"Indian flyer? Is it the kind of circus that uses small cannons to shoot out? What kind of guys are they, cats and dogs are going to challenge me. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Director Yu glanced at the photos published in the magazine and said: "This person's name is Matthews Binu, an Indian 400-meter sprinter, don't underestimate him, he has participated in the semi-finals of the Athens Olympics, and it is estimated that the best time can reach 45 seconds!" ”

Zhang Guan shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't have any impression." I remember that India seems to only play cricket, when did such a track and field athlete come out? ”

Director Yu thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are still some good track and field athletes in India, especially the 400-meter sprint, which is the strength of the Indians, probably only slightly worse than Japan." ”

"Is the 400-meter dash your strength?" Zhang Guan suddenly remembered a news in later generations, saying that a female champion of the 400-meter dash in India was a transgender player.

"Actually, when I was younger, the level of sports in India was quite good, and there were some excellent athletes in various sports, but many of them were born during the British colonial period." Director Yu said and took the magazine in Zhang Guan's hand, and continued: "Don't pay attention to these tabloids, before a competition like the Asian Games, many athletes have also begun to hype themselves, you are now the world's most well-known track and field athlete, naturally some people use your fame to hype themselves, Indians just boast of a higher level, and when you arrive in Qatar, maybe you can see more similar news." ”

"I understand, the king of the mouth. All of them are making headlines with me! Zhang Guan smiled and asked, "To be honest, I really don't know much about 400-meter sprinters from other Asian countries. After all, in the international arena before, I have never met an Asian 400m athlete at all. Is there anything special about them that needs attention? ”

"The 400-meter level of Asian athletes is generally not as good as that of Europe and the United States, and in the previous East Asian Games, you also competed with the Japanese, and that Kanemaru Yuzo is the strongest level in East Asia. West Asia is slightly stronger than East Asia, Saudi Arabia, Colwill, Qatar, and Iran all have Olympic A-level players, among which the strongest should be regarded as Saudi Arabia, all of which are naturalized African athletes. There's really nothing you need to pay special attention to, but if you meet a black player. Just pay a little attention, the blacks are all naturalized from Africa, and they are stronger than the local Asian players. Yu Gui said.

"Speaking of the Naturalization Corps, I suddenly remembered a person, that Samel Francis, the same Nigerian I met at the last Athletics Super Grand Prix in Doha, has he become a Qatari citizen now?" Zhang Guan asked suddenly.

"I haven't heard of this yet, but even if she is naturalized in Qatar, she will not be able to participate in this year's competition according to the rules. It is estimated that it will not be until 2007 to represent Qatar in international competitions. Yu Gui explained.

……

The Doha Asian Games are about to start, and for the media, they also have an extra focus to chase, and this time the Asian Games are hosted in Qatar, so the media in West Asian countries are the most enthusiastic about the coverage of the Doha Asian Games.

At this time. Rabah, the editor of Gulf Flowers, is preparing a warm-up report for the Asian Games in Qatar.

"At the Asian Games, China, Japan and South Korea almost won most of the gold medals, and all the gold medals won by all the countries in West Asia are definitely not as good as one China. The strong projects of China, Japan and South Korea will be mentioned in one stroke. Let's write about the projects we are good at. Rabah thought as he entered the website of the Doha Asian Games.

"Athletics is still the number one sport, and Chinese and Japanese athletics are still very strong in Asia. Originally, we in the Gulf countries naturalized some African players. can win a gold medal in the sprint event, but China has a crown, the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters of the world records have been completed, the world record holder came to participate in the Asian Games, it seems that the gold medal in the sprint event must be Zhang Guan. By the way, I heard that Zhang Guan also won a long jump world championship a few days ago, maybe the champion of the long jump this time will also be won by Zhang Guan! ”

With a click of the mouse, Rabach skipped the first few sprints and found the middle distance run.

"Middle distance running has always been the strong point of our West Asian country, and this championship is definitely still our West Asian country, so I guess the Bahrainis should be very promising. Let's focus on the middle distance events, analyze and analyze the championship situation in the 800m and 1500m, and the audience will definitely enjoy watching it more. Rabach thought as he found the list of participants.

"Let me see who the men's 800m is competing in. Bahrain's Carmel, Ramzi and Ali all competed, Kuwait's Al Zemi, Iran's Mor Zehejae and Moodira, Qatar's Sulaiman and Bashar Najim, Saudi Arabia's Al Shalih, Japan's Mato Yokota and Naoto Suzuki, China's ...... What the? Zhang Guan! Rabach directly called out Zhang Guan's name.

"Let's have the same name!" Rabach immediately clicked on the athlete's information, and the photo showed that it was indeed Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan signed up for the 800m? I'm not dreaming! When did he start running the middle distance? Did the organizers make a mistake? Rabach's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't wait to open the search engine and search for "Zhang Guan 800 meters" on it.

Relevant content immediately appeared on the page, and the top headline was "Zhang Guan announces his upcoming entry into middle-distance running".

Rabah immediately clicked on the news, which is exactly some of the records of the interview with Zhang Guan after the Athletics World Cup.

"Zhang Guan said that he wanted to participate in the 800m and 1500m races of the Asian Games? But he's a sprinter! Rabah read the report carefully, and then immediately went to check the registration information for the 1500-meter run at the Doha Asian Games, and then he saw Zhang Guan's name again.

"Zhang Guan really participated in the 800m and 1500m races of the Asian Games! Such an important news, how did I not notice it before! Rabach thought a little annoyed, and then Labach continued to search for news related to Zhang Guan's participation in the middle distance run, and found that the only information circulating on the Internet was the interview after the Athletics World Cup, and there was no other information.

The impact of the Athletics World Cup is far less than that of the World Championships in Athletics, and many countries don't even bother to report if they don't have their own athletes, and if their competitors don't achieve results, there will be at most just a newsletter, and everyone cares more about the final results, and how many people pay attention to the post-competition interview.

Of course, if Rabach uses a Chinese search website to search for Chinese, he will definitely find news that Zhang Guan broke the 800-meter and 1500-meter national records, but Rabach uses a foreign search website, but the search is still in English, naturally Zhang Guan's domestic competition situation cannot be found.

"This is big news! Zhang Guan, the king of sprinting, will compete in the Asian Games middle distance running! It's exciting to think about. Headlines, this is sure to make today's sports headlines! Rabach thought excitedly.

……

Bahrain.

Bella Mansor Ali rushed into the lounge and said, "What you said a few days ago turned out to be true, Zhang Guan signed up for the middle distance running competition in this Asian Games!" ”

Ali put an Arabic newspaper on the table, and Carmel next to him immediately picked it up, read it hurriedly, and then said in surprise: "Zhang Guan really signed up?" I thought he was just talking in the interview! ”

Rashid Ramz on the side showed an expression that he had already expected, and then said: "I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate Zhang Guan's determination, an athlete of his level, once he has a goal, he will definitely do it." ”

"Take it easy, Rashid." Carmel casually threw it to Ramz, and continued: "If you look at the professional sports commentary in the back, they are not optimistic about Zhang Guan, so I think this Asian Games in Doha is a good opportunity for us to beat Zhang Guan." Although it is a mid-run event, it should be a wonderful thing to beat the world's No. 1 flyer! Don't forget that I am the 800m champion of this Athletics World Cup, and I will tell Zhang Guan with reality that the middle distance running event is not something he can touch. ”

As Carmel said, at this time, the sports media in West Asia sang about Zhang Guan's voice, and there were many people who questioned Zhang Guan's middle-distance running level, and it was not for nothing that Zhang Guan directly said that he was inadequate. Some sports professionals even used the "persuasion stream" and directly and publicly expressed the hope that Zhang Guan could withdraw from the Asian Games middle-distance running competition.

In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand, middle-distance running has always been the traditional strength of West Asian countries, and before that, even Japan, an Asian track and field powerhouse, was far inferior to West Asian runners in middle-distance running. Now that Zhang Guan wants to enter this field, he will definitely encounter a lot of doubts and resistance.

For example, one day the tennis king Federer announced that he was going to come to China to play table tennis, the first impression of the Chinese people must be that Federer is funny, although you are the king of tennis, but come to China to play table tennis is not looking for abuse? And if Federer really appears on the table tennis field, I believe everyone will think that any second-tier player of the national team can beat Federer.

At present, the middle runners in West Asia are also in this kind of mentality, everyone thinks that you are a sprinter, even if you are the king of sprinting in the world, but to participate in the middle distance running event of the Asian Games, you are also looking for abuse.
