just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 143 Relay Preliminaries
Stade de France,

On the runway, before the starting gun was fired, the 8 people who started the race were fully concentrated. After the gun was fired, the 8 people shuttled out instantly.The other 24 athletes who were waiting in their respective areas also pulled their nerves into tension at the same time!

"Shen Bao's starting reaction is very fast. Compared with the opponents in the same group, he is not inferior at all. His starting speed is very fast. He is accelerating rapidly. The handover must be stable and there should be no mistakes..."

During Yang Jian's quick commentary, the arena was already full of cheers.

In the fourth track, Shen Bao's figure was speeding across the track. He had no time to pay attention to him. He could only stare at the outsiders who had a bigger reach in front of him. There was only one thought in his mind, to catch up with them and fight with them. At close range, he knows that his strength is not superior to the others who started at the same time, so he will fight and not fall behind. As long as he does not fall behind, we have hope...

Before the gunfire of the match, Shen Bao actually felt his heart pounding. He was both looking forward to and afraid of the match.But the moment the gun rang, he gave up all his thoughts. He failed to qualify for the World Championships in both the 100m and 200m. This relay was his first appearance in the World Series, and he didn't want to be the only one.

The future is uncertain, but he almost knows in his heart that the chance of him being able to participate in individual events in the competition is very small.Therefore, he cherishes every opportunity to appear in the competition.

Relying on the tenacious will, all the energy exploded.Shen Bao ran out of his best form. The distance of the first leg was slightly shorter than the regular 100 meters. For an early explosive player like him, it was a good thing, allowing him to compete with the first leg of the same group. It doesn't look bad at all.

With fast strides and fierce arm swings, a few seconds flew by in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the handover area of ​​the first club. At this time, Chen Jianhai saw that Shen Bao's figure had reached the position he had calculated, and suddenly started to speed up. With cooperation, he was already extremely familiar with Shen Bao's rhythm.

"catch!"

With a shout that could be heard even in the deafening noise, when Chen Jianhai ran to his calculated pace, he stretched out his hand without looking back, and firmly grasped the baton in his hand.

"...The passing baton is very good! Their tacit understanding is full. Now look at Chen Jianhai's speed. The distance of the second baton is longer, and Chen Jianhai's speed has also increased..."

Stepping out of the relay zone in a few steps, Chen Jianhai's speed has almost reached the extreme. As the No.1 domestic sprinter, when his 10-meter performance is stable, he can often run around 20 seconds. The 200-meter score is only slightly worse than Yang Zuyao and a few others.

Because of the adjustments and preparations planned for the whole year before, his physical condition was not at its peak in those final sprint qualifying games, which led to his failure to run out of the World Championship A mark.And he knew that his body couldn't resist long-term outbursts.It is both regrettable and helpless.

During the period after the defeat, Chen Jianhai was very depressed, and he also thought a lot.He also remembered a lot of past events, his original intention when he first became an athlete, the ideals and goals of an athlete he held.

If the strength is really not good, there is nothing wrong with it, but due to various objective reasons, it is impossible to represent the country to the world to show itself and China.So what qualifications do you have to be named "Huaxia".

It was also after that day that he figured it out, and didn't think about the so-called status adjustment anymore.There is no longer any so-called national strategy that the provincial team communicated with him.He knows that in the World Championships he can appear in the race, the 4*100-meter relay.This is a group project representing the country, this is not an individual project.If the personal project is not running well, the big deal is that I am depressed.But in team competitions, he can't hold back his teammates because of his so-called state adjustment.Otherwise he can't face his own heart,
Through communication with the coach, Chen Jianhai ruled out all the interference and devoted himself to the running-in of the relay training.It is also true that now he can be said to have run out of his peak state.

Relying on his and Shen Bao's perfect handover, the Huaxia team gained a slight advantage almost instantly, and Chen Jianhai, who went all out on the second straight, gradually caught up with the Wudao players.With no distractions, he ran wildly, charging towards the next target!

When the straight road enters the curve, the handover of the second and third sticks is about to begin.

"Running well, that's it, Jianhai!" Yang Zuyao, in the handover area of ​​the second and third gangs, has been encouraging Chen Jianhai since he first took over.He can understand Chen Jianhai's psychology, he really understands.

In the national team, Yang Zuyao's popularity has always been good, because he is calm, because he does not fight, because he is sincere and friendly to every teammate who is close or not.Similarly, he is also the one with the fewest championship titles among the top sprinters in the national team.

In the past, his coach Liu Ren sometimes fought, and in the end Yang Zuyao would discuss it with Liu Ren.In Yang Zuyao's eyes, every athlete is not easy.In his previous cognition, his own talent and strength are just like that, and he doesn't have to worry about his problems after retirement.He hopes that his teammates can have better development.

This made Liu Ren very helpless, he knew Yang Zuyao's character, and he couldn't bear to blame him.Therefore, this is also the reason why he has a lot of resentment towards those coaches.

Even when Yang Zuyao was much stronger than others in terms of relative strength after following Lin Mu, he still had this attitude.During the relay training, the team originally wanted him to run the second leg, because the second leg has a longer distance, with curves and straights, which is very suitable for his technical characteristics, and he can also run with good results. Especially after he consciously strengthened the outbreak.

At the end of the [-]-meter race in the World Championships, Chen Jianhai stood up and asked to run the second leg. Chen Jianhai also had his reasons for thinking.Because if he came to run the third club, compared to his fit with Zhao Lin, he is obviously not as good as Yang Zuyao.And with the cooperation with Shen Bao, he can do better.This period of practice is not in vain.

Coach Liu Ren did not refuse after thinking about it.One is that the technology is suitable, and the other is that the cooperation is suitable. It does not necessarily mean that one is good or the other is bad in the end.If Chen Jianhai can run in an excellent state, that would be a good thing, so you can try.

Yang Zuyao would not stop him, he knew that Chen Jianhai might have figured out something, or he wanted to prove his heart.Just like him before, he has experienced many ups and downs. Whether he is standing at the low point or at the top, he is often blinded by many illusions.After a defeat, he had awakened a lot, and he could see that Chen Jianhai had also awakened.He's only 23 years old. He shouldn't be just catching three melons and two jujubes in China every year, and then waiting to retire after a few years in a daze.

With these thoughts churning in his mind, as Chen Jianhai approached suddenly, he didn't have time to think any more.

When Chen Jianhai entered the budgeted step position, he turned his head and started to speed up suddenly.Because he consciously strengthened the burst of acceleration, his acceleration distance was much shorter than before.Not to mention that Chen Jianhai is not familiar with it, even he himself often couldn't control his steps the first time or two.

This is also at the beginning, Chen Jianhai and Yang Zuyao often failed to cooperate when they handed over.Either fast or slow down and so on.At this time, the role that an excellent coaching team can play is reflected!

After the [-]-meter semi-final, Yang Zuyao's sudden improvement in the starting rhythm made Liu Ren both happy and worried.The joy is the relay race, and the improvement of every link is worthy of joy.The worry is that this change has been promoted too fast.When he was in China, he had just designed the handover and running-in, and it would be a while before it changed again.Moreover, there is too little time for them to adapt at this moment, he is really afraid that they will not be able to adapt.He was a little bit reluctant to let Yang Zuyao slow down and follow the original schedule.

In the end, Liu Ren made a decision. After staying up most of the night, the team made rigorous calculations on Yang Zuyao's stride frequency and stride length, as well as the relative speed of Chen Jianhai's final sprint to the handover area, and the final result came out.It's been a few days of running-in, although the overall situation is not too ideal.However, the overall efficiency is not lower than the original!

In the handover area, when Yang Zuyao felt that his speed was about to increase to the fastest stage, a vague shout came from behind.

"Take it!" The shout sounded, and without thinking about it, he stretched his hand back, and the baton was firmly in his hand.He knew that Chen Jianhai really worked hard this time, and he was tired if he didn't know how to shout.

Can't live up to the efforts of all teammates!After Yang Zuyao just said it again in his heart, he started to speed up with no distractions!
Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!
Coming out of the handover area, with a curve distance of more than 80 meters, Yang Zuyao let go of all his body and mind and ran wildly. Before the game, he analyzed it and consulted his coach.How to run this corner.And the coach's answer is limit, limit, limit.

Now he is very sure, just such a distance to accelerate to the peak, run to the limit, he can completely control his own rhythm as he wants!Even though he felt uncomfortable, the distance was really not long. With his speed resistance, compared to the 200-meter race, it was much easier!
Every step, every second, in the curve, Yang Zuyao stepped on the steps crazily, as if the machine had accurately calculated the landing point, every step was very steady, and his posture was extremely smooth. With a height of 187 centimeters, he is not weak compared to most athletes.With crazy arm swings, strides, and good explosive power, he ran extremely efficiently.

In a blink of an eye, the next relay zone is about to arrive!
Zhao Lin has been paying attention to Yang Zuyao, tilting his head and twisting his body, and he is silently calculating some steps in his heart.Seeing Yang Zuyao galloping towards him, he kept observing in an awkward posture, turned around and adjusted his posture in an instant, suddenly burst out with full strength, lowered his head and started to run at a high speed.

One step, two steps, three steps... Zhao Lin counted his steps, and when he reached the distance of the seventh step, he stretched his hand behind his back before he could take the eighth step.

And almost at the same time, a powerful Chinese word "jie" sounded from behind, and then the baton fell into his palm.

Precise step calculation results, familiar teammates, and honed tacit cooperation, although this handover is not perfect, it is also perfect.

As soon as Zhao Lin received the baton, within two steps, his speed increased to his fastest peak stage.At this time, the curve is about to enter the straight.

Almost all the spectators were excited. This was the final competition, and it was also a competition of absolute speed.Success or failure also depends on it!
The positions of the first few laners who entered the straight were clearly displayed in front of everyone, and a louder roar was also aroused!
"The corner entered the straight, and the Huaxia team rushed out. We are leading now. Zhao Lin is in the first position, and the Nigerian team is in second. Their last shot was to enter the [-]-meter final of the World Championships." Aliu. The gap between the two sides is not too big now, but our last shot is Zhao Lin, he is the world's [-]-meter sprinter..."

Yang Jian, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, was so excited that he almost went crazy. From the first shot, he had very little time for commentary.On the one hand, the speed of the game is really too fast.On the other hand, he was too focused, and was so excited that he often forgot to speak.It was only when the baton was handed over that he was nervous and afraid of the Huaxia team's mistakes, so he said a few words with passion and concern.

He witnessed Shen Bao's desperation for the first baton, handed over the first baton with only a slight disadvantage, and witnessed Chen Jianhai's longest-distance dash. The original slight disadvantage was also completely pulled back.

Yang Zuyao in the third lane ran a smooth corner.In the end, the last handover was successfully completed.Relying on strength and tacit understanding between the three rounds, the Huaxia team led all the players in the other rounds.Although the advantage is small, but now is the last shot, our Huaxia team is Zhao Lin!
"This is the 100 meters of the final straight, there is no Montgomery here, there is no Maurice Green, there is no Chambers, no one can catch him now..."

No. 10 in Asia with a 1-meter score within [-] seconds, a young, energetic, and perfect new world sprinter.The absolute strength of peak speed is fully revealed at this time.

As long as he charges forward, no one can resist in front of these opponents.

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV only blinked slightly, Zhao Lin flashed like a red lightning.When Zhao Lin opened his eyes again, the distance between Zhao Lin and Aliu, the fourth player in Nigeria, widened and continued to expand.

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Zhao Lin, come on!"

"Huaxia must win!"

"..."

The audience watching the game in front of the TV, regardless of whether there is anyone nearby, whether it is late at night or not.Many people stood up and shouted.The audience at the scene stood up early, waiting for the birth of the result!
30 meters, 20 meters, ten meters... cross the line!
Running into the straight, with the lead in the first three legs, Zhao Lin knew his opponent in the fourth leg, and he already had enough confidence to complete his mission.

On the timing card, No.1's score is displayed!

“38秒11！38秒11！38秒11……”杨建高亢的声音连续的喊着华夏队最后的成绩！

"Huaxia team, absolute strength, first in the group, advanced to the final. 38 seconds 11! A new national record, a new Asian record! Shen Bao, Chen Jianhai, Yang Zuyao, Zhao Lin, we congratulate the Huaxia men's relay team, we congratulate the four Boy. They set a new national record and set a new relay Asian record at the same time!!

此前华夏队接力赛的最好成绩是38秒81，靠着绝对的实力和默契的配合。他们把成绩提高了0.7秒。这是一次巨大的飞跃。荣耀华夏，荣耀亚洲！他们打破了尘封6年之久的38秒31的亚洲记录……”
