It didn't take long for the men's 400m final to be recorded. Sure enough, it's a matter of heaven, haha...... Guo Zizhao was assigned to lane 3, while Johnson was rightfully in lane 4.

Unlike the straights, the 200-meter and 400-meter starts are done in corners. So, for both events, a dominant track is more important for competitors than competing in the straights.

Since it starts on a corner, the radius of the track is smaller the closer you get to the inside. After starting in this way, the more technical requirements are required during acceleration. At the same time, the more the inner track, the further back the starting point is. In this way, during the whole competition, the players are basically in a state of non-stop catch-up, which will also cause huge psychological pressure on the players.

Therefore, the innermost 1st and 2nd runways can be said to be the second-class runways.

Similarly, the outermost tracks 7 and 8 also make the runners feel depressed. Although the outermost track is the largest in radius, it also has a good performance for the cornering skills of the runners. However, since the outside track has the highest starting point, the runner will always be in the "lead" position throughout the race.

In this way, not only will it be impossible to observe the competition of other players, but it is also easy for players to become tired. If a competitor's tempo slows down and he is overtaken by the inside competitor after the corner, then he has basically no chance of overtaking.

Therefore, in the race of the start of the corner, lane 4 is the most dominant course. This is not only conducive to the play of cornering skills, but also allows you to observe the situation of your opponents at any time. This is followed by runways 5, 3 and 6.

……

It didn't take long for all the contestants to walk into the arena for the final preparations.

Guo Zizhao also adapted to the venue on his own runway, while looking at other opponents.

Well, I don't know the players in lane 1, and if I can be ranked in lane 1, I guess I'm also a scumbag player; The second is a young American athlete Derek. Blue, who played in Osaka last month.

The fourth lane is, of course, the big boss Johnson; The runner in lane 5 is Brazil's Pereira, who finished second at last year's World Championships with a time of 44.29 seconds, and is no easy character.

The 6th and 7th lanes were still the United States' Rogers. Jan and Angelo. Taylor, who is also a member of the U.S. national team and a regular in the World Championship finals; The last 8th lane, I guess it's still a scumbag player.

In this way, the most suitable for Guo Zizhao to follow are Johnson and Pereira. Not only is the strength outstanding, but it is also the closest to Guo Zizhao's runway, which is very convenient to observe. As for the two players on the inside, their strength was too poor and they were directly ignored by Guo Zizhao.

However, the other two American players are a little more troublesome. The strength is not weak, and it also occupies the 6th and 7th runways. If they slow down when they use their following skills, they will be in trouble if they fall between themselves and Johnson.

Well, since that's the case, let's be safe and use it a little in advance!

Looking at the "physical strength" of only 81 points and the "status value" of 80 points, Guo Zizhao did not hesitate to equip running shoes and two potions. Grandma's, don't fight for 90 experience points, Lao Tzu is going to have this bad breath!

。。。。。。

“on your marks…… set”

"Phew!"

With the sound of the starter's gunshot, all the contestants kicked the ground and rushed out at a uniform speed.

Guo Zizhao was in the first corner, still according to his own running style in the preliminaries. The "precision" attribute of 74.5 points also allows his speed on the corner to exert his strength of nearly nine layers.

In the 400-meter sprint, except for the innermost track, which is the standard 400 meters, the first curve distance of the other tracks is shorter the distance to the outer corner. Again, in the second corner, the outer corner becomes longer. The starting line of each course will be about 3.8 meters further outward.

Therefore, after Guo Zizhao ran the 105-metre corner at full strength on the third track, he entered the first straight. Johnson, who is adjacent to the 4th track, only needs to run a corner of about 101 meters, and he also takes the first step to accelerate into the straight.

As for the riders on the outermost track 8, although the first corner was only a little over 86 meters, they had to enter the straight ahead of everyone else. However, his second corner will be more than 139 metres long, which will also be a long distance.

……

After entering the straight, Guo Zizhao stabilized his rhythm and began to slowly speed up. Similarly, Johnson, who was in front of Guo Zizhao's outside, also began to speed up.

Johnson is the boss of the 400m event, and although his explosiveness has decreased at the moment, he is still the same in terms of endurance, cornering technique and sheer speed. At the start of the corner, Johnson was only about 3.8 meters ahead of Guo Zizhao. But in the second half of the first straight acceleration, the distance was stretched by Johnson to more than 5 meters.

It's really awesome...... Guo Zizhao looked at Johnson in front of him, and he couldn't help but admire it.

Grandma's, since that's the case, then you're welcome! Guo Zizhao also picked up his speed again, and finally stabilized his speed at the current maximum speed about 15 meters before entering the second corner. Immediately, Guo Zizhao activated the long-planned "Strong Intermediate Follow Sprint Skill".

。。。。。。

Guo Zizhao's activation of this skill at this time was also after some careful consideration.

First of all, it is based on Johnson's current running style. Johnson stands out due to his stamina and cornering skills, plus his absolute speed is not slow. So, he's now slowly accelerating from the first straight. By the end of the straight, I was basically at my fastest pace.

Then run through the second corner at this speed, slow down slightly to adjust the distance of about 10 meters when the second corner turns into the straight, and then sprint the last 80 meters or so on the straight.

Therefore, according to Johnson's current running style, the most suitable place for Guo Zizhao to use his following skills is the distance where Johnson reaches the fastest speed. From the end of the first straight to the end of the second corner, this is a distance of almost 150 meters.

Secondly, Guo Zizhao chose to activate the following skill at this time, also because at this time, the distance between the runners is relatively clear because of the different distances between the front and back of the start. At the same time, it is also easier for Guo Zizhao to judge the speed of the opponent on the straight.

If you wait until the second half of the second curve, it will not be easy to judge the speed of the opponent. It is also very susceptible to interference from other players.

Because when the time comes, most of the runners with poor strength on the outside track will be caught up by the runners on the inside track. Therefore, at the end of the second corner, everyone will gradually be on the same level. If you're not careful to follow the wrong person on the outside runway, you're likely to run slower and slower.

Therefore, Guo Zizhao also chose to follow without hesitation after seeing Johnson accelerate to the fastest.

……

"Well, Guo Zizhao accelerated a little early today." Song Ping looked at Guo Zizhao's current speed on the field, and asked a little worriedly, "It can't be that I was stimulated by Johnson, the rhythm is a little messy." ”

"It should be fine," my dad said with some confusion, "but he mentioned it to me before the game, saying that this game might have to change the pace." It's just that he didn't expect to speed up so early this time, and it is estimated that he also knows it in his heart. ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good. I'm afraid that he will work too hard, and if he gets hurt, he will be in trouble. Song Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I'll tell him again after the game." Dad also nodded, while staring nervously at Guo Zizhao's figure on the field, "Hmm...... Guo Zizhao's speed is maintained very well. It's into the corner, and it's good! This time, the speed didn't even go down! Turtle son, do a good job for Lao Tzu! ”

Come on, come on, Guo Zizhao challenged the big boss...... Where are the tickets? Thank you again for the reward of "I want to wake up the world", Momo respectfully!
