just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 287 The Ninth Match Day of Track and Field
before the finish line,

Yang Zuyao felt all the fatigue and heaviness filling his body.

He opened his mouth and panted violently. The grades and results had already been settled, and he looked at the place where the grades were displayed with some regret.

It's still not enough, I didn't have enough savings in the first half of the explosion, and the distance pulled by the opponent is too big!If he could have another ten meters, he might be able to completely surpass Crawford, but after all, it was just a if, and he lost!
Before and during the game, he was always in a very calm mood.But after the results came out, even though he had expected it, he still felt great regret and loss.Moreover, he felt even more ashamed.

Staring blankly at the big screen at the scene, Yang Zuyao's thoughts fluctuated violently, and his eyes turned red.He reached out and wiped his face vigorously, but the itchy waterline on his face slipped down became more obvious, and his eyes became more red.

"Little Yang!"

The familiar call made Yang Zuyao tremble instantly, and turned to look at the place where the voice came from.

"Coach~"

With a soft call, the exhaustion on Yang Zuyao's body seemed to disappear in an instant, and suddenly, he rushed towards the barrier on the sidelines with big strides.

It is already the last game today, so after the game, the referees and staff did not prevent some people outside the game from approaching the field.At this time, media personnel from various countries and people related to athletes who had already been eager to try had already stepped into the arena from behind the billboards on the sidelines.

Seeing Yang Zuyao rushing towards them, the media reporters were agitated for a while. The domestic reporters in China, including many foreign reporters, hurried up to meet them. Before they got close, all kinds of equipment were ready to move forward. Hello.

"Yang..."

"!%#￥"

Yang Zuyao didn't have any scruples about the people who wanted to interview him, he slightly pushed aside the people blocking the way, rushed to the side of the barrier, stepped over in one step, and walked in front of that person.

"Coach~ I..."

"Great run!"

Lin Mu smiled and patted Yang Zuyao on the shoulder. He had seen athletes cry many times in the arena, including himself including Yang Zuyao and Zhao Lin, but usually they were emotional when they won.But looking at Yang Zuyao with red eyes at this moment, he knew it was not just that.

"I'm sorry, coach, I didn't practice well, and I didn't run well either!"

Yang Zuyao raised his head and looked at Lin Mu, his voice trembling slightly.

There were crystal splashes in the red eyes, and what Lin Mu saw in Yang Zuyao's eyes was a bit of stubborn unwillingness and regretful shame.

Listening to Yang Zuyao's words, Lin Mu smiled softly.

Many people in the team said that they were rather strange and special masters and apprentices, and Lin Mu usually laughed when they heard it.Probably it is a sense of ambivalence that is both pragmatic and ambitious.

For example, at this moment, people who see it may think that what Yang Zuyao left was tears of joy and excitement, and he was happy and excited to break the Asian record and win an Olympic medal.But he knows that there is joy, but excitement...

Lin Mu shook his head secretly. From Zhao Lin to Shen Huan to Yang Zuyao, all he could feel was dissatisfaction with himself and his grades.Especially Yang Zuyao, the more than a month before and after the City Games, and the more than a month of active and passive delays later, these are enough for Yang Zuyao to shake his heart.

This is also why he took the initiative to run over.Moreover, he also decided.As long as he leads the team in the future and as long as there is time and conditions, he will do this. He hopes to be the first to appear in front of the athletes when they come off the field.

If you win, give them praise and blessings, if you lose, send them encouragement and comfort!
In fact, talking about losing at this moment is a bit hypocritical. It seems that those who can enter the top three in the Olympic Games should not use the word "lose" to explain it.What's more, Huaxia has always been weak in track and field. People will only say that breakthrough is glory.

However, in the final analysis, they still lost. The runner-up and third runner-up are often the biggest losers in the competition.More importantly, because of the memories of the past, from the beginning, Lin Mu instilled some ideas in them, and they have always been adhering to the pursuit of the highest honor and higher grades.

Previously, Zhao Lin won the silver medal, lost, and cried. Because of these touches, Lin Mu changed from a person who only had the memory of an athlete into a real athlete.It was also from then on that he felt that he could do more.

"It's really a good run. As for the past things, after you have come over, don't look back. The past things are experiences and insights, and they are not for you to regret!"

Lin Mu was very relieved by Yang Zuyao's words, after all, it hasn't changed.Before coming here, he had thought about Yang Zuyao's reaction, and he was sure Yang Zuyao would be like this, but after all, he hadn't met him personally.Now that the facts are out, he feels that everything he did was worth it.Don't be tired of the vain scenes, but still maintain a sincere heart for sports.

After patting this "disciple" who was only two years older than him, Lin Mu didn't say any more words of comfort.In fact, his standing here is already the greatest comfort in itself.

"But... because..."

Yang Zuyao was unwilling and even more regretful, but he didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.If he could have thought of it more than a year ago, even if he squeezed into the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, he might be extremely excited.

But now, with the silver medal, 19 seconds 95, the first person in Asia to run 200 meters under 20 seconds, the once unattainable "dream" has come true, but he only feels dissatisfied and disappointed with himself.

Because, he felt, he could have done better.He felt sorry for the team, himself, and the coach in front of him who seemed to always appear in front of him when he needed it most.

"Yang Zuyao ~ Yang Zuyao ~ can accept our interview..."

"Director Lin, you..."

At this moment, the chasing reporters rushed towards Lin Mu and the others, and the spotlight never stopped blinking.

"Everyone, don't worry, just wait~"

Lin Mu waved his hand to calm the restless crowd, then put his hands on Yang Zuyao's shoulders and faced the crowd: "You have done what you have learned, and I am here to do the next step. Now, you are the runner-up in the Olympic Games. , accept your honor, and express your gratitude to those who support us behind you..."

……

"Usain, let's go back!"

In a corner of the stands, a burly black man with a big belly patted the black teenager beside him, and yelled in his ear.

"Coach Mills, I... I can at least win the silver medal!"

Staring intently at the finish line, looking at the athletes who were divided into several piles and being interviewed by reporters, the young man seemed a little envious and a little unwilling.

"Yes, Usain, you can at least get the silver medal!"

Looking at the teenager beside him, Mills agreed with a smile.

He brought his number one beloved disciple here today, he forced him to do so, and the young boy was reluctant before.Now, seeing the fire and desire in his eyes, Mills is satisfied.

Entered the professional system in the first year, participated in the Olympic Games for the first time because of injury, was eliminated in the preliminaries, and bid farewell to the stage in advance.Regret and loss needless to say.Not to mention the young man who has won all the way since he was a child.

In the past two days, the always hip-hop optimistic, playful and playful young man seemed a little depressed, but in Mills' view, the direction of these depressions was too wrong and not enough.So Mills thought of this.

In the world, everyone who enters professional sports may have a different initial goal, but as long as those who come down, the desire for victory and honor is inevitable.

He has always been quite satisfied with the boy's progress, his grades have been rising all the way, and he is also very satisfied with the boy's pursuit of victory, but he still feels that the boy is missing something.It lacks the determination to achieve victory desperately, and also lacks the perseverance to regard the profession as a career.He feels that teenagers need more encouragement, stimulation, and more temptation.

Yes, temptation may not be a good word, but it is very real and effective.

Like Brazil, the football kingdom, Jamaica can be called the track and field kingdom.Just as football changes lives in Brazil, there are countless teenagers in Jamaica who want to use running to change their lives every year.

Talented or not, as long as there is a chance to change their destiny, they will jump in and work crazily for it.

However, the boy I value most is somewhat...

"Coach, I can really win the silver medal! I ran 19 seconds this year!"

Seeing his respected coach smiling and having fun, the young man was a little annoyed, and emphasized again very seriously.

"Haha, Usain, you can really win the silver medal! But..." After Coach Mills gave a hearty smile, his expression was indeed restrained a lot, and he looked serious immediately.

"However, is the silver medal enough? You look at the American who won the gold medal, and then look at the Chinese who got the silver medal and the third runner. Look at the people around them. Tomorrow, let's look at people who are more Who are you talking about?"

Following the direction of Coach Mills' finger, the boy looked at the finish line again, the Americans standing in front of the timing board, dozens of people gathered around and scrambled for the first place.And the other two...

"Boy, competitive sports are cruel. People will always pay more attention to the fastest runner. The media will pay attention, the audience will pay attention, and businessmen all over the world will hand them checkbooks. Honor, Money, status, everything... Our Jamaica is too small, too poor, Jamaica's national champion is too weak..."

"Coach, I understand! I want to win the championship, the world championship!"

The boy didn't quite understand these cruelties, but he knew that money was very important. He thought of the debt his father owed, and the jobs his mother worked every day so that he could enter the sports school.

"World champion?! Your talent is good, but right now, you are not enough. You need to work harder..." After touching the boy's head, Mills returned to smiling.

"Let's go, you are already 18 years old, after your injury recovers, your strength and endurance training will increase..."

"Ah?!" The young man was a little dazed, thinking of the usual training, and thinking of the possible increase, he felt a little distressed.

It's just that in a flash, his troubles were pushed to the back of his mind again.

"However, for the championship, for the money...for the mother..."

……

"...Good evening everyone, welcome to today's Straight to Athens, I'm the host...Today is August 8th, the Athens Olympics has entered the final stage...First of all, let's review the exciting events yesterday Content, in terms of track and field, the men's 27m race, Chinese sprinter Yang Zuyao made another great achievement..."

On the night of August 8th, in China.

After people habitually watched CCTV's simulcast news, they locked on the five sets of CCTV. After the Olympic Games began, in the past 10 days, as long as the Chinese audience paid a little attention to the Olympic Games, they were all used to this.

The show is over, maybe go to bed early, set an alarm clock, maybe find a few friends to get together and wait for the game to start.

This is even more so today, and tomorrow is the weekend, because the audience who can't stay up late because of life and work, today also let go of their time.Moreover, the days of the Olympic competitions are numbered. As the end draws to a close, the final competitions of major events will be staged one after another, and the team competition will officially enter the final stage.In particular, the recent extremely encouraging track and field events have particularly made them look forward to it.

"... At the end of the program, let us take a look at what exciting competitions will be held in major venues today... First, let us take a look at the track and field events...

...The Olympic track and field event has entered its ninth competition day...Tomorrow at 1:10 am Yanjing time, the men's 4*100m relay competition will be held by Chinese players Zhao Lin, Yang Zuyao, Chen Jianhai, Shen Huan, He Jun and others The men's relay team formed will compete with 15 other national relay teams that have performed best in recent years around the world.

This is the second time for the Chinese men's sprint relay team to participate in a world-class competition. Last year's World Athletics Championships in Paris, the Huaxia team won the championship by breaking the Asian record for the first time. It will be presented to the world for the second time. After a comprehensive breakthrough in individual events, we look forward to...

At 2:30 in the morning, in the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles, Chinese player Liu Xiang will participate in this competition. He is the world youth record holder and Asian record holder in this event. He will challenge the ranking of this competition...

At 2:35 in the morning, the men's 200m competition awards ceremony. In this event, Chinese player Yang Zuyao won a silver medal in yesterday's competition. The five-star red flag will be raised for the third time at the main Olympic Stadium...

At 2:50 in the morning, the women's [-]-meter long-distance race final, Chinese players Sun Yingjie and Xing Na..."

Following the host's introduction item by item, he also analyzed the format of each game in which Chinese players participated.This makes the blood and enthusiasm in the hearts of the viewers watching the show rise step by step.

There were so many exciting competitions today, especially the track and field competitions. Among the mentioned games that were to be broadcast, it seemed that the Chinese athletes were quite competitive, which made them feel very excited.

The opening scene of the first event is the men's 4*100-meter relay race. This is a team competition in track and field. It has always been regarded as the overall performance of a country's sprint strength. Although its absolute influence is not as high as that of the [-]-meter individual event, But its attention will not be low.

The participating teams are the [-] countries with the best performance in the world, and the participating players are the current top athletes in the country, both in terms of intensity and excitement, compared to individual events.

Everyone in the audience knows that the four Huaxia players who are about to participate in the competition are all athletes participating in the 4-meter and [-]-meter competitions in the Olympics.And on the whole, it seems to have a lot of competitiveness, which makes people look forward to it.

Chatting, looking for activities, waiting, waiting, waiting, time seems to pass extremely slowly, making people a little anxious, and even some of the ongoing entertainment activities seem a bit careless.

From time to time, I watched the TV until the Athens Olympic Stadium appeared on the TV screen. When the familiar commentary sounded, countless people immediately put down what they were doing, and their spirits rose in an instant.

燕京时间2004年8月28日凌晨1点10分，No.20八届奥运会田径男子4*100米比赛预赛开始了！
