Huangsi Training Base is the venue for the last stop of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships.
In the athletes' rest area, Zhang Guan had already started to warm up, and it was his turn to take the field next. This was also his first time participating in an indoor track and field competition.
As Asia's No. 1 flying man, Zhang Guan has naturally attracted everyone's attention. Except for a few people such as Shen Bao and Yang Yao, other athletes are not familiar with Zhang Guan. Everyone is also looking forward to the performance of Asia's No. 1 flying man in the 60-meter event. Performance.
"Zhang Guan, you can play now. Come on!" The coach accompanying the team patted Zhang Guan on the shoulder and encouraged Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan stood up and was about to get on the track when he spotted a familiar figure not far away.
"This is Liu Feiren who hurdles!" Zhang Guan immediately recognized this familiar person, and it happened that Liu Feiren's eyes also caught Zhang Guan.
Liu Feiren came to participate in the 60-meter hurdles event. Since he has not participated in the competition for a winter, athletes may lose their sense of the game. Therefore, even a big name in track and field like Liu Feiren will choose to participate in one or two indoor races to warm up and recover. Get a feel for the game.
This is also the first meeting between Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren.
Liu Feiren had seen Zhang Guan in the newspaper and knew that this young big man had broken the Asian 100-meter record. Realizing that Zhang Guan was looking at him, Liu Feiren smiled at Zhang Guan and put his hands together to make a cheering gesture. However, he did not expect that Zhang Guan turned around, took out a digital camera from the backpack behind him, and trotted over.
While Liu Feiren was stunned, Zhang Guan had already run up to Liu Feiren.
"Brother Liu, hello, I'm Zhang Guan." Zhang Guan held Liu Feiren's hand.
Zhang Guan suddenly ran over, making Liu Feiren seem a little at a loss. Zhang Guan was clearly going to play, but he suddenly came to shake hands with him. Liu Feiren had never seen this situation before. He had no choice but to say quickly: "Hello, hello..."
"Brother Liu, let's take a picture!" Zhang Guanque picked up the digital camera, pointed the backhand lens at 45 degrees at himself and Liu Feiren, and took a selfie.
Although mobile phones in this era already have camera functions, cameras such as the Nokia 7250 only have 100,000 pixels, and better cameras such as the Motorcycle E365 only have 300,000 pixels. The results taken are simply terrible. Fortunately, the technology of digital cameras has matured. Zhang Guan bought the IXUS400 digital camera during the Spring Festival. Although it is only entry-level, its 4 million pixels are already very good in this era.
"Brother Liu, it's time for me to play. Let's talk later!" Zhang Guan said, trotting back all the way and onto the track.
Liu Feiren's eyes were illuminated by several bright spots in the flashlight. Before he could realize what was going on, he saw Zhang Guan had already run to the track.
"What happened? This Zhang Guan came to take a picture with me and then went back..." Liu Feiren looked confused, shrugged innocently, and retreated to the rest area.
…
When Zhang Guan was standing on the track, the system popped up a prompt: "Competition detected. Due to the low level of the competition, the rewards are attenuated."
"Reward decay? What do you mean? No reward or less reward?" Several questions suddenly popped up in Zhang Guan's mind, but he knew that these questions might require him to prove the results during the game.
"Everyone is in position, ready..."
With the starter's gunshot, Zhang Guan rushed out of the starting line.
There was no strong player in the group, so Zhang Guan rushed to the first place in an instant.
The athletes competing with Zhang Guan suddenly felt a lot of pressure. After running only twenty meters, they were firmly left behind by Zhang Guan. The key was that Zhang Guan was very fast, and the gap between them became wider and wider.
"So fast!"
"It's just the preliminaries, there's no need to work so hard!"
"Is this the speed of Asia's number one flying man? I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in my life."
"Is he trying his best? Why? Want to give other athletes a blow?"
Athletes and coaches on the field have different ideas.
"He seems to be getting faster again!" Shen Bao looked at Zhang Guan on the track. Shen Bao had won the 60-meter championship in the first three indoor races. Originally, he planned to win all four championships, but Zhang Guan's performance At such a speed, Shen Bao knew he could only compete for second place.
It has been five months since last year's Asian Track and Field Championships. Zhang Guan has been training in the past five months, and his own level has improved. Moreover, Zhang Guan is still a beginner, so the improvement will naturally be relatively large. In addition, the physical fitness skills have improved Zhang Guan's physical fitness, which is also perfectly reflected in his performance on the track.
There is no suspense for an athlete of Zhang Guan's level to participate in the preliminary round. What everyone cares about is Zhang Guan's performance and final results. From the current point of view, Zhang Guan is in very good condition, so the next suspense is only the results.
Before the finish line, Zhang Guan began to control the speed and finally crossed the line in 6.58 seconds.
"6 seconds 58! National record! Broke the national record of 60 meters!" Someone shouted, and everyone reacted. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Guan set a national record.
"It feels like he broke the record so easily. He broke the national record in just one run. He deserves to be the number one flyer in Asia!" Hearing someone next to him say this, Shen Bao frowned because he knew that Zhang Guan had become stronger again. .
There was applause in the stadium, which was a tribute to the winner. If it were an ordinary victory, it might not receive so much praise, but breaking the national record is definitely something worthy of everyone's applause.
But Zhang Guan stood at the finish line, with no joy on his face.
"No reward? There is no reward!" There were still three skill points in the system, which made Zhang Guan a little disappointed.
"Originally, breaking the national record was rewarded with a skill point, but this time there was no reward. Is this the so-called 'reward decay'? Has this skill point been reduced?" Zhang Guan thought to himself.
In the end, Zhang Guan decided to do another experiment in the next game.
The pace of the indoor track and field championships is very fast. After the last competition, there is not much preparation for the next one. There is no need to introduce the athletes. They stand at the starting position and are ready to give the order. The interval between each other will not exceed three minutes. The game where Zhang Guan broke the national record took a little time, but the pace of other games was still very fast.
After taking a rest, Zhang Guan ushered in the finals soon after.
There are only two stages of the 60-meter event in the National Indoor Track and Field Championships, the preliminary and final stages, because there are relatively few athletes participating. Due to the location of this event, many athletes from western, southwestern and southern provinces did not come to participate.
This situation is also very common in China. For example, the first two stops of the National Track and Field Grand Prix are basically held in the southwestern provinces. Athletes from the eastern provinces need to cross more than half of China to participate, not to mention spending a lot of transportation expenses. The back and forth time will also affect the training status and competition status, so athletes from the eastern provinces will give up the first two races. On the contrary, in competitions held in eastern cities, athletes living in the west may not participate. Of course, there are exceptions. Athletes from all over the country are more motivated to participate in some major events or trials for international events.
The final of the 60-meter dash attracted much attention. Zhang Guan broke the national record of 60 meters. This is not surprising to everyone. Asia's number one sprinter is naturally capable of breaking the national record. The key is that everyone can see that Zhang Guan is in very good condition today, and everyone expects Zhang Guan to achieve better results.
As the gunshot rang out, the athletes started to start one after another, but some athletes jumped the gun, so the game was suspended and the start was restarted.
After the second start, no one jumped the gun again this time, and the starting strategies of the athletes, including Zhang Guan, also tended to be conservative, which greatly reduced the enjoyment of the start.
However, Zhang Guan's strength still had an overwhelming advantage. Thirty meters later, Zhang Guan had already confirmed his leading position.
Shen Bao looked at Zhang Guan's tall back. He could deeply feel that Zhang Guan now had the demeanor of a general, calm, confident and calm.
"He has become more mature! I really don't know how far he can go, but now I am afraid I am no longer qualified to fight alongside him..." Shen Bao couldn't help but recall the moment when he won the Asian Track and Field Relay Championship in 2016.
Zhang Guan was the first to cross the finish line. This time he was faster than in the preliminary round.
"He was faster than in the preliminary round. He must have broken the national record again." said a coach who was watching the game.
"Breaking the national record twice in one morning, darling! This is awesome!" another person said.
"The results are out, 6 seconds 50!"
“So much faster than in the preliminary round!”
"The speed increased by 0.08 seconds compared with the preliminary round. Zhang Guan must have had reservations during the preliminary round."
"Record-breaking! It's an Asian record!"
"Didn't I just break the national record? How come I broke the Asian record again? This doesn't allow other people to live!"
The Asian record for the 60-meter dash was 6.51 seconds set by Qatari athlete Mansoor in 1993. Zhang Guan broke the Asian record for the 60-meter dash by 0.01 seconds.
"Break the Asian record in the 60-meter dash event and receive a reward: 1 skill point." The system has already prompted.
"The last time I broke the Asian record for the 100-meter dash, I was awarded 2 skill points, but this time it was just 1 skill point. It seems that this is the so-called reward attenuation. It should be because the 60-meter dash is not a major event, so there will be rewards. Attenuation. If calculated this way, the honorary rewards should be attenuated. I am afraid that the national 60-meter championship I won will not have any rewards!" Zhang Guan thought to himself.
The facts are just as Zhang Guan thought. When Zhang Guan received the national championship certificate, he did not receive any reward.
Looking at the red certificate in his hand, Zhang Guan thought helplessly: "I can't participate in this kind of national indoor track and field championships. There are no rewards if I come. From now on, I will only participate in international competitions in such indoor competitions!"
At the same time, coaches from several teams also ran to the tournament committee to report the situation.
"I don't think Zhang Guan should be allowed to participate in this kind of event. He is not at the same level as our athletes. Once he comes to compete, the championship will have nothing to do with us!" said the leading coach.
Someone next to him immediately echoed: "Yes, you are absolutely right. Although other runners also run very fast, they can still catch up. This crown is good. It broke the national record in the preliminary round and the Asian record in the final." , is he here to compete or to set a record!"
"Excellent athletes like this should go to international competitions to experience. Competitions at the level of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships are just a way to train inexperienced young athletes. I see, not only Zhang Guan, but also the hurdles Liu Feiren should not participate in this level of indoor competition. They have no competitors at all in China, so why come here to disrupt the situation... "
In the venue, Liu Feiren, who was lying on the gun for no apparent reason, sneezed. He rubbed his nose honestly and thought to himself:
"The north is just colder than the south!"
