Macau, the 4th East Asian Athletes Organizing Committee. Staff member Ye Chu is compiling the athletes' registration information.
"It's time for the track and field event." Ye Chu felt suddenly inexplicably excited. The organizing committee had previously confirmed with the national team that Zhang Guan was confirmed to participate in the East Asian athletes. Then the media in Macau immediately reported it, which directly led to the 100-meter sprint event in track and field. Tickets were sold out that day. As a staff member, Ye Chu has to serve the competition, so he cannot go to watch the world's number one trapeze artist live, but several of his friends have already bought tickets for that day.
"Sign up for the 100-meter dash event, Hu Kai, Jin Ke! Where is Zhang Guan? Didn't you say he will definitely come to compete? Why didn't he come!" Ye Chu looked carefully again and confirmed that there was no one among the 100-meter dash registrants. Zhang Guan.
Ye Chu suddenly felt very disappointed, and he felt like he had been deceived. Then he suppressed the feeling of loss in his heart and completed the information on the 100-meter sprinter.
"It's the 200-meter dash event!" Ye Chu began to summarize the athletes' information one by one: "Gaoping Shenshi, Ohmae Yusuke, Park Zhenxi, Zhang Guan, Yang Yao... Wait! Zhang Guan! It's Zhang Guan, it's really Zhang Crown! Instead of running the 100 meters, he participated in the 200 meters dash!"
Ye Chu suddenly felt like he had lost something and found something again.
"Zhang Guan has never participated in the 200-meter dash! When did he start training for the 200-meter dash? Is this his 200-meter debut?" Ye Chu suddenly had the urge to take leave to watch the competition. .
"By the way, those friends of mine bought tickets for the day of the 100-meter race in order to watch Zhang Guan's competition. I have to tell them to change their tickets quickly!" Ye Chu immediately picked up his phone and told the news His friends.
Then, he started his own work again, and the next step was to compile the information of registered athletes in the 400-meter sprint event.
"Zhang Guan!" Ye Chu saw this name again!
"It's still Zhang Guan, it's really Zhang Guan! He wants to run 400 meters?" Ye Chu is not a professional sports person. He is not very clear about the concepts of 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, let alone 100 meters and 400 meters. There is a big difference between meters, but he knows that the 200 meters and 400 meters are not held on the same day, plus the 4x100 meters race, so there will definitely be more spectators able to see Zhang Guan's race.
…
"East Asian Games: Zhang Guan's 200m debut!" 》;
"Zhang Guan participated in the 400-meter dash event of the East Asian Games";
"Zhang Guan gave up the 100 meters and will participate in the 200 meters and 400 meters";
"The organizing committee changes the relay schedule, and the flying man will win three games in three days";
"Dugu Seeking Defeat?" Already invincible in the 100 meters, Zhang Guan moves to the 200-meter field";
"The advantage is too great, Zhang Guan is determined to be the 200-meter dash champion?" 》;
"100 meters and 400 meters, two different events, Zhang Guan encountered Waterloo? 》.
One day later, media reports were like a spurt. Then, countless reporters came in front of the Tianma Management Center, Xinzhuang Base, and Zhang Guan’s home. It was obvious that everyone was still paying attention to this matter. very high.
Then, the Tianma Management Center had to hold a special press conference.
"There are recent media reports that Zhang Guan did not participate in the 100-meter dash event of the East Asian Games, but participated in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash. Is it true?" a reporter asked.
"It is true. This can be found in the athlete registration information database of the East Asian Games Organizing Committee." the spokesperson said.
Another reporter immediately raised his hand and gained the right to speak: "When did Zhang Guan start training for the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash?"
The spokesman had already expected that someone would ask this question, so he said calmly: "Since the end of the Olympic Games last year, Zhang Guan has begun to try to train for the 200-meter dash. The 400-meter dash is It started after systematic training in the 200 meters.”
"How is Zhang Guan's current level in the 200m and 400m?" the reporter asked.
"Zhang Guan is a very capable athlete. His level and achievements in the 100-meter sprint are obvious to all. We are looking forward to Zhang Guan's excellent competitive level in the 200-meter and 400-meter races." .”
"I would like to ask the East Asian athletes this time, does Zhang Guan have the mission to win the championship in the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash?" asked the next reporter.
"There is a certain degree of unknown and unpredictability in the competition, so there is no situation like you mentioned. We sincerely hope that all athletes can achieve excellent results in the competition." The spokesperson said.
…
Japan, Japanese team head coach Keikazu Kobayashi has learned about Zhang Guan's participation in the 200-meter and 400-meter dash.
"We knew we couldn't beat Zhang Guan in the 100-meter dash, so we specially selected young athletes to participate in the 100-meter dash. In the two events of the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash, we sent ace athletes, but we didn't expect that Zhang Guan would I gave up participating in the 100-meter dash and chose the 200-meter and 400-meter events instead!" Although Kobayashi Keikazu's face was calm, he felt like he was running into a gun.
I saw a coach say: "Apart from Zhang Guan, other Chinese athletes are also very capable in the 100-meter sprint event. I think Zhang Guan deliberately gave up the 100-meter quota to other athletes of the Chinese team. That’s why he participated in the 200m and 400m races…”
"I don't want to know why Zhang Guan participated in the 200-meter and 400-meter races now. I want to know how much chance we have of winning!" Kobayashi Keihe interrupted the other party and continued: "Zhang Guan had not participated before this Any competition in the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash can be said to be his debut at the East Asian Games. We don’t have any information about Zhang Guan’s strength in the two events: the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash. .”
Inoue Satoru was the first to speak: "Coach, I don't think Zhang Guan will be very strong in these two events. We all know that it may be easier for 200-meter runners to transform into 100-meter runners, but it is easier for 100-meter runners to transform into 200-meter runners." It is very difficult. There are many top athletes in the world who can achieve extremely high results in the 100-meter dash, but not in the 200-meter event. As for the 400-meter dash, this is an event that requires very high technical requirements. , has nothing in common with the 100-meter dash, and Zhang Guan cannot be very strong in the 400-meter sprint."
"Coach, I agree with Mr. Inoue on the 400-meter event, but I think Zhang Guan should be very strong in the 200-meter dash, at least at the top level in Asia. As the world record holder in the 100-meter dash, he In the 100-meter dash event, he can lead us by about 0.5 seconds. Even though his 200-meter dash technique is not good, his speed is really advantageous. In the 200-meter event, if Sutsu Shingo competes , I think we still have a chance of winning, but Shenshi Gaoping may not be Zhang Guan's opponent." Gao Yejin said.
Kobayashi Keikazu nodded, he agreed with Takano Susumu's statement.
"Takano-kun, you are Japan's national record holder in the 400-meter dash. Please tell us more about the 400-meter dash. What do you think of Zhang Guan's 400-meter dash level?" Kobayashi Keikazu said.
Takano thought for a while and said: "As Mr. Inoue said, 100 meters and 400 meters are two completely different events. If you run 400 meters in the same way as 100 meters, you won't have to go to the second corner." He has no physical strength, so if Zhang Guan runs 400 meters, he must learn the 400-meter technique. I have seen Zhang Guan's schedule this year. He has been competing in Europe since the beginning of the year, and he did not return from Europe until September. After returning, he had no competition events for more than two months. This time was not enough to fully master the 400-meter sprint technique, especially in terms of rhythm adjustment and physical distribution. Each athlete must take steps based on his or her physical condition. Different programs require a lot of training to determine the exercise rhythm that suits you."
"Takano-kun, according to your assessment, what will be Zhang Guan's final score in the 400-meter dash?" Kobayashi Keikazu asked.
"Considering his sprinting talent, I think he should be able to run within 46.5 seconds, or even 46 seconds. Otherwise, the Chinese would not be able to send him to compete." Takano Jin said this and looked at it Everyone said with some excitement: "Everyone, I think this is a good opportunity for us, a good opportunity to defeat Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan is too arrogant. It would be fine if he only ran 200 meters, but he still chose to run. He won the 400 meters, so we can beat Zhang Guan in the 400 meters sprint event!"
Defeat Zhang Guan
Kobayashi Jinghe suddenly became energetic.
In the 2003 Asian Track and Field Championships, Zhang Guan was born. The 100-meter dash that the Japanese are most proud of has never been able to reach the top of Asia. Especially after Zhang Guan broke the world record in succession, it was like telling the Japanese directly not to count on it. Able to beat China in the 100-meter dash.
At last year's Athens Olympics, the Chinese team won two gold medals in the men's short track event. This was a breakthrough not only for the Chinese, but also for the entire Asia. These two gold medals directly told the world that yellow people can do it too. Won the world championship in track and field sprint! From that moment on, Kobayashi Keikazu began to bear tremendous pressure.
The Chinese already have world champions in two events. They are both Japanese with black hair and yellow skin. They also claim to be a sports power. They should also make some breakthroughs in the sprint event!
However, the performance of the Japanese track and field team this year was very average. In the competition, the best time of Japanese athletes was 10.40 seconds in the 100 meters, 20.89 seconds in the 200 meters, and 45.86 seconds in the 400 meters. This is compared with the previous two years. All have regressed.
The athletes are actually still the same group of athletes from the previous two years, and there are even newcomers such as Tsukahara Naoki, but their performance has declined. From the outside, the main responsibility must lie with the coach, and some people are pointing the finger. Refers to head coach Keikazu Kobayashi.
So Kobayashi Jinghe urgently needs a shot in the arm!
"Beat Zhang Guan! We can't do it at 100 meters, and maybe not at 200 meters, but we can definitely do it at 400 meters!"
