Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 939 The Situation Is Serious

In the last Portland Indoor World Championships, although the Chinese team won the men's 60-meter sprint event for the first time, Su Bingtian won the championship, while Lao Yi only won one. Just runner-up.

This is also the first time in the past few years that Guo Zizhao and his disciples have lost the championship of this event.If Jiang Hengnan loses the gold medal in this event again at next year's World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, it will probably have a certain impact on his club's reputation.

What's more, Jiang Hengnan's "loyalty value" has successfully increased by 100 point after winning a 1-meter bronze medal in the London World Championships and a gold medal in the men's relay last year, reaching a level of 89 points, far from 90 points. The requirements for inheriting disciples are only 1 point short!
Guo Zizhao estimated that at most one more world-class champion would be able to bring Jiang Hengnan's "loyalty value" to 90 points, and thus be promoted to become an inheritance disciple.

Hiss... If he can't successfully win the championship at next year's Indoor World Championships, then he will have to postpone it to the World Cup Athletics Championships in September next year!

But no matter what, Jiang Hengnan must do his best in this Indoor World Championships!Even if you can't win the championship in the end, at least you can't be too shameful in terms of results!Besides, if it really doesn't work, Guo Zizhao plans to remove Coleman from the list of outer disciples when the International Indoor Competition starts next year.

Hmm...Although outside disciples can improve their reputation a lot, when it comes to the critical moment, the interests of the national team and their own club disciples should be the most important thing...

……

Of course, in addition to Jiang Hengnan and Zeng Jianhua, the two young disciples who are training in full swing, the veteran Yi Jing is also working hard to achieve his final short-span "Grand Slam".

As early as a year ago, Yi Jing achieved the "Grand Slam" of the men's 110-meter hurdles in the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games.This year, Yi Jing won the 110-meter hurdles championship in the World Championships again.For Yi Jing, the only championship he has not won so far is the 60-meter hurdles championship in the Indoor World Championships.

When the Portland Indoor World Championships started two years ago, because Yi Jing had to prepare for the Olympic Games with all his strength, and because he didn't have a big advantage in the 60-meter hurdles, Yi Jing didn't dare to put the cart before the horse. I'm going to be distracted by practicing the 60-meter hurdles.

But now, I have won one championship in all the top competitions in the 110-meter hurdles event, and I have won two championships in the World Championships. If I can win another championship in the 60-meter hurdles, then It's complete!At that time, not only will he become the fourth player to achieve the "Grand Slam" in the short-span event besides Guo Zizhao, Alan Johnson and Liu Feifei, the number of championships he won in the top international competitions will also be the same. It can be compared with Liu Feifei!

Besides, I will be 30 years old next year, and I don't have any major international competition tasks next year. If I don't take advantage of this last opportunity to sprint, I guess I will have no chance in the future...

And when Yi Jing started to go all out to attack the 60-meter hurdles, Yi Jing's idea of ​​achieving a short-span "Grand Slam" also stimulated another player in the club, that is American veteran Aris Merritt.

You know, Aris Merritt is not only short of a gold medal in the World Cup track and field competition, but also can achieve the short-span "Grand Slam"!Moreover, Merritt missed the last World Cup track and field competition because he was going to have a kidney transplant. Therefore, Merritt also wanted to take advantage of this last chance to give himself a "Grand Slam" record Opportunity.

After all, Merritt will be 33 years old next year, and the contract signed between Merritt and Guo Zizhao Club will expire at the end of next year. After that, will he still have the chance to compete on the track again? Merritt Te is also unpredictable.Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that I still barely have the top international strength, I went to the World Cup track and field competition to fight for it, which became the motivation for Merritt's training.

In the midst of everyone's busy training, 2017 came to an end.

Although 2018 is just a small year for international track and field, although there are no top competitions such as the Olympics and the World Championships, since the three important events of this year's Indoor Athletics World Championships, the World Cup of Athletics and the Asian Games are all gathered in the same year, so for For Chinese track and field athletes, it is also a year full of expectations.

And Guo Zizhao also attaches great importance to this year. For nothing else, by the end of this year, he should accept the system's evaluation.Whether he can reach the standard of a big player in the sports world, whether he can continue to enjoy himself, depends on his performance in the last year, so at this critical moment, he must not lose the chain...

……

At the beginning of 2018, Jamaican Lightning Bolt finally officially announced his retirement in front of the media.

After experiencing three failed games at the London World Championships last year, Bolt also finally lost confidence in future games.Although the Jamaican Athletic Association is also trying its best to keep it, but it still can't stop Bolt's decision to go.

In Bolt's view, since his own strength has declined seriously and there is no possibility of winning the championship, there is no point in persisting.Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if I couldn't even make it to the finals at the Doha World Championships two years later...

And with Bolt's retirement, only Zhang Peimeng has the strength to win the international competition among the several 10-meter super masters who ran the international super abnormal results.Guo Zizhao and Bolt have retired, and Blake's score has dropped to about 31 seconds. Gay and Powell are still struggling with third-rate international scores in low-level international competitions. The [-]-year-old Zhang Peimeng probably won't last long.

The turmoil of Bolt's retirement has not yet subsided, and Guo Zizhao also accompanied Jiang Hengnan to start this year's international indoor track and field tour.

Guo Zizhao is so active this time, in addition to helping Jiang Hengnan adapt to the rhythm of the indoor competition faster, he also wants to observe the situation of other opponents at close range.

At the Ghent Indoor Competition in mid-January, Jiang Hengnan easily won the first race with a time of 1 seconds.Guo Zizhao is still very satisfied with Jiang Hengnan's performance. In the 6-meter event, Jiang Hengnan was able to explode with stronger strength.

But after a few days, Guo Zizhao's mood was not so happy.

……

On January 1, Jiang Hengnan and Su Bingtian were also invited to participate in the US Clemson Indoor Track and Field Invitational.In this 20-meter sprint final, Guo Zizhao saw two amazing American teenagers, Coleman and Ronnie Baker.

That's all for Ronnie Baker. This young sprinter who has been on the rise since last year actually has a "potential value" of 96 points. In the future, he also has the opportunity to become a top international sprinter in the [-]-meter sprint event. However, his current strength Still a little bit worse!
In addition, the current development of this teenager's various attributes is also very uneven. In terms of "strength" and "speed" attributes, Ronnie Baker has just reached the international top level of 93 points, and the attributes of "agility" and "accuracy" But it has just stepped into the international first-class threshold of 90 points, while the "skill" and "endurance" attributes are even worse, still hovering at the international second- and third-rate levels of 88 and 86 points.

Therefore, with the current strength of Ronnie Baker, it may still be a bit of luck to run within 9 seconds in the 90-meter time, but there is no problem in stabilizing at the international first-class level of 9 seconds. .

But when it comes to the 60-meter sprint, Ronnie Baker's "strength" and "speed" advantages are more obvious.Relying on these two top international attributes, plus the world-class "agility" and "precision" attributes, Ronnie Baker ran the international top in the 60-meter event, even the international top within 6 seconds 45 Results are also possible!
Except for Ronnie Baker, Coleman, who had long made Guo Zizhao scruples, surprised Guo Zizhao even more this time.

Damn it...it has only been more than a month, and Coleman's "Strength" attribute has actually increased by 1 point, reaching a perverted level of 95+1 points!

Let me go... Although Coleman's several attributes are also very unbalanced, the "agility" attribute is still only 94+1 points at the top international level, while the other attributes are still between the first and second-tier international levels. Nothing has changed.However, this increase in "strength" attribute may not be obvious for his 60-meter performance, but for the [-]-meter sprint, this is a qualitative leap!
With Coleman's current attributes and strength, he is completely capable of running a super abnormal time of less than 6 seconds 40!Damn... this time, Jiang Hengnan's trouble is really a bit big...
