Chapter 277: Rivals and Friends

Just when Ye Qin had just leaned down and was about to make a starting posture, on the track beside him, suddenly a figure quietly squatted on the runner like him.

Ye Qin didn't care, he just started to run with all his attention, but just after the start, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the figure next to him who was also doing warm-up training, how could he follow him.

After running a few steps, he slowly stopped, and after seeing the other party clearly, he immediately laughed.

"Euse-Bote!" Ye Qin shouted out the other party's name loudly.

What appeared in front of Ye Qin was a tall and slender black man, and after hearing Ye Qin's voice, he slowly turned around, and his face showed a confused look.

"Hey, you don't remember me?" Ye Qin looked at the other party's expression, and his face suddenly had some doubts.

Speaking of which, the two only had a brief intersection when they were in the World Junior Championships, but at that time, the language was incomprehensible, and it was a little difficult for Ye Qin's English level to cope with daily conversations freely.

During the Athens Olympics last year, the two actually met once, that is, during the men's 200-meter preliminaries, but because Ye Qin was out of the 400-meter at that time, he was extremely cautious about the 200-meter preliminaries, and he didn't think about anything else.

And he and Yusse Bot each had the staff of the national team watching, warming up, because he didn't go up to greet each other to communicate.

Originally, Ye Qin thought that Yusse Bot would at least be able to successfully advance to the final in the 200m event, after all, in the 2004 Caribbean Games, Yusse Bot had been able to run into 20 seconds, not to mention that the Olympics also had such a state to play, but at least one final place is definitely no problem.

As a result, he learned after the game that Yusse Bot was unexpectedly out of the preliminary round, and after that game, Yechin did not see each other again.

There were a large number of athletes participating in the Athens Olympics, and he was busy with the competition at first, and after the competition, he basically followed the other team members and did not see each other again.

Unexpectedly, I met him in New York, USA today, and it seems that the other party, like him, should also come to participate in the New York Grand Prix.

For a while, Ye Qin was still a little excited in his heart.

In the 2003 World Junior Championships, the gap between him and the other party was very obvious, and even now, he didn't dare to say that he had the strength to win the other party, but such a powerful peer had extraordinary significance for Ye Qin.

He has lost to opponents, just as he lost to Raun-Merritt at the World Junior Championships, and he wants to see them again and run seriously together. Test your progress and prove your strength.

But as Ye Qin spoke twice, he found that the situation was somewhat unexpected.

Yusse-Bot doesn't seem to remember him at all.

"Canada, Sherbrooke, men's 200m race, number 100, you are the champion, I am the third place, remember?"

Ye Qin looked at the other party's blank look, reached out and pulled the number plate on his sprint suit, and spoke again.

He remembered the problem of face blindness that he had talked about in a conversation with Randy Hunter before, Asians are a little face blind when looking at black people, and black and white people are also face blind when looking at Asians.

"Hey dude, what are you talking about, do we know each other?"

Yusse-Bot listened to Ye Chin's words, tilting his head slightly, looking completely unaware of what you were talking about.

"I really don't remember?"

Ye Qin frowned slightly, seeing that the other party's expression didn't seem to be fake, and he didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

Such a scene is a bit embarrassing, but not impossible.

People will remember who they lost to and who took the championship away, but they don't necessarily remember who they won and who won the championship from whom. This is the norm in the arena, and with so many competitions to participate in in a year, it is impossible for every player to remember it clearly.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'll see you in the arena later."

Ye Qin pursed his lips and apologized, but turned his head and thought in his heart, this black man from Jamaica is really amnesia, and when he finishes the men's 200-meter race, he must win, win back, and win the championship, then you will be impressed.

Just as Ye Qin turned around, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind him.

Turning his head again, he saw Yusse-Bot stretching out his hand and pointing at Ye Chin, holding his lower abdomen slightly, laughing happily.

After laughing for a long time, Yusse-Bot looked at Ye Qin's blank expression, reached out and gave Ye Qin a hug, and grinned: "Hi, brother, how could I not know you." By the way, what do you think of my acting skills? I used this trick to avoid a lot of coaches' training. ”

"Damn, you're lying to me!"

At this time, Ye Qin couldn't understand that Yusse Bot recognized him early on, so he deliberately appeared beside him in the warm-up, and Fang Cai's actions were just acting to play tricks on himself.

Ye Qin raised his head and punched the other party, only to hear Yusse Bot hug his shoulders again with an exaggerated expression, let out a painful cry in his mouth, pretending to be seriously injured, and saw that Ye Qin was no longer hit this time, so he stood up again.

"Number 100, your English is much better now than before, and I finally don't have to compare with your hands anymore." As he spoke, Euse-Bot made a series of exaggerated gestures, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on winning the men's 400m in Eugene. ”

"Then it's too early for you to congratulate." Ye Qin looked at this black living treasure, stretched out his hand and pointed to the track, "When I win today's 200-meter race, you can congratulate me again." ”

"That can't be, man." Listening to Ye Qin talk about the competition, Yusse Bot restrained his smile, "You don't know what I experienced after the Olympics, this is my comeback fight, I have to win." ”

"Nope." Ye Qin shook his head, "Just at you just pretending not to know me, which embarrassed me for a long time, I can't let you be the champion of this game." ”

"Let me? Are you sure you have the strength? Yusse-Bot opened his mouth wide and gave him an exaggerated look.

Ye Qin nodded calmly, "Of course, I'm a person who has reached the finals of the Olympic Games, and I don't want some players to be eliminated in the first round." ”

"I hurt my muscles because I was hit."

"Who knows, maybe it's stage fright."

"It seems that you have forgotten the experience of being thrown away by me during the World Junior Championships."

"Haha, you forgot, I'm sure I won't remember."

The two of them laughed again. A few simple words, language, nationality, and race seem to have disappeared at this moment.

On the field, they are opponents, but off the field, they are already friends.
