Chapter 24 Provincial Team
In sports, there is actually no sports department called the national team.

In all sports, athletes actually train and compete with provincial teams. When they participate in international competitions, the best athletes are selected to form the national team for training.

Therefore, the competition between the provincial team and the provincial team is also very fierce.

However, athletes are not from any province, they just join the provincial team.

Rather, the title of professional athlete registered in which province is the athlete of that province.

Chen Xiong was born as a private athlete and has not registered as a professional athlete. In theory, he can join any provincial team.

Without any professional training, Chen Xiong can run within 2 hours and 13 minutes. Chen Xiong already has the strength to qualify for the International World Championships and the Olympic Games. This is not a small temptation for every provincial team. .

It's like walking on the street and picking up a third-class merit for nothing!

Li Sanjiang smiled so hard that his teeth almost came out. This young man has registered as a professional athlete in Ehu Province. Unless the provincial team leaders above come forward, their track and field coaches are not qualified to recruit people.

As for whether there is a risk of taking medicine?
Just kidding, marathon is not a short- to medium-distance running, at least stimulants are not magic drugs in this, and their performance improvement is not high.

Otherwise, in international marathon events, American athletes would be number one in the world.

Li Sanjiang also used a preconceived strategy, bluffed the group of old friends, and found an excuse to run out first.

He dared to say that within two hours, the group of people would react and ask him one by one for Chen Xiong's contact information.

Ha ha, sample.

"Xiao Chen, are you going to have something to do later? Do you want to have lunch together?"

Li Sanjiang smiled and sent out the invitation: "Since you have registered as a professional athlete, you can also learn about the benefits of the track and field team. Let's chat while eating. Anyway, you have to go to the track and field association to receive athlete allowances and go through the formalities. I can also stop by. Talk to you."

"That's fine."

Chen Xiong thought about it and agreed.

It would be great to register as an athlete and receive subsidies, but he had not yet thought clearly about whether to join the track and field team.

He wouldn't mind being a professional runner on the track team if it cost less and was closer to home.

In case there is too much money and too little money, then just drag it down.

Making money, practicing boxing, and developing advanced skills are his primary goals.

"Let's go, it's almost noon, and I can also introduce you to a few seniors in the circle."

Li Sanjiang happily led Chen Xiong to the starting point. As he approached the door, he saw Tian Liang, the coach of the Ganjiang Provincial Track and Field Team, quietly coming out of the venue. His eyes lit up when he saw him, and he whispered Shouted: "Lao Li, come here quickly, I want to ask you something, damn, you are a dog!"

The tone of the second half suddenly increased, as if stepping on dog shit, angry and wronged.

Naturally, it also attracted the attention of people in the venue.

Li Sanjiang coughed lightly, patted Tian Liang's shoulder, showing an expression of 'you are still too young', and then smiled to the people in the venue: "Well, I am the host at noon today, let's go out and have a good meal. "

Another coach laughed and said, "Why is Lao Li so generous today? I remember the last time I came, I ate at the canteen of the track and field team."

When he walked out of the venue and saw Chen Xiong on the side, he was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and cursed: "Old Li, you are a real dog. You just said that this young man must be... wuwu"

"Ahem, I'll punish myself with three cups. I'll punish myself with three cups later. Let's go for a walk, eat, and celebrate Xiao Chen's victory."

Li Sanjiang quickly stopped talking, because it is not good for the parties to hear some words.

Chen Xiong didn't know any of this group of people, so he could only say hello politely, and silently acted as a little transparent, accepting some inquiries from others.

A group of people drove a few cars, arrived at the guest house of the Sports Bureau, and opened a large box.

In addition to several provincial team coaches, there are also two leaders of the event organizer, and several officers from the Provincial Sports Bureau and the Athletics Association.

A group of people who are engaged in sports are also known to each other. Li Sanjiang first ordered a few hard dishes, then passed the menu to others, and then went downstairs.

After a while, he brought up a small plastic bucket of ten catties of liquor sold in bulk, and put it on the table: "There is nothing to entertain, just drink the grain wine brewed by the hostel itself."

After speaking, each person poured a cup, about two taels.

Tian Liang is also a wine lover, so he took a sip when he picked it up, and sure enough, it tasted exactly the same as the Moutai on the market.

Well, the brewing quality of this guest house is really good.

When Chen Xiong arrived, Chen Xiong subconsciously covered the wine glass: "Well, I don't drink."

Li Sanjiang smiled and said, "Who doesn't drink while playing sports, let's have a drink."

"I really can't drink~ I'm allergic to alcohol."

Chen Xiong took out his trump card used at the class reunion in previous years, but it was a bit difficult to use at this kind of dinner table.

An officer of the sports bureau chuckled, "I've never seen a young person who is really allergic to alcohol. This table is either a leader or a senior who runs around. Xiao Chen, you have two drinks with you, it's not a big problem."

As he spoke, he pushed the wine glass in front of him to Chen Xiong, obviously filling it up for him.

Chen Xiong was silent for a while, and frowned slightly.

It's not like he can't drink.

Not even a bad drinker.

But he has a small problem. He can only take a few sips when he is happy with his brothers and friends. At any other time, drinking will only make him more depressed. There seems to be a fire burning in his heart, and the more he drinks, the more frustrated he becomes.

It’s like my thoughts are blocked!

This is actually one of the reasons why he plunged into the professional writing circle after graduation, as it can reduce a lot of unnecessary entertainment.

If Chen Xiong hadn't awakened his personal panel, and hadn't written anything famous in his book, he might have to work hard for his livelihood, and forced himself to smile at the wine table he didn't like.

Can't drink?

It's a joke, if you don't like it or you're not used to it, it can be worth a few dollars. People can't even give up money for the sake of dignity.

But now
He felt that there was really no need to wrong him. If these people could eat at the same table as him, he would be giving them face.

Just kidding, he is a man with cheats!

Chen Xiong lightly "heh", just wanted to get up, but before he could move much, he was held down by Li Sanjiang.

Li Sanjiang laughed: "Hey, Xiao Chen just finished running a marathon. Drinking is not good for the heart. Let me drink for him."

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and then poured wine for the people behind with a smile, as if nothing happened.

Take it with me.

But no one at the dinner table is a human being. The expression on the corner of Chen Xiong's mouth just now can be seen clearly by those who are close. The officer of the Sports Bureau knocked on the table first, and then smiled: "Since Xiao Chen doesn't drink, wait a minute." Can you order more food for the meeting, the food in the guest house of the Sports Bureau is still good, and you shouldn’t be able to eat it outside.”

Several coaches also smiled and told some interesting stories to warm up the atmosphere at the dinner table.

This guy is not young, but he still looks like a thorn.

But it doesn't matter if you are irritating. As long as you have the ability, sports teams have always been more irritating.

Li Sanjiang poured a round of wine, and there was still more than half of the liquor in the small plastic bucket. It was obviously a tough battle at noon today.

He first took a few bites of the food and pressed it, then walked around with the people at the table. After taking care of all aspects, he asked Chen Xiong with a smile:
"Xiao Chen, it seems to me that you are not from the sports circle. How do you usually train? Do you have a teacher to guide you in training?"

"Many people at this table are from the running circle of Ehu Province. Maybe we are from the same school, haha~"
