Zhang Guan casually flipped through the financial statements of the "Champion Fund" since its establishment. Zhang Guan actually didn't understand much about financial accounting, but Zhang Guan recognized the numbers on the statements. Currently, the most important project of the Champion Fund is The "free lunch" plan has only been implemented for a few months, and the cost of the "free lunch" plan has already exceeded three million, which is much more than Zhang Guan originally expected.
"This is just the beginning. If it is truly rolled out in the future, tens of millions of dollars will be invested at least a year! But the money has been spent on real things, and it is worth it!" Zhang Guan put down the report in his hand.
"Public welfare is always a bottomless pit. Even if the money is used where it should be used, it is still not enough. For example, this free lunch program has only been established in dozens of schools. Just spending money like this has reduced the poverty all over the country. There are so many primary and secondary school students, and my strength alone is still too weak. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to launch a massive public opinion offensive to attract more people's attention. After two days of the National Track and Field Championships, I also have to go to those schools in person." Zhang Guan thought as he posted the publicly available contents of the "Free Lunch" plan on his blog.
Blogs have become very popular nowadays, especially for celebrities like Zhang Guan. Blogs have attracted a lot of attention. Several major online media have spent a lot of money to invite Zhang Guan to their blogs. Zhang Guan also likes to update his blog and often posts photos of competitions abroad. For example, at the IAAF Super Grand Prix Lausanne two days ago, Zhang Guan posted several photos of Liu Feiren breaking the world record. Exclusive photos, these on-site records are very attractive. It is precisely because of the pictures and texts recorded in real time that Zhang Guan's blog can be said to be the blog with the most attention and fans in China.
At this moment, Zhang Guan's cell phone rang.
"It's Director Ma! It's probably about registration for the National Track and Field Championships." Zhang Guan answered the phone while thinking.
Director Ma's voice rang from the other end of the receiver: "Zhang Guan! What are you going to do? Just sign up for the long jump. What's going on with the 800 meters? Although the 400 meters and the 800 meters are interconnected, the 800 meters After all, the meter is a mid-range race! I reluctantly tolerated it if you reported an 800-meter run, but why is there a 1,500-meter run? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"I just feel that sprinting in domestic competitions is quite boring. In recent years, there have been many excellent sprinters in our country. For example, Hu Kai in the 100-meter dash is quite good. Recently, a newcomer named Zhang has emerged. Peimeng also has great potential. I won't join in the fun if I have nothing to do. It's not easy to get that ranking in the track and field championships. Leave the opportunity to others..." Zhang Guan rambled casually.
"Tell the truth!" Director Ma interrupted Zhang Guan's words and said sharply.
"Haha..." Zhang Guan smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to tell the truth: "This National Track and Field Championships happens to be the track and field trials of the Asian Games. I was wondering if I would have a chance to run if there was a champion in the 800-meter race. 800 meters in the Asian Games.”
"I knew your kid had other ideas!" Director Ma continued simply: "You have no chance."
"No, Director Ma, haven't we run yet? Give me a chance! Let me finish the National Track and Field Championships and then make a conclusion!" Zhang Guan said.
"Go and run, no one will stop you from running!" Director Ma smiled, and then continued: "It's just that in this Doha Asian Games, in the men's event, our national team has no plans to participate in the 800 meters and 1500 meters!"
"What? We don't participate in the 800 meters and 1500 meters? Why?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.
"I'm not strong enough, so I went looking for abuse!" Director Ma said directly.
Zhang Guan frowned: "If we can't go to the Olympics, we'll accept it. Why not go to the Asian Games?"
"Asian Games? Don't underestimate the middle-distance running in the Asian Games. It's not much lower than the Olympic level!" Director Ma then explained: "Do you know where the highest level of middle-distance running in the world is? It's in West Asia. Those countries in West Asia The athletes themselves are relatively good at middle-distance running. In recent years, many African athletes from Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain have become naturalized. The middle-distance running level of these countries is world-class. The middle-distance running level of Iran, Oman, and Kuwait is also world-class. Not bad, even Iraq has strong overall runners. In comparison, our middle-distance runners in East Asia are considered to be at the bottom of the world, and neither we nor Japan have strong middle-distance runners."
"Another naturalized regiment from Africa..." Zhang Guan sighed lightly.
Just listen to Director Ma continue to say: "This Doha Asian Games, our country has sent about 900 athletes, which is the largest overseas Asian Games. In addition, there are also coaches, staff, translators, etc., a total of 400 people." There are many people. It is estimated that the number of delegations can reach more than 1,300 people. Although this is a lot of people, in fact every place is very precious. You know that our country’s Olympic Games will be in two years, so this time at the Doha Asian Games, we The main goal of the national team is to prepare for the Olympic Games two years later."
Zhang Guan thought for a while and said: "In the two events of 800 meters and 1500 meters, our country will definitely not be able to pass the Olympic B standard and will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games. So we simply don't send people to participate in the Doha Asian Games to save money. The quota will be given to athletes from other sports who can participate in the Olympics, am I right?"
"That's about it!" Director Ma said awkwardly.
"It's really practical." Zhang Guan continued: "But this is just right! I will cover the two events of 800 meters and 1500 meters by myself! When I go to Doha, I will win the gold medal for you and save on air tickets. And room and board money.”
"Haha, just brag. Middle-distance running and sprinting are different." Director Ma continued, "If you really want to have fun at the National Track and Field Championships in a few days, then go and try it, but be careful to protect your health. , don’t hurt yourself. You still have to continue participating in the Golden League!"
Director Ma put down the phone, sighed slightly, and said to himself: "Am I too indulgent to Zhang Guan?"
But then, Director Ma thought of his leader, Director Luo, and seemed to indulge Zhang Guan even more.
Zhang Guan is undoubtedly the "number one" athlete in China. He has a lot of world records in his hand. Even Yao Yao in basketball is not as good as Zhang Guan, so there is no doubt that Zhang Guan can enjoy more privileges. For example, in terms of asking for leave, it is much more difficult for Liu Feiren to take leave than for Zhang Guan. For example, Liu Feiren has applied for leave twice this year, but neither has been approved. However, Zhang Guan usually only needs to submit the application, and Director Luo will be very happy. Quick approval.
The management of the national team is actually quite strict, especially for young athletes. Zhang Guan is the only exception. In fact, whether in the eyes of Director Luo, Director Ma or Director Yu, Zhang Guan is still a big kid, or a big kid with a lot of personality. They may have a special kind of doting on Zhang Guan.
…
Zhang Guan put down his phone, entered the system, and silently examined the new skill.
Skill: Follow and run, master level. Run with the same rhythm and speed of the athlete in front of you on the same track, and your physical strength consumption will be 50% of normal. Note: The skill has no effect when there is no athlete in front of the same track, and the skill has no effect when there is a lapping athlete in front.
"Follow me and run, you have amazing skills in middle and long distance running!" Zhang Guan sighed silently.
The biggest difference in rules between middle and long-distance running and sprinting is merging. Sprinting has one track for each person, while middle and long-distance running has a "rushing line". As long as athletes pass the rushing line, they can merge. All athletes will choose the innermost track with the shortest distance to run. , so the athletes will run in a straight line.
Every athlete's physical fitness and technical characteristics are different, and the physical reserves and on-the-spot conditions of each game are also different. Therefore, some people will naturally run fast and some will run slowly during the game, even if they are always in the same small area. Athletes running in a group will also have differences in their physical reserves during the final sprint.
But if there is a person who runs as fast as others and moves at the same pace as others, but his physical energy consumption is only half of others, then it is equivalent to directly announcing the result of the game. That person who consumes only half of his physical energy will definitely be in the final sprint. Defeat other players.
Therefore, Zhang Guan's skill can be said to be a magical skill in middle and long-distance running. In the competition, as long as he crosses the lane line and completes the merge, Zhang Guan only needs to spend half of his energy to run behind others honestly. , wait until the most sprinting moment to dodge to a runway with no one in front of you, and then sprint as hard as you can. Anyway, the physical exertion is only half of others, and the final sprint will obviously be much faster than other athletes.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. "Follow Running" can only be regarded as a winning skill, but it is not a record-breaking skill.
The limitation of this skill is that there must be a leading athlete in front of you on the same track before it can be used. This means that if you are running first and there are no other athletes in front of you, this skill will have no effect. This skill is useless if the leading athlete is not on the same track.
In addition, the speed of the following runner depends on the speed of the runner in front. If the runner in front runs fast, the runner following will naturally run fast. But if the runner in front runs slowly, the runner following will naturally run slower. This means that the athlete's final performance does not depend on himself, but on the person in front.
When using this skill, being able to break a certain record depends entirely on luck. The runner in front of you can run at a world record level, and the runner following you can naturally break the world record. However, if the runner in front of you is only a national first-level athlete, then the follower may only be able to run better than a national first-level athlete. Faster results.
