The surfing champion who learned from the merman [rebirth]

Although surfing has been included in the Olympic Games, this sport is still a niche extreme sport in the world.

Entering the Olympics does not equate it with popularization.

According to the statistics of a well-known sports website, there are more than 2000 million people participating in surfing worldwide.

However, this data is less than half of the number of people participating in other sports, and even less than one-tenth of the number of people participating in football.

Quite a few coastal countries have excellent beaches and sea areas, but they don't know the charm of surfing.

The Olympic Games, as a bridge connecting different national cultures, actually uses this bridge to promote the sport to the whole world.

A few days ago, Shiman had received a call from his father.

When his father asked him why he chose surfing, he gave such a reason.

"Hua has a coastline of thousands of miles, coastal cities where hundreds of millions of young people live, and the strongest production capacity and export trade that can be sold all over the world." Shi Man said calmly: "Why can't we form a It belongs to the surfing culture of Huaguo?"

Shi Qingnian was stunned for a few seconds: "Surf culture?"

"Yes, after the formation of our own surfing culture, the professionalization of this sport will also develop." Shi Man then said: "Professionalization will form a new industry line, such as the promotion of economic development. Not to mention, but I’m sure that surfing professionally can make people have a different future.”

The person on the other end of the phone didn't say anything for a long time, until Shi Man fed a few times, and Shi Qingnian said slowly: "Then you should do it well."

"Of course I will do well on the path I chose." Shi Man said with a light smile.

But even though Shiman told his father so, he was not in a state of confidence.

After all, relying on his own strength alone is unable to modify the national system of Huaguo Sports.

After Shiman arrived in Weishi, he went directly to the competition registration office to register his information.

"ID card, and registration information." The staff pushed the glasses and said.

"I'm here to participate in the United Cup surfing competition." Shi Man handed over his ID card.

The staff put the ID card on the card reader and said, "Where is the surfing license?"

Qi Fang was by Shiman's side, and hurriedly helped the other party dig out the qualification certificate from the backpack and handed it over.

"Hey, this is your new certificate." The staff looked at the qualification certificate: "Issuance time, August NO.11?"

"Ah."

"Then it's been less than a week since you got your qualification certificate?" the staff member asked in surprise.

His voice caught the attention of other registrants at the scene.

Everyone followed the voice and looked over. The young man's childish appearance made everyone frown slightly.

Although the United Cup surfing competition held in Weishi seems to be an amateur competition, it is actually not the case.

The wind speed in coastal cities is extremely fast, and the geographical situation in the coastal waters is relatively steep.

When the wind is strong, the height of some waves can even reach five to six meters.

This makes the difficulty of the game full of unknowns.

And the players who came to participate in the United Cup are professional surfers who have been surfing for several years.

"Are you sure you want to participate in the competition?" The staff kindly reminded: "Although the United Cup is for entertainment, it does not guarantee that you will not encounter huge waves, or even tube waves."

Tube wave, that is, when a huge wave hits, it forms a void space similar to a pipe with the sea below.

When the surfer slides through the tube, if the speed is not enough, he will be swept into the sea by the huge waves above his head.

So even though waves are what surfers want to conquer, not everyone has the courage to try.

The staff continued: "Even if our competition has the best first aid team and rescue team, the risk of the competition is still not small."

Before Shiman had any reaction, Qi Fang next to him asked in doubt: "Is surfing so dangerous?"

"Of course!" The staff looked at each other with dissatisfaction and said, "Surfing is an extreme sport. Even REnextop has signed surfers."

"REnextop?" Qi Fang frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

"REnextop is the Huaguo Extreme Sports Association. He is the exclusive Huaguo authorized operator of XGames." Shi Man explained to Qifang: "XGAME is an extreme sports IP independently operated by the global media giant ESPN. It has been operating in the European and American markets for 25 years.”

REnextop is not a unilateral sports association, it is more of a large organization integrating products, athletes, training and competitions.

This organization is not so much an association, but more like a large company in the entertainment industry that trains trainees.

REnextop believes that sports stars have a wider influence on products containing sports elements than other stars and Internet celebrities, so they create their own sports stars like XGAME.

In addition, due to the support and guidance of the media giant ESPN in the past two years, the development speed of the association is extremely outstanding, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Shi Man still remembers that in the National Skateboard Team, Surf Team and Rock Climbing Team, there were quite a few signed players directly recommended by REnextop.

And XGAME even has pass-through cards for many large-scale competitions, allowing their contracted players to skip qualifying rounds and other physical-intensive preliminaries, and directly participate in the finals in the best condition.

The reason why Shiman is so clear is that when Ji Du went to country M to set up his own IP, he poached many high-level managers and athletes from XGAME.

Then Ji Du relied on the resources given by the system to compete with ESPN.

"Little friend, you understand it quite well." The staff member nodded and said, "There are players signed by REnextop in this United Cup competition."

Shiman was stunned. At this point in time, REnextop's signed players would only have...

"Get out of the way."

The young man was suddenly pushed aside, but the familiar voice made Shi Man frowned slightly.

Shi Man glanced over, and the face in his memory appeared in front of him, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.

He looked at each other coldly, the face in front of him overlapped with the angry face in his memory.

Ying Yuhua?

Recommended by REnextop to the national surfing team's signing player, the peak period of the sport was ranked 61 in the world.

Participated in 35 Olympic Games, but was eliminated in the group stage.

At the same time, he is also a teammate of Shiman Future in the national surfing team.

Ying Yuhua handed his ID card to the staff, and said irritably, "If it wasn't for accumulating points to participate in the World Championships at the end of the year, I wouldn't have come."

Afterwards, he saw another qualification certificate on the table, and picked it up unceremoniously: "Fuck, this kind of competition is really something that cats and dogs can participate in."

"What do you mean!" Laisert was the first to get angry, and he yelled at the other party: "Speak politely."

"I'm not wrong." Ying Yuhua snorted and said, "Like Masters, Diamond, World Tour and World Championships, after registration, places need to be distributed according to the world rankings, and the contestants are all professionals. , and this kind of entertainment can be participated as long as you sign up."

As he spoke, he clicked his tongue a few times: "That's why I said that anyone can participate in this kind of competition."

This sentence successfully aroused the discomfort of the people on the scene, almost to the point of public outrage.

There were quite a few people at the scene who felt the same as Shiman, and some whispered.

"What's so great about the signed players of REnextop, the attitude is too bad."

"If you look down on it, don't come to participate."

Shi Man looked at Ying Yuhua's attitude of looking at people with his nostrils, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He hadn't seen the man since leaving the surf team.

But looking at the other party's attitude as before, Shiman still finds it very annoying, but at the same time he feels that the other party is a bit pitiful.

It's pitiful because he knows that Ying Yuhua is a stupid and easily abetted guy.

After Shiman left Huaguo, he carefully recalled the things he met in the surfing team, and then combined with the final development of other members.

Only then did he truly understand that Ying Yuhua who rushed to the front in every conflict was just holding a gun, and the one who really used the gun should be the person who ordered him from behind.

When the gun is no longer needed, it will be discarded.

The person who gains in the end always puts on the appearance of a peacemaker.

At this time, a person suddenly appeared next to Ying Yuhua and grabbed Ying Yuhua.

"I'm sorry, that's not what he meant." The handsome man apologized again and again, and then asked, "Have you completed the registration?"

"Okay." The staff handed the number plate to the other party: "You are in the third group."

"Okay, thank you." The man took the number plate for Ying Yuhua and hurriedly pulled him away.

It wasn't until the figures of those two people disappeared from Shi Man's field of vision that the young man withdrew his gaze.

That person is the so-called ultimate beneficiary, peacemaker Jiang Gu.

It's just that when Jiang Gu finally made money and profit, would he think of Ying Yuhua, who was paralyzed and lying on the hospital bed?

In the corner of the corridor.

Ying Yuhua was dragged into the shadows before being released by Jiang Gu.

"Jiang Gu, what are you doing?" Ying Yuhua said with some displeasure.

"I would like to ask what do you want to do?" Jiang Gu folded his arms around his chest, frowning at the other party.

"I didn't do anything."

The other party's attitude made Jiang Gu's face darken, and he couldn't help wondering why Ying Yuhua was always so stupid.

He cleared his throat and said, "You know someone from REnextop came to the game."

"REnextop? Who's here?" Ying Yuhua shook his head.

"It's the founder, Mr. Mu." Jiang Gu said seriously: "You are a signed player of REnextop, arguing with people outside will affect the image of REnextop."

Ying Yuhua snorted and said, "I didn't quarrel with them."

"What if someone sees and stabs Mr. Mu?" Jiang Gu said disapprovingly.

"Why did Mr. Mu come here?" Ying Yuhua asked puzzledly: "What's so interesting about this kind of competition? They are all crab soldiers and crab generals."

Jiang Gu touched his chin: "I heard that Mr. Mu came with the people from XGAME."

"European headquarters?"

"Yeah." Jiang Gu nodded: "I also heard that this time is because Mr. Mu's friend introduced him, saying that there are suitable signing players for this competition."

"Ah?" Ying Yuhua was a little puzzled: "The contestants I just saw at the registration office are uneven, and they are all newcomers."

"It may be a newcomer." Jiang Gu thought about it, and continued: "It is definitely not a simple person who can invite Mr. Dongmu, and XGAME is also there. It is very likely to skip REnextop and sign a contract with XGAME headquarters."

"It's not that exaggerated." Ying Yuhua waved his hand and said indifferently: "Signing a contract is difficult. Both of us are qualified after the world ranking reaches [-]. If you want to sign a contract with the headquarters, you must be in the top [-]. .”

"Maybe there is an important relationship that can give the green light." Jiang Gu's eyes flashed a little dark, and he said quietly: "For example, those second-generation people, we must be ten times or a hundred times better than them in order to stand on the same starting line as them. "

"Those who are connected have no skills, and they have to rely on real skills in the arena." Ying Yuhua said indifferently.

"If it doesn't matter, it's very likely that you won't be able to go to the arena." Jiang Gu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said silently: "But maybe I'm thinking too much."

"That's right, don't keep thinking about it." Ying Yuhua patted the opponent's shoulder and said: "When you get the top three points this time, you will be able to participate in the World Championships at the end of the year."

Jiang Gu nodded: "Yes, for the Olympics, we have to start earning points crazily to improve the world rankings."
