"Oh! I've got the score sheet for the third group of the preliminaries! Let's take a look at the final results of this group of players!"
Ishida Kappei enthusiastically began announcing the players' results, and when he called out Su Zhe's name, his voice was full of admiration.
"The last one is Su Zhe from China! Our beautiful and powerful Snow Leopard boy! What was his final score? Oh~ 10.16! A very beautiful number. He easily got into 10.20 in the preliminaries. It really makes people look forward to his next performance!"
At the commentary desk, Ishida Kappei continued his praise, while Su Zhe, who was standing by the track, couldn't help but frown after learning about his results from the staff.
10.16 seconds...even worse than his result in the national championship preliminaries...You have to know that at that time his sprinting skill was still at level 2, but he had already run a score of 10.15 seconds. Now with the bonus of the sprinting skill at level 3, his speed is still only 10.16 seconds. The difference is enough to explain the problem.
He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, but it was difficult for him to get into the best competitive state. If the Indonesian player's sudden acceleration in the sprint stage had not made him feel a sense of crisis and thus brace himself, his results might have been even worse.
Thinking about these questions, Su Zhe left the stadium absent-mindedly and retreated to the rest area specially prepared for athletes, waiting for other members of the Chinese team to finish the game.
After Ye Jun finished the preliminaries of the 110-meter hurdles, when he came to the rest area, he saw Su Zhe who was in a daze. He walked over to Su Zhe in two or three steps and greeted him.
"Azhe, what's wrong? You look listless. Did you not run well in the preliminaries?"
Su Zhe smiled bitterly and nodded, "Well, my condition is not very good, only 10.16 seconds..."
Hearing Su Zhe's answer, Ye Jun raised his eyebrows and patted his shoulder and said, "Wait... Ah Zhe, you... your score of 10.16 seconds, you said you are not in good condition?"
After a pause, Ye Jun added helplessly, "Do you know how many 100m athletes in China have run under 10.20 this year? Including you who suddenly emerged, and Chen Zhi who was injured and resting, the remaining four are Wang Qin, Qiu Xinchu, Zhao Zhixuan and Meng Hao! Among them, the personal PBs of Wang Qin, Qiu Xinchu and Meng Hao are all less than 10.16."
Ye Jun's words made Su Zhe stunned. He was completely immersed in his poor competitive state. His anxious and extreme thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he began to gradually return to normal thinking.
He roughly understood what Ye Jun meant. This was already an excellent result and he didn't need to worry about it.
However, Su Zhe was silent for a moment, still hesitantly asked: "But...what if I just compare it with my past state?"
"Compared with your own condition?" Ye Jun saw the hesitation in Su Zhe's eyes, but still said firmly: "Is the gap between you and your best result more than 0.20 seconds? Your personal best is 10.12 seconds. Even if you can run under 10.10 seconds in training, a performance fluctuation of less than 0.1 seconds is completely within the normal performance fluctuation range."
"Azhe, you have to know that we are human beings, not robots. We can't do everything according to the plan and do it to the last detail." Ye Jun said seriously, "You need to clearly realize that your previous idea was wrong. It's not terrible for athletes to have ups and downs. What's terrible is that you can't accept your own ups and downs."
“When you encounter ups and downs, find the reasons and solve them. Only by successfully overcoming your own psychological problems can you grow into a qualified athlete.”
Ye Jun's words made Su Zhe stand there in a daze. After a long time, he finally let out a bitter smile. The three words "robot" completely woke him up, and he finally understood what was bothering him.
Ever since the emergence of the Sand Sculpture System, he has been telling himself intellectually not to rely too much on the system, but subconsciously, he believes that with the help of the status buff, his performance should always be at its best... This is simply treating himself as a machine that cannot fail.
How could he forget that before the emergence of the sand sculpture system, even if he worked hard every day to do various dance training, it was difficult to guarantee that his stage performance would be 100% when he actually performed on the stage?
Ye Jun was right. As a human being, he would have ups and downs. But with his strength, he could ensure that even if he was in a low point, his performance would remain stable at a level that many people could hardly reach. In the competition, he even had the buff bonus of the sand sculpture system, which prevented him from falling into the worst state.
All he had to do was to truly use the system as a tool to improve his own strength, rather than making himself dependent on the system.
After figuring this out, Su Zhe suddenly felt relieved, and the slightly tense mood he had been feeling for some time also dissipated.
That’s right, if your condition is not good enough, then find out the reason why and try to improve your competitive condition!
Seeing that Su Zhe looked much more relieved, Ye Jun also laughed: "What? Finally figured it out?"
Su Zhe smiled and said, "Yes! Thank you, Brother Ye, I feel much more relaxed now!"
Ye Jun nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, you are one of the most talented athletes I have ever seen, and you have Coach Su to help you. I think even if I don't tell you this, Coach Su should be able to help you solve your psychological problems step by step."
While the two were chatting casually, the phone in Su Zhe's sports bag suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that the caller was his father Su Yinsheng.
Su Yinsheng's words were brief. He just told Su Zhe and sent him the latest training plan on WeChat, asking him to complete the corresponding training one hour before the semi-final in the afternoon.
Obviously, his father was also paying attention to his competitions, and saw his current problems through his competition results and status. However, he did not directly explain the corresponding reasons, but chose another way to relieve him - too slow to enter the competitive state? Then warm up your state before the game! Even if it means sacrificing a little physical strength before the game?
Just as Su Zhe untied the knot in his heart and returned to the host hotel with his father's training plan in a relaxed state, some tweets from Sakura girls who were excited after watching today's game appeared sporadically on Twitter in Japan.
[You must not believe it, I saw an angel at the Asian Champions Invitational today!!! Su Zhe, the male 100-meter sprinter from China... He must be the most perfect prince! Everyone present surrendered to his beauty, and Mr. Ishida called him a beautiful snow leopard boy... I think the prince from the Chinese Empire fits his image better! (Attached are screenshots related to Su Zhe during the live broadcast and the remade postcard)]
[I saw contestant Su, too! He is so perfect! He has great strength and a perfect appearance... Please watch the replay of the Fuji TV live broadcast! You will definitely feel his charm! ]
[Please be sure to watch the game of player Su! Player Su, I will be there to support you again this afternoon! ]
At the same time, the "philosopher" girls in Japan who had watched the morning game had temporarily left the venue and were gathering together for lunch and waiting for the start of the afternoon semi-finals.
When several girls opened Weibo and Twitter and wanted to post some messages related to Su Zhe, someone saw the content posted by the Sakura girls who had exchanged Twitter accounts.
"Uh... this." The girl with the nickname 'I'm Chasing Babies in Japan' looked at her companion with a sad face: "What should I do? I always feel like I've lost..."
Although they have been in Japan for quite some time and have a general understanding of the exaggerated language style of Japanese Sakura girls, when they saw that even the sports commentator could casually utter different flattery words on the spot, several "philosophers" began to reflect on themselves one after another - this is really too bad, their praise for Zaizai is not even as good as that of foreign fans who are just fans!
This won't work!
"Let's apply for authorization! We will translate their tweets and repost them on Weibo so that everyone can learn the essence of Ni Hong's rainbow farts! We will strive to be able to blow such professional rainbow farts in the future!"
Holding the mentality of loyal fans who cannot lose, several girls quickly translated the authorized tweets and the series of flattery from commentator Ippei Ishida into Chinese and posted them on Su Zhe's super topic on Weibo. Afterwards, as expected, they received a large number of hahahahas and admiration for Ni Bo's flattery.
On the track and field kingdom forum, many track and field fans were discussing Su Zhe's performance in the morning preliminaries. As long-time track and field fans, they could see that Su Zhe's performance was not good.
[The gunshot reaction is 0.18. This state is obviously not right. When Zhe Shao was in good condition before, his gunshot reaction should be within 0.15. ]
[Maybe he is not used to the international arena yet... This is Zhe Shao's first time competing abroad, and there is also the pressure of breaking 10.10 in the competition. Maybe it is too much psychological pressure that causes his ups and downs.]
【To be honest, 10.16 seconds is a very good result in the preliminary round. But it is obvious that Zhe Shao did not start well and he was too slow to get into shape. If you look at the live broadcast, after reaching the finish line, Zhe Shao was still rushing forward. It is obvious that he really got into shape in the sprint stage... I hope he will not continue to be like this in the next competition.】
[What was said in the previous voting post is right... Zhe Shao has always been at the top, he must not fall into a low ebb at this critical moment...]
Just when everyone was discussing and worrying about Su Zhe's condition, someone forwarded the series of flattering tweets translated by the "philosopher" girls to the forum of the track and field kingdom. Suddenly, the slightly tense atmosphere turned into a burst of hahaha.
Someone quickly raised a soul-searching question under the post.
[Hahahahaha, you guys think, does Zhe Shao himself know about all the flattery that Ni Hong is giving? ]
[If you want to know this question, +1. The Japanese are still so wonderful in their flattery. I really want to see how Zhe Shao reacts when he receives the flattery...]
[Hahaha, big brother above, I advise you to be kind. ]
In this joyful atmosphere, time quickly entered the afternoon.
Su Zhe had no idea how much he was being flattered. After completing the training plan given by his father, he followed the Chinese team to the gymnasium again.
Before the game was about to start, although Su Zhe felt a little tired, the joy of having completely let go of his worries and the eagerness to try from the bottom of his heart had already made him look forward to the next game!
Ye Jun, who was beside him, obviously felt his mood and looked at him with a smile: "How is it? You look good?"
Su Zhe smiled and nodded: "Well, I can't wait!"
After saying this, Su Zhe waved to Ye Jun, and then followed the staff to the preparation area for the 100-meter semi-final.
Soon, a new battle will begin!
