Chapter 115: His stamina is poor!?
Why did Ashton Eaton look at Feng Quan's strong performance in the first straight stage, and instead of worrying about himself, he was happy? In fact, the answer is very simple, and that is because of the information that Trey Haldy revealed to him about Feng Quan before the start of the game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Eaton's view, even if Feng Quan relied on his speed advantage to recover the gap of nearly 10 meters between the two in the first straight stage, it was impossible for Feng Quan, who had a somewhat weak endurance, to maintain such a rhythm until the end of the race. Not only that, but due to the "excessive force" of the wind in the first half of the 400 meters, it will even lead to physical exhaustion due to the uneven distribution of physical strength before he enters the last 100 meters.
As a result, Feng Quan was not able to set a new personal best in the 400m as he had done in previous events, and the final result was even worse than his previous time in the domestic competition.
"Don't waste any more effort, Chinese boy. I'm going to win this game! ”
Therefore, Feng Quan also "tried his best" to catch up with himself, and the more Eaton felt that he was one step closer to the "final victory".
However, just as Eaton was about 20 meters away and was about to finish the second corner stage and enter the final straight stage, Feng Quan, who was in a state of full acceleration, finally "erased" the gap between himself and Eaton and formed a parallel with it......
――――――
"What!? Did the Chinese kid really catch up? ”
Seeing that Feng Quan, who was on track 7, really caught up, Ashton Eaton's heart couldn't help but be surprised.
However, Etonon is the best decathlon in today's decathlon and has experienced many major competitions, which has given him a wealth of experience in dealing with all kinds of unexpected situations.
"Humph! I'll see how long you can hold out! Because it was already clear that Feng Quan's "stamina was weak", Eton did not make any changes because he was caught up by Feng Quan, but continued to run forward at his previous pace.
In Eaton's opinion, Feng Quan's somewhat weak endurance is simply impossible to support him to cross the finish line at such a speed. All you need to do is keep up with your current rhythm and wait until you're in the final 40 meters, and then sprint with all your might to leave the wind far behind.
However, when Eaton and Feng Quan entered the final straight stage almost at the same time, Eaton's heart became less "calm" than before.
Because the wind at this time did not appear to be "expected" by Eaton, due to the lack of stamina caused by the gradual slowdown, but still maintained the previous speed.
――――――
Feng Quan glanced at the [Timing Ranging] device in front of him, which showed that there were still 70 meters to the finish line.
Then, Feng Quan turned his head to look at Ashton Eaton on his right, on track 7. found that the other party was still so "calm and relaxed" to maintain the previous speed, and ran forward rhythmically.
"Hehe, you really deserve to be called the 'Almighty King'! I'm about to be overtaken, but I'm still so calm. However, your 'calmness' is coming to an end......"
Thinking of this, Feng Quan looked at the [Timing and Ranging] device again, and after seeing that it showed that there was still 50 meters left between himself and the finish line, he turned his head to look at Eaton on track 7 again.
Immediately after, when a sly smile appeared on Feng Quan's face, he used the [Instant Acceleration] skill.
"Goodbye, Eaton! The victory in this game is mine......"
――――――
Seeing that Feng Quan was gradually widening the gap between himself and Ashton Eaton, Trey Haldi, who was sitting in the athletes' waiting area, said to himself: "Hell! When this game is over, that guy at Ashton is going to scold me. Richie, you idiot, did you get this Chinese kid's information from the supermarket? Such a guy, how can you still come to the conclusion that 'stamina is weak'? It seems that after the Olympics, I really need to change the coaches......"
Unlike most coaches and athletes in China's sports industry, in the United States, where sports are highly commercialized, the relationship between well-known athletes like Eton and Hardy and their coaches is nothing more than an employment relationship. Therefore, in many cases, when an athlete feels that his coach is good enough to help him improve his strength, or his strength is declining, he will choose to change his coach.
Therefore, when Haldi found that the information provided by his coach Richie about Fengquan was obviously "inconsistent" with the actual situation, he had the idea of changing coaches.
In fact, Haldy's coach Richie cannot be completely blamed for such a situation.
Because the information that Richie got was all obtained by Feng Quan at the National Track and Field Grand Prix in May, the competition in Tianjin. At that time, Fengquan's stamina was indeed very poor, and the value of the [Endurance] attribute was only 57 points. Even with a combination of two skills, his 400m time was close to 47 seconds.
After the competition ended and he successfully got the ticket to the decathlon, Feng Quan devoted all his time to hard training in the next three months, in addition to participating in the Diamond League Shanghai Station and the finals of the National Track and Field Grand Prix. Moreover, even in those two races, Feng Quan only participated in the 100-meter sprint.
After three months of hard training, as well as the rewards obtained by completing system tasks, the [Endurance] attribute of Feng Quan has reached 65 points of "qualified". Moreover, with the bonuses of the two skills of [Perpetual Heart] and [Viagra], his [Endurance] attribute has been temporarily "pushed" to 78 points.
Richie, who didn't know these specific circumstances, how could he make an accurate assessment of Feng Quan's strength?
But in any case, in today's highly developed information era, there is no doubt that accurate information about competitors is also a must for a qualified coach.
Perhaps, when playing against opponents who are significantly weaker than themselves, information about the opponent does not seem very important. However, once the strength of this competitor is very close to oneself, or even stronger than oneself, it is very important to make a reasonable game strategy based on the opponent's information.
So, when Haldy saw that his friend Eaton, in the final stage of the game, was still thrown farther and farther away by the wind despite trying his best, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey! Ashton, we underestimated the strength of that Chinese kid, ah......" (To be continued.) )
