Chapter 54: Is This Home Field Advantage?

The second lap has entered the final straight track, and several athletes have been unable to keep up with the rhythm of the leader, and slowly fell out of the team, they all entered the Olympic Games with B standard, and their own strength is weaker than that of A standard athletes.

Of course, even the players who have reached the Olympic A standard may not be able to keep up with Ali easily. Although Ali is not as strong as Ramz, he is also a regular winner of the European Grand Prix and the Golden League, and has the potential to win a medal at the Olympics. His strength is definitely above the average A-standard player.

As Ali raised the tempo, even the Brazilian Sosa, who had been leading in the first lap, was slowly a little overwhelmed, and at this time, South Africa's Detel, Spain's Casado, Britain's Baddeli, Morocco's Igouid and Zhang Guan could follow Ali closely behind and maintain the first group.

South Africa's Devontel took advantage of the turn to look behind him and happened to see Zhang Guan, who was following the Englishman Baddeley.

"Zhang Guan also followed? I remember him as an Olympic B standard. It's remarkable that an Olympic B player can keep up with this rhythm. But I guess he must have been reluctant to follow! The 1500m race is only halfway through, and it is estimated that he will definitely fall behind when he runs here again on the next lap! ”

Thinking of this, Devontel didn't pay attention to Zhang Guan anymore, but continued to follow the player in front of him.

And the Englishman Baddeley also noticed that Zhang Guan was following behind him at this time.

"It's Zhang Guan, and he can keep up with this relatively fast pace, which really surprises me. But he runs at a pretty good pace, and it's about the same as me...... No, he's in the same rhythm as mine! ”

Baddeley's face instantly became gloomy, and he keenly felt a sense of crisis.

In middle-distance running, the person who follows them is often the next person to attack them, and many athletes choose the tactic of following in the middle of the race, and when it comes to the sprint, they rush forward and overtake the runners in front of them.

"Let Zhang Guan continue to run so comfortably, his physical exertion will definitely be less than mine, and maybe he will surpass me in the end. No, I have to disrupt his rhythm and not let him run so comfortably. Baddeley thought of this and began to change his rhythm.

"My rhythm has become faster, Zhang Guan should be disturbed by me! Maybe he's about to lose track. Baddeley turned his head slightly, expecting to see Zhang Guan's scrambled appearance.

"I can still keep up, and the rhythm is the same as mine!" This is clearly not the outcome that Baddeley expects to see. In the next second, Baddeley tried to change his rhythm again.

"I don't believe you can keep up this time!" Baddeley looked back and saw that Zhang Guan was still following him closely, and the rhythm was still exactly the same as himself.

"What? Or is it the same as me? But in front of him, it took a lot of effort to change his pace, he is a runner, how can he change the pace faster than me! ”

Baddeley was puzzled, and at this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly threw into the outside runway, and then accelerated to overtake Baddeley's front. Baddeley had just changed his pace of movement, and it was difficult to make defensive moves immediately for a while, so he could only watch Zhang Guan surpass him.

"I was surpassed by Zhang Guan! How is it possible, he is competing in the Olympic B standard! I was surpassed by an Olympic B player! ”

……

Zhang Guan was originally mixed in the leading group and honestly followed, but Baddeley in front didn't want Zhang Guan to be very comfortable with him, so he began to change his rhythm frequently, hoping to disrupt Zhang Guan through this method.

"What's wrong with this Englishman in front? The pace is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, can you still play well. While Zhang Guan complained in his heart, he found that there was a gap between Baddeley and the athletes in front of him. It's not that big, but it's definitely enough to fit a person.

This is the consequence of Baddeley's change of rhythm, Baddeley's change of rhythm in the hope of affecting the runners running behind him, but don't forget that Baddeley's change of rhythm will also affect his own following. That's why there was such a gap when I went back.

Zhang Guan keenly observed this gap, he did not wait for Baddeley to make up for this gap, turned directly to the outside road, and accelerated to overtake Baddeley.

At this time, Zhang Guan became Moroccan's Igouid in front of him.

……

Igouid felt as if there was a different person behind him, and he looked back and saw a red sports vest, as well as a yellow-skinned and dark-haired man.

"Red vest, yellow skin and black hair, it's Zhang Guan! When did he catch up, I remember that I was followed by Baddeley! Could it be that Zhang Guan surpassed Baddeley? How could Baddeley not get stuck in his place? Baddeley is also an experienced player in Europe, but he lost his position and was overtaken by Zhang Guan! Igouid suddenly remembered that Zhang Guan entered the Olympics with a B standard, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Zhang Guan is just a B standard player, don't worry. Baddeley is also unworthy of his name, and he was surpassed by the B standard player, which is really good. Igouid comforted himself.

At this moment, the bell of "Knock Knock" suddenly reached Igouid's ears, reminding the athletes that there was one last lap left in the race.

At this time, the athletes of the leading group invariably picked up their pace, and with the last lap left in the race, it was impossible for the athletes in the front position to continue to follow honestly, and they had to seize any opportunity to try to overtake the competitors in front of them.

South Africa's Devontel was the fastest at speed, and it was clear that he had reservations before, but he took the step and was neck and neck with Ali in the blink of an eye. The two were actually on the same runway at this point, except that Ali was running along the inside of the runway and Devontel was running along the outside.

"Okay, start to accelerate in the next corner, try to overtake Ali!" Devontel thought as he used the turn to continue to observe his opponent behind him.

"Morocco's Igouid is chasing very closely, and Igouid is behind him...... Zhang Guan! How could it be Zhang Guan! Why hasn't he been left behind! ”

Devontel was amazed that an Olympic B athlete could hold on to the last 200 meters without falling behind, which was simply impossible in Devontel's opinion. You must know that according to the past situation, the Olympic B standard players are the last.

"Is it our group that's running too slowly?" Devontel immediately rejected the idea.

"No, definitely not! Today, the speed of our group is not only slow, but also quite fast, Ali's strength is the top in time, he will lead the way, the speed will definitely not be slow, so even Brazil's Sosa and Ethiopia's Daba can't keep up and fall behind, but Zhang Guan can still keep up, and he is still in the fourth position! Is this home field advantage? Is home field advantage really that great? Can you put an Olympic B-standard player in the leading group? (To be continued.) )
