"Director Yuan, what you said is indeed right. But I think what surprised me the most at this World Championships was not that Feng Quan broke the world record again, but that Sun Bingtian and Zheng Peimeng both of them also reached the semifinals. Liu Jianjun said.

"That's right, Feng Quan's 100m championship at last year's London Olympics is really exciting for the Chinese people, but in fact, in the whole world, others only recognize Feng Quan's personal strength, but few people recognize that we have become a 'sprint power'."

"And today, when all three athletes from our country have reached the semi-finals, and if it weren't for the deliberate difficulties of the organizing committee, we might even have more than two runners to break into the final finals, even if others want to disagree with the fact that our country's sprinting strength has truly become world-class, I am afraid it will be difficult to find any reasonable excuses."

"So, when we have enough quality to be able to 'despise' our opponents under certain conditions, why should we give up this opportunity to allow more young people to show their talents?" After a slight pause, Liu Jianjun continued: "Besides, at last year's London Olympics, Feng Quan only participated in the final as a substitute after one of our relay team players was injured unexpectedly. ”

After Liu Jianjun finished speaking, he sat quietly in his position, constantly scanning the expressions of the leaders and colleagues left and right. And his words did deeply touch the hearts of everyone present.

In fact, Liu Jianjun is not the only one who hopes that more Chinese players can get the opportunity to show themselves on the world stage, but it is only because of the pressure on performance that everyone present does not dare to easily gamble on their future, but only to give more young people the opportunity to exercise.

Although more than ten or twenty years ago, if an athlete was able to win the championship in any event at the Olympic Games or the World Championships, it could make the more than one billion people in China feel deep pride and pride.

However, today, when our motherland has re-emerged, even the old powers such as the United States, Germany, France, Britain, and Russia are afraid of three points, and even in some areas must rely on the Chinese market to survive, although the Olympic champion will still inspire the national pride of ordinary people, but the influence it can exert is not as great as before.

Nowadays, I am afraid that only such as football basketball and volleyball, unless the Chinese team can achieve breakthrough achievements in collective events with wide influence around the world, it is likely to arouse the enthusiasm of ordinary people.

Because of this, compared to Feng Quan's drama of crushing competitors by himself, I am afraid that the Chinese people would like to see the overall explosion of Chinese players in a certain event. In Liu Jianjun's view, the upcoming preliminaries of the 4x100m relay event are the best time to show the overall strength of Chinese sprinting to the Chinese people.

Feng Yong, who had been pondering for a long time, finally spoke: "Xiao Liu, your idea is indeed good, but the worries of Long Dao and Yuan Dao are not as reasonable. Once Xiao Xie does not play well because of nervousness, so that we cannot break into the finals, we will not only have to bear strong pressure from the media, I am afraid that the spittle stars of ordinary people in China will drown us. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jianjun nodded and said, "Director Feng, I understand your worries, but I think the current ideological consciousness of the people in China has been greatly improved compared with the past. So, even if we were very unlucky not to make it to the finals, as long as we could give a reasonable explanation, they would be able to understand it. ”

After a pause, Liu Jianjun scratched his head and said: "Actually, the reason why I proposed to let Xie Zhenye replace Feng Quan to participate in the 4 x 100 meter final is really helpless. ”

"Oh? What the hell is going on?. Feng Yong asked suspiciously.

"Hey, in fact, just over half an hour ago, Director Long asked me to inform Feng Quan to participate in the joint training of the 4x100m event tomorrow and prepare to participate in the preliminaries the morning after tomorrow, but he refused on the spot."

Hearing this, the hot-tempered Director Long immediately said angrily: "What did you say!? The country has worked hard to cultivate him, but at the critical moment, he still wants to pick a son? ”

"Director Long, don't get excited, let Xiao Liu finish his words first." Feng Yong hurriedly persuaded.

Feng Quan said that he was too tired to participate in three individual competitions in the past few days, so he wanted to rest for two days. However, as long as the 4x100m relay team can make it to the final, he is still willing to play in the final. ”

As soon as Liu Jianjun's words fell, Director Long immediately snorted and said, "Hmph! This kid has some achievements and is capable, right? And learned to bargain with us. Director Feng, it's not okay to go on like this, you have to discuss with Director Du to find a way to beat this kid. ”

Hearing this, Feng Yong couldn't help but shake his head again and again and said with a wry smile: "Director Long, it's not more than ten years ago, when the organization just tried to find a way to knock and knock, and the athletes below would be obedient and obedient." ”

"What's more, Feng Quan won all three events in the World Championships this time, and also piggybacked on his hands to break two world records, what other reason can we find to 'knock' him?" After a pause, Feng Yong continued: "Don't forget, this kid is still a crossover athlete, and he also won the best newcomer award in the Bundesliga in May. If you really force him to be anxious and directly announce that he will quit the field of athletics and concentrate on playing professional football, won't it be our field management center that will be unlucky in the end? ”

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yong turned his head to look at Liu Jianjun and said, "That's it, Xiao Liu, Feng Quan doesn't want to participate in the 4 x 100 meter preliminaries, and we won't force him." However, to avoid the trouble that arises if we don't make it to the final, I want you to ask him to do us a favor......"

…………

Although with the help of the system, Feng Quan can keep his body in a good competitive state at any time, but the experience of competing non-stop for 5 consecutive days still makes Feng Quan's "spirit" quite tired. After winning the 100-meter championship and completing the goal of "winning all individual events" set before the race, Fengquan's own "Moscow Campaign" was finally completed.

In addition, since Feng Quan broke the world record in two different events in a row in a week, the system not only rewarded him with the corresponding skill points, but also opened a large number of previously unavailable items in the system store.

Not only that, in order to "commend" the style that shined at the Moscow World Championships, the system also gave him a 5% discount card from the system mall. However, it is a little regrettable for Feng Quan that this 5% off discount card is a one-time consumable item, not a "VIP" card that is permanently valid.

But even so, Feng Quan was still very happy. You know, Feng Quan has a few very practical products in the system mall, and the cheapest one also requires 20 skill points.

So, Feng Quan, who got a 5% discount card, was ready to lie down comfortably on the bed, and then went to the system mall to "squander".

However, just when Feng Quan had just turned on the system and had not had time to enter the interface of the system mall, there was a "piercing" knock on the door outside the room.

"Who!? Knocking on the door so late and not letting people sleep? Feng Quan said impatiently.

"Daquan, it's me, Liu Jianjun."

Although Feng Quan was a little reluctant to be disturbed at this time, when he heard that it was Liu Jianjun, he quickly turned over and got out of bed to let Liu Jianjun into the room.

After letting Liu Jianjun into the room, Feng Quan pretended to be tired, leaned back on the comfortable leather sofa and said, "Director Liu, do you have anything to do with me so late?" ”

"Director Long asked me to inform you that you will train with your teammates in the relay team tomorrow afternoon in order to prepare for the preliminaries of the 4x100m relay to be held the morning after tomorrow." Liu Jianjun smiled.

Feng Quan: "Oh, that's it?" ”

Liu Jianjun: "That's right, that's it." ”

Feng Quan: "Oh, I'm not going to train tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jianjun was suddenly shocked: "How can this work!?" Didn't you promise to take part in the 4x100m relay before you came to Moscow? How can you go back on it now? ”

"I don't regret it, what I just said was 'I won't go to tomorrow's training'. I was so tired from competing for 5 days in a row, so I wanted to take a good rest. After a pause, Feng Quan continued: "By the way, I don't want to participate in the preliminaries the morning after tomorrow, if a few of them can successfully break into the finals, I can help them." And, in my opinion, even without me, a few of them are still capable enough to make it to the finals, right? ”

At the beginning, Liu Jianjun was still a little unhappy with Feng Quan's "rejection". But if you think about it, Feng Quan's reasons for "rejecting" himself are also sufficient.

Moreover, considering the importance of Feng Quan to Chinese track and field, even leaders at the level of Director Du and Director Feng have to give him a little thin face, Liu Jianjun is even more reluctant to have a conflict with this "great god".

So, Liu Jianjun had to smile and "order" Feng Quan to rest early, and then walked out of the room in a huff.

In fact, the reason why Feng Quan is reluctant to participate in the 4 x 100 meter preliminaries is that in addition to the continuous participation in the competition, his "mental" fatigue has never been alleviated, and the hope of winning the championship in this event is extremely slim, which is the most fundamental reason why Feng Quan is unwilling to participate.

For the current Feng Quan, no matter what track and field competition he attends, he has only one goal, that is, to win the championship. Moreover, with the strength he currently has, he has more than 90% of the championships in every competition he has participated in.

However, for the 4x100m relay, even in the final of last year's London Olympics, when the entire Chinese relay team, including Feng Quan himself, gave full play to their individual strength, they could only lag behind the Jamaican team by nearly 0.7 seconds and fell in third.

Even if Feng Quan is now participating in the 4 x 100 meter relay race, he played all his "hole cards" at most, and at most he barely improved the 100-meter score to about 9.20 seconds.

If you simply compare the results, the fastest speed that Feng Quan can achieve at the London Olympics is about 9.60 seconds. According to the ideal situation, the Chinese relay team's performance will also be about 0.4 seconds higher than that of the London Olympics.

But even so, there is still a gap of at least about 0.3 seconds between the Chinese team and the Jamaican team, and such a gap is not small for the 4 x 100 meter relay event. What's more, the Jamaican team now has a return to the top and improved starting technique Bolt pressing.

Therefore, in Feng Quan's view, unless he can break through the limits of human beings, that is to say, he has the strength to break through the 9-second mark in the 100-meter event, and it is possible to lead the Chinese team to stand on the top podium of the 4x100-meter relay event.

If it had been two years ago, even if I could stand on the top podium of the domestic competition, Feng Quan would have felt great satisfaction. And now, when Feng Quan has obtained the system, no matter what level of competition he participates in, only the championship is the goal he pursues.

…………

It was more than 9 o'clock in the morning on August 17.

Feng Quan, who finally found a chance to sleep in, was awakened by a rapid knock outside the door.

So, Fengquan, who was awakened from a sweet dream, shouted out the door with some annoyance: "Who!? Knocking on the door so early will it give me a good night's sleep. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jianjun, who was standing outside the room, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, his eyelids couldn't help beating wildly, and he said in his heart: "You kid has slept until this time, and you are embarrassed to say that others disturb your rest?" ”

However, when he thought that he was "here for request" after all, Liu Jianjun still forced a smile and said: "Daquan, you open the door for me first, there is something I need your help with." ”

Because among the sprint coaches of the national team, Liu Jianjun has the best personal relationship with Feng Quan, so he was the one who came to find him, and Feng Quan's attitude eased a little.

"It's Director Liu, you wait a while, I'll put on some clothes and go open the door for you."

A minute later, after putting on a set of pajamas, Feng Quan let Liu Jianjun in.

"Director Liu, what are you looking for me?" Feng Quan said straight to the point.

Liu Jianjun: "Oh, Director Feng hopes you can do us a small favor." ”

Feng Quan: "What's the matter, you can tell it." ”

Liu Jianjun: "At about 11 o'clock, CCTV Sports will send a reporter to conduct a simple interview with you, and I hope you can tell them that it is because you are very tired physically and mentally from participating in the competition for 5 consecutive days, and you need time to recover before you can play your full strength in the final of the 4x100m relay." ”

After a pause, Liu Jianjun continued: "Therefore, you will choose to give up the opportunity to participate in the 4x100m relay preliminaries, and you also believe that even if you don't press the line, your teammates will be able to advance to the finals smoothly." ”

"That's it!?" Feng Quan was a little inexplicable.

Liu Jianjun: "That's right, that's it." ”

"Oh my mother, isn't that what I said to you yesterday? For this, is it worth your special trip in the morning? Feng Quan said in a puzzled way.

Liu Jianjun smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hey, Daquan, no matter what, you can be regarded as an athlete in the system." Even if I don't know what to say, you should know what is going on in your heart. Therefore, in order for all of us to continue to happily get along ...... "a suitable word to find after a pause". When you interview later, you can repeat what you said to me yesterday. ”

Hearing this, Feng Quan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Although Feng Quan doesn't like the bureaucratic style in the domestic sports circle, as an athlete in the system, at certain moments, he can only cooperate with some "reasonable" requirements of his superiors.
