Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 656 The Fate of the American Team
Guo Zizhao's premonition was correct, the American team still failed to escape the tragic fate of their previous life this time!

Soon, the first group of the men's 4x100 meter sprint relay preliminaries officially began.In this group, the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria and South Africa were all considered to be capable of entering the finals before the game.

After the gunshots, the top two players of the US team performed very well. Although Martin and Padgett were substitute players, they were also stronger than players from other countries in terms of strength.In addition, these two players did not compete in individual events in this Olympic Games, so they spent a lot of energy on the cooperation of the relay. After the first two batons were over, Padgett not only successfully handed over the baton to In the hands of the third baton, Button still maintained a slight lead.

The third best player, Button, is also very good. However, in the men's 10-meter semi-finals of this Olympic Games, Button was careless and only ran a time of 03 seconds. Unfortunately, he failed to enter the final.

But this time, Barton also went all out in this preliminaries, showed all his strength, and vented all the depression of not being able to enter the [-]-meter final.

However, what Button didn't expect this time was that although he was nearly one meter ahead of all his opponents and ran into the final baton handover area first, another even greater depression was waiting for him ahead!And this depression came from the last teammate Tyson Gay.

Guy hadn't fully familiarized himself with Button's running rhythm because of the short training time with everyone this time, and this time, under Button's full play, the next guy, Guy, started a little too late!

However, Guy is worthy of being the world's top sprinter. From the very beginning, Guy noticed that his starting timing was a little slow, so Guy accelerated a few steps with all his strength after starting, trying to pass the baton. The rhythm is incorporated into the normal trajectory.However, Guy accelerated with all his strength, and Button, who was preparing to hand over the baton from behind, was a little confused...

In fact, after Button rushed into the relay area, he also discovered that Guy had started a beat slower, but Button's thoughts were obviously different from Guy's.Since it's a slow shot, it's a slow shot, anyway, it's already entered the handover area, as long as the handover can be successfully completed, that's enough.With the current lead of the US team, even if the handover is a little delayed, they can still win the No.1 in this group of preliminaries.

Therefore, when Barton was about to catch up with Guy, he also began to slow down slowly, and then passed the baton to Guy with a loud roar.But... your sister's!Guy actually accelerated with all his strength at the moment he handed over the baton!I rely on... You haven't even taken the baton from Lao Tzu, are you adding that speed?

……

This time, not only did Button and Guy feel something was wrong, but even the on-site interpreter exclaimed, "No, the team's third team, Button and Guy, made a mistake in cooperating! Great! It's about to drop... Oh, the US team really dropped the stick!"

"Obviously, Gay started slowly. When Button ran behind him, Gay hadn't reached the predetermined relay point of the American team, so Gay wanted to accelerate to the predetermined position after the start and then take over the baton."

"However, because Barton is close enough to Guy, if he handed over the baton later, it may affect Guy's running, and even the two of them collided. Therefore, Barton also immediately Slow down and immediately signal Guy to take over."

"But I didn't expect that Guy chose to accelerate at this moment! Obviously, there was a problem with the cooperation between the two. One accelerated and the other decelerated. Button just handed the baton to Guy's hand, but Guy's An acceleration caused the baton to slip from his hand. Although Guy realized something quickly and slowed down immediately, it was too late! The baton had already fallen to the ground!"

"It's a pity! Everyone expected to see the relay confrontation between China, the United States and Canada in the finals tomorrow night, but what I didn't expect was that the US team would call an early curtain call in this way. Gay is already on the runway Not only that, but the Nigerian team also stopped playing, and the veteran Nigerian team unfortunately made a mistake in handing over the baton!"

"The Trinidad and Tobago team crossed the finish line first, followed by the Japanese team. This preliminaries really exceeded everyone's expectations. In addition to the powerful US team, there are three other teams also. There was an accident and I couldn’t complete the entire race.”

"The Trinidad and Tobago team, the Japanese team and the Dutch team unexpectedly won the top three in this group. They will directly advance to the final tomorrow night, and the remaining one will have to wait until It will be determined after the second group of matches is over!"

"This is really a game full of surprises! This is not the first time that the U.S. team has made such a major coordination error in top international competitions in the past ten years. In fact, with the strength of the U.S. team, as long as the baton is handed over steadily, In the hands of the next player, even if it's a little slower, he can still advance to the finals, but I didn't expect that this time there would be such a result."

……

The voice of the commentator also represents the opinions of most people. The US team has really suffered too much in the relay event in the past few years. It is really time to practice the handover technique and coordination, especially This time, Guy appeared in the fourth position he had never run before, which was considered by everyone to be the biggest failure.

After seeing the results of the first group preliminaries off the field, Feng Shuyong, Mai Shaoqiang and others also patted their chests with lingering fear, "I rely on...the United States, Nigeria, South Africa and Poland, there are actually 4 teams in this group There is a problem with the baton handover of the team, and the rate of mistakes is too high!"

"It's okay, okay!" Mai Shaoqiang also said secretly, "Our tacit understanding in relay cooperation is beyond the reach of other teams! With Guo Zizhao here, we will definitely be able to stabilize the morale of the army!"

"Well... that's right, everyone is an old team member, so there shouldn't be any problem!" Feng Shuyong also cheered himself up, while continuing to say, "Well, it's time for them to play, let's go and give some advice , and also relieve them of some psychological pressure.”

After saying that, Feng Shuyong turned around and walked towards Guo Zizhao and others with Mai Shaoqiang. But just as he walked nearby, he heard Guo Zizhao's voice rang out, "Everyone saw the game just now! Team USA We can’t make the same mistake we made with the Nigerian team! We have been training together for so long and are very familiar with each other. I won’t say more, but I will emphasize two points.”

"First, we must pay attention to the situation and status of the previous teammate later in the meeting, and be ready to start or adjust in advance at any time."

"Second, you must concentrate and don't be disturbed by other runners on the track."

"Finally, this is just the preliminaries. Don't be too nervous by the results of the first group. As long as we run steadily, we will definitely qualify. So, just relax and run! Don't be too nervous. So many worries!”

When coaches Feng Shuyong and Mai Shaoqiang listened nearby, their hearts that were still a little hung up calmed down.Haha... With Guo Zizhao, a veteran who has experienced many battles, on the battlefield, what else can't be done?Guo Zizhao is right, as long as we can run steadily, qualifying will be a piece of cake. We are just worrying...

"Okay, I think what Guo Zizhao said sounds good, let Guo Zizhao take the lead, and let's not make trouble!" Seeing this situation, Feng Shuyong pulled Mai Shaoqiang and quietly retreated to the side.

Mai Shaoqiang followed behind Feng Shuyong, with a wry smile all over his face, so...he is the head coach of the relay team, why does he feel like he is being emptied out now...
