just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 231 Entering the finals
"6 seconds 55, Shen from Dongfang Huaxia easily won the first place in this group of preliminaries..."

On the TV screen, the indoor track and field of the Budapest Gymnasium, Shen Huan raised his right hand high and closed his eyes slightly, cooperating with the live broadcast of the event host, and it was transmitted to many corners of Europe through the TV signal...

Then the picture freezes, the camera changes, a studio with a Hungarian TV station icon in the background, and the figure of the host appears on the screen.

"Good afternoon everyone... I am very glad to be able to explain this World Indoor Athletics Championships... Before the program starts, please allow me to introduce to you... The group of pictures played before the program just ended in the morning. The scene of the second group of the men's 60m preliminaries of the [-]nd Indoor Athletics Championships...

The athlete with an oriental face in the picture is called Shen Huan, a 20-year-old player from Oriental Huaxia.His score in the preliminaries was 6 seconds, although this result seems to be some distance from the world's top, even far from the world record of 55 seconds.But when the program was considering the arrangement, we deliberately chose such a scene as the opening...

The spirit of competitive sports lies in higher, faster and stronger, and its charm lies in constantly challenging the limits of human beings...

10 seconds for 60 meters, 6 seconds for 5 meters, 200 seconds for 20 meters, 400 seconds for 45 meters, the limit defined by countless people is being broken again and again.And as the yellow race who has always been defined by various ethnographic theories, it is the most impossible to realize... Sorry, please forgive me for using such a word...

In August last year, at the World Championships in Paris, athletes from Eastern Huaxia, zhao and yang, broke the 8-second mark for the 10 meters and 200 seconds for the 20 meters. Inspired by this spirit...

After the preliminaries in the morning, Zhao, who broke the 10-second mark, and another Chinese athlete named Shen came on the stage, and easily entered the semi-finals with two scores within 6 seconds.When we lament the rapid development of the ancient eastern country in the sprint event, we may need to think more deeply, maybe we can find some insights...

Alright, next, let’s review the game in the morning... Before the live broadcast of the game starts, let’s make a forecast. The afternoon’s schedule will start at 14:60, which will be the highlight of today’s game, the men’s [-]-meter semi-final. The three Chinese people who created miracles will appear again, and we look forward to seeing them join Jason Gardner, Lewis Francis, Francis Obokvilu, Sean Crawford, Grimes and many other famous players. duel between...

Then there will be the women's triple jump final and the women's 60-meter final, and finally at 18 o'clock in the evening, it will be the pinnacle of the men's 60-meter final...The competition is about to start, let's turn our attention to the Budapest Stadium..."

The voice fell, and the TV screen was switched to the indoor track and field stadium of the Budapest Stadium.

……

14:05pm

Check-in area lounge of the Budapest Arena.

The 60 contestants in the second group of the men's 8m race semi-final are sitting quietly in the preparation room, waiting for the next game.

Occasionally, there will always be one or two eyes casually looking at another corner.

There was a display device where he could see the live picture. The pictures of the first group of players who had already played were appearing on the monitor, but what really interested him was not the picture at all, but the one who was staring at the monitor at the moment. people.

The yellow-skinned young man won the world championship in 9 seconds. What an explosion of luck!While envious, they are even more jealous!
Zhao Lin, who was staring at the screen closely, didn't care about other people's eyes that seemed to be there or not, or had inexplicable meanings.In one World Championships, he ran four rounds and took two relay rounds. He encountered these strange eyes not once or twice in the same competition.Just like the coach said, the athlete's path is made by his own feet, and other people's eyes can't influence him.

"On your marks."

"set!"

Although there was no on-site sound in the screen, Zhao Lin observed their situation, and silently recited the passwords for preparation and preparation, which almost matched the situation on the spot.

In the picture, at the competition site, in front of the 60-meter starting line, with a cloud of white mist rising, 8 contestants rushed out instantly!

For a moment, in the preparation room, the people who were just paying attention at first became more focused.

Zhao Lin clenched his fists unconsciously, took a light breath, and didn't exhale it for a long time, his eyes were focused on it.

To be honest, every time he watched his teammates play, he was more nervous than when he played himself.

He regards the coach's words as a standard, and always keeps in mind that when he is on the track, he is running with himself.So when he was playing, it was more just a little internal rivalry, nervous?Really very few.

He has had honors and won many championships. After each game, he feels that his current mentality has been adjusted very well.But every time I watch my teammates play, there are always some kinds of concerns and chaos.

Yes!care!Now there are naturally targets he cares about on the track, Shen Bao and that one.

Big brother Shen Bao, Zhao Lin really doesn't care much subconsciously, Chong's current attitude of enjoying the game can be said to be hard work without desire!

The main thing is who...

Even though every time he talked about Shen Huan, he always screamed in his heart that he was a dwarf, that one.But the real situation, how he feels about Shen Huan, even he himself can't explain clearly.

The first teammate in his career, his feeling is very subtle.They are all similar identities that others don't want, which made him feel a little closer when he first joined the team.What's more, they are the first batch of disciples of the coach.Even though Shen Huan had been lukewarm during that time, he never took it to heart.

What really made him hate it was because he almost "betrayed" the coach, failed the coach's training and expectations for him, and gave up both himself and the coach.

After a few months, the coach seems to have forgiven him. Just like the coach said, he respects everyone's philosophy of life and the path he chooses. As long as he is sincere and dedicated to his work, it is recognized by the coach. people……

That's what the coach said, and that's what he did.Later, the coach really didn't care about Shen Huan's past, as long as he asked the coach, the coach would help.In Nanhu, help him train, return to the team, and help him find his way.Even coach Liu Ren often had to ask the coach about Shen Huan's questions, and the coach never refused.

Zhao Lin changed his attitude slightly while lamenting the "greatness" of the coach.But no matter what his attitude was, it was impossible for Zhao Lin to be completely innocent.On the day he didn't see "that who" sincerely apologized to the coach, he wouldn't let it go completely.

At home, he will still target him from time to time. Of course, abroad, these grievances can be put aside for the time being.At this time, he and him represent no longer themselves, but the five-star red flag printed on their chests.

Of course, in Zhao Lin's consciousness, they also represent the coach's inheritance, perhaps even more important, at least equally important.He includes him on the field now, representing the coach's original philosophy and the will of the coach.Since we have benefited from the teaching and training of the coach, we have the responsibility to maintain this will.

Although Shen Huan is not in charge of the coach now, who in the national team does not know, who did Shen Huan learn and practice from?

It was just the moment when thoughts raced around in my mind, and in the picture, the contestants in the first group had already run half way.Zhao Lin, who was staring closely, didn't miss a single detail, and felt powerful from the bottom of his heart. He also admired Shen Huan and Shen Bao who could compete with them.

Long before coming to Europe, the coach said that from this moment on, you have officially entered the era of sprinting!In the future, we will face powerful opponents one after another. No matter whether it is good or bad, we must maintain our heart, break through and surpass!
In the preliminaries, including the two Shen, he didn't encounter any strong opponents, but he never doubted what the coach said.At noon, he asked someone in the team to learn more about the opponents who entered the semi-finals. After learning about it, he was even more sure of what the coach said.

Sean Crawford, 200 meters special, American star, but the 60 meters and 60 meters are also very strong.Briton Francis, last year's new European [-]-meter champion, ranked fourth in the [-]-meter Birmingham Indoor Race. He is also an excellent short-distance athlete, and it is these two people who are competing with Shen Huan and Shen Bao on the field at this time .

You run really well. Is this kind of road suitable for you? Explosion, strength, stride frequency and stride length, what can the coach plan for you be wrong?

"it is good!"

As the contestants in the first group of the semi-finals crossed the finish line one after another, Zhao Lin couldn't help standing up and shouting hello!Shen Huan and Crawford crossed the finish line at the same time, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, and Shen Bao followed closely behind. The gap was really small.The top three came out, Shen Huan and Shen Bao successfully advanced to the final, it doesn't matter who is first and who is second.

"Player No. 1466, please keep quiet..." Following Zhao Lin's roar, the assistant referee in the preparation room issued a warning.

In almost all world competitions, there is a set of rules in the inspection area, and the first rule is not to disturb others.Physical, verbal, and even facial influences are included.Track and field is an intense sport, and sometimes athletes who look like gentlemen use body movements and words to interfere with others. This is common in many other confrontational sports, but it is impossible to appear in track and field.

At least it was a warning, and at the worst it was directly disqualified from the competition. Now, Zhao Lin received a warning with his loud voice.

"Sau Rui, Sao Rui..." Zhao Lin, who could already understand a few words vaguely, hastily apologized in his unfamiliar Chinese English.He doesn't want to cause surprises in the game because of these small things.

"Hehe~ You are quite an interesting kid, you are so young!"

Sitting quietly in a corner, Jason Gardner looked at Zhao Lin who kept apologizing, and smiled silently.After laughing, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

In this competition, if you ask who is most familiar with Zhao Lin, he is undoubtedly at the forefront.After entering the inspection area, the athletes didn't have much communication, and he just met each other's eyes, which was regarded as a greeting to each other.

In the World Championships, he failed to enter the semi-finals in individual events, and did not meet Zhao Lin, but in the relay competition, they competed for a whole game.In the final stage, they lost.He'll have enough respect for someone who can beat them in any serious game.

Moreover, he was even more admirable that the yellow Chinese, who were considered to be the weakest in terms of explosiveness and strength, could do this.This is no longer simply explained by hard work and talent!
Thinking of the relay and the loss, Gardner felt a little heavy in his heart unconsciously.After honing and cooperating for so many years, when I thought I could gain something, accidents appeared again and again.As for this year's Olympic Games, he has high hopes, but the current reality cannot help him not to be heavy.

Campbell is a year older, his game is going from bad to worse, and Chambers, that idiot, is about to be suspended.Francis, who was originally assigned to replace the position, was very uncertain about whether he could carry it from the performance of the game just now.

"Work harder, you can only watch while walking!" After a silent sigh, Gardner returned to his previous appearance.

"Hehe~" Sitting down again, Zhao Lin patted his head in embarrassment when he met those smiling eyes.

"The players are ready to play..." The assistant referee received instructions from the front, and the players in the second group of the semi-finals can start to appear.

They got up one after another and followed the staff in a single file. The 8 contestants in the second group of the semi-final walked to the field.

Walking in the middle of the team, as he got closer to the arena, Zhao Lin gradually entered the game state.The emotions in my heart were gradually thrown away.

Enter, prepare, introduce players, and prepare for the referee's instructions!

Zhao Lin, who had already entered the state, leaned over and squatted in front of the starting block following the sound of the ready password!
"Who's whole starting rhythm, it seems that I can try it. The coach shouldn't say anything, right?! Didn't the coach say that, as long as my pace is not chaotic, the technique can be fully utilized. In the process The adjustment, you need to grasp it yourself!"

"Then give it a try. Thinking about always touching the limit, I can still cope with this attempt."

Although 60 meters and 44 meters are both the shortest distances in sprints, there are still some differences.And he knew that he only ran down rigidly according to the rhythm and frequency of 45-[-] steps in the [-] meters, and he was not competitive at all.

His group is equally strong, mainly due to those acquaintances, who are also the strong players he has learned in this competition.

Gardner, who met in the World Championships last year, and Levin won their Grimes a few days ago.Also in Levin, France, he met Obikveru.

He said hello excitedly just now, not only because his teammates entered the finals, but also because he saw what he can do.

After making a decision, Zhao Lin quickly reorganized his thoughts and used a higher speed explosive technique to play.He was sure, he should be able to do it. 60 meters is not 200 meters or [-] meters. In the second half, he is confident that he can maintain it with his physical endurance.

"Then do it!"

"Set."

"boom!"

The gunfire of the second group of the semi-finals rang out.

Game start!
At the moment of the gunshot, Zhao Lin's body suddenly exerted strength and started quickly.Gardner, Grimes and Obikveru on the runways on both sides of him were equally quick.

The difference in the starting reaction is so small that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.Now Zhao Lin, it was not the time when he had to rely on extraordinary bursts to keep up with others when he started running.Lin Mu has been grinding his start, his attributes and nerve response, never stopped.

After the adjustment of Wikipedia, the new skill slightly enhances the reaction to the start, which makes his start further strengthened.Now he really has the starting reaction speed that a top sprinter should have!

With only two steps, the gap between the players is also very small.

Maintaining explosive movements, kicking the ground, and swinging the legs forward can not lose the rhythm. This is the core key to the training given to me by the coach!
Regardless of the stride and frequency, Zhao Lin knows that these technical aspects of posture must be maintained.Otherwise, the technical running-in that the coach gave him would be meaningless.

Do not deliberately emphasize the stride length, but increase the stride frequency as fast as possible, and strive for the fastest speed to reach high speed. The first ten meters is the key.

The starting stride that Lin Mu gave him was big and powerful, and he was able to save and explode.It is conceivable that when running 100 meters, it may be the first half or 40 meters. At this stage, the overall speed will be slightly lower, but the overall efficiency can basically be equal to or even slightly exceeded by relying on large strides.

In this way, relying on the accumulation of the first half, the second half can completely push the body speed to the extreme.And it can also effectively maintain the speed for a longer distance, giving full play to his existing absolute speed advantage!

But in this way, it is obviously weak for 60 meters. The half-distance of 60 meters is too short, and it is necessary to properly speed up the early frequency during the starting process, and perhaps control the stride to achieve coordination, and run at the highest speed in a shorter distance as much as possible.

This is equivalent to reducing a complete 60-meter running speed rhythm change process to [-] meters through a general scale standard, and the entire rhythm curve will be clear.

No wonder coaches say athletes need to learn to think!
In the live TV screen at this time.

"The game has begun!"

"Obikviru, Zhao, Gardner, Grimes..." The names of several athletes were quickly announced from the commentator's mouth, and his voice was also advancing towards the finish line along with the pictures on the TV .

"Gardner took the lead, Zhao, he caught up, the gap is very small, crossed the line! Let's see who, who wins this group of games, who is faster..."

On the field, the contestants quickly crossed the finish line, and then a series of sounds sounded, and at the buffer point prepared by the event organizer, the 8 athletes threw themselves into the embrace of the cushion like dumplings.

"6 seconds 52, the result is out! The British player Gardner won the first place in the group, while Zhao from China, he ran a better result than the preliminaries, 6 seconds 53, only 0.01 behind and ranked second in the group. This is also his personal best result in this project, and he once again surpassed himself...

Yes, surpass, the process of the game is too fast, maybe the audience friends didn't watch it carefully, let's watch the replay..."

In the screen, the short game time of 6 or 7 seconds was slowed down as much as possible, and the signal was transmitted to many corners!
In the screen, Gardner with a grim face, and Zhao Lin with an equally grim face, are showing their explosive power, strength and speed competition!
