Volume 3 The King of Athletics Chapter 79 The "Miracle Technique" of Middle-distance Running

Zhang Guan casually flipped through the financial statements since the establishment of the "Champion Fund", Zhang Guan actually didn't know much about this financial accounting, but Zhang Guan recognized the numbers on the statement, the main project of the Champion Fund is the "Free Lunch" plan, which has only been implemented for a few months, and the cost of the "Free Lunch" plan has exceeded 3 million, which is a lot more than Zhang Guan originally expected.

"This is just the beginning, and the real rollout in the future will require tens of millions of dollars a year! But the money is well spent, and it's worth it! Zhang Guan put down the report in his hand.

"Public welfare is always a bottomless pit, even if the money is used where it should be used, it is still not enough. For example, this free lunch plan, which has only set up dozens of schools, has spent so much money, there are so many poor primary and secondary school students in the country, and my strength alone is still too thin, and it seems that I have to find an opportunity to engage in a huge public opinion offensive to attract more people's attention. After two days of the National Athletics Championships, I will have to go to those schools myself. Zhang Guan thought as he posted the content of the "Free Lunch" plan that could be published on his blog.

Blogs are now very popular, especially celebrities like Zhang Guan, blogs have a very high degree of attention, and several major online media have spent a lot of money in order to invite Zhang Guan to settle in their blogs. Zhang Guan also likes to update his blog, often posting some photos of foreign races, such as the IAAF Super Grand Prix Lausanne two days ago, Zhang Guan released several exclusive photos of Liu Feiren breaking the world record, these live records are very attractive. It is precisely because of this kind of real-time recorded pictures and texts on the spot that Zhang Guan's blog can be said to be the blog with the most attention and fans in China.

At this moment, the ringtone of Zhang Guan's mobile phone rang.

"It's Director Ma! It is estimated that it is a matter of registration for the National Athletics Championships. Zhang Guan thought as he picked up the phone.

Director Ma's voice sounded from the other end of the earpiece: "Zhang Guan! What are you going to do? It's just a sign up for the long jump, what's going on with the 800 meters? Although the 400 meters and 800 meters are interconnected, the 800 meters are the middle run after all! If you report 800 meters, I can barely bear it. But how can there be a 1500 meters? Did you kid take the wrong medicine? ”

"I just don't think it's interesting to go sprinting in domestic competitions. Over the years, we have also had a lot of excellent sprinters in China, such as the 100-meter sprint Hu Kai is very good, and recently a newcomer named Zhang Peimeng has come out, and he is also very potential, I won't go to join in the excitement if I have nothing to do, track and field championships, it's not easy to be able to rank there, leave the opportunity to others......" Zhang Guan casually broke blindly.

"Tell the truth!" Director Ma interrupted Zhang Guan's words and said sharply.

"Hehe......" Zhang Guan smiled awkwardly. I had to tell the truth: "This National Track and Field Championships is also the Asian Games track and field trials, I wonder if if I have a chance to run the 800 meters in the Asian Games if I win the 800 meters." ”

"I know you kid has other ideas!" Director Ma simply continued: "You don't have a chance. ”

"Don't, Director Ma, haven't we run yet? Give it a chance! Let me finish the National Athletics Championships and then make a decision! Zhang Guan said.

"Run, no one won't let you run!" Director Ma smiled, and then continued: "It's just that this Doha Asian Games is in the men's event. Our national team has no intention of participating in the 800m and 1500m at all! ”

"What? We don't compete in the 800m and 1500m? Why? Zhang Guan asked in surprise.

"The strength is not enough, so I went to look for abuse!" Director Ma said directly.

Zhang Guan frowned: "If we can't go to the Olympics, we will admit it, why don't we go to the Asian Games?" ”

"Asian Games? Don't underestimate the middle running of the Asian Games, not much lower than the Olympic level! Director Ma then explained, "Do you know where the highest level of running in the world is? It's West Asia. Athletes from those countries in West Asia are themselves good at middle running. In recent years, many athletes from Kenya in Africa, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain have been naturalized, and the level of middle running in these countries is world-class, and the level of middle running in Iran, Oman, and Kuwait is also good. Even Iraq has a strong overall runner. In comparison, our East Asian mid-runner strength is the lowest in the world, and neither we nor Japan have strong mid-runners. ”

"It's the Naturalized Corps from Africa again......" Zhang Guan sighed lightly.

I only heard Director Ma continue: "This Doha Asian Games. There are about 900 athletes sent by our country, which is the largest scale to participate in the overseas Asian Games, and there are more than 400 coaches, staff, translators, etc., and it is estimated that the number of delegations can reach more than 1,300 people. You know that in two years it will be the Olympic Games in our country, so in this Doha Asian Games, the main target of our national team is still the athletes who practice hammer throw, to prepare for the Olympic Games in two years. ”

Zhang Guan thought for a while and said: "In the two events of 800 meters and 1500 meters, our country is determined to not be able to pass the Olympic B standard, and we will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games. So I didn't send people to the Asian Games in Doha at all, and saved up places for other athletes who can participate in the Olympics, am I right? ”

"That's pretty much it!" Director Ma said embarrassedly.

"It's practical." Zhang Guan continued: "But this is just right! The 800m and 1500m events are all covered by me! When the time comes, I will go to Doha and get you another gold medal, and save money on air tickets and accommodation. ”

"Hehe, you just blow it. Running in the middle is not the same as sprinting. Director Ma continued: "In the next few days, at the National Track and Field Championships, if you really want to have fun, then try it, but pay attention to protect your body and don't hurt yourself." You'll have to keep playing in the Golden League! ”

Director Ma put down the phone, sighed slightly, and said to himself: "Am I too indulgent to Zhang Guan?" ”

But then, Director Ma remembered his leader, Director Luo, and seemed to be even more indulgent to Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan is undoubtedly the current "No. 1 Tianzi" athlete in China, with a lot of world records in hand, even Da Yao, who plays basketball, is not as good as Zhang Guan, so Zhang Guan can undoubtedly enjoy more privileges. For example, in terms of leave, it is much more difficult for Liu Feiren to take a vacation than Zhang Guan, for example, Liu Feiren has applied for leave twice this year, but it has not been approved, and Zhang Guan generally submits an application, Director Luo will approve it very happily.

The management of the national team is actually quite strict, especially for young athletes, except for Zhang Guan. In fact, whether it is in the eyes of Director Luo, Director Ma or Director Yu, Zhang Guan is still a big child, or a big child with a lot of personality, and they may be more of a special doting on Zhang Guan.

……

Zhang Guan put down his phone, entered the system, and silently examined the new skill.

Skill: Follow Running, Master. Follow the runner at the same pace and speed in front of the same track, and the physical exertion is 50% of the normal. Note: Skills have no effect when there are no athletes in front of the same track, and skills have no effect when there are ringing athletes in front.

"Follow the run, the magic skill of middle-distance running!" Zhang Guan sighed silently.

The biggest difference between middle-distance running and sprinting is the parallel. Sprinting is a track for each person, and there is a "rush line" in middle and long distance running, as long as the athlete crosses the rush line, you can merge, all athletes will choose the innermost distance shortest track to run, so the athlete will run in a straight line.

Each athlete's physical fitness and technical characteristics are different, and the physical reserve and on-field state of each game are also different, so there will naturally be some people running fast and some running slow in the game.

But if there is a person who runs as fast as others and moves at the same pace as others, but the physical exertion is only half of that of others, it is equivalent to directly announcing the result of the competition, and the person who has only half of the physical exertion will definitely beat the other competitors in the final sprint.

Therefore, Zhang Guan's skill can be said to be a magic skill of middle-distance running, in the game, as long as he crosses the line and completes the merger, Zhang Guan only needs to spend half of his physical strength, honestly run behind other people's butts, and wait until the most sprint to flash to a runway where there is no one in front of him, and then sprint desperately. Anyway, the physical exertion is only half of that of others, and the final sprint will obviously be much faster than other athletes.

But there are pros and cons, "follow running" can only be regarded as a championship-winning skill, but not a record-breaking skill.

The restriction of this skill is that there must be a leading athlete in front of the runner in the same track to use it, which means that if you run first, there are no other athletes in front of you, this skill is not effective. This skill is useless if the leading athletes in front of them are not on the same track.

In addition, the speed of the follow-up run depends on the speed of the runner in front, if the runner in front of him runs fast, the runner will naturally run faster, but if the runner in front of him runs slowly, of course the runner will run slowly. This means that the athlete's final result does not depend on himself, but on the person who leads in front of him.

In the case of using this skill, it is completely a matter of luck to be able to break a certain record. If the athlete in front of you runs the world record level, the runner will naturally break the world record, but if the leading athlete in front of you is only at the level of a national first-class athlete, then the runner is estimated to be able to run a faster result than a national first-class athlete.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is August 4, which is the day of the National Athletics Championships and the track and field trials for the Doha Asian Games. (To be continued.) )
