Before it was broadcast, it first attracted the whole network to complain, saying that this so-called "hot-blooded youth competitive drama" "Glory Ping Pong". A few days ago, the show released a trailer, the male protagonist Xu Tan's line, "angered" netizens: "What I want, is not a world champion, nor a Grand Slam, I just want, want to play like this all the time." ”
what?
Competitive sports, don't want to win, don't want to win championships, just want to keep playing like this?
What is this confusing speech?
Sure enough, as soon as it came out, it was ridiculed by the netizen group. I'm sorry, you can't "fight" like this.
Of course, some people say, "Does it have to be this way?" Can't we focus on participation? Others will say, "Everybody wants to win, so who's going to be second, third, fourth, fifth?" ”
Sorry, it had to be.
"Competitive sports, is to win!"
Keep this quote in mind!
Because if you don't win, there's no point!
Because, "If you lose, you are dead!" ”
In the final analysis, competitive sports, all professional athletes, the desire to "win", the extreme desire to win, is that they enter the sport, and for years, decades, as a day, endure lonely, boring training, risk injury, perseverance to the end of the motivation; is their highest respect for the sport.
Speaking of which, from a very young age, Yu Yusuke, who has been very blunt in saying that he "wants to win", "wants to win", "must win", and "must stand in the position of his predecessors", has also been called "arrogant" by some traditional Japanese and Japanese media.
Even when he was an adult, famous, and recorded, he would often "speak wildly". The biggest and most frequently repeated phrase written in the notebook is "Absolutely win!" He remembers writing this when he was in second place in the first game of the 2012 Grand Prix.
With such a strong mood, the "absolutely win" written fiercely has always been the "firm core" that supported him through such a difficult and arduous figure skating years.
Moreover, for the "win" of Yu Sheng's string, I am afraid it will be more thorough.
In a conversation with Matsuoka Shuzo in 2017, Mr. Shuzo also asked about this "always win" question. "You said you want to 'ride on the dust', what kind of image is this riding on the dust?"?
Yusei's answer at the time was: "With zero mistakes from everyone, I also won the championship with zero mistakes." No matter what other people say or assume, I can win. Otherwise, I would not be able to accept it as an athlete. ”
At that time, he was already preparing to sprint for his second Winter Olympics, and he was holding the idea of "getting another Olympic gold medal with a more perfect performance".
However, it was at that time that Yu Yusuke suffered a serious injury before the Olympic War. But three months after his injury, he did not participate in any more competitions and did not show any appearances, and parachuted into the Gangneung Ice Rink after the opening of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, a perfect succession!
How did that nearly impossible victory come about?
His coach, Brian, spoke of the details in a later interview with reporters: "I also had doubts, and I remember talking to Tracy a month before the Olympics that I didn't know what we should do. He was desperate for an Olympic title, had no other options, and second and third place were not on his mind. It's about winning. He did, we were all just helping him and supporting him, and he was the one who took it step by step and all the way to the Olympics. ”
The Feather Knot, who accomplished all this with his extreme desire for victory and his extreme love for figure skating, has come to this day even after Pyeongchang Lianba, with the goal of "winning".
At the start of the season in 2018-19, Yusuke Yusuke, who had already "fulfilled most of his figure skating visions," said that after Pyeongchang, he hoped he could "skate for himself". But after going through one game after another, he had a deeper interpretation of this sentence. He said: "The so-called skating for oneself is to slide down perfectly and win. This competition made me understand this. ”
As long as you're still on the field, there's no time when you don't want to win! And only by running towards winning can competition truly realize its value.
Some Japanese reporters once wrote that because the traditional Japanese people take "introverted" as the way to deal with the world, even athletes, few people will be particularly straightforward to show their competitive spirit, desire to win, naked performance, speak out, but also completely do not shy away from it.
Therefore, when that game is won, it is said that "it is very happy, but there is still room for improvement, and there is still a bigger and overwhelming victory", and the mistake of that game is even more "No, I have to work hard!" I'm not happy I'm sorry I have to win! The feathered string will also make some people feel that the "sense of oppression" is too heavy and do not like him. There are also people who will really like some athletes who seem to be more "casual" because of this.
But is that kind of casualness really a respect and love for the sport?
Can such casualness really achieve victory and achieve the sportsmanship of "higher, faster and stronger"?
As Yusei Yusuke said, "I hate the statement that I succeed or not, but always challenge it with the mentality of 'I will definitely succeed'... If you don't force yourself, you don't take it seriously, and you lose your original intention as an athlete! ”
Whether or not he can really win in the end, no matter what kind of ranking he will achieve, a professional athlete, from the time he entered that sport, did not have a heart of "to win the gold medal", and said "courtesy" and "casualness" in the arena, that is really, an insult to that sport.
Speaking of table tennis, as the Dragons said, "I think competitive sports are all about winning, and if you don't win, it's national fitness." ”
And the national fitness movement is really not carried out on the professional field!
