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

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

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

"I'm busy, what's going on." Director Ma spoke.

"Yes." Zhang Guan originally wanted to talk to Director Ma about something else first, brewing a topic, but when he heard Director Ma say this, he said directly: "Director Ma, the coach of the middle distance running, can you not send it to me first." ”

"Why?" Director Ma immediately asked.

"It's not like there's no time. I have to train for sprinting, I have to train for long jump, strength, endurance and so on, and I have limited energy alone, so 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, I began to say that my energy was limited. Knowing that your energy is limited, you have to shout about going to the middle distance run to participate in the Asian Games a few days ago? How? Ready to give up? ”

"I didn't mean that, I had to keep playing, I just didn't feel like I had that much time to work on so many things." Zhang Guan replied.

"Racing and not training? I said your kid's brain is rusty! Director Ma said angrily: "If athletes don't improve their level through usual training, how can they achieve good results during the competition." I said that your kid's ideological understanding can be corrected, your talent can be said to be the first in the world, but it does not mean that you don't need to work hard, there is a saying how to say, success is to 99% of the sweat and 1% of the talent, especially in our sports circle, the physical talent is good enough, but because of not training hard and sinking down There are countless examples. It's like ......"

Director Ma began to talk at length as he spoke, he was afraid that Zhang Guan would be confused by the good results, and he would not work hard to train in the future.

When Director Ma's tirade was nearing the end, Zhang Guan said: "Director Ma, I understand what you said, I'm just thinking, let's slow down the middle-distance running training first, and the rest of the training will be as usual." I've thought about it myself these days, and I think it's best to focus on sprinting in the future. If you run the middle distance, you can participate in a race if you have a race, and if you don't have a race, you will put it first. ”

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

Director Ma didn't think that Zhang Guan could cope with so many competitions at the same time, so at that time, Zhang Guan participated in the middle running race, Director Ma was extremely disagreeable, 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 would never let Zhang Guan go to participate in the middle distance run of the Asian Games. And now I listen to Zhang Guan say this. Director Ma thought that Zhang Guan had figured it out, and couldn't help but wonder who did the ideological work for Zhang Guan.

I only heard Director Ma half-jokingly say: "In this case, don't participate in the middle distance run of the Asian Games, just do the three sprint events and the long jump run." ”

"Don't. Anyway, I've signed up, so it's good for me to go and see it for a long time. Zhang Guan said.

……

In the following days, Zhang Guan resumed his daily training life, repeating and repeating every day. Dry and boring. More than a month has passed.

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

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

As soon as the inaugural meeting of the delegation ended, Zhang Guan was invited by the staff of the delegation headquarters to a small conference room, where he met with the delegation's secretary general, 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 many specific matters are in charge of Secretary-General Chu.

After taking a seat, I only heard Secretary-General Chu speak: "Zhang Guan, I came to you mainly for something, I want to ask for my personal opinion. ”

"Shouldn't I be allowed to break the record again?" Zhang Guan thought so in his heart, but said on his lips: "Please instruct the Secretary-General." ”

"Don't be nervous, it's not about any instructions or not, just ask for opinions." Secretary-General Chu continued: "This time to the Doha Asian Games, our delegation is the largest number of people, the largest team, and the opening ceremony, as usual, to form a team, the team needs a flag bearer, our group discussed for a long time, I think you must be the most suitable candidate, but we take into account the competition schedule, the track and field competition will not start until the second week, if you go to Doha too early, it will definitely delay your training." Therefore, the regimental headquarters wants to ask for your personal opinion, if you want to be a standard-bearer, then the standard-bearer must be you; If you are worried that your training will be delayed, the regimental headquarters will find someone else. ”

When Secretary-General Chu said this, he thought for a few seconds, and then said with a kind face: "This is not a hard-boiled task, so you don't have to worry. If you are really afraid of affecting your training, let's be honest, after all, you need to participate in several competitions, and training is also very important to you, so our regimental headquarters will definitely understand. ”

Zhang Guan's mind thought quickly. Although the Asian Games are not as good as the Olympic Games, they are also a sports event every four years, and at least in Asia, the attention is still very high. For an athlete who eats the meal of youth, how many four years are there in life? Getting a chance to be the flag bearer of the national team is definitely something to brag about in a lifetime.

For this kind of limelight thing, Zhang Guan has always been more enthusiastic. So Zhang Guan said without hesitation: "Thank you for the trust of the Youth League Department, and I am very willing to serve as the flag bearer of the delegation." ”

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

"Actually, I have been the flag bearer of the delegation for a long time, and I was very envious of Da Yao when I watched Da Yao be the flag bearer of the Athens Olympics two years ago, and now I have this opportunity. I'm definitely going to work for it. Zhang Guan said.

"Well, in that case, the standard-bearer has set 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, and the flag bearer must of course choose athletes with a big name and a good image. And if Zhang Guan is unwilling to be the standard-bearer, the regiment headquarters will find another person, which will be much worse, and Secretary General Chu also hopes that Zhang Guan can participate, so he talked to Zhang Guan in person.

……

Saudi Arabia. Athletics Training Center.

Since the end of the World Cup in Athletics, Alku Validi seems to have completely lost his sense of competition and his form has been declining, losing to his teammates Ben Mazouk and Alshaba in the last two months of intra-squad practice.

And in today's practice session, Walidi lost again, with six attempts, three fouls, and one failure. The other two best scores just reached 7.9m. And two of his teammates, Ben Mazouk and Al Shaba, both jumped over the 8.3-meter mark.

Standing on the bench in the lounge area, Validi looked decadent. It's like a child who has done something wrong.

"Vallidi, what's wrong with you lately? Since I came back from the Athletics World Cup, I seem to have changed as a person. Arshaba stepped closer and spoke.

Walidi was about to answer. I saw Ben Mazuk also come over and speak: "Alku was scared by Zhang Guan!" ”

"What did you say!" Walidi jerked to his feet and stared at Mazouk with an angry expression. Make a posture that wants to beat someone.

"Am I not right? I remember that before the Athletics World Cup, some people vowed to defeat Zhang Guan and regain the Asian record, but now? You can't even jump eight meters! Mazouk looked at Validi with disdain.

"Humph! I didn't defeat Zhang Guan, that's because Zhang Guan is so strong that even Saladino is not his opponent! Don't talk cool here, you can try it! Validi spoke.

"You're really right, this time in the Doha Asian Games, I'm going for the championship!" Mazuk said very angrily.

"Just you?" Walidi exhaled disdainfully, and continued: "At best, you can jump to 8.4 meters, but Zhang Guan is a person who can jump 8.6 meters, and with a gap of more than 20 centimeters, you can't win!" ”

"Not necessarily, it depends on the performance on the spot! Zhang Guan is just in good form by chance, do you think he can jump 8.6 meters in every race? Marzuk continued: "Besides, I'm not the only one who wants to challenge Zhang Guan, and Al is also ready to challenge Zhang Guan in the 400m event!" Right, Al? ”

Mazouk told another athlete across the bench that his name was Al-Bish, the strongest 400m runner in Saudi Arabia, and of course he was a naturalized African athlete.

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, it will be a fight to become famous!" 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 possible, but Zhang Guan's 400m is much stronger than the long jump, and he is the 400m world record holder." Validi spoke.

"The biggest role of a world record is to be broken! I'm not alone, just take a look at this latest sports magazine! Al-Bish handed Walidi a copy of the sports magazine.

It's an English-language magazine from another country, but Validi's English is fairly good, so he can read it.

Validi flipped through it casually and just happened to see a big title.

"Interview with Indian Flyer Matthews Binu: Will Defeat Zhang Guan at the Asian Games!" 》

"Indian flyer? There are still flyers in India? Is this a joke? What a jumping clown! As Walidi thought of this, he looked at his teammates Ben Mazouk and Al-Bish.

"Maybe in Zhang Guan's opinion, we are all clowns jumping off the beam!" (To be continued.) )
