All-round Athlete

Chapter 21 The First Relay Race

Chen Jian said that Zhang Guan was very similar to black players, which made Zhang Guan laugh awkwardly, and Chen Jian continued: "When competing with black athletes, you must control your own game rhythm. Because the pace of black athletes is often faster than that of black athletes. We are a little faster, so it is easy to disrupt our normal movement rhythm, especially for a short guy like Ha Beibei, you have to be more careful."

"Why?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The height of sprinters in our country is generally about 1.75 meters. To be honest, this height is a bit short in the international arena. The taller the sprinter, the longer the legs and the greater the strides. At the same time The strength of kicking the ground will be more sufficient; but if it is too high, it will affect the coordination of the athlete's body. Therefore, it is generally believed internationally that the best height of a sprinter is between 1.85 meters and 1.90 meters. The athlete's leg length, body explosive power and coordination are all perfect, and they are most suitable for sprinting." Chen Jian said, looked at Zhang Guan, and sighed softly: "According to this standard, if you grow longer, you will be super tall. That's right. He grew so tall at the age of seventeen, what did he eat?"

"I'm only this tall, I guess I won't grow any longer." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"That's right, if you grow taller, don't practice sprinting, but practice basketball instead!" Chen Jian continued to introduce: "This Ha Beibei is not tall, the official said he is 1.65 meters, but I think his actual height is definitely not high. to 1.65 meters. This kind of small athlete lacks leg length, so he can only make up for it with the frequency of steps, so the frequency of his steps must be much faster than that of a big athlete like you. If you are He affects, trying to catch up with his pace frequency, not only will affect his own rhythm, but also easily injure someone's muscles or ligaments."

Chen Jian's voice paused, and then he said: "This time, there are 16 teams ranking, and the top eight will advance to the next round. So as long as we perform normally, we will definitely be able to advance. After you take over the baton, don't worry about other tracks. Athletes, just keep your eyes on the key point and rush forward, don't be affected by Habebe's rhythm."

Among African countries, Nigeria is considered a sports powerhouse, and it is also the country that exports the most athletes from Africa. Many Nigerian athletes have naturalized to European countries to represent them in sports events. In recent years, some economically affluent Middle Eastern countries have also begun to naturalize African athletes. Saudi Arabia and the Cartel are the representatives. These naturalized athletes have indeed made some achievements in the future. For example, the future naturalized athletes representing Qatar, Francis and Ogunod, have both broken Asian records. And the little Ha Beibei that Zhang Guan refers to also won the men's 100-meter championship in the 2006 Asian Games.

In this game, Ha Beibei, like Zhang Guan, was in charge of the fourth round, and the two were only separated by one track.

In the 4x100-meter relay race, the first runner usually chooses a player with a good starting reaction; the second runner can use the relay zone to run less distance because there are curves in the front and back, and generally chooses a player with a better strength among four players. Weak runners will run this list; the third club will basically choose athletes with relatively mature skills, many of whom are coaches of 200 meters; the fourth club will be the fastest athlete in the team, or it can be said that there are four The ace player in .

Originally, Chen Jian should have run the fourth bat, but Zhang Guan is a rookie, and he has just learned how to catch the baton.

After the athletes are ready, the competition will start immediately, only to hear the sound of gunfire, and the first athlete rushes out of the starting line immediately.

Chen Jian originally ran the fourth leg and was also the strongest player in the national team. Now he is running the first leg, which is equivalent to the first-class horse versus the middle-class horse in Tian Ji's horse race. Therefore, he has a clear advantage among the first-class athletes. So after the end of the first 100 meters, Chen Jian had already left the other players behind, and only the Saudi player Abdullah had the same speed as Chen Jian.

The second baton, Shen Bao, had a relatively strong explosive power and gained some leading advantages in the first half of taking over the baton. However, when the second half was approaching to take over the baton, he was overtaken by the Saudi player and only maintained a slight lead.

Yang Yao's third best opponent is Mubarak of Saudi Arabia. Mubarak ran a time of 10.13 seconds last year, and his strength is very strong. Fortunately, Yang Yao is the main coach of the 200 meters. When approaching the baton, still maintained a slight lead.

"Zhang Guan, run!" Following Yang Yao's shout, Zhang Guan started to run.

"Hand out."

Seeing Zhang Guan stretching out his hand, Yang Yao handed the baton to Zhang Guan and shouted: "Take the baton."

Zhang Guan grabbed the baton fiercely, quickly started to sprint, and entered the final straight.

...

"How could it be an uploaded pass!" Kobayashi Jinghe, who was watching the battle from a distance, let out a soft cry.

Although the level of Asian track and field is very weak, they are all professional athletes anyway, so naturally they don't use uploading to pass the baton. Therefore, Kobayashi Keikazu felt very surprised by the Chinese team's use of an uploaded pass in the last baton.

But Kobayashi Jinghe didn't care too much, the athlete has already entered the final straight.

In the 4 x 100-meter race, the inside runners start at the back, and the outside runners start at the front, so it is difficult for those who are not very experienced to see who is superior and who is disadvantaged in the first three legs. But in the fourth leg, after all athletes have turned the corner, there is only the last 100-meter sprint left. Therefore, after turning the corner and entering the straight, it is more obvious who is ahead and who is behind.

After entering the straight, Habebe, Saudi Arabia's fourth runner, was almost neck-to-neck with Zhang Guan, but if you look closely, you can see that Habebe is still slightly ahead.

"I have entered my best straight. When I speed up, I will immediately get rid of the big Chinese man next to me." Thinking of this, Ha Beibei immediately started to speed up.

The explosive power of the black man was displayed perfectly at this moment. Although Ha Beibei is not tall, his pace, the rhythm of stepping and the rhythm of swinging his arms are obviously faster than other athletes. Since there is a starting area and a baton area in the 4x100 meters, Habebe does not start at a standstill, but also has a longer acceleration distance. Therefore, not long after entering the straight, Habebe increased his speed to the limit.

But the next moment, Ha Beibei found that Zhang Guan, who was separated by a road, had caught up with him.

"What's going on here? I was clearly in the lead when I entered the straight. And I've already increased my speed, why can he still catch up with me!" Ha Beibei thought in amazement.

Ha Beibei didn't know that Zhang Guan had never run the 200-meter event, and he had only practiced the 4x100-meter relay for a few days. , but there is no cornering technology at all.

In the 4 by 100 meters, since the pure straight track of the standard runway is only 80 meters, and the starting area and the baton area of ​​the fourth track are in the corner position, Zhang Guan needs to run a small corner, which is exactly this short section of Zhang Guan. The corner, which he was not good at, not only ruined Chen Jian's initial slight advantage, but also allowed the Saudi Arabian team to take the lead.

Ha Beibei thinks that his advantage lies in the straight road, but he doesn't know that Zhang Guan's advantage is also in the straight road. When Zhang Guan enters the straight road, his sprinting skills are displayed perfectly, and he soon catches up with Ha Beibei, and then surpasses he.

"How is it possible, he can be so fast! I don't believe that he can be so fast all the time. It is impossible for a yellow race to have such explosive power." Ha Beibei was quickly surpassed by Zhang Guan, but he did not give up, but worked hard to catch up , He hoped that Zhang Guan would slow down in the second half.

But until the end, Zhang Guan did not slow down his pace. The Chinese team won the first place in this group without any suspense, and the final time of 39.02 seconds was considered very ideal and enough to ensure qualifying.

But it is a pity that this result did not break the national record, and Zhang Guan also failed to obtain skill points. The current national record for men's 4 x 100 meters is 38.81 seconds set by Li Xiaoping, Lin Wei, Huang Danwei and Chen Wenzhong in Gothenburg in 1995. At present, the four have already quit the ranks of professional athletes, and even the youngest Chen Wenzhong has become The coach of Bagui Province. And this achievement has been maintained until 2010 before it was broken by four people including Su Feiren and Lao Yi.

Japan.

Eriguchi Ichiro is a typical office worker. In his 40s, he is already a middle-level employee of the company. However, because he has a son who is going to school and has a mortgage on his back, he is reluctant to drive to and from work. Instead, he chooses to take the cheaper car The tram is the means of transportation for daily commuting.

At this moment, it was rare for him to get off work on time. He habitually walked to the newsstand at the station and bought a copy of "Asahi Shimbun Evening Post".

Ichiro Eriguchi walked to the waiting area, and just about to open the newspaper, he heard someone next to him say, "It's ridiculous! We Japanese can't run under 10 seconds, but this Chinese is so brazen and wants to break the Asian record! "

Eriguchi Ichiro's son is also considered a good sprinter in the school. When he heard someone talking about sprinting, he turned his head and found that the person next to him was also reading the "Asahi Shimbun Evening Post".

Driven by curiosity, Ichiro Eriguchi skipped the front page and turned directly to the sports page.

"The Chinese really imagine that they want to break the Asian record for the 100-meter race! Is it the Asian Athletics Championships? I don't seem to have paid attention to this event before, but I remember that there is a sports channel in the program preview that will broadcast the finals of the competition. Tomorrow is just a break Today, you can take a look at home." Eriguchi Ichiro thought to himself.

Not only in the "Asahi Shimbun Evening Post", but other "Yomiuri Shimbun Evening Post", "Mainichi Shimbun Evening Post", "Fuji Evening Post" and so on, also reprinted the reports of the Philippine media as a major news of the Yatian Race hotspot.

At this time, the Philippines, which is one time zone away from Japan, is about to start today's last event in the Asian Athletics Championships.

This is the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter event.
