Chapter 39: Retirement due to injury
The time for the Asian Games is getting closer and closer, and after a period of training at Yenching Sports University, the whole team has moved to Qatar.
Qatar has a hot and dry climate, so it is most appropriate to hold the tournament at the end of November and the beginning of December, and the country has the money to hold the tournament without mercy.
The Goldwind team came here early for adaptive training.
Although the Chinese track and field team is not very good in the world track and field world, it can still dominate in Asia, but in recent years, with the recovery of the Japanese team, the rise of the South Korean team, and the naturalized personnel of the West Asian powerhouses, the dominance of the Chinese team is gradually declining.
Now Jin Feng and Li Feixiang are sitting together, and Gao Guo and Wang Yue are analyzing the current situation.
"The 110m hurdles are our strengths, we have won five consecutive championships, and in the previous eight finals, we won seven championships, so the advantage is obvious, so this time the task is still to be the champion." Gao Guo first popularized the championship history of China.
"However, we also have a lot of opponents, South Korea's Park Tae-ruan, Japan's Naoto Naito, and Qatar's naturalized player Al-Dosari are all strong opponents for us, among which Dosari is the most noteworthy one." Wang Yue introduced the opponents of the Huaxia team.
"And you, Li Feixiang is injured, so this time the heavy responsibility falls on Jin Feng." Gao Guo unceremoniously threw the pot to Jin Feng.
"Li Feixiang is the first person in the 110-meter hurdles in China, and the task of winning the championship still depends on him." Wang Yue is not stupid, Jinfeng's results are good, and his strength is enough, but this is the Asian Games, the level is different, and no one dares to guarantee whether Jinfeng can withstand the pressure.
"Don't, I think Goldwind has a great future." Gao Guo is waiting for the pit king Yue.
What is the extent of Li Feixiang's injury, in addition to Gao Guo in the team, only Jin Feng knows best, once Li Feixiang retires due to injury, the pressure on Jin Feng will definitely be very great.
But Jin Feng doesn't care, he came here to win the championship.
The opening ceremony of the Asian Games was the first opening ceremony that Goldwind participated in, and Goldwind was still very excited at first about this situation, but soon, he felt a little too bored, and he couldn't wait to go back to rest.
The 110-meter hurdles competition is in the middle period, so Jinfeng has nothing to do except train every day, but Li Feixiang often goes out for business activities, and he doesn't look like a person who comes to participate in the Asian Games.
However, Jin Feng also understands that Li Feixiang was originally injured and came with the intention of retiring, so how could he train hard?
In the 110m hurdles, there are only two races, the preliminaries and the final, and there are not many competitors, only two groups of competitors will compete, and the top three players in each group will enter the final, and the two best runners will also enter the final.
Li Feixiang was placed in the first group, and Jin Feng was placed in the second group.
Chen Jian is still the commentator of the 110-meter hurdles, and in the Asian Games, everyone pays the most attention to Li Feixiang.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the Doha Asian Games 110m hurdles preliminaries, the 110m hurdles has always been the strength of the Chinese team, this time the Chinese team sent Asian flyer Li Feixiang and young teenager Jin Feng." Chen Jian was reluctant to talk about Jin Feng, because Jin Feng slapped him in the face more than once, but it wouldn't work if he didn't say it now.
"Li Feixiang has an injury, but it doesn't matter, his strength is here, he will definitely be able to easily win the championship, Golden Wind performed well in the National Games, but this is the Asian Games, I think he still has to accumulate experience." Chen Jian is still not optimistic about Jinfeng, after all, Jinfeng is still too young, and his results are definitely not as good as Li Feixiang.
In the backcourt below, Li Feixiang's expression was very serious, he retired, he had to retire as long as he played, which was really uncomfortable for him, and he had to withstand a lot of pressure.
Qatar has a small population, and there are not many people who come here to watch the track and field competition, but there are still a lot of Chinese people sitting in the stands, they are waving the national flag, and they come here to cheer.
"I tell you, after you go up, you can't hold on, and you will end up." Gao Guo whispered to Li Feixiang.
"Yes." Li Feixiang nodded, he was also thinking about what to do?
"Okay, here's the first group of competitions, Li Feixiang is on the field, and he is the favorite to win the championship in this event." Chen Jian looked at Li Feixiang very excited, he was able to be promoted to the gold medal host, all relying on Li Feixiang, this is called good luck, who asked him to explain Li Feixiang's competition, Li Feixiang won the championship?
Jin Feng looked at Li Feixiang below, as an athlete, it was a very uncomfortable thing to be unable to finish the game.
In the first group, in addition to Li Feixiang, there are also South Korean player Park Tae-ruan and Qatar's Al-Dosari.
"Bang!" The starting gun sounded.
Park Tae-ruan was the first to rush out of the starting point and headed towards the first hurdle.
"The competition officially began, Park Tae-ruan took the lead, and Li Feixiang was not to be outdone, following closely behind." Before Chen Jian's words fell, there was an accident on the track below.
Li Feixiang's ankle itself was injured, and after exerting his strength, the pain was unbearable, and Li Feixiang fell to the ground, which was very painful.
"Oops, Li Feixiang was injured, and he fell to the ground." Chen Jian shouted in surprise.
It was an accident, a very big one.
After Li Feixiang fell, he did not withdraw from the race directly, but stood up, but one foot could not touch the ground, so he could only jump on one leg and jump to the finish line.
"It seems that Li Feixiang's injury is not good, but Li Feixiang did not give up, but jumped to the finish line on one leg." Chen Jian's tone was very low, and at the same time he was a little dissatisfied, "Since the injury is not good, why do you want to participate in the competition?" ”
Although Li Feixiang finished the competition, it was impossible for him to advance to the next round, and his journey to the Asian Games ended here.
Gao Guo's face was gloomy, he was very dissatisfied with Li Feixiang's assertions, as long as he withdrew from the race directly, why did he jump to the finish line?
Park Tae-ruan, who finished the race, looked incredulous, he didn't expect to win the group.
"I can announce that in the 110m hurdles, we have lost a very important gold medal." Chen Jian said pessimistically that in his eyes, this gold medal is Li Feixiang's, and Li Feixiang's retirement due to injury will definitely let other players see the hope of the championship.
With the support of two people, Li Feixiang walked down, just as Jin Feng was about to play, Li Feixiang said in a low voice: "Come on, this gold medal belongs to us." ”
"Brother Li, don't worry, I won't let this gold medal be lost." Jin Feng nodded, he came here to win the championship.
