Chapter 256: Post-Match Interview

"Chen, now is not the time to be happy."

After Ye Qin was the first to cross the finish line, Randy Hunter couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at Chen Zhongzhou's excited face beside him.

An Osaka Grand Prix, and without too many strong competitors, Yechin won the Grand Prix, and there was nothing special to celebrate for Randy Hunter.

And in this game, Yechin's performance and final results, in Randy Hunter's opinion, always felt that it was not so perfect.

"What's wrong, Coach Randy?"

Chen Zhongzhou looked at Randy Hunter's calm expression, and he couldn't quite understand it.

Just when Yechin entered the straight, Randy Hunter also shouted excitedly, "That's how to run!" But when he turned his head, he didn't seem to see any joy on his face.

It is not that Chinese athletes are not able to participate in the IAAF Grand Prix, but at this point in time, there are really not many athletes who can participate in the competition and win the championship.

In addition to Liu Yangyu's men's 110-meter hurdles, the only events that can really compete in various Grand Prix are women's middle-distance running and women's shot put.

There are not many athletes participating in the IAAF Grand Prix Super Grand Prix due to the training method, and even if they do, they cannot be said to win the championship.

In the real sense, the beginning of international competitions is the norm, and the Chinese track and field event really started by Liu Yangyu.

For Chen Zhongzhou, it is quite exciting for Ye Qin to emerge in the men's sprint sprint event for the second time after Liu Yangyu.

"This championship is very good, and it is really a good start for Ye Qin's next matches, but the rhythm of this group of matches is not too good." Randy Hunter said unceremoniously.

"Huh?" Chen Zhongzhou looked up at Randy Hunter, and for a moment he didn't know that this American coach, who had always been cheerful and casual, seemed to have suddenly become much more serious.

"Ye Chin's rhythm was taken off a bit by several Japanese athletes in the first half of the race, and he couldn't fully play it, and he should be able to run better in the first half of the race." Randy Hunter continued, "Chen, as a coach, you need to be calm and restrained in a game at this level and see from the game why your athlete is running this problem. ”

In this men's 400-meter race, Ye Qin was in the third lane, but from the start, perhaps because the first half of the Japanese athletes were not too fast, Ye Qin after his training, the first half of the race, which had been significantly improved, slowed down again. In Randy Hunter's opinion, there was not even a previous national track and field franchise competition, and Ye Qin had no opponent who could grasp the rhythm and run comfortably on his own.

Fortunately, in the second half of the game, Yechin may have sensed the position of Alleyne Francia and regained his stability. And there is also a big factor in this, which is that Alaine Francia was careless, the speed in the first half was too high, and he did not speed up, so he was exploited by Yechin.

In Randy Hunter's opinion, if Randy Hunter and Yechin were placed in the next row in the 400 meters, the two would have run better in the end.

Hearing Randy Hunter say this, Chen Zhongzhou gradually calmed down a little, and felt a little ashamed in his heart for a while.

He wanted to learn from Randy Hunter, but after the athlete came on the court, his heart fluctuated and he couldn't calm down to look at the problems of Yechin's match.

The meaning of the so-called "training by competition, training while playing", the perspective of the coach cannot be like the Olympic and World Championships, but it is necessary to seriously analyze the state of the athletes through these competitions.

If you can't summarize the gains and losses, it is not enough to look at these games from the perspective of athletes.

……

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

On the track near the men's 400-meter finish line, several athletes who had finished the 400-meter race walked towards Yechin one after another, first the men's 400-meter was favored by the outside world, and there was almost no suspense about winning the championship.

Even though there is some resentment and regret in her heart, Allen-Francia knows her own family affairs, and she still underestimates the enemy, so she can't blame others.

For a veteran who competed in the '96 and '04 Olympics and the '01 and '03 World Championships, the strength of an Osaka Grand Prix was unexpected, but when the race was over, it was already in the past. This is still an athlete's demeanor.

walked up to Ye Qin and hugged him gently, expressing congratulations and congratulations.

Later, several other Japanese athletes came forward to congratulate them, and in terms of athletic quality, Japanese athletes are far superior to South Korea, and even in front of many audiences in their own countries, they have not shown any temper and hostile attitude.

"Ye Qinjun, your ability in the second half of the journey is very strong, if you have the opportunity, you will often come to Japan to train and exchange together."

This was said by Japanese veteran Jun Kosakata, born in 1974, who had a personal best of 45.16 seconds and helped the Japanese relay team finish fourth in the men's 4×400m event last year.

Ye Qin doesn't know much about Japanese athletes, but in the last men's 4×400m relay race at the Athens Olympics, he has seen the performance of the other party, and in the sprint event, whether it is men's 1200 meters or 400 meters, Japan at this time surpasses domestic athletes in terms of overall strength and individual top-notch.

Then, Ye Qin and his age, known as Japan's new generation of "400 meters king" Kanemaru Yuzo simply exchanged a few words, many Japanese athletes can speak English, although the accent is a little weird, but it does not prevent Ye Qin from having a simple conversation with them.

Ye Qin also felt a completely different competitive atmosphere from the past, and competitions such as the Grand Prix meant much more for Chinese and Japanese athletes to emphasize their own improvement, or to meet the top players of other countries, and see the world.

Compared with track and field competitions, more attention is paid to the athletes' own things, and I don't want large-scale competitions such as the Olympic Games, World Championships, and Asian Games, and individuals will carry the halo of starting up and fighting for the country.

"Ye Chin, wait a minute!"

Just as Ye Qin left the track and field and walked to the sidelines, he suddenly saw several media blocking in front of him.

Ye Qin stopped, and he clearly saw the identity signs of the reporters standing in front of him, which were all domestic newspapers and online media.

He is no stranger to post-match interviews.

After the men's 200 meters of the Olympic Games, the CCTV reporter who accompanied him at that time had a brief interview with him, but later it seemed that only a few words were briefly mentioned in the newspaper, and no one mentioned it.

In addition, this year's Indoor Track and Field Championships Shenghai Station and Yanjing Station, someone simply asked a few words, when Zhaoqing City broke the men's 400-meter national record, several local media in Zhaoqing City also briefly said a few words.

In this regard, when Nie Fangping took him in the past, although he participated in the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships, there were basically no reporters with the team at that time, and a lot of news was transmitted back to China by the staff, and then he was not famous and failed to attract much attention.

Since the Olympics, to this year's competitions, the media attention has gradually increased, and Ye Qin was not surprised that someone wanted to interview him again, and answered a few questions very cooperatively.

Most of the interview questions are the same, there is nothing special, what is asked is personal feelings, why can you run such a result, whether you are in a particularly good state this time, etc.

Ye Qin basically answered decently, but what seemed a little surprising was a reporter's question, "What did he think of him when he and Liu Yangyu were listed as track and field twin stars in China?" ”

Ye Qin was slightly stunned when he heard this question, the media has reported more about him recently, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to make such a name.

waved his hand again and again and said, "Brother Yang Yu and I are far from each other in terms of personal achievements and honors, I am too highly praised, and in a few years, when my achievements and honors are worthy of this title, I will accept it." ”

Many reporters interviewed immediately laughed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see very clearly that even though Ye Qin now holds two domestic sprint national records, Ye Qin has not made much achievements in the world, and it is obvious that some peers are hyping up and taking advantage of the wind and waves.

Since 2001, Liu Yangyu has participated in many IAAF events on a large scale, such as Grand Prix, Super Grand Prix, Golden League, and even the Golden League in 04, etc., it can be said that before the Athens Olympics, Liu Yangyu has already emerged internationally.

It's just that the men's 110-meter hurdles event was not popular at that time, and there were few reports in China, and for many ordinary people, it felt like jumping out of a stone.

In fact, athletes in most of the sports may have been famous before, but it is difficult to say that they are famous until they win the Olympic championship. Of course, football and basketball players are different, and many of them play abroad to form a huge influence.

Ye Qin knows very well in his heart that the reason why he is gradually getting noticed by the media now is that on the one hand, his talent and achievements are not bad, but more importantly, it is still because Liu Yangyu rekindled the track and field project, and at the same time, there is a promotion to hold the Yenjing Olympics in a few years, so the media gradually focused on him.

In terms of influence and achievements, he is still far from qualified compared with Liu Yangyu now.

However, many reporters present heard Ye Qin say that they would accept the title when their results deserved it, and many people couldn't help but cheer and sigh for the young athlete's courage. Chinese track and field, male athletes have been aggrieved for so long, and they are finally going to come out!

……

May 10th.

Liu Yangyu and coach Sun Chaosheng and other staff members were transferred back to Shenghai by plane, and their itinerary was to go back to Shenghai for a rectification and rest, Liu Yangyu had business activities to attend, and then he would go to Oregon in the United States.

Ye Qin did not accompany him this time, under the leadership of Randy Hunter, the American coach, he and Chen Zhongzhou, Zhuang Wei and several staff members directly transferred from Japan and flew directly to the United States first.
