Chapter Twenty-Seven: The End
"Mr. Ao, what time is your 4X100m relay in the afternoon?"
After Su Zu and Zhang Jiehua jumped long, Xie Caiwen looked at his watch, the time was already half past eleven o'clock at noon, and turned his head to Ao Dingping next to him and asked.
"Starting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Coach Xie, you should remember to come and watch us play in the afternoon." Ao Dingping looked a little excited, he didn't expect that the two students under his command would be valued by the coach of the city's sports school, which was the first time that a big girl went to a sedan chair in his career as a physical education teacher.
"Yes." Xie Caiwen nodded and agreed, "That's the case, I wonder if you can delay a little longer after the competition, I want to give these two students from your school another test." As he spoke, he pointed to Su Zu and Zhang Jiehua, who were not far from him.
"Yes, this is no problem, I'll just go back and talk to the principal and director." Ao Dingping understood what Xie Caiwen meant, and replied with a smile.
At noon, I had lunch as usual and rested at the hotel for a while.
In the afternoon, there was a relay race, and in addition to the last men's relay race in Yangxin Middle School, the county middle school sports meeting competition was all over.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the relay area, sure enough, Xie Caiwen and several people appeared again. However, this time, Chen Tao, the old coach of the city's weightlifting team, did not appear again, but Jiang Xianwu, deputy director of the County Culture and Sports Bureau, and Zheng Wei, Xie Caiwen's assistant driver coach.
Several people came to see the relay race in the afternoon, especially Jiang Xianwu, he had a meeting in the morning, and he was also a leader, so it was impossible to get tired of being in a middle school sports meeting every day. At noon, Chen Tao called him and said that Coach Xie Caiwen of the Municipal Sports School was particularly concerned about the two students who participated in the county games, and Jiang Xianwu couldn't sit still.
One of the functions of the local cultural and sports bureaus at all levels is to guide and coordinate sports training, and to be responsible for the construction of sports teams and the cultivation of sports talents.
The development of culture and sports in Wuxing County is lagging behind, and in the past few years, I have not recommended any outstanding sports talents to the higher institutions.
Of the thirteen middle schools in Wuxing County, one middle school has a relay team, and there is no need to set up the preliminaries for the relay race of 4X100, which is divided into two groups and takes the top six.
Yangxin Middle School made a big splash this time, covering the first and third places in the 100-meter round and the first and second places in the 200-meter sprint.
Before the game, each team has been standing on the track to prepare, this time Yangxin Middle School arranged Zhang Jiehua's first stick, Su Zu's fourth stick, the second stick is Guo Wenxu, the third stick is a student named Zhang Kai, this county games participated in the 1000 meters, but unfortunately did not enter the top six results.
As soon as the gun rang out, Zhang Jiehua and the first runner of each middle school on the starting line started to start, he didn't start fast, but soon reached 50 meters and began to seize the advantage, and when the baton was about to be handed over, he had opened several positions away from the second runner.
The second baton was Guo Wenxu, and the handover was also smooth, his speed was not particularly outstanding, but it was not slow and stable throughout the whole process, and he also won the fourth place in the 400-meter run in the county games.
maintained the advantage of Zhang Jiehua running all the way, but when Guo Wenxu, the second baseman, and Zhang Kai, the third baseman, handed over the baton, the two suddenly had a problem.
Zhang Kai, who was on the third stick, started too late, Guo Wenxu didn't completely slow down for a while, and the two almost collided, and the stick fell to the ground. Fortunately, it did not come out of the relay area, and it did not affect the runners of other tracks, but this time he turned around and picked up the baton and started again to accelerate, and suddenly fell directly from the first position to the penultimate place. And in the blink of an eye, the last middle school player has more acceleration time and has surpassed it.
Yangxin Middle School's third stick slipped directly to the penultimate one.
The relay race is like this, you have a strong individual team, and you are 0.5 seconds ahead of the other runners, but the baton handover is delayed a little and you make a mistake, and a few seconds of time flies by, and the other runners who are slower than you have already finished handing over.
In the relay race, the most important thing is the baton handover link, individual strength is weak is not the biggest problem, the key is that the baton connection should be good, a baton can often save a lot of time for the mature and stable team.
Like the Thai team, which was often mentioned in the Asian Games and Asian Championships, each player participating in the relay race was much worse in strength and skill than the sprinters from other countries. However, with his skillful and stable baton handover technology, he often poses a threat to the Chinese team and the Japanese team to win the championship.
This is the kind of baton handover in the relay race, you are 0.5 seconds ahead of others in the sprinter, but the baton is slightly delayed and the time of a few seconds flies by, and the other slower runners than you have already finished handing over.
Zhang Kai's own speed is average, he participated in the men's 1000-meter run, tried his best to chase it, and only ran from the penultimate position to the penultimate one.
Su Zu saw that there was a problem with the two of them handing over the baton just now, and his heart became impatient, and he didn't dare to accelerate immediately for a while, only waiting for Zhang Kai to successfully receive the stick before turning around and starting to accelerate the sprint.
At this time, there were five people in front of Su Zu, and the distance between the first place and him was almost ten meters, Su Zu clenched his teeth, didn't think about anything, and chased forward as fast as he could.
The whole arena scene boiled instantly.
The crowd of onlookers on both sides of the track could clearly see a runner starting from the penultimate place to pursue quickly, the speed was amazing, more than one in 30 meters, more than one in 50 meters, more than one in 70 meters, and then caught up with the second place at 80 meters, rushing all the way to catch up, and overtaking the first four runners in front of him in succession.
The best thing to watch in the sprint competition is this scene, a runner behind suddenly exerts force, overtaking the opponent one after another, and the powerful impact of the crazy running makes people can't help but boil their blood.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with the first runner, it was a pity that at this time, the finish line was in sight, and the distance of the last stick had been completed, no matter how hard Su Zu tried, there was too much lost time in front of him to make up for it.
When he crossed the line, he was still one position behind and failed to overtake the first player.
The crowd on both sides of the runway seemed to be unable to catch up and overtake, and at the same time let out a huge sigh.
"It's a pity, if there is no problem with the middle baton, Yangxin Middle School will be the first."
Before the finish line, Zhang Jiehua and Guo Wenxu, who were the first and second stickers, were already waiting there, both of them looking a little depressed.
"Guo Zi, it's all your fault that there was a problem with the handover of the baton between you and Zhang Kai, otherwise we would be the first."
Zhang Jiehua had a stinky face, his face was full of unhappiness, he thought that he could win the first place in the relay race, but now the group has won the second, and there will be a group of games later, so it would be good to have a third or fourth.
"Zhang Kai started too slowly, basically didn't run, I didn't have time to slow down, and I hit him directly. I wish I had slowed down sooner. Guo Wenxu patted his forehead, also with a look of annoyance.
"You and Zhang Kai just need to be stable and don't make mistakes, didn't you tell you before? I ran out of the advantage, and Su Zu sprinted at the end, and he was able to win. Zhang Jiehua is obsessed with missing the first.
"It's not my fault alone, I ......" Guo Wenxu opened his mouth, his face was a little unlooking, and he simply turned his head and didn't bother to speak.
"Alright, let's say a few words. It's just a relay race, it's not a big deal. ”
Su Zuchang took a few breaths, calmed his breath, looked at the angry appearance of the two, and opened his mouth to comfort.
At this time, Zhang Kai, who ran the third stick, walked through the playground in the middle of the track and arrived in front of several people.
"I'm sorry, blame me for not picking it up."
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Kai's eyes were a little red, and his face was full of self-blame.
Zhang Jiehua snorted coldly, he wanted to open his mouth to accuse, but after looking at Zhang Kai's demeanor, like Guo Wenxu, he didn't bother to speak anymore, and turned around and walked to the side directly.
"Forget it, it's okay, there's no way to make a mistake."
Su Zu was comforted, and he also felt a little sorry for missing the first place in the relay race.
"Really, I won't be careful when I take over the baton." Zhang Kai said with a bit of crying.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, you'll be laughed at. It's just a game, it's not your responsibility. ”
Su Zu had forgotten that a young man of this age could see so openly. If someone says a few more words, they will be aggrieved and cry, not to mention the guilt of making mistakes.
In fact, not to mention a middle school student's competition, it is a collective event among professional athletes, in which some people make mistakes, and teammates are often difficult to let go.
After the last group of relay races, sure enough, the results of the group behind the 4X100m relay race were not bad, and the relay results of Yangxin Middle School were only ranked fourth.
So far, this Wuxing County Middle School Sports Meeting, Yangxin Middle School ended with such an unperfect ending.
