Although there are some disgusting argumentative people on the Internet, there are still more reasonable people after all. After the sports newspaper report was forwarded to Weibo, most of the passers-by who saw the cause and effect clearly stopped talking. As for the remaining argumentative people who used to claim to be "rational people", for such people, there is no such thing as reason or unreasonable. As long as it does not conform to their ideas, they will argue to the point of turning the world upside down. However, such people are still a minority after all, and gradually their voices became silent.

After the sports newspaper report was released, although the nitpickers did not reflect on themselves, many track and field fans were alerted.

In the past two years, China's track and field programs have indeed made great strides forward, especially since this year. Looking back, track and field fans feel that their mentality has indeed become more inflated.

In fact, this is normal for people. When we get used to success, we tend to neglect the hard-earned nature of success.

However, the next day in Doha, after Su Bai saw the report and heard about the small incident that had just ended, he opened his Weibo and posted a new piece of content after a long absence.

Su Bai: [The original intention is always there, and vigilance is never let down. 】

The content of this sentence is so direct that it is difficult for anyone who knows the previous situation to misunderstand its meaning.

The audience, who had calmed down due to the content of the sports newspaper report and turned their attention to tonight's game, felt a little uneasy again after seeing Su Bai's Weibo post.

Of course, many people in the Athletics Kingdom forum saw Su Bai's speech, and someone immediately expressed his disapproval.

Subject: [The incident has passed, the sports newspaper report has made it clear, and Su Bai's players have not suffered any reputational loss. It seems a bit irrational for him to say this now...]

Topic content: [I feel that what Su Bai said is somewhat unnecessary. Does he mean that he and his teammates are not wrong? Is he unwilling to accept even the opinions of the sports newspaper's report? 】

Compared with those obviously unreasonable arguments before, many track and field fans now feel as if they are being counter-argued by "argumentative Su Bai", and they can't help feeling a little unhappy.

In the forum, many people posted comments under this post, and they also felt that Su Bai’s remarks were inappropriate.

On Weibo, there are many people who have mixed feelings about Su Bai's statement. Of course, there are also people who support Su Bai, but most of them can't explain why.

Until someone asked Qiu Wen on his Weibo: [Does the result of the mixed 4x400m race serve as a wake-up call to the Chinese 400m team? 】

?

? ?

? ? ?

Although Qiu Wen usually has a lot of fun surfing, he had just finished a 4x400m relay the night before and rested early. He had just woken up and didn't know what was going on. He opened Weibo and was about to surf the Internet when he received this series of questions.

Qiu Wen was puzzled and replied to the netizen: [Ah? What's the alarm? 】

When netizens saw Qiu Wen replying online, they immediately asked: [Did the results of the men's and women's mixed 4x400m preliminaries last night sound the alarm for the Chinese 400m sprint relay team? 】

Qiu Wen scratched his messy hair, then typed out a reply on his phone with a confused look on his face: […Sounding the alarm means that our grades are very poor so we should be vigilant? But we broke the national record last night, didn’t we? 】

…

…………

………………?

Many people who originally felt indignant and thought they were very rational, and thought they were not argumentative but were just unhappy with Su Bai's "argumentation", suddenly fell into a strange silence after seeing Qiu Wen's reply.

Yes.

Last night, China's mixed men's and women's 4x400m team also broke the national record. This was briefly mentioned in two sentences in the sports newspaper report.

Of course, the main point of the sports newspaper is that 'even if the Chinese mixed 4x400m relay team broke the national record, there are various problems involved'.

This "alarm bell"-style preaching, in fact, is not a big problem from the perspective of a sports reporter. But when the track and field fans who feel a little aggrieved look back and see whether there is any problem with this report from Su Bai's perspective, many people suddenly think of this - the national team led by Su Bai has clearly achieved unprecedented results, but was forced to "alert". So, when Su Bai says "we have never let our guard down", is it really "arguing"?

The track and field fans who originally felt that they were being "challenged" suddenly became discouraged at this moment.

Looking back on their own thoughts carefully, the track and field fans suddenly realized that the reason why they felt that the sports newspaper was right and that Su Bai's team needed to be "alert" was because they had a too-high misperception of the national team from the beginning - the track and field fans believed that the Chinese men's and women's mixed 4x400m team had to at least make it to the finals to be considered a normal performance of their strength.

However, they underestimated the strength of other national teams.

It turns out that although they feel that they are already courteous enough, in fact, their "inflated" mentality has not returned to its original state.

"From the perspective of track and field fans, it is a good hope that their favorite team can achieve better results. From the perspective of media reporters, they wrote articles to help us 'wake up', which is also well-intentioned. However, Director Jiang, my team members and I have never given up our vigilance. We also have very clear plans for our own performance and growth."

"I think my players have performed very well in this World Championships. They also showed their due strength in the men's and women's mixed 4x400m race last night."

Su Bai said very seriously: "I don't think it is necessary for my team members to face the teachings of the 'wake-up call'. This is an inappropriate judgment on their efforts, their contributions, and their achievements."

Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan faced Su Bai, who was called by them. Originally, they wanted to persuade Su Bai to post a softer Weibo. However, Su Bai, who was usually easy to talk to, did not have the same temper and softness as usual this time. Instead, he insisted on his opinion very firmly.

And what Su Bai said was indeed not without reason. After listening to Su Bai's persistent remarks, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan were silent for a moment. After Su Bai said goodbye and left, Jiang Wentao picked up the phone and called Liao Jie, who was in charge of handling matters related to online media in China, and repeated Su Bai's words to him.

On the other end of the phone, after hearing Su Bai's words, Liao Jie immediately slapped his forehead.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, I'm sorry, this is my fault. I've been too much of a muddy person, and my brain is almost muddied." Liao Jie reflected on himself, and then said, "Xiao Bai is right. Our national team members performed very well in this World Championships! One historic result after another. Even if the mixed men's and women's 4x400m relay race didn't make it to the finals yesterday, it still set a new national record!"

Liao Jie sighed: "Look at me, I still want to ask Xiaobai to say something conciliatory to calm down some of the negative public opinion on the Internet. If Xiaobai hadn't pointed it out directly, wouldn't I have let our own national team's meritorious coaches and players suffer?"

After Liao Jie hung up the phone, there was basically no need to worry about any subsequent public opinion impact. After Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan hung up the phone, they first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads.

After taking a break, Jiang Wentao smiled and said, "Xiaobai seems to be easy to talk to, but he is quite tough when it comes to protecting his teammates."

"That's right?" Pei Jinan also laughed and said, "Xiao Bai has a good temper, but a good temper doesn't mean he has no temper. You forgot that when he first joined the national team, he hadn't even established himself yet, but he dared to directly find a team of American players and directly trained these players to lose their temper."

"To be honest, sports are all about strength. If you really want to say, who in this team really doesn't have a temper? It just depends on when to show your temper."

At this point, Pei Jinan smiled with relief: "Su Bai's temper is usually so restrained that it is almost invisible, but when he protects his teammates, he is extremely tough. With this kind of protective character, I can rest assured when I hand over the sprint team to him in the future."

?

Jiang Wentao nodded repeatedly while listening to Pei Jinan's previous words. When he heard the last sentence, Jiang Wentao suddenly paused. He turned his head and looked at Pei Jinan: "It's only been a short time, and you've already made up your mind?"

Pei Jinan glanced at Jiang Wentao: "Why? Your Field Management Center disagrees?"

Jiang Wentao raised his eyebrows and immediately waved his hands: "Hey, Old Pei, I didn't mean that. I just saw that Xiaobai has been in the national team for less than two years. Is that why you made the decision?"

"What's so difficult about making a decision?" Pei Jinan shook his head. "Here in the sprint group, Su Bai can coach the 100m and 400m. I guess he can coach the 200m as well. Judging from the team's performance, no one will object to him taking the title of sprint group leader. His only problem now is that he has little experience in the team, but he has made many contributions. Plus, I'm not going to retire in the next two years. By the time I really retire, there won't be any problems with Su Bai's experience and contributions."

This kind of thing originally depends on performance. With Su Bai's performance over the past year, and taking into account what might happen in the future, Pei Jinan really couldn't think of any problem.

"Don't tell me, I'm afraid the sprint team won't be able to keep him, and the hurdles team is trying to snatch him away."

Hearing Pei Jinan's words, Jiang Wentao couldn't help laughing: "Now that you put it that way, it's really possible."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then went out together, ready to go to today's competition venue.
