"In today's preliminaries, Ye Qin will not play, and our four most important goals are to qualify for the finals!"

The next day, August 31, is the last day of August, the seventh day of the World Championships.

Early in the morning, in a stadium not far from the Chinese team hotel, Yuan Guohua stood in front of the runway, looking at Yang Yao, Wen Yongyi, Gu Kai, Zhang Peimeng, Pang VIP and Su Bingtian, and said with a very solemn expression.

"After the 200m final yesterday, Ye Qin came back and communicated with me, he thought he could participate in today's 4×100m preliminaries, but I refused, do you know why?" Yuan Guohua asked again.

Yang Yao, Gu Kai, and Pang VIP were all silent and did not speak, anyway, Zhang Pei Meng replied on the side: "Ye Qin is too tired!" ”

Since the start of the World Championships, Ye Qin has been playing every day without a single respite. The 100m and 200m ran four races each, and the 400m also ran two preliminaries and semifinals.

Moreover, he won the championship in both the 100m and 200m competitions, making it one of the few athletes in history who can win the 100m and 200m double championships in the World Championships. In addition, he also qualified for the final in the 400m event.

Not to mention the problem of physical fitness, it is enough to make many athletes unable to maintain their best physical condition and make major mistakes.

"Yes, Brother Qin should be too hard, the intensity of the competition is too great these days." On the other side, the young Su Bingtian also echoed, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Ye Chin's performance in the past few days has completely conquered the two youngest athletes in the current relay team, and they dare not imagine how Ye Qin can do it under such a dense schedule and pressure.

It takes a very strong heart, and the two of them are thrilled to think about their appearance in a stadium with tens of thousands of people, let alone playing in such a market and using their absolute strength to defeat other world-class opponents.

Ye Qin, that is a legend that can be seen and touched among athletes of their generation, and the legend continues.

In the hearts of the two, Ye Qin's status has far surpassed that of Liu Yangyu, who is almost about to achieve a grand slam.

"How can I say it......" Yuan Guohua groaned slightly before he slowly spoke, "Actually, you all know that if Ye Qin runs the fourth stick today, as long as there are no major mistakes, our men's 4×100m has a great chance of advancing to tomorrow's final." Don't talk about physical fitness at this point, the fourth stick of 4×100 meters is 80 or 90 meters, I believe Ye Qin is fine. But ......"

Yuan Guohua said that the end of the note dragged on a little long, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he paused before continuing: "However, I rejected Ye Qin's proposal to be able to participate in the preliminaries.

Not to mention that he has a 400-meter final today, will running the relay affect his performance in the 400-meter, even as the head coach of the relay team, I don't want to agree. The relay is a collective event, and it cannot be led by a world-class top fourth baseman, and it can be won. The 4×100m is a competition in which four people work together, and it is the only two collective events in track and field, and I believe that none of you will be willing to rely on Ye Qin, so tonight cheer me up to qualify for the finals and prove yourself! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" Six people on the field answered in unison.

"That's good! Warm up first, then do a handover training, don't run long distances today, and stay fit! ”

Yuan Guohua clapped his palms, looking at the six people with high morale, and his heart swelled with heat.

After the six relay team members got on the track and started to warm up, Li Qi, the assistant coach who had been standing aside, walked up and said with a slight smile: "Lao Yuan, you didn't let Ye Qin play in the preliminaries tonight, there are a lot of risks, if you can advance to the finals, it's okay to say, if you can't advance, it is estimated that you will be under great pressure after returning to China." ”

Li Qi is the director of the sports department of Mizuki University, and is also a member of the coaching staff of the national track and field team, in the relay team Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng are his athletes, since the sprint team put forward the strategy of "relay to drive individual events", he began to work with Yuan Guohua to help the other party improve the level of the national team's 4× 100-meter relay event.

"There's definitely a risk." Yuan Guohua glanced at the team members who were already running laps from a distance, and his expression became a little solemn, "But this is a process that can't be helped, the players have not been under such pressure before, this World Championships is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if tonight's preliminaries, they can really play their level and qualify, we may have more confidence in next year's Olympic Games." ”

As the head coach of the Chinese relay team, Yuan Guohua is very ambitious for the Chinese men's 4×100m relay event at this World Championships, which is currently the era with the most talents in China's sprint events, even if Ye Qin is not to mention, that is, other veteran team members can be 10 seconds 2, 10 seconds 3 or so 10 meters level, as long as they fully play their strength and level, for tonight's World Championships men's 4×100m relay preliminaries, there is still a good hope to win the final qualification.

"That's what you said." Li Qi bowed slightly, he naturally understood Yuan Guohua's thoughts, but Ye Qin didn't play tonight, he was really going to lose, Yuan Guohua still had him, and even the entire relay team would be under a lot of pressure from inside and outside.

You don't need to have a world champion, you have to use the other players. At this point, when it comes to the cusp, many media or the public will not reason with you.

Even if everyone knows that Ye Qin is going to participate in the men's 400m final today, he has already experienced many competitions before, and his body is already a little tired at this time.

But some people are like this, on the one hand, they will scold you for catching such a top player as Ye Qin, and they can use it vigorously. On the one hand, when you really let him rest, he will say that you have no eyes, and you have hole cards but you discard them.

"We still have to take a long-term view, the new generation of athletes is growing up, with Ye Qin breaking a path in front, the mood of the later players is different."

Yuan Guohua said with a smile on his face at some point, and pointed to two of the few people who were running laps, "Zhang Peimeng you brought, and Su Bingtian I brought back from Guangdong Province, the talented disciples of both of them are very good, and they are different from other players of the previous generation." Watching Ye Qin repeatedly break the Asian 100-meter record and win the championship in the World Championships, his heart also rose. It will no longer be the previous batch that can only be horizontal in the country. ”

Both of them are veteran coaches and have a thorough view of domestic track and field. In the early years, it was not that there were no good seedlings in China, but there were also more than one billion people. It's just that at that time, due to factors such as training methods, the level of athletes reached a certain level, and it was basically difficult to go abroad, even in Asia, they often hit a wall.

On the one hand, it is the means of training, and on the other hand, it is also a problem of the ceiling that everyone can see.

However, all kinds of experts at home and abroad are unanimously saying that it is impossible for you to run into 10 seconds, it is impossible to run into 20 seconds, and it is impossible for you to win against black players.

The reason why Yang Yao, an athlete from Shenghai, is particularly valued is that he is one of the few players who can not be satisfied with himself and dare to improve himself before Liu Yangyu and Ye Qin.

Now, with Ye Qin's example in front of him, the latecomers are obviously able to set higher goals, and will no longer regard the previous national 100-meter record of 10.17 seconds as a moat, but will all regard the 10-second mark as the goal.

In the track and field, after a lap of warm-up, everyone stood on the track and began to continue stretching and preparation.

Yang Yao let out a long breath, stood in front of a few people, looked at the few people behind him and said: "Everyone knows how important tonight's 4×100 meters is, only four of the six of us are on the field, no matter which four are on the field, I hope everyone can do their best and go all out!"

The relay event is a collective event, Ye Qin has won two gold medals, and tonight's 400 meters may have a good result, so many of us can't all be wasted because of the lack of Ye Qin.

At the World Championships in '03, I also participated in the 4×100m relay, it was a one-day trip, and we had been preparing for several months, and five or six athletes flew from Yanjing to Paris, and they ran one run. This time I don't think you'll think we're a day trip? ”

Yang Yao, as the big brother of the track and field team, even after the rise of Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu, his prestige in the entire track and field team is still very high.

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"We're going to the finals!"

Voices came out of the mouths of a few people who were still panting.

It looks like something formalistic, but in a small team, a team that fights side by side, it has always been like this, grinding and motivating each other.

"Then everyone will be in the best shape." Yang Yao said in a deep voice, his fists clenched, "We are going to enter the finals, we have entered the finals, Ye Qin will run the fourth stick at that time, everyone knows Ye Qin's level, and when he is on the field, you know how much our results can be improved." Coach Yuan's goal is to make us advance to the finals, and my goal is to get the cards!

We have to win a medal at this year's World Championships, and we have to win a medal at next year's Olympics. We don't have to participate in individual events, and we can't go to the final if we participate, but relay, relay can! ”

Off the field, Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian clenched their teeth, and the muscles of their bodies that had just warmed up seemed to be tense again at this time.

In tonight's finals, Zhang Peimeng has already confirmed that he will play, and Su Bingtian, as a player from the reserve team, has a low probability of playing, but specifically, it is not without a chance.

But in fact, it doesn't play, everyone has a fiery heart in their hearts at this time.

There is one person who has overcome obstacles in the individual event, achieved unprecedented results for Chinese sprinters, and set a series of records, as his teammates, as a member of the relay team, we must not be too bad!

"Come on, everyone!" Yang Yao took a deep breath, clapped his hands, and shouted sincerely to several people again.

"Come on!"
