On June 30, there is only one day left before the Paris leg of the IAAF Golden League. The battle for "the world's No. 1 flying man" was also hyped to a climax on this day.
Gatlin missed this game due to the doping scandal, so in fact the only person who can pose a threat to Zhang Guan is Powell.
In the morning, the organizer held a press conference for each event. Almost all participating athletes participated. This was also a meeting for all athletes before the game.
"Zhang! Finally see you again." Powell took the initiative to greet Zhang Guan.
"Asafa, congratulations on your good result of 9.77 seconds in Athens." Zhang Guan shook hands with Powell politely, and then said: "Do you still remember what I said to you at the Olympics last year? "
"What did you say?" Powell didn't react at all.
"I also ran 9.77 seconds at that time. You came to congratulate me, and I said to you, 'You will also run this time next year, and maybe it will be at this venue.' How about it, Asafa, do you remember it? ? My prediction is accurate, right?" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Powell's expression suddenly changed. He finally remembered the scene in the finals of last year's Olympic Games. Zhang Guan did say those words to him, but Powell didn't care. He completely thought that Zhang Guan was being polite to him. He passed by Zhang Guan today. As soon as he was reminded, Powell immediately remembered the situation that day. And the fact is just as Zhang Guan predicted, he ran a score of 9.77 the next year after the Olympics, and the place where he created this score was Athens, Greece, which was the stadium that hosted the Olympics that day.
"How is it possible? Is it a coincidence? This is incredible!" Powell stared at Zhang Guan in surprise, but Zhang Guan still had an elegant smile.
"Okay, Asafa, don't worry about this, just think that I can do magic!" Zhang Guan knew that at this moment, Powell's heart felt a little loose, and Powell's self-confidence might be shaken a little.
But this is not enough. These world-class athletes are extremely strong inside. Zhang Guan needs to defeat Powell again and again in future games, so that he can truly defeat Powell mentally.
At a press conference, Zhang Guan and Powell both appeared and chatted happily with each other. They seemed very friendly and there was not much irritation. This disappointed the media to some extent, but everyone was more and more looking forward to the world's number one flyer tomorrow. The battle, who will win in the end.
…
After dinner, Liu Feiren wanted to go to bed early, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
"Golden League! I'm so nervous! I'm so looking forward to it!" Liu Feiren simply stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window. He wanted to breathe in the fresh air outside and calm down.
A warm wind instantly blew into Liu Feiren's face. In fact, the temperature in Paris in June and July is relatively suitable, but there are always one or two heat waves that hit Europe in July and August every year, and we just caught up with a heat wave recently, so The temperature outside is still very hot.
Due to the weather, the road in front of the hotel was full of people in short-dressed clothes, especially some young people who were just getting ready to start their nightlife. They were all wearing suspenders and shorts, which made Liu Feiren feel very happy.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Liu Feiren's sight. It was Zhang Guan, and beside Zhang Guan, there was a tall, blond woman.
"There's a foreign girl? Where did Zhang Guan find a foreign girl? Who is she?" Liu Fei's heart was full of gossip. However, from his angle and height, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly at all. The reason why he could tell that the man was Zhang Guan was because they were training together all day and were familiar with each other.
"Zhang Guan and that foreign girl have entered the hotel! It seems they are going back to the room together!" Liu Feiren immediately walked to his door and looked out through the peephole on the door. Zhang Guan lives across from Liu Feiren, so Liu Feiren, the curious baby, wants to see what kind of girl Zhang Guan brings back.
"It's great to speak English well, and you can still find foreign girls. No, this is France, so we should speak French. Has this guy secretly learned French? French people should also be able to speak English, right?" Liu Fei was gossiping in his mind. Waiting for Zhang Guan to come back with the foreign girl.
But after waiting and waiting, Zhang Guan was not seen, no one passed by, and no one opened the door opposite.
"Why haven't you come up yet? It's time to come! The elevator is broken and you're trapped inside?" Liu Feiren waited patiently, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no one.
"You can't really be trapped in the elevator, right?" Liu Feiren immediately put on his clothes, left the room and walked to the elevator, only to find that several elevators were normal.
"Didn't you come up at all?" The curious baby took the elevator and came to the first floor, but still couldn't find Zhang Guan.
At the same time, in the suite upstairs, Zhang Guan was already entangled with Sharapova.
"My dear, don't forget that you have to compete tomorrow." Sharapova reminded her.
"It doesn't matter, I can make up for it." Zhang Guan looked at the inventory in the system and felt that he should buy some more physical recovery potions.
…
The day of the Paris Golden League match.
Liu Feiren will appear earlier than Zhang Guan. After the 110-meter hurdles, there will be the women's 800-meter race, then the men's 800-meter race, and finally the 100-meter trapeze battle. Since the media has been hyping up the competition for the world's No. 1 trapeze player, the men's 100-meter trapeze battle was arranged as the finale.
In the 110-meter hurdles, Liu Feiren ran a good time of 13.06 seconds, which is the fastest time he has achieved this year. However, Liu Feiren's two old rivals, Frenchman Ducoure and American Alan - Johnson performed even better, so Liu Feiren only got a third place.
Liu Feiren seemed a little frustrated when he failed to win the first place. Although it was his first time participating in the Golden League, he still wanted to win the championship. He looked at Zhang Guan who came to comfort him and said: "Lost, 1 million There is no hope of getting the gold, and the next step is up to you."
"Don't worry, we are all still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Zhang Guan comforted him, but he also knew that what Liu Feiren cared about was not the dozens of kilograms of gold, but the honor of the championship.
Liu Feiren took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then said: "You are right, youth is capital, and my grades just now are not bad. If my condition is a little better, maybe I can be good again." I ran under 13 seconds. You should hurry up and get ready. The men's and women's 800-meter races will be over soon, and it will be your turn to take the field."
When Liu Feier said this, he suddenly remembered Zhang Guan's fun yesterday and brought a blond foreign girl into the hotel. She thought to herself that Zhang Guan should not exhaust all his energy last night, so he kindly reminded him: "How was your rest last night? It’s okay inside my body now!”
"Liu Fei didn't ask about my status, but only asked about my physical strength. Did he know something?" Zhang Guan glared at Liu Fei with a strange expression. When he looked at the system, his physical strength had only recovered to 73 points. Indeed, Not very suitable for this level of competition.
"Don't worry! No problem! I'll break the record soon!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Liu Feiren thought Zhang Guan was joking and laughed easily.
…
The women's 800 meters and the men's 800 meters ended quickly. Next, the most anticipated 100-meter trapeze battle is about to begin.
Sports media around the world have been hyping this game for a whole week, and sports fans have also been looking forward to it for a week. Since the moment Powell ran 9.77 seconds, the debate between all parties has not stopped. Some people support Zhang Guan, while others support Powell. The odds offered by the European Gambling Company also include Zhang Guan and Powell. Similarly, it is obvious that even the powerful betting company does not know which of the two is likely to win the championship, and the result will be announced in the next moment.
At the starting line, Powell was fully focused. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little nervous, but more of it was anticipation. After the Olympics last year, Powell has been looking forward to the moment when he challenges Zhang Guan again. Since the moment he ran 9.76 seconds in training, Powell's desire to challenge Zhang Guan has become stronger. Now, he has finally waited. This was the moment he had been looking forward to.
"The game is finally coming, the top of the world, here I come! God, bless me!" Powell prayed silently in his heart, and then looked at Zhang Guan, looking at the man standing at the top of the world, Powell hoped that Defeating him, replacing him and becoming the world's number one is Powell's lifelong dream.
But at this time, Zhang Guan's expression seemed very relaxed. He kept looking at the stands and finally found Sharapova sitting in the front row of the stands.
"This is the first time Martha came to watch my competition. You have to live up to your expectations. You can't embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend. You have to perform well." Zhang Guan's vanity suddenly rose. At this time, he felt like he was always seeking a mate. Like a male peacock, he desperately wants to spread his beautiful tail screen. The next moment, he used a physical potion and a status potion, increasing his physical strength and status to 100.
"World record, here I go again!" Zhang Guan roared and stood on the starting block.
…
The camera focused on Zhang Guan and Powell respectively, giving each of them a close-up. The whole world knew that they would be the protagonists of this game.
"Set..." The starter raised his gun, followed by a gunshot.
Then, the timeout whistle sounded.
The Jamaican jumped the ball, but it was not Powell, but another Jamaican athlete Thomas.
When the two male leads were about to show off their acting skills, a walk-on suddenly came over and stole the scene. This was indeed very unpleasant, and the audience suddenly burst into boos.
Thomas shook his head in embarrassment. He didn't run away on purpose, it was indeed because he was a little nervous.
The athletes returned to the starting line again and started a new round of preparations. The referee did not rush. Anyway, it was just the last game of the day. Prepare for a while longer and let the advertising banner under the TV screen scroll for a while longer. Broadcast Both parties and advertisers will be happy.
Finally, the eight athletes stood on the starting line again and the game started again.
