Chapter 849 Zhang Guan is here to sell advertisements

The name "Zhang Guan" is very familiar to the whole world, and it is even more familiar to those who are engaged in sports.

However, Hideki Yamane knows that after the name "Zhang Guan" is written in English, it will represent different Chinese characters in Chinese. Moreover, with such a large population in China, the possibility of the same name cannot be ruled out.

"It shouldn't be that Zhang Guan!" Yamane Hideki comforted himself, but he was not at ease, so he made a phone call to inquire about the information of the Chinese team.

Even if "Zhang Guan" is not the "Zhang Guan" that Hideki Yamane thought, and a new player suddenly appeared on the Chinese team, Hideki Yamane must understand.

It is not a secret in China that Zhang Guan went to play the triathlon. Yamane Hideki quickly got a reply. The Zhang Guan on the list of contestants was exactly the Zhang Guan she thought of.

"Zhang Guan, why did he come to participate in the triathlon? Did he pass the trials in China?" Yamane Hideki couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

In terms of triathlon, the situation in Japan is similar to that in China. They are best at swimming, and they are not good at cycling. However, in the triathlon competition, the longest time-consuming is the 40-kilometer road bike ride . Generally, the total time of a triathlon game is about 1 hour and 50 minutes, of which bicycles need to occupy 1 hour.

When Hideki Yamane heard Zhang Guan's name, the first thing he thought of was the Tour de France champion Zhang Guan had won.

A triathlete is nowhere near as good a bike as a Tour de France cyclist. A triathlete rides a bicycle at a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour, while a cyclist participating in the Tour de France can reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour on flat ground, and can reach a speed of 60 kilometers per hour when sprinting. In terms of physical strength, Zhang Guan is still much faster than other triathletes in cycling.

"Coach Yamane, you don't have to worry too much about Zhang Guan." The other side of the phone said: "According to the information I got, Zhang Guan's participation in the Triathlon Asian Championship this time depends on the number of sponsors."

"Sponsor quota? What do you mean?" Hideki Yamane asked.

"It is said that the sponsor provided a lot of sponsorship to the Chinese team, and the condition is to allow Zhang Guan to participate in this Asian Championship." The other party said.

Hideki Yamane let out a long breath: "I was shocked, it turned out that Zhang Guan was only here to sell advertisements! But that's okay, anyway, the strength of the Chinese team is far inferior to ours, even worse than that of Kazakhstan, so it's better to continue the competition Opportunity, sell ads!"

...

Hideki Yamane knew the news of Zhang Guan's participation in the Asian Triathlon Championships immediately, and not long after, the participating teams from other countries also knew the news.

Due to Zhang Guan's strong strength in the road cycling event, at the very beginning, it really caused a burst of panic. The participating teams from all over the world sent people to inquire about the relevant situation. What they wanted most was Zhang Guan's triathlon How is the result.

This kind of inquiring was of course futile. Zhang Guan never participated in the team's trials, let alone achieved any results.

Later, the participating teams from various countries learned that Zhang Guan participated in the Asian Triathlon Championship at the request of the sponsor.

Knowing that Zhang Guan came to sell advertisements, all the teams breathed a sigh of relief, and some even took it as a joke after dinner.

...

"Zhang Guan has landed!" Coach He pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

"18 minutes and 20 seconds, so fast!" Coach He gasped.

There are many unknown factors in triathlon, and there are also many influencing factors. It cannot be considered simply by the length of time, but depends on the actual situation.

Taking the 1.5km swim as an example, because it is in open water rather than in a swimming pool, the water temperature, direction of water flow, familiarity with the track, speed of other competitors, etc. will all affect the final result. There is no definite standard for this. If you just look up the data of a certain competition and find that it took 18 minutes for world-class athletes to swim 1.5 kilometers, and you think 18 minutes is a good result, then you must be a layman. Perhaps in another water area, the same athlete can swim for 17 minutes, or it is possible to swim for 19 minutes.

Zhang Guan has been training in this water area for many days, and he is already familiar with the route, and the water temperature is relatively high today, so it is normal to go faster. It's just that the time of 18 minutes and 20 seconds exceeded Coach He's expectations, at least not slower than other players in his national team, and Zhang Guan had only trained for more than a month.

"Judging from this result, Zhang Guan's swimming speed has already caught up with other team members, and he will be at least three minutes faster than others in the 40-kilometer bicycle. This is a huge advantage. Maybe this Asian Championships , Zhang Guan really hopes to get a place in the Olympic Games!"

Coach He's eyes brightened. In the last Olympic Games, the Chinese team was able to participate in the triathlon competition by virtue of its status as the host. If this year's competition can be spelled out by itself, the funds for the next four years will be settled. up!

...

A large number of reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel. They took all kinds of long guns and short cannons and aimed at every athlete who entered and exited the hotel.

"Look, the Chinese team is here, it's Zhang Guan!"

"Kacha Kacha Kacha Kacha..." The sound of the camera shutter sounded, and the flash instantly illuminated the front.

Zhang Guan waved at the reporters, then walked into the hotel. The reporters were also quite qualified, and they all stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and no one followed the athletes into the hotel.

"Hey, have you heard that Zhang Guan's participation in the Triathlon Asian Championships this time is actually to sell advertisements!"

"I knew it a long time ago. He didn't even participate in their domestic qualifiers, and came directly to Japan. I heard that the sponsor paid a lot of money!"

"I think this incident is a bit too funny. Zhang Guan is not a triathlete athlete. In order to help sponsors advertise, he even came to participate in the competition. What's even more funny is that the Chinese team actually gave such a place! I see China People are crazy about money, they can even buy and sell places in the Asian Championships!"

"Who says it's not? Although the Asian Championships has a low threshold, it is an intercontinental competition after all, not a game. How can you be so nonsense!"

"Who calls someone a big star? The organizer must have acquiesced! Maybe the organizer is also counting on Zhang Guan to attract sponsors."

"Maybe Zhang Guan has some strength in the triathlon? Don't forget that in the triathlon, the longest time-consuming is the 40-kilometer road bike. Zhang Guan has won the Tour de France championship .”

"What's the use of just knowing how to ride a bicycle? There's also 1.5 kilometers of swimming and 10 kilometers of long-distance running!"

"A track and field athlete, although he is a sprinter, he is a world record holder. The 10-kilometer long-distance run is less than a quarter of a marathon. Zhang Guan's level should not be bad. The key is the 1.5-kilometer swim. .”

"Anyway, I don't really believe Zhang Guan can perform so well. I think he won't be left behind by other players too much. It's considered a good record. Besides, he didn't really come to participate in the competition , they are here to help sponsors sell advertisements!"

"I think it's quite hard work to become famous like Zhang Guan. With hundreds of millions of advertisements on my back, I can't even participate in a competition!"

...

At the same time, Zhang Guan also received some rumors.

"Someone actually said that I came to help sponsors sell advertisements!" Zhang Guan had an absurd expression on his face.

"Selling advertisements?" Coach He glared at Zhang Guan strangely. Others may not know Zhang Guan's strength, but Coach He knows how good Zhang Guan is in the triathlon.

"It looks like the game the day after tomorrow will be a good show!" Coach He suddenly laughed.
