just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 245 Trial 200m

At 19:05 in the evening, the stadium track and field track.

The men's 200m preliminaries are about to begin!
Similar to the 23-meter event, there are only 200 registered contestants for the [-]-meter event, divided into three preliminary groups. The top two in each group plus the two best scores will advance to the finals.

Amidst the cheers and shouts one after another, the athletes of the first group of the preliminaries appeared on the stage, and the host passionately introduced the contestants one by one...

"Everyone is in your place!"

Before the starting line, the order for the starter to be in place sounded.

On the fifth track, Zhu Kun exhaled lightly, and landed his feet on the starting blocks...

After looking around, Zhu Kun lowered his head and put his hands on the ground...

It doesn't matter who your opponent is, Zhu Kun, you are going to the Olympics!
"preparation"

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and Zhu Kun slammed his right foot on the starting block, leaned over and rushed out in an instant.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Because of the number of forward stretches, it is difficult for even ordinary professionals to tell who is first and who is behind at the start reaction, but after a few steps connected to the start, many people can see a lot of things, five ways The athlete in the middle of the night seems to be extraordinarily fast!
It was really fast, speeding up with no distractions, Zhu Kun entered his rhythm, controlled the different ranges of the left and right arm swings, the stride length was gradually increasing, and the stride frequency became faster and faster.

The already extremely fast pace, before because of the relationship between strength and coordination, could not always be as efficient as it should be.With the continuous improvement of quality, the current Zhu Kun has become more and more handsome in terms of explosive speed.

30 meters, 40 meters...

Zhu Kun, who had pulled himself up, was still running very steadily, and all the opponents around him disappeared from his world.

60 meters, 70 meters...

With his speed fully up, he ran into the biggest corner of the curve.

Leaning his body, taking big strides, stepping on the ground of the runway as if under precise guidance, kicking the ground powerfully, swinging his legs forward at a high speed, the whole body seems to draw a wonderful arc.

80 meters, 90 meters...

Immediately, the maximum arc angle of the curve comes, and the straight road is also close in sight.

……

There are eight figures, different in front and back, but once they approach the straight road, all the positions will be clear!

In the stadium, on the sidelines and in the stands, the atmosphere is getting higher and higher!

Amidst countless cheers and shouts, the figure that had always been extremely prominent was particularly eye-catching.

"come on! Come on!"

"Oh~"

There was a sound of cheering, and bursts of exclamations suddenly erupted from the audience!
The gap is very obvious. After turning into the straight road, the players in the five lanes seem to be pulled far away in just a few steps.

This is the national championships and the Olympic trials. It can be said that this is the top competition in the country.Being able to qualify for the trials is enough to prove that he is currently the top player in this event in the country.

Therefore, it is really surprising that the difference can be so big just a few steps into the straight after the halfway point.He is not Yang Zuyao!
On the track, no matter if they are behind or ahead, the athletes at this time have no time to care about them.

Those who are behind are catching up vigorously, while those who are ahead are still running wildly!
60 meters, 50 meters, 40 meters...

Getting closer to the finish line.

"Entering the last 40 meters, Wudao's Huizhou player Zhu Kun is still leading, and his speed is still, uh..." The host of the competition continued to explain the progress of the race through the loudspeaker equipment.

Just when he was about to say that the speed was still very fast, he suddenly choked, because he felt that the speed dropped suddenly, and the release of the water was too sudden, which made him speechless.

Fortunately, the professionalism is still there, but he just choked, and he hurriedly continued: "We are very close to the finish line, and the lead is obvious. The five players started to let go..."

……

sidelines,

An area not far from the finish line

Lin Mu, Yuan Guohua and Meng Shaoqiang are here, and they are all focusing on the track at this time.

Before the start of the game, they occasionally exchanged a few words. After the official start of the first group of the 200-meter preliminaries, the restlessness in the stadium intensified, but the area where they were located became quiet instead.

No one spoke, but a few pairs of eyes were staring at the track. The prominent figures on the track never left their sight.Several people were paying attention, but they were relatively relaxed. Whether it was the nature of the preliminaries or the players in the field, there were no factors that could make them nervous.

Until the live host was choked...

"Haha~" Lin Mu shook his head secretly, it was indeed true.

To say that before the start of the preliminaries, compared to the relaxed confrontation between Yuan Guohua and Meng Shaoqiang, it is just to observe the difference.Lin Mu was a little bit looking forward to it.He was looking forward to seeing how Zhu Kun would face such a situation. After all, no matter how many things he taught, they were not as profound as one experience.In the end, there were no unexpected surprises.

Since his contact with Zhu Kun's training, Zhu Kun has never had the experience of two high-intensity games in a short period of time.No matter how much training, how tiring and how much you challenge the limit, it is not comparable to the feeling of the game.

Anyone who has ever run a sprint knows that it is very tiring after an all-out race.If it is only a few hours apart, even if you feel that your body has recovered, you will not know until you run again that the deep layers of your body have not fully recovered.What's more, Zhu Kun is still a 400-meter run that is recognized as the most intense.

With 400-meter experience and encyclopedic data to remind him, he clearly knew that Zhu Kun's overall physical condition was not good before, and he had many negative states in his whole body.While the temporary members of the list were entitled to his recovery, he didn't do it.It's good to let Zhu Kun feel it, the game experience needs to be accumulated in this way.

It's just a pity that there are too few opportunities for Zhu Kun to participate in such top-level competitions, and ordinary competitions are not of much value.

In addition to thinking about Zhu Kun's problem, in fact, he went a step further, thinking about Chen Guobin.

When Chen Guobin reported Zhu Kun's registration that day, Lin Mu didn't say anything at that time, even though Yuan Guohua had already mentioned it to him at that time.Lin Mu felt that since Chen Guobin was the head coach, he had to face some things by himself, and he had to treat athletes' games and training in a more planned and rational way.

How to plan and how to be reasonable?The schedule is there, and it doesn't matter if there are multiple events. The key is how to consider the arrangements.No matter how you combine it, the priority must be there.

In this entire tournament, the goal of participating in the competition must be to meet the standards. Ranking and pre-finals are secondary.All arrangements must be based on this.

If you plan to specialize in the 400 meters, then you need to focus more on the 400 meters, but obviously not now, but because it is the finals, you have to use your strength.And in fact, they themselves know that in the 400 meters, with Zhu Kun's current situation, it is almost impossible to run out of the A mark!Then the purpose of desperately running this final is just for the so-called national championship?

In the end, to achieve the purpose of this trip, it is still 200 meters.But the current situation is even less ideal.Lin Mu feels that if Zhu Kun can have a small burst and run 200 meters perfectly, there may still be a chance of reaching the standard.But now my physical strength is clearly unable to support it.

Don't say that it is only the preliminaries, and there is still a chance for the finals. This statement will bring the situation back to the original place.The purpose, the purpose of participating in the competition is not to enter the finals, or even to get a ranking. What is needed is the results, the standard results.

"Coach Lin, Xiao Zhu's competition results are not bad!"

The first group of preliminaries has ended. Meng Shaoqiang looked at the No.1 score on the timing card and said something jokingly.

"20 seconds 85!"

The timing board clearly showed the first place in the group, and Zhu Kun still won the first place even though the last few tens of meters were regarded as a sudden release of water.

As a senior coach, Meng Shaoqiang couldn't fail to see that Zhu Kun didn't let go, and no one let go so suddenly.

That's because of the lack of physical strength, and the accumulated feeling of being unable to persist for a moment, and the athlete himself appears so abrupt because he did not respond reasonably.However, the final result is indeed not bad. It is very rare for a youngster under 19 years old to run such a result in incomplete condition.It is conceivable that if it is in peak condition, it is really possible to achieve breakthrough results.

"Lao Meng, you didn't even get into the B mark, and besides, this trip..." Yuan Guohua smiled and shook his head: "You're still too young!"

Yuan Guohua's young words were a little ambiguous, but both Lin Mu and Meng Shaoqiang understood.Not only athletes, but coaches as well.

"Hehe, Lao Yuan, the grades are really good! The strength is already here, and this is the key, right?! In such a situation, youth is still capital!" Meng Shaoqiang glanced at Lin Mu while talking, and continued: " In terms of youth, our Director Lin is even younger, isn't this capital?!"

"Can you compare with Director Lin? You are young because you have little experience and no experience. But Director Lin, his experience is enough to write a book..."

"Okay, old Yuan, you two are just talking about me?" Lin Mu waved his hands, "It's good to be young or not, and it's right to say that you have no experience. When you joined the team last year, you were wrong. I did not do less things, and I did not do less. I still have to rely on study, and I have to work hard..."

"You are all old coaches, and I told you that I am playing tricks! Hehe, continue to watch the game. If there is anything else, let's talk about it later. Xiao Yang and his team will finish the game later, and we will go back!"

The players in the first group of matches have already left, and the preliminaries of the second group are about to begin. Lin Mu has already seen Shen Bao and He Jun who were ranked in the second group take the field.

Facing Yuan Guohua's meaningful glance, Meng Shaoqiang couldn't help but smile!
……

"Dear spectators, what is about to take place is the 2004 National Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials, the men's 200-meter finals. Now, the finalists have appeared..."

May 5rd, the last competition of the selection.

It was 18:30 in the evening, and the voice of the live host sounded from the PA equipment in the stadium as scheduled, and the final highlight of the entire selection competition was about to be staged.

"Eight contestants have already walked to the runway. The top 200 players in the 8-meter event in China will stage a peak showdown at Chang'an Stadium today. Let us welcome, the first track..."

Following the introduction of the contestants hosted by the competition, the list of contestants who will participate in the finals was displayed on the big screen of the stadium:

First Road, Tang Jun, East Guangdong;
Second Road, Xu Zhizhou, East Guangdong;

The third way, He Jun, Yuzhong;
Fourth Road, Yang Zuyao, Shanghai;
Fifth Road, Shen Bao, Suzhou;
Sixth Road, Zhukun, Huizhou;
Seventh Road, Li Qiuping, Liao Province;

No. [-], Liu Tao, East Guangdong;
……

Yesterday's preliminaries ended, and the result did not exceed most people's expectations.Yang Zuyao ran 150 meters with all his strength according to the running-in rhythm, and then ran the whole distance with a very relaxed posture. The score of 20 seconds ranked first in the entire preliminaries.

Shen Bao and He Jun, who appeared in the second group, won the top two in the group and advanced to the final with a time of 20 seconds and 68 seconds respectively. Both of them surpassed the 20-meter B mark of the Athens Olympic Games of 73 seconds. Unfortunately, , the current B mark is meaningless.

In the group competition, Zhu Kun ran a time of 20 seconds under exhaustion in the last few dozen meters. Xu Zhizhou, who was in the same group with him, struggled to catch up in the second half. After all, the gap in front was too wide, and he finally finished with a time of 85 seconds. Won second place in the group.

All the contestants who participated in the finals ran within 21 seconds. The overall level was the highest in previous domestic competitions, which is rare.Under the deliberate introduction and publicity of the host of the competition, the audience, whether they knew it or not before, now know it.

Therefore, in the sound of the broadcast, under the backdrop of the passionate background music, every time the host of the competition introduces an athlete, the audience in the stadium applauds enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

When Yang Zuyao was introduced, the cheers were louder than ever, followed by Shen Bao, Zhu Kun...

……

At 18:45 in the evening, the men's 200m final officially began.

All eight contestants stood at their starting positions, checked and adjusted the starting blocks, tried running, moved their joints, and made final warm-up preparations before the race.

Except for one or two individuals, most of the players had serious expressions.

Without looking around to observe, for them now, the opponent is really unimportant. If they can't achieve A-level results, everything is meaningless.This is the Olympic trials, and it is basically the last chance for most of them to qualify for the Athens Olympics.Because before the registration deadline, there are very few domestic competitions that can be participated in later.

The cheers in the stadium continued, and the referees on the sidelines checked all the players one last time and signaled that everything was ready.

"Everyone on your marks~"

Moving their bodies, the eight contestants each returned to the starting line, leaned over and squatted down, and adjusted their breathing and emotions.The scene also quieted down!

"preparation!"

The starter's instructions were clearly transmitted from the small horn near the start. After uniformly bowing and accumulating energy, the eight contestants took the starting posture.

"boom!"

A gunshot, the game begins!
In an instant, all the athletes stepped on the starting block with their feet and their bodies rushed out!

"come on!"

"come on!"

The stadium, which had just been quiet, boiled again as the athletes started after the gunfire!

Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!
Opportunities are running out!
Keeping the smoothness of his body and arc, and taking strides vigorously, Zhu Kun cried out in his heart from time to time.

Yesterday's two races, especially the last 200 meters, made him truly understand what it means to be unable to do one's best.

In the past, it was not that he had never been tired from running, but he had never had the experience of running two full-strength races in a row at intervals of two or three hours.

When he came down, he was very upset, and looking back on the game, he felt that everything was very bad.He didn't even dare to face Brother Yang and the coach. Thinking about the affirmative words he had said to Brother Yang before, he felt a little blush!
Coach Chen comforted him, and Coach Yuan also came to talk to him.Coach Chen even came to "review", saying that he was responsible and that he should not be allowed to run the 400 meters.

But how could he attribute his mistakes only to the coach's arrangements? Maybe Coach Chen was right, it would be much better not to run 400 meters.But this is not the reason.Brother Zhao ran continuously, and Brother Yang also ran continuously. No matter how tired they were, they had never been in a situation like his.

When he felt powerless, he almost forgot to maintain the technical movements, too bad!
Coach Lin said a lot, but I still lacked some accumulation and strong willpower!
"Run ~ Zhu Kun!"

With a ferocious face and roaring in his heart, Zhu Kun galloped with all his might.

And on his left side, Shen Bao also roared in his heart. Compared with other players, because of his personal rhythm, he had already reached the peak of his speed at this time. in the front position.

But he knew in his heart that it was almost there, and he had to work harder.

Made the decision to retire, but on the court, he is not actually not willing to fight.It's just that he lacks the energy to completely change himself and seek a breakthrough.He knew that without these, there would be no place for him in the current national team.He didn't want to, and he didn't want to wait until the old man was exhausted before leaving in a slump.

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters...

Shen Bao kept encouraging himself, but when the corner of his eye glanced to the left and right, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"Has the speed completely increased?"

The little brother Zhu Kun on the right, and the little big brother Yang Zuyao on the left, he knows their rhythm, even He Jun who is farther away, even if he can't see it, he can know it.He is so familiar!

At this stage, he could already feel that his speed was starting to go down, while they had just reached their peak.The ranking is really not important, but the process has actually reflected many situations.

"Oh~"

"Come on~"

The audience on the sidelines were still enthusiastically chanting, cheering passionately for this seemingly intense game.

Under their gaze, what they saw were the athletes in lanes three, four, five, and six. They maintained a fixed position and moved forward almost from the start. Lane 5 was slightly ahead, and lane 4 followed closely. Lanes 3 and 6 struggled to move forward.

But now that nearly 100 meters have passed, the situation seems to have begun to change. Immediately, the audience turned into a straight line.

"come on! Come on!"

"..."

The deafening cheers were louder than before.

Accelerated at full speed, took big strides, and his feet hit the ground so powerfully every time. With his super strength, Yang Zuyao took the lead and rushed up the straight, surpassing everyone with an absolute advantage.

Immediately behind, Shen Bao also entered the straight road, gritted his teeth, swung his arms wildly, and strode forward vigorously.

Zhu Kun, He Jun, Xu Zhizhou...

120 meters, 130 meters, 140 meters...

In the condescending auditorium, tens of thousands of eyes focused on the track. Under their gaze, the eight figures on the track rushed towards the finish line like arrows.

As the finish line got closer, the sharpness of the arrow became sharper.

"...Okay, the leading advantage of Yang Zuyao in the fourth race is getting bigger and bigger...the players in the sixth race are still chasing...the fifth race...the third race...the finish line is approaching, and it is time to cross the line!"

In the increasingly passionate and short commentary of the live host, the 8 contestants completed their actions in turn.

Bow your head, lean over, press the line!
Immediately afterwards, the audience applauded thunderously, and countless cheers exploded!

"20 seconds 02!"

On the timing card, Yang Zuyao, who crossed the line No.1, scored.

"Yang Zuyao won the first place. His time is 20 seconds. This is his best time this year. This is..."
