The Double Dragon Meeting

"So you kid is still having such a ghost idea! Okay, next year's World Championships, we are going to Japan to help you. I haven't been walking around at the "friendly neighbor" next to you for a long time. I hope you kid can stage a few more wonderful shows for us by then, haha..." Secretary-General Lou Xiaopeng, who came to his senses, laughed happily.

"My grandfather used to be the old Red Army. Carrying guns to attack the Japanese have always been the thing he is most proud of. Back then, they threw the Japanese 'other flag' out of China. Unfortunately, until he passed away, he didn't have the chance to go to the Japanese he defeated to show the prestige of Chinese soldiers. Now I want to do something that makes him proud." Li Tianzai was proud of his decision, and believed that grandfather would be extremely pleased to see his Chinese show in Japan in heaven.

"Xiaotian, it's a good thing for you to be confident, but don't underestimate the enemy! Although Gatlin cannot participate in the competition and your hope of winning the championship has increased greatly, Powell and Green are both strong players that cannot be ignored. You know the situation of Jeremy Warriorna in 400 meters, he has not lost for two consecutive years."

"I know, I won't take it lightly. This 400m race is worth looking forward to. I will take this opportunity to measure the strength of another 400m king after Michael Johnson!" Coach Hart once gave Li Tian a high evaluation.

As the gold medal coach who once guided Li Tian and Jeremy, Coach Hart knew very well that Li Tian had unique talents in the 400-meter event. With his excellent physical fitness that was far beyond ordinary people, the world's top short-distance sprint ability, and amazing speed and endurance, he had the strength to compete for the "throne" on the 400-meter track. Jeremy Warriorner is also a rare genius in the American track and field industry in ten years. Needless to say, his strength is strong, the competition between the two is definitely a battle.

In the next two days, Li Tian returned to the track and field training center for simple adjustment training. Although he had not been on the track for more than a month, Li Tian felt that he was still in good condition when he returned to the track and field, and his desire for the competition was even more unabated than before. Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth progress of Li Tian's journey, the Athletics Association specially selected Coach Xiao, one of Li Tian's track and field enlightenment mentors, accompanied him to Japan. The entourage also included a professional physiotherapist of the national track and field team and a Japanese translator.

The morning before the Osaka Track and Field Super Grand Prix, with the farewell of many media reporters and track and field fans, Li Tian and two other national teammates Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng who participated in the competition boarded the flight to Osaka together.

"Hello Liu Xiang, I've been a teammate for such a long time. This is the first time we have met. Congratulations on breaking the world record last time!" In the cabin, in the seat next to Li Tian was another ace card from the Chinese track and field team. The two leading Chinese track and field figures sat face to face for the first time.

"Hello Li Tian, ​​I have also admired you for a long time. I never expected that you not only excelled in the track and field, but also had great talent in swimming. It's really amazing!" Liu Xiang held his hands tightly with Li Tian very readily.

Perhaps they are both geniuses who became famous at a young age. They have similar experiences. They are also top figures in the world's track and field world. After talking, they suddenly felt that they met too late. One competition has rich experience and a deep understanding of domestic training methods. The other has been studying abroad for many years and has been fortunate to learn from the most famous track and field gold medal coach in the international field. They know very well about various advanced training methods abroad. As the two of them communicate with each other, the more they talk, the more they become more and more speculative, and each feels very rewarding. Even Shi Dongpeng, who was sitting aside, nodded from time to time, as if he had something to do.

Insight. The Chinese sports industry lacks such communication. Whether it is a contestant or a coach, they always close themselves in a relatively self-centered space, so they cannot learn from the successful experiences of others to enrich themselves. The facts have long proved that working behind closed doors will only make the gap between China's track and field and the world's leading level. Learning foreign advanced technologies and training methods is not simple and completely "plagiarized". Choose a method that suits your characteristics to make up for the shortcomings of your own training methods and to perfectly establish your own training system. This is the right way for Chinese players to take.

"Xiaotian, the conversation with you is really pleasant, and it is even more eye-catching! If you don't mind, you can move to my room after you arrive at the hotel, so that we have more opportunities to share our experiences. What do you think?" Liu Xiang knew that Li Tian had learned from a master figure like Coach Hart, and Li Tian introduced him to him a systematic and novel training method such as electric stimulation strength training, swimming body ability training, nerve rapid response and coordination training, etc. He only saw it in various professional sports books and magazines. The only person who has such training experience in China is Li Tian. If Liu Xiang can understand these special training methods in detail, it is very likely to be of great help to his future improvement.

"Of course I'm asking for it. I still have many questions to ask you for advice!" Liu Xiang's proposal hit it off with Li Tian's idea. There are indeed many friends around Li Tian, ​​but people like Watel, Cademan and others themselves lack experience in international competitions; and although they know Green and others, they can have some communication, they will naturally retain their competitors. Therefore, Li Tian needs a friend with rich experience in competitions and no conflicts of interest, and exchange opinions and opinions on problems encountered in the competition and training process. Liu Xiang is undoubtedly a good candidate.

After nearly three hours of pleasant conversation, the flight everyone took landed on time at Kansai Airport in Osaka. As the two most famous "flying people" in the track and field industry in Asia, the arrival of Li Tian and Liu Xiang will certainly attract the attention of Japanese media and other foreign journalists. In addition, the Chinese media reporters who followed him, hundreds of journalists have gathered outside the airport. Of course, many Japanese track and field fans are indispensable. Even in Japan, Li Tian and Liu Xiang have many supporters.

"Get out of the way, please get out of the way..." Eight strong Japanese policemen blocked the peripheral reporters and sports fans out after Li Tian and his group walked out of the airport passage, and tried hard to open up a path for everyone to move forward in the crowd.

"It seems that we are quite well-known here too!" Looking at the crowded crowded from all directions, Li Tian chuckled and said to Liu Xiang beside him.

"Of course I have a reputation. I am the defending champion of this competition. I have never lost here. As long as I can win this time, I will complete three consecutive championships! Others say this is my blessed land, and I feel that every time I compete here, I feel that I am very excited." Liu Xiang said proudly.

"I can understand that in Japanese local competitions, if any Chinese player doesn't use his strength to fight, I'm really sorry for the national team uniform on his body!" Li Tian pointed to the small national flag printed on the chest of his team uniform and said.

Li Tian, ​​Liu Xiang and his group did not accept any interviews. After boarding the bus arranged by the event organizing committee, they drove directly to the Osaka International Hotel, the location of the contestants, who participated in the competition. They divided the rooms and took a brief rest for a while before lunch time. At two o'clock in the afternoon, there was a media meeting specially arranged by the organizing committee for the two. After the half-hour media meeting, the two can go to the Osaka Nagai Track and Field, the main venue of the competition, for training to adapt to the venue. Although the time is very compact, fortunately, China only wants to be separated by one hour from here, so the first thing they do when they return to the hotel is to climb onto the bed and make the jet lag.

"Li Tian, ​​Liu Xiang, it is very likely that Japanese reporters will make things difficult for you later, so you should be smarter when answering reporters' questions. Do you understand?" An Athletics Association official who accompanied him explained before the two were about to attend the media meeting.

"Director Xu, don't worry, it's just dealing with a few Japanese. It's no big deal. If I get into trouble at that time, I will let them humiliate themselves." The two of them are no longer "Brother Chu" who deals with this kind of scene, and they have their own way to deal with it.

"It's good, but be careful!" Director Xu knew very well that Li Tian had no favoritism for Japan, for fear that he would make some big noise on impulse.

In a not-so-large press conference hall, Li Tian and Liu Xiang sat upright on the rostrum, while they were sitting next to them with translators. More than 200 reporters from all over the place were already impatient. After finally waiting for the host to make some polite comments, everyone in the audience immediately regained their vitality.

"Mr. Liu Xiang, you just broke the world record of the men's 110-meter hurdles, and the first two Osaka Grand Prix also won the championship. So is your goal in this competition locked in three consecutive championships?" As the Olympic champion who just broke the world record, Liu Xiang was very popular at this time, and a Japanese reporter stood up first.
Chapter completed!
