Almighty Athlete

Chapter 7: First place in the semi-finals

Views:

"The start was a bit of a failure." Zhang Guan was very depressed. Although he was a beginner, he could still feel that this start was obviously not as good as the previous one.

"What a bad start!" The coaches and athletes watching the game thought in unison, and even Mr. Chen shook his head helplessly.

Experienced athletes know how to maintain their state and excitement during the game, so even if they run twice in the morning, they can maintain their state. Zhang Guan, a novice, obviously did not master this skill. After a game and a period of rest, Zhang Guan's body was not as excited as before, so this start was far inferior to his performance in the first game.

"The start was so poor, the reaction time at the start was almost 0.4 seconds. Even if he performed the same as last time, his time would have been over 10 seconds 60. It seems that this championship is not something to be afraid of. The qualifying group has been determined!" Chen The coach slowly released his nervous fists, and the coaches next to him also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the high-level 100-meter flying competition, 0.01 seconds can be judged as a grade, so the starting reaction time becomes particularly important. Zhang Guan's starting reaction time was close to 0.4 seconds, while others' reaction time was within 0.2 seconds, which was a gap of 0.2 seconds. In the men's 100-meter event, starting 0.2 seconds slower can almost sentence an athlete to death.

Coach Chen did not watch Zhang Guan’s first game. According to his understanding of a normal athlete, Zhang Guan’s starting reaction time in the first game should be within 0.2 seconds. After all, a qualified professional athlete’s starting reaction time will not exceed 0.2 seconds. 0.2 seconds. So he calculated that Zhang Guan's final time would be more than 10.6 seconds, but Coach Chen didn't know that he couldn't use normal cognitive methods to judge a newcomer. Zhang Guan, a newcomer, had a starting reaction time of 0.3 seconds in the first race and 0.3 seconds in the second race. Although the starting state was not good, it was only less than 0.1 seconds slower than the first race.

But what is different from the first game is that Zhang Guan's sprinting skills have become expert level.

On the rostrum, Director Yu was also paying attention to Zhang Guan. When he saw Zhang Guan starting, he actually laughed. At the same time, he muttered to himself: "You are really a newcomer. But a newcomer is good, he is completely blank, and his plasticity is also great! Huh? Is the explosive power stronger than before? Why is the speed so fast? This is impossible!"

Director Yu could tell at a glance that Zhang Guan's speed was slightly faster than in the first game, which made Director Yu feel a little baffled.

Judging from Zhang Guan's starting process, his condition in the second race was obviously not as good as the first race, and his physical excitement was not as high as in the first race. Therefore, Zhang Guan's speed after starting was definitely not as fast as the first race. It is a reasonable performance. But after Zhang Guan started, his speed not only did not slow down, but actually came faster than in the first race. This was completely against common sense in the opinion of the instructor.

"If you are not in good condition, you will run faster! Who would believe it? Did this kid not try his best in the first game?" Director Yu said in a low voice.

Off the court, Mr. Chen also frowned.

Mr. Chen also saw that Zhang Guan's condition was not as good as in the first game, but he showed faster speed after that, which was obviously against common sense.

"Did this kid have reservations before? That must be the case, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. This kid's tricks were hidden from even me." Although Mr. Chen thought this, he was more happy in his heart. The potential shown by Zhang Guan today has greatly exceeded Mr. Chen's expectations. As a coach, he has devoted his whole life to the country's sports industry. Now at this age, good performance by his disciples has probably become Mr. Chen's only pursuit. .

On the track, glasses man Hu Kai, who was in third place, rushed forward with all his strength. After fifty meters, he was already on par with Pang Guibin, who was in second place.

"The one wearing glasses is Hu Kai!" Pang Guibin realized that Hu Kai had caught up. Then he looked at Wang Peng who was in the lead and felt that even if he tried his best, he could not catch up with Wang Peng. In an instant, Pang Guibin made a decision that he must keep his second place, so he immediately adjusted his rhythm and adopted a more aggressive running style.

Hu Kai only started to receive formal sprint training two years ago. His competition experience and ability to adjust during the competition are not as good as Pang Guibin's. However, if he is more talented, Hu Kai is a bit more powerful. At this time, Hu Kai has found his own rhythm and speed. When he mentioned it, he actually came from behind and surpassed Pang Guibin at this moment.

"We've passed it!" Hu Kai was delighted and prepared to sprint towards Wang Peng, who was in the lead.

It was at this moment that a figure passed by Hu Kai.

"No, Pang Guibin overtook him!" Hu Kai was surprised, but found that the figure who surpassed him was taller than Pang Guibin, and the athletes' colors were also different.

"It's not Pang Guibin, who is that? Looking at his face, by the way, it's the one named Zhang Guan!" Hu Kai reacted immediately, but found that Zhang Guan had already chased Wang Peng, who was the first.

Wang Peng has been in the lead since the start.

Wang Peng was in very good shape in this match. After fifty meters, he could already smell the first place.

"I am in good condition today. I will definitely be able to run under 10.40 seconds this time!" Wang Peng silently calculated in his heart. As an experienced athlete, he could judge his approximate result even while the competition was still in progress.

Suddenly, Wang Peng noticed out of the corner of his eye that an athlete was catching up behind him.

"It's so fast. Who could it be? He's not wearing glasses. If he's not driving wildly, it must be Pang Guibin. Pang Guibin has made a lot of progress this year and can run so fast." An idea flashed in Wang Peng's mind, but then he found that the other party had already contacted him. He was neck and neck. Then he was surprised to find that the person who arrived first was not Pang Guibin.

"Is it Zhang Guan who ranked first in the preliminary round? He can catch up with me. Isn't the 10 seconds 38 in the preliminary round an accident?" Wang Peng immediately realized this. At the same time, he even noticed that his speed could not keep up with Zhang Guan. , the two kept pace with each other for only a moment, and Zhang Guan completed his overtaking of Wang Peng. It was at the moment when Zhang Guan completed his overtake that Wang Peng knew clearly that it was impossible for him to overtake him. The opponent's speed was so fast that Wang Peng felt desperate.

In all racing events, completing a surpass is always the most exciting and exciting moment. Due to his reaction time at the start, Zhang Guan fell into last place. As a result, in just ten seconds, he surpassed seven opponents and took the lead. This kind of huge reversal of the game also Most able to arouse the passion of the surrounding audience. Especially when Zhang Guan surpassed Wang Peng, there were several excited shouts and exclamations from outside the court.

On the track, the distance to the finish line was less than fifteen meters. According to the current situation, Zhang Guan felt that there was no problem in advancing to the semi-finals. Considering that the sprinting skill could last for 20 seconds, Zhang Guan took the initiative to slow down his speed.

In the last ten meters, Wang Peng sprinted hard, but still had to settle for second place. Zhang Guan, who finally slowed down, crossed the finish line first. The time showed that his final time was 10.35 seconds, which was faster than in the preliminary round. 0.03 seconds, which is also the first time in the semi-finals.

Zhang Guan walked off the field and walked toward the athletes' tunnel. What he didn't expect was that when he met some coaches or athletes he didn't know at all on the way, they would take the initiative to say hello to him, and some even took the initiative to chat with Zhang Guan.

"This is competitive sports! It's so cruel." Zhang Guan sighed silently in his heart. In the competition field, strength is the only criterion for gaining recognition from peers. Even if your appearance is not outstanding, even if your body is not tall, even if you are not good at talking, as long as you achieve results, you will be recognized by everyone. When you achieve When you achieve good enough results, you will be looked up to by everyone!

Mr. Chen stepped forward, pretending to be angry and said: "You know how to hide your strength! You can run so fast, but you hide it all during training. Even I don't know."

Zhang Guan smiled slightly awkwardly. This was not because he was hiding his strength, but because his skills happened to be upgraded after the last game.

"Tell me the truth, how fast can you run?" Mr. Chen then asked.

"Well..." Zhang Guan hesitated for a moment and then said, "I really haven't tried it yet. I guess if I'm in good condition and I try harder, I might be able to get into 10.30 seconds."

"So fast? Are you sure?" Mr. Chen asked.

"I'm sure!" Zhang Guan nodded seriously, then approached Mr. Chen and said softly: "When I was competing just now, I let it go a little bit at the end."

Mr. Chen nodded: "That's right. There is another semi-final in the afternoon. Counting the two games this morning, this is three games in one day. This kind of game is very intense, so you should save some energy. Fortunately, the afternoon race will be a little later, giving you more time to recover your strength. After the afternoon race, the 100-meter final will not be held until tomorrow afternoon, so there will be plenty of rest time. And in the afternoon, the overall result will be selected The top eight will advance to the finals, and the competition among athletes in the same group is much smaller, you just need to run your own race well."
