Chapter 96



This time, the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition spanned from the last day of 2018 to January 2, 2019. During these three days, the event almost became a grand gathering for domestic track and field enthusiasts, and also allowed many ordinary people who originally did not know or understand track and field events to have a certain understanding of track and field.

The General Administration of Sport was also very satisfied with the six-nation joint competition organized by the Athletics Administration Center. They believed that this competition not only achieved the basic purpose of "joint exchange", but also played a very good positive publicity and promotion effect on various Chinese track and field events in terms of organization and publicity.

Not only that, the General Administration of Sports also gave high praise to the effectiveness of the winter training and the progress in performance shown by the national team players during the competition.

At the same time, the General Administration of Sport also issued the latest instructions to the Athletics Administration Center, believing that this "Athletics Combined Competition" can be built into a fixed event brand in the future and held continuously for a long time to promote athletics exchanges among Asian countries. It can also be regarded as adding a test match to help athletes test their training results during winter training.

All in all, the result of this competition is: the superiors are satisfied, the athletes and coaches are satisfied, and the audience is also satisfied.

On January 3, with the end of the competition, the athletes of the national team flew back to City B from City H one after another. After returning to the training base of the national track and field team, all the athletes only took a short rest and then quickly returned to training.

In the Asian Six Nations Athletics Combined Competition, there are a large number of outstanding athletes in the national teams. However, in addition to those celebrities like Fang Yu who sparked the topic of the competition during the competition, there are also many athletes who are completely out of the audience's sight.

Some people perform well, while others make mistakes. This is a normal phenomenon on the court.

It’s just… the same winter training, the same competition, others qualified for the World Championships, but they performed poorly.

At this time, of course we still have to work hard when we return to the training base!

After returning to the training base, the coaches of the national team quickly contacted the coaching staff members who did not participate in the competition with the team. They also contacted the staff of the scientific research group and copied the videos related to their respective projects in this competition to their own project group databases. Then they did nothing else and temporarily let the assistant coaches watch the players' normal training while the coaches began to review the performance of all the participating players.

This kind of review work is also a daily routine for coaches. Whether it is adjusting the mentality of athletes after the game, reviewing problems that occurred during the game and then arranging adjustments to training details, these are all matters that they need to follow up quickly after the game.

Whether it was Pei Jinan, Li Mingzhuo or Su Bai, after returning to the training base, they almost immediately plunged into these affairs again, and had no free time to relax and rest.

There are channels and agreements for sharing video materials between the national team and units responsible for live broadcasts, such as sports channels. In particular, the national team's scientific research group will communicate directly with the staff of the live broadcast party whenever there is such a live broadcast event. In addition to setting up special sports monitoring machines outside the live broadcast machines for the national team to collect athlete event information, the live broadcast party will also be asked to provide some additional live camera positions for convenient recording and observation of athlete performances.

The final footage shot by these cameras will also be directly connected to the national team's scientific research group, and then become review research materials for the national team coaches.

This time was the same. After all the members returned to the team on the 3rd, the coaches from each coaching group held their own notebooks, staring at the players' competition videos projected on the large screen, and then assigned tasks and watched the athletes' performances, playing and rewatching them round after round.

It can be said that although there are now many sports video technical analysis systems that can intuitively analyze athlete performance, coaches still need to watch the videos themselves and then compare the analysis conclusions of the technical analysis system to determine whether the corresponding system analysis is correct and whether there are any omissions that require additional supplements.

Under the current technological conditions, although computer AI analysis can provide some references for auxiliary judgment, the only ones who can truly analyze the athletes' situation are still the coaches.

In the review work, Su Bai, with the assistance of the system, is indeed easier than other coaches, but this ease is also very limited.

The data that the system can provide mainly comes from the two observation functions of [Player Competitive Status Score] and [Psychological Status Score]. These are the host skills that Su Bai currently possesses under the level 4 host authority. These two skills can be used to observe the user's current competitive status and psychological status in daily life, as well as to conduct temporary additional related observations on the players in the event when watching games and reviewing recordings - of course, the system requires an additional fee (reputation value) for this service.

Through these two functions, Su Bai can observe various data of athletes in competition, but what he does is not limited to this. In addition to observing the players' data, he will also reversely infer the reference standards of these data given by the system based on factors such as the athletes' actual performance, pre-match training plans, results, and training status.

This is what Su Bai has been doing all along: using the system, staying awake, extracting, learning, and absorbing from the "correct answers" given by the system at a high concentration, improving his real coaching ability, and avoiding becoming dependent on the system.

For three whole days, the coaches of each event were busy in the conference rooms of their respective events, watching all the videos of the athletes and recording various data and their own opinions.

After completing the three days of video review work, it can be said that every coach was exhausted.

After Su Bai announced that the video review work of the 400-meter project team had come to a temporary end and the coaching staff members could go back and organize the data on their own, both Wang Ting and Zheng Xingguo in the coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, it’s finally over.

Of course, this video review is only the first stage. Next, they need to organize the information and data they recorded in the review over the past few days, and then review the players' training plans in the previous period of time. Then, based on each player's performance in the competition, decide whether any additional adjustments are needed in the second half of the winter training.

All of these are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and are not tasks that can be completed easily.

After Su Bai announced the disbandment, the leader of the 400-meter event stopped Su Bai and said he had something to discuss with him. Wang Ting and Zheng Xingguo walked out of the meeting room first.

After leaving the meeting room, Wang Ting and Zheng Xingguo looked at each other, and suddenly they both smiled and sighed.

"Coach Xiao Su is really amazing!"

Zheng Xingguo was the first to sigh like this.

In fact, just looking at Su Bai's performance, Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting have already admired Su Bai for a long time. However, during these three days of intensive video review of athletes' competitions, the ability demonstrated by Su Bai was even more amazing.

During the review work, on several different screens, coaches will slow down or pause the videos they observed at any time to review the problems they found or suspected to have in the athletes.

To be honest, this kind of problem is not so easy to judge. Whenever encountering such a situation, coaches of the same level as Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting, or assistant coaches, will start to observe the video together, and then use their own experience to judge the root cause of the problems shown by the athletes.

This kind of judgment is not easy to make. In addition to having excellent eyesight, rich experience and judgment, as well as understanding of the players, are also very critical factors.

Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting originally believed that Su Bai did have outstanding talent in selecting players and arranging training plans for them, but his experience might be a little worse when it comes to reviewing games.

For example, during the last Asian Games review, Su Bai had a heavy workload, so he handed it over to Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting to organize. The two of them had never really faced a direct clash of abilities with Su Bai until these three days...

Over the past three days, the coaches of the 400-meter sprint group of the track and field team have summed up three "whatevers" for Su Bai.

All the problems pointed out by Su Bai exist objectively;

Whatever Su Bai determined, his judgment was absolutely correct;

Any contestant that Su Bai says has no problem with, then there is definitely no problem with that contestant!

Even Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting, two experienced coaches with the title of national-level coaches, did not dare to say that they could do it as decisively as Su Bai.

During this period, Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting did not argue with each other, but sometimes they felt that Su Bai's judgment might not be 100% correct, so they would raise questions.

For example, when Lin Huan is running, there is a detail in her movement, that is, her left knee will slightly exert force inward. This is a not obvious movement, but this movement habit of Lin Huan has actually been recorded in her personal training business files for a long time. It’s just that the adjustment priority of this problem is not high, so she was not forced to correct it.

Zheng Xingguo had previously believed that this situation was caused by the imbalance of muscle strength on both sides of Lin Huan. It might be because Lin Huan's left leg muscles were weaker, so he would have this habit of slightly inward tilting of his knees during training or high-intensity competitions - because when the knees are slightly inward tilted, they can usually exert better force.

However, every athlete has the problem of unbalanced strength on both sides, and what coaches usually do is to ensure that these athletes can maintain a relatively healthy balance of strength on both sides.

Therefore, in Zheng Xingguo's view, Lin Huan's problem has never been a particularly big problem.

During the review, it was another coach who observed Lin Huan's condition and played the video in slow motion. Zheng Xingguo explained his judgment to him and pointed out that Lin Huan had always had this condition.

At that time, Su Bai was watching another contestant's replay video. After hearing this, he looked at the slowed-down and enlarged video of Lin Huan, frowned, and asked the coach to play the entire video of Lin Huan's run again.

It was at this time that Su Bai said, "No, Lin Huan's condition doesn't seem to be caused by an imbalance in the strength of the muscles on both sides."

?

At that time, all the coaching staff members present were stunned for a moment. Just as Zheng Xingguo said, the imbalance in muscle strength on both sides is not uncommon among athletes. It is also a common phenomenon that causes deviations in technical movements like Lin Huan's.

They have all watched the video and there is indeed nothing wrong with it.

Then...if it's not an imbalance in muscle strength on both sides, what else could it be?

As a result, after watching the videos of Lin Huan's preliminary and final matches, Su Bai rubbed his forehead and said, "I didn't even notice before... Lin Huan has a slight X-shaped leg."

? !

Wow!

When this conclusion came out, the coaches present were all stunned. Bow legs can lead to the risk of genu valgum or various pathological phenomena during training. Lin Huan had never had any...

Everyone was about to speak when Zheng Xingguo was stunned for a moment and said, "Lin Huan's left knee was indeed injured, and the injury has recurred before."

Huh?

Everyone was about to say that Lin Huan didn't seem to have any related pathological conditions, but Zheng Xingguo brought this up.

"But Lin Huan doesn't usually have bow legs... How she normally looks like, including how she walks, is all seen by everyone."

Su Bai paused the video directly and found screenshots of some of Lin Huan's running movements that were relatively obvious. After seeing those screenshots, the coaches on the scene felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Lin Huan's left leg.

"It's not just the obvious X/O-shaped legs that are seen in daily life that are the characteristics of XO-shaped legs. There is also a relatively rare invisible condition, which is Lin Huan's. The characteristics of XO-shaped legs will only appear when one foot is supported while running."

After a pause, Su Bai added: "Lin Huan's situation is even more special. Her bow legs only appear on her left leg, and the degree is relatively mild, so it is less obvious and tends to be a manifestation of inconsistent muscle strength on both sides."

At that time, the coaches in the coaching staff were a little confused, but after Su Bai found some personal data about Lin Huan that could prove his judgment, everyone truly believed Su Bai's judgment.

In the past three days, there have been more than one similar incidents. These were all things that were difficult to judge under normal circumstances, or it was difficult to draw conclusions from the video. However, with Su Bai's intervention, everyone was always able to get conclusions that convinced them.

It can be said that the coaching staff members, who were already very convinced of Su Bai because of his achievements, admired him even more after these three days.

Just like Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting.

"Who says it's not?"

After Zheng Xingguo sighed, Wang Ting also followed suit - last year, he initially just wanted to invite Su Bai, the new "star coach" in the 400-meter event, to go to the B city team for exchanges, but less than a year later, his attitude towards Su Bai completely changed from "looking at the junior" to "learning".

For them, Su Bai is like an inexhaustible source of treasure in the 400-meter event. As long as he exists, the domestic 400-meter event, which originally seemed a somewhat dry river, will eventually become a moist ocean one day - since then, countless outstanding 400-meter athletes have been born.

Zheng Xingguo and Wang Ting talked and chatted with admiration all the way, then returned to their respective offices and began the subsequent data integration work.

In the conference room, Su Bai was stopped by the team leader.

"Hey, what's up?" Su Bai looked at his team leader of the 400-meter event. He had been reviewing the event for three consecutive days. Even before going to bed at night, he was still immersed in studying the training plans for each event in the training space. He was really confused at the moment.

Team leader Liu Xiaohui smiled and took out a form in his hand, saying, "Nothing else, here is some data for you to check and confirm whether it is correct?"

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, then he took the form from Liu Xiaohui and glanced at it, then he immediately laughed: "I haven't seen the specific data in this form. The statistics here should have been checked, right? Have the data for this competition been added?"

That's right, what the team leader Liu Xiaohui brought over was the top 5 training test times and corresponding lists of the men's and women's teams in the national team's 400-meter sprint event during this period of time.

Liu Xiaohui also had a big smile on his face. He said with great interest: "Hey, Coach Su, you must say that our track and field events have attracted much attention recently. Track and field enthusiasts were asking about the top 5 list before the competition. After this competition, even more people are paying attention to our track and field team. Isn't that right? Track and field enthusiasts and many ordinary netizens have said that our men's and women's teams have been training together for such a long time, and we should release the statistical results earlier!"

At this point, Liu Xiaohui couldn't help laughing. He recalled and read a comment from a netizen: "Don't be shy. Only by releasing the results and letting everyone supervise together can the losing team learn from their mistakes and achieve better results!"

Su Bai also laughed when he heard the comment Liu Xiaohui read out.

At this moment, it was dinner time for the track and field team. Since returning to the track and field team, Qiu Wen, who had originally escaped from the nightmare of 'top 5', smelled the scent of 'devil Su Bai' again.

Thinking of Su Bai's threatening smile to him before, Qiu Wen became completely deflated.

That's right, tonight he was also sitting in the 'ordinary dining area' of the 400m project team's designated dining seats, and today, Zhang Ziyi was also sitting firmly in the top 5 dining area and did not 'go along' with him.

Qiu Wen was eating while browsing his phone, and he happened to see the netizen comment that Liu Xiaohui had read.

Looking at this comment, Qiu Wen was filled with indignation: "Look! Look at what they are saying! What does it mean to be brave after knowing shame and achieve better results! Our men's team is awesome, Lao Zhang has set a new national record!"

?

Li Junhao, who was sitting next to Qiu Wen and had recently developed a good relationship with Qiu Wen because of their inexplicable "common hatred against a common enemy", said very coldly after hearing what Qiu Wen said: "...What are you thinking about? Look at which dining area Zhang Ziyi is sitting in?"

…………

………………

Yes.

Qiu Wen turned his head with a wronged look on his face and looked at Zhang Ziyi in the top 5 dining area, with a sad and angry expression of "being betrayed by a comrade-in-arms" on his face.

Not only that, Qiu Wen was eating, and his former good comrades... and of course still good friends now, Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng, just 'happened' to pass by the 'special dining area for the 400-meter sprint event', and Wang Shen even smiled at him while he was eating, and made a virtual 'click' pose for a photo.

Next to Wang Shen, Cui Luoheng was even more direct. He didn't make a virtual photo pose, but the camera on his phone was ready, and he even took a serious photo of him...

Seeing that Cui Luoheng was about to take a photo, Qiu Wen immediately covered his face, and then paused for 5 seconds before raising his head. As a result, a smile suddenly appeared on Cui Luoheng's face, which had always been expressionless.

Looking at the smile on Cui Luoheng's face, a hesitant question mark slowly rose in Qiu Wen's head.

Then, he heard Cui Luoheng say, "It's not taking pictures, it's recording."

…………

! ! Qiu Wen almost exploded on the spot and jumped up immediately, wanting to threaten Cui Luoheng to delete the video of the shameful play, but Cui Luoheng had already synced the video directly to the cloud software.

?

Where does this cloud come from? Is it so fast? !

Before Qiu Wen could hug Cui Luoheng's shoulders and shake him wildly to threaten him to delete the video, Li Junhao said something behind him that chilled him to the bone.

"…The official Weibo account of the national track and field team has posted a message."

Here, Qiu Wen is still trying to get Cui Luoheng to delete the video, but the official Weibo account, which has a greater influence, has already announced the top 5 list and the number of times each team member has been in the top 5.

Qiu Wen looked at the data that had been made public, and finally collapsed on the spot - this world was really too cruel to him!

Weibo

The official Weibo of the National Track and Field Team: "#Daily Training of the National Track and Field Team#^^Over the past period of time, there have been enthusiastic track and field enthusiasts and netizens leaving messages, wanting to take a closer look at the top 5 data of the daily training of the national team's 400m event. Today, after confirming the data with @苏白coach, A Tian is here to make an 'official announcement' of the top 5 data! Of course, this data ranking does not truly represent the training situation of all athletes. Coach Su Bai specifically stated that 'the training projects and characteristics of some athletes result in their speed and efficiency not being too high', so this data is for entertainment only!~"

Because the content released is of this kind of daily life, the tone of the official Weibo account is particularly playful than usual.

The netizens who are here to watch the show don’t care about all this, they just come here to enjoy watching the show and reading the gossip.

As soon as the list was announced, even though the official Weibo account stated in advance that it was for entertainment purposes only, the number of times each player was shortlisted for the 'top 5' honor was still quickly ranked by netizens.

Then, everyone quickly found Qiu Wen at the end of the list, who ranked last in the top 5...

When Qiu Wen saw his top 5 data on the list, his face immediately turned green, and a big "danger" appeared on his head.

Danger·Qiu Wen·Danger……_(:3)∠)_!
