Chapter 34 Cui Luoheng's Problem



"puff."

Cui Luoheng frowned and spoke in an accusing tone, which made Wang Shen, who was also a member of the midnight snack trio, laugh.

Qiu Wen turned his gaze towards Wang Shen with great resentment: I can’t be friends with him anymore, I feel like you are laughing at me too!

Perhaps Qiu Wen's accusatory look was too naked, Wang Shen patted Qiu Wen on the shoulder, smiled and comforted Qiu Wen: "You have only changed the project for more than two months, and your current results are so good. Although Xiaobai's daily training volume is high, the training volume is actually not too high. It is completely controlled within the range that your body can bear, and it can also greatly improve your training results and personal abilities. Ah Heng said that you don't know how to appreciate your blessings. Is he wrong?"

Qiu Wen opened his mouth, wanting to say that of course he didn't mean that, but when he saw Cui Luoheng, who was eating his midnight snack with his head down and indifferent, and glanced at Wang Shen's wink at him, he suddenly had an idea and shut his mouth.

After he moved to Xiaobai's team, he was in great shape. In the unfamiliar field of 400 meters, he won the top three places in the National Track and Field Grand Prix for two consecutive races.

Whether from the perspective of his future development prospects or other angles, he has not felt any pressure during this period, but is full of motivation to move forward.

Compared to him, the conditions of his two friends were not very good.

Wang Shen became famous at a young age and is the one with the best performance among the three of them. He has been called up to the national team for training many times. Among the young players under the age of 25 in China, Wang Shen's personal performance ranks first.

Of course, although Wang Shen became famous at a young age, he cannot be said to have no rivals. There is currently a young high jumper named Ye Wenhao who is slightly younger than Wang Shen. His talent and strength are no less than Wang Shen. In the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in February this year and the World Indoor Athletics Championships in March, Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao won and lost against each other, but Ye Wenhao refreshed his personal PB in one of the competitions and is now one step closer to Wang Shen by 2.30 meters.

Cui Luoheng is facing bigger problems now, because when he was promoted from the youth group to the adult group, the height of his hurdles changed from 99 cm to 106 cm. His personal hurdle attacking techniques and other aspects need re-training and adaptation. In the past year, he spent most of his time changing his habits.

By the end of last year's winter training period, Cui Luoheng's personal technical transformation had been basically completed. In February of this year, at the National Indoor Tour, he also won the 60-meter hurdles championship.

Not only that, his personal results in team training have basically stabilized within 14.30 seconds. Judging from his training results, he has all the strength to enter the final group of the national 110-meter hurdles event.

At this stage, the team believed that Cui Luoheng should have basically adapted to the new hurdles and his technical adjustments should have been successful. However, after the start of the outdoor season, Cui Luoheng participated in the 110-meter hurdles event of the National Track and Field Grand Prix twice in a row, but did not achieve any ideal results.

At present, his personal sb (season best) this season is only 14.53 seconds, which is far from his performance data in training. Even his coach Zhou Wen feels that he is not in right shape.

This situation may occur only because the athlete is in poor competitive condition or has developed a fighting fear and is unable to display his or her full strength on the field.

However, from Zhou Wen's observation, Cui Luoheng's recent training condition is obviously good. Before last year, Cui Luoheng had never had the problem of being afraid of fighting when participating in various competitions. From Zhou Wen's understanding of Cui Luoheng, he is not a person who would be afraid of fighting.

Since it is neither a condition problem nor a psychological problem, why does such a result occur?

When Qiu Wen and Wang Shen met Cui Luoheng privately, they also asked him what was going on, but Cui Luoheng himself could not explain the specific reason.

"... During the race, I felt like I could run a little faster, but I couldn't."

When Cui Luoheng said this, his face was expressionless as usual, but Qiu Wen and Wang Shen could both see that Cui Luoheng was in a low mood.

What's worse is that during the game, Cui Luoheng was not in good shape, but when he returned to the team for training, his performance was able to return to his original training level.

This state of being able to perform only in training but unable to display one's strength on the field will not make any athlete happy no matter which athlete it is in.

After having supper and on the way back to their respective dormitories, Qiu Wen couldn't help but chat with Su Bai.

"Ah Heng is so miserable. He obviously has the ability, but he can't show it in the competition. If he continues like this and fails to achieve results, it will be bad..."

In the track and field team, it is an environment where strength speaks louder than words. The team spends a lot of effort to train athletes, hoping that the athletes can achieve good results, win glory for the country and for the team. Just look at the different canteen rations on the three floors of the team and you will know that only athletes with strength and potential, and those who the team is preparing to focus on training, will be qualified to eat in the canteen on the third floor.

Judging from Cui Luoheng's past performance, he has potential, including his condition in training, he also has strength. However, if this strength cannot be demonstrated in major competitions and he cannot achieve real results in official competitions, then this strength will be meaningless.

Of course, the team will definitely not give up on a player just because of his short-term performance problems, but if the root cause of Cui Luoheng’s current state and problems cannot be found and solved, then it will be hard to say what will happen in the future.

Qiu Wen kept talking all the way, and finally sighed, turned around and asked Su Bai cautiously: "Xiaobai, can you tell what's the reason for Ah Heng's condition?"

In the past two days, Su Bai actually discovered that Cui Luoheng seemed to be in a low mood. It was not until he heard Qiu Wen mention it that he knew the real reason for Cui Luoheng's low mood.

In response to Qiu Wen's question, Su Bai thought about it and said, "I haven't seen Cui Luoheng's specific training materials, and I can't think of the reason for the time being."

Su Bai's reply was actually within Qiu Wen's expectations. Although he felt a little depressed after hearing it, he still nodded to show that he understood.

Finally, Qiu Wen sighed: "Ah, I hope Ah Heng can recover soon."

After the two returned to the dormitory, Qiu Wen went to wash up first. After thinking for a moment, Su Bai turned on his computer, logged into the provincial team's intranet, and began to check some of the training materials that were uploaded to the intranet.

Among these are public data that can be viewed by all internal coaches, such as Cui Luoheng’s performance data in previous competitions from the junior group to the youth group.

While Su Bai was recording and comparing Cui Luoheng's past competition data and some public training data, Qiu Wen came out of the bathroom with his bare chest and wiping his hair. As he came out, he told Su Bai that he could go wash up, and asked Su Bai what he was looking at.

"Cui Luoheng's past game data." Su Bai replied.

Qiu Wen:?

When Qiu Wen realized what Su Bai was looking at, he immediately showed a touching look on his face: "Wow! Xiaobai, you are looking at Ah Heng's data. Are you helping Ah Heng find out where his problem lies? Xiaobai, you are such a good person! You are the little angel in my heart!"

Su Bai was stunned by Qiu Wen's series of silly and critical reactions. Seeing that Qiu Wen was about to continue praising, Su Bai immediately spoke up coldly to stop him.

"...Little angel? Isn't he a devil coach?"

Qiu Wen:……! Oh no, how did Xiaobai know? !

Su Bai looked at Qiu Wen's shocked expression and fell into a brief silence before saying, "What you guys were talking about in the cafeteria, I'm not deaf either."

During the evening snack time, Qiu Wen, Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng would carry their food to a corner or to the cafeteria outside to eat, but there were only three of them in the cafeteria at night, and Su Bai, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, could more or less hear what they were talking about even if he was deaf.

What's more, Qiu Wen, this unfortunate kid, never thought about the problem that the cafeteria was quiet at night and his conversation might be heard by others, so he never deliberately lowered his voice.

Qiu Wen: ...It's over. Besides saying that Xiaobai is a devil, did he say anything else bad about Xiaobai?

Su Bai glanced at the too obvious expression on Qiu Wen's face, thought for a moment, and added: "Zhang Wei and Hu Li are my crazy fans?"

Qiu Wen: ...qaq

Seeing Qiu Wen's miserable face, Su Bai couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he patted Qiu Wen on the shoulder, picked up his clothes and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Su Bai actually found it quite funny to see Qiu Wen's shocked look on his face.

In fact, whether it was the devil coach or Zhang Wei and Hu Li building trust in him, it was of course all within his original plan.

After all, he is too young. While transitioning from an athlete to a coach, he also works as a chef in the kitchen. He really doesn't look like a serious coach.

It was okay before if it was only Qiu Wen's words, but as long as he continues on the path of coaching, he will eventually come into contact with more and more players. With this important identity, he can't be a sensitive, withdrawn and taciturn player like he was in the past when he was an athlete.

Fortunately, during this period, he gradually figured out some coaching styles that suit him.

During this period, Su Bai also gained a lot from the coaching experiments on Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei and Hu Li.

His master Zhao Heping, the team's head coach He Yishen, and the assistant coach Jiang Dongjian who can be considered half his apprentice, always say that he looks mature enough. From formulating training programs to arranging training plans and soothing and adjusting the psychological state of the players, he has done a good enough job. He is really young and promising, with outstanding talent, and does not look like a novice coach at all.

Only Su Bai himself knew that he was actually nervous at the beginning, but he was used to concealing himself since he was a child. When he was nervous, his face was expressionless, and others usually could not see any changes in his state.

As for those training plans, he has been observing and studying the conditions of several of his players day and night, and repeatedly comparing their historical data and system data. In addition, he has the guidance of teachers in the coaching simulation courses in the system, and can also conduct training simulations in advance on the simulated athletes. This can barely ensure that he can perform seemingly with ease in the training of Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei and Hu Li.

After two or three months of intensive research, he has gradually adapted to this intense research state. Fortunately, he trained Qiu Wen for a period of time before taking over from Zhang Wei and Hu Li, otherwise he probably would not have been able to achieve his current level.

After Su Bai lay down on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled slightly - in the past two or three months, although the pressure and intensity of work were unprecedented when he was just an athlete in the past, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction he gained from it were also unprecedented.

After relaxing peacefully for a moment, he thought of the information about Cui Luoheng that he had read before going to bed, pondered for a moment, closed his eyes again, and entered the system's idol training space again.

At present, the courses he needs to learn in the training space are still cooking and coach simulation. As for the cooking course, because he has completed the previous assessment and is now waiting for the completion of the coach simulation training course assessment, the time for the cooking course has been reduced to 2 hours each time. During these 2 hours, what he mainly needs to do is to repeatedly review and practice all his previous course contents to ensure that these cooking skills have been thoroughly engraved in his physical instincts.

As for the simulation training course for the coach, due to the reduction of the cooking course, there is an extra hour every day for him to observe and study the simulated players more.

Today, after completing 2 hours of cooking review, Su Bai immediately went to the training ground for the coaching simulation course.

Not long ago, taking into account the different development trends of different training programs and because he had extra reputation points, Su Bai simply splurges and uses three simulated athletes for each of Qiu Wen, Hu Li, and Zhang Wei. This means that Su Bai can observe the training effects of three different training programs on the three of them at the same time.

However, the system has some restrictions on Su Bai's approach. The data template of the same athlete can only be applied to a maximum of three simulated athletes, and the reputation points consumed will increase significantly when the data template is applied for the second and third time.

Despite this, Su Bai still chose the template application plan of three simulated athletes. After all, compared with the reputation points he paid, the efficiency of three simulated athletes is much faster and more efficient than using one simulated athlete and then repeatedly whitewashing his data.

As usual, Su Bai first looked through the training status of a total of nine simulated athletes, codenamed Qiu Wen 1-3, codenamed Hu Li 1-3, and codenamed Zhang Wei 1-3, and then made fine adjustments to their training plans.

At present, the training plans of Hu Li and Zhang Wei have been temporarily stabilized. Their No. 1-3 simulated athletes have respectively tried several training plans targeting their special ability deficiencies. By comparing the training effects, Su Bai can select the most suitable training plans for Hu Li and Zhang Wei for real-life training.

The training plan for Qiu Wen is more complicated. Qiu Wen is indeed talented in the 400-meter event, but his talent for rhythm control is indeed not strong.

After two or three months of training, Qiu Wen's control ability has been greatly improved, but in fact, his ability to perceive and adjust rhythm independently still needs training.

In addition, Qiu Wen is also in a new stage of learning how to use his own strength. He needs to first learn various strength application techniques to use his strength more reasonably and effectively.

Su Bai held a board in his hand and wrote and drew on the record book. He listed out the various things that Qiu Wen needed to improve in the future, including Qiu Wen's cornering skills, starting posture adjustment, stride adjustment, etc. These were temporarily listed on the board. They needed to be overcome step by step so that Qiu Wen's performance could be steadily improved step by step.

Qiu Wen's simulated athletes No. 1-3, except for No. 1 who continues to maintain the same frequency as the real Qiu Wen and slightly ahead of the training content, the remaining No. 2-3 are experimenting separately to see what adjustments need to be made for Qiu Wen in order to maximize his potential.

After arranging all the simulated athletes at hand, Su Bai thought about it and summoned the system panel and started a new simulated athlete - codenamed A Luo No. 1.

After Su Bai summoned A Luo No. 1, he copied Cui Luoheng's data from his own associated user directly and completely to A Luo No. 1, then checked Cui Luoheng's daily training plan in reality, and temporarily generated a training schedule for A Luo No. 1.

Although Su Bai was not really familiar with Cui Luoheng, he had paid for his midnight snacks in the cafeteria for two or three months. Su Bai had a good impression of this young man who lit up when he saw delicious food and was serious while eating.

In addition, not long ago, he learned about Cui Luoheng's exaggeratedly high taste sensitivity, which made him feel a little sympathy for this unfortunate child - after all, with such a high taste sensitivity, Cui Luoheng still had to maintain the nutritional needs of an athlete and ate the team's nutritious meals for every meal, and never protested or expressed dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, Su Bai felt deeply that Cui Luoheng was indeed a rare good team member, and the team's evaluation of him as a "thorn in the flesh" was really a deep misunderstanding of him.

Cui Luoheng would rather insist on enduring food that is very difficult for him to eat and seriously maintain his nutritional supply. This attitude of being responsible for his own physical condition further illustrates the importance he attaches to his sports career and his project.

Thinking of what Qiu Wen had been talking about to him on the way back from the cafeteria in the evening, Su Bai sighed slightly - he was clearly an athlete who loved his sport and had put in countless efforts for it, but he was clearly not without ability, but he kept performing poorly in official competitions.

This is obviously a very difficult blow for an athlete to bear. In the long run, it will inevitably cause tremendous psychological pressure on Cui Luoheng, making it even more difficult for him to exert his strength.

Although Cui Luoheng is not a member of Su Bai's team, since he has the ability, he plans to try his best to help, at least to find a way to help Cui Luoheng find out why he has the current problem.

Su Bai looked at the codename A Luo No. 1 who had finished compiling the data, thought about it, and directly sent him to the 110-meter hurdles track and let him take a test run.

After the system's starter gave the starting signal, Arlo No. 1 rushed forward with a vigorous posture. He looked very good in front of the hurdles, during the attack, and in the rhythm between the hurdles. The final test result was 14.31 seconds - slightly worse than Cui Luoheng's usual results in training, but not by much, and much better than Cui Luoheng's data in the competition.

Su Bai glanced at A Luo No. 1's competitive status and other data and frowned.

A Luo No. 1 completely replicates Cui Luoheng's current personal state, and in the current state, both the competitive state and the training state have shown orange alert - the data is only in the early 30s.

This shows that Cui Luoheng's current personal condition is poor.

However, after Su Bai discovered that Cui Luoheng had a highly sensitive sense of taste, he gave him a lot of special treatment. Logically speaking, Cui Luoheng should have a lot of buffs that increase the percentage of his training status.

That is to say, even with the buffs of Su Bai's food, Cui Luoheng's current condition is already very bad.

Su Bai recalled the Cui Luoheng he saw during the midnight snack. He did seem to be a little more tired than usual, but he always had a blank expression on his face. Therefore, Su Bai, Qiu Wen, and Wang Shen did not notice anything special about Cui Luoheng.

Judging from the data provided by the system, Cui Luoheng obviously needs to adjust his personal condition now, otherwise there may be some problems later.

The only thing that made Su Bai hesitate was that Cui Luoheng was, after all, a man under coach Zhou Wen of the hurdles group. If he rashly ran to coach Zhou and told him that his athletes were in poor condition and that he should be careful during training... that might not be a good idea.

But after taking a look at Cui Luoheng's personal data, Su Bai decided to find an opportunity to visit the hurdles group for training the next day. It was when he was observing the training that he discovered that Cui Luoheng was not in good condition.

The next afternoon, after watching the training of Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei and Hu Li and making adjustments to some problems that occurred during their training, Su Bai turned and went to the training ground of the hurdle group.

Unfortunately, he was still a step late.

On the training ground, Cui Luoheng was lying on the ground holding his right leg, obviously injured. His usually calm and cold face was now furrowed with a look of pain.

The coaches and assistants around rushed over and checked Cui Luoheng's injuries.
