just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 152 Interview,

National Track and Field Team Training Base

Lin Mu's coach's office.

Yang Jian, holding the microphone, waited for Lin Mu's answer.

"If you say that you have achieved some results, I agree. As for the good results, well... it's barely counted...!" Lin Mu, who was silent for a few seconds, said lightly: "Our track and field events in China have always been poor. It’s too ideal, and sprint is relatively weak. There are many innate factors. But our predecessors have not given up. In order to break through such factors, we have paid a lot. Now it is somewhat rewarding. If we really want to find some reasons for it , I think it is the original heart, the original heart, the unremitting determination and perseverance of countless predecessors and colleagues..."

Yang Jian nodded noncommittally, he found that this coach Lin, this is not easy to do.It's always said in a vague way, even when it comes to these achievements that break through history, there is no real meaning in praising the predecessors in general!He never talked about himself.How humble is that.The answer is good, and it is also in line with the interview tradition.But it's impossible for the current documentaries to have no dry goods at all.

And this time the leader came out and explained that the reason why this documentary was born was that a higher-up leader spoke about the track and field team on some occasion.It's more like letting the people have a true understanding of the situation in track and field.Breaking 10 seconds for [-] meters has reasons worth writing about even if you consider it from a national level.Originally, the station planned to do a program to report on it. After all, a breakthrough like sprinting is indeed of great significance.It's just a question of how far it can be achieved.

Now, whether the words of the leader are intentional or unintentional, they have come down layer by layer, and it is impossible for all parties to ignore them.That's why this scene was specially arranged.The leaders of Taili made it clear that there should be empty, general, and large content, but there should also be specific, even sensitive ones.This is the leader's idea realized by the people below!

In the materials I have been preparing, from the leaders of the field management center to the leaders of the track and field team, almost all of them said some "true" things. Anyway, it means that there are breakthroughs in achievements, but the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.It does not shy away from some more acute and profound questions.

to the key athletes and coaches.In the past, people at the top were always nagging and those at the bottom were honest.Fortunately this time, when it came time to interview the last and most critical coach, it was the other way around.It is understandable that other events are avoided, not even the sprint event that he is responsible for.

Yang Jian wouldn't just end it like this, but that's not okay either.So he signaled the cameraman to turn off the lens first.After the camera was turned off, Yang Jian continued to communicate with Lin Mu: "Director Lin, before coming here, we have communicated with the field management center and our track and field team. The leaders mean what to say. No signs, no fights. Stick, don't cover up, our documentary this time is requested by the leaders above, to let countless citizens truly understand the current situation of our track and field team and track and field people. We don't hide our honors, and we don't cover up our flaws. You can see no……?"

Lin Mu took a deep look at Yang Jian, then smiled, and answered the wrong question: "Are you a professional sports commentator? I actually like your commentary. It's passionate but not sensational. It's very real! Why, now I'm doing it Here comes the job of a reporter?!"

Yang Jian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Mu really knew him. It wasn't a cliché, so he was very happy.

"Director Lin, I'm here for you. I narrated the whole World Championships. To be honest, I didn't consider myself a narrator at that time. I also like track and field. It's true that China can make such a big breakthrough." It's not easy, but I've been excited from the beginning to the end. This time, Taili and I specially applied to come here, just want to meet you!
you……"

Lin Mu waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't always talk to you, you, we are about the same age, maybe I'm a little younger. I didn't let the athletes in the team call them that, and I'm really not used to it. Hehe! "

Yang Jian saw Lin Mu's casualness, which was completely different from the casualness on the training ground and during the interview just now. It was truly calm and indifferent, not pretentious.It seems that this is not a harsh and serious person.But facing the camera, he "pretended" in an instant.

"Coach Lin, let's not talk about you. I just want to communicate. Let's not do the interview now. I've wanted to get to know you since the World Championships. It's not easy for me to come here. Let's talk?"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded.Let's just chat, anyway, the time is like this, and I have heard many games commented by Yang Jian in my previous life, so I should know a famous person.Although he is not very famous now.

Yang Jian was very happy, put down the microphone and started chatting with Lin Mu, mainly because he asked a lot of questions that he cared about.For example, how did Lin Mu think of retiring and becoming a teacher, and he still leads students to train.For example, why would you choose to bring an 18-year-old youth who has never been in professional sports.For another example, how could we think of training our Chinese sprinters by strengthening the body and strengthening the core strength.Etc., etc.

Like a real sports fan, Yang Jian is concerned about many issues.

Regarding these, Lin Mu had nothing to shy away from, and chatted with him casually.

Time passed slowly, and the conversation between the two of them became more and more scattered, and the two of them laughed lightly from time to time in the office.Until a sudden "cough cough" interrupted them.Only then did Yang Jian close his mouth with unsatisfactory intentions.

He looked at the direction of the sound and saw that it was his assistant reminding him that there was almost no time left at noon, but the last part of the interview was not over yet. They would continue to follow the athletes later, and they did not want to stay up very late at night. Once people started chatting, it was endless.In the beginning it was about sports, but later on everything in culture, technology, economy, and even the world structure came out.He had to make a sound to remind him.

Yang Jian came back to his senses, he really didn't want to finish it, just like talking about the mountains with his good roommate back in college.Moreover, the person who is talking about the mountains is still a very knowledgeable person, who can catch up no matter where he talks.Make him very comfortable.But there is still work to be done.

"Director Lin, let's talk about the last part of the interview. Let's talk about it. Our team has said it. You can say anything, just say what you really think in your heart. Let's wrap up the next part. What do you think?"

"Then tell the truth, but only for sprint events. I don't know much about the others." After nodding thoughtfully, Lin Mu emphasized.

After Lin Mu agreed, the interview started again.Then Lin Mu also naturally became serious.

Speeding up the process and not being polite, Yang Jian asked: "Director Lin, the track and field team of the World Championships has achieved good results, and the sprint event has created a lot of history. In your opinion, the sprint event this time is How was your performance, or in other words, if you were asked to give it a score, how many points would you give it?"

"If I were asked to give a grade for the sprint event, I think I could give it a passing grade." Lin Mu answered seriously without much thought.

"Can you give some specific comments?" Yang Jian was a little surprised, and raised his brows slightly. He didn't expect that Lin Mu only gave it a pass.

"In my opinion, the track and field team has completed its mission in general. The scheduled medal task has been completed, the goal of training newcomers has been achieved, and the AB standard results for next year's Olympic Games have also achieved a lot. The sprint event has broken through many history, A good place in the race, it looks very good.

But we are track and field practitioners, not ordinary sports fans. We should have a better understanding of the world's sprinting world, and have a full, profound and clear understanding of our own current situation.The rapid progress can only be said to be due to a low starting point and a good ranking, which is also due to many objective factors. "

After the World Championships, he felt that many people were getting restless these days.Athletes and coaches are all immersed in joy, as if the world is in harmony.Even some athletes and coaches can do some reporting activities because of many insignificant achievements in his opinion.It's okay to be uplifting and inspiring, but you can't really sink yourself into it!
He has also been invited to give lectures everywhere. If he didn't have a lot of memories, he might become impetuous.Chinese people and track and field fans are impetuous, and the big deal is to be disappointed once or twice, but it is a disaster for practitioners.

He has little qualifications, and there are some things he doesn't want to say. Now that the interview is here, he will talk about his own sprinting. At most, he can add a hurdle, which can be regarded as an insinuation.He doesn't want to be a virgin, but since he is in this circle, whether the circle is prosperous or not depends on him!

"...two people competed in the 200-meter race. Both contestants entered the 110-meter semi-finals of the World Championships. One contestant also entered the final and won the championship. In the [-]-meter competition, one contestant entered the final and won the championship. In addition, two Huaxia athletes stood on the starting line of the men's [-]-meter hurdles final at the World Championships at the same time. These are major breakthroughs made by Huaxia Athletics.

Director Yuan of our General Assembly once said that if there is a Chinese athlete who can appear before the starting line of the final in the short-distance event of the World Athletics Championships, it will be a great breakthrough.It's something to be proud of now.We are very excited by the achievements of Zhao Lin, Yang Zuyao, Liu Xiang and Shi Dong.

But when it comes to the results, I still give a passing grade. If the passing grades are divided into specific intervals, the fighting spirit shown by the contestants will still account for the majority in my opinion.Many people performed at a normal level, or even beyond the level, which is the key to this pass.The only gratification is probably that the young players have been tempered in this competition. "

Lin Mu said it very low-key and profoundly, neither praising nor criticizing. This was also the appropriate score in his heart.

He said so, but Yang Jian was more and more surprised, even surprised.From his observations, Lin Mu doesn't seem to be humble, he may really have such an understanding.

That's worth talking about in detail.After quietly glancing at the time, Yang Jian asked: "Director Lin, what you said is that you have full knowledge and understanding. Can you analyze it for us, or let us ordinary Chinese people know more about it? After all, we are far away from home." Far away…”

After Lin Mu smiled slightly towards the camera, he straightened his mind, nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if the results are good or bad. We didn't feel relaxed. The current situation of Huaxia's sprint is still 'sailing against the current'. In other words, in terms of overall strength, we can say that we are still in the "third world".

For Liu Xiang in the hurdling event, his coach Sun Pingnian took Liu Xiang to practice in competitions, which produced very good results.Facing many world-class players in this World Championships, he won the silver medal.Winning a medal is a joyous thing, but we still need to analyze more while we are happy.

Alan Johnson is undoubtedly one of the best hurdlers in the world at present, and he is also in this final, but his time of 13 seconds cannot be regarded as the number one in the world.

Also another excellent player, Latvia's Oligas was injured and accidentally eliminated in the first round; the American star Rose unexpectedly lost in the national trials. These are all objective factors.

而在一200米项目上，情况比起跨栏更甚，百米的格林、蒙哥马利，200米的卡佩尔。弗雷德里克斯都因为各种各样的原因发挥很差。而且同样有一批80年前后出生的一200米优秀选手早早出局或是世锦赛未能成行。而这些运动员也几乎都是百米时常进10秒。200米时常进20秒的强手。

While we are delighted by the "unexpected harvest" of this World Championships, we should analyze ourselves and our opponents.We have just stepped forward, so we should not be confused by the illusion of the golden road in front of us..."

Yang Jian was no longer simply surprised. The more he listened, the more shocked he became. How calm he must be.In a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, there is a person who makes a deafening voice here, and is the most direct coach of the parties involved.Don't you know that saying that is against the world?In other words, you have also belittled your grades.

Is it a pretentious self-interpretation?Yang Jian inevitably had many guesses in his mind.But after observing it carefully, I shook my head secretly.No wonder he was always reluctant to say more before, it was really not good.I don’t know if the interview can be broadcast smoothly.Although the leader said it should be "true", the overall theme of prosperity cannot be changed.

When you are done looking back, ask the relevant leaders of the field management, and then go back to the station to ask for instructions.

It’s useless for Yang Jian to open his mouth. Since Lin Mu has already said this, he will finish what’s in his heart, and at this time his emotions are a little bit up: “Our goal is not the country, not Asia, our 5000-year-old civilized country in China , the trend of rising is unstoppable. Then, our track and field, and even sports, must rush to the world and stand in our proper position. In this case, after we understand the current situation, the first thing we need to do is to consolidate ourselves step by step .

The first and second rankings and medals are secondary. Although we are happy enough, we are not yet the time to draw conclusions.The society is developing, and we also need to keep up with the pace of sprinting.

Breaking through yourself is the key. In this World Championships, I am very pleased with the constant progress of these young athletes.It is more precious than getting a good ranking..."

Seeing that the time was almost up, and Yang Jian realized that it was Lin Mu's turn to have something to say, but he didn't intend to ask any more.He was really afraid that Lin Mu's mouth would get hotter the more he talked, and he would extend it directly.It's fine if it doesn't get aired, but if it gets aired, it might be annoying.He really didn't want such a passionate and wise coach to be affected.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Jian was about to end the interview topic, so he asked the last question.

"Director Lin, if you want to break through yourself and improve constantly, you must be inseparable from your coaching team. It takes a lot of energy to formulate a training plan and implement it in place, and it may take a long time.

As far as I know, it has been less than a year since you took Zhao Lin under his wing, but his performance improvement can be said to be miraculous, and the same is true for Yang Zuyao.Is it because the athletes are so talented, or do you have a special secret? "

Lin Mu shook his head and smiled. He could see that Yang Jian didn't want him to go further, and now he brought the topic to him.In fact, he didn't intend to say more.Besides, that's not what a sprint coach should be in contact with.He is not a stunned young man without emotional intelligence. At present, he is only talking about the sprint event. The big deal is to add Sun Ping. He thinks that Sun Ping will not mind if he "belittles" the gold content of Liu Xiang's silver medal.Now it's a big deal to be considered as a high profile, no big deal!

It's over, it's not too late.

"Every athlete who can enter the national team, their talent is beyond doubt. They are selected and trained by batches of grassroots coaches and colleagues from the sea of ​​people. Without certain strength and talent, they can't make it to this step. But if you want to say that it is super, then it is not sure. At least compared with many top foreign athletes.

And in my opinion, a big country like ours does not need one or two people with extraordinary talents to maintain illusory prosperity.What we need more is to form a tradition of our own.

Many foreign experts have analyzed the innate physical conditions of various races, and concluded that black people are most suitable for sprinting, while yellow people are the least suitable.Somewhat one-sided, but not unreasonable.As far as some basic physical fitness is concerned, there is a gap on the whole.Of course, the existence of very individual talents with extraordinary talents cannot be ruled out.But they cannot represent all of us Chinese people of the yellow race.Our athletes still need to be chosen among ordinary people.

Since innate, or talent is like this, we have no choice, then, what we can and should do is how to maximize our own innate and talent, and strive to combine, match, optimize, from many aspects Change.It is a set of traditions suitable for our China.

What affects the result is the innate part, the external part, and more importantly, our heart.Not blind, neither optimistic nor pessimistic.Don't be defeated by others, let alone be defeated by yourself.Never give up easily..."

Lin Mu finished speaking, and as the microphones and cameras were turned off, the interview was over!
After Yang Jian turned off the device, he was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up and shook hands with Lin Mu. After saying thank you, he didn't say another word, but he held his hand tightly.
