Quick Wear: The Happy Master is Not Happy

Chapter 214 On the Eve of Breakthrough

After a few days of treatment and rest, Lin Nuoyan's injury gradually improved, and he immediately returned to the court to continue pursuing his basketball dream.

Lin Nuoyan, a passionate basketball boy, has always dreamed of joining the national team and winning glory for his country. After a long period of preparation and hard work, he finally passed the initial interview of the national team and was only one step away from realizing his dream. However, his parents held a different view on this.

"Nuoyan, do you really want to interview for the national team?" Father Lin looked at his son seriously, "I think you should give up this idea and concentrate on doing other things."

"Why?" Lin Nuoyan asked in confusion, "I have always loved basketball, and joining the national team is my dream."

"You can't make a living by playing basketball," Lin's mother interrupted, "You still have to find a stable job to have a secure future."

"But I have passed the first interview." Lin Nuoyan said excitedly, "As long as I pass one more interview, I can join the national team."

"So what?" Father Lin shook his head. "It's not easy to get into the national team, and even if you get in, there's no guarantee of a future. You should just listen to us and do something else."

Lin Nuoyan felt lost and helpless. He knew his parents' thoughts were out of concern and worry for him, but he really didn't want to give up his dream. He looked at his sister, hoping that she could support him.

"Sister, what do you think?" Lin Nuoyan asked.

Sister Lin pondered for a while, then said, "Nuoyan, I think you should pursue your dream. Basketball is something you love, and if you don't try, you will regret it in the future."

"But my parents..." Lin Nuoyan said hesitantly.

"We can understand our parents' ideas," said Sister Lin, "but we should also respect our own choices. You can try to communicate with them and let them understand your thoughts and determination."

After hearing what his sister said, Lin Nuoyan felt a surge of courage in his heart. He decided to work hard for his dream and also try his best to convince his parents.

In the following days, Lin Nuoyan began to train harder and prepare for the interview. He spent a lot of time on the court every day, constantly improving his skills and physical fitness. At the same time, he also began to communicate in depth with his parents, trying to make them understand his thoughts and determination.

However, communication is not an easy thing. Lin's father and mother still insist on their point of view that Lin Nuoyan should give up basketball and do other more promising things. They are worried that their son will delay his future because of basketball, and they are also worried that he will be hurt or frustrated in the national team.

Lin Nuoyan could understand his parents' worries and concerns, but he really didn't want to give up his dream. He began to look for various ways to prove his strength and determination, hoping to impress his parents.

Finally, by chance, Lin Nuoyan got a chance to show himself. He participated in a game held by the local basketball association and won the applause and recognition of the audience with his outstanding performance. This game not only made Lin Nuoyan more determined in his belief, but also made his parents start to re-examine his dream.

"Nuoyan, you are really talented." Lin's father said after watching the game, "I may have been too stubborn before and didn't understand your ideas."

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be so good at playing." Mother Lin also said with emotion, "But you have to remember that no matter what you do, you have to work hard and don't give up easily."

Hearing his parents' words, Lin Nuoyan felt relieved and excited. He knew that his efforts were not in vain, and he was grateful that his parents finally understood him.

Lin Nuoyan stood at the national tennis team selection site and felt a strong competitive atmosphere. The crowds around him surged like a tide, and each of them had unique skills and were masters from all over the country. Some of them looked confident, and some had sharp eyes, as if they were telling others with their eyes: I am the strongest.

Lin Nuoyan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He knew that although he had good strength, facing so many masters, whether he could stand out was still an unknown. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner tension.

"Are you Lin Nuoyan?" A tall boy came over and looked him up and down. "I heard that you are a good fighter, but in my opinion, you are still far from it."

Lin Nuoyan looked up at the boy, his eyes revealing a kind of provocation and disdain. Lin Nuoyan didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, he knew that this kind of provocation was very common in the game, he didn't need to get angry about it.

However, the boy's provocation did not end. He continued to walk around Lin Nuoyan, making sarcastic remarks from time to time, trying to provoke him. Lin Nuoyan tried to stay calm, but the anger in his heart continued to rise.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in Lin Nuoyan's ears: "Nuoyan, don't care about what he said, you just need to focus on your own game." It was Lin Nuoyan's sister, who had been silently following her brother's game.

Lin Nuoyan turned his head and saw his sister's encouraging eyes. The anger in his heart gradually subsided. He nodded and put his attention back on the game.

The game started, and Lin Nuoyan was fully focused on it. His opponent was the boy who had just provoked him, Li Hao, a famous local tennis player.

At the beginning of the game, Li Hao showed his strong strength. His serve was fast and powerful, which caught Lin Nuoyan off guard. But Lin Nuoyan did not give up. He kept adjusting his state and looking for the opponent's flaws.

Finally, in a crucial round, Lin Nuoyan seized Li Hao's mistake and successfully hit a winning shot. The audience burst into warm applause and cheers, and Lin Nuoyan also felt excited and excited.

However, Li Hao did not give up. He became more fierce and cunning, constantly changing tactics and rhythm, trying to disrupt Lin Nuoyan's rhythm. Lin Nuoyan was not to be outdone, he constantly adjusted his pace and hitting method, and started a fierce contest with Li Hao.

The game went to the last round, and the score between the two sides was very close. Lin Nuoyan felt that his physical strength was a little exhausted, but he still persisted and refused to give up any opportunity. He used his willpower and perseverance to resolve Li Hao's attacks again and again and tied the score.

On the last ball, Lin Nuoyan took a deep breath and stared at the ball with full concentration. He swung his racket hard, and the ball flew towards the opponent's court at a very fast speed. Li Hao tried to hit back, but the ball flew over the edge of his racket and fell out of bounds.

Thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience, and Lin Nuoyan also felt ecstatic and relieved. He successfully defeated Li Hao, and also overcame his inner tension and anxiety.

After the game, Lin Nuoyan walked to his sister and they smiled at each other. He knew that this game not only made him win, but also taught him how to stay calm and confident under pressure.

After returning home, Lin Nuoyan shared his experience of the competition with his parents. Although they had some concerns about Lin Nuoyan's dream before, seeing how confident and determined he is now, they gradually put their concerns aside.

"Nuoyan, you have really grown up." Father Lin said with emotion, "We may have been too stubborn before and did not understand your ideas. Now we are very pleased to see that you can work hard for your dreams."

"Yes, you have always been excellent." Mother Lin also said with a smile, "We believe that you will be able to achieve good results in the national team and win glory for the country."

Lin Nuoyan stood on the court of the first round of the tennis trials, his heartbeat slightly accelerated. He knew that everyone here was a master, and every game should not be underestimated. However, he did not expect that his first opponent would be a muscular man.

This muscular man was over 1.9 meters tall, more than a head taller than Lin Nuoyan. His muscles were clearly defined, as if every muscle contained great power. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through everything. Lin Nuoyan couldn't help but feel a little pressured, but he didn't back down. He knew that only by facing challenges bravely could he go further.

Before the game started, the muscular man walked up to Lin Nuoyan and said in a disdainful tone: "Boy, you look so skinny and weak, you'd better admit defeat quickly to avoid getting hurt."

Lin Nuoyan raised his head, met the muscular man's gaze, and said calmly: "The game hasn't started yet, and it's still uncertain who will win or lose."

The muscular man sneered and said, "Okay, then let me see your strength."

The game started, and the muscular man showed his strong strength right from the start. His serve was fast and powerful, which caught Lin Nuoyan off guard. But Lin Nuoyan did not give up, he kept adjusting his state and looking for the opponent's flaws.

In a crucial round, Lin Nuoyan finally found an opportunity. He moved quickly and hit the ball back to the opponent's court with a precise volley. The muscular man obviously did not expect Lin Nuoyan to have such a counterattack. He hit back hastily, but the ball flew out of bounds.

Applause and cheers broke out in the audience, and Lin Nuoyan also felt excited. He knew that he could not let his guard down and had to continue to go all out.

The following game was even more intense, and Lin Nuoyan and the muscular man had a fierce contest. The muscular man continued to suppress Lin Nuoyan with strength and speed, but Lin Nuoyan relied on his flexibility and skills to resolve the opponent's attacks again and again.

The game went to the last round, and the score between the two sides was very close. The muscular man was obviously a little impatient, and he began to become more fierce and impatient. However, Lin Nuoyan remained calm and focused, and he knew that this was the key to his victory.

On the last ball, Lin Nuoyan took a deep breath and focused on the ball. He swung his racket hard, and the ball flew towards the opponent's court at a very fast speed. The muscular man tried to hit back, but the ball flew over the edge of his racket and fell out of bounds.

There was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the audience, and Lin Nuoyan also felt ecstatic. He successfully defeated the muscular man, and also overcame his inner fear and anxiety.

After the game, Lin Nuoyan walked up to the muscular man, stretched out his hand and said, "You are very strong, but I also have my own strength. Thank you for your challenge."

Although the muscular man lost the game, he also recognized Lin Nuoyan's strength. He nodded and said, "You are really good. I was not wrong about you."

This game actually made Lin Nuoyan more deeply appreciate the cruelty and intensity of the game.

On the semi-final day of the trials, the sun shone through the clouds and onto the court, casting mottled shadows. Lin Nuoyan stood on the sidelines, took a deep breath of fresh air, and prepared to face the next challenge.

His opponent is Qiu Jingji, a strong player from the north, who is also a hot candidate for this competition. Qiu Jingji is tall and muscular, looking like an unshakable mountain. His skill, super half volley, is even more daunting and almost unbeatable.

In the audience, people were talking about it, and most people were not optimistic about Lin Nuoyan. After all, Qiu Jingji's strength was there, and although Lin Nuoyan had made it all the way, he still seemed a little overwhelmed when facing such an opponent.

The game started, and Qiu Jingji showed his strong strength right from the start. His serve was fast and powerful, making it difficult for Lin Nuoyan to deal with it. Whenever Lin Nuoyan tried to attack, Qiu Jingji could always accurately hit the ball back with a super half volley, leaving Lin Nuoyan with nowhere to start.

Lin Nuoyan felt a little frustrated. He knew he had to adjust his state, otherwise he would have no chance of winning the game. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and began to look for Qiu Jingji's flaws.
