Chapter 539: King Shu's Training Methods
But Su Wen didn't dare to run like this with a few old princes, these days, Su Wen has also received some training.
Naturally, I understand that if you rush too hard at the beginning, you can't last long.
So, at the beginning, Su Wen could only come at his own pace.
Su Wen still has a doubt in his heart, these old princes rushed so fiercely at the beginning, can they really persevere?
Sure enough, after two laps, the two old princes slowed down and gasped for breath.
It turns out that these princes are actually not much better than themselves in running!
Seeing this scene, Su Wen finally put his mind at ease.
At the same time, the strength of this batch of players gave Su Wen confidence in his heart.
Gradually, Su Wen began to increase his speed, while the speed of several old princes gradually slowed down.
In the end, Su Wen easily surpassed several national princes and occupied the first position.
Seeing that someone surpassed him, Cheng Yanjin and a few other old goods, he was naturally unconvinced.
Shake off her feet and rub behind to chase after her.
It didn't take long for them to catch up.
But when they caught up, they were also tired and had no strength at all, holding their knees, snorting and panting.
So, in this preselection, Su Wen easily achieved the first result.
And next time, it's the semi-finals.
If you can still stand out in the semi-finals, you can enter the finals.
After the selection of this qualifier, Su Wen's confidence has increased a lot.
Finals, I'm coming!
After the game, Cheng Yanjin and a group of old guys were very annoyed.
I thought that these competitions still need to find people in the whole Datang?
Their group of veterans came out and covered all the competitions.
There is no need to even compete in the game, just send them to the field to compete with the other fifteen countries.
But the reality is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to them!
My face is swollen, it hurts!
And in the other qualifiers that followed, they also lost all kinds of things.
This made a group of veterans who thought highly of themselves feel a lot of fire in their hearts.
Fortunately, eventually, they signed up for the Shinkeju Contest.
Under the promotion of Li Su, Keju has been a very popular sport in the entire Datang in recent years.
Because the barrier to entry in this industry is very low.
As long as there is a keju, a small field, twenty or so people can play.
And I have to say that this sport is really a very passionate, very exciting, very exciting and enjoyable game.
Let people play passionately, heartily, and can't stop.
A group of veterans such as Cheng Yanjin also formed a football team, and the name is called the Killing God Group.
In fact, there is no problem with this name.
Because when they were young, they fought in all directions, and they were indeed a group of killing gods.
And their god-killing combination, in some football matches in Chang'an City and nearby, it was really a big kill, invincible.
Therefore, although Cheng Yanjin was ashamed of the qualifiers of other events, they were still very confident in the new Keju competition.
During this time, the teams of the other fifteen countries have begun to leave, and I believe that they will be able to arrive in Yizhou in less than a month.
And during this period of time in the qualifiers, Li Su has also been watching.
However, for the qualifiers, Li Su can really be described as unbearable to look at directly.
Let's just say the 100-meter and 400-meter running races, they start standing when they start, can you believe it?
Well, well, in fact, in later generations, when the 100-meter sprint race first began, it seemed that they all started from standing.
It wasn't until later that some people achieved good results with a squat start, and slowly, everyone changed to a squat start.
There is also a high jump competition, which is really a high jump!
They all jump upright with their legs, and no one takes the back-to-back high jump at all.
How high can you jump like this?
But don't say it, the master is in the folk!
In the qualifiers, there was one of the fiercest jumps, actually jumping to a height of two meters.
This made Li Su also frightened.
This height, in later generations, I am afraid that it has already broken the world record, and it has exceeded one piece, right?
I have to say that in terms of physical fitness, some people in ancient times are really better than modern ones.
But what is the height of two meters compared to the back-to-back jump?
If it were placed in the future generations, this achievement would not even be able to enter the threshold of the Olympic Games.
As for the other qualifiers, except for archery and martial arts, they are also lackluster, and there is a lot of room for improvement.
Of course, these can be solved with a short period of training, so Li Su is not in a hurry.
And Li Su firmly believes that even Datang is like this, and the other fifteen countries are afraid that it is even more so.
During the qualifiers, visitors entered the stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people.
And the selection of the new Kemari competition has already begun.
Speaking of which, the selection of the Kemari competition is the slowest.
Because of the limitations of the venue, it can only be compared one game at a time.
You can't pre-qualify like running or something, you can race a dozen people on a track.
Li Su had to open five more Keju fields outside Yizhou New Town for pre-selection.
There are a total of six Keju fields, and the selection is carried out non-stop for ten hours a day, which is quite fast.
A game is an hour and a half, and six games can be played in a day.
Six playing venues are thirty-six.
The qualifiers are a single knockout round, so the speed of the process is also very fast.
It took six days for the first round of eliminations to end, leaving two hundred and forty teams.
In the first round of elimination, the god-killing team composed of veterans such as Cheng Yanjin won with a score of 38 to 15.
This victory also allowed Cheng Yanjin and other veterans to regain their self-confidence.
It turns out that their strength has always been in Keju, and their strength was used in the wrong place before.
And then, the second round of qualifiers began.
The second round of qualifiers, which is still the knockout round, can be completed this time in just one hundred and twenty games, and it takes less than four days.
At this time, the top three in other projects have all competed.
This is the top three in Datang in the country, and every award is awarded by Li Su himself.
The award ceremony attracted countless onlookers.
Among these award-winning contestants, Li Su saw a most special existence.
This person is Su Wen.
He is the only one to have won three events alone.
Su Wen's talent in running is indeed very terrifying, but it can be said that he was born to run.
Coupled with the professional training in the future, his running ability has been fully developed.
Originally, Su Wen was worried that he won the championship of three running events alone, and he was afraid that he would not be given so much, and it would be good to be able to give a reward, after all, he took it alone.
Although half a million dollars, it is already a lot.
But wanting to miss out on a million dollars, Su Wen was still quite disappointed in his heart.
But it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary.
The champion of three events, three gold medals, and a reward of 1.5 million yuan were distributed to him.
Of course, because the amount of money is too large, of course, it is impossible to directly carry a large amount of money to the spot and distribute it.
The King of Shu issued on the spot was all paper money.
But now the banknotes have spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Datang money has spread all over Datang.
The five surnames and seven hopes had the courage to make a move on the shops of the Zhonghua Commercial Bank, but if they lent them another guts, they did not dare to make a move on Datang Qianzhuang.
Because of this Tang Qian Village, standing behind it is not only the King of Shu, but also the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.
With these banknotes, as long as they are in Datang, they can be consumed directly.
Even in neighboring countries such as Tubo and Tuyuhun, some shops recognize Datang's banknotes.
Because of these neighboring countries, many businessmen do business in Datang.
Their shops recognize the banknotes of the Tang Dynasty.
And in these countries, there is also the problem of inconvenient carrying of money.
And none of the merchants in their country have the ability to make paper money.
Therefore, Datang banknotes have slowly begun to be used in their countries.
The popularity of paper money has greatly alleviated the problem of the shortage of Datang coins.
Because banknotes are very convenient, in addition to those change, everyone is now accustomed to going out with banknotes.
Who would go out with a big bag of money on their backs?
This problem, which has plagued Li Shimin and those household officials for many years, was easily solved by the King of Shu.
Of course, it's not without problems.
After all, these banknotes are not issued by the state, but by Datang Qianzhuang.
At the same time, banknotes are not issued without restrictions.
It's about how many copper coins the customer deposits, plus how many banknotes they come to exchange for the copper coins, so that they can print how much.
In fact, the amount of banknotes is still affected by the amount of copper coins.
The emergence of paper money is just to facilitate the people and temporarily cover up the problem of the lack of copper coins.
In fact, the current situation of Datang's lack of money still exists.
Therefore, in recent years, Li Shimin has also been actively looking for silver mines and actively mining.
At present, a lot of extracted silver nuggets have been hoarded.
It's just that the quantity is still too small to be promoted as a major currency for the time being.
……
After the rewards are distributed, the other athletes who do not make the ranking can go home.
Only the top two athletes will be eligible to participate in the 16-nation games.
And Li Su gathered everyone together for intensive training.
Of course, the main ones are running, high jump, long jump, weightlifting, iron ball and javelin.
As for equestrian, juju, archery, and martial arts, Li Su himself doesn't understand it, and it is difficult to give them advice, just let them train on their own.
In several events such as running, because the posture of the runners is extremely irregular, through short-term training, the performance can be greatly improved.
Therefore, these projects are the focus of Li Su's intensive training.
First up is the running event, where Li will bring together the top two finishers in the 100m and 400m races.
Well, in fact, there are three people in total, because Su Wen won the first place in these two projects at the same time.
Li Su took them to the track and ordered someone to install the running aids for running.
"There are less than 20 days left before the 16-nation Games. And during this time, in addition to maintaining basic training and maintaining sufficient physical function, you are training to start. ”
"Your explosiveness and stamina are good, but when it comes to the start, it's a mess! Next, this king wants to teach you the best way to start, that is, squat start! Come on, get on the props! ”
Under Li Su's order, someone soon sent the runner up and placed it at the back of the starting point of the runway.
The three people, led by Su Wen, looked at the runner, and their eyes couldn't help but show a blank look.
And Li Su pointed to the runner and said, "See? That's the runner, and when you start running, you need to take that position. ”
With that, Li Su squatted down, his left foot lungeed forward, and his right foot pressed on the runner.
"When I hear the preparatory order, my whole body tenses and is ready to pop out at any time. When you hear the command to start, you hit the runner with your right foot and explode with all your might, ejecting your body. ”
After that, Li Su demonstrated a starting action for them.
"This is the starting movement that this king wants to teach you, and then, you all will demonstrate."
Regarding the starting action that the king of Shu wanted to teach them, these three people did not think so.
What they think to themselves is, how fast they can run while standing.
If you have to squat down and run, don't you need a process of standing up? Isn't that slower?
However, although I don't understand it in my heart.
But the person standing in front of them is the king of Shu who descended from the gods!
And for them, the King of Shu is not only a god descending from heaven, but also their benefactor!
The three of them are not in very good family conditions.
It's because of a suggestion from the King of Shu, and because of the Sixteen Nations Games, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
If it weren't for the King of Shu, they would have been so obscure all their lives, continuing to fall into poverty.
And now, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Therefore, since it is the order of the king of Shu, no matter whether it is right or wrong, they will carry it out without complaint and to the letter.
After the first experiment, they decisively felt that the effect was really not good, it was really not as fast as they could run on their feet.
And the King of Shu seems to have directly ignored this point and directly corrected the deficiencies in their actions.
Then let them continue practicing.
And next, Li Su is to point out the long jump.
The problem with the long jump is that they don't know enough about the run-up, and the speed of the run-up is not used.
Their success depends entirely on their physical fitness.
For this, Li Su has no way to demonstrate, after all, he doesn't understand it himself.
Li Su could only tell them the correct method and let them experience it for themselves.
And this time, after Li Su's guidance, these athletes actually achieved immediate results.
After two or three attempts, there was a clear breakthrough in the results.
This made them admire the King of Shu even more, and train harder.
Next, it's for the high jump competition, which is also an important point.
The champion of the high jump competition is a fierce man who can jump two meters high with both feet on the spot, and his name is Song Chao.
And the second place one, who can only jump to a height of 1.5 meters, is called Meng Hu.
However, even if it is a height of 1.5 meters, if it is put into the future generations, it will be a fierce man.
Li Su called Song Chao and Meng Hu to his side, and then said to them: "Next, this king wants to give you a demonstration, and this king wants to challenge the height of one meter seven." ”
What the?
Hearing Li Su's words, whether it was Song Chao or Meng Hu, their faces showed disbelief.
The two of them are fierce people who have been selected from the entire Tang Dynasty through layers of screening.
Although the height of one meter seven does not exceed the height of the first place Song Chao.
But it is already one and a half meters higher than the second place Meng Hu.
They couldn't believe that His Highness would be so powerful.
Although His Highness is a god descending from heaven, it is manifested in intelligence, not in physical fitness.
And Li Su didn't make too much time with them, but turned around and walked about forty or fifty steps to the side.
Seeing this scene, Song Chao and Meng Hu were stunned again.
Hey?
What is King Shu doing?
Isn't high jump just jumping straight on the spot?
Next, I saw that the King of Shu began to run, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
After a short time, he ran under the crossbar, and next, the king of Shu made a fish jump, starting from the head, and the whole body jumped over the crossbar and fell to the sofa behind.
Now Li Su is 14 years old, and his height is more than 1.6 meters, less than 1.7 meters.
This height, coupled with the continuous practice of the Yijin Jing in the past few years, Li Su's physical fitness is quite good.
Jumping over a height of 1.7 meters is a breeze.
Even Li Su felt that after a period of practice, he could challenge the height of one meter eight and one meter nine, or even two meters.
After getting up from the mat, Li Su clapped his hands and said, "How is it?" Isn't it easy for this king to jump? ”
Song Chao and Meng Hu were stunned and said, "Your Highness, but, but you didn't jump over at all!" ”
The king knew you would say that.
Li Su smiled and asked, "Then tell me, what are the rules of high jump?" ”
Hearing Li Su's inquiry, Song Chao couldn't help but say: "The rule of high jump is that the height of the body must exceed the pole, and no part of the body can touch the pole, and the pole cannot be touched." ”
Li Su shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Then the king asked you, is this king's action foul?" ”
"This ......" Song Chao and Meng Hu thought for a long time before shaking their heads and saying, "No!" ”
Li Su couldn't help laughing and said, "Look, since this king doesn't have any violations, why can't he jump like this?" If you take the posture of this king, when the time comes, won't the first and second places be in your pocket? ”
Hearing Li Su's words, Song Chao and Meng Hu couldn't help but suddenly realize, and couldn't help nodding excitedly.
Yes, although the two of them are already the two most powerful in Datang.
But there are heroes in the world and many talents, who knows that in the other fifteen countries, there will be no more powerful roles?
To be honest, their results are not guaranteed in the 16-nation games.
But if His Highness's high jump method is adopted, their achievements will inevitably be able to break through again and reach a new height.
When the time comes, the champion and runner-up will really be in their pocket.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the King of Shu for advice on the skills of back-to-back high jump, and then trained hard.
Of course, there are always problems of one kind or another in the first ten jumps.
It's not that the body is uncoordinated, and you can't master the best time to jump.
It's the body touching the pole.
However, they were not discouraged, and finally on the eleventh time, Song Chao made a breakthrough first, and his height was increased by at least ten centimeters.
Moreover, this height should not be his limit, he still has room for improvement.
Not long after, Meng Hu also broke through, and this time he broke through, and he directly came to a height of 1.8 meters.
The progress has been staggering.
Seeing this scene, Li Su couldn't help nodding slightly.
Li Su felt that it was not a big problem for Song Chao to finally reach a height of two meters two, and it was not even impossible to reach two meters three or two meters four.
As for Meng Hu, he is definitely able to exceed two meters in height.
These two people are basically very stable in the top two in the high jump.
Next up are weightlifting, iron ball and javelin.
In these three projects, Li Su really has little experience himself.
But fortunately, he has all kinds of experience from the afterlife.
Now it is very close to the time for the 16 Nations Games, and it is definitely too late for systematic training.
But some basic posture changes are still very easy to do.
And as long as you change some postures, it is easy to achieve a breakthrough in the results.
Under the guidance of Li Su, the six athletes in these three events have also made rapid progress.
And after a few days of training, Su Wen and the other two runners in second place finally felt the benefits of a squat start.
It turns out that the squat start can indeed be a better boost and faster acceleration than a standing start.
At the very least, it can be several meters faster.
At this time, they found out that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was right.
And when they were before, they even suspected His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it was really too undeserved!
After discovering this, they trained even harder.
At this time, the knockout round of the Keju Competition in the second game has also ended.
Of the original 240 teams, only 120 remain.
These 120 teams will play the third round of elimination.
After another 60 games, there will be 60 teams left.
This process only takes two days to complete.
Two days later, there were only thirty teams left.
None of the remaining teams are weak.
The weak teams have been eliminated in the early stages.
In today's Keju competition, countless people come to watch the game.
There are many people in Datang who like to juju, but there are usually not so many games, let alone so many strong team games.
Now the successive competitions are feasting the eyes of these spectators.
They also named five favourites to win the championship.
The first team is the God Killing Team, this team is too fierce, and since the game, it has been a big kill.
The members of the God Killing Team, but some old countrymen, these old countrymen, the sword is not old, in the competition field, it is also murderous.
The weaker teams didn't even dare to look at them.
Almost everyone is optimistic that they can win the championship.
