In ten days of practice, Director Ma went from a rookie who had never learned long jump to a national first-level long jumper. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Director Ma would never have believed it.
"Talent! Zhang Guan's physical talent is indeed very strong, perhaps the strongest in the world." Director Yu was not as surprised as Director Ma. He had seen Zhang Guan perform miracles many times, and he had even begun to get used to it.
"Yes, talent! We can't treat him as an ordinary Asian athlete, we have to treat him as a perverted black player like the United States... No, he is better than the black player!" Director Ma thought this way, and then he felt relieved.
For Chinese athletes, it is impossible to jump to 7.3 meters in ten days of practice, but for some European and American black athletes with abnormal jumping and basic sports skills, it may be possible. Just like those spring players in the NBA, it is not certain that they can achieve better results if they are given ten days of training time.
If you have never practiced any sports, it is completely impossible to jump to 7.3 meters in ten days. However, it is different if you have a sports foundation. The athlete's body flexibility and control are much stronger than ordinary people. Mastering The speed of new sports is naturally much faster than ordinary people.
This is like learning dance. If you ask a person who studies modern dance to learn folk dance, he may be able to master it after a few times; but if someone with a little dance basics learns folk dance, he may not be able to learn it in a few days.
On the approach track, Zhang Guan was ready again, and Director Ma also calmed down, waiting for Zhang Guan's third jump.
"7.14 meters!" the surveyor shouted Zhang Guan's score.
Upon hearing this result, Director Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the score of nearly 7.8 meters in the first trial jump is really false. In the trial jump just now, Zhang Guan's timing of movements was better, but the result was even worse. Is this normal? Director Ma thought to himself.
The score of more than 7 meters should be Zhang Guan's normal score in Director Ma's opinion.
Athletes who are international-level athletes in the 100-meter dash have not specifically trained in the long jump. Occasionally, they challenge the long jump. The normal level is at the 7-meter line, and Zhang Guan's 100-meter dash level is higher than that of ordinary international-level sports. The athletes are much higher, so Director Ma feels that the current level is Zhang Guan's normal performance.
"It's still far away from 7.8 meters! He still has three chances, but it's already impossible." Director Ma said while waiting for Zhang Guan's fourth jump.
…
In the approach area, Zhang Guan squatted down and tightened his shoelaces.
"I've almost adjusted my condition, and I'm slowly getting better at the long jump. There are still three more jumps left, so it's time to get serious. I have to give Director Ma a surprise!"
Zhang Guan took a deep breath and made a running gesture.
"Huh?" Director Yu suddenly let out a low voice. He felt that the aura exuding from Zhang Guan suddenly changed.
Over the past year or so, Director Yu has been the person who has spent the most time with Zhang Guan, and he is also the person who knows the most about Zhang Guan. He knows what Zhang Guan is like when he is serious and what he is like when he is not serious. But at this moment, he felt that Zhang Guan seemed to be serious.
"Haha, as I expected, the first three jumps are not that simple! Zhang Guan should still be adjusting during the first three jumps, and the next step is the real trial jump." Director Yu quietly looked at Director Ma and thought to himself: "Director Ma is probably going to get into trouble today."
Director Ma next to him, although he didn't know Zhang Guan as well as Director Yu, he felt that Zhang Guan seemed a little different at this time, but Director Ma couldn't tell what exactly had changed.
Zhang Guan is the world champion after all. He has been competing non-stop for more than a year, winning one championship after another, climbing one peak after another, and surpassing himself. In him, he has already cultivated He has that kind of championship temperament, which is like the calmness of the superior, the fierceness and courage of the soldier, and the bloodthirsty and indifference of the killer. This special temperament is not possessed by people in other professions.
What Zhang Guan now reveals inadvertently is the pride and confidence of a world champion.
The next moment, Zhang Guan looked at the sand pool in the distance and started to run.
With a running distance of more than 40 meters, Zhang Guan was able to increase his speed to the extreme. This is a world record speed, and no one in the world can achieve it.
He stepped on the springboard. Although his toes were still some distance from the marking line, so the takeoff was not perfect, it did not affect the height of his jump!
At this moment, Zhang Guan leaped into the air like a soaring eagle.
At this moment, Director Ma's eyes widened and he stared closely at Zhang Guan in mid-air.
"It's so high! The height of this flight can be said to be perfect!" Director Ma couldn't help but admire in his heart. Although Zhang Guan's flight this time cannot be said to be world-class, it is still at the level of domestic athletes. It can be considered perfect. Even the picky Director Ma would give this flight a perfect score.
But next, Zhang Guan's squatting movement was completely unacceptable to Director Ma.
"Timing, timing! The timing of this action is terrible! Zero points!" Director Ma thought to himself.
Although squatting is the simplest way to take off and fly into the air, it is also the most difficult to balance in the air. Among the three soaring styles, the walking style is the easiest to control balance and is also the favorite way of professional athletes; while the standing style can fully stretch the body and is much better than the squatting style in controlling balance.
Zhang Guan was already ready to land, and his body also began to fall. At the moment of landing, his feet shoveled into the sand pool. As the inertia pushed forward, the sand pool that had been leveled appeared instantly. After crossing two ravines, the sand turned forward and turned into a short sand wall, and then quickly fell to the ground. Zhang Guan, on the other hand, took advantage of his strength and stood up directly, sliding forward with inertia.
"This landing is not bad, barely qualified!" Director Ma commented on Zhang Guan's landing posture.
And at this moment, Director Yu's voice sounded from the side: "We seem to have passed the eight-meter line!"
Director Ma immediately looked at the distance scale marked next to the sand pool. The place where Zhang Guan landed seemed to be really at the eight-meter line.
"Eight meters? How is that possible! Did you step on the line?" Director Ma exclaimed, but saw the coach who was the referee at the takeoff board raising a white flag symbolizing the validity of the results.
"The results are valid! This jump was a success!" Director Yu said. The surveyor also called out Zhang Guan's jump result at this time.
"Breaking 8 meters! 8 meters 02! It's 8 meters 02!"
"Breaking 8 meters!" Director Ma repeated, his face was full of shock, but a second later, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's broken 8 meters! It's broken 8 meters! Old Yu, did you see it? It's broken 8 meters! It's only been ten days, and it's only been ten days of training! It's broken 8 meters!" Ma The director became more and more excited as he spoke, and his words gradually lost their logic.
The eight-meter mark in the long jump event is not insurmountable for domestic athletes. In the history of the national team, more than 30 people have achieved this result in competitions, and the domestic long jump record has reached 8.40 meters. But for a person who has only learned long jump for ten days, being able to jump over the eight-meter mark represents absolute talent. This is a talent that can become the world's top long jumper.
Next to Director Ma, Director Yu was also surprised. He had a feeling that Zhang Guan might be able to jump to 7.8 meters, but he never thought that Zhang Guan would jump over the eight-meter mark. Eight meters is not only an integer threshold for long jump athletes, but also a level for international athletes. For domestic track and field athletes, the standard line for international athletes in any event is a hurdle. Only a few of them can cross this hurdle with difficulty. This hurdle is whether they have the opportunity to enter the world competition.
Immediately afterwards, Director Yu became disappointed again. Zhang Guan jumped over the eight-meter mark, which meant that Zhang Guan was no longer just a sprinter. In the future, he would develop into the field of long jump, and long jump is no longer Yu's field. Guidance in areas of expertise. Instructor Yu will share Zhang Guan with other coaches.
"Zhang Guan! I didn't expect you to move so fast. In just over a year, you have already surpassed my footsteps and embarked on your own path. Maybe one day in the future, I really have nothing to teach you. It's yours..." Director Yu thought silently.
…
From this day on, the national team arranged another coach Li for Zhang Guan. Coach Li is much younger than Coach Yu. He is only in his early forties this year. He was a decathlon athlete when he was young and is now a decathlon coach. But when it comes to long jump level, Coach Li’s level is It is similar to a professional long jump coach, at least it is more than enough to guide a rookie like Zhang Guan.
Ten days later, this year's National Lawrence Top Ten Champions Awards were held again in Star City. This time Zhang Guan won the Best Male Athlete Award, and Liu Feiren won the Best Popular Athlete Award. The two changed from last year. At the same time, Director Yu also won the Best Coach Award.
After the Laureus Top Ten Champions Awards, the list of the seventh World Laureus Sports Awards was announced again. Zhang Guan was nominated for the Best Male Athlete, and those competing with Zhang Guan for the Best Male Athlete were basically old acquaintances from the previous year. , including tennis king Federer, car king Schumacher, Tiger Woods, and new footballer Ronaldinho.
Sharapova was not nominated for the Best Female Athlete nomination, but she has made an appointment with Zhang Guan to attend the World Laureus Sports Awards ceremony in Barcelona, Spain.
But before that, Zhang Guan has to participate in two competitions, the IAAF Grand Prix in Japan and the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Qatar.
