After breakfast, coach Virgil called Carmel, Ramz and others into the hotel conference room, and then started playing videos of Zhang Guan's recent games.
"How's it going? What did you see? Did you find Zhang Guan's weakness?" Coach Virgil asked.
Carmel and Ramz looked at each other and obviously did not find what coach Virgil called "Zhang Guan's weakness."
"Coach, you'd better just say it!" Carmel said anxiously.
Coach Virgil smiled slightly, pressed the remote control, and continued: "This is the preliminary round of the 1500 meters. Carmel, the four of you have been taking the lead alternately in the front. Zhang Guan fell to the end of the team at first. Then Starting here, he used this straight line to rush to the front... "
"Look at the 1,500-meter final again. Ramzi, you accelerated at this time. Suleiman and Najim did not choose to follow up, but Zhang Guan followed up..."
When Coach Virgil said this, he raised his head and said with excitement: "You saw it! Zhang Guan likes to follow the leader or the leading group very much, even if the leader or the leading group runs faster Be quick, even if you break away from the main force, Zhang Guan will follow."
"Coach, are you saying that Zhang Guan likes to follow faster runners?" Ramzi sensitively grasped the key points.
"You're right." Coach Virgil nodded: "Zhang Guan should be very confident in his following and sprinting skills, so he uses this method. According to my observation, Zhang Guan's The essence of the running tactic is to first ensure not to lag behind the leading group during the follow-up, and then rely on strong speed and sprinting ability to overtake in the end.”
"But this kind of running requires very high physical fitness, right?" Carmel asked.
Coach Virgil nodded in acquiescence and said: "Yes, but Zhang Guan is obviously the most physically powerful athlete in the world. So in today's 800-meter race, if we want to defeat Zhang Guan, we must take advantage of his weaknesses."
"Coach, what do we need to do?" Carmel asked immediately.
"We may need to sacrifice one person." Coach Virgil said while looking at Ramz, and then continued: "We need one player to take the lead at the beginning of the game, and then use his physical strength to Leading quickly, luring Zhang Guan to follow, and greatly consuming Zhang Guan's physical strength, thus creating opportunities for other runners. However, in this case, the leading runner may not be able to finish the entire race due to excessive physical exertion. .”
Ramzi took a deep breath, and Coach Virgil looked at him and said, obviously letting himself be the victim.
That’s exactly what Coach Virgil meant. Both Carmel and Ramzi have won the 800-meter world championship. Their abilities in the 800-meter event are almost the same, but Ramzi just participated in a 1,500-meter final yesterday, and Carmel He had rested for a whole day, so Carmel was definitely better than Ramz in terms of pre-game preparation.
At the same time, Ramz has been in the leading position in yesterday's 1,500-meter final. If Ramz uses the same tactics again in today's 800-meter final, it will be easier to believe and more likely to lure Zhang Guan to catch up. Considering the above two points, Ramzi is the perfect choice as a bait player.
Although Ramzi did not want to be the bait, he knew that in order for the Bahrain team to win, he had to be the victim.
…
On the morning of December 11, in addition to the men's 200-meter semi-finals, there was also the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries, so Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren appeared on the track and field at the same time.
For Zhang Guan, the 200-meter semi-finals were like an appetizer, while Liu Feiren, who had not participated in a competition for a long time, also had a very unsatisfactory run. However, Zhang Guan still has the 200-meter final and the 800-meter final to run in the afternoon, and Liu Feiren will have to wait until tomorrow if he wants to have fun on the field.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Doha time, the men's 200-meter race officially started. Judging from the strength of the athletes, there is no doubt that Zhang Guan will win the championship. Among other players, the Japanese team's Sutsugo Shingo is the strongest player besides Zhang Guan. There should be no problem in winning a silver medal.
The bronze medal battle will begin between the national team player Yang Yao and the Japanese team player Takahira Shinji. Therefore, this 200-meter dash competition ultimately became a battle between China and Japan. In the end, Yang Yao lived up to expectations, defeating Shenshi Gao Ping by 0.1 seconds and won the bronze medal in the 200-meter race.
Then, at a young age, Zhang Guan ushered in his sixth gold medal match of this Asian Games, the men's 800m final. This is also the last individual event of the middle distance race.
Zhang Guan looked at the participating athletes around him. Several of them had competed in the previous 800-meter preliminaries or 1,500-meter race, such as Bahrain's Kamel and Ramzi, and Qatar's Suleiman. Other contestants include Kuwait's Al-Arzemi, Iran's Mohr Ehjaei, Saudi Arabia's Al Saleh and Japan's Masato Yokota.
The atmosphere before the game today was very different from yesterday. Before yesterday's 1,500-meter race, no one thought Zhang Guan would win the 1,500-meter championship. Both the players and the audience valued Zhang Guan's reputation more than his strength.
But Zhang Guan broke the Asian record of 1,500 meters in yesterday's competition, which not only surprised everyone, but also made the contestants feel deeply fearful. In today's 800-meter event, Zhang Guan suddenly became the winner. The number one favorite even overwhelms the track and field World Cup champion Carmel in terms of momentum.
The players quickly completed their preparations and took up their positions on the starting line.
"Onyourmarks... set..." The starter raised the starting gun and pulled the trigger. With a gunshot, the game officially started.
The first 100 meters are run in separate lanes, so runners don’t have to worry about competing for lanes. But from the perspective of tactical choice, if you want to occupy a better position at the back, then running slightly faster in separate lanes is a good choice.
"Look, Ramzi! Ramzi is very fast. Is he planning to take the lead again?"
Some people have noticed that Ramzi's speed is indeed faster than other players, and he did cross the lane line first, and then quickly moved to the innermost track and began to lead.
After the subsequent runners crossed the lane line, they also began to change lanes. Although there were four fewer runners in the 800-meter race than in the 1500-meter race, they were even more ferocious in the race for position. Because there are only two laps in the 800-meter race, excluding the start, strong track and sprint, the real distance to follow in the big group is only more than 400 meters, so occupying a good position becomes particularly important.
"Look, Carmel made a mistake!"
I saw a slight hesitation in Carmel's lane change, and then was blocked by Kuwaiti player Al-Alzemi. As a result, he had to follow the last position.
The audience immediately burst into exclamation. Carmel is the champion of this year's Track and Field World Cup. Before the Asian Games, it was regarded as the favorite to win the 800-meter event. Even though it suddenly emerged as a champion, it still did not affect everyone's continued optimism about Carmel. Many People still feel that Carmel will win the final championship.
However, this high-profile player made a mistake at the beginning of the game and was stuck in the last position.
At the end of the 200 meters, the athletes all completed the lane change. At this time, the athletes' physical strength was still relatively sufficient and they were following each other more closely. Then the athletes entered the curve. Just when entering the corner, Ramzi, who was in the lead, began to speed up.
"Ramzi is speeding up again! Is he still using the same tactics as yesterday, leading all the way to the finish line?"
Everyone present thought of Ramz yesterday. In yesterday's 1500-meter final, Ramz took the lead from the beginning and used a higher speed throughout the process. Judging from the results, Ramz's tactics yesterday It was very successful. He broke the Asian record and set a personal best. If Zhang Guan hadn't suddenly appeared, Ramz's tactics yesterday could even be regarded as a textbook case of mid-range running.
In yesterday's 1500-meter race, after Ramzi increased his speed, none of the runners could keep up. They thought Ramzi was using a gambling running method, so in the final sprint, Ramzi even led the third place. Najim was twenty meters away. With such a big gap, it was already too late to catch up. Only Zhang Guan followed Ramzi closely, and the final game became a contest between Zhang Guan and Ramzi. The others, such as Suleiman, Najim and others, even if they still had some energy left, could only watch. in a hurry.
Therefore, when Ramz increased his speed again in today's 800-meter final, the competitors, coaches from various countries, and the audience all thought that Ramz was using the same tactics as yesterday.
"Catch up. You can't make yesterday's mistake today. Yesterday, you didn't follow Ramzi all the time, so Ramzi pulled you too far away." Suleiman, who participated in yesterday's 1,500-meter final, was the first to make the decision. In response, he increased his speed and caught up with Ramzi.
Later, other players also made the same choice. Only Carmel, who was ranked last, only slightly increased his speed and seemed to be reluctant to follow.
But Carmel is the last athlete in line, and obviously no one in the front will pay attention to Carmel's movements.
"The tactic was successful! It seems that not only Zhang Guan, but also other players have taken the bait!" Although coach Virgil was very excited at this time, he was extremely nervous in his heart. He was worried that his intentions would be revealed by others. The coach saw through it.
