Chapter 68: Glory in Defeat?
At the last minute, Sullison actually ......
Overtaking?
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and everything that happened suddenly in this moment left his mind blank.
Following the inertia, he crossed the finish line almost at the same time as Sullison, but he missed by a fraction of a second, and he clearly saw that it was Sullison's head who pressed the line first.
He was 100% sure that the gap between him and Sullison would not exceed one second, but it was this difference of less than one second that would determine who would win the first place.
Lost, I lost?
After dissolving the inertia brought by the sprint, he just stood at the finish line, stunned.
He imagined anything, but he never imagined that he would lose.
Even when he was competing fiercely with Su Lixin, when the two were difficult to compete with, he always believed that he could win!
But the brutal truth told him that with excellent physical support, with the blessing of abdominal breathing, he still lost, lost to a peer.
"Sullison, 53.01 seconds."
"Wang Daolin, 53.13 seconds."
"Liu Ahui, 57.99 ......"
When the referee finally reported the results, there was an uproar.
There was only a 0.12 second difference between the two!
Even if you put it to 100 meters, this is a very small difference, and if you put it to 400 meters, it can even be said that ......
There is no gap!
And the two are more than four seconds ahead of the third place!
Four hundred meters, four seconds, is this really a race between peers?
"They are not men, they are demons! It's a monster! Someone sighed, and this was immediately agreed by everyone.
When the second grade expands the class, the track and field major will be separated, but at this time, these two people, one badminton major and one gymnastics major, can actually run such terrifying results, except for demons and monsters, they can no longer find other adjectives to describe.
Wickedness? Monster?
The surrounding discussions reached Wang Daolin's ears, making him smile bitterly in his heart.
"Demons? Am I worthy of it? I lost! Wang Daolin laughed at himself.
In his previous life, he was a professional athlete, and although his foundation was not good at the beginning, his foundation was already extremely solid in the high-intensity training that was almost perverted.
Physical fitness may not be able to crush the top people of the same generation, but it is more than enough to crush ordinary people, plus some advanced concepts and knowledge in his previous life, it is enough to raise his basic strength to a higher level, reaching a level that is enough to crush the top group of people.
Isn't Chen Jiansong, the leader of the third team, a good example?
Because of this, he has always had high requirements for himself.
Because he was already a loser in his previous life, his eight-year substitute career in the national team is his eternal pain, and in his reincarnation, he has only one goal, that is, first.
In his opinion, except for the first, any other ranking is a loser!
Just like the national table tennis in his previous life, it is natural to win, and if he loses, he will be embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house......
The painful blow plunged him into an endless cycle of self-criticism.
"You're really strong!"
At this moment, he was shocked by a compliment, and if the admiration of others could not make the slightest ripple in his heart, then the admiration from his opponent, Su Lixin, was enough to make him raise his head.
"I lost because I was not as good as others, and I didn't need others to comfort me." Wang Daolin turned around and looked directly into Su Lixin's eyes, his face expressionless.
"Actually, you won!"
Su Lixin's words greatly surprised him, and he saw Su Lixin look at him seriously for a long time, and then sighed: "I know that you also participated in the 100-meter preliminaries before this, and your state in all aspects is not at the peak, but even though I took out all my strength, I only narrowly won."
To be honest, if I do it again, I'm not sure I'll win you, not so much because you lost to me, but because you lost to luck, and ...... It! ”
Saying that, Su Lixin raised his foot, he followed Su Lixin's reminder and looked down, and was stunned.
Spikes!
It turned out that Su Lixin was wearing spikes!
Seeing the sudden expression on Wang Daolin's face, Su Lixin continued: "You should know how much spikes can improve athletes in track and field events. If I'm not mistaken, you're wearing regular sneakers, right? ”
Wang Daolin nodded.
Indeed, as Su Lixin said, spikes can bring great improvement to athletes, especially in events such as 100 meters and 400 meters, spikes can enhance the friction of the soles of the feet, reduce the extra physical strength wasted by insufficient grip during running, and make it easier for athletes to exert force.
Of course, spikes can only play the icing on the cake, just like a child, even if he holds a brick in his hand and fights with an adult.
But on the other hand, if an adult is holding a brick and fighting with an adult, the brick is enough to become the key to victory.
With Su Lixin's strength, wearing spikes can indeed add a lot to his results.
"Just wearing ordinary sneakers, I also participated in the 100-meter preliminaries before......" Su Lixin smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how to describe you, judging from the results of the game, I narrowly won, but if you look at the level of competition, although I don't want to admit it, but in fact, I lost, lost badly!" ”
Before he could react from the other party's words, Su Lixin's hand appeared directly in front of him.
I saw Su Lixin stretch out his hand and show a bright smile, his white teeth shining in the sun: "You are really strong!" Genuine friendship comes from constant self-introductions, and you may know my name, but I'm going to say it again.
My name is Sullison, and I would love to be your friend! ”
This......
Wang Daolin's eyes widened, and he slammed into Su Lixin's eyes, hoping to become his friend?
His first reaction was that a proud man like Su Lixin would not bow his own price and propose to make friends with others, because Su Lixin could not lack friends.
What he can see from the other party's eyes is clarity, and under the clarity is sincerity, not like a fake, not to mention that the other party has no need to do this.
"I know what you're thinking." Su Lixin looked at him deeply and continued: "Whether you believe it or not, to be honest, I have never served anyone, because no one has this qualification, but you are different, I will obey you!" ”
“……”
Wang Daolin didn't speak, just looked at Su Lixin's delicate face, his eyes flashing.
After a long time, he sighed, held Su Lixin's hand, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Failure means stripping away all the things that don't matter, but even one failure is just falling into the bottom of life, but the bottom of life can become a solid cornerstone for him to rebuild his life!
As long as he lives, he will inevitably face failure, unless he is so careful that it seems that he has never lived in his life.
If that happens, his failure will come from giving up life.
Before that, he would never believe this truth, which he had already understood, but now it was a nine-year-old child who taught him a good lesson.
"I'm convinced, I've never served anyone, but you're the first, I'm glad to be your friend!" Wang Daolin said solemnly.
"Me too." Su Lixin also smiled.
They didn't know that this grip was later called "the grip of the century that changed the pattern of world sports"!
After a long time, after the two let go, Su Lixin suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh no! ”
"What's wrong?" Wang Daolin wondered.
"The badminton tournament is about to start!" Su Lixin directly grabbed his hand and ran aside.
