Chapter 211 The Jumping Clown

Director Ma was processing the official documents at hand, when the cell phone rang, Director Ma looked at the caller ID, it was Zhang Guan calling.

"What's the matter with Zhang Guan?" Director Ma hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.

"Director Ma? I'm Zhang Guan." Zhang Guan said.

"I'm busy, tell me if you have anything to do." Director Ma said.

"En." Zhang Guan originally wanted to chat with Director Ma about other things first, to prepare the topic, but after hearing what Director Ma said, he said straightforwardly: "Director Ma, can the coach of the middle distance run first Don't send it to me."

"Why?" Director Ma asked immediately.

"It's not that I don't have time. I have to train for sprinting, long jump, strength, endurance and so on. I have limited energy alone, and I don't have enough time!" Zhang Guan replied.

"Hehe..." Director Ma suddenly laughed. He put down the document in his hand and said, "You also know that your energy is limited! What did you do earlier? At this time, you started to say that your energy is limited. Knowing that your energy is limited, a few days ago Do you still have to clamor to participate in the middle-distance running in the Asian Games? What? Are you going to give up?"

"I don't mean that. I have to continue to participate in the competition. I just don't think I have so much time to deal with so many trainings." Zhang Guan answered.

"Competition without training? I said your brain is rusted!" Director Ma said angrily: "Athletes don't improve their level through usual training, how can they achieve good results in competitions. I said Your kid’s thinking needs to be corrected. Your talent can be said to be the best in the world, but it doesn’t mean you don’t need to work hard. There is a saying that success requires ninety-nine percent sweat Adding one percent talent, especially in our sports circle, the physical talent is good enough, but there are countless examples of sinking because of not training hard, just like..."

As Director Ma talked, he began to talk at length. He was afraid that Zhang Guan would be confused by his good grades, and he would not train hard in the future.

When Director Ma's long speech was coming to an end, Zhang Guan said: "Director Ma, I understand what you said, I was just thinking, first slow down the middle-distance running training, and other training as usual. These days I I also thought about it myself, and I think it is best to focus on sprint events in the future. If there is a middle-distance race, I will take part in the competition, and if there is no competition, I will let it go."

"That's right, the focus is still on the sprint event!" Director Ma immediately agreed.

Director Ma did not think that Zhang Guan could handle so many events at the same time, so when Zhang Guan participated in the middle-distance running competition, Director Ma strongly disagreed, worried that Zhang Guan would be distracted, if he hadn't broken the national records of 800 meters and 1500 meters in a row , Director Ma will never let Zhang Guan go to participate in the middle distance running in the Asian Games. But now hearing what Zhang Guan said, Director Ma thought that Zhang Guan had figured it out, and couldn't help wondering who did the ideological work for Zhang Guan.

Director Ma said half-jokingly: "Since this is the case, then don't participate in the middle-distance running in the Asian Games. Just do well in the three sprint events and the long jump."

"Don't worry, I've signed up anyway, so I'll go and learn more." Zhang Guan said.

...

In the following days, Zhang Guan resumed his daily training life, repeating and repeating every day, which was boring and boring. Time passed like this for more than a month.

On November 17, the official results of the 2006 Doha Asian Games Chinese delegation, a total of 928 people, including 647 athletes, including 341 male athletes and 306 female athletes.

For the entire national team, the meaning of the Doha Asian Games is different from usual, because the Olympic Games will be held in the capital two years later, and before the Olympic Games, it is difficult to find such a large-scale and comprehensive sports event like the Doha Asian Games , so the Doha Asian Games is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the Chinese delegation to train their troops. Because of this, those players who will definitely compete in the next Olympic Games basically participated in this Asian Games.

Just after the inaugural meeting of the delegation was over, Zhang Guan was invited by the staff of the delegation headquarters to a small meeting room, where he met the secretary-general of the delegation, Chu.

Secretary-General Chu himself is also the leader of the General Administration. This time the national team went to Doha, he served as the deputy head and secretary-general. It can be said that Secretary-General Chu is in charge of many specific matters.

After sitting down, I only heard Secretary-General Chu say: "Zhang Guan, I came to you mainly because I have something to ask for my personal opinion."

"Should I be asked to break the record again!" Zhang Guan thought in his heart, but he said: "Please give instructions from the Secretary-General."

"Don't be nervous, it's not about giving instructions or not, just asking for opinions." Secretary-General Chu went on to say, "Our delegation is the largest and largest participating team in the Doha Asian Games this time. , and at the opening ceremony, as usual, we still need to form a square team. The square team needs a flag bearer. After discussing for a long time in our group, we think you must be the most suitable candidate. However, considering the competition schedule, the track and field competition will come soon It will only start in the second week. If you are sent to Doha too early, your training will definitely be delayed. Therefore, the regiment headquarters would like to ask for your personal opinion. If you want to be the flag bearer, you must be the flag bearer; If you are worried that training will be delayed, the regiment headquarters will find someone else."

When Secretary-General Chu said this, he thought for a few seconds, and then said kindly: "This is not a hard task, so you don't have to worry about it. If you are really afraid of affecting the training, just tell the truth. After all, you need to participate in several competitions, and training is also very important to you, so our regiment will definitely understand."

Zhang Guan thought quickly. Although the Asian Games is not comparable to the Olympic Games, it is also a four-year sports event, at least in Asia, the attention is still very high. How many four years are there in life for an athlete who eats youth? Being able to get a chance to be the flag bearer of the national team is definitely something worth showing off in your life.

For this kind of limelight, Zhang Guan has always been quite enthusiastic. So Zhang Guan said without hesitation: "Thanks to the regiment headquarters for trusting me, I am very willing to serve as the standard bearer of the delegation."

"Don't rush to answer so quickly, you can think about it first." Secretary-General Chu persuaded.

"Actually, I have been like being the flag bearer of the delegation for a long time. Two years ago, I saw Dayao as the flag bearer in the Athens Olympics. I was quite envious. Now that I have this opportunity, I must work hard for it." Zhang Guan said road.

"Well, since that's the case, the standard bearer will appoint you." Secretary-General Chu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it is the Olympic Games or the Asian Games, the opening ceremony is a place for various countries to show their style. Of course, the flag bearer must choose a well-known and well-known athlete. At present, Zhang Guan is undoubtedly the best candidate. And if Zhang Guan didn't want to be the standard bearer, the regiment headquarters would find someone else, which would be much less well-known. Secretary-General Chu also hoped that Zhang Guan could participate, so he talked with Zhang Guan in person.

...

Saudi Arabia, Athletics Training Center.

Since the end of the Athletics World Cup, Alku-Validi seems to have completely lost the feeling of the game, and his state has also declined all the way. In the last two months of team practice games, Alcu-Validi lost to his teammate Ben-Walidi one after another. Mazuk and Al-Shabah.

In today's practice match, Validi lost again, six attempts, three fouls, one failure, and the other two best results just reached 7.9 meters. Two of his teammates, Ben Mazuk and Al-Shabah, both cleared the 8.3m mark.

Standing on the bench in the rest area, Walidi looked decadent, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Walidi, what's going on with you recently? Since you came back from the Athletics World Cup, you seem to be a different person." Al Shaba walked up and said.

Just as Walidi was about to answer, Ben Mazuk also came over and said, "Alku was scared out of his wits by Zhang Guan!"

"What did you say!" Walidi stood up abruptly, staring at Mazuk angrily, as if he was about to beat someone up.

"Am I wrong? I remember some people vowed before the Athletics World Cup that they would defeat Zhang Guan and regain the Asian record, but now? They can't even jump eight meters!" Looking at Walidi with contempt.

"Hmph! I didn't defeat Zhang Guan, that's because Zhang Guan is powerful, even Saladino is no match for him! Don't make sarcastic remarks here, try it if you have the guts!" Walidi said.

"You're really right. This time in the Doha Asian Games, I'm aiming for the championship!" Mazuk said arrogantly.

"It's up to you?" Walidi exhaled disdainfully, and continued: "You can jump up to 8.4 meters at best, but Zhang Guan is the one who can jump 8.6 meters. The difference is more than 20 centimeters. Are you right?" Might win!"

"That's not necessarily the case, it depends on the on-the-spot performance! Zhang Guan is just in good condition occasionally. Do you think he can jump 8.6 meters in every game?" Ma Zuke continued: "Besides, if you want to challenge Zhang Guan I am not the only one who won the championship, Al is also going to challenge Zhang Guan in the 400-meter event! Right, Al?"

Mazuk told another athlete across the bench that his name was Al-Bish, and he was the strongest 400-meter athlete in Saudi Arabia. Of course, he was also a naturalized athlete from Africa.

Al-Bish stood up and walked over, and said, "Of course, of course I want to challenge Zhang Guan. If I can defeat Zhang Guan, I will become famous in one fight! The whole world will know my name!"

"Al, wake up, if we want to challenge Zhang Guan in the long jump, we may still be able to, but Zhang Guan's 400 meters is much better than the long jump. He is the world record holder in the 400 meters." Walidi said.

"The biggest function of the world record is to be broken! Besides, I am not the only one who thinks this way. You can read this latest sports magazine!" Al-Bish handed a sports magazine to Walidi.

It was an English-language magazine from another country, but Walidi's English was not bad, so he could understand it.

Walidi opened it casually, and just saw a big title.

"Interview with Indian flying man Matthews Binu: Will beat Zhang Guan in the Asian Games! "

"Indian flying people? There are flying people in India? Is this a joke? What a clown!" Walidi thought of this, and looked at his teammates Ben Mazuk and Al Bish.

"Perhaps in Zhang Guan's view, we are all clowns!"
