Chương 123: Put on your shoes and raise your level
The second leg of the Golden League took place in Rome. Since it is only a week away from the first leg of Paris, the competitors have not changed much from the first leg.
Powell was standing in the preparation area, his eyes were closed, but he was thinking about what the coach said to himself not long ago.
"Did you forget your dream? You want to be the world's first, not the world's second! Now that you have not completed your dream, you are only one step away from the success of your dream, do you want to give up now? What? "
"Think about it, since you were a child, you have embarked on this path. Over the years, you have been training hard, running every day from early morning to early evening, and running non-stop. Why on earth? Now, are you willing to give up like this? "
"Think about your mother, think about your family, think about your previous life, precisely because of you, they can now use the refrigerator and air conditioner, they can eat meat with every meal, they can enjoy the best in Jamaica! You are fighting not just for yourself, but for your family! Do you want them to go back to the past? Living in a crowded room, enduring the scorching heat, eating potatoes, and yellow yam?"
"You have to remember that this is competitive sports! Competitive sports will only remember the winner, who is the first! As for the second place, who will care? So, don't wish to be the second, you have to compete to be the first!"
"Since you were a teenager, you have shown extraordinary talents. You walked step by step, entered the national team, received regular training, and then went to the world's stadium. Every step of your progress is stepping on countless athletes. Every shoulder of the national team athletes who entered Jamaica needs to defeat hundreds of thousands or even millions of their peers. You have crossed the bodies of countless opponents to have today! Now, you need to be the same as usual. Instead of being the corpse that was crossed by someone!"
"Think about it, not only your enemies but also your buddies among the people you defeated. Think about the buddies you trained with as a child! Why are they still running? Where are they now? What? If you are lucky, you might be able to find a part-time job in the city. Perhaps you can rely on Boeotian in this village to work hard. If you are less lucky, you may be curled up in the corner of the slum, enduring hunger and disease! And their children, maybe they will repeat the life of your parents, do you want your child to be like that in the future?"
"You have to understand that you are a warrior, and you have to fight continuously! If you are in front of a high mountain, then you have to cross it! If you are in front of a big river, you have to swim over it! Even if you are in front of a mountain of fire, you have to break through, you have to move forward, you can only move forward, you have no escape route!"
Powell took a deep breath, the coach's words continued to wander in his mind, constantly inspiring Powell, at this moment, Powell rekindled his confidence, he will challenge Zhang Guan again!
"I want to defeat Zhang Guan!"
...
Zhang Guan finally found Sharapova in the stands, which made him feel relieved. Then he looked at Powell, who was not that far away, and immediately felt the strong intention of the opponent.
"Powell seems very excited and looks good! By the way, he didn't participate in the Lausanne race of the IAAF Super Grand Prix. He didn't run as we did. The competitive state should be stronger than us!" He silently thought.
Affected by the intensive schedule and continuous days of running, Liu Feiren did not maintain the good state he had at Lausanne when he ran out of 13.24 seconds. In the just-ended game, he won the runner-up. Zhang Guan also suffered some impacts. The competitive state declined rapidly, which forced Zhang Guan to use two bottles of state recovery potion again before the game.
But the good news is that Zhang Guan now has running shoes.
During the Lausanne race, Zhang Guan had already equipped running shoes in the system. He was also experimenting with the performance of running shoes, so he did not do his best in the competition. After equipping running shoes, he pedals the ground more easily, that is to say, he can gain more kinetic energy when pedaling the ground according to the original strength, and this will be directly reflected in the speed.
Another point is the sports control after equipped with running shoes, Zhang Guan feels that the body's motion control is stronger, and this is where Zhang Guan is more concerned and happy about.
A high-level sprint is not just a no-brainer rush forward, to the world's top-level contest, the body's motor control is even more important than the competitive state of the game. Although the 100-meter sprint only has a short time of ten seconds, excellent athletes can constantly adjust their rhythm during these ten seconds. In the game, the rhythm and state may not be very good at the beginning of the run. With the adjustments in the game, the best state and rhythm have been found after running one-third or half, which is the top athletes exercise control, and this is the most difficult part for athletes to master.
Like in the post-match interviews of many top athletes, the topic of adjusting the rhythm in the game is always mentioned. The average person may not understand it. The athletes have to run for a total of ten seconds and during that time what rhythm can be adjusted. What came out was that the athletes were running all the time. As for the adjustment of the rhythm, it was not seen at all. But in fact, every step an athlete takes is likely to be adjusted. This adjustment requires not only the body's reaction, but also the brain's continuous analysis of his situation and the opponent's condition, and adjustment of the body. All of these instructions are made in a very short time. If you want to adjust for a second or two, after the body reacts, the game may be over. Therefore, the top athletes in the world must not have a stupid mind. Therefore, sports are not only a test of the body, but also the IQ of the athletes.
At this moment, Zhang Guan had a more powerful level of motion control, so he decided to change the world record again.
...
After a lapse of one week, Powell once again won the opportunity to challenge Zhang Guan.
Coach Suerebo stood in front of Powell and said, "Going to Lausanne to participate in the competition will consume a lot of Zhang Guan's energy, and I heard that on the night he arrived in Rome, their plane was not only late, but the rooms at the hotel were also all full, they should have experienced a runaround. You see Liu Feiren, his time today is 0.2 seconds slower than a week ago, which shows that their status is not as good as a week ago, which is an opportunity for us! So, Asafa, look at me."
Suerebo and Powell faced each other, Suerebo said solemnly, "Asafa, I believe you, you can beat Zhang Guan, you are the strongest sprinter in the world!"
"Yes, I can do it!" Powell said excitedly.
"Okay, now play, run, use all your strength, and defeat him!" Suerebo said as he pushed Powell towards the track.
...
"How does it feel?" Yu Gui asked when he took the jacket that Zhang Guan took off.
"There should be no problem in getting a championship!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Coach Yu thought that Zhang Guan was comforting himself, so he said, "Just try your best to run, don't bear the burden."
"Relax, I came for one million gold. If I lost, the gold would be gone." Zhang Guan said as he walked onto the field.
...
Italy is also a sports power, and the audience in Rome seems to be more enthusiastic than the audience in Paris. From the moment the athletes began to prepare on the runway, the cheers and shouts of the audience have not stopped. Perhaps many of the audience are serious fans, so they have liked to use their voices to cheer for athletes for a long time.
For sprinters, they like this atmosphere very much. The audience's cry can make the athletes feel passion and excitement, which can make the athlete's blood boil and can make the athletes enter the state earlier.
For sprinting, all you need is passion and excitement and enthusiasm!
A hundred meters trapeze battle, the most exciting project in track and field, finally began in this boiling.
Zhang Guan looked at Powell, not far away. He knew that the best way to defeat a person was to defeat him mentally.
"A week ago, I probably needed to fill the state to be able to break the world record, but now that I have shoes, even if the state is not full, I should be able to break the world record!" Zhang Guan thought to himself.
When the long-lost gunshot sounded, the athletes started, and they wished to turn themselves into a shell.
The first thirty meters, an accelerated process, a starting process. For the 100-meter race, this distance is difficult to open the gap which is a lot like a long-sealed wine that has been uncovered, the fragrance inside slowly disperses, and the drinkers are looking forward to the taste of the wine. This is a waiting process, what exactly is the taste of this wine, only after the entrance, will you know the taste.
From 30 meters to 50 meters, a process of stalemate, the strong will stand out, and the weak will show a decline.
Fifty meters later, the contest between the strong players began, just like the last contest between Zhang Guan and Powell. From the 50 meters until the 80 meters, Zhang Guan laid his advantage.
But today's situation is somewhat different. Fifty meters away, Zhang Guan already has some advantages. This advantage is not much, but it is enough to shock Powell.
Powell has an extremely rich game experience. He knows that there are two possibilities for this kind of situation. The first is that the athletes have different states. For example, his game condition is very poor and Zhang Guan's game condition is very good, so just after half of the schedule, Zhang Guan can take the lead.
However, Powell feels that his condition is pretty good today. Although it is not as good as the day that ran out of 9.77 seconds, it is not much worse than the previous stop. Even if Zhang Guan's condition is good enough, it will not be so short within this distance. So the possibility of state differences can be ruled out.
Then there is only the second possibility: Zhang Guan is much stronger than himself.
This is a contest of different levels!
