The next day, Zhang Guan did not get up too early, but slept until he woke up naturally. After lunch, Zhang Guan did not rush to the game site. The 1500-meter race will not be held until the evening, so Zhang Guan rushed to the competition site leisurely after dinner to participate in the 1500-meter final.

In the 1500-meter race, the opponents' strength is relatively ordinary, and there is only one person who can really be regarded as strong, that is, Dou Zhaobo, the national record holder of the men's 1500-meter run.

Zhang Guan and Dou Zhaobo are still relatively familiar with each other, Dou Zhaobo is Zhang Guan's teammate in the provincial team, he once set a national record of 3:36.49 in 2003, which is an Olympic A standard result, as an East Asian athlete to be able to reach the Olympic A standard of 1500 meters is definitely a great achievement. In Asian-level competitions, Dou Zhaobo has also won medals many times.

Dou Zhaobo had a major operation before the Athens Olympics, and then participated in the Athens Olympics with an injury, and did not play his best in the competition, stopping in the preliminary round. Because of that injury, Dou Zhaobo did not return to his peak form throughout 2005, but even so, he still won the 1500m event in the 10th Games.

……

On the track, the final of the 1500m is about to begin.

Coach Zhou had a smug smile on his face, and among the twelve contestants, Zhang Guan and Dou Zhaobo were his own team members. Among them, Dou Zhaobo is the national record holder, which can be regarded as the strongest player among the athletes, and Dou Zhaobo has been in very good form recently, and there is a great possibility of winning gold.

As for Zhang Guan, Coach Zhou shook his head silently, he still couldn't figure out what Zhang Guan's mid-running strength was.

"In terms of physical condition, Zhang Guan is definitely better than the black players, and there is no need to prove this. And he also broke the national record in the 800m yesterday, and in the 1500m event, even if the strength is a little worse. I guess I can win a medal too! Thinking of this, Coach Zhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, an event of this level like the National Track and Field Championships, a total of thirty or forty teams participated, and it was a great thing for a team to win two medals in one event.

Standing on the starting line, Dou Zhaobo's expression was a little solemn, with his strength, it was easy to win the championship in the domestic competition, but today he was keenly aware that it was very difficult to win the championship. He met a formidable opponent, and that was Zhang Guan.

"I didn't expect that in the middle distance running, Zhang Guan's strength was so strong, and he broke the national record of 800 meters yesterday! That's a lot of time! Three years ago, this kid just entered the provincial team, and he was still a newcomer who didn't know anything, but he didn't expect that it had only been three years, and this kid had become the king of sprinting in the world, and now he is marching towards the middle distance running event! Dou Zhaobo thought of this. Instead, he laughed.

"That's fine, if I had been in normal times, I wouldn't have had a chance to fight against a World Champion." Dou Zhaobo thought silently, and at this time. A person patted Dou Zhaobo's shoulder from behind, and Dou Zhaobo looked back and found that it was Zhang Guan.

"Brother Dou, I'll run after you in a while!" Zhang Guan said with a grin.

"Run after me. Finally overtake me, won't you? But I'm not a slow runner, and if you want to take the gold medal from me, you have to show some real strength! Dou Zhaobo responded with a smile. The two have known each other for more than three years, and the age gap is only three years, even if they compete in the same field now, there is not much separation between them.

However, this kind of intimate conversation between the two fell in the eyes of other athletes and coaches, but they were discussing game tactics.

In track and field middle-distance running, the use of tactics is very important, if there is only one athlete in the same team, then there is almost no possibility of actively using tactical running; If two players on the same team compete, they can take the initiative to use some tactical running methods; If there are three players on the same team, the tactical options are more diverse; And if the strength of the three athletes participating in the competition is very good, you can even arrange some competition tactics to win medals. So in a long-distance race, for example, there are often three Kenyan or Ethiopian runners winning gold, silver and bronze medals.

After a few minutes, the athletes are ready and the race begins.

After the start, the athletes on the outer track began to desperately squeeze to the innermost track to grab a relatively good position. For example, in this kind of competition in which twelve athletes participate, the fourth and fifth place is a better position, which is not too far from the front leader, and you can clearly observe the rhythm change of the leader, so that you can make adjustments relatively quickly; At the same time, because there are more runners running behind, I will not feel nervous psychologically because of falling behind.

After the athletes entered the innermost track, the rankings began to stabilize, and at this time the race was only 100 meters, and everyone had more physical strength, so they were all in the same group.

The speed of the leading runner can only be said to be decent, not too fast and not too slow, for professional 1500m runners, this mid-range level speed is the easiest to adapt, so in the next 100 meters, everyone runs easily.

After the race entered the 200 meters, the athletes entered the straight, and at this time, Dou Zhaobo suddenly flashed out of the crowd and slowly overtook the first position.

"Does Dou Zhaobo want to take the lead? It's ready to bring a fast pace too! "The other athletes judged.

In the race, some athletes with strong examples will choose to lead in the early and middle stages if they feel that the pace is slower. The frontrunner is most worried about being attacked by the athletes behind them, and in the early and middle stages, when it is still very early before the decisive moment, even if the loss of the lead does not have much impact on the position of the final sprint, so there is no need to worry about the surprise attack of the athletes behind them.

However, Dou Zhaobo did not lead as everyone expected, his speed far exceeded the speed required to lead, only to see him break away from the large team and slowly widen the distance from other competitors.

"Dou Zhaobo ran so fast at the beginning, this is not normal, with his strength, there is no need to run like this, then this must be a tactical arrangement! It's going to drain our physical strength, it's a trap, and we can't keep up. The players remembered the conversation between Zhang Guan and Dou Zhaobo before the game. Think it's a deliberate tactic to drain the physical strength of other athletes.

In the middle and long distance running competition, an athlete exerts force in the early stage, lures other athletes to catch up, and then consumes the opponent's physical strength, which is a very common tactic, and some young athletes who lack competition experience are also easily deceived, resulting in excessive physical exertion and inability to follow up in the second half of the race.

None of the other contestants caught up, and everyone thought it was a tactical lure. So still running at a normal pace. But what everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Guan also broke away from the team and then chased after him.

Zhang Guan's idea is very simple, since it is a follow-up run, then choose the fastest heel, and the final result will definitely be better.

But the other players didn't think so, and Zhang Guan's performance made the other players very confused.

"Huh? What's going on? Isn't Dou Zhaobo a tactical lure? Why did Zhang Guan of the same team also chase after him? Dou Zhaobo set a trap, but his teammate Zhang Guan was fooled? It is definitely impossible to have a tactical arrangement for teammates, this must still be a trap. This is a full set of acting! ”

The players behind made "reasonable" judgments, and then thought they were very smart to maintain the original rhythm, continue to maintain a team formation, and follow behind.

……

Today's Dou Zhaobo is in very good shape. The 1500m national record holder has never recovered from winning form after a major surgery in 2003, so he'll need to prove himself on the field as well.

There is a running style of following the run, and there is also a leading running method of the lead. For Dou Zhaobo, the national record holder in the 1500m, he has a lot of experience leading all the way to the finish line, and leading is not a problem for him.

And for Zhang Guan. Running is also not a problem, Zhang Guan, who has master-level follow-up skills, may be the best person in the world at following.

Zhang Guan followed very tightly, but did not initiate transcendence, and Dou Zhaobo could feel that Zhang Guan's rhythm was exactly the same as his own.

"It's quite similar to learning my rhythm! There is a straight road ahead, which is just the right time to change the pace. Dou Zhaobo thought of doing it, and he changed his rhythm after entering the straight runway.

"Zhang Guan is still a newcomer in the 1500m run, and now that I have changed my pace, he should have to adjust for a long time!" Dou Zhaobo thought as he secretly turned his head to observe Zhang Guan.

However, to Dou Zhaobo's surprise, Zhang Guan's rhythm was still exactly the same as his.

"Huh? Zhang Guan kept up with me again so quickly? Dou Zhaobo quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.

"Zhang Guan is the fastest runner in the world, in terms of absolute speed, I am definitely not his opponent, I will be a little slower in the next corner, let him lead."

I saw that Dou Zhaobo slowed down his pace a little when he was about to enter the corner, and after entering the corner, the speed became slower and slower.

Zhang Guan, who was behind Dou Zhaobo, also slowed down his pace, and his speed became slower and slower.

"Zhang Guan is also slow? Why is the rhythm the same as mine? Dou Zhaobo was stunned for a moment and then thought: "I'm fast and he's fast, I'm slow and he's slow, now I can see that Zhang Guan is running with him today!" In that case, I'll just let go and run! ”

Thinking of this, Dou Zhaobo adjusted it again, adjusting the rhythm of the exercise to the feeling he was most familiar with, and reducing the consumption of physical strength as much as possible.

700m, 800m, 900m, 1000m...... Dou Zhaobo entered the straight from the curve, and then entered the curve from the straight, and finally heard the bell of the reminder at the position of crossing the finish line once.

"One last lap!" Dou Zhaobo knew that the moment to decide the outcome was coming.

……

When Dou Zhaobo entered the last lap, Coach Zhou subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the numbers displayed on the stopwatch in his hand.

"Dou Zhaobo's condition seems to be very good today, this speed is quite fast, and if it goes on like this, he should be able to run within 3 minutes and 39 seconds. I just don't know if in the end, his physical strength can hold up. Coach Zhou thought silently.

The 1500-meter Olympic B standard result is 3 minutes and 39 seconds, and for domestic athletes, being able to run into the Olympic B standard is definitely worth celebrating for the whole team.

After 1300 meters, Dou Zhaobo on the field played his strength as a national record holder, even after entering the last lap, his speed still did not slow down, his rhythm was getting better and better, and the other competitors gradually began to fail to keep up with Dou Zhaobo's speed, and the weakest players had fallen out of the big team.

Only Zhang Guan, who followed closely behind Dou Zhaobo, ran through the final corner and entered the straight.

"It was time to sprint, and as I expected before the race, I didn't get rid of Zhang Guan in the whole race! What a genius this kid is! Dou Zhaobo thought about Zhang Guan's performance in the 1500-meter preliminaries the day before yesterday, and then thought: "According to Zhang Guan's rhythm, he should launch a surpass for me at this time!" ”

The idea had just come out of Dou Zhaobo, Zhang Guan had already left the innermost runway, and then launched the final sprint.

The 1500-meter sprint is very rhythmic, and it is not necessary to reach a very high speed in the sprint, but it is necessary to maintain the speed as much as possible. Sustained speed is much more important than short-term high speed. So in the final sprint, the athletes are much slower to overtake each other than sprints. The overtaking of the sprint is almost completed in the blink of an eye, while the overtaking of the middle and long-distance running needs to speed up, catch up, hold on, overtake, and then stabilize the position so as not to be overtaken, which requires a process. From an ornamental point of view, the overtaking process of middle-distance running is not as violent as that of sprinting, but it is not inferior to the level of excitement of sprinting.

I saw that after Zhang Guan began to accelerate, he quickly approached Dou Zhaobo, and at this time, Dou Zhaobo also began to accelerate. However, Dou Zhaobo was obviously inferior to Zhang Guan in terms of speed, and he was finally caught up by Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan has caught up! Much sooner than I expected. Dou Zhaobo quickly measured Zhang Guan's speed, and his heart was shocked.

"I can't catch up with this speed! He has already run 1400 meters, how can his physical strength still support such a fast speed at this time! This is the same as the preliminaries the day before yesterday. At this moment, Dou Zhaobo made such a judgment in his mind.

Dou Zhaobo remembered Zhang Guan's performance in the preliminaries, Zhang Guan at that time had also been following, and there seemed nothing out of the ordinary, and it was not until the final sprint that he showed amazing speed.

Next, in the last dozens of meters, Zhang Guan surpassed Dou Zhaobo, slowly widened the distance between him and Dou Zhaobo, and crossed the finish line with the cheers of the audience.

Dou Zhaobo crossed the finish line for the second, and there was an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart, so he couldn't help but set his eyes on the large timer on the sidelines. Shown above is the first athlete to cross the finish line, which is Zhang Guan's results. Then Dou Zhaobo's face changed greatly.

The timer showed Zhang's final time: 3:35.85.

Zhang Guan successfully ran into less than 3 minutes and 36 seconds!

The Olympic A standard for the 1500m is 3:36.60.

But Zhang Guan's result not only reached the level of the Olympic A standard, but also a new national record!

"It's not over yet, why is there another national record?" Coach Zhou couldn't help but glance at the rostrum, and instantly found the shiny bald head of Coach Yu, and at this moment Coach Zhou finally realized the sense of accomplishment of Coach Yu.

"It's really cool to be able to coach Zhang Guan!" Coach Zhou thought silently. (To be continued.) )
