Chapter 16: Breakthrough
With about 10 minutes left before the official start of the all-around competition in the afternoon, all 21 participating athletes finished their test throws. However www.biquge.info since the start time of the competition has not yet arrived, the contestants returned to the athletes' waiting area and waited for the start of the competition.
Five minutes later, Feng Quan and his friend Zhao Feng, who were in the first two appearances, got up and left the athletes' waiting area and walked in the direction of the shot put competition venue.

When Feng Quan saw the referee signaling that he could start the game, he grabbed a shot put from near the throwing area and walked into the throwing area.
After taking a deep breath, he held the ball in his right hand and pressed it against his right side of his neck.
After completing the ball holding action, the wind is all facing away from the throwing direction, standing in the circle near the back edge, standing with both feet back and forth, about 20-30 cm apart, the right toe is close to the inner edge of the throwing circle, the left leg is behind and naturally bends the ball of the foot or toe to the ground, the upper body is straight and relaxed, the left arm is naturally raised, and the center of gravity of the body falls on the straight right leg.
Then, when Feng Quan's left leg quickly retracted and was about to approach his right leg, he quickly swung out in the direction of the toe board. Then push your right leg hard to move your body in the direction of the throw.
After completing the turning movement, Feng Quan's upper body bends forward slightly. Quickly tuck your right calf under your center of gravity to put your weight on your body and maintain your balance. When the right foot is brought to the center of gravity and lands quickly, the left leg quickly steps back, forming a position before the final exertion.
At the end of the slide, Feng Quan's right foot lands before his left foot. Once your right foot is on the ground, push your right leg forward and push your right hip in the direction of the throw. The upper body gradually lifted up during the rotation, and the left arm and left shoulder were higher than the right shoulder, while Feng Quan kept the shot put in his hand as low as possible.
The next moment, Feng Quan's right leg kicked and stretched out, sending his right hip further in the direction of the throw, and then the right arm quickly and forcefully pushed the ball out.
After the shot put left, Feng Quan quickly bent his legs, lowered his center of gravity, cushioned the forward momentum, maintained his body balance, and prevented fouls from going out of the circle.
At the moment when the shot put left the tip of Feng Quan's right finger, his mouth let out a "Ahhh A roar.
Although roaring can't help athletes improve their performance, for some more extroverted athletes, they are still willing to do it happily in the process of competition. Because, even if such a roar can't improve your performance, it can still boost your self-confidence in the competition to a certain extent. In addition, it can also have a certain psychological deterrent effect on other competitors.

Although in the two races in the morning, Feng Quan's on-the-spot adaptability in the 100m race; and in the long jump event, the standard of completing the action left a deep impression on Coach Yue Wenjun.
However, after Feng Quan completed the whole set of shot put throwing actions very standardly, Coach Yue Wenjun, who was in the stands, still stood up from his seat suddenly. And, while suddenly getting up, he also clenched his fists.
In the afternoon game, Jia Gui, who was sitting behind Yue Wenjun, could even see Yue Wenjun's body trembling slightly.
More than a minute later, when the big screen in the stadium refreshed the score of Feng Quan's first test throw, 12.99 meters (667 points), Yue Wenjun raised his fists high and waved them vigorously into the sky. Because, Yue Wenjun remembers very clearly that before today, Feng Quan's best score in the shot put event was 12.75 meters.
Although the Nanchang International Sports Center, which can accommodate 70,000 spectators, has an attendance rate of less than 6% today, the main stand where Yue Wenjun is located is still full of many coaches and spectators. Many coaches who didn't know about Feng Quan's situation, as well as the majority of the spectators in the main stand, felt a little inexplicable about Yue Wenjun's somewhat radical actions.
"Huh? What's going on with that old guy up front? Why are you so excited? A spectator wearing a red baseball cap sitting not far behind Yue Wenjun turned his head to his friend who had come to watch the game and asked.
"Looks like that guy should be the coach of some of the athletes who are playing on the field. Perhaps, his disciple broke some record......" replied his companion.
"Wouldn't it? There are only preliminaries for the 200m event, and there are also women's high jump and men's decathlon shot put competitions. However, none of these events are the dominant events of Chinese athletes! Needless to say, the world record, even the Asian record is far from the level of Chinese athletes! ”
As soon as Little Red Riding Hood's words fell, an old man of about fifty years old sitting behind him coughed lightly and said, "Young man, you are a little arrogant. ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Little Red Riding Hood and his companions turned their heads to the old man behind them, and there was still a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, the old man smiled and continued: "Although the strength of Chinese track and field athletes in the 200m and men's shot put events is very weak, their strength in the high jump event is still good. Moreover, the Asian record in the men's high jump event is held by Chinese athletes. ”
Listening to the old man's words, "Little Red Riding Hood" scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Hehe, the class has an axe, the class has an axe." But, old man, don't you think there's something strange about that guy's behavior? So far this afternoon, there hasn't been a champion in any event, right? After a pause, Little Red Riding Hood continued: "And there doesn't seem to be any record-breaking happening. Old man, what do you say he is excited about? It's really inexplicable......" As he spoke, Little Red Riding Hood also pointed in the direction of Yue Wenjun.
Since what "Little Red Riding Hood" said was the truth, and the old man didn't know Yue Wenjun, let alone Feng Quan's relevant situation, he didn't know how to answer "Little Red Riding Hood" questions.
However, combined with the situation of the live competition and the experience accumulated from watching the competition for many years, the old man said after a short analysis: "I think that person's disciple should be participating in the women's high jump or the men's all-around shot put competition. The old man coughed lightly again and continued: "Moreover, I analyze that it is more likely that his disciple should be an athlete participating in the women's high jump event. Because the men's all-around shot put competition has just begun, and the first athlete to complete the competition only made a score of 12.99 meters. This kind of achievement is not very good even for middle school athletes engaged in throwing events. Presumably, he wouldn't be so excited about such a result......
Although the old man's analysis was not unreasonable and very logical, he didn't know Yue Wenjun after all, and he didn't know Feng Quan. So there is no way to know the relationship between Yue Wenjun and Feng Quan, as well as the many stories between them. Therefore, his analysis can only be wrong.
The reason why Yue Wenjun is so excited is not just because Feng Quan has improved his best score in the shot put event by 24 centimeters.
Perhaps, for an athlete in the shot put, it is enough to be proud to be able to improve his best score by more than 20 centimeters in an official competition. However, for a professional athlete like Feng Quan, even if he improves his score by 24 centimeters, it is only equivalent to the level of an "excellent middle school shot put".
Therefore, what really excites Yue Wenjun is that in the process of throwing the shot put, Feng Quan's standard degree of completing the whole set of actions almost completely subverts some of Yue Wenjun's previous views on Feng Quan.
After the morning game, Yue Wenjun was happy for Feng Quan's changes and progress in technology and mentality. But it didn't reach the point where he felt excited, because 100 meters and long jump are the two events that Feng Quan is best at, so if he "secretly" trains by himself in normal times, it can't make Yue Wenjun feel too surprised.
However, when Yue Wenjun saw that Feng Quan was not good at it, and even in the shot put event that he had "disliked" before, he had made significant progress in throwing skills, Yue Wenjun's heart felt very surprised and excited!
Looking at Feng Quan, who was walking towards the athlete's waiting area with a smile on his face, Yue Wenjun suddenly felt that the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little moist. "Daquan, it seems that you have really grown up! Daddy's expectations for you are not in vain......"
