Chapter 53: Just So Confident
November 18, 15:00 p.m. Guangzhou Olympic Sports Center Main Stadium.
Compared to yesterday's game, there are relatively many spectators in the stadium today. However, compared to the large stadium, there are not many people watching the game.
The stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, is only 100 meters on the edge of the track, and there are only a few thousands of people sitting there.
The first start at 15:00 was the women's 11m hurdles final, and there were some cheers in the stadium. In the warm-up area, Zhang Ben looked at Wang Ben and Luo Jiaquan who were warming up, and felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that Liu Feiren, who I am familiar with, will only have a final tomorrow, and I won't have time to come over tomorrow..."
Liu Feiren, in his previous life, was the pride of the Chinese people.
In that era, the fire of sports was ignited, and for the first time, the Chinese people felt that sports could also win glory for the country. In the previous life, in the field of domestic sprinting, the 110-meter hurdles was definitely a threshold to step over. Liu Feiren is definitely a figure of domestic sports, a celebrity known to every family in China...
"Now Liu Feiren is a world champion..."
For Liu Feiren, Zhang Ben is also very familiar.
This year is the year of Liu Feiren's absolute rise, becoming the irreplaceable main force in the domestic 110-meter hurdles.
On May 6, 2001, Liu Feiren won the first place in the National Track and Field Championships and Series Grand Prix with a time of 13.32 seconds.
On May 24, Liu Feiren won the first place in 13.42 seconds at the East Asian Games in Osaka, Japan.
On August 28, Liu Feiren won the championship in the World University Games with a time of 13.33 seconds, which was China's first track and field gold medal at the Universiade and the first world championship won by Liu Feiren himself.
In the next National Games, tomorrow is November 19, and Liu Feiren will win the championship with a time of 13.36 seconds.
"Liu Feiren is definitely the brightest star in the history of domestic sports..."
Rao is project is different, and Zhang Ben is also full of respect for Liu Feiren.
"After Liu Feiren was brilliant, he was plagued by injuries, which is definitely a big pity for domestic sprinting..."
Zhang Ben pondered carefully: "There is a chance to help Liu Feiren once..."
"Come on..."
Zhang Ben clapped his hands, Wang Ben and Luo Jiaquan came to Zhang Ben: "Relax and relax, the next game, relax your mind, run well, don't have any psychological burden......"
The final is coming soon, and Zhang Ben is also a little nervous, but he can't show it. At this time, he is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of athletes.
"I believe that your efforts during this period of time will be rewarded with satisfaction..."
Zhang Ben patted Luo Jiaquan on the shoulder: "This is the final, the good players I have met before and those I have not met will appear on the track." For example, Yin Hanzhao, such as Liu Yang, such as Wang Peng..."
Wang Ben doesn't care, he has the confidence to break the domestic record. Luo Jiaquan was slightly nervous, and in yesterday's rematch, he ran 10.35 seconds, behind Yin Hanzhao, and advanced to the second place in the group...
For the players who couldn't win before, he was still a little afraid...
It's like a master's move, if you lose every time, you will be afraid and lose before you fight. Zhang Ben can also see that the above three people have somewhat given Luo Jiaquan some psychological shadows, resulting in a lack of confidence.
"You haven't been training with me for a long time, and I'm really happy with your performance this month."
Zhang Ben smiled, with a confident smile on his face: "I know all your achievements, as long as you have the courage and you can overcome the psychological shadow, Wang Ben has booked the first, and you Luo Jiaquan can definitely win the second... Trust me and believe in yourself. ”
Luo Jiaquan's body trembled slightly, and he nodded firmly: "Thank you, coach, I understand..."
Now for Zhang Ben, Luo Jiaquan does not say that he trusts 100%. Zhang Ben's words will also give him a great boost in confidence. What Zhang Ben said has been fulfilled, so next, as long as he overcomes the psychological shadow, he can get a good result...
"Alright... Let's check it out..."
Zhang Benmu sent them into the check-in area, and he also entered the competition area.
At this time, the women's 110m hurdles final has ended, and the staff is removing the hurdles and cleaning up the track.
"The game is about to begin..."
Zhou Zhiyuan was already waiting here, Zhou Zhiyuan was originally watching the competition at the competition venue of other events, and he still came here in the 100-meter final today.
Sports can be honored regardless of the event.
However, the 100m is undoubtedly the hottest and most sought after event in China and on the world circuit. The kind of combination of strength and speed, the visual and heartbeat impact brought by it, so that all sports lovers in the world will like 100 meters unconsciously...
At home or abroad, sprinting is always a project that cannot be ignored, and sprinting is also very important in China.
Similarly, domestic competitions, provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions also attach great importance to this project.
"Before..."
Zhou Zhiyuan was very relaxed, not very nervous, but a little calm: "Leading the team to participate in the competition, I won't come over in the 100-meter race, because I know I can't win." This time is different, in our province, there is a sprinting genius, and everything is said to take the time to come and cheer..."
Zhou Zhiyuan was still in the mood to joke: "This time the first is stable..."
Zhang Ben also grinned: "I am more ambitious than you, my goal is to be in the top two..."
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Ben in surprise and frowned slightly.
As a young man, Zhou Zhiyuan really likes Zhang Ben's sharpness and the end of not admitting defeat. It's just that there are times when everything is done according to one's ability. Zhang Ben's personality is not flamboyant, but this kind of overconfidence, if he didn't know Zhang Ben's ability, people who don't know and don't understand him would definitely not like it.
This will definitely not be beneficial to his future development.
"Wang Ben, I am full of confidence, but Luo Jiaquan..."
Zhou Zhiyuan sighed: "He was one of the best sprinters in Qi Province... After entering the national team, an accidental injury made him recuperate for a year and a half, and he has only just recovered to his peak, which has been more than two years. And his age is also past the golden age... This time, the improvement in performance is indeed great, your training and his persistence have made him improve... But in the future..."
Once an athlete is injured, if it is serious, he will say goodbye to the track, some will have to recuperate for a year and a half, and it will take a long time to re-adapt to the training and the track, and it will take two years to return to peak condition, which is reasonable...
Zhang Ben then understood why Luo Jiaquan entered the national team more than two years ago, and his results did not improve much.
"Director Zhou..."
Zhang Ben smiled: "I have confidence in my training methods, and I am also confident in Luo Jiaquan... My training method, Chen Lao understands a little, but he doesn't understand it better than me, Luo Jiaquan can definitely continue to break his own limits. This time, I can definitely run under 10.25 seconds! ”
The smile on Zhou Zhiyuan's face disappeared, and it was a good thing to have confidence in himself and the athletes.
Just overconfidence...
Zhou Zhiyuan felt that since Zhang Ben broke the domestic record, he seemed to be a little arrogant and a little floating...
However, he is an easy-going person, and he wants Zhang Ben to recognize the reality clearly, but he doesn't want to discourage his enthusiasm, so he can't help but have a headache: "I hope so..."
Luo Jiaquan's best time in yesterday's race was 10.30 seconds... The semi-final was 10.35 seconds.
This kind of performance is low in China but it is excellent, but on today's track, there are also many strong soldiers. Even though Luo Jiaquan was distracted by turning his head during the preliminaries, if he concentrated on running the final race, he could run into 10.30 seconds...
It's just that Yin Hanzhao is a fierce general, and his results are second only to Chen Haijian, and the best time is 10.26 seconds...
This is an opportunity and challenge for athletes to break through themselves, Yin Hanzhao and Wang Ben compete together, and they may be able to break through themselves when they are stimulated...
In addition to Yin Hanzhao, there is also Liu Yang, and Wang Peng also can't ignore...
Luo Jiaquan wants to get the top three, and the challenge is huge, let alone the runner-up... Unless Luo Jiaquan had spare strength in the preliminaries yesterday, but he watched the game yesterday, Luo Jiaquan definitely did his best except for being a little distracted.
In the 100-meter sport, the difference of 0.01 seconds is not a gap that can be crossed.
In one game, can you still break through yourself one after another? Or is it such a big breakthrough?
"Director Zhou, maybe I'm arrogant..."
Zhang Ben suddenly smiled.
Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, this young man is going to soften? To make amends for the big words just spoken?
Zhang Ben looked at the athletes entering the stadium, and the smile on his face turned serious: "I can say big things, I can be arrogant, because I believe in my own training methods, and I believe in the performance of my disciples... They can let me down, but I can't lose faith in them... Because as soon as I lose faith in them, they lose even less faith... What's more, they have this strength in their own right. ”
This is the first time Zhou Zhiyuan has heard this theory.
But what Zhang Ben said is very clear, shouldn't coaches be like this?
"This is a young man like no other..."
Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly found that he didn't hate this young man, but liked him more and more, and even had a mentality of seeing him embarrassed: "If Luo Jiaquan can't get the runner-up later, see how you end..."
