Almighty Athlete Chapter 90: It’s great to be a coach for Zhang Guan!
The next day Zhang Guan did not wake up too early, but woke up naturally after sleeping. After lunch, Zhang Guan did not rush to the game. The 1500m competition will not be held until night, so Zhang Guan hurried to the competition site after dinner to participate in the 1500m final.
In the 1500-meter race, the strength against shǒu is relatively ordinary. There is only one person who is really strong. That is the national record holder Dou Zhaobo who ran the men's 1500 meters.
Zhang Guan and Dou Zhaobo are still relatively familiar. Dou Zhaobo is a teammate of Zhang Guan in the provincial team. He once set a national record of 3 minutes, 36 seconds and 49 seconds in 2003. As an East Asian athlete, it is definitely a remarkable achievement to be able to reach the Olympic A standard of 1500 meters. In the Asian competition, Dou Zhaobo has also won medals many times.
Dou Zhaobo had a major operation before the Athens Olympics, and then took part in the Athens Olympics with injuries. He did not play the best level in the competition and stopped the preliminary round. Because of that injury, Dou Zhaobo did not return to the peak state throughout 2005, but even so, he still won the 1500m championship of the 10th National Games.
......
On the track, the 1500m final is about to start.
There is a micro xiào on the face of Coach Zhou. Of the twelve contestants, Zhang Guan and Dou Zhaobo are their own players. Among them, Dou Zhaobo is the national record holder and can be regarded as the strongest player among the players. Moreover, Dou Zhaobo's recent state is very good, and the possibility of winning gold is very high.
As for Zhang Guan, Coach Zhou shook his head silently. He still has no idea of the strength of Zhang Guan in the middle run.
"In terms of physical conditions, Zhang Guan is definitely more powerful than black players. This has no need to prove. And he also broke the 800-meter national record yesterday. Even on the 1500-meter project, even the strength is slightly worse. It is estimated that I can win a medal!" Coach Zhou could not help raising his eyebrows when thinking of this. A total of thirty or forty teams participated in this level of events, such as the National Athletics Championships, and one team could get one item Two medals, but it is a remarkable thing.
Dou Zhaobo standing on the starting line has a slightly dignified expression. With his strength, it is easy to win a championship in the domestic competition, but today he is keenly aware that it is very difficult to win the championship . He met a powerful pair, that is Zhang Guan.
"Unexpectedly, when running in the middle distance, the Zhang Guan is so powerful, yesterday it broke the 800-meter national record! This time is so fast! Three years ago, this kid just entered the provincial team, I am still a newcomer who does not understand anything. I didn’t expect that in just three years, this kid has become the king of the world sprint. Now he is heading towards the middle distance running project!" Dou Zhaobo thought of it here. Instead, he laughed.
"That's fine, if I put it in peacetime, I really don't have a chance to compete with the world champion." Dou Zhaobo thought silently, at this moment. A person patted Dou Zhaobo's shoulder from behind, and Dou Zhaobo looked back and found that it was Zhang Guan.
"Brother Dou, I will run behind you in a moment!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"Follow me and run behind. Isn't it better to overtake me at last? But I can't run slowly. If you want to take the gold medal from me, you have to show some real power!" Dou Zhaobo Smiled and replied. The two people have known each other for more than three years, and the age gap is only three years old. Even if they compete in the same field today, there is not much barrier between them.
However, this intimate conversation between the two fell in the eyes of other athletes and coaches, but was discussing game tactics.
The use of tactics is very important in the middle and long-distance running of track and field. If there is only one athlete participating in the same team, the master dòng may use almost no tactical running method; The main dòng uses some tactical running methods; if there are three players in the same team, the tactical selection will be more diverse; and if the strength of the three athletes participating in the competition is very good, you can even arrange some medal-winning games Tactics. So it seems that in the long-distance race, three Kenyan or Ethiopian players often take the gold, silver and bronze medals.
After a few minutes, the athlete is ready and the game begins.
After the start, the outside athletes began to squeeze desperately towards the innermost track to seize a relatively good position. Like this kind of competition in which twelve athletes participate, the fourth and fifth places are in a better position. This ranking will not be too far away from the front runner. The rhythm of the front runner can be observed more clearly. You can make adjustments relatively quickly; at the same time, because there are more players running behind, you will not be psychologically nervous because of backwardness.
After the athletes entered the innermost track, the rankings began to stabilize. At this time, the race was only 100 meters, and everyone’s physical strength was relatively abundant, so they were all in the same group.
The speed of the leading player can only be said to be quite satisfactory, not too fast or too slow. For professional 1500m runners, this mid-range speed is the easiest to adapt to, so the next 100 meters Among them, everyone ran very easily.
After the race entered the 200 meters, the athletes entered the straight, and at this time, Dou Zhaobo suddenly flashed out of the crowd, slowly overtaking to the first position.
"Do you want to lead Dou Zhaobo? This is ready to take a fast pace!" Other athletes judged.
In the competition, some athletes with strong examples will choose zé to lead in the early to mid-term if they feel slower. The leader is most worried about being attacked by the athletes behind. In the early and middle stages, when the lead time is still too early, even if the leader loses little impact on the final sprint position, there is no need to worry about the surprise attack by the athletes behind.
However, Dou Zhaobo did not lead as everyone expected. His speed far exceeded the speed required by the leader. He saw that he had separated from the big army and slowly pulled away from other players.
"Dou Zhaobo ran so fast from the beginning. This is not normal. With his strength, there is no need to run this way at all. This must be a tactical arrangement! This is to consume our physical strength. It is a trap. Keep up." The players remembered the conversation between Zhang Guan and Dou Zhaobo before the game. I think this is a specially arranged tactic to consume the physical strength of other athletes.
In the middle- and long-distance race, an athlete exerts strength in the early stage to lure other athletes to catch up, but hòu consumes the physical strength of shǒu. This is a very common tactic. Some young players who lack experience in competition are also easily fooled , As a result, physical exertion is excessive and subsequent weakness in the second half.
None of the other contestants catch up, everyone thinks this is a tactical lure. So still running at the normal rhythm. But what everyone didn't think of was that the team that Zhang Guan had also detached from, and then hòu caught up.
The idea of Zhang Guan is very simple. Since it is a follow-up run, choose the fastest follower of zé, and the final result will definitely be better.
But other players don't think so. The performance of Zhang Guan makes other players very confused.
"Huh? What’s going on? Isn’t Dou Zhaobo tactically tempting? Why did Zhang Guan of the same team also catch up? Dou Zhaobo set a trap, but his teammate Zhang Guan was fooled? There can be no tactical arrangements for the teammates of the special pits. This must still be a trap. This is to perform a full set of acting!"
The players behind have made "reasonable" judgments, but hòu thinks that he is very clever and maintains the original rhythm, and continues to maintain a team formation, following behind.
......
Dou Zhaobo's condition is very good today. The holder of the 1500m national record has not returned to the state of victory after the major surgery in 2003, so he also needs to prove himself on the field.
Following has the same running method as leading, and leading also has the leading method. For Dou Zhaobo, the national record holder of 1500 meters, he has a lot of experience leading the way to the finish line. For him, leading is not a problem.
And for Zhang Guan. Follow-up is also not a problem. Zhang Guan, with master-level follow-up skills, is perhaps the best person in the world to follow.
Zhang Guan followed closely, but did not initiate a transcendence. Dou Zhaobo could feel that the rhythm of Zhang Guan was exactly the same as himself.
"Learning my rhythm is quite similar! The front is straight, just change the rhythm." Dou Zhaobo thought to do it, he changed his rhythm after entering the straight track.
"Zhang Guan is still a newcomer in the 1500-meter running event. Now that I changed the rhythm of biàn, he should adjust it for a long time!" Dou Zhaobo secretly turned his head to observe Zhang Guan while thinking.
However, Dou Zhaobo was surprised that the rhythm of Zhang Guan is still exactly the same as his.
"Huh? Zhang Guan keeps up with my rhythm so quickly?" Dou Zhaobo quickly thought about the countermeasure in his mind.
"Zhang Guan is the fastest person in the world. In absolute speed, I am definitely not his opponent. I am a little slower in the next corner, let him lead the race."
I saw that Dou Zhaobo slowed down a little when he was about to enter the curve, and after entering the curve, the speed became slower and slower.
The Zhang Guan behind Dou Zhaobo also slowed down, and the speed became slower and slower.
"Zhang Guan is also slow? How does the rhythm adjust to the same as mine?" Dou Zhaobo froze for a moment, then thought: "I'm fast, he's fast, I'm slow, he's slow, now I can see it, Zhang Guan Today I was running towards it! Since that is the case, I will let go!"
Dou Zhaobo thought of this and adjusted it again, adjusting the movement rhythm to the feeling he is most familiar with, and reducing the consumption of physical strength as much as possible.
700m, 800m, 900m, 1000m... Dou Zhaobo entered the straight from the bend, and then entered the bend from the straight. Finally, he crossed the finish line and heard the alarm bell.
"The last lap!" Dou Zhaobo knew that the moment to decide the outcome was about to come.
......
When Dou Zhaobo entered the last lap, Coach Zhou subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the number displayed on the stopwatch in his hand.
"Dou Zhaobo's condition seems to be quite good today, which is quite fast. If you go on like this, you should be able to run within 3 minutes and 39 seconds. Just don't know that in the end, his physical strength can't hold up." Coach Zhou thought silently.
The 1500-meter Olympic B-mark score was 3 minutes and 39 seconds. For domestic athletes, being able to run into the Olympic B-mark is definitely worth celebrating for the team.
After 1300 meters, Dou Zhaobo showed his strength as a national record holder. Even after entering the last lap, his speed has not slowed down, and his rhythm is getting better and better. The other contestants, Jian Jiàn, couldn't keep up with Dou Zhaobo's speed. The weakest player had already dropped out of the big army.
Only Zhang Guan, closely following Dou Zhaobo, ran across the last corner and entered the straight.
"It's time to sprint right away, as expected, I didn't lose Zhang Guan in the whole game! This kid is really a genius!" Dou Zhaobo thought about the performance of Zhang Guan in the 1500m preliminaries the day before yesterday, I thought: "According to the rhythm of Zhang Guan, he should start to surpass me at this time!"
This idea just emerged from Dou Zhaobo, Zhang Guan has already left the innermost runway, then hòu launched the final sprint.
The acceleration of the sprint at 1500 meters is very rhythmic. It is not necessary to reach extremely high speed during the sprint, but it must be kept as fast as possible. Sustained speed is more important than short-term high speed. So in the final sprint, the athletes surpassed each other much slower than sprinting. The sprint surpassing is almost completed in a blink of an eye, while the mid- and long-distance surpassing requires speeding up, catching up, holding each other, and surpassing, but hòu also has to stabilize its position so as not to be overtaken. From an ornamental point of view, the surpassing process of middle and long distance running is not as violent as sprinting, but the degree of stimulation is not inferior to sprinting.
After Zhang Guan started accelerating, it quickly approached Dou Zhaobo, and at this time Dou Zhaobo also began to accelerate. However, Dou Zhaobo was obviously inferior to Zhang Guan in speed, and he was finally caught up by Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan is catching up! It's much earlier than I expected." Dou Zhaobo quickly looked at the speed of Zhang Guan and was shocked.
"I can't keep up with this speed! I have already ran 1,400 meters, how can he still support his physical strength at this time! This is the same as the previous day's preliminaries." At this moment , Dou Zhaobo made this judgment in his mind.
Dou Zhaobo remembered the performance of Zhang Guan during the preliminaries. At that time, Zhang Guan was always running, and it seemed that there was nothing surprising. It did not show an amazing speed until the final sprint.
Next, in the last few tens of meters, Zhang Guan surpassed Dou Zhaobo, slowly opened the distance between Dou Zhaobo, accompanied by the cheers of the audience, and crossed the finish line.
Dou Zhaobo crossed the finish line for the second time, and he felt an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart, so he involuntarily turned his attention to the large timer on the sidelines~IndoMTL.com~ miàn showed The first athlete to cross the finish line is Zhang Guan. Then Dou Zhaobo's face changed dramatically.
The final score of Zhang Guan is displayed on the timer: 3 minutes 35 seconds 85.
Zhang Guan successfully ran within 3 minutes and 36 seconds!
The Olympic A mark for 1500 meters is 3 minutes 36 seconds 60.
But the result of Zhang Guan not only reached the level of the Olympic A target, but also a new national record!
"It's not over yet, why is there another national record?" Coach Zhou could not help but glanced at the rostrum and instantly found Yu Gui's shiny bald head. At this moment, Coach Zhou finally realized Yu Gui's sense of achievement .
"It's great to be able to coach Zhang Guan!" Coach Zhou thought silently. (To be continued.)
