Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 204 Preheating for Chinese Martial Arts
It is almost inevitable that Liu Ming's brilliant record of two gold medals a day on the second match day of the Doha World Championships will cause a sensation in China.

Athletics events, especially the [-]-meter sprint, have been missed by Asian athletes because of their high commercial value. Reaching the finals is often regarded as a milestone achievement.

In these two projects, Liu Ming has made a move similar to a tiger's mouth, which will undoubtedly be welcomed by the domestic media, which can be seen from the explosive growth of the number of fans on Weibo.

It is worth mentioning that there were many people filming the turmoil at the Huaxia station last night, but those foreign media whose consciences were eaten by dogs managed to keep silent.

Even Liu Ming had to silently give a thumbs up to a boss from a certain security department.

"Well, nice job!"

However, when the results of the second day of the Doha World Championships spread throughout Europe and the United States, it still aroused great attention.

Two yellow-skinned Asian athletes from ancient China took away the gold and bronze medals in the men's [-]-meter field of the World Championships in one fell swoop in front of well-known overlords like Blake and Gatlin.

Europe: "Before the game, the media has been proclaiming: the old emperor abdicated and the new king ascended the throne. Isn't that the invincible American athlete Coleman? Why was the gold medal taken away by a Chinese! The time of 9 seconds 68 is really amazing!"

The United States: "There is definitely a shady scene! Asians don't have this strength. Except for us Americans, everyone here is a piece of rubbish."

Europe: "Asian athletes have always been mediocre in the [-]-meter event, and after Huaxia Liu Ming returned to the track and field this year, he was almost a PB. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to make such great progress and breakthroughs in such a short period of time."

Miguo: "Then what are you waiting for, check for doping... Wait, you said the gold medal winner is Huaxia Miracle Liu! Alright. Ji Cao, please sit down."

Europe: "But he just won the men's long jump championship and won the men's [-]-meter gold medal. Regardless of his strength, it seems very unscientific to talk about the distribution of physical strength."

Miguo: "Seeing that you have never seen the world, let's learn about Chinese martial arts. This is not the same way as Newton at all."

Europe: "At present, the Huaxia team tops the medal list with 3 golds, 2 silvers and 1 bronze, while the US team only won 1 gold with the women's hammer throw. This is really scary to think about."

Mi Guo: "It's okay, they only have one magical Liu, and they can't make any big waves. In the final analysis, everyone here is a son!"

Europe: "With all due respect, including the men's 4×100 meters, Liu Ming represented Huaxia in this World Championships and participated in a total of 8 events."

Mi Guo: "Damn... trough! Don't let anyone stop me, I want to learn Kung Fu!"

a few hours later.

The AIU announced the results of the second random inspection of award-winning athletes.

The drug test results showed that Liu Ming was clean!

So, when the possibility of stimulants was ruled out, the Chinese martial arts craze began to ferment quietly.

……

Because Doha has a typical tropical climate.

Even if the air conditioner in the gymnasium is open 24 hours a day, it will still make athletes feel various discomforts.

Therefore, the organizer generally arranges the competition after 8:[-] pm.

The same is true for this World Championships.

This frees up time during the day.

The rest time for the participating athletes will be relatively sufficient, but the staff of the delegation other than the participating athletes are extremely busy during this period.

Because the organizer will set aside a special venue during the game day for the participating teams of each delegation to hold press meetings.

The Huaxia Athletics Team won three gold medals in a row yesterday, and Liu Ming even won two gold medals, including a long jump event for the first time. Therefore, the most media reporters gathered at the meeting.

Considering that Liu Ming will participate in the first round of the men's 200m, the men's triple jump final and the 800m semi-final in the evening, Director Yu did not bring him to attend.

But during the media questioning session, the reporters will definitely not let him go.

A blond reporter stood up and said, "Liu Ming's performance in the [-]-meter sprint event is still traceable, but what surprised me is that he has such a strong ability in the long jump event. May I ask when Liu Ming started to practice long jump?"

Director Yu smiled slightly, "In the field of track and field, there is a fine tradition of sprint and long jump. Athletes who can win the championship in the [-]-meter track will also achieve good results in the double-jump long jump. After Liu Ming broke the Asian record in the [-]-meter Asian Championships, I did suggest him to consider the double-jump."

But the suggestion I gave him at the time was only 200 meters. Who knew that this grandson would be omnipotent by doing both.

No one knew how shocked Director Yu was when he got the results of Liu Ming's domestic qualifiers.

The blond reporter has a very keen sense of smell, "You mean that Liu Ming started practicing long jump professionally after the Asian Championships?"

Director Yu didn't say a word this time, but the trouble in his heart leaked out uncontrollably.

This grandson has never participated in the national team training.

Who knows if he started practicing after the Asian Championships.

But Director Yu's silent performance, in the eyes of the reporters, is more like acquiescence.

"Oh my God! You must know that the gap between the Asian Championships and the World Championships is less than two months!"

"So two months of hard training allowed him to win the world championship? Fantastic Liu's talent is too amazing!"

"What hard training! He signed basketball to the Lakers, football he signed to Liverpool, and the time spent on track and field training will not exceed two hours a day!"

"Two hours is not enough for me to eat dinner! So, Liu used my meal time to become a world champion?"

Another reporter got up and asked: "Based on Liu Ming's performance in this long jump final, I can be sure that he is one of the strongest long jump players in the world. But I am curious, is Liu Ming also as good in normal training?"

Director Yu thought for a while and said, "Actually, Liu Ming has always been a contestant. His performance in official competitions is often better than in practice. Speaking of results, in fact, Liu Ming jumped 8 meters in the qualifiers last month, breaking the Asian record. It's just that the competition was a domestic qualifier, so everyone may not care."

The reporters present showed expressions of sudden realization.

"It turned out that Liu Ming had already skipped 8 meters a month ago! It seems that Liu Ming's championship in the Track and Field World Cup this time is not a coincidence."

While the reporters were discussing in low voices, another reporter asked: "In yesterday's competition, Liu Ming participated in the finals of one shot 800 meters, two shots 100 meters and long jump. We all know that a person's energy is limited. How does Liu Ming allocate his energy? Does he have any special training methods?"

This reporter obviously meant something.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know what the so-called "special training method" refers to.

However, AIU's second drug test against Liu Ming has passed.

This problem is now tantamount to drowsiness and someone sends a pillow.

I saw Director Yu first glanced at the head of the propaganda department next to him, and then said unhurriedly: "I personally think that this may have something to do with the Chinese martial arts that Liu Ming practiced since he was a child."
