Chapter 99: Negative News Before the Final
At 11 o'clock in the morning, perhaps because of the first round of preliminaries, the physical fitness was not completely recovered, and in the second round of the rematch, most of the athletes were aiming for promotion, and the athletes with strength also adopted a conservative running style.
Wang Ben advanced to the semifinals in the second round of the rematch with a time of 10.21 seconds.
"Hello..."
As soon as they left the stadium, Zhang Ben and his party were stopped by several reporters: "Can you interview Mr. Wang Ben?" ”
The microphone in the reporter's hand is the logo of the "Seoul Sports Newspaper". The English language was very slippery, and Wang Ben didn't understand it at all. The reporter smiled slightly and hurriedly said: "I won't delay you too much, one minute, only one minute will take up one minute of you..."
"Okay, we'll promise your interview..."
Yu Wei directly agreed to the request, smiling.
Zhang Ben sighed secretly and didn't say much. Zhang Ben wanted to refuse this interview, but Wang Ben has never participated in the training of reporters, and he does not know that these foreign reporters have several pitfalls in every sentence, and if they fall into the trap designed by others, it will not only be Wang Ben who will be embarrassed, but also may have a negative impact on the country.
"Be careful, don't lose faith, don't be too arrogant, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't..."
After all, Wang Ben was only seventeen years old and had never experienced such a scene.
As soon as Zhang Ben finished giving the order, seven or eight reporters surrounded Wang Ben, and Zhang Ben was squeezed out.
"I don't have much time, I'm tired from participating in two games in a row, so if you have any questions, just ask..."
Wang Ben's English level is only the level of the third grade of junior high school, and he still fails the level, and he can't understand what these reporters are muttering, so he can only say so.
"Mr. Wang Ben..."
Unexpectedly, among the reporters on the other side, there were reporters who could speak Chinese, and the words were round: "Hello, my name is Li Xiao, I am Korean-Chinese, I will ask you a question now, what do you think about doping athletes?" ”
As soon as this question came out, Zhang Ben knew that it was not good.
The other party is obviously a well-designed question, deliberately digging a pit for Wang Ben...
Just as he was about to walk over, as a coach, Zhang Ben had the right to be interviewed on behalf of his disciples.
At this time, Wang Ben replied: "Doping is a very unfair behavior and an act that violates the spirit of sportsmanship. A moment of luck, a lifetime of delay..."
Zhang Ben was stunned, but he didn't expect Wang Ben's answer to make him very satisfied, and he relaxed a little.
"Then Mr. Wang Ben, what is your goal for this Asian Games... Got an idea to break the Asian record? ”
It's a difficult question, and as an athlete, who doesn't want to win a championship? Who doesn't want to break records? Whether you have the strength or not, as an athlete, you have to have this kind of goal.
Wang Ben also replied like this, obviously, decent.
"That's a good answer..."
Zhang Ben smiled slightly, pulled Wang Ben away from these reporters, and when he sat on the bus, Chen Haijian smiled: "In the past, these foreign reporters rarely interviewed Chinese athletes when they were competing outside, although you are not the first, but in the 100-meter side, you are one of the very few..."
There are not many times of domestic sprinting, excellent results abroad, and naturally, there are not many opportunities to be interviewed.
"Hey, hey..."
Wang Ben smiled smugly: "The coach used to tell me that if I read more classic answer quotations when others were interviewed, I will learn a little bit along with them..."
............
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Ben and other athletes went for a morning run around the hotel.
Zhang Ben was the first to come to the restaurant and had breakfast, he had a short meeting to attend, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast later... After the meeting, it is time to leave for the main arena to play.
This restaurant is a Chinese restaurant, and the waiters here are either domestic workers or work-study students studying in Korea. Therefore, after coming to South Korea, Zhang Ben only felt a sense of comfort here.
Entering the restaurant, Zhang Ben faintly heard words such as Wang Ben and breaking the record. I saw a newspaper shelf on the wall of the restaurant with some newspapers on it, in English, Japanese, Korean...
Of course, there is no Chinese version.
Zhang Ben frowned and picked up a Korean version of the newspaper, because the cover of the front page of this newspaper was the shot of Wang Ben crossing the line in the preliminaries yesterday...
Sitting at the dining table, Zhang Ben saw a girl quietly looking at him. This girl Zhang Ben is also a little familiar, and Zhang Ben is a fellow countryman who studied here. With a slight smile, Zhang Ben beckoned: "This classmate, how about I help you translate this newspaper?" ”
The girl sat across from Zhang Ben and began to translate for him. At the beginning here, Yu Wei and a director of the field management center also came to the restaurant.
Hearing the content of the newspaper, Director Cai was very dissatisfied.
Director Cai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Korean news people are too irresponsible, there are too many ways to chase after the wind and smear rumors." ”
First, the "Seoul Sports News", with the title: China's 100-meter flyer, suspected of doping.
This was followed by MBC Newspaper: Chinese athletes fantasized about breaking Asian records.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, an athlete who doesn't want to break records, not a qualified athlete. Young people have some momentum and fantasy, and that's a good thing.
A simple interview, actually hacked like this by these sticks? Isn't Wang Ben already running 9.99 seconds faster than the wind, isn't this a proof? Why didn't they report it? These foreign media, don't they use their brains? Although the results of the super wind speed are not counted in the record, it is a real result. If you work harder, it shouldn't be difficult to really run 9.99 seconds. ”
South Korean reporters said that Wang Ben wanted to break the Asian record as a fantasy, and Director Cai was even more unimpressed: "But just yesterday, our Liu Feiren broke the 110 hurdles Asian record in the European arena." The 100-meter record is not a matter of time before it happens, what's all the fuss? ”
Motioning to the waiter to read the third newspaper, Zhang Ben has become a foil. What can Zhang Ben say, Yu Wei was also at the scene yesterday, and although Wang Ben's answer in an interview was not very perfect, it would not leave a tail for people to grab.
Wang Ben is also famous in South Korea this time, and it is all front-page headlines, printed with photos of Wang Ben running.
"Chinese players threatened: Asian Games will break Asian records."
"Chinese 100-meter flyer, suspected of doping."
"Chinese who can't afford to lose, cheat and use illegal drugs."
Several newspapers have been published about Wang Ben. Listening to the girl's translation, Zhang Ben was completely stunned, these Koreans like YY so much? It's too obvious that these interviews are made up.
Director Cai has been frowning, in the land of South Korea, none of these newspapers have a conscience?
"This Wang Ben must have been tricked by a reporter and said something that shouldn't be said. After returning to China, Wang Ben will be trained to deal with reporters. ”
Zhang Ben and Yu Wei can testify to this, absolutely not...
After a few bites of breakfast in a hurry, Director Cai said goodbye to Zhang Ben and Yu Wei, got in the car and went straight to the main arena. For Wang Ben's urine test yesterday afternoon, Director Cai had to contact the competition committee, contact the urine testing center, and hold a press conference to clarify this matter.
This matter must be clarified, otherwise it will have a great impact on the athletes, and even on the entire Chinese team.
......
At the same time, Takuku Inobe, a hotel where he lives in Japan, put a few newspapers in front of Kawabe Kitajima, and at the same time said, "Kawabe-kun, please take a look at these reports." ”
Hebian Kitajima quickly finished reading these newspapers and was silent for a long time: "This Wang Ben is obviously an extremely strong athlete who is likely to be greater than the Japanese athletes. South Korea, a nation with a low level of competition, is also qualified to discredit Wang Ben? It is immoral for them to spread rumors like this. ”
He seems to have forgotten that yesterday he was still thinking about how to disclose such news to South Korean reporters.
Today, he is somewhat righteous and awe-inspiring...
The Japanese have always respected the strong and despised the weak, which is a cultural heritage. Wang Ben ran 9.99 seconds in the semi-finals with a speed over the wind, which is not available in Japan. Therefore, although the Japanese do not accept Wang Ben, they respect this strong man very much.
"Riverside-kun, this is the Korean ......"
Takuku Inobe smiled slightly: "Do you think these Koreans are a moral nation?" ”
Kawabe Kitajima smiled, not wanting to comment on this matter. Unless you are blind or stupid, or who does not know the means of Korean sports except for South Korea's own nationals?
Putting the newspaper down, Hebian Beidao smiled again: "The Korean media not only smeared Wang Ben, but also smeared the entire Chinese sports." China is a country with a good face, and I think this Wang Ben is afraid that he is going to run into trouble. ”
