Chapter 225: Zhang Guan's weakness?
Ramz crossed the finish line for the second time. He didn't even look at his results. He fell to the ground in pain, because he knew he had lost to Zhang Guan at the last moment of the game.
Immediately afterward, the third Qatar athlete, Bashar Najim, who crossed the finish line, was disappointed. He came in with excitement but failed to win. Although the audience at the scene still gave him warm applause, this applause in Najim's ears, it turned into a spur, making Najim feel complacent.
"In the final sprint stage just now, Ramz had already exhausted the last bit of strength. He insisted on reaching the end with his willpower! My tactics were wrong today, and I should haven follow behind Ramz. Yes, I am at home. I have the audience to cheer for me. If I compete with willpower, I will not lose to Rams. This championship should be mine!" Najim sighed reluctantly, "there are regrets in my heart, but at this time, what is the use of regret?"
"Look at my results first!" Ramz looked up at the scoreboard.
"This is? The Asian record! Both are!" Najim suddenly froze.
The scoreboard already shows the performance of the athletes. Ramz's final score is 3 minutes 29.10 seconds, and the current Asian record is 3 minutes 29.14 seconds. That means Ramz has set a new Asian record!
But this is not enough for Ramz to win, because Zhang Guan successfully ran within 3 minutes and 29 seconds, and his final score was 3 minutes, 28.88 seconds. Because Zhang Guan ran out of better beating results first, Ramz's Asian record did not count.
In the Asian Games, every Asian record produced is sensational. Athletes can get countless praises. They can all enjoy the satisfaction brought by honor. But Ramz may not any of this. His Asian record is destined to be overshadowed by Zhang Guan's bright light.
Among the audience at the scene, the applause was far greater than the cheers. Applause is a congratulation to the winner, and the lack of cheers is because West Asia has lost its traditional strong championship. But in the live hall of CCTV, it was full of excited shouts from Director Sun.
The situation of the narrator is better. After all, it is a professional sports commentary, with excellent professional qualities and commentary experience, so after a short excitement, he quickly adjusted his emotions; but there is no need for such professional quality, and he is just a guest, and he does not have to worry about the problem of losing his job if he is gaffe on the show, so he unbridledly vents his excitement.
...
"Why is he breaking the record again?" Director Ma felt a feeling of being empty.
Director Ma didn't want Zhang Guan to win before the game. He felt that Zhang Guan wouldn't even get a medal. A 1500-meter training was not conducted before the game, to just stand on the 1500-meter field, the opponent is the world's top 1500-meter athlete, how can you get good results? Even in the first two minutes or more of the game, Director Ma still thought so.
But in the last lap, when Zhang Guan followed Ramz, Director Ma only realized that Zhang Guan could win the championship. But Director Ma never thought about the Asian record.
Although Zhang Guan was the first in the domestic trials and broke the national record, the result was only 3 minutes, 35 seconds, and 85. It is still far from the Asian record. Today Zhang Guan ran out of a score of 3 minutes and 28.88 seconds which is equivalent to raising the's best score by seven seconds. Within three months, without any professional training in middle distance running, the score is improved by seven seconds, which once again exceeded Director Ma's cognition.
"How could there be such a thing? Other people's great performance based on training. But Zhang Guan is better, his performance has been improved without training! What is the reasoning behind this! This is too shameful!" Director Ma has a variety of emotions in his hearts, and then, Director Ma remembered tomorrow's 800 meters final.
"1500m should be Zhang Guan's weakest project! But this has won the championship, and he broke the Asian record. So on the 800m project, will Zhang Guan win another championship? If Zhang Guan wins the 800m championship, wouldn't he get six individual gold medals?"
Director Ma suddenly felt a little guilty and murmured involuntarily, "I thought he couldn't get six gold medals, it would be nice to add another gold medal for the relay race..."
...
Ramz was still lying on the ground. Coach Virgil stepped forward nervously. At the same time, the medical staff had also gathered around them. They were worried about what happened to Ramz's body.
In the 400-meter race, the athletes were taken directly to the hospital after the run. This is more common in middle- and long-distance races. Sometimes the athletes will feel uncomfortable during the half of the race and then be sent to the hospital for examination.
However, Ramz's heartbeat and breathing are normal. He just experienced a high-intensity game and psychological pressure, and suddenly relaxed due to the release of power. He took a break and then with the help of Coach Virgil and the medical staff, he stood up.
"Sorry, coach, I still lost," Ramz said.
However, Coach Virgil showed satisfaction, and then said, "You have done a good job, you have broken the Asian record, you have surpassed yourself."
"But I still lost to Zhang Guan..." Ramz whispered.
"It's just that Zhang Guan's luck is better today," Virgil said as he concealed the worry in his eyes.
...
Joseph Carmel was sitting in front of the TV. On the TV screen, Zhang Guan and Ramz were still 20 meters away from the finish line.
Carmel glanced at the timer in the lower right corner of the screen, "The results are so good, can you break the Asian record?"
When Carmel's gaze moved from the timer in the lower right corner of the screen to the athlete, Zhang Guan had already started to accelerate.
"Zhang Guan can still accelerate!" At this moment, Carmel knew that the overall situation was set, and with this simple acceleration, Zhang Guan would get the 1500-meter gold medal, and Ramz could only get runner-up.
Immediately afterward, the timing in the lower right corner showed Zhang Guan's final score, 3 minutes 28.88 seconds, a new world record.
"Calm down, calm down, I must calm down..." Carmel reminded himself constantly, but in his mind, he continued to see the speed of Zhang Guan in the last twenty meters.
"Why is it like this? His speed has dropped before, which shows that he has reached the limit, why can he increase the speed again?" Carmel couldn't figure it out.
"Zhang Guan has broken the Asian record of 1500 meters. His middle distance running strength is so strong. What should I do in the 800 meters final tomorrow? I may not be able to win! If I can't even win an Asian Games, what kind of dream is the world championship? I must win!" Carmel decided to look back at this game.
"I have to find Zhang Guan's weakness!"
...
After experiencing the 1500m race, Zhang Guan was also exhausted, but immediately followed by a 200m rematch, Zhang Guan must also participate.
At this time Zhang Guan can feel that his muscles were still very sore, and it may take a long time to recover, but the 200-meter rematch is about to start. Zhang Guan does not have much time to rest, he only can forcibly enter the game to participate in the game.
Fortunately, the 200m rematch is the same as the 100m rematch. It is divided into three groups for competition, and they went from 24 to 16. The top five of the three groups and the sixth with the best score can be promoted, the competition pressure is much smaller.
The level of athletes in the semi-finals is also low. Generally, there are only two or three strong athletes in the same group. The others are all "participation-focused" athletes. This type of athlete is still very easy to beat, so the promotion is still not a problem.
After the 200-meter rematch, Zhang Guan's competition on that day also ended. After attending the final 1500-meter award ceremony, he hurried back to the Asian Games Village by car. Because Zhang Guan still has competitions to participate in the next morning, he must take the time to rest.
...
It was late at night, but Coach Virgil still had no rest. He sat in front of the TV and watched the video of the 1500m final over and over again.
"Zhang Guan's rhythm with running is perfect! There are no flaws at all." Coach Virgil couldn't help but show Zhang Guan's ability to change the rhythm suddenly, and he could not help shaking his head secretly.
"In terms of running, Zhang Guan seems to be able to adapt to various rhythms. This is simply impeccable. It seems impossible to find a breakthrough from here. In terms of speed, Zhang Guan is the best, especially the sprint. But as the fastest person in the world, I think no one can match him in this aspect!"
"Perfect rhythm of running, strong sprint ability, Zhang Guan has these two... impossible, there can be no perfect athletes in the world, athletes will have weaknesses, so Zhang Guan must also have weaknesses, just I haven't discovered it yet. But what is Zhang Guan's weakness?" Virgil closed his eyes and thought carefully.
On the TV came the sound of the speaker, "The last lap left before the end of the game, Ramz started to speed up! Zhang Guan followed closely..."
"Wait!" Virgil opened his eyes sharply and replayed the scene just now.
Coach Virgil's kept thinking very fast. He connected the broken clues in his mind and finally found the clue.
"I found it, this is it! I found Zhang Guan's weakness!" Coach Vigil was excited.
