Quick Wear: The Happy Master is Not Happy

Chapter 203 On the Eve of Breakthrough

"Sijie, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy." Lin Nuoyan asked with concern.

Xu Sijie raised his head and looked at Lin Nuoyan, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Nuoyan, I admit that your training method is very effective, and everyone's strength has been improved. However, I did not take these exercises as seriously as they did."

Lin Nuoyan was slightly stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect the captain to say that. He tried to comfort Xu Sijie: "Sijie, everyone has their own pace and way. You don't have to blame yourself too much. Besides, I believe in your ability. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to catch up."

However, Xu Sijie did not seem to appreciate it: "Nuoyan, you know what? As the captain, I should set an example and lead everyone to improve together. But I fell behind at this critical moment, which makes me feel like a failure."

Lin Nuoyan looked at Xu Sijie, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He understood that the captain's expectations and sense of responsibility for him were very heavy, which put him under a lot of pressure. However, he also knew that only through hard work and persistence could he truly overcome these difficulties.

"Cijie, I understand how you feel. However, failure is not terrible. What is important is how we face failure and learn lessons from it. I believe you have the ability to overcome this difficulty and find your own rhythm again." Lin Nuoyan encouraged.

Xu Sijie was silent for a while, then raised his head, with a firm light in his eyes: "You are right, Nuoyan. I can't keep immersing myself in self-blame and failure. I need to stand up again and lead the team forward."

In the following days, Xu Sijie began to take training more seriously. He no longer did it perfunctorily as before, but devoted himself to every practice. Lin Nuoyan was always by his side, giving him encouragement and support.

As time went by, Xu Sijie's strength began to gradually improve. He not only performed well in training, but also played a key role in the game. His progress impressed his teammates and made Lin Nuoyan feel sincerely gratified.

After a training session, Xu Sijie walked up to Lin Nuoyan and said sincerely, "Nuoyan, thank you for your support and encouragement. It's you who helped me regain my rhythm and confidence."

Lin Nuoyan smiled and shook his head: "Sijie, this is all your own hard work and persistence. I just did what I should do."

The two smiled at each other, and the barriers and misunderstandings between them disappeared at this moment. They knew that no matter what challenges and difficulties they faced in the future, as long as they worked together, they would be able to lead the team to a more glorious future.

Lin Nuoyan stood at the edge of the training ground, his eyes unconsciously fell on the captain Xu Sijie. He noticed that although Xu Sijie was also participating in the training, he was obviously absent-minded and his movements seemed a little stiff. Lin Nuoyan couldn't help but feel puzzled. He knew that the captain was a very responsible person, so why did he treat the training so perfunctorily?

During a break, Lin Nuoyan took the initiative to walk over to Xu Sijie and tried to understand his situation: "Sijie, what's wrong with you recently? You seem a little absent-minded during training."

Xu Sijie raised his head, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes: "Nuoyan, you don't know, there are too many things in the team. From the schedule to the daily life of the players, everything requires me to worry about. I don't have enough time to focus on my own training."

Lin Nuoyan felt guilty after hearing this. He understood that as the captain, Xu Sijie did bear a lot of pressure and responsibility. However, as a trainer, he had never realized this and mistakenly thought that the captain was just perfunctory in training.

"Sijie, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were under so much pressure before. As a trainer, I should pay more attention to your needs instead of blindly asking you to train according to my plan." Lin Nuoyan said sincerely.

Xu Sijie looked at Lin Nuoyan, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Nuoyan, thank you for your understanding. In fact, I also know that my recent training condition is not good, but I really can't do anything. There are too many things in the team, and I can't handle it."

Lin Nuoyan was silent for a while, then said: "Sijie, maybe we can work together to find a solution to this problem. For example, I can help you share some team work, so that you have more time to focus on your training."

Xu Sijie listened, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Really? That's great! If you can help me share some of the work, I will have more time to improve my own strength."

However, things did not go as smoothly as they imagined. When Lin Nuoyan began to try to share the team affairs, he found that these tasks were far more tedious and complicated than he had imagined. Not only did he have to deal with various documents and arrange the schedule, but he also had to coordinate the relationships between the team members and solve various emergencies. This made him feel a little overwhelmed and he began to doubt whether his decision was correct.

During a heated argument, Xu Sijie expressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Nuoyan's "help": "Nuoyan, I know you want to help me, but your meddling in team affairs makes me even more confused. I think you should just focus on your training. I will handle team affairs myself."

Lin Nuoyan was hurt by Xu Sijie's words. He felt that his good intentions were misunderstood. He tried to explain: "Sijie, I really just want to help you share some pressure so that you have more time to improve your strength. I don't want to interfere with your work, I just hope to provide you with some support."

However, Xu Sijie did not seem to appreciate it: "Nuoyan, I appreciate your kindness. But I have my own way of handling team matters, and I don't need you to interfere too much. I hope you can respect my decision."

The conversation between the two reached a deadlock, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense. Lin Nuoyan felt somewhat helpless and lost, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

However, at this moment, an old team member came over. He saw the tension between the two and took the initiative to mediate: "Nuoyan, Cijie, you are both important members of the team and should understand and support each other. As the captain, Cijie does bear a lot of pressure and responsibility, but he also has his own way of dealing with it. As a trainer, Nuoyan also wants to help him share some of the pressure out of good intentions. We should focus on how to solve the problem instead of blaming each other."

The old team member's words calmed the two of them down. They realized that their previous dispute did not solve the problem, but made the situation worse. So they decided to sit down and have a good talk to find a solution to the problem together.

After an in-depth discussion, the two finally found a common solution. Lin Nuoyan will continue to help Xu Sijie with some simple team affairs, so that he can have more time to focus on his training. At the same time, he will respect Xu Sijie's way of handling things and no longer interfere too much in the team's affairs. And Xu Sijie will cherish Lin Nuoyan's help even more, work hard to improve his strength, and make greater contributions to the team.

From then on, the relationship between Lin Nuoyan and Xu Sijie became more harmonious.

Lin Nuoyan stood on the basketball court, his sportswear soaked with sweat, and every drop of sweat witnessed his unremitting efforts. His basketball skills are undoubtedly top-notch in the team, whether it is accurate shooting or flexible dribbling, all show his outstanding basketball talent. However, Lin Nuoyan is well aware of his shortcomings - his strength level needs to be improved.

In a friendly match with other local teams, Lin Nuoyan's weakness was ruthlessly exposed. When he faced those physically strong opponents, he found it difficult to gain an advantage in physical confrontation. Although he was still able to score with his skills, the feeling of being easily knocked away by his opponents made him feel deeply uneasy.

After the game, Lin Nuoyan found the captain Xu Sijie, hoping to get his understanding and support: "Sijie, I feel that my strength level needs to be improved. In the games against those strong teams, I clearly felt my shortcomings in physical confrontation."

After hearing this, Xu Sijie smiled disapprovingly: "Nuoyan, your skills are already good enough. Although strength is important, it is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat. As long as our team cooperates well and plays to everyone's strengths, we can defeat any opponent."

Lin Nuoyan felt a little dissatisfied after hearing what the captain said. He felt that the captain did not really understand his concerns and did not realize the importance of strength in the game. He tried to explain: "Sijie, I know that technology is important, but strength is also important. If I can't gain an advantage in physical confrontation, then it will be difficult for me to fully utilize my technology."

However, Xu Sijie still insisted on his point of view: "Nuoyan, you are too obsessed with perfection. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and we should learn to accept and play to our strengths. If you feel that you are not strong enough, then do more strength training, but don't forget that our team is a whole, and we can't win by relying on one person."

The conversation between the two reached a deadlock and the atmosphere became tense. Lin Nuoyan felt disappointed and helpless. He felt that the captain did not really consider the problem from his perspective. Xu Sijie also felt that Lin Nuoyan was too stubborn and did not understand the importance of teamwork.

In the following training, Lin Nuoyan began to strengthen his strength training alone. He used all the available time to do various strength exercises, hoping to improve his strength level as soon as possible. However, he found that his strength growth was not obvious, which made him feel a little frustrated.

At the same time, Xu Sijie also noticed the changes in Lin Nuoyan. He saw Lin Nuoyan working hard alone in training, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He began to realize that perhaps his previous words were indeed a bit too arbitrary. He decided to have a good talk with Lin Nuoyan, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding between the two.

During a break, Xu Sijie took the initiative to find Lin Nuoyan: "Nuoyan, I noticed that you have been strengthening your strength training recently. I know that what I said before may have made you a little dissatisfied. But now I realize that everyone has the right to pursue perfection. I will support you in improving your strength level, and I will also help you find a more suitable way to improve it."

After hearing what the captain said, Lin Nuoyan felt a warm current in his heart. He looked at Xu Sijie with gratitude: "Sijie, thank you for your understanding and support. I will continue to work hard to improve my strength level, and at the same time I will pay more attention to teamwork. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to defeat any opponent."

After this in-depth communication, the misunderstanding between the two was finally resolved. They began to jointly look for ways to improve Lin Nuoyan's strength, and supported and encouraged each other in training. Lin Nuoyan's strength level was gradually improved, and his performance in the competition became better.

This experience also made Lin Nuoyan himself deeply realize the importance of communication and understanding.

Lin Nuoyan stood on the court, his heart beating like a drum, sweat running down his forehead and soaking his sportswear. He stared at his opponent's every move, ready to react at any time. However, just as this important game was about to enter a critical moment, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if he was tightly bound by an invisible force, unable to breathe freely. Lin Nuoyan tried hard to adjust his breathing and tried to suppress this feeling, but as time went on, the discomfort became more and more intense.

During a defensive match, Lin Nuoyan tried to grab the ball from his opponent, but his movements were slow due to physical discomfort. He watched the ball slip from his hands and his opponent easily scored. At this moment, Lin Nuoyan was filled with disappointment and self-blame.

After the game, the players surrounded him and criticized Lin Nuoyan's performance. Their words pierced Lin Nuoyan's heart like needles, making him feel extremely painful. He wanted to say something to explain his discomfort, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't make a sound.
