Chapter 34
"Try not to expand the adverse effects as much as possible! We know what to do." Zhang and Wu both nodded and expressed.
"In this way, only Xiaotian will suffer a little loss. We cannot catch you with the person who framed you, but we can only try our best to investigate you in secret. And in the finals of the 10th National Games! You can't participate anymore, so don't bear the burden of thinking! You are still very young. If you want to make a breakthrough in the track and field industry in my country at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, you are the main force!" Director Fang explained to Li Tian.
"I won't be able to carry my thoughts, I will definitely work hard in the future competitions." Li Tian's affirmative answer made Director Fang very happy.
"Before I came, I told me that Xiaotian will be the young player trained in 2008. In the future, he can help him if conditions permit." Director Wu and Director Zhang were very happy after hearing this. This gain was much greater than loss.
On the fourth day of the Li Tian incident, Li Tian finally responded. Director Wu from Li Tian's coaching team held a press conference on behalf of Li Tianzhao. At the press conference, the specific reason why Li Tian withdrew from the competition was announced to the media present. It was because of viral food poisoning that caused physical discomfort, so he withdrew from the 5,000-meter race. Moreover, because Li Tian's illness was serious this time and caused great physical damage, he gave up the opportunity to participate in the "10th National Games" finals held in Nanjing in October. Li Tian also needed to take a long time to recuperate and adjust his physical condition. For this reason, the leaders of the Provincial Sports Bureau and experts from the Doping Testing Center of the General Administration of Sports of China conducted all examinations on Li Tian and confirmed that Li Tian could not take stimulants. Although the media still had many questions, they had to give up the idea of continuing to explore.
In this way, speculation about whether Li Tian was taking stimulants disappeared. The media turned to hype Li Tian’s inability to participate in the "10th Games" finals as big news, but the stimulant incident finally subsided.
After seeing off Director Fang's working group, Li Tian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to his home in City L. This regional trial tour had gains and losses, and was mixed with joy. What he gained was that Li Tian's strength was recognized and he also completed a feat of winning six gold medals, which also made him famous and the sports bureaus of the province and the city. What about the loss? Li Tian's inability to participate in the "10th Games" finals, which would definitely reduce the results achieved by the provincial and municipal teams in the competition, and he himself lost the opportunity to participate in the competition for exercise. Mr. Lu also specifically suggested to them that since Li Tian is still in the physical development stage, it is best not to do sports training during the 6 to 8 months of the drug effect impact period. This will have a half-year gap period, and the time required to recover.
Since he could not train, Li Tian planned to devote all his half year to his studies. After the summer vacation, he and Zhao Rong were about to go to high school. Although he had already used his spare time to finish all the courses in the first year of high school by himself, he still felt that the progress was not fast enough because he knew that in half a year his training competition would gradually become busy, and the time for learning would be reduced accordingly. So he planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to finish all the courses in high school, so that he would not have to worry about delaying the training and competitions in the future.
Becoming the best track and field athlete is his greatest dream, but getting into a good university is also his hope. However, Li Tian’s little wish to study quietly is difficult to realize. Due to the sensation caused by the selection competition, he has become a real celebrity. Every day, many reporters will come to his home to ask for interviews. It would be impossible not to accept it, otherwise they would dare to write anything. The last time the stimulant was like this. They are not afraid of you suing them, and they also want you to do this.
This matter can be hyped up again. Many of his admirers often gather outside his home. The enthusiasm of FANS also made him helpless. Some manufacturers even saw this opportunity and came to invite Li Tian as the spokesperson of his brand every few days. He was so annoyed that he was almost mentally broken, and he was still in the mood to study. He now really understood the pain of being a celebrity, and his life and study were all disrupted. I remember that when Song Mingyu first formally interviewed him, he was a little secretly proud!
"Xiaotian! Director Wu is here to see you, come out quickly!" Li Tian, who had dinner, went back to his room to study. Director Wu came at 8 o'clock in the evening. It has been ten days since he came back in the selection competition. Li Tian has never seen Director Wu and Coach Xiao and others. On weekdays, a large group of people are surrounding him. Now he can't see any of them and he feels a little lonely.
"Director Wu, you are here!" Li Tian was quite excited when he saw Director Wu.
"It took several days for the work in the bureau to get a free time to see you! How is your health?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a little nauseous from time to time. I can't sleep well at night. Mr. Lu said that these symptoms will take about three months to disappear. Now I can't even get anxious." Li Tian spread his hands helplessly and said.
"Xiaotian, have you ever thought about how to spend the next six months if you can't train? "
"I want to study hard. After all, my competitions and training will become busier and less and less time to study. I want to hurry up now. But this plan seems to be difficult to achieve now. Those reporters and merchants have made me unable to calm down to study my homework." Not only Li Tian himself, but also the normal life of the family was greatly affected, which made him very unhappy.
"Yes! The Chinese media is very scary. I don't know how many promising athletes have been ruined in their hands. They don't value facts and make a lot of hypes. Many excellent athletes have lost themselves, become arrogant and unpromising. Now the Chinese men's football team are the best examples. They have been raised by these media to become masters. Each of them is not very capable and have a bad temper. Let's take a look at what Liu Xiang has achieved since the last Olympics? He is praised by the media all day long, and he is always hiding and hiding the losses and is unwilling to admit the progress of his opponents. If his current state is not reversed, then in 2008, he will definitely be out of the way. No athlete can stand at the top forever without hard work. Xiaotian, do you know why I want to tell you this?"
"I know, you want to remind me that the media has already reported a lot of reports on me, and some of them are very exaggerated."
"Yes, the media has indeed overpromoted you. Although you have the first-class level in China and have extraordinary talents, you are still quite different from some of the world's top players. If you want to be one of the world's top players, you have to work harder. But you are still young and immature in your psychology, and you are easily influenced by these media, and this is what your coaches and I least want to see." Director Wu said earnestly.
"I can't do anything about it! I'm so annoyed by those media, but I can't hide from them all day long. And those businesses have made me unable to come to study at a young age." Li Tian said in a hurry.
"I know all of this. Your father has mentioned it to me a long time ago. It is indeed impossible to continue like this. I have been thinking about it these days until a friend of mine called me the day before yesterday, which finally made me think of it. I discussed it with several of your coaches, and they all thought it was the most suitable for you at the moment."
"What's the solution?" Li Tian couldn't wait to get rid of the reporters and businesses that gave him great headaches as soon as possible.
"Go abroad!" Director Wu looked at the reaction of Li Tian's family as soon as he said this.
"Going abroad? Director Wu, is this a little too early for Xiaotian? And he is still in the stage of physical adjustment and recovery. It is not appropriate to go abroad now, right?" Zhao Qingguo first raised the doubt.
"Where do you want Xiaotian to go? He has never lived abroad. I'm not sure that he is outside!" Zhou Ling also said.
"You all listen to me first. I have this idea not because I am so impatient, but because my coaches and I have thought about it seriously. Although Xiaotian is still young, his current level has far surpassed his peers. It is no exaggeration to say that he now represents the highest level of Chinese men's track and field, but this is also the highest level he can reach under the relatively backward training mode in China. If he wants to continue to make progress, he must learn from advanced foreign methods. At this time, it is the most appropriate time to go out to learn advanced foreign concepts and training methods. And this time, this time, for small people to go abroad.
