Chapter 65: "Farewell" to her!
Today's training camp is really a wheel battle, and the entire "Huaifeng" is in a tense state for this competition.
Both Xu Zitian and Mu Sheng became Jiang Nuan's sparring partners. All practice matches followed the standard of regular competitions, and the coach's judgment was much stricter.
Finally, they ushered in the provincial trials of the National Youth Fencing League.
In the evening, Jiang Nuan took a shower and went to bed at nine o'clock. As soon as he closed his eyes, he kept imagining the next day's game, and he couldn't sleep at all.
At this time, Jiang Nuan received a text message from Lu Ran on his mobile phone, and he was a little excited. When he clicked it, Lu Ran predicted his state again.
Lu Ran: Lying in bed and feeling nervous.
Jiang Nuan: No! If you don't send a message to wake me up, I will go to see Duke Zhou!
Lu Ran: Don't be nervous. The real master can only be seen in the imperial capital.
Jiang Nuan thought for a while, but returned a message: what about Tan Yi?
Lu Ran: Do you think it is you, or Xu Zitian?
Jiang Nuan raised his eyebrows a little: Of course I'm great.
Lu Ran: Tan Yi's level is between Mu Sheng and Xu Zitian.
Jiang Nuan sat up and looked at the phone screen quietly.
Xu Zitian's level is in the middle of the men's saber level in this group in the country. But when it comes to the women's saber, this mid-range is absolutely superior.
Isn't that great?
Jiang Nuan pursed his mouth, and replied: That level is not so powerful!
Lu Ran replied in seconds: It's not possible, you just come up.
Jiang Nuan replied angrily: What are you doing here? I will do my summer homework!
At almost the same moment, Lu Ran replied: Come up and do something bad. When you're done doing bad things, you're tired.
Jiang Nuan took a deep breath, all sorts of discordant images turned over and over in his mind, and his heart beat like a flood looking for a crack in a dam.
A few seconds later, Lu Ran's text message came again: I meant to play games.
Jiang Nuan just remembered that Lu Ran's use of computers at home is unregulated.
Jiang Nuan replied: You only have one computer, how can the two of us fight?
Lu Ran: I use a laptop.
Jiang Nuan replied unhappily: Show off your wealth.
He said that, but he still put his school uniform over his short-sleeved pajamas and went upstairs.
"It's past nine o'clock, where are you going!" asked Luo Chen, who was sitting watching TV.
"I'll go to Lu Ran's place, and we'll analyze last year's game!"
"Oh, then you go. Come back early, isn't it some kind of group round-robin match tomorrow?"
"Let her go. It's her first competition, and she is inevitably nervous. If she participates in this kind of competition a few times, she will know that the time to be nervous has not yet come." Jiang Huai smiled.
Jiang Nuan had just stepped out of the elevator when he saw that the door of Lu Ran's house had been opened, and even the slippers had been placed at the door.
When she walked to the study, she saw that Lu Ran had already set up the battle, the desktop belonged to her, and Lu Ran used the laptop.
Because he should have just finished taking a shower, he changed out of the coat that smelled of barbecue during the day. He was wearing a pure white T-shirt with a row of English on his chest. His knees were slightly slack on both sides of the seat. Calf stretched out.
"Is your laptop okay? Don't get stuck! Tired me to death..."
Jiang Nuan just sat down and was landing when he heard Lu Ran say, "Your level is already at the bottom of the valley, no matter how miserable it is."
Jiang Nuan's mouth crooked and looked at him: "Hey, I said, do you know that the simple game is actually very good?"
Lu Ran used to have the expression of an old god, but now when he mentioned "concise", he expected it, and his left eyebrow raised slightly.
Tell you to put a fork.
"When I go to the imperial capital, together with Jian Ming, I will beat you back to a rookie."
"I think it's you who cleaned up all the concise blood?"
Lu Ran was a very planned person. He set an alarm on his mobile phone, and when it was half past ten, Jiang Nuan had to go back to sleep.
In this limited time, Lu Ran will exert the greatest efficiency. Jiang Nuan used to form a team and always followed each other to swear words, but with Lu Ran around, Jiang Nuan became a lot more obedient, and the most he said was "help!"
Although it was as Lu Ran had expected, she was an oil-sucking bottle, but for over an hour, she had learned a lot of little tricks from Lu Ran.
"The mages here are pretty good! Do you know each other?"
"You know her too."
"Who? Xu Zitian? Or Mu Sheng?"
Jiang Nuan leaned over to Lu Ran and asked.
"Tan Yi."
Jiang Nuan stopped.
Lu Ran, what is your logic! Am I your girlfriend! You play games with your girlfriend, and you also call my rival who covets your beauty and the opponent on the field, what the hell!
Lu Ran leaned back and looked at her sideways.
The warm light in the study fell on his face, and there was a trace of lazy ruffian in his eyes.
This guy did it on purpose!
100% intentional!
Maybe the other party is not Tan Yi at all!
He was still thinking about the fact that she didn't drink a single sip of Tan Yan's dry vinegar!
"Oh, then have a good time!"
Jiang Nuan shrugged, and just walked to Lu Ran's side when he heard him say: Tan Yi left a message.
Jiang Nuan subconsciously stretched out his head to look: Is your girlfriend's tacit understanding higher than that of me?
Lu Ran replied: This is just a game. goodbye.
Lu Ran withdrew. Although he knew this guy was doing it on purpose, Jiang Nuan was really unhappy.
She patted Lu Ran's shoulder without a smile and said, "Dude, you shouldn't say 'goodbye' to her."
"Then what?" Lu Ran raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Farewell to her!"
After speaking, Jiang Nuan took off and went home.
You little girl, are you still chasing my boyfriend in the game?
It seems that I won't give you some color in this competition. I'm really sorry for the grievances that Lu Ran suffered before!
This time the provincial competition was held in the provincial gymnasium.
Although fencing is not a particularly popular and popular sport, because many students participated in the competition, the relatives and friends who watched the competition were all classmates, and some came from the whole class. Take Tan Yi for example.
Because she was born beautifully, it is said that her grades are also very good. She is the well-deserved school flower of Nanshi, and the male classmate who came to cheer her up... The banners that were opened showed the style of straight men.
Jiang Nuan was waiting at the check-in place, and Jiang Huai was by her side.
Jiang Nuan still kept her small movements when she was nervous, such as constantly touching the ground with her right toes.
Tan Yan was standing not far away. She glanced at Jiang Nuan with a sense of oppression in her eyes. She has obvious hostility to Jiang Nuan.
It seemed that Lu Ran's "goodbye" in the game last night made her very annoyed.
Unfortunately, they were not divided into a group in the group round robin.
Both Cheng Doudou and Rao Can cheered her on in the audience, holding up a homemade board with her name written on it, which together means: Jiang Nuan is invincible.
With this Saint Seiya-like cheering style, Jiang Nuan could even think of Cheng Doudou's handwriting with his knees. Seeing the words "invincible", Jiang Nuan was even more sure of his guess.
When Rao Can sat beside and held a sign with Cheng Doudou, the level of helplessness in her heart should be similar to that of Jiang Nuan...
There are twelve kendos in the entire venue, and all kendos compete at the same time.
In other words, when Jiang Nuan was in the group round robin, Lu Ran was also playing.
The round robin is won by hitting the opponent five times within four minutes.
There are not many contestants in the province at this level of women's saber. There are only four groups of four people in each group.
That is to say, more than an hour is enough from the start of the group round-robin match to the ranking result.
This was the first time Jiang Nuan felt the atmosphere of the game.
When all the participants stood at both ends of the center line of the track, the cheers and shouts in the audience gradually quieted down.
Depressing the face shield, her heart tensed, and when the referee's voice sounded, her opponent's forward stance was quite conservative.
At that moment, all Jiang Nuan's nervousness and anxiety about the unknown game were put down.
Because her opponent is more nervous than she is.
Maybe it was because the other party was already nervous, or because she heard that her coach was Jiang Huai, so she was too wary, but Jiang Nuan didn't like this kind of confrontation.
She tapped her toes and rushed over suddenly.
Like a falcon coming from the wind, the opponent was obviously suppressed by her momentum, and instantly hit the sword.
Jiang Nuan won her first sword in this kind of national competition.
She returned to her original position, waiting for the next round of instructions.
In the auditorium, a college student put one hand on his knee and patted the middle-aged man beside him with the other, and said, "How is it?"
"From the first sword, her pace and skills are very good. But the opponent's level is not enough, you can't see it yet."
Next, Jiang Nuan did not give the opponent a chance to get a point, and chased and slammed all the way, and soon ended the first game of her round-robin match.
Then in the second game, Jiang Nuan moved his wrists.
Jiang Huai patted her daughter on the shoulder and instructed: "This is the one with the highest level in your group competition. Be sure to pay attention to her emergency stop and lunge."
"Okay." Jiang Nuan knew that her luck was actually very good, and the strength of the first opponent was not very strong, which made her adjust her mood on the field.
But fencing is a competitive sport with quick wins and losses. There is not much time to think. Even if you say that your technical level is higher than the opponent, but only five swords means that losing one sword will make you very dangerous.
Once again, she came to the track and saluted the opponent. She stood two meters away from the center line. She pointed her right hand at her opponent and her left hand behind her, her nerves tensed.
The other party obviously had studied her for a long time, and knew that Jiang Nuan's speed and pace scheduling were his strengths. As soon as he came up, he wanted to grab the rhythm. After forcing Jiang Nuan back three steps, Jiang Nuan felt that the other party was about to stop. Lunge split!
For other female players, it would be like suicide to slash at the opponent at this time, but Jiang Nuan is different. Her lunges are also a combination of speed and technique.
When the other party was still accumulating strength, Jiang Nuan suddenly jumped over and hit the other party's shoulder directly!
She was hit by Jiang Nuan before she could use her ultimate move. Her opponent was obviously stunned, and she didn't wake up until the referee announced Jiang Nuan's score.
The middle-aged man in the audience holding the binoculars whispered: "This sword is really beautiful. Zhuang Yun, this girl is a tough character."
"So do you prefer Tan Yan or Jiang Nuan?" Zhuang Yun propped her chin up, watching Jiang Nuan's sword turn half a circle in her hand, she moved her wrist and returned to its original position.
"Tan Yi has a lot of experience in the field. Don't underestimate the fencing field. Sometimes the psychology of the players is more important than the technique."
Jiang Nuan was severely attacked by her opponent in the second round. She stepped back calmly, and her counterattack, split hand and backhand, was almost completed in an instant.
"This sword is beautiful!" Zhuang Yun clapped his hands, "The counterattack was quick and without warning. The defensive counterattacks that followed were coherent and quick, and the judgment of distance was quite sharp and mature."
"Quiet, the next sword is coming." The coach lowered his voice and motioned to Zhuang Yun not to disturb him.
Zhuang Yun let out a sigh of relief.
Next, Jiang Nuan's footsteps were adjusted to a higher level. Three consecutive sword attacks broke the opponent's rhythm. The next fatal blow made the opponent take a big step back.
In this game, Jiang Nuan won five to one.
If Jiang Nuan wins the next game again, he will be locked into the group.
When she returned to her father's side, Jiang Huai was very strict with her performance and analyzed the reason for the sword she lost.
"You hit the opponent's fake move! Your opponent is afraid of you, her fake move is completely distorted, you are still fooled? Have you seen the range of her arm movement? And her feet are obviously going to stop and attack. is you!"
Jiang Nuan, who was still a little relaxed at first, immediately became tense. She couldn't make the same mistake again in the next game.
In the third game, Jiang Nuan was more cautious, but this cautiousness did not affect her speed and decisiveness in her attack. She defeated all the opponents in the group with five swords in a row, ranked first, and successfully qualified for the tournament.
At this time, Jiang Nuan was no longer concerned about his own performance, but Tan Yi.
Tan Yi's group round robin ended a few minutes earlier than Jiang Nuan. She was sitting in her seat drinking water. The two were in the passage back to the locker room, and they met on a narrow road.
Tan Yan was holding the sword in his right hand, and the face guard was still under his arm.
The short-haired girl next to her should be in the same club as her, and the two were chatting.
"Tan Yi, you are the first in the group again. It seems that you have already locked the places for the provincial team this time. I still have to work hard!"
"What are you worried about? We must represent the province to participate in the individual competition this year." Tan Yan seemed to be deliberately telling Jiang Nuan who entered the locker room.
Tan Yi's teammates turned their backs to Jiang Nuan and didn't see her at all.
"But I heard from the coach that the one named Jiang Nuan is also very good! And her father is Jiang Huai! It must be true!"
Hearing others discussing him, Jiang Nuan's mood was a little complicated. She took off her fencing uniform, ready to change into a T-shirt.
Tan Yan patted his teammates on the shoulder: "Huo Ling, your old problem of insecurity has started to happen again? If that Jiang Nuan is really that powerful, why didn't her father let her out to the competition earlier?"
Jiang Nuan acted like he didn't hear anything, and saw Zhenzhang directly on the kendo.
But at this moment, Jiang Nuan's cell phone rang, and Lu Ran's name flashed.
After Jiang Nuan was connected, Lu Ran's calm voice came: "Are you out?"
Jiang Nuan didn't want to attract the attention of others, so she replied, "I haven't changed it yet! Your men's competition is over so soon?"
"My group has no opponents."
Jiang Nuan said in his heart, if your so-called "no opponent" is heard by others, it is estimated that he will vomit blood.
At this time, she heard the sound of a bottle being opened, and something was sprayed directly on her face. When she turned around, she saw the girl named Huo Ling looking at her in surprise, holding a can of Pepsi in her hand.
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Huo Ling probably didn't expect that she was talking about Jiang Nuan just now, and Jiang Nuan was in the locker room, so she was embarrassed now.
"It's alright." Jiang Nuan wiped his face with the clothes he had changed, and stuffed it all hastily into his bag, then walked towards the exit.
"That...that...I really didn't mean to put Coke in your face!" Huo Ling followed and explained.
"I know." Jiang Nuan smiled.
"I heard that you are the first of your group? Are you proud?" Tan Yan leaned against the wardrobe and asked with a slight smile.
She is still a proud swan, but Jiang Nuan can imagine her unwillingness and jealousy in her heart.
"I'm not so proud, it's not that I won you." Jiang Nuan shrugged. She originally thought that choking is very boring, why move her mouth if she can do it! Anyway, in the afternoon, the competition for those two places started directly.
Huo Ling was caught between them, a little embarrassed.
"You can't beat me." Tan Yan's voice was calm.
The tone was very similar to Lu Ran.
This made Jiang Nuan want to lose his temper.
"Is it the same when you play games?"
A trace of doubt appeared in Tan Yan's eyes: "Game? What game?"
Jiang Nuan saw that her expression didn't look like she was pretending.
And she, a girl who is used to being arrogant, will pretend to be forceful, but not stupid.
"Last night, team up with Lu Ran to play games..."
"Do you think I'm like you, so much free time to play games?" Tan Yan snorted and turned around.
Jiang Nuan is still very familiar with the attitude of the hardworking top students towards the scumbags.
But if Tan Yi didn't play games, who was that mage last night?
Two seconds later, a fire burned from Jiang Nuan's chest to the top of his head.
Lu Ran lied to her!
In order to make her unhappy, this neuropathy will do anything to make her unhappy!
Jiang Henan rushed out.
Huo Ling patted Tan Yan's shoulder nervously: "That Jiang Nuan seems to be very angry? Did she hear me when I was discussing her just now? But... I remember I didn't speak ill of her!"
