Yokohama, Japan.

"You look tired." Zhang Guan said to Liu Feiren beside him.

Liu Feiren nodded: "I came back on the 16th, I gave a day off on the 17th, and I started training on the 18th, and I only trained for three days, so I came to Japan." When I go back, I have to participate in the finals of the National Athletics Grand Prix. Fortunately, there are no big competitions after the finals until the end of the year, so you can take a good rest and adjust your state by the way. ”

"yes, it feels like you're a lot busier than I am. I just recorded a song and made a commercial, and I didn't leave the city, unlike you running all over China. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"I want to train steadily, but there are some activities that I can't refuse!" Liu Feiren approached Zhang Guan and asked in a low voice, "You really set up your own agent team?" ”

Zhang Guan nodded: "Well, I almost fought with the association for this matter." ”

Liu Feiren glared at Zhang Guan with envy, and said: "I thought it was fake at first when you set up an agent team, but later I learned that it was true." I really didn't expect the center to allow you to set up your own team of brokers. But I've heard that the little prince of diving is about to fall out with the swimming association because of his agent. ”

In fact, the positions of both sides can be understood on this matter. No matter which association definitely doesn't want its athletes to go solo, after all, it is not easy to train a champion athlete. And athletes also know that they eat youth, so they all hope to make more money while they are young, otherwise the best result after retirement will only be in the second half of their lives in public institutions. Zhang Guan said

"Yes, the image of the little prince of diving is not bad, even if he is not an athlete in the future, he can still be an actor or something. As long as you are always under the lens of the media, you will definitely be able to earn money, which is better than eating dead wages. Liu Feiren said.

"It's not easy to be an actor, you are scolded for your poor acting, you are scolded for your bad play, and sometimes you have to be scolded when you are popular." Zhang Guan looked at Liu Feiren as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Guy, I see that you look good, you can be an actor after retiring, I am optimistic about you!" ”

"Huh, retirement? It's still early! I'm ready to run until I'm 40 years old. Liu Feiren said with a smile.

Liu Feiren's words made Zhang Guan feel a little emotional, he remembered that when Liu Feiren announced his retirement, his expression was so desolate and helpless, and he cried so sadly. Before he knew him, Zhang Guan would also feel that he might be performing on purpose, but after getting to know him, Zhang Guan knew how much Liu Feiren loved hurdles, and there was always a champion's heart hidden in his body.

At this time, the car slowed down, obviously the destination was about to arrive, Zhang Guan looked out the window and said, "Okay, don't mention this, it's almost there." The reporter will be interviewed in a while, so think about how to deal with the reporter first! ”

……

The official broadcaster of this year's Yokohama IAAF All-Star Game is TBS TV, so Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren will be interviewed by TBS before the race.

This kind of interview must have been communicated in advance, and when Zhang Guan took over the interview outline, he saw about a dozen questions. I asked mainly about winning the Athens Olympics, but also a few questions about my personal life and impressions of Japan. Zhang Guan felt that although there was a lot of content in the outline, they were all routine issues, such as the Olympic championship and personal life issues, he had been interviewed dozens of times in China, and he would have memorized it a long time ago, and the problem of his impression of Japan was nothing more than a few polite words, reciting a complimentary polite remark, and changing the name of which country he went to.

But near the end of the interview, an accident happened, and the TBS host asked a question that was not part of the outline.

"Zhang Guan, do you oppose doping?" The moderator asked.

For athletes, any question about doping is like throwing a bombshell, and the host must be implicit when he asks this question, and he can figure out with his ass that TBS is not well-intentioned.

Zhang Guan didn't expect the host to ask questions beyond the outline, and this is the first time he has encountered someone asking him about doping.

Zhang Guan did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Of course I am firmly against the use of doping!" As an athlete, I train hard to make progress, and if someone uses some unethical means to get good results, it is definitely unfair. ”

"So if there was a potion that could improve your score to within 9.7 seconds or 9.6 seconds, would you drink it?" The host asked nonrelentingly.

"Definitely not." Zhang Guan was a little annoyed by this impolite host, and he couldn't help but say: "Less than 9.6 seconds is definitely a never-to-be-achievable result for a Japanese player, after all, there is no 10-second run among Japanese players, so in your mind, you need to use doping to achieve it." But for me, 9.6 seconds is not out of reach, and I may be able to do it under 9.6 seconds at some point in the future. ”

The host's face suddenly turned red, she didn't expect Zhang Guan's counterattack to be so sharp, it simply didn't give the Japanese a little face, she was very unconvinced, and was just about to ask another question, but Zhang Guan on the other side said first: "I know you will definitely question my answer, but don't forget, I am now the fastest person in the world, so if anyone can run under 9.6 seconds, I must be the most vocal person." ”

After Zhang Guan finished speaking, he deliberately pretended to look at his watch, then stood up and said at the same time: "Okay, the time is almost up, I think our interview can end here." ”

Looking at the back of Zhang Guan's departure, the host also breathed a sigh of relief. She has been in the circle for many years, of course, she doesn't know the rules, and she also knows that this time she can be regarded as offending Zhang Guan. However, before coming here, TBS received a verbal request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask Zhang Guan about doping and warm up the topic of doping a little.

……

Although the interview is over, Zhang Guan's mood is very bad, he feels that this Japanese host is a little too ignorant of the rules.

"Brother Liu, when you came to Japan to compete before, did the Japanese reporters look like this?" Zhang Guan asked.

Liu Feiren thought for a while, and then shook his head: "No, although they occasionally don't follow the order when they ask questions, and there are times when they ask questions beyond the interview outline, they never ask about doping." This kind of question is very sensitive, and under normal circumstances, no reporter would deliberately ask such a question. ”

For athletes, most of the questions asked by reporters about doping are alluded to, and under normal circumstances, reporters ask this kind of question, either because of a doping scandal that broke out in the recent past, or because the interviewed athletes are suspected of doping. But asking the question without warning is clearly a very disrespectful act that violates the underlying rules that sports journalists need to follow.

"TBS should be the official TV station that reports on it, and if they dare to ask such a question, it must have been instructed by the organizers, and it seems that the Japanese are not at ease!" A cold light flashed in Zhang Guan's eyes, but his mind began to quickly analyze what the purpose of the Japanese was doing this.

……

The U.S. team's Green and Gatlin were to arrive in Yokohama one step earlier.

"It's time to fight Zhang Guan again! It's finally time for revenge! I've been waiting for this day for almost a month! Green clenched his fists excitedly, his expression full of anticipation.

Since losing the Athens Olympics, Green has been holding his breath, he plans to find Zhang Guan for revenge, but Zhang Guan did not participate in competitions such as the IAAF Grand Prix, if Green wants to fight Zhang Guan again, I am afraid that he will have to wait until next year, for the hot-tempered Green, of course, he is not willing to wait until next year, so when he heard about the Yokohama All-Star Game, he couldn't wait to participate, he wanted to compete with Zhang Guan.

Gatlin walked from not far away and said, "I just looked at the online votes, and your and I both have more than 40% support, while Zhang Guan is less than 10%. ”

"Voting on U.S. websites doesn't mean much. If you go to China to vote, I'm afraid that nine out of ten will vote for Zhang Guan. In the end, it is necessary to come to the competition field, and win or lose with strength! Green spoke.

"It's not just our American website, it's also the European media that's saying that." With that, Gatlin threw a few newspapers in front of Green.

"The new Olympic champion will meet Waterloo"

Is Zhang Guan's luck running out? The track and field all-star game ushered in the real test》

Survey: Eighty percent of Londoners think Zhang Guan is just a flash in the pan

"Parallel Olympic Champion? Can Zhang Guan prove his strength》

"Huh?" Green frowned, and he muttered, "What's going on?" None of these idiot media, athletes who can run in less than 9.8 seconds are parallel goods! Even if Zhang Guan is a yellow person, he doesn't dare to be so unoptimistic about him! ”

"Do you also feel that the direction of public opinion is not quite right?" Gatlin whispered: "Have you noticed that most of the British media are quoting British reports? ”

"British? What are those arrogant guys going to do? Green said puzzled.

Gatlin walked in and lowered his voice: "As far as I know, there is a British senior member of the IAAF named Sebastian, who is not very fond of Chinese athletes. ”

"Sebastian? What's the matter? Green asked.

"A Conservative politician who has served on the IOC and IAAF, and is one of the heads of the UK's bid to host the next Olympics. If London's bid is successful next year, he is likely to become the president of the London Organising Committee. ”
