Chapter 116: New Expectations
When Feng Quan entered the second corner stage and gradually narrowed the gap between himself and Ashton-Eaton, Yue Wenjun and Liu Jianjun, who were sitting in the stands, showed excitement on their faces almost at the same time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With years of coaching experience, Yue Wenjun and Liu Jianjun have a good understanding of all kinds of dynamics in the world sports world. In particular, the understanding of the world's top athletes such as Bolt and Eton is even more familiar.
Especially in the sprint track event, Eton, a sprinter, has almost never faced an opponent of equal strength in the decathlon before his debut. In the 400m event, there is hardly any opponent after the 250m who can keep up with the rhythm of Eaton. And this is one of the important reasons why Eaton is called "monster" by other athletes.
Therefore, Eaton has never lost to any opponent in the 100m and 400m events of the decathlon in the previous years of the World Championships, and Yue and Liu are naturally very clear.
So, when Yue Wenjun and Liu Jianjun saw that Feng Quan was still about 20 meters away and was about to end the second corner stage, they actually caught up with Eaton and stood up from their positions excitedly. Moreover, he also shouted "very tacitly": "Daquan, well done!" ”
And when Feng Quan entered the final straight stage, Liu Jianjun subconsciously glanced at the timer in his hand.
"What's the grade?" Yue Wenjun asked.
"36 seconds (45)." Liu Jianjun replied.
"Well, the results are not bad, at this speed should be able to refresh ......" Yue Wenjun originally wanted to say: "It should be able to refresh his personal best in the 400m event".
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw that Feng Quan suddenly accelerated his speed as if he had participated in the 100-meter flyer decisive battle three days ago and entered the sprint stage......
"Hey! Daquan, this kid, is muddy again! It's not a 400-meter single final, just give full play to your strength, why dare that Yankee. ”
In Yue Wenjun's view, Feng Quan's "sprint" at this time was undoubtedly because of his youth and vigor, which led to the "competition" between him and Eaton.
"You sprint just over 30 meters in this straight stage (the length of the straight in the 400m race is 84.39 meters), and if you run out of energy at the end, you still have to be overtaken by the Yankee......
However, just when Yue Wenjun was worried that Feng Quan's speed and endurance would not be enough to support him to run the remaining distance at his current speed, he was surprised to find that Feng Quan on the track did not show the signs of "slowing down" as he expected, and just kept crossing the finish line at the speed of "sprinting......
――――――
Even if he was overtaken by the wind, Ashton Eaton, as the "king of all-arounds", did not change much on his face, and continued to move towards the finish line according to the rhythm set before the race.
However, when Eaton saw that Feng Quan was less than 50 meters away from the finish line, instead of the "physical exhaustion" he expected, he "ran faster and faster", even Eaton, who had a big heart, couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
"Humph! Even if I can't beat you for more than a second, I can't lose to you! The next moment, I saw that the speed under Eaton's feet had significantly accelerated.
And as Eaton quickened his pace, the look of surprise on his face disappeared without a trace. Instead, a look of firmness and confidence that belongs only to the strong.
But unfortunately, the firmness and confidence on Eaton's face only lasted less than three seconds, and then it was destroyed by the impact of cruel reality.
At that time, Eaton was trying his best to catch up, but he still couldn't narrow the gap between himself and Feng Quan.
So, when Eaton was still seven or eight meters away from the finish line, he finally fell on the track because of the double pressure of impatience and the unwilling mentality of "faster, I don't want to lose ......".
"Hey! Am I really just losing? I'm really unwilling......"
Luckily, Eaton was close to the finish line and more than 10 metres ahead of third-placed German athlete Riko Ferms.
So, after stumbling a few steps, Eaton crossed the finish line second after the wind......
――――――
When Feng Quan was the first to cross the finish line, Liu Jianjun pressed the timer in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, when Liu Jianjun saw the results on the timer, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "45 seconds 63!?" ”
As soon as Liu Jianjun's words fell, Yue Wenjun, who was sitting beside him, also set his eyes on the timer in his hand. Then I saw his eyes widen in shock.
Although it won't be long before the big screen at the scene will announce the results of the 400-meter race, Liu Jianjun, who was a little anxious, still asked Yue Wenjun, who was shocked next to him: "Brother Yue, what are your scores?" ”
Yue Wenjun just handed the timer in his hand to Liu Jianjun, but he didn't speak.
After seeing the timer handed to him by Yue Wenjun showing a score of 45.62 seconds, Liu Jianjun affirmed that his timing was accurate.
With Liu Jianjun and Yue Wenjun's nearly 20 years of teaching experience, it is impossible to make mistakes in the same game at the same time. Therefore, the hand time of 45.63 seconds will not exceed 45.85 seconds at most.
Therefore, when Liu Jianjun "confirmed" Feng Quan's results, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face......
――――――
Why was Liu Jianjun surprised by such an achievement? Was it just because the wind had defeated Eaton? However, Eaton's personal best in the 400 event was around 45.20 seconds, and the wind beat Eaton, who was not in the best form, and it didn't seem like there was anything to surprise about.
However, when you know that the men's 400m champion at the 2009 National Games was only 46.02 seconds, and the national record in this event was only 45.25 seconds, how would you feel?
Because of the previous experience of guiding Feng Quan to strengthen the 100-meter sprint technique, Liu Jianjun suddenly had an idea in his mind: Feng Quan, who specializes in decathlon, is only 18 years old this year, and it only took more than half a year for his 100-meter performance to reach a height of 9.60 seconds. In the 400m event, he did not receive "special guidance", but he still ran a time of about 45.80 seconds. If he were asked to intensify his practice in the 400m event, as he had done in the previous 100m event, how far could he have improved his performance?
Although the wind is full now, the cornering technique in the 400-meter race has improved a little compared to last year's City Games. However, in the battle with Eaton just now, it is not difficult to see that Fengquan's cornering technology still has room for improvement.
Even if Feng Quan can't snatch the title of "King of Sprints" from Usain Bolt as he did in the 100m event, he should at least dominate Asia with his talent......
So, thinking of this, Liu Jianjun seemed to have seen Feng Quan, and the gratifying scene of climbing the 400-meter podium in the Asian competition in the future...... (To be continued.) )
