Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 648 You and I are both sent from the sky!
What is the most annoying thing in the world?
The team you spend money to support does not consider you and may even stab you in the back.

Although Liu Xiang's team is somewhat different and their salaries are paid through the Athletics Association, they ultimately come from his business income, but it just goes through the Athletics Association's account in the end, but there is no difference in essence.

If Chen Ran were in his position, he would definitely fire such a team doctor without hesitation.

Employers, if not considering the employer's health, any other reasons are pale and useless.

But this time, Chen Ran was also a little unhappy because of the attitude of the team doctor just now: "Is it a big deal to eat the emperor's food?"

If you want to complain to your boss, go ahead.

Chen Ran didn't care at all.

He was absolutely free and didn't think this guy's gossip would have any effect.

As for Liu Xiang, although Chen Ran did not want him to repeat the scene of the previous Yanjing Olympics, the decision-making power was not in his hands, and he himself was not willing to interfere too much in matters that had nothing to do with him.

If Liu Xiang had not come to his tennis training base today, this scene would not have happened.

Half a day later, the team doctor had left, but Liu Xiang still chose to stay in Sanya.

In his words, the winter training here is effective since the climate is warm.

In this cold winter, is there any place in China more suitable for winter training than Sanya?

Of course, no one else knows what he really thinks.

But Liu Xiang is from Shanghai after all, and he has a lot of little thoughts on his mind. He is also living in a relatively international city. Some things in particular were vague to him before, but after being pointed out, they suddenly became clear.

"I don't care about anything, maybe their opinions. After all, I am irreplaceable just like you." Liu Xiang said confidently.

Indeed, this is his greatest source of confidence and cannot be replaced.

This is unique.

In the more than ten years after him, no athlete could stand on the 110-meter hurdles track in an international competition, and could not even reach the threshold of the finals.

Even his future junior sister named Wu, who is competing in the women's 100-meter hurdles and likes to point her finger at the sky and draw symbols, and do all kinds of marketing, may have surpassed many Olympic champions in terms of popularity and fame, but when you ask about her results, she was only in the Olympic preliminaries.

Just imagine, if she is lucky enough to make it to the finals, even if she is the last one, she will be so proud of herself.

But to be precise, in the future, whether it is the women's 100-meter hurdles or the men's 110-meter hurdles, as long as Chinese athletes can achieve some results, even if they enter the semi-finals, they will receive a lot of traffic. It can only be said that this is entirely due to Liu Xiang, who has brought attention to this project.

"Haha... I'm glad you think so. After all, the gold medal in Athens has guaranteed you a lifetime of wealth." Chen Ran said calmly, "I'm sure you're like me. Not only can no one replace us now, but there won't be anyone in the next 20 years."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Liu Xiang was a little incredulous. "The next twenty years? That's too long. Who knows what will happen?"

After all, he didn't have a God's perspective like Chen Ran, nor did he think as far as Chen Ran.

Liu Xiang just felt that he was irreplaceable at the moment, but Chen Ran actually said directly that no one could replace him in the next 20 years.

"Of course, we are the kind of people who are lucky enough to be born in heaven. We can only encounter them by chance, hehe..." Chen Ran continued, "This is different from table tennis or diving. Their talents appear in waves, continuously."

Liu Xiang seemed to understand, and asked, "What about Yao Ming?"

"He can be considered as such, but he can't change anything by himself. After all, basketball is a team sport. Frankly speaking, no matter how many honors he gets in the NBA, it actually has nothing to do with the country. It just allows the NBA to make more money from China." Chen Ran said as a matter of course. He was even somewhat fortunate that his sudden appearance indirectly slowed down the speed of the NBA's expansion into the Chinese market.

After all, fans like to compare his performance with Yao Ming's. It's really too miserable. He was completely beaten.

In addition, because of Chen Ran's relationship, Anta signed Li Na instead of Yao Ming's teammate on the Rockets.

Li Ning directly bet heavily on Ivanovic with a big contract, which was a huge success, which also prevented them from looking for NBA players to endorse their products so far.

Liu Xiang also thought it made sense. After all, his fellow Shanghai native worked for an American club.

He is different from Chen Ran. Even when Chen Ran participated in Grand Slam tournaments, he carried the Chinese flag behind him. Moreover, when he won the French Open, the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played.

Chen Ran would never say like the hot-tempered Li Na that she participated in the tour in her personal capacity rather than in the name of the country.

In terms of speaking ability, Chen Ran is closer to Li Na's fellow Hubei native Zheng Qinwen, who speaks beautiful Mandarin.

"The Purple Star falling from the sky, this description is good." Liu Xiang was also amused.

He also likes this title and feels very proud and proud.

"So, don't feel pressured. Don't think about what will happen if you can't win the Beijing Olympics. Don't take the leaders' words seriously. Not winning the championship won't affect your life of wealth and honor."

Chen Ran patted his shoulder.

He could only analyze it from this perspective, instead of putting Liu Xiang and the track and field team in opposition.

"You think so too?"

Of course Chen Ran wanted to win the gold medal, but he said: "A medal is fine, not necessarily a gold medal. Even if I don't get a medal, it won't erase the gold medal in Athens, don't you think?"

"That's right!" Liu Xiang nodded, "So... even if I don't win the gold medal, it's not the end of the world."

"That's right." Chen Ran sighed softly, "We have no replacements. When we retire, people will understand how precious and rare it is to have talents like us. People who come after us will have a hard time even seeing our backs, let alone catching up with us."

"I believe it, and I am very sure of it!"

These are not the popular stars in the entertainment industry who can be mass-produced like an assembly line!

No matter how much money you spend, you cannot train athletes of their level unless technology is advanced enough to allow genetic modification.

Then, he remembered what a certain official media said, and said, "Although the xx Daily has always said that there is only someone in the era, but not the era of someone. Maybe this is true in other industries, but in the field of sports, this is our era."

"It is not the times that make us, but we that make the times!"

Liu Xiang looked at Chen Ran with complicated eyes, and for the first time he agreed with what he said from the bottom of his heart.

Yes, we are all the purple stars sent from heaven!

It is irreplaceable, so why should I worry about it?
