just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 325 The Eve of the Semifinals

Yanjing Olympic Village.

Just when Feng Yong and Luo Yi were worried, Lin Mu had already brought Zhao Lin to the small stadium, and they were fully armed with running equipment.

In Yanjing at night in August, the temperature is not low. After a day of scorching on the runway, there is still some residual heat, but it doesn't look cold.

It was not too late. After the [-]-meter rematch, Lin Mu gathered the athletes and returned to the Olympic Village.

Then he took the camera, brought Bai Hongcheng and Zhao Lin, and rushed here without stopping.Until now, Zhao Lin is still a little confused.Several times I wanted to ask the coach what he was doing, but I finally held back.Anyway, it's not too late, he's not tired, and the coach has never been a person who likes to do meaningless things.

Putting down his bag, he ordered Bai Hongcheng to relieve Zhao Lin's muscle fatigue, and left them alone.He turned on the camera to check the video.

Bai Hongcheng didn't ask anything, just nodded and began to serve Zhao Lin.

His mind is alive and he likes to think about it. After several years of hard work, Bai Hongcheng has become more proficient in dealing with the hidden dangers of athletes' injuries and relieving fatigue.

Feeling with hands, kneading, pressing, pinching, holding, after a few strokes, accompanied by several painful stretches and squeezes, Zhao Lin felt a burst of comfort and relaxation.

"Brother Bai, you are the best!" Zhao Lin couldn't help but sighed, and then said with a smile: "Brother Bai, why don't you come to join me in the future?"

His team is already a relatively independent small team. Except for the first leader in charge of his team, who is the coach who manages all the small teams, the other members serve him full-time.

Team doctor and physical therapy are of course indispensable, but Zhao Lin still feels that the physical therapist following him is far behind Bai Hongcheng.Not on a technical level, but on understanding them and how to use them.

"Hey, you kid, don't give me a high hat." Bai Hongcheng cursed with a smile, glanced sideways at Zhao Lin, and still didn't stop the movement of his hands, "Besides, your little junior brother doesn't have a team now, The coach arranged for me to serve full-time, do you want to poach your junior brother? Say it in front of the coach, is it appropriate?"

"Hey, Brother Bai, are you trying to provoke me to be jealous of my junior brother?" Zhao Lin "enjoyed" Bai Hongcheng's service, and responded to each other.

Junior brother, Su Tian, ​​a child he likes very much, and he respects them veteran players very much.Diligent and love to learn, as long as you have time, you can ask them behind you.Training, competition, many, many.He didn't mind either, except for Shen Huan, that boring gourd, they all came here like this.

Of course, what Zhao Lin likes more is that he trains hard, and he has practiced according to the coach's training plan until now, and his performance has improved steadily.Although he was not able to run under 10 seconds from Xiaobai in half a year, Zhao Lin also understood that it was because of his young age.

The coach arranged it in the direction of a relatively long-term and gentle improvement to fully utilize his talent potential.Um!The younger brother's talent is higher than his back then.

"It's sour, Lin Zi, haha!" After pressing one side, Bai Hongcheng naturally switched to the other side, and made fun of him as he walked past Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin touched his head and smiled nonchalantly.

Su Tian now enjoys the coach's "monopoly", because he doesn't have his own fixed team, so in terms of guidance and arrangement, the core staff of the coaching team are responsible.

If the coach stops running in the future, it can be seen that those in the coaching team who specialize in assisting the coach in training and competition will naturally move to Su Tian.

There is a little envy, but not jealousy. When the coach took him by his side, he received no less care than anyone else. He was also the envy of others.Under a coach, there will be such a process.

I just hope that Su Tian will not disappoint the coach's "single favorite".Back then, he had lived up to it, and Shen Huan was back on track after he had slipped away for nearly a year and came back.It's Su Tian now, and I don't know what the future will be, but it seems to be okay for now.

As Su Tian's senior brother and senior in the team, Zhao Lin and Brother Yang have the same idea.They have the responsibility and obligation to care for and supervise these young people.Perhaps, this is the inheritance that the coach said!

Zhao Lin fell into silence, and the slight smirk on his face also quietly disappeared. He thought of the coach's hard work for so many years.The longer the time, the more he understands, and he also understands the expectations that he is given now, and he has his responsibility and responsibility.

Zhao Lin didn't speak anymore, he seemed to be thinking about something, Bai Hongcheng didn't bother him anymore, and continued to do his work, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a while.

A few minutes passed, and Lin Mu skipped and watched the video. He observed all the previous observations and small details of the movements.Now I just identify the problems I see.

"Huh? Don't talk anymore?!" Lin Mu looked at the silence of the two, and continued with a smile: "Don't talk anymore, just watch this video. I've marked the places you need to pay attention to. You watch first , I'm going to warm up!"

Passing the camera to Zhao Lin, Lin Mu began to warm up on the runway.

After taking the camera, Zhao Lin didn't delay, turned on the playback, adjusted it to the slowest playback speed, and started watching it carefully.This should be the purpose why the coach specially brought him here.

With just one glance, Zhao Lin was a little puzzled, this is his own run in the rematch.Is there really something wrong?Zhao Lin felt a little uneasy.

Fast-forwarding and skipping the previous screen, until he started running, he stopped and looked more intently.Here are the notes specially added by the coach.

"Ok?"

After looking back and forth three or four times in a row, he seemed to have discovered something.

When he stretched out the palm of his arm, his fingers were partially bent, and there was also a slight problem with the angle of the wrist joint.He doesn't know how big the impact will be, but some impact is certain.And when pulling up the figure, it seems that this situation is gone.

Is it this?

Zhao Lin rubbed his chin and began to analyze in his mind.The slightly stubble that came out was a bit thorny, he regained his senses, and then pressed play to look behind.

Another marked place, approaching the sprint distance on the way, and some hand movements again, but subtler than before.But it seems that there are some problems with the whole upper body, and it leans forward a little.

After years of training and competition, he is also an excellent athlete with both theory and practice.The focus of the last training session recently was to stabilize the core and establish a new balance for the body. He has been training for several months since the start of winter training, and he can see that such movements have some impact on stability.

It's still the same, the range is very small, and it's hard to determine how much the impact will be, but the impact is certain.As top athletes like them, maybe the final difference is that little impact.

Continue to turn back to the crossing line. There is no special mark. After watching, Zhao Lin turned off the camera and closed his eyes to think.

He tried his best to recall the whole process of the rematch, and even revisited the process of the morning preliminaries.He found that he didn't feel anything, and the waist, abdomen and upper body could barely explain the lack of core stabilization training, but the hands and wrists definitely didn't exist.

He can see that this is not a problem with technical movements.He asked himself that there would be no major problems in technical movements.Even if he doesn't believe in himself, he still believes in the coach. If there is such an unstable problem, the coach must have pointed it out a long time ago.Won't wait until now.

Is that the subconscious mind?Or is it excited and excited to the point where you can't control yourself?
I was a little bit excited. How could I not be a little excited when I competed against foreigners in front of so many Chinese people, with the cheers and cheers of the Chinese people.But certainly not to the extent that it affects the state of mind.

Nervous? !When you are so nervous that your hands are slightly deformed, when you are about to sprint, your upper body unconsciously wants to move forward and cross the line faster?
Zhao Lin pondered. He actually felt a little bit about today's game.It's not the feeling of movement deformation. As for the tension, he doesn't feel it at all.

But after running down, when the results were announced, he felt in his heart that he did not meet his expectations, and the difference was not big. He thought about it and didn't think about it.Now it seems that this is actually the problem.

I didn't really feel nervous, but the fact that the body was honest, did.

Because of what?
In my mind, I looked back at the past scenes and all kinds of people around me.His family, those who cheered him on and those who had high hopes for him.The team leaders, coaches, and the master he respects and appreciates most in his heart.

"How? Do you understand?"

During the meditation, a friendly and deep voice sounded in his ears, and Zhao Lin came back to his senses.Looking at the coach who had finished warming up and walked in front of him, Zhao Lin's mind became clear for a while.

"Understood, coach!" Zhao Lin nodded, then shook his head again, "I didn't feel nervous, but I did. I don't know how to deal with things I didn't realize! Coach..."

Zhao Lin looked at the coach expectantly. He wanted to do his best, and this time he couldn't afford to make mistakes.He has the ability to resist pressure, he also has the mentality, and he has the attitude of desperately competing in the competitive state.But as he thought before, these unconscious things, he doesn't know how to deal with them.

"Hmm!" Lin Mu nodded with a smile, "At first, I thought I would let you see it, because consciousness and unconsciousness are actually quite contradictory. But I decided to point it out to you. I was negligent before, but The problem is not big, I believe you have enough strength and mentality to face these now."

"Coach, then..."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Come on, the main purpose of today is not to tell you this. If it is just to point out the problem, why come here at night. Haha!"

He waved his hand and didn't let Zhao Lin continue. Lin Mu continued with a smile: "I will officially retire after this Olympic Games, and I won't run any more competitions. I brought you here today, just to run a few games with you. The official competition I have never run 100 meters or 60 meters before, although there are some curves here, but running almost 100 meters has little effect, and now we, master and apprentice, have run a few times, just to compare!"

Zhao Lin was a little dazed, the coach sang it, and pulled him to run at night?Also Bibi?

I once joked that I wanted to compete with the coach in the 60 meters and [-] meters, but the coach smiled and stopped.Now it will come at this time.

Run and run, this is also a little wish, Brother Yang has competed, but lost.

Zhao Lin remembered that he was about to run, and felt a little eager to try, and temporarily let go of the things that were still entangled.

He ran as soon as he said he would, and the warm-up and physiotherapy were all in place. It was just a simple bibi, and there was nothing to prepare for.No starting blocks, timers or anything.One of them chose a runway, which was almost equivalent to the position of the last leg of the relay, and then roughly measured the distance of the forward reach, and the two were ready to start straight.

Bai Hongcheng stood at the finish line with a whistle and shouted the official password.

"SET!"

"beep~"

On a quiet night, in the small training ground, a crisp whistle broke the silence.

The whistle was separated by a distance, and there was a slight delay in reaction. When it reached the ears of the master and the apprentice, they suddenly rushed out.

It doesn’t matter the starting point or posture, and even the results of this run will not be recorded, but the rigorous attitude towards every training and every run that is engraved in my bones will not change.

The two appeared to be very serious. With a short curve and a straight road of tens of meters, the master and apprentice had already crossed the finish line in the blink of an eye.

Standing behind the finish line, Bai Hongcheng stared at the oncoming people, and then, two strong winds passed by, and he was in a daze for a moment.

is really fast!
Bai Hongcheng was very emotional. It is not uncommon for Zhao Lin to be fast. The [-] meters has always been his special project. Such a curve and straight road will not have much impact.But why is the coach so fast?Usually it’s quick to look at, but without comparison, there is never any specific concept in consciousness.

The current situation surprised him with a bit of disobedience.If you run 400 meters, maybe you can run 200 meters well, but what happens if you can beat Zhao Lin in 100 meters?
Yes, just now he felt that the coach was about to take a slight lead.The gap is extremely small, and there are various objective factors, but the difference is similar.This is Zhao Lin, the top [-]-meter runner who once broke the world record.In this way, does it mean that if the coach trains well, he can even run a [-] meters and have a chance to win a medal in the final?
Bai Hongcheng shook his head involuntarily, he didn't want to think about it anymore.At this moment, he felt more clearly about the pity he had been the coach of the team.

"How... how? You... coach, I'm not old yet!"

Panting heavily, Lin Mu took Zhao Lin back leisurely and made a joke with a smile.

"Coach, you are amazing!"

Bai Hongcheng could feel their wins and losses, and Zhao Lin could also feel it. He just paid more attention on purpose.He does really feel that the coach is great, but this is still a situation where he has not specially trained.

"Take a break for a few minutes, let's come again and give you a chance to come back, this time let's change lanes, don't say I'm taking advantage of you!"

Lin Mu didn't care about winning or losing, and continued joking: "Old Bai, come and give us a slow..."

How did Zhao Lin agree to what the coach said.In fact, he held his breath a little after running. The coach taught them to run, and even gave up many opportunities to run by himself. He couldn't be too bad.

At least you can't lose to the coach in the [-] meters. Maybe it's hard for the coach to win if you don't count the corners and make a regular start, but that's not the reason.

"Coach, okay, I can definitely win!"

After resting, Bai Hongcheng was also busy to relieve the tense muscles of the two of them.Zhao Lin then said, "Invite to fight".

"it is good!"

Changed the track and got ready to start. After the whistle sounded, another competition began.

"Haha... Coach, I won!"

"Boy, I wasn't ready this time. Do it again!"

"Boy, I said I wasn't ready just now!"

"Coach, you are using fatigue tactics. I can't run 100 meters as much as you can run 400 meters..."

"What nonsense? I am a professional 400-meter runner. How can you argue with someone like you who is a professional [-]-meter runner in a shorter distance?"

"..."

Bai Hongcheng smiled, he saw the rare master and apprentice laughing, especially the coach's occasional teasing, which was really rare in the past.

The first two times I felt surprised and fun.It was only a few times later that he felt something.

Thinking of Zhao Lin's little problem mentioned earlier, Bai Hongcheng had some feelings and understanding.

Maybe everyone is different, and persistent and strong people may have unknown weaknesses.

Pessimistic people may have their own paradise in their hearts.

For carefree and optimistic people, there may be things that are extremely concerned and entangled deep in their hearts.

I thought I knew it very well, but I didn't know it. It wasn't until after I was released that I felt it even more vividly.

On the runway, three figures moved from time to time, either running, stopping or walking.

The sound of footsteps was particularly harsh in the silent night sky. It was accompanied by laughter and laughter occasionally mixed with rapid breathing, but hearing it made people express their feelings.

Yanjing Olympic Village, inside the small stadium, the night is getting darker!
