Chapter 118: A Bet

"Haijian, I think you should be thinking about it." Looking at Liu Haijian's retirement application, Liu Bin smiled bitterly and made the final retention.

"Coach, in fact, you also know, I'm 30 years old, and there is no point in spending time in the national team, so it's better to think about the future earlier." Liu Haijian's tone seemed to be very persistent.

"Yes, you are 30 years old in a blink of an eye, but Haijian, with your results, you can maintain it for a few years and compete for better results, so that the treatment after retirement can be better, isn't it?" Liu Bin then persuaded.

"I've got everything I should get at home, I can't participate in world-class competitions at my current level, I'm satisfied to be able to participate in the Olympics once in my life, it's time to live some peaceful days." Liu Haijian replied calmly.

"But......" Liu Bin still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it, just replaced it with a sigh, "Alas, if Haijian still insists after three days, I agree to your retirement application." ”

"Thank you, coach, I'm back training." Liu Haijian was stunned after speaking, he was about to retire, and it didn't matter what he was training or anything, but he said the four words go back to training without thinking.

"Let's go back." Liu Bin waved his hand.

Liu Haijian walked out of Liu Bin's office and found that Li Xianfeng, Zhang Jiakai, and Cheng Xiang were all at the door of the office.

"Brother Jian, I know that you retired because of me, I really made my mistake, don't retire." Zhang Jiakai said, his eyes filled with tears.

"Nothing." Liu Haijian stepped forward with a smile and patted Zhang Jiakai on the shoulder, "It's just that I'm tired and 30 years old, it's time to give the rest of the time to my family." ”

"Brother Jian, I want to talk to you alone." Li Xianfeng suddenly walked out and said.

"Okay." Although he knew that Li Xianfeng was probably trying to persuade himself, Liu Haijian still nodded, because he also had a few words to explain to Li Xianfeng.

"Xianfeng, after I leave, the sprint team will be handed over to you." Before he took two steps, Liu Haijian took the lead in speaking, wanting to block Li Xianfeng's consolation.

"Brother Jian, are you willing?" Li Xianfeng did not answer Liu Haijian's words, but asked in an unusually heavy tone, "Are you willing?" Those four words.

When Li Xianfeng finished asking these four words, he stared at Liu Haijian's eyes, wanting to know something, and sure enough, in an instant, he caught the light flashing in Liu Haijian's eyes, but the light disappeared in an instant and became dim again.

"Haha, although your brother Jian and I are not as talented as you in my life, I have also been the first person in China for a period of time, and I have won the domestic championship all over again, what else is there to be unwilling about?" Liu Haijian replied with a smile.

"Then you haven't stood on the podium of a world-class competition in your life, Brother Jian, are you really willing?" Li Xianfeng pressed forward step by step.

"A world-class stage?" Liu Haijian's eyes showed a hint of yearning, but then he shook his head, "Xianfeng, I'm already old, I'm content to be able to participate in the Olympics once, and I don't want to think about anything else." ”

"Then Brother Jian, why didn't you choose to retire after the Athens Olympics? Obviously you are still in peak condition, have you forgotten that you said that you would show the power of Huaguo sprinting with me in 08 at your doorstep? ”

"I'm sorry, Xianfeng, I ......" Liu Haijian's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to explain something but was interrupted by Li Xianfeng, "Brother Jian, I know that our defeat in the preliminaries this time has hit everyone's self-confidence, and this kind of blow is the same for me."

But if it hadn't been for that mistake, wouldn't the four of us have made it to the World Championships in Osaka? Then Brother Jian, why don't you believe that after three years of hard work, the four of us can't appear together at the Beijing Olympics in three years? ”

"Xianfeng, three years is too long, I was 33 years old at that time, and most of it will become a burden for everyone." Liu Haijian smiled bitterly, this is the real reason why he chose to retire, he doesn't want to become a burden on the team because of his unknown state.

"No, Brother Jian, you are definitely not a burden, although we don't usually say it, but only you are our spiritual leader, whenever you appear, Zhang Jiakai and Cheng Xiang will become more serious, and the other little athletes in the team are training more seriously."

"When you say that, I still feel a little cold-faced." Liu Haijian smiled, "Xianfeng, you don't need to persuade you anymore, maybe I will stay in the national team as an assistant coach or something after I retire, isn't this arranged yet?" Besides, sooner or later, you will replace me as the spiritual leader of the Huaguo Sprint Team, and that day will never be far away. ”

Liu Haijian wanted to turn around and leave after speaking, but his back was a little gloomy.

"Wait!" Li Xianfeng stopped Liu Haijian again.

"Brother Jian, how many do you think I will win in the World Championships?" Li Xianfeng led the topic to himself.

"The top three should be fine, of course it's better to win the gold medal." Although Liu Haijian hoped that Li Xianfeng could win the gold medal, reason told him that it was already very good for Li Xianfeng to keep the top three.

Powell's new world record of 9.77 seconds and Gatlin's steady time of 9.85 seconds look so invincible, the World Championships are not like the Golden League, everyone will give their all, so with Li Xianfeng has not been able to break the 9.85 seconds yet, if you want to win, you can only pray for a miracle.

"Haha, Brother Jian, don't you think I'll win the gold medal?" Li Xianfeng smiled

"Well, any miracle can happen on the field, who knows?" Liu Haijian, who was recognized, replied a little embarrassed.

"Since Brother Jian, you also said that any miracle can happen on the field, why don't we make a bet?" Li Xianfeng's eyes lit up.

"Bet on what?" Liu Haijian couldn't keep up with Li Xianfeng's rhythm.

"If I win the World Championships, it means that there is really a miracle on the field, so it is not impossible for you to keep your form until 08."

Liu Haijian understood what Li Xianfeng meant, it was nothing more than saying that if he won the World Championships, he hoped that he would not retire, he thought about it and was about to refute, but Li Xianfeng spoke first, "Brother Jian, don't be in a hurry to refute first, anyway, it's only half a year before the World Championships, you have been in the national team for so long, are you still missing this half a year?" ”

Li Xianfeng has already said this, and Liu Haijian has no reason to refute it anymore, so he can only nod in agreement, and to be honest, he also wants to see if Li Xianfeng can create a miracle.

"But Xianfeng, I don't want you to be under pressure because of this so-called gambling contract, just do your best." Liu Haijian said calmly.

"Don't worry, Brother Jian, I will create a miracle in Osaka, and we will also create a miracle in Beijing together!" After Li Xianfeng finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Haijian to refute, he turned around and ran to Cheng Xiang and Zhang Jiakai.

"Not leaving?" Liu Bin looked at Liu Haijian in front of him with a smile.

"I won't leave for the time being, because I want to see with my own eyes whether Xianfeng can create a miracle." When it comes to the word miracle, Liu Haijian's eyes are exceptionally bright.
