Chapter 158 Asian Championships (6),
Manila, Philippines.
Delegations of various countries in the Asian Championships are located.
In the room, Yu Weili lay on the bed, chuckling from time to time. He was in a really good mood at this moment! It would be even better if it weren't for Kobayashi!
In this Philippine Asian Championships, due to many factors such as the Philippine current situation, the organizing committee attached great importance to the security work at the arena and delegation's residence. In order to ensure that the security work can be carried out more efficiently, there were fewer rooms for athletes and related personnel to arrange rest. Finally, the personnel of each delegation were arranged, and almost two people were in a room.
Yu Weili is no exception. The person in the same room with him was an old coach. At first, he smiled knowingly when he heard Yu Weili's laughter. How could he not laugh? If the event he was responsible for could achieve such a result, he would also laugh, and he was still very envious in his heart.
But as I listened, I couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "I said Lao Yu, Coach Yu, OK, don't be excited, it's time to go to bed, there will be a game tomorrow!"
The old coach's surname is Hong. He said that he is only a little older than Yu Weili. He is a real veteran coach of the national team. After retiring, the athlete has served in the national team and worked as an assistant coach step by step for decades. Now he is mainly responsible for throwing events. He is about the same level as Yu Weili in coaching functions. However, Yu Weili has a position as the national team management department in the center and also has a position as the deputy head coach in the team. Sometimes he has to coordinate the overall national team and has a slightly higher status.
"Haha, Lao Hong, just envy us. Also, you don't understand! Your throwing event has always been good or bad, and I can pass it. From the day I joined the team as a coach, I thought about it today, three of our national flags rose at the same time, but I thought about it for thirty years!" Yu Weili said half-jokingly and half-willedly.
The national team has always been good in throwing events. Some of the women's players now have the ability to compete for medals. Although the performance of male athletes is not as good as that of women, they often reach the finals in the world competition. In Asia, it is absolutely first-class. It is common for several people to enter the finals. Therefore, Lao Hong, who is responsible for throwing events, really cannot understand his always with ideals and dreams, but opens his eyes and can only see the loneliness of athletes.
Yu Weili's words made Lao Hongluo feel a little silent. Can't he really feel it? The degree is different. People's ideals and goals always change from time to time with the situation. Once when he first joined the team, he couldn't throw events. He thought about rushing in Asia. Later, he gradually established his position in Asia, and he thought more about the world arena. Yu Weili said it was neither good nor bad, but in his opinion, it would be better to explain it as not dead. Eliminated in the preliminary round, enter the finals, and cannot win cards. How much difference is there in the end?!
Yu Weili did not notice Lao Hong's situation, and continued with emotion: "At that time, he was just like that in China, he broke some records and won a lot of firsts, but let alone the World Championships, it was just like that in Asia. In my heart...
Later, when I became a coach, I thought, I couldn't do it anymore! But I don't believe that there are so many people in our country, so I don't believe that it will never do it. Later, the situation, let's not talk about the world field, but we were also ups and downs in the Asian field! And when we were open, we climbed on our heads with little Japan, and I felt frustrated. Especially in 1998, 100 meters, 200 meters, relay, and all the events were beaten to nothing by little Japan. Even those Thais... when I was in Bangkok, I didn't know how to return to China..."
Lao Hong listened to Yu Weili's nagging words and did not disturb him. He had experienced many ups and downs in the team for decades. Now he can still be together, and he is not close friends, but he is also close friends. He could feel the psychological ups and downs of Yu Weili. That time, not to mention Yu Weili, even he, the throwing coach, felt aggrieved. Japan's shocking 10 seconds, the Japanese's spirit deeply hurt the hearts of every Chinese track and field person.
After a while, he felt that Yu Weili had been talking to him almost. Lao Hong said, "Go early to rest. We will have a race tomorrow. I remember that you will have a 200-meter race tomorrow. By the way, it seems that Coach Kobayashi has to run 400 meters?!"
Yu Weili, who had been talking about it, felt more comfortable now. After hearing what Lao Hong said, he said casually: "Why don't you worry about this? I'll watch it today. Even if Xiao Yang didn't perform much in his physical strength, he was far behind them. Although Xiao Yin was a little worse, he also reached the semi-finals. The 200-meter event, the Kuwait Shamali 400-meter event was good, but the 200-meter event was still a little worse. Except for the Japanese Shingo who was able to compete with Xiao Yang when they exploded, the rest were a little worse. And Kobayashi saw that Shingo seemed to have some problems with Shingo. This is 200-meter event, the gold medal is very good..."
Yu Weili analyzed it with confidence, and he still believed Lin Mu's judgment. He could also see that something was wrong with Mo Xu Shenwu.
Lao Hong didn't interrupt. Although he was not a sprint event, he could watch the track and field team competitions as long as he had time. He also made a judgment like Yu Weili when the sprint 100 meters and 200 meters. When Yu Weili talked about Xiaolin, Lao Hong asked: "Lao Yu, how is Coach Xiaolin running? I haven't run for the past two years. At the preliminaries, I only focused on my own side and the later 100 meters, but I didn't see it. How is it now? 400 meters, to be honest, the sand you just mentioned should be quite strong, and there are also the naturalized black men in Xiya, what are they called, it seems..."
Yu Weili listened, sat up and began to ponder.
Lin Mu's body and skills are fine. The key is that he is not able to figure out his mind about the competition now, nor does he say he can't run a good result, but it is definitely not the best. They talked a lot that day. Kobayashi's meaning was to consider whether to continue as an athlete, and he had no certain idea of whether to participate in the competition. In Kobayashi's words, he thought that he left time to practice more people, which was more meaningful than running by himself. He could also see that Lin Mu was also a little unsure about the competition now.
But now the national team has not been successful in the 400-meter event. The only 400-meter athletes in the national team, let alone running to meet the standards to participate in the Olympics, just like this Asian Championship, it is difficult for them to even enter the finals. This makes the national team handle themselves.
The 400-meter training is harder and more tiring than the 100-meter and 200-meter training, and the influence of the results is much smaller. Therefore, the current talent selection and training are getting worse and worse from the bottom to the top. The 400-meter 200-meter 200-meter 2 often becomes a special 200-meter 200-meter athlete. This is how many 200-meter athletes in the national team come here.
Now he finally came back to Lin Mu. He didn't want to give up from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't ignore Lin Mu's thoughts. He still needs to communicate well with Mr. Feng in the future.
Yu Weili pondered and remained silent, obviously forgot Lao Hong's question. At first, Lao Hong seemed to be thinking, so he didn't urge him, but the more he looked, the more he looked, the more he was getting worse, and he asked, "I said, Lao Yu, what's wrong with Xiaolin's body? Or do you have any ideas?! I said, Lao Yu, we old people can't do it for a few years, and our track and field team will rely on these young people to support us in the future, let alone Xiaolin!
When he first joined the team, although the boss wanted to arrange for him for the first time at the meeting, I voted against him. But it was not because of youth. You are almost 30 years old when you are a coach, but I am still in my 20s. What's wrong with young people? The reason for opposing is that he is afraid that he is not yet experienced. If he suddenly comes up, he is afraid that he will not be able to stabilize himself and be eager for quick success and instant benefits, which will ruin him. Guidance Gu can't just pay attention to anyone, I believe it is definitely not bad.
Later, Mr. Feng's arrangement was good. He brought two new players. No matter whether he achieved results or not, he could exercise, and even if there was some problem, he had little influence. This sprint coach is doing well now, and it should be very good. I now look so good at these two athletes, much better than those who were soft and soft! Not to mention this result. I heard that I was going to give him a tip, but now the Asian Championships are like this, it looks stable! I agree with both hands, and I believe most of the old guys in the team agree. It should be like this. We do sports, not those who are stupid!
Is Mr. Feng’s thoughts now...? Probably not! That’s what you, Lao Yu, have. But practicing hard, hurts your body, or is it because you, Lao Yu, is afraid that someone will come up to you and feel uncomfortable..."
"Where is this?" Yu Weili heard Lao Hong say at first, and agreed, but the more he heard Lao Hong say it, the more intense he became. This reminds him that he was cautious.
"You're just a fool. You haven't changed for so many years, and it's just a waste of your temper. Otherwise, you'll be able to get a vice president long ago!" Yu Weili said angrily. After decades of friendship, he spoke straightforwardly.
"What's wrong with me? What can I do if I don't have the vice president? You have the vice president and led the sprint. Isn't it that our athletes won the gold medal in the World Championships? Isn't it that Xiaolin brought out to support you? You..." Lao Hong became fierce as he said, and finally said unhappy: "I said Lao Yu, don't be uncomfortable. If it doesn't work, let Xiaolin go to my place. I applied to the team, and if it doesn't work, I apply to the center. Although he may not know much about throwing projects, he will train core strength, explosive power and physical fitness. Technology can be learned, and the body is the key to ensuring technology. There is no problem..."
"Okay! Okay! Stop thinking about it... It's not that way!" Yu Weili had to interrupt Lao Hong again. He had known Lao Hong's character for decades. If he didn't explain it clearly to him today, he might really apply to the higher authorities tomorrow.
"That's the matter. You are also helping me with the advice. How should I deal with this matter..." Yu Weili told Lao Hong from beginning to end what Lin Mu talked with him. He also wanted to find some ideas from Lao Hong.
After hearing Yu Weili talk about the specific situation, Lao Hong's emotions were instantly retracted. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Lao Yu, how is Coach Xiaolin's 400-meter level?"
"How is it? Can I be confused if it's too bad?" Yu Weili looked a little sad unconsciously, "Last time I was sure that he was fine, I gave him a simple test. At that time, I had notes for about 45 seconds. I never thought of paying attention to his athlete's identity.
Yesterday's preliminaries were easy. In his words, he almost counted his steps and completed the whole process by observing his movements. The result was 45 seconds and 63 seconds. How good do you think you are?"
"Wow~" Lao Hong said in surprise and his voice suddenly increased a few points: "The result is very good. He didn't even have all his strength. He didn't have enough effort. This result is a chance of winning cards even in any Asian competition. Oh! This seems to meet the Olympic standards, right?"
"But the key is that people are not sure now, maybe they don't want to run away in the end..." Yu Weili looked at Lao Hong with annoyance.
"How can I do if I don't want to run away?" Lao Hong shouted again, then remembered it, and lowered his voice: "But we can't ignore Coach Kobayashi's thoughts..."
"You have to say this!" Yu Weili looked at the time. It was getting late and couldn't argue with Lao Hong. After explaining, he would not let him make trouble, "When you go to bed, I'll report to Mr. Feng and let the leader decide!"
"Don't be there..." I was just excited by what Yu Weili said. Now it's not enough to let him sleep? This matter must be broken down.
"I said Lao Yu, what are you thinking? What you just said is that I think that Kobayashi felt that after he got on the track, he would unconsciously look at himself from the perspective of a coach. It is difficult to devote himself to the role of a real athlete, right?! If he goes on the court, he runs alone and doesn't consider other things. Maybe he will have more times. He is afraid that he will lose the observation habit he developed when he is a coach in the future, and the mentality of an athlete will affect many details of his observation?
Finally, I was confused. I couldn’t run well and delayed the guidance of people. After comprehensive weighing, I felt that the guidance of leading people was more meaningful? In my opinion, he still liked running. As a result, he retired abnormally, how could he be completely out of interest in running! This is the first time he officially came out to run. He had no experience before. You should fundamentally think about a solution to the problem.
Since both aspects are good, you should think about solving the trade-offs as much as possible, or using some auxiliary to help you weigh them. How can you give up one? It seems that you are a coach and athlete who has worked for a while, and you didn’t feel anything at that time. You can feel a little bit?!
Also, the team has the helpers, one assistant coach and one physical therapy person. How can you let him go? Now he is both a father and a mother, and a child. It is said that when we practice track and field, women are men, and men are cows, but don’t really treat people as cows. This championship team is too shabby, I have wanted to say a long time ago, you let the championship team do this, how can the people in the team handle themselves, and how can Kobayashi do it."
Lao Hong's words made Yu Weili feel moved, which reminded him that he should analyze this mentality and resolve the possible conflicts as much as possible. As for the construction of the championship team, it is not that they do not pay attention to it, or that they pay too much attention to it. Kobayashi himself also attaches importance to it. Didn't the group of people who were sent off earlier? They all wanted to get rid of the complex twists and turns, try to be simpler and more efficient.
"Okay, I'm going to bed, think about it!" Lao Hong finished speaking, and no longer cared about Yu Weili. He just stood up and spoke. He had just thought about it, but he had no idea, but the direction he was talking was his real thoughts.
Yu Weili lay down and recalled his past experiences. It happened too long ago. Now he felt a little moved when he thought about it. Gradually, he sorted out his ideas.
It seems that after communication, I will try to assist and arrange it to see if Kobayashi has such an idea in the end. If it doesn’t work... I have to strive for it! This is not an Asian champion or an Olympic qualification!
...
Yu Weili was thinking about Lin Mu's affairs and thought about his good mood. Lin Mu was also thinking about his own affairs.
There will be three and four games tomorrow, the 200-meter semi-finals and finals, the 400-meter finals and the 4*100-meter preliminary round. They are all related to him or his athletes.
4*100 meters, the two athletes are in good condition now. As for cooperation and competition, he doesn't need to worry about it. He just went through it and didn't think about it anymore.
The 200m semi-finals and finals are on the same day. It should be fine if Yang Zuyao is separated in the afternoon. If he doesn't work, he can also use the achievement points to eliminate fatigue. Although he did not break the record in the 100m before, one first and the other second also allowed him to gain 300 achievements. It is fine to use these auxiliary points.
As for the complaints from many participating countries, the schedule of the 4*100m relay preliminary and the 200m final is not a big problem for him and China. Although he is speechless about the schedule, the 200m semi-finals and finals can be arranged in one day. If he encounters 400m in a part-time event, he will not be able to run that day.
Huaxia has such a combination, He Jun, but he was eliminated in 400 meters. Then no one else is a problem. It’s okay to eliminate fatigue, and it’s okay to replace substitutes to run in the preliminaries. Huaxia team won’t be able to even pass the preliminaries because of being on the bench. With Chen Jianhai and Zhao Lin’s last kick, their strength is still guaranteed.
As I thought about it, I finally thought of myself. The more I thought about it, the more I became a little confused. I didn’t notice it before, and I never considered these issues. Now, after I got on the track, he suddenly felt a little confused about how to deal with it.
He still wants to run a few games in his heart. At least he has to be on the highest stage in the world once, and now he has such an opportunity. It is not for fame or profit, it is just the expectation in his heart.
But the problem is as Lao Hong analyzed, he is unable to weigh the contradiction between coaches and athletes' identity transformation.
I thought it was a simple thing, but like the mentality he always emphasized, it is not so easy to develop a certain habit to change, or even temporarily switch.
Chapter completed!
