Almighty Athlete

Chapter 5: Victory in the first battle

Views:

On the track, Zhang Guan stepped on the starting block with both feet, feeling a little nervous.

"Everyone, get ready!" The starter raised the starting gun, and all the athletes, including Zhang Guan, took the starting position.

I have to say that two months of starting training was very effective for Zhang Guan. At least in terms of starting posture and direction of force, Zhang Guan has caught up with other professional athletes.

Finally, the gunshot rang out and the eight athletes on the track rushed out of the starting line. Zhang Guan also activated the "sprint" skill at this time.

However, at the moment of starting, Zhang Guan was in last place. The starting reaction time of professional athletes is generally within 0.2 seconds, and Zhang Guan's current starting reaction time is about 0.1 seconds slower than others. After all, it was only two months of training, and Zhang Guan's starting reaction time has not yet fully reached the level of a professional athlete.

Instructor Yu, who was watching the match from a distance, frowned. As the coach of the national team, he naturally knew that an athlete's starting reaction time had a great relationship with the state at the start. However, every professional athlete has gone through a lot of training, muscles and body I have already memorized the starting action, and it can even be said that I have formed a conditioned reflex. For excellent professional athletes, even if their condition at the start is poor, the starting reaction time cannot be slower than 0.2 seconds based on the body's memory and conditioned reflex of the start.

In the men's 100-meter professional race, the only explanation for an athlete's starting reaction time being slower than 0.2 seconds is that they were absent-minded at the start. Not paying attention during the competition is a taboo no matter what kind of sports competition it is, and it is an unforgivable mistake in the 100-meter race. So Director Yu turned his head slightly to look at Mr. Chen, only to find a faint smile on Mr. Chen's face, which was a very gratifying expression.

Director Yu didn't know that Zhang Guan's starting reaction time was even worse. Being able to improve his starting reaction time to less than 0.3 seconds within two months made Mr. Chen very satisfied.

"What's wrong with Lao Chen? My disciple dared to be distracted during the start, and he's still so happy!" Director Yu felt a little baffled, and then turned his attention to the track, and then found that Zhang Guan had already joined the first place. The names go hand in hand.

"What's going on? How did he catch up! It's so fast! This is the speed only the top players in the country have." Director Yu's eyes widened. He is the highest-level coach in the country and is extremely sensitive to the speed of athletes, so In just a moment, Yu Guidance made an accurate judgment.

The next few groups of players preparing to appear were also watching from the sidelines.

"What are you doing? You charge so hard right from the start. You don't have to work so hard in the preliminary round!" one player said.

"It's normal. After all, this is the first group. We don't have an advantage in terms of strength. Why not grab the top two and advance to the semi-finals first." Another person said.

"But this kid is really fast. He shouldn't look like a newcomer at this speed, but why have I never seen him before?"

"I haven't seen it either..."

"No, this speed seems a bit outrageous!"

During everyone's discussion, Zhang Guan was already close to the finish line. Even if he lost the blessing of the "Sprint" skill for a certain distance, Zhang Guan was undoubtedly the first to cross the finish line, and the time in his mind was also passing by. The moment of the finish line stopped at exactly 10.38 seconds.

Later, Zhang Guan looked at the minutes display at the finish line, which showed that his final time was exactly 10.38 seconds.

Two months ago, Zhang Guan's hand-timed time of 10.3 seconds was about 10.54 seconds using electronic timing. Now the electronic timing of 10.38 seconds is 0.16 seconds faster than two months ago. Basically, it is the time improved by the start. .

"It turns out that the national competition is just like this." Zhang Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension disappeared without a trace.

"10 seconds 38!" Director Yu exclaimed.

This achievement may not be dazzling ten years later, but at the time, it was an extraordinary achievement. Last year, only three people in the country ran under 10.40 seconds. If Zhang Guan's time of 10.38 seconds had been placed last year, he would have ranked among the top four in the country.

Under the domestic athlete selection and rating system, Director Yu, as the coach of the national team, knows all the master-level athletes in each province, but Zhang Guan is obviously an exception today. Director Yu recalled those outstanding first-level athletes, No similar information was found.

Director Yu looked at Mr. Chen who looked satisfied and said, "Old Chen, where did you find this good young man?"

Mr. Chen stretched out two fingers and said, "Two months ago, I found a treasure during the national second-level athlete test."

"A test for second-level athletes?" Director Yu's eyes widened in surprise. To him, the level of national second-level athletes was as childish as a child playing house. Then, Director Yu remembered what Mr. Chen said about "two months" ago.

"Participated in the second-level athlete test two months ago? Is he a newcomer?" Director Yu immediately grasped the focus of the question.

"Yes! He is seventeen years old this year and is in his second year of high school. He only started practicing sprinting a few years ago. He has only been undergoing formal training in my hands for two months." Mr. Chen nodded and turned to ask: "You can't believe it! "

"I can't believe it, I'm just shocked." Director Yu paused and then said, "Old Chen, please give me this kid's information later! The national team needs some new blood."

On the track, when Zhang Guan completed the race, the novice mission was also completed.

The system prompt pops up again: Mission completed, reward obtained: 1 skill point.

Immediately afterwards, the system's voice sounded: "In addition to learning skills, skill points can also be used to upgrade skills. Next, you can try to upgrade skills."

A sprint skill icon appeared in the middle of the system interface, and the task prompted Zhang Guan to upgrade his sprint skills. Zhang Guan also immediately upgraded his sprinting skills.

"The upgrade is successful. The sprint skill is upgraded to expert level. The skill effect is improved: the straight-line running speed is greatly improved, and the duration is 20 seconds."

In the system, the original green icon of the skill has now turned blue. The original "straight-line running speed will be improved to a certain extent" has become "a large improvement". At the same time, the duration has also changed from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. , fully doubled.

"10 seconds has become 20 seconds, which means that the effect of sprinting can cover the entire 100-meter race, so I can also enjoy the skill bonus in the last distance." Zhang Guan thought to himself.

A new task prompt pops up suddenly:

Now that you have expert-level skills, you are no longer what you used to be. The road to the top of your life has begun. Accept the challenge!

Novice mission: break a national record.
