Chapter 14 This "little madman"

Overcoming and overcoming difficulties is a new idea put forward by the head coach of the national team, Xu Yiming, during the winter training at the end of 1994.The proposal seemed tailor-made for me. "This kid, if you practice hard, you will definitely be able to create your own era!" It was Xu Yiming, the head coach who is known as a master in the diving world, who made such a conclusion, and it was after the 1993 National Games.old To be honest, the result of the competition is quite embarrassing. I wanted to enter the top eight and contribute a point to Shaanxi, but I "scrambled and climbed" and ranked in the bottom.But the old coach resisted all opinions and transferred me to the national team, who had no achievements before, and trained under his favorite disciple Wu Guocun for half a year.

The movement that changed my destiny in my life was 307. The 1993 competition was the first time I used this movement. At that time, domestic masters such as Xiao Hailiang and Xu Hao struggled to complete it. I didn’t expect that I just learned it in training and I became CHUA (diving) The term refers to jumping down without any splash.) Xu Yiming pointed at me and told Zhang Lian that in terms of difficulty, this kid has a lot of drive. Overcoming difficulty and overcoming difficulty is a new idea proposed by Xu Yiming during the winter training at the end of 1994.The proposal seemed tailor-made for me.With the dream of being a world champion, I trained even harder, and I conquered two movements in succession: 109C (forward somersault around half knee tuck) and 636 (handstand reverse somersault?).

However, learning these two movements is a matter of competition.I would like to thank my Shaanxi teammate Feng Qin. Without him, I would have been slow to learn these two movements for at least several months.Feng Qin has been competing with me, fighting openly and secretly.His best result was the 8th place in the 1994 National Championships. I had already won the championship, but he didn't think he was worse than me.Our competition, from training, competition to all aspects of life.In training, in addition to comparing quality, quantity, difficulty, and speed. Feng Qin had practiced acrobatics before, with amazing arm strength and good handstand skills (you know, when I was training at Sikuaiyu, I practiced handstand hard for several months.) So he first created 626 handstand movements.That is, after lifting it upside down, then go down with the trend.With Feng Qin as a good reference, I felt that his movements lacked challenges and were too easy to learn. Therefore, I learned 636 by myself, standing upside down with my back facing the diving platform, and somersaulting inwards.

We learned these two movements almost at the same time, but my 636 feet and head could easily hit the springboard, which was a bit risky, and Feng Qin couldn't learn it.In addition, my difficulty factor is 0.1 higher than his.In the competition of this action, I took the lead. Learning 109 is also an accidental opportunity.It was after the end of winter training, at 7:30 in the evening, my platform training plan was completed, and I went to practice the springboard.Feng Qin's movements were a little slow, and the training plan hadn't been completed yet.But he thought he was in good condition and the somersault effect was good, so he went to the stage and started to "jump" 109.

"He also learns 109, is there any mistake?! I am the national champion, I must not fall behind him!" I was "lucky" on the springboard.To be honest, Feng Qin's actions stimulated me a lot, and I felt sour in my heart. However, he jumped several times, all of which were of low quality, almost lying down into the water. Unconvinced, I also stepped onto the 10-meter platform.The first one, the effect of my jump is not bad, but the splash is a bit big, but it is basically a success.I finished a few more in one breath, and none of them jumped, and it was getting better and better.

Seeing my performance, Zhang Lian was overjoyed. He, who has never shown his emotions, took the lead in applauding below, applauding my courage to take the initiative to challenge the difficulty and try new moves. Later, he also concluded to other members of our group: Do you know why Tian Liang went up step by step?Just because he has no injuries, systematic training, and is not afraid of anything.When he praised me like this, I became more motivated. I have minor injuries and illnesses, and I usually don't rest, just sleep and it will be fine. And the head coach Xu Yiming, every time he enters the diving hall majesticly, he will stop his meaningful eyes on me for a while.

At that time, my heart was warm. I understand the meaning behind his gaze!I lead the top level of difficulty and challenge the limit, which caused quite a stir in the diving team.After I learned 109 and 636, it caused a climax for other top masters such as Sun Shuwei and Xiong Ni to challenge the difficulty.If they want to continue to determine the "boss" status in the team, they can only choose to learn and master new movements, otherwise they will be eliminated by our group of children. Xiong Ni seems to have "fallen" at 636, because he was injured during the practice, so he had to give up the platform and attack the springboard in the end.Sun Shuwei, my talented roommate also started to learn 636. Since he had a good foundation and handstand technical specifications, he learned it very quickly.There are also Xiao Hailiang and others.

Of course, their studies are limited to 636, and as for 109, they absolutely refuse to learn from me. 109 is a thankless movement.For us, its difficulty is definitely more than 3.5. The real difficulty should be 3.7 or 3.8.When the FINA determines the difficulty value, the standard is calculated by increasing the number of points for each additional week, but they ignore the most important point, that is, from 3 and a half weeks to 4 and a half weeks, which is to challenge the limits of human beings. .Therefore, the requirements for all aspects of players have to increase accordingly. You must have a perfect height, abundant physical fitness, clear

mind. Maybe in their eyes, I am a lunatic, a lunatic who hits the difficulty. 109 In their view, only fools can dance.Success or failure depends entirely on Mongolia, and the probability of CHUA is very low. Many times I also doubt whether to jump this action, it is too dangerous and not worth it; sometimes, I also feel like a fool.But since I am the only one who can jump and dare to jump, I will jump! I don't know what the masters think of me.However, I don't care about their reaction.There is no concept of seniority in the diving team. You can do as much as you can. All I know is that they have more experience in competitions than me, and play more stably than me, and my advantage lies in the degree of difficulty.

I also know that I am happy.If it is a fool or a lunatic, then it is also a happy fool and a persistent lunatic. At that time, we had a healing and recovery instrument called Liwang.My teammates often joked: "You boy, you are not crazy, you are the king of power!"
