Two figures crossed the finish line at the same time.
"Who crosses the line first?"
"It was too fast, I didn't even see it clearly!"
The two could be said to be neck and neck, and it was difficult to tell with the naked eye who crossed the line first at that moment. Even the spectators in the main stand frowned, and the spectators in other positions could not see clearly.
The referee is checking the game video. There is equipment at the end point that will expose the moment of crossing the line with an accuracy of one thousandth of a second to form an image to determine who is faster.
"Who will cross the line first? Is it Asahara-kun?" Takano Susumu looked anxiously at the judges at the finish line and said softly.
Coach Keiwa Kobayashi couldn't confirm who crossed the line first. He secretly glanced at Director Yu not far away, only to find an imperceptible smile on Director Yu's face.
"Is he laughing? Why is he laughing? Does he think Zhang Guan is the first to cross the line? The two are obviously neck and neck. Even their crossing movements are at the same time. From our perspective, it is impossible to see clearly who crosses the line first. ." Kobayashi Jinghe didn't know why. Then he found that Director Yu was looking at the athletes waiting for the results at the finish line. Kobayashi Jinghe followed Director Yu's eyes and suddenly his face changed drastically.
"No, that's it! We're probably going to lose!" Xiaolin Jinghe glanced at Director Yu again. He finally knew why Director Yu was laughing. He already had a premonition that something was wrong.
At the finish line, Zhang Guan and Nobuharu Asahara were not far away. From the perspective of the guide and Kobayashi Keiwa, the two happened to be lined up in a row, and the height difference between them was clearly visible.
Nobuharu Asahara's official height is 1.79 meters, but in fact this number is the height after wearing shoes. His actual height is less than 1.79 meters, while Zhang Guan's height of 1.89 meters is the actual physical examination height, with shoes on. The height is about 1.92 to 1.93 meters, and the height difference of 14 centimeters is very obvious.
There is actually not much difference in the body proportions of yellow people. With the same body proportions, a taller body naturally means longer and larger limbs. In other words, the 14 cm height difference between the two people will be divided into upper limbs and lower limbs. , so in the same movement of leaning forward to cross the line, the distance that a tall person's head can reach will definitely be farther than that of a short person. The tall person will definitely touch the finish line first. This is like typing on the keyboard with your index finger and middle finger. The middle finger can definitely press a button further than the index finger.
Director Yu realized this when he saw the height difference between the two. Therefore, Director Yu could basically conclude that Zhang Guan must be the first to touch the finish line.
Immediately afterwards, the referee at the finish line made a decision, and Zhang Guan crossed the line first.
"We win! We win! We win!"
Chen Jian, Shen Bao and Yang Yao rushed towards Zhang Guan at the finish line.
38.79 seconds, although still far from the Asian record, has broken the national record of 38.81 seconds set in 1995.
Shen Bao looked at these numbers and couldn't help crying for a moment.
However, Shen burst into tears very happily, really happy!
"Zhang Guan! Thank you! Thank you!" Shen Bao looked very excited.
Zhang Guan was a little surprised as to why Shen Bao was so excited. Zhang Guan didn’t know that it was Shen Bao’s lifelong dream to represent the national team at the top of the podium. From the first day Shen Bao started track and field training, he had imagined that one day he would be able to wear the national team jersey. wearing jersey, standing on the podium of international competitions, watching the national flag slowly rise to the top amid the playing of the national anthem.
For more than ten years, Shen Bao has been training hard, but as time goes by and as he grows older, he gradually feels that his dream is getting further and further away. He feels the cruelty of reality, and he even despairs countless times. Want to give up.
But today, his dream came true, and he could finally stand on the podium that he had dreamed of. The sudden happiness made this strong man in the field unable to suppress his heart.
So, he cried, and it wasn't just because of excitement! It’s more than ten years of hard work, more than ten years of continuous efforts, more than ten years of training in spite of the cold and heat, and more than ten years of hardships that have finally come to fruition at this moment.
Shen Bao suddenly felt that he was very lucky because he had the best teammates and because he met Zhang Guan. In China, there are too many athletes who endure silently, pay silently, and work hard silently, but most of them will never see the day when the fruits of their dreams grow.
A new national record, his name is destined to be remembered, and their names are destined to be remembered!
…
Keikazu Kobayashi stood there with a disappointed look on his face. This time the Japanese team went to the Asian Track and Field Championships with a lineup from the World Championships. He thought the Japanese team could sweep Asia in the sprint events, but he didn't expect that they lost two of the best in the sprint event. Important gold medal.
"We lost, this time we lost!" At this time, coach Kobayashi Keikazu seemed to have suddenly aged ten years. He looked at Nobuharu Asahara, who was breathing heavily at the finish line, and knew that this athlete of the golden generation of Japanese sprinters He had tried his best, and the injured Sutsugo Shingo could only rely on jumping forward on one foot. Kobayashi Keikazu knew that this failure could not be blamed on his players for not working hard.
"It's him!" Kobayashi Keiwa stared at Zhang Guan. He knew that the failure of Japan's sprint was due to this athlete who suddenly appeared.
"He is only seventeen years old!" Coach Keikazu Kobayashi sighed and said with a look of despair: "The era of Japan dominating Asian sprints is over."
Next to him, Susumu Takano felt the negative emotions of Kobayashi Keikazu, and he immediately said: "Coach, please don't be discouraged! This is just an accident. Only one player in the Chinese team, Zhang Guan, performed well, and their other players were not as good as Ours, we have an advantage overall.”
"You don't understand." Kobayashi Keikazu shook his head and continued: "China is different from us. Once the Chinese find that it is easy to get benefits in a certain field, they will rush to it and even use administrative means to support it. In the shortest time, It develops to the extreme within a short period of time. Just like sprint events, once they achieve a very good result, they will immediately increase capital investment and policy support. Under this nationwide system, a large number of "Zhang Guan" will soon emerge. , this method is unstoppable by any country in the world. Think about China’s diving, shooting, weightlifting and table tennis are all products of this national system. China is so huge that as long as there is investment, they can easily Select a group of the best athletes.”
Takano Jin thought for a while and immediately said with disdain: "Coach, the national system may not be successful. The Chinese have been playing football for so many years, and it is still not like that. If last year's World Cup was not held in Japan, I am afraid that the Chinese people would not be able to succeed." There is no chance to participate. And since the end of the World Cup, their investment has become higher and higher, but their performance has become worse and worse."
"I just said that the Chinese will flock to a certain field only if they find it is easy to get benefits. Football is not an easy project to achieve results. It requires long-term planning of more than ten years or even decades, and cultivating a football player Athletes also need to spend a lot of time and money, not to mention that team sports are not just about cultivating one or two outstanding athletes. The larger the team sports, the more they need a mass base and a social atmosphere. But sprint events The difference is that running is a natural skill for human beings. This sport does not require tacit understanding, cooperation, training equipment, or even a mass base and social atmosphere. Just one person can dominate the world." Kobayashi Keikazu said suddenly. He paused, looked into the distance, and then said: "The threshold for entering the sprint event is too low. I believe there will be many buried geniuses among the people..."
…
Zhang Guan was rewarded with one skill point for breaking the national record. After the award ceremony, he should also be awarded two skill points for the honor of being the Asian champion. This made Zhang Guan very satisfied and even a little complacent. He spent one skill point on "Curve Sprint" and earned three skill points back. This transaction was worth it, and Zhang Guan was very proud.
"Come on, Zhang Guan, let's go around the field!" Chen Jian handed the national flag to Zhang Guan.
Suddenly, Zhang Guan felt some pain in his calves. He twisted the joints involuntarily and found that they were not injured.
"Was the exercise just now too intense? The muscles and joints may have been overloaded." Zhang Guan subconsciously looked at Sutsugo Shingo, who was being held by two people in the distance, and couldn't help feeling nervous.
After all, Zhang Guan went to college with his sports talents, so he also took courses related to kinesiology in college. He knew that when people perform high-explosive exercises, the muscles, joints and various tissues in the body will bear a huge load. If the pressure lasts for a long time, stress damage will definitely occur. In the sport of sprinting, if important tissues such as the Achilles tendon are not strengthened enough, they are likely to rupture violently.
"My body is not strong enough yet. I can't use the running method like today anymore, otherwise I will have to get injured. My current body cannot adapt to high-intensity and high-explosive exercise. I must strengthen physical exercise when I return, and first strengthen my muscles." Just grow up. By the way, the body-building skill seems to be able to strengthen the body, so it should have some effect." Zhang Guan thought to himself.
…
Shingo Suetsugu's injury was serious, and the Japanese team did not trust the medical technology of the Philippines, so they bought a ticket for Shingo Suetsugu to return to Japan that afternoon, so that Shingo Suetsugu could rush back to Japan for examination and treatment.
Suetsugu Shingo's injury was originally a fatigue injury. He participated in the World Athletics Championships and Asian Athletics Championships continuously. Suetsugu Shingo did not get enough rest, and he fought fiercely in the contest with Zhang Guan, so he was injured. Originally, Sutsugo Shingo only needed to practice and recover slowly, but he participated in the 4x100m final with an injury and tried his best to compete with Shen Bao, which aggravated the previous injury.
Although Sutsugo Shingo retired due to injury, the game still needs to go on. Later, in the men's 200-meter final, due to injury, only seven people participated. The gold medal in the relay race boosted Yang Yao's morale, and he gave full play to his strength, successfully defeated Gaoping Shinshi, and won another gold medal.
This time at the Asian Athletics Championships, the national team won a complete victory. The men's 100-meter dash event also achieved a historic breakthrough, standing at the pinnacle of Asia.
For Zhang Guan, this is just the beginning.
A perfect start…
