July 17, BSU track and field.
The fourth leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix is being held here.
Due to preparations for the Olympics, athletes such as Liu Feiren and Xing Huina who had a chance to win medals in the Olympics did not participate. Zhang Guan, Asia's number one flyer, is considered a big-name player in this competition.
Since Liu Feiren didn't come, naturally no one paid attention to the 110-meter hurdles event. Because of this, all attention was focused on the 100-meter trapeze battle. Everyone wanted to see what Zhang Guan's current status was.
The university campus in July has entered the summer vacation, but there are still many students staying on campus, especially in the competitive sports college. Many of the students are professional athletes, including several international athletes and dozens of national athletes. , there are more national first-level athletes.
As the host city, BSU will naturally receive some care, so in this competition, the Tianjin Management Center gave BSU some participating places, so some of the participating athletes are BSU students. At the same time, this also lowered the overall competitive level of the game.
It is a great honor for many BSU students to be able to compete with Asia's number one flyer. Before the game, there were countless students looking for Zhang Guan's autographs and photos, which made Zhang Guan feel that the atmosphere of the game had disappeared a lot. . Facing this kind of scene, Zhang Guan couldn't get nervous at all, let alone get excited.
In the end, Zhang Guan ran a time of 10.24 seconds in the preliminary round and 10.26 seconds in the semi-finals. Both the preliminaries and the semi-finals were far from trying their best, they were just running around.
Zhang Guan originally took it a little seriously in the preliminary round, but when he found that the lead was too big, he didn't take it seriously even in the rematch.
Whether it was the preliminary round or the semi-finals, Zhang Guan's performance was not very good. His opponent was too weak, and Zhang Guan was not in the mood to compete at all. A person who can run 100 meters under ten seconds competes with a group of national first-level athletes, which is like a competition between a cheetah and a rabbit. Even if he wins, there is no sense of achievement.
At this time, Zhang Guan finally understood why those high-level athletes were unwilling to participate in low-level competitions. Although it seemed fun to abuse them, if they were abused, they might even change themselves.
In the finals the next day, the level of the athletes was finally much higher. There were no college athletes to make up the numbers, and the eight contestants were all professional-level athletes. Of course, it is impossible for college athletes to have the strength to enter the finals.
Zhang Guan met Shen Bao again. At this moment, Shen Bao's face looked very solemn and he looked a little nervous.
Shen Bao is sprinting for the final ticket to the Olympics. The registration deadline for the Olympics is coming soon, and Shen Bao will not give up this last opportunity. In fact, he has not given up any opportunity. He has participated in all track and field events this year and achieved a good result of 10.23 seconds. This result is his personal best and the best 100-meter result in China this year. , but it is a pity that there is still a gap of 0.02 seconds between the Olympic A standard.
In yesterday's competition, 19-year-old Wang Lina successfully skipped the Olympic A standard in the women's long jump event and won an Olympic ticket; and just now, in the men's javelin event, the 32-year-old veteran Li Rongxiang also successfully exceeded the Olympic A standard and qualified for the Athens Olympics. The birth of these two new Olympic tickets deeply stimulated Shen Bao, and he also hoped that he could seize this last opportunity and get the chance to go to Athens.
As for Zhang Guan, due to the impact of yesterday, his condition today is still very bad. Even Zhang Guan himself can clearly feel this. Even when he is standing on the track, his body cannot get excited at all, and his feet are on the ground. It felt extremely heavy, as if I had just stepped out of the freezer.
However, Zhang Guan still plans to challenge the Asian record this year. Zhang Guan currently has four skill points, and is still two skill points short of completing the next task. The honor of being the National Track and Field Grand Prix champion alone is not enough to earn two skill points, so he must break the Asian record once. .
…
With the sound of a gunshot, Zhang Guan rushed out of the starting line with all his strength.
"So fast! I have never seen anyone run so fast."
"He deserves to be the number one flyer in Asia!"
"It was surprising to see how fast I ran yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be even faster today!"
The BSU college students watching the game in the auditorium burst into admiration.
But on the track, Zhang Guan clearly felt that his speed was average. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be much faster than he is now.
In the system, the timing numbers were constantly being refreshed. Zhang Guan was a little anxious. At this speed, he might not be able to break the Asian record.
"You have to work harder!" Zhang Guan thought to himself. Although his legs were exerting all their strength, his speed did not increase.
In the end, he didn't hold back, and even made a serious move to cross the line even though he was leading by a large margin, but the final result stayed at 9.99 seconds.
There were bursts of cheers and applause from the entire stadium. Zhang Guan once again tied the Asian record. In the eyes of the audience, it was a great thing. It was an honor for these BSU students to witness this scene with their own eyes.
Director Yu, who was watching the game on the rostrum, took a deep breath and said to the people around him: "I originally thought that Mr. Chen's illness would affect his game state, but now it seems that his state is quite good and he can maintain this state. , I will feel relieved when I get to the Olympics.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the people present were all sports professionals, the best domestic players had always been 10.2 seconds away. Therefore, in their opinion, being able to equal the Asian record was definitely in very good condition.
Zhang Guan frowned at the finish line. He knew that his condition had reached the extreme and he had not performed at the normal level of his usual training.
Ten months have passed since Asian Athletics last year. During these ten months, Zhang Guan has greatly improved technically, and under the influence of the two skills of physical fitness and fitness, his physical strength and His endurance has been greatly improved, and the soreness in his calves after vigorous exercise has disappeared. It can be said that his strength is much stronger than last year. Zhang Guan himself has also secretly tested it. Under full sprint, his 100-meter speed is definitely much faster than last year's Asian Track and Field Championships, and he can run within 9.9 seconds.
Today, Zhang Guan tried his best, but only ran 9.99 seconds, which only shows that Zhang Guan's condition today is very poor.
Then Zhang Guan took another look at the total score list. Shen Bao still failed to reach the Olympic A standard. He was destined to miss the Athens Olympics this time. And judging from his age and competitive status, it is impossible to participate in the next Olympics. .
Shen Bao looked at the results list with a disappointed expression, his eyes full of pain and unwillingness. As an athlete, participating in the Olympics is undoubtedly not only an honor, but also his lifelong dream. But now that dream is shattered, he will never have the chance to realize his dream.
"Brother Shen..." Zhang Guan stepped forward, wanting to comfort Shen Bao.
Shen Bao raised his head, smiled at Zhang Guan, and said: "Zhang Guan, do your best for the Olympics, even my share will be there, and try to reach the finals!"
After Shen Bao finished speaking, he turned around and left, but Zhang Guan vaguely saw that there seemed to be a little bit of crystal flowing out of the corners of Shen Bao's eyes.
Zhang Guan didn't speak anymore. He watched Shen Bao leave, but then he thought of Mr. Chen's lonely figure when he left.
"I will definitely win the Olympic championship!" Zhang Guan suddenly said.
Shen Bao's body jerked, but he didn't look back. Then he raised his right hand and stretched out his thumb.
Zhang Guan couldn't see Shen Bao's expression, but he knew that Shen Bao must be silently blessing him and all the athletes of the national team in his heart at this time!
…
Without breaking the Asian record and only winning one National Track and Field Grand Prix championship, Zhang Guan accumulated five skill points and was one skill point short of completing the task. As for this skill point, we need to wait until the fifth leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix at the end of this month.
Sitting on the bus on the way back, Zhang Guan frowned, thinking about how to improve his game.
Director Yu was also sitting on the same bus. When he saw Zhang Guan looking unhappy, he changed seats with the person next to Zhang Guan and came to Zhang Guan.
"I tied the Asian record, why are I still so depressed?" Director Yu asked.
"Coach, I feel that the recent game state is not good. I have been struggling in the past two days." Zhang Guan said.
"Bad condition?" Director Yu was stunned. In his opinion, it was possible that he was in poor condition to tie the Asian record. However, judging from Zhang Guan's serious expression, he did not seem to be joking.
"Why is the situation so bad? Let me hear it." Director Yu said.
Zhang Guan answered: "It's a bit hard to describe..."
"Do you feel that you are struggling to run, the steps are heavy, you can't find the rhythm, and it's awkward? It feels like you are exerting force, but the speed just can't be increased." Director Yu suddenly looked a little serious.
"Yes, that's what it feels like!" Zhang Guan said.
Instructor Yu took a breath of air-conditioning. He has been an athlete for more than ten years and a coach for decades. Of course he knows what it feels like when athletes are in poor competition condition, so he described it very accurately.
"An athlete may experience ups and downs in form if he has not participated in a competition for a long time, or suffers physical injuries, or undergoes drastic adjustments in training, or is affected by off-field factors. I will make a plan for you when I get back. A new training plan, I will personally follow up on your daily training." Director Yu said.
In the opinion of the instructor, Zhang Guan’s decline in form may have been affected by the departure of Mr. Chen. Changing coaches has a great impact on an athlete. The new coach is obviously not as high as Mr. Chen, so Zhang Guan’s competitive state has deteriorated. Decline. In this case, as long as you arrange training appropriately, it won't take long to return to competitive form.
"Speaking of which, this kid can run 9.99 seconds even if he is not in good condition. If he is in good condition, wouldn't he be aiming for the world championship?" Director Yu thought silently.
——————
The first chapter was delivered today. First of all, I would like to thank the new helmsman Xin Weixue. She has been supporting me since I passed the test and started publishing the book. Thank you very much! Then let’s talk about the plot. I don’t like some routine writing methods. I just write how others write. I think it’s very boring. So from the beginning of the conception of this book, I have been trying some new ideas and innovations. In fact, some of them are bad. The reason why I find the baggage of the plot very boring is because everyone uses the same writing method to write these baggage, but does not integrate the baggage into their own story plot, which ultimately triggers readers' aesthetic fatigue. I'm always trying to pass the level, trying to find a balance between being enjoyable to watch and having an interesting story. This is a bit difficult, but I will try my best to do it. Finally, please vote for recommendation! Thanks.
