After entering the winter training period, the national track and field team once again became a hot topic because of the special competition mechanism of the 400-meter event of the track and field team. The topic #Daily training of the national track and field team# was also brought to the forefront due to people's interest.

When Zhang Ziyi and others saw this topic, they were in tears.

They were wrong. They only remembered that Su Bai led them to breakthroughs in various achievements and achieved unprecedented results in the Asian Games. They forgot what Su Bai did on the first day he took over the Asian Games training camp.

That was Su Bai, who found students from a sports school and let a group of them watch them being beaten bloody by American players!

How could they completely forget about it just because it happened?

So, in the end, we have ended up like this...

What is this?

Repeating the same mistakes?

After a day of training, the men's team members looked at the fact that only Zhang Ziyi and Li Junhao made it into the top five, and they all looked wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

It's not that they are not serious or don't work hard, but training does not mean that you can just complete all the training tasks at once. In the process of completing the training, you need to devote yourself to it and pay attention to the details of your movements - such as the amplitude of the arm swing, stride length, step frequency control, as well as the length of time the left and right feet touch the ground, the balance of force on both sides, etc. These are all things they need to observe carefully and control seriously.

If they really just run without caring about anything, that's not called training. It will only speed up their training and make them useless.

The men's team's current speed-specific training has been gradually moving towards the progress of 200 meters in 25 seconds per set. Every second of speed improvement is a step closer to the top of the difficulty pyramid for them.

In the process of moving forward, they all need to seriously adjust their status.

Judging from the failure of Qiu Wen, Zhang Ziyi, Li Junhao and others who challenged the 24-second speed limit, running five sets in a row with 25 seconds per set may be the limit for many people, and they are all challenging this limit.

In this case, it is certainly much more meaningful for them to really devote themselves to training and improve their own abilities than simply competing for victory or defeat.

Zhang Ziyi was using this reason to appease the members of the men's team, but then he saw Guo Dun giving him a hint with his eyes. Then he turned around and saw Chen Yada standing behind him.

…

…………

Chen Yadan looked at Zhang Ziyi seriously: "Why? Do you mean that our women's team didn't take training more seriously because we were trying so hard to win?"

...I'm not, I didn't, that's not what I meant!

Zhang Ziyi's face turned green, and then he apologized awkwardly: "Sister Dan, that's not what I meant..."

Chen Yadan didn't show any signs of being particularly angry. She just said in a very serious tone: "Although the training efficiency of the female team members is indeed higher, we have also devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to complete Coach Su Bai's training plan with quality and quantity. If the men's team wants to win, they should strive for better training efficiency and quality with the same investment!"

Zhang Ziyi froze in place. After hearing what Chen Yada said, as the most mature and steady captain of the national men's team, he didn't know how to respond at this moment - he just wanted to encourage the men's team members, really.

The competition within the team is still going on. Although Su Bai is cruel, he still smiles and gives the men's team a chance to redeem their dignity - the official Weibo of the national track and field team will announce the list of top 5 athletes in response to the requests of track and field fans, but this list will be integrated and announced once a month. The specific date will not be announced each time, only the number of times a certain team member has won the top 5 honor in that month will be announced.

In this way, although the number ratio of the male and female teams can still be touched, the men's team still has hope of catching up in the next period of time, and suddenly they have hope and motivation to continue working hard.

As for whether the women's team is willing to be overtaken in the remaining days, that is another matter.

In addition to the competition within the team, Su Bai certainly could not just let the athletes in the team train aimlessly. If there were no visible results after a long period of training, then no matter how firm their confidence and training enthusiasm were, they would be frustrated.

At this time, of course, we should have a good game, and then let the players continue to accept a new round of training burden when their enthusiasm is re-stimulated.

Of course, it is not just the Chinese national team that has this need. Teams from all countries have this situation. In the past, the Chinese team usually chose some Asian teams to compete against each other during the winter training period to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

This time, the team selected by China's national track and field team is the Japanese national track and field team.

As two major sports powers in Asia, the Chinese and Japanese teams have competed against each other in many events. Of course, both teams use the other team as a whetstone to help their own team find their competitive form, self-confidence, etc.

The same is true for the current China-Japan Track and Field Competition. Both teams have their own advantages, and the teams from both countries have decided on this competition with the mentality of competing with each other.

After Su Bai announced the competition information to the 400-meter team members he was in charge of, both the male and female team members suddenly became excited.

Su Bai also had a smile on his face: "We have been competing within the team for so long. Next, let's turn our knives against the enemy and have an external competition."

The Japanese team has always possessed top-notch strength in Asia in the 4*400m and 400m events. Su Bai is very satisfied with the Japanese team as a whetstone for the Chinese team.

There was one thing he didn't say - the guys in the team had been torturing each other for so long, it was time to let these guys, who had been driven crazy by the torturing, go out and get some fresh air.

Just as everyone was excited, Qiu Wen suddenly looked up at Su Bai and said, "Xiao Bai...if we win this time, can we have a feast?"

Su Bai looked at Qiu Wen with some amusement: "Of course."

Seeing Qiu Wen's eyes suddenly light up, Su Bai smiled and looked at everyone: "Since someone cares about this, then let's do this. In this China-Japan competition, one champion will get a three-day top 5 seat and package, two days for the Asian Games, and one day for the third place." After a pause, Su Bai said: "In addition, this result can be uniformly counted into the monthly top 5 results."

Hearing this, Qiu Wen's already bright eyes began to shine even brighter, and even the other team members began to look serious.

During this period, the members of the women's team have developed a habit of "testing poison and taking photos before eating", and they all post them on Weibo.

Although the official Weibo of the National Track and Field Team has not yet started to announce their monthly top 5 progress, some sharp-eyed people have found the Weibo accounts of each member of the men's and women's 400-meter teams and started to review how often they posted photos of delicious food during this period.

Needless to say, Qiu Wen, who seldom posted food photos recently, received countless "hahahaha"s under his latest Weibo post complaining about Xiaobai being a devil, and a group of people righteously advised him to work harder.

In short, in the current national team's 400-meter event, "showing off food" has unexpectedly become a unique medal related to dignity and victory.

Moreover, Su Bai just directly stated that these results can be added to the monthly top 5 results released by the official Weibo of the national team... Then if the men's team can work harder in the result of this China-Japan competition, perhaps it will be a chance for the men's team to turn things around?

Oh, and of course, if the women's team wins big and the men's team loses, that could be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the men's top 5 results.

With this idea in mind, both the male and female players became more eager to try. Even after finishing a day's training, although they did not do extra overtraining to ensure their condition, they would find their respective male and female team coaches and assistants to summarize the day's training results with each other in order to determine whether there was anything more worthy of attention and correction after a day's training.

National Track and Field Team, Pei Jinan's Office

"Online live broadcast?"

Pei Jinan was a little surprised: "It's just a competition, just like a practice match. Isn't it normal to have such competitions during winter training? There's no need for online broadcasts, right?"

Su Bai was seriously insisting on trying live streaming: "Coach Pei, Director Wang of the Track and Field Management Center and others mentioned this before. The Track and Field Management Center has also been promoting the popularization of track and field events. Compared to sports like football and basketball, which have some social aspects, our track and field events naturally have some shortcomings. If we want to attract more people's attention, we need to allow more people to have channels to see us."

"Although these fancy live broadcast gimmicks may not seem to be helpful to our competition, in the long run, they are very beneficial for attracting more viewers to pay attention to and understand track and field events, and for more people to like track and field events."

At the end, Su Bai smiled again: "Besides, the 400-meter team members have been training hard for so long, and I also want them to show everyone how much they have improved in strength over this period of time."

"This..." Pei Jinan laughed when he heard this: "You little white, you said all this for the purpose of the last paragraph, right?"

Pei Jinan smiled, but he didn't take his words seriously.

Speaking of which, he has always been an old-school coach who focuses on training and is not good at these fancy things. However, he knows that the Athletics Management Center has always been committed to the task of popularizing and promoting track and field events. What Su Bai said now is indeed consistent with the spiritual needs of the Athletics Management Center.

After thinking about it carefully, Pei Jinan nodded: "Okay, what you said makes sense. In that case, I will let the team contact the sports channel and try it together."

Pei Jinan frowned again as he spoke: "Wait, since we are going to do a live broadcast anyway, I think we might as well make the competition more formal. I will discuss this with the team and see how we can cooperate..."

So, that afternoon, Su Bai was left in Pei Jinan's office. After the two had some discussion, they went to the head coach of the national team for another talk.

Two days later, the official website of the national track and field team, the official Weibo account of the national track and field team, the official Weibo account of the sports channel news station, and the official Weibo accounts of national team sponsoring brands such as Hook, all launched a joint promotion directly on their respective platforms with the largest traffic - [The Asian Six Nations Track and Field Joint Competition will be held in H City, China soon. This competition is the first in history and is jointly organized by the six major track and field powers in Asia. At that time, the strongest Asian athletes in each event will be directly selected and awarded the title of "Asian Track and Field Star". 】

As soon as this news was released, almost all domestic track and field fans were confused - what on earth is this Asian joint track and field competition? Does it sound pretty awesome?

There are also Asian track and field stars, the strongest Asians in various events, etc.

The most amazing thing is that this event was also reported on the news channel, and the sports channel directly announced that this event will be broadcast live across Asia on the sports channel's online platform.

After a massive publicity campaign, even the hot search topics of this online live broadcast appeared on Weibo. Of course, the most exciting thing is that this time, the hot search topic on Weibo was not given the default advertising space in the entertainment industry, but was pinned to the top of the hot search in a very open and aboveboard manner, with an icon of the word "boiling".

This is almost telling everyone: I am promoting it openly, and there is official support behind it. This is an important content that the official is promoting.

Su Bai had not expected that the suggestion he had given before would eventually create such a big momentum. The original China-Japan track and field competition was directly expanded into a competition among the six major track and field powers in Asia. Moreover, after the Athletics Administration Center agreed to this suggestion, more professionals directly intervened, quickly identified the key elements of promotion, and then began to bombard the event with promotional information.

So much so that in the end, Su Bai was confused by things like the Asian Track and Field Star, and according to the Athletics Administration Center - this is a good suggestion. We will try it out this year. If the popularity and effect are good, we can continue with the second and third sessions during the winter training next year, and even organize a series of competitions to provide athletes with a way to verify the interim results of their winter training.

Su Bai was confused, and the other contestants were also confused - how did this China-Japan competition suddenly become a six-nation competition? It feels like the importance of this event has suddenly been raised a lot?

Of course, in addition to them, track fans are also confused.

Of course everyone knows that during the winter training period every year, the national team will lead the players out to organize some kind of competition, but no year's competition can be as grand as this.

However, this lineup is also welcomed by track and field fans. It shows that the country is beginning to pay more attention to the publicity and promotion of track and field events, which is definitely a good thing!

So, as the audience was eagerly waiting, and after the athletes suddenly learned that the event had been significantly upgraded and began to prepare more devotedly, the Athletics Administration Center also demonstrated its strong event deployment capabilities and quickly completed the event deployment at the H City Stadium.

In order to maximize the training effects of the athletes on their respective events during the winter training, the Athletics Administration Center did not choose to start the competition directly in the cold city B for convenience, but chose the final competition venue in the warm city H where the four seasons are as warm as spring. Regardless of whether they were foreign athletes or Chinese athletes who were in winter training at the track and field base, they all rushed to city H to start this three-day competition before the start of the competition.

On December 31, 2018, on the day just before the New Year, the Six Asian Nations Joint Track and Field Competition finally officially kicked off in H City.

Tickets for this competition will not be sold to the public. Only a small number of tickets will be put on the Internet for forwarding and lottery promotion. This is probably the only part of this competition that is similar to previous competitions. Ordinary audiences who can arrive at the scene to watch this game can be called European emperors.

On the Internet, since the Athletics Administration Center has attached great importance to the promotion of this new form of competition during this period, many people have heard about this competition through a lot of publicity.

Starting last year, track and field has suddenly become a frequent news item, from the 400-meter sprint to the 110-meter hurdles, to Su Bai's live broadcast and the special competition mechanism of the 400-meter event. These frequent news items have made viewers on the Internet who originally had no interest in track and field become curious about the event.

Therefore, after the live broadcast of the sports channel's online platform was officially launched, in addition to the track and field fans who flocked to the Internet, there were also many more ordinary bystanders who flocked in at the first moment than in the past.

At the H City Stadium, Shao Minyi and Li Sen, the golden commentary duo for track and field events, did not hide in the live broadcast room this time, but came directly to the scene to conduct normal live broadcasts and on-site commentary of the events.

"It's been a long time since I last saw the live feeling." Shao Min smiled and said, "Li Sen, you have heard about it too, right? This six-nation joint competition was originally proposed by Coach Su Bai. I don't think he expected that this proposal would eventually become such a large-scale competition."

In this competition, each country had fifty or sixty athletes participating, and the final total number of participants reached nearly 400, which is far beyond the scale of any previous winter training competition.

"Not only do I know this, I also know that the 400m athletes under Coach Su have already made tough statements to achieve good results in the 400m event in this indoor competition..." Li Sen laughed and said, "I heard that the competition between the men's and women's teams in the 400m event of our track and field team is particularly intense. The coaches of other events are also jealous when they see this situation. It's a pity that Coach Su Bai's reward model is not easy to replicate."

While Shao Minyi and Li Sen were chatting, the competition on site was about to officially start.

In order to highlight the competitive nature of this competition, when arranging the preliminary groups, except for the Chinese team as the host, which will arrange two players to compete in the same group, the remaining players will be distributed as evenly as possible.

What we want is the feeling of competition among players from different countries starting from the preliminaries.

Not only the players of the Chinese team, but also the players from other countries felt quite fresh about this so-called Six-Nation Tournament. After two or three months of winter training, all the players present were very excited to be able to have such a high-level competition.

It can be said that both Chinese players and other Asian players are very excited at this moment.

In the live broadcast room, although the spectators and track and field fans could not go to the scene to watch the game, they could still cheer on the barrage. So before the first 100-meter event in the morning started, the barrage was already filled with a sea of ​​​​cheers.

When the women's 100-meter race appeared as the first group of preliminary events, the audience was already very excited. Later, after the men's 100-meter preliminary group appeared, seeing Fang Yu also appear in the first group of men's preliminary events, the audience in the live broadcast room applauded enthusiastically with words.

This is Fang Yu’s first competition after the World Championship qualifying standards were announced!

Track and field fans all feel that this game can also give them a glimpse into Fang Yu’s current condition - of course, it would be even better if he could break the 10.10 mark in today’s game!

The track and field fans were looking forward to it, but they didn’t know that Fang Yu was also quite looking forward to it at this moment.

Ever since Su Bai proved his data prediction ability, Fang Yu, under Pei Jinan's guidance, switched to the entire training program provided by Su Bai.

He didn't know if it was psychological factors at work, but after switching to Su Bai's training plan, he did feel that his overall state had become more relaxed than before.

But Su Bai also explained to him that it would take a certain amount of time to adjust his overall condition and improve his performance, so in the short term, he only needed to look at the training data and technical adjustments, and did not need to pay too much attention to individual performance.

Following Su Bai's instructions, Fang Yu had indeed not paid much attention to his own performance during the past two months of training. Today's competition would be the first time in such a long time that Fang Yu would truly perform at full speed.

I wonder if this period of winter training can bring him a surprise in today's game?

With such a mood, Fang Yu did not hold back on the preliminaries. When he easily crossed the finish line in first place, the only several hundred spectators at the scene gave Fang Yu warm applause. Shao Minyi and Li Sen, who had always thought that Fang Yu was in good shape today but must have let him off in the preliminaries, were stunned after seeing Fang Yu's result.

"Fang Yu's preliminary result is... 10.03 seconds?!"
