Chapter Eighty-Eight: Intra-Team Tryouts

The conference room in the center of the North Exit was lively again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This meeting is still presided over by Zhao Shuren, the head coach of the national track and field team, but compared with a few days ago, Zhao Shuren's face is not so good-looking.

"This is too unusual, what is Lin Feixiang thinking in his head? Go to Qatar to compete, he dares to say this kind of big talk! Doesn't he know how embarrassing it would be if he failed miserably! Zhao Shuren said angrily and slapped the table suddenly.

"Coach Zhao, don't be angry, it is estimated that the parameter application was not approved this time, Lin Feixiang is a little unbalanced in his heart!" Coach Fang Jun opened his mouth to persuade.

"If your heart is unbalanced, can you talk nonsense? He clearly deliberately let off the wind to the media in order to participate in the competition! He's forcing the palace! At noon today, the calls of the Qataris all came to my mobile phone, asking Lin Feixiang what special requirements he had in terms of appearance fees! There are also leaders of the General Administration, who also called to be concerned, how do you let me answer! Zhao Shuren pointed to his mobile phone and said.

"The hype in the media has already stirred up the topic, and now it's too late for those media not to report it, and the people in China are also looking forward to Lin Feixiang's return. If Lin Feixiang is not allowed to participate in the competition this time, I'm afraid there will be some trouble! If the people knew that Lin Feixiang's application for the competition was not approved, it would definitely be on our heads. The common people and no distinction between what is indiscriminate. An old and serious coach spoke.

"Tell me, what are we going to do? Could it be true that Lin Feixiang went to Qatar? Zhao Shuren said, looked at Ding Jihai again, and said in a stern tone: "Coach Ding, Lin Feixiang is your disciple, and this quota also belongs to your 110-meter hurdles, you can talk about it, what should I do now?" ”

Ding Jihai knew that it was difficult for him to ride a tiger, and if he didn't tell the reason, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain it.

Ding Jihai cleared his throat and said: "I think it's better to do this, let's follow the old rules before, hold an intra-team selection competition, let some young athletes participate, everyone competes fairly, speaks with results, whoever wins the first place will go to the competition." In this way, whether it is to the media or to the people, there is an explanation. ”

After all, sports still speak with strength, and it is not new to hold a trial before the competition. For example, the U.S. track and field team often has a situation where the previous champion or world record holder cannot participate in the Olympics because the athlete loses the domestic trials.

If Lin Feixiang loses in the team's tryouts, then the track and field team has plenty of excuses to face the media public.

Zhao Shuren's eyes lit up suddenly, he was also dazed, he didn't even think of this move, only to see him pat his head and say: "The team selection competition, this is a good idea, it's decided!" ”

……

After all, Lin Feixiang is the most dazzling star in the track and field team, and his every move is highly watched, so Lin Feixiang's application for the competition was quickly known by everyone.

The most affected person is undoubtedly Dong Teng.

Dong Teng is one year younger than Lin Feixiang and is second only to Lin Feixiang in the domestic men's 110-meter hurdles. However, there is still a lot of gap between his strength and Lin Feixiang at the peak, Lin Feixiang not only holds many world championships, but also is a world record holder, and Dong Teng's best result is the bronze medal in the international track and field Grand Prix, such as the World Championships in track and field, Dong Teng only entered the finals, and in the Olympic Games, Dong Teng stopped in the semifinals.

But it is undeniable that Dong Teng is the best 110-meter hurdles athlete in Asia except for Lin Feixiang. Especially after Lin Feixiang fell, Dong Teng took up the position of the first brother of Huaguo's 110-meter hurdles, and the training resources of the national team also began to favor Dong Teng. Dong Teng has worked hard enough, and in the past two years, his results have made great progress, although he is not as good as Lin Feixiang back then, but he also has the ability to compete with top international players.

At this time, Dong Teng already knew that Lin Feixiang had submitted an application for the competition, and also knew that the team was going to have a test match to decide the quota for Qatar.

……

"Brother Dong, you must have won, Lin Feixiang has been training in waste for the past two years, and this time he didn't even succeed in plateau training, with his current strength, even I can win him."

"Lin Feixiang still thinks that he is in the same state as he was back then, it's not good for him to continue to mess around like that, anyway, for advertising endorsements, the team won't do anything to him!"

"Lin Feixiang was so seriously injured back then, his Achilles tendon was torn, even if he recovered, it would be impossible to regain his original speed and explosiveness."

"I think it's a good thing to have an intra-team tryout. Lin Feixiang is so famous outside, the people who don't know still think that he is still the same Lin Feixiang back then, and they must all support him to go to Qatar. If you pass the tryouts, you can just stop the mouths of the people. ”

Dong Teng was surrounded by several athletes, all of whom supported Dong Teng, and his contempt for Lin Feixiang was revealed in his words.

This is what the athlete's circle looks like, whoever is strong and who has great ability, everyone will obey whomever they want. At that time, Lin Feixiang was also followed by a large group of younger brothers behind his buttocks, but later Lin Feixiang's negative training performance attracted everyone's contempt.

If Lin Feixiang can train very seriously and hard, even if he can't achieve the original good results, he will still be respected by the athletes. Everyone trains together every day, and whoever works hard and who doesn't work hard will be seen in their eyes. It's like when you go to school, the top students will be sought after, the scumbags will be looked down upon, and those who work very hard, even if their grades are not so outstanding, will be respected by their classmates.

But Lin Feixiang gave up on himself, coupled with the various privileges he enjoyed, it is normal for him to be unpopular in the track and field team, and many athletes who train hard see Lin Feixiang like this, not to mention it on the surface, but in private they all look down on Lin Feixiang. Even some people are still looking forward to Dong Teng replacing Lin Feixiang as soon as possible, so that this guy who has no use for passive training can get out of here quickly!

Dong Teng, who was surrounded by everyone in the middle, didn't say a word.

Dong Teng's career trajectory is similar to Lin Feixiang's. Dong Teng, a former triple jumper, later switched to the 110m hurdles, Dong Teng began to make a name for himself in the youth competition, he once won the runner-up in the 110m hurdles at the World Youth Athletics Championships, and ranked first in the world in the youth competition ranking that year.

In the same year that Dong Teng won the runner-up in the World Youth Championships, Lin Feixiang also won the World University Games championship. At that time, the two seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact, Dong Teng had never defeated Lin Feixiang in the arena.

The following year, Lin Feixiang broke the Asian record in the 110-meter hurdles, which also became a watershed between the two, and since then, Lin Feixiang has been out of control, winning gold in the Olympic Games, breaking the world record, winning the Grand Slam, and becoming the world's first person in the 110-meter hurdles.

And although Dong Teng has also made certain achievements, in front of Lin Feixiang, he can only be regarded as a firefly than Haoyue, and he is completely covered by Lin Feixiang's light. When it comes to the 110-meter hurdles, people only think of Lin Feixiang, and he, Dong Teng, is just a supporting role that will be mentioned inadvertently.

In the past two years, Lin Feixiang has been willing to fall, but Dong Teng has been training harder and harder. Dong Teng knew that his talent was not as good as Lin Feixiang, but he could only make up for it by training harder. He has put in several times the efforts of ordinary people, and he has also been rewarded.

But Dong Teng was not satisfied, the ultimate goal in his heart was to defeat Lin Feixiang.

Two athletes of the same age, even their growth trajectories are similar, but Lin Feixiang is like a mountain, pressing in front of Dong Teng, making him insurmountable, and the three words "Lin Feixiang" have even become Dong Teng's inner demons.

Dong Teng knew that if he couldn't defeat Lin Feixiang, he wouldn't be able to cross that threshold, and he challenged Lin Feixiang again and again in the game, but he missed again and again until Lin Feixiang was injured.

Then Lin Feixiang began to train passively, and even Dong Teng knew that Lin Feixiang was abolished and could never return to the arena, and he never had a chance to challenge Lin Feixiang again.

Dong Teng was disappointed and regretful, he felt like a warrior who was advancing bravely on the battlefield, but suddenly lost the trace of the enemy.

And now, after waiting for more than two years, Dong Teng has finally waited for the opportunity to challenge Lin Feixiang again - the team selection competition!

At this time, recalling the experience of the past few years, Dong Teng couldn't help but feel a strong fighting spirit in his heart: "Lin Feixiang, this time, I will definitely defeat you!" ”
