: Stay in Guoqing

Li Tian, ​​who had changed into the national team uniform, was no longer willing to take it off. He opened the second cardboard box, which contained a special track and field competition uniform matching the team uniform he was wearing. It also had the color of the national flag as the main color, which made Li Tian very fascinated.

Today's sports media reporters are destined to be very busy. After interviewing Li Tian at the door of the China Athletics Association, they would rush to Beijing International Airport without stopping, because soon the second batch of large teams of the United States, the most powerful team in this World Youth Track and Field Championships, will arrive in Beijing, and they have to rush to interview first-hand information. In addition, there are also legends in the field world like Michael Johnson, whose news is no less than that of interviewing the popular Li Tian.

"Here!" At about 12 noon, as the airport electronic notice board rolled, the chartered flight taken by the US track and field delegation landed at Beijing International Airport on time. This time, due to the staff of the World Youth Games Organizing Committee, the reporters were able to enter the waiting hall smoothly and wait for the US team members and coach leaders to walk out of the exit passage.

Ten minutes later, a huge delegation of more than 100 people poured out from the airport exit passage. In front of the many delegation members was Michael Johnson, a field superstar who was very familiar to all track and field fans, now the leader of this team of tigers and wolfs.

Suddenly, a burst of stars flashed in the waiting hall of the airport, and the sound of shutter pressed by the camera was one after another. Since it was the World Youth Championship, the age of the athletes was limited to the standard of men's 19 years old and women's 18 years old. Among the young players of the US team, only a very small number of them had experienced the test of international competitions. This was the first time that most athletes participated in such a high-standard event. The strong attention of the Chinese media made these young people feel a little flattered.

No matter where he goes, Forrest Gump is always the focus of media reporters' attention. This world champion who once came to China for sprinting projects is not unfamiliar with Chinese sports media. Seeing the group of press teams in the waiting hall, Johnson waved to everyone happily. At this moment, he naturally murdered countless films.

"Hello Mr. Johnson, welcome to China again! Do you have any special feelings compared to before when you came here as the leader of the American track and field team?" As a reporter from CCTV Sports Channel, the well-known reporter Dong Rina got the opportunity to speak first.

"I'm very happy to be here again in Beijing, a wonderful city. I have been here many times in the past. At that time, I was an envoy to sports exchanges between China and the United States. However, this time I came here to 'fight'. I hope everyone will not be too harsh on me, the 'enemy leader'." Johnson seemed very calm in the face of the media, and still maintained his usual humor.

"Mr. Johnson, this time the US team sent the most powerful lineup in the history of the World Youth Championship. Is it a must-win for this competition? What is the biggest goal of the US team?"

"The goal is of course to strive for more victory. Now the track and field level of other countries in the world has been greatly improved. If you want to win, they have to work harder. Of course, they are all very excellent. I am very optimistic about their future." Johnson, as an athlete, has the unique confidence and arrogance of American players. He always likes to make bold words first before the competition, but as the leader of the American team this time, he has to be cautious and still hides the past for some sensitive issues.

...

"Mr. Johnson, in 2004, you came to China for two months for track and field guidance. It can be said that you have a deep understanding of Chinese track and field athletes. So how do you evaluate Chinese athletes?" After several rounds of questions, Song Mingyu from "Sports Weekly" finally seized the opportunity and asked Johnson directly in his fluent English.

"Yes, the two months I was coaching in China were a very beautiful memory! Chinese track and field players are very good. They are constantly making progress, and the speed of progress is surprising. Liu Xiang's performance at the 2004 Olympics confirmed this to everyone. If Chinese players will become the biggest opponent in the future competitions of the United States, I would not be surprised at all!" Johnson made a high evaluation of Chinese players.

"Mr. Johnson, I would like to ask you a more personal question! Have you ever heard of the Chinese player Li Tian?" As Li Tian's most staunch supporter, Song Mingyu never forgets to promote him wherever he goes. Of course, Song Mingyu will not let go of this opportunity that can attract the attention of this legendary figure in Tiantan.

"Are you talking about Li Tian? That Shrek!" When the reporter in front of him mentioned the name "Li Tian", a strange smile appeared on Johnson's face, which made him recall the scene when he first heard the name of this word more than a week ago.

As the leader of the American youth team, after learning that the team's technical director was his mentor, Coach Hart, he made a special trip to the teacher's home for a visit, where he also met the "silver-haired demon" Coach Karon, whom he feared most in his life. The teacher and student have not seen each other for many years. When everyone was talking about interesting things in the past, the two old coaches talked to him about a Chinese genius boy whom they have been coaching together in Germany in the past three months. The boy's name was Li Tian.

Johnson knew that the two teachers had extremely picky eyes and had a high vision, which was very imaginable, but they would even praise the Chinese boy in unison, which surprised him, the former Tiantan superstar. You must know that when he became the world champion, the two coaches did not praise him like this. And they also learned from the two teachers that Li Tian would also represent the Chinese team in this World Youth Championship. As the leader of the American team, he

Of course, we need to have a deeper understanding of the possible important opponents, so we communicated with the two coaches in detail. As a result, a series of exclamation marks kept rising in our minds, especially after reading the various training data saved by the two coaches, he couldn't help but ask Coach Hart foolishly - "Is he a real-life version of the monster Shrek?" Finally, he had to admit that this time the American men's track and field will be challenged by the previous ones.

"Yes, it's Li Tian, ​​do you know him?" Song Mingyu was very excited to hear Johnson's answer. If he could get the evaluation of Li Tian by a "big figure" like him, it would undoubtedly greatly increase Li Tian's international popularity.

"Of course! I know him very well. He is a very outstanding young player. I am looking forward to seeing his performance in this competition. Perhaps his appearance will change the current situation in the world track and field industry. In addition, as the only person who has successfully walked out of the 'hell', I want to express my respect to him. He is an amazing young man." Johnson's smiled answer shocked Song Mingyu. He never expected that this giant in the field would give Li Tian such a high evaluation.

"Change the current situation of the world's track and field industry? Oh my God!" At this time, many reporters who knew what Johnson said through the translation couldn't help but exclaim. This can be said to be the highest evaluation of track and field athletes, and it also affirmed that Li Tian has already entered the ranks of top track and field athletes in the world. At this time, many reporters who had interviewed Li Tian in the morning suddenly noticed that Johnson also mentioned the word "hell". But when they wanted to ask again, the protagonist of the interview had already walked out of the airport hall under the guidance of the event organizers and boarded the bus that had been prepared outside the airport.

Just as many media reporters were waiting for the arrival of the US delegation at the airport, Li Tian, ​​who had completed the procedures for joining the team and obtained the team uniform in the office building of the Athletics Association, bid farewell to Xu Hongtao and accompanied by the assistant secretary-general Cai Yuanqing to the Chinese track and field training base not far away. This time, more than 100 young players carefully selected from various provinces and cities across the country were all gathered here for the final training more than a month ago. Li Tian is the last member of this national youth team to join the team. Of course, the first thing he had to do after arriving at the training base is to arrange a residence for Li Tian.

The dormitory of the National Youth Team is a very ordinary four-story apartment building with two players living in each room. Although Li Tian is now a well-known figure in the domestic field, he cannot enjoy special treatment here.

"Coach Luo, see who I brought you!" As soon as I walked into the gate of the training base, Cai Yuanqing greeted a middle-aged man who was walking towards him from afar.

"Assistant Cai! Hey, Li Tian..." When there was still a long distance, Coach Luo immediately recognized Li Tian and ran over quickly.

"Haha... It's really Li Tian! Hello, hello, I've heard that you have returned to China for a long time, but there has been no news in the past few days, which really makes us anxious! Now I finally see you, it's good to come, it's good to come..." Coach Luo was so excited that he was a little incoherent. While holding Li Tian's hand, he kept patting his shoulder and smiling.

"Xiaotian, let me introduce you to you. This is the leader of our national youth team's men's event, and he will make specific arrangements for you in this game. If you have any problems in life, you can find him to solve them."

"Hello, Coach Luo! I first came to the national team and didn't know anything. I would like to ask you for advice in the future." Li Tian's politeness made Coach Luo very satisfied.

"No problem, no problem. If you have anything, just tell me, let you settle in first, and we have prepared the dormitory for you long ago." Under the guidance of Coach Luo, Li Tian walked into the youth team's member apartment and began his first experience with the national team.
Chapter completed!
