"Nani?" Takano Susumu exclaimed in Japanese.
Takano Susumu was surprised that Zhang Guan and Tsuchie Hiroshi were competing at the same time. Although Tsuchie Hiroshi was the weakest among the three athletes sent by Japan in the 100-meter event, Takano Shin insisted that athletes from other Asian countries No one will be faster than Tujiang Kuanyu. Moreover, Tsuchie is a competitor who specializes in the 200-meter event, so he should be stronger in the second half of the race. Takano Susumu always believes that in the second half of the game, Tsuchie will be able to shake off Zhang Guan.
But Zhang Guan became faster.
The duration of the newly upgraded sprint skill has been doubled again. Master sprint can allow Zhang Guan to maintain a sprint state for 40 seconds. The more important effect has once again been improved to a certain extent.
There were still more than 30 meters left from the finish line. Zhang Guan's fierce force opened the distance between him and Tu Jiang. Susumu Takano, who was watching from the sidelines, was just stunned and realized that Zhang Guan had already surpassed Tu Jiang. A lot of room.
Kanyu Tsuchie on the track had already felt the change in Zhang Guan's speed the moment Zhang Guan accelerated. He wanted to catch up, but found that his speed had reached the limit and could only watch Zhang Guan pass him.
"Baga, he is obviously faster than me, but he deliberately wants to keep pace with me. He waits until I have tried my best before he uses his strength to surpass me! He is playing a trick on me." Tsuchie Hiroshi suddenly felt humiliated. Feelings well up in my heart. But he knew that he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan's speed.
"This speed is probably comparable to Asahara-senpai (Asahara Nobuharu) and Sutsu-kun (Satsutsu-kun). I didn't expect that someone in the Chinese team could run so fast." Toge Hiroshi looked at Zhang Guan with sadness and anger, and Zhang Guan Guanze slowed down a bit before the finish line, but still crossed the line first.
…
Even Zhang Guan himself felt huge waves in his heart.
"Is this the effect of the master sprint skill? It's so powerful!"
As the person involved, Zhang Guan could feel the power of the master-level sprint, especially after exerting all his strength, the air flow driven by the running continued to fly past his ears. Although he could not hear it clearly, it made him feel intoxicated.
Zhang Guan wanted to try his best, but his reason told him not to run too fast, as long as he broke the national record, it would be enough.
…
"Well done! We passed! Come on! First!" Chen Jian watched Zhang Guan cross the finish line first. He excitedly shook the towel in his hand and cheered loudly, while other national team players or coaches beside him There were also bursts of cheers.
In contrast, Takano Jin next to him had a very ugly expression. His eyes were waiting to open up, as if he was about to spit out fire. Then Takano looked at the scoreboard and carefully looked at the numbers on it.
Tsuchie ran a time of 10.17 seconds, which is definitely a very fast time. If placed in the Olympics, it would be enough to enter the second round. Tsuchie rarely reaches such a good level in competitions.
But Zhang Guan was faster than Toe Kanyu. He ran a time of 10.09 seconds and broke into the 10.10 mark. Zhang Guan once again broke his own national record and won the A skill point reward.
…
Japanese head coach Keikazu Kobayashi, who had just finished being interviewed by reporters, walked out of the athletes' tunnel. Seeing that the game was over, he subconsciously looked at the big screen recording the results.
"Who is it? 10.09 seconds. Who actually broke the 10.10 seconds mark. Is it Tsuchie-kun?" Kobayashi Keikazu felt happy, but then he discovered that the name in front of this result was not Tsuchie Hiroshi.
"Zhang Guan? Chinese? He's the one who broke the Chinese 100-meter record!" Coach Keiwa Kobayashi felt something was wrong, so he ran all the way to find Susumu Takano, and happened to meet Kanyu Tsuchie who was leaving the competition.
"Tsuchie-kun, what's going on? What happened on the field just now?" Kobayashi Keikazu asked impatiently.
"Coach, I'm very sorry, I've disappointed you." Tsuchie Hiroshi immediately bowed and apologized.
Takano Shin also came over and said: "Coach, this is not Toe-kun's fault. Toe-kun ran a time of 10.17 seconds, which was already a very good performance in his competition. It's just that I didn't expect that guy named Zhang Guan’s young Chinese player will be so fast.”
Takano Susumu told Kobayashi Keikazu what happened in the competition just now. After hearing this, Kobayashi Keikazu let out a long sigh and said to Tsuchie Kanhiro: "Tsuchie-kun, you did not get first place. This is a crime other than war. You have already done it." It's very good, and you helped us test the strength of our opponent, so that Asahara-kun and Suetsugu-kun will not be at a loss when facing him. Don't be mentally burdened, go down and have a good rest, don't forget that you still have 200 meters to go Project competition.”
Tsuchie Hiroshi left first, while Takano Susumu walked to Kobayashi Keikazu and asked: "Coach, I will arrange for someone to investigate Zhang Guan's detailed information as soon as I get back."
"There's no rush." Xiao Lin Jinghe waved his hand: "Look, there are people who are more anxious than us."
Takano fell asleep and looked in the direction pointed by Kobayashi Keikazu, and found two reporters holding filming equipment and microphones heading towards the Chinese team.
"I know them, they are the official reporters of the Asian Athletics Association." Takano said.
Kobayashi Keikazu smiled meaningfully: "The time of 10.09 seconds should be in the top ten among the current best times in Asia! Among Asian athletes, as long as they can run under 10.10 seconds, it is no small matter, and worthy of Asia The Athletics Association will pay attention. And today’s game is too dull, even the official will not give up this news point.”
…
Chen Jian excitedly rushed to Director Yu and danced like a child and said: "Director Yu, did you see it? Zhang Guan ran 10.09 seconds, breaking the 10.10 mark!"
Director Yu looked very calm. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "I saw it. He ran well."
But no one noticed that Director Yu's hands that were stuffed in his pockets and trembling with excitement betrayed his mood at the moment.
When the starting reaction time was displayed, Director Yu already guessed that Zhang Guan could run better than before. Zhang Guan once broke the national record with a time of 10.16 seconds. At that time, Zhang Guan's starting reaction time was about 0.3 seconds. Now his starting reaction time of 0.153 seconds is nearly 0.15 seconds faster than before. From this, Director Yu calculated that Zhang Guan's real time should be between Just over 10 seconds. However, the condition of athletes fluctuates. Director Yu believes that if Zhang Guan wants to achieve a time close to 10 seconds, he should do it when he is in better condition.
But the time of 10.09 seconds clearly exceeded Yu Yu’s expectations. This was not only another new national record, but also a time that entered the 10.10-second mark. He was the first person in the national team to enter the 10.10-second mark. According to the past experience of other countries, if a young athlete can enter 10.10 seconds, it means that he is not far from the 10-second mark.
"Maybe we can beat the Japanese in the 100-meter dash!" Director Yu couldn't help but look forward to the future.
At this time, a staff member of the national team came over with two reporters.
"Director Yu, these two official reporters from the Asian Athletics Association want to interview Zhang Guan of our team." The staff member added: "Just now we have called Director Ma for instructions, and he said that we should not affect the normal performance of the athletes. Try to cooperate as much as possible while resting.”
Director Yu frowned slightly. If it had been other reporters, he might have been able to directly intervene, but it was the official reporter from the Asian Athletics Association who came. You must know that the Asian Athletics Association is the organizer of the Asian Athletics Championships, and the official reporter of the organizer still has to give some face. And as the official reporter of the organizer, it is impossible to ask some more pointed or difficult questions to answer.
"Okay, let's go to the rest area." After Director Yu finished speaking, he pointed to the rest area in the distance, then waved Zhang Guan forward and said softly: "Xiao Zhang, there are two official reporters from the Asian Athletics Association who want to interview you."
"Interview? I am completely unprepared!" Zhang Guan said.
"No need to prepare." Director Yu continued in a low voice: "The questions asked by these official reporters are all the same. They are nothing more than asking you about your thoughts on the game just now, the ultimate goal of this game, and at most adding an ideal for the future. Don’t be nervous, just tell the truth.”
"By the way, Director Yu, should I answer questions in Chinese or English?" Zhang Guan asked.
Director Yu turned around sharply, glared at Zhang Guan in surprise, and said, "Can you speak English?"
"A simple conversation should be fine." Zhang Guan said. Zhang Guan also tried to take the postgraduate entrance examination back then, but failed in the end. Coupled with his ability to watch English movies, the most basic English conversations were still acceptable.
Director Yu also suddenly thought that Zhang Guan was a high school student who studied conscientiously before. He was not like other athletes of the national team who had been training in sports schools since childhood. However, Director Yu still said: "You don't need to speak English, our team There is a translator.”
…
The female reporter who interviewed Zhang Guan was a young Chinese woman.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, my Chinese name is Chen Meimei. Can we interview now?" the female reporter said in fluent Chinese.
Zhang Guan, who was still struggling with Chinese and English, was immediately surprised and asked subconsciously: "Can you speak Chinese?"
"Yes, I am a Singaporean, so I can speak Chinese." The female reporter smiled slightly and asked again: "Can we interview now?"
"Okay, let's start the interview." Zhang Guan replied.
"In the competition just now, you ran into the 10.10-second mark and achieved a great time of 10.09 seconds. As far as I know, only four athletes in Asia have ever run into the 10.10-second mark before, and you are the fifth , I wonder how you feel about this." The female reporter asked.
"It's exactly what Director Yu said. Let me ask you your thoughts first!" Zhang Guan thought to himself. Then I thought about it carefully and found that I really didn't feel anything. After all, there was a system and the sprinting skills had just been upgraded, so Zhang Guan felt that this result was a matter of course.
"Actually, I don't have any special feelings. If I really want to express my feelings, I think since I performed normally, it is natural to achieve this result." Zhang Guan replied.
This time it was the female reporter's turn to be surprised. Often when he asked other contestants such questions, they would usually say things like "very excited" and "very lucky", and the one who said "of course" was the first one.
"What a arrogant athlete." The female reporter thought to herself. In the impression of female reporters, Chinese athletes are often very modest and reserved, while some American athletes are often loudmouthed.
The female reporter then asked: "Then what is your goal of participating in the Asian Athletics Championships this time?"
"Of course to win the championship!" Zhang Guan replied directly without thinking.
