"The men's 100 meters of the Asian Games have just ended, and the champion is Saudi Arabia's naturalized black player Safar in 10.24 seconds, the runner-up is Japan's Nobuji Asahara's 10.29 seconds, and the third place is China's Chen Jian in 10.34 seconds."

Li Zhizhong told the top three results of this Asian Games one by one. Among them, the champion from Saudi Arabia Safar is a naturalized black athlete, and some Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are traditional naturalized countries with abundant funds, not only in track and field events, but also in football, basketball and other competitive sports are also a large number of athlete immigrants.

There are pros and cons to this kind of thing, including Japan, which also has a lot of naturalized black athletes, or mixed-race athletes, in order to improve the country's competitiveness in the international arena.

Wang Yuanbin, who was helping Su Zu to relax his calf muscles, heard the results of this Asian Games, and when he heard about the results of this Asian Games, he couldn't sit still, got up and walked a few steps back and forth, his face full of excitement.

"Chen Jian ran 10.34 seconds this time, which is the third place, according to the results of the last Grand Prix and our training tests, Su Zu is already different. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"

At this time, the domestic men's 100-meter record was 10.17 seconds, but the domestic athletes were unable to break it, and the track and field expert that emerged in the past two years was Chen Jian. He has won the championship of the National Track and Field Championships and the runner-up of the East Asian Games, and there are basically no domestic players who can match him.

And Su Zu's current level is also similar to Chen Jian's, that is to say, it is a real domestic first-class level, sometimes the results are one thing, and having a reference standard is another.

After all, it is not uncommon in competitive sports, where it is clear that their own athletes have reached the first-line level, but they just caught up with the explosion of athletes in the entire event.

On the contrary, the lucky athletes caught up with the cold in the whole event, and there were no masters, and a passable result casually was the championship to get a soft hand.

Therefore, the personal achievements of athletes are sometimes inseparable from the overall environment.

Of course, there is a kind of athlete who, in the years since the explosion of the whole project, has produced strong players from all walks of life, is full of talents, and can still beat the crowd to reach the top, such an athlete is destined to go down in history. Good flowers have to be matched with green leaves, competitive sports, and the most brilliant is always the era of endless wizards.

However, in any case, the news of the Asian Games is a shot in the arm for the entire coaching staff, and it is a rare qualification and experience for Wang Yuanbin to join with the purpose of learning.

……

This time, the National Track and Field Championship and Grand Prix Finals were held in Siping County, Jiangnan Province, which is an advanced county in national sports and the hometown of national track and field. In 2001, the 5th Jiangnan Provincial Track and Field Games was held, and in 2002, the Go League and the 2002 National Taekwondo Championship and Asian Games Trials were held. It has strong strength in martial arts, boxing, sanda, wrestling and other competitive sports, and the PLA boxing team has also set up a youth training base in Shiping County.

From October 27th to October 29th, the three-day championship competition is also the largest event in Chinese track and field this year.

The championship is a high-level event with a relatively high prize money, and the more than 500 athletes participating in the competition are all the top 16 finishers in the five Grand Prix events this year. And this year's finals were postponed because of the Asian Games, but because of this, this management competition not only concentrates the national track and field elites, but also has most Asian Games champions appear, which is also one of the highlights of this championship.

On the evening of October 25, on the train to Jiangnan Province, Li Zhizhong dropped out a cup of hot tea and was talking about the location of the competition and the contestants.

Because it is a neighboring province, the distance is not far, and I didn't take a plane like the previous few times, and some expenses always have to be reimbursed. Moreover, there is no airport in Shiping County, where the competition is held, so it is better to take a car for an hour or two, so it is better to simply take the train.

However, at this time, the train has not yet moved, and the speed of the train in Ronghai Province is slow, and the group bought a sleeper train at night through the competition management center, a small box, and a night time, just the next morning, can get to the place.

"In this championship, as I said before, you don't have too much pressure, our main goal is to participate in the competition, and to be able to compete with the top players in the country, this experience is worth learning. I don't ask for anything about grades, you do your best. ”

Li Zhizhong looked at the side of the bed, Xu Zhikui was doing a simple leg muscle relaxation for Su Zu, and rushed back to the car tonight, and the group came to the station after training and hurriedly ate dinner, and they didn't have time to do the usual relaxation massage.

Although Su Zu's usual training on the competition field has the level of domestic first-line athletes, Li Zhizhong does not have particularly big mandatory requirements.

In his eyes, although Su Zu is too mature, quiet, hard-working, and has no anxiety, after all, he is still too young and has experienced few events, and if he loses in the arena, he will inevitably shake his confidence. This is also the norm for young athletes.

"Hehe, Coach Li, I think the pressure this time may be that those players who come back from the Asian Games are greater, they have just participated in the big continental events, and they return to China, in case they don't play well and are cut off by someone, it's not very good." Wang Yuanbin leaned on the top bunk opposite, probed out and said.

Li Zhizhong shook his head, "That's not the case, generally the players who have just returned from the competition will often achieve better results than you expected." ”

Wang Yuanbin has no experience in leading athletes to participate in large-scale events, so he can't quite understand the situation faced by this national track and field championship. Because of the postponement of the championship, some of the players who participated in the championship this time have experience in participating in the Asian Games.

Regardless of the athletes' performance in the Asian Games, generally after this kind of international competition, the participating athletes will be relatively relaxed in mentality, improve their horizons, and carry the confidence to return from the competition, and it is often easier to burst out of results.

"I see." After listening to Li Zhizhong's explanation, Wang Yuanbin felt that he had learned something, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "So, Coach Li, you not only signed up for Su Zu for 100 meters this time, but also added a men's 200 meters?" ”

"That's what it means." Li Zhizhong nodded, looked at Su Zu, who had already finished muscle relaxation on the side, and was standing up and moving his muscles a little in the narrow sleeper box, and said with a smile, "This is not because we don't have confidence in you, but to make some strategic considerations, after all, you want to get more support in the Hedao City team, or you still have to make more achievements and win more championships." ”

Chen Jian just won the third place in the Asian Games, although the running performance is not outstanding, but this ranking will be a great encouragement for athletes, the last time a domestic athlete won the third place was eight years ago in the Hiroshima Asian Games. Maybe this time he will return with the momentum of a big victory, and he will explode at once.

And the 200 meters are different, I have watched Chen Jian's competition, his ability to maintain speed in the back is insufficient, in the 200 meters of competition, the domestic opponent is much smaller, although it is not your specialty, but with your strength, it is still very likely to win the championship. Besides, in the championship game, the prize money is still very considerable. ”

"I know, Coach."

Su Zu didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Zhizhong's adjustment, standing in the position of a coach, the first goal is to be able to achieve results, so that the next step for athletes and coaches will be much easier.

However, I want to win all the games!

In the 200 meters, his cornering skills are rougher, but with the improvement of his overall strength, it is not that he can't run, mainly because of his limited personal energy, and it is impossible to do it immediately after a while.

What's more, Su Zu has also seen the schedule, and the 100-meter race is mainly concentrated on the first day, with the morning preliminaries and the evening finals. The 200m is the evening heats on the second day and the morning final on the third day. There was plenty of time to schedule the event.

In the sound of the clangling train, Li Zhizhong took a sip of tea, looked at the dark night outside the window, suddenly changed the topic, and asked, "Alas, Su Zu, is this car going to pass near your house?" ”

"I passed through Jianping City, but it was still far from my house." Su Zu relaxed and lay on the bed, and replied with his hands on his head.

"Oh, that's right." Li Zhizhong nodded, he is not from Ronghai Province, although he settled in Hedao City later, he does not know much about the administrative districts of various cities and counties, but don't say that Li Zhizhong does not know, the terrain of the northern part of Ronghai Province is not much known to the locals.

Even though the hilly landforms of the area of "Eight Mountains, Half Water and Half Fields" are not far apart, there are few contacts. Unlike the north, it is spacious and open, and the roads are smooth, and the cost of road construction is much lower than in these areas.

There was no word all night, and the next day the train arrived at the station, and Shiping County, Jiangnan Province arrived.
