"Coach, you're not going to say yes, are you?"

Boarding the plane that flew back to China at Haneda Airport, Su Zu and Liu Yangyu glanced at each other, then looked at the expressions of Li Zhizhong and Sun Pingjiang, and asked with a smile.

Two middle-aged people in their forties, talking and laughing all the way, talking about their training experience, talking about famous generals from all walks of life at home and abroad, pointing out the country, they have no previous calmness at all, and they have a feeling of raising their eyebrows and puffing up when they speak.

As Su Zu's grades have risen and he has become a world-class sports star, Li Zhizhong has also been respected by his peers from all over the world, and various interview invitations have flown like snowflakes.

Especially yesterday, Su Zu ran a time of 9.89 seconds, broke the Asian record again, and won the Olympic champion Gatlin.

Compared with Su Zu's identity as an athlete, Li Zhizhong is greatly favored by the Japanese sports community.

At noon today, when the Japanese Athletics Association hosted a banquet for the members of the Chinese track and field team, the relevant personnel of the Japanese Athletics Association also sent an invitation to Li Zhizhong, hoping that he would be able to give a lecture in Japan next year. Of course, if you are willing to be hired or naturalized, people will raise their hands and feet in favor and welcome, and the treatment will be discussed casually.

In fact, this is not the first time, after the Athens Olympics, including the United States, Europe, Xinjiapo and other countries have had personnel to contact Li Zhizhong. A sports genius will be valued and praised, and similarly, a coach who can select and cultivate such a sports genius also has his merits.

The documentary "A Day of the Champion", Antan's advertisement, and the story of the experience of Su Zu and Li Zhizhong, the master and apprentice, have already been reported on the Internet and in newspapers.

Su Zu was able to become today's Olympic champion from a rural boy in January, during which he helped many people from all walks of life, but in the end it was in the hands of Li Zhizhong that he achieved brilliance. Many tabloids even described it as "discerning talents and selecting heroes from recklessness".

"What nonsense?" Li Zhizhong turned around and scolded with a smile, "Even if I am willing to accept their invitation, this is also a major event in the exchange of the track and field associations of the two countries, and I still need to communicate with the track and field associations." ”

"That's right. If the two of us dare to say yes privately, it will be a big problem. Coach Sun Pingjiang also replied with a smile on the side, he also received an invitation from the Japanese side at the banquet of the Japanese Athletics Association at noon.

It is a joy to be recognized and invited by the sports circles of other countries to recognize their coaching ability.

The results of the coaches come from the athletes, and the achievements of Su Zu and Liu Yangyu have made their two coaches famous in the world of athletics.

In the first class cabin of the plane, after Su Zu and Liu Yangyu signed several flight attendants one after another, soon, at about eight o'clock in the evening, the plane landed in the magic capital.

Go through customs, go through security.

Liu Yangyu and Coach Sun, as well as several other athletes who participated in the Yokohama All-Star Game, did not leave the station, but went directly to the domestic platform through the VIP channel, and directly transferred to Luzhou. Compete in the last major event of the season, the National Track and Field Championships and Grand Prix Finals.

"Coach, I'll go to Luzhou tomorrow." Su Zu pulled the suitcase and discussed with Li Zhizhong.

"You're going to Luzhou tomorrow?" Li Zhizhong was puzzled for a moment, this year's track and field Grand Prix had already been abandoned, and then he remembered something, glanced at Su Zu, and asked, "It's Shen Yunbao, right?" ”

"Well, his last big game."

Su Zu nodded, he did not participate in all of this year's track and field Grand Prix, and naturally did not participate in the National Track and Field Championships this time, but he will still go to Luzhou tomorrow, but this time not as a participant, but as a spectator.

In the 2004 National Athletics Grand Prix, the first two stations were held in April, the capital of Guizhou Province and the scenic city of the world, and the other two stations were held in the imperial capital in July and Jinmen on August 1.

The final leg of the National Track and Field Championships and Grand Prix Finals was held in Luzhou.

This year, due to the absence of Su Zu, Chen Jian and Yang Guangzong, Shen Yunbao has won three men's 100-meter championships and two 200-meter championships with him, and is only short of the last national track and field Grand Prix championship in Luzhou.

Su Zu was going to Luzhou this time to watch Shen Yunbao's last track and field finals, and after this game, Shen Yunbao officially announced his retirement.

Having just witnessed Fredericks' farewell at the All-Star Game, and then watching his teammate's last game before retiring, the mood was somewhat heavy.

"Let's go together." Li Zhizhong sighed lightly, thought about it, and was unwilling to continue on this topic, but talked about the schedule, "But the day after tomorrow, I have to go to Singapore to participate in the Asian Track and Field All-Star Race, and the time is still relatively tight." ”

"Do I still have to run this Asian Athletics All-Star Game in Singapore?" Su Zu knew that this Asian All-Star Game had not been around for a few days, and Li Zhizhong had mentioned it once.

"It's good to go through the motions, and there are some public welfare activities at the opening ceremony, and the most important thing is that we are going to receive the award." Li Zhizhong said nonchalantly, "The Asian Track and Field Outstanding Contribution Award can be won by Asian track and field athletes who can win Olympic gold medals." ”

The Asian Athletics All-Star Event, which began on September 28, saw more than 100 Asian athletes participate. Su Zu was naturally invited, and in addition to him, Liu Yangyu and Olympic women's 10,000-meter champion Xing Huina will also participate.

"But ......," Li Zhizhong continued, "if you want to run, you can qualify, and the prize money for the individual champion is 2,000 US dollars." If the world record is broken, it will be a prize of $50,000. ”

"Forget it." Su Zu thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any opinion on participating in the competition. However, the Asian Track and Field All-Star Race is all Asian athletes, and there must be no masters in the sprint event, so he doesn't join in the fun. Accept the award well.

As for breaking the world record, he is now facing a big gap between the world records in the men's 100m and 200m events, so he naturally gives up.

"Coach, what's the next arrangement, winter training is about to start."

After coming back from Athens, Su Zu deeply felt that time had become particularly urgent, almost all of them were activities one after another, and not to mention advertisements and the like, there were already several in negotiation, both domestic and foreign.

He is actually a little anxious in his heart, so he can't play anymore, even if his personal state can be maintained, but he still needs a lot of time to train, obtain potential points, and improve various quality attributes.

Endurance quality, flexibility quality, and reaction quality, these have been stagnant for too long, and he urgently needs to improve further, and time is running out.

"I'm applying for winter training, and I'll have to wait until next month."

While the two of them were saying this, they didn't notice for a moment that many travelers around them were looking at them.

Walking all the way to the airport's pick-up hall, I realized that something was wrong.

There are a lot of people outside the pick-up hall, and it is congested.

At first, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong didn't feel anything at first, and as soon as they walked out, a burst of enthusiastic cheers rang out from the crowd.

Su Zu was startled by the scene in front of him, raised his eyes and looked over, only to find that the dense crowd outside the pick-up hall had come to pick him up, holding banners and flowers, and he couldn't count how many people there were at a glance.

As soon as Su Zu appeared, the crowd in the pick-up hall suddenly burst into great enthusiasm, and various voices came from all directions.

"Su Zu, Su Zu ......"

"Su Zu, I want to fly with you!"

"Su Zu, hurry up and come to my sister's place, haha......"

"Champion, Su Zu, good job!"

"Champion, champion!"

……

Su Zu looked at the crowd in the pick-up hall and was stunned all of a sudden, many people pounced on him as soon as they saw him, and there were many media reporters mixed in the crowd, waving small objects such as glow sticks and magnesium lights flickering, and some girls even babbled and screamed.

"What's going on?" Li Zhizhong was also dumbfounded next to him, the two masters and apprentices encountered such a fanatical atmosphere for the first time at the airport.

The last time I was besieged, it was after the Antan advertisement was broadcast, and it appeared during the Olympic trials. However, it was a special situation, and it was normal for the audience to have this enthusiasm, and now it was suddenly encountered at the airport.

Almost as soon as Su Zu appeared, the crowd in the pick-up hall began to stir and crowded towards him frantically.

At first, the two masters and apprentices could barely parry, Li Zhizhong helped Su Zu block some people, Su Zu grabbed a pen and paper to sign people, but gradually more and more people came up, and there was almost no way to deal with it.

In the end, under the signal of Li Zhizhong's eyes, Su Zu quickly twisted his body, and hurriedly ran back to the security check at the international exit of the airport again, and hid.

"Am I so popular?" Su Zu himself couldn't believe it.

The pick-up at the airport this time was much crazier than the situation he had encountered before, and Su Zu was a little confused So, it didn't seem to be so fanatical some time ago, why is it getting more and more intense now.

In his previous life, he watched the news and once learned that Liu Yangyu had such a period of time after Athens, and almost as soon as he appeared in public, he caused a huge commotion.

Participating in various competitions and activities is often blocked in the hotel and does not dare to go out, and the adaptive field training must be guarded by police and security guards, otherwise the scene is easy to get out of control and cause riots. The popularity is higher than that of any entertainment star.

At the time, he didn't think anything of it, lamenting that some media reports were exaggerated and so on. But in this life, when he really encountered it, he realized what kind of popularity he has reached now.

Here Su Zu also underestimated himself, the Olympic Games 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze record is already the world's attention, no matter which country it is put in, it is a real Olympic star. One of the reasons why he didn't feel deeply before was that he was active under the official arrangement for the first week, and he quickly hid in the training base after dealing with his personal affairs in the next week.

During that time, the media reports had not yet fully formed the largest effect, and were in the gestation stage, and many people still needed to chase his hot news over and over again in news newspapers for the significance of his achievements, constantly explaining the significance of his achievements, how much breakthrough he had, how much honor, etc., so that under the baptism over and over again, popularity really broke out among the whole people.

In particular, this time in the IAAF All-Star Race in Yokohama, he once again broke the Asian record and won the Olympic champion Gatlin, which instantly ignited people's enthusiasm. After learning about Su Zu's flight back to China through some special channels, many people came directly without organizing it.

Coupled with the huge flow of people at the airport itself, the scene grew bigger and bigger after learning the news.

Blocked by the security guards, Su Zu returned to the area of customs security, and finally no one rushed in again. Then, under the leadership of the airport staff, he hid in a small office next to him.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, I saw Li Zhizhong appear with six airport security personnel.

"Can you go?" Su Zu asked as soon as he saw Li Zhizhong, he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to encounter such a big scene. This kind of popular treatment is not much better than the major entertainment stars who are popular.

"I'm afraid not." Li Zhizhong frowned and shook his head, "There are too many people." ”

A man in uniform next to him who looked like a middle-level or high-level man in the airport spoke: "Now the scene is quite chaotic, and it has affected the normal order, I'm afraid I still need your two to help and persuade you." ”

"Okay, you can do it." Both masters and apprentices nodded, and at the moment they just wanted to escape from the airport as soon as possible.

The airport staff is still very experienced in dealing with this, and quickly arranged for security and some staff to maintain order.

Under the maintenance of airport security and related staff, Su Zu accepted a brief media interview and signed autographs for some fans who picked up the airport. I repeatedly thanked everyone who came to pick me up, and promised that I would continue to work hard in the future, and it took me more than an hour to finally get out.

Among the people who came to pick up the airport this time, in addition to Su Zu's fans and lovers, many reporters and track and field enthusiasts inside came for Liu Yangyu.

However, Liu Yangyu and the others slipped away in advance, leaving only Su Zu's two masters and apprentices to encounter this grand pick-up ceremony.

Of course, they have nothing to be happy about, the airport exit in Luzhou has already been blocked by the media and many "Yangyu fans", and their experience may not be much better than that of Su Zu.

(Fixed a bug, the time of the National Track and Field Grand Prix Finals in the previous 155 chapters is incorrect, May 23 is the time of the National Championships and Olympic Trials, and the National Grand Prix is on September 25, I can't change it now, sorry!) ）
