Chapter 245 Challenge within the team

A full week after returning to China, accompanied by his agent Xu Hongtao, Li Tian once again stepped into the China Swimming Training Center, the residence of the China National Swimming Training Team. The last time he returned to China to participate in the World Track and Field Youth Championships, he had come here to train, and he met two friends Zhang Lin and Wu Peng here, so Li Tian is not unfamiliar with the environment here.

"Here you come!" When Li Tian and Xu Hongtao both walked into the center gate, everyone who came to greet him suddenly lit up. The protagonist, who had been waiting for for a long time, finally appeared.

"Welcome, welcome! Xiaotian, you let us all wait!" The "linear" that came to welcome was quite large. In addition to the team leader Yuan Jiawei who came first, there were more than a dozen other personnel behind him, including Zhang Lin, Wu Peng and Ouyang Kunpeng.

"Hello, the former leader! Li Tian is here to report!" Li Tian also knew that the team was waiting in a hurry. Yesterday, he called Xu Hongtao seven or eight times to learn about his situation. He only stopped after receiving the reply he reported to the team today.

"It's good to come, it's good to come. Let me introduce to you the main leaders and coaches in the team!" Yuan Jiawei excitedly pulled Li Tian to everyone and introduced him one by one. Only then did Li Tian realize that almost all the "big people" in the national swimming team gathered here. The man in his fifties and slightly fat was Sun Siming, vice chairman of the China Swimming Association. Beside him were Zhao Ge, the head coach of the Chinese swimming team, and Zhang Yadong, the other famous coaches in the coaching team. Zhang Lin and three others could only stay at the end as representatives of the team.

"The young man is very good. I hope you can perform as well in the swimming team as you are in the track and field field. We all have high expectations for you, and look forward to you to win new honors for the Chinese swimming industry!" Sun Siming showed no sign of leadership, and patted Li Tian's shoulders kindly and encouraged. Since he decided to recruit Li Tian, ​​Sun Siming has tried every means to dig up some of the inside stories of Li Tian's background through his own relationship, and quickly confirmed some of the related rumors he had heard before, so he came to welcome Li Tian into the team early in the morning.

"Thank you Chairman Sun for your praise and trust. I will do my best to continuously improve my swimming level in this month and strive to live up to everyone's expectations in the competition." Since Li Tian became famous, leaders of all sizes have seen many leaders, so naturally they are not as reserved as ordinary players, and they answered very calmly.

"That's good. During this period, you can train here with peace of mind. The swimming team will provide everything you need as much as possible and guide you by several of the best coaches. Lao Yuan, Lao Zhao, and Xiao Tian will be given all of it to you now. I hope to see exciting results in a month." Sun Siming explained to Yuan Jiawei and Zhao Ge, the two main persons in charge of the swimming team.

"Please rest assured, leader, we guarantee that you can see a Li Tian who has been reborn in the swimming pool in a month!" Zhao Ge, as the head coach of the Chinese national swimming team, has the best level of his own, and the coaches of the coaching staff have already formulated a detailed training plan, so he naturally dared to pat his chest and promise.

"We have nothing to worry about with your words!" Sun Siming, as the vice chairman of the Swimming Association, was naturally busy with work. He took time to welcome a team member to join the team, which had never been before. After repeatedly explaining to everyone, he hurriedly left the training center with his assistant.

"Lao Yuan, you can arrange accommodation for Xiaotian first, and take him to familiarize himself with the environment of the training center, and start training in the afternoon. Xiaotian, you have no problem. If you have any difficulties, just ask me!" No matter what kind of coach he is, facing a talented and talented player, he can't hide his love in his heart. Zhao Ge, who has always had a cold expression, was extremely kind at this time.

"I have no problem. I follow the arrangements of all the coaches!" Li Tian knew that he could only be considered a rookie in swimming. Although his personal strength is not bad now, he is not as familiar with training methods as track and field.

"Chief, let Xiaotian live with me. Xiaoli's bed is still empty now. Xiaotian comes and happens to have a companion with me." Wu Peng used to be in the same dormitory as Liu Li, and Liu Li withdrew from the national team after the car accident, so Wu Peng has been living alone during this period.

"That's good. Wu Peng is an old team member. You can take care of Xiaotian more. Xiaotian can also be more easily integrated into the training and life of the swimming team." Wu Peng's proposal was also recognized by Yuan Jiawei. After all, in the swimming team, Li Tian is only familiar with Wu Peng and has a look after him. Although Li Tian does have great potential in swimming events, according to his personal observation, there are still many people in the team who are still dissatisfied with the "easy" recruiting him into the national team by the Chinese Swimming Association.

"Old Ye, where did the coaches go today, but they didn't see many? Even Lao Zhao couldn't see his figure. He was the first to arrive!" In the swimming pool of the training center, several male team members who were preparing to start training gathered together. One of the team members couldn't help but ask in wonder.

"Hmph, what else can I do? I'll go to greet that Li Tian!" Ye Zhenghang said with an unhappy look, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Tian joining the swimming team.

"Oh! Did that Li Tian finally come? I heard that he had returned to China long ago, but he was not here to report to the team. But does a newcomer need so many coaches to welcome him together?" said another team member next to him.

"It's not just the coach. I heard that even Vice Chairman Sun of the Swimming Association came here in person this morning. Their face was not ordinary. When I came to report, only the old man at the gate looked at me." Qian Bin was also a young player who was just selected for the national team a few months ago. He was full of envy of Li Tian's advanced treatment.

"What's the use of envy? They are now the darling of the entire Chinese sports world. If you have the ability, you want others to come back with a few world champions. My guarantee brothers all come to the gate to welcome you!" The teammates around him said to Qian Bin.

"Tsk! I admit that he has achieved his achievements in track and field, we are indeed not qualified to compare with him, but now it is a swimming team, and I will never admit that I will be inferior to him in swimming." Ye Zhenghang said very dissatisfied. No wonder he had such a big opinion on Li Tian joining the swimming team, because Ye Zhenghang is a relatively powerful player in the swimming team. Originally, after Liu Li withdrew from the national team due to a car accident, he was the most promising candidate to replace Liu Li in the swimming relay team. This is not only the view of many teammates and coaches, but he himself also thinks that being selected for the relay team is a sure thing, but in the end, an accident happened. Wu Peng and the other two were from

After Germany came back, it actually brought another candidate to the coaching team. This candidate was Li Tian, ​​a famous track and field player who had never had any relationship with swimming events. What made Ye Zhenghang even more incomprehensible was that the Swimming Association and the national team coaching team quickly passed the decision to recruit Li Tian and replaced Liu Li with the vacancy left in the relay team after withdrawing from the national team. This made Ye Zhenghang, who once boasted to his teammates, suddenly was in a very awkward position. Young people all have good face, not to mention that those who can enter the national team are all the best in the national swimming industry. They were "robbed" by an outsider. Ye Zhenghang of course was extremely dissatisfied.

"That's right, I have never seen how powerful he is in the newspaper. He is aware of his hearing and aware of his seeing. He has the ability to compete with me here. If he can win me, I will only be convinced!" In addition to Wu Peng and three others in the swimming team, only the coaches of the coaching team have watched the video of Li Tian's game. The other players only have a rough understanding of Li Tian's level through relevant newspaper reports. However, the simple text reports in the newspaper cannot convince these swimmers. There are adults who are not convinced by Li Tian's easy selection in the relay team.

In the morning, Li Tian settled his residence under the arrangement of team leader Yuan Jiawei, and carefully understood and visited various facilities in the entire training center, and had a full understanding of the entire environment.

"How was Xiaotian's visit in the morning? Our training center is pretty good!" At around 12 noon, the entire swimming team's training ended, and Wu Peng took Zhang Lin and Ouyang Kunpeng back to his dormitory as soon as possible.

"You are all here. I'm here for the first time and I'll rely on the three brothers to take care of you in the future. The 100-pound pounds on your body are considered to be in your hands!" Seeing Wu Peng and the other two coming in, Li Tian smiled.

"We'll do this with us! Let's go and have lunch together first. Your training task will be quite light in the afternoon!" The three of them were all "boss" figures in the team, and they also vaguely understood some of the training plans formulated by the coaching team for Li Tian.

"Then let's go, I'm already hungry!" The four of them walked towards the cafeteria shoulder to shoulder.

"Hey, look over there!" When Li Tian followed Wu Peng and the others into the cafeteria, there were already many team members gathered here, and they couldn't help but whisper when they saw their appearance.

"Wow! It's really Li Tian. This is the first time I have seen a real person. I have wanted a photo of him signed." Although it was in the national swimming team, Li Tian still has no shortage of FANS.

"I'm really looking forward to how he will perform in the afternoon. The newspapers made him so amazing. Whether he has real skills will be clear at a glance."

As soon as Li Tian entered the cafeteria, he felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him. This feeling was encountered when he first joined the national track and field youth team. However, now he has experienced many international competitions baptisms and no longer cared about it. He exuded a kind of confidence and calm temperament unique to a "world-class celebrity". At this point, even Wu Peng and the other two around him cannot compare with him.

"Oh, isn't this Li Tian, ​​our famous young track and field champion? You shouldn't be used to the simple food in our swimming team!" It was Ye Zhenghang who spoke. As soon as he entered the cafeteria, he noticed Li Tian, ​​so he deliberately leaned over.

"Nothing, the food here is pretty good!" The swimming team serves standard nutritious meals, which are not much different from those Li Tianping eats, so Li Tian did not ask for a change in the recipe like he did in the track and field team.

"I really hope your strength will be as good as your appetite, but the swimming pool is not as good as a track and field track! It would be bad if you lose your face as the No. 1 Asian sporter." Ye Zhenghang was planning to come up to provoke, so he sarcastically said again.

"Old Ye, don't make trouble here. You know Coach Zhao's style. You are never ruthless to those who make trouble. You want to try it!" Wu Peng said with a serious look on the side. Although he is much younger than Ye Zhenghang, as the "No. 1" of the swimming team, what he said is still very substantial. Move out.

"We don't have to use Lao Zhao to suppress others. We just don't accept his special treatment. If you have the ability, he will compete with Brother Ye in a dignified manner. If you have the ability, you will show your skills in front of everyone!" The young man was impulsive. Qian Bin had just joined the team and had no scruples, so he clamored from the side.

"You..." Seeing the other party making such an unreasonable fuss and not giving him face, Wu Peng immediately wanted to get angry, but was stopped by a hand that Li Tian stretched out.

"I know some of you have opinions about my selection in the national team, but I can get here by my own strength. Whoever you are not convinced can give you a chance, but I hope that such a competition will not affect the internal unity of the swimming team!" Li Tian has never been a person who is afraid of trouble. In the track and field, even world superstars like Green and Gatlin dare to directly challenge them, let alone the unknown people in front of him who intend to give the most direct response to provoking Li Tian.

"The afternoon training starts at 2:30. I will wait for you in the swimming pool at 2:00. If anyone wants to have a chance to play with me, I am happy to accompany you!" Li Tian said after looking at Ye Zhenghang and the others indifferently.

"Okay, I'll teach you on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon!" Ye, Qian and others did not expect Li Tian to be so tough, but the result was just as they wished. After giving it a message, he walked away.

"Xiaotian, how could you agree to them casually! Do you know that Coach Zhao hates such things the most? If he knows it, it will be troublesome!" Wu Peng and others couldn't help but worry.

"Then what else can I do? I hate this kind of mother-in-law and mother. This method is the most direct. You don't have to worry about Coach Zhao. He won't do anything to me." In competitive sports, the strong are always respected. If you want others to convince, the effective way is to show your own strength to make others recognize you.

"Well, but Xiaotian, are you sure? Ye Zhenghang is still very capable in the short-distance freestyle event!" Since Li Tian had made the decision, the three of them didn't say anything more. Zhang Lin was more concerned about the results in the afternoon.

"Although I don't know how strong they are, I have not spent this period of time in vain. I'll let you see how much I have improved in the afternoon!" The flashing confidence in Li Tian's eyes immediately reassured the three friends.
