Chapter 119
Su Yu didn't know what Zhou Yuang was thinking in the stands at the moment. After finishing this set of preliminaries and seeing the final results, Su Yu nodded. He was quite satisfied with his preliminaries results - not much different from the results he had expected.
As a "control system" player, ever since Pei Dingshan pointed out the problem between his control and relaxation in the game state, during the entire winter training period, in addition to the regular training arranged by Pei Dingshan, Su Yu spent the rest of the time "struggling" with this problem.
Now, he can control his performance relatively accurately under normal conditions - of course, this is based on the fact that the intensity of the competition is not that high. Once it comes to the situation where you need to sprint at full speed, no one can truly "perfectly control the speed."
At this time, at the finish line of the race, Su Yu looked at his results and prepared to leave. At this moment, Su Yu suddenly heard a group of big men in the audience holding banners cheering for him and shouting at him at the top of their lungs: "Su Yu!!! I love you!!!"
Su Yu: “……?”
Even though Su Yu had heard many track and field fans cheering and blessing him on the spot last season, it was still rare to hear such a straightforward "confession", especially when the people shouting were a group of grown men.
So after hearing such a "confession", Su Yu stood there for a while, then waved in the direction of the audience seats, then found the direction of the exit passage and prepared to go to the backstage lounge.
Just like the usual venue settings, outside the exit passage is the reporter pit for the on-site reporters. A home reporter like Li Xiang certainly has a good advantage in today's interview area, so when he saw Su Yu from a distance, he greeted Su Yu loudly -
"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu is here!"
"Lee."
Last season, Li Xiang followed him for almost the entire season, even going to the World Youth Championship overseas. Su Yu is now very familiar with Li Xiang.
When Li Xiang saw him, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, you've made us suffer by hiding this from us!"
Without a doubt, this is about his 400 meters.
Su Yu paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "It was just decided before the winter training started in October."
Li Xiang and the reporters around him all heard that Su Yu was talking about his 400-meter run, which was decided only before winter training in October after the end of the outdoor season last year.
After hearing Su Yu's clear reply, even though Li Xiang and the others had guessed that Su Yu should have started 400-meter training during the winter training period, they were still shocked after hearing this answer.
In just one winter training cycle, he was able to run a time of 46.86 seconds in the first race of the new season!
Such talent and performance...
Li Xiang heard a reporter nearby muttering, "As expected, he is the record-breaking devil."
The so-called 'Record Devil' is a nickname given to Su Yu by enthusiasts in the track and field circle. As for why he got this nickname, there is no need to explain the reason. Just look at how many records Su Yu has broken from the 2017 season to now.
Before the start of this season, track and field fans were still guessing to what extent Su Yu could break the 100-meter and 200-meter records. No one expected that Su Yu would go against the rules and directly open up a new track, and in the first race on this new track he broke the record again.
Just watch!
Those big guys in the audience who just shouted "I love you" to Su Yu were all die-hard supporters of the 400-meter sprint.
My goodness, the moment Su Yu’s results came out, everyone’s eyes were filled with tears!
Li Xiang listened to the discussions around him, smiled and handed the topic to Su Yu first: "Xiao Yu, first of all, congratulations on breaking the national U18 record in the men's 400 meters!"
Su Yu nodded to him: "Thank you."
Li Xiang then asked with a smile: "But in the game just now, we also noticed that Xiaoyu, your overall state is still relatively relaxed, so your performance in the preliminaries just now is not your full strength, right?"
After hearing this question, Su Yu paused and said, "Yes, today's schedule is quite tight. In order to save some energy for the final in the evening, I controlled a little bit in the preliminaries."
When Li Xiang and other reporters heard Su Yu's answer, they immediately showed their expectation: "So, in tonight's final, Xiaoyu, you still have a chance to break the record you just set this morning?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "Is there a chance?"
After hearing Su Yu's answer, the reporters present immediately became excited - that's it! If Su Yu can really break the record again in the 400m final tonight, wouldn’t it be on the front page of today’s news?
They even thought of the news title - "Double records in one day! Su Yu made his debut in the men's 400m sprint and broke the national NU18B record twice in one day! 》.
If this one doesn't work, you can try changing it.
——"Double records in one day! In the first race of the new season, Su Yu won the men's 400m sprint NU18B, completely establishing his title as the young sprint king! 》
Anyway, no matter which one it is, it is a sensational headline!
Although Su Yu saw what the reporters were thinking, he blinked and didn't say much. Instead, he politely said goodbye to the reporters and returned to the locker room at the backcourt.
When he returned to the backcourt lounge, he reached for his phone and saw the message Zhou Yuang had sent in the group chat.
Zhou Yuang: [@Su Xiaoyu! You big liar! ! 】
Su Yu: [Xiao Yu's doubts gif]
Zhou Yuang: [@Su Xiaoyu, don’t play dumb, the audience in the nearby stands heard you being interviewed by the reporter just now! At this moment, the audience was saying - 'Su Yu said that there is a slight chance of breaking the record in the final tonight'! 】
Zhou Yuang: [Gif of Xiaoyu rolling his eyes, is that ‘a little chance’? That's a tiny bit of chance for you! ! ! 】
Su Yu: [0.0]
Zhou Yuang: [You, Su Xiaoyu, you only learned a little bit of bad things last year, but this year you have learned a lot of bad things! 】
Zhou Yuang: [I am the only good person left in this group. You all are bad. 】
Su Yu: […0.0]
Just then, Jiang Yuan and Ye Minghao appeared together.
Ye Minghao: [If the price of being a good person in this group is to become a poor person...]
Jiang Yuan: [^^I choose to be a bad guy. 】
Jiang Ruohui: […Pfft. 】
Su Yu: [Pfft. 】
Zhou Yuang: [……! ! ! 】
Unfortunately, although today's conversation started with Zhou Yuang "condemning" Su Yu, it ended up being a knife in Zhou Yuang's heart.
Under the heavy blow of this "knife", Zhou Yuang left the stage with gnashing teeth and tears in his eyes.
Joking aside, it did not affect the relationship between Su Yu and the others at all. For example, Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui, who had finished their competition early in the morning, could have gone to rest and eat earlier, but they had been waiting for Su Yu's competition in the audience until now.
Su Yu knew that Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui's game time in the evening was earlier than his, so he did not waste any more time in the lounge. He just asked the massage teacher of S Province Sports Team to relax him briefly, then he quickly changed into his sports jacket and went to find Zhou Yuang and the others.
For this competition, since the official hotel is not far from the sprint training base in Z City, G Province, the organizers simply arranged the athletes' meals at the sprint training base in Z City. In this way, all the ingredients are arranged inside the base, and the nutritional combination also meets the needs of the athletes. It is a win-win arrangement.
As players of the G Province Sports Team, Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui were particularly familiar with the cafeteria of their sprint base. So after seeing Su Yu coming out to meet them, they took a taxi and took him to the base cafeteria, where they had a good meal with Su Yu and the others.
While eating, Zhou Yuang sighed: "The food in your provincial team's cafeteria is really good!"
Jiang Ruohui smiled and said, "Actually, they should be about the same. The food in the cafeteria of your S Province Sports Team is pretty good, and the national team's is even better. Everyone's meal standards should be similar. Maybe you, Angzi, prefer the taste of our G Province cuisine."
Zhou Yuang nodded after hearing what Jiang Ruohui said. He has a very traditional southern appetite. The food he ate when he was in the national team was actually quite good, but it was northern cuisine, and the chefs in the national team were more bold in their cooking. Although their skills were all good, he just felt that something was subtly different.
Su Yu is not very picky when it comes to food. After all, he grew up taking medicine, so there is nothing to be picky about in terms of diet. He has to eat well for the sake of his health.
The few of them chatted for a while while eating, and soon they found that there seemed to be more and more people sitting near them, and the people sitting in these seats were looking in their direction with more or less curiosity, or to be more precise, looking at Su Yu's location.
It's not just watching, we also chat quietly from time to time after watching.
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu noticed the movements around him, and the others would not have failed to notice it either.
The main reason was that they arrived late today because of Su Yu's 400-meter race. According to the normal athletes' schedule, they should have finished their meal by now, instead of gradually showing up at this time.
Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui glanced around and quickly understood - among them were quite a few junior athletes from the G Province team, including those competing in the 100m, 200m and 400m events. Almost everyone who sat down stared at Su Yu. From a distance, it seemed that some people had chosen to replicate Su Yu's lunch, and then ate it as if they were on a pilgrimage.
Ye Minghao: “Puff…”
Jiang Ruohui couldn't help himself and complained quietly: "I saw several people got the same lunch as Xiaoyu. Maybe they thought that since Xiaoyu eats this way, they also want to try it to see if there are any benefits?"
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu was silent for two seconds, and wanted to say that his lunch today was arranged according to today's game. Although the dishes he ate were also familiar to him in daily life, they were still a little different. The dietary needs during the game and during training are different. This should be basic common sense... right?
Ye Minghao, who was standing next to him, probably saw the doubt in Su Yu's eyes and smiled: "It's okay, Xiao Yu, you don't have to worry about them. These guys are just here to check in and eat the same food as their idols. They wouldn't normally eat like this."
Needless to say, the reason why he came here to check in the 'same style as his idol' is that Su Yu is now worthy of the title of U18 sprint king, having swept all three sprint events.
Just when they were sitting in the audience, some track and field fans nearby recognized them and asked them - Su Yu, won't he run 800 meters next year after running enough short distances? !
When faced with such a question, even Ye Minghao and Jiang Yuan found it difficult to think of how to answer it appropriately.
In short, Su Yu, who has swept the three major sprint events, has abused all the U18 sprinters equally...
Oh, that's not right.
Because Su Yu was already 16 years old in the new season, the U16 player in the 400-meter sprint "escaped", leaving the NU16B record to the latecomers.
But it was also because Su Yu did not trample on the 400m U16 athletes, that the 100m and 200m athletes united to shout at the 400m athletes - Hey, your 400m U16 does not have our Yu Di's name on it, it is not advanced enough, you are not good enough in 400m.
400m runner:? ? ?
No...so is it about which project is dominated by Su Yu's name more? ! This kind of desire to win is unnecessary, right?
Anyway, no matter what, Su Yu's 400-meter preliminary race this morning has successfully helped him gain fans in the 400-meter event, so a scene like this happened in the cafeteria of the G Province Sprint Base.
***
In the cafeteria of the G Province Sprint Base, Su Yu and his group were still eating, while in the Track and Field Kingdom forum on the Internet, a lively discussion had already begun -
Theme: [Friends! What is Su Yu's current 400-meter level? ! Can any of you guys see this? ? 】
Subject content: [Su Yu 400m race video (jump link), attachment: Su Yu interview site mobile phone video.mp4
Above are Su Yu's 400m preliminaries video in the morning and the post-race interview video. I believe everyone has seen the race video. Wow, this is the first time I see a player whose T4 segment is faster than his T3 segment. There is no doubt that Su Yu controlled his speed in the morning. In addition, although the mobile phone video of the interview is compressed and the image quality is poor, the guy who recorded the video was in a good position, just above the reporter pit. It is the one with the clearest sound that I have found. Su Yu himself also admitted that he controlled his speed in the preliminaries in the morning. There is a chance to set a new record in tonight's final.
So the question is... What is Su Yu's current 400-meter level? ? ? 】
1st floor: [Sofa! 】
Floor 3: [Floor, by the way, the OP has collected quite complete information! 】
8th Floor: [Put down your butt. I would also like to hear any opinions from the big guys. Su Yu's 400m race this morning really stunned me. A runner who stroked at this pace and ran 46.86 seconds for 400m, is Su Yu the first in China? 】
12th Floor: [I am dying of laughter. I don’t know what Su Yu’s 400m level is, but I know what Su Yu’s starting reaction time is. At first, when I saw that Su Yu’s starting reaction time was 0.152 seconds, I laughed on the spot - Emperor Yu! Aren't you paddling too blatantly? So I suggest you just deduct 0.03 seconds from the result of 46.86 and just calculate it as 46.83! 】
15th floor: [Randomly interrupting the topic, why is he called Yudi? At 100 meters, there are Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming ahead of Su Yu, and at 200 meters there is also Zhan Youming. Isn't it too early to call him the emperor now? 】
18th Floor: [No, my friend, let’s not pay attention to the strangers when we are just chatting on the forum, okay? Of course what Yudi was talking about was the Suyu U18 championship. If you must include the adult group, do you mean to call him the Prince? 】
22nd Floor: [Friends in front, please stop arguing. I just made a rough comparison and calculation using the live game video replay provided by Jigu Video and the mobile phone videos provided by some audience members. Su Yu's T1 segment was approximately 11.85s, T2 segment 11.15s, T3 segment 12.05s, T4 segment 11.81 - the live video has switching of different angles, so the calculation is not very accurate. This data is just an estimate after comparing data from multiple sources.
But the overall time allocation range should not be much different.
I won’t say anything else, friends, I just want to ask - Su Yu ran the T1 section in 11.85 seconds, what does this mean! ! ! Even if we need to consider the physical strength in the latter part of the 400 meters, we can't let off steam like this, right?
T1+T2, Su Yu managed to run out of 23 seconds! The difference between the first 200 meters and the last 200 meters is only 0.86 seconds!
Without saying anything else, Su Yu must have been able to carve out another 0.5 seconds in the T1+T2 segment, right? 】
25th Floor: [@22nd Floor, the boss on the 22nd Floor is awesome! Wow, when I first watched the race I just thought Su Yu ran very evenly throughout the whole race, but now when I see the segmented pace... it's really even! 】
28th Floor: [Silence, T1+T2 segment 23 seconds, this result, Su Yu didn’t dare to run this result in his first 200m career race last season. 】
30th Floor: [Don’t even mention Su Yu’s first 200m race in his professional career. Su Yu’s first 200m test result was still a long way from 23 seconds, right? Speaking of which, Su Yu started to receive 400-meter training during the winter training last season, so Su Yu must have had his first 400-meter test before that. Does anyone know what Su Yu's first 400-meter test result was? 】
33F: [A friend of mine knows Liu Ji and said that he asked him secretly, but Liu Ji refused to say. I guess it must be an amazing result, right? Blind guess: under 47.50 seconds? 】
38F: [Come to think of it, isn’t there a unified formula for a 200m runner’s 400m potential? Just multiply your best 200-meter time by 2, and then add 3.5 seconds? For Su Yu, if the 200 meters is calculated based on a score of 20.48 seconds, then it would be (20.48*2)+3.5=... Damn, 44.46? ! So Su Yu has a chance to run under 44.46 seconds? ! 】
Floor 41: [@Floor 38, this announcement means that the athletes have the "chance" to achieve such a result after rigorous training. Su Yu has just received a winter training cycle, and being able to run 46.86 seconds is already a remarkable result! 】
43F: [Yeah, 46.86 seconds. I was shocked when this result came out. It was really that Su Yu slacked off. I thought that although the result was good, it should be outside 47 seconds. Li Mingzhou, who was following behind Su Yu, collapsed in the last 100-meter straight and ran more than 47 seconds. He might have been able to run under 47 seconds. 】
48th Floor: [It should be said that as of the 400m preliminaries this morning, Su Yu's time of 46.86 seconds was the only one in the preliminaries who ran under 47 seconds. He was also the only one who ran under 47 seconds in the men's 400m event this season. Although it is unclear what Su Yu's current 400m level is, one thing is certain, Su Yu is now the holder of the best domestic result in the men's 400m this season. 】
51F: […Fuck, it’s true! But the domestic best 400m result of the season is only 46.86 seconds, which is a bit shabby... Well, anyway, I hope Su Yu can perform well tonight, at least to make this season's domestic men's 400m best look better! 】
These track and field fans in the track and field kingdom looked at each other and talked a lot. Although they all confirmed that Su Yu had some reservations in the 400 meters, it was difficult to determine how much he had reserved.
So far, the reference given by the data emperor on the 22nd floor is still the one that has received the vast majority of approval - he believes that out of Su Yu's result of 46.86 seconds, 0.03 seconds can be squeezed out from the reaction time at the start, and based on Su Yu's state in different segments, there is a high probability that another 0.5 seconds can be squeezed out.
According to this calculation, Su Yu's 400-meter result is likely to be around... 46.33 seconds, or even possible to break the 46.30 second barrier? !
Han Yiqing and other people in the 400m enthusiasts group were of course also paying attention to this discussion post related to Su Yu. Their views were similar to those of people in the forum and they believed that Su Yu's real strength should be around 46.30 seconds.
As soon as the possibility of this conjecture appeared, they were already excited.
You know, last season, the best result among domestic men's 400m athletes was only 46.39 seconds!
After Yuan Xinghua, who was originally capable of breaking the 46-second barrier, disappeared due to a doping incident, no domestic athlete has broken the 46-second barrier in the past two years.
Although they now speculate that Su Yu's best 400-meter result is in the range of 46.30 seconds, and there seems to be some distance from the 46-second mark, it should be noted that Su Yu is young after all. Even though this is his third season in professional competitions, he is actually only 16 years old.
This season, although Su Yu was obviously slacking in the morning competition, the audience could also see that compared with last season, Su Yu's physical condition has improved a lot!
As he grows older, his muscle strength and other qualities will increase, and Su Yu's physical condition will gradually reach the most perfect stage. Under such circumstances, Su Yu's results will gradually break through the 46.30 second barrier in the future, and it is only a matter of time before he starts to break through the 46 second barrier!
Han Yiqing and other 400-meter enthusiasts are not afraid of a long wait. After all, even Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming in the 100-meter race, and Zhan Youming in the 200-meter race, all reached their current heights step by step.
Su Yu is still young now, and they can wait for his future achievements!
What they fear is not waiting, but the fact that there is no hope to wait for.
***
At the same time, in the national team, Liu Qinlong was so excited that his eyes turned red and tears came out when he watched Su Yu's "slacking version" of the game in the morning, and was laughed at by Zheng Shenghao next to him.
Liu Qinlong was too lazy to pay attention to him. Zheng Sheng had never suffered any hardship in the 400-meter event over the years!
After all, among the 200-meter runners, even before the emergence of Zhan Youming, there were at least one or two good hopefuls. How could it be different from the 400-meter runners?
Of course, the 400 meters is different now that Su Yu is here!
In the next domestic 400-meter races, as long as Su Yu participates... those guys still dream of winning the championship with a score of 48 seconds or more?
Oh!
Liu Qinlong sneered in his heart - wishful thinking!
While Liu Qinlong was sneering, Sun Gaoshu's cell phone rang. After answering the call, he smiled and congratulated Liu Qinlong: "Old Liu, it's done. The list from the Sports Federation has been approved!"
After hearing the news, Liu Qinlong jumped three feet high, and then immediately turned around in circles excitedly: "Okay, okay, okay, okay!"
The "approved list" that Sun Gaoshu mentioned is of course the participating list for the Qatar Asian Championships. After discussion, the national team still reported the names of Lin Zekai and Su Yu in accordance with Liu Qinlong's wishes. Although the Athletics Administration Center was a little hesitant, it still agreed after consulting the national team. However, the list is still stuck with the General Administration of Sports.
To be honest, if Su Yu had not achieved outstanding results in the 100m and 200m before, this list would have been rejected directly when it first arrived at the General Administration of Sports.
But because Su Yu had some outstanding results, the General Administration of Sports temporarily kept him on the list.
In fact, this list should have been submitted after the first Grand Prix in Z City, G Province, but the start time of the Asian Championships is approaching, and the national team cannot hold up the review of other players' lists because of Su Yu alone in the 400m, so the list was submitted together in advance. The General Administration of Sports also approved the lists of other events first, and only the 400m list was not approved for the time being.
Everyone knows that the General Administration of Sports is waiting for Su Yu's official 400-meter competition results.
Liu Qinlong originally thought that the Sports Federation would have to wait until the men's 400m final tonight before approving Su Yu's list. Unexpectedly, after the preliminaries in the morning, the Sports Federation approved Su Yu's list as soon as they started work in the afternoon.
Sun Gaoshu smiled and said, "Coach Pei went to the Sports General Association at noon and took Director Renma to watch the live broadcast of the 400-meter race. After watching Su Yu's 400-meter preliminaries, Director Renma was not stupid and agreed immediately."
Pei Yongsheng, Pei Dingshan and their family with the surname Pei have extensive connections in the sports circle. Apart from Pei Dingshan, there are three coaches with the Chinese national flag in their Pei family, all of whom are meritorious coaches who have trained Olympic gold medalists. There are many students from their family in the Athletics Management Center and the General Administration of Sports. They can be considered as the "bully" in the circle, but not the "bully" in the sense of a bad bully.
Normally, they seldom use their privileges, including Pei Yongsheng himself, who is in charge of the main training of the jumping group. He is busy every day and does not have much time to take care of all the matters of the sprint and stride jumping group. However, when it comes to the review of the list of athletes in the event, someone like Pei Yongsheng who dares to go to the Sports General Administration to look for people can be of great help to the sprint group.
After seeing Liu Qinlong's excitement, Sun Gaoshu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, just go back and thank Coach Pei. This time you finally got what you wanted."
In this Asian Championships, since there are only two places for each event, and considering the need to train for the World Championships at the end of the season and to allow the World Championships athletes to adapt to the venue in advance, the main players in most events chose to participate.
Therefore, the list of players for this Asian Championships is almost the same as that for the Asian Games. Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming will compete again in the 100m, and Zhan Youming and Su Yu will also compete in the 200m. The difference in the sprint is that there are more players participating in the 400m. Now the list for the 400m has also been finalized, which are Su Yu and Lin Zekai.
The national team moved very quickly. After the roster for the Asian Championships was finalized, before the Grand Prix final in the evening, the official roster of the national track and field team for the Asian Championships was directly announced on the national team's official website and official WeChat account.
After the national team announced the list, the coaching staff of various provincial teams, as well as reporters and track and field fans, who had already vaguely guessed this possibility, soon had a fresh and heated discussion.
And if there is anyone among all people who is dissatisfied with this discussion, it is probably Zhang Mingliang and Li Mingzhou.
Needless to say, Li Mingzhou had already threatened to give Su Yu a 'good look' in the competition before this Grand Prix. However, in the morning's preliminaries, Su Yu gave him a 'good look' instead.
Zhang Mingliang's dissatisfaction was more manifested in his increasingly irritable state.
In fact, before the official list came out, Zhang Mingliang's coach had already analyzed with him that the national team might not include him in the 400m Asian Championships list, even though Zhang Mingliang once ran a time of 46.03 seconds, but that was in the 2017 season.
Throughout the 2018 season, Zhang Mingliang's best result was 46.83 seconds, which was 0.03 seconds better than Su Yu's preliminary result in the morning.
In the words of track and field fans, if you reduce Su Yu's reaction speed at the start, you can directly achieve his result.
Zhang Mingliang wanted to refute, but when he looked at Su Yu's condition in the morning, it was really difficult for him to refute.
Speaking of which, Zhang Mingliang is different from Li Mingzhou. He is not the kind of player who has no aspirations at all. However, Zhang Mingliang's condition is really up and down. He has a more impatient personality and he is not unaware of the importance of rhythm control, but he just can't control it.
It would be fine if he couldn't control himself, but once he was not in good shape during the race, he didn't want to continue running, so much so that he ended up running results of 48 or 49 seconds in many races. He was unhappy when he was scolded by the team when he returned, but he just couldn't calm down.
This morning, he was in the groups ahead of Su Yu in the competition. It was rare that he was in good shape in the morning. He ran 47.09 seconds and thought he would probably advance with the first place in the preliminaries. However, Su Yu ran 46.86 seconds.
He didn't think that Su Yu shouldn't have achieved such a result, but after the Asian Championships list came out in the afternoon, Zhang Mingliang suddenly became indignant again. He felt that Su Yu's result was good, but he could obviously run better than Su Yu!
Otherwise, between him and Lin Zekai, he is at least stronger than Lin Zekai, right?
On the other side, on the hotel floor where the provincial team of Province Z was staying, Lin Zekai and his coach were very happy after receiving the official notice from the national team.
Lin Zekai's coach patted the honest-looking young man in front of him and said, "Zekai, after this list comes out, there will be more people staring at you. You must run well in the 400-meter final tonight, understand?"
Lin Zekai is a young man with dark skin and strong muscles. His facial features are not too outstanding, but he is very upright. It is because of his personal temperament that he looks a bit honest and old-fashioned even though he is only 21 years old.
But it doesn't matter whether he looks old or not. After all, he is an athlete, not an idol who pursues fashion and handsomeness. Anyway, Lin Zekai's coach feels that his players train hard and seriously. Although they may be a headache when they are reckless during the competition, they are much better than coaching a veteran like Li Mingzhou.
Lin Zekai's coach had long known that there was a chance that his player would be selected for the Asian Championships this time, but it was only after the official list was released that he felt relieved.
Of course, it’s not over even after I feel relieved.
He also saw that another athlete in the men's 400m team of the Asian Championships was Su Yu.
After seeing Su Yu's name, Lin Zekai's coach Xu Zhou patted Lin Zekai on the shoulder and said, "This Su Yu is really talented. When you go back to the national team training camp, you should observe him more and ask for advice. In addition, in the 400-meter final tonight, you should run as hard as you can and don't lose too much to others - especially Zhang Mingliang over there, and Li Mingzhou who was in the same group with Su Yu this morning. These guys must be holding their breath and want to make another push in the final tonight.
Anyway, no matter whether they are on the list for the Asian Championships or not, at least after they make it through, they can let people know that they are not defeated by you..."
While muttering to himself, Xu Zhou explained to Lin Zekai why he wanted him to run well at night.
But Lin Zekai is the type of person who doesn't think much about these issues - to put it simply, no matter what the reason is, he will take the competition seriously and give it his all without slacking off.
Xu Zhou looked at Lin Zekai's usual expression and fell silent immediately - okay, he knew it was useless to say these things to this silly boy.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhou waved his hands helplessly: "Alright, alright, take a rest and just play well in the game tonight."
Hearing his coach say this, Lin Zekai chuckled, scratched his head innocently, and responded loudly with "OK".
***
Next, on the first day of the Grand Prix today, after Su Yu became famous in his first match in the new event and the announcement of the official list of the national team for the Asian Championships, the time came to the start of the evening event amid the silent waiting of many players and spectators.
In the evening event, the first of the two sprint events was the men's 100-meter sprint final.
