Now I want to be a good person - Chapter 571
Liang Kun witnessed the process of Liu Xiang’s injury at close range on the sidelines. It’s really unlucky for a man to have his teeth stuffed with cold water. He didn’t do anything at all.
In the final preparation, he suddenly stopped his steps before crossing the first hurdle after starting. Then he lay down on his back on the runway and covered his right leg in pain.
Then Liu Xiang told coach Sun Haiping and doctor that he felt some discomfort at the root of his right ankle and right thigh: “both places feel sore and can’t lift his legs.”
Liu Xiang felt that he could recover from the injury in a short time and still hoped to participate in another race in the United States. But in fact, it’s not that simple. It’s a recurrence of an old injury.
Naturally, Liang Kun became the only hope of the track and field team.
When he appeared, many overseas Chinese and foreign students came to the audience to cheer for him. They waved the national flag of China and shouted Liang Kun’s name.
So many Chinese spectators in track and field competitions surprised the American media. After the qualifier, the associated press lamented that this scene was “really rare”. Track and field competitions have always had few spectators, which shows Liang Kun’s position in the eyes of the Chinese.
Liu Xiang felt ashamed of his compatriots for his withdrawal. He made a special speech through the official public address equipment to apologize for his withdrawal from the competition. This goodwill move also won warm applause from the audience.
With the understanding of the audience, Liu Xiang was not happy. The examination showed that this was the recurrence of an old achilles tendon injury. In order to participate in this year’s Olympic Games, he can only choose conservative treatment. But if he doesn’t train during this period of time and runs directly at the beginning of the Olympic Games, how can he win Robles?
Liu Xiang is also very depressed. Liang Kun replaced his core position in the team. The hero changed! Seeing Liang Kun win the 400m and 800m titles and the Chinese audience excited in the stands, Liu Xiang’s heart was like overturning a five flavor bottle.
The gold content of Liang Kun’s two champions was very high, and they were on fire before the beginning of the Olympic Games. American 400m players rashoon Merritt and Jeremy warina took part in the competition and competed with Liang Kun in the final.
Warina was the last Olympic champion and achieved a super performance of 43.45 seconds in Osaka in 2007. Merritt is also a popular winner and a rising star similar to warina’s strength.
As a result, both of them were left behind by Liang Kun. Liang Kun ran 43.30 seconds in the final and almost broke the world record.
After the competition, people think that Liang Kun will break the 400 meter world record sooner or later, probably at this Olympic Games. In the 800 meters, he has no opponent at all. He has set a new world record. The players competing with him can only compete for the silver medal and can’t pose a threat to him.
Liang Kun completed two orange tasks by the way, which are about the competition results.
The track and field management center hopes that the track and field team can win more championships and improve their attention. Every time Liang Kun wins the competition, he can attract more attention, make the domestic audience happy, and symbolize the rise of Chinese track and field.
Moreover, his physical quality has been improved. Sports related tasks and rewards are often related to his physical quality. This time he has strength + 1 and life + 1.
The only thing that annoys the field management center is that Liang Kun’s transcendent position in the track and field team will affect Liu Xiang’s commercial value.
Liu Xiang’s commercial value has shown a trend of high opening and low going since he won the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. Last year, his advertising revenue reached 163 million yuan. I don’t know how much it is this year. It will certainly decline. If he can’t win the Olympic Games, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When he won the championship in 2004, Liu Xiang was the pride of the Chinese people. Many people believe that it is very difficult to have such a figure in the field of track and field in China in the future. As a result, a best-selling writer from Hollywood came out this year
Liu Xiang doesn’t hate Liang Kun. He knows that Liang Kun didn’t come to steal his limelight, let alone his advertising endorsement. Liang Kun just wants to do more for the country at the Olympic Games at home.
Even if he doesn’t participate in the track and field competition, Liang Kun’s advertising income by other titles is higher than Liu Xiang. The identity of George Armani’s global spokesman is not comparable to that of other Chinese stars.
Both speak for Coca Cola. Liang Kun is the boss of Asian stars, and the endorsement fee is much higher than Liu Xiang. Athletes are supposed not to drink carbonated drinks. Liang Kun’s endorsement effect is better than Liu Xiang. He is not a professional athlete and drinks freely.
Now there are people who are more anxious than Liu Xiang. For Liu Xiang’s commercial development, the distribution policy of the field management center is: 50% for athletes, 15% for coaches, 20% for local sports bureaus training athletes, and the remaining 15% is extracted by the field management center.
As a unique “cash cow” of the track and field team, Liu Xiang must abide by the principle of maximizing collective interests. In fact, after the Athens Olympic Games, he changed his MSN signature to “super involuntarily”.
Parallel world, Liu Xiang is still shooting advertisements for sponsors before announcing his retirement. It can be seen that the “gold owners” want to squeeze the last commercial value out of him. After 2014, Liu Xiang can finally live the life he wants, and the track and field team is distressed because they can’t find a new money tree.
Today, Liu Xiang is still unique.
No matter how much endorsement fee Liang Kun has, people on the track and field team can’t get it. Because he is not trained by the Sports Bureau and has no special coach, his way of participating is like that of Americans. He is a “super free man” among Chinese athletes.
The leaders of the field management center can’t handle Liang Kun. If they don’t give him money, they won’t let him participate in the competition? They may be able to do so. Liang Kun didn’t care at all. He went straight to other things and announced his retirement the next day.
Then the leaders who make this decision will be in big trouble. Fans don’t care about the distribution of benefits, and they don’t know why athletes have to turn in half or more of their income to others.
They just want to see Liang Kun win the gold medal and win glory for the country. Anyone who prevents Liang Kun from winning glory for the country will definitely make big international news.
After the competition, Liang Kun invited Liu Xiang alone to a famous restaurant in New York for dinner. He has been to New York many times. As a gourmet, he has eaten in many famous restaurants.
Tasting the superior Western food, Liu Xiang said with a bitter smile, “to tell you the truth, I really envy you. I can do whatever I want, and I’m so successful. Now I don’t know what to do next.”
Liang Kun took a bite of steak. “Recuperate, what else can you do? You’re under too much pressure. You have to relax.”
“I can’t relax. The news says that my previous achievements are meaningless if I don’t win the Olympic Games this year.” after Liu Xiang withdrew from the game, someone on the Internet threw out this argument.
As early as last November, some officials said they would try to ensure that Liu Xiang won the championship, which is a very important gold medal.
Liu Xiang asked, “if it were you, what would you do in case of such a thing? I can only treat conservatively now, not high-intensity training.”
Liang Kun pondered for a moment, thinking of course not what to do if he was hurt.
He’s not hurt. Even if he’s hurt, there’s a healing potion.
“I think you should announce the injury and tell the truth. Then you should give up the competition completely during this period and try your best when the Olympic Games begin. If you recover your injury and run well, you are a hero. Even if you can’t win the championship, everyone will understand you if you know you are injured.”
Liu Xiang shook his head. “That won’t work. How can I win without training?”
“It’s better to give everyone a preventive shot in advance than to make people think you can win the championship and lose?” Liang Kun didn’t say to quit the game. Liu Xiang couldn’t quit the game with him.
He now said such words as if he were cursing each other.
In the parallel world, Liu Xiang was scolded miserably on the Internet because he withdrew from the game. There is nothing worse than that.
The main reason why Liang Kun talked to Liu Xiang is that he has not released the red task of healing injuries, only the red task of defending the 110m hurdles champion in the Olympic Games.
The injury treatment task was orange. Liang Kun didn’t hurry to take it, but took the task of helping Liu Xiang defend his title. He is likely to complete this task. Liu Xiang and Robles have half the strength. Only when they are well injured can they hope to defend the title. Liang Kun is the most credited.
“I can’t get any preventive shots. I’m not in charge of injuries and injuries. The coach means to let me take care of them first, and then train properly without intensity.” Liu Xiang said with a bitter smile.
“You have retired this time. How can you keep it a secret?” Liang Kun asked.
“Eugene came out and pretended that his injury was not serious… Then you will know. Don’t talk about it. The fewer people you know, the better.” Liu Xiang sighed.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a big mouth. Eat first. Maybe you’ll be well by August?” Liang Kun smiled.
Liang Kun will not use medicine for Liu Xiang for the time being. As for the reason why the team behind him wants to keep it secret, it’s their own business.
In fact, it’s not hard to guess. It just wants Liu Xiang to maintain commercial value before the Olympic Games. He no longer represents himself, but a huge business chain.
In the parallel world, Liu Xiang was diagnosed with inflammation of the Achilles tendon of his right foot two days before the preliminary competition of the 110 meter hurdles of the Olympic Games. Insiders had long known that he could not win, but the injury was kept strictly confidential, even his parents did not know. His appearance on the court was pushed out. He really couldn’t help himself.
Toss a big circle, the only difference is that the negotiated withdrawal package has become Liu Xiang’s temporary withdrawal. They also insisted that they did not expect Liu Xiang’s injury to be so serious, which aroused the disgust of the audience.
Liang Kun plans to invite Liu Xiang to dinner before the Olympic Games. It’s best to meet other people in the interest chain. Maybe there will be more than one red task at that time, and Liang Kun will earn more when he finishes it at one go.
It’s easy for him to find Liu Xiang. He often sees him on the track and field team. He can also call to make an appointment. Near the game, others must have been in Yanjing.
Today, Liang Kun began to pave the way. He asked Liu Xiang what Chinese food he likes to eat and exchanged delicious food. Ask him what kind of drinks and soups he likes, and add some ingredients to him at that time.
Liu Xiang did not realize that forced training would worsen his injuries. Now he just can’t cross the hurdles and can still walk. His worry is that he won’t win Robles if he doesn’t practice hard before the game
