Chapter 200: Fighting for the Asian Games

There is still a month left before the opening of the Asian Games, but the national team has taken the lead in arriving in Xingkou City, the host of the Asian Games. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is the benefit of the host, who can arrive at the venue of the competition in advance and be the first to adapt to the competition environment, especially the local climate, water and soil.

In ancient times, when the medical conditions were not developed, many people were likely to die in a foreign land when they went out of a long way, and the kind of travel across provinces at that time had to risk their lives.

For athletes, the first thing to do when they go out to participate in competitions is to adapt to the local water, soil and environment. When a person arrives in a strange place, he needs to adapt to the climate, temperature, jet lag, diet, accommodation, and so on. Every time an athlete goes to a new place, they must not only quickly adapt to the local environment, but also quickly adjust their body to the best condition so that they can perform better in the competition.

The national team arrived in Xingkou City a month ahead of schedule, and the purpose was also to allow the athletes to better adapt to the environment of Xingkou City.

Located at the southern tip of the motherland, the climate is naturally very different from that of Huajing City in the north, and the eating habits also make many athletes who grew up in the north feel uncomfortable. The arrival of the national team a month early is considered to be the maximum guarantee that there will be no "non-combat attrition".

A total of five runners from the sprint team participated, Yang Sijie, Niu Guohong and Zhao Yue are all newcomers, of which Niu Guohong is a substitute for the relay race and has no individual individual competition tasks, Yang Sijie is participating in the sprint 100-meter race, and Zhao Yue is participating in the sprint 200-meter race.

In addition, there are also Xie Jun and Wei Zitao, two veterans of the national team. Both of them participated in the last Olympic Games, and their strength is also among the best in Asia, and they are definitely capable of challenging for a medal, and in this Asian Games, both of them competed in both the 100m and 200m events.

For the national team, Yang Sijie and Niu Guohong are just here to increase their competition experience, they represent the future of the national team, Zhao Yue will participate as the third person in the 200 meters, and the national team will not have any hope for him, and the real responsibility of competing for medals is also placed on Xie Jun and Wei Zitao.

In the past month or so, in addition to regular training, the sprint team has mainly trained for the relay race, among which Niu Guohong, who is a substitute, is naturally the main relay race, and others such as Yang Sijie, Zhao Yue and others have also participated in the relay training. Li Dai took this opportunity to add several members of the sprint team to the system's training list, and brushed up on a wave of experience by the way.

With four or five days to go before the Asian Games, athletes from various countries began to arrive one after another, and the Asian Games were about to officially start.

……

The men's 100-meter dash will be held in the preliminary race.

Since many sprinters have to run 200 meters at the same time, in order to keep the athletes from getting too tired, the 100 meters and 200 meters of the sprint will be separated in terms of schedule. The relay race is scheduled for the final stage of the track and field competition.

The three athletes who participated in the 100-meter dash of the national team are Xie Jun, Wei Zitao and Yang Sijie, the first two of whom have participated in the Olympic Games, although they have not achieved much, but they are also people who have seen big scenes. Standing on the field of the Asian Games is even more comfortable, and it looks very relaxed.

Yang Sijie is participating in such an international-level large-scale competition for the first time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous.

However, in terms of Yang Sijie's strength, it should be no difficulty to advance in the preliminary round. The level of track and field in Asia is really poor, and there are many "participation-oriented" soy sauce runners in the preliminary round, such as Timor-Leste and Maldives, where the sprinters sent are also amateur or semi-professional, and can even be classified as sprinting enthusiasts.

The eyes of the national team coaching staff are focused on several strong opponents.

Xue Li pointed to a black athlete and introduced: "That's Clark from Qatar!" Now Asia's No. 1 Flyer! ”

Li Dai said and looked in the direction that Xue Li was pointing, and saw a short black athlete, this person was also 1.6 meters tall, he didn't look very strong, and he looked very old, and he suddenly looked like he was forty years old, but the information showed that Clark's age was thirty years old.

Born in Kenya, Clark later naturalized in Qatar, where he won his first Asian championship two years later, and two years later, he successfully ran under 10 seconds, breaking the Asian sprint record and becoming the first "Asian" to run under 10 seconds.

Clark's success set off a "naturalization trend" in West Asian countries. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain have all begun to naturalize athletes from Africa, so there are many black faces in the track and field arena of this year's Asian Games.

Xue Li pointed in another direction: "There is the Dongying team, the coach with neatly combed hair is the king of Asian sprinting back then, Sasaki Akita!" ”

Compared with the naturalized athlete Clark, the name Akita Sasaki is more familiar to Li Dai, and it can be said that he represents an era of Asian sprinting.

Toei sprinting dominated Asia for almost 30 years, and there was a so-called "golden age" in which Sasaki Akita was a representative of that era. After retiring, Sasaki Akita became the sprint coach of the Toei team, and now he is back in the Asian Games.

Xue Li then introduced: "Do you see the young man beside Sasaki Akita? He is the sprinting genius of the Toei team, Shoo Oda. Shoo Oda is 20 years old this year, and he once ran 9.97 seconds in high school, although it was a record running 4.6 meters in excess of the wind, but it still shocked the entire Japanese sports world. ”

Shoo Oda is considered to be the hope for the future of Dongying Sprinting, although he is only 20 years old, but he has a lot of racing experience. At last year's IAAF Osaka event, he also competed against the world's top sprinters. ”

"Competing with the world's top sprinters, this Oda Shosheng should be the first from the bottom!" Li Dai said with a smile.

"No, it's the penultimate one." Xue Li spoke.

"The world's top sprinter, and what can't outrun him?" Li Dai asked in surprise.

"One of them was sent off for a foul, so there was no result, and Oda Shoo picked up the penultimate one." Xue Li continued: "Our team's Yang Sijie is only a few months younger than Oda Xiangsheng, and the two of them are destined to become competitors, but at present, Oda Xiangsheng has more advantages, and he has more competition experience than Yang Sijie. ”

Dongying just likes this kind of way of cultivating athletes, getting a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old athletes to compete in international competitions, and compete with adults in their twenties who are at their peak. Occasionally win one or two games and brag about it, but when those so-called 'geniuses' grow up, they will soon disappear from everyone. Li Dai opened his mouth and complained.

"This is probably the nature of Dongying people, they like to use the present to bet on the future, but after all, sports training is to come step by step, no one can become a superman overnight, so many times, they seem to win the present, but in fact they lose the future." Xue Li said.

At this time, Li Dai had already detected that Oda Xiangsheng, Oda Xiangsheng's talent in sprinting is B+, which is very good, but it is much worse than Yang Sijie. However, Oda Xiangsheng's ability value is indeed very high, which is a step higher than Yang Sijie.

Li Dai knew that this was probably the so-called ability value piled up with resources.

Although it is a small island nation, it is the second largest economy among the developed countries in the world, and their resources for sports training are also world-class. When they use most of the resources on Oda Shosheng, Oda Shosheng's level will naturally be relatively high.

In fact, Dongying athletes have always had such characteristics, when they were young, they were all "geniuses" once in a century, they were all future world champions, and they were all kinds of crushing peers in competitions. But when they grew up, they gradually became passers-by and were beaten in various ways in the competition.

At this moment, the audience at the scene suddenly let out a sigh of disappointment.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Li Dai couldn't help but look around, and then he vaguely saw that next to the long jump sand pool in the distance, there was a person being helped off the field, judging from the color of the game uniform, it seemed to be a player from the national team.

"It's our people who are hurt!" Li Dai said.

At the same time, Xue Li's mobile phone also rang, and after Xue Li picked it up, his expression immediately became solemn.

In the final of the men's long jump, Fang Haiquan twisted his foot in the second jump! I'll have to take a look. Xue Li said eagerly, and at the same time had already taken a step.

"I'll go with you." Li Dai caught up with Xue Li without hesitation.
