"Liu Bin? Why did he let Lee Hsien Feng not participate in the training camp? Do you still want Huaguo Relay to enter the World Championships? Chen Lao came to Liu Bin's office early in the morning, slapped the table fiercely, and the spittle flew to Liu Bin's face.

"Hehe, Old Chen, sit down first, don't be angry, don't be angry." Liu Bin wiped his face, hurriedly opened the chair for Chen Lao, and took the initiative to brew the tea and handed it to Chen Lao.

"Don't fix all this, I'll tell you Liu Bin, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll go home now!" Chen Lao didn't buy it, and was still angry.

"Oh, my old man, don't be angry, you listen to my explanation." Liu Bin said cautiously, "You admit that Li Xianfeng is a genius that our sprint team has not met for decades, right?" ”

"Of course I admit it! If it weren't for Li Xianfeng, we wouldn't even be able to win the gold medal in the Asian Games. Chen Lao nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I pulled Li Xianfeng to train!" The relay team still has a lot of potential to tap! After a few months of training, you may be able to hit the top six in the World Championships! Even the top four! ”

"Yes, you're right, but the best case scenario is just to hit the top four, right? can Li Xianfeng's current strength, if he has been concentrating on training 100 meters, he has the possibility of impacting a higher goal!

But if we let Li Xianfeng spend too much energy on the relay, it will inevitably affect his 100 training, you must know that Powell just broke the world record in 9.77 seconds in June, and Gatlin also rushed to 9.81,82 seconds several times, and now Li Xianfeng still has a big gap with them! ”

"Do you mean to give up the relay and let Li Xianfeng prepare for the 100 meters wholeheartedly?" Old Chen narrowed his eyes, and his tone softened slightly.

"Of course not! That's how Chen Lao, we have an athlete named Hu Kai, who is very similar to Li Xianfeng's style in the first half of the race, I want him to replace Li Xianfeng and train with others first, and wait until half a month before the competition, we are letting Li Xianfeng join the joint training, so as not to delay Li Xianfeng's personal training, and not to delay our relay team training, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"Hmph, how can it be as simple as you say? Who can replace Li Xianfeng? Chen Lao said stubbornly

"Of course, Li Xianfeng is no one to replace him in our team, so we have to let him chase his dreams? Don't you want to see the birth of another Liu Xiang at the World Championships? Liu Bin said emotionally.

Chen Lao and Liu Bin looked at each other for a while, and finally Chen Lao sighed first, "Let me see the little guy named Hu Kai first." ”

Li Xianfeng's 100-meter training time was finally saved by Liu Bin, and Li Xianfeng did not live up to Liu Bin's trust, winning the silver medal in Berlin in November with a time of 9.89 seconds, and winning the gold medal in Manchester in early December with a time of 9.86 seconds, suddenly becoming a hot athlete in the world sprinting field, and the Western media also used the title of three musketeers to describe the three most outstanding sprinters in 2005.

"Why, Jiakai, you look a little nervous?" On the plane to London, the venue of the Golden League's year-end finals, Li Xianfeng joked about Zhang Jiakai, who had a serious face next to him.

"No, no, I'm just a little airsick!" Zhang Jiakai blushed and stumbled to explain.

"Well, I believe it!" Li Xianfeng smiled and did not expose Zhang Jiakai's lies, you must know that Zhang Jiakai has to fly all over the country every year, how can he get airsick.

"Everyone still looks relaxed." Liu Bin observed everyone's expressions, except for Zhang Jiakai's slightly unnatural expression, the remaining three were very relaxed.

"If we play normally, with our results, it should be no problem to advance, but will there be a problem with Li Xianfeng's physical strength?" After half a month of intensive training, the results of the Huaguo team have been able to stabilize at about 39 seconds, and often reach 38.9 seconds, 38.8 seconds, such results can fully cope with the small preliminaries, but according to the organizer's schedule, less than half an hour after the end of the men's 100-meter race, it is a relay race, which is a test of Li Xianfeng's physical fitness, and Chen Lao is most worried about this.

"Xianfeng's physical fitness should be no problem, after all, the Golden League only runs one shot, and I believe he can adjust well." Liu Bin has always been very confident in Li Xianfeng.

"Let's hope everything goes well." Chen Lao nodded, but he always felt a little unsteady in his heart.

“Om God！ Gatlin won the year-end finals with a time of 9.81 seconds! Powell, the new world record holder, ran a time of 9.84 seconds to finish second, and Huaguo kid Li Xianfeng played mediocre and won a bronze medal with a time of 9.89 seconds.

Congratulations to Gatlin for a perfect end to the season! In the second half of the year, Powell's world record and Li Xianfeng's gold and silver won all impacted the hegemony of the American men's 100 meters, but fortunately, Gatlin withstood the pressure and won the championship in the year-end finals, which finally made the American hosts breathe a sigh of relief.

"How do you show your edge? Tired or not? As soon as Li Xianfeng walked to the lounge, Liu Bin and Yuan Chengcheng came up and asked with concern.

"No problem, the final didn't consume too much of my physical strength!" Li Xianfeng said calmly that he deliberately gave up the competition for the gold medal for tonight's relay, just to ensure his physical strength to bring the Huaguo relay team into Osaka.

"The race is over, and the Huaguo relay team is in seventh place, only missing out on next year's World Championships in Osaka." Li Jian's voice was as low as his mood, because such a result was something that no one expected.

At the scene in London, the four young men also cried silently.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Zhang Jiakai knelt on the ground to hide his face and cry, when he and Cheng Xiang made a mistake in the handover and the baton fell to the ground, his tears had already rushed to his eyes, he was extremely remorseful, hating why he didn't slow down during the handover.

"Can you do it all over again? Can you make a run for us? Cheng Xiang shouted in his heart, tears already filling his face.

"Maybe it's time for me to retire." Liu Haijian shook his head bitterly, he held his breath after the Athens Olympics, and his desperate training kept him in good shape, and he has maintained the second place in China. But he is already a veteran in his thirties, and the gradual aging of his body makes him more and more unable to compete on the field, and this time he failed to enter the World Championships, I am afraid it is time to say goodbye.

"It's really unpleasant." Although Li Xianfeng tried his best to catch up, he could only watch the sixth place hit the line in front of him, which was really painful.

Li Xianfeng tried his best to raise his head and not let tears flow out of his eyes, but whenever he remembered the efforts of himself and his teammates these days, the sourness in his heart made the tears finally gush out like a spring.

"Nope! I don't want to fail like this! What is lost, we must get it back! ”
