Chapter 59: Relay Change
A few days after the 100-meter duel between Lu Wei and Shen Liang, the track and field team's training seemed to be calm, but in fact, there was an internal undercurrent.
The 100-meter duel between Lu Wei and Shen Liang was launched in the cafeteria, and many coaches and players were in the cafeteria at the time, so the news was already known a few hours after lunch.
For this matter, deputy head coach Yu Wei also made a special report to head coach Feng Yong, knowing that although the overall strength of the track and field team in the world series is not strong, it has also attracted much attention. If the duel between the two is known by the media, and the track and field team will be very passive.
In addition, there is a shortage of grassroots athletes in the track and field world, and if it has a negative impact on society, I am afraid that there will be more obstacles to future development, and no parent will be willing to send their children to participate in an industry with an unpredictable and stormy future.
Feng Yong has known about this for a long time, and with his character, this kind of unorganized and undisciplined thing will definitely be strangled in the cradle, but now that the competition is coming, everyone hopes that the athletes will adjust the state of the game and increase the excitement.
The 100-meter race is a great thing to get your spirits up at any time.
In addition, he also has a little consideration that the Olympic Games will be held at home next year, and in terms of personal ability in the Chinese sprint event, I am afraid that there are no team members who will enter the semi-finals. If you want to have good results, you can only work team results.
So he really wanted to see what Lu Wei could do in this project, so when Yu Wei came to discuss with him, he gave a way that surprised this long-time partner: "Lao Yu, I really want to see the state of these two children before the competition, tomorrow the game is allowed, and we also have to discharge the coach as a referee, so that it will not be used as a handle by others, let's let"
It was this 100-meter duel that gave Feng Yong an idea: let Lu Wei participate in the 4*100-meter relay.
After having this idea, Feng Yong summoned Yu Wei, the deputy head coach of the track and field team, Zou Zhen, the head coach of the sprint, and Jiang Zhen, the veteran coach of the sprint, in addition, he also wanted to hear the thoughts of Liu Feiren's coach Sun.
After the five people came to Feng Yong's office one after another, Feng Yong spoke first: "I invite you here today to discuss with you a matter that may be related to the 4*100m Olympic relay competition for next year's Olympic Games." Here's the thing, everyone must know about the 100-meter battle between Lu Wei and Shen Liang that day. I didn't go to the venue, but I watched the two of them play upstairs. At present, the overall strength of the 4*100m relay team is acceptable, but without one outstanding person, such a team may be able to barely enter the finals, but it is too difficult to make a difference in the competition. In particular, the Japanese team is very strong in this project, and we are under a lot of pressure. ”
Although he repeatedly scrutinized what he was going to say in advance, he still spoke this opening sentence very slowly, and every time he said a word, he had to look around at the expressions of the four people opposite.
At this time, Yu Wei was staring at him intently, and every time he looked at him, Yu Wei was nodding at him.
Sprint head coach Zou Zhen lowered his head in contemplation, his eyes looked in the direction of his shoes, and it was obvious that he was not looking at shoes. He held his chin with his right hand, as if there was a thousand things to sort out in front of him.
A smile appeared on Director Jiang's face, Lu Wei is a member of his apprentice Wang Qiao's team, and he can be regarded as a member of the team below him, and he can't ask for it if he can get the weight of the track and field team in important competitions.
Director Sun's eyes were rolling back and forth, presumably thinking about how to deal with the next scene.
"Director Feng, I can hear what you mean, you are going to replace one of the members of the relay team with Lu Wei. I think this is a decision worth scrutinizing, first, the relay race requires a lot of practice, and now this lineup has finally practiced a little bit, and the temporary change will inevitably be inadequate, in case of mistakes, nearly half a year's preparation will be in vain. ”
After Zou Zhen finished saying the first point, he raised his head and looked at Feng Yong's eyes, wanting to see the other party's expression, he felt that his words just now were a little heavy.
Feng Yong's expression was like a calm lake, unwavering. On his face, there was not the slightest change in his mood.
"Second, I have heard of Lu Wei, a member of the team, judging from the race results, his 400-meter time from 46 seconds to 45 seconds in less than 4 seconds, I am worried that the results will rise too fast in a short period of time, and there will be ups and downs in the results. Another point is that he participates in a lot of competitions, both track and field, and each event has a training focus, and his training is very problematic. With so many competitions, does he have so much energy in the competition? ”
Coach Zou Zhen's worries do have some reason, if Lu Wei participates in these 4 competitions, if the 400-meter race enters the finals, he needs to run 3 shots, the shot put, javelin competition qualifying and finals, if he participates in the 4*100-meter relay race, Lu Wei will have to play 9 times, which is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored for an athlete, the competition is scattered and the competition intensity is high.
"Third, there are five people in the relay team, and some people come and some people leave, even if they can't play, they usually train as diligently as the other four people, and even harder than them. The decision was so sudden that I had no way to explain it to my teammates. ”
These three questions are exactly to the point, the atmosphere is a little unusually quiet, Feng Yong's expression still hasn't changed: "I have also considered these problems, but has Coach Zou ever thought about what kind of results we can achieve by participating in the Olympic Games to be held at home next year according to this lineup." Although this competition is very important, I believe that it can be adjusted compared to the Beijing Olympics, which may only be experienced once in a lifetime. The Japanese team is already world-class, and they are all Asian players, so we can't do what they can do, and we really can't get away with it. ”
At this time, Zou Zhen finally understood the meaning of Feng Yong's opening remarks, he had been suppressed by the Japanese team in the 4*100m event for the past two years, and he was also holding back a lot of energy in his heart. As the person in charge of the Chinese sprint, he casually loses to his opponent at home, and he also bears historical responsibility.
"Lu Wei's strength is no problem in several other events, there is a good saying, existence is reasonable, since he has the strength and qualifies for the competition, he can participate in so many projects. As for the physical problem, this is Lu Wei's training plan and 400m training session results the day before yesterday, and I think this should be telling. ”
Saying that, Feng Yong printed a copy of the copied materials for each of the people present, and Zou Zhen saw Lu Wei's training plan, except for sleeping and eating, Lu Wei's training plan for a day was almost full.
What kind of material is this kid made of, with so many training plans a day, won't he get physically tired?
Looking at the 400-meter training session again, Zou Zhen's pupils suddenly dilated a lot, 10 groups of 400 meters, with an interval of 3 minutes between each group, Lu Wei's 10 groups of results were almost all around 45.10 seconds. Seeing this, Zou Zhen suddenly remembered that he saw Lu Wei's training the morning before yesterday, and the coaches and players present at that time were amazed. At that time, I didn't ask Lu Wei's results, but after reading it, I realized that it was so perverted.
"The third point, competitive sports, is to speak with strength." Feng Yong's words looked undeniable, since there are already sufficient reasons for substitution, then competitive sports will not completely make way for the sake of feelings, not to mention that the one who left was just a substitute.
Zou Zhen looked worried, now that he himself has been convinced, there is no reason to question the leader's decision. The decision made by the leader must be the result of careful consideration, but he still has some sympathy for the team members who have been fighting with him for so long.
"But don't worry, substitute Chen Shi will not leave the team, he will participate in the competition with the team as a staff member of the track and field team, and some training conditions remain the same."
I'm afraid everyone didn't expect that the whim of the game between the two players would have such a big impact on the lineup of the World Championships.
