Director Yu's face looked as usual, but he was extremely nervous.
With an athlete of Zhang Guan's level, it is no problem to get a medal in the 4x100 meters, but now Director Yu is not satisfied with just a medal. The injury of Shenwu Susu gave Director Yu hope of winning the gold medal.
But even if Shingo Sutsugo is injured, the Japanese team is still strong. Chen Jian, who was at his peak, barely managed to tie with the old and frail Kanyu Tsuchie, but Shen Bao still couldn't outrun the injured Sutsugo Shingo. Although Yang Yao regained some face with Gaoping Shinshi, he failed in the third place. The handover between the baton and the fourth baton still makes Director Yu worried.
"Zhang Guan can't run around corners, and the gap will widen again!" Director Yu thought helplessly.
This idea also exists in the minds of Habeibei and Nobuharu Asahara.
Physical energy distribution is a very important skill for high-level sprinters. As a fourth-level athlete, you will definitely use your physical energy and energy on the final straight. The straight distance of a standard track is 80 meters, and this 80 meters is also where the fourth athlete really exerts his strength.
But under the current situation, neither Nobuharu Asahara nor Habeibei is Zhang Guan's opponent in the straight race. If you leave your physical fitness in the last 80 meters, it will be equivalent to using your weakness to challenge Zhang Guan's strength. It is too unfair. What a deal. Therefore, in their game plans, they will allocate more physical strength in the corners and gain more speed in the corners.
Everyone thinks that Zhang Guan cannot run in corners, and the speed of the curves will be much slower than the normal speed. Therefore, when facing Zhang Guan, if he allocates part of his physical strength and energy to the curves, he will definitely be able to gain more advantages, even if Just gaining 0.1 seconds more time is worth every penny.
So when Nobuharu Asahara took over, he started running with all his strength, accumulating advantages as much as possible. Because the advantages accumulated in the corners must be paid back in the straight. Whether the Japanese team can win the championship depends on whether all the advantages accumulated in the previous are enough to "repay the debt" on the final 80-meter straight.
Director Yu, who was watching the game from a distance, frowned. He clearly felt the difference in the rhythm of Nobuharu Asahara's movements, and he instantly understood the Japanese team's intentions. He speculated that the Saudi Arabian team, which also has ambitions to compete for the championship, would also adopt this strategy.
Sure enough, Habebe of the Saudi Arabian team was doing the same thing as the Japanese team and started accelerating desperately in the corner area.
"In the preliminary round, the Saudi Arabian team did not know that Zhang Guan could not drive around corners, so on the straight, Zhang Guan completed the overtake of Habeib. Although he won, it was thrilling. But now Zhang Guan's weakness has been As Saudi Arabia knows, Habeib is also faster in the corners. Can we only win a third place?" Director Yu clenched his fists in fear.
The next moment, he discovered that Zhang Guan's speed in the curve was not as slow as expected.
"Huh? To be able to achieve such speed in the curve should not be weaker than the top players in the country!" Director Yu stared at Zhang Guan with his eyes widened. He was not only happy but also incredulous.
At this time, Zhang Guan's cornering skills were still very poor. His cornering speed was not as good as Nobuharu Asahara, nor as good as Yang Yao, who was the previous driver, but he was already at the top level in the country.
The key to running a curve is actually to overcome the influence of centrifugal force. The faster the speed in the curve, the greater the influence of centrifugal force. It requires more skills and a stronger body to overcome the centrifugal force and maintain body balance. Such as running to the left, leaning to the left, increasing the arm swing on the outside, turning the soles of the feet inward, etc. are the most basic technical movements for running corners. Athletes gradually master and adapt to these technical movements through extensive training. , and make corresponding adjustments according to your own physical condition and technical characteristics. And all of this must be done through a lot of training and continuous accumulation.
Instructor Yu stared at the Mercedes-Benz Zhang Guan carefully. Zhang Guan obviously had not mastered the above-mentioned cornering skills at all, and his movements were no different from those of ordinary beginners. However, this kind of unprofessional movement was able to Keep your body balanced and advance through the curve at a faster speed.
"How did he do it? Did he rely entirely on his body to resist centrifugal force? No, no matter how good your physical condition is, you can't use it like this. What if you get injured." There was a trace of worry in Director Yu's eyes, but fortunately The short curve is coming to an end, and Zhang Guan is about to reach the final straight area.
…
It is true that Zhang Guan has not mastered the cornering skills, but the "curve sprint" skill can make up for some technical deficiencies. Although it is only the most basic skill, it allows Zhang Guan to greatly increase his speed in corners. Of course, this so-called "large amplitude" is only calculated in tenths of a second. However, since I don’t have any cornering skills, it’s still possible to just run for a short distance, but definitely not if it’s a long curve.
Athletes in the outer lane will appear relatively forward, while those in the inner lane will appear relatively behind. But as soon as they enter the final straight, it will be clear who is ahead and who is behind.
"Enter the straight! The leader is Japanese team Nobuharu Asahara!"
Waves of cheers erupted from the stands, and individual Japanese spectators began to wave plaster flags.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guan and Habeib entered the straight at almost the same time, and the same as in the preliminary round, Habeib still had a slight lead.
"How could this happen? Just like in the preliminary round, why are we only so far ahead?" Habeibei couldn't help feeling panicked.
Habeib obviously increased his speed in the corners, so he thought he should be a little more ahead. But judging from the current situation, it is the same as the lead in the preliminary round, so he will definitely lose in the next straight. .
"If we don't get a big lead, this game is over! We lose!" As this thought flashed through Habeibei's mind, Zhang Guan also surpassed him.
Asahara Xuanji also noticed this, but the more experienced Asahara Xuanji was not as panicked as Habeibei.
"It doesn't seem like there is a big gap. It seems that the strategy failed. In this case, let's have another head-to-head competition!" Asahara Nobuharu simply stopped thinking about it and tried his best to win.
Nobuharu Asahara has been very low-key in the past year or so, but this does not mean that Nobuharu Asahara has no strength. Last year, Nobuharu Asahara also ran a 100-meter time of 10.02 seconds. This year, although he is one year older, his level is not the same. Falling down, running into the Olympic A mark seems to be a common occurrence.
Although Asahara Xuanji realizes that he may not be able to match Zhang Guan in terms of speed, competitive competition is not an absolute thing, and it is not that the world record holder has never lost the game, not to mention that he still has some advantages in his hands, which gives him a Squandered capital.
He is the golden generation of Japanese sprinters. He is not afraid of challenges, even if the challenger is unprecedentedly powerful!
Asahara Nobuharu is very fast!
If Zhang Guan wants to win, he has to go faster!
Zhang Guan needs a higher frequency of steps, a more powerful kick, and a more rhythmic arm swing...
Then he did everything he needed to get faster.
At this moment, Zhang Guan was running very hard. Even in the men's 100-meter final not long ago, he was not running so hard.
Time is passing rapidly, but Asahara Xuanji feels that it is so long. He has already felt that the advantage he holds in his hand is disappearing quickly, faster than the passage of time!
"His speed is really fast. I'm afraid this advantage won't be enough to support the finish line! The finish line is already so close, I have to hold on!" Nobuharu Asahara looked at the finishing line that was getting closer and closer, with hope in his heart.
Ten meters before the finish line, Nobuharu Asahara was still in the lead.
At this moment, Director Yu and Coach Keiwa Kobayashi who were watching from the sidelines clenched their fists and held their breaths. They stared at the track with their eyes wide open, fearing that they would miss the moment of crossing the line in the blink of an eye.
The 4x100m event has special meaning for them because they are the coaches of their respective national teams. For them, they not only need to teach an excellent athlete, but also need to train an excellent whole. The team's victory is the most important reflection of the value of their work.
On the track, Chen Jian, who was in the handover area of the second leg, looked at the other end, and his body started to tremble nervously. Next to him, Japanese player Hiroyuki Tsuchie, who was also the first player, closed his mouth tightly, as if his heart would jump out at the next moment.
In the third baton handover area, Shen Bao shouted like a roar, but even he didn't know what he was shouting. This was an impulse released by his body's instinct. He was too nervous. Perhaps only shouting could release that kind of emotion. Feel. As for Japan's second best player Sutsugo Shingo, he didn't say anything. He watched Asahara Nobuharu being chased by Zhang Guan, and suddenly felt a little sad. There was a trace of regret in his heart. He felt that this time the Japanese team might lose. , and once the Japanese team loses, it will become meaningless for him to fight at the cost of an injured leg.
In the fourth leg handover area, Yang Yao worked hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. He still had to participate in the 200-meter dash finals and was tasked with winning medals, so he had to restrain himself. But the Japanese player Shinji Takahira standing next to him shouted at the top of his lungs: "Senior, come on!"
But Nobuharu Asahara on the field could no longer hear the shouts of Shinji Takahira. At such a tense moment, how could Nobuharu Asahara still be able to distinguish what others were shouting, even if the shouts around him were deafening, for Nobuharu Asahara It turned a deaf ear to him, he only had the end in his eyes, the end that was right in front of him.
"We're finally reaching the finish line!" Chaohara Xuanzhi felt excited at the same time, but found that Zhang Guan was already keeping pace with him.
"He's still catching up!" Chaohara Xuanzhi had a stern look in his eyes, and then his upper body leaned forward sharply.
…
"I finally caught up! This Asahara Nobuharu is really amazing. He can still run so fast at the age of 31!" Zhang Guan could see clearly from the corner of his eye that the two of them were running neck and neck, and the finish line was right in front of him. Then he and Asahara Xuanzhi chose the same action and leaned forward sharply with his upper body.
…
The two went hand in hand and made the finishing move at the same time.
Cross the line!
