Chapter 337 Digging a well when thirsty

The news of Zhang Guan's entry into the top eight of the French Open spread throughout the country at the first time, but it did not cause a sensation. Not long ago, Zhang Guan just won an Australian Open championship, so many domestic audiences thought that, Zhang Guan will definitely have a chance to win the French Open again, so a mere top eight obviously cannot satisfy the desire of the domestic audience.

The Tennis Center was full of jubilation. The women’s singles players were wiped out in this year’s Australian Open, and the women’s doubles also performed poorly. Therefore, for the Tennis Center, only Zhang Guan is left in this year’s French Open People support the facade.

Fortunately, Zhang Guan is the first player in China to participate in the French Open, so every victory Zhang Guan wins and every step forward represents a breakthrough in tennis, which is something worthy of celebration by the Tennis Center.

However, in the field management center, the atmosphere is not so harmonious.

Every February is the time when the track and field competitions start. The first is the series of indoor games. At that time, Zhang Guan was busy participating in the Australian Open. And an Australian Open Grand Slam champion has also made many people forget about the track and field indoor competition. After all, this is the first time a Chinese has won a Grand Slam singles championship. Who would care about a small track and field indoor competition? game.

Under the leadership of Director Qu, the Field Management Center acted like an ostrich. They did not lift the suspension for Zhang Guan, and Director Qu did not want to lift the suspension for Zhang Guan, so they took a stance of not caring about Zhang Guan.

March and April are the competition periods for race walking and long-distance events, and the Grand Prix of the Athletics Federation in May is not very important. The ostriches in the Athletic Management Center can continue to stick their heads in the sand. But it was different in June, the hunter kicked the ostrich's ass, which made the ostrich feel pain, because the IAAF Golden League was about to start.

Zhang Guan has won the IAAF Golden League's million-dollar award for two consecutive years, especially last year when he won the unprecedented "double-six consecutive victories". Of course, Zhang Guan is the most watched player.

In terms of event setting, this year's Golden League canceled the 400-meter event and changed it to a 110-meter hurdles competition. Moreover, the organizers seemed to be worried about Zhang Guan's long jump ability, and the men's long jump was also changed to the men's triple jump. But the men's middle-distance running event is a threshold that the organizers can't get around. In the end, the organizer chose 1500 meters in the middle-distance running, because the 1500-meter running is Zhang Guan's weakest track and field event. Of course, if Zhang Guanfei wants to participate in the 100m and 1500m at the same time, he still has a chance to win a "double six consecutive victories".

The first race of the IAAF Golden League is still in Oslo, Norway, on June 15, when Zhang Guan's half-year suspension is about to end. Although the number of days is still a few points away from the full six months, this is just a word from the field management center. Zhang Guan still has hope to hit the "Golden League Million Award Triple Deal".

The Golden League's million-dollar award for three consecutive villages sounds awesome. This is not a small political achievement for the Athletic Management Center and even the entire Athletic Association. Director Qu must not let it go. of.

"Giving him a six-month suspension can be regarded as a small lesson for him. If he dares to be disobedient in the future, hum!" Director Qu thought very "Ah Q".

In fact, Zhang Guan was banned for half a year, Director Qu did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and caused a whole lot of trouble. However, when the Golden League is related to Director Qu's own achievements and his own interests, Director Qu has no choice but to bow to the reality. He still needs Zhang Guanlai to give him his achievements. Be a winner.

"Let Zhang Guan participate in the competition first, and there will be opportunities to punish him later!" Director Qu had no reason to make trouble with his political achievements, so he dialed the number of his secretary, who trotted over after a while.

"This Zhang Guan has been suspended for almost half a year now! Young people are always prone to make mistakes. I don't know how he has reflected on himself in the past six months and has he realized his mistakes." Director Qu's voice changed, and then Said: "Next, give him a chance to make up for his mistakes. This year's IAAF Golden League is about to start. You can find someone to contact Zhang Guan and tell him that the center allows him to participate in this year's Golden League, but he must give I won the championship, it is a crime and a meritorious service!"

The secretary immediately nodded and said yes, but did not leave immediately. So Director Qu asked, "Why, is there anything else?"

"Director, what if Zhang Guan refuses to participate?" The secretary then whispered: "Because of the suspension, the relationship between Zhang Guan and us is also very tense. Zhang Guan may not be willing to participate!"

As the secretary spoke, he secretly glanced at Director Qu, but thought to himself: You, Director Qu, offended someone, you were banned and suspended, and you only remembered it when there was a competition. Now that Zhang Guan is playing tennis well, and he is about to win his second Grand Slam, why is he here to play for you?

Director Qu slapped the table and put on a majestic look: "How dare he not participate! If he does not participate in the Golden League, he will be suspended!"

When director Qu said this, his voice stopped abruptly. He remembered that the move of suspension seemed useless to Zhang Guan. Isn't Zhang Guan being suspended now? In the end, he played very well in the French Open. The news is seen every day, and the attention has not decreased in the slightest. He has almost contracted the headlines of the sports pages of major media. If there is another French Open champion, it is estimated that the headlines of all media The headline is Zhang Guan again.

In the eyes of bureaucrats like Director Qu, athletes are like objects, they come and go as soon as they are called. If you are allowed to compete, you have to participate. , If you dare to resist, you will retire! Simple and rude is their only standard of style, and punishment is their consistent management method. They never think that athletes have the right to have an equal dialogue with them. All they care about is whether athletes can create political achievements for them.

However, this time, Director Qu picked the wrong opponent. The tried-and-true method failed in front of Zhang Guan, because Zhang Guan is not only a track and field athlete, he can also engage in other sports. He is an all-rounder. athlete.

Director Qu felt that the matter was a little difficult, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly thought of a solution.

"We have to be prepared for this matter. It is good if Zhang Guan is willing to participate, but if Zhang Guan really refuses to participate in the Golden League, isn't that just a trick? He is not willing to represent the country. This is a big deal." Scandal! Humph, no matter how good he gets in tennis, I can still piss him off!"

The first chapter was delivered today. The competition for this month's monthly pass is too fierce. Don't give up after passing the level. Continue to fight through the level. Today, you have to fight for four more chapters!
