumbs up.

The Chinese team got off to a good start with 9 goals and double gold.

Since then, the medals have been in the bag.

Six thirty-nine in the afternoon.

Women's 8 goals, the Chinese team earned a silver medal.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Women's 10 goals, the Chinese team earned another bronze medal.

Eight forty in the evening.

Lin Yiyang finally won the men's 8-ball gold medal.

This is his second gold medal today. When he stood on the podium again, all the fans present stood up one after another. Whether it was to watch his game or not, those who came here were congratulating him for taking the second gold medal. .

This is also the last gold medal today, the last award ceremony.

After the first 9-goal victory, he had to continue the game and couldn't change his clothes, but this time he changed back to the unified uniform of the Chinese team in advance. He came back from the corridor alone, and Li Qingyan, who won the bronze medal, watched him change his clothes and put his sportswear over his shirt. In midsummer, the temperature is high, and even if there is an air conditioner blowing in the gym, you will sweat immediately.

Lin Yiyang walked up to Li Qingyan and smiled at him: "It's not too hot."

"It's a rare time," Li Qingyan replied with a smile, "It's okay."

Li Qingyan is a snooker player, but there are obviously three players. He has no chance to report for snooker at all, so he played the 8-ball qualifier instead. Unexpectedly, actually took off a bronze medal.

Today's all competitions are over, and the winners and losers of the five projects have been decided.

In the rest area, everyone relaxed, Yin Guo rubbed his forearms and shoulders, waiting to see him stand on the podium again. Suddenly, a gold medal went around his face and was hung around his neck. It was Lin Yiyang's first 9-ball gold medal.

By the way, he also pinched her little round face, and smiled and compared a "1". Yin Guo knew what he meant: this was the first piece, and he was going to get the second piece right away.

Her man is on the way to his peak.

Lin Yiyang, who was wearing sportswear, followed the staff to the podium and stepped up to the highest position, followed by a male contestant from Hong Kong, China, and Li Qingyan finally stood on the third place to receive the award. Lin Yiyang was wearing the sportswear and sneakers of the Chinese team, with his hands behind his back and slightly bent over, he was given a gold medal by the organizer. The other party smiled and patted his shoulder: "I look forward to your performance tomorrow."

Tomorrow, snooker solo, snooker group, this is another main item of Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang smiled and nodded.

Last time it was a single-sided flag, and now, it's a double-sided flag.

He and Li Qingyan stood on the podium together, watching the national flag rising slowly over the stadium, listening to the national anthem resounding through the gymnasium, and thinking of what the teacher once said:

It's too late to start, it's really late. Look at the development of projects in other countries.

And another sentence:

Little Liu, don't lose the chain, you still have a long way to go.

That night, Lin Yiyang updated a new circle of friends. It is a group photo of today's two gold medals, side by side on the Chinese team's jersey. The text is presented to my teacher, He Wenfeng.
