Chapter Six
Chapter 6
After the meeting in the evening, Zhao Qingguo returned home. The meeting in the afternoon was very effective. The most important thing was that he made a detailed report on Li Tian’s affairs. The leaders of several departments and senior coaches of the track and field team expressed their great interest in Li Tian, and promised that as long as the assessment of Li Tian tomorrow meets the recognition of the track and field coaching team, the Municipal Sports Committee will give Li Tian a green light and give the greatest human and financial support.
"Xiaotian, the leaders and coaches of the Sports Commission tomorrow want to test your strength and conduct some project tests on you. You must take it seriously. This is related to whether you can enter the city's key training of sports talents. Do you know?" Zhao Qingguo reminded Xiaotian.
"I know tomorrow's test is very important, I will work hard. Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down." Li Tian replied with a positive look. After coming back in the evening, he finally knew from his father how amazing the results he had achieved in the morning were, and he also had enough confidence in his abilities.
The next day, Zhao Qingguo took Li Tian to the training ground of the sports school early in the morning to let him get familiar with the track here and make comprehensive warm-up preparations.
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon, under the leadership of Director Wu, leaders of various departments of the Municipal Sports Committee, as well as Coach Xiao, who is in charge of middle and long-distance running in the track and field team, and Coach Fan, who is responsible for sprinting events, all came to the training ground together.
"You are Xiaotian!" Director Wu asked kindly when he saw the little boy who was only as tall as his shoulders and was a little nervous when he saw so many strangers. He was thinking about the genius boy Zhao Qingguo mentioned all night last night, thinking that he would see him tomorrow, so excited that he didn't sleep well.
"Yes! My name is Li Tian!" Li Tian answered with Zhao Qingguo's hand tightly.
"Xiaotian, this is Director Wu of the Sports Commission, hurry up and call someone." Li Tian greeted everyone who arrived under the guidance of Zhao Qingguo.
"Xiao Li, I heard from your father that you run very well. Can you perform to show us people?" Director Wu felt inexplicably liked at first sight. He always felt that the seemingly ordinary child in front of him would definitely bring great changes to himself in the future, but he didn't know whether it would be better or worse.
"Of course there is no problem!" When it comes to running, Li Tian immediately became confident.
"Okay, you can warm up and prepare first, and Coach Xiao and others will test your 1500-meter score for you." Although everyone believed what Zhao Qingguo said, it was true, and those who have worked in sports for half their lives also wanted to see what an exciting scene of an 11-year-old child breaking the national record.
"No, I'm so warm just now, you can start right away!" Li Tian said that, he walked towards the starting point of 1500 meters. After Director Wu nodded to Coach Xiao, Coach Xiao followed with a stopwatch, and everyone walked towards the finishing point of 1500 meters.
"Are you ready?" Li Tian nodded to Coach Xiao to show that everything was ready. His body leaned forward slightly, his legs and waist bent. As soon as he heard the order, he rushed out instantly. He knew that this was an excellent opportunity for him to change his destiny. Before leaving the small mountain village, Li Tian knelt in front of his grandfather's grave and sweared that he must have a future in his life. This test is the key to opening the door of this opportunity. He must do his best. Li Tian secretly reminded himself in his heart.
"Prepare...Run!" As soon as Coach Xiao's word "Run" fell, Li Tian's body rushed out like a sharp arrow from the string.
"The speed is very good! It's rare for him to have such speed at such a young age!" The person who spoke was coach Fan, who was in charge of sprinting events in the city. He looked at athletes more at their speed. Li Tian's acceleration after starting was undoubtedly much better than his peers.
"Director Wu, it seems that this kid is not just a good seedling in medium and long-distance running. You can't be biased towards our sprint team!" Coach Fan said to Director Wu in front of him.
"Why, you have a crush on this kid? Why don't you give him a 100-meter test to see how his grades are. However, he is still too young and his physical strength is immature. His height and strength are not enough to have a serious constraint on speed."
"Okay, wait until this test is finished and then test 100 meters. Now you can grow up if you are not tall enough, and you can practice if you are not strong enough. I think his explosive power is quite outstanding. If you don't hurry up and train when you were a child, it would be a pity to grow up."
"Since you persist, I have no objection." Director Wu originally thought that Li Tian was suitable for middle and long-distance running, but he didn't expect that even Coach Fan, who had always been strict, fell in love with Li Tian. He was so eager that Li Tian was an all-round genius, so he was really developed and would laugh secretly even in his dreams at night.
"Genius, what a well-deserved genius!" After running the second lap, Coach Xiao screamed in shock and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"I have never seen such a lasting person. He can actually maintain this speed for so long. If an ordinary person had maintained such high speed for so long, the lactic acid produced in his body would have been so tired that he couldn't lift his legs. This is why 400 meters and 800 meters are the most difficult to run in all running events, because these two events not only require endurance but also speed, and the accumulation of lactic acid is the fastest, but Li Tian seemed to be unaffected by these factors at all." Coach Xiao explained to everyone.
After everyone heard this, they looked at Li Tian who was walking steadily on the field. His speed did not slow down at all compared to the beginning. If Li Tian could really complete the game at this speed at a constant speed, then his endurance and endurance would be really amazing. Only Zhao Qingguo, who had watched Li Tian's game, understood that Li Tian's amazingness was far more than that. All of this would be staged in the last half of the lap, showing his terrifying sprinting ability.
"There is the last lap!" Coach Xiao, who wanted to appear as calm as possible, could not cover up the excitement in his heart at all, and at the same time, everyone present suddenly felt a sudden thrust.
"Ah! Sprinting! How could this happen?" Zhao Qingguo said in surprise. Seeing the last lap, Li Tian, who had just run by them, suddenly raised his speed. This was beyond his expectations. Ordinary athletes made the final sprint in the last one or two hundred meters.
"Oh my God! This...this..." A large group of old men opened their mouths one by one, but could not say anything else, and their heads turned closely with the movement of Li Tian's figure.
Li Tian is not feeling well now. He attaches too much importance to this test and wants to run better for everyone to see. He ran a little faster than usual in the first three laps, and started sprinting with all strength when there was the last lap. After three laps, he followed by a 400-meter sprint, which was beyond his young age, but his perseverance was supporting him and supporting him to run strongly.
"Not good!" Almost at the same time, coaches Xiao and Fan rushed towards Li Tian. As two senior track and field coaches, their experience made them discover Li Tian's abnormality at the first time. They immediately realized that Li Tian had exceeded the limit that his body could bear, but this stubborn little boy was still insisting on it. If he did not stop his actions immediately, it would cause great harm to his still developing body, and it was very likely that this genius would be ruined.
"Okay! Xiaotian is OK, no need to run away!" The two coaches hugged Xiaotian who was almost exhausted in a blink of an eye and shouted anxiously. Li Tian's performance just now had completely conquered them, and what moved them even more was his perseverance. They believed that with this kind of perseverance and unparalleled athletic talent, coupled with their scientific training, Li Tian will definitely become a sensational figure who shocked the Chinese sports world and even the world sports world in a few years.
Seeing something was wrong, everyone immediately ran towards the three of them, and the ones running in front were Zhao Qingguo and Director Wu. Fortunately, the two coaches stopped them in time, and Li Tian did not have any damage except for some loss of strength, which made everyone feel much more at ease.
Although the test was not completed, the strength shown by Li Tian opened his eyes to everyone present, and unanimously asked the Municipal Sports Commission to assign the best coach to train him professionally. Coaches Xiao and Fan immediately proposed that they would be Li Tian's professional coach, and they also quarreled about what projects should Li Tian train first.
"Xiaotian is already very tired. He needs to have a good rest after he goes back. He will never be allowed to mess around again next time. You are our baby. If something goes wrong, we will all be heartbroken." Director Wu caressed Li Tiandao who was held in Zhao Qingguo's arms with care.
