Chapter 18: Breakthroughs and Interviews

"Nani?" Takano exclaimed in Japanese.

Although Takano was the weakest of the three athletes sent by Japan in the 100-meter event, Takano insisted that no one from other Asian countries would be faster than Tsuchie Kanyu. Moreover, Tsuchie Kanyu is a competitor who mainly focuses on the 200-meter event, so his strength in the second half of the race should be stronger, and Takano always firmly believes that in the second half of the race, Toe Kanyu will be able to get rid of Zhang Guan.

But Zhang Guan has become faster.

The duration of the newly upgraded dash skill has been doubled again, and the master dash can keep Zhang Guan in a dash state for 40 seconds, and more importantly, the effect has been increased to a certain extent.

There were still more than 30 meters left from the finish line, and I saw Zhang Guanmeng's force, and he opened the distance between him and Tujiang Kuanyu, and Gao Yejin who was fighting outside the field was just stunned, and found that Zhang Guan had surpassed Tujiang Kuanyu by a large margin.

And Toe Kuanyu on the track had already felt the change in Zhang Guan's speed at the moment when Zhang Guan accelerated, and he wanted to catch up, but found that his speed had reached the limit, and he could only watch Zhang Guan surpass him.

"Baga, he obviously has a faster speed than me, but he deliberately wants to go hand in hand with me, and only when I have done my best will he surpass me! He's playing tricks on me. Tujiang Kuanyu suddenly felt a sense of humiliation welling up in his heart. But he knew that Zhang Guan's speed was not able to catch up at all.

"This speed, I'm afraid it's comparable to Asahara's predecessors (Asahara's Xuanzhi) and Sue-kun (Sugashi Shingo). I didn't expect anyone in the Chinese team to be able to run so fast. Toe looked at Zhang Guan sadly, and Zhang Guan slowed down a little before the finish line, but still crossed the line first.

……

Even Zhang Guan himself had a monstrous wave in his heart.

"Is this the effect of the Master Sprint skill? So powerful! ”

As a party, Zhang Guan could feel the power of the master-level sprint, especially after the full exertion, the airflow driven by the running kept flying past his ears, although he couldn't hear it clearly, but it made him feel intoxicated.

Zhang Guan wanted to try his best, but reason told him not to run too fast, as long as he broke the national record, it was enough.

……

"Well done! More than gone! Come on! First! Chen Jian watched Zhang Guan cross the finish line first, shook the towel in his hand excitedly, and cheered loudly, while the players or coaches of other national teams next to him also cheered.

In comparison, Gao Yejin next to him had a very ugly face, and his eyes were waiting for Zhang Guan, as if he was about to breathe fire. Takano then looked at the scoreboard, carefully looking at the numbers on it.

Toe ran a time of 10.17 seconds, which is definitely a fast time, and if it were placed in the Olympics, it would be enough to enter the second round, and it is rare for Toe to reach such a good level in a race.

However, Zhang Guan was faster than Toe Kuanyu, he ran a time of 10.09 seconds, and rushed into the 10.10 second mark, so Zhang Guan once again broke the national record held by himself and won a skill point reward.

……

Japanese head coach Keikazu Kobayashi, who had just finished being interviewed by reporters, walked out of the athletes' passage, saw that the game was over, and subconsciously looked at the big screen that recorded the results.

"10.09 seconds, who actually ran into the 10.10 second mark. Could it be Tujiang-kun? Kobayashi Keiwa was overjoyed in his heart, but then found that the name in front of this achievement was not Toe Kuanyu.

"Zhang Guan? Chinese? It's the guy who broke the Chinese 100-meter record! Coach Keiwa Kobayashi sensitively felt that something was wrong, so he trotted all the way to find Takano Shin, and happened to meet Toe Kanyu, who was leaving.

"Tujiang-kun, what the hell is going on? What just happened on the field? Kobayashi Keiwa couldn't wait to ask.

"Coach, I'm so sorry I disappointed you." Toe immediately bowed and apologized.

Takano Shinya walked over and said, "Coach, it's not Tujiang-kun's fault, Tue-kun ran a time of 10.17 seconds, which is already a very good performance in his game." It's just that I didn't expect that the young Chinese player named Zhang Guan would be so fast. ”

Takano Shin told Kobayashi Keiwa about the game just now, and Kobayashi Keiwa sighed after listening to it, and said to Toe Kanyu: "Toe-kun, you didn't get the first place, this is not a war crime, you have done a very good job, and you helped us test the strength of the opponent, so that Asahara-kun and Sue-kun will not be at a loss when facing him." Don't be mentally burdened, go down and have a good rest, and don't forget that you still have the 200m race. ”

Toe Kanyu left first, while Takano Shin walked up to Kobayashi Keiwa and asked, "Coach, I will arrange for someone to investigate Zhang Guan's details as soon as I go back." ”

"There's no hurry." Kobayashi Keiwa waved his hand: "You see, someone is more anxious than us." ”

Takano looked in the direction that Kobayashi Keiwa was pointing and found two reporters holding shooting equipment and microphones and walking in the direction of the Chinese team.

"I know them, they are the official journalists of the Asian Athletics Federation." Takano Shin spoke.

Keikazu Kobayashi smiled meaningfully: "The score of 10.09 seconds should be in the top 10 in the current best results in Asia!" Among Asian athletes, as long as they can run 10.10 seconds, it is not trivial, and it deserves the attention of the Asian Athletics Federation. And today's game is too bland, even the official will not give up this news point. ”

……

Chen Jian excitedly rushed to the front of Director Yu, and said as if he was a child: "Director Yu, have you seen it, Zhang Guan ran 10.09 seconds and ran into the 10.10 second mark!" ”

Director Yu looked very calm, he nodded expressionlessly and said, "I saw it, I ran well." ”

But no one noticed that Yu Dao's hands that were trembling with excitement stuffed in his pockets had betrayed his mood at the moment.

When the starting reaction time was displayed, Director Yu had already guessed that Zhang Guan would be able to run better than before. Zhang Guan once broke the national record with 10.16 seconds, at that time Zhang Guan's starting reaction time was about 0.3 seconds, and now the starting reaction time of 0.153 seconds is close to 0.15 seconds faster than before, and Yu Gui calculated that Zhang Guan's real time should be just over 10 seconds. However, the athlete's form has ups and downs, and Coach Yu believes that if Zhang Guan wants to make a time close to 10 seconds, he should be in better shape.

But the 10.09 seconds mark clearly exceeded Yu Coach's expectations, and it was not just another new national record, but also a result of 10.10 seconds, the first person in the national team to do so. Based on the experience of other countries in the past, if a young athlete can enter the 10.10 seconds, it means that he is not far from the 10 second mark.

"Perhaps, we can beat the Japanese in the 100-meter sprint!" Yu Gui couldn't help but look forward to the future.

At this time, a staff member of the national team came over with two reporters.

"Coach Yu, these two official reporters of the Asian Athletics Association want to interview Zhang Guan of our team." The staff member added: "We have called Director Ma just now, and he said that we should try our best to cooperate without affecting the normal rest of the athletes. ”

Director Yu frowned slightly, if it was another reporter, he might be able to prevaricate directly, but it was the official reporter of the Asian Athletics Association. You must know that the Asian Athletics Association is the organizer of the Asian Athletics Championships, and the official reporter of the organizer still has to give some face. Moreover, as the official reporter of the organizer, it is impossible to ask some sharp or difficult questions.

"Okay, let's go to the rest area." After Director Yu finished speaking, he pointed to the rest area in the distance, and then waved his hand to call Zhang Guan closer, and said softly: "Xiao Zhang, there are two official reporters from the Asian Athletics Association who want to interview you." ”

"Interviews? I wasn't prepared at all! Zhang Guan said.

"No preparation." Director Yu continued to whisper: "This kind of official reporter asks similar questions, which is nothing more than asking you how you felt about the competition just now, the ultimate goal of this competition, and at most one more future ideal. Don't be nervous, just be honest. ”

"By the way, Yu Gui, should I answer the question in Chinese or English?" Zhang Guan asked.

Yu Daomeng turned his head, glared at Zhang Guan in some surprise, and said, "Do you speak English?" ”

"A simple conversation should be fine." Zhang Guan said. Zhang Guan also tried to take the graduate school entrance examination back then, but in the end he was not admitted, coupled with the ability to watch English movies, some of the most basic English conversations are still okay.

Coach Yu also suddenly thought that Zhang Guan used to be a high school student who studied honestly, unlike other athletes in the national team who had been training in a sports school since he was a child, but Coach Yu still said: "You don't need to speak English, there is an interpreter in our team." ”

……

The female reporter who interviewed Zhang Guan was a young woman of Chinese descent.

"Mr. Zhang, hello, my Chinese name is Chen Meimei, can we interview now?" The female reporter spoke fluent Chinese.

Zhang Guan, who was still entangled in Chinese and English, was immediately startled, and subconsciously asked: "Can you speak Chinese?" ”

"Yes, I'm Singaporean, so I can speak Chinese." The female reporter smiled slightly and asked again, "Can we interview now?" ”

"Okay, let's start the interview." Zhang Guan replied.

"In the race you just started, you ran the 10.10 second mark and ran a good 10.09 seconds. As far as I know, only four athletes in Asia have ever broken the 10.10-second mark before, and you're the fifth, so I don't know how you feel about that. The female reporter asked.

"Sure enough, it's the same as what Director Yu said, first ask for your feelings!" Zhang Guan thought to himself. Then he thought about it carefully, and found that he really didn't seem to have any feelings, after all, there was a system, and the sprint skills had just been upgraded, so Zhang Guan felt that this achievement was a matter of course.

"Actually, I don't have any special feelings, if I really want to talk about my feelings, I think since I played normally, it is natural to achieve this result." Zhang Guan replied.

This time, it was the turn of the female reporter to be surprised, often when he asked other contestants such questions, the other party generally said "very excited", "very lucky" and the like, and said "of course" was the first.

"What an arrogant athlete." The female reporter thought to herself. In the impression of female reporters, Chinese athletes are often very modest and reserved, but some American athletes often have big mouths.

The female reporter then asked: "Then what are your goals for participating in the Asian Athletics Championships this time?" ”

"Win the championship, of course!" Zhang Guan didn't think about it and replied directly.
