Chapter 72 Preparations begin (two chapters today)
As far as he knows, in the two races before the British Indoor World Championships, Chen Huan, who fought desperately, only ran within 6.70 seconds in the second Austrian race, and finally entered the final. However, due to psychological changes in the final, he ran even worse than the preliminaries, and he was only ranked fifth.
On the contrary, Chen Bao, who was suppressed before, achieved good results and won third place.
When we arrived at the Birmingham Indoor World Championships, Chen Huan, who had high expectations before departure, finally lost the preliminary round. He failed to achieve a historical breakthrough in the short track event, which caused the national team to suffer another setback.
At the end of the entire indoor World Championships, the Chinese team won 6 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze.
It seems that the results are good, but all the medals, except for Liu Xiang's bronze medal in 60-meter hurdles, are all in the field race events. The track races are completely wiped out.
Lin Mu felt a little sad when he thought of this. There were more than 1 billion people in a great country, all the top domestic players failed in an indoor competition that did not include the top athletes. Not only did they win cards, but there were only a few who entered the finals.
Lin Mu couldn't help but shook his head. If Chen Huan was still on his list, he should still have the chance to enter the finals or even win cards. He could inject some vitality into the national team. Is it right or wrong to remove him?
The body showed that it had reached its limit, and Lin Mu stopped. Standing there, Lin Mu closed his eyes and thought about these things.
In the end, Lin Mu believed that there was nothing right or wrong. Even if he continued to keep Chen Huan, he would eventually get a card or something, which would not solve any fundamental problem. Once or twice, it was just a fig leaf. If you want to change, you had to completely change something.
You can use encyclopedia to bring a lot of changes, but this requires more say. If Chen Huan had achieved dazzling results this time without his leadership, then everything he did would be considered dispensable. How about other things?
I don’t know if Chen Huan has implemented the things he had adjusted for him. But thinking about it, Lin Mu felt that the possibility was very small. A mature coaching team was rarely influenced by other coaches.
"Xiaolin..." Old Gu's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Mr. Gu, are you here? Are you here if you have time to come to the training ground today?" Seeing Mr. Gu coming, Lin Mu retracted his thoughts and greeted him.
"You have been squatting on the training ground this month! You usually want to see you, but where can you go if you don't come here?" Mr. Gu complained a little. He was really desperate! He felt a little scared. A pair of masters and apprentices have been a bit crazy for a month. Every day, except for eating and sleeping, they basically have a training ground during the day and a gym at night.
If the team doctor and physiotherapy that were arranged to come said the situation was fine, he would have wanted to stop directly.
"Haha, if you have a bad foundation, you have to practice more. Isn't this normal? And myself, I'll hurry up and let myself recover! It's not bad now, the effect is quite good! If you work hard, it's worth it even more!!" Lin Mu explained with a smile, and then asked: "Mr. Gu, are you asking me for something? Just call me, I'll go there myself, and you'll run over here in person!"
"Don't talk about the phone number, I'm angry when I talk about the phone number. You said I've called you less these days, either in the morning or in the evening, or in the next day. Where did you get it?"
Lin Mu touched his head a little embarrassedly! Indeed, he didn't take the phone seriously, so he had already thrown his phone aside during training. In order to prevent disturbance, Lin Mu also set a silent setting.
Mr. Gu just nagged casually, and he didn't really blame him. Training is a good thing. There is no big deal in normal times, but recently it's just about identity and some formalities. It's nothing more than late. He won't bother Lin Mu either. He will solve it directly if he can solve it!
But now it is necessary to involve the next step of arrangement, so he has to ask, "If you don't want to waste your words, I'm going to ask you, how to arrange the next step! The domestic outdoor competition will be officially started! What are you thinking about?"
Lin Mu thought about it and actually he had already considered it! It was just that some things he had to explain clearly before they happened.
In the end, Lin Mu felt that he should greet Mr. Gu in advance, so Lin Mu said directly: "Old Gu, that's what I think. If you don't have enough points to participate, I will work hard to earn points. But this year, starting from next month, I will be planning to bring Zhao Lin to all the Grand Prixes in the country. It's just..."
"This is very good. It's great to train young people with competitions! What's the point of doing this?" Mr. Gu also felt normal and asked in confusion.
"Old Gu, although it's just a trivial matter in the competition. But if we get too many places here, will there be trouble? Or will the team stop directly? I am really preparing to pass the competition and use the competition instead of training, and finally strive to qualify for the World Championship before time.
Moreover, I have a heart to you, and I still want to compete for the Asian Championships. If the results are similar, I dare not bother you. Only by running a score that is completely undisputed can we win this title. It’s less than 4 months now. Therefore, I plan to participate in all competitions!"
"You kid, you are still so energetic! I didn't even dare to think about the World Championships! We haven't even gotten a B-target out yet. Haha, Xiao Zhao has these strengths now?" Mr. Gu said with a smile. He only thought Lin Mu had set a high goal, and didn't care. He didn't think there was any problem with the participation questions raised by Lin Mu.
Although there are some unwritten unwritten rules for these competitions in the national team. For some top athletes, in addition to the National Games, City Games, and National Championships, everyone is trying their best not to give up any inch of land. For competitions such as indoor competitions, grand prixes, and sub-stations, several top athletes and their organizations will tacitly score one point.
You participate in these and I participate in those, and you will be harmonious and happy all year round. This also makes sometimes an athlete with 200 meters in the main event, maybe one day or another, you can win a 100-meter championship.
But when he arrived at Zhao Lin's side, he was a newcomer after all, so Mr. Gu really didn't think there was any problem with this.
"Xiaolin, as long as you are qualified to participate, just tell me in advance and we will report it!" Mr. Gu said indifferently: "If! I mean, Xiao Zhao really won the championship on the side, and I will also give you the best. I have been swept by such a person who has only been practicing for a few months. They still have the face to say it! Humph!"
"Haha, Mr. Gu, I'm really hard to say. No one wants to have no results in a year. I can understand these rules." Lin Mu said with a smile, paused, and then said solemnly: "But for the competitions this year and next two years, I can only force myself to the last time! I also have to ask Mr. Gu to greet the Grand Prix in advance in the past two months. Even if we plan ahead!"
"Since you kid insist, I will arrange it in advance. It's okay, I'll greet you in advance to save you a real accident. Then I'll say that I don't care about the face of my colleagues." Mr. Gu also made a serious promise.
He was infected by Lin Mu's seriousness. He remembered that the last time Lin Mu was so serious, it seemed that when Chen Huan could achieve the standard results, was it really possible?
Thinking about it, Mr. Gu couldn't help but ask with concern: "Xiaolin, you said you never give athletes a test or something? What's the situation with Xiao Zhao now? Please give me a guarantee, I'm so mentally prepared. Don't be caught off guard. What level should we have to make arrangements here, right?"
After looking at Zhao Lin's attributes again, he carefully analyzed Zhao Lin's current technical movements. Lin Mu pondered and said, "Old Gu, the training arranged for Zhao Lin is generally set according to his overall physical condition.
From the beginning, when he had no foundation, I adjusted his pace and stride. According to his body shape and pace rhythm, I adjusted to 48 steps 100 meters. In the future, with the further increase of agility and strength, there may be further adjustments. But at this stage, it is a relatively reasonable number of steps. At present, it has basically taken shape. A slight rhythm discomfort will not have much impact..."
Mr. Gu nodded. Lin Mu's entire training plan was still very clear, just like what he said before. Through the changes in strength and agility, a certain amount of strides are increased. The maximum stride range is coordinated with the stride frequency. The idea is good, but it is really difficult to control.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Chen Huan. Lin Mu had also made some plans before, but it eventually died. Although he was practicing according to the traditional Lingfa route, the effect was still OK. But he no longer had the previous stunning feeling.
Lin Mu didn't know what Mr. Gu was thinking, but he was just continuing to introduce Zhao Lin's situation: "Old Gu, in terms of technical movements, I dare say that Zhao Lin is not worse than the top ones in China now! In addition to starting reaction, it may be slightly worse. But it should also be very bad. Usually I think it can be within 0.2-0.3, and it won't be too much if it exceeds. 60 meters may not be good, but the impact of 100 meters is much smaller.
Moreover, Mr. Gu, now I have focused on attacking and strengthening in some of his relatively weak areas. Next, I wait for my body's sensitivity and coordination to keep up with the rhythm. I am ready to officially start taking him to 200 meters. On 200 meters, his weak areas will be further narrowed, his advantage will become greater, and his speed is also pretty good!"
"Haha!" Mr. Gu became more and more interesting as he heard it, and he teased: "Is it true that if you recover in the future, you will take another 400 meters and take all the leading position in the national sprint event?!"
"Haha!" Lin Mu also smiled, but he planned to do this. When he recovered, he would immediately exchange for 400 project skills. He believed that after his attributes followed, he would immediately be the top in the country. Moreover, he would run if he had the chance of 100 and 200. Multiple people earned points and grade points, and they would also make reserves for future breakthroughs in talent limits.
"Okay, after hearing what you said, even I feel a little hope!" Mr. Gu patted Lin Mu on the shoulder and continued: "I don't mix with the training stuff and can't keep up with your pace. So, I'll do other aspects. I can't stay in the team for long, and now I'm less and less energy."
Speaking of this, Mr. Gu solemnly said: "Xiaolin, while I haven't completely retreated home, I will take the last journey for you. When I completely retreated, I hope you have enough qualifications to block the wind and rain by yourself!"
