Zhang Guan steadily followed the penultimate group, saying that it was the penultimate place. He was also in the same group as the first place, and the formation of the athletes was also relatively compact, so the gap between the first and last place is the distance between six and seven meters. This distance is nothing in 1500 meters.
Zhang Guan in front of the penultimate place was a penultimate one who was unwilling and lonely. He obviously felt that he should be faster, so he took advantage of the opportunity to enter the straight and moved to the outer side of the runway and then challenged the front athletes.
The penultimate runner left the innermost runway, and the athlete who was in front of Zhang Guan became another person, and the "follow-and-run" skill was replicate to the rhythm and speed of the athlete in front, so as the athlete in front of Zhang Guan changed to another person, so Zhang Guan's rhythm and speed instantly became that person's rhythm.
"Huh?" Coach Zhou involuntarily made a marvelous voice.
"I'm not mistaken, how did the rhythm change in an instant? And it remains the same as the previous athletes. What's going on?" Coach Zhou looked at the stadium puzzled.
The running of the middle and long-distance race is very important, and it is also a very difficult technique to master. Athletes must first be familiar with and master various sports rhythms, and then have the ability to quickly adjust the rhythm and quickly adapt to the new rhythm. Also, the experience is an indispensable part. Rich experience can allow athletes to judge the front in an instant. The rhythm changes and then adjusts according to the actual situation.
In yesterday's game, Zhang Guan showed first-rate follow-up ability. His rhythm is the same as that of the previous athletes. Even many experienced veterans sigh, but after starting today, Zhang Guan is in the last place, but still showed an excellent rhythm of running.
But at that moment, the original penultimate place started to surpass, and Zhang Guan's rhythm of running and running changed instantly, which surprised Coach Zhou. It is necessary to know that if the rhythm of the athlete in the font changes and the rhythm of the athlete changes afterward, it takes time to adjust, which requires a process.
However, Zhang Guan seems to have no such process at all, instantly changing his rhythm of running, and the result after the change is still so perfect, which is beyond the scope of coach Zhou's thinking.
"What happened just now? How did Zhang Guan change the rhythm of running with an instant? I have been a coach for more than ten years, and I have been an athlete for more than ten years when I was young. I have never heard of this kind of thing." Of course, Coach Zhou is extremely puzzled, and the more he thinks, the more unreasonable it is. At this time, Coach Zhou feels that his nearly thirty years of training and vocational education seem to have been in vain.
"The kid Zhang Guan could not be judged by common sense. He did something abnormal that I couldn't understand. This is normal!" Coach Zhou comforted himself.
...
Perhaps the speed of the front runner was too slow, Tang Baojun used the 500-meter straight track to overtake the first position, and then began to lead.
Although leading will consume more physical energy, some capable athletes will also lead to better maintain their rhythm. After all, Tang Baojun is a national champion athlete. After he took the lead, his speed also improved by a grade. After this, some of the stronger athletes did not have much pressure to run, and those weaker athletes gradually became unable to cope.
Tang Baojun deliberately chose a faster lead rhythm. When the game reached 1000 meters, the distance between the athletes had begun to slowly pull apart. The leader in front was still Tang Baojun, followed by Yang, two of the national championship athletes are very close. The third place is one grade worse than the two. Although he closely followed, it can always be seen that he is a bit reluctant.
At this time, the gap between Zhang Guan and the first place has been widened to about 15 meters.
"Can't keep up with running like this, the next few athletes have already started to keep up with the leader, I have to speed up!"
Zhang Guan wanted to do it, he moved directly to the second lane adjacent to the outside, and then used the next straight run to quickly surpass.
"Zhang Guan started to accelerate!" A cheer came immediately from the scene, and everyone began to look forward to Zhang Guan's surpassing.
Before this, Zhang Guan's physical energy consumption was only half to that of other people, so this time when he surpassed it was extremely easy, his speed-up appeared very fast, and one after another was surpassed seven or eight athletes.
"Oh, he's fast! It's worthy of Zhang Guan!"
"There is another circle? Why are you starting to rush now?"
Finally, Zhang Guan rushed to the fifth position at the end of the straight, and then he merged into the inner runway again and continued to follow.
"He frightened me, it turned out he was just grabbing a position, I thought he would sprint a lap in advance!" A player who was surpassed by Zhang Guan thought to himself.
However, those professionals watching the race began to shake their heads one after another. Although Zhang Guan grabbed fifth place from the last place, in their view, the time point of this transcendence was very bad, and it seemed a little outweighed.
At this time, there is one lap from the end of the game. When the player crosses 1100 meters, which is the finish line, the referee will ring a small bell to remind the player that there is one lap left in the game, and this bell is also regarded as a reminder to start the sprint because when athletes hear this bell, they will all start to improve their rhythm. Everyone needs to exert their remaining physical strength in the last lap.
However, the place where Zhang Guan chose to complete the surpass was at the end of the straight runway. When Zhang Guan cut into the inner runway again, it just reminded that the bell of the last lap just sounded, the athletes started to sprint, and the rhythm will inevitably change. Zhang Guan just finished the fast running, and then immediately increased the rhythm to follow the run. There is a lack of buffer time to adjust in the middle. This fast running and a very high rhythm and the beat is a very physical act. If the athlete has more physical strength, this change in rhythm may likely lead to a direct crash of the game. Therefore, from a professional point of view, Zhang Guan's choice of transcendental nodes is very unscientific.
On the track, Zhang Guan also felt a trace of pressure. At this moment, his physical strength decreased rapidly. This is not a technical problem, but a physiological necessity. However, Zhang Guan's rhythm of running is still very good. Although his physical discomfort caused Zhang Guan to lose a little physical strength, after following the run, his body was adjusted accordingly. In terms of the physical reserve, Zhang Guan still has advantages.
At 1300 meters, the advantage of the leading group has become more obvious. Zhang Guan and the other six people are in the leading group and are very close to each other. According to normal judgment, the final champion will be produced among these six people.
At 1400 meters, another person from the leading group gradually fell behind, and at the same time, the cheering cheers on the court became more and more fierce.
"Zhang Guan! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on!"
"Zhang Guan! Rush up and take the championship!"
The audience was full of cheering for Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's high popularity was reflected. The scene was all cheering for Zhang Guan. As for other athletes, probably only their relatives and friends would cheer them.
Coming into the final 100 meters, the leading group athletes are ready to start the final sprint, especially the first three people. The competition between them is very fierce. All three hope to occupy a better sprint position.
"1500 meters consumes physical strength, but the remaining physical strength should still be able to support the last 100 meters of a sprint." Zhang Guan thought in silence, and he did not ignore the top three who were fiercely fighting for position but directly moved to the outside, Zhang Guan even gave up the second track to avoid interference from others, but chose to enter the third track.
"Zhang Guan is about to start sprinting! Will it be as fast as yesterday?"
Everyone stretched their necks and looked. Director Ma and Coach Yu on the podium stood up directly.
In yesterday's game, Zhang Guan's most impressive thing was not that the long jump qualifying match when he skipped the eight-meter mark, but the final and amazing sprint speed in the 800-meter preliminaries. Athletes who jumped more than eight meters can be a large handful, but the final sprint in the 800 meters, the only one in the world who could do that was Zhang Guan. After the game, many coaches and athletes have concluded after discussion, that Zhang Guan's physical strength is far more than ordinary people.
And today, whether Zhang Guan can replicate yesterday's game again and create a surprising speed in the 1500-meter sprint is what everyone is most concerned about.
Zhang Guan will not let everyone down.
After entering the straight runway, Zhang Guan started to sprint, and he had already caught up with the two national champions Tang Baojun and Yang Anyue in the first 20 meters. After 10 meters, Zhang Guan was already in the first position, and then under the speed gap, Zhang Guan's leading advantage was growing.
Tang Baojun and Yang Anyue, the two world champions, looked helplessly at Zhang Guan's back. They had tried their best and their physical strength was about to run out. In the face of Zhang Guan's sprinting speed, both of them never even thought of overtaking.
"Zhang Guan! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on!" The cheering crowds on the scene are getting louder at this moment. Zhang Guan is leading, which is obviously what the audience wants to see the most.
Coach Yu on the rostrum took a sigh of relief, "Sure enough! It's 1400 meters, and there is still so much physical reserve. Zhang Guan's sprint today is slower than yesterday's 800-meter sprint. But far more than other athletes. Even for a world-class top athlete, it is impossible to run so fast in the final sprint of 1500 meters!"
Later, Coach Yu glanced at Director Ma quietly but found that Director Ma's mouth was upturned and was smiling.
"Wouldn't he want Zhang Guan to participate in the middle-distance run of the Asian Games!" Yu Gui thought humbly.
...
Zhang Guan was the first to cross the finish line with a score of 3 minutes 41.10 seconds. According to the preliminaries, this is a very good result, which has reached the level of a national sportsman. If it was two seconds faster, it would have reached the Olympic B standard.
At present, the Olympic A standard of 1500 meters is 3 minutes and 36.60 seconds, and the Olympic B standard is 3 minutes and 39 seconds. For Chinese athletes, the Olympic B standard is a great achievement.
...
Just as the audience stood up and cheered for Zhang Guan, besides Coach Zhou, a sturdy man looked at Zhang Guan's achievements, his eyes full of high fighting spirit.
He is Zhang Guan's teammate in the provincial team, the national record holder of 1500 meters running-Dou Zhao.
