Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 41 Track and Field Grand Prix in Shanghai
Shanghai is known as the city that never sleeps in China, the first batch of municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the political, economic, transportation, technological and cultural center of China's coastal areas.This is an international metropolis, with ten miles of foreign markets, neon lights, and the style of the Bund and Huangpu River have always been world-famous.

Not only that, Shanghai was also an internationally famous sports city in its previous life, and later many high-level sports events were often held in Shanghai.What track and field Golden League, Tennis Masters and F1 Rally, etc.Of course, the two flags of the Chinese sports world in later generations, Liu Feiren and Yao Juren, are also the pride of this city.But now, these two are still young and are still in the unknown stage.It will not gradually begin to emerge until after 2000.

4月11日，全国田径大奖赛魔都站的比赛正式开始。今年的大奖赛一共分为三站，第一站4月11~13日在魔都举行，第二站5月8日~10日在豫省漯河举行，最后的总决赛6月6日~8日在京城举行。

These three races are basically the highest level of domestic track and field competitions.In addition, there is still an inspection and selection of players for the World Championships in August, so the domestic masters will basically participate.

郭子昭还是参加100米和110米栏的比赛，赛程的安排还算比较宽松。11日上午参加两个项目的预赛，下午100米决赛。12日上午110米栏的决赛。

Guo Zizhao looked at the list of participants before the competition, and basically all the famous domestic sprinters are here. It is not easy to watch this competition.

Guo Zizhao still checked his status before the 100-meter preliminaries, which is not optimistic. The "stamina value" is 82 and the "status value" is 75, just to ensure normal performance.It seems that the opponents in this preliminaries are not weak, and their suppression is still very strong.Guo Zizhao began to equip the "status medicine" and "high-frequency running shoes" while slowly warming up.

At 9:30, the men's 100m preliminaries started on time.With a gunshot, Guo Zizhao rushed out quickly.Accelerate... Accelerate... As soon as it felt like 25 meters, Guo Zizhao immediately activated his "sprint skill" and rushed forward again with all his might.

Although Guo Zizhao still felt good this time, Guo Zizhao noticed with his peripheral vision that there was someone in front of him.You actually fell behind in the preliminaries. This has never happened before?Guo Zizhao immediately used all his strength to catch up...accelerate...

But the end of the 10-meter race was coming soon, Guo Zizhao was still a step behind, and entered the final with the second place in the group, with a time of 29 seconds.Guo Zizhao looked up at the No.1 team member, Yin Hanzhao, the flyer from Guangdong Province.It's a rival!

一个小时后，110米的预赛结束。郭子昭再次以小组第二的成绩进入决赛，成绩13秒85。小组No.1是魔都的“亚洲栏王”陈雁豪，成绩13秒76。

Although the results this time seemed to be good, Guo Zizhao felt unsatisfied.Guo Zizhao's last official competition in the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles was the city sports meeting in Jinling at the end of October last year.At that time, the 10-meter score was 10 seconds, and the 41-meter hurdle was 110 seconds.Although he has improved a lot now, don't forget that at that time Guo Zizhao's "Physique" and "Strength" were only at the level of a second-level athlete, and his "agility" was only at the level of a third-level athlete.

But now my "Physique", "Strength" and "Agility" have all reached the standard of a first-class athlete, and my "Speed" has reached the standard of an athlete, plus a bunch of skills and equipment, it should be close to the standard of a top athlete Bar.But this performance is still not ideal.

Although the 10-meter score was within 30 seconds for the first time, Guo Zizhao estimated that if his "state value" could be above 90, he should be able to run within 10 seconds.This is because the "spiritual" attribute is too poor, and the state is suppressed by these athlete-level opponents.

The 110-meter hurdles now have the bonus of "intermittent sprint skills". The last time I ran the 60-meter hurdles indoors was okay, but now I run the 110-meter hurdles outside, the duration of the skills is obviously insufficient.It only takes 5 seconds to maintain the distance between the 5 columns, so Guo Zizhao had no choice but to activate his skills when he reached the 5th column.The speed of the first few hurdles was still a bit slow, coupled with being suppressed by the state of "Asian hurdle king" Chen Yanhao, this time his running was still a bit unsatisfactory.

It seems that the first problem I have to face now is the suppression of my state by those top athletes.If this problem is not resolved, it is impossible to get good results in this Grand Prix series.It seems that the problem that the "spiritual" attribute is only at the level of a first-level athlete is very serious. This time I was negligent, thinking that with the "status potion" it would be safe.But now even if it is a "status potion", it can only add 10 points of "status value" at most to ensure that he can perform normally.It is impossible to perform supernormally every game like before.

In addition, the duration of the "intermittent straight line sprint skill" is only 5 seconds, which is not enough now, it would be great if it could be upgraded.

……

Perhaps it is really in response to the old saying that blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.When Guo Zizhao was preparing for the 100-meter final in the afternoon, Guo Zizhao felt his heart beating, his whole body was limp, and he couldn't lift his energy at all.

Guo Zizhao was taken aback, and quickly asked the system what was going on.Since I was reborn, I haven't been sick. Could it be that I suddenly fell ill?
However, the system said unhurriedly, "This is your first time to participate in the [-]-meter final at the highest level in China. At least half of the opponents on the field have a real level higher than yours. The aura is too great. It makes your mood and state fluctuate too much. It's okay, just drink some "status medicine" and you'll be fine."

Guo Zizhao quickly checked his status, and I went to...

"Physical Value" 77, "Status Value" 63, what the hell is this!Guo Zizhao couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart, he was still too optimistic.All the weak players were eliminated in the preliminaries, and all the opponents who entered the finals were athletes.

Come on, don't think about it too much, use the potion quickly. "Physical Potion", "Status Potion" and "High Frequency Running Shoes" are all equipped, and the game will start soon.

"Everyone take your place... get ready...", "Boom!"

"Beep, beep, beep, beep..."

Just as Guo Zizhao rushed out, he heard a rush of whistles.Guo Zizhao immediately realized that he had snatched away just now!
Grandma's, what a shame!Actually rushed away nervously...

Guo Zizhao let out a long breath, comforted himself, relax...relax... Fortunately, the track and field rules haven't been changed yet, the first sprint is just a warning, and the second sprint will only result in a foul.

Therefore, in games of this era, we often see the first-shot deliberate early-run tactics.On the one hand, you can press the gun to run, and if you succeed, you can improve your performance; on the other hand, if you are unsuccessful, you can also create tension, so that other athletes dare not react too quickly when they run for the second time.It was not until 2010 that the IAAF changed the rules for early starts.A preemptive run will not be given a warning, but will be sent off the court directly, and the preemptive run tactic is considered to be eliminated.

Guo Zizhao shook his head secretly, fortunately others did not see that his rushing away was actually caused by nervousness.But after such a toss, the tension in my heart was relieved a little.Guo Zizhao moved around for a while and stood on the starting line again.

"Everyone is in position...get ready...bang!"

This time Guo Zizhao did not run away, and rushed out with everyone.Speed ​​up the frequency...speed up...speed up...maintain the rhythm...activate the skills...

Guo Zizhao ran down step by step according to his own procedure. The shouts of people around him and the sound of horns stimulated Guo Zizhao's ears, but Guo Zizhao couldn't hear what everyone was shouting.I only know that I am not ranked first now, and I see someone in front of me from the corner of my eye, and I don't know how many people there are.But it doesn't matter now, I can only grit my teeth and run with all my strength, and run according to my own rhythm, and I must not be distracted by other people's rhythm.If his rhythm is messed up, his breath will be messed up, and his grades will get worse and worse.

Close... close... sprinting... crossing the line!

Guo Zizhao rushed more than ten meters before slowly stopping.Guo Zizhao felt that he was very tired from running this time, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped by something, as if he couldn't stretch his whole body.Moreover, at the end of the run, I felt that I didn't have enough breath, and my legs couldn't move.Guo Zizhao knew that it was because his state was suppressed so badly that his "state value" was only 73 after adding points, which was caused by his state being so low before.

The results came out soon, No.1 Chen Wenzhong, 10 seconds 24; No.2 Yin Hanzhao, 10 seconds 27; No.3 Zhou Wei, 10 seconds 31; No.4 Guo Zizhao, 10 seconds 33.Sure enough, Guo Zizhao's result was even worse than the preliminaries, he only ranked No.4, and he didn't even win a medal.

Depressed...

At this time, Dad also came over and comforted Guo Zizhao, "It's okay, it's the first time to participate in this kind of final. It's still a good run. This time I see that you have already taken the lead, are you a little nervous?"

"Well, I was nervous. I didn't know what happened, so I ran away." Guo Zizhao panted heavily, "Huh, huh... well, I won't do it next time."

"Okay. It's okay. Take your time. Go there and rest for a while. I'll give you a massage, pay attention to relax, and don't strain yourself."

……

In the 110m final on the second day, Guo Zizhao started warming up half an hour earlier than usual.At this stage, Guo Zizhao's pre-match warm-up usually takes about an hour.But now the state is not good, Guo Zizhao had to warm up slowly in advance, through warming up to adjust the state of mind and stimulate the state.

After the first day of adaptation, Guo Zizhao's state is a little bit better today, with a "stamina value" of 80 and a "status value" of 66. After using the potion, his physical strength reached 90 and his state of 76.Finally, I can play a little more normally.

However, Guo Zizhao also knew that with his current strength and state, it was still impossible for him to win the championship.It can only be to earn a medal, and it will look better on the face, but in fact it does not improve one's own strength.

Sure enough, the final of the 110-meter hurdles was over soon.Although Guo Zizhao performed slightly better than the preliminaries, he only won a bronze medal with a score of 13 seconds.The champion and runner-up are still the two "Asian hurdle kings" Chen Yanhao and Li Tong, with scores of 80 and 13 respectively.

Guo Zizhao's competition this time is all over.Although in the eyes of others, getting a bronze medal is also very good, but it has no effect on Guo Zizhao at all.

Sure enough, the system told me that if there is no champion in this competition, there will be no rewards.However, there are still experience points, a total of 150 points.Although Guo Zizhao was depressed, he still quickly accepted it. After all, he had already spent 100 experience points in this competition, so it would be nice to earn back 50 points.

My baby is suffering...

Thinking about flirting with Uncle Li before leaving, it seemed really embarrassing.No wonder Uncle Li just smiled and didn't take it seriously. It seems that the level of the national track and field finals is really not as simple as he thought.

Thinking of the two more games in May and June, Guo Zizhao felt a headache and nerve-wracking... He had to lose two more people.
