Chapter 46
Since today's live broadcast is just a simple live broadcast on Jigu Video and does not fall into the category of variety show live broadcast, it is naturally impossible for national team coaches like Sun Gaoshu to carry a little bee (wireless microphone) on their bodies. The track and field fans in the live broadcast room naturally don't know what nonsense Sun Gaoshu, the leader of the sprint group of the national track and field team, is saying.
But Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, who were at the scene and not far from Sun Gaoshu and the others, both had expressions of "hard to describe" on their faces, and seemed to want to step forward and shake Sun Gaoshu's shoulders.
In fact, the audience in the live broadcast room was still passionately discussing Su Yu's 100-meter result, so they didn't notice the movement of Sun Gaoshu in the corner of the live broadcast screen. Otherwise, the audience would definitely ask the same soul-searching question - what happened at the scene? Why do so many people at the scene look like they’ve seen a ghost?
Could it be a ghost?
Ye Minghao, who was also still at the scene and came over to support Su Yu after seeing that he was exhausted after running the 100 meters, now raised his head in shock. It seemed that he wanted to say to the head coach of the track and field team's sprint group: Coach Sun, why don't you take a look at Xiaoyu's current condition and consider whether to say this or not?
After asking this question, Sun Gaoshu knew that he was too impatient, but he was indeed itching to see Su Yu's speed in the latter part of the race. He wanted to see to what extent Su Yu could maintain this speed in the latter part, and whether he had the potential to run 200 meters.
Thinking of this, he still asked: "Dingshan showed me your training plan. I saw that it said that you have mastered the technique of starting from a curve pretty well. Why don't you try running after your physical strength recovers a little? Don't worry, the 200-meter result will not be included in your scorebook."
At this moment, Sun Gaoshu looked like a weird old man who was trying to deceive the little sheep.
Pei Dingshan glanced at Sun Gaoshu and frowned slightly, but did not make a decision for Su Yu without authorization. Instead, he lowered his head to look at Su Yu, waiting for his own answer.
After a short rest, Su Yu's condition has recovered rapidly - although he still looks exhausted after running a hundred meters at full speed, Su Yu knows his physical condition. Compared with the beginning of training, his recovery speed is actually much faster than before.
It was just that after completing the 100-meter test, Su Yu was so tired that he even had some tinnitus in his ears. Only now that he recovered could he hear the sounds around him clearly. Therefore, his reaction to Sun Gaoshu's questions seemed a little slow.
Pei Dingshan looked down at him and said, "It depends on your own opinion."
Su Yu:?
When he finally figured out Sun Gaoshu's problem, Su Yu had already let go of Pei Dingshan and Ye Minghao's hands, then nodded and said "OK".
During this period, in addition to the regular 100-meter training, Pei Dingshan also trained him in some skills needed for the 200-meter run, such as curve starts, curve running techniques, and pace running.
Su Yu actually knew in his heart that Pei Dingshan's expectations for him were not limited to the 100-meter race, but that didn't matter to him. He only knew that whether it was a 100-meter or 200-meter race, he was willing to take the step and try to challenge everything he had never felt before.
Faced with Sun Gaoshu's request, Su Yu showed no fear and nodded in agreement.
Ye Minghao, who was standing next to him, was also a little surprised when he saw Su Yu nod: "Xiao Yu, you started the 200-meter training with Zhou Yuang, right?"
After Su Yu nodded in affirmation, Ye Minghao fell silent: "Isn't it only a week or two?"
He wasn't just saying this to Su Yu, he was also saying this to the national team coaches around him - see! Su Yu's 200-meter training has only been going on for less than two weeks. If he runs well, it's because he is gifted. If his results are average, that's to be expected!
On the side, Sun Gaoshu, the current short-distance running team leader who also came from the G Province Sports Team, heard this, smiled, glanced at the serious Ye Minghao, and cursed him as a "slippery guy".
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming originally planned to watch the 100-meter test and then move to the jumping test site to see Jiang Yuan's performance. When they heard that Su Yu had accepted the 200-meter test, they looked at each other and stopped their actions - Jiang Yuan's performance was certainly important, but they were more concerned about Su Yu's first 200-meter test.
The main thing is that, although they have watched relatively few competitions, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming already have some understanding of Jiang Yuan - this kid's main feature is stability. Now in the national team, Sun Yuhang is the only one who can beat him in the high jump. Relatively speaking, there are unlikely to be any accidents in Jiang Yuan's test. If they really watch the scene, Su Yu's 200 meters later is more worth looking forward to.
But just as they were thinking this, the director's anxious voice came from their headphones: "Teacher Tian, Teacher Zhou, is it convenient for you two to rush to the high jump test site now? Jiang Yuan and Sun Yuhang are arguing!"
Ahaha? !
When Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming heard the voice, they subconsciously wanted to find a high jump venue. However, the high jump group and the sprint group were not in the same test today, and the two venues were a bit far apart. If they rushed to the high jump group's venue, they would probably not be able to catch up with Su Yu's first 200-meter run test in a while.
Tian Ruhui urgently turned off the wireless microphone and asked the director: "How long will the fight last?"
The director replied: Just the last two jumps!
After receiving this reply, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming spread their hands and said: Well, don't think about it, these are the last two jumps, and even if they rush to the place, they probably won't be able to see these two jumps, so they might as well stay here and watch Su Yu's first 200-meter test.
But Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were still a little curious, so they asked the director quietly: "How did Jiang Yuan get into a fight with Sun Yuhang? Jiang Yuan doesn't seem like the type to get into a fight with others."
The next second, the director on the other end of the phone said quietly, "Teachers, Jiang Yuan is not someone who would argue with others, but what about Sun Yuhang?"
Tian Ruhui:.
Zhou Jiming:.
Oh, I'm so sorry. They both thought that Jiang Yuan would not argue with others, but forgot that Sun Yuhang has a very bad mouth and has said countless famous quotes in interviews so far.
for example.
——My condition in today’s international competition was not very good. I couldn’t do anything about it. The main reason was that my opponent was too weak.
——Ahaha? What should I do if I lose today's game? It’s a cold dish, what’s wrong? Does the law stipulate that athletes can only win and not lose in competitions?
There are countless examples like this. It can be said that media reporters have a love-hate relationship with Sun Yuhang's mouth. They love that he speaks without restraint and is outspoken, and such interviews are very explosive. But they hate that when interviewing Sun Yuhang, they are often embarrassed by him and often have a "silence is the interview tonight" scene.
After the director said this, they also understood that the reason Jiang Yuan would have a fight with Sun Yuhang was probably because Sun Yuhang was too talkative again - this guy, even though the national team had punished him dozens of times for his talkativeness, it was useless, you punish me and I owe you mine.
Thinking of this, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but shook their heads, feeling that Jiang Yuan was really miserable. He met such a senior with bad morals just after joining the national team. Moreover, Sun Yuhang was also a player coached by Pei Yongsheng himself, and he was Jiang Yuan's direct senior in the national team.
Thinking of this, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at each other and shook their heads.
After another three or two minutes had passed, the people in the sprint group faintly heard a burst of intense applause from another testing site in the distance. It sounded like it was coming from the high jump group, but they didn't know what had happened.
Another seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Yuan suddenly appeared at the testing site for the sprint group.
At this moment, the 200-meter test for the sprint group was already halfway through. Su Yu was doing some simple warm-up preparations at the side of the field, maintaining his condition in preparation for going on stage later.
Jiang Yuan: "Xiaoyu."
Su Yu looked up at him and greeted him: "Brother."
Ye Minghao saw Jiang Yuan coming over and asked him, "Is the test over?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes, there are fewer people in the jumping test group, so the test will end quickly."
Ye Minghao nodded in understanding - isn't it just that there are few people? In the high jump, there are only Sun Yuhang, the top player of the national team, and another player Zhang Xujian. Even if Zeng Shaowen and Jiang Yuan who came for the trial this time are included, there are only 4 people in total.
There were slightly more people at the long jump section, but only 5.
Although there were other athletes competing in triple jump and pole vault, it didn't matter to Jiang Yuan. He just had to complete his own test. With this in mind, the time he spent here seemed a little late.
Ye Minghao asked: "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Jiang Yuan was silent when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Not bad."
Just from the pause in his answer, not to mention Su Yu, even Ye Minghao could hear something wrong.
Su Yu glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuan thought about it and confessed: "I just lost the high jump test to someone."
A question mark popped up in Ye Minghao's head - in the high jump test, except for Zeng Shaowen, Sun Yuhang and Zhang Xujian were all capable of jumping over a height of 2.3 meters. Among them, Zhang Yuhang's PB of 2.39 meters even tied the national high jump record, and Zhang Xujian's PB of 2.34 meters was also a very competitive result.
Facing these two seniors, Jiang Yuan would not be wronged no matter who he lost to, and there was nothing to be angry about.
But Jiang Yuan added: "It was Sun Yuhang who said to me, 'You are the one who broke my record? Hey, let's compare again in today's test. How about I give you 5cm?'"
Jiang Yuan spoke in a calm tone, but Su Yu could tell that his brother was really angry.
Jiang Yuan continued: "I agreed, and I competed, and then I lost."
Even though Sun Yuhang gave him 5cm, he still failed to jump over 2.31 meters, so he lost.
When Ye Minghao heard this, he opened and closed his mouth, and a sentence kept echoing in his mind - this Sun Yuhang's mouth is really as bad as the legend says.
Su Yu looked up at Jiang Yuan and asked, "So?"
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I want to beat him before he retires."
Ye Minghao was silent when he heard this: "...Sun Yuhang is already 26 years old this year."
From the perspective of international competitions, the peak age of high jumpers can usually be maintained before the age of 30. After the age of 30, the performance of high jumpers will experience a more obvious decline. Of course, there are athletes who reach new peaks when they are close to retirement age, but they are only a minority after all.
In other words, if Jiang Yuan wants to defeat Sun Yuhang in the golden age of his career, he doesn't have much time.
Jiang Yuan listened to Ye Minghao's words and nodded: "Yes, I know."
Then no more words were spoken.
Both Su Yu and Ye Minghao could see that Jiang Yuan was serious about what he said, which meant that Jiang Yuan needed to sprint his performance to around 2.39 meters in the next three years, when he was around 17 years old.
but……
Ye Minghao thought hesitantly in his heart - is this really possible?
***
On the other side, in the high jump test venue.
Sun Yuhang looked at the direction where Jiang Yuan had left, touched his chin, and said to Pei Yongsheng: "Hey, Old Pei, this new seedling you picked up is quite interesting!"
Pei Yongsheng glared at him angrily: "You have no respect for your elders!"
"Besides, is that interesting? At the age of 14, he jumped over a height of 2.29 meters. Could you have achieved this result back then?"
Sun Yuhang said confidently: "That's because I started my special training late!"
Pei Yongsheng didn't bother to answer him: "So you mean Jiang Yuan's special training started early?"
When Sun Yuhang heard this, he chuckled and stopped talking.
He touched his chin and said, "Everything else is fine, but I just can't stand the anger."
Pei Yongsheng rolled his eyes even wider: "Don't you look at your mouth? I asked you to poke him a little bit to make him want to win, not to provoke him with your mouth - and you gave him 5cm! I think you almost lost face just now!"
Sun Yuhang put his hands on his hips and said, "Then I successfully jumped over 2.36 meters!"
Pei Yongsheng rolled his eyes: "It was Jiang Yuan who jumped over 2.29 meters. You were so stubborn that you had to be lucky to make it over. Just based on your posture and body control in the air, I can't help but criticize you!"
On the sidelines, Zhang Xujian had long been accustomed to the daily quarrels between Pei Yongsheng and Sun Yuhang, the master and apprentice. Only Zeng Shaowen was hit hard - in today's test, his condition was average and he only jumped over the 2.23-meter bar in the end, but Jiang Yuan, who had just defeated him not long ago, jumped over a higher height.
Even if Jiang Yuan eventually lost to Sun Yuhang, so what? Sun Yuhang has a gold medal in the men's high jump at the World Championships, so it would be fair for anyone present to lose to Sun Yuhang!
But it was obvious that both Pei Yongsheng and Sun Yuhang seemed to have an extraordinary interest in Jiang Yuan. Thinking of this, Zeng Shaowen gritted his teeth - so what if they were optimistic about Jiang Yuan? Zeng Shaowen still has a chance! Whatever the final achievement is, it still depends on the results!
***
No matter what the situation is in the jumping group, it has little to do with the sprint group.
When Jiang Yuan came to the sprint group, the time for the last 200-meter athlete to finish the test was almost up. After all, there were not many athletes in the 200-meter race, and the overall test took less time.
The fact that the test takes less time and involves fewer participants also means that there is a shortage of 200m runners, and the national team has a smaller range of runners to choose from.
Taking the standards of this World Youth Championship as an example, in the 100m event, at least Feng Xiaofeng has also risen and has the opportunity to compete with Su Yu and Ye Minghao for the final qualification for the 100m World Youth Championship.
But what about the situation at 200 meters?
The qualifying result for the 200m in this World Youth Championship is 21.40 seconds. So far this season, among the young athletes who are eligible to participate in next year's World Youth Championship, the number of athletes who have met the qualifying result is: 0.
This is a very embarrassing situation. That is to say, if no one runs under 21.40 seconds during the qualifying window ending in June next year, the Chinese team will face the dilemma of having no one to send to the 200m event at the World Youth Championships.
If even 200 meters is so difficult, 400 meters is even more difficult.
In fact, for this winter training, in addition to the original two male and female regular players, the national team has already called together all the U20 players who have the opportunity to challenge 21.40 seconds in the 200m event for winter training. The hope is to provide these players with intensive training during the winter training period, and help them successfully run within the standard time of 21.40 seconds within the new season's standard window.
But judging from the results of the personal test of 200 meters just now, it is not too optimistic.
The two young men's 200m athletes recruited into the team are Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang, who were born in 1999 and 2000 respectively. Their previous PBs were 21.46 and 21.51. In the just tested time, Zhu Songfeng ran 21.72, while Gao Leqiang did slightly better, running 21.60.
Such a result is undoubtedly difficult to satisfy the national team coaches, but the national team coaches did not show any dissatisfaction. After all, they also know that Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang's current level is still limited, otherwise they would not have been unable to break the 21.40 level for a long time.
After all the 200m runners had finished their tests, the coach who had said he would give Su Yu a vote said hesitantly, "Coach Sun, do you really want Su Yu to test his 200m results?"
After all, Su Yu has no 200-meter race experience, let alone competition experience, even his training experience is pitifully little. In addition, due to his physical condition - Zheng Sheng, the coach of the sprint group, does not think that testing Su Yu in the 200-meter race under such circumstances can produce any valid results.
Sun Gaoshu glanced at him and said, "Who said we can get a valid result now?"
"Didn't I say that? The main thing is to see if Su Yu has the opportunity and talent in the 200-meter event."
Zheng Sheng thought about it and found it a bit difficult.
After all, Su Yu is only about 1.7 meters tall now, and he has already lost a lot in terms of leg length. Even if his explosive power in the later stages is indeed excellent, he must increase his step frequency to compensate for his disadvantage in stride length.
From this point of view alone, Su Yu is at a disadvantage.
Sun Gaoshu glanced at Zheng Sheng and more or less guessed what Zheng Sheng was thinking, but he did not say much. After all, it was meaningless for him to say how Su Yu performed now. It still depended on Su Yu's own performance on the track to convince the national team coaches on the scene.
The reason why Sun Gaoshu was so sure that Su Yu would have a good performance was mainly due to Pei Dingshan's calm reaction - few people know it now, but Pei Dingshan himself was a very outstanding 200-meter prospect. If it weren't for the accidental injury, Pei Dingshan should have achieved good results now.
Sun Gaoshu believes that Pei Dingshan must have some extra feelings for the 200-meter event. Since Pei Dingshan has added relevant training for the 200-meter event to Su Yu's training, it means that Pei Dingshan is indeed optimistic about Su Yu's development in the 200-meter event.
Thinking of this, Sun Gaoshu looked at Su Yu who had already reached the corner and was about to start running, and sighed in his heart - but he also knew that he was indeed too anxious. Not only was Su Yu only 14 years old, but his physical condition was indeed not ideal. In addition, he was preparing for the 200-meter test...
With all these unfavorable factors added together, I wonder what kind of results Su Yu can achieve?
Theoretically speaking, a 200m runner's result is usually his 100m result x2 and slightly higher. That is to say, with Su Yu's 100m result of 10.39 seconds, Su Yu actually has a chance to run a time under 21 seconds, but theory is theory and results are results.
Sun Gaoshu thought that as long as Su Yu could run under 23 seconds in this test, it would be a display of great talent - after all, in the National U16 Track and Field Base Competition, the U16 athlete who won the 200m championship only ran a score of 22.53 seconds.
With this idea in mind, Sun Gaoshu focused his 200-meter observation of Su Yu on the technical basis.
Since the 200-meter start is at a curve, for 200-meter runners, starting on a curve itself is a technical difficulty that is completely different from starting on a 100-meter straight line.
On the track, Su Yu had already adjusted the starting block in front of him to a position slightly outside the middle of the track. He also adjusted the direction and angle of the starting block so that it formed a straight line with a certain angle with the lane line on the inside.
Seeing Su Yu's action, Sun Gaoshu nodded - OK, this basic knowledge is still mastered very solidly.
There is a significant technical difference between this kind of curve start and straight start. For example, the angle of Su Yu's starting block is designed to allow athletes who start on the 200-meter curve to have at least a short straight start distance in the first two or three steps of the start. This allows the athletes to exert greater explosive power with the short straight distance at this stage, and also allows them to do a better job of accelerating at the start.
This skill may seem small, but it is the key to whether the athlete can achieve better results in the 200-meter race.
So far, Sun Gaoshu dares to say that, at least in this small detail, Su Yu has done better than the two young players Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang - the coaches of these two young players may be accustomed to arranging the starting blocks for them in advance when coaching, so they all learned the coach's method of placing the starting blocks at a unified angle.
Although this method seems to be okay, it may not be suitable for the 9 steps from the first to the ninth.
In their test today, although the athletes did not test on the same field, they simulated the random lanes in the competition. When facing the random lanes, the relatively stiff starting block placement angles of Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang were clearly highlighted.
Seeing this, Sun Gaoshu made a mark on his coaching board - the basic knowledge has been mastered relatively thoroughly.
This was his first evaluation of Su Yu in the 200-meter event.
At the same time that Sun Gaoshu gave this evaluation, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, track and field fans who were watching the first day of the track and field sprint test were a little confused.
What’s going on? Isn't this a 200 meter test? Why does it look like Su Yu is about to go up again? ? 】
[Isn’t Su Yu a 100-meter runner? Has he ever run 200 meters? ? ? 】
The audience watching the game in the live broadcast room had no way of knowing what the coaches were discussing, so they didn't realize until now that Su Yu was about to take the field that he was also going to take part in the 200-meter test.
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming then remembered that they had forgotten to introduce the current situation to the audience, so they quickly gave the audience a relatively simple introduction -
"After the 100-meter test just ended, Coach Sun thought that Su Yu might also have good potential in the 200-meter sprint, so he suggested that Su Yu also take a 200-meter individual test on site. This test has nothing to do with the first day of the winter training, it is only a personal test for Su Yu."
? ? ?
After hearing this explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned for a long while, and the only thought in their minds was - is this possible?
But seeing that Su Yu had already adjusted the starting blocks on the test field and indicated that he was ready, the audience in the live broadcast room had to admit that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
However, Su Yu had never even run a 200-meter race in the past, so what kind of results could he achieve?
Just as the audience was thinking this, Zhou Jiming gave them a bigger blow: "Just now, Teacher Tian and I briefly consulted Su Yu's coach about Su Yu's 200-meter training. Coach Pei said that Su Yu has just started to take 200-meter related skill tests. He has a relatively preliminary understanding of the 200-meter pace and technology, but has little experience in the complete 200-meter integrated run. This 200-meter test can be regarded as Su Yu's first test after systematically learning the basic knowledge of the 200-meter run."
Audience: Huh?
They originally thought it was outrageous enough that Su Yu had never participated in a 200m race before and yet he was taking his first 200m test in the national team. But now you say that not only has Su Yu never participated in a 200m open event, he has not even done many complete 200m runs in training?
For a moment, the comments in the entire live broadcast room went silent. After a moment, a sentence floated faintly on the public screen of the live broadcast room: […I won’t say more. Given Su Yu’s situation, does he have a chance to run under 24 seconds? 】
Some people think that it doesn't matter what result Su Yu finally gets. After all, everyone knows that he has few 200-meter training sessions, and he specializes in the 100-meter. His 100-meter result of 10.39 seconds shows that his absolute speed is already very good. In this case, no matter how bad his 200-meter result is, it won't be that bad.
Besides, even if it is really bad, Su Yu’s 100-meter result is his key value!
The audience in the live broadcast room agreed with this statement and didn't say much in the end. However, they were inevitably a little less excited about Su Yu's 200-meter test.
Under such circumstances, the coach in charge of starting the race had already given the command "Get ready", and then, after Su Yu squatted on the starting block and prepared to start, the command "Ready" and the sound of the starting gun rang out one after another - this 200-meter individual test for Su Yu officially kicked off.
The author has something to say:
Pei Yongsheng: You really have a bad mouth!
Sun Yuhang: Hehe, just average, third in the world
