Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 101 Another Bronze Medal

Guo Zizhao, who returned to the rest area, was warmly welcomed by everyone.But under the intervention of the coaching staff, Guo Zizhao simply accepted interviews from several media, packed up and went back to the hotel to rest.There are still two games to be played today, so I have to take a good rest to recharge my batteries.

Guo Zizhao's side is calm, but the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV is very lively.This time, because Guo Zizhao, a popular figure, participated in the competition, CCTV also broadcast the competition live.In addition, this indoor world championship is held in Japan, and the audience is basically not affected by the time difference.And today is the weekend, so there are quite a lot of people watching the game at home.

In the past, when I watched such international competitions, I basically watched foreigners competing for the championship.Unexpectedly, this time I suddenly saw Chinese athletes, and they actually entered the finals.And it's a familiar face!

The Spring Festival Gala has just ended for more than half a month, and Guo Zizhao's coquettish singing is still popular on the street.Speaking of this, we have to admire the speed of piracy in our country.Two days after the end of the Spring Festival Gala, the songs of "Go Home and Have a Look" and "Five-Star Red Flag" can be heard all over the street.Therefore, everyone is quite familiar with the figure of Guo Zizhao now.

Coupled with the host's proud introduction, well, it was a pity that everyone only won a bronze medal for Guo Zizhao.Now that I hear it, I'll go... This buddy is so awesome!This is actually the first sprint medal won by an Asian at the Indoor World Championships!We are still Chinese cattle...

……

It is also in this era that there are no Weibo, WeChat, Toutiao, etc., otherwise Guo Zizhao would dominate the screen again immediately!Even so, the scene of Guo Zizhao winning the third place in the 60-meter final was played repeatedly on the TV.On the one hand, he also beeped and advertised that the bronze medal he won this time was of great significance.This marks that Chinese track and field has begun to enter the world's most influential men's sprint event, and it marks that Chinese sprinters have begun to rank among the world's top sprinters...

Well, if Guo Zizhao heard these explanations, he would probably spray that buddy in the face.

Top athlete?I think so too, but now I do still have some gaps!His current strength is nothing more than a world-class athlete.His biggest advantage is his stable performance. Because of the existence of the system, Guo Zizhao's competitive level will not fluctuate too much.Therefore, the results of each final can always be kept in the top 5 of the best results of the year.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the system that Guo Zizhao does not have much chance of an outbreak.Therefore, whether he can win the championship at present does not depend on Guo Zizhao but on the performance of his opponent.If the opponent's performance is outstanding, Guo Zizhao's stable performance can only compete for a medal; if the opponent's performance is not good, then Guo Zizhao's stable performance may miss a championship.

This is the gap between the top players and the top players.Although the results of the top players will fluctuate to a certain extent, as long as they perform well and their state explodes, the champion will be in their pocket.As for first-class players, not only must they rely on themselves to perform well, but also depends on the performance of their opponents.This is Guo Zizhao's current sorrow...

However, if I can get more attribute points this year and improve my attributes again, then the situation will be different in the future...

. . . . . .

Before the semi-final of the 60-meter hurdles in the afternoon, an unexpected good news came to Guo Zizhao. American athlete Alan Johnson retired due to injury.

American athlete Alan Johnson and British athlete Colin Jackson, since the mid-90s, have always been the "parallel heroes" that have dominated the men's sprint and hurdle events.So far, Johnson, who has just turned 28, has won two World Championships in the 110-meter hurdles, one Olympic 110-meter hurdles and one indoor World Championships in the 60-meter hurdles.In Guo Zizhao's memory, Johnson will continue to win many world championships after 2000.It wasn't until Liu Feiren was born that he slowly withdrew from the field.

And Colin Jackson, who is currently 32 years old, is not lost to Johnson.This British player with a height of only 1 meters is simply the best in the short-span event.
BUG exists.This short athlete brought the speed, rhythm and frequency between hurdles to the extreme.Moreover, he is also the current world record holder in the men's 60-meter hurdles and 110-meter hurdles, and is known as the "Hurdle King of the Century."

These two have basically locked the top two in the competitions they have participated in in recent years.In addition, the 60-meter hurdles champion of the last indoor world championship, player Garcia from Cuba.The competition for the 60-meter hurdles in this year's Indoor World Championships can be described as extremely fierce.

Originally, Guo Zizhao did not have much hope for this 60-meter hurdles competition.Now I didn't expect that Johnson would retire due to injury, hehe... Then my chances of hitting the medal have increased by one point?

Godsend opportunity!
……

In the semi-finals, Guo Zizhao, who was in a good mood, did not feel too much pressure. The "stamina value" of 83 points and the "status value" of 76 points can show that the level of this group is not too high.In the end, Guo Zizhao successfully entered the final as the first in the group.The score was 7 seconds, tying the Asian record he set at the Moscow Indoor Competition a few years ago.

In the evening finals, Guo Zizhao's "stamina value" also dropped to 81, and his "status value" suddenly became 71.

Let me go... It seems that the suppression of the two big men, Jackson and Garcia, is quite obvious.These players who have won the world's top track and field championships, it seems that they are not fuel-efficient.Guo Zizhao secretly rejoiced that Johnson had retired, otherwise his "state value" would have fallen below 70.

There is nothing more to say, it's time to fight.Apart from these two big shots, for the other players, Guo Zizhao felt that his chances of winning were quite high.After being fully armed, Guo Zizhao stood on the starting line full of confidence.

"on your marks...set"

"Bah!"

With a gunshot, all the players rushed out.Guo Zizhao ranked third with a starting time of 0.135 seconds.Jackson and Garcia, the two big men, are indeed outstanding, ranking the top two with a time of 0.122 seconds and 0.127 seconds.

After Guo Zizhao's "precision" attribute was improved, it also had a significant effect on the performance of the hurdling event.Through the "precision" attribute, you can improve the control ability and the fineness of the action.To put it simply, although Guo Zizhao's hurdling performance was good in the past, but because of the low value of the "accurate" attribute, once he competed with the world's first-class masters, he would give people a feeling of rough technical movements.Even if it is not compared with Jackson and other big players, compared with other athletes who entered the finals, Guo Zizhao's hurdling skills are slightly rough.This is the reason why the grasp of details is not enough.

It's not that Guo Zizhao's hurdling skills are not good, after all, Guo Zizhao has now accepted the "advanced hurdles and 110-meter hurdles sprinting skills" of the system upgrade.Therefore, Guo Zizhao is not weaker than any opponent in terms of technology and consciousness. What he lacks is his ability to control his body and technology.The "precision" attribute of only 57 points is only at the level of a second-level athlete.Obviously, with such an attribute value, it is still somewhat difficult to fully grasp the international level of "advanced sprinting skills".Especially for hurdle events, the requirements for the details of technical movements are higher.Therefore, if Guo Zizhao can further increase the "precision" attribute, the improvement in the performance of the 110-meter hurdles or 60-meter hurdles will be more obvious than the improvement in the performance of the 100-meter or 60-meter sprint.

The same is true for this 60-meter hurdles final.After three hurdles, Jackson and Garcia distanced themselves from the crowd, and the rhythm and frequency between the hurdles were perfect.No matter in terms of technique or speed, it is a level higher than other players.Although Guo Zizhao is trying his best to catch up, the gap between them has not narrowed, and he is still struggling in the second group.It wasn't until the end of the last column that Guo Zizhao finally stood out from the second group and thus occupied the No.3 position.

The final sprint, hit the line...

Everyone crossed the finish line in an instant, but Guo Zizhao knew that he finally got another bronze medal!

Oh yeah!Grandma's, it's not easy...

成绩很快显示了出来，杰克逊No.1，成绩7秒38，离5年前他创造的7秒30的世界纪录仅差了0.08秒。

I'm going... Livestock!Guo Zizhao complained silently, this result is the best result in recent years.At present, only Jackson himself has broken the mark of 7 seconds in such an international competition.As expected of a BUG existence...

Cuban player Garcia won the runner-up with a time of 7 seconds.And Guo Zizhao won a bronze medal again, with a score of 46 seconds, which was 7 seconds worse than in the semifinals.No way, who let his "status value" be suppressed so low...

. . . . . .

Guo Zizhao's start with another bronze medal made the rest area of ​​the Chinese team cheer again.Zhang Peng was even more excited and trembling when he spoke, "Two medals, two men's sprint medals. This time is really amazing, and finally made it through. The days to come will be easier... old man Guo, old Guo! Old Song!"

Zhang Peng turned around and greeted Song Ping and his father Guo Sheng, "Lao Guo, and Lao Song! I really want to thank you this time. Thank you for training this guy Guo Zizhao. This time he really gave us the Chinese team Your face is disgraced!"

Zhang Peng patted the shoulders of the two of them vigorously, and kept muttering, "It's really up to you this time. Without Guo Zizhao's two medals, this competition would be ugly."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Dad also had a smile on his face, "This kid is lucky this time. He still needs to work hard."

"Yes, yes." Song Ping also continued, "If Johnson hadn't retired this time, this kid's medal would have been suspended. The other members of the track and field team also worked hard. Why are you so pessimistic, Zhang. "

"Alas... that would only work if Guo Zizhao had strength. Without strength, he would not be able to seize the best opportunity." Zhang Peng shook his head, and continued, "Old man, don't comfort me. Everyone understands, It is basically impossible to win medals in other events. It is also thanks to Guo Zizhao being here this time, otherwise he would have gone back with his head shaved. Alas... so difficult!"

Zhang Peng patted Song Ping on the shoulder, shook his head and walked back.Song Ping and his father looked at each other, and couldn't help sighing, "Don't worry, Lao Guo. Lao Zhang has been under too much pressure recently."

"Well, it's okay." Dad Guo Sheng also nodded, "I know, it's not easy to guide Zhang. So, we have to relax in the future. Let Guo Zizhao get another gold medal, and then Lao Zhang will be at ease. too much."

"Haha... okay, let's do it!"
