just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 160 Asian Championship ([-])
"Brother Bao, I..."

Looking at the person in front of him, he was still the same as before, with squinted eyes, pursed lips, and a smile on his face.He felt a little uncomfortable.No matter what he said this time, he was the one who took his place.

"You boy!" Shen Bao stretched out his hand and rubbed Shen Huan's head. His short hair was a bit thorny, but he liked it very much. Who told him that he was the only one in the team who could touch his head so smoothly.

"What are you thinking about? Don't think nonsense. No one has ever been young, and no one has ever been old. Although Coach Lin is also young, he is not so comparable..." Shen Bao could tell that this thoughtful little brother was thinking wildly again.He was pushed out of his position and really didn't have much idea.It is an inevitable process, although I am not necessarily at a disadvantage compared to Shen Huan now.

But he knew that this was all he could do, and he couldn't keep up, especially when he listed a new plan this time.The content and intensity of his plan were far inferior to Shen Huan's. He was about to turn 27 and his body full of old injuries couldn't bear it anymore.

Originally, if there was no change in the team, he would also bring it up to the team.As early as last year, he thought about retiring early. He could only run for two or three months a year, and the rest of the time was either training or adjustments.

Coach Yuan and other coaches kept him. The old man will grow old, and the newcomer has not yet risen. They hope that Shen Bao can save some time to give more experience to the newcomers.In the end he stayed.But if he wants to compete with rookies for competition opportunities, he really won't do it.Now that he has fulfilled his dream of becoming a world champion, it can be regarded as truly fulfilled, let alone grabbing opportunities!Compared with Lao Zhou and Lao Yin, he is already much luckier!It's less than a year at most, and he thinks about it until the end of next year's Olympics.Get into the schedule early now, too!

"It's a good comparison. Brother Bao, I'm a substitute now. Don't let me, an old man with old arms and legs, have to play hard! Do you know..." He rubbed Shen Huan's head again, and pulled him closer , This little brother is just thoughtful.Ever since he left Coach Lin, he has been very dull. How could he have the same enthusiasm as when he broke the indoor record.

"Thank you, Brother Bao..." Shen Huan felt a little sad. He couldn't feel Shen Bao's mentality, but he could hear that Shen Bao's concern for him was sincere.Many times, when he was depressed, Shen Bao liked to use gags to relieve him.Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Okay! Okay! Let's go and watch the race. The [-]-meter preliminaries are about to start! Let's cheer up..." Shen Bao looked at Shen Huan, still smiling, and pulled Shen Huan to speed up After walking a few steps, Shen Bao said in a low voice: "This time, Coach Lin recommended you to Coach Liu. Coach Lin is a good coach who can treat athletes sincerely. As long as you are willing to work hard for your dreams struggle.

Also, Coach Liu Ren discussed many aspects of your previous training plan with Coach Lin.Coach Lin doesn't care about those little thoughts.Run well, don’t think about irrelevant things, no matter who you are for, you must run well! "

Shen Bao's voice was rarely more serious, and it was only a sentence or two, and then returned to its original state.

The sourness in Shen Huan's heart became a little heavier. He knew some things, he just didn't know how to face them.This is a young boy who is both simple and complex, full of contradictions.

"I will run well, and I can only run well..." Shen Huan kept silent and was led away by Shen Bao, but the words in his heart kept repeating!

……

At 17:30 in the afternoon, the first round of preliminaries of the men's [-] meters officially started.

There is no performance consideration for the Asian Championships, and all Asian Athletics member countries can sign up for the competition.Due to the uneven sprint level of various countries, a special round of qualifying rounds has been set up. Therefore, the [-]-meter race in this Asian Championship is divided into four rounds: qualifying rounds, preliminaries, semi-finals and finals.

As early as the morning, the men's 100 meters had already conducted a round of qualifying competitions, which were mainly aimed at other member countries whose track and field sprint level is even more backward in Asia.

The 17 people in the two groups of the qualifying round finally competed for 4 places to make up for the preliminaries.A total of 38 contestants will be divided into 5 preliminaries for the second round of preliminaries.

The top two in each group in the preliminaries plus the six best scores among the remaining players, a total of 6 athletes will advance to the subsequent semi-finals.

Group preliminaries begin!
There was no suspense, not even passion, the four groups went smoothly, the process was lackluster!

Facing the few cheers and cheers, Zhao Lin made his debut in the last group of preliminaries!

On the track, Zhao Lin stood at his starting position and relaxedly observed the surrounding situation and other players in the group.

There were too few spectators in the stands, and there were not many media and reporters. What he didn't know was that if it weren't for him, the yellow No. 1 in 10 meters and [-] seconds, there might be even fewer reporters.When he was being chased at the World Championships, some members of the team helped him block a lot, intentionally or unintentionally.After being chased for a period of time in China after the end, he and the team also hid it intentionally or unintentionally. He has not yet been able to feel more of the sensation that the first yellow man to break the [-]-second barrier should have. and explosive.

Just before he went to the preparation area to wait for inspection and roll call, more than 10 to 20 reporters speaking various languages ​​​​surrounded him. Regarding these, Zhao Lin is now quite calm.I don’t care too much. I have experienced competitions with world-famous players, watched by tens of thousands of people, and also experienced the baptism of competitions.I have never had the experience of being chased by foreign and domestic reporters for interviews.Such a scene can obviously only be called shabby.Therefore, he is extremely relaxed.

The coach has said that the last thing an athlete looks at is on the track.What you need to get on the track is to run out of yourself, no matter what the environment is or who the opponent is.But...these opponents really made it difficult for Zhao Lin to regard them as opponents.

As soon as he made his debut, he faced the top domestic players, and then the world competition. Although he already knew that the level of Asian athletes in the [-]-meter sprint event was indeed not high, it was still difficult for him to describe it.

He watched the whole process of the first 4 group matches. Yang Zuyao, Chen Jianhai, including those from Japan, easily won the top two in the group and advanced to the semi-finals.Yang Zuyao's 10 seconds 13, the whole process was as easy as a training run, ranking first in the group.Chen Jianhai, after a 60-meter fight with the Japanese player, also tacitly released the water, 10 seconds 35 and 10 seconds 38, ranking the top two in the group.And this very ordinary result in Zhao Lin's opinion is indeed the top three in the final top 4 groups.

Unless he ends up with a broken leg, it is really hard for Zhao Lin to imagine that he will run out of the preliminaries. Coach, I am really not arrogant!

He looked at the other opponents in this group with great interest, let's call them opponents!

At this moment, they are each doing their own pre-match "performance".

On the left is a local player from the Philippines, with a height of 1.6 meters, which is much shorter than that little guy.He waved his arms to greet the local audience in the stands, which rarely aroused bursts of cheers!
On the right is a Thai athlete, with a dark face that vaguely looks like a Westerner.His expression is serious and silent, his eyes are slightly closed, and he looks quite handsome.

To the right is an Emirati player with a big beard squatting there and praying silently.

Read on... Zhao Lin is not interested anymore, he doesn't have a strong body, he doesn't have that sense of strength, he doesn't have the aura that he should have when he goes on stage.

At this time, the referee signaled the athletes to prepare for the race, and everyone stepped forward, stood on the starting block, and got ready for the starting position.

After stepping on the starting block and kneeling behind the front running line, Zhao Lin's expression changed instantly, and all the ease and casualness disappeared.From the moment you set foot on the starting line, you have only one goal...

Raise your head slightly, and look at the blurry line a hundred meters away!Slowly lowering his head again, the strength of his whole body instantly condensed!It's not that he wants to treat opponents with caution, but that the coach's words have been deeply imprinted in his heart!
As if there was a sense, the contestants on the left and right looked at the one next to him in surprise.They knew that this was the champion of the new World Championships, and their strength was unquestionable.But this posture, this momentum still makes them a little scared, this is the world's top player!
Common international passwords.

Then the gunshots rang out, and at the moment the athletes rushed out, there were deafening shouts at the scene.Zhao Lin at the start didn't care about the cheers, he didn't know if it was for him or for that small local player.At this moment, all he knows is that he should speed up and run out of rhythm, one step, two steps...

You don't need to run to the limit, be familiar with your pace, and be able to adapt to maintain the pace and rhythm at any speed. This is training.The words of the coach are still in my ears!
He was in the leading position from the beginning of the run, and Zhao Lin focused on his pace, 31 steps, [-] steps, and he remained the same until the second half of the race when the lead was already large.

41 steps, 42 steps, 43 steps, 44 steps…

Bow your head, lean over, press the line, and take the last step!
10 seconds 06
After crossing the finish line, Zhao Lin turned his head to look at his results and stopped paying attention.Slightly closing his eyes, he recalled the process of running just now in his mind, this was taught by Brother Yang, he should recall it when the memory is still deep.After having a concept, the coach can have a deeper impression when he gives pointers. Next time, make up for the bad ones, and strengthen the strong ones!

……

At the same time, in the corner of the stands, the coach of the Japanese team, Susumu Takano looked at Zhao Lin who was standing quietly in the field.The assistant coach Koji Ito was also silent, with some depression in his heart.

After the start of the [-]-meter preliminaries, they have been watching from the stands. In the first few groups of matches, Gao Yejin often commented a few words, until Yang Zuyao appeared on the stage, Gao Yejin became silent, and now Zhao Lin has finished a game.Ito Koji, who knows his mentor very well, can already feel the coach's depression from body to heart.

"Ah~" Takano Jin sighed deeply, although he had expected it since he saw Yang Zuyao's match, but now that the facts are in front of him, he is still disappointed: "Ito-kun, this time we have no hope, If there is no change, it will be difficult for us to have hope in the next few years, or even a long time."

Reluctantly, Koji Ito said in relief: "Coach, although they ran well and easily, 10 and 06 are not very good. Our Japanese players are not hopeless..."

Shin Takano waved his hand and interrupted Koji Ito, "Ito, remember, we must admit our shortcomings at any time. What we need is hard work, hard work, and no false self-deception! The current situation is that , we are already behind! And not by a little bit!"

We are currently lagging behind... Koji Ito groaned and didn't know what to say, because he could also see that these Chinese athletes were gradually adjusting their technical movements and pace, and were moving more and more towards the combination of body and technology. .It was another big step forward compared to the World Championships.

Japanese culture has always believed in the strong and trampled on the weak like nothing. In Takano Susumu's view, it is not difficult to accept that he is inferior to the strong.

In just a few moments, Takano Jin opened his frown and smiled softly: "Ito-kun, this is a good thing, the Chinese people have found a road suitable for China, and we Japan can also see our own direction from it. Now we are all on the road, just like a long-distance running race, now Huaxia is leading, but the one who crosses the finish line first is the strong one!"

"Hai!" Ito Koji bowed his head respectfully and said yes. After standing up, he looked at the young man in the field who was still meditating with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but think of that name - Lin Mu, was it him?
……

The area where the Chinese delegation is located.

The coaches and athletes of the Chinese track and field team, who are missed by many people, do not feel too much.At this time, they were quite relaxed.It has been relaxed from before the game started until now, and the occasional applause and cheering actions of the athletes who are not participating seem a bit casual.

Most of the delegation members who came to the Philippines this time have experienced the thrilling World Championship stage, and they have been nervous and excited for their own athletes who are among the world's best players.Now in such a arena, there are no such heart-wrenching and exciting scenes to watch, and there are indeed missing elements that can ignite one's heart.

As expected, and within reason, the preliminaries were not what they considered.

Leaning on the guardrail in front of the stands, he looked at the staff who were already cleaning up the field.Yu Weili reached out and touched his bare head out of habit.He was still a little worried at first, but now he had given up most of his mental arithmetic!
Although the Asian Championships cannot compare with the World Championships in terms of scale and grade, for the leaders and coaches of the track and field delegation this time, the pressure is even greater than that of the World Championships. The current situation and society in the Philippines Public security is not good, and one of them is worrying about the athletes.Fortunately, the athletes are relatively obedient and do a good job in restraint.

A more important aspect is the Asian Championships held last year. The Huaxia Track and Field Team broke a record and won 26 golds, 13 silvers and 3 bronzes. It still shows the absolute status of the Asian track and field hegemony. Although it is a bit lame, the medals The total is no less than true.Now, just the next year, if the results of this Asian Championships are much worse than last time, how will the track and field team explain to the leaders and the people of the country.

Fortunately, the men's sprint, who didn't gain much in the last session, rushed out. Although it was only the [-]-meter preliminaries, he is a professional coach after all. How can he not see what the Japanese can see!
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Liu, and Lao Meng, I observed the preliminaries just now, and there are still a few players from other countries with good strength. But we have all the strengths, and the athletes are in good condition. As long as they are not too relaxed, take There is still a lot of hope for cards. The Asian Championships is both a competition and a training session. It is best to be able to hold cards and train your team. Hehe!"

Yu Liwei retracted his hand and put it behind his back, and said casually: "This Xiao Zhao is doing well now. Before the game started, I saw that he was acting casually, as if he was going to stroll on the street. Unexpectedly, as soon as the order came out, he immediately stopped. It’s great to be back!”

Yu Weili was very pleased. He heard and felt Lin Mu's "heart" again and again. He had always valued will and quality, but now he paid more attention to it. This is what a good athlete should have. Look, this is what a good coach should teach the athletes to look like!

"The Japanese players in Xiao Chen's group are still quite capable, and they did well in terms of technique, but their physical coordination is still a bit lacking. Also, that player from Saudi Arabia. I just watched them retain their skills in the preliminaries. There are still some..."

Lin Mu made a simple analysis. Compared with the gold and silver medals, he was more concerned about the possible bronze medal competition under normal circumstances.Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, although they haven't run out of their prime yet, but based on their results, they are already favorable contenders for the championship and runner-up!

As for the bad running after losing the chain, Lin Mu is still confident that he won't.The change of mentality and the assistance of Encyclopedia are all guaranteed.After an athlete's strength reaches a certain level, no matter how easy he runs, it is impossible for him to break the skyline.

On the contrary, if Chen Jianhai wants to win the top three, whether Chen Jianhai can beat the Japanese and Saudi players will have to work hard.He is not Chen Jianhai's head coach, and it is impossible for him to say anything about these things.He believed that Meng Shaoqiang could also see it.

"It does have some strength, Xiao Chen's pressure is not small..." Meng Shaoqiang could hear the meaning of Lin Mu's words, he didn't care, the fact is that's the case.Before the competition, what he and Chen Jianhai considered was to compete for the top three, and of course it was only the top three.He didn't think that Chen Jianhai had the strength to challenge Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao. As for the two playing abnormally, Meng Shaoqiang immediately vetoed it.The athletes led by Lin Mu are too stable!
In the just-concluded National Championships, Chen Jianhai ran 10 seconds, which was his personal best and considered a big breakthrough for himself.However, sprinting is affected by the venue environment, personal status, psychological factors, etc., and you cannot run at your best every time.But no matter how bad the results were, he still didn't believe that someone who could run within 16 seconds would be so casual as to run beyond 10 seconds and 10 seconds. That was not running, it was walking!
"Xiao Lin, we all have a rough idea of ​​Xiao Chen's strength. The opponents we are facing now, those from Saudi Arabia and Japan, according to your observation. Where can we go if we run out of normal state?" Yu Weiligang has never been too reassured, because He felt that he had great hopes for the championship and second place, but after listening to Lin Mu and Meng Shaoqiang's words, he suddenly remembered that he could take the top three.

"Yes, Xiao Lin, please analyze it. You are known as 'Fire Eyes' in the team. I have seen you a few times. Now tell us..."

The words of Yu Weili and Liu Ren reminded the people around them. In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Lin Mu!
