Chapter 187 During the City Games (7) (Happy May Day!)
In the buffet restaurant,
At a dining table in the corner, Coach Zhong, Coach Wu, and the two athletes under them were indeed as expected and very uncomfortable.
They could still listen to the muffled comments coming from everywhere from time to time. But they were still able to listen. But after deliberately suppressing the buzzing sound, they couldn't hear the sentence clearly, and they felt uncomfortable. The following words were nothing more than saying that their group of people were not good enough and they had a lot of ideas. They didn't cooperate well when they asked Coach Lin to come back. Now it's embarrassing!
"Old Wu, you think, Lin Mu is so powerful?" Coach Zhong's face was full of gloomy. He said a lot before yesterday's 200m preliminaries, but now he feels blushing when he thinks about it. By the end of the 200m semi-final this morning, he feels like a clown whoever looks like a clown.
And he could imagine that he had the biggest lead during the meeting, and the money-running words were the first to say. Director Zhou definitely had no good impression of him, and now he had a better opinion!
Even Director Zhou may think that if you are crowded, you can only choose second-rate people. If you choose the best ones, you might be able to make a breakthrough in 100 meters or 400 meters. Maybe you can really take the so-called relay to drive the individual game. It would be strange if you lack the possibility of grades, you can give them a good impression!
Old Wu didn't say anything to Coach Zhong, although he had been clamoring and was uncomfortable listening to the discussion. But he didn't say it later, and he never called Lin Mu's name when he talked to the athletes in private. He had never had any respect in public. He was not like Old Zhong. He was now, but in front of the athletes, he still called Lin Mu one by one, just like he was talking about a junior, and he hadn't placed the right position yet?
"Old Wu, don't hide it, think about it carefully. Two games will be together tonight, relay competition and 200m finals. It would be fine if there is no big surprise. If there is really... it is based on the importance that Luzhou and the team are attached to now..."
Coach Wu, who was a little indifferent, thought about it and became serious unconsciously. He immediately understood the problem that Coach Zhong was worried about.
There is indeed a problem. In fact, the so-called top athletes in the youth level of their subordinates did not relay with others. Now they rely on a group of second-rate players to run to the preliminary round... They are considered to be the top one, but that's because their 400-meter event is really bad. The general who is short, and more importantly, Zhu Kun is not running 400 meters yet!
Chen Hongsheng, who had a better score in the 200-meter crane, entered the semi-finals, and his results reached expectations, but there was no harm without comparison. Zhu Kun, who originally had a temporary change of 400 meters in 20 meters, was brought to this point in 10 or 20 days. He has reached the finals, and his results are even more stable and healthy. This not only makes them incompetent, but also appears to be dangerous!
"The situation is now like this, what can we do?" Coach Wu exhaled and shook his head helplessly.
"What do you mean? There is no way to do this in a single event, but what I said was not a single event, it was relay! Lao Wu, relay drives a single event, through daily competition, running-in, and then through competitions, and through results, we can motivate and drive, and finally achieve the goal of improving the level of a single event." Coach Zhong answered very clearly. He was not unaware of the advantages of the plan.
"Old Wu, it's too late to compete and run-in now, but the results can make up for at least half of them, right?"
"You mean let Xiao Shen and Xiao Chen push in?" Coach Wu understood and shook his head slowly. Lao Zhong mentioned it and pulled him together, but they had all been rejected. Now several athletes have already gone to the stadium to prepare and say what's the use of these.
"Old Wu, the situation is different now. If you want to say that, I must admit that Lin Mu is indeed great. Zhu Kun was trained like this by him. Those children have a lot of talent, but I think it is certain that they have improved. Maybe they have a chance to enter the finals. What if they enter the finals?
If we enter the finals, there is no idea of competing for cards in Luzhou City? If we mention it again, or look for Luzhou again, it will be impossible to replace a better player for the sake of the results!"
Coach Wu's heart moved and nodded thoughtfully, it was indeed reasonable.
"Old Wu, I'll tell you..."
Chen Yue and Chen Hongsheng kept eating quietly and listening to the two coaches talking about things. This was what they said, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
The two people who were quite satisfied with their results are not satisfied with their results now. Those who are better than them have appeared, and there are relay competitions to run.
They now have a little regret. If they had known that like Zhu Kun, they would have asked the coach to join Coach Lin's team, and now they would be the one who is better.
...
The most regrettable word in the world may be to know it before, to know what it was before, and maybe to know it before. But it is also the past, and it will be too late.
The four young players from Huizhou Province who were thought of by many people did not know so-called earlier, and some of them were just fortunate, excited and excited.
Zhu Kun, who was trained by Coach Lin, ran into the 200m final, and now their relay competition is coming. They have been working together for so many days, and they are honored to achieve their results. At the same time, they have also gained a lot of confidence in the relay competition.
Outside the stadium inspection area
Because of Zhu Kun's previous performance, the attention of the provincial team and the Luzhou Municipal Bureau has increased instantly since yesterday. The staff who are diligent in serving and the leaders who come to show up from time to time are concerned, concerned, encouragement, and wishes. Wang Wanpeng has never been separated from the relay team since the morning. He will communicate with several coaches of the relay team from time to time.
Fortunately, he didn't think about commanding the relay team, but he was just concerned, which made the coaches breathe a little relieved. He was not afraid of inaction but was afraid of commanding randomly. Although in terms of level, Wang Wanpeng should be higher than them, after all, he is a national coach. But in terms of the current situation of the relay team, he can't compare with them in terms of understanding, let alone some of the arrangements made by Coach Lin before.
Yanjing time, at 18:30 p.m., half an hour before the men's 4*100m relay preliminaries start.
The athletes who are about to appear in the relay team have finished their pre-match warm-up at this time and are about to enter the recording area to make the final pre-match preparations.
"You all come here, I'll say a few words!" After nodding to Wang Wanpeng and asking for instructions, Chen Guobin waved and signaled to see the few people coming over.
"Let me talk first, your goal is very simple, it is to enter the finals! So, take out all your strength during the preliminary round and let go, don't think about retaining your strength!" Chen Guobin first set a goal, which they decided after research. Although Luzhou had never mentioned it in the team, after discussing with Lao Huang and Lao Long, he decided to tell the athletes.
"We just want to retain our strength, it's not a qualifier." Hu Linshan's words were also recognized by his friends. He didn't think there was any advantage in strength, let alone now that the lineup has changed.
"Try your best, do your best! After a day in the final of the preliminary round, I'm not afraid of not being able to recover!" Chen Guobin encouraged, "Our strength is not weaker than others, this is what Coach Lin said. Especially you, Xiao Jiang, although this is your first official run and you haven't played before, it's not that you are not strong enough. Who said that you can only play four people in the relay competition!" Chen Guobin joked rarely.
"Coach, I will do my best!" Jiang Shaobin nodded seriously. Zhu Kun will participate in the 200m final in an hour and a half, and his physical strength is very stressful, so the team sent him to replace Zhu Kun to run the fourth bat this time. He was both excited and nervous. He thought he would wave to the sidelines throughout this game. Unexpectedly, because Zhu Kun entered the individual final, he got a chance to play. He didn't want to lose his links in his own links to drag everyone down.
"Okay, go and check the record. Coach Lin said that he will watch you in the stands. He will come to see you tomorrow to run the finals. Don't let Coach Lin down!"
"Yes, coach!" Speaking of Coach Lin, the morale of the few children suddenly increased a lot, and they said yes in unison.
"Xiao Chen, Lao Long, can Jiang Shaobin stand it?" Wang Wanpeng didn't interrupt the whole process. Until now, the athletes have entered the inspection and recording area, and then asked with some concern.
He knew in his heart that this arrangement was quite appropriate. The difference between the relay and the 200-meter final was too short. If Zhu Kun was forced to play, the relay preliminary round might be better, but if Zhu Kun had to continue running 200 meters, it would be greatly affected. He was also a little confused.
"Guide Wang, I called Director Lin before, and Director Lin also agreed with our arrangement. It was just that the last stick was changed. The usual training and running-in effect was not big. Jiang Shaobin was slightly worse in personal strength, but the difference in relay would not be too big. It was mainly based on the top three sticks. We were lucky this time. In the second group, only Shenzhou and us were in the same group, but the strength of Shenzhou is now incomparable to 4 years ago..."
Wang Wanpeng nodded thoughtfully, and he was indeed lucky. As a seed team, they were divided into this group, but the last champion is now a little unsuccessful in the youth level sprint. Few people entered the finals this time.
"Okay, since Coach Lin also thinks it's okay, then let's wait for them to perform."
"By the way, Lao Huang and Zhu Kun have already prepared? Haha, I have entered the finals. Thinking about it, I feel like I am in a dream. How long ago did we last entered the sprint finals? I don't remember it no matter how I feel!" Wang Wanpeng sighed a little.
"Not far away, the 400-meter silver medal for the 2001 National Games, Director Lin's 400-meter silver medal." Chen Guobin smiled. To be honest, what happened two years ago was actually the competition was actually not interrupted.
"Haha, yes, Coach Lin's silver medal, I wonder what Zhu Kun can achieve this time!?" Wang Wanpeng was a little hopeful, and there was some surprise. He was still a little surprised until now. People's hearts are always changing. When there is a surprise, he thinks of even more surprises. The team, including Luzhou, are looking forward to it now.
"Let's go, Xiao Chen, let's go over. Director Zhou has something to do today and can't come. I'm still waiting for me to report my results as soon as possible. Hope it's good news!"
The group walked to the stands, where the Luzhou delegation was located.
After the few people settled down, they couldn't help but feel more emotional. Competitive sports are really realistic. They have truly felt the courtesy of Pei Xin for a gold medal and a silver medal in the field competition.
After a few words of greetings with some colleagues from Luzhou City and other events, they each turned their attention to the field. The men's 4*100m preliminaries are about to begin, and at this time the eight teams in the first group of the preliminaries have already played.
In the men's 4*100m preliminaries, a total of 24 teams from 16 provinces and cities were divided into three groups to conduct the first round of preliminaries. The top two teams in each group were selected and the two teams with the best results were entered into the finals. Except for the previous champions, the host and the first in the selection competition were divided into three groups as seed teams, the rest of the teams were randomly selected.
Luzhou is relatively lucky and is divided into the second group. Judging from past results and participants, its overall strength is slightly worse. In addition to Chenzhou, only Jiangcheng in Beihu is the only one who can be called a strong team. At this time, the first group that played was obviously much stronger. Two traditional strong teams in eastern Guangdong, Yangcheng and Shencheng, as well as the Xiangzhou team led by Chen Huan, and the other teams are also the main teams of various provinces and cities.
The strength of the third group was not inferior. Although Zhao Lin did not participate in the relay, the strength of the host Tanzhou team, the Yucheng Yu Squadron led by He Jun, the traditional strong team of Suzhou Jinling team, and the Ice City team led by Liu Dapeng and Chen Qiuping. The Hong Kong City team trained by Yuan Guohua is also there, but it is just like Luzhou at this time, and it is not noticeable. The first and second in the final stage of the qualifiers are really not high in people's hearts.
Amid the attention and cheers of countless audiences, the first team on the field completed the final preparations before the game. The referee issued a place order.
“Preparation ~”
"Bang!"
The stadium, which had been kept quiet for a short time, suddenly returned to the noisy with the sound of a starting gun.
"Come on, come on!"
"I will win, I will win!"
“…”
"Xiaolin, Lao Yuan, your relay team is on the court today. I didn't pull you, why didn't you go over and take a look? Haha!"
In the stands, Yu Weili watched the game on the court, and was not very interested. After one bat, the second bat had already started running for half a distance. The so-called strong team showed the strength it should have, and the so-called weak team failed to create many surprises. Yangcheng, Xiangzhou and Shenzhen were expected to be in the leading position, and the process was not good. At this time, he also lost a lot of attention and joked with Lin Mu and Yuan Guohua beside him.
After observing the two bats, Lin Mu and Yuan Guohua also had a rough judgment on the teams in the game at this time. The strong teams rely on hard strength to play, while the weak teams also rely on hard strength to fight. The so-called relay cooperation means handing over the bat and taking over the bat, and the efficiency is too average.
Chapter completed!
