"9 seconds 75! 9 seconds 75! A new world record! A new world record! Zhang Guan once again broke the world record!" the commentator howled excitedly.
At this moment, the director's voice sounded in the commentator's earphones: "Hey, hey, the leader asked me to remind you to pay attention to your image. Are you listening? Pay attention to your image, this is a live broadcast!"
The commentator calmed down instantly. He didn't know if his salary would be deducted for his roaring comment. He calmed down a little worriedly and casually said in a calm tone: "We congratulate Zhang Guan! Congratulations to him for another breakthrough. The men's 100-meter world record was set. The previous 100-meter world record was 9.76 seconds, which was set by Zhang Guan at last year's Yokohama All-Star Game; and the previous 100-meter world record was also set by Zhang Guan at last year's Athens Olympics. 9.77 seconds! The three fastest results in the 100-meter dash in the world are all set by Zhang Guan. In this event, he is the well-deserved number one in the world! He is the well-deserved number one flying man in the world!"
The commentator became more and more excited as he talked. He simply ignored Powell's time of 9.77 seconds set last week and began to praise Zhang Guan endlessly.
"Ahem, pay attention to your image, this is a live broadcast!" The director noticed that the commentator was getting more and more excited and seemed to be losing control again, so he immediately reminded in the earphone.
The commentator had no choice but to calm down again, and the excitement he had just aroused disappeared without a trace.
…
Sharapova didn't quite understand the meaning behind the 100-meter world record, but she could tell from the performance of the audience around her that this was a remarkable achievement. At this moment, Sharapova suddenly felt very proud. She looked at Zhang Guan, who was waving to everyone at the finish line, and felt for the first time that her lover seemed great.
That's right, it's great. It's a very high-level word that seems inappropriate to use on her lover, but it is the most real feeling in Sharapova's heart.
"That's my boyfriend!"
…
Director Yu was already a little exhausted, as if he had just experienced the baptism of hell. He had been teaching for more than 30 years and had never felt like this before. He was even a little unsteady on his feet. If Coach Sun hadn't stepped forward to support Director Yu, If so, the instructor might fall down on the spot.
Coach Sun knew that this was a sign of Yu's body after being relieved of heavy pressure. At this time, Yu's body was like a fully-stretched bowstring, suddenly loosened. Coach Sun can better understand what kind of pressure Director Yu has been under this week.
During the Olympic Games last year, Zhang Guan was like a warrior, challenging every level in the preliminaries, semi-finals, semi-finals and finals. At that time, Director Yu was more excited and excited. As for the pressure, there was really no pressure. After Zhang Guan entered the second round, every step forward was a historical breakthrough for the track and field team, so there was no pressure on Coach Yu. In the indoor competition at the beginning of the year, Zhang Guan dominated the indoor 60-meter dash in Europe. At that time, Director Yu had more expectations for Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan's good performance really made Director Yu look forward to it. But this time the Golden League is different. A person who is truly capable of challenging Zhang Guan appears. From the moment Powell ran 9.77 seconds, Director Yu was destined to bear unprecedented pressure.
"Lao Yu, hold on, be energetic!" Coach Sun patted Director Yu on the back, and then said: "Look, the record has been broken, and Zhang Guan has broken the record again!"
After listening to Coach Sun's words, Director Yu raised his head and looked at the scoreboard. The score of 9.75 at the top became more and more conspicuous.
"Record is really broken, record is broken again!" Director Yu's spirit suddenly recovered to 80%. He saw the second-placed Powell running in 9.80 seconds, and suddenly felt a lingering fear.
"9.8 seconds. Powell's condition is so good that he can run 9.8 seconds! Fortunately, Zhang Guan is in better condition! He broke the world record again..."
…
Powell slowly walked off the track. He seemed disappointed. He had found his best form in the game and used his speed to the extreme. He ran a good time of 9.80 seconds, but he still lost.
"9.75 seconds! A new world record! Zhang Guan set a new world record right in front of me!" Powell felt very aggrieved and could not accept this fact. A week ago, he ran 9.77 seconds in Athens. He thought he had reached the world record level and could challenge Zhang Guan. But in just one week, Zhang Guan set a new world record of 9.75 seconds. It seemed to be a response to his time of 9.77 seconds.
At Powell's level, every 0.01 second improvement seems to be an impossible task, and Zhang Guan used this 0.01 second to swear to the world that he is still the fastest person in the world!
"Asafa, it's okay, it's just a game. You have performed very well today." Coach Suereb patted Powell on the shoulder, and then comforted: "Zhang Guan is in very good condition today. After breaking the world record, it is normal for you to lose to the world record, so don’t feel sad or blame yourself for it.”
"Thank you, coach." Powell nodded and continued: "I also know that I performed very well today, but even so, I still couldn't defeat Zhang Guan. Instead, I was pushed further and further away by him. I Now I’m a little worried about whether I can defeat him!”
Suereb's heart tightened. What he was most worried about finally began to happen.
The most indispensable thing for an athlete is confidence, especially an athlete who is preparing to attack the top position in the world, and he must not lose confidence. Once an athlete loses confidence and begins to doubt himself, then he will lose his sprint. Qualification for the highest point in the world.
In the past six months, Suereb has been working hard to cultivate Powell's self-confidence. He has been instilling a message in Powell: you will become the world's number one, and Powell's strength is also growing with his self-confidence. But in just one game, Powell's self-confidence was obviously hit.
A new world record really seems to be the sharpest weapon, enough to pierce any athlete's self-confidence.
…
Breaking the world record again, Zhang Guan gained four skill points, while the Golden League Paris championship gave Zhang Guan three skill points. Obviously, according to the system's judgment, the level of this competition is not as good as the Olympics. When I found out I was the Olympic champion, the system rewarded me with four skill points.
Zhang Guan carefully recalled the process of the entire game. He found that based on his current physical condition, the time of 9.75 seconds seemed to be close to the limit. Zhang Guan made a preliminary judgment that he was in such a state of full physical strength. Maybe it can improve the result a little bit, but it will definitely not be faster than 9.70 seconds, it will be around 9.72 seconds or 9.73 seconds.
The peak period of male sprinters will come almost at the age of 24, and their competitive status will begin to decline at the age of 30. The decline in competitive status of Asians may be even earlier. Zhang Guan is only 19 years old now, and his body has not yet reached its peak. If Zhang Guan's body reaches its peak, there will be no problem running under 9.70 seconds at full strength.
Zhang Guan felt that this was not fast enough, because in the Capital Olympics three years later, Bolt would run an astonishing time of 9.69 seconds, and that was only when Bolt finally turned around, and then at the World Championships in Berlin It set an amazing world record of 9.58 seconds.
The difference between 9.58 seconds and 9.70 seconds is 0.12 seconds. In the top competition of the 100-meter dash, the gap of 0.12 seconds can be said to be a completely impossible to surpass.
"It's just Powell now, it's already so difficult. If I meet Bolt in the future, I might be defeated!" Zhang Guan shook his head slightly. He felt that he should be faster.
"My body should have reached its limit. There is no way to increase my physical strength and condition. It seems that the only way is to use that method. I just don't know how effective that method is." Thinking of this, Zhang Guan entered the system store and spent money. I earned 10 skill points and bought a pair of running shoes.
The system immediately displayed a prompt: "Congratulations on your first purchase of sports equipment. The store also provides you with various auxiliary equipment for you to choose from."
"Auxiliary equipment? What is it?" Zhang Guan clicked on the auxiliary equipment column in the system store, and then saw a dazzling array of products.
"Tennis Hawk Eye instant replay system: Overcoming the extreme blind spots in human observation ability. Price: 15 skill points."
"Dakar Rally real-time map system: Provides a real-time map of the Dakar Rally. It can query weather, road conditions, etc. in real time, and provide the optimal route forward. The price is 20 skill points."
"Formula One full information system: Provides real-time track conditions, each driver's tire wear, fuel conditions and other data, and provides accurate weather forecasts ten minutes later. Price 25 skill points"
"The football god's perspective system can provide visual information from anywhere on the field. The price is 15 skill points."
Zhang Guan looked over one by one and found that these so-called auxiliary equipment seemed to be more effective than sports equipment, such as football's God's perspective system. The goalkeeper can watch the opponent's free kick through God's perspective, which means the free kick wall. The effect is completely lost; another example is that a forward can confirm his position and opponent's dynamics through God's perspective while observing the ball. Whether it is anti-offside or route selection with the ball, he is at an absolute advantage.
However, these so-called auxiliary equipment all have a common characteristic, that is, they are extremely expensive. At least with Zhang Gu's current financial resources, they simply cannot afford them.
"After working for so long, I can afford a pair of running shoes. It's better not to think too much about these auxiliary equipment. I can't afford them anyway." Zhang Guan shook his head, returned to the inventory, found the running shoes, and then clicked on the equipment.
"I wonder how effective the running shoes are and how much speed they can increase? Anyway, the super prize is about to be held in Lausanne. I will know when I give it a try."
