Director Ma's face instantly became gloomy. It is not easy to win a medal in the track and field event internationally, and the 4 x 100 m event is also a team event, representing the overall level of a national team's sprinting, and the gold content of the medals is very high, so Director Ma does not want to give up the 4 x 100 m event of the Asian Athletics Championships.

Zhang Guan didn't even start 100 meters, and he didn't run 4 x 100 meters at all, and in a high-level confrontation, a Zhang Guan would definitely drag down the whole team, so the 4 x 100 meters at the Asian Athletics Championships basically don't need to be counted on.

After pondering for a moment, Director Ma opened his mouth and asked the other side: "Director Tang, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Compared with other athletes around him, Director Tang is a serious Tsinghua statistics major, and his thinking is much more flexible than others.

Director Tang didn't sell it, and immediately returned: "Director Ma, I think Zhang Guan should be summoned to the national team immediately, and a special person should be arranged to be responsible for his special training in the 4 x 100 meter event. ”

"The training of athletes is not a day or two, and there are only ten days until the Asian Athletics Championships, so it may be too late to train a newcomer into a 4 x 100m athlete." A man next to him spoke.

"That's why it's going to be a special training." Director Tang said and raised the white paper in his hand, drew the appearance of a runway on it, and pointed to it: "Zhang Guan is a rookie player, and he has only trained for 100 meters, which means that he will definitely not run a corner, in the 4 x 100 meter event, the first and third sticks are curves, and Zhang Guan will definitely not be able to run; The remaining second and fourth sticks allow him to run one of them. The second baton player needs to take the first baton and pass the third baton, which requires baton receiving skills and passing skills, while the fourth baton athlete only needs to take the third baton and does not need to pass the baton technique. So we just need to train Zhang Guan to take over the baton and let him run the fourth baton. ”

"That's a good idea." Director Yu nodded: "In this way, among our four athletes, let Chen Jian run first; Shen Storm came to run the second stick; Yang Yao was originally a 200-meter sprinter, with rich experience in the competition and comprehensive skills, so there should be no problem running the third stick; Zhang Guan's fourth run can bring out his speed, and in ten days, only one baton can be practiced. If you're lucky, this 4x100m medal will have to go back to us. ”

Director Ma slapped the table: "It's decided, although there is a change of generals, we can't give up this medal easily." For the sake of national honor, you have to fight once! ”

……

An hour later, Zhang Guan received a notice to participate in the Asian Athletics Championships.

Zhang Guan didn't know what had happened to make this kind of turnaround, but Chen Lao vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Guancheng took the train to the capital that night, and the next day, Zhang Guan arrived at the national track and field team training center.

Yu Gui personally went into battle to train Zhang Guan, and at the same time, the national team also equipped Zhang Guan with a special sparring partner.

"Xiao Zhang, have you ever run a 4x100-meter relay before?" Yu Gui asked.

Zhang Guan shook his head: "I saw others run, but I didn't run." ”

"Then let's start with the rules." Director Yu said helplessly. He is the deputy head coach of the national track and field team, and the coach who is directly responsible for training, and under him are the top track and field athletes in China. But I never thought that as the head coach of the national team, he would explain the most basic rules of the game to an athlete.

Director Yu pointed to the prepared drawing board and said: "This is the pre-run area, and you can't pick up the baton in the pre-run area, and you can't take the baton until the baton area in front of you." The baton receiving area is 20 meters long, which is large enough for athletes to complete the baton. Your fourth runner is tasked with starting in the pre-run zone, taking over the baton in the baton zone, and then crossing the finish line as fast as you can. ”

"I see." Zhang Guan said.

Yu went on to say: "Among the 4 x 100 meters, the baton is the most critical, and the rhythm of the baton is mainly mastered by the baton hander, so you only need to listen to the command of the third baton, he asks you to stretch out your hand, you stretch out your hand, he asks you to take the baton, you hold the baton tightly and rush forward." Got it? ”

"Got it." Zhang Guan nodded again.

"I found you a sparring partner to practice taking over the baton, and in two days, Yang Yao, who ran the third stick, will come, and then I will have a run-in training with you. We have a very tight schedule, only 10 days, so the intensity of training in these days is going to be very high, you have to be mentally prepared. Director Yu said.

"Rest assured, I will practice seriously."

……

"Let's go!"

"Reach out!"

"Stop! Stop it! Director Yu shouted loudly. At this time, Zhang Guan had already passed the baton receiving area, but the baton was still in the hands of the athlete who was sparring.

Director Yu frowned and looked at the two, and said: "It's always been the baton, and the slow running affects the baton, and the first time I encountered the baton, the start was too fast, and the back of the baton couldn't catch up!" ”

The old face of the sparring partner is a little embarrassed red, this sparring partner used to be a professional athlete, and later retired due to injury, originally signed up for the national team's coach assistant, said to be an assistant, but usually have to do some sparring work, hard work, low salary, bad treatment has not been formally established, but the experience of the national team assistant coach can add a lot of quality to his resume, and it will be much easier to apply for coaches in some municipal sports teams or some university sports teams in the future.

This sparring partner did not meet the standards of the national team even when he was at his peak, and now in the face of Zhang Guan, a freak, when he took over the baton, he did not catch up with Zhang Guan's speed at all, resulting in the failure of the baton.

Director Yu also knows that the level of the sparring partner is like this, unless he is looking for an official athlete of the national team to be a sparring partner for Zhang Guan, it is difficult for anyone to catch up with Zhang Guan's speed. The official athletes of the national team are all participating in the National Track and Field Grand Prix in Huangpu, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Director Yu had no choice but to say to Zhang Guan: "Xiao Zhang, this is practice, the main thing is to let you find the feeling of 4 by 100 meters, and familiarize yourself with the operation of taking over the baton, there is no need to fight so fast." When you are more proficient in taking over the baton, Yang Yao should also return to the team, and then conduct formal training. Well, let's do it again! ”

So Zhang Guan didn't use the sprint skill anymore, and finally began to train to take over the baton.

"Let's go!"

"Reach out!"

"Take over! Good, not bad! Stop, let's do it again! Coach Yu motioned for Zhang Guan to return to the running area for another training.

There are three main ways to relay the baton, the first is the push-in baton pass, which requires two players to be very close to each other to complete the baton, but it cannot effectively reduce the running distance, and is basically used by amateur players who have never had professional training.

The second is the upload-type baton, the baton bearer's hand is stretched back, the tiger's mouth is downward, and the baton passer sends the baton from the bottom to the top into the baton's hand. This method is relatively easy to master, but the disadvantage is that when the fourth baton player takes over the baton, he can only hold the front end of the baton, which is easy to drop the stick or affect the speed of running with the baton.

The third is the downward pressure type of baton, the baton is stretched back, the palm is up, the thumb and the other four fingers are open, and the tiger's mouth is facing back; The baton bearer passes the front end of the baton from the top to the bottom, and the baton bearer takes the baton. This method is convenient for running fast with the baton, and the process of passing the baton is more accurate; The disadvantage is that the arm extension of the baton is uncomfortable. And it's also one of the most technically demanding ways to take the baton, and professional athletes take it this way.

The main difference between the second and the third way is that the hand of the baton taker is palm down or palm up, when a normal person takes something, it is definitely more stable to drag it by hand than to grasp it with his hand, but when the athlete takes the baton, the hand is stretched out to the rear, and when running at high speed, the human hand stretches out to the back and the palm is upward, so the technical requirements for the baton person to be connected with the baton are more numerous.

Since Zhang Guan is a newcomer who has never run a relay race at all, Yu decided to train Zhang Guan to use the upload baton. This method does not affect the speed, and it is easy to master, and the technical difficulties of the passing process are on the third baton, as for the fourth baton athletes, they only need to grasp the baton well, and don't drop the baton halfway.

The more important reason is that the time is too tight, and after Zhang Guan fully grasps the baton, the four relay athletes will have to practice together for one to two days, and then except for the time when the plane rushed to the Philippines and the time reported before the game, Director Yu felt that Zhang Guan could master the passing baton very well.

For five days, in addition to some basic physical training, Zhang Guan mainly trained how to take over the baton. And because the competition is approaching, in order to allow athletes to store physical strength, but also to avoid injury, so will not arrange too large training, counting the rest time in training, Zhang Guan's daily training time is about five hours, and the real physical consumption will not exceed four hours.

Zhang Guan's perception is neither strong nor weak, after a few days of training, it is basically familiar with the technical points, and there will be no mistakes in taking the baton, but there is still a big gap from the top athletes.

At the same time, Zhang Guan also hopes to seek help from the system, but perhaps because the baton is not too difficult to pass the baton, there are no relevant skills in the system, and Zhang Guan can only rely on his own practice to improve his skills.

Two days later, Yang Yao arrived at the track and field center and trained with Zhang Guan on the third and fourth baton passes......

Two days later, Chen Jian and Shen Bang also arrived, and the four of them had a short two-day joint training before hurriedly boarding the plane to the Philippines with the national team.
