When Lu Xiu was buried in the sea of questions in his book, he was preparing for the college entrance examination day and night.
Shangjing, Huaxia Sports Center.
The heads of the swimming center gathered around the conference table.
The managers of the provincial teams sat around them.
The atmosphere in the conference room was very tense.
The person in charge of the meeting was the head of the swimming center.
"I'm sure everyone knows about this.”
"In March this year, the ace of our men's swimming team was suspended.”
"Just now, our other player, Ning Ze, also needed to recuperate for a period of time due to his injury.”
"As for whether we can make it to the Olympics in Jingdong this year, it's still a different story.”
"In addition, there are two other contestants who are injured. It is estimated that it will be difficult for them to perform well.”
The leader's voice was very heavy.
"All in all, we are seriously lacking in combat strength.”
"The Olympics in Jingdong is coming soon. I think you know what this means.”
"In this world, no one wants to raise the red flag on the land of Tokyo more than us.”
"That's why I gathered all of you here today to discuss this matter!”
"If anyone has any good suggestions or excellent players, you can directly recommend them.”
The leader glanced around.
The coaches of the provincial teams looked at each other.
They were like frosted eggplants, listless.
If it were any other matter, the coaches of the provincial team would probably be smiling like flowers.
But this time, they really couldn't laugh.
It wasn't that they didn't want to contribute, but they really couldn't!
This was competitive sports, and strength was king.
Without excellent players, no matter how good a strategy or tactic was, it would be useless.
But recommending talents…
The excellent players had been selected by the national team early on, and the strength of those who stayed was much worse.
Where would there be any talents?
If they were to recommend these crooked melons and dates, it was estimated that there would be a storm in the next second.
This was a small matter. He might not even be able to keep his position as a coach.
The coaches were silent, and the leader's face was getting uglier and uglier.
At some point, the leaders of the swimming center focused their attention on a corner of the meeting room.
Coach Anton, who was sitting in the corner, seemed to have felt the burning gaze. He mustered up his courage and raised his hand.
"Leader, I would like to recommend a contestant!”
When the other coaches saw someone step forward, they all turned around to look.
They wanted to know who dared to overestimate themselves!
However, when many coaches realized that the person who raised his hand was Anton, they were shocked.
Not only was there no ridicule or disdain, but there was also no look of ridicule.
Instead, they all revealed expressions of understanding.
Almost at the same time, everyone thought of the Shadow who won the title of Surging Thorns and Waves at the National Games.
"If it's Coach Anton, he's quite reliable.”
The leader's expression softened slightly when he saw someone standing up.
"Alright, just tell me who you want to recommend.”
"The player I recommend is called Lu Xiu. He's 18 years old this year.”
"He won three gold and one silver in the freestyle and breaststroke events of the National Games.”
The leader frowned. Not only was he not happy, but he was also a little angry.
"Our swimming event is so short of people?”
Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood.
This sentence translated to:
There were no heroes at that time, but he became famous.
How scarce are our swimming athletes?
An eighteen-year-old kid actually won the championship?
The second-in-command in charge of the swimming event quickly went over.
"Boss, it's not what you think!
"Ning Ze also participated in these projects, but he was still defeated by Lu Xiu.”
When the leader heard that Ningze had actually lost to Lu Xiu, his expression changed slightly.
There were at least a few hundred players on the national team.
Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to remember the number one.
However, as one of the trump cards of the swimming team, Ning Ze's reputation was still very resounding.
Therefore, when he heard that even Ningze had been defeated by Lu Xiu, the leader could not help but feel a little expectant.
"This Lu Xiu was actually able to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and win the championship from Ning Ze.”
"Looks like you still have some ability!"
The second-in-command saw that the boss was a little embarrassed and quickly added.
"Isn't that so? It's said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!”
"Moreover, not only did Lu Xiu win three championships, but he also broke two Asian records!”
When the leader heard that Lu Xiu had actually broken the Asian record, his expression became even more interesting.
"How come I've never heard of such an ace player?”
"And why wasn't such an excellent player selected for the national team? His name isn't even on the list of substitutes?”
The second-in-command saw that the leader was anxious and quickly explained the situation.
"Lu Xiu was a student before. He had never received formal training or participated in a competition.”
"This year's National Games is his first official competition!”
The more he listened, the more he felt like he was listening to a heavenly book.
"So, it's not that he's not good enough, it's just that he didn't make it to the selection for the national team!”
The second-in-command slapped his thigh.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Call me now!”
"I want to see him at the sports center tomorrow!”
The last sentence was for Coach Anton.
Faced with the highest order, how could Anton dare to disobey?
"Alright, I'll call him now.”
Anton said as he walked out of the conference room.
After a while, he came back with a long face.
The second-in-command saw Anton's expression and knew that things were not going well.
"What happened? Is there a problem?"
Coach Anton said hesitantly.
"That's not true. He's more than happy to be able to win glory for the country.”
"Then why?"
"It's not that I can't come. It's just that tomorrow won't be good.”
"When will he arrive?"
Anton carefully looked at the leader's face.
"I estimate that I have to wait for three days, no, two days!”
The leader who was thirsty for talent was unhappy.
Even the second-in-command, who had been speaking up for Lu Xiu, did not understand.
"Since you're willing, why can't you rush over as soon as possible?”
"The Olympics is such a big event that we can't afford to delay for even a moment.”
At this moment, everyone in the conference room focused on Anton's face.
They all wanted to know what reason Anton and Lu Xiu would give.
Coach Anton looked around with a helpless expression.
"He said that the college entrance examination is tomorrow…"
"He has to take the college entrance examination first!"
