Chapter 118 (Four in One)
At this time, Su Yu, who was criticized by Zhou Yuang for "overcorrecting", was standing on the court.
After more than half a year of winter training, Su Yu is now 16 years old and is standing on the court again.
Compared to his opponents on the field, he is still the youngest one among them, but this is already his third season of formal outdoor competition.
Compared to the beginning of last year's season, his height has grown to 177cm in one year. However, the heights of the guys around him, such as Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, are too outstanding. So even if he has grown to his current height, he still looks smaller when standing next to Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, who are over 1.9 meters tall.
The body of a 16-year-old child has not yet fully developed. Compared with last season, after such a long period of training and competition, Su Yu already has a thin layer of muscle, but his muscles are not as developed as other adult players.
Now that the child is growing taller, with his handsome appearance and taller stature, when the live camera scans over Su Yu, the audience in front of the live broadcast can't help but wonder - is this someone else's channel? Is this really a live broadcast of the National Track and Field Grand Prix instead of a scene from some campus youth idol drama?
You Xiaomeng and other Su Yu fans are already squatting in front of the live broadcast screen and taking screenshots frantically——
[Wow, wow, mommy’s baby!] ! ! 】
[After half a year, the baby has become more handsome! 】
【? The baby has always been handsome! Wow, the baby seems to have grown taller, but his face still looks very cute...! 】
In a remote small group, these Su Yu fans who are purely attracted by his looks have been "hibernating" for an entire winter training period. As the live broadcast of the National Track and Field Grand Prix G Province Z City leg began, a string of screenshots popped up in the group, finally making the fans in this group active again with great joy.
There's no way. Most of the girls in the group didn't pay attention to sports events in the past. They became fans of Su Yu because of his continuous unexpected hot searches last year.
Although they started watching a lot of track and field events and related information because they were paying attention to young athletes such as Su Yu, Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, when the winter training period came, Su Yu and the others all buried themselves in training.
Although the national track and field team is now following the call of the General Administration of Sports and trying to introduce star athletes, the Athletics Administration Center and the national track and field team are indeed not as advantageous as other projects in terms of athlete management. In addition, even if some variety shows in the entertainment industry are attracted by the popularity of the national team's athletes and want to invite athletes to participate in the variety shows, the national team must also consider that the athletes' winter training arrangements cannot be affected.
Due to various reasons, during the previous winter training and indoor competition cycle, which spanned more than half a year, a group of people in the national track and field team, especially Su Yu, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth - for more than half a year, apart from sending a "Happy New Year" during the Spring Festival, the rest of the time they just forwarded some official information from the national track and field team.
In just the past six months, Su Yu's fans have even relied on Zhou Yuang's daily Weibo posts to find sporadic information about Su Yu.
But Zhou Yuang seems to be careless and says whatever he wants in his comments every day, but when Su Yu's fans ask him about Su Yu, he keeps his mouth shut.
I'm very angry.
In short, a group of Suyu online moms who had been waiting for their babies for more than a year finally saw their babies again!
This is really cause for celebration!
Previously, when people were discussing on the internet that Su Yu's first race of the new season would be the 400m, You Xiaomeng's group was briefly "resurrected" for two days. They mainly urgently collected some information on the domestic men's 400m to study. However, after studying, this group of Su Yu's fans inevitably fell silent.
Ah this.
Why does the 400 meters have the same rotten smell as the men's football team (crossed out)?
But despite the complaints, fans are still looking forward to Su Yu's first 400-meter race. However, due to the current status of the project, they are inevitably a little worried and entangled while looking forward to it.
Even before the 400-meter preliminaries actually started, Su Yu's fans in the group were a little nervous, fearing that Su Yu would fail in this event that he had never been involved in.
So when Su Yu came on the stage, everyone in the group was just crazy about him for a while, and then they all started to get nervous and worried about Su Yu's condition in the next game.
***
At this moment, in the live broadcast of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are also commenting on the current men's 400-meter event together.
"Dear audience, now we have the eighth group of runners for the men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries. There are a total of nine runners competing in this preliminaries group. The one in lane seven is none other than 16-year-old Su Yu, who broke several men's 100-meter and 200-meter sprint records last season!"
"Yes, although we haven't seen each other for only half a year, I believe that the majority of track and field enthusiasts, like us, are already looking forward to Su Yu's performance in the new season!"
"Yes, and I guess it's not just anticipation, but also a lot of surprise, right?"
Zhou Jiming smiled and said, "Isn't it? Not to mention track and field enthusiasts, even we were shocked when we heard that Su Yu would participate in the men's 400-meter sprint in the first race of the new season. I remember that Teacher Tian immediately called his old friend to ask whether Su Yu was participating in the 400-meter sprint. This shows how explosive this news was when it first came out."
The joke between Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming immediately aroused strong resonance on the public screen of the live broadcast room:
【you do not say? I almost called the S Province Sports Team to find out the situation, and even wondered if the team had given Su Yu the wrong name...】
[Well, it is impossible to register the wrong name. Su Yu does not have any record of participating in low-level domestic 400-meter competitions, so if he wants to register for the 400-meter Grand Prix, he must use the wildcard quota of the S Province Sports Team...]
[I understand the logic, but at that time I really thought that the S Province Sports Team had reported the wrong name. Otherwise, why would Su Yu, a 100m and 200m athlete, run only the 400m? 】
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming laughed as they watched the barrage content displayed on the separate public barrage display screen in the live broadcast room.
When the news that Su Yu would participate in the 400m race came out, they were really shocked. Zhou Jiming's revelation was also true. Tian Ruhui went directly to Liu Yu to ask him if he knew that Su Yu's first race of the new season would be the 400m race. The feedback he got in the end was - [I just found out that Su Yu's first race of the new season would be the 400m race, but Su Yu did start training for the 400m during the winter training period. 】
After these words were spoken, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were sure that the national team really intended to let Su Yu run the 400 meters.
As for the reason why Su Yu was arranged to participate in the 400-meter race in this first game, as veterans like them, once they knew that the national team really wanted to arrange Su Yu to participate in the 400-meter event, combined with some possible events in the new season, they could quickly guess the specific reasons behind it.
Although they had guessed it, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were not sure of their own thoughts and were waiting to see how Su Yu would perform in his first race at the National Track and Field Grand Prix in Province G and City Z.
If Su Yu can perform in this race comparable to his performance in 100m and 200m, then their guess should come true.
Thinking of this, Tian Ruhui changed the subject and said, "Although Su Yu has proven his strength in the men's 100m and 200m sprints last season, how Su Yu can perform in the brand new 400m track still depends on the specific situation of the next game."
When Zhou Jiming heard what Tian Ruhui said, he immediately said in tacit understanding: "Yes, there are a total of 162 contestants in the men's 400m preliminaries this morning, divided into 18 competition groups. Only the top eight contestants in the preliminaries will be qualified to advance to the finals."
"So, the first challenge that Su Yu is facing now is the 'preliminary round'. Only after successfully advancing to the finals in the preliminaries can Su Yu perform better in the finals."
As for Su Yu, what should he do if he fails to advance to the finals?
The only answer is nothing - if you can't even qualify for the finals of the National Track and Field Grand Prix, then there is no need to mention other goals for the time being.
***
In the audience, Zhou Yuang and the others were also watching the group that Su Yu was in, but they couldn't help but complain while watching -
"162 participants... Where did so many people come from?"
Previously, there were only more than 130 participants in the 100-meter preliminaries. Surprisingly, the number of participants in the 400-meter event, which seems to be such a declining event, is much greater than that of the 100-meter event.
More importantly, among the more than 160 400-meter runners who were qualified to participate in the National Track and Field Grand Prix, after the competition started, there were not even ten people who could run under 47 seconds after running for a whole season...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuang's face was full of hesitation, as if he was afraid that he would say something inappropriate after opening his mouth.
In short, no matter what, Zhou Yuang thought, it is time to let these 400-meter guys accept a little shock called "Su Yu" - I just don't know what kind of mentality these people will have after the shock? Is it possible to know shame and then become brave? Or will you just give up after the shock?
While Zhou Yuang was thinking this, the players in the same group with Su Yu on the field also had different ideas. Most of them were curious but a little wary, while some felt disdainful but did not really say it out loud.
Those who felt disdain thought that Su Yu was too confident. They thought that since he had excellent ability in the latter part of the 100m and 200m races, he could be invincible in the 400m race.
Li Mingzhou is such an athlete. At the same time, he is also a good athlete in the domestic men's 400m event. Last season, he was one of the only few athletes who could run 400m within 47 seconds. He was also on the selection list for the Asian Championships.
In the last season, his 400m SB (season best) was 46.63 seconds, slightly worse than Zhang Mingliang and Lin Zekai. However, his coach analyzed the situation and believed that Zhang Mingliang's performance fluctuated too much, and the national team might not be willing to send Zhang Mingliang to Doha, Qatar to participate in the Asian Championships. So, in addition to Zhang Mingliang, the other most likely choices would be Lin Zekai and him.
So before the start of winter training last season, Li Mingzhou always thought that the national team would call him up to participate in winter training, but what he didn't expect was that when the final national team winter training call-up list came out, his name was still not on it.
Not only was his name not included in the winter training, but even with the Asian Championships approaching, there was no news of him being recruited into the national track and field team for the Asian Championships.
At that time, his coach asked all the familiar teams in China, but no one had heard who had been called up to the national team. Not him, not Zhang Mingliang, not Lin Zekai, and not the other players who ran under 47 seconds last season!
So who does the national team want to participate in the Asian Championships?
None of them had figured this out before, until Su Yu was about to participate in the 400-meter event in the National Track and Field Grand Prix in G Province and Z City, many people realized that something was wrong.
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were able to guess the possibility. Their coach was not stupid. After eliminating many possibilities, even if this guess was impossible, it had already become possible.
Because of this possibility, Li Mingzhou felt particularly unhappy with Su Yu. After the 400-meter group list for this National Track and Field Grand Prix was announced, he planned to teach Su Yu a lesson in the preliminaries - after all, a 16-year-old kid who didn't know his place would most likely have no chance of making it to the finals.
With such disdain, Li Mingzhou glanced at Su Yu in front of him on the right and sneered.
He was in lane six in the 400m preliminaries of this group, adjacent to Su Yu's lane. Although the race had not yet started, Li Mingzhou was already wondering at which stage of the next race he would surpass Su Yu - would it be the final straight sprint, or the curve stage in section T3?
On the seventh lane, Su Yu did not notice that there was another athlete like Li Mingzhou paying attention to him. He just focused on the track in front of him. After adjusting the angle and position of his starting block, he made the final pre-race preparations at the back of the track.
It was almost 12 o'clock, but the audience in the stands were still waiting for the start of the men's 400m preliminaries - to be more precise, these audiences were waiting for Su Yu's performance in the first match of the season, wanting to see whether Su Yu was participating in the 400m just for fun or whether he really had certain strength in this event?
With such anticipation, all the audience held their breath and concentrated.
At this time, the official starter on the scene had already blew the warning whistle, and after the whistle, he quickly gave the first instruction of "on your positions".
The 9 preliminary group contestants on the field quickly circled to their respective starting blocks, squatted on the starting blocks, supported themselves with their hands, and began to wait for subsequent instructions from the starter.
In the first seven groups of preliminaries just now, these 400m preliminaries contestants have very 'stably' maintained the preliminaries level of the 400m contestants in the past few seasons. For example, in the previous group of preliminaries contestants, the top-ranked contestant did not even break 48 seconds, let alone 47 seconds. The top-ranked contestant's score was 48.95 seconds - almost 49 seconds.
There was another group ahead of it. Perhaps because the strength of all the players in the group was relatively average, the first-place finisher only scored 50.31 seconds, which was quite worrying.
But when it came to their group, these players in the same group with Su Yu, when they realized Su Yu's presence, no matter whether they felt that Su Yu had a chance to achieve good results or not, they all subconsciously wanted to surpass Su Yu in the competition.
What's more, there are people like Li Mingzhou who have a grudge against Su Yu - before the start of this Grand Prix race, Li Mingzhou had already told the 400m runners he was familiar with that he would give Su Yu a hard time.
Under such circumstances, the players in the same group with Su Yu, whether actively or passively, certainly want to perform well in this game.
Therefore, before this game even started, the stadium was already filled with the tense smell of gunpowder, making this group of competitions look not like a 400-meter group preliminaries of a Grand Prix, but more like a 400-meter final of a Grand Prix.
When the smell of gunpowder filled the air, the starter on the scene finally gave a new command - "Ready"!
When this command sounded, the 9 group players on the scene quickly supported themselves with their hands on the ground and raised their hips, quickly getting into a ready posture, followed by a 'bang' of the starting gun.
“The game begins!”
After all, the 400-meter race takes longer than the 100-meter and 200-meter events, leaving the two commentators, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, with much more room to play.
As usual, Zhou Jiming took a look at the starting reaction time of all the players at the beginning of the game - the 400-meter event is similar to the 200-meter event, both start at a curve, so the players' reaction speed at the starting reaction time stage will not be as fast as the 100-meter event.
But this is only relative to ordinary players.
After all, to know Su Yu’s reaction at the start, you only need to look at his 200-meter start last season.
In the words of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, Su Yu has not failed in his reaction time at the start so far. It depends on what kind of running state he intends to use in a certain race, and his reaction time at the start will basically be right.
And just like the reaction time at the start of today's preliminaries...
Zhou Jiming: “Puff…”
Zhou Jiming saw Su Yu's reaction time number and said to Tian Ruhui with a smile, "Teacher Tian, Su Yu seems to be quite relaxed today?"
After hearing what Zhou Jiming said, Tian Ruhui subconsciously took a look at Su Yu's starting reaction time data - Wow!
0.152 seconds?
That was indeed relaxing enough, so relaxing that it was hard not to feel that Su Yu was just slacking off.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but compared to Su Yu's previous reaction time of 0.12 seconds at the start, the reaction time of 0.152 seconds at the start would even make people feel that Su Yu was dazed before the start.
and……
Tian Ruhui asked: "Is this the first time that Su Yu has lagged behind other runners in terms of reaction time at the start?"
Yes, in the starting reaction time stage of the 400-meter preliminaries just now, Su Yu's starting reaction time was 0.152 seconds, and Li Mingzhou in the sixth lane probably had a strong desire to "show Su Yu a lesson", so his performance in the starting reaction time stage was very good - Li Mingzhou's starting reaction time data was also the strongest in the field, 0.149 seconds.
:)
That’s right, Li Mingzhou surpassed Su Yu in this aspect with a starting reaction speed of 0.003 seconds.
During the explosive start phase, Li Mingzhou even felt that the past legends about Su Yu in the stadium were all false, such as Su Yu's amazing reaction speed at the start - after all, in the reaction phase of the start just now, Li Mingzhou didn't think Su Yu's reaction speed at the start was that amazing.
With this idea in mind, Li Mingzhou became more confident about this preliminary round.
The reason why Li Mingzhou dared to look down on Su Yu like this was indeed because of his own good strength. In the starting explosive stage of this preliminary race, Li Mingzhou's acceleration performance was very good, including his overall performance on the curves was also relatively smooth.
At the same time, compared with most of the domestic 400-meter athletes, Li Mingzhou's rhythm control ability is considered good, but his biggest personal weakness is that his absolute speed ability is not very outstanding, so it is relatively difficult to improve his results. It has also been commented that there is not much room for improvement in his future performance.
Li Mingzhou doesn't think there is much room for improvement in his future performance. The 400 meters in China is at this level. Isn't it enough for him to run more than 46 seconds in China?
As for the opportunity to participate in competitions abroad, he wants it, but what results can he achieve by participating in competitions abroad?
This is the performance level of domestic 400-meter athletes. Can we expect him to perform well if he participates abroad?
It has to be said that there are quite a few 400-meter athletes in China who have the same mentality as Li Mingzhou. In the early years, track and field enthusiasts felt that 400-meter athletes had fewer opportunities to participate in international competitions and lacked competition experience, so they could not achieve good results when participating in international competitions.
Moreover, in order not to put too much pressure on the athletes, track and field fans are encouraging towards the athletes on the Internet, and few people speak harshly to the athletes.
This has resulted in many players developing a bossy mentality - they don't have much ability and their mentality is fragile.
But even with this bossy mentality, they still think, "What belongs to me should be mine. Why should you or anyone else have the chance to snatch my Asian Championship qualification?" '.
After all, for these 400-meter athletes, they may not have much chance to break the national record, nor have much chance to win awards in international competitions, but as long as they can participate in international competitions, it is a kind of qualification, which will be of great benefit to their employment after retiring from their athletic career.
For example, if Li Mingzhou can qualify for the Asian Championships, his professional resume after retirement will have an additional title of 'member of the 2019 Qatar Doha Asian Championships National Track and Field Team'. No matter what results he can achieve in Doha, he will be unique among the national athletes.
It would be even better if he performed well in the game and qualified for the semi-finals!
So for Li Mingzhou, Su Yu may not only take away his qualification to participate in the Asian Championships, but also the opportunity to gild his resume after retirement.
After all, in his opinion, you, Su Yu, are quite good at 200 meters anyway. At least in the 200 meters event, you will definitely have a place in the Asian Championships. Why bother to compete with me for a spot in the 400 meters? Isn't this just a joke?
And how old are you, Su Yu? Only 16 this season!
He is already 27 years old this year and will retire in a few years. Do you, Su Yu, have to compete in the 400m event this year to make things difficult for him?
Anyway, no matter what his purpose or idea is, Li Mingzhou intends to teach Su Yu a lesson in the 400-meter preliminaries, and also let the national track and field team see that Su Yu is far inferior to him, so how can your national team have the nerve to directly recruit him as a member of the men's 400-meter group of the Asian Championships.
Perhaps because of these thoughts, Li Mingzhou was in exceptionally good shape in today's game. Not only did his reaction speed during the starting phase rank first in the game, but his performance was also maintained well after the starting burst.
Especially when entering the second 100-meter stage, which was the first straight section of the 400-meter race, Li Mingzhou's speed performance in this straight section was outstanding. One could tell from the fact that the distance between him and the player in the fifth lane had never been shortened - the preliminaries player in the fifth lane was not as good as Li Mingzhou in this race, and had already begun to fall behind at this stage.
But Li Mingzhou did not realize this. He felt that he was in good condition, but the distance between him and the seventh Su Yu did not seem to be shortened.
If Li Mingzhou had not noticed that the distance between himself and the contestant in the eighth lane had narrowed, he would have even thought that his good form in this game was all an illusion.
In the audience, Han Yiqing and other 400-meter enthusiasts were holding banners and small flags and cheering loudly for Su Yu. Some people noticed that Li Mingzhou looked good today, but more track and field fans were paying attention to the direction where Su Yu was.
At this time, a friend next to Han Yiqing asked him hesitantly: "Old Han, do you think... Su Yu's running... seems a little too steady?"
In fact, in the initial explosive acceleration stage at the beginning of the race, these group members did not have a very clear feeling, but as they entered the first straight stage after the explosive acceleration, these track and field fans quickly discovered that Su Yu's speed was fast, but it was quite different from his straight acceleration speed in the 200-meter race, which even seemed like a "displacement".
Of course, they also know that the 200m and 400m events are not the same. For the purpose of allocating physical energy for the entire 400m race, although the second 100m stage will indeed be the fastest stage for the athletes in the entire 400m race, the speed of this stage will definitely not be faster than the sprint stage of the 200m.
only……
Isn’t Su Yu’s speed a little too slow?
Yes, it's not slow, but simply "stable". In the second 100-meter stage, the speed shown by Su Yu and his state when running even gave people a subtle feeling that he was just doing daily training.
——And this cannot be daily training in pursuit of extreme speed.
If they had not seen Su Yu gradually narrowing the distance between him and the player in the eighth lane during the second 100-meter straight stage, they would even have suspected that Su Yu was fatigued today and therefore could not speed up.
But now it seems that it’s not that Su Yu’s speed can’t be increased, but that he doesn’t need to increase his speed to cope with this preliminary round!
When they truly realized this, the eyes of the 400-meter enthusiasts present immediately lit up, and their hearts became even more excited at that moment.
Su Yu’s current state and performance really make them feel as if they have seen the future of China’s 400m event!
With such a passionate heart, Han Yiqing took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said: "Don't be anxious, wait... wait for the T3 and T4 stages."
Han Yiqing was talking about the second bend and the last straight section of the next 400-meter sprint.
As die-hard enthusiasts of the 400m event, they are all too familiar with the situation of most domestic 400m runners. Because they cannot control their own rhythm, they often rush forward in the race and then lose speed in the latter part. In the end, they may perform well in the first two stages but completely collapse in the third 100m stage.
Even though Su Yu appears to be in such a 'stable' state now, the real situation still depends on his performance in the specific game!
***
Not only Han Yiqing and other domestic 400m enthusiasts, but also Li Mingzhou on the field was waiting for the arrival of the second bend.
As a domestic athlete who is somewhat good at controlling the rhythm of the 400 meters, Li Mingzhou may not be as fast as some other athletes in the early stages, but the second bend is often a turning point in his ranking.
Just like Lin Zekai, who is famous for his "recklessness" in the domestic 400m, in general competitions, he is usually gradually caught up in the third 100m stage.
In the first 200 meters, Li Mingzhou was more focused on his own race. Even though he occasionally paid attention to Su Yu's performance, he was in the race after all, and he couldn't have a clear judgment of Su Yu's rhythm like Han Yiqing and other spectators outside the field. So Li Mingzhou always believed that Su Yu was running very hard in the first 200 meters.
Therefore, in Li Mingzhou's heart, he was also very sure that in the next second bend stage, which is the T3 stage, Su Yu would definitely slow down greatly because he did not know how to grasp the rhythm of 400 meters!
With such confidence, Li Mingzhou felt that his condition today was exceptionally good. However, after he entered the third 100-meter stage, he quickly realized that Su Yu in the seventh lane not only did not slow down as much as he expected, but it seemed that in this stage, Su Yu's speed reduction was much less than his. !
Li Mingzhou felt a chill in his heart for a moment, but he soon realized that it was still because Su Yu did not know how to control the rhythm - perhaps Su Yu's speed and endurance were indeed very good, so the national team had high hopes for Su Yu's 400 meters and wanted him to participate in the Asian Championships.
But even if Su Yu can sprint at full speed in the third 100-meter stage, what about the fourth 100-meter stage? !
Li Mingzhou doesn't think Su Yu has the ability to sprint at full speed for four consecutive 100-meter stages in a 400-meter race!
With this thought in mind, even though the distance between Li Mingzhou and Su Yu had widened a little in the third 100-meter stage, he still felt that it didn't matter - the real test would be in the fourth 100-meter stage!
Just after Li Mingzhou turned from the second bend into the straight with this thought in mind, in the live commentary room of Jigu Video, the topic of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming at this time was - Su Yu accelerated!
"On the seventh lane, Su Yu is speeding up!"
"Oh my god, what an incredible performance... Su Yu seems to have reached a speed close to that of the previous straight in the last 100-meter straight stage? Su Yu's segmented speed..."
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming stared at Su Yu on the track in amazement. It seemed that he had only slowed down a little in the third bend, adjusted his rhythm, accumulated some energy for himself, and then made a new round of sprint in the fourth straight line? !
If the 400-meter race for general athletes is divided into four 100-meter stages, namely T1, T2, T3 and T4, the first 100-meter stage, which is T1, requires a starting phase in which the athlete's speed starts from 0, from reacting to the gun to bursting into action at the start and then accelerating around the corner. Therefore, even if the athlete's physical condition is good in the T1 stage, it is difficult for the actual speed to be very good.
In the T2 stage, since the athletes have already gone through the acceleration process in the T1 stage and this is also a straight section, the athletes' speed performance in this stage is often the best.
But after the athletes finish the T2 section, their physical energy consumption is already very severe, so when they reach the T3 section which is also the cornering stage, their speed will decline. However, the speed decline at this stage can also give athletes a chance to accumulate physical energy before the final sprint.
When it comes to the final T4 stage, the athletes can start the final sprint. However, during the final sprint, because the athletes have already consumed a huge amount of physical energy in the T1-T3 stages, even with adjustments in the T3 stage, the speed may continue to decline significantly in the T4 stage.
In the 400-meter event, the reason why the adjustment of the T3 segment is always emphasized is that after the adjustment of the T3 segment, the speed of the runners in the T4 segment may not be improved. However, if the T3 segment cannot be adjusted, the runners in the T4 segment may really collapse with a high probability.
For commentators like Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, it is common for players to experience a sudden drop in speed during the T4 stage, but the speed can still be recovered during the T4 stage...
At this moment, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming both felt as if they had seen a miracle - the only explanation was that Su Yu was really controlling his speed in the early stages, so in this final sprint stage, his speed was still able to achieve such a wonderful performance!
In the audience, 400-meter enthusiasts, represented by Han Yiqing, were already screaming.
“Ahhhhhh!!! Su Yu!! Charge!!!”
"The last 100 meters! Come on Su Yu! Come on Su Yu!!!"
Those who were watching the race on site felt most clearly the speed suppression of Su Yu over the other players in the last 100-meter segment. Li Mingzhou, who had seemed to be able to compete with Su Yu in the first three 100-meter segments, had now completely fallen behind Su Yu. No matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with Su Yu in front of him.
It was at this time that Li Mingzhou realized that Su Yu was not running at full speed in the first three stages - otherwise he could not believe that there was a player who could run at full speed in the first three stages and then make such a high-level sprint in the fourth 100-meter stage...!
At this moment, Li Mingzhou looked at Su Yu, who had left him far behind and was rushing towards the finish line in front of him on the right, and he truly felt what it meant to be suppressed by a genius.
Even if Li Mingzhou was unwilling to accept such a possibility, Su Yu's performance in the final sprint stage had already explained everything.
Li Mingzhou was still gritting his teeth and sprinting with all his strength, but the huge psychological pressure that Su Yu brought to him in this final stage caused his mentality to collapse, so that Li Mingzhou, who had performed very well in the first three 100-meter stages, saw his performance drop almost drastically in the last 100-meter stage.
Even though Li Mingzhou was trying his best to control himself and sprint hard, he still couldn't stop the trend of his speed decreasing.
Fortunately, the finish line was not far away at this time, and Li Mingzhou finally crossed the finish line ranking second in the group.
However, if he could maintain his previous state and cross the finish line, he would most likely be able to advance to today's final. But after his mental breakdown in the last 100-meter sprint, Li Mingzhou is now unsure whether his performance in this game will allow him to advance to the final.
After a period of anxiety, Li Mingzhou gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Su Yu - he remembered that Su Yu's physical fitness was very poor, so he knew that he would have to rush him in the preliminaries, so did he try his best in the preliminaries?
Crafty guy!
With this thought in mind, Li Mingzhou searched for Su Yu's figure at the finish line, wanting to see through his condition whether his judgment was correct.
As a result, when he saw Su Yu's condition, Li Mingzhou discovered that Su Yu's current condition was indeed average. He could be seen gasping for breath and his face looked not very good, but he did not seem to be in a completely unbearable state?
This discovery made Li Mingzhou's face look even worse - so Su Yu didn't actually try his best during the preliminaries?
Just as he was thinking this angrily, the replay of the previous group's game began to appear on the large electronic screen at the scene.
As the replays of the game played gradually, Li Mingzhou's face became increasingly ugly.
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. Earlier in the race, Li Mingzhou was still unable to notice it, but now that the race is over, looking back at this game from the perspective of an bystander, even a fool can see that Su Yu was completely controlling his speed in the T2 stage and did not increase his speed to the limit at all!
Damn it.
Damn it!
Li Mingzhou's face was as black as ink. He gritted his teeth and watched the replay on the large electronic screen. When the replay ended, the final results of this group were officially announced soon.
2019 National Track and Field Grand Prix G Province Z City Men's 400m Preliminary Group 8 Final Results -
First place: Su Yu (S Province Sports Team), 46.86 seconds, NU18B (national U18 best);
Second place: Li Mingzhou (J Province Sports Team), 47.22 seconds, SB (season best result);
Third place: …
The moment the result appeared on the big screen, the cheers of the audience in the audience seats sounded like thunderous drums - 46.86 seconds! ! ! New National U18! ! !
At this moment, all the 400-meter enthusiasts, led by Han Yiqing, were so excited that their faces turned red.
New national U18 record! ! New! ! A brand new record! !
How many years has it been since a new record was set in the 400-meter event in China? Although Han Yiqing and the others already knew that national records were not something that could be broken easily.
But after seeing Zheng Tianxi in the 100m and Zhan Youming in the 200m, who not only broke the national record in the 100m and 200m but also directly broke the Asian Games record in last season's Asian Games after their results in the 100m and 200m had stagnated for many years, it was impossible for these 400m enthusiasts to say that they didn't feel jealous.
After all, they are 400 meters...
Let alone unrealistic issues like the Asian record, they just hope that someday a player will emerge in the country and at least break the national record, right?
Currently, the domestic 400-meter national record is still 45.50 seconds - for the 400-meter sprint in the world, this result is at least 20 years behind the level.
The world's top 400m runners have all achieved results in the 43-second range. Taking last season as an example, the top three runners in the world all ran under 44 seconds, and one of them even ran under 44 seconds twice during the season.
Last season, 35 athletes from around the world ran under 45 seconds, and 83 athletes ran under 45.50 seconds, which is within the Chinese 400-meter record range.
And what about the Chinese team?
The best player last season was ranked only around 300th in the world.
Faced with this sense of gap and the lack of ambition of the 400m runners, it is difficult for Han Yiqing and others to maintain their former enthusiasm, no matter how much they love the 400m event.
But now...!
It’s different now! !
In the new season of 2019, they saw new hope in the 400-meter race - that is, Su Yu! !
This young athlete who was only a coveted 100m and 200m athlete in their mouths last season has now appeared in their 400m competition. In the first match of the season, which is also his first 400m professional history, he broke the Chinese men's 400m U18 record in one fell swoop!
46.86 seconds, this result made almost every 400-meter enthusiast present excited on the spot, and some were even slightly excited to the point of having red eyes.
"Old Han, 46.86 seconds! A new U18 record!"
"Damn it, this day has come for us in the 400-meter race..."
"Old Han, you saw it just now, didn't you? Su Yu's speed control in the T2 section was very fierce. This speed performance was completely different from his performance in the 200-meter race. And he didn't seem to be very tired after the race just now. So he must have been running in a relaxed manner in the preliminaries, right?!"
Han Yiqing nodded very seriously, "Yes, absolutely. Su Yu's speed on the first straight section definitely did not reach his peak, or in other words, he did not reach his peak 400-meter ability!"
The reason for adding this sentence is that the T2 segment when running 400 meters is definitely different from that when running 200 meters, but even by the standards of 400 meters, they can see that Su Yu has definitely not reached the peak of his ability!
The track and field fans present couldn't help but get excited when they thought of this. Some track and field fans even discovered the highlight of the performance data on the large electronic screen at the scene -
"Vocal, Lao Han, Lao Ma, look!"
Han Yiqing and Lao Ma Shi Tu looked back in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
The man pointed at the results on the electronic screen and said, "Look at Su Yu's reaction time at the start... Fuck, 0.152 seconds!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw Su Yu's reaction at the start, and then they realized, "...So Su Yu's 400 meters just now, wasn't it just speed control? Was it just letting the sea run?!"
Almost everyone present didn't dare to believe this possibility, but after they recalled the replay of the live footage just now, they had to believe it - after all, just like Su Yu just did, his speed was so steady during the starting burst and the first 100-meter straight stage, so steady that even a fool could see that there was a problem.
After this moment of astonishment, there was a burst of ecstasy.
After all, the more relaxed Su Yu is, the more it proves his strength in the 400-meter event. Not to mention anything else, even if Su Yu maintains the same "relaxing" speed just now, as long as he runs at his usual reaction speed, his result can be improved by another 0.03 seconds!
That would have to be a new 400m U18 record!
With such exclamations, even though the athletes in the following 400-meter group events returned to their usual level in domestic competitions, it did not affect the excitement of these track and field fans.
As for Li Mingzhou, he left with a stiff face after seeing Su Yu's reaction speed of 0.152 seconds and final result.
In the audience seats, Zhou Yuang looked at the excited audience, and looked at these track and field fans with an attitude of 'everyone else is drunk but I am sober', and whispered in his heart - is this shocking?
Oh, where have we come to this point?
You probably don't know that Su Xiaoyu, this little pervert, ran a result of 46.88 seconds in his first 400-meter test, right?
Before he had any 400-meter training, Su Xiaoyu could run 46.88 seconds. After an entire winter training period of improvement, his result only improved to 46.86 seconds?
If these words are spoken out, would these track and field fans dare to believe it?
:)
In short, wait and keep trembling!
The author has something to say:
Zhou Yuang: Tremble, mortals!
Su Yu:……?
