just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 232 Before the Finals
Budapest Arena

A buffer zone 60 meters away from the finish line of the 30-meter race.

Holding the cushion cushion in his hand, Jason Gardner just turned his head slightly to look at the results displayed on the live screen, and didn't pay any more attention.He didn't spare much energy this trip, and the promotion was expected. As for the first or second place, it doesn't matter now.

After one glance, he immediately turned his gaze back, and looked at Zhao Lin who was leaning there motionless, as if in meditation, with some surprise.

"It's really a bit of a surprise, and a bit of a surprise!"

He watched all the videos from the World Championships. He also asked people to watch the videos of his main opponents in the preliminaries. As a former opponent, Zhao Lin, how could he not watch them.

As a result, he lamented that Zhao Lin's performance was different from last year, and his skills were maturing.However, he also believes that in the 60 meters, with such a rhythm, Zhao Lin can pose little threat to him.Including the other two Chinese players, and even the two from the United States, he has a certain degree of self-confidence.

But just now, he experienced a situation different from what he remembered.Although he still finished the starting speed ahead of his opponent and entered the high-speed run, he knew that Zhao Lin's starting speed was much faster than that in the preliminaries.Coupled with the considerable speed during the journey, it created a big "surprise" for him.

Although it seems that I just slightly adjusted the starting rhythm and made it more explosive, all I did was speed up the frequency of my steps and then control the length of my steps.

But what seems simple, actually requires a lot of conditions, all of which require absolute physical fitness to support.People say that sprinting is the most physical exercise, but it's not just a casual talk.

"...The semi-finals of the men's 60m race are all over, it is really a fierce competition. Let us congratulate Jason Gardner, and let us congratulate Zhao, congratulations...I am now looking forward to the final at 18:60 tonight , who will become the men's [-]m champion of our indoor track and field championship..."

The live host aroused the enthusiasm of the audience and looked forward passionately. Gardner turned a deaf ear to the voices outside him, and now he just wanted to take a closer look!In other words, he wanted to find some affirmation of what had always been in his heart.

Gardner is not a pure black, he is of West African descent and Hispanic mixed race.In terms of genes, he has inherited the good physical talents of the blacks, and he also has excellent athletic talents.

From a very young age, he started to make his mark, and now he is currently ranked as the number one sprinter in the UK and the world.But it is only the top number, it seems that because of some shackles, he is still some distance away from the real top.

While not giving up and continuing to train hard, he has also thought about nature and nurture countless times, but he is always a little confused.Especially when progress feels slow or even stagnant...

Maybe Coach Neville is right, anything is possible, the only difference is how far it is from the possibility!

……

sidelines,

The area where the Huaxia delegation is located,

Compared with the rest of the audience, which has been noisy from the beginning of the game to the end now, the place where several coaches gather here seems a little quiet after the game.

In other words, they were slightly shocked by the two semi-final matches just now, and they have to digest it!

It doesn't seem too surprising that all three of them entered the final. Since they were able to run within 6 seconds, they were all mentally prepared.Usually in the world indoor arena, except for a few times, 60-6 seconds is always a relatively normal performance range.

But Zhao Lin's run just now...

"Director Lin, Xiao Zhao's situation was temporarily arranged by you?!" Yuan Guohua slowed down, and took the lead in expressing the doubts in his heart.

He was very surprised. At present, he does not have a full-time leader, which is equivalent to Lin Mu's first deputy. As early as the post-winter training stage, the training plan arrangements have been conveyed from him.

For all the athletes in the team, including Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, he knows all about their training plans and techniques.Therefore, he knew very well that at least before Europe, Lin Mu had never asked Zhao Lin to adjust the starting pace for the 60-meter run.

But now the facts are in front of his eyes. In the preliminaries in the morning, Zhao Lin ran quite well, which is also the performance he should have.But just now, as long as some professional people can clearly see that Zhao Lin's starting speed has changed.Even if you don't have professional knowledge, you can tell something by just looking at the frequency. The frequency of Zhao Lin's legs is much faster than in the morning.

"This kid, it's interesting! Hehe!" Lin Mu shook his head and smiled. He still hasn't realized it yet. Zhao Lin's run this time was really not arranged by him.If he arranges it, he will definitely design it more carefully, and it will take some time to strengthen the memory.

What is lacking now is time, so Lin Muke has never thought about what to do with Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao at this stage for the indoor competitions that are only a few games a year.

"This kid, I figured it out on my own, it's a bit rough!" Lin Mu smiled and explained to the people next to him, "But with this physique here, the results are not bad."

He talked about the results very plainly, and he didn't pay much attention to the results, nor was he angry because of Zhao Lin's presumptuous claims. Athletes should have their own thoughts.And wanting to get better grades is even more understandable.

However, I still have to remind him later that there are some things that can be tried, but not hasty and blind.This time, I just changed the starting pace, shortened the stride length, and increased the frequency. Let alone whether the efficiency is good or not, at least all aspects of the body can support it.What if you suddenly want to increase your stride length, increase your stride delivery and force your feet?That can easily damage the body.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but become a little solemn.He can use encyclopedia to repair the injury, but the injury itself will inevitably have an impact on the athlete's psychology.

What's more, doing it casually, without planning, should not be the performance that a mature athlete should have, this is the key!He could tell that Zhao Lin definitely didn't make the rhythm change after thinking for a long time. If it had happened earlier, he couldn't have missed it. Zhao Lin couldn't hide anything from him!

"Director Yu, coaches, I'll go over there to meet you!" After greeting the people around him, Lin Mu was about to go to the passageway.

"Coach Lin, wait!" Lin Mu took a step, and Yu Weili quickly stopped him.

He was a little slow to react just now, and didn't speak until Lin Mu was about to leave.For Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao, there was some change of rhythm, which did not make him like this. The main reason was that he was thinking about it, and even thought of many things that had been regarded as laws in the country and even in the world.

For example, West Africans and West African descendants are suitable for sprinting, while East Africans are suitable for middle and long-distance running. This is based on the overall quality of the body to analyze and conclude.

For another example, in sprint events, those with high frequency, strong bursts, and relatively short stature are suitable for short distances, while those with tall legs and long legs, which are not conducive to short-distance starting speed, are more suitable for longer distance sprint events.

Of course, these are certainly not absolute, and it is not ruled out that the existence of extraordinary talents can break these laws.But speaking of it, there is still merit in the truth.

However, in the semi-finals just now, his own athletes created two extremes for him on the latter common sense.The short one is walking towards the big one more and more, while the tall one also used the rhythm of the small one to run with a high efficiency.This made me think more about it!

Gifted?It didn't exist, at least he didn't think that the two people who were picked up by Lin Mu at first by such a coincidence happened to have such contrasting talents.Now he understands, regardless of the previous shock or joy, the fact is already like this.

In the final analysis, it may be like what Lin Mu said, the body is the guarantee of all techniques and rhythms. It is a truth that everyone understands, but it really needs to be brought into play.It may not be that simple!

"I guess it was not your arrangement for Xiao Zhao to run like this! Are you going to talk about Xiao Zhao?" Yu Weili stopped Lin Mu back and said with a smile: "But overall, the effect is not bad. Athletes want to have a good We still have to be sure of our achievement, although..."

"Uh~ Director Yu, where are you going?!" Lin Mu smiled wryly.

Yu Weili looked at Lin Mu's expression, and asked with some uncertainty: "Huh? Didn't you criticize?"

Originally, the team and he generally would not intervene in how the head coach manages the athletes.But Lin Mu, Zhao Lin, and Yang Zuyao are different now after all.Whether it's for Lin Mu or the two athletes, the team doesn't want even the slightest accident to happen.

"What are you criticizing? You and everyone else know that I have always advocated that athletes should have their own thinking and judgment..."

The people next to him nodded almost at the same time. It was Lin Mu who was the first to say that he would not let the athletes be a competition machine, and he seemed to have always maintained this attitude towards the athletes.

"Then what are you?" Yu Weili knew that Lin Mu would rarely pick up and drop off athletes during the competition stage. In his impression, there seemed to be only two times.

"Oh, I didn't specially adjust the rhythm of the 60 meters for him, but it was just to make him less distracted. The stable running-in of technical movements and posture is already a lot of pressure!"

"But the athletes want to have a good result and take the initiative to seek a change in rhythm. I definitely support it! However, some things still need to be prevented before they happen..."

Lin Mu's words made everyone a little puzzled. If this is the case, what troubles are there to prevent?Do you disagree, or do you care about athletes making their own decisions?Just after thinking about it, I vetoed it!Sun Ping and Coach Lu don't know much about it, but they do.From the fact that Lin Mu was able to accompany Yang Zuyao for such a long time, one can be sure that Lin Mu is not such a person!
Without waiting for them to express their doubts, Lin Mu continued to explain: "Actually, it's a precaution, but it's just a reminder. I'm thinking about finding solutions at any time. It may seem a little urgent..."

"The technique of sprinting is actually simple and simple, but it needs the support of the body after all. If you can support it, then changing the rhythm is at most a matter of time. Therefore, most of the time, I arrange different degrees of improvement according to the actual situation of my body. .

But if you can't support it or barely support it, it will be difficult to change it, and it can only be a disaster if you force it.I just reminded him to analyze and consider more carefully before making a decision.At present, Xiao Zhao only has the achievements and body of an excellent athlete, but he does not have the background and awareness of an excellent athlete..."

"Let's not talk about it, I'll go there first, and I'll go back to the rest area when I turn around. There are only more than 3 hours before the final, and the time is not too much. There are some things, let's talk later!"

"Lin...Director Lin...forget it!" Liu Ren hurriedly shouted out, just a title, but finally didn't say anything.He wanted to talk about Shen Huan and see if Lin Mu could offer some advice, but considering the people next to him, he had no choice but to give up for now.

When Liu Ren yelled, Lin Mu had already walked several meters away, and no one stopped him this time.Hearing Liu Ren's words, he just turned his head slightly, waved his hands, and walked through the crowd into the hallway in a few steps.

Seeing Lin Mu leaving in a hurry, Yu Weili couldn't help laughing.In his impression, it was rare for Lin Mu to appear in such a hurry.

Now it's just because I have to remind him quickly, it seems that it's a bit of a fuss.But if you think about it, it seems that such a thing should be the correct attitude.Often many things are determined by small details.

Seeing Lin Mu's back turning left and right and disappearing from sight, Sun Ping came back to his senses.

What Lin Mu said just now made him think a lot.

Turning his head and looking to the other side, his best disciple was chatting and laughing with several athletes at the moment.

With the further optimization of technology and the gradual development of the body, the current results are getting better and better, but as Lin Mu said.He also realized that the current Liu Xiang has the body of a top athlete, but does not have the consciousness of a top athlete.

Perhaps, from the beginning, I seem to have overlooked a lot.But it shouldn't be too late now, right? !Sun Ping murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

……

"Zhao Lin!"

At the entrance of the passage, seeing Zhao Lin approaching with a thoughtful face, Lin Mu shouted!
"Coach~"

The familiar voice suddenly brought him back to his senses, and when they looked at each other, it turned out to be the coach, who was smiling as calmly as usual.Zhao Lin felt half relieved.

After a few quick steps, Zhao Lin walked up to the coach.The heart that the other half has not let go is still hanging at this moment!

As soon as the game was over, he was just pleasantly surprised for a few seconds, and then began to feel uneasy!Afterwards, some reporters and media interviews rushed over, but he just dealt with it hastily!
This was the first time he decided to do something on his own without the advice of a coach.Although he made it to the finals and his results looked good, he knew that the coach never cared about the results in these processes.

He was a little unsure what the coach would think. He thought he was always an obedient person, but he was not like Brother Yang. He was still complaining about Brother Yang in his heart, but when he turned around, he seemed to be even more outrageous, and would suddenly "attack". !

"Haha~" Lin Mu gave a rare hearty smile, and patted Zhao Lin's shoulder lightly, "Let's go, let's go back to the lounge first, let's talk by the way! Let Lao Bai relax for you after we go back. Running, isn't it easy?"

"Well, I'm quite tired. I feel a little more tired than I did running [-] meters before!"

Following behind the coach and turning half his body sideways, Zhao Lin replied honestly.

He has nothing to hide in front of the coach, and the coach's eyesight never needs to be doubted.Moreover, what he hopes is that the coach can help him guide him, and he believes that the coach can help him.

It just seems to turn back again, the attitude of the coach is the key.Thinking of this, Zhao Lin could not help but take a weak look.

"How did you think of using their starting pace? Well, there are more people who are close to Shen Huan. You watched their games and thought about it?"

Walking slowly, Lin Mu turned his head slightly and asked.In fact, he was very sure of the answer, and he was just opening a conversation. He could see that Zhao Lin seemed quite nervous now.

"Uh, I just feel that if I follow the rhythm of my normal running-in now, when I get up to full speed..." Zhao Lin still answered honestly.Halfway back, I met the coach's gaze.

"Haha, don't worry about this. First of all, I want to tell you that you have a good idea. Not only will I not say you are wrong, I will also praise you!"

Lin Mu nodded affirmatively at Zhao Lin, "You have been training with me for more than a year. You have never understood it until now. Although you have achieved a lot of results. But how do you say it?

At the beginning, I was not counted as an athlete, but at best a runner.Later at the World Championships, after some baptism, as I said, you are already a real Chinese national team athlete!

So what now?A qualified athlete should strive to be better. Results are of course very important, but they are not everything.What a truly outstanding athlete has should not be just the data of his sports career in just a dozen years..."
