Chapter 226 Time

Shortly after Ke Fan and the other two left in a hurry, Zhang Lin and the other three quickly finished their lunch, hurried out of "Quanjude", called a taxi and rushed straight to the training center of the Chinese Swimming Team.

"What big thing happened in the team? Boss Yuan asked us to hurry back immediately!" Just ten minutes ago, the three of them were tasting the delicious roast duck with relish, and Wu Peng's cell phone rang. It was not the other person who called, but the leader of the Chinese swimming team, Yuan Jiawei.

"Do you three guys know what time it's already? The plane arrived more than an hour ago. I don't care where you are now, get back immediately! Immediately!" The roar from the other end of the phone made Zhang Lin and Ouyang, who were sitting next to Wu Peng, tremble.

"Who knows, it's rare for Boss Yuan to have such a big temper, which shows that things are quite big!" Although Yuan Jiawei has always been known for being strict, he rarely loses his temper and usually takes good care of the elite figures in the swimming team such as Wu Peng and others.

Half an hour later, Zhang Lin and the other two rushed into the gate of the Chinese swimming team training center with a look of expression. They didn't bother to respond to the greetings of their acquaintances around them. They rushed to Yuan Jiawei's team leader's office without even having time to put their luggage in, for fear that Yuan Boss would do something "terrible" to them after they went late.

"Dong, dun, dun!" Wu Peng and the other two tidied up their clothes outside the door and knocked on the office door.

"Come in!" A low and powerful voice came out of the room inside. The three people outside the door looked at each other, then opened the door and walked in.

"Former leader, we are back!" These swimming geniuses who are always energetic in the eyes of outsiders act like good babies in front of Yuan Jiawei, standing honestly at Yuan Jiawei's desk and not daring to move around.

"Well! Just come back, just sit down!" The middle-aged man at the desk raised his head, looked at the three of them and signaled them to sit on the sofa opposite. At this time, Zhang Lin and others noticed that the original leader, who was always energetic, had red eyes at this time, and his tired expression was obvious. However, he rarely smoked, but the ashtray on the desk was full of extinguished cigarette butts. It seemed that the original leader's life was not easy during this period!

"Team leader, what happened to the team?" Seeing Yuan Jiawei's abnormal performance, the three of them asked carefully.

"What happened to Xiaoli!" The Xiaoli mentioned by Yuan Jiawei is Liu Li, one of the main players of the Chinese swimming team. Although Liu Li is not as talented as the three people in front of him and is famous, he has always steadily occupied the absolute main position of the short-distance freestyle event. 50 meters and 100 meters are his strengths. The "10th National Games" won one first and the other third in these two events, which shows his position in the Chinese swimming world.

"The day before yesterday, he encountered a car accident on his way back from home on vacation. The hospital report has come out. He has a comminuted fracture of his right knee. He has to say goodbye to the swimming arena in his life!" Yuan Jiawei sighed long. He had closed his eyes all day and night for this matter. In order to deal with Liu Li's situation, blocking media news has made him feel exhausted. If the other contestants were involved, perhaps Yuan Jiawei might not have felt such a headache, because Liu Li is not only one of the few masters in the Chinese men's swimming events, but more importantly, he is still the Chinese swimming team.

One of the four main members of the two collective events, including 4 by 100 meters and 4 by 200 meters relay, his absence will greatly affect the performance of the Chinese team in these two collective events. It is impossible to find a person who can replace him in the short term. At the Shanghai World Swimming Championships that followed in August, the Chinese men's relay team is also responsible for winning tickets to the Beijing Olympics in these two events, which means that the Chinese team must at least reach the final and lose the general before the battle. This is no wonder Yuan Jiawei's face is so serious.

"How could this happen? It's still fine in Germany..." Thinking back to his teammates who fought with him and others in the German arena a few days ago, now he has to live with the help of a wheelchair and crutches, the three of them can't speak for a while.

"I asked you to come back quickly. On the one hand, I want you to comfort him well. After all, you have a good relationship in the team. On the other hand, you need to speed up the time to reorganize the relay team. You are all members of the relay team, and the team also needs your joint efforts. The World Championships are imminent, and our task is very heavy." Yuan Jiawei's words made the three of them nod.

"Team leader, then who will replace Ali's free position?" Zhang Lin is also the main force of the relay team. Of course, she is very clear about how much impact Liu Li will have on the relay team after leaving.

"There is no conclusion in the team yet. It takes several coaches from the coaching team to discuss and examine some players before they can make the final decision. Well, you won't worry about these things. You just need to comfort Xiaoli and concentrate on preparing for the World Championship." Yuan Jiawei did not want these worries to interfere with the normal training of these beloved players too much.

"Team leader, we are all very clear about the strength of other people in the team. To be honest, except for the original few people in our relay team, the others have no ability to replace Ali's position." The relay team is a whole. If the strength cannot be recognized by other members, it will definitely affect the performance of the game. Therefore, Zhang Lin attaches great importance to the newly joined teammates.

"We are also very clear about these, so I have asked local teams in various provinces and cities to select the best players for the selection, hoping to find the right candidate." Yuan Jiawei couldn't help but sigh at the withering of domestic swimming talents. A main force was injured and could not find someone who could replace him. Zhang Lin also sneered at Yuan Jiawei's statement. The national team has already concentrated the best players in the country, and who can find out from the local team?

"Team leader, since the team cannot find a suitable candidate for a while, can we recommend someone? We are willing to make sure that he has the strength to replace Ali, and has great potential that Ali does not have." Zhang Lin couldn't help but wonder if this was God's arrangement. They went to Germany to participate in the competition. Later, when they visited friends, they happened to help Li Tian improve their swimming skills. When they returned to the national team, they learned that the teammates of the relay team were injured and would withdraw from the swimming world. There was no replacement candidate in the team. At this time, Li Tian was undoubtedly the best candidate to fill this vacancy.

"Who?" Yuan Jiawei's unsightly eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Lin's words. He still believed in the eyes of these beloved generals very much. Those who can get their recognition must have excellent strength. Although it is not certain whether they can replace Liu Li's vacancy, at least there is no harm in trying it.

"I think you should have heard of this person's name. We stayed in Germany this time to visit him. As a result, his swimming ability surprised us a few, and his swimming talent made us even more apologize for us." Wu Peng's words aroused Yuan Jiawei's interest. You should know that Wu Peng is now the "No. 1" of the Chinese swimming team, and his swimming talent is recognized by the domestic swimming world. What kind of person can make this "genius" think he is also inferior to him?

"I know people, and I really can't think of who they will be. I only know Li Tian, ​​a Chinese in Germany. It's not him!" Yuan Jiawei thought for a while and said jokingly.

"Yes, it's him, it's Li Tian!" Ouyang Kunpeng nodded affirmatively.

"What, is it Li Tian? It's really Li Tian? How is it possible? He is a professional track and field athlete, how could it be..." Unexpectedly, his joke came true, Yuan Jiawei's head was short-circuited.

"He is a good track and field player, but the FINA does not stipulate that track and field players cannot participate in swimming competitions! Moreover, his current strength is definitely the top in China. These are facts we have confirmed with our own eyes, and in Germany we also volunteered to be a swimming coach for him for three days. We have his swimming training records during this period. You can understand it with a good look." Zhang Lin and others always kept training records very carefully and in detail when conducting swimming training for Li Tian, ​​so Zhang Lin handed a notebook in his luggage to Yuan Jiawei.

"Why is the 50-meter freestyle only 25 seconds 83? Even the local team players can swim out in this score. Why do you guys..." Yuan Jiawei opened the first page of the notebook, which recorded the results of Li Tian's first test on the first day. Seeing such a poor score, I wonder why the three favorite players recommended him to him.

"Team leader, you will know when you look down. After reading, I guarantee that your blood pressure will rise immediately!" Seeing the questioning look that the team leader threw in, Zhang Lin and the other two still had firm expressions.

"25 seconds 75!...25 seconds 61!...25 seconds 54!...24 seconds 11!..." Soon Yuan Jiawei realized the problem in these numbers. The training results recorded in this notebook are better and better every time, and then looking at the time recorded below, it was only one day apart.

"This...this..." Yuan Jiawei raised his head again and looked at Zhang Lin and the other two, with incredible faces, and Zhang Lin and others signaled him to continue watching. Yuan Jiawei, who felt his blood pressure was rising, had no patience to turn it down page by page, and suddenly turned to the last part of the notes.
