Chapter 348: The Enemy's Reaction
Since CCTV was not the only media to conduct on-site interviews after the 400-meter final, Feng Quan's words about "slapping Bolt in the face" were also transmitted back to their respective countries through the live broadcast signals of many countries.
At the same moment, lying in his high-end room, Bolt, who was recuperating for the men's 100-meter semi-finals to be held in the afternoon, also saw the scene of Feng Quan's "mouth spitting wild words" with his own eyes.
Since Bolt didn't know Chinese at all, the Jamaicans didn't know what Feng Quan was talking about, even though the Jamaicans were staring very carefully at the wall-mounted TV in the room. However, through the observation of Feng Quan's facial expressions and body movements, coupled with the fact that Feng Quan and Xia Rina, who interviewed him, mentioned his name many times during the interview, Bolt can conclude: "What that Chinese kid said must not be a good thing!" ”
Even if he identified his competitors and must have said something unpleasant in an interview, Bolt didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this kind of pre-race boasting about belittling his opponents has long been commonplace, not to mention that he himself has done the same thing since yesterday's preliminary 100m race.
However, just over half an hour later, when Bolt and his mentor Glenn Mills came to the restaurant to prepare for lunch, Glenn Mills' mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, I'm Mills...... What the!? Is that really what that Chinese kid said...... Okay, I got it. With that, Glenn Mills hung up the phone.
"Hey, Glenn, what the hell happened to make you angry like this?" Looking at the angry teacher in front of him, Bolt asked with some confusion.
After a moment of silence, Glenn Mills forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly: "It's not too important, let's eat first." ”
Although Bolt would have liked to know right away what kind of message had been conveyed on that phone call that made his mentor so angry. But the Jamaican flyer, who knew that his mentor was the only one to say, finally gave up the idea of "getting to the bottom of it" and was ready to find out after lunch.
Because the master and apprentice had their own hearts and minds, the two of them seemed to have a "very tacit understanding" and quickly finished the lunch. Immediately afterward, Bolt learned from Glenn Mills what Feng Quan said in an interview after the 400m final.
It turned out that after the footage of Feng Quan's interview was transmitted to hundreds of countries around the world through the broadcast signal, tens of thousands of foreign netizens who were fluent in Chinese translated what Feng Quan said in the interview in their native languages.
At the same time, some foreign netizens who don't like Fengquan very much, and are even quite hostile to him, even added fuel to his remarks. And it is very coincidental that the Jamaican colleague who called Glenn Mills just now saw the "Fengquan interview record" on the Internet is exactly the version after being added to the fire.
"What!? That Chinese kid actually said in front of so many people that I am not his opponent at all now? And you're going to beat me all over the ground in the final? ”
After hearing Glenn Mills's words, Bolt was immediately a little annoyed. In his opinion, the reason why he lost both of the two direct battles with Feng Quan last year was that in addition to being a little underestimated, he did have some problems in terms of competitive state last year.
However, after losing to Feng Quan twice in a row, although Bolt still despises his opponent in interviews with the media, he has already recognized the opponent's strong strength in his heart. In fact, he can't help but look at the light wind anymore, after all, the current 100-meter world record has long fallen under the name of the Chinese.
Because of this, Bolt chose to give up a lot of business activities after entering 2013, so as to devote most of his energy to training. Although this has caused the Jamaicans to suffer a lot of economic losses, this economic loss has been in exchange for a steady improvement in Bolt's athletic form.
At the same time, under the careful guidance of Glenn Mills, Bolt has gradually overcome the relative weakness of the starting stage, and now Bolt is once again at the peak of his career. In the closed training before the World Championships, he ran under 9.60 seconds many times, and even ran 9.54 seconds in a downwind condition, which is the best proof of this.
It is with this strength and state that Bolt will vowed to regain the throne of the "King of Speed" that originally belonged to him in this World Championship. Even if he can't break the world record held by Feng Quan in the race, Bolt still believes that he will be able to easily "step on his Chinese feet" in the final when he returns to his top form.
However, what Bolt didn't expect was that Feng Quan not only kept a low profile in an interview with the media before the game like other Chinese athletes, but also dared to "speak out" and declare that he would "beat himself all over the ground". For a moment, Bolt couldn't help but feel the urge to rush in front of the other party and beat him up. However, such thoughts are only fleeting in the minds of Jamaican flyers. After all, only defeating the opponent on the track is the most powerful means of counterattack, not to mention that if you really hit the opponent, there is no doubt that you will be banned by the IAAF. In this way, isn't it just the "treacherous scheme" of the Chinese?
Thinking of this, Bolt quickly adjusted his mentality, and then said with a smile: "Hey, Glenn, I remember that the Chinese in today's rematch was placed in Group 3, and I played in the last group, right?" ”
"That's right, that's it." Glenn Mills nodded.
"Well, that's a pity. It would be nice to be in the same group as that Chinese kid. Bolt feigned a sigh.
"Why?"
"Because that Chinese kid who didn't know the height of the sky really angered me, so just beating him once in the final couldn't solve the hatred in my heart." Bolt gritted his teeth.
"The grouping of the semi-finals was announced as early as yesterday afternoon, so the two of you will definitely not have a chance to meet in today's game." Glenn Mills patted Bolt on the shoulder and "comforted".
"Well, of course I know that. However, if I can be in the same group as the Chinese kid in the semi-finals tomorrow afternoon, I'm sure I'll be able to handle that guy easily. At that time, I see what arrogant capital that kid still has. ”
Hearing this, a strange smile first appeared on Glenn Mills' face, and then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Hey, Mr. Schmitz, there's something I'd like to ask you to help with......"
