Chapter 362 I only want the A label, I don't have the face to ask for the B label
After sleeping in the compound for one night, He Zhongqiu and Yang Xue returned to Qiuxue Garden by Hongluo Lake the next day.
After entering Hongluo Mountain, we saw a lot of tourists.
About seven or eight hundred meters away from Qiuxue, some ancient buildings are being built. They were donated by Chenglong. A Wolong Academy has been completed and is now open to tourists.
There were many people all the way to Qiuxue Garden, and some tourists even went outside Qiuxue Garden specifically to take pictures. This garden has also become a tourist attraction in Hongluo Tourist Area.
"Wow, it's Wolverine and Yang Xue."
"They're back."
The two originally wanted to avoid alarming others, and kept the news secret when they returned from the United States. However, when they got here and were about to enter the gate, it was obviously impossible to keep it secret. As soon as the car arrived at Qiuxue Garden, it was discovered by the tourists, who immediately rushed forward.
After dealing with it for a while, he sent Yang Xue to Qiuxue Garden, and then took the prepared wine and food to his father's grave behind Hongluo Temple.
Xia Song and his group of more than a dozen people also brought firecrackers, brooms and other things.
In addition to the main courtyard of Hongluo Temple, there are five branch courtyards at the foot of the mountain. He did not go to Hongluo Temple as there are many tourists now and it is inconvenient, so he walked through the pine forest to the east of the temple.
This ancient pine forest covers an area of more than 1,000 acres and is very lush. There are tens of thousands of century-old pines. It is one of the most important ancient tree groups in Yanjing. When he was a child, he often hunted in it with locust stones.
However, there were also many tourists in the ancient pine forest. When they saw the Mid-Autumn Festival greetings, they all ran over and even followed all the way to the grave.
There were some fallen leaves on the grave, but it was still relatively clean, and there were also traces of incense. There must be people coming to Hongluo Temple regularly to clean and offer sacrifices.
Well, let’s donate some more money to the temple this year.
With many tourists watching, he cleaned the grave, burned paper, set off firecrackers, kowtowed, knelt in front of the tombstone and said with a smile on his face:
"Dad, our He family will soon have descendants, aren't you happy? It's a pity that you left too early and didn't even get to enjoy the blessing of your son.
Now, I have perfected the Iron Shirt, and will be able to perfect the Eagle Claw in two years. I have not abandoned my martial arts.
Don't worry, I will definitely pick out a son with good talent and let him pass on these two skills of the family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smoke from the pile of burning paper began to swirl and rise into the sky like a tornado.
"Hey, Dad, did you hear that? Haha, well, you're happy, right? Come on, let's get drunk together today."
After eating and drinking for a while and sitting in front of the tomb for an hour, He Zhongqiu went down the mountain and went home.
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Director Liu asked you to meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The main leaders of the Track and Field Center will also attend." Xia Song reminded before leaving.
"Okay, I understand." He Zhongqiu said.
"I'll call you tomorrow morning." Xia Song said, fearing that He Zhongqiu would oversleep.
"it is good."
Qiuxue Garden had already hired two obstetrics and gynecology nurses in advance, and the garden also hired two nannies and a cook, all of whom are in their thirties and very experienced. They will take care of Yang Xue from now on.
He also contacted the chief physician of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Union Hospital, who is also a female professor of Union Medical College, so that any situation could be dealt with in a timely manner.
He Zhongqiu also asked Yang Xue to set up her office in Qiuxue Garden, where the staff around her also worked, ate and lived.
The city is now a big construction site and the air is not very good. It is completely different here at Hongluo Mountain and Hongluo Lake. The air is very fresh and cooler in summer, which is more suitable for fetal care.
On September 9, He Zhongqiu went to the General Administration of Sports.
The topic was about his entry into track and field events. Now he has no achievements in track and field events, and his body shape is not suitable for track and field events at all, but his influence is so great that the General Administration still attaches great importance to it.
The result of the discussion was to be determined based on his training situation.
Whether it is sprinting, high jump or long jump, if we can really reach the international level, we will become an advanced national track and field team.
During the off-season in 07, he was registered for some domestic and international competitions. From July to October, there were the domestic Athletics Grand Prix and Athletics Championships, the Athletics Championships Finals, the Shanghai Athletics Golden League, and the 7th City Games Athletics Competition.
Among these competitions, He Zhongqiu can participate in other competitions, but he is not eligible to participate in the international competition, the Golden League.
The director of the General Administration promised him that as long as he obtained the B mark, he would be qualified to participate in the 08 Olympics.
This attitude is very good because a country can only have three A-level athletes and one B-level athlete participate in the Olympics.
If he reaches the B standard, this indicator belongs to him and applies to all track and field events he participates in. This is not fair to other athletes in the country who have reached the B standard in these events.
"Let's go with the A standard. If there is only the B standard, I don't want this indicator."
However, He Zhongqiu did not want to take advantage of this. There was no point in participating in the B-level competition, and it would be difficult to get through the group stage.
Of course the General Administration would not object to his request, as it was meant to take care of him.
Next, he registered with the Track and Field Association and officially became a track and field athlete.
However, the news will not be announced to the public for the time being. He Zhongqiu’s results have not come out yet and he does not want to be too high-profile.
"Director Xin, do you want to wait for me, or go find Director Liu?"
As soon as I came out of the director's office, I ran into Director Xin of the Basketball Management Center.
"I came here specially to wait for you."
Director Xin looked unlucky. When he saw He Zhongqiu coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhongqiu, the World Championships are over. I'm ranked 20th."
“How many teams are there in total?”
He Zhongqiu was a little surprised. The men's basketball champion of the Athens Olympics had fallen to 20th place without him and Yao Ming?
"A total of 24 countries." Director Xin sighed.
After finishing the game on the 3rd and returning home on the 4th, he has been scolded until now, not only by the fans but also by the bureau.
To be honest, He Zhongqiu also has a lot of fans scolding him, but his influence is too great and there are more people supporting him in China.
Yao Ming is lucky, as he received the least criticism because he was recovering from injury.
"Don't worry, we'll come back in 08." He Zhongqiu patted Director Xin on the shoulder and comforted him.
"No, you have to practice track and field again..."
Director Xin glanced at the director's office door and asked quietly, "Zhongqiu, are the people from Tian Guan still in there?"
"Yes." He Zhongqiu nodded.
"Come on, Zhongqiu, let's go back to the basketball management first. I'll treat you to lunch at noon." Director Xin hurriedly pulled He Zhongqiu and left.
"I haven't met Dazhi and Daba yet. They are probably still in Yanjing. Why not ask them to come along?" He Zhongqiu said.
"also."
Director Xin agreed immediately.
After returning to the basketball management department and chatting for more than an hour, Director Xin breathed a sigh of relief only after He Zhongqiu promised that his basketball skills would not decline because of track and field events.
At noon, He Zhongqiu had lunch with a group of men's basketball players. He did not save any money for Director Xin. He spent more than 3,000 yuan on food and drinks, and all his monthly salary was gone.
Xin Lancheng is a reformer in the academy. It was he who facilitated Yao Ming's move to the NBA. He opened the door for Chinese basketball to the outside world and made contributions to the reform of Chinese basketball.
Of course, these things caused him to have a bad reputation in the country, but this did not affect his status in the domestic basketball world.
His title as the men's basketball champion in the 04 Olympic Games has made him very secure in this position. If he performs well in the men's basketball team in the 08 Olympic Games, he may have the possibility to go further.
Therefore, his attitude towards He Zhongqiu was quite warm and tolerant. Even if He Zhongqiu did not come back to participate in the World Championships, he had no complaints.
Yao Ming also benefited from He Zhongqiu's help. Before entering the NBA, he signed an agreement with the Basketball Association to participate in all training and games of the men's basketball team during the off-season. However, he did not participate in the World Championships this time and is still hiding in the United States for training.
The next day, He Zhongqiu arrived at Beijing Sport University at 8 o'clock in the morning, and his team also arrived early.
Xia Song, some leaders from the Track and Field Management Center and Beijing Sport University were also waiting for him.
In particular, all the leaders of the Wushu Academy were there, as well as several teachers from the strength training class that he worked with the General Administration and Beijing Sport University. His martial arts school needed a large number of coaches and strength trainers, which was a very good way out for outstanding students of the Wushu major and students of the strength training class at Beijing Sport University.
The graduates have good employment prospects, and it also has a very good publicity effect for BSU, so BSU attaches great importance to the cooperation with him and decided to expand the enrollment of these two majors next year.
"Fuck, aren't all the students from Beijing Sport University here?"
However, when he arrived at Beijing Sport University, he was still shocked because it was packed with students from Beijing Sport University, filling the entire playground.
boom!
When they saw him, there was a huge cheer, like ten tons of TNT exploding.
Xia Song came over and said loudly: "Zhongqiu, there are many idols of Beijing Sport University students, such as Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Jing, Zhou Suhong, and the champion class opened in 03 has many Olympic champions. Zhang Yilin came in 04, but you are their most admired idol."
"How many students are there?" He Zhongqiu asked loudly.
"More than ten thousand. Almost all the students on campus come to welcome you." Xia Song shouted loudly.
"This is not my first time at BSU. Why didn't I get this treatment before?" He Zhongqiu shouted.
"Haha..." Xia Song laughed.
Next, the school leaders invited He Zhongqiu to say a few words to the students. Unable to refuse the invitation, He Zhongqiu gave a speech to encourage the students.
In the following time, he began intensive track and field training and strength training.
As an honorary professor, he occasionally takes time to teach a few classes at the martial arts academy to satisfy his desire to be a teacher. For a poor student, it is a great experience.
On October 10, Liu Xiang and Sun Haiping came to the Beijing Sport University Track and Field Training Center specifically to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When I arrived at the playground, I saw He Zhongqiu practicing running under the guidance of a group of foreigners. His starting speed was quite fast and his 30-meter acceleration was amazing.
"Zhongqiu's technique is still not up to par, otherwise he would be even faster. He really has the potential to be a sprinter." Sun Zhangping is an expert and he can tell at a glance.
"Zhongqiu, are you really changing your career?"
After He Zhongqiu stopped, Liu Xiang waved his hand and shouted.
"Hey, Liu Xiang, aren't you competing abroad?"
"just came back."
He Zhongqiu ran over, shook hands with Sun Haiping and said, "Hello, Director Sun."
"Zhongqiu, seeing how you ran just now, it seems you can really do it!" Sun Haiping said happily.
"No, no, now we can't even meet the B standard for several projects." He Zhongqiu said modestly.
"Did you win the championship again this time?" he said to Liu Xiang again.
"In July, at the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Lausanne, I ran 7 seconds, breaking the world record." Liu Xiang smiled proudly.
"You cow!"
He Zhongqiu gave a thumbs up and joked, "Fuck, I want to practice the 110 hurdles and snatch your championship."
Sun Haiping laughed. He thought that with He Zhongqiu's long legs, the height of the hurdles would be very low for him, and his coordination was very good, so he might be able to do the hurdles.
However, hurdling requires more skills, and Liu Xiang's explosive power is average, and he has achieved his current results relying on hurdling skills. So he thinks that He Zhongqiu does not have that much time to hone his skills, and there is no need to work hard on hurdling.
"No, I'm worried about your condition. Just practice the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters, and leave the hurdles to me." Liu Xiang said hurriedly.
He just saw that He Zhongqiu started very fast and his acceleration in the first 110 meters should have reached world-class level. If he were to run the -meter hurdles, with his long legs, the difficulty of hurdling would definitely be low, and he might be able to practice it.
"Okay, I won't take your job." He Zhongqiu laughed.
Liu Xiang said with emotion: "It's incredible. You are so tall, how can you have such good explosive power? I am much worse than you in terms of explosive power.
And your coordination and flexibility are incredible!"
"There is only one me in a thousand years." He Zhongqiu started bragging immediately.
"Hehe, say this after you win the 100-meter championship. I look forward to the day when you become the world's sprinter." Liu Xiang said with a smile.
"I'll let you see it in 08," said He Zhongqiu.
Then he whispered, “I’ve heard a lot in the United States and got more information. Someone in my team has mentioned this kind of thing.
I heard that in their track and field events, and many other events, such as swimming, they eat those things systematically, especially before the competition, everyone eats together, all of them are fucking cyborgs. "
"Really?"
Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang were both shocked.
In fact, they have heard of this kind of thing a long time ago, but the standards for stimulants are in the hands of others, and there are exemptions. There is nothing they can do about people with asthma or heart disease who take drugs openly.
He Zhongqiu did not discuss this issue any further and said, "How is your injury?"
"I have some minor injuries. Last time I injured my ankle, but I'm fine now." Liu Xiang said.
"Pay attention. If you have any injuries, treat them early to avoid any hidden dangers. Participate in fewer competitions in the next two years and strive to defend your title in 08."
He Zhongqiu reminded him and said, "As for Yao Ming, I made him skip the World Championships so that he could have a good body in 08."
Liu Xiang was startled, nodded thoughtfully, but then said with a distressed look: "If I don't participate in the competition, it will be difficult to explain to the advertiser."
He Zhongqiu advised: "When you say that, I know your injury is not healed yet. Coordinate with them. Everything is for the Yanjing Olympics."
Liu Xiang nodded. He also wanted to heal his injuries completely, but he never had the chance.
Sun Haiping explained: "The main reason is that he is in his prime these few years and I want him to win more championships.
However, we will consider your suggestion, Zhongqiu. The most important thing next is indeed the Yanjing Olympics."
Liu Xiang asked: "Do you practice sprinting, high jump and long jump together?"
"The main focus is on sprinting. There's not much time to practice long jump and high jump techniques, so we'll just have to figure it out." He Zhongqiu said.
Liu Xiang asked again: "How many hundred meters can you run now?"
He Zhongqiu chuckled and said, "It used to be over 11 seconds, but after learning how to start, my fastest time is now 10.45 seconds. I ran it yesterday, which is more than half a second faster than in June.
My team said that my skills are not good enough at the moment, and I can still improve my performance by honing my skills. Then I can only improve my performance by training the explosive power of my lower limbs, and it will become increasingly difficult to improve later on. "
"Fuck, Zhongqiu, you're really good. You've improved by more than half a second after three months of training? The B standard for the 10.28 meters is seconds, right? You're almost reaching the standard!" Liu Xiang said in surprise.
"I, He Zhongqiu, only want the A standard, 10.21 seconds. The B standard is not suitable for my status." He Zhongqiu said arrogantly.
"You cow!"
Liu Xiang gave a thumbs up and Sun Haiping also laughed.
He Zhongqiu said modestly: "You are also a sprinter, it is difficult to improve 0.01 seconds, I am still far from it.
Now I am 0.24 seconds away from the A standard, and even further away from the world's top results. If I can't get under 10 seconds, there is no point in me doing sprinting. "
Liu Xiang thought so too. It was so difficult to improve his own event by 0.01 seconds. It was not easy for him to run 12.88 seconds this time. He had never run that time in previous training and might not be able to do so again in the future.
Sun Haiping also said: "If you don't win a few championships in the sprint during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it really doesn't mean much considering your status in the sports world."
Liu Xiang also said: "Three consecutive NBA championships, the best active basketball player, heavyweight world boxing champion, if the sprint is not under 10 seconds, it is indeed a gimmick."
He Zhongqiu chuckled and said, "My goal is to get under 10 seconds in a year, get an A standard next year, and then reach the world's top level in another year, and fight those cyborgs in 08."
When he said this, he had no idea that in 08, the people who really fought against him were not those American cyborgs, but someone else.
