All-round Athlete

Chapter 94 The Disrespectful Interview

Yokohama, Japan.

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

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

"Yeah, it feels like you are much busier than me. I just recorded a song and shot a commercial, and I didn't leave the city, unlike you who run all over China." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

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

Zhang Guan nodded: "Well, I almost got into a fight with the association over this matter."

Liu Feiren stared at Zhang Guan enviously, and opened his mouth and said: "At first, I thought it was a fake thing about you forming a management team, but I found out later that it was true. I really didn't expect that the center would allow you to set up a management team." My own management team. But I heard that Little Diving Prince is about to fall out with the Swimming Association because of his management."

"Actually, the positions of both parties can understand this matter. No matter which association definitely does not want its athletes to go solo, after all, it is not easy to train a champion athlete. And athletes also know that they are young, so they both I hope I can make more money while I am young, otherwise the best result after retiring is to spend the rest of my life in a public institution." Zhang Guan said

"Yeah, the image of the little diving prince is not bad. In the future, even if he is not an athlete, he can also be an actor or something. As long as he is always under the camera of the media, he will definitely be able to make money, which is better than a dead salary." Liu The flying man spoke.

"It's not easy to be an actor. You get scolded for bad performances, and you get scolded for bad dramas. Sometimes you have to be scolded for being popular." Zhang Guan said, looked at Liu Feiren, and said with a teasing smile: "Young man, look You look pretty good, and you can become an actor after you retire, so I like you!"

"Hehe, retirement? It's still early! I'm still going to be 40 years old." Liu Feiren said with a smile.

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

At this time, the car slowed down, obviously the destination was approaching. Zhang Guan looked out the window and said, "Okay, don't mention this, it's almost here. The reporter will be interviewing later, so think about how to deal with it Reporter!"

...

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

This kind of interview must have been communicated in advance. When Zhang Guan received the interview outline, he saw about a dozen questions. Mainly about winning the Olympic Games in Athens, there are also a small amount of questions about personal life and impressions of Japan. Zhang Guan feels that although there are many outlines, they are all routine questions, such as Olympic championships and personal life issues. He has accepted dozens of interviews in China, so he would have memorized them long ago. The question of Japan's impression is nothing more than saying a few polite words, memorizing a compliment, and changing the name of which country to go to.

But at the end of the interview, an accident happened. The host of TBS asked a question that was not in the outline.

"Zhang Guan, may I ask if you are against doping?" the host asked.

For athletes, any question about doping is like throwing a blockbuster. When the host asks this question, it must be alluding. You can figure out that TBS has no good intentions.

Zhang Guan did not expect that the host would ask questions beyond the outline, and this was the first time he encountered someone asking him about doping. Although he had received many media interviews in China, the domestic media people certainly did not I will ask about the doping of my country's Olympic champion in a stupid way,

Zhang Guan did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Of course I am firmly opposed to the use of doping! As an athlete, I can only make progress through hard training. If someone uses some immoral means to achieve good results, it must be a unfair."

"Then if there is a potion, drinking it can improve your score to within 9.7 seconds or 9.6 seconds, would you drink it?" the host asked persistently.

"Certainly not." Zhang Guan was a little annoyed by this impolite host, and he couldn't help saying: "It is definitely an achievement that Japanese players will never achieve within 9.6 seconds. After all, there is no such thing as a Japanese player. Running under 10 seconds, so you need to use stimulants to achieve it in your cognition. But for me, running under 9.6 seconds is not out of reach. Maybe at a certain time in the future, I will be able to make 9.6 within seconds."

The host's face turned red immediately. She didn't expect Zhang Guan's counterattack to be so sharp. She simply didn't give the Japanese any face. She was very unconvinced, and just about to ask another question, Zhang Guan on the opposite side said first: " I know you will definitely question my answer, but don’t forget, I am the fastest person in the world now, so if anyone can run within 9.6 seconds, I must have the most say people."

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 come to an end here."

Looking at Zhang Guan's leaving back, the host also let out a sigh of relief. She has been in the circle for many years, of course she is not ignorant of the rules, and she also knows that this time she has offended Zhang Guan terribly. But before coming here, TBS received a verbal request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to ask Zhang Guan about doping, and warm up the topic of doping a little.

...

Although the interview was over, Zhang Guan was in a very bad mood. He felt that the Japanese host was too ignorant of the rules.

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

Liu Feiren thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, although they occasionally rush to ask questions out of order, and sometimes ask questions beyond the interview outline, they never ask about doping. The 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 implicitly allusive. Generally, when reporters ask such questions, either a doping scandal has broken out recently, or the athlete interviewed has used doping. drug suspicion. However, it is obviously a very rude behavior for a reporter to ask this question without warning, which has violated the underlying rules that sports reporters need to abide by.

"TBS should be the official TV station designated for reporting. If they dare to ask such a question, it must be ordered by the organizer. It seems that the Japanese have no good intentions!" Zhang Guan's eyes flashed coldly, but his mind began to quickly analyze , What is the purpose of the Japanese in doing this.

...

Green and Gatlin of the US team will arrive in Yokohama one step earlier.

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

Ever since he lost in the Athens Olympics, Green has been holding his breath. He intends to seek revenge from Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan did not participate in the IAAF Grand Prix. If Green wants to fight Zhang Guan again, he is afraid He has to wait until next year. For Green, who has a hot temper, he certainly doesn't want to wait until next year, so when he heard about the Yokohama All-Star Game, he couldn't wait to decide to participate. He wanted to compete with Zhang Guan.

Gatlin came from not far away and said, "I just watched the online voting. You and I both have an approval rating of more than 40%, while Zhang Guan is less than 10%."

"Voting on American websites means nothing. If you go to China to vote, 99% of the time you will vote for Zhang Guan. In the end, you have to go to the competition field, and the winner will be determined by strength!" Green said.

"It's not just our American website, but also the European media." After Gatlin finished speaking, he threw several newspapers in front of Green.

"The New Olympic Champion Will Meet Waterloo"

"Is Zhang Guan's Luck Running Out?" Track and Field All-Star Competition ushers in a true 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 to himself, "What's the matter? None of the athletes who can run within 9.8 seconds in these idiot media is a parallel importer! Even if Zhang Guan is a yellow man, no How dare you dislike him so much!"

"Do you also feel that the direction of public opinion is not right?" Gatling whispered: "Have you noticed that most of these British media or quoted 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 high-level executive named Sebastian in the IAAF. He doesn't like Chinese athletes very much."

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

"A politician from the Conservative Party, who has positions in the International Olympic Committee and the IAAF, and is also one of the people in charge of the UK's bid to host the next Olympic Games. If the London Olympic bid is successful next year, he is likely to become the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee. "
