just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 290 Relay Final

"On your marks!"

The majestic Olympic Stadium in Athens fell silent for a rare moment amidst the din.

In the packed stadium, the silence was more like the calm before the storm.

In the center of the field, the Norwegian Thorkildsen, who was preparing for his last shot with a javelin in his hand, slowed down his starting position and shook his head helplessly to signal to the referee.

He wants to slow down, looking to the other side of the runway, he knows that it is coming soon!
"Set!"

"Bang~"

A preparatory order, followed by a gunshot, the expected clamor and enthusiasm suddenly exploded in the savings!
"come on!"

"!@#&^"

on the runway,
When the commotion broke out again, Yang Zuyao, who was standing in the second baton relay zone, raised all his thoughts and spirits almost instantly, and fixed his eyes on the corner of the curve. His teammates immediately Come on, their game begins!

With a concentrated expression, the blood in his body was boiling.

There are many others like him, athletes, coaches on the sidelines, and excited commentators from various countries.

"...the game is on! Chen Jianhai is the first bat, he has a good start, he is accelerating...Shawn Crawford of the US team, he is very fast...Gardner of the British team...Crow Ford accelerated very fast this time, he took the lead, and was very close to the six-way Polish team, Chen Jianhai was exerting his strength, and he was not pulled too far away..."

The commentators spoke quickly about the progress of the game. Even if they were not particularly professional, they could still see the strength of the American team.But because of this, the game was extremely intense from the very beginning, making people excited.

Halfway through the first leg, Crawford had a clear lead at full speed.It has widened the gap with the United Kingdom and China in terms of forward reach, and even approached the first pole of the Polish team, which is already close to six.

However, Chen Jianhai, who is located in Sidao, and Gardner, the British No. [-] player in Sandao, are not discouraged, and they are also desperately exerting their strength.Weaker than the United States, but they are biting, and after a careful look, it is not difficult to find that the distance between them and Liudao is also slowly approaching.

Between the crazy arm swings and strides, almost all the players looked hideous.The strange expressions proved that none of them was stingy with physical strength. Even Crawford, under the absolute advantage of strength, he did not relax in the slightest.

Speed ​​up, speed up, catch up!
Chen Jianhai felt ruthless in his heart!
We are almost at the end of the curve, and the first take-over zone is almost here.At this moment, he knew that if nothing else happened, he would not be able to catch up with Crawford, and he was well aware of the gap in strength.But he won't give up, even if he insists not to be pulled away a little more, he can still help the teammates behind him.

Since his master led him to change the technical rhythm with the team guided by Lin, he has gone all the way for more than half a year, and his level has improved obviously.But in his opinion, while gaining horizontal growth, he has also recovered many things that were forgotten before.

He understood one thing - desperately.

Thinking about himself, he was a little ashamed, especially last year's World Championships.He failed to qualify for an individual event, and he was frustrated and unwilling at the time.But when he thinks about it now, he even feels lucky.

He knew that at that time, not to mention his lack of strength, he lacked the mentality to fight against strong opponents. He knew that he would lose, and he gave up early in his heart.

Thinking about it now, just like Director Lin once taught Zhao Lin, such a person is not worthy of representing Huaxia, and is not worthy of wearing this red suit.

This is my first Olympic Games, I am going to Finland, and I want to stand on the stage of Yanjing to fight for China and my motherland!
A few thoughts flashed through Chen Jianhai's mind, and once again he exerted his strength violently. He squeezed all the potential in his body and moved forward at a very fast speed.

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters...

The distance to the relay zone is getting closer and closer, and Chen Jianhai has already seen Yang Zuyao in the relay zone start to start. Compared with the past, his starting point is a little earlier.

He also saw that Crawford was ahead of him and was about to enter the handover process.At this moment, he couldn't care about others, and after a few strides, he rushed into the relay zone, desperately chasing after Yang Zuyao's figure.

"catch!"

The moment Yang Zuyao stretched out his palm behind his arm, accompanied by a muffled roar, the baton quickly hit Yang Zuyao's palm at the same time.

Without any unnecessary movements, as if he was swinging his arms naturally, Yang Zuyao rushed out of the relay zone in a few steps while holding the baton in his hand tightly.

Perfect handover!

"Huh~ My Olympic competition is over, let's see yours next!"

Chen Jianhai panted heavily, and even heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.In this run, he has already run out of all his strength, winning or losing depends on his teammates at this moment, and he can only silently send his blessings.

Slowly slowing down, and was about to walk down the runway to the next point, at this moment, he felt the gaze of his eyes.

The involuntary gaze followed, it was Crawford, and at this time Crawford had an angry and ugly expression on his face, looking at the opponents who had completed the handover from time to time.

Chen Jianhai was surprised, and shook his head secretly. He didn't want to care about what happened to Crawford, and now he just wanted to walk to his next teammate.

It's normal for Chen Jianhai not to understand. At the critical moment of handing over the baton, basically none of the other athletes who are also running will put their minds on others.But people who are always paying attention on the sidelines can probably understand Crawford's mood at this time.

"It's really stubborn!"

On the sidelines, Lin Mu, who was always paying attention to the arena, was especially touched at this time.

In Lin Mu's view, Crawford, who entered the relay zone earlier than Chen Jianhai, was able to lead Chen Jianhai by nearly 0.2 seconds in the process of the first shot. The gap is really huge.But such an advantage was completely ruined by a handover.

Gatlin started late, and Crawford was faster than he thought. Before he could reach the calculated pace, Crawford caught up with him.Perhaps it was because of Crawford's anger, or maybe Gatlin felt the surprise and suddenness.As a result, during the handover process between Crawford and Gatlin, the two arms drew two arcs in the air before it was finally completed.

What's more, Gatlin's starting speed didn't reach the ideal level, and most of the effect of the relay zone's starting speed was wasted. He could only continue to grit his teeth and start to accelerate.At this time, the six-way Polish team, which was about to be wiped out, regained the initiative and opened a distance of 2 meters from the United States.

The Huaxia team, which was originally behind the United States, not only caught up with the gap after a handover, but even overtook it.This has to be said, the importance of relay coordination.

In the final analysis, the tacit understanding between the two of the US team is poor, not a little bit.

The U.S. team's lack of tacit cooperation seems to be a consensus, and they only hoped to perform normally. According to their strength, they also have this confidence.But things often cannot withstand such surprises.

Lin Mu was very touched, but what he felt more was that such a process once again verified the stubbornness of the truth in history or memory.Team USA's handoff errors were almost exactly as he remembered them, even if Crawford seemed faster and more aggressive.Even Gatling looked more serious...

"Huh~ Let's see, heh!"

Lin Mu's eyes never left the arena, and his expression didn't change at all, but there was a very complicated wry smile in his heart.

"Old Yang, it's up to you!"

on the track,
The moment he finished handing over the baton, Yang Zuyao seemed to feel the voices in Chen Jianhai's heart.

The moment he received Chen Jianhai's handover, the rhythm of starting speed was fully up, running with big strides, and swinging his arms quickly.

He was satisfied with the handover this time. After the preliminaries, the coach specifically raised his starting point. It was too late for major changes, but a slight adjustment of half a step would basically not affect their tacit understanding.Now, he was half a step ahead of the preliminaries, and it was this adjustment that found the matching point between him and Chen Jianhai's speed.

But he is not satisfied, just like his 200-meter race, he is not satisfied with himself again.Because the changed starting point only showed one problem, his progress in speed was slower than that of Chen Jianhai, and he had to start half a step earlier to match.

"Run down, don't fall behind!"

The cry from the bottom of his heart seemed to be about the situation on the court, and it was more like about his own improvement in the future.

His personality is not dull, he likes to think, ponder, and he is also willing to help others.Now he is faintly No.1 in the national team's sprint event, not in terms of performance.There is the tacit approval of the coach here, and more importantly, he has set an example for both old and new players.

He looks very natural and easy-going. Many people say that he is more and more like Director Lin, he is serious about training and competition, and he doesn't seem to care about other things.But, who doesn't have a little attachment in his heart, many things, he actually cares!

He is not weak in grades, he is not proud, and his teammates have better grades than him, he is not envious either.Even the fellow from Shanghai who broke the world record yesterday, he is more happy.

One can imagine how that fellow countryman will be treated after returning to China.The same is the world champion, but it is conceivable that there is a world of difference.It's just that he won't be jealous, every achievement and breakthrough of Huaxia is his persistent national honor.

He also cares about the team he is in, the identities of the athletes under the coach and the Huaxia athletes, and the hard work and will that the team has always maintained.Zhao Lin made rapid progress, and even Shen Huan, who had not been back for a long time, also made rapid progress.Chen Jianhai, Zhu Kun and even He Jun are all.But his faintly leading brother...

You can lose talent and strength, but you can't lose hard work and progress!A team with a short history also has the honor he is obsessed with.

"rush!"

The speed has been raised to the extreme, once again hovering at the limit between control and non-control, Yang Zuyao is promoting the coordination of technique and body little by little.He always kept in mind what the coach said, every time he ran, he had to improve a little bit more than the last time.

The corner of his eyes swept forward, looking at Liu Dao who seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, feeling the panting and heavy footsteps behind him, Yang Zuyao didn't analyze his current position carefully.

He kept in mind that he had to run out of himself first!He gritted his teeth and stepped forward step by step, the second relay zone was in sight.

In the relay zone, Shen Huan had already seen Yang Zuyao running towards him from a distance, all his energy was concentrated, and he silently calculated Yang Zuyao's speed. When he saw Yang Zuyao running to the preset step point, he He suddenly turned his head and moved his body, stomping like a hot wheel, he started to speed up!

He wants to increase the speed in the shortest time!

"catch!"

A familiar voice sounded, even in the noisy stadium, it was still clearly audible.Almost at the same time as the sound, Shen Huan swung his arms backwards, and the baton fell firmly in his hands.

"Not bad!"

On the sidelines, Lin Mu secretly nodded in satisfaction.

Taking advantage of a mistake in the handover of the American team, Yang Zuyao was already ahead of the American team when he took over the baton and rushed out. With a distance of more than 100 meters, Yang Zuyao ran steadily and efficiently.

Although in terms of absolute strength, Yang Zuyao is weaker than Gatling, but in terms of the distance between the two corners of the second track plus a straight line, Yang Zuyao did not waste too much of the advantage he gained after running down the whole course. The handover began ahead of Gatlin.

Although Yang Zuyao's improvement in starting speed and explosive accumulation has been slower, the absolute speed is not bad.With the support of physical fitness and footsteps on the way, the more than 100 meters can completely allow him to maintain the highest speed until he completes the handover.

And the handover steps designed before are based on the state of Yang Zuyao at the highest speed.

Shen Huan's starting speed exploded at the absolute top, and then, it was another almost perfect handover.

"Um?!"

Lin Mu was startled for an instant, and his expression changed involuntarily.

"Heh~ After all, something has changed..."

With a secret breath, Lin Mu's expression slowed down, and he returned to his original appearance again, looking very calm and indifferent.But in fact, in just a second or two, his heart went from turbulent to complicated.

All his previous judgments were confirmed, and he didn't know whether he should be honored or disappointed.

History in memory has its stubbornness, as if following a certain trajectory.But with his butterfly wings, the same will not remain the same.Liu Xiang won the championship, and he won the championship with a record-breaking result. Compared with his previous life, he was more brilliant. He knew that there was more or less his influence in it.

Not to mention the athletes under him in the national team, the influence is everywhere.Originally, his influence was far from that of foreign players. In the World Championships, he stubbornly followed the original track.He also relied on this to come to the front of the stage.

Another year has passed, especially since the Olympic Games began, subtle changes are taking place.

And now, the relay has begun, just like the historical track, the handover of Crawford and Gatlin of the US team made an unexpected mistake.In fact, when analyzed, this is not only occasional, but also inevitable. The lack of mutual familiarity with each other is completely reasonable.

So, it may have been changed from the beginning!
Then, the second handover just now, this time between Gatlin and Kobe Miller, was completely different.

In the original time and space, Kobe Miller and Gatlin made the same handover error and lost a lot of time, at least not less than when the first bat was handed over.But now, Gatlin broke out, and even desperately, even Kobe Miller started early as before, but Gatlin caught up.

It seemed that the cooperation should have been a mistake, but because of Gatling's outbreak, they successfully completed a handover. It can be said that their handover is better than many times.

The original historical trajectory was completely broken.Lin Mu didn't force himself to climb on him, but he knew that the impact of the Huaxia team on Gatlin and Crawford definitely existed.

They didn't have the easy semi-finals, easy finals, and easy championships like in the previous life. After a few fights, everything they faced against Huaxia could no longer be predicted according to the original trajectory.

"From this moment...all the memories, those people, those things, don't need to be used for reference..."

Lin Mu looked at the few contestants running wildly on the track, feeling both complicated and relieved!
　It's a holiday, but the weekend doesn't belong to me anymore, the child is heaven!Therefore, it has to be so out of context.

　　I've already covered my head, the spitting stars should not splash on my face, sorry, cold sweat, embarrassing
