Tough Respond

"Mr. Liu Xiang, the world record of 12.91 seconds has been maintained for a full 13 years before. So how long do you think the record of 12.88 seconds can be maintained?" A French reporter immediately stood up after getting the opportunity to ask a question. The men's 110-meter hurdles are also the advantageous event of the French team. The World Championship champion Doo Curry is Liu Xiang's strongest opponent on the field, so he naturally pays special attention to Liu Xiang's shot.

"The reason why the record was created was to be broken again for people to break again. There are many very outstanding players on the men's 110-meter hurdles. Everyone's current competition is very fierce, which directly stimulates the generation of good results. So even if this record is broken in tomorrow's game, I won't feel surprised at all, but I hope the person who broke the record is me, haha..." Liu Xiang's answer also caused a kind laugh from the reporters on the scene.

"Mr. Li Tian, ​​what do you think about Gatlin being involved in the doping scandal and being banned for life by the IAAF?" After asking several questions from Liu Xiang in succession, the reporter finally turned his "spellhead" to Li Tian next to him.

"I just learned this news, and it gave me a sudden feeling. I don't know the specific situation very well. But Gatlin is indeed a very outstanding sprinter and one of my strongest competitors. I have always been looking forward to competing with him on the 100-meter track for a long time in the future. If he is punished by the IAAF for life ban, then I will regret to lose a real opponent. Of course, I believe that the International Anti-Doping Agency will handle this incident fairly and will give us a real answer soon." Li Tian knew that it was not suitable to express his opinion on such a sensitive question, so he dealt with the past very well.

"Player Li Tian, ​​have you ever considered that if Gatlin is suspended for life, you will become the new king on the 100-meter track? Powell has performed publicly not long ago. In future competitions, he will prove that he is the world's number one man in the 100-meter world today!"

"When I was in contact with track and field training on the first day, becoming the world's number one became my goal. This goal will not change because of the participation or withdrawal of an opponent, and I never doubt that I have the ability to achieve this goal. I believe that every athlete standing on the field will have such an idea. If Powell wants to prove that he is the world's number one flying man, it's very simple. He has to defeat me first in the game, but I will not give him this opportunity easily!" Li Tian did not agree with Powell's crazy words. Although he won the championship in the last two Golden League games and was in high morale, Li Tian is confident that he will become a "supporting role" again in tomorrow's game.

"Asian track and field has always been weak in short-distance events, but its performance in the past two years has improved by leaps and bounds. Many people are doubting the authenticity of the results and thinking that they may have taken some kind of stimulant that cannot be found. What do you think of this problem by Li Tian? A Japanese reporter from Asahi Shimbun stood up and said with a smirk on his face. His words immediately made the reporters off the court confused, many people were talking in a low voice, and Chinese reporters even shouted loudly.

The Asian track and field industry can reach the world's top players in short-distance events, which is self-evident for everyone. It is difficult to find a third person besides the two Chinese players sitting on the stage. Such questions from Japanese journalists are undoubtedly a provocation to Chinese athletes. A discerning person can see clearly what he is hinting at a glance. How can this unfounded and unreasonable guess not make the Chinese journalists present angry?

"You are a local Japanese reporter!" Li Tian and Liu Xiang looked at each other and asked in English calmly.

"I am Tian Nakaichiro, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun." The pronunciation of Japanese journalists is very unstandard. No wonder someone once said that Japanese English is the most difficult to understand in the world. Now Li Tian finally has an understanding.

"I don't know where reporter Tian Zhong heard these words from, and who are these 'many people' referring to, on the contrary, I have never heard such remarks!" Since the other party dared to come forward so blatantly and provoke, with Li Tian's personality, he would naturally give a tough counterattack without hesitation. It was a daydream to bully his youth.

"Japan has always claimed that it is far superior to China in the research level of modern medicine and pharmacy, and ranks at the top of the world. Moreover, from the history of Japanese athletes taking stimulants, it is much longer than other Asian countries such as China. This means that the external conditions for Japanese players to use stimulants are much more "than" than those of our other Asian countries. If there is really such a special stimulant, then Japanese players must have used it long ago. I remember that before I broke the Asian sprint record, the Asian records of men of 100 meters and 200 meters were maintained by Japanese players. So is it necessary for us to question the fairness of these results now?" Li Tian's answer left Tian Nakaichiro speechless, and the faces of the Japanese reporters were very ugly.

"Okay, well said!" Li Tian's answer won unanimous praise from a large number of Chinese journalists at the scene. Even reporters from other countries could not help but secretly give a thumbs up for the 16-year-old Chinese boy's agile thinking and sharp words. This kind of demeanor of a general who is calm in the face of change is not something that anyone can have.

"I also want to point out that both myself and the entire Chinese sports community are firm supporters of the International Anti-Doping Organization. Every Chinese player will strictly abide by the doping testing system in accordance with the regulations of the International Athletics Federation. Moreover, the ban cases investigated and dealt with by China every year are far below the international average. Therefore, I absolutely cannot tolerate those people using unreasonable speculation and unfounded doubts to tarnish the good reputation of Chinese sports and my own personal honor. Therefore, I personally decided that I will not accept any form of interviews in the Asahi Shimbun in the future!" The tough attitude shown by Li Tian surprised all the reporters present.

"I also reject all interviews in the future of Asahi Shimbun!" Liu Xiang, who was beside Li Tian, ​​immediately made his own decision, and there was an uproar on the court. The Japanese reporter named Tian Nakaichiro regretted it at this moment and his face turned green. The provocation with a fever for a moment was not only caused by Li Tian's tough counterattack, which made him lose face, but also made the two most popular Asian players in this competition refuse to accept an interview with Asahi Shimbun. If the president of the newspaper knew about this situation, he would definitely throw himself down from the top floor of the 30th floor.

With such an episode, the meeting ended quickly. Although there were not many materials for the interview, the Chinese reporters who attended were very satisfied. The tough attitude of the two Chinese players to fight back against the provocation of Japanese reporters made them extremely excited. That afternoon, almost all the Chinese media accompanying the meeting returned to the country in detail, and the two won countless cheers from domestic sports fans. And because Li Tianyi was contrary to his usual modesty, many reporters saw his sharp words. In the subsequent interviews, no one dared to underestimate him because of his young age.

At the same time, Osaka Itami Airport, another international airport in Osaka, welcomed its other group of guests. The fifteen American players and other relevant personnel who participated in this Super Grand Prix arrived in Osaka on the same plane. Among these people, eleven world champions including Green, Jeremy Warriorner, Alan Johnson, etc., were strong in line.

"Mr. Warrina, China's Li Tian will also participate in the men's 400m competition this time. What do you think about this? Do you feel the pressure?" Jeremy Warrina was surrounded by many Chinese journalists who had been waiting here just after leaving the airport lobby. In the men's 400m event, the dispute between Li Tian and Warrina, two "sex brothers" is one of the most concerned highlights of Chinese audiences. Naturally, the Chinese media gave special attention to this 400m king.

"I have watched Li Tian's game. He is an excellent player, but I don't feel any special pressure because of his participation. As long as I perform at my normal level, the championship will be mine. I have the confidence to continue my winning streak." As a favorite student of Coach Hart, Warrina learned a lot about Li Tian from the coach. Although Coach Hart repeatedly emphasized Li Tian's terribleness in the 400-meter event, Warrina, who has not tasted the taste of failure in two years, has already established absolute confidence in the winning streak that he can't even remember how many times he has won.

"Li Tian and Jeremy have a chance, and the other people's level is not on the same level as them. The champion will be between them!" Only the internationally renowned gold medal coach, Coach Hart, dared to draw such a conclusion. This time, in order to watch the first showdown between the two proud disciples, he followed him to Osaka. When asked by Chinese reporters about the final victory or defeat of the game, he replied.

"So, as you see, which of the two has the better chance of winning this time?" Chinese reporters were still dissatisfied with the answer just now, and asked Coach Hart tightly.
