4.For a week of sounding out and training,Pierre found that Kama was diligent,stubborn and tough but Gongbu was intelligent,flexible and creative,and that they both had the qualities which a cycling player had in the world-class cycling tournament.Accordingly,Pierre taught them in different methods in terms of their different situations and often trained them alone to practice a variety of skills in order to improve their practices as well as theories.Under the concern and cultivation of Pierre,Kama and Gongbu had made rapid progress.

5.But one day,in a 100-meter shuttle run session of the physical training ——Pierre demanded players carry his partner on the back to run —— he found Kama carried Gongbu on the back to run over to the opposite line every time but on retracing Gongbu just crossed his hands on the back and Kama went after him just as a lord and his servant walked one after another,for which Pierre was annoyed and questioned,"Hey,Gongbu,stop goofing off!" But Gongbu simply lifted his head and kept silent.The second time,the third… the followings were the same that Gongbu ran back without Kama on the back.Eventually,Pierre blew his top and lectured,"Lazy yak!" For Pierre's rudeness,Gongbu stretched his neck arrogantly to say,"The truth is whoever,including you,I won't carry on my back except that you are not a human kind like your name,a stone!" Definitely these words irritated Pierre and he roared,"Let me tell you God will punish you!You will compensate all for your laziness." Before all the athletes,he punished Gongbu to finish 500 push-ups.Finally the overtraining twitched Gongbu's arm muscles and then he collapsed,lying on the ground.
6.Seeing Pierre's shadow into the distance,Kama ran to Gongbu,helped the motionless partner up and seized his twitching hands to shake tenderly,crying," Gongbu,Gongbu …" But Gongbu lay in Kama's arms,quietly.In fact,the graveling man had fainted.

7.At that time,Kama couldn't do anything but carried Gongbu on the back and ran to the medical center of the training base.The moment he got to the door,he cried,"Haichu,Haichu,hurry to help me!" Haichu was Kama's younger sister who worked in the medical center as a doctor.So she was asked to treat Gongbu so as to alleviate his pain.As a sweet voice was heard,an angel in white ran out,who was Kama's fairy-like sister,Haichu.She graduated from Plateau Medical College,majoring in kinetic medicine and in the past four years,she had become a kinetic doctor with rich experience here.Seeing Gongbu's painful looks,she shouted to Kama,"Brother,what's up?Who has trained him to such bad situation?How can he train like this?..." As she spoke,she took an alcohol cotton ball to rub Gongbu's limbs and then each finger.Following that,she acupunctured him and again used alcohol cotton balls to rub and massage him.With her careful treatment and massage,Gongbu's symptoms were fading away and gradually he came back to life.Seeing the sweet on her graceful face,Gongbu was deeply touched but he refrained himself and lowered his voice,"Haichu,good girl." Suddenly,Haichu blushed and said tenderly,"Gongbu,damn you,talk nonsense again!" Then she turned and fled away immediately.
8.From then on,the real unmatched hard training began.Beyond all expectation,Pierre ordered a life-size custom sandbag for Gongbu as a special apparatus during the physical training.In addition,the workout of Gongbu is twice than that of other team members.Facing the harsh treatment,Gongbu had nothing to say.He just snatched the heavy bag onto his back and began running on the training ground.One month had passed.Through the diabolic overtraining,all the other players gained greater physical strength,however,Gongbu dropped on the course more than once because of the hard exercises and ultimately again he was sent into the medical center of the training base.

9.In the very afternoon when Gongbu was in hospital once again,Pierre took a bunch of beers from the car to visit him.The coach happened to meet Haichu.In the corridor,he was stopped and lectured,"Coach Pierre,Why do you hold such grudge toward Gongbu?Just because of his insult?" Previously,Pierre heard that Kama's younger sister was pretty like a fairy but just then he thought that Haichu was much more beautiful than a fairy beyond his imagination.Standing before such a belle,he couldn't help focusing his eyesight on her.But he pretended to be lofty,saying,"This is what you don't understand.Go away!Get out of my way!" In face of the man's arrogance,Haichu was annoyed and cried,"No,no,no way!Just tell me,otherwise,on no account can you cross it!" Seeing she was really angry,Pierre changed to be gentle,declaring,"Gongbu,I and Kama,your brother,we all are the men living for honors.You can't understand it and you won't.Come on,let me go there." However,Haichu insisted on blocking the way and uttered in a louder voice," I insist.I don't care whatever honors you live or die for.It's improper for you to punish a player deliberately.Absolutely improper!Besides —— you don't have to see Gongbu.He hates to see you!" For her dominating attitude,Pierre was also really angry and shouted,"You are really impossible.Make such noisy shouting in public?It is out line with your character and beauty." At once,Haichu responded,"Mind your own business!My character and beauty have nothing to do with you."
10.Just the moment when Haichu and Pierre were quarreling,the patients and medical staffs here all went out of the wards,watching the scene of bustle in the corridor.
