Zhang Guan followed the penultimate place very steadily. He was said to be the penultimate place, but in fact he and the first place were both in the same group. In addition, the formation of the athletes was relatively compact, so there was no difference between the first place and the last place. The gap between them is only six or seven meters, which is nothing in a 1500-meter run.
The penultimate place in front of Zhang Guan was a penultimate place that was unwilling to be left alone. He obviously felt that he should be faster, so he took advantage of the opportunity to enter the straight, moved to the outside track, and then took the lead in front of him. Players came to challenge.
The penultimate place left the innermost track, and the athlete in front of Zhang Guan became another person. The "following running" skill is to copy the rhythm and speed of the athlete in front, so following the athlete in front of Zhang Guan It was another person, and Zhang Guan's rhythm and speed instantly changed to that person's rhythm.
"Huh?" Coach Zhou couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Am I reading that right? Why did the rhythm change so instantly? And it's still the same as the previous players. What's going on?" Coach Zhou looked at the field in confusion.
Following up in middle and long-distance running events is very important, and it is also a very difficult skill to master. Athletes must first be familiar with and master various sports rhythms, and then have the ability to quickly adjust the rhythm and quickly adapt to new rhythms. In addition, experience is also an indispensable part. Rich experience can allow athletes to instantly judge what is ahead. Changes in pace and then adjust accordingly.
In yesterday's race, Zhang Guan showed first-class follow-up ability. His rhythm control was the same as that of the previous athletes. Even many experienced veterans felt inferior. After today's start, although Zhang Guan finished in the last lap, Although he was famous, he still showed an excellent following rhythm.
But at that moment, the penultimate place started to overtake, and Zhang Guan's running rhythm changed instantly, which surprised Coach Zhou. You must know that if the rhythm of the athlete in front changes, it will take time to adjust if the athlete behind changes the rhythm of running. This requires a process.
But Zhang Guan seemed to have no such process at all. He instantly changed his running rhythm, and the result after the change was still so perfect. This was simply beyond Coach Zhou's thinking.
"What happened just now? How did Zhang Guan change his running rhythm in an instant? I have been a coach for more than ten years, and an athlete for more than ten years when I was young. I have never heard of this. This kind of thing." Of course Coach Zhou was extremely puzzled, and the more he thought about it, the more unreasonable he felt. At this time, Coach Zhou felt that his nearly thirty years of training and vocational education seemed to have been in vain.
"This kid Zhang Guan can't use common sense to guess. He does some abnormal things that I can't understand. This is normal!" Coach Zhou comforted himself.
…
Perhaps the pace of the front runner was too slow. Tang Baojun used the 500-meter straight track to overtake him to the first position and then began to lead.
Although leading requires more energy, some capable athletes will also lead in order to better maintain their own rhythm. After all, Tang Baojun is a national championship-level athlete. After he took the lead, his speed also increased by a level. After that, some stronger players still don’t have much pressure to follow, while those with weaker skills gradually become unable to do so.
Tang Baojun deliberately chose a relatively fast leading pace. When the race reached 1,000 meters, the distance between the athletes began to slowly widen. Tang Baojun was still leading the way, followed closely by Yang Anyue. A national championship-level player was very close. The third place was obviously a level lower than these two. Although it followed closely, it could always be seen that it was a bit reluctant.
At this time, the gap between Zhang Guan and the first place had widened to about fifteen meters.
"You can't follow me like this. The runners behind me are already starting to be unable to keep up with the leader. I have to catch up!"
Zhang Guan thought he could do it. He moved his body directly to the second adjacent lane on the outside, and then used the next straight run to start to quickly overtake.
"Zhang Guan is starting to accelerate!" Cheers immediately came from the scene, and everyone began to look forward to Zhang Guan's overtaking.
Before this, Zhang Guan's physical strength consumption was only half that of others, so it was extremely easy for him to surpass him this time. His speed increased very quickly, and he surpassed seven or eight athletes one after another.
"Oh, it's so fast! As expected of Zhang Guan!"
"There's still one more lap left? Why are you starting to charge now?"
Finally, Zhang Guan reached the fifth position at the end of the straight. Then he merged onto the inside track again and continued to follow.
"I was shocked. It turned out that he was trying to grab position. I thought he was going to sprint a lap ahead of schedule!" A player who was overtaken by Zhang Guan thought to himself.
However, the professionals in the viewing area began to shake their heads. Although Zhang Guan grabbed the fifth place from the last place, in their opinion, the timing of this overtaking was very bad, and it seemed that the gain was not worth the loss.
There is still one lap left before the end of the game. When the contestants cross 1100 meters, which is the finish line, the referee will ring a small bell to remind the contestants that there is one lap left in the game. This bell is also considered a sprint reminder. , because when athletes hear the bell, they will start to increase their rhythm, and everyone must use all their remaining energy in the last lap.
However, the place where Zhang Guan chose to overtake was at the end of the straight track. When Zhang Guan cut to the inside track again, the bell just sounded to remind the players of the last lap. The players began to sprint, and the rhythm would inevitably change. At this time Zhang Guancai had just finished overtaking in a fast run, and then immediately had to increase his pace to follow. There was no buffer time in the middle to adjust. This kind of fast running followed by an increase in pace to follow is a very physically demanding behavior. , if it is an athlete with relatively average physical strength, this change in rhythm is likely to lead to a direct collapse of the game. Therefore, from a professional perspective, the transcendental node chosen by Zhang Guan is very unscientific.
On the track, Zhang Guan also felt a bit of pressure, and his physical strength dropped rapidly at this moment. This was not a technical problem, but a physiological necessity. But Zhang Guan's following rhythm is still very good. Although Zhang Guan lost a little physical strength due to physical discomfort, after following the running, his body adjusted accordingly. In terms of physical reserves, Zhang Guan still has Advantage.
At 1,300 meters, the advantage of the leading group has become more obvious. Zhang Guan and other six people are in the leading group and are very close to each other. According to normal judgment, the final champion will be among these six people.
At 1,400 meters, another person in the leading group gradually fell behind. At the same time, the cheering voices in the field became more and more intense. only…
"Zhang Guan! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on!"
"Zhang Guan! Charge forward and win the championship!"
The audience was full of cheers for Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan’s popularity was reflected in the fact that the audience was full of cheers for Zhang Guan. As for the other players, probably only their relatives and friends would cheer for them.
About to enter the last 100 meters, the players in the leading group are preparing to start the final sprint, especially the three people at the front. The competition between them is very fierce. All three hope to occupy a better sprint position.
"1500 meters is really exhausting, but the remaining physical strength should be able to support the last 100 meters of sprinting." Zhang Guan thought silently in his heart. At the same time, he ignored the top three who were fiercely competing for position, and went directly to Moving outside, in order to avoid interference from others, Zhang Guan even gave up the second lane and chose to enter the third lane instead.
"Zhang Guan is about to start sprinting! Will he be as fast as yesterday?"
Everyone craned their necks to look, and Director Ma and Director Yu on the podium stood up directly.
In yesterday's competition, what impressed Zhang Guan most was not his leaping over the eight-meter mark in the long jump qualifying round, but his astonishing sprint speed at the end of the 800-meter preliminaries. There are a lot of athletes who can jump over eight meters, but Zhang Guan is the only one in the world who can sprint so fast at the end of 800 meters. After discussions after the game, many coaches and athletes came to the conclusion that Zhang Guan's physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Today, everyone is most concerned about whether Zhang Guan can replicate yesterday's game again and create an astonishing speed in the 1,500-meter sprint.
Zhang Guan obviously will not let everyone down.
After entering the straight track, Zhang Guan started sprinting. In the first twenty meters, he had caught up with the two national champions, Tang Baojun and Yang Anyue. After another ten meters, Zhang Guan was already in the first position. Then, under the speed gap, , Zhang Guan's lead is getting bigger and bigger.
Tang Baojun and Yang Anyue, the two world champions, looked helplessly at Zhang Guan's back. They had tried their best and their physical strength was about to be exhausted. Faced with Zhang Guan's sprint speed, they could not even think about overtaking. No.
"Zhang Guan! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on!" The cheers on the scene became more and more powerful at this moment. Zhang Guan's lead was obviously what the audience wanted to see most.
Director Yu on the rostrum took a breath of air: "Sure enough, it's still the case! After running 1,400 meters, I still have so much physical reserves. Although Zhang Guan's sprint today is slower than yesterday's 800-meter sprint, But it is far more than other athletes. Even the top athletes in the world cannot run so fast in the final sprint of 1500 meters!"
Afterwards, Director Yu quietly glanced at Director Ma, only to find that the corners of Director Ma's mouth were raised and he was smiling.
"Does he really want Zhang Guan to participate in the middle distance running in the Asian Games?" Director Yu thought with a guilty conscience.
…
Zhang Guan crossed the finish line first, with a time of 3 minutes, 41 seconds and 10 seconds. According to the preliminaries, this is a very good result. It has reached the level of national-level athletes. If it is two seconds faster, it will reach the Olympic B standard.
The current Olympic A standard for 1,500 meters is 3 minutes, 36 seconds and 60 seconds, while the Olympic B standard is 3 minutes, 39 seconds. For Chinese athletes, the Olympic B standard is a great result.
…
Just as the audience stood up and cheered for Zhang Guan, beside Coach Zhou, a muscular man looked at Zhang Guan's achievements, his eyes full of high morale.
He is Zhang Guan's teammate in the provincial team and the national record holder in the 1,500-meter run - Dou Zhaobo.
