Chapter 267: Morale Like a Rainbow (Fifth Update)
"Don't scruple and let go! Now my results are improving, and I'm in good shape, not completely out of chances. ”
After standing on the runway, Ye Qin felt the noisy and boiling scene around him, and silently cheered himself up.
What Nie Fangping had said to him flashed in his mind, when an athlete reaches a certain level, he needs to go out and go to a bigger circle, and the opponents he faces are more powerful, and you will improve more.
This sentence is actually not easy. First of all, it is to reach a certain level, which almost means that you have to reach the best echelon in the country, and then you have to go out, which is more difficult.
Especially for track and field athletes, there are many commercialization and constraints, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done if you really want to go out and compete.
Most of the players he faced in this match were better than him in terms of individual results, but many of them were born in '76 or '78 and are now at the end of their careers.
In the real sense, the closest age to him should be the sixth lane of Lauin-Merritt, Yechin lost one game in the World Youth Championships, this time, for competing with Raun-Merritt again, Yechin did not have the idea of revenge.
“On your marks!”
Before the men's 400-meter starting line, a white starter shouted the command to take their positions.
Ye Qin inhaled softly, this was his second Grand Prix, and it was also his first stop in the United States, a track and field powerhouse.
If you want to prove yourself, if you want to chase the figures of Da Yao and Liu Yangyu, and become a world-renowned track and field athlete, you must not perform badly in the competition in the United States.
The men's 400m is the strongest event in American track and field, and its strong dominance is more than the men's 100m and 200m.
However, no one cares about him, an Asian player who has no amazing results or accolades before, and it is almost impossible to attract the attention of the media and the audience.
Slowly walked up to the runner, leaned down, and glanced up at the front of the field.
From time to time, there are magnesium lights flashing on the sidelines, and there are video cameras aimed at the runway, and there is no shortage of cameramen for a game of this level like the Grand Prix, but whether the final game video can appear on domestic TV is another matter.
Ye Qin could feel the blood boiling in his heart, which was the desire to compete inspired by meeting a strong player.
I want to win!
Be sure to win!
It seems that because of the strength of the opponent, to be able to compete with so many top 400-meter athletes, or to feel the gap, yesterday when the Chinese restaurant and Da Yao and Liu Yangyu were eating, the young man's sensitive heart was able to capture the invisible gap.
The emotions in his heart were a little agitated and a little excited, and he wanted to prove himself.
On the road of competitive sports, there is no luck, whether you can succeed or not, what kind of success you can achieve, in fact, the measurement standard is very simple, that is, personal achievements and honors.
"I'm still bad with you on PB, but now I'm in better shape than you, I'm still on the rise!"
Ye Qin seemed to feel as if he was back in the World Youth Championships and the Olympics for a while.
In Hayward Stadium, the noisy stadium fell silent in unison at this moment.
Whether it's as a city of athletics or as a large student audience at the University of Oregon, the quality in this regard is almost entirely evident in this moment.
Be quiet before the game gunfire.
Everyone lowered their voices and looked nervously at the eight runners in front of the starting line.
“SET!”
The starter's prep sound sounded again.
In front of the starting line, the eight runners in front and behind neatly changed from squatting to starting posture.
Syllable!
After Ye Qin got up, he heard the sound of gunfire in his ears, and suddenly rushed out of the runway.
He was in the first lane, because of the number of stretches, all the players were in front of him, and this game was very simple for his strategy, to catch up with everyone and then overtake them.
Ye Qin's starting reaction and starting speed have improved significantly compared to the Athens Olympics, and he can feel that at least the first half of the 400-meter run in China will not be pulled away by other runners, but compared to other runners in this group, he is still inferior.
Especially in the 30 to 50 meters of acceleration in front, Ye Qin could clearly feel the second Jamaican Michael Blackwood from the start, opening up the gap with him.
Most of the 400-meter athletes run one or two meters in front of them at a speed of not 100 percent, but they can basically achieve 90 percent, or even 95 percent, because basically most 400-meter athletes have excellent pace and good speed maintenance ability.
As long as they don't completely rush too hard and too hard in the first half, completely squeezing all the physical energy of their bodies, by the second half, they will be able to maintain their speed with strong endurance and physical fitness.
That's what it is, a sport of speed and endurance.
There must be speed, but also stamina.
Fortunately, Ye Qin has no shortage of both, and even compared to absolute speed, many players present are not necessarily better than him.
50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......
Ye Qin's speed was constantly improving, and he and the runners in the second and third lanes were slightly slower at the moment of acceleration, and after entering the fifty meters, they were not pulled down by others, but followed steadily.
"No, Ye Qin's run is not right!"
Chen Zhongzhou, who was holding the baffle with both hands on the sidelines, looked at the arena, and suddenly looked extremely nervous.
He saw that Ye Qin's speed in the first half of the race increased much faster than before, as Ye Qin's assistant coach he could not be clearer of Ye Qin's technical characteristics, he would always deliberately control the first half of the race, in order to start accelerating after 200 meters, until the last few tens of meters of sprint.
"Chen, you don't have to be nervous." Randy Hunter smiled, "Yechin is running well, he's making an attempt!" ”
"...... this?" Chen Zhongzhou was shocked in his heart, and blurted out, "Coach Randy, did you let Ye Qin run like this?" ”
It was the first time that Chen Zhongzhou had encountered a situation in which an athlete changed the rhythm of the game, but suddenly changed his technique in a big competition, and he was eager to get an answer from Randy Hunter.
He's an assistant coach, but in a sense, he's not like Randy Hunter, he's also responsible for the athletics center, for the track team.
"Not exactly." Randy Hunter's eyes kept chasing the running figures of the athletes in the field, with a faint smile on his face, "But I support Ye Qin to make a little attempt, he needs to break through." ”
"But this ...... It's child'......"
In an instant, Chen Zhongzhou understood Randy Hunter's thoughts, although Ye Qin's current men's 400m broke the national record, but the recent Osaka Grand Prix, did not reflect the speed they expected, and Randy Hunter also hoped that Ye Qin would try to change a little.
It's just that it's a Grand Prix, such a change......
Chen Zhongzhou didn't dare to think about it for a while, if Ye Qin was the last to cross the finish line, that kind of loss and helplessness.
He has been with Ye Qin for a long time, in fact, he knows this young man very well, low-key, humble, and will not cause trouble for the coaching staff, perhaps because of his poor background, he is relatively psychologically mature, and he can be regarded as the best kind of athlete he has ever led.
But in Ye Qin's inner world, he knew that this young man was actually very strong and had a strong sense of competition.
To be able to shout to him, I want to be a young man comparable to Ali, Pele, Jordan and other athletes, how can I not be proud in my heart!
He has always hoped to maintain this sharpness, keep warming, let him be sharper and sharper, and he doesn't want to suddenly break in this game.
