The magic city is known as the city that never sleeps in China, the first batch of municipalities directly under the central government in China, and the political, economic, transportation, scientific and technological and cultural center of China's coastal areas. This is an international metropolis, with ten miles of oceans, neon flashes, and the style of the Bund and Huangpu River has always been world-famous.

Not only that, the Magic City was also an internationally famous sports city in its previous life, and many high-level sports events were often held in the Magic City in the future. What athletics Golden League, tennis masters, and F1 rally, etc. Of course, the two flags of the Chinese sports world in later generations, Liu Fei and Yao Giant, are also the pride of the city. But now, these two are still young and still in the stage of obscurity. It won't take until after 2000 that it will gradually start to emerge.

On April 11, the competition of the Modu Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix officially began. This year's Grand Prix is divided into three stops, the first stop will be held in Modu on April 11~13, the second stop will be held in Luohe, Henan Province on May 8~10, and the final finals will be held in Beijing on June 6~8.

These three competitions are basically the highest level of domestic track and field competitions. In addition, there is also a selection of team members for the World Championships in August, so domestic masters will basically participate.

Guo Zizhao still competes in the 100m and 110m hurdles, and the schedule is relatively relaxed. On the morning of the 11th, he participated in the preliminaries of two events and the 100-meter final in the afternoon. The final of the 110-meter hurdles on the morning of the 12th.

Guo Zizhao looked at the list of participants before the race, and the domestic sprinters were basically all there, and it was not easy to watch this competition.

Guo Zizhao still checked his state before the 100m preliminaries, which is not optimistic. The "stamina value" is 82 and the "status value" is 75, but it can only ensure normal performance. It seems that the opponents in this preliminaries are not weak, and their suppression of themselves is still very strong. Guo Zizhao slowly warmed up and began to equip the "state medicine" and "high-frequency running shoes".

At 9:30, the men's 100m preliminaries started on time. With a gunshot, Guo Zizhao quickly rushed out. Hasten...... Hasten...... Feeling that as soon as he crossed 25 meters, Guo Zizhao immediately activated the "sprint skill" and rushed forward again.

Although Guo Zizhao still felt good this time, Guo Zizhao found out that there were still people in front of him. Actually fell behind in the preliminaries, which has never been done before? Guo Zizhao immediately exerted all his strength and wanted to catch up...... Hasten...

But the end of the 100-meter meter was soon reached, and Guo Zizhao was still a step slower, but he entered the final with the second place in the group, with a time of 10.29 seconds. Guo Zizhao looked up at the team member who won the first place, Yin Hanzhao, a flyer from Guangdong Province. It's a fierce rival!

An hour later, the 110-meter heats ended. Guo Zizhao once again entered the final with the second place in the group, with a time of 13.85 seconds. The first place in the group was Chen Yanhao, the "Asian hurdle king" of Modu, with a time of 13.76 seconds.

Although the results this time still look good, Guo Zizhao is not very satisfied. Guo Zizhao's last official competition in the 100m and 110m hurdles was at the City Games in Jinling at the end of October last year. At that time, the 100m time was 10.41 seconds, and the 110m hurdles was 14.32 seconds. Although he has made a lot of progress now, don't forget that at that time, Guo Zizhao's "physique" and "strength" were only the standard of second-level athletes, and his "agility" was only at the level of third-level athletes. But now his "physique", "strength" and "agility" have reached the standard of first-class athletes, and his "speed" has reached the standard of athletes, plus a bunch of skills and equipment, it should be close to the standard of top athletes. But this time it didn't feel like it was ideal.

Although the 100-meter score entered within 10.30 seconds for the first time, Guo Zizhao himself estimated that if his "state value" could be above 90, he should be able to run within 10.25 seconds. This is all because the "mental" attribute is too poor, and the state is suppressed by these athlete-level opponents.

The 110-meter hurdles now have the bonus of "intermittent sprint skills", the 60-meter hurdles that last time I ran indoors were okay, and now I run the 110-meter hurdles outdoors, and the duration of the skill is obviously insufficient. It only took 5s to maintain the distance between the 5 columns, so Guo Zizhao had to step over to the 5th column before he dared to activate the skill. The speed of the first few hurdles is still a little slow, and the state of being suppressed by the "Asian hurdle king" Chen Yanhao is still a little unsatisfactory this time.

It seems that the first problem he has to face now is the suppression of his form by those top athletes. If this problem is not solved, it will not be possible to get a good result in this Grand Prix series. It seems that the problem of the "mental" attribute is only at the level of a first-class athlete is very serious, and this time it was my own negligence, thinking that with the "state elixir" it would be foolproof. But now, even if it's a "status potion", you can only add 10 "status points" at most to ensure that you can play normally. It's impossible to play like before.

Also, the duration of the "Intermittent Straight Dash Skill" is only 5s, which is completely insufficient right now, so it would be nice if it could be upgraded.

……

Maybe it's really in response to the old saying, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not alone. When Guo Zizhao was preparing for the 100-meter final in the afternoon, Guo Zizhao felt that his heart was beating straight up, and his whole body was soft, and he couldn't lift his energy at all.

Guo Zizhao was startled and hurriedly asked what was going on with the system. Since I was reborn, I haven't been sick, could it be that I suddenly got sick?

However, the system said unhurriedly, "This is the first time you have participated in the 100-meter final, the highest level in China, and the opponents on the field have at least half of the real level above you, and the aura is too big, which makes your emotions and state fluctuate too much." It's okay, just drink some "status potion". ”

Guo Zizhao hurriedly checked his status, I'll go there......

"Stamina" 77, "Status" 63, what the hell is this! Guo Zizhao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he was still too optimistic. All the weak players were eliminated in the preliminaries, and the opponents who entered the finals were all athletes, and the pressure of all the opponents added up to suppress themselves even more.

Come on, don't think about it, use the potion quickly. With all the "Stamina Potion", "Status Potion", and "High Frequency Running Shoes" equipped, the race will start soon.

"Each...... Ready....""Bah! ”

"Beep, beep, beep, beep......"

As soon as Guo Zizhao rushed out, he heard a hurried whistle. Guo Zizhao immediately realized that he had actually run away just now!

Grandma's, it's a shame! I was nervous about running away......

Guo Zizhao let out a long breath, comforted himself, relaxed... Just relax... Fortunately, the rules of track and field have not been changed now, and it is only a warning for the first run, and the second run will be fouled and left the field.

Therefore, in the current era of competition, we often see the tactic of deliberately rushing the first shot. On the one hand, you can run with a gun, and if you succeed, you can improve your performance; On the other hand, if you don't succeed, it can also create tension and make other athletes afraid to react too quickly on the second run. It wasn't until after 2010 that the IAAF changed the rules for frontrunning. If you rush once, you won't be warned, but you will be directly sent off the field, and the tactics of rushing will be eliminated.

Guo Zizhao shook his head secretly, fortunately others didn't see that his rush was actually caused by nervousness. However, after such a toss, the tension in my heart was relieved a little. Guo Zizhao moved for a while and stood on the starting line again.

"Each...... Preparation... Bang! ”

This time, Guo Zizhao did not rush and rushed out with everyone. Faster frequency ...... Hasten... Hasten...... Keep the rhythm ...... Activate the skill......

Guo Zizhao ran down step by step according to his own procedure, and the shouts and horns of the people around him stimulated Guo Zizhao's ears one after another, but Guo Zizhao couldn't hear what everyone was shouting. I only know that I am not in the first place now, and I see someone in front of me with my peripheral vision, and I don't know how many people there are. But it doesn't matter now, I can only run with all my strength gritting my teeth and running at my own pace, and I must not be led astray by the rhythm of others. If your rhythm is messed up, this tone will be messed up, and your results will get worse and worse.

It's closer...... It's closer...... It's a sprint...... Hit the line!

Guo Zizhao rushed out more than ten meters before slowly stopping. Guo Zizhao felt that he was very tired from running this time, as if his whole body was wrapped in something, and his whole body couldn't stretch. Moreover, at the end of the run, I felt that my breath was not enough, and my legs were a little unable to move. Guo Zizhao knew that this was because his state was suppressed ruthlessly, and the "status value" was only 73 after adding points, which had never been caused by such a low state.

Soon the results came out, the first place Chen Wenzhong, 10.24 seconds; second place Yin Hanzhao, 10.27 seconds; third place Zhou Wei, 10.31 seconds; Fourth place Guo Zizhao, 10.33 seconds. Sure enough, Guo Zizhao's results were a little worse than the preliminaries, only ranked fourth, and he didn't even get a medal.

Depressed......

At this time, my father also came over and comforted Guo Zizhao, "It's okay, it's the first time to participate in such a final." It's still a good run. I see you're running away this time, aren't you a little nervous? ”

"Well, I'm nervous. I don't know what's going on, so I ran away. Guo Zizhao gasped, "Whew, whew...... Well, not next time. ”

"Good. It's okay to take your time. Let's go and rest for a while. I'll give you a massage, pay attention to relaxation, don't strain. ”

……

In the 110-meter final the next day, Guo Zizhao started warming up half an hour earlier than usual. At this stage, Guo Zizhao's pre-game warm-up is generally about an hour. However, he is not in a good state now, so Guo Zizhao has to warm up slowly in advance, and adjust his mentality and stimulation through warm-up.

After the first day of adaptation, Guo Zizhao's state is slightly better today, with a "physical strength" of 80 and a "status value" of 66, and after using the potion, he has reached a physical strength of 90 and a state of 76. I can finally play a little more normally.

However, Guo Zizhao also knows that with his current strength and state, it is still useless for him to win the championship. I can only earn a medal, and I just look better on my face, but I don't really have any improvement in my strength.

Sure enough, soon the final of the 110m hurdles was over. Although Guo Zizhao played a little better than the preliminaries, he only won a bronze medal with a time of 13.80 seconds. The champion and runner-up are still the two "Asian hurdle kings" Chen Yanhao and Li Tong, with a time of 13.60 seconds and 13.71 seconds respectively.

Guo Zizhao's competition this time is all over. Although in the eyes of others, it is very good to be able to get a bronze medal, but it has no effect on Guo Zizhao at all. Sure enough, the system told itself that there would be no reward if there was no champion in this competition. However, there are still experience points, a total of 150 points. Although Guo Zizhao was depressed, he still quickly accepted it, after all, he had already spent 100 experience points in this competition, and it would be good to earn back 50 points.

The baby's heart is bitter......

Thinking that he was blowing his shell with Uncle Li before leaving, it seems that he is really embarrassed. No wonder Uncle Li just smiled when he heard it, and didn't take it to heart, it seems that this level of national track and field finals is really not as simple as he thought.

Thinking that there are two more games in May and June, Guo Zizhao has a headache and nerve-wracking...... I'll have to lose people two more times.
