Chapter 28—The Night in Grosseto (5)

If it weren't for reason telling him that he couldn't rest now and that he must walk more, Li Xianfeng would definitely fall to the ground and not get up. Due to the last forced acceleration just now, the last bit of energy in Li Xianfeng's body was exhausted, and the lactic acid in his thighs accumulated to an unimaginable level, so that now it is extremely difficult for him to take every step.

However, Lee's last-minute effort was well worth it, as the results on the big screen were shown in which Lee Hsien Feng finished third in the group by beating Boletta by five thousandths of a second.

"Old Yuan! Lee Hsien Fung has entered the finals! It's the final! That's a great thing! The team's excitement is palpable, because the impact of the men's 100m in the final can be compared to medals in other events, and even compared to gold medals in underdog events.

"Yes! I didn't expect that either! Coach Yuan was equally excited, but seeing Li Xianfeng constantly slapping the muscles of his thighs and the tiredness on his face, he was a little worried and distressed.

"I'll go to the leader now to report the good news." After the team leader finished speaking, he hurriedly left the stands.

"Hey, Huaguo boy, you ran well, look forward to your performance in the finals!" Walter Dicks came to Li Xianfeng and gave him a thumbs up.

"It's just a fluke to get into the finals, looking at him like this, most of the time at night, he is also at the bottom." Álvaro may have been a little unhappy because he had been pressed by Li Xianfeng just now, and suddenly jumped out to mock at this time.

"See you in the finals!" Li Xianfeng knows that now is not the time to play tricks, although it is said that there are skills to use in the final at night, but it also requires physical support, so the most important thing for Li Xianfeng now is to go and rest quickly.

"Xianfeng, you've made history, just enjoy the game at night." Coach Yuan gave Li Xianfeng a hug.

"No, coach I think I can go further, it's just that I need to rest now." Li Xianfeng didn't want to work hard to get into the finals, and finally went home in the bottom of the list.

"Okay, hurry up and go back to the hotel with me, and I'll ask the leader if he can arrange a massage for you."

As soon as he returned to the hotel, the team doctor had already greeted him, took Li Xianfeng and Yuan Cheng to the physiotherapy room for massage as quickly as possible, and raced against time to help him recover his physical fitness.

"Ah~ This is the VIP treatment." Li Xianfeng, who was pressed comfortably, couldn't help moaning, and finally fell asleep on the massage table.

Looking at the sleeping Li Xianfeng, Coach Yuan smiled, but at the same time there was a trace of doubt, "When did the national team become so efficient?" ”

"Director Zhang, just sent a battle report from Grosseto, Italy, our men's 100m teenager Li Xianfeng broke into the final, and according to the team leader, there is still a chance to get a better ranking, so the track and field center asked if it could broadcast this final temporarily." An assistant from Yang Wu came to the office of Deputy Director Zhang, who was in charge of the program.

"Oh? When did such a genius emerge from the sprint team. Zhang Taichang was interested, "When will the sprint final start?" What was the show we had planned? ”

"The final started at 8:30 p.m. local time, which was half past two in the morning Beijing time, and it was originally scheduled for a replay of the welfare lottery draw." The assistant replied.

"Oh?" Director Zhang frowned, this lottery lottery is a big deal, and a lot of the funds in the station come from here, but the track and field team can't help but give face, "That's it, the replay of the lottery will be pushed back, hurry up and contact the IAAF, let's buy the qualification for the broadcast of the finals." ”

"Okay." The assistant responded.

"Director, the leaders of the Central Five have agreed to broadcast the finals live." Director Huang's secretary reported the good news to him.

"Great! Now it's up to Li Xianfeng to go further! Director Huang, who has always been more powerful and unsmiling, also showed an excited expression.

"But director, didn't the front-line team leader say that Li Xianfeng's physical exertion is serious, and it is not difficult to produce results in the finals?" The secretary voiced the question in his heart.

"Because we're running out of time." Director Huang sighed, "I didn't have any hope for Li Xianfeng in this competition, but since he has entered the finals, he might as well give it a try, as long as he can get a good ranking in the finals, I can justifiably arrange an auxiliary coaching team for him." In this way, he may be able to make a breakthrough before the Athens Olympics, you must know that there will be a change of office after the Athens Olympics, and Li Xianfeng's achievements can become our capital to climb up. ”

"But what if Li Xianfeng ends up at the bottom?" The secretary asked worriedly.

"Then we just need to blame Li Xianfeng and his coach for the mistake of falsely reporting the military situation, and everything will be fine." Director Huang pushed his glasses.

"You're still tall!" The secretary said admiringly.

Li Xianfeng, who was still asleep, didn't know that because he accidentally entered the finals, there were so many changes, which can be regarded as the coexistence of opportunities and crises, and the key point is what kind of results he can achieve in the finals.

"It's so comfortable." Li Xianfeng woke up from his sleep, stretched his waist, and suddenly found that Coach Yuan, who was sitting next to him, showed a mysterious smile to himself.

"Coach, what are you laughing at?" Li Xianfeng felt that Coach Yuan was smiling a little scary.

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Well, why is this old man doing this again?" Li Xianfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes, "This time I'll hear the good news first." ”

"The good news is that you have temporarily decided to broadcast live in the finals this time!"

"Really?!" Lee Hsien Fung was a little incredulous.

"Of course, it's just that the time for the game is half past two in the morning Beijing time."

"Oh, okay then." Li Xianfeng lost his spirit in an instant, he forgot that there is a six-hour time difference between Beijing and Italy, and his parents are not young, so there is no need for the elderly to stay up late, and there is no TV at home now, and if you want to watch TV, you have to go to the village chief's house to rub it, and it is not good to disturb people at night.

"And what about the bad news?" The good news is dispensable for Li Xianfeng, and this bad news is not really bad news.

"The bad news is that it's three o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel doesn't serve dinner right now, and you'll have to wait an hour if you want to eat."

Coach Yuan didn't say that it was okay to eat, but as soon as he talked about eating, Li Xianfeng's stomach began to growl. "Why doesn't this pit daddy hotel offer all-day dining?" Li Xianfeng asked indignantly.

"Because the hotel wants to provide athletes' meals, there are still ordinary meals, but you can't eat them. By the way, how do you feel about your recovery? ”

"Well, I guess I need ten Snickers to get my strength!"
