At 9 a.m. on June 1, the second day of the men's decathlon at the National Track and Field Championships kicked off again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first 110-meter hurdles competition, because before coming to Kure to compete, only about a week of systematic training, Fengquan's hurdle technique was only able to reach about 8% of the normal level.

Although the score of 14.53 seconds (907) is not too bad, it makes Feng Quan very embarrassed to become the worst one among the three brothers.

In the end, Qi Haifeng and Zhao Feng ranked in the top two of the event with a time of 14.31 seconds (935 points) and 14.51 seconds (910) respectively. And Feng Quan is in third place.

In the next three competitions, in addition to the fact that his strength has been greatly improved, Feng Quan's performance in the discus throw has improved by 20 centimeters compared with last year's London Olympics. In the pole vault and javelin, there has been a certain "regression".

But even so, after the end of the first nine competitions, Feng Quan's 7,960 points are still difficult for other athletes, including his two senior brothers, to match.

With the increasing age, the physical fitness of athletes has gradually shown a downward trend. In the case of the decathlon, which relies heavily on physical fitness, a decline in physical fitness is a sign of a decline in performance.

Therefore, for Qi Haifeng, the "elder brother" who has entered the age of establishment, despite the injury that has plagued him for a long time, it seems that he has completely "broken up" with him. However, with the decline in fitness, his results in this competition have also shown a downward trend compared to last year's London Olympics. This is true even in his best javelin sport.

However, for Qi Haifeng, who can stabilize the results of the 1500-meter event at about 4 minutes and 33 seconds (725 points) in daily training, it is not difficult to get more than 8,200 points after getting 7,627 points after the first nine races.

As for the "second senior brother" Zhao Feng, he is not as optimistic as his two senior brothers.

Although from the beginning of the shot put event, Zhao Feng's performance has returned to the normal state of competition, and even in the 110-meter hurdles, he also relied on his "super-level performance" to "defeat" his junior brother Feng Quan in the 110-meter hurdles for the first time.

However, even so, before the start of the final 1500-meter race, Zhao Feng only scored a total of 7,522 points.

Although, this point has allowed Zhao Feng to lead Zhu Hengjun in fourth place by more than 300 points. However, for him to set his goal at the A standard of the World Championships in Moscow, it is not easy to achieve his goal......

――――――

For Zhao Feng, whose physical endurance is somewhat weak, the best result in the 1500m event was held more than half a month ago, when he set a record of 4:41.23 (673 points) in the Quancheng Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix.

Although in daily training, he also ran under 4 minutes 40 (680) seconds in the 1500m event. However, considering the psychological pressure that athletes need to endure in official competitions, as well as some unexpected situations that may occur in the competition, it is still very difficult to give full play to their full strength in the competition.

Because of this, after the competition of the first 9 competitions, Zhao Feng, who was sitting in the "VIP Athletes' Lounge" with Feng Quan and Qi Haifeng, seemed to want to "give up" his goal in this competition in advance.

Looking at Zhao Feng, who was sitting opposite him at the moment, drooping his head and looking slightly dim, Feng Quan's heart couldn't help but rise with emotion.

Thinking back a few years ago, when Feng Quan did not receive the help of the system, and he had not yet "enlightened" in terms of technology, he watched the "big brother" continue to win the championship in various domestic competitions; And the "second senior brother", who is two years older than him, also relied on his advantages in throwing events and began to emerge in the domestic athletics world, isn't he just as lonely as Zhao Feng at this moment?

Thinking of this, Feng Quan's heart couldn't help but have a thought, he must find a way to help the "second senior brother", so that he can also reach the A standard of the Moscow World Championships. So as to achieve the feat of "three brothers and sisters competing in the World Championships at the same time".

So, Feng Quan stood up from his position, and then sat down on the chair next to Zhao Feng.

"Brother Feng, speaking of which, the three of us brothers have not had the experience of going abroad to compete together." His right arm was on Zhao Feng's shoulder, and Feng Quan said in a relaxed tone.

Looking up at Feng Quan, Zhao Feng said with a "strong spirit": "Alas! I'm afraid it's choking again this year......"

Hearing this, Qi Haifeng, who was originally recuperating with his eyes closed and recovering his strength, also slowly walked to Zhao Feng's side and encouraged: "Don't say that, Xiaofeng. You're just less than 680 points off now, and you're still hopeful of doing it. ”

"Big brother is right, maybe you can do it with all your might." Feng Quan also echoed.

"Thank you two for your encouragement, and I know you're all doing it for my good." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhao Feng said helplessly. "But I know very well that it is too difficult to run under 4 minutes and 40 seconds in my current state......

In fact, it is not that Zhao Feng does not have a score of less than 4 minutes and 40 seconds, but because he is a little lacking in confidence at this time. After all, even more than half a month ago, when my physical and mental state were good, I couldn't run within 4 minutes and 41 seconds in the race, let alone now?

However, just as Zhao Feng was about to bury his head in his chest again, Feng Quan suddenly said in a serious tone: "With all due respect, I really don't know now, is the person sitting next to me the Zhao Feng I know?" ”

After a pause, looking at Zhao Feng's eyes full of doubts, Feng Quan continued: "The Zhao Feng I know is a handsome and sunny guy who is full of positive energy all the time. Even if you know you can't do it, you will never give up easily. But now, it's a little unrecognizable to me. ”

Although he knew very well in his heart that the wind was all about motivating himself to say this. But even so, it still made Zhao Feng's heart a little uncomfortable. After all, the reality is there, and not everyone is like Feng Quan, who, with the help of the system, "casually talked" about wanting to break the world record, and then after a period of time, he did it as if it were "natural".

Zhao Feng turned his head to look at Feng Quan beside him, and said with a smile on his face: "Alas! Daquan, I won't blame you for whatever you say. Because I know you're saying that to inspire me. ”

After a pause, the expression on Zhao Feng's face darkened again. "However, I'm afraid Brother Feng is going to disappoint you. I'm in such a state of mind that I don't even believe that I can get another 680 points. ”

Hearing this, Qi Haifeng patted Zhao Feng's shoulder and said, "Don't think about Xiaofeng like that." Remember what you said when you saw us off at the airport before I went to London with Daquan for the Olympics last year? ”

Although Zhao Feng did not speak, Feng Quan beside him answered Qi Haifeng on his behalf.

"What you said at the time was: I expect you to create your own miracles." After a pause, Feng Quan patted Zhao Feng's shoulder vigorously and continued: "But now, it's your turn to create your own miracle, Brother Feng." ”

"But ......"

Before Zhao Feng could finish speaking, Feng Quan immediately interrupted: "There is nothing to do." I've now scored almost 8,000 points, and with no way to breaking the world record, the result in the last race doesn't really mean anything to me. So Brother Feng, I am willing to help you run into 4 minutes and 40 seconds in the final 1500 meters......"

――――――

Due to the sudden light rain in the sky, some spectators in the stands of the Wu Sports Center Stadium chose to leave the stadium early.

However, the two Yankees sitting in the front row of the main stand had no intention of leaving early.

"Hey, Chris, I don't think there's going to be anything wrong with Ashton's 'revenge plan.'" Dennis Mitchell wiped a handful of water droplets from his head and said to Chris Quinn next to him with a smile.

"NO, NO, NO, IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY THAT." Waving his hand, Chris Quinn said "pretending to be modest", "Even if it's 'revenge', it will have to wait until Ashton successfully gets a ticket to the World Championships in Moscow at the National Trials." ”

Giving Chris Quinn a blank look, Dennis Mitchell teased, "Okay, Chris." With Ashton's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the national tryouts, right? ”

Hearing this, Chris Quinn said with a smile: "If there are no accidents, there should be no problem." ”

Glancing at the points of the players after the first nine events of the men's decathlon were shown on the big screen in the stadium, Dennis Mitchell said with some arrogance: "Alas! The strength of the Chinese is really weak enough, and only three people exceeded 7500 points at the end of the first 9 competitions. And the Chinese kid who defeated Ashton last year seems to have 'regressed' a lot compared to last year. ”

After flipping through his notebook and looking up at the big screen in the stadium, Chris Quinn smiled and said, "That's right. So far, with the exception of the shot put, 400m and discus, the boy's performance has regressed compared to last year's Olympics. In terms of points, it is 270 points less than last year. ”

"Haha, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to cause any trouble for Ashton in Moscow in August." Dennis Mitchell patted his old friend on the shoulder and said.

Although it seems that Feng Quan's results are not very "ideal" at the moment, years of coaching experience have taught Chris Quinn that he cannot be blindly optimistic now. After carefully checking the contents of the notebook again, Chris Quinn said with a little seriousness: "That's right, that kid's results in the three jumping events are not ideal. However, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he didn't have systematic athletics training for a long time after he switched to football. There is no guarantee that he will arrive in Moscow more than two months later, and he will still be in the same bad condition as he is now. ”

"There's nothing wrong with you saying that, though. But no matter what, everyone's energy is still limited. Dennis Mitchell shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think that kid is almost exhausted after playing in the Bundesliga for more than half a season. So I don't think he'll be able to get back to where he was at last year's Olympics in just over two months. ”

"I hope so...... Although I have always believed that Ashton is the best track and field athlete in the world. However, the strength of that Chinese kid is still enough to cause some trouble in the game. Chris Quinn said worriedly.

"Well, in twenty minutes, the 1,500-meter race will begin." After a pause, Dennis Mitchell continued: "Look at what kind of performance that kid can do in this project, you can probably see how tired he is......"

――――――

At 18:30 p.m., with the starting gun at the start of the 1500m, the last 1500m race in the men's decathlon finally began.

Since there were only 21 athletes in total, they signed up to compete in the decathlon at the National Athletics Championships. At the same time, six athletes have been "eliminated" in the first nine competitions (two in the high jump, three in the pole vault, and one in the 1500m because he finished last in the first nine events). Therefore, the organizing committee integrated the athletes who were supposed to be divided into two groups to compete in the 1500m event.

Because before the start of the race, he promised to help the second senior brother run within 4 minutes and 40 seconds, so as to reach the A standard of 8200 points in the Moscow World Championships. Therefore, Feng Quan did not run at his own pace as usual, but in order to match Zhao Feng's physical strength, he chose to "suppress" his own speed, and "led" the second senior brother to move forward steadily in the "team of laggards".

After the first 400 meters, it was found that the time was less than 1 minute 08 seconds (1 minute 07 seconds 87) through the time wind displayed on the [Timing and Ranging] device.

So while maintaining the rhythm of his feet, he whispered to the second senior brother who was "carried" by him: "Brother Feng, can you still keep up with such a rhythm?" ”

In order to avoid unnecessary physical exertion, Zhao Feng did not speak, but only nodded affirmatively. After seeing the other party's response, Feng Quan continued to run forward according to the established rhythm.

Then, after every 400 meters, Feng Quan would ask Zhao Feng about it. Then, according to the feedback given by the "second senior brother", he set his own running rhythm.

In this way, Zhao Feng finished the first 1,200 meters under the "lead" of Feng Quan. At this time, they took less than 3 minutes and 30 seconds (3:29.91).

As a result, based on the previous average of one lap every 70 seconds, with only the last 300 meters remaining, it should be possible to complete the race in less than 4 minutes and 40 seconds......
