Chapter 30: The relay race begins

Views:

"Current sprinting, increase the speed in the curve. I don't know how much it can be improved, and whether I can win the 4x100m championship."

Zhang Guan looked at the newly learned skills in the skill bar, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Synthesizing physical fitness skills requires 6 skill points. Zhang Guan knows that it is impossible to obtain 6 skill points in a short time. It requires more accumulation of competitions. At least in this Asian Track and Field Championships, it is impossible to accumulate 6 skill points. Skill points.

So Zhang Guan decided to learn the skill of sprinting in corners to increase his speed in corners. The increase in curve speed can improve the performance of 4x100 meters. Zhang Guan hopes to win the Asian championship of 4x100 meters, so he can get two skill points. If he can break another record by the way, he can get another skill point. .

Investing in one skill point, you can get a new skill, and you can also get at least two skill points, and maybe even more. This deal is still a good deal.

Moreover, in Zhang Guan's future plan, he must participate in the 200-meter sprint event, not only for honor, but also to have more ways to obtain skill points. Therefore, it is necessary to learn curve sprint skills.

As for the opponent, Zhang Guan also knows something about it. Although Shingo Sutsugo is injured, the Japanese team is still the strongest team. After all, the Japanese team players have strong overall strength and are among the top players in Asia in the four positions.

In addition, the Saudi Arabian team also showed strong strength in the preliminary round. Two of their athletes entered the 100-meter final. They are the strongest team outside the Chinese team and the Japanese team and have the possibility of hitting the gold medal.

In addition, there are the old and powerful Kazakhstan team, the Middle East sports powerhouse Qatar team and the Iranian team, all of which are aiming for medals.

It is worth mentioning that the Thai team also entered the finals. This Thai team is very young and was not favored by others before the game. They thought they were here to make a splash, but in the preliminary round they finished fourth overall, which is impressive.

But Zhang Guan knew that this Thai team defeated the Japanese team at the Doha Asian Games three years later and won the championship in the men's 4x100m event.

Team projects often have a high level of unknowns, and the same is true for the 4x100m project. In this event, even if the four fastest people in the world form a team, they may not win. Each player's on-the-spot state, the timing of the run-up before handing over the baton, the speed of handing over the baton, etc. will all affect the final result of the game. Therefore, in the 4x100m race at the Olympics or World Championships, if Asia can defeat European and American countries and win a medal, it depends not only on strength, but also on outstanding luck.

Similarly, if you want to break the 4x100m record, you can't just rely on strength, you also need luck. The current national record for this event is still 38.81 seconds set in Gothenburg in 1995. Zhang Guan's goal this time is to break this record. As for the Asian record, it is too far away. Although the ability of Zhang Guan is outstanding, the strength of the other three people is not enough to support the national team to break the Asian record.

Think about the four people who will break the Asian record for the national team in the future. Su Bingtian is 9.99 seconds for 100 meters, Zhang Peimeng is 10 seconds for 100 meters, and Xie Zhenye is the national record holder for 200 meters. The youngest Mo Youxue reached the Olympic A standard at the age of 17. Winning the first World Junior Championship for the country, the future is unlimited. It was such a powerful combination that finally broke the Asian record. In the current national team, except for Zhang Guan, the fastest Chen Jiancai ran 10.17 seconds, which is impossible to break the Asian record.

"Let's be the champion. I'll be satisfied if I win the championship." Zhang Guan thought in his heart.

The gun sounds and the game begins!

The competition for the first player is extremely fierce. Facing the veteran Japanese player Hiroshi Tsuchie, Chen Jian did not get any benefits, and fortunately he did not fall behind.

Hiroshi Tsuchie is the oldest of the four members of the Japanese team. If there are no accidents, he will retire after the Athens Olympics next year. But after all, they were the golden generation of Japanese sprinters back then. Although they were past their peak, their speed was still similar to that of Chen Jian who was at his peak.

The person in charge of the second leg of the Japanese team was Shingo Suetsugu. He was originally going to run the fourth leg, but due to injury, he switched with Nobuharu Asahara and switched to the second leg, which has the shortest distance.

Shingo Suetsugu was the gold medal winner in the 200-meter dash at the Asian Games last year. In June this year, he broke the Asian record for the men's 200-meter dash. He can run first or third. At the same time, he is also the current member of the Japanese team. The strongest and most in-form player will of course be allowed to run the last leg, but due to injury, he can only run the second leg.

Shen Bao, who was also responsible for the second baton, looked at the left leg of Shingo Sutsu who was not far away. He secretly thought that Shingo Sutsu was injured. If he played with the injury, he would definitely choose a conservative running method, and he might be able to win. he. Thinking of the possibility of defeating Sutsu Shenwu, Shen Bao couldn't help but smile.

Shen Bao didn't notice that Su Xu Shen Wu also glanced at Shen Bao, and Shen Bao's smile happened to fall into Su Xu Shen Wu's eyes.

"What does this Chinese guy mean by laughing? Do you think I can't outrun him because I'm injured? Does he look down on me like that? Who is he, a player who can't even make it to the A-level in the Olympics? I, Shenwu, will actually be looked down upon by him! I But the number one in Asia! He is looked down upon by this Chinese! This shame will never be tolerated! I will let you know during the game, even if I am injured, I will still be faster than you... "

At the moment when the second baton was handed over, everyone was staring at Suetsugu Shingo. Nowadays, everyone only knows that Sutsu Shingo is injured, but they don't know the extent of the injury. Through the official match status of Sutsu Shingo, we can intuitively judge the severity of Sutsu Shingo's injury.

The entire process of baton handover, run-up, handover, and acceleration on the straight is done in one go. It looks very smooth. However, as the saying goes, laymen watch the fun and insiders watch the door. There are many insiders watching in the field. They have already seen that in the corner approach area Shingo's left leg did not dare to exert force at all. On the surface, Shingo seemed to have no problem, but in fact, the injury was definitely not optimistic. It is conservatively estimated that it is impossible to participate in the 200-meter sprint event in the afternoon.

But what is surprising is that after entering the straight, Sutsugo Shingo is still the fastest. Especially near the end of the straight, the speed is obviously faster than Shen Bao.

Susu Shengo's best 100-meter time was 10.03 seconds just last month, while Shen Bao will set a personal best time of 10.23 seconds next year. There is a gap of 0.2 seconds between the two, which is simply a lag in the 100-meter race. Irreversible advantages.

But coaches Keikazu Kobayashi and Susumu Takano frowned.

"How can he run so fast! Can he run like this? Can his Achilles tendon hold up?" The two of them thought in unison.

During high-speed sports, even when running in a straight line, the Achilles tendon will be under tremendous pressure. Shingo Sutsutsu's Achilles tendon was injured and he should have run more conservatively. Coach Kobayashi Keikazu also asked Shingo Sutsutsu not to exert too much force before the game, but Shingo Sutsutsu was stimulated by Shen Bao before taking over the baton. , obviously did not do what the coach asked.

"I, Shingo Suetsugu, will never be a burden to the Japanese team!" Shingo Suetsugu thought as he ran into the receiving area and handed the baton to Shinji Takahira, who was third.

Then, Sutsu Shingo gradually slowed down and stopped slowly, but when he stood still, he felt a sharp pain in his left leg. He swayed and almost fell to the ground. He knew that his injuries had worsened again.

The human body is like this. You may not feel pain when you are highly stressed or highly concentrated, but once you stop, the pain will immediately appear and feel more intense.

Sutsugo Shingo was already playing with an injury. If he had run more conservatively, it would not have caused too much damage to the injury. But just now he tried his best to maintain high explosive power, which undoubtedly caused an injury to the Achilles tendon. Injury.

Seeing Suetsugu Shingo like this, Kobayashi Keikazu suddenly felt bad, but the coaches from other countries felt very happy. The injury shown by Suetsugu Shingo made it impossible for him to participate in the afternoon 200-meter dash. Without one of his strongest opponents, he had one more chance.

The third player of the Japanese team is Shinji Takahira.

Shinji Takahira is a young player, only 19 years old this year, but he is a player with very comprehensive skills.

Sprinters generally take care of two events. For example, most sprinters take care of both the 100 meters and the 200 meters. The explosive power requirements of these two events are similar. Athletes who can run 100 meters can basically run 200 meters; taking care of the 200 meters. There are far fewer athletes in the 400-meter and 400-meter races, and basically those who are stronger in the 400-meter will also run the 200-meter, such as the legendary American sprinter Michael Johnson.

But very few athletes take care of the three events of 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters at the same time, because technically speaking, 100 meters and 400 meters require completely different sprinting techniques and movement rhythms, and the two are completely incompatible.

Shinji Takahira is one of these "very few". He takes into account the three events of 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, and has achieved good results in some youth events in Japan and Asia.

Gaoping Shenshi seems to have comprehensive skills, as if he is "all-powerful", but in high-level competitions, "all-powerful" often means "all-incompetent", so even though Gaoping Shenshi has outstanding talents, it is more difficult than focusing on 200 In terms of meter sprinter Yang Yao, Gao Ping Shenshi is still a little behind. Running down a curve, Susu Shingo gained the lead at the cost of a leg, but was ruined by Takahira Shinji. Yang Yao successfully narrowed the gap between the two teams.

Since the starting points are different, when the gap between the teams is very small, it is difficult for ordinary spectators to judge who is really leading before entering the straight track. However, observing who enters the handover area first is a good way to judge who is leading. method.

The Japanese team still led with a slight advantage and entered the baton handover area first.

The Chinese team and the Saudi Arabian team entered the handover zone almost at the same time.

The fourth player, who determines the final victory, has already started running.

The fourth battalion of the Saudi Arabian team is still the small black man Habeib.

The fourth player of the Japanese team is veteran Nobuharu Asahara.

The fourth player of the Chinese team is Zhang Guan.

The final battle is about to begin...
