Bab 221: Can't win without training
The athletes in Saudi Arabia did not rest up in the Asian Games Village but instead went to rest in a five-star hotel with a beautiful environment and first-class service in Doha City, which fully shows the status of a local country.
Al Bish is a 400-meter sprinter in Saudi Arabia. As an African naturalized athlete, Al Bish quickly established a foothold in Saudi Arabia with his strong physical talent and became a 400-meter project in Saudi Arabia. He was called "One Brother" on the Internet. And Al Bish once ran in the game within 45 seconds, this result is the top in Asia.
"Tomorrow is about to reach the 400m final! It makes me look forward to it. If tomorrow I can win against Zhang Guan, my name will be spread all over the world!" Al Bish thought silently.
Although Al Bish has lived in Saudi Arabia for some years, the optimistic nature of Africans cannot be changed. Even if sometimes the goal is completely out of reach, it does not affect the African brother's vision of a better future.
At this time, the athletes who had finished the game in the Saudi Arabian track and field team returned to the hotel one after another. Al Bish saw coach Mike Powell in the crowd with a glance.
"I went to a spa and didn't go to the game. I remember that there was a long jump competition this afternoon. I don't know how well Al Shaba and Ben Mazuk jumped. Did they beat Zhang Guan?". Of course, coming closer, when seeing Coach Powell's expression, Al Bish realized that the long jump championship might have flown away.
"It seems that I didn't get the long jump champion. Remember that the contract of coach Powell is 3 + 2, and it will expire this year. This time I lost the long jump champion of the Asian Games. Coach Powell may not get the next two years Salary. "Al Bish thought silently.
At this time, Saudi Arabia's two long jumpers Al Shaba and Ben Mazuk also came over. Bish looked up, Al Saba's expression was normal, but Ben Mazuk was dull, and looked like a mentally retarded child.
"What's wrong with him?" Bish decided that he should step forward to care about Mazuk. Both of them are Kenyan and naturalized athletes in Saudi Arabia. They are from two different events so there is no competition. Their relationship is still very good.
Al Bish steps forward and greets Ben Mazuk with a smile, "Hi Ben, how is the game going today?"
Ben Mazuk still had that dull look, without giving Al Bish any response.
"Ben!" Al Bish shot directly at Ben Mazuk's shoulder.
"Ah!" Mazuk screamed suddenly as if he was frightened by something. He slammed backward but accidentally stepped on the foot of one of the athletes behind. Then Mazuk suddenly lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.
"Ben! Be careful!" Al Bish immediately stepped forward to help Mazuk, and then Mazuk recovered.
"Al, it's you!" Mazuk let out a breath and stood up, but his forehead had rolled out beads of sweat.
"What's wrong with him?" Bish looked at Al Shaba next to him for help.
"Let Ben go back to rest first!" Al Shaba said, using his eyes to signal to talk later.
The two walked to the sofa not far away, and wish they hadn't had the time to ask, Al Shaba said, "In today's game, he was originally in the lead, but Zhang Guan jumped out of 8.7 meters, and succeed in overtaking him. I think he is a bit difficult to accept for a while! "
"What? 8.7 meters? Did I hear it right!" Although Bish is a 400-meter sprinter, he also knows what 8.7 meters means in the long jump event.
Al Shaba told Bish about the process of the long jump, and Bish immediately fell into silence.
"8.7 meters, in my memory, none of the active athletes can jump to 8.7 meters! Zhang Guan's condition is so good, then in tomorrow's 400 meters game, can I still beat him? Zhang Guan's best result of the game was originally about 1.5 seconds away. If it is placed before the finish line, it will be a distance of more than ten meters. I originally thought that Zhang Guan would not in a good state in every game, but now it seems that Zhang Guan's status is very good. I am finished! I will lose tomorrow! "
Before the game started, Al Bish's confidence had been destroyed.
...
The track and field competition of the Asian Games in Doha entered the fourth day. On this day, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 200m preliminaries and rematches, the men's 400m finals, and the men's 1500m finals.
The afternoon time belongs to the prime time for ratings, and the finals are usually scheduled in the afternoon, so the 200m preliminaries are scheduled for the morning.
In addition to Zhang Guan, the strongest runner in the Asian 200m event is undoubtedly the Japanese continuation of Shingo. After all, he can run to nearly 20 seconds. After that, Yang Yao and Gao Pingshi can reach the Olympic A level. Although there are some naturalized athletes in West Asian countries, they do not have an advantage in the 200-meter event.
The result of the preliminaries was not beyond people's expectations. All the athletes who should be promoted were promoted, and there was no upset.
After the lunch break, the Asian Games track and field competition continued. The first event in the afternoon was the men's pole vault final. China chose to win a bronze medal in this event, followed by the women's 100-meter hurdles final. After winning the gold and silver medals, during the men's discus finals and the women's 400m finals, the national team won no medals.
After the women's 400m race, the men's 400m finals immediately began.
Two athletes in Saudi Arabia reached the 400m finals, including Al Bish who has completely lost confidence, in addition to the Japanese Jin Maru Yuan, Bahrain athlete Simpson, Kuwait athlete Al Shamali and others.
Both athletes in Saudi Arabia are African naturalized athletes, Bahraini Simpson is also an African naturalized athlete, Kuwaiti Al Shamali is also an African naturalized athlete, plus the rest of the athlete, our of a total of eight athletes, five of the athletes are African naturalized athletes. There are only three athletes born in Asia.
When it comes to the 400-meter project, black athletes are indeed very advantageous. If Zhang Guan is not there, maybe black athletes will win gold, silver, and bronze medals at the same time. But, the situation is completely different when Zhang Guan comes on stage. There must be no suspense in the gold medal. Other athletes can only work hard to win the silver and bronze medals.
Except for Zhang Guan, no other athlete ran in less than 44.50 seconds. Their best results generally have a gap of more than 1.5 seconds compared to the world record held by Zhang Guan. This can be said to be a difference in strength by several grades. Therefore, Zhang Guan won the championship easily with a score of fewer than 44 seconds. The second-placed Saudi athlete Al Bish and the third-placed Bahrain athlete Simpson all scored within 45.5 seconds.
The men's 400-meter final made many West Asian audiences feel bored. Five West Asian athletes competed, and the all-naturalized corps looked imposing, but the fastest one was also dropped by Zhang Guan. But domestic audiences were also very happy to see Zhang Guan lead the way to win the gold medal, it is exactly what everyone wants.
In the next women's 400-meter hurdles, a Chinese athlete won another gold medal, while the runner-up was a Japanese athlete; in the subsequent men's 400-meter hurdle, the rankings of China and Japan changed places and the Japanese athlete won the championship, and China chose to win a silver medal.
Soon, the time came at 7 pm in Doha time, and the gold medal competition for the last track and field event on this matchday was about to start, which is the men's 1500 meters final.
...
The upcoming men's 1500m finals made Director Ma's mood very complicated at this time.
In the pre-match evaluation made by the Field Management Center, the shorter the distance, the greater the advantage of Zhang Guan, and as the distance becomes longer, the advantage of Zhang Guan gradually decreases, so Zhang Guan is unlikely to win a gold medal in this project.
Before this, Director Ma had negotiated with Zhang Guan. If Zhang Guan could not get all 6 gold medals in the six individual events, he would not be allowed to participate in the middle distance running event. Instead, he would practice sprinting with peace of mind. From this point, Director Ma hopes that Zhang Guan wouldn't be able to get this gold medal, but, as the head coach of the national track and field team, how could he hope that his athletes would lose the game?
Therefore, Director Ma's mind is very contradictory at this time, and he can't tell clearly whether he wants Zhang Guan to win or lose.
Coach Yu seems to have seen the hesitation in Director Ma's mind. He walked quietly and pretended to say something with an exclamation. "The 1500m level of the West Asian athlete should be the world's top, especially Ramz, the champion of the World Championships! And Zhang Guan seems to have not conducted any middle-distance training these days."
"Well?" Director Ma frowned suddenly, carefully pondering the words from the coach.
"What Old Yu said seems quite right. The middle-distance running level of the West Asian countries is indeed the world's top. Recently, Zhang Guan has never practiced middle-distance running. Even the middle-distance running coach assigned to him was dropped by him. It's a complete run with talent! It's not going to be easy to be able to enter the finals. But if he wants to win gold in this project, I'm afraid it is unlikely. There are several opponents in the finals in the World Championships. There are a lot of athletes in the game, plus Ramz, the double champion of the World Championships... " Director Ma thought of this, was relieved, and then shook his head mockingly, "It seems that I was thinking too much, Zhang Guan's expectations are too high. How could Zhang Guan win against Ramz without any training before the game!"
