Chapter 239 Call me Coach Shen
"Xiao Zhu, who runs well in the 400m, is a champion and athletic! Although he has not met the A-grade standard, he will definitely have better results in practicing hard in the future. It is not difficult to enter the Olympics, and he may be able to take over the coach's class!"
On the second day of the selection competition, on the evening, next to the Chang'an Stadium inspection and recording area, Yang Zuyao looked at Zhu Kun, who was doing warm-up exercises silently, and walked up with a smile.
"Brother Yang~" Zhu Kun slowly made a warm-up move and said hello softly, "I don't think of this, Coach Chen said, 400 meters is the future plan, I can't run out now, I am mentally prepared myself, as for the champion..."
After raising his legs high a few times on the spot, swaying his arms and stretching his body, Zhu Kun stopped.
Speaking of the championship, Zhu Kun shook his head. He felt that it was not as touching as he was when he won the City Games Championship. It was both lightweight and meaningless.
"Is that too tired? It's really tiring for 400 meters. It's only been more than two hours. It's really not reasonable to say that the arrangement this time..."
Yang Zuyao did not mention the championship again, even if it was a nominal national champion, there was nothing to be exciting for these athletes who came here to strive for the Olympics.
As long as you are an athlete who enters the national team, it is not difficult to win one or two sub-stop championships in your career. However, there are not so many opportunities to participate in such a selection competition and impact the Olympics.
"It's okay, it's not too tired. Master Bai pressed me for a while before, and I feel it's okay now!" After a few breaths, Zhu Kun hesitated and said slowly: "Actually... I'm thinking about whether I can run out after 200 meters! You know, I'm mainly 200 meters now."
"I don't want to think about this before the game!" When she walked to Zhu Kun, Yang Zuyao reached out and rubbed Zhu Kun's head. Not to mention, Shen Bao's move was really touching.
He withdrew his hand with an unfulfilled desire. Yang Zuyao asked with a smile: "I want to run into the 200 meters to meet the standards to the Olympics?"
Yang Zuyao's actions and Yang Zuyao's words made Zhu Kun feel embarrassed, but he nodded with certainty: "Yes!"
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Who doesn't want to participate in the Olympics? Look at Brother Bao, even if... he doesn't want to go to the Olympics, representing the country, and also representing the dreams of our athletes! You are already very good now. If you are less than 19 years old, you will have the chance to compete for the Olympic qualification..."
So young! Speaking of this, Yang Zuyao felt a little moved.
When he was 18 years old, he was still working hard at the youth level. He was still striving to join the national team, and his grades were even more striving to achieve a breakthrough of 21 seconds. As for Zhu Kun, he had been able to run within 20 seconds or 7 earlier. If this grade was a few years earlier, it would be a stable Olympic standard.
I seem to be only 23 years old and still young, so why do I learn the same as a coach? Zhao Lin learned the coach's movement habits, and I learned the personality? I have been getting more and more infected after spending a long time with the coach.
Thinking of Zhao Lin's "thinking" after the end of the 100-meter yesterday and the scene where several people were watching next to him, Yang Zuyao couldn't help but feel a little fun.
"Uh, Brother Yang..." Looking at Yang Zuyao's appearance that seemed to be both emotional and thoughtful, Zhu Kun called out softly before continuing: "Do you think Brother Jun and Brother Bao have the chance to run to the 200-meter A-mark? Brother Bao entered the 100-meter A-mark yesterday. He is running so fast now!"
"Well, Brother Bao is in good condition now. But he has also practiced hard. Brother Bao is definitely not at this level last year. After Coach Liu came to our coach, he said that Brother Bao has practiced physical fitness and speed and endurance. Brother Bao has also put in a lot of effort. Unfortunately..." At this point, Yang Zuyao stopped and shook his head secretly.
He had asked the coach about Chen Bao's questions. The coach said that Coach Liu had communicated with him and Chen Bao wanted to make some possible breakthroughs. If Chen Bao's pace slightly adjusted and changed his footwork slightly during the journey after the speed, the results might be better.
Yang Zuyao never doubted whether it would work, and Chen Huan is a good example. Of course, time cannot be determined, it depends on both understanding and persistence.
Perhaps because of this, Chen Bao did not choose in the end, but only strengthened local strength and increased fast-end training. As a result, I have seen that the grades have indeed improved, but it is difficult to make a big breakthrough.
The pace frequency and stride length determine. No matter how good the speed is in the second half, it cannot withstand those weaknesses. Not to mention those foreigners, even the people in the team are far inferior to the peak speed. Either because they feel that they are old and have no ambition, or because they have already gained honors, their future prospects are already there, and it is no more meaningful to be in the Olympics. Anyway, they can only listen to one or two shots at most.
In short, now that he is pursuing this Olympic qualification, he wants to come to Chen Bao to satisfy his former dream. However, Yang Zuyao is not optimistic.
It can be said that the current insurance policy is in its best condition in recent years. Perhaps if he had been in the last Olympic Games in the early years, he would have been able to qualify for 100 meters and 200 meters. He would have a great chance of going to the Olympic Games in the end, but the current situation...
100 meters, 21 seconds, enough for the 100-meter mark, but whether it is the grade or the ranking of the selection competition, the one who can be selected as a representative may be very low. 200 meters, it is okay to run a B mark, but the B mark is meaningless. As for the a mark, 20 seconds, 59...
Yang Zuyao shook his head. It would be a pity that he would not be for Chen Bao. As the coach said, everyone has their own choices and can disagree, but he will respect them. In the final analysis, it can only be said that Chen Bao no longer has the transcendent heart, and his athlete's career may have been counted down by him, which is not based on results.
"Don't worry about Brother Jun, Brother Bao, even if they run out, you will still have the opportunity. First of all, you have to have it first! Work harder and run well. I feel that you have made great progress recently!" After patting Zhu Kun's arm, Yang Zuyao encouraged him.
"It's far worse than Brother Yang..."
"Haha, I'm almost 5 years older than you, and I've been following the coach for a longer time than you. If you want to surpass me now, you have to work harder! You won't fail to take over the coach's class, you want to take over me!?" Yang Zuyao smiled and joked, "Go and move on again, open your body completely, and you'll go to the inspection later!"
Yang Zuyao waved his hand. He had already warmed up before and saw Zhu Kun's silent mood seemingly wrong. He came over and said a few words. Now he felt that Zhu Kun seemed to be okay, so he felt relieved.
Zhu Kun is the youngest in the team now, and he is indeed too few to participate in such formal competitions, and his grades are rising fast, but sometimes in this case, if you suddenly win, suddenly lose, and don’t run well, you will easily have some mentality problems, and the possible consequences will be like those young athletes in the past.
As a senior brother and senior, he felt that he had the responsibility to take care of him more.
"Oh~" Zhu Kun moved his body and was about to warm up his lower body again. But as soon as he took a step, he suddenly stopped and turned to Yang Zuyao and said, "Brother Yang, I want to go to the Olympics with you!"
Zhu Kun said something affirmatively and said even more firmly.
"Then run well. No matter who your opponent is, you have to run out and come on your own, go!" Yang Zuyao smiled and waved his hand.
"Xiao Zhu!" Zhu Kun, who had just walked out for two steps, heard Brother Yang speak again, and he quickly turned around, and he was a little surprised.
"No matter this time or next time, it will be a matter of time before you enter the Olympics. If you run well, don't be proud, don't be discouraged if you don't run well. In addition..." Yang Zuyao thought for a while, his face became a little more serious, "No matter now or in the future, no matter how many honors you have. Think about the coach, think about your Brother Zhao, think about me... As long as you are still an athlete for a day, your mind to break through and surpass cannot be dispersed, do you understand?"
"Brother Yang, I understand!" Zhu Kun nodded solemnly. He could understand, but he didn't understand why Brother Yang suddenly mentioned this?
How could I be proud of my achievements? As I just said, I am still far from it. That is the heart of breakthrough and transcendence?
"What did you say to your junior brother? He looks full of thoughts? Could it be that he was scolding him for not running for 400 meters, right?"
Just after getting warmed up, while moving his body, Shen Bao walked to Yang Zuyao and looked at Zhu Kun who seemed to be thinking about warming up. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you finished warming up? Exercise more and warm up more. You are taller, have a high center of gravity, and are under stress when running corners. You should pay more attention to the knees and ankles joints."
"It's almost done!" Yang Zuyao nodded with a smile, without mentioning Zhu Kun, and then asked, "Brother Bao, how about it? Are you confident of running a mark for 200 meters? The mark for b cannot be achieved!"
"Haha! Don't make fun of me, Old Shen. I've never expected it to be in the A-mark 100 meters before, 200 meters..." Shen Yunbao smiled and shook his head, but his expression was somewhat disappointed.
I was happy to run the Olympic A-level 100 meters last night. No matter what, it is a kind of affirmation of his recent training. But that's it. If I ran into the A-level 1 in my early years, I would definitely participate in the Olympics. Even if it was the B-level 1, it would not be impossible to find connections and favors to squeeze the Olympics. Anyway, I will run with me.
But now is different from the past. The goal of entering the Olympics is no longer just showing off your style. He really wants to make some achievements. And he knows that his current achievements are not competitive.
Today's 200 meters is not a strong point, so you have to fight for the B mark, let alone the A mark. You have been mentally prepared!
It is fake to say that you are not disappointed. After practicing sprinting for more than ten years, I hope to be on the Olympics one day from the first day of my practice. But after so many years, I still haven't realized my dream. This time, it's the last fight, but I think I have little hope.
Maybe there is still a chance to relay, but it is not a single event after all, and even if you can go, it is difficult to have a chance to play on the court.
"Brother Bao, you actually..." Yang Zuyao hesitated, and he didn't say it until he spoke.
"Haha, although I haven't compared it yet, I have a good idea. I'll use you to comfort me?" Shen Bao still smiled and took back the little loss just now: "It's impossible, no regrets. Which athlete doesn't have this dream. But it's not that blames the heavens, nor does it blame me. Who said that I have this personality?
Speaking of which, it was because of the great surprise last year, which shocked the energy I was holding in my heart. Haha, I’m a little rich and at ease! But I am actually very lucky. Maybe my old Shen’s luck can only be here!”
"Did you see the one over there?" As he said that, Chen Bao nodded in the direction of the other side, "Do you still know someone from the same year as you?"
"Xu Zhizhou..." Yang Zuyao nodded. Of course he remembered. He was once regarded as the person who chased the target.
Three years ago, when he first met, he lost a lot, so he made up his mind to compete again in the future. When he met again the next year, he did not have the chance to fight with the opponent. He was eliminated in the preliminary round, but the opponent ran a result that he could not reach. Although the super wind speed was not recorded, Yang Zuyao knew in his heart that he could not run out. It was just now...
"That was the National Games 400 meters and the National Games won you 200 meters. Three gold medals were in the National Games, 20 years old, and it was a glorious!" Chen Bao said, sighing: "But now, Director Lin was the coach and ran to the Asian Championships, breaking his national record, and he was about to participate in the Olympics. You have raised the national record to 20 seconds. Even if you run casually now, they can only see their backs..."
Chen Bao really sighed because of talent? Maybe there is, but as Director Lin said, it may still be that heart. He felt that he lacked that heart. It was just because he didn’t have any dazzling results before that, and when he got the results, he would just disperse.
"I am much luckier than them, so I have to thank Guidance Lin, otherwise..." Chen Bao shook his head slowly. He felt that he was a little emotional today. Maybe he had let go of all his thoughts and thought too much unconsciously.
"Old Yang, no matter whether I have gone to the Olympics or not, I plan to end this Olympics..." As if I had made some determination for myself, Chen Bao said affirmatively: "I plan to retire!"
"What?!" Yang Zuyao exclaimed, "I said, Brother Bao, you have just passed 28, and you are in good condition and in good health, how could you think of retirement?!"
"Don't be surprised. Isn't it normal to retire? I feel incredible that I can run to the age of 28. I thought I was going home soon after that serious injury four years ago. I thought I was going home soon. I have been shaking for 4 years now and have won so many honors. What's wrong with it?"
"But……"
"Don't, except for Coach Liu, you are the first to know. Don't shout at me. Maybe I don't want to retire again by then and let others laugh at me!"
"Brother Bao, you really think clearly. It will be fine if you run for a few more years. If you practice again, it will be impossible even for the next Olympics. Then it is Yanjing, right in front of our doorstep!"
"Don't mess with me anymore. I know my own business. I don't have the heart to fight desperately on the track!" Chen Bao said with a smile and sighed leisurely, "Guide Lin said that athletes need to understand their true nature. I understand now!"
"This..." Yang Zuyao said quietly and didn't know how to speak. He didn't expect Chen Bao to be so straightforward, and he felt that his determination seemed to be very firm.
"Don't think about my business, I just want to find someone to talk about it and share my thoughts. The competition is coming soon. I'm not saying that my thoughts will be distracted. If I can't run later, don't blame me." Chen Bao returned to his usual appearance and smiled and joked.
"Then, Brother Bao is going back to his hometown Sports Bureau? Did your Sports Bureau arrange it for you last time?"
"I won't go back, I'll think about it!" Chen Bao shook his head and smiled narrowly, "Xiao Yang, do you know if you want to call me Coach Chen in the future? Don't call Brother Bao, respect the coach..."
"It's time to go, it's almost time to check and record!" After patting Yang Zuyao, Chen Bao walked towards He Jun and Zhu Kun with a smile. He is the big brother in the team, and he must care about the little brothers in the team.
Yang Zuyao looked at Chen Bao speechlessly. His emotions changed too quickly, which made him unable to adapt.
It seems that Chen Bao wants to stay in the team as a coach. Judging from the situation, he should have a chance, so that's good!
Chapter completed!
