"Have you heard? Someone is actually coming over for a test today?"
"Testing? Level 2 athlete?"
"Level 2? What's Level 2? It's a first-level athlete!"
"No way? First level, doesn't it require recommendation from two first level athletes?"
"I've already asked someone to help me get it, and I heard the results are pretty good."
"Oh, who is a relative of whom? How high is your score? If you can practice in a small place by yourself, I guess you will definitely improve a lot after coming here."
"Ahem, progress? What are you thinking about? I heard he is a guy in his twenties. I guess he sneaked in to cheat on the subsistence allowance."
"It's impossible. How can a first-level athlete be so easy to mess with? Four referees are watching at the same time!"
"Who knows, after all, you can get more than 7,000 people without doing anything in a month. Some people will definitely take risks."
"You mean taking medicine?"
"Hey, what else? Are there really that many folk geniuses? If they really were, they would have been discovered by the school when they were young and sent here."
....
"Ahem..."
When the two of them were chatting, a violent cough sounded behind them. The two of them were startled and looked back.
A strange combination appeared in their eyes. They recognized the wretched person at a glance. It was Director Zhang who was responsible for evaluating athletes. When they saw Director Zhang's expression, their faces immediately turned pale.
The two of them were just talking about the possibility of favoritism in today's evaluation. Although Director Zhang is not the referee on the field, this is the department he is in charge of.
This casual bragging, but he actually met the real owner, which is really fatal, and this real owner is also related to the future selection of the two.
If the other party is too narrow-minded and gets stuck in the selection process and prevents you from making the selection, that's the end of the world.
The director looked at the two people who looked like children who were punished for doing something wrong, and shook his head helplessly.
It seems that the amount of training below is seriously insufficient. Otherwise, how could these little guys have so much time and energy to gossip here?
He took a deep breath and wanted to curse the other person, but felt the gaze coming from his few hairs, so he held back.
He snorted coldly and said to the two of them:
"You think there are no masters among the people, right? I say you are simply looking at the sky from a well. The Han Dynasty has such a vast land area and many outstanding people. There are countless masters hidden among the people."
"You guys, you guys who can't even make it to the national team, still keep your nostrils in the sky every day, thinking how awesome you are, go ahead and follow us."
Director Zhang continued to lead the way. The two of them were a little confused and didn't know what the director was going to do. One of the young men wearing a black hairband asked:
"Why are Director going with you? We still have training here! We have to go back quickly."
Director Zhang didn't look back and said coldly:
"You're still chatting and gossiping in the aisles during training? I don't think your training is very important? Since it's not important, you don't need to participate. You can just go to your coach and get punished when the time comes. You just follow it now.
I’ll see if our evaluation is fair or not later.”
The two immediately put on two pain masks, which were strengthened pain masks.
You must know that the punishment for not training on time can be a bit severe. Not only do you have to double the original training volume, but you also have to write a letter of apology.
Doubling the amount of training is not serious. The problem is that for athletes like them, writing a 5,000-word self-reflection letter with specific content, meaningful words and sincere feelings is simply more painful than killing them.
However, the director spoke up. Although he was not the director in charge of them, the other party had greater power than the director in charge of them. They had no choice but to follow at the back with a grimace.
After walking for a while, the two people's hearts for gossip began to burn again. Looking at A Cong, who looked equally depressed, they finally couldn't suppress their curiosity.
It was the young man with the black hairband who poked Acong's arm and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, my name is Zhang Yue, and this is my brother Lin Qi. We are from football, brothers, which team? Did you also get caught for saying bad things about Director Zhang and the others behind their backs?"
A Cong glanced at the two juniors who were a few years younger than him and rolled his eyes angrily. Although there is no hierarchy in sports, there is always a chain of contempt no matter where they are.
Football is at the bottom of the contempt chain of Han sports. Even basketball, which has not developed well, can completely ignore them. This shows how unpopular football is in the country.
That is to say, only those guys who are not good enough but not good enough will be willing to stay in the football team. Those who have a little bit of ambition will try to switch to basketball even if they can't transfer to a promising team like table tennis.
After all, if someone is chosen to play basketball, the salary and treatment will still be good, but the reputation may be a little worse, but there is no shame in making money.
However, when others greeted me, it was hard for me, a senior, to keep a cold face and not answer. I hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice:
"Zhou Zicong, from the long-distance running team. I didn't say anything bad about anyone behind their backs. I just happened to be in Director Zhang's office to apply for the test, so we took a look together."
!!!
When Lin Qi and Zhang Yue heard the name Zhou Zicong, they immediately thought of something.
The two looked at each other, and then looked at Zhou Zicong as if they were injured animals.
Although there are many people in the Provincial Sports Department, generally speaking, it is difficult to recognize everyone as long as they are not athletes in the same group.
Of course, there are exceptions for some special people, such as those who have a good chance of being transferred to the national team, or some particularly beautiful young ladies or particularly handsome brothers, or some guys who often make troubles may be treated differently.
recognized by group members.
Of course, there is another kind of person who is also well-known. This kind of person is smaller in number, and has its own tragic color, which is easier for people to remember and empathize with.
That is because of his excellent performance, he was already on the national team, but was withdrawn due to various reasons, and the one who came back was like this Zhou Zicong in front of him.
After only 4 years of training, he was spotted by the national team as a substitute, but was withdrawn due to injury within a year.
However, the two of them seemed to realize that something was wrong with their expressions, and they quickly bent down and apologized:
"I'm sorry, senior, we didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong."
Zhou Zicong waved his hand. He had seen the expressions on the two people's faces many times. At first, he felt aggrieved. Why did these guys dare to look at him with such expressions?
I have been in the national team before. Although I was only a reserve player and even though I was sent back, I am still much better than those of them who were mixed in the provincial team.
But later he discovered that the reason why everyone showed such expressions was not because of malice. On the contrary, they showed such expressions because they felt sorry for themselves. Although they were still a little unhappy, they gradually got used to it.
Silently all the way, the group of people quickly arrived at the urine test room, which was already brightly lit.
Four referees wearing black referee uniforms were already waiting inside. Director Zhang called to inform him before going out.
After all, I was notified early today that I was going to conduct an evaluation, so a few people came very quickly.
Director Zhang asked in a calm tone:
"Did you take any cold medicine, antipyretics or cough drops before coming here?"
Li Xiao shook his head quickly. It seemed that after getting the system, his body got much better. He used to get sick every now and then, but he hadn't gotten sick for several months.
Even after going into the water a few times in the winter, nothing unusual happened.
Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction:
"It's fine if you don't have one. Then take a cup and go to the cubicle to do a urine test. These four referees will look here together. If you have any questions, you can ask them immediately. Okay, you guys are busy here first. I
Go and record your information into the computer."
As he walked towards it, an older referee whispered a few words and then turned around and left the urine test room.
But before leaving, Director Zhang still said:
"You three guys, just follow me and watch. I want you to see if our provincial sports team is operating behind the scenes? After reading it, write me a 3,000-word article with specific content, meaningful words, and sincere feelings."
Give me the feeling you want the day after tomorrow."
As he spoke, he paused deliberately before continuing:
"By the way, my thoughts after watching this are the same as your coach's review. I don't want him to be the same."
After saying this, he didn't even look at the three of them. He turned around and left with a smile on his face, as if he had swallowed several kilograms of food.
I sneered at these little guys in my heart. I have been in this position for so many years, and I still don’t know what you people are most afraid of. You all have nowhere to vent your energy every day, always thinking about making big things happen.
Corporal punishment has no effect at all. The best punishment is to let them write a letter admitting their mistakes and write their thoughts after reading it.
In his impression, no matter how irritating the person is, as long as he writes six or seven self-criticisms, he will become submissive and will not cause trouble at all.
The urine test cubicle looks like the kind of toilet that used to be used in elementary school. Although it is separated, the behavior of people going to the toilet can be seen from all directions.
Li Xiao was not too embarrassed. After all, he was an old man. He had to finish urinating as he had to take 20 tests later. Time waited for no one.
The four people confirmed at the same time that they were not cheating and handed the urine samples to the staff.
Due to the advancement of technology, rapid testing of quantitative samples now only takes one minute to produce results, so several people wait for the results to be negative before proceeding to the next test.
Of course, there is a possibility of errors in the rapid examination, so the remaining urine will be sent to a more rigorous institution for in-depth analysis.
If anomalies occur after in-depth analysis, the evaluation will still be declared invalid, and the participants will be blacklisted and banned for 3 to 5 years.
The simplest test to start with is the one that all athletes need to train for, which is running.
Running can exercise most of the muscles in the body and strengthen lung capacity. Whether an athlete is strong or not depends basically on his running. If he is not even qualified in running, it will be difficult to make any big improvements in other aspects.
.
There are two referees at the starting line and two at the finish line. Of course, as referees, they only play a supervisory role. Whether it is timing or starting, they are not responsible for it.
Moreover, running events are now completely taken over by electronic equipment, which is not only more accurate, but also eliminates the possibility of personnel fraud.
Li Xiao had also changed into sportswear, did a few simple warm-up exercises, and stood on the starting line.
Originally, when they saw Li Xiao's complete set of bright red sports equipment worth several thousand yuan, the trio were a little envious.
But seeing Li Xiao's clumsy warm-up exercise, everyone burst into laughter. Now that there is no director here, they dare to be bold.
Because Li Xiao is so amateurish in doing warm-up exercises, it is estimated that even beginners cannot do such amateur warm-up exercises. It may seem like a wide-open warm-up, but in fact many muscles and joints are not fully opened.
It's pretty good that just this kind of warm-up exercise can bring out 70% of your strength. After all, the body's muscle reactions are slower than usual in winter.
Li Xiao glanced at the three people laughing next to them and couldn't help rolling their eyes. They were laughing so happily now that their faces would hurt later.
The starter was a young lady wearing white clothes and a red headband. She was still sweating, and she must have been exercising just now.
She was still confused when she was suddenly transferred to help, but as a professional athlete, she basically did it every day, so she picked up the starting gun with ease.
"preparation."
The electronic starting gun in her hand was raised, and Li Xiao took a deep breath.
"run!"
The electronic starting gun in the young lady's hand made a bright gunshot, and at the same time, the electronic timer on the trigger started immediately.
In the midst of everyone's complex looks of ridicule, expectation, and indifference.
The only red figure on the runway flew into the distance like an arrow.
Everyone present was a professional athlete, and the moment Li Xiao started, everyone's eyes changed.
The young lady in white looked at the person running away, and her face, which had been pulled back from the helplessness of a strong man, immediately became surprised.
She immediately covered her mouth with her hands, fearing that her scream would affect the performance of the red lightning on the track.
The first thought in everyone's mind is, fast, too fast, like lightning, like a red lightning.
Suddenly there was a sound of swallowing saliva in the field. Before a few people could react, there was a beeping sound from the other side of the track, which meant that Li Xiao had crossed the 100-meter finish line.
The atmosphere on the originally empty runway suddenly became solid, and everyone's breathing became rapid and heavy because they saw the numbers displayed on the timer at the finish line.
【10.404】
!!!!!!
The three members of the review team, who originally had sneers on their faces, almost dropped their jaws to the ground. What did they see in 10.404 seconds???
As a professional athlete, they are certainly familiar with the results that athletes of different levels can achieve, and the 100-meter dash that is the most tested is the one that everyone tests the most.
The standard for the 100-meter run for second-level athletes is 11.74 seconds, for first-level athletes is 10.93 seconds, for national-level athletes it is 10.50 seconds, and for international-level athletes it is 10.25 seconds.
Everyone swallowed again, this time the voice was louder, and everyone looked at each other as if they had seen something incredible.
The two supervising referees standing at the finish line also had a look of astonishment on their faces. They looked at the electronic timers in their hands and saw that the electronic timers erected next to the track showed that the time on both sides was exactly the same, both 10.404.
Second.
The oldest referee quickly picked up the walkie-talkie:
"Immediately check whether there is any problem with the starter of the starting gun and the infrared device on the starting line."
That's right, although they were surprised when they saw this result for the first time, the first problem they thought of after reacting was that the machine had an error, not that the guy who suddenly popped out of the crack of the stone was a national-level athlete.
.
Li Xiao was also surprised when he saw his result. It seemed that there were still some deviations in his timing. He had never run so fast before.
This immediately exposed his strength, but fortunately the problem was not too big and did not exceed the standard too much.
What if he accidentally broke the world record just now, it would be a lot of fun. Li Xiao estimates that he will be locked up in the national team and win glory for the country for the rest of his life. Don't even think about it.
The frantic inspection even alerted Director Zhang, who had already returned to the office to drink tea.
Seeing that the number 10.404 was still displayed on the end point, the calm Director Zhang also rubbed his eyes, fearing that he had seen the wrong thing, but after confirming the number above, he also took a breath of cold air.
He hurriedly walked to several referees, and after whispering again, he made sure that there were no problems with the machinery, equipment, start and finish.
The calm look on Director Zhang's face completely disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, and he looked at Li Xiao again.
Very standard height of 1.8cm, neither tall nor short, good height for formal sports.
The muscle tissue on the body is very well-proportioned. You can tell at a glance that they are very healthy muscles. They are not the kind of muscles that are produced by eating protein powder. They are very suitable for exercising and exerting force. You can tell by looking at the muscles on the legs that they are particularly suitable for explosive growth.
His eyes are very sharp, and he is very motivated at first glance. With a little training, he will definitely be a sports genius.
As for age, your ambition does not depend on your age. As long as you do well enough, age is not a problem at all.
As the saying goes, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, if it can be a good mouse, it is a good cat.
After the results came out, Director Zhang's attitude completely changed. After all, he is now joining the provincial team of Guangdong Province.
If he really enters the national championship in the future and gets good rankings in national or even international competitions, when others mention him, they will mention that he is an athlete from Guangdong Province in the Han Dynasty.
I was already well-off at that time. As the director who discovered him first-hand, it was not easy for me to be promoted and get a salary increase?
Under Director Zhang's instructions, everyone checked the equipment again, and this time the starter changed from the young lady who came over temporarily to make up the numbers to Director Zhang.
Such a genius needs to be taken good care of and left with some love. When Li Xiao wins an award in an international competition, he will have everything in the thank you list. You can get one for yourself.
Moreover, the original assessment was to be run three times. Of course, if you get a satisfactory result in one run, you can actually only take the test once.
But as a newcomer, Li Xiao didn't know their internal rules at all, so he was stupidly called back.
Seeing the reappearance of Director Zhang, he was a little surprised, but how could a mature person like Director Zhang reveal his secrets? He quickly said with a smile:
"I've finished my work over there and just came over here to take a look. I'll give the order for the second test. Hurry up and get ready."
Although he felt that Director Zhang's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, he didn't know the reason and was a little confused, so he returned to the starting point.
When he saw Li Xiao standing in a standing position preparing to start the race, even Director Zhang, who was well-informed, calm and controlled, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He felt that his teeth hurt a little. Could it be that the 10.404 seconds just now was achieved using this amateur starting motion?
However, he did not ask, but shouted loudly:
"Ready!!!......Run!!!"
The electronic starting gun was pulled again, the gunshot sounded again, and a red lightning appeared again on the empty track.
This time Li Xiao slowed down slightly by half a step, but the speed was still quite fast.
Everyone immediately looked at the timer
【10.505】
Although it was 0.1 seconds slower, according to the habit of removing the last decimal point, Li Xiao's result still reached the level of a national-level athlete.
Seeing this scene, Peng Yuqing and Xie Bing, as recommenders, immediately showed proud expressions on their faces.
The faces of the two people were very happy. Although they had done a basic test for Li Xiao before, after all, they used the simplest stopwatch to test, so of course there would be some mistakes.
Moreover, Li Xiao's speed was not that fast at that time. At most, he had only reached the level of a first-class athlete. They were overjoyed to achieve such results.
