Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 203 An Attempt at a New Running Method
On July 7th, the Super Grand Prix of Lausanne officially started.

In the morning preliminaries, Guo Zizhao easily passed.Now, with Guo Zizhao's own strength and the use of skills alone, he already has the level of catching up with the world's first-class masters.So this kind of preliminaries is really nothing to Guo Zizhao.

In the final in the afternoon, Guo Zizhao first started the men's 100m race.

The main opponents Guo Zizhao faced this time were Bolton, Su Lin and Thompson.In the end, Guo Zizhao won the championship with a time of 9 seconds even though he only used "powerful intermediate stride running shoes".

阿托.博尔顿以9秒90的成绩排在了第二位；No.3却是巴巴多斯的选手汤普森，成绩9秒95；而老将苏林今年的状态，则是下降得比较厉害。虽然排在了第四位，但10秒02的成绩却是怎么也说不过去啊。

With this score, it may be no problem to enter the Olympic finals, but if you want to win a medal, it is a bit hanging.Looking at the tired Canadian trapeze after the game, Guo Zizhao also felt a little emotional. At this time last year, this buddy was fighting Green with himself!At last year's World Championships, he also ran an astonishing time of 9 seconds.I didn't expect that after only one year, my grades have dropped so much. Time is really not forgiving... Well, let's get more gold medals while I'm still young!

……

Guo Zizhao also paid special attention to the men's 400m final an hour later.Because Johnson didn't come this time, he didn't have a good target to use the "powerful intermediate follow-up sprint skill".If you run with your own strength alone, you don't know how well you can run this time.

"Although there are no American athletes participating in this competition, there are also several strong opponents." Song Ping watched Guo Zizhao stretch his ligaments with the help of Guo Sheng, and at the same time analyzed the opponents for Guo Zizhao, " According to the results of the preliminaries, you are placed in the third lane. The fourth lane is Brazilian player Pereira. You two played against each other in Raleigh in the United States, and the strength of the opponent is no worse than yours."

"Yes," Guo Zizhao nodded.

"The fifth track is the Bahamas player Iwald Merck. This player is about the same age as you. This year's best time is 5 seconds, and he is also a player with strong impact in the second half."

"Finally, there is the German player Schultz in track 6. This year's best time is 44 seconds. The rest of the players don't need to be considered. They are too far behind you."

"Well, okay." Guo Zizhao nodded, "The running method this time is still the same as before. I will start to accelerate slowly from the straight. However, I will make some adjustments according to the specific situation of the race."

"Okay, you can handle the specific situation yourself." Dad also nodded, "But you have to be careful, don't get hurt."

. . . . . .

After 10 minutes, the men's 400m final officially began.

With the sound of a gunshot, all eight players immediately stood up and rushed out.Guo Zizhao was also in good shape in this game. After using the potion, his "stamina value" reached 91 points, and his "status value" also reached 92 points.Coupled with the blessing of "powerful mid-level running shoes", Guo Zizhao slowly increased his speed to close to his fastest speed shortly after starting.

Well, it's almost there. With the "precision" attribute of 79.5 points, he is already close to the fastest speed that can perfectly control himself on the curve.Of course, my fastest speed on the curve is only the 9th floor of my fastest speed on the straight road.

But, not anymore!It's time, let's start... Guo Zizhao also gritted his teeth, and immediately activated the "Powerful Intermediate Curve Sprint Skill".

That's right!It is "powerful intermediate cornering sprint skill"!
This time, Guo Zizhao actually used the sprint skill that was only activated at the second corner in advance at the first corner.

I saw that Guo Zizhao's speed was immediately raised to another level.With the blessing of his skills, he almost reached his fastest speed on the straight, and chased after the Brazilian Pereira who was in the fourth lane from the right.

……

Guo Zizhao's sudden change of running style this time was really a whim and a temporary decision.

It turned out that when he was about to enter the field, Guo Zizhao suddenly thought about the running methods of several opponents this time.Unlike Michael Johnson's distinctive running style, Pereira's 400-meter running style can be said to have no bright spots.

After the last fight, Guo Zizhao discovered that Pereira ran down the entire 400-meter lap with a relatively stable speed.None of the sections were particularly fast, but none of them were particularly slow. In the end, we achieved good results by relying on the overall average advantage.

If Guo Zizhao chose Pereira as his follower, it would be a bit tasteless.After all, Pereira did not have a particularly prominent stage of advantage throughout the game, and could not form an effective complementary advantage with Guo Zizhao.

And another opponent, Merck from the Bahamas.According to Song Ping's information, he is a player who is good at the second half of the sprint.Then there is no need to follow.

In this case, there are only two sprint skills that can be used in this game.Guo Zizhao estimated that most of the future finals will be like this.After all, the conditions for using the following skills are too harsh.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, why don't I try to verify other running methods?After all, during normal training, Guo Zizhao was reluctant to spend so much experience points to experience the feeling of running 400 meters with all his strength.

As for whether he can win the championship, it is a trivial matter.After I won the 100-meter championship, I already got 1 attribute point.If I can test a more suitable running method this time, wouldn't it be a profit?
. . . . . .

My 400-meter running method is different from all of them.Depending on the usage time of the skill, the running method can also change at any time.Although according to habit, I put the two sprint skills in the second half.When I competed with Johnson last time, I also used the skill of following the sprint in the second half of the first straight.But is this necessarily suitable for you?
A normal 400-meter sprinter must have the fastest speed in the first 200 meters because he has more physical strength.In the next 200 meters, due to lack of physical strength, the speed must be slower.World-class masters can generally control the gap between the two at about 1 to 3 seconds.

In the last race in Raleigh, Johnson's gap in the front and rear half was controlled to about 1 second.Because Guo Zizhao used two skills in the second half, his speed was slower than the first half, less than 0.7 seconds.

From this point of view, it seems that there is no problem for him to use the sprint skill in the second half.Because when I use the sprint skill, I am not restricted by physical attributes.In this way, the speed is directly increased by 5%, and no additional energy will be consumed.In this way, it is most appropriate to use the sprint skill at the slowest and longest time-consuming stage.

Just like a certain distance, if Guo Zizhao takes 10 seconds to run it.After using the sprint skill, the speed increased by 5%, and the time can be finished in 9.5 seconds, saving 0.5 seconds; similarly, if Guo Zizhao himself can run the next distance in 9 seconds, after using the skill, he can only run Saved 0.45 seconds only.Therefore, it is more cost-effective to use skills at the slowest stage.

……

When was your slowest stage?

According to Song Ping's last analysis, on the straight, Guo Zizhao's slowest stage is of course the last 0.5 meters.Therefore, there is no problem in using the straight sprint here; but on the curve, the slowest stage of Guo Zizhao is not necessarily the second curve.In the last race, Guo Zizhao's speed at the first corner after the start was [-] seconds slower than that at the second corner.

Although Guo Zizhao had the blessing of sprinting skills in the second corner last time, the speed would definitely be faster.But after all, Guo Zizhao's "precision" attribute is also different now, and the situation under full play may also be different.

Although under normal circumstances, the physical strength when running the second corner is definitely not as good as the first corner at the beginning.But the second corner also does not have the process of starting and accelerating at the first corner?Therefore, for most of the top players, the speed of the second corner is generally faster than that of the first corner.

Isn't Michael Johnson's speed at the second corner faster than the first corner?Since he can do it, why can't he?

If I knew this earlier, I should have tried it during training.See if you only use running shoes and two potions, and don't use skills, which corner is slower?Wouldn't it be possible to target in this way?
However, when he thought that if he did this, he would have to spend 90 experience points in vain, Guo Zizhao felt distressed again.Since this is the case, it is the same for me to try it in the competition now!
Give it a try, anyway, you won't get pregnant if you try...
