just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 274 400m Final

"Huh? Old Yu, look, why do I feel like Xiao Lin...?"

On the sidelines, from the moment Lin Mu entered the arena, he has been paying attention to now when he is on the track. The more Feng Yong looks at it, the more he feels something is wrong, which is different from any other time in the past.They are all the same calm and serious, but he just feels different, not like Lin Mu in his impression.

"Boss, this is it!" Yu Weili's hands trembled a little, and he couldn't suppress his excitement and returned to Feng Yong.

Feng Yong is the head coach and has also been an athlete, but after all, he didn't last long and he didn't make a name for himself.After all, I have never really felt the mentality of a top athlete.But he is different. He is a former national champion and record holder. In his era, he has always been the top group in China and Asia.

He can feel many things. In the past, he was gratified that Lin Mu could cultivate the temperament of a mature athlete like Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao.But in fact, he is not particularly satisfied with Lin Mu's own athlete status.

Lin Mu has a good psychological quality, as well as excellent skills and strong strength. He has always been very stable.But he could see that Lin Mu hadn't been able to fully inspire himself. He was very stable, but he lacked a lot of things compared to the athletes under him.

On the runway, Yu Weili could always feel that Lin Mu didn't have that kind of excitement from the bottom of his heart. He could give him expectations, but he lacked surprises.

At first in the Asian Championships, he thought Lin Mu was really pushing his limit when he ran like that.But later he knew it wasn't, Lin Mu seemed to be running as a bystander all along.This is also the main reason why he was very angry when Lin Mu ran like crazy again during the Olympic preliminaries.Not to fight for honors or achievements, but just to test the training intention, which makes others uncomfortable.

This is not what a top athlete should do.It was also because of Lin Mu's main coaching status, so he didn't deliberately say anything.After all, Lin Mu's choices are all for coaching work.

But now, he has a surprise!He finally felt that at this moment, Lin Mu was already a real top athlete, and he had taken this step from body to heart.

Right, you are still young, Wang Fuyi has worked for more than ten years, how can you give up your own talent now!
"Yes? Yes..." Feng Yong listened at first without thinking, and was a little surprised, but just after asking, he came to his senses.

Yes, he thought of many past athletes, and also thought of the moment when Zhao Lin transformed during the World Championships, and he understood it instantly!
"It's really a surprise, Lao Yu, it seems that we are going to push him a step, it's really right! Now I'm really looking forward to it!"

Feng Yong was really happy in his heart. Lin Mu was not only the core backbone of their plan, but also the vanguard and banner of their hope.They hope that the career they love has an excellent leader in all aspects!

"Yes, I look forward to it! Boss, winning or losing this game is not important anymore. First of all, we have already won the Olympic Games this time, and we have won a very promising future! What's more, winning or losing is really uncertain now ..."

Yu Weili had a bright smile on his face.

Lin Mu, your final is about to begin!

We are watching you, your athletes are watching you, and many people in the country are watching you.

What will happen?
Next, it's up to you!
For the next game, Yu Weili has never been so looking forward to it for a moment!
……

"... Audience friends, the men's 400m final is about to begin, and our country's player Lin Mu will appear in the final. This is the first track and field sprint event in this Olympic Games, and our first event in China to enter the final. For the first time in Olympic history...

Last night, as the second men's 400-meter event in which Chinese players entered the final, Chinese player Zhao Lin won a precious silver medal, creating a medal breakthrough for Chinese players in the sprint event in Olympic history.Now in the [-]-meter event, Lin Mu is here!
Some viewers may not know that Zhao Lin, who has been born out of nowhere since last year, has made progress all the way into professional sports and achieved his current achievements. He is proud of his hard work and also benefited from the teachings of his head coach.His head coach is Lin Mu, who personally discovered and cultivated them, such as Zhao Lin and Shen Huan, who have achieved excellent results.

As a coach, Lin Mu is excellent, and as an athlete, he is also excellent.Last year's Asian Championships champion, 400-meter national record holder.In the two games of the Olympic Games this time, the national record was broken twice, and the Asian record was broken in the semi-finals.

The performance of master and apprentice has created countless miracles, which deserves to be inherited in one continuous line.

Now, we are very much looking forward to the next game.They have already created the best results of Chinese athletes in the Olympic track and field, and they are pushing history forward step by step..."

At 21:[-] Athens time, the voices of Yang Jian and Han Qiao's partner began to appear on the TV.It was already two o'clock in the morning in China, but there were still many spectators who stayed up late to watch the game, and their spirits were instantly lifted at this time!
No matter whether you know track and field or not, after following the narration at this moment, you can't help but feel a fire beating in your heart.

Especially for the audience who have only recently paid attention to these people, the sense of passionate anticipation in their hearts at this moment is particularly strong.

"...Okay, the players have already appeared on the field. Our country's player Lin Mu is placed in the fourth track. This is the best track in the sprint event. He looks very focused now, and his mental state Also very good...

Now that the introduction of the contestants has started, let's take a look at the 8 contestants in today's final...

The first is French player Leslie De Jong, he is... The second is Otis Harris from the United States... The third is Jeremy Variner, also from the United States... …The fourth is our country’s Lin Mu. In the semi-finals, he ranked first in the total score with a time of 44 seconds..."

On the scene and in front of the TV, the sound of the commentary was almost in sync. With the pictures coming back from the camera lens, 8 channels were drawn one by one. At the same time, the player list information box on the screen also appeared in front of everyone.

First Way, Leslie de Jong, France;

Second Way, Otis Harris, United States;
Third Way, Jeremy Wariner, USA;
The fourth road, Linmu, Huaxia;
Fifth Avenue, Derek Blue, United States;

Sixth Road, Brandon Simpson, Jamaica;

Seventh Avenue, Blackwood, Jamaica;
Eighth Road, Davion Clark, Jamaica;

……

"After the introduction of the contestants, the athletes began the final pre-match preparations..."

The voice of the commentary continued, but at this moment, many Huaxia audiences who had been paying attention were a little silent at the moment.

Simply listening to the commentary and reading the names of the track and players may be overlooked, but the appearance of the athlete arrangement list looks extraordinarily dazzling.

The 8 players come from 4 countries, and two of them are all three players.The remaining French players were on the fringes, while Huaxia's Lin Mu was completely surrounded by three American players.

The overall strength of the sprint events in the United States and Jamaica is really strong.At this moment, the audience was particularly emotional, and it also made them feel that it was really not easy for the Chinese to enter the finals of the 400 meters and the current [-] meters, and to be able to compete.

……

"Jeremy Variner!"

Lin Mu stood in the fourth lane. He didn't feel too much about the strength of the United States. He was doing preparations. Occasionally, he just casually looked at the opponents around him.

Especially Wariner, who is in the third lane not far behind him on the left, is young and looks immature with a white face. He is slender and does not have the strong muscles of ordinary black athletes. He looks a little thin .

A pair of brown sunglasses was put on his face, his expression was serious and stern, but occasionally he showed a little nervousness inadvertently.

Before and after the semi-finals of the preliminaries, discussions about the champions continued.But in the overall voice, the voices of the white man and the yellow man have not been high, even in the semi-finals, one of them was third and the other was first.

But Lin Mu knew that this one, who is not yet considered a true professional athlete, would take off from today if he followed the original historical trajectory.

Lin Mu had already seen all his opponents before the start of the 400-meter race. From the very beginning, in fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't have so much strong desire to fight with anyone and desperately compete for honor.As he has reflected before, he has maintained too much composure from the athlete's standpoint.

In fact, Lin Mu sometimes thought about it. He felt that his grades were steadily improving, and his physical fitness was better than that of his athletes, but he was not as good as Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao.

He has thought about a lot of possible reasons, technically, attributes, and now that he thinks about it, he understands that the heart of an athlete is not clear enough.From the first moment, Hongqi, the people of the country, and all the expectations placed on him behind him really made his heart sink.

Of course, one of them is indispensable, he has always lacked opponents who can let him completely release.

Today is different, there is a mission, a responsibility, and it is worth releasing all opponents for it.Since his rebirth, Lin Mu has never been so looking forward to the game for a moment.

Lin Mu was thinking about himself and his opponents, but what he didn't notice was that when he appeared in the finals, his opponents were also vigilant and self-motivated.Only those who have really seen and compared them know that their opponents are different from the voices of the outside world.

With the progress of the 400m and [-]m to the present, some things about Lin Mu have appeared in the desk documents of various countries.

As many people think, 9 meters for 9 meters, 200 seconds for 20 meters, 400 seconds for 45 meters, 60 seconds for 6 meters, Huaxia's sprint, and Huaxia's athletes, each of which deserves enough attention up!

In the stadium, many spectators watched the final ceremony and preparation of the players, and the applause, whistle and cheers never stopped.

People tend to be more inclined to the weak, or the party that looks weaker, such as the Chinese and French who are surrounded by the United States and the Jamaican bloc at this time.From the bottom of their hearts, they hope that their European colleagues and Chinese people can create a miracle.

The appearance of a lonely hero is even more legendary and attractive in the eyes of most European and American audiences, not to mention the already large Chinese cheering group, their own countrymen, how could they be stingy with applause!
"On your marks!"

Standing in front of the starting line, Lin Mu withdrew all his gaze to the left and right, slowly adjusted his breathing, and put his whole body into it.

At this point, the starter's command to be in position is issued.

The strength of his whole body exploded, and he did not deliberately suppress the fierceness that was about to move in his body.Walking up to the starting block, stepping on the pedals of the running block with both feet, leaning over and lowering the head, after a while the strength of the whole body relaxes, and then accumulates again.

Everything is ready!

"Set!"

"Bang~"

From the loudspeaker behind the starting block, the crisp sound of the starting gun suddenly sounded!

In the stands that had just quieted down a little bit in the arena, just after the gunshots rang out, there was suddenly overwhelming cheers.

"Game start……"

Lin Mu has been keeping his focus. At the moment when the gun was fired, he rushed out. At this moment, he was more passionate than ever before. He reacted and accelerated at the start. He completely integrated all his thoughts into himself. this run.

There is no more spectating, no more analysis, only moving with you, moving with your heart.The rhythm and memory that have long been integrated into the bones are fully displayed!
The 400-meter race does not have as high requirements for starting and starting speed as other events, but no matter how you say it, it is still a sprint after all. Acceleration, mid-way, holding speed, and sprinting are such a process after all.As long as it can be within the scope of one's own control, the faster must be more advantageous.

What's more, in the 400-meter race, the player in the middle position is using a more explosive rhythm that he is used to, but at the same time, the impact on others is often uncomfortable at times.

Just like at this moment, at the beginning of Lin Mu's rush, Jeremy Variner, who was in the third lane behind him on the left, also reacted very quickly at the start. After the start, he took big steps with his unique crotch rhythm gallop on the curve.

His starting speed is not slow, and his slender figure is not very beautiful when he takes each step, but his steps are light and his movements are very stretched. He moves his hips forward and swings his legs very freely, and his body is also stable. It is also full.

However, between 30 and [-] meters away, when he pulled up slightly and glanced out of the corner of his eye, he was suddenly startled.The neighbor in front of him, who has a bigger reach than him, seems to be farther away from him at this moment!

Is this the outbreak of the Chinese people that Derek and Otis were talking about?

Should I pick up some more speed? !
Another 20 meters passed, and when he was completely stable and started the first part of the journey, he couldn't help struggling.

Because, after sweeping the corner of his eyes again, the distance between the figure in front and him seemed to be even greater.

40 meters, 50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters...

On the field, after the sound of gunfire, the eight contestants were all trying to increase their speed as fast as possible.But compared with 200 meters and 400 meters, the process of acceleration maintained by [-] meters athletes is naturally pulled longer.

But no matter how long the acceleration distance is, the process of maintaining a steady increase in the overall speed will not change.Just like in the first corner, usually after 40 meters, the speed can be maintained at more than 90.00% of its own speed rhythm, and then slowly increased to the peak.

In addition to the head-to-head rushing in ancient times, the two extreme running methods of extreme speed and rearward force appeared later.After entering modern times, the balance distribution of 400 meters has become more and more familiar to athletes.

Stable speed support, precise control, precise control of the entire run, each distance section is clearly divided.

A player who can be called an excellent player in the 400-meter event must have such qualities.It also has a good absolute speed. When allocating in the early stage, it can reasonably step on the speed rhythm that you can control.Ensure that it still has sufficient capacity to maintain speed in the second half.

And because of this, usually in a competition, if a player lags behind too much in the first half of the assigned starting speed, it is impractical to rely entirely on the second half of the speed to catch up, no matter how good the speed resistance and maintenance are.

At this time, the problem came!

At a distance of 70 meters, the athletes who were able to have a line of sight intersection with Lin Mu's pass had a rough judgment in their hearts at this moment.The four-way Huaxia people, the speed distribution in the first corner is very large, and the explosion is also very fierce. Even Jeremy Variner, who always thinks that the first corner is not weak, feels that he is not weak with the opponent at this time. difference.

He doesn't know how much speed the opponent used, but he can imagine that not all of them are certain. Even if the opponent can run 44 seconds, it is impossible for him to be a blind and hard worker.It's even more impossible to ignore your own rhythm of leading others. There is only one Huaxia in the finals.

"Should I add a little more, pull too much, what should I do later?!"

Variner was a little anxious. He thought he was not weak in terms of absolute speed and explosiveness, but he was too strong in real calculations. At least he was worse than many black compatriots.His strong point is the relative high-speed stability of the whole process.Therefore, in the first few paragraphs, if he was pulled too much by others, and he suddenly broke out to catch up with others, it would be impossible.

But if the acceleration of the future is increased, his physical strength and speed endurance will not be able to perfectly realize the speed distribution rhythm he has always been.So he struggled and hesitated in his heart, and at the same time tried his best to stabilize his rhythm.

But the real situation is that, without him noticing, his speed is already faster than usual...

70 meters, 80 meters, 100 meters...

In a blink of an eye, while the players were running, the first corner was about to end, and they were about to enter the first straight!

In the attention of people, on the orange-red runway where the eight contestants galloped, the red figure ran faster and faster, which was particularly conspicuous.

In a fierce 400-meter race, the sudden emergence of Chinese people has brought enough expectations to the people watching on and off the field who had all kinds of ideas before the game.

At this time, different languages ​​came together, cheering, cheering, and shouting, and the stadium was completely boiling!
