Chapter 155: Olympic Strategy
On Huandao Road, Hedao City.
Li Zhizhong rode on a women's motorcycle, his feet on the ground, watching a makeup artist hurriedly run to Su Zu to help him touch up his makeup, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's really the light of an apprentice, and when I'm in my forties, I still have the opportunity to shoot TV commercials, well, although there are not many shots, it's still good.
Turning his head and looking at the advertising director who was watching this effect behind a small screen not far away, he was not sure if it had passed.
"Okay, that's it, this one has passed."
After waiting for almost a minute, the voice of the advertising director sounded, and Li Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief and got off the motorcycle.
"Good work, Coach Lee."
Xiao Weien, the marketing director of Antan, had been staring at the advertisement shot by the director all the time, and when he saw Li Zhizhong coming down, he immediately greeted him.
"It's okay, I'm also a big girl in a sedan chair, the first time." Li Zhizhong shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked, "By the way, Director Xiao, how long will you have to shoot?" ”
Originally, Li Zhizhong thought that it would take two or three days at most to shoot those sports running advertisements on TV, but after he went into battle, he found that the inspirational advertisement that Antan Company wanted was very fine. I have been filming in several places, shooting back and forth, and today is the fifth day.
"I just confirmed with the director, it should be this afternoon." Xiao Weien replied with a smile, "I also know that you are training more nervously, and I am really sorry to delay it for so long. ”
In a large sporting goods company, Xiao Weien can mix into the position of national marketing director, and Xiao Weien is quite sincere in his words.
"You don't have to eat, it's good to be able to finish filming early."
Li Zhizhong was already a little anxious about the delay in the progress of this advertisement to the fifth day, and he didn't have much time before the Olympics.
Can't wait until after Athens?! Lao Li was also slandered in his heart, and he was really dissatisfied with Tian Guan's side of the money and his eyes opening to agree to Su Zu to take over the advertisement.
"How could your Antan Company find Su Zu to endorse at this time? I heard that you have given a lot of sponsorship money to the Athletics Management Center, so why don't you just wait for the Olympics? ”
Anyway, the advertisement is about to be filmed, and Li Zhizhong asked the question in his heart.
"Coach Li, this, we are also gambling." Xiao Weien's face was a little more bright, "We have also read the interview with Su Zu at the airport, and our team has analyzed Su Zu's results in detail, and we all think that he should gain something in Athens, in case, oh, you coach currently, I can't say that." If Su Zu runs in the Athens Olympics for 10 seconds, then we will make a lot of money. ”
"Didn't the cola company also invite Liu Yangyu and Teng Haibin to shoot commercials, everyone has this idea, betting that after this Olympics, the reputation of athletes will rise sharply. However, in fact, with Su Zu's current results and level, our money has already been well spent. If after the Athens Olympics, if Su Zu can run a result like an indoor race, we may not be able to afford it at that time. ”
Talking about this, Xiao Weien is not shy about it, this time he spent a lot of money to open the field management center, which he presided over, and they were all people in the sports industry, so he simply said it directly.
Li Zhizhong bowed slightly, understanding that these businessmen were unprofitable and could not afford to be early, and it was definitely impossible to do a loss-making business.
Fortunately, such an advertisement was also arranged at the Tianguan Center, and if there were a few more, Li Zhizhong felt that he couldn't afford it.
……
On March 20, the advertising of Antan Company was filmed. The next day, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong also took a flight back to the training base in Xinzhuang, the magic capital.
As soon as he returned to the training base, Lao Li arranged a strength training plan for Su Zu in the afternoon, and hurried to the conference hall of the administrative building of the base for a coaching meeting.
In the venue, Shen Yunbao's head coach Yuan Guohua, Chen Jian's head coach Mai Shaoqiang, Yang Guangzong's head coach Liu Renjia, and Yu Liwei, who presided over the meeting, have all arrived.
As soon as he saw Li Zhizhong push the door in, Yu Liwei suddenly joked, "Coach Li, how does it taste to shoot this advertisement?" ”
Li Zhizhong waved his hand, "Alas, don't mention it, it's too frustrating." If I knew it, I would have called you to guide you. ”
"Haha, I wasn't invited, but you're the first coach on the team to appear in a TV commercial." Yu Liwei leaned back in his chair and laughed exaggeratedly.
After a few laughs, Yu Liwei knocked on the table, pulled everyone's attention back, and began to get to the point, "Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting." The main topic of this meeting is the training plan of our men's sprint team to prepare for the Olympic Games. ”
"What else is there to say, the 100-meter A standard Su Zu and Chen Jian are two, and the 200-meter A standard is one of Yang Guangzong I bring, let's try to let them pass the preliminaries, standing in the semi-finals is a big breakthrough." Liu Renjia moved his body and took the lead in speaking, the leather chair in the conference room seemed a little cramped for his size.
"It's not easy to get in the semi-finals and finals." Mai Shaoqiang held the teacup in both hands and answered, "I went to the transportation hospital to ask about Chen Jian's injury, basically there is no big problem, and it will recover in half a month." Then I'm going to get him into the rhythm of training as quickly as I can and try to break through. ”
"Coach Li, what about you?" Yu Liwei's eyes turned around and fell on Li Zhizhong, who had just sat down, "What do you think?" ”
Li Zhizhong put his hands together on the conference table, his fingers shaking lightly, "Su Zu started to compete too much last year, and I am ready to let him give up the National Track and Field Grand Prix, train and improve well, and prepare for the Olympics." ”
This year's National Athletics Grand Prix began on April 18, with the first two stops in Greentown and Guilin in Guilin Province, and the final on May 23 in the capital of Yi Province. As in previous years, there will be athletes under the coaches present.
"Abandon the domestic Grand Prix?" Yu Liwei was slightly surprised by Li Zhizhong's arrangement, "What about the IAAF Grand Prix later?" What do you think, give up with it? ”
"This ...... This depends on the completion of the training plan later. Li Zhizhong sighed lightly, "Some athletes in our team use the method of training by competition, like Liu Yangyu, who trains in this way and improves quickly. But I took a look at Su Zu, and after he entered the competition, the improvement rate dropped significantly. His current age is not suitable for training in competitions, and he still needs to accumulate a lot of experience, and there are too many places to improve. ”
"Heh, Coach Li, as soon as you say that, it seems that Su Zujin is a sure thing in 10 seconds?" As soon as Li Zhizhong's voice fell, Liu Renjia, who was sitting opposite him, picked up the conversation, with a mocking smile on his face.
"The 10-second level is significant, I can't guarantee it." Li Zhizhong glanced at Liu Renjia and said lightly: "But the IAAF second-level track and field championship already exists." ”
"Okay, I got it. Coach Yuan, if you have an idea, you can also take it out for your reference. ”
Yu Liwei watched the conversation between Li Zhizhong and Liu Renjia quietly, although he didn't know when the two had some mismatch, but he was the presiding officer of the meeting, and he interrupted the conversation in time so as not to make people quarrel.
Yuan Guohua, who had been sitting at the bottom of the meeting and had not spoken, slowly stood up and suddenly reached out and knocked on the table.
"I think ah, several coaches should put their respective training plans on hold, and what should they do when they think about their personal performance at this time?"
Yuan Guohua's voice was not loud, but he was full of confidence.
"Men's sprinting has always been a weakness, not just for us, but for the whole of Asia. Now among our athletes, apart from Su Zu, who else is likely to run in the final? Even if Su Zu runs into the finals, whether he can win a medal or not is a matter of two words. ”
Yuan Guohua looked around at the coaches, and finally looked at Li Zhizhong. Li Zhizhong also nodded slightly, what Yuan Guohua said was not bad, even if Su Zu's current results, he only reported the purpose of being able to enter the finals in 10 seconds, and he did not consider the idea of winning gold and silver at all.
Yuan Guohua looked at Li Zhizhong and nodded, and his voice raised a little more, "Have you forgotten something?!" We are last year's champion at the Asian Athletics Championships and the Asian record holder. Since there is no way to determine whether the individual event can produce results, should the focus be adjusted to the relay at this time?
The current sprinters are almost the best players since we founded the team, Su Zu and Chen Jian, let's not talk about it, Shen Yunbao has been able to train within 10 seconds and 30 seconds this year, and Yang Guangzong, his strength is also clear to everyone. With such a good player, he should seize all the time to train the relay now. ”
"Old Yuan, you have a good idea." Yu Liwei pointed at Yuan Guohua and praised with a smile.
At this time, several coaches present will not be able to see it, obviously Yuan Guohua and Yu Liwei have communicated in advance, and even Yu Liwei may have instructed him.
It's just that the next training, if it is mainly a relay race, let alone Liu Renjia, Li Zhizhong is not so willing to accept it.
Yuan Guohua looked at the silence of several coaches, and said again: "Several coaches have their own training plans, but now at present, there is no doubt that the relay race is the most likely to win a medal." Last year's extraordinary performance at the Asian Championships may not be impossible to replicate. ”
"I've been studying the baton handover technique of the Japanese team these days and collecting some information about them. In the early years of the Japanese team, NHK TV used technical means to analyze various data such as body muscles and ground feedback during running, and there was a term called elastic potential energy. We all know that the elongation and contraction of the tendon is explosive force, and the hardness of the Achilles tendon, that is, the elasticity coefficient, is innate. That's when they realized that they needed to bridge the gap with technology.
The current members of our relay team are all good players, but they have practiced too little in the relay race. The technology is too rough, and if we can further polish the relay technology, the future can be expected. ”
"That's a good word, but Coach Yuan, you let us completely put aside the training plan of the players, this is not appropriate." Liu Renjia put forward his own opinion, Yang Guangzong is an athlete in the 200m event, and the competition in the 200m is lower than the 100m, and he has great expectations for Yang Guangzong to enter the 200m final.
"The relay is a good speed exercise. If you let him run 60 meters, his speed may not be able to go up, but if you let him pass the baton once, maybe his speed will be faster, because if you want to chase someone, you have to use 100 strength to complete the baton handover, and it makes no sense not to run the baton with all your strength. Yuan Guohua replied.
Having said that, the coaches present are actually very clear in their hearts, including Li Zhizhong, who know that this direction is right.
Yu Liwei stood up and took two steps back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Coach Yuan's thinking is right, but the respective head coaches can't put the players' training plans on hold. Our team members can't do it alone, but they are pinched as a whole, and their strength is not inferior. It's a good strategy to use relays to drive individual projects, and that's what we're going to do.
