Almighty Athlete Chapter 4: First game
Two months later, the provincial track and field team embarked on the train to Jinmen.
The provincial capital is not far from Jinmen City. The train arrives in four hours. If the high-speed rail is built a few years later, the time will be shortened to one hour.
After the athletes have arranged accommodation, they will go to the competition venue to adapt to the venue.
Athletics is not a national strength, so domestic trials are not taken seriously, and because of this, registration restrictions are relatively broad. Normally, a representative team can only send three players to participate in the same event. In this competition, the Tian Association has relaxed the number of players in each team to four.
Dashing has always been the one with the lowest technical threshold, and in the men’s 100m project, the provincial teams have invariably sent four contestants to participate in the trials, and mainly young players, obviously training newcomers. Twenty-two provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities in addition to Treasure Island in the country, together with the Bayi team of the army system, the avant-garde team of the public security system, the locomotive team of the railway system and the communication team of the postal system, a total of 35 140 players from the representative team participated in the competition, and only 18 preliminary matches will be held.
For this reason, when the Zhang Guan came to the competition venue, the stadium was already overcrowded. Players could only take a look at the surrounding environment, and there was no chance to test run on the venue.
Many athletes of each team know each other, and after meeting, they naturally have to talk a few words, but Zhang Guan is a newcomer in this venue, and can only honestly follow behind roommate Wang kai, and Wang kai also played a role at this time. Teacher, introduce the nearby athletes to Zhang Guan.
I saw Wang kai pointing at a handsome guy in the distance and said: "The one over there is a veteran of East Guangdong, Yin Hanzhao, the runner-up of the 100-meter project in the National Games last year, and the fourth place in the National Athletics Championship last year; he Next to him is his teammate Liu Yang, the third runner-up at the National Games the previous year. In addition, there is a Chen Jian in their team. Chen Jian, you always know, now the first person in the 100-meter in China, this time in the Asian Games, sure There will be a quota for him! But why didn't I see him..."
"There is the Donghai team over there." Wang kai then pointed to another bunch of athletes and said: "That flat head is violent, and the domestic indoor 60-meter project can reach the world's leading level, and his level in 100 meters. Second only to Chen Jian. It is estimated that there will be a quota for him this time in the Asian Field."
"Did you see the one with eyes over there?" Wang kai pointed to the athletes of the Shancheng team.
Zhang Guan followed the expectations of Wang kai, and then said: "I know this person, glassesman Hu Kai!"
"You new guy still knows Hu Kai? Glasses Man? This nickname is very appropriate. But then again, he is the only athlete who wears glasses in the sprint. This Hu Kai came out in the last two years, He was originally from our province, and was recruited to Tsinghua University. He now plays on behalf of the Shancheng team. The one next to him is He Jun, who also represents the Shancheng team." Wang kai said.
Zhang Guan nodded and said yes. At this time, Hu Kai was not famous, and the nickname "Glassman" was only called by the Capitals. When he won the Asian championship two years later, the nickname "Glassman" would not be accepted. It is well known.
At this time, Wang kai pointed to another team of athletes.
"The Huangpu team is over there."
"Huangpu Team?" Zhang Guan searched carefully for a long time, and then asked, "Why didn't I see Liu Feifei?"
"He did not come this time. This Asian Athletics Championships and the Ninth World Athletics Championships are in time conflict, so Liu Feifei will not participate in the 110-meter hurdles of this Asian Athletics Championship, and will not participate in the selection competition. . Two weeks ago in Huangpu just held the selection of the Outer Track and Field Championships. Anyone who participates in the World Championships through selection will not participate." Wang kai introduced.
"Who went to the 100-meter project? Chen Jian?" Zhang Guan asked.
Wang kai smiled and shook his head: "Our country's 100-meter level is still not up to the standard of participating in the World Championships. Among the racing events, the national team's real strengths are race walking and women's long-distance events, and only sprint events. The 110-meter hurdle is eligible to participate in the World Championships!"
......
Wang kai was introduced in a circle, but Zhang Guan did not remember a few. When the sky was getting late, he returned to his place with the brigade. After using the supper to wash, I fell asleep until dawn.
After eating breakfast the next day, Zhang Guan came to the arena with the track and field team.
Due to the tight schedule of the event, the first day was mainly preliminaries. The level of the preliminaries was uneven. Naturally, there was nothing to watch, and there were not many people paying attention, even the reporters on the spot. I was too lazy to pick up the camera to take pictures, and even the writing of the pen seemed to be a pity.
The men’s 100-meter event has 140 players. The preliminaries will be played in 18 games. The top two in each game will advance to the rematch. In addition, the top four of the remaining athletes will also enter the rematch. A total of 40 players, also This means that 100 players will be eliminated in the preliminary round.
Zhang Guan was divided into the second runway of the first group to play.
In many competitions, the first group can also be regarded as a cannon fodder group, because in the first group, the corresponding timing or monitoring equipment has just been activated, it is easy to malfunction or other emergencies, in case of competition If something unexpected happens, it is natural to let some unknown cannon players take the consequences, and wait until the equipment is perfect to let the famous players play.
Another point is that since the game has just started, the atmosphere of the game has not yet been bred, and it is difficult for athletes to enter the game in the first game, so it is difficult for athletes to make satisfactory results; after a period of time, the game As the competitive atmosphere becomes stronger, the emotions of the athletes will become more intense. If you add the enthusiastic cries of the surrounding audience, it is easy to mobilize the athletes' presence and achieve better results. It is precisely this that the organizers of the competitions often rank strong players in the middle of the last games.
However, the cannon fodder group also has the advantage of the cannon fodder group, that is, the strength of the athletes is low, and the competition organizer will not allow famous players to be used as cannon fodder. These are players who usually don't have many opportunities to play.
Slightly experienced athletes certainly don’t want to play in the cannon foul group, but Chen Lao is still very satisfied with this group. In Chen Lao's view, Zhang Guan currently needs the most to adapt to the game atmosphere, so the group with weaker competition level is conducive to Zhang Guan qualifying.
"Boy, this group is so weak, you can make an effort if you work hard." Chen Lao looked at Zhang Guan who had already stood on the track in the distance and silently muttered.
It was at this moment that a man shot Chen Lao shoulder suddenly behind him.
"Old Chen!"
Old Chen turned to look around and saw a bald man standing behind him, looking at him with a smile. The man is about 60 years old, with a big nose and a big mouth, and his body is slightly blessed. It looks like a vajra from the temple.
"Less than! Do you still remember to see me as an old man!" Chen Lao said with a smile.
This bald man is the deputy head coach of the national track and field team, and he is also the head coach of the national track and field team sprint event.
The organizer of this competition is the National Association of Athletics Federations. He is the deputy head coach of the National Athletics Team and also serves in the Association of Athletics Associations.
The coach was eight years younger than Chen Lao, and he was also a sprinter. When he was young, he was mainly involved in the 200-meter project. He once broke the national 200-meter record many times~IndoMTL.com~ Both of them are fellows of Sichuan Province. In the year when Chen Laoping recorded 10 seconds in his hand, he was elected to the national team under the guidance. After he retired, he became the coach of the national team. The pinnacle, and later became the coach of the national team after retiring. The two have been in friendship for nearly 40 years, and they are also called "Old Chen" and "Less than".
Meet old friends, naturally, it is necessary to reminisce, and the other coaches also know the identity of the two, and they both flashed aside with interest, making the two happy. But soon, Yu found out that today's Chen Lao's mind is obviously not on the old side, but instead his attention has always been focused on the game field.
"Once you're done, don't watch it. Let's go to the lounge for a cup of tea. This first scene is all cannon fodder. The strength is mediocre. What good looks." Yu Gui said with a smile.
"Cannon fodder? There are good seedlings that I have worked hard to find!" Chen Lao said very seriously.
According to the guidance of the understanding of Chen Lao, Chen Lao can be so valued, indicating that the so-called "good seedlings" in his mouth are not ordinary, this time aroused curiosity in the guidance, he involuntarily asked: "Which one is it?"
"This is the second one." Chen Lao replied.
Yu Gui took a closer look at the Zhang Guan in the distance and said, "Is it a young player. Is it promising?"
"You will know if you look at it." Chen Lao said with a smile.
