Coach Li was confused about what kind of medicine Zhang Guanhu was selling, so he asked: "What are you talking about triple jump?"

"Tell me some basic knowledge. Now I only have a partial understanding of what triple jump is." Zhang Guan said.

"What?" Coach Li looked at Zhang Guan in surprise. Ordinary track and field athletes would certainly not have too little knowledge of track and field. After all, they are both major events. If you have never eaten pork, you have never seen a pig running. And when it comes to the national team level, they are all the top athletes in the country. Many of them have practiced several events. There are also many people who have participated in all-around events in low-level competitions. For example, Liu Feiren once won the national junior championship. The all-around champion.

But Zhang Guan is different. He is not an athlete trained in the traditional system. His track and field knowledge is very lacking. In his previous life, he only practiced track and field for more than a year in order to enter college, and in the end he barely passed the level of a second-level athlete. , so he has at best a partial understanding of track and field events that he has never been exposed to. It is for this reason that before he practiced 400 meters, he went to other athletes to talk to him.

It took Coach Li a few seconds to figure this out. Then he pulled Zhang Guan to sit down on the ground and said, "I won't introduce the history of the triple jump to you. Go back and check it out online. It's simple. In other words, the triple jump is three consecutive jumps. Compared with the long jump, the triple jump has one more one-leg jump and one more stride jump. Because of this, the technical requirements for the triple jump are higher than those for the long jump. Moreover, the overall burden on the athletes’ lower limbs is very large, and it should be regarded as the most burdensome sport on the lower limbs in track and field.”

"Is the triple jump easy to practice?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The technique is not difficult to master. Compared with the long jump, the triple jump has higher requirements on technology, physical fitness, flexibility and coordination, while the long jump has slightly higher requirements on explosive power and approach speed." Li The coach thought for a while and then said: "There are many athletes in the world who practice both long jump and triple jump, and can achieve good results. For example, our country's current long jump record holder, his triple jump results It’s also close to 17 meters. There are many double champions in the world in the long jump and triple jump.”

"Then when I finish practicing the long jump, I'll try the triple jump." Zhang Guan said.

Coach Li laughed: "You, you definitely can't do it! It's not that you can't jump far, or that you can't jump well, it's just that you are not suitable for triple jump."

"Why? I have no problem practicing long jump." Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"Because you are the holder of the 100-meter world record." Coach Li continued: "Didn't I just say that the triple jump requires high flexibility and coordination of the body, and 100-meter sprinters have high muscle density? It’s very big. To put it simply, the body is too stiff to practice triple jump. Look at Carl Lewis from the United States, the world champion in 100 meters, 200 meters and long jump. Why doesn’t he try triple jump? No. Because the skills are not up to standard, but because they are not suitable. Many of our athletes who switch from sprinting to long jump will not try the triple jump event. However, there are hurdlers who switch to the triple jump."

"Because of the step jump?" Zhang Guan asked.

"For this reason, hurdlers have stronger body flexibility and coordination than long jumpers, and their muscles are not weak in explosive power. There are also some similarities between stride jumping techniques and hurdle techniques." Director Li Speak up.

"Jump in stride? I'll try it first." Zhang Guan stood up and jumped once in a stride.

"How is this a step jump? It's just a big step at most." Coach Li stood up as he spoke, and continued: "Look carefully, I will demonstrate it to you."

After a few steps of trotting, Coach Li began to perform five or six consecutive steps and jumps, and then said: "You can see the difference!"

Zhang Guan nodded, and Coach Li continued to explain: "The key point of step jump is not to step, but to jump! Since it is a jump, it needs to be in the air. You can't see the air in the jump just now, so just It can be regarded as crossing, but not as jumping."

"I'll try again." Zhang Guan imitated Coach Li's example, taking a few steps of trot as a start-up, and then began to jump continuously.

"No, no!" Coach Li smiled and waved his hand: "This is not a step jump. Although the movements are similar, the force is not exerted in this way. Your force is still biased towards running, not jumping."

Zhang Guan stopped. Just as Coach Li said, he also felt that his jump was wrong. He frowned as if he was thinking, but he found a skill in the system.

"The skill 'Step' is supposed to be used in obstacle races and triple jumps, but you have to learn 'Step' and the skill 'Strong Knees', so you get a total of six skill points. But it's okay , there are still a lot of skill points, just learn them all!" Zhang Guan thought of this and learned the two skills of 'Strong Knee' and 'Stride'.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. You're not practicing triple jump. It doesn't matter whether you can step jump or not. Go back and take a shower first, then go to eat and have a good rest at night." Coach Li said.

"Coach, let me try again." After Zhang Guan finished speaking, he started a small run again, and then performed continuous step jumps.

This time, Zhang Guan's first few jumps were still the same, but then he seemed to gradually find the feeling, and the next few jumps were also impressive.

"The knee joint feels a lot more relaxed, and it seems easier to exert force." Zhang Guan slowly stopped and began to slowly recall the feeling of stepping and jumping just now.

"Well, this time was pretty good. I found some tricks. The next few jumps can barely be regarded as step jumps!" Coach Li commented, and then began to urge Zhang Guan to eat.

There is only more than a week left before the second stop of the Golden League. Excluding the time to adapt and travel two days in advance, Zhang Guan actually only has five or six days to prepare for the game. In order to prepare for the Golden League, training in the long jump has basically stopped, and Zhang Guan mainly trains in the 400-meter sprint.

On the track, Zhang Guan started to take off following the instruction given by the instructor.

"I haven't practiced in vain these days. My cornering level has improved a lot compared to a month ago, and my speed has also improved." Director Yu smiled and nodded.

Next, Zhang Guan entered the straight track. There was still no obvious change in his rhythm. However, Zhang Guan's pace was different from usual. The amplitude of his steps became larger and larger. When he reached the middle of the straight line, the amplitude of Zhang Guan's steps Only then did he start to stabilize. At this time, Zhang Guan's steps were almost ten centimeters wider than usual.

"Eh?" Director Yu took a breath of air: "Is Zhang Guan deliberately increasing his pace? Is he learning Varina's technique? This technique is very difficult, and if you don't know how to use it blindly, it will lead to trouble. It affects the distribution of physical strength, affects the speed at the end, and the final performance does not increase but decreases. Zhang Guan didn't run like this during training yesterday. It is probably because he was thinking wildly last night."

Director Yu shook his head helplessly. This technique of long strides in a straight line is currently only used by Varina in competitions. Some other athletes have also tried it, but the pace increase cannot be the same as Varina's. And language.

Just talking about increasing the pace of running, athletes can actually do it, but their physical fitness will become a big problem later. When we usually walk, we will not feel tired if we walk at a normal pace for a long time, but if we can increase the pace, we will feel tired after a short while. The same is true for athletes. If they learn Varina's running method, they may gain a 0.5 second advantage in the second 100 meters, but due to excessive physical exertion, they will be unable to sprint at the end, and the final time lost will be more than 0.5 seconds. Seconds, this is not worth the loss.

Therefore, Director Yu could predict that Zhang Guan's use of such a large-pace running method in the second 100 meters would definitely disrupt his normal physical distribution and cause problems in the final 100 meters of sprinting.

However, Director Yu immediately discovered that Zhang Guanzheng was slightly proud of himself on the runway.

"Is this kid still good? Think he's running well? He won't be able to keep up for a while, and you'll cry!" Director Yu thought to himself.

Director Yu didn't know that Zhang Guan could no longer conceal the ecstatic excitement deep in his heart. At this time, Zhang Guan's physical exertion was not what Director Yu had imagined, and it remained the same as before.

"I actually learned Varina's running method! It's a step, it's a step skill! I used to think that the step skill was only useful in obstacle running and triple jump, but I didn't expect that it would be useful in the 400-meter sprint event. It can also be used. If I had known that this skill could be used in the 400 meters, I would have learned it a long time ago! Thanks to Coach Li yesterday, I learned how to step jump, otherwise it would have been a long time before I would remember to learn this step skill. .This really gave me a big surprise.”

At this moment, Zhang Guan felt that he needed to re-examine the skills in the skill column. Although many of the skills in the skill column are indeed sports-specific skills, there are also many general-purpose skills. For example, the most primitive sprint skill is used in all running-related projects, and the more common sports, the greater the value of the skill.

"This technique can probably increase my 400-meter speed by 0.5 seconds!" Zhang Guan thought as he quickly adjusted his pace and entered the curve area.

Zhang Guan's pace and rhythm did not change, as usual. Then when he was about to enter the final straight, he started sprinting. His sprinting speed was still like that of an athlete running 200 meters. There was no physical problem as the instructor imagined. .

"You're rushing so fast?" Director Yu, who had made a mistake in judgment, was shocked. The physical distribution problem he expected did not occur, which proved a fact.

"Zhang Guan has mastered that technique!" Director Yu felt that this surprise was so sudden that he suddenly became dizzy.
