JUST FOR YOU
"Whoops, whoops"
The train has been traveling for 38 hours, from Urumqi to Beijing and from Beijing to Dalian.
Before leaving, a group of young men excitedly embarked on the "unknown" road, but now they were sleeping under the table one by one, exhausted.
After two days and one night, the train finally arrived at its destination.
Ali struggled to get up from his seat, and this tall man of one meter and ninety-two hid in a small space for dozens of hours. He rubbed his sore waist and thought: Oh my God, before the player is tired and half dead, what to do with the game...
This is 2015, less than a year of studying baseball, Ali, the first time to participate in the National Collegiate Baseball League.
The second from the right is Ali
Until the first game he actually played, Ali was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and his teammates had just been knocked out by three strikes, "Can I play well?" He held his breath and stared dead at the hitter.
A ball is struck, and the ball flies in the direction of the shortstop.
"Didn't get it!" Ali seized the opportunity and quickly ran up the base, the first base... Second base!
The moment he stood on second base, his blood boiled up, which was the feeling he wanted, and under the infinite tension and challenge, the more courageous he became.
Looking at this baseball player who is full of vigor in the national league, who would have thought that a year ago, Ali was just a college freshman who never exercised and was thin and thin...

In 2014, during the summer vacation of his junior year of high school, Ali and his classmate Wu Tikur, who was admitted to Xinjiang University with him, imagined their future university life.
Two children who want to escape the monotonous study life are excitedly planning their after-school life at university.
"How about learning baseball?" I heard that the new big baseball team is very good, and has won the national championship! The friend asked.
Ali was delighted: "Baseball? Sounds cool, seen on TV before, wearing a baseball cap, handsome! Okay, that's it. ”
Therefore, Ali, who was running to play cool, participated in the registration on the day of the baseball varsity team recruitment.
The new baseball team was a golden signboard, a total of seventy or eighty freshmen signed up, And Ali stood in the middle and was not conspicuous, because this tall man of one meter and nine meters weighed only 75 kilograms at the time.
How thin this looks.
Timu, who was with him, secretly shook his head: "This person, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold on for half a month." ”
Timothy's guess is not unreasonable, every night of physical training, Ali almost counted first, and he has been the one who has been dragging his legs in the team game.
The senior in the team was also the ace pitcher at that time, hating iron and steel, and every time he killed him "why can't keep up", "like a kite, I have to lead you to run!" ”
Ali was not annoyed either, but said: "You slow down, I am faster, don't you catch up slowly?" ”

In the first half of the freshman year, almost every week, some people couldn't stick to it and quit the team.
Ali's physical fitness could not keep up, and he was murdered many times, but he gritted his teeth and refused to retreat, not only survived the second semester, but also fought for the opportunity to participate in the national league.
When a person has truly experienced the blood boiling of the baseball arena and even the Jedi counterattack, he will have a deep trace of baseball in his heart and can no longer let go of the sport.
Ali is like that.
Originally just for "cool", and then it was unwilling to train physically, but in his sophomore year, he made up his mind to work hard to practice baseball.
In order to improve his physical fitness, as soon as the school started, he signed up for the gym, and the fitness that did not fall for a day increased muscles. Until the second semester of the sophomore year, the students gained weight from 75 kilograms to 85 kilograms, and gained 20 pounds of muscle.
The team is the first in physical fitness, and in just one year, he has become a master who leads everyone to do physical training every day.
The suffering under Ali cannot be said to be without effort.
His change comes not only from his physical strength, but also from the confidence and strength that comes from controlling his body.
"I've become more extroverted and more daring," Ali said.
"Before doing things, I wanted to think about it for half a day, doubted whether I could do it, and thought about it before and after. Now I not only dare to make a decision, but also dare to act, and I am confident in myself. ”
This is the reason why Ali has grown up because of baseball, the field is ever-changing, every second and every moment to make a decision on what to do next, and it is his determination and confidence that is tempered.

In his junior year, Timothy became the captain of the new baseball team, and Ali naturally became the vice captain.
He and Wutikur assisted Timo in team building, Ali was responsible for being strict, and Wutikur was responsible for encouragement.
After graduating from college, Ali organized the students in the team, and he said: "Scolding you is not to vent, but we said that we would cooperate in this way, for you and the team to be better." We teach you this, and you will teach your brothers in the future. ”
The inheritance of the new baseball varsity team has made the three people feel the responsibility and responsibility, and also clarified the future road.
Become a baseball coach.
After graduation, the three of them went to Shenzhen club development together, and in March 2019, at the invitation of Qi Le Baseball, Ali came to Changsha.
He's a strict coach and the most popular coach on the pitch, he's technically and physically.
"Today's children's physical fitness is generally not up to standard, I myself have changed from a weak person to a strong stick, and I know very well how great the change brought about by controlling my body is." Ali said.
Ali's heart for baseball and physical education is undoubtedly sincere.
His original intention as a coach is to copy his own path of becoming stronger and more confident - so that the thin and unconfident children learn baseball, starting from the control of the body, learning the way to control life.
