Chapter 28: Forward and Backward Strikes
After the end of the 110 hurdles, the women's 10,000-meter final and the men's 800-meter final were also held, and the results of these two events were very different from the world level.
"Alas, the advantages established in the past women's middle-distance running have slowly eroded, and there have been few breakthroughs in recent years."
"The men's 800m is also a difficult event to practice, and there is no way to compete with African buddies in the World Championships, that is, to compete for the top three in the Asian competition." Deputy Head Coach Yu also sighed when he said this.
"The next step is the 400m final, I heard that yesterday a young man qualified for the World Championships in the semi-finals, which is really not easy!" As the athletes in the 400-meter race began to check in, everyone talked about the 400-meter race again.
"I heard that this Lu Wei, who qualified for the World Championships, was brought out by Director Jiang's apprentice, and the person Director Jiang said before should be this young man, right?" Coach Yu got to the point in one sentence.
"Coach Yu's news is really well-informed, so let's take a look!" Director Jiang's expression was light, but in fact, he secretly sweated for Lu Wei in his heart, hoping that this kid would start to make a name for himself from this competition.
At this time, the 8 athletes who participated in the finals have been walking towards the starting point one after another, and among the 8 people in today's finals, Lu Wei was ranked in 4, Zhang Huadong 5, Zhu Chenbin 3, and these two Shanghai players were on both sides of Lu Wei on the left and right on the road.
Tan Tianhao is in 2 lanes, and Hu Yuan is in 6 lanes. Judging by the results, today's top three are destined to be produced between these five people.
After the first two days of competition, no one dared to despise Lu Wei, and two days ago, some people joked about him throwing the shot put, and now he can only think that he is comprehensive.
A few opponents who were very relaxed in the preliminaries can be said to have a dignified face, because they did meet strong opponents today. However, after all, Lu Wei appeared for the first time in a domestic competition, and everyone still has the determination to fight.
The referee fired the starting gun, and the 400m final began.
The five competitive team members were evenly matched after the start, and Lu Wei still pressed his center of gravity very low at the start. After the first two races, the acceleration ability in the first corner has gradually matured.
"Coach Jiang, Lu Wei's starting ability in the 4th lane is very good, your vision is very poisonous!" Coach Feng has been engaged in track and field for many years, and he has seen countless team members, and he stared at Lu Wei at first sight.
"That's right, but what kind of run he can be, I don't know the bottom of my heart, you see that the momentum of 2 and 5 is very strong!" Director Jiang responded to Coach Feng's words, and his eyes did not leave the game.
After entering the straight, Tan Tianhao of the 2nd lane and Zhang Huadong of the 5th lane rushed very fiercely, especially Zhang Huadong, who changed the smooth rhythm of the first two games and took the initiative to accelerate when he came up. By the time he reached the middle of the first straight, he was already close to Hu Yuan, who was in lane 6.
Zhu Chenbin, who was in the 3rd way, felt that Tan Tianhao behind him had caught up and began to speed up, and it was obvious that he had a great sense of crisis in his heart. In the previous games, he was slightly inferior to Zhang Huadong, plus Lu Wei, who was killed in this competition, if he didn't work hard in this game, he probably wouldn't even be able to get the top three.
Seeing the opponents around him exerting their strength in the future, Lu Wei's heart was like a cat scratching. In his dictionary, the word "failure" could not be put into it at all, and orcs lost to humans, which he completely could not accept.
However, the first race was too impressive, and his current physical strength was completely unable to cope with the huge consumption of the violent running style.
The heart of the orc is contained in the human body, and he can only forcibly suppress his inner impulses now. I have to endure it a little longer, it's too early to break out.
After two months of training, his running rhythm in the race has improved a lot.
Lu Wei still maintains his own training rhythm, among the 8 team members, Lu Wei, who is 1.9 meters tall, has a large stride, and after maintaining the rhythm, his forward effect is very good, and he is not too far behind others.
"Good boy, don't worry, if you consume too much physical energy in the first half, you will have no energy in the sprint!" Wang Qiao clenched his fists tightly, and from the beginning of the game, he stood up, and like Lu Wei, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Hu Yuan, you can't be cowardly!" Coach Zhou Hu of the District Sports Institute had already shouted out regardless of this time, but his voice was completely drowned out by the cheers of the audience. In the first half of the race, there are 3 team members who have already used their own strength, and they are fighting for their lives with 200 meters of energy.
When he reached the end of the straight, Zhu Chenbin was already close to Lu Wei, his cornering skills were among the best in China, and he felt that he had great hope in such a rhythm. Although Tan Tianhao also posted it, he is very confident in defeating this opponent, and his goal now is to open the gap with Lu Wei in the corner.
Before entering the corner, Lu Wei had already estimated everyone's position in his heart, and when he started, the distance between the adjacent paths was a little more than 7 meters. After the first corner, if the speed of the two people is comparable, then the difference between the two should be between 3 and 4 meters.
Compared with the beginning of the race, the distance ahead of Zhang Huadong has not decreased, but has increased. Explain that the opponent is already 4 to 5 meters ahead of him.
After entering the second corner, Lu Wei used his peripheral vision to find that Zhu Chenbin was not far from him. It seems that he is a lot behind this guy, and if he doesn't speed up now, I'm afraid there will be no play in the end, fight!
"Ouch, why is Xiao Lu so stable today, if you don't speed up, you will stop cooking!" Director Jiang said with a smile, but his heart was far from looking relaxed with an expression.
Although he said that he had lost the upper hand, but judging from his expression, he did not mean to admit it. He believed in his own judgment and also believed that Lu Wei had the strength to come up in the future.
"I said that Jiang Gui you don't pretend, the first half of the run is so steady, his physical fitness must be the best among these people. At this age, it's rare to be able to hold steady in such a tight competition. Half of Coach Yu's words were to guide Jiang down, but he was also secretly surprised in his heart, the first time he participated in such a competition, he could still hold steady in this situation.
Lu Wei had already increased his cadence at this time, but his stride length had not decreased, and he finally couldn't help it. Although his cornering skills were not his strong suit, he decided to fight in the corners.
The cornering skills of the 8 team members are in everyone's sight at this time, and among the players participating in the finals, the most mature cornering skills are the two players in Shanghai, who control the center of gravity and rhythm very well, and always run on the inner edge of the run.
Lu Wei forcibly accelerated in the corner, completely using his body to twist the corner on the corner, and in the place with the largest arc, he had been thrown to the outer edge of the corner, and the disadvantage of the cornering technique made him waste a lot of energy compared to these main opponents.
