Run Out of My Life

16:20 PM.

The preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay race started. Since it is a major group event, there are not many member countries participating in the Asian League. In the three group matches of the preliminaries, the relay races of each delegation were all pieced together. Many of the 4×100-meter relay races in many member states were not sprinters, but all kinds of players such as long jump and pole vault.

After all, the number of members of the delegation is limited. In addition to the large number of Chinese and Japanese delegations, the other ones with complete relay teams are Thailand, India, HK, and the host Philippines, etc. Eight or nine representatives group.

Although Su Zu did not play in the relay team preliminaries, as a substitute, he also warmed up together. At this time, he wore a thin jacket and waited on the sidelines, watching the relay preliminaries begin.

The athletes of the Chinese relay team are all acquaintances of Su Zu, the first is Shen Yunbao, the second is Chen Jian, the third is He Jun, and the fourth is Yang Guangzong .

It should have been Yin Hangchao who ran third, but after participating in the Complete Championships, he seemed to have a recurrence of an old injury and did not participate in the Asian Championships. He was replaced by He Jun, who was also good at cornering skills replace.

After the Chinese team's four-bar relay players came on the court, the athletes and coaches of several relay teams from Japan, Thailand and India on the court were somewhat different, because the Chinese team won the 100m yesterday and was the strongest The player turned out to be a substitute.

Perhaps the overall strength is strong enough, and there is no need for a champion to participate.

However, even so, none of the relay racers from various countries dared to take it lightly.

In the men's 100m final last night, Su Zu won the gold with a time of 10.16 seconds, and Chen Jian followed closely and won the silver medal with a time of 10.25 seconds. The third place was narrowly won by Kazakh player Chenuohal in 10.27. Behind him was Saudi Arabia's Al Yami in 10.28. Shen Yunbao took the sixth place in the group in 10.42.

In the men's 100m event, the Chinese team took the first, second, sixth and third places, and the men's 200m had three, four or two. The pressure on athletes from various countries in the relay race is already great enough.

In terms of the average sprint strength of relay runners, even Japan and Thailand are far behind. However, in addition to personal strength, the most important part of the relay test is the technical details and tacit understanding.

The Chinese team was in the third group of the preliminaries, and coincidentally, the same group also had the Thailand team, the champion of last year's Asian Games men's 4×100 meters.

The relay race of the first two groups went very smoothly, and soon the first and second preliminary groups competed for the top two, Sri Lanka and Japan, India and HK team.

The third group of preliminaries began to take their places on the field.

"Set."

"Pop!"

The starting gun sounds and the game begins!

Although he was not on the field, Su Zu also felt a surge of excitement when he saw Shen Yunbao running out of the corner.

The cheers from the sidelines also changed from silence to enthusiasm after the gunshots of the relay race.

On the side of the arena, the three coaches, Yu Liwei, Li Zhizhong and Yuan Guohua, were staring at the players on the track and field, their eyes were reluctant to blink.

"Be careful when handing over the baton, be safe, don't make mistakes, our strength is enough."

The head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guohua, clenched the corner of his shirt tightly and whispered about various technical points.

The Chinese relay team this time can be said to be the top team in Asia at present. After a long period of running-in training, it is the relay team with the most strength to compete for the championship.

But the more this is the case, the more people worry about gain and loss.

The goal given by Yuan Guohua before the game is to enter the finals safely and not to make major mistakes like dropping the stick. No matter how strong you are, as long as you lose a stick, you will miss at least a few seconds, and you will basically never have another chance.

On the field, the first two bats of the Chinese team ran smoothly. Shen Yunbao successfully handed over the baton to Chen Jian with a slight advantage after the first one. The second best Chen Jian, with his strong personal strength, quickly opened the gap with the other players, leading the Thailand team in second place by almost one meter.

After all, the second and sixth place in the 100 meters of an Asian Championship is far beyond the strength of other relay players.

"Oops, shit!"

With an exclamation, everyone on the sidelines widened their eyes at the same time.

Chen Jian, the second best player on the field, has run the final distance and is taking over the baton with He Jun, the third best player.

However, for some unknown reason, He Jun's acceleration at the start was not enough. The first handover, the two staggered, and they did not succeed.

After two or three steps, they were almost out of the relay area. Chen Jian gave the baton to He Jun for the second time.

But in this slight delay, the Thai team and the Oman team behind have successfully caught up.

The situation suddenly became serious.

The third bat He Jun chased after the baton, he and Yang Guangzong's fourth bat handover was also smooth, and both of them were desperately trying to regain the disadvantage. With the sprint strength far exceeding other teams, the gap is constantly narrowing little by little.

But in the end, it will only catch up with the Oman team just before the finish line, behind the Thailand team, and won the second place in the group.

"Hur-"

When they saw that the Chinese team won the second place in the group, Su Zu and several coaches took a deep breath.

"It's a little scary!"

In the final of the men’s 4×100m relay race, the top two teams from each preliminaries group will advance directly, and the top two teams in the remaining teams will take the top two scores. A total of eight relay teams will participate. finals.

The most secure final qualification is the top two in the group, and the remaining teams rely on the ranking to qualify for the two finals. There is no reference between each group, and no one can say for sure.

…

"Chen Jian, He Jun, what was the problem when the two of you handed over the baton just now? Why didn't you succeed the first time?"

In the lounge of the Chinese team after the game, Yuan Guohua called together the five men's 4×100 meters relay team members to discuss the gains and losses in the preliminaries just now.

Shen Yunbao and Yang Guangzong looked at each other and didn't say a word. The problem just now was mainly about two or three sticks, and they didn't have much relationship.

"I just didn't slow down enough, maybe I practiced more with Yin Hangchao before, and the speed was a bit too high." Chen Jian was silent for a while, then said.

Seeing Chen Jian speak, He Jun hesitated for a while, and then said, "Coach, maybe I accelerated late. When I started to accelerate, I saw that Chen Jian had arrived, and I panicked."

There is no excuse for both of them, after all, it is a team project, and finding out the problem is the key.

"The understanding is not enough."

Yuan Guohua shook his head slightly, there were all kinds of emergencies in the relay race, and it was no surprise that he did not hold the athletes accountable.

Actually just now Yuan Guohua probably also saw the situation. He Jun also had some training time with the relay team, but as a substitute, the number of handovers in training was less.

In addition, the main problem is that Chen Jian's speed has exploded this year. As a special 200-meter athlete, He Jun is a little slow in start and acceleration, and can't achieve synchronization with Chen Jian .

He Jun and Chen Jianda have a big difference in speed. Since they cannot reach the best tacit understanding, there is not much to be tangled in the lineup change.

The relay race is a race against time, and the speed ratio of each player is taken into account. Yuan Guohua had an idea in his heart.

"Tomorrow's final, let's make adjustments. The first one is still Shen Yunbao, the second is Yang Guangzong, and the third is Chen Jian..." Yuan Guohua clicked on it by himself, and then pointed to He pointed to Su Zu who was behind the relay team, "The fourth, Su Zu, you go."

"Okay." Su Zu nodded. He had been looking forward to the relay race for a long time. He valued the gold medal in the team event in the relay race and didn't want to be left behind.

An excellent sprinter should not only get honors himself, but also help the team achieve results. The relay race is the best way to see the overall quality level and test the overall cooperation ability.

"Shen Yunbao and Yang Guangzong, your first two rods are striving for stability, and the speed of the two of you, even if you can't run the advantage, will not be left behind by others. The third rod, Chen Jian, yours The cornering skills are also good, and the distance of the three sticks is short, which is suitable for you to reach high speed, the last one, Su Zu, after you take over, you have a task, rush! Your speed is trusted by everyone."

As the national men's 100-meter record holder and the Asian Championships 100-meter champion, Su Zu's sprint strength is beyond doubt.

Shen Yunbao used the uplifting baton, the second bat Yang Guangzong used the down-pressing baton to pass to Chen Jian, and the third bat Chen Jian still used the uplifting baton to pass to Su Zu. Try to avoid our hesitation and confusion in the handover as much as possible. mistake."

Yuan Guohua knows the technical characteristics of each person. Since he has to adjust, he has a mature response plan.

It all depends on the finals tomorrow.
