south wind into my arms

Chapter 48 Latest Update

Xu Zhiyao came to Nanfeng's house in the afternoon. He had a good plan to play with Lu Sheng for a while, and they returned to the team together in the evening.However, only the black-faced coach Nan is waiting for him.

"Lu Sheng is not here." Nan Feng said to him.

Xu Zhiyao still didn't believe it, "Why isn't it here? Coach Nan, where did you hide Lu Sheng?"

Nanfeng thought to himself, it's not shameful, why should I hide her!He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "If you don't believe me, just find it yourself."

Xu Zhiyao didn't look for him, so he called Lu Sheng.Lu Sheng answered very quickly, and Xu Zhiyao said to the phone, "Hey, Lu Sheng... where are you? Why did you go back so soon and didn't wait for me... What are you doing? Training? Lu Sheng you Is it poisoned, training before the end of the year..."

Come on... He chatted with Lu Sheng in front of Nan Feng.

Nanfeng's teeth were a little itchy.This little bastard Lu Sheng hung up on him three times, but now he answered Xu Zhiyao's call smoothly!Sure enough, women's colleges are not allowed to stay?Ah!
After Xu Zhiyao hung up the phone, he sat here for a while, paid New Year's greetings to the coach, and then went back.After going out, I took a taxi and went straight to the provincial team.

The provincial team has already opened, and Lu Sheng is the only one in the entire indoor training ground, and she is doing strength training.Lu Sheng is good in everything, but there is one thing that makes people particularly disgusted: her muscles are too difficult to train, and it is difficult for her to increase the cross-section of her muscles.Li Weiguo said that ginseng grows faster than her.These words made Lu Sheng depressed for a long time.

In fact, what Li Weiguo said was a bit exaggerated.Over the past month or so, Lu Sheng's muscles have grown, but it's not as obvious and effective as other people's targeted training.

As soon as Xu Zhiyao saw Lu Sheng, he complained to her, "Junior Sister, I'm in bad luck for Chinese New Year! Do you believe such an anti-human thing when I take a math test on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Lu Sheng thought to himself, what's wrong with me?I was rejected by the male god on the first day of the new year!

She didn't want to share her unlucky experience with Xu Zhiyao, in fact, she just hoped that she would forget about it quickly.

Xu Zhiyao chattered for a while about what to eat and what to play during the Chinese New Year. He didn't play anything... Then he asked Lu Sheng if he wanted to play with him.

Lu Sheng shook his head, she wants to train her muscles, anyway, no one likes her anymore, she must practice unscrupulously to become a strong man!

Xu Zhiyao sat on the side, calmly took out a math problem and began to work on it.Teacher Kang was a little crazy and left him a lot of homework for the winter vacation, but his winter vacation was obviously only three days, okay?
After Lu Sheng practiced for a while, Ning Xia and Xu Mengmeng came together, neither of them were from the local area, and they happened to meet at the gate of the provincial team when they came back.The first thing Ningxia noticed was Xu Zhiyao. After all, an athlete who does homework is much different than an athlete who trains...

"What did you write?" Ning Xia was still not quite sure that Xu Zhiyao was doing his homework—maybe he was filling in a messy form?She approached, looked down at the piece of paper, damn it was really a test paper.

She picked up the test paper curiously and looked at it, Xu Mengmeng also leaned her head to read it.

After watching for a while, Ning Xia couldn't help but swear: "Can this kind of problem be solved?"

"Yes, I'm almost done."

Xu Mengmeng looked startled, "Is the college entrance examination so difficult now? I can't even understand the questions..."

"This is not a college entrance examination question, it's a competition question." Lu Sheng also came over to greet the two of them, "This question is much more difficult than the college entrance examination question. It's normal to not understand it, and I can't understand it either." She was actually modest After a while, she can still understand the topic, and of course all she can do is understand the topic...

The eyes of Ningxia and Xu Mengmeng looking at Xu Zhiyao immediately became a little hot, mixed with envy and admiration.People with poor brains will always unconsciously look up to guys with high IQs.

Xu Zhiyao was a little embarrassing and embarrassed, "It's a small skill, it's not worth mentioning."

Lu Sheng was startled: "Xu Zhiyao, you used two idioms all at once, and it's not wrong!"

Xu Zhiyao: Will you join us?Destroy me at this time, you are really my real junior!

Anyway, Ningxia and Xu Mengmeng's attitude towards Xu Zhiyao changed drastically.In the past, they all thought of him as an incomprehensible little magic stick, a big fool, but now they realize that the real person doesn't show his face!Ningxia also sighed: "You know, I really want to find a smart boyfriend, have a smart child, and improve my family genes."

Xu Zhiyao looked at her vigilantly, "If you say this, you are trying to plot something against me, right?"

"No, you talk too much, I can't stand it."

Xu Zhiyao: ...

Xu Mengmeng said, "I don't think you talk too much."

Xu Zhiyao: "I think you talk too much..."

When Xu Mengmeng got angry, she bit off the edge of his test paper.

Xu Zhiyao gritted his teeth, "Are you a dog?"

Xu Mengmeng: "Don't worry, I'll pull it out for you tomorrow."

"..." Such a fresh and refined girl, ordinary men really can't match her.

Frustrated in love, Lu Sheng devoted all his energy to training, and was exhausted like a dead dog every day, so that he could think about things flawlessly.

In a regular intra-team exchange match held at the end of the month, Lu Sheng lost four games and won two games. His results were not the best, but he had made great progress compared to when he first joined the provincial team.Moreover, such progress has occurred in a relatively short period of time, which is very commendable.

Li Weiguo specifically praised her by name during the meeting.

Work hard, always accumulate little by little where you can't see it, until one day it causes enough amazing changes.There are many people or things in this world that may deceive you and fail you, but sweat will not.All your contributions will be silently recorded by time, and then time will fairly convert them into equivalent returns.

At the beginning of February, Lu Sheng went to Hangzhou to participate in a competition - ITF Youth Tournament Hangzhou Station.

ITF is the abbreviation of International Tennis Federation (International Tennis Federation). It hosts a large number of competitions every year. The main competitions are for adults, and there are also many youth competitions. It is the most authoritative of all youth tennis competitions.

There are different levels of competition in the ITF.Different levels of competitions have very different bonuses and points. Naturally, the players attracted are also of different levels.

The competition that Lu Sheng participated in is B-level, which is above average.This level of competition is not something you can participate in just by signing up.For example, Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao, the two have never played any level of ITF competition, and naturally they have no ranking at all.They can only start from the qualifiers, and they must reach the quarterfinals among the 128 draws in the qualifiers before they can qualify for the main draw.Some other players, such as Xu Mengmeng, have a good ITF ranking and can directly enter the main draw.

So Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao went a few days earlier than Xu Mengmeng and the others, in order to play the qualifiers.

In this qualifier, Lu Sheng encountered relatively ordinary opponents. She played for three days and successfully entered the main match.The same is true for Xu Zhiyao.

The other two provincial teammates who played with them in the qualifiers seemed to be unlucky and failed to qualify, so they went back after the qualifiers.

Two days later, Li Weiguo came to Hangzhou with another team from the provincial team.In this competition, the T City Tennis Team has five players in the main match, among which only Lu Sheng came from the qualifiers, and the other four are ranked enough to enter the main match.Only at this time did Lu Sheng truly feel the strength of the T city tennis team.Counting the eight finalists in the qualifiers, there were only forty draws in the main match, and the T city tennis team accounted for one-eighth.Moreover, not all of the forty picks are Chinese, and about a quarter of them are foreign players.

So Lu Sheng felt that it was only natural for him to lose as soon as he entered the provincial team.

However, there is one thing that is not good about the players of the T city team, that is, the rankings of several players are not too high, the highest is Xu Mengmeng, the sixth seed player in this main match.In addition to the strength factor, another reason for the low ranking is that they have not participated in many games, and ITF points need to be played one game at a time. If there are fewer games, the points will naturally be less, and the ranking will not be too high.

The reason why I don't participate in many competitions is because most of the competitions need to be paid at my own expense...

Closer to home.The day before the start of the main match, several players went to draw lots together.Among all the provincial team players, the opponent Lu Sheng drew was the most terrifying - the No. 4 seed player in this competition, a Ukrainian girl.

She couldn't believe her luck would be so bad, No. 4!Is she going to take another tour...

Xu Zhiyao sympathized with her, "Junior Sister, I want to make you the world's number one black hand."

"Couldn't you encourage me..." Lu Sheng felt a little choked up.She took a look at the profile of the Ukrainian girl... she is 18 years old this year, and she is 1.8 meters tall!
Xu Zhiyao gasped, "Is this girl about as tall as me?"

"Yeah." Lu Sheng nodded, she really wants to take a round trip...

Xu Zhiyao comforted her: "It's okay, 'There are no traces of birds in the sky, but I have flown over'."

Lu Sheng didn't want to talk to him.

Lu Sheng didn't practice in the afternoon, so she wanted to search for the Ukrainian girls' game videos.Although the chance of winning is not great, she has to correct her attitude and fight with all her strength, which is considered as exercise.Besides, the training partner is a foreigner this time, how rare it is!

Thinking of it this way, she felt a little better.

Xu Zhiyao accompanied her, but the two of them struggled for a long time but couldn't find the girl's game video.There is no way, she is a foreigner, enter her English name, and the page that pops up on the Internet is an all-English page. They basically can’t understand it. They clicked a few links to enter, but they couldn’t find it. Instead, they saw a few very large-scale ones. Photos that make people blush and heartbeat.

In the end, Li Weiguo came to rescue them.Li Weiguo brought a video file, all about the Ukrainian girl.Lu Sheng was pleasantly surprised, "Coach Li, how did you find it?"

"Where did I find this?"

"Ah, who is that?"

Li Weiguo laughed but didn't answer, he just said, "Just fight as hard as you can, don't feel pressured." The implication is that you don't expect you to win.

Xu Zhiyao and Lu Sheng read the document together.After watching the video, Xu Zhiyao concluded, "A bottom-line offensive player with strong strength and a clear advantage in height."

"En." Lu Sheng nodded. Although she knew that her chance of winning was very small, she still felt very heavy when she thought of being crushed by this opponent.

Xu Zhiyao sighed, and added the most terrible point: "Lu Sheng, her backhand is very steady."

"Yes..." Lu Sheng was about to cry.

She is left-handed, and left-handers are born to counter those who can't hit backhands well, unless the opponent is also left-handed.Originally, if the Ukrainian girl couldn't hit the backhand well and was caught by Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng would still have a chance.But now...

She watched the video again unwillingly. As she watched, a sentence suddenly sounded in her mind: No matter how strong an opponent is, it is impossible to be invulnerable. Everyone has weaknesses.What you have to do is to find the opponent's weakness, use the strong to defeat the weak, and use the long to gain the short.

This is what Nanfeng once said to her.

Heart suddenly felt sour, but not uncomfortable.Although she deliberately forgot about him for so many days, she had to admit that she could always draw strength from him when necessary.

Maybe this is love, I can't say it clearly.

She squinted her eyes at the tall figure of the Ukrainian girl in the video, and said to Xu Zhiyao, "Let's analyze it."

"Why, do you still want to win her?"

"At least I don't want to give up when I haven't lost."

"As expected of my junior sister," Xu Zhiyao said, pointing to the computer screen, "Have you seen it? The biggest advantage of this guy is that he is tall and big, and the ball is fast. With the speed of the ball raised, whether it is a serve or a return, the quality is excellent. Very good. In addition, she plays relatively stable, although she is an attacking player, there are not many unforced errors."

"So, I can't fight with her," Lu Sheng took over, "The result of the fight is to be crushed...Hey, look, her topspin is not as good as the drive..."

"Yes, the control in this area is very general, tsk tsk..."

"Also, have you noticed that she has been guarding the bottom line and basically never runs towards the net unless she is forced to."

"Yeah, she's so lazy."

"..." Lu Sheng gave him a sideways glance. It's really rare that Xu Zhiyao actually called others lazy.

But the Ukrainian girl didn't run to the net, not because she was lazy.After Lu Sheng's observation, this opponent's mobility is not as good as her serve, and the risk of going online is greater than purely guarding the bottom line, so she made a scientific choice.

After some analysis, Lu Sheng carefully formulated his tactics.

Today's training is all adaptive and relatively relaxed, so Lu Sheng freed his mind to think about the south wind.Once the long-suppressed longing fermented, it was out of control. I was in the famous city in the south of the Yangtze River in early spring, thinking about him thousands of miles away.The thoughts in my heart are like fresh willow buds, tender and brittle, with tenacious vitality. Gradually, with the passage of time, they quickly grow into soft slivers thousands of feet, densely entangled in the atrium.

One was unprepared and couldn't help dialing his phone.When she reacted, she immediately hung up again.

Nanfeng's text message came immediately: Come on.

Lu Sheng had a sore nose and almost cried.She despised herself a little, and was inexplicably sentimental.After holding back for a long time, she still couldn't hold back and replied to his message.

Lu Sheng: Yes.
