Chapter 75: The Characteristics of Top Athletes

Sending off the high entropy family of three, Gu Qiantong smiled triumphantly and boldly invited Tang Huai and Li Changyi to go out for a big meal.

It has been three months since he came to the Northeast, and it was the first time for Li Changyi to eat outside the base, looking at the big pot and bowl of Northeast food, his face was full of surprise and amazement.

Gu Qiantong and Tang Huai asked for 6 bottles of refreshing old Harbin beer to celebrate, and poured Li Changyi a glass for the first time.

Watching Li Changyi take a sip every time he clinked glasses and drank half a glass of beer for noon, Tang Huai couldn't help but joke: "Southerners are really not good at drinking." ”

Gu Qiantong squinted at him: "What a good child, no smoking, no drinking, no indulging in messy hobbies!" Such a self-disciplined athlete is generally very promising. ”

Tang Huai drank all the wine in the cup: "It's quite contradictory, this kind of life is also a lot less fun, don't you say?" ”

When Gu Qiantong heard Tang Huai's words, he was afraid that he would lead Li Changyi crookedly, so he decided to carry out a "nuclear strike": "If you think like this, I probably understand why you haven't won a gold medal." Self-discipline is not self-torture, it is indulgence in it. Is your so-called pleasure just drinking and eating meat in large portions? ”

She believes that there are many factors that contribute to the success of athletes, and that even the luckiest people are inseparable from scientific training and hard work. Only by maintaining the love for one's own project, the desire for victory, the persistence of one's dreams, the attitude towards training, and the self-discipline of one's private life can one become the object of the favor of the god of fate.

Tang Huai drank with his head bored: "Yes, yes, you are right." I only complain occasionally, how can I have a meal and take ideological and political classes? ”

"Don't take it seriously, I've seen many talented athletes emerge in the past 20 years, but the vast majority of them have not cherished their own conditions and declined." She turned her head and looked at Li Changyi seriously: "Top athletes may not become famous at a young age, but they must be a group of people who are diligent and have been repeating boring training for more than ten years. ”

These words entered Li Changyi's heart, especially when he had just lost to Gao Entropy and couldn't find a clue to turn the situation around.

After eating and returning to the base, Tang Huai was a little stunned, gave Li Changyi a vacation, and went back to the room to sleep by himself.

When parting, he patted Li Changyi on the shoulder: "There is no shame in losing today, come on and work hard, there are still more than two years to go, if you are beaten like this by others at the Beijing Winter Olympics, you will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life!" ”

Li Changyi nodded heavily, and when he returned to the empty dormitory, his mind was full of the morning game, and he tried to recall the process of the game to see what was the difference between himself and high entropy.

After a while, he seemed to feel that he couldn't figure it out while lying in bed, so he picked up the "The Whip" skis given by his master and went to the training track again.

"We were on par at the start, which means that the starting reflexes, explosiveness and core strength are about the same, and even if I am worse than him, the difference is limited."

This time he skated very slowly, from the starting platform, wave bag to small jump, he simulated the high-entropy body posture, and reviewed the competition process little by little.

"The real gap is gradually widening from this slope, and he must have some unknown skills, so he landed a little faster than me."

Li Changyi stopped under the first small jump platform, knelt on the frozen track, and studied the slip marks on the track like a detective.

The track, which he had just renovated yesterday, was flattened and compacted with a snow compactor, leaving a thin ridge on the surface, much like the noodles pressed out of a dough sheeter, hence the name "noodle snow". (There are many types of snow, such as noodle snow, powder snow, grain snow, artificial snow, and slag snow.) )

Compared to a smooth snow surface, this striped snow surface allows skis to eat deeper and have better stress.

The freshly pressed noodle snow is a delight to the eye, with only two close and parallel sliding marks on it, with occasional cross-slips.

Li Changyi compared the two slip marks, including the depth of snow at each section of the route and each landing point, and he quickly noticed the difference.

The depth of snow at each landing point of high entropy is very shallow, and there is hardly much trace of light fluttering, but at every bend the snow is more than 1 finger deeper than yourself.

This is very illogical, judging from the information in Tang Huai's hand, the high entropy height is 185 centimeters and the weight is 84 kilograms; Li Changyi is 182 cm tall and currently weighs 72 kilograms, and the difference between the two is nearly 20 pounds.

According to common sense, whoever is heavy will fall to the ground and smash the pit deeply!

Why is Li Changyi's landing pit more obvious?

There is also the depth of snow in the corner, in the process of turning, the deeper the snowboard is inserted, the better the stability, but the corresponding friction increases, and the speed is lost, why can high entropy further widen the gap in the corner?

"Could it be that his skis are better than mine?"

Li Changyi looked at the carbon fiber skis in his hand and fell into deep thought, not that the one given by the master was not good, but that there might be a more advanced board.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and immediately ran to Tang Huai for advice.

At this time, Tang Huai was still sleeping soundly with his head covered, and he didn't answer the door at all, Li Changyi sat at the door and waited, and waited until it was almost dark before knocking on the door again.

Tang Huai was very unhappy, and opened the door sleepily: "What are you doing?" ”

"Coach, did you notice the high-entropy snowboard? Can you check what brand it is? ”

"You suspect there's something wrong with his board?"

"It's not that there's a problem, it's just that it feels like it might have a high tech content."

Tang Huai touched the stubble on his chin: "Hmm, this is possible." ”

The competition between high-level athletes has long been not only a physical and technical competition, but also includes high-tech equipment.

For example, track and field athletes desperately use their brains on running shoes, swimmers have shark skin swimsuits, basketball players have insoles are all confidential data, etc.

There is a lot of equipment for snowboarding, and it is not impossible for some athletes to use their hands and feet on skis. Speaking of which, Li Changyi's carbon fiber plate should also belong to the category of scientific and technological blessings.

Tang Huai found the video recorded during the competition, and used screenshots to zoom in on the details, hoping to investigate the model of the high-entropy snowboard, and when he couldn't recognize it, he sent the picture to a WeChat group with many ski enthusiasts and asked professionals to help identify it.

Tang Huai's status as the head coach of the national team is not small in the circle, and as soon as he asked for help, it soon sparked widespread discussion.

About half an hour later, someone went to the official website of a foreign manufacturer and found a similar snowboard, except for the different patterns, the shape size and various details are almost the same, it is a top board priced at 4,000 US dollars.

Li Changyi suddenly realized: "No wonder, there is a reason why you are expensive, I lost on the skis......"

However, Tang Huai criticized him harshly inexplicably: "Fart! You are making excuses for yourself, equipment has an absolute impact on the game, but it is not the decisive factor in the game, you still have to find a gap in your own quality conditions and technology! ”
