Liu Xiang.
Although the effect of retirement caused by Su Shen this time is far less "terrifying" than the last time.
But there will still be consequences.
It won't exist at all.
For example, in the latest IAAF world rankings released last weekend, Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles ranking dropped from the previous high to 16th, and the top spot became the new Olympic champion Cuban Robles. The last world ranking was the first time Liu Xiang fell out of the top 10 in the world after winning the Athens Olympics four years ago. Judging from his current injury recovery, the 16th ranking is far from his bottoming moment. .
That's not all, this is just a discount in terms of strength, outside the arena.
House seemingly endless rain.
The 2008 Lawrence Awards candidate list was released yesterday. Liu Xiang was not selected for either the "Best Male Athlete" or the "Best Popularity Award", and his coach Sun Haiping was not shortlisted for the "Best Coach Award". Instead, most of the candidates this year are Olympic gold medal athletes and coaches.
He even missed out on being ranked among the top ten flower growers in Lawrence.
This is also the first time since 2002 that Liu Xiang has missed the chance to meet flower grower Lawrence.
As for the contract, he was basically dismissed, and it was considered good that he was not required to pay liquidated damages.
As for the 100 million insurance policy that was a huge gimmick before, it was blown away by the rain and the wind, and the thunder was loud and the rain was small.
It can be said that it was so beautiful before, but now it is so lonely.
But fortunately, Liu Xiang's mentality has been adjusted well, and Su Shen has given him a breakthrough before, which will help him return to the top.
It also made Liu Xiang feel a lot better inside.
"The results of the consultation are completely confirmed, Brother Xiang." Su Shen said after seeing Liu Xiang alone.
There are many things that Liu Xiang doesn't want too many people to know.
One person's discomfort does not want to be shared by everyone, as that would be counterproductive.
It makes the injured person's sensitive nerves even more sad.
"'Injury to the end of the Achilles tendon insertion' is a type of Achilles tendinitis and takes 3 months to a year to fully recover."
"And it's true as you said. After multiple deep three-dimensional scans, I discovered that there are actually three broken bones growing in the Achilles tendon. These three bones penetrate deep into the flesh, which is why my pain is so unbearable. . If you hadn’t told me in advance, I really don’t know if it would have taken a lot of time to find out.”
"How did you do it? Xiaotian?"
Su Shen smiled and said calmly: "I touched it with my hand, and I happened to find it. Maybe it was luck."
This is a big problem that has been dragged on for so long. If it is just a simple "Achilles tendon end injury" massage and other methods, it will not be of any use. It is because these three bone fragments are inside the Achilles tendon, so it is a conservative method. One of the culprits of ineffectiveness. Now that this problem has been discovered, it is estimated that Liu Xiang will be able to recover from surgery immediately.
This is normal.
Liu Xiang didn't know whether to believe it or not.
But right now, he has no other choice for this young man who has created countless miracles.
And how much people want to say is their own business. After so many exchanges, Liu Xiang can already be sure.
This Xiangshan boy is the kind of person who works hard for the rise of the flower-growing family in track and field.
If you doubt this kind of person, you will be really sorry for yourself.
Therefore, no matter how outrageous what Su Shen said was, he chose to believe it unconditionally.
Liu Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Well, if I have surgery, I don't know if I can make it to the World Championships next year."
Liu Xiang is still a young man in his 24s and 50s, and he still has a lot of energy. After the setback, he obviously wants to get back as soon as possible.
Prove yourself again.
"As long as you keep up with the treatment, Brother Xiang, your performance can still return to its peak! Our current tests on you show that your body's functions are still at a stable peak state." Su Shen comforted: "But next year Even if you can participate in the World Championships, it’s hard to say whether you can keep up with the training. Everything has to be done slowly. After all, I won’t lie to you, Brother Xiang. You also know your recurrence rate. As training increases, the recurrence rate will increase. The rate is almost 100 percent.”
"So how to take it easy and how to complete the next Olympic cycle before recurrence is what we have to consider."
Liu Xiang nodded. It was only at this time that he realized that Su Shen had much better control over the overall situation than he had imagined.
Although he became famous early, he really hadn't thought about this aspect in China.
Basically, it’s up to the master and the superiors to arrange and come up with the work.
Of course.
To a certain extent, this is also the way Liu Xiang appears the most.
It is a pity that these administrative management routines have failed when applied to sports. Facts have proved that professionalism is still needed in the future.
Specialized people do specialized things.
"The next Olympic cycle." Liu Xiang looked at his heels, feeling a little depressed and said, "Who would have thought that such a big problem would arise from just a small heel wear and shoe problem."
"This is no small problem." Su Shen said: "In the future, all sports must be professionalized."
“No small thing can be missed.”
"The sports of the future will be high-tech, and it will be increasingly difficult to cross boundaries."
"So when you go to Houston, you must take a good rest. When you return to China, I have asked Ralph Mann to prepare for your return. He will take you specially." After Su Shen finished speaking, Liu Xiang looked slightly embarrassed and said : "But the master's side..."
"Don't worry, come here together. You mainly follow Ralph Mann, and then Coach Sun will study with you." Su Shen seemed to know what Liu Xiang would say, and had already made plans: "After all, Ralph Mann will still have to return to China in the future. Yes, it depends on you whether you can learn the real thing from him."
This is why Su Shen asked Sun Haiping and the others to follow them.
Because after all, the entire track and field plate is still too big, and it is definitely not enough for oneself, so training a group of coaches under the new system is actually the top priority right now. Compared with Randy, Ralph Mann himself is a hurdler and record holder, and is more suitable for training Liu Xiang and Liu Xiang's coaching team.
Su Shen didn't say that he would kill everyone with one stick.
he knows.
In the future, we still need our own people to develop.
Therefore, at this juncture, as long as Sun Haiping is willing to listen to him, Su Shen is still happy to let him come over to exchange and learn together.
He will also need his services in the future hurdles.
Seeing this, Liu Xiang no longer had any scruples. He smiled and said, "That's fine. Otherwise, I've been with the master for so many years and I still miss him when I can't see him."
As for Sun Haiping, if everything goes well next year, he will come back at the New York Grand Prix and the Eugene Prefontaine Classic in June.
Su Shen didn't have any objection, one year was enough.
Even with the surgery, he knew it would be successful without too many problems, otherwise Liu Xiang would not have been able to almost tie the world record again in 2012. The key is the recovery after surgery. This is the key that you need to control throughout the entire process.
"Xiao Tian, do you think there won't be any big problems with my surgery?" Liu Xiang has never been on the operating table in a real sense until now in his professional competition. Coupled with the so-called 100% recurrence rate, Liu Xiang is now unsure. , which is also normal.
"Brother Xiang, Dr. Clanton is an expert in this field, and Brother Yao is the one who performed the surgery. There is no problem with his technical level." Su Shen knew the history, so he believed in the results of this operation even more than Liu Xiang, saying: "We just need to Just cooperate well with the doctor."
"Okay." Liu Xiang nodded: "Since you said so, then I believe you."
"It's not too late." Su Shen said: "Start as soon as possible, don't hesitate."
Su Shen knew that Liu Xiang's team actually had some concerns about the surgery at first. They visited several cities and hospitals in the United States before finally deciding on the surgery in December. In fact... it didn't require much thought at all. Su Shen only needs to speed up the original historical process a little, which is also a good thing for Liu Xiang himself.
The surgery was only performed in December, and it took half a year. It took too long.
He knew how to do it, so "Su's Team" helped Liu Xiang a lot in this regard.
In fact, the "Xiang's Team" on Liu Xiang's side has been disbanded, and the people inside are currently selected by the "Su's Team" to replenish personnel. And this is actually the reason why Su Shen can choose more people when building "Su's Team".
Because he knows very well that the current domestic teams are not mature at all. Except for the "Yao Team", Li Na's teams are directly run by foreign companies. Therefore, he can only make "Su's Team" bigger and stronger, and then assign them one by one from "Su's Team" to join other domestic athlete teams, so that they can complete domestic scientific achievements as quickly as possible. Speed up team building.
It's just that at the beginning, everyone couldn't understand Su Shen's deep intention.
But after seeing Liu Xiang's problem, "Xiang's Team" was paralyzed, and "Su's Team" was immediately able to allocate manpower to fill in. It was almost a perfect fit, silky smooth, and some thoughtful people suddenly felt that Su's team was Why does God want to cultivate "Su's Team" so vigorously?
Look at it this way.
Su Shen, a young man who has just turned 19, has reached a point where he is "horribly" prepared for a rainy day.
No wonder no one in the entire Ersha Island is meaningful to him as the backbone.
So many professionals and senior coaches are convinced. Why? This...may be one of the reasons.
"Okay, Xiaotian, wait until I come back to train with you." Before leaving, Liu Xiang and Su Shen gave each other a slap in the face.
"Don't worry, the journey will be safe and smooth, Brother Xiang." Su Shen also hit him with a smile.
In this way, in the next Olympic cycle.
It was a regret that I had, and I probably had to start repairing it myself.
Talk.
The first five-year plan is over.
What's next?
You should be ready to start.
The Olympics are over, but my career, the entire "Soviet" career.
In fact, it has just begun.
