Chapter 123: The cowhide is blown up

In the general impression, India is obviously a weak country in sports, at least India has participated in the Olympic Games for more than 80 years, but has not won even a single Olympic gold medal. But in fact, Indians also have sports that they are good at, such as cricket, India is considered the top country in the world, and Kabaddi, the Indian team is known as the Kabaddi Dream Team.

Of course, none of these sports are Olympic sports, but they are popular on a small scale in a certain region, and to put it bluntly, no one plays them. If those sports powerhouses start to develop these sports, India will definitely have to step aside.

Although India is not very good at the official Olympic events, Indians are very good at making gods, and if an Indian athlete can achieve a result, he will be touted to the sky. And the players themselves are also this problem, and after achieving a little result, they began to make a lot of nonsense and put satellites in various ways.

Matthews Binu is a player who has participated in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, so he naturally understands that he has a few pounds and a few taels, but when facing the interview, the Indian nature of talking big still broke out irrepressibly, so he broke out the remarks of "defeating Zhang Guan" two days ago.

After that, Matthews Binu did become popular in India, and most of the people in India really thought that Matthews Binu could defeat Zhang Guan, at least they felt that Matthews Binu had a good chance of defeating Zhang Guan.

But when it really came to the start of the game, when Matthews Binu stood on the field and faced Zhang Guan, he immediately felt empty.

"This is just the preliminary round, Zhang Guan will definitely not try his best to run, I will run a little faster, even if I can't win Zhang Guan, I believe it will not be too ugly to lose! When the time comes, I will say that I am not in good shape today and lost to Zhang Guan by a narrow margin, and I believe that the domestic audience will accept it. Matthews Binu thought as he nodded to himself. Then he changed his mind. Then I thought:

"I should be at the top of this group, what if I play at a high level today? If Zhang Guan is out of the line for some things or encounters an unexpected situation, such as accidentally falling, suddenly leg cramps, breathing without wiping fainting...... Then I really hope to defeat Zhang Guan! Defeat Zhang Guan! I will definitely be a hero of India! ”

Matthews Binu laughed involuntarily while lewd, and then he thought about a bright future and stood on the starting plane. His position is in lane six, while Zhang Guan is in lane three, two runways apart.

Gunshots rang out. Matthews Binu immediately rushed out, his style of running was different from the others, he didn't have a noticeable sprint phase throughout the 400m, and he was relatively average in terms of speed, so he wasn't slow in the corners and not fast in the straights. Matthews Binu is average in terms of absolute speed and explosiveness, but his stamina is acceptable, so he opted for this more average run.

As a player who can run to the semi-finals of the Athens Olympics, Matthews Binu still has some quality. At least at the Asian Games, so soon after entering the second 100m, he was already neck and neck with the runner in lane 7 on the right, which in the 400m event represents the completion of the overtake of the runner on the right.

"Okay. I just entered the straight track and passed one, so I should be in a relatively leading position now! I don't know where Zhang Guan is now, I think I should be on the same starting line as him now! When you enter the corner, take a look at Zhang Guan's side. ”

Matthews Binu just thought of this. But he suddenly found that on the left side of his body, several tracks apart, a red figure suddenly appeared. And then surpass yourself.

"It's Zhang Guan!" Matthews Binu was shocked in his heart: "How is this possible? He was two tracks away from me, and I was so far ahead of him that I was able to catch up with him! Could it be that Zhang Guan is running as hard as he can? It's just the first round of preliminaries, so why should he? What to do? If you go on like this, you might lose two seconds. ”

Matthews Binu suddenly found that his previous calculation seemed to be wrong, and Zhang Guan did not regard this game as a preliminary match at all, which means that Matthews Binu will lose very ugly.

At this time, Zhang Guan was indeed running without reservation, and the big words of the Indian flyer Matthews Binu had already made Zhang Guan very unhappy, although this kind of clown-like behavior, Zhang Guan didn't need to pay attention to it at all, but since he met it in the game, Zhang Guan didn't mind embarrassing the other party.

Another point is that after the men's 400-meter race, there will be a lunch break, which lasts for nearly five hours, and the lunch break will last until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The next 200-meter race has lost its suspense, although Zhang Guan is in the third lane, but he has left the other runners behind, even the eighth runner at the top of the starting position, can only watch Zhang Guan's back cross the finish line.

"43.95 seconds, a time of under 44 seconds! Maybe this result is nothing for Zhang Guan, but it is a new Asian Games record! The commentator of CCTV forcibly found a record and put it on Zhang Guan's head. However, this kind of thing is probably quite worthless, and the system does not give Zhang Guan any rewards.

Matthews Binu looked at his 46.12-second time, his face was full of bitterness, more than two seconds apart, which can not be described as "regretting defeat", reminiscent of his previous interview when he was arrogant, Matthews Binu suddenly had some regrets.

The cowhide is blown out, what to do?

……

Even in December, the midday temperature in Qatar can still reach 28 degrees Celsius, which is not a difficult test for outdoor sports, but it is still not very comfortable. That's why the organisers in Qatar don't have outdoor events at noon, such as athletics, where athletes and spectators have a five-hour break.

After 3 p.m., the temperature gradually began to drop, and the track and field competition continued. The women's hammer throw final starts with the women's 800m heats, and towards the end of the evening, the men's 1500m heats are held.

The Asian Games middle-distance running events are mainly for athletes from West Asian countries, and there are more than 20 athletes in the Asian Games to participate in the 1500-meter middle-distance run.

Zhang Guan was placed in the first group this time, and he was joined by Bahrain's Joseph Carmel and Beira Mansor Ali, Qatar's Bashar Najim and Saudi Arabia's Savin Sarvin. All four are naturalized Africans, with the exception of Saudi Arabia's Savin and three athletes of Kenyan origin, while Savin is an Algerian athlete. In addition, Iran's Mudira and Japan's 1500m No. 1 Shikazu Kobayashi are also in this group, and although his strength is not as good as that of athletes from West Asian countries, he still has a chance to reach the final.

……

In the preparation area, Joseph Carmel, Bella Mansor Ali and Bashar Najim unknowingly got together, although the three played in different countries, they were all naturalized athletes of Kenyan nationality, and Ali and Najim were both from the same region of Kenya.

Saudi Arabia's Savin walked out of the athlete's tunnel and was seen by Ali, who waved his hand at Saven and said, "Saven, we're all here!" ”

Savin also stepped forward and said to Carmel: "Carmel, I haven't had time to congratulate you on winning the Athletics World Cup!" ”

"It's been almost three months, and now I remember to congratulate me!" Carmel feigned displeasure.

Saven walked up to the three of them and asked, "It seems that I came out at a bad time, so I didn't disturb you chatting!" ”

Carmel shook his head: "It's okay, we're talking about Zhang Guan." ”

"Zhang Guan? By the way, he's going to participate in this preliminaries! I really can't understand why he, a sprinter, came to participate in the middle distance race. In the middle distance event, the competition between West Asian countries is fierce enough. There was a sense of dissatisfaction in Savin's words.

"Savin, you're right, their East Asian nation has already won the sprint event, and it really shouldn't be involved in the middle distance anymore." Carmel lowered his voice and continued: "So we were just discussing whether we should think of a way to keep Zhang Guan out of the 1500m final. Savin, would you be interested in getting involved? ”

"Oh?" Savin immediately put on a very positive expression, clearly interested in it.

I only heard Carmel say: "We don't know what Zhang Guan's 1500m level is, but from the information we have obtained so far, he has achieved a time of 3:35.85 in the Chinese competition, and this result should be able to enter the 1500m final." So if you want to keep Zhang Guan out of the 1500m final, you have to use some tactics. ”

"Do you mean we're alternately leading?" Saven asked.

"Yes, alternately leading, and we have to get stuck in a good position as much as possible, in short, we must not let Zhang Guan find the rhythm he is familiar with." Carmel spoke. (To be continued.) )
