Chapter 299: Something Missing
"What's the situation just now, your front is so slow?"
As soon as Ye Qin got off the court, he saw Randy Hunter waiting there in the mixed aisle area, looking a little serious, obviously dissatisfied with Ye Chin's performance in the rematch.
Ye Qin's breathing was slightly short, and he shook his head, "Maybe it's still a little tight, the weather is cold, and the speed is not enough!" ”
Randy Hunter frowned, "You have three races today, and if you don't want to give up the 400m, you have one tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you have to be mentally prepared." With such a dense schedule, I originally thought that your physical strength could handle it, but now it seems that this weather still has a lot of impact on you. ”
Since arriving in Helsinki, Randy Hunter has rarely spoken about Yechin's game, but he has been silently observing from the sidelines, very meticulous, in the preliminaries, Yechin's results are not much different from the rematch, but in that preliminaries, he can clearly see that Yechin's speed in the first half is sufficient, and the second half is even more comfortable, making a lot of reservations.
And in this rematch, Ye Qin obviously made a lot of mistakes in the first half of the race, although this mistake was not a slippage under the starting feet, but the speed was not sufficient, and it was obvious that Ye Qin was affected by the cold weather.
Fang Cai's score reached a headwind of -1.9 m/s, and the impact on the runners was obvious, the key is that after such a rainy weather and wind, it was very uncomfortable for the runners to run, and it was easy to get cold after a long warm-up before the race.
"It's me who is a little unprepared." Yechin also had the answer to Randy Hunter's question.
In today's rematch, because he had three games, he made a lot of reservations during the indoor warm-up, mainly because he was afraid of wasting too much physical energy.
Like the warm-up of players in large-scale events, it takes half an hour or more than an hour, but because there are three games today, Ye Qin's warm-up time cannot be said to be short, but he himself feels that he has not done his best.
In order to save physical energy, the body's running warm-up seemed to be a little insufficient, and then after the game, as soon as the cold wind blew, the running body was a little tight, so that he was not able to accelerate smoothly in the first half.
Fortunately, he is a rider who has excelled in the second half of the race, and others have been affected as well, such as the Finnish athlete Tommy Hatton in lane eight, who ran 20.59 seconds yesterday, and after this group entered the straight, the speed dropped almost in a straight line, and the final time was only 21.54 seconds, almost a second slower than his preliminaries.
"Ye Chin, I don't want to interfere with your choice, although this is not what a coach should do, I would prefer that you can achieve something in both the men's 200m and the men's 400m. One of the reasons and characteristics that moved me to coach you in the first place was that you won medals in both the World Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships. ”
Randy Hunter looked at Yechin and seemed to recognize his shortcomings, and his voice softened slightly, "But you yourself should be more prepared, you are participating in the World Championships, which is the most important track and field event, think about the medals, the championship." You once said that if you want to be the best athlete, then you should have the strongest emotion of an athlete, and that is the dedication to the championship. ”
As he spoke, Randy Hunter's voice suddenly paused, and he glanced at the athletes who were walking past him one after another, and at this moment, a sturdy black man passed by the two of them. It was Jax Thering, who saw Randy Hunter talking to Yechin, and his eyes looked at Yechin again.
Ye Qin felt the other party's gaze, turned his head to look over, and for a moment, he felt the heavy hostility in Jax Thelin's eyes, naked and undisguised.
It wasn't until Jax Thelin left that Randy Hunter spoke again, "See? Our Olympic champion just looked at you in the eyes. ”
"He was hostile to me."
"That's right, this is it." Randy Hunter nodded, and continued, "He's an Olympic champion, but in the rematch, at the last minute, he was overtaken by you and Christopher Williams.
He just finished third, and although it didn't affect his promotion, he was full of hostility towards you at this moment, why? This is an athlete's insanely strong dedication to the championship. You have influenced him, he is the one who wants to win the 200m championship, but in this group of semi-finals, the qualifying place that he originally held Zhizhu was overtaken by you in the end, and there is a risk that he will be out of control, and he will be hostile to you and regard you as an opponent.
Ye Chin, there is only one champion, and if you want to move forward, you need to overcome everyone who stands in front of you.
An athlete's desire for the championship can be seen in his eyes, that kind of strong, self-sacred, must be done, desperate! You may have had, but now, you don't.
Can you see what I mean? ”
Ye Qin was silent for a long time, and for a moment he recalled the way Jax Thelin looked at him, and what Randy Hunter said, and his heart fluctuated for a while.
"Think about it."
Randy Hunter shook his head and said another word, turning and walking away slowly.
As he got to know Ye Qin better, especially at the World Championships, when faced with the choice of two events, he gradually saw a personality problem in Ye Qin.
That is, lack of self-confidence!
Although at the same age level, Ye Qin is already one of the top players, if it is in the United States, Ye Qin's age, athletes with such achievements, now almost all of them will be inflated and arrogant, and they will not be able to survive.
On the other hand, Ye Qin seems to have a kind of uncertain hesitation about his achievements in his heart.
It's not a good thing to be overconfident or even arrogant, but a state of mind like Yechin is also a big problem for a sports athlete
Whether it is 400 meters or 200 meters, a young and energetic athlete, since he has chosen to participate, he should go directly to the competition with his open mind.
Ye Qin followed behind Randy Hunter and returned to the lounge, and after putting on his coat, he directly took a towel and covered his face just like Yang Yao's actions yesterday.
No talking, no joy, just silently thinking about what Randy Hunter said.
He spent a lot of time with Randy Hunter and knew that Randy Hunter wouldn't blame himself, especially when he finished the 200m race well and finished first in the group.
Randy Hunter spoke, and Ye Qin knew that he thought that the other party had seen the hesitation in his heart.
Perhaps before coming to Helsinki to participate in the World Championships, he was full of confidence in the 200m or 400m, and he was looking forward to it and wanted to participate.
But in the back, because of the weather, the pressure within the team, and various statements, my heart gradually wavered.
In the past few days, Randy Hunter has not spoken on this issue except for a few more words during the meeting that day, and Yechin knows that Randy Hunter expects him to solve it himself.
"And one more ......"
At this time, in the eyes of Chen Zhongzhou and Zhuang Wei and other team members, Ye Qin seemed to be thinking about his own mistakes with his head covered, or he was really a little tired and sitting there to rest.
And Ye Qin, his heart was rolling, seriously thinking about his changes since the beginning of this year.
This year he has won many domestic competitions, several national records, and three Grand Prix titles, all of which feel good, but he himself does not have a strong desire for the title.
Some things are not words on the lips or thoughts that arise in the heart, but require long-term, firm, and unyielding foresight.
Jax Thelin looked at his hostile gaze as he left, and Ye Qin knew that it was not only because he suddenly overtook him when the other party was accelerating in the end, which made his promotion in suspense.
Rather, in a way, the rising flyer sees himself as a competitor.
The last moment of the lore made the other party feel a sense of crisis, and the subconscious aggression was naturally revealed.
That's the look that a player who wants to win a championship should have.
"What about me......" Ye Qin asked himself silently.
