Chapter 12 Preliminaries

Early the next morning, before the sky was completely bright, Guo Zizhao and the others got on the bus to Rongcheng. This time, the two teams of Group A and Group B in South Sichuan City went to more than 100 people and chartered four buses. Because the railway will not be opened until the second half of next year, everyone sat the train for nearly eight hours.

When I arrived in Rongcheng, it was more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon. After completing the formalities and assigning the room, it was almost dark. Everyone was in no mood to chat, so they hastily finished dinner, washed up and went to bed. Dad also came to visit everyone, asking everyone to go to bed early, maintain good physical strength, and the sports meeting will officially start tomorrow.

Early in the morning of May 25th, everyone gathered and came to Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School. The opening ceremony, track and field and some ball games were held here. The opening ceremony and the entrance ceremony are similar, there is nothing exciting about it, and this era is not the era of individuality.

Because according to the schedule, after the opening ceremony, there was the men's 100-meter preliminaries, so Guo Zizhao did not go to the entrance ceremony, and warmed up with acne man Liu Wei on the sidelines.

The 100-meter dash and 110-meter hurdles were both run with three shots, divided into the heats, semi-finals and finals. This morning's 100m heats and afternoon's 110m hurdles heats. Tomorrow's semi-finals, the day after tomorrow's finals, the schedule is still very loose.

An hour later, the opening ceremony ended, and volunteers soon showed up and began to clean up the playing field. The men's 100m heats will start soon.

The preliminaries are divided into 6 groups, with the top two in each group and the 4 best performers entering the semifinals; The semi-finals are divided into two groups, with the top 4 teams from each group advancing to the finals. The two went to complete the check-in together, Liu Wei was ranked in the first group, and Guo Zizhao was in the fourth group.

"Athletes in Group B Men's 100m Preliminaries, get ready, the competition is about to start." When the radio sounded, Guo Zizhao patted Liu Wei on the shoulder, "Go ahead, don't be nervous, it's okay to enter the semifinals at your level." ”

"Okay, I'll go first, and you will break later." Second, the young people are so happy.

"All in place... Preparation... Bang! ”

After a gunshot, the 110m heats officially began. Sure enough, after a while, Liu Wei came back upside down.

"Brother Guo, I'm in the semifinals. 11.35 seconds, second in the group. Liu Weile said hehehe.

"Yes, there is progress." Guo Zizhao gave Liu Wei a thumbs up. This race is different from the last time in the city, and the electronic timing is used. Nowadays, most high-level competitions are electronically timed, and basically electronic timing is about 0.24 seconds slower than that of a hand meter.

"It's going to be me right away," Guo Zizhao muttered, but he didn't know what his first electric meter score was.

Guo Zizhao walked towards the arena and checked his attributes.

Evaluation: You now have reached the national first-class athlete standard with "spirit" attributes, the "speed" attribute has reached the top standard of second-level athletes, and other attributes have reached the third-level athlete standard.

……

Well, the "physical strength" is 81, and the "state value" is 80, so it seems that yesterday's day in the car still had a bit of an impact. But it's not bad, and I can guarantee that I can play at a normal level. You'll definitely have to use equipment for the finals, so you'll have to set aside 60 XP. In the semi-finals, depending on the situation, you have to prepare 20~40 points just in case. I've only saved 161 points in the past few months, and I've gone most of it at once. It seems that if you don't need to use equipment in the preliminaries, with my current strength and skills, it is a sure thing to enter the semi-finals.

"Athletes in Group 4 of the Men's 100m Heats in Group B, get ready, the competition is about to begin."

Guo Zizhao slowly moved his body and began to adjust the distance and angle of the starting gear.

"Each...... Preparation...... Syllable! ”

With a gunshot, Guo Zizhao kicked his left foot and rushed out.

Okay, good start...... Faster frequency, faster ...... Hasten......

After 30 meters, Guo Zizhao ranked first with a "speed" of 59 points, but there was not too much obvious gap between him and the second and third places. It's all over...... Guo Zizhao immediately activated the "Sprint Skill", and after a few big steps, Guo Zizhao opened up nearly two positions with everyone. Good...... The shouts and cheers all around suddenly became louder, and people always liked to watch this kind of bloody and exciting scene.

In the cheers of everyone, Guo Zizhao ran faster and faster, and when the "sprint skill" disappeared, he had opened a distance of nearly 3 meters from the second place.

There was no suspense in the final result, and Guo Zizhao quickly crossed the finish line in a cheer.

"10.91 seconds" is good, Guo Zizhao excitedly thought that he had finally passed the 10.93 seconds first-class athlete electrometer standard. And this time, I only used "skills", and "equipment" has not been used yet. It seems that the training in the last month is still effective.

"Brother Guo, congratulations, congratulations, the group is the first." At this time, the teammates all gathered around, everyone exchanged a few words together, and went to their own preparatory activities.

Dad was also busy at this time and walked over, "Yes, the preliminaries are okay, and I have passed the first-level line." Come on your stomach and I'll give you a massage. Guo Zizhao obediently followed, while enjoying his father's massage, while listening to his father's nagging, "I'll give you a massage later, you will go to the car and wait, and the bus will go back to the guest house in half an hour." Take a shower when you get back, rest for yourself, and don't go out. Save your stamina and have a preliminaries in the afternoon for the 110m hurdles. ”

"Hmm"

"Pay attention after taking a shower yourself, don't catch a cold. It's still a bit chilly on this day. ”

"Hmm"

"Take your own things, there are many people in the car, don't lose them."

"Hmm"

"Uh-huh, you know. I didn't sleep well last night, so I went back to catch up on it. I'll go see the other groups later, so I won't tell you more. ”

"Okay, old man, you can get busy."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Zizhao came to the sports field again. Guo Zizhao in the preliminaries of the 110-meter hurdles was in the second group, well, hurry up and prepare for the activities.

After a beautiful sleep, Guo Zizhao felt that he was now full of energy. Well, hurry up and see how you are. Sure enough, the "stamina value" is 85 and the "state value" is 83, which is good, and they are much better than in the morning. Let's continue to play well later...... Guo Zizhao's mood is called a joy.

Half an hour later, the preliminaries of the 110m hurdles began. The first group ended quickly, Guo Zizhao looked at it, it was average, and he suddenly felt settled. Now it's my turn to appear, and Guo Zizhao walked on the runway with confidence.

"Each...... Preparation... Bang! ”

Guo Zizhao's attention was very concentrated, and he jumped out with the gunshot. Adjust your pace while accelerating, 6, 7, 8 ......, okay, 1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3 onwards... 1, 2, 3 onwards... From 1, 2, 3......

Guo Zizhao's rhythm is very good, after all, the power of the "primary 110-meter hurdles technique" is not blown, and it is one section higher than other athletes in the same group in terms of hurdle connection and speed. Slowly, as one hurdle after another, the distance between Guo Zizhao and other athletes gradually widened. When he crossed the last hurdle, Guo Zizhao did not hesitate to activate the "Sprint Skill" again.

Taking the lead, Guo Zizhao once again crossed the finish line with a lead of more than 3 meters ahead of the second place.

"Whew...... Whew..."Guo Zizhao gasped and slowly slowed down and stopped. Waste, the time for the sprint skill isn't over yet.

Dad handed over a bottle of water, Guo Zizhao rinsed his mouth, and then took a sip. "It's not bad, first in the group, and more in the semi-finals." Dad said encouragingly.

"Well, don't worry, I'll keep it."

After a while, the results came out, and the electric meter was 15.42 seconds. It's okay, try "high-frequency running shoes" next time, Guo Zizhao thought secretly.

When discussing the results in the evening, Guo Zizhao finally knew all the results of today's preliminaries. In the 100-meter sprint, he is currently ranked first in the preliminaries of Group B with a time of 10.91 seconds. Liu Wei ranked tenth in 11.35 seconds, and if he was lucky, he could still enter the final. In the 110-meter hurdles, his time of 15.42 seconds was unexpectedly only in third place. The second place was Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School, with a time of 15.30 seconds. It's okay, I'll definitely be able to surpass it after using the "equipment item" again.

But the first place actually ran 14.81 seconds, your sister, this is too fierce. Guo Zizhao was almost stupid, this is a big cut of the standard of a youth first-class athlete who exceeds 14.93 seconds.

I'll go......

The provincial games are really not that simple, Guo Zizhao looked at the name and unit of this buddy. This guy's name is Li Xiaoyong, and he is only from the Meishan City team. Sure enough, there may be hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere.

Well, it seems that the championship of the 110-meter hurdles is a bit hanging, and Guo Zizhao secretly estimated it. If you add "high-frequency running shoes", "stamina potion", and "state potion", you can run at this level at most. If this Meishan's Li Xiaoyong still retains a hand in the preliminaries, it will be ......

Guo Zizhao lives with himself, and no one will give full play in the preliminaries, and he will definitely keep a hand. Guo Zizhao pondered for a long time, but he didn't think that he still had any chance of winning. On the contrary, my father came over to comfort him, "Baby, don't think so much, just give your best." The competition is all won and lost, and I want to open a little. Rest early and play well tomorrow in the semi-finals. It is not certain who will win and who will lose at that time! ”

Guo Zizhao nodded, my father is right, don't worry about the victory or defeat in front of you, the future game will be long.

Forget it, it hurts to think about it. Sleep, I'll meet this Li Xiaoyong again tomorrow.
