Chapter 154 Interference Ineffective

Jiang Jianjun was quite satisfied with the morning's matches. Both players were in good form. In comparison, the opponents didn't seem very competitive. Apart from Qatar's Samuel, who had a chance to challenge for the championship, the others had no hope under normal circumstances.

When the morning match ended, Lu Wei and Shen Liang ran into Liang Zhenwei, a player from Hong Kong. It seems Liang Zhenwei approached them to greet them.

Liang Zhenwei timidly extended his right hand. In his eyes, Lu Wei was like an idol. He was very happy to be able to communicate with the track and field star, and his eyes shone with undisguised joy.

"Everyone says celebrities are arrogant, but I see you're just like ordinary people, without any airs at all!"

Leung Chun-wai could hardly believe that he was able to get so close to a celebrity; it was such an exciting feeling.

"We're all athletes, what's there to put on airs for!"

Lu Wei spoke with a smile on his face, and he felt that this young man was much easier to approach than the guy from before.

The way that Taiwanese team member spoke always reminded him of the first time he met Nobuharu Asahara, when the latter didn't say a word but had a contemptuous and slightly provocative expression.

"During the morning race, I was leading my group when that Qatari deliberately got close to me and blocked me with his elbow. That was a dirty move. I was almost at my balance and had to stop before I could continue running!"

As he spoke, Liang Zhenwei did not show any resentment, because the Qatari athlete was indeed not very strong, and he probably wouldn't have much of a chance to win even if he ran well.

"He'll try to play dirty tricks in the finals, so watch out!"

Lu Wei was surprised that Liang Zhenwei paid so much attention to him, announcing the lane assignments for the afternoon race only when the morning race was almost over.

Most people only know their own level and the position of their main competitors, ignoring everything else. This young man seems to know how to think of himself; my first impression of him is quite good.

After seeing Lu Wei and Shen Liang's condition, Jiang Jianjun stopped mentioning the competition at noon and only talked about his past experiences in competitions.

As a team member trained by Jiang Jianjun, Wang Qiao has some jokes that I really haven't heard before; I guess he made them up recently.

Lu Wei and Shen Liang didn't seem to mind. The morning's matches showed that they were the strongest, and even if the finals started in the afternoon, the championship would still be a contest between the two of them, just like their usual training.

However, for the other team members who had never been abroad before, Coach Jiang's interesting experiences were very appealing. Coupled with his humorous and witty language, he often made the young team members forget that they were in a foreign country.

By the time lunch was over, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Some teams chose to have their athletes stay in the stadium at noon to wait for the afternoon's matches. Coach Jiang, however, had his team members return to the hotel to rest at noon.

In his words, he would rest for as long as possible. The competition would not be moved forward because the players stayed at the venue at noon, nor would it be postponed because the players returned to the hotel, which was far away.

What's meant to come will come eventually; it won't be brought forward just because you're prepared, nor will it be delayed just because you're not.

Lu Wei and Shen Liang, on the other hand, were carefree and slept soundly at noon. In the afternoon, someone knocked on their door. By the time they arrived at the competition venue, the two were already full of energy.

"Lu Wei, if you win the championship, how do you plan to use the prize money?"

Shen Liang suddenly asked this question while walking down the street.

"The indoor championship doesn't seem to have much prize money, maybe around 5 RMB..."

Lu Wei said dismissively.

"You're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. If it were me..."

Shen Liang first sighed, then looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Although you definitely won't win the championship prize, I'd still like to know your humble wish for the championship prize!"

At this moment, Lu Wei teased Shen Liang again.

"It's a pity the Japanese didn't come to this competition. Otherwise, it would have been great to beat them once on this field, and it would have been even better to beat them again in the Olympic relay!"

Shen Liang still didn't answer Lu Wei's question. Perhaps his family wasn't wealthy, so he couldn't talk about money so casually.

Upon arriving at the stadium, the two began warming up, both becoming serious. Although the competition wasn't particularly difficult, it was important to take it seriously.

Looking at Lu Weifeng's nonchalant demeanor, Wang Qiao felt a little anxious for her teammate.

Neither he nor Coach Jiang said anything, but before leaving, Yu Wei threw out a message to them: "I've looked into the team members participating in this competition, and there aren't any strong opponents. If Lu Wei can't win the championship, don't let him train for the 100 meters today. He should just focus on training for the other events!"

This was tantamount to a military order, directly handed over to Jiang Jianjun and Wang Qiao, the master-apprentice duo.

So whenever Lu Wei participates in a competition, Wang Qiao is always worried for him. Right now, Wang Qiao practically wants to keep an eye on Lu Wei, making sure he practices every warm-up move perfectly. Then, before the competition, he'll give him all the important instructions.

Clearly, he hasn't reached Jiang Jianjun's level yet.

The men's 60-meter final was held again in the afternoon as the first event. The organizers' strategy in the morning and afternoon was to use the most attractive events to dominate the competition.

The audience in Doha really loved it; the atmosphere was electric from the moment check-in began.

As the eight finalists walked onto the track together, the audience erupted in cheers when the announcer introduced Samuel during the race.

Samuel got excited when he heard the cheers from the audience, walked forward more than ten meters to greet them, and only turned back after he had performed his part to the fullest.

"What's with this idiot's attitude? He's just trash! We can easily crush him!"

Shen Liang looked indignant. He was in lane 5 today, while Lu Wei was in lane 4. The two of them witnessed firsthand what it meant to put on a show.

Samuel could tell from Shen Liang's expression that what the other man said wasn't anything nice. Looking at Lu Wei next to him, the latter didn't even look at him, which made Samuel feel slighted.

He glared fiercely at the two men. He already harbored hostility towards Lu Wei, but now this guy was putting on airs, and Shen Liang was also glaring at him. He could assume that Shen Liang was jealous.

Samuel was very unhappy that Lu Wei completely ignored him. He felt that his efforts could not only disturb his opponent's mind, but also attract some hatred.

Regardless of the type of feedback, as long as it changes the opponent's emotions, his goal will be achieved. He didn't expect Lu Wei to react this way, which made Samuel a little unhappy.
