just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 241 Tryouts Begin

April 5

Bac Ha

Shimen City Chang'an Stadium
In the stands, there are [-] fixed seats, and today's attendance rate exceeds [-]%.

The attendance rate is not particularly high, but for the National Athletics Championships (Beihe) to be held here today, this is a rare "spectacle".Also in this venue, in September last year, less than 9% of the people who came to watch it.

Because of the brilliance in track and field last year and the many guidance from all parties, the atmosphere in track and field in China, which has always been very cold, has finally improved.

Most of the time, the National Athletics Championships are also the qualifying preliminaries for many other competitions, and this time is no exception.As the domestic trials for the No.20 Eighth Summer Olympics, this competition is also one of the reasons for attracting attention.

The schedule of this competition is roughly the same as before, with a three-day schedule, with games in the morning and evening every day.Due to its nature, the requirements for registration are much higher.Except for the athletes who have won the Olympic AB standard, the other qualified athletes are the athletes who have performed outstandingly in this domestic event in the past two years and the athletes who have been recommended by the group.

Many of the top domestic athletes gathered, attracting the attention of the crowd.At the same time, many well-known domestic media, including CCTV, also jumped in. They will broadcast the whole event in three days.

Early in the morning, Lin Mu and his team arrived at the stadium.

After rushing to Shimen yesterday and staying in the hotel arranged by the event organizer, the team has already been to the stadium to familiarize themselves with the venue.

The appearance of such a team like them immediately attracted the attention of many media and some track and field enthusiasts. The two hours of familiarization with the venue were intermittent and interrupted by people pushing over from time to time.This also made them feel a little helpless.

This is still the case today. As soon as it appeared, it gained enough attention. Compared with yesterday, because more viewers joined in, it seemed to be much more enthusiastic.

They accepted the pre-match interviews separately, and until the morning game officially started, the group of talents was finally liberated, everyone took their positions, and everything was finally on the right track!

On the sidelines, in the stands near the finish line.

The coaches of the National Relay Team gathered together. At this moment, both Lin Mu and others seemed relatively relaxed. The only thing that mattered to them in the morning race was the men's [-]-meter preliminaries.It hasn't even started yet.

Because of the small number of participants, the events involved in the entire selection competition are relatively easy in terms of schedule.22 men participated in the men's 18m. The morning of the first day of the trial was the preliminaries. The top two plus the two best scores in the group entered the final. The final began at 30:[-] in the evening.

The 200-meter rule is the same, and the number of people is similar. The schedule is the preliminaries in the afternoon of the second day and the final in the afternoon of the third day.

The race schedule is very easy, and the only one who is under a lot of pressure is Zhu Kun, because he submitted the 200-meter and 400-meter races. The 400-meter preliminaries are today, and the finals are tomorrow night. There is only a 200-hour difference between the 3-meter preliminaries.

Talking about some topics easily, and occasionally making some comments on the game and the situation of the players on the field, the time passed quickly.

"Coach Chen, to let athletes learn to adapt to the competition, we coaches must also learn to adapt. And..." Chen Guobin seemed to be very tight all morning, so Yuan Guohua moved closer and said something softly.

In fact, he knew that Chen Guobin had been nervous since he got the schedule yesterday.It's just a match, it shouldn't be like this at all, in his mind, maybe it's because it really involves his own body that makes him nervous.

Perhaps it was more because of applying for a project that was not originally planned by the national team and the relay team. Chen Guobin was worried that it would really affect each other, and he was worried about gains and losses!

I believe all the coaches on the team could see it, but no one, including Lin Mu, said anything to Chen Guobin.After all, there are some things that you still have to slowly understand through factual experience.

But after coming to the scene today, Yuan Guohua felt that it was better to point out that Chen Guobin's condition might affect the athletes.As Lin Mu's deputy and a role like a big steward in the team, he felt that he had the responsibility to think more about the interests of the entire team.Lin Mu should take the initiative to do things that are convenient or inconvenient for Lin Mu.

They were together before, but he didn't say anything, but now that the [-]-meter preliminaries are about to start, other coaches, including Lin Mu, are also going to arrange the preparations for the athletes, so he opened his mouth.

"Moreover, as the old saying goes, coaches and athletes complement each other. But more often than not, the coach is the dominant determinant. In a mature and excellent team, the temperament of its head coach will inevitably have a profound impact on all members of the team. This naturally also includes athletes.

Just like our director Lin, can you imagine any important champion athlete like Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yang?Which championship team member can face people from other teams with such an open attitude?
Even if it is merged into the relay team now, look at the small teams of other coaches now.You have never been in the national team before, but I can tell you that no coaching team or athlete team has been so open before. In the final analysis, I think you understand the reason! "

"Coach Yuan, I understand!" Chen Guobin nodded seriously, of course he understands that if he was in the provincial team before, if he wanted to see the training records of other coaches, it would be almost impossible unless he asked the leader to directly press him down. .

"I'm telling you this, not to let you know that these facts exist. The main thing is to tell you that athletes are the media of the team, but as a supervisor, they are indeed the decisive factors that can affect the athletes. At any time, the coach It is necessary to establish a positive image for the athletes and establish a correct guidance. And you are not in a good state now..."

"Thank you, Coach Yuan!" Chen Guobin thanked him sincerely and exhaled softly.

"Hehe, don't think my old Yuan is long-winded." Yuan Guohua chuckled and waved his hands casually, "Just like what I said when we first met, you and Zhu Kun were called by Director Lin. You must have something approved by Director Lin.

Although entering the national team does not mean anything, but in the past, there were very few athletes who could enter the national team just because of a city games champion, and even fewer coaches who could join the team with them...

It is good to have an idea, but you must do it practically, put your ideas into practice, and don't disappoint your expectations... Just like Director Lin, because of Mr. Gu's strong recommendation, he won the opportunity and he did not disappoint.

Now, one year has passed, who would say that Director Lin is what he is today because of the support of others, maybe people will only say that gold will shine sooner or later..."

"Alright, the [-]-meter race is about to start, let's watch the race!" Looking at Chen Guobin who seemed to be thinking, Yuan Guohua ended the topic.

Within 2 minutes, the coaches who went to arrange the athletes came back.After simply exchanging a few words with each other, they didn't pay attention to others, and each turned their attention to the track.

With very keen observation skills, Lin Mu noticed some changes in Chen Guobin. Then he looked at Yuan Guohua and received a nod from the other party. Lin Mu understood something in his heart!
"It really saves a lot of worry to have an experienced person assist..." Lin Mu thought to himself. He was planning to say a few words later, but now he is relieved.This made Lin Mu feel that the current working conditions are really good.

As the atmosphere in the stadium gradually rose, at 9:35 in the morning, the men's 100-meter preliminaries began.

Amidst the roaring cheers and cheers of thousands of people, the three groups of men's [-]-meter preliminaries appeared on the stage one by one.

22 people, including almost all domestic athletes who can be ranked in this event.Except for a few players from the national team, the rest of them are among the top players in the local team, such as Hu Ke, Liu Yang, Liu Dapeng, and Huang Ling.

Regarding the preliminaries, in fact, most of the coaches, including most of them, basically already know it in their hearts. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to have surprises in the results.Even in the Olympic qualifiers, if you let a person with a 10 or 40 level challenge players like Zhao Lin and Yang Yaozu, even if they perform abnormally and their state explodes, it is difficult to be a threat.

The progress of the preliminaries did not exceed most people's expectations.

Due to the small number of people, the competition party and the Athletics Association did not completely use randomness when assigning groups.Instead, according to the situation of personal best results, they are more evenly distributed among the three groups.

首先第一组出场的沈欢和陈建海，非常轻松的分别以10秒26和10秒31的成绩拿下了小组前二。跑得十分轻松，基本是属于冲了七80米就已经大幅领先，到了八90米以后就开始放了。

The same is true for Yang Zuyao and He Jun who appeared in the second group. The results of 10 and 11 were ahead of all other competitors.
Next, Zhao Lin, who played in the third group, was the same as Yang Zuyao. Even if he let the water go, he did not relax his attitude. He maintained his usual rigor and ran a time of 10 seconds. Less impact, it was a struggle, and finally ran a personal best time of 05 seconds.

Another A mark appears...

……

"Not bad!"

On the sidelines, watching the entire preliminaries, Lin Mu gave a rare compliment.

In his opinion, their respective results can only be regarded as mediocre. After all, it is the preliminaries, so everyone is relatively relaxed.What Lin Mu was really satisfied with was their attitude. Even if they relaxed their competitive state, they performed well in terms of technical movements and attitude towards the game.

"It's really good, and it's reassuring to look at!" Hearing Lin Mu's praise, Yuan Guohua echoed, as he said to Chen Guobin before, the temperament of a team leader does have a great influence.In a few months, all the coaches of the team now attach great importance to these will and qualities.

"Director Lin, Lao Liu, Shen Bao has entered the A standard. This kid has really exploded this year! 28 years old, it's not too late..."

"Shen Bao's current condition is indeed good, that is..." Lin Mu nodded in agreement, and it was also a pity.Shen Bao's state is very good, but mentality... Shen Bao no longer has the desire to continue to seek a higher breakthrough.What a pity!
As Liu Ren said before, Shen Bao applied for two events, 100m and 200m, and wanted to gain a chance to squeeze into the Olympic individual events.

However, from Lin Mu's observation, it is not difficult to see that Shen Bao may just want to fulfill a wish, and he is happy when he succeeds, and he is also happy when he loses. He has lost a little bit of determination and ruthlessness to try his best to squeeze in.

Compared with him at last year's World Championships, although his level has improved because of the training effect, Lin Mu has less expectations for him.

If it wasn't for Zhao Lin's drive in this preliminaries, he believed that Shen Bao would never have achieved such a result.But even so, what Lin Mu saw was that when entering the last 30 meters, due to the impact of the speed drop and speed resistance, Shen Bao relaxed his requirements for his own technical control, let alone the will to fight hard .

This can't be explained by a reason that the preliminaries can be relaxed. Since they want to fight, there are only two opportunities for games. There is no difference between the preliminaries and the finals.

It's really a mentality of success, and a mentality of failure!Shaking his head secretly, Lin Mu did not continue after all.Everyone has their own choice, you can't force it!
"Hehe~" Lin Mu only said half a sentence. Liu Ren, who has always been very alert, almost understood it. Lin Mu needs to go through the subtle details of the game to observe, and he has been in contact with Shen Bao for much longer. .

When you are older and have achieved results, the rest of the time is to enjoy the game.Just like Yin Hanzhao who had just walked out of sight before, it made him very helpless.

In his opinion, 28 years old is really not that old, that is, because of some problems with the training methods in the last few batches, there have been many retired under the age of 25.None of their previous ones were still active in their early 30s.

As for the results, one of the champion members of the world championship relay said that the honor is quite big, but in fact that is the case.People who don't understand think it's amazing, hey, the world champion.But the real situation is incomparable with the Olympic Games or even the Asian Games.

Just like now, with the attention of the media and the public's attention, Zhao Lin is obviously more attractive, not because he is the world championship champion, but because he is the No. 10 Chinese who broke the 1-second mark.Yang Zuyao, who is also a world champion, obviously receives much less attention.Not to mention Chen Jianhai and Shen Bao!
Lin Mu felt it was a pity, why didn't he!Some people say that they feel self-pity because Shen Bao gave up on continuing to pursue.Speaking of utilitarianism, no matter how well Shen Huan ran the two athletes he led, his contribution could only be a small part.It was Shen Bao who could really make him stand tall, but Shen Bao's progress and achievements obviously fell short of his expectations!
"Old Liu, let's go!" Someone patted his shoulder, and then Yuan Guohua's voice came over, and Liu Ren was pulled back from his thoughts.Turning around, Lin Mu was ready to take someone away.

Liu Ren asked in a daze, "Go back?"

"What are you thinking? Of course I'm going back. The final will be at night, and you still plan to watch it here? There will be no one in the stadium after a while!"

"Oh~" Liu Ren nodded slightly and followed the team.

"Don't think too much, you are the head coach of Shen Huan and Shen Bao, but you are also the deputy head coach of the relay team..."

"Old Yuan..." Hearing what Yuan Guohua said almost in his ear, Liu Ren shook his head and whispered, but he didn't know how to say it when the words came to his lips.

"Head coach...relay...deputy head coach..."

Following the team step by step, Liu Ren kept thinking about it.

For the first time, he really thought about these issues with his heart.Thinking about Lao Yuan, and thinking about himself, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked a lot of things!
