Chapter 138: Going to the Battle

When Li Tian walked to the front of the American Youth Team, three familiar figures immediately appeared in front of him. They were Li Tian’s two American teachers, Hart and Coach Caron, and the other was Li Tian’s “senior brother” Michael Johnson. Obviously, the three of them also noticed Li Tian, ​​who was at the forefront of the Chinese Youth Team.

Since the four people are now divided into different camps and their relationships are highly concerned by the media, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Li Tian walked past the three of them, and the four people made a simple exchange in their eyes. Li Tian just nodded to them with a smile and continued to lead his teammates out of the entrance and entrance without any pause. The back he left when he walked past was not only the goal pursued by all the Chinese youth team members, but also the focus of the attention of the American youth team members. From ignorance to being shocked, the American team members heard the most and saw the most was the Dongfang, which was extremely mysterious to them in the two days after arriving in Beijing.

Young, and yesterday Nick learned from the Internet that the leader of the Chinese youth team actually had a teacher-student friendship with Mr. Hart, the technical director of the team, and Mr. Caron, the assistant coach. These two coaches are definitely hot figures in the American sports world. The players trained by them have undoubtedly raised all American players to the highest level. Especially Nick and Wright, who have long noticed Li Tian, ​​have already played a 120,000-strong spirit towards this powerful opponent who will compete with them in the game. The cold and fighting spirit of the eyes have been staring at Li Tian's gradually moving back fiercely.

The day on May 13 is a day that all Chinese sports fans are looking forward to. This Beijing World Youth Track and Field Championships will kick off on time at 9 o'clock in the morning of the same day. More than 100 Chinese athletes will win new honors for China in this five-day competition. Their performance on the court will always touch the hearts of countless Chinese people.

In the early morning of May, the sky still felt misty, but in the training base of the Chinese track and field youth team, all the more than 100 contestants and coaches participating in the competition had already changed into neat and unified national team uniforms and lined up neatly in front of the flag-raising platform of the training base. Amid the solemn national anthem, with more than 100 pairs of eyes focused, the bright five-star red flag slowly rose.

"From today on, we will fight for your honor!" This is the oath made by every athlete present at the heart of the national flag. This is the first time that Li Tian has participated in the national flag raising ceremony in nearly a year. In the past, he did not feel much about the flag raising in school every Monday. It was not until he went to Germany that he truly realized the truth that the honor of the motherland is above everything else. Thinking of the oath he made on the podium in Berlin four months ago, Li Tian could not suppress his excitement. In the past four months, he has stubbornly gritted his teeth and persevered in order to wait for such a moment to arrive and to make this bright red flag rise to the highest peak in the international competition.

At 7:30, they packed their luggage. After everyone finished their breakfast on time at 8:00, two specially dispatched police cars were leading the way. All the team members, coaches and leaders of the Sports Bureau took six luxury buses that were taken by them, followed by the door to the training base.

According to the arrangements of the event organizing committee, the opening ceremony this morning was scheduled at 9 o'clock. Since the five-day schedule schedule set by the IAAF was too close, the Beijing Organizing Committee gave up the decision to hold a grand opening ceremony. All literary and artistic performances were cancelled, and the athletes' admission ceremony and the speech time of relevant personnel were completed within one and a half hours. Then the official competition was immediately followed. This decision was recognized by the participating team members and the audience. In the two hours this morning, there were the men's 100-meter and 200-meter preliminary rounds that Li Tian signed up for. This was not a problem for him who had absolute strength to enter the next round smoothly.

The Chinese delegation's convoy was moving forward quickly under the guidance of the police car. Li Tian sat quietly in the bus seat, still listening calmly to the song Zhao Rong gave him before going to Germany last time, and he was so fascinated. This situation made Chen Qinan, who was quite excited about participating in a major event for the first time around him, and was embarrassed to disturb him.

As the convoy got closer and closer to Chaoyang Sports Fitness and Leisure Park, there were obviously more driving on the road, and the convoy's advance speed also slowed down significantly. It was obvious that these people who were dragging their families and supporting the elderly and the young were heading in the same direction.

"Wow! So many people!" Finally, Chen Qinan couldn't help but scream loudly beside Li Tian. When he was less than a kilometer away from the central track and field, the convoy finally stopped because there were thousands of cars of various types stuck on this short road. No matter how the two police cars in front of the convoy urged with tweeters, the "long dragon" of the car was still moving very slowly.

Other players in the bus also exclaimed similar marvels. With so many people and cars, you can imagine what a hot scene would be on the field.

The two police cars were still using the tweeter to shout, but this attracted the attention of many curious people. The same six buses, and the buses were obviously in the main color of the national flag, which made people recognize that the team was the Chinese delegation coming to participate.

"Li Tian! Li Tian..." Gradually, many spectators who came to watch the game began to approach the six buses, and a few of them soon found Li Tian's figure sitting by the window. They were excited to lean under Li Tian's window, slapped the carriage and shouted Li Tian's name. As soon as the excitement sound came out, more and more people seemed to have taken stimulants, and rushed towards the bus where Li Tian was like a tide. In just a few breaths, the entire bus was surrounded by hundreds of "sky fans", and the car could not move at all.

Although there are sealed windows, Li Tian in the car could still vaguely hear the enthusiastic call of sports fans, and the car was beaten by the fanatical "sky fans", which made the driver's face turn pale.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the police car who opened the road immediately contacted the headquarters after discovering the situation. Ten minutes later, thirty traffic police officers came to the scene to sort out the traffic. However, some problems arose when persuading people to leave the bus. Many sports fans who had never seen Li Tian up close were unwilling to give up this rare opportunity. These traffic police officers had no effect on facing nearly a thousand sports fans.

"Coach Luo, please open the car door and let me go down and try it!" Seeing that the time left the curtain ceremonies was getting shorter and shorter, the bus of the National Youth Team was blocked here and could not move, Li Tian also felt a little anxious and guilty. After all, many sports fans wanted to get as close to him as possible, so he asked Coach Luo, the leader of the same car.

"No, the following is so chaotic. How can you keep going now? What if something happens? I can't take this responsibility!" Coach Luo directly denied Li Tian's proposal without thinking.

"But only I can solve such a problem here. I believe that my sports fans will not do anything that is unfavorable to me. And the opening ceremony will begin soon. As the host of this international competition, the delegation's absence at the opening ceremony will be very harmful to the country's international image. By then, our face will be greatly lost." Li Tian continued without giving up.

"This...!" Coach Luo didn't notice the impact of this problem just now. After hearing Li Tian say this, he suddenly felt quite hesitant.

"Okay then! Let you try." Considering the interests of the country, Coach Luo finally agreed, but he still called the person in charge of the traffic police and asked them to help protect Li Tian's safety.

"Li Tian, ​​Li Tian..." When Li Tian was on the bus opened the door and Li Tian got out of the car, all the sports fans around began to shout excitedly and urged forward frantically, hoping to touch the idol in their hearts with their own hands. Fortunately, the traffic police comrade who had already prepared acted quickly and squeezed into Li Tian in an instant, immediately forming a small encirclement of ten people, struggling to block the excited crowd from Li Tian's body.

"Hello everyone, I am Li Tian! Can you calm down and listen to me say a few words?" Li Tian took a loudspeaker from a traffic policeman and said calmly to the sports fans present. When everyone heard Li Tian's voice, the noisy and chaotic scene suddenly calmed down in an instant. Everyone was quietly watching Li Tian, ​​wanting to hear what he was going to say.

"First of all, I would like to thank you for your kindness to me, Li Tian. I am just an ordinary track and field athlete, but with your care, I have become a little unusual again. It is with your support that I can have the confidence to overcome all difficulties. I also hope that my efforts can repay everyone's care for me. If it is normal, I would be happy to sit with you for various communication, but the current time is not right. It is 8:25, and it is only half an hour before the opening of this World Youth Championship. As this competition

Host, if we miss the opening ceremony of this competition, what kind of damage will be to China's international image be? Everyone should imagine this. And this is also a major blow to all Chinese athletes who have spent decades to establish a good image, so I now urge everyone to give up a passage for the team." Li Tian's sincere words echoed in everyone's ears. Gradually, one, two, three, and more people dispersed. The traffic police immediately seized the time to work. Ten minutes later, the road returned to smooth flow, and the National Youth Team's team was able to continue moving forward.
