Jiangzhou University, open-air stadium.

"Watch your approach! Pay attention!"

Lin Yahui wore a peaked cap on his head, blue and white sports shorts and shorts, and a pair of running shoes on his feet. He stood on the edge of the high jump bar and shouted to Liu Xiaohu who was running,

"The approach to running is easy, natural, and elastic. The body should lean inward! Okay, let's take off!"

In the midst of Lin Yahui's shouts, Liu Xiaohu, who had taken a few steps to the high jump bar, flicked his feet hard, and jumped backwards sideways, just like a carp trying to jump over the dragon's gate, drawing a perfect line in the air.

The arc finally sinks deeply into the thick sponge cushion.

Before he could feel the endless fatigue caused by long-term training, he climbed up from the sponge cushion and hurriedly looked up at the horizontal bar that was higher than his height.

When he jumped to the highest point before, he clearly felt his butt lightly brush against the crossbar. At that time, he couldn't help but feel a little "thump" in his heart, but it was obvious that he was still unwilling to give up and had to see it with his own eyes.

OK.

When Liu Xiaohu raised his head, he saw the horizontal bar swaying gently, as if his heart was also rising and falling, making him forget to even breathe.

I don’t know how long it took, but the swing of the horizontal bar became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.

Until then, Liu Xiaohu took a long breath and finally showed a smile on his face!

218 meters!

Months of hard work have paid off. He is only 0.02 meters away from the standard of a national-level athlete!

"Don't be too excited, where are you going?"

Lin Yahui, who was standing aside, saw Liu Xiaohu smiling like a fool and couldn't help pouring cold water on him. He chuckled and said,

"Even if you reach the standard of a national-level athlete, it's nothing special.

Don’t you watch the news yourself? A 20-year-old youngster from Suzhou jumped 230 meters in a competition, directly reaching the level of an international athlete!

You seem a little older than others, right? Even national-level athletes have to work hard!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and raised the horizontal bar another 2 centimeters to a height of 22 meters. Then he raised his eyebrows at Liu Xiaohu.

"How about it? Do you dare to try it? If you have the ability, you can become a national-level athlete today. Then I can still look up to you!"

Upon hearing Lin Yahui's words, the smile on Liu Xiaohu's face froze instantly, and then slowly disappeared.

He glanced at Lin Yahui, without saying a word, silently jumped down from the sponge mat, and slowly walked back to the starting line, shaking his hands and shaking his legs, ready to do it again.

When he decided to practice high jump, his goal was to become a world champion!

He really couldn't believe it. A mere national-level athlete with the minimum standard height could really block him?

How can this be?!

He is Liu Xiaohu!

Lin Yahui stood on the edge of the crossbar with his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Xiaohu from a distance. He could clearly feel the suppressed anger in Liu Xiaohu's body.

He is not afraid of Liu Xiaohu's anger. Only when he is angry can he be motivated and can be cruel to himself.

Only by being willing to be cruel to yourself can you achieve good results.

That's how he came here in the first place.

What he was most afraid of was that Liu Xiaohu would feel angry and finally lie flat on his back after holding it in. That would be really sad.

Of course, if Liu Xiaohu is really like this, then he has no choice but to give up on him.

Without a strong psychological quality, you can't succeed in anything, let alone competitive sports where the competition is cruel?

Lin Yahui arrived at Jiangda just two days ago.

This is the second time he has returned to his alma mater in the past six months.

The last time I came back, I was invited by my alma mater to conduct intensive training for the junior students who are preparing for the Provincial Games to be held in July.

Of course, he was not the only one who came back that time, there were also senior women's discus world champion sister Chen Lei, track and field grand prix men's 100m champion Wang Dongkai and a bunch of others.

The difference from last time is that this time when he returned to his alma mater, he was not invited, but came back to join the job.

Today, he is no longer a member of the Chinese track and field national team, but a coach at the Sports College of Jiangzhou University.

When he came back last time, the school held a welcome banquet for famous alumni like them on the second floor of the Seventh Canteen. Lin Yahui was deeply shocked and made him discover that in addition to winning awards in competitions, there are many other things in the world.

other fun.

For example, taste delicious food.

Especially the delicacies made by Jiang Yu in Jiang Daqi Canteen are simply the best in the world!

Just one bite can make people feel full of joy, and the whole person will be immersed in the emotions of happiness and satisfaction, and cannot extricate themselves for a long time.

It was precisely because he had long recalled and remembered Jiang Yu's delicious food that Lin Yahui had other thoughts in his heart.

Especially after he recovered from his Achilles tendon injury, his competitive level has been unable to return to its peak state for a long time. Winning awards in competitions has become out of reach. When it is almost a luxury, maybe it is also a good idea to change his way of life.

Very good thing.

After figuring it out, Lin Yahui found the dean of Jiangnan University School of Physical Education and had a deep chat.

After getting the other party's response, Lin Yahui decisively chose to retire as soon as he returned to the team after the last training camp, regardless of the persuasion and persuasion of his coach and teammates to stay.

Then he quickly completed various retirement procedures, and just two days ago he returned to Jiangnan University to complete the entry procedures.

The reason why he had to come back in such a hurry was not because of anything else, but because the 15th Zhangjiang Provincial Games was very close. He had to get in position as soon as possible and conduct a few more rounds of actual training with Liu Xiaohu before the start of the game, as much as possible.

Improve his performance in the hope that the other party can achieve a good result in this sports meeting.

This is the first important competition Lin Yahui has faced since joining Jiangnan University. He urgently needs to get a good result to prove his worth.

He used to be a good athlete when he was an athlete, and now he will definitely be a good coach if he chooses to be a coach!

It is precisely because of this that Lin Yahui has been back for two days, and he has not even had time to visit his junior student Jiang Yu in the Seventh Canteen, let alone taste the delicacies made by Jiang Yu that he has longed for.

But greedy is greedy, and he can still tell which is light and which is serious.

The most important thing now is to strengthen the "one-on-one" practical training for Liu Xiaohu. As long as he can achieve good results in this provincial sports meeting, will he have less to eat?

Even if he just asked Jiang Yu to cook for him alone... that would be impossible.

But there must be no problem in finding a private room on the second floor of the Seventh Canteen and having a good meal.

"Xiaohu, Xiaohu, coach, whether I can eat the food cooked by junior Xiao Jiang depends entirely on you. Even if you don't fight for yourself, you still have to work hard for the coach's appetite!"

Lin Yahui looked at Liu Xiaohu standing on the starting line in the distance, and couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart,

"If you can win the championship at the Provincial Games, I will reward you with a big chicken drumstick...well, let's go with the big chicken wings. There is too much meat in the drumsticks and you can't control it."

Thinking of the saliva chicken he had last time at Restaurant No. 7, Lin Yahui's saliva almost flowed out of the corners of his mouth. He quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, inadvertently "sucked" a mouthful, and couldn't help but sigh again.

.

After returning to Jiangda in the past two days, it became increasingly difficult for him to resist the temptation of delicious food in the Seventh Canteen. Whenever he thought of the dishes he ate last time, he couldn't help but feel the long-lost delicious taste in his mouth.

No, you still have to endure it!

After enduring this period of time, I can go to Qi Canteen to eat every day!

He calmed down, then raised his head and looked into the distance.

Liu Xiaohu's face was full of seriousness. After taking a deep breath, he ran towards this side with his long legs. His strong posture and light steps were pleasing to the eye just to look at.

Flexing his legs, exerting force, and leaping up, Liu Xiaohu's figure drew an arc in the air and fell heavily onto the sponge cushion on the other side.

"22 meters! Passed!"

Lin Yahui couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw that the high horizontal bar was motionless. He walked to Liu Xiaohu and said encouragingly,

"Xiaohu, this jump of yours is much more perfect than the last one. Remember, after jumping up, your waist must be straight forward and must not be relaxed, otherwise it will be like the last jump and your butt will be rubbed.

Rod!

The crossbar didn't fall off when your butt hit you last time, that's entirely because you jumped high enough. As long as your movements are regular enough, I believe you can jump to higher heights!"

After a pause, he smiled at Liu Xiaohu again and said with concern,

"Okay, drink some water and slow down for a while. We will practice your approach later. Your approach is still not standard enough. Unfortunately, it has become a habit and you can only change it slowly."

"Um."

Liu Xiaohu was also very excited. Since the first half of this year, his training volume has been very heavy and very hard. Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and persevered. The improvement in his performance was also obvious. In just a few months, he became

It has increased from 21 meters at the beginning to 22 meters today.

The height of 22 meters is the standard for national-level athletes in men's high jump, which means that Liu Xiaohu has now reached the level of national-level athletes.

Of course, the results of the trial jump do not count. He still needs to achieve such results in the competition to be recognized by the relevant departments.

"I have only jumped the height of 22 meters once. The next time I jump, I may not be able to pass it. I have to work harder!"

High jumping is also very about state. It does not mean that after jumping this height, you can jump over it in the future. Once the movements are not standardized and your condition is not good, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to jump over.

But Liu Xiaohu is still very confident. He believes in himself that since he can skip once, he can skip twice, three times, countless times!

As long as he doesn't relax and continues to train hard, he will still be able to jump better than 22 meters!

After drinking some water, Liu Xiaohu took a few breaths and started training again.
