Although it is winter, Jianping is located in South China, which is not too cold.

In particular, it is rainy and snowy that does not dare to go south on a large scale of cold air, the weather is sunny and sunny, and the temperature can reach 12 or 3 degrees during the day. Only at night does the temperature drop again to around seven or eight degrees.

On February 1, after the morning questioning class, around 2 p.m., all nine members of the sprint team appeared on the playground.

During training yesterday, assistant coach Zheng Wei had already informed the coach to conduct an intra-team test today. Everyone is a sports school student, and they are not stupid, usually at this time, the coach must choose someone.

Although in the domestic situation, many times, this step is not available. The coach specified that whoever can play can play. Say who can't, you perform well, and it's hard to get a chance. Therefore, it has caused some chaos such as going through the back door to go through the relationship, giving gift packets, red envelopes, stuffing money, etc.

Coach Zhuang is an athlete, and he has experienced these bad habits and unspoken rules, not to mention that he hates them, but he really doesn't have a good feeling, plus Xie Caiwen, the leader of the drastic reform, is better.

At 10:00 a.m., Coach Zhuang's burly figure appeared on the playground, and Zheng Wei, the assistant coach of the same company, was still holding an anemometer, a starting pistol and other objects.

As for the electric chronograph, there was one before the sports school, and it cost a lot of money to buy it at that time, but it failed a few times, and I couldn't find it if I wanted to find a manufacturer to repair it. Whether there is a procurement department in this is boring, outsiders do not know.

It is said that Xie Caiwen, who is in charge of track and field events, has applied for funding several times, and wants to re-purchase a professional electronic timing and scoring system for track and field competitions.

"Before we start testing, I have a good idea to talk to you beforehand."

The nine members of the sprint team on the playground stood in a row, Zhuang Tao glanced at the documents in his hand, and said solemnly.

"In April, there was a youth track and field invitational tournament in the province, which was held in our province. At that time, Baodao, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the imperial capital and other big cities in China will send people to participate. We also have some places in our sports school, which are mainly focused on the three events of 100m, 200m and 400m. ”

"There's a game?"

The eyes of the players lit up, isn't it just to be able to participate in the competition and make a splash on the field?!

"It seems that there are a lot of competitions this year."

Those who are active and understand the inside story have pondered some of this year's major competitions, among which the Youth Track and Field Invitational Tournament just mentioned by Coach Zhuang is one, inviting youth track and field competitions from across the Taiwan Strait and three places.

Another big competition is the National Middle School Games held in Jinling in August this year, and the career of athletes sometimes depends not only on the level of competitive status, but also on whether they can catch up with the competition.

Especially in the early stage of their careers, the Chinese Games, the Universiade, and the Youth Games, which are generally held every three or four years, many people will miss it because of their age, and yes, they may have just started professional training and their results cannot come out.

If you miss these youth games, you will have to work hard in various national open championships and the National Games, which are extremely competitive and large-scale.

"How many people do you say you will choose this time?" Zhang Quanshan leaned into Su Zu's ear and whispered.

"I don't know." Su Zu shook his head, before he entered the sports school, he was purely a layman, and he had never heard of this kind of youth invitational tournament.

Ordinary people, if they are not particularly focused on various domestic sports events, have never heard of it nine times out of ten. Don't talk about the Youth Invitational Tournament, even if the National Games and Asian Games are not broadcast by TV stations, not too many people will know about them.

"I don't think there will be too many people. This kind of invitational tournament is not good for our sports school ranking, and the number of places will definitely not be too many. Yuan Chengmin, who was on the side, interjected in a low voice, obviously he knew better.

"When everyone has the ability, they will use it, and this quota is best in the hands of a few of us." Zhang Quanshan laughed hesitantly and glanced at Su Zu and Yuan Chengmin.

"Lao Zhuang is good, you don't know, except for our sprint team, the team members who go to the competition are all designated by the coach, where is the test selection."

"What are you guys muttering?" Zhuang Tao had a cold face in front of the team and shouted in the direction of Zhang Quanshan and Su Zu.

"Report to the coach, we're discussing why there aren't 60m and 4X100 relays." He saluted decently, strode out of the column and shouted.

"You living treasure, hippie smiling face every day, get out of the way."

Zhuang Tao raised his foot and wanted to kick, but Zhang Quanshan jumped away flexibly with a cat's waist.

Zhuang Tao didn't care, and reorganized the language, "What kind of competition do you think this is, you can apply for whatever project you want, and you can go to a few people if you want to." It's good if someone can give you an invitation. ”

Zhuang Tao said that the more he seemed to be angry, "Don't think about 60 meters, this is a hot event in the youth competition, and the track and field teams of various sports schools in the province are about to break their heads." The quota given to us is 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters. Hehe, team events such as the 4X100 relay race are also prepared for teams from various big cities. ”

This is the first time Su Zu has heard the inside story of some domestic events, but think about it, ordinary people can't feel how many sports people there are, but if you really count it, there are several sports schools and industrial schools in a county and city, in addition to the athletes of provincial teams and city teams at all levels, and there are some well-known students from key middle schools in the province, how to calculate the scale is not small.

"Be content, it's good to be able to participate. Okay, stop talking nonsense, go warm up first, and in half an hour, start the test. ”

Zhuang Tao said and beckoned to a skinny boy in the team, "That Lin Wenbin, your thigh muscle strain hasn't healed yet, so you won't participate this time, and you will help Coach Zheng test it later." ”

A boy in the group walked out silently, and there was nothing to protest. This Lin Wenbin's boy is actually familiar to everyone, it may be a training attitude problem, he is not very liked by the coach, plus the stride jump training warm-up a few days ago was not enough, the muscle was a little strained, and he was taken off directly.

"It's a bit competitive."

The remaining eight people in the sprint team looked at each other, and the breath in the air was no longer the harmony of the past, but a little silent gunsmoke.

Although they are companions who train together all year round, they are direct competitors at this time. Competitive sports are like this, whether it is a sports school, a professional team, or a national team, before you want to compete with other players on the field, you must first cut down your teammates who train together day and night.

For example, in the high-level National Games and the Olympic Games, there are at most three or four people who can sign up for a project, and how many people are in the professional teams of provinces and cities at all levels for special training of this project, and I don't know how expensive a place to participate in.

At the end of the half-hour warm-up, all the team members began to prepare, change into spikes, check the starting gear and so on.

First there was an internal test of 100 meters, then 200 and 400. The original nine-person sprint team was picked up by Zhuang Tao, just enough to finish in one group.

Su Zu even slandered in his stomach whether Zhuang Tao deliberately took out a person in order to save trouble.

In front of the starting line, the team member named Lin Wenbin held the starting pistol high.

A gunshot rang out, and eight people ran out at the same time.

Before the starting line, Zhuang Tao pressed the stopwatch a few times at the same time after the gunshot, and after the people ran out, he looked at the number on the watch and lowered his head slightly.

He squatted in front of the starting line this time, mainly looking at the starting reaction speed, without electronic timing equipment, he was able to estimate the approximation, but in general, the starting reaction was slow and unsatisfactory.

On the other side, the eight people in the 100-meter test had reached the finish line in a blink of an eye, and assistant coach Zheng Wei was staring at the results of each line.

"Su Zu, the quota for this 100-meter must be yours."

After the 100-meter test, Su Zu ran first, about two positions faster than Zhang Quanshan in second place. Yuan Chengmin's words ran fourth, it is said that the three of them are at the first level in ordinary training, but this team test immediately sprung up, killing the third in the past.

"What's the grade?"

After a while, the team members who participated in the test and the assistant coach in charge of timing returned to the starting line, and Zhuang Tao took his notebook recording data from Zheng Wei and asked casually.

"It's okay." Zheng Wei replied with a smile, "Someone is making too fast progress!" ”

Zhuang Tao opened the book and looked at everyone's results, his eyes widened a few points, 11.21 seconds, which is the result that Su Zu ran in this group just now, and several other Zhuang Tao felt that they ran fast, and the results were all around 11.3 and 11.4 seconds.

Peeling up bonuses such as rubber runway spikes, the improvement from 11.8 seconds to 11.2 seconds in more than two months is amazing enough.

"It seems that this is going to produce talents, Lao Xie has to be embarrassed this time." Zhuang Tao sighed secretly in his heart, and said quietly on the surface, "Rest for 10 minutes, wait for the test of 200 meters." ”

An hour later.

In an office in the office area of Jianping Sports School.

Xie Caiwen sat on the chair behind the desk, put down the test results of the sprint team he had just gotten, and looked at Zhuang Tao, who was sitting on the sofa next to him and making tea, "You have chosen the right person this time?" ”

"The results of the test just ended, there are only three places, what is there to choose, you are the leader, you choose." Zhuang Tao didn't raise his head, still running for tea by himself.

Xie Caiwen smashed his mouth, touched his chin, got up from the chair, and sat opposite Zhuang Tao, "Coach recommendation system, what's the matter with you throwing it to me?" ”

"No, you said you wanted to test it in the team, I just finished the test, didn't I send it to the leader."

"Hey, you're singing red face, you're going, I'll sing black face, Zhuang Tao, you weren't so treacherous before." Xie Caiwen reached out and snatched a cup of freshly poured tea from Zhuang Tao's hand, and then said, "I want to make some changes, since we are competitive sports, we will count by our results, and the previous set of gifts and money should have been put away a long time ago, and I don't look at how many people have been harmed by this set, and how many promising athletes have been delayed over the years." ”

"Huh." Zhuang Tao let out a meaningful laugh from his mouth, took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and said, "Those long-distance running teams under your command, high jump shot put or something, also reported the results of the test this time?" ”

"Report the results? Report a fart! Xie Caiwen said a rare foul language, "I really don't know about some small actions behind my back, I haven't heard much about the ones with the best grades on the list before." ”

"So Lao Xie, I'll send you results, I don't care how you choose people. If you really want to talk about it, you leaders are not doing well, and an invitational tournament held in a province has won so many places. ”

"You don't want to do it, but there are too many great gods, who can afford to offend. Not to mention the teams from other cities, people from Hong Kong and Macao on the treasure island have to occupy a few more places, what can you do. ”

Seeing Zhuang Tao silent, Xie Caiwen didn't want to continue chatting on this topic, so he changed his head and said, "Let's talk about it, there are only a few people in your sprint team, what do you think." ”

"It's just an invitational race, and it's not the National Games of the Chinese Games, just Su Zu 100 meters, Zhang Quanshan 200 meters, 400 meters, you can see whoever you want to go on."

Xie Caiwen nodded imperceptibly, pondered for a while, and sighed lightly, "Yuan Chengmin." ”

"Hehe, Lao Xie, you can't be exempt from vulgarity."
