Chapter 10
As the students were exclaiming, the coaches of the sprint group also called out to Wang Pengfei.
"Pengfei, is this Su Yu really that Su Yu?"
"Didn't his parents come to the team through some connections and ask Liu Wenjian to take care of their child during the summer camp?"
"If I remember correctly, his family said that the child was very weak and just wanted to exercise, right?"
"Does he really have no training foundation?"
Wang Pengfei looked at the group of shocked coaches, and a smug look appeared on his face, as if he had a part in discovering Su Yu's strength.
He smiled to the coaches and said, "That's right, it's him."
"Forget about the training foundation. He has been exempted from physical education exams since he was a child."
"You all don't know Su Yu's best 100-meter result yet, right? He was exempted from physical education exams from elementary school to junior high school. He only participated in one or two on-the-spot tests when he was in good shape. So far, his best test result has never been less than 17.50 seconds."
The coaches listened to Wang Pengfei's words and were silent for a moment. Then they said, "So the student that Xiao Pei is interested in is really him?!"
"Ouch!"
Wang Pengfei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened - it was over, he was tricked by these old foxes.
The coaches looked at Wang Pengfei's expression, and those who were on good terms with him simply rolled their eyes at him and said, "Alright, why are you so surprised? With Su Yu's performance just now, we would have basically guessed it was him even if you didn't let on."
After the coaches finished speaking, they stopped paying attention to Wang Pengfei and started chatting together.
"The result was 14.32 seconds against the wind, which is not bad!"
"Does Su Yu really have no training foundation at all?"
"Not really! Didn't you see that he maintained a very good running posture when he was running just now? And without training, most children's body center of gravity and footsteps would not be as accurate as his, right?"
Including the continuous steps from the start stage, Su Yu's overall forward leaning posture is also very obvious. Because other students have basically not received any training in starting with starting blocks, their forward leaning posture in the starting explosive stage cannot be said to be completely wrong, but it can only be said to be wrong in a variety of ways.
For example, the wrong part of the body leaning forward is already a minor problem. Other people's mistake may be just leaning forward the torso above the waist. Some students simply just lean their heads and shoulders forward, making it look like a hunched-over run rather than a 100-meter start.
In addition, from the early stage of body shape transformation to the pace stage, his transitions in hip and knee flexion, stretching and pushing were also very smooth. In this respect, he was even better than many junior players in their provincial team.
You have to know that some kids in the youth team just can't learn how to make the landing supporting leg form an acute angle with the ground in the initial stage of acceleration to avoid insufficient braking force.
Oh, not to mention the junior team, even among the adult players in the first and second teams there are still a few guys with rough skills and who rely recklessly on their talents and can't get rid of these bad habits.
The coaches looked at each other, and then looked at Wang Pengfei.
"Pengfei, has Su Yu really never received any training?"
Wang Pengfei said righteously: "Of course not!"
He began to describe his initial impression of Su Yu to the coaches: "You don't know, Su Yu was so fragile at the beginning. On the first day of our camp, during the morning warm-up run, Su Yu was the last one. When he finished the run, I saw that his face was pale as if he had lost half his life."
"Guess what happened?"
"My brother Pei actually took a fancy to him at that time!"
Although Wang Pengfei looked a little silly, he had good expressive ability. He recounted in full how Pei Dingshan took a fancy to Su Yu and how he judged that Su Yu had outstanding talent.
The coaches present at this moment finally couldn't help but sigh - it's true that the little Pei is very skilled!
As they spoke, the coaches looked at Su Yu not far away with shining eyes.
"So Su Yu has just received some basic technical movements and sprinting knowledge training in the past two days?"
"Isn't that so?"
Wang Pengfei nodded and said, "I watched him train with Zhou Yuang. He learned and understood various technical movements very quickly and mastered them very quickly. However, I never thought that he could apply them in actual tests so quickly."
The coaches laughed when they heard this.
Who could have thought of this?
Two days of basic technical training directly improved Su Yu's 100-meter time from less than 17.5 seconds to 14.32 seconds.
Even if this is because Su Yu's past 100-meter results did not have any technical bonuses, the improvement in the early stages would appear to be greater, but the improvement is indeed too amazing.
"Alas, it's a pity that Su Yu's physical condition is not very good. If his strength, explosiveness and core strength were stronger, if he could reach the level of ordinary boys of the same age, his result would be within 14 seconds."
As they spoke, the coaches all looked in the direction of Su Yu with regretful eyes.
After this round of testing, the coaches in the coaching staff have a very good understanding of Su Yu’s talent. They all think that this kid has really good talent. The only pity is that his physical condition is still a little too poor.
"It would be great if my physical condition could be better. With my current physical condition, it seems hard to have any great development."
Many of these coaches are amazed by Su Yu's talent, but Su Yu's physical condition still makes them reserved about his future.
The main reason was that Su Yu had just completed a 100-meter test in front of these coaches. At the moment the test ended, Su Yu's face was pale and he was almost exhausted, which obviously left a deep impression on the coaches.
At this time, Zhou Yuang also started his 100-meter test. When Zhou Yuang stepped onto the test track and squatted on the starting blocks with his hands on the ground, the coaches who were originally discussing also turned their attention to Zhou Yuang.
"To be honest, Zhou Yuang is pretty good too."
"Yes, judging from his physical condition alone, Zhou Yuang still has an absolute advantage."
"Yes, and his technique is not bad either. This kid is very passionate about sprinting. He has talent, passion, and outstanding ability to learn techniques. I think Zhou Yuang has a better chance in terms of future achievements."
As they were talking, the starter on the test track had already given the command 'Ready'. This group of test participants was obviously stronger and could be considered the elite group of participants in this summer camp. Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan were both taking the test in this group.
When the starting gun sounded, this group of students' reaction speed was obviously faster.
But even among this group of elite students, Zhou Yuang's performance was particularly outstanding. His explosive power was very strong. From the moment he pushed off the start line, he was clearly at least one body length ahead of his opponents.
With the speed foundation laid in the starting explosive phase, and then to the rapid burst in the acceleration phase.
"Yes, the acceleration ability is very strong."
"The technique is still a little rough, and the foundation is not very stable."
"The starting technique is good, but the connection between the start and the acceleration is a bit stiff. The overall technique has its rudiments, but it still needs to be polished."
The coaches said so, but their faces showed that they were obviously satisfied with Zhou Yuang's performance. Just like they said before, when selecting players of this age group, the coaches will not force these young players to have good or bad skills, because they will have to start all over again once they join the provincial team.
After Zhou Yuang finished the run, his time of 11.83 seconds (wind speed + 0.3 m/s) not only put him far ahead of all the other students, but also made the coaches present smile and nod their heads in appreciation.
"During the provincial middle school sports meeting, Mr. Zhang from the Education Bureau mentioned to me that there was a good talent in our city's No. 7 Middle School, Zhou Yuang. However, our junior group was busy preparing for the World Championships qualifiers at the time, so I didn't check the situation. Now it seems a bit of a pity."
Beside the track, the coaches also gave brief comments to this group of test participants.
It should be said that this group is worthy of being an elite group. The results of the eight test students were basically within 13.50 seconds. Among them, Zhou Yuang had the best result of 11.83 seconds, and the second-ranked student also had a result of 12.26 seconds. This result is actually in line with the standards of national third-level athletes.
Su Yu was also watching this test match. In addition to Zhou Yuang, Jiang Yuan's performance was also very outstanding. He ranked third in the group and his final score of 12.89 seconds was already within the 13-second mark.
Comparing his own results with those of Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan, Su Yu pursed his lips silently.
——Sure enough, compared with a true genius, his results are far worse.
On the track, Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan, who had already finished the test, walked towards Su Yu together. Zhou Yuang smiled at him and said, "How about it, little ancestor, your brother and I didn't embarrass our 303 dormitory, did we?"
Su Yu glanced at him and ignored Zhou Yuang who was smiling brightly.
Jiang Yuan raised his hand and rubbed Su Yu: "How is your condition now? Have you recovered?"
Su Yu responded sullenly with a "hmm". He had tried his best in today's 100-meter test, and the final result was the best he could achieve so far.
He just still felt a little annoyed about his current physical condition.
Jiang Yuan ruffled his hair and said with a smile, "Our Xiaoyu is indeed a genius. His performance has improved by more than 3 seconds in just two days! When the summer camp is over, I don't know how much your 100-meter performance will improve!"
Su Yu frowned and dodged Jiang Yuan's hand, muffled and said: "I'm not a genius."
Zhou Yuang, who was standing next to him, heard this and immediately interrupted, "Huh? That won't do. Who said our little ancestor isn't a genius? Even if you said it yourself, Xiaoyu, I wouldn't admit it!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yuang put his big hands on Su Yu's head and started to rub it with a smile.
Su Yu was so annoyed by him that he slapped his hand away with his paw and glared at him fiercely. However, Zhou Yuang didn't mind at all. He even laughed and wanted to flatter Su Yu. In the end, he was stopped by Jiang Yuan.
***
After the overall camp opening test that day, when Pei Dingshan returned to the coaching office, the coaches of the sprint team were still in the office. When they saw Pei Dingshan, they started discussing with him -
"Xiao Pei, the good seedling you're eyeing is Su Yu, right?"
"yes."
"We have also observed Su Yu's situation. He is indeed very talented and has good comprehension in sprinting, and his physical flexibility is also good. However, Su Yu's physical condition is really too poor. With his current physical condition, he has to rest after running the preliminaries. Will he still have the physical strength to run in the semifinals and finals?"
"Yes, even if his physical fitness can be improved, the basic conditions are here. When his skills are in place, this is just a one-time physical fitness. If the schedule is tighter and a relay is added, his body will not be able to hold up."
"Overall, Zhou Yuang's conditions are better."
Pei Dingshan entered the office and quietly listened to the coaches' suggestions. These suggestions were indeed well-intentioned reminders. Pei Dingshan did not refute them one by one. After listening to all the suggestions, he still said calmly: "If I have to choose between Su Yu and Zhou Yuang, I will only choose Su Yu."
This extremely confident answer silenced the coaches who had just been making suggestions.
Everyone looked at each other. They knew that Pei Dingshan was optimistic about Su Yu, but they didn't know that Pei Dingshan was so optimistic about Su Yu.
"this……"
The coaches didn't know what to say for a moment, but Pei Dingshan said gently: "Let's put it this way, today's opening test, after all, Su Yu has only been training for two days."
"Wait for the camp closing test match 38 days later, and you can see how Su Yu performs then - maybe by then, everyone will have different opinions."
The author has something to say:
Zhou Yuang: Wait... Coach, am I abandoned like this? ! =口=!
