Chapter 47: 100-meter rerace
The rematch of the men's 100m race is scheduled for the afternoon of the second day of the Invitational Athletics Championship.
As mentioned earlier, the number of participants in the 100-meter dash was 109, and there were 14 preliminaries yesterday. Among them, the top two players in each preliminary round, a total of 28 people, plus the top 4 results of each preliminary group, make up 32 players to enter the semi-finals, divided into four groups.
After the rematch, the top two teams in each group will be selected to enter the finals. The finals will be held on the last day.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Zu was already standing on the track of the arena, and at the same time saw the two sprinters from the treasure island. His preliminaries time of 11.13 seconds ranked third, and the first player in the preliminaries was Baodao's Xu Hanlin 11.07 seconds. And Wu Jianming, the treasure island player who was with him Xu Hanlin, also had a time of 11.22 seconds, ranking fifth in the preliminaries.
The 100-meter sprint has always been one of the most interesting events in track and field, not to mention that today is the second day of the competition, and some events have begun to enter the semi-finals, which is much more enjoyable than the first day.
Not only did a lot of local sports fans from Rongcheng come, but also other contestants who didn't compete in the afternoon, and they also came along.
Su Zu's results in the preliminaries are considered to be high, but he is not a dark horse, and the degree of attention is far lower than that of Xu Hanlin, a treasure island player who was the first in the preliminaries.
In fact, competitive sports are linked to the country's overall economy, and there is a gap between domestic high-level sprinters and Japan, but they are still much stronger than those of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
However, the level of self-confidence in this period of time is not up to more than ten years later, and in the face of these three players, both athletes and coaches will be a little weak.
The rematch was fast, and Suzu was in the fourth lane of the third group in the rematch. The treasure island player Yang Hanlin who won the first place in the preliminaries was in the last group after him, but it was the treasure island player Wu Jianming who was fifth in the preliminaries and he was in a group.
Standing in front of the starting line, the fifth lane next to Su Zu was Wu Jianming.
The two glanced at each other silently, Su Zu could see that the other party seemed to recognize him, and during yesterday's conflict, he had been beside him, and came out to stop Xu Wenjun, a shot put player from Nanshan, and also yelled at the other party.
However, at this time, on the field, everyone moved their limbs, calmed their emotions, and did not speak.
In the rematch, all the players played to the fullest. Some players who may still have reservations in the preliminaries no longer dare not be serious in the rematch.
Almost most of the sprinters, if there is a huge difference in strength, will stay in the preliminaries, but few dare to keep in the preliminaries or semifinals. Especially for the players in the second and third pots of the top, the goal is sometimes very clear, and it is almost impossible to enter the top three, so the goal is directly in the finals, and the semi-finals are run as finals.
This was the case with Su Zu's rematch, and he had to go all out and mobilize his body to run in the best condition.
……
Wu Jianming almost felt that this was his best performance since sprinting, with a tight pace and perfect speed.
From the very beginning of the race, he felt that the start was perfect, and perhaps the starting reaction was less than 0.2 seconds, reaching the level of international superathletes.
The precise start was the result of what their coach had learned from a Japanese national coach.
From starting to accelerating, Wu Jianming felt that it was a perfect process. In the first 30 meters, he felt that everyone else was a position behind him.
"If nothing else, I'll be fine in the final. Then in the final, a top three result, this time to the mainland competition is perfect. In the process of running fast, such a thought flashed in Wu Jianming's mind.
But soon, he felt less than perfect.
Originally, he started fast and had an advantage, and he entered the fastest part of the way first, but gradually he felt that on the left track, a figure gradually went from one position behind him, to half a position, to go neck and neck.
"What's the matter, they just caught up?"
In the 100-meter race, a slight lead, sometimes it is not so easy to catch up. Especially if the level of the players is close.
Wu Jianming ranked fifth in the preliminaries group, 11.22 seconds, and Yang Hanlin, the first player in the preliminaries, 11.07 seconds, if it is the final, with such a good start, Wu Jianping can even say that he will win the championship.
But now, he found that someone was gradually overtaking him from a backward position.
At the beginning, it was the player on the left runway, this person Wu Jianming remembered that he was chatting with Yang Hanlin yesterday, and a mainland boy wanted to come to find trouble, but he was pulled away by this Ming player, but his attitude towards him was also not very good.
But at a distance of seventy meters, he tilted his head slightly, and another figure appeared in the corner of his eye, surpassing him.
"No, I'm going to be in the final."
Wu Jianming's whole person became nervous, obviously he felt that he had played very well, how could two people suddenly appear to surpass him, and almost exhausted all the strength in his life, so he wanted to chase the two people running in front.
The semi-finals are 8 out of 32, with the top two teams in each group. If he doesn't finish in the top two, he won't have a chance of reaching the final.
However, the game is the game, and in the face of strength, all kinds of unrealistic, small universe explosion ideas are useless. After finally crossing the finish line, Wu Jianming gasped violently, and his face turned pale.
"Obviously, I am fifth in the preliminaries, and the starting speed this time is very perfect, how can I lose, how can I even improve in the finals?!"
Wu Jianming didn't seem to be able to accept this reality, but when he raised his head and saw the results on the timing card, countless unwillingness could only turn into a sigh.
11.11 seconds, his best personal run since he started sprinting in the fourth grade of elementary school. Whether it's in training or in the various sports meetings I've participated in, there's never been a better result. However, it still didn't work. There were two better times ahead of him, 11.03 seconds and 11.08 seconds.
Wu Jianming remembered the idiom "the strong have their own strong hands", and kept comforting himself with these words that I have tried my best and played at a super level, but why is he so unwilling!
Wu Jianming ran very well, and some athletes were mediocre in their twenties as adults, but they may have been a great figure in winning various major awards in their teenage years.
The reason is that early high-intensity training leads to early physical development and a higher degree of precocious maturity than peers, so it is easier to achieve results. And the body that develops too early, in terms of height and physical fitness, the upper limit of the individual will appear too early.
When he enters the age of eighteen, nineteen or twentie, the physical maturity of the athletes who were originally chasing behind him gradually catches up and even surpasses, while these athletes can only stand still, and may even regress due to injuries or other reasons.
Su Zu wasn't sure what the future performance of this treasure island athlete Wu Jianming would be, but at this age, he was indeed a relatively strong sprinter.
From the start, it has always been dominant. This is also the first time that Su Zu began to feel that the strength of the sprinters among his peers, and it is almost impossible to form a crush with the people around him as before.
And in addition to him, Su Zu's other players who can enter the semi-finals are not weak. Some people may even stay in the preliminaries, and in addition to him, there is another player who surpasses Wu Jianming in the end. It's a field full of uncertainties.
"The classmate from Treasure Island ......"
Just before Wu Jianming was discouraged and about to leave the arena, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him.
Turning around and looking at the other party suspiciously, the person who shouted him was the first in his group of semifinals, 11.03 seconds, and it was the mainland player he played yesterday.
"What's the matter?" Wu Jianming opened his mouth and asked, he didn't win this personal best performance, he didn't want to talk to anyone else at the moment, he just wanted to go back to the dormitory arranged by the organizer and stay quietly.
"It's a good run, well, a little harder." Su Zu smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Oh, thank you." Wu Jianming was stunned for a moment, and when he heard that the other party seemed to be comforting himself, he wanted to shake hands with him, and subconsciously thanked him.
Su Zu shook hands with the other party gently, smiled, and let go, "Welcome to the mainland next time!" ”
As he spoke, he no longer paid attention to the other party, and walked directly back to the viewing area where Jianping Sports School was located.
In front of the viewing area, Su Zu took the clothes from Zhuang Tao and put them on his body three or two times. Exercise to keep warm, this thing that has been emphasized countless times by assistant coach Zheng Wei, he has formed his first reaction.
"You didn't provoke him?" Zhuang Tao looked at the treasure island compatriot who was passing by, and glanced at Su Zu with a strange expression.
"No, I just comforted him."
Sometimes in the face of these people, what you want is to defeat them with absolute strength, and the battlefield of athletes is on the field.
"Tomorrow is the final, don't do anything that you don't have, play hard."
Zhuang Tao is also an athlete, and some cats are very clear, athletes privately exclude verbal attacks or something, which is still very common in low-level competitions.
Su Zu nodded, he originally wanted to go over and taunt a few words, "You ran well, but it's still a little slower than me", "Welcome to the next competition, you will lose anyway" and so on, but in the end he gave up. It's too boring, from an adult perspective, the final decision is the result of the competition.
"If you know, it's good." Zhuang Tao didn't continue to talk about this topic, "Just now, a member of the team from Nanshan Sports School came over and said hello to me, saying that they would come to cheer you on for the finals." New to you? ”
"A friend I just met." Su Zu replied nonchalantly.
"Well, you can go and say hello when you're done." Zhuang Tao is not surprised by this, it is sometimes easy for teenagers to make friends.
"I took a general look at this invitational tournament, and there were a lot of people who came, but there were not many really top players, and there were not many people from various provincial teams, most of them were students from some sports schools. Your time in the semi-finals is 11.03 seconds, and if you keep this time, you will have a chance to finish in the top three in the final. If they can break the 11-second mark, there is hope for the championship. ”
"The 11-second mark?" Su Zu felt that this statement was full of freshness, and it was the 10-second mark that pressed on the yellow race, and according to his memory, it would not be until ten years later that one of his own families would be the first to break it.
"Don't underestimate the 11-second score, running in 11 seconds is already close to the level of a national first-class athlete. The upper limit of many people's lifetime talent is also here. It will not be too difficult for a player who has some athletic talent and training to run 12 seconds, but to run for 11 seconds, the effort is a geometric multiplier, and it is not necessarily useful. ”
"There is no shortage of second-level athletes in various high schools and colleges, and this number is not small, but it is not so easy to go further and reach the level of first-class athletes. From here on, the competition is no longer about the level of effort in training, but the stage of relying on God's face and talent. ”
Su Zu understood what Zhuang Tao said, in the lives of most ordinary people, from school to graduation and work, there is no shortage of people who have a second-level athlete certificate or a second-level athlete level. But when it comes to national athletes, this group begins to shrink dramatically. In addition to the national team and provincial team, some top universities, sports institutes, sports schools, and industries that are not related to sports, this part of the population is rare. It can be said that it is the starting point of a truly professional athlete.
To put it simply, it is to reach the level of a first-class athlete, and you can really rely on special athletic ability to eat, as for whether the job is stable or not, whether you can hold it, that is another matter.
Thinking of this, Su Zu opened the data panel of the system.
Name: Su Zu
Age: 15
Occupation: Sports school student
Physical fitness: 17
Agility Qualities: 19
Strength qualities: 16
Reaction Qualities: 15
Endurance qualities: 16
Flexible qualities: 14
Potential: 100.2%
Su Zu's various attributes and qualities, after training and continuous addition of points in the sports school, have gone one step further, and began to gradually surpass competitors of the same age, and gradually move closer to professional competitive athletes like his sprint performance.
"However, although the attribute has been improved, the effect of the increase after adding points has become lower and lower. This is the inherent limitation of the human body. ”
Su Zu thought about the road ahead, and casually turned the potential value that had just accumulated to 100% into attribute points, and added it to the agility quality, reaching 20 agility quality.
As Su Zu's physical attributes increased, so did the amount of training he needed to gain potential. And the boost effect is much weaker than when the points were added at the beginning.
Compared with more than two months ago, his total points have increased by more than a dozen points, but the improvement of the 100-meter speed is only about 0.2-0.4 seconds. The selection in the sports school is a hand-recorded result, and the preliminaries and semi-finals of this invitational tournament are an electric score. The conversion of handwritten scores and telegraphed scores is generally automatically added for comparison by 0.2 seconds.
At the beginning, 2 points of agility quality can be added to achieve the effect of 0.2-0.4 seconds of improvement, and now it is basically necessary to add more than two or three points on average to the values of various attributes. Moreover, Su Zu felt that if he went further, his score would increase every 0.1 seconds, and the value of various attributes might have to be doubled.
And the difficulty is that he used to be able to obtain 100% of the potential attribute in three or four days of high-intensity training, but now it takes a week or even more to obtain 100% of the potential value with the same intensity of training.
In the face of this situation, Su Zu wants to improve quickly, and it is only possible to improve higher-intensity training and constantly break through the physical limit of large-load training.
