Chapter 230 Answer
This is not the first time Xu Hongtao has been to Cologne. He has visited Professor Bud's house twice, so this time he is familiar with the road. With him leading the way, Yuan Jiawei easily came to Li Tian's residence at the Cologne Sports Academy.
"At this is where Li Tian temporarily lives while studying in Germany, the home of Professor Bad, Vice Dean of the Cologne Sports Academy." In front of Professor Bad's apartment, the two stopped. Yuan Jiawei also specially sorted out his instrument, hoping to leave a good impression on Li Tian from the beginning.
"Let's go!" Seeing that Yuan Jiawei was ready, Xu Hongtao rang the doorbell of Professor Bard's house.
"Here's here!" The owner of the house was the owner of the house, Professor Bud, the college's vice president. What was very different from the previous image of a straight suit was that Professor Bud, who appeared in front of the two this time, wore a sleeve on his hand and an apron on his neck, and was obviously showing off his skills in the kitchen.
"Hello, Vice President Bud, I'm sorry to disturb you again!" Although I have only visited twice, Xu Hongtao still left a deep impression on Professor Bud, the elder, and he also respected him very much.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xu, please come in quickly. You are here at the right time. I will cook myself tonight, so you can try my skills." Professor Bud recognized at a glance that the young man in front of him was Li Tian's agent Xu Hongtao, so he enthusiastically invited the two of them into the house.
"Vice Dean Bad, is Li Tian at home now?" The three of them came to the living room to sit down. Professor Bad personally made tea for the two guests. Since the servants at home had something to do in the past few days, they had to do many things, such as making dinner, so the two saw what had just happened.
"What is this gentleman?" After seeing Yuan Jiawei sitting down, he immediately asked about Li Tian before he could even drink tea, which made Professor Bud look at Xu Hongtao in confusion.
"This is Mr. Yuan Jiawei. This time he came here from China to visit Xiaotian. I happened to meet him on the plane, so I brought him directly." Xu Hongtao explained.
"My name is Yuan Jiawei. I am currently the leader of the Chinese national swimming team. This time I came here to visit specifically to persuade Li Tian to join our swimming team." Yuan Jiawei did not hide his intentions, and his tone showed great firmness. When he got closer and closer to Li Tian, he felt more and more that if he could not successfully persuade him to join the swimming team, it would be his greatest regret in his life and it is also likely to be the biggest loss in the Chinese swimming industry.
"Xiaotian should be in the swimming pool now. The second stop of the Golden League is approaching. He has been training very hard recently and will basically not come back until 7 o'clock in the evening. If you go to the swimming pool now, you will be able to see him. I believe that when you come back, I will have a sumptuous dinner." Professor Bud admired Yuan Jiawei's frankness and told the two of them that Li Tian is now.
"Hey! Is Li Tian doing swimming training every day now?" Hearing Professor Bud's words, Yuan Jiawei's eyes lit up. As long as Li Tian is willing to come into contact with swimming, the greater the chance of convinced him.
"Swimming has always been a special training method for Xiaotian. After the last college swimming competition, he took the initiative to apply to join the college's swimming club. Now it's the summer of the school, and all the students have started to have a holiday. Xiaotian has more time to devote to training than usual. According to the training plan he has formulated himself, he usually practices in the track and field hall in the morning, and transfers to the swimming pool to exercise in the afternoon." Although Professor Bud is very busy, he knows Li Tian very clearly about every move, which shows his concern for Li Tian.
"So can I go to the swimming pool to see his training?" Hearing that Li Tian was in the swimming pool, Yuan Jiawei was extremely eager to see Li Tian's swimming training with his own eyes, even if it was just an auxiliary means for his track and field training.
"Of course, our college swimming pool is completely open to the public. Mr. Xu should know the place, so let him take you there!" Professor Bard understood Yuan Jiawei's urgent mood very well. Although he was only engaged in research, he definitely did not know anything about sports. At the college sports meeting a few days ago, he was very clear about the value contained in it.
Xu Hongtao and Yuan Jiawei did not care about the fatigue of the long-distance flight for more than ten hours. After putting their luggage, they successfully found the location of the school swimming pool based on Xu Hongtao's impression of the university campus.
"Come on... hurry up... pay attention to the consistency of the movements..." Although it is the time for the students to have a holiday, the entire campus is particularly deserted, but it is still lively in the swimming pool. When other students go home early to rest or travel outside the country, most of the members of the swimming club stay in the school for training, and among them are the star figure who has just joined the swimming team recently - Li Tian.
"Li Tian, pay attention to the posture of your arms when you paddled... The swing of your calf is too large... When I turned around, where did you hear the details you had just explained? Don't let me repeat the same words ten thousand times..." In the outermost lane of the 50-meter-long pool in the swimming pool, other players of the swimming club consciously left Li Tian specifically for Li Tian. The middle-aged German man who was "yelling" at Li Tian on the shore was the head coach of the swimming club, Mr. Elton.
"Look, Mr. Elton is yelling at Li Tian again. Xiaotian is really pitiful. He met the bull!" Even in the swimming team, there were many female team members with "love flooding". Seeing Mr. Elton with anger on his face constantly "roaring" at Li Tian, he couldn't help but look at Xiaotian with sympathetic eyes.
"You don't know this. Don't look at Coach Elton's fierceness towards Li Tian now, the coach actually likes him very much. When Andrew and Jack first joined our club, Coach Elton often pointed at them and scolded them. Now Andrew and Jack are the strongest among us. For those of us with average strength, Coach Elton may not even be interested in scolding people!" The "old male players" next to these girls explained the inside story to them.
"Don't look at Coach Elton's usual idleness. In fact, he was a famous coach of our German national swimming team in the past. However, due to his hot temper, he had a conflict with other coaches of the swimming team. He withdrew from the national team in anger. Later, our college hired him as the head coach of the swimming club. In the past ten years, our college's swimming program has been ahead of the German university community and has also provided several outstanding players to the national team. To a large extent, this is the credit of Coach Elton." Another senior brother also introduced the situation of the number one in the club to several junior sisters who have just joined the club.
Li Tian was indeed targeted by Coach Elton, who was known as the "popular Bulls" on the first day of joining the swimming club, and decided to guide him alone, so the scene just now came up. A player with excellent talent like Li Tian is the most attractive to a professional coach. Since he withdrew from the national team, he has trained several very powerful players in the academy, but in terms of swimming talent, he has never seen anyone better than Li Tian. Naturally, he has given Li Tian more "care" during training.
At this time, the club players who were busy with training did not notice that there were two black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese on the stands in the swimming pool, and both of them looked at Li Tian who was undergoing training.
"No, not bad! This coach is very skilled." Yuan Jiawei nodded and praised while looking at Li Tian swimming in the swimming pool. As a professional swimming event, Yuan Jiawei could see the changes of different Li Tian at a glance. Although it was only a few days apart, Li Tian's swimming skills are obviously much better than what he and the coaches saw in the video materials. Needless to say, this must be the credit of the coach next to him who kept shouting. And such a short time can improve a player's skills so quickly, which fully proves that the coach's coaching level is far from comparable to Zhang Lin and others.
Without the pressure of learning, Li Tian can devote 100% to training every day. According to the training plan he has formulated himself, the swimming training every afternoon will last from 15 o'clock to 18:30, a total of three and a half hours. The first two hours are to learn free swimming techniques with coach Elton, and the last one and a half hours are to conduct comprehensive water special training on physical fitness and strength. Facing the subsequent Golden League - Paris Station competition, Li Tian dared not slacken at all.
"Brother Xu, why are you here? When did you arrive?" When night fell, Li Tian finished today's training content and walked out of the swimming pool gate, he found that Xu Hongtao had already been waiting there, and a strange Chinese was following him.
"It's coming in the afternoon. I just watched your training in the stands. Come and I'll introduce you to one. This is Mr. Yuan Jiawei, the leader of the Chinese National Swimming Team." Xu Hongtao said with a smile.
"Hello, Li Tian, on behalf of the Chinese Swimming Team and the Chinese Swimming Association, I sincerely invite you to join our swimming team. The Chinese swimming world needs your strength, and we will give you another stage to display your talents." Yuan Jiawei said straight to the point.
"Okay, I accept your invitation!" Li Tian's readily answer made Yuan Jiawei and Xu Hongtao's minds suddenly froze. Yuan Jiawei even stuck a lot of persuasion reasons that had been thinking of in the past few days in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Xiaotian, have you considered it? This is a major turning point in your future life. You should think carefully and carefully. Don't just be urged on a whim!" Seeing that Li Tian agreed casually without thinking, Xu Hongtao quickly reminded him from the side.
"Brother Xu, don't worry. I have already thought it very clearly in the past two days. As a professional athlete, being able to win honor for his motherland is his greatest happiness and honor, and being needed by many people is his value. I don't know how much I can do, nor do I know what I can bring to China swimming, but I know it needs me now, and I have no reason to refuse such an invitation!" Li Tian's answer was very firm and determined. All he could do was to do was to do his best.
