Chapter 142: 400m debut
After Zhang Guan ended the call with Sharapova, it was already past eleven at night.
At this time, Sharapova is at home in the United States. The WTA year-end final will be held in Los Angeles on November 7th. This is the final stop of the WTA year-round event. Zhang Guan also agreed with Sharapova to go to America to watch her game.
Zhang Guan then lay in bed but did not fall asleep for a long time.
"The world record is 43 seconds and 18 hours! Johnson, the metamorphosis, was able to run into this result. Even if I am in full condition now, I may not even be able to achieve this result with running shoes. It may take up to two or three years later for me to break it. Someone will have a chance to break this record!" Zhang Guan closed his eyes and then remembered the Asian record of 44.56 seconds.
"For an Asian record, the use of potions seems to be not worth it! After all, there will be several months of no match after the game so the use of potions is too wasteful. In my normal state, I should try to run into 45.50 seconds. There are two skills in the skill column, I have long wanted to learn and try those two skills."
Zhang Guan entered the system and found the skill in the skill bar.
[Body flexibility increases body flexibility]: Skill effects vary with time, and the intensity of physical training, age, height, and weight. This is a passive skill. It is similar to the previous two skills of physical fitness and fitness. Is this skill useful? In theory, all sports require flexibility in the body. Let's learn it first since only 3 skill points are needed."
Zhang Guan continued to look at it, and behind the "body flexibility" skill was "body coordination".
"This skill should also be useful. It seems to be a skill that all sports can enjoy together. Let's learn two skills together!" Zhang Guan spent 6 skill points and learned "body flexibility" and "body coordination".
"I don't know if these two skills will bring me some help, even if the speed is slightly faster it will be good." Zhang Guan silently muttered, and then gradually fell asleep.
...
The next day.
"The next event starting would be the men's 400m sprint race!"
With the weird shouting of DJs on the court, everyone's attention was attracted to the track and field track.
"Kanmaru Yuzo, Sato Jun, come on! The next game will be a game where you become a Japanese hero! You will defeat Zhang Guan, and you will take the championship runner-up!" Kobayashi said firmly, "China 's 400-meter sprint, whether it's the coach's training level or the athlete's technical level, has remained in the last century, and we are using the most advanced training methods from Europe and America. What you have is the most advanced technique in Europe and America! Our rhythm is mastered, and our way of running is already in line with the United States, so you will win."
"The coach please rest assured that on the 400-meter track, I will not be afraid of any Asian player!" The young Kanmaru Yuzotook the lead in stating.
"We will win!" Sato Jun followed.
"Very good! Warriors of the Japanese track and field team, let's fight!" Kobayashi was very excited. He patted the shoulders of the two and pushed them onto the track.
At this moment, whether it is Kobayashi Jinghe or Guo Yejin, they are full of confidence. Their self-confidence comes from their knowledge of the 400-meter dash. In this most difficult sprint event, good training is required to achieve results, and it takes more time to accumulate. In the 400-meter project, China does not have a first-class coach, and Zhang Guan has no time to accumulate.
"Kanmaru Yuzo, come on!" "Senior Sato, come on!" The Japanese team kept cheering for Kanmaru Yuzo and Sato Jun. The word "Come on" is shouted in Japanese and is understood by everyone. Even Director Ma and Coach Yu can understand it.
Director Ma has personally seen Zhang Guan's 400-meter run for 45 seconds. He still doesn't quite understand why Zhang Guan still has so much physical strength to sprint in the end. However, he knew that the 45-second result was enough to make China proud in the Asia 400-meter project.
Although the Asian record for the 400-meter sprint is 44.56 seconds, this record has been dust-proof for 17 years. The 400-meter athletes of that era were generally stronger, and even Konojin once ran out of 44.78 seconds. Even in West Asia where the 400-meter sprint is very strong, only the top 400-meter athlete can run to the Olympic A mark, and running within 45 seconds is already a myth for Asian athletes.
Director Ma glanced disdainfully at Kobayashi, secretly saying, "Don't look so proud right now, you will look good in a moment!"
...
"On your marks..."
The voice of the starter made the scene very quiet, and the audience held their breaths, waiting for the sound of the gun to start.
"Set!" "Boom!"
The athletes started to run, and at the same time, a deafening cry broke out in the audience.
"Huh?" Zhang Guan felt that his body was slightly different. The pace he took, the swinging arms, the leaning body in the curve, every movement made Zhang Guan feel smoother.
"It feels much better than before. It seems that the two skills I learned yesterday are still very useful." Zhang Guan quickly entered the game.
The human body runs at a high speed in a curve. The body needs to be tilted at the same time. At the same time, it needs to adjust the balance through the swing of the two arms. More importantly, the athlete must cut the track when running inside the curve, so every time an athlete takes a step, they are adjusting. As long as it is an adjustment during exercise, there is a requirement for the coordination and flexibility of the body. Although this requirement does not meet the perversion of gymnastics or diving athletes, it is certain that the better the coordination and flexibility of the body, the stronger the ability to adjust during exercise.
"Zhang Guan looks very smooth today! The movement is much smoother than usual, and it looks good." Yu Gui, who was watching the game, secretly commented, and then peeped at the Japanese team coach who he could not see far away.
Kobayashi's expression is still calm, but there is still a sense of tension in his eyes. "Zhang Guan's speed is very fast! If we talk about speed alone, it is similar to the top players in the world." Kobayashi Jinghe made a judgment.
Zhang Guan's first 100 meters are faster than other Asian athletes. After all, the speed is dominant, so his first 100 meters is the 11.5-second line, reaching the top of the world's top athletes 100 meters level. For many Asian athletes, this number requires them to run a little faster to be able to do so.
In the current 400-meter running method, few people rush quickly in front. Everyone has plenty of physical strength in the first corner, so even if you choose to sprint in the first 100 meters, you will not get too much lead. The advantage is to allow the body to enter the rhythm of the game as soon as possible. This is also the case after the start everyone's speed is not that different.
But the next straight path will change.
"To enter the straight, Zhang Guan should start to speed up!" Kobayashi thought quietly. For the first straight, they should rush, which is the traditional practice of Asian athletes.
Next, the athlete entered the straight, and Sato Jun took the lead in accelerating.
Sato Jun still uses the traditional Asian running style, that is, he starts to accelerate after entering the straight. He is older and it is more difficult to change the running style. At this time, everyone can see that the frequency of Sato's stride began to accelerate.
Kanmaru Yuzo is not the same. He didn't speed up but chose to expand each step as much as possible at the original pace frequency.
Increasing the stride distance while still maintaining the original stride frequency is a technique in high-speed sports. The action points of this technique are not difficult to master, but the key is the subsequent physical distribution. Kanmaru Yuzo is only slightly increasing the distance of the step, and the speed help is not exaggerated. After all, Kanmaru Yuzo is not a top European and American player. Even if he learns how to run, he can only be regarded as a cat compared to a tiger. The gap between them and European and American players is still very large.
However, Zhang Guan did not choose the traditional Asian running method. After entering the first straight, he did not speed up but ran at the original rhythm.
"Uh? Didn't you mention the rhythm? I didn't think he was using the European and American way of running! Is he planning to speed up in the middle of the next corner?" Kobayashi frowned but found that Zhang Guan's distance did not expand much.
"Zhang Guan will not increase his pace in the straights! Sure enough, the training level of these Chinese is too poor. Although he adopted the European and American way of running, he only got his form but not the techniques, so Zhang Guan did not master enough good techniques! We have the advantage!" Kobayashi Jinghe was immediately excited.
In the straight track, Zhang Guan's rhythm did not change, and there was no acceleration sprint, but fortunately, Zhang Guan's original speed was not slow, and for the second 100 meters he could still run into 11 seconds. In Asia, this speed is not bad. Many second-rate Asian players even choose to sprint to run for the 11 seconds in this period.
