south wind into my arms

Chapter 122 End
With some doubts about Qiao Wanwan, Lu Sheng finished the game and finally advanced smoothly.

A press conference was arranged after the game.At the press conference, Joe Wanwan dropped a bombshell.

"I'm retiring," she said.

The confrontation between the old and the new, and the dispute over the first sister, were instantly wiped out in front of these words.

The reporters immediately exploded and asked why.Is it because of injuries or because of the loss, or because this year's performance has not improved, and the team is unable to make ends meet... In an instant, everyone had a lot of speculation.

"Neither of them," Qiao Wanwan shook her head and said, "It's because I... am a little confused."

Everyone looked at her in astonishment.Including Lu Sheng.

"Is it unbelievable?" She said with a wry smile, "I have played tennis for 20 years, but suddenly one day, I couldn't find the meaning of playing. I used to long for victory and championship. Now, all this is lost to me. It's tempting. I don't know why I'm playing anymore, I really don't.”

There was silence.

Because Qiao Wanwan suddenly announced his retirement, the press conference was overcast.Lu Sheng also felt a little melancholy, and walked out of the venue with Nan Feng, she asked him, "Tell me, why did this happen?"

Nan Feng asked her back, "If Qiao Wanwan reached the Grand Slam final this year, do you think she will choose to retire?"

Lu Sheng was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Nanfeng didn't speak any more.

Lu Sheng asked, "You mean, she retired because of poor grades?"

"What I mean is that there is no need to seek meaning for many things. If you must figure out the meaning of life in order to live, then many people can die."

amount……

Looking at her dazed expression, he was inexplicably amused, raised his hand and gently poked her collagen-filled face, and said with a smile, "Your life is moving forward, and this is the greatest meaning."

Lu Sheng nodded, then sighed again, and said, "But to be honest, it's a pity for her."

"It's really a pity. With her aptitude, she could have gone further, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I haven't passed my level."

In the end of high-level competition, it is always a struggle between self and self, win yourself first, and then win the opponent.It's easy to draw strength from victory, but it's hard to stay true to defeat.

Nanfeng discovered that his only two apprentices did the most difficult things with ease. One was Xiaoqiang who couldn't be beaten to death, and the other was a hob meat that couldn't be eaten by oil or salt. The odds are nothing more than that.

In the semi-finals, Lu Sheng encountered the No. [-] seed and lost quickly.

The coaching staff don't think she has the strength to win the No. [-] seed, but she lost so simply and so quickly... It's quite unexpected.

When Lu Sheng left the stage, he kept touching his wrist. Nan Feng first noticed something was wrong and asked, "Are you injured?"

"It's okay, it just feels a little awkward."

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts a little when I exert force."

"..." Is this all right? !

Nan Feng's expression changed with anxiety, Lu Sheng felt that he was exaggerating a bit, she smiled and said, "Really, it hurts a little."

He glared at her, "Not at all!"

Donald was at the scene. He lifted Lu Sheng's wrist to look at it, then asked her to clench her fist and gently tilt her wrist aside, asking how Lu Sheng felt.

Lu Sheng: "It hurts a little."

Donald: "Probably tendonitis."

After returning home, Donald gave Lu Sheng a detailed diagnosis, and it was confirmed that it was tendonitis, which was not serious.Donald asked, "Have you ever had any pain before?"

"No, but it's a bit awkward."

"A few days?"

"A week or so."

Nan Feng frowned, "Why didn't you tell the doctor earlier?"

Lu Sheng noticed that Nan Feng's complexion seemed to be unwell all the time. She scratched her head and whispered, "It doesn't hurt, it's just awkward. I thought it was because I was tired."

Luo Shuibin said, "You are indeed tired."

Tendonitis is one of the most common injuries among athletes, and the wrist is the most common injury site for tennis players.According to statistics, nearly half of injured professional tennis players suffer from wrist injuries.

There are many reasons for wrist injuries caused by playing tennis, the most common is the unscientific way of hitting the ball.But for high-level athletes, there is basically no possibility of hitting the ball wrongly. They are injured because of excessive exercise.

In short, tired.

Lu Sheng's training has been intense in the past two years, especially after changing coaches.She is so conscious of herself that she hardly has time to rest.The competition was also arranged intensively and intensely. She tried her best on the field, and her exercise intensity was higher than usual training...

For various reasons, her wrist was overwhelmed, which led to today's inflammation.

Fortunately, it is not serious.Donald's expected treatment period is two weeks, and he will be able to train normally after two weeks.As a sports doctor, Donald has not only mastered conventional treatment methods, but also traditional Chinese therapies such as massage and acupuncture. He doesn't know who he learned from.Anyway, when Lu Sheng saw a handsome mixed-race guy take out a row of silver needles to show off in English, she was totally shocked.

Injuries are commonplace for an athlete.Lu Sheng has seen the injuries of big-name players in the news all day long. Now that she is injured, she feels very calm and feels that she is not an athlete if she is not injured.It's a pity that the amount of training during the treatment period was very little, which made her a little uncomfortable.

The other members of the coaching team felt similar to her, and they didn't make a fuss about Lu Sheng's injury.

Except for the south wind.

His heart was very restless.He himself knew that it was because he cared too much, but he couldn't do it without caring.He was afraid that her recovery from the injury would not be smooth, and he was also afraid that she might make other mistakes.He didn't want to worry her by expressing his worries, so he had to keep them all in his heart and show them to the outside, that is, he kept his face all day long and kept away from strangers.

Two weeks finally passed.

Lu Sheng resumed training, and everything went on as usual, nothing went wrong.Only then did Nan Feng feel a little relieved.

In the last month of the year, their days returned to calm. During the New Year's Eve, Nanfeng forced everyone to have a holiday and no training was allowed.Considering Lu Sheng's near-miss injury, he thinks they should have more rest time.

Lu Sheng secretly ran to the training ground, but was caught by Nanfeng.He sneered, "Don't you want to exercise, I will exercise with you."

Lu Sheng: "Whoever wants to exercise on the bed, I will go to the court."

Nan Feng slightly raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure? On the court, um, sports?"

His obscene and shameless expression made her understand instantly, so she kicked him dumbfounded, "Rogue!"

He smiled and grabbed her ankle, reached into her trousers, and slowly rubbed her calf along the cotton sweatpants.

Lu Sheng blushed, grabbed the pillow beside him and hit him, "I just want to go to training."

"You practice here with me first, and if you beat me, I will let you go to the court."

In the new year, the first event is the Shenzhen Open.

Lu Sheng reached the final at the Shenzhen Open, but in the final, what Nan Feng was most worried about happened.

The inflammation in her wrist broke out again.

No one in the team expected her hand injury to recur so quickly.She felt very good in the previous two months of training, but she was beaten back to her original shape as soon as she arrived on the field.

"Could it be a misdiagnosis?" Nan Feng asked Donald.

Donald replied, "It's not a misdiagnosis. If an injury like tendonitis can be misdiagnosed, my medical license can be revoked."

Nanfeng also felt that the possibility of misdiagnosis was unlikely.But why, why did the injury happen so quickly?Obviously he was healed last time.Moreover, according to Donald's diagnosis, this attack was more serious than the last one!

He is going crazy.

But he must remain calm.Calm down and think about what the problem is.

All along, Nan Feng felt that for Lu Sheng, her knees were more likely to be injured than her wrists.Because she can run so much, her knees are under a lot of pressure.Therefore, the coaching team also paid special attention to protecting her knees when arranging the competition.

In the end, the most likely injured knee is fine, but the wrist is injured.

According to her physical fitness, after the tendonitis of that degree is cured, it will not recur so quickly.Because in the final analysis, her subsequent training and competitions did not overdraw her physical strength.

Why, just relapse?

What went wrong?
Is it possible that overexercise was not the cause of her injury?Because if it is really excessive, then the knee is likely to have problems earlier than the wrist.

If it's not overexercise, what could be?

Nanfeng looked back on Lu Sheng's changes over the past year, and suddenly seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.

The next day, he convened a meeting with all the coaching staff.

"Lu Sheng's wrist injury was not caused by excessive training and competition, but probably caused by excessive exertion. Coach Muller often emphasized the importance of strength and ball speed, and Lu Sheng was also aware of this problem. Her subsequent training and Slowly trying to improve the ball speed during the game. As we can see, her ball speed does increase a little bit. We all thought that the increase in her ball speed was due to the improvement of physical function, but it was not, at least, not entirely. She actively, Consciously increasing the speed of the ball, sometimes beyond the normal range of what her body can handle. Especially in the game. In short, it is too hard. I mean, everyone understands, right?"

Everyone nodded and looked at Lu Sheng together.

Lu Sheng swallowed her saliva, feeling a little guilty all of a sudden, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"No, you don't have to apologize," Coach Muller said. "I should apologize. As a coach, I didn't explain the possible problems clearly. This is my negligence."

It was an eye-opener for Lu Sheng that coach Muller even had the day to apologize.

"And me, I didn't do enough," Luo Shuibin said suddenly, "I didn't assess your physical function accurately enough, which led to us not being aware of any problems when you took the initiative to increase the speed of the ball."

"I didn't do well either. I didn't diagnose the real cause of your injury the first time you got hurt," Donald said.

Lu Sheng looked at them movedly, "Thank you."

Luo Shuibin smiled, "Thank you so much, we're out, our duty is to protect you."

Nanfeng suddenly knocked on the table, "I'm trying to solve the problem now, and I didn't ask you to apologize. Besides, if someone must apologize, the person who should apologize is me. I am the head coach and the person in charge of this team." Seeing that everyone was going to talk, he pressed his hand and said, "Let's get down to business. Donald, how long will it take for Lu Sheng to recover from this injury?"

"It will probably take a month."

"Well, I mean, a full recovery, no relapse."

Donald finds this question a bit difficult to answer. "Many athletes will relapse, and the key is to exercise too much."

"Lu Sheng is different. Lu Sheng's injury this time was not due to excessive exercise. At least according to the current amount of exercise, it will not cause excessive strain on her joints. Well, you may not know that she only started learning tennis at the age of 12. So, The consumption of her entire body function is much less than that of ordinary players."

Did you start learning tennis at the age of 12?

Even Mueller was amazed.

Neither Nanfeng nor Lu Sheng mentioned her past, but some media did interview her, and Mueller and Donald couldn't understand the Chinese reports.

Nanfeng ignored Mueller and Donald's full of admiration, and concluded: "So, we can assume that for at least three years, Lu Sheng will not be injured due to overwork. Her wrist can be completely healed. So Donald, can you give me the answer now?"

Donald nodded, and replied, "The treatment period is one month, and she'd better rest for another one to two months. Of course, the longer the rest, the better."

Nan Feng nodded, "Three months."

three months.This number made Lu Sheng a little scared.

Want her to stop playing for three months?There is only one week until the Australian Open!
She quietly raised her hand, "I have something to say."

"Huh?" He turned his head slightly and saw her.I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always felt that his gaze was a bit sharp, as if he had seen through her mind.

Lu Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Can I finish the Australian Open first before treatment?"

"No."

"can."

Two voices sounded almost simultaneously.What agrees is Mueller, and what disagrees is Nanfeng.

Muller's reasoning is: "You are a player, and your vocation is to fight."

Nan Feng shook his head and said, "Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability. Lu Sheng, in your current state, you can't perform at your best at the Australian Open, so it's better not to go."

Lu Sheng was a little depressed, "But I want to go."

"I can't go even if I want to."

Luo Shuibin tried to say, "I think there should be no problem, right? Do a temporary treatment first, and wait until the game is over..."

Nanfeng: "After the game, the injury will worsen, and if it can't be cured, will it relapse forever?"

"Uh...not necessarily."

"Not necessarily means that it is possible."

Muller's temper became a little bit up: "Nanfeng, you are making too much of a fuss. Many players do this, but is Lu Sheng the most delicate?"

Nanfeng: "Yes, my Lu Sheng is the most delicate."

Muller: "..." There is an urge to flip the table.

Lu Sheng said, "However, there are really many players who do this. If others can do it, I can do it too."

"Honey, you may not understand a question," he said, looking into her eyes, "do you think, who is really willing to fight with injuries? Competitive sports are cruel, and many players do this because many players Involuntary. But you are different, I hope that my Lu Sheng will never be involuntary."

Lu Sheng opened his mouth, suddenly moved.

The atmosphere is a little weird now.Some people want to raise the bar, some want to flip the table, and some show affection and affection inexplicably.In the end, everyone had to temporarily suspend the meeting.

Lu Sheng and Nanfeng returned to the hotel together.Although she was moved, Nanfeng's proposal—whether it was to withdraw from the Australian Open, or to suspend training for three consecutive months—was somewhat unacceptable.

Looking back on last year, it was a year when her career rose rapidly, and she created miracles one after another that she could never have imagined before.All miracles are just a start, but she was just getting started, when someone told her suddenly that she had to brake suddenly.

How can you accept it!

Athletes are a high-precision sport, and the coordination of various parts of the body is not inferior to all precision instruments in the world.But the proficiency of technology is different from that of instruments. There are no shortcuts, only the accumulation of sweat.If you don't train for a day, it won't feel right, and if you don't train for a week, the feel will be worse than before.Now, let her rest for at least three months?
What will happen in three months?Can she get back to her current state, can she continue to write about her peak last year, and continue to go higher?This is an unknown.

You must know that many players who return from injury are no longer at their peak and gradually sinking.

"Lu Sheng," Nan Feng suddenly stroked her head, pulled her into his arms and gently hugged her, and said in a low voice, "why is it so disobedient?"

His voice was very gentle, and she felt a little sad when she heard it, her nose was sore.She buried herself in his arms and whispered, "I know you're right, but I..."

He kissed the top of her hair and sighed softly: "Everyone can weigh the pros and cons, but the hardest part is making a choice. Lu Sheng, if you are willing to believe me, please let me help you make the choice .”

"I... I'm just a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, I have everything."

"What if I can't do it well?"

"No. As long as you are still you, I will still be me."

Lu Sheng's heart was soft, she lay quietly in his arms, and said, "Nanfeng, you can help me make a choice."

I entrust my life to you and my supreme trust to you.

Only half of the three-month compulsory vacation has passed, but Lu Sheng is already so idle that grass grows.When she couldn't play, she wandered around the world watching games.Nanfeng had no choice but to accompany her.

Forget it, it's a round-the-world trip.

The Dubai match had just ended recently, and the player Lu Sheng liked was beaten so embarrassingly that she finally didn't want to watch the match. Nanfeng suggested that the two of them go to Europe for a tour.

Well, Europe is Europe.She's only been to Europe to play games, so it's really not fun.

On the plane, Lu Sheng slept for a while, and when she woke up, due to the jet lag, she felt that the time was a little out of order.She took Nan Feng's hand with one hand, scratched the back of his white hand with her index finger, and said while scratching, "I can't play ball, and I feel that my whole life is not right. Why do you think this is?"

Nanfeng closed his eyes and rested his mind like a well-educated monk, and said slowly, "We store the body in the soil of reality, and place the soul in the ideal world. The body is just the body, and the soul is the self."

Sometimes she thinks about things that are ignorant for a long time, and he can always make her clear in one sentence.Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Lu Sheng quickly kissed him on the cheek, "Being more and more knowledgeable."

Under the crowd, Nanfeng actually felt a little hot in the ears.Well, he's not a qualified old rascal.

At this time, the plane announced in English that the plane had arrived in Turkish airspace.

Turkey.

Lu Sheng couldn't forget this place.Ten years ago, Nanfeng's plane crashed in Turkey.

She looked at the big white clouds outside the window, recalled what he said just now, and suddenly felt a little sad.

"I know what you lost back then," she said.

He held the corner of his mouth slightly, closed his eyes and clasped her hand, and said softly, "I've found it."
