Chapter 101 The King of Track and Field: Amazing Results

At this time, Zhang Guan's position is actually a little off. If he is an experienced athlete, he will definitely use two or three steps to adjust it. But for Zhang Guan, a rookie, there is obviously no such adjustment in the corner. Ability.

Next to Director Ma, several other coaches also shook their heads. Zhang Guan's skills in the corners are completely inconsistent with his status as the world's number one flying man. Let alone the world-class 200-meter sprinter, he is compared with the domestic provincial team. The 200-meter athletes in China are worse than others, and even some seedlings in high school are much better than Zhang Guan's cornering skills.

Finally, after entering the straight track area, Zhang Guan's performance was finally normal. Judging from Zhang Guan's speed in the straight track, Zhang Guan's state remained pretty good, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter if you can't run well at 200 meters, but you must maintain your level at 100 meters. If you can't run well at 200 meters and you can't keep your level at 100 meters, you will suffer a lot.

Zhang Guan crossed the line, and at the same time, the smile on Director Yu's face became more intense, and he even said, "It's not a bad run!"

After listening to Director Yu's words, Director Ma became a little angry.

"Not bad? Where is it not bad? Is it not bad? The curve in front of you is absolutely terrible! What kind of eyes do you have? Are you really the former 200-meter national champion? You are really the coach of the national team's sprint event What? Zhang Guan’s level of running, you actually have the nerve to say it’s not bad!” Director Ma’s heart suddenly felt like a galloping horse, and he complained vigorously to the guidance in his heart.

I saw that the instructor looked down at the timer in his hand, and then said: "Yes, the progress in the past few months is still quite big. Three months ago, when Zhang Guan just started practicing 200 meters, I did it for him. In a test, his time at that time was 22.28 seconds by hand, which happened to be 0.3 seconds faster in the past three months, and he could run within 20 seconds by hand."

Director Ma continued to complain in his heart: "Such a bad cornering technique, so what if you improve by 0.3 seconds in three months? So what if you count within 20 seconds... Wait, within 20 seconds?"

The next moment, Director Ma quickly looked down at his timer, and the timer in his hand showed 19.98 seconds!

19.98 seconds, and 20.22 seconds if replaced by electronic timing. Even if the manual timing error of Director Ma is relatively large, the electronic timing will definitely be controlled within 20.30 seconds.

"Did I press it slowly when I started running? Or did I press it too fast at the finish line? Or is the stopwatch broken? It has not been used for a long time, and the battery is low?" Countless possibilities flashed through Director Ma's mind. Emerged, but was overthrown by him in an instant. Director Ma still couldn't believe it. He felt that he might have made a wrong timing. He really wanted to see the numbers in the hands of other coaches around him, but he couldn't save himself. Although there are acquaintances around, Director Ma is the leader after all, it would be a bit embarrassing if he made a mistake even with a stopwatch.

So Director Ma turned his gaze to the electronic timer on the sidelines.

"20.23 seconds! The electronic timing is 20.23 seconds! It turns out that my timing is not wrong, and the stopwatch is not broken. At this moment, why do I still think that the stopwatch is not broken! 20.23 seconds, 0.31 seconds faster than the 200-meter national record of 20.54 seconds! It's only 0.2 seconds away from the Asian record! This is not only good! It's amazing! Is this true? Will the electronic timer be broken? Impossible, it is in line with the results of my stopwatch, my It is impossible for the stopwatch to be broken together with the electronic timer! Oh! Why do I wonder if the stopwatch is broken? I should think about 20.23 now, right 20.23..." Director Ma felt his thoughts become confused.

The 200-meter sprint, with a time of 20.23 seconds, was enough to confuse the other coaches present.

It was quiet, no one spoke, except Director Yu's smile became more abundant. This on-site effect made Director Yu very satisfied. He raised his head slightly, feeling the pleasure of proving that he was still young, but he found that there was no People pay attention to themselves, everyone is staring at the results in a daze, and then, Director Yu decided to add another fire!

Director Yu said: "The running is not bad. In this simulation test, Zhang Guan's performance is relatively normal, so there is still a lot of room for improvement. I think as long as we continue to train, we can run within 20 seconds. It is only a matter of time." question."

"Run in 20 seconds!" Everyone gasped at the same time. The 20-second mark for 200 meters is the same as the 10-second mark for 100 meters. It is an insurmountable natural moat for Asian athletes. Now the Asian record happens to be 20.03 seconds created by Shingo Suekaku, followed by Koji Ito's 20.21 and Shinji Takahira's 20.29. As for the world record, it is 19.32 seconds set by the legendary American flying man Michael Johnson in 1996. This figure is too far away for any athlete.

In the 100-meter event, the gap between the Asian record and the world record is about 0.23 seconds, but in the 200-meter event, the gap between the Asian record and the world record has reached 0.71 seconds. Although it is only 100 meters more, the gap is much larger more than double.

But Michael Johnson is a legend, and his world record of 19.32 seconds is also a natural barrier for black players in Europe and America. Even among Americans, no one has been able to come close to this number in recent years. Take Sean Crawford, the champion of the 200-meter event in the Athens Olympic Games, for example. achievement.

No one expects that Zhang Guan can break Michael Johnson's world record. After all, it is too far away, but as long as he can enter within 20 seconds, he will have the opportunity to stand on the top of the world. In the official competition, as long as he plays a little A little bit better, the opponent's performance is a little bit worse, and it is very possible to win a world championship.

Thinking of the possibility of running under 20 seconds, Director Ma suddenly became excited. It would be a major breakthrough in the history of track and field events. At this moment, in his eyes, this bald Director Yu suddenly became so cute. As for the cornering skills, it is not a problem at all. Anyway, Zhang Guan is still young, and his skills will always improve if he practices slowly.

"Zhang Guan's ability to achieve such a good result is due to his guidance! Well, if you have any difficulties in Zhang Guan's next training, you can ask me at any time. If the national team can solve it, I will definitely solve it for you. If the national team can't solve it, I will report it to the center and try to help you solve it." Director Ma praised Yu's guidance a lot, and then continued: "I think there will be competitions in a few months, you can choose some competitions and let Zhang Guan To run a 200-meter event, gain some competition experience, if possible, I hope he can participate in this East Asian Games."

"The next East Asian Games will be held in Macau. It's our home stadium. I think Zhang Guan will be able to run well, maybe even surpass the Japanese." Director Yu said.

"Don't put too much pressure on him. He is still young and has a long way to go. With his potential, the future is limitless." Director Ma finished speaking, approached Director Yu, and said softly: "In the past three months How about Zhang Guan's business activities?"

"It's okay, mainly because I went to shoot an advertisement, and then I went to participate in an event at the university, and nothing else." Director Yu thought for a while, and asked softly, "Why? What's the wind blowing from above?"

Director Ma nodded slightly in default, and then said: "The swimming center and the little diving prince are a little stiff, and the swimming association may have to take some measures. We are also waiting to see this matter, and the association's There are also differences."

"Do you want to remind Zhang Guan?" Director Yu asked.

Director Ma frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We brought Zhang Guan out with our own hands. I watched him grow up little by little, broke the Asian record, broke the world record, and became the Olympic champion. In fact, I am very grateful to him in the bottom of my heart. He let me see the hope of our country's track and field in the future, because of him, I firmly believe that our country's track and field will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the world, and I regard him as the greatest achievement in my life! I think you are more than what I have witnessed many."

Director Ma calmed down, and then said: "As far as I know, Zhang Guan's agent team is not ordinary. I'm afraid that even if the above uses some means, this agent team will not submit obediently. Although I don't want The relationship is too tense, but let's not get involved in the fight between the gods, let's call Zhang Guan to the office later, and I will talk to him in person."

...

Ten minutes later, Zhang Guan met Director Ma in the office, and there were only the two of them in the office.

"Zhang Guan, you have to continue training for the 200 meters, and strive to win a world champion in the future!" Director Ma first encouraged Zhang Guan, and then asked about Zhang Guan's recent training situation before turning his words to Got to the point.

"I don't know if you have paid attention to the news about diving recently, about the little prince of diving. You may have heard about him. I just got a piece of news here. It's a gossip. It may not be accurate. Director Ma continued cryptically: "The swimming center may use some very severe punishments."

Zhang Guan nodded. He had already recalled this incident. From some fragments of news in the future and some posts on some forums, Zhang Guan probably knew more about this incident than Director Ma now.

Director Ma went on to say: "In fact, all domestic associations are also very concerned about this matter, including our track and field association. Once the punishment of the swimming association comes out, it is likely to become the basis for punishment by other associations in similar situations. , your situation is similar to his. He has signed a contract with a special entertainment company and has also found his own agent; and although you have not signed a contract with a special entertainment company, your management team can be regarded as one of the best. So once The Swimming Association has decided on his punishment, which will definitely have a great impact on you and your management team."

Zhang Guan took a deep breath and asked, "What do you think above?"

"Our center can't make decisions about this kind of thing. The key is to look at the opinions of the association, and now the opinions within the association are not unified." Director Ma leaned forward and said in a softer voice: "On this matter, In fact, the vast majority of leaders are still very neutral and have not expressed their opinions clearly. After all, the development of athletes' commercial value is to cross the river by feeling the stones. No one knows whether it is good or bad. Only a few people clearly hope to take back your money The right to commercial development requires you to disband the agent team. Now I am worried that once the punishment of the Swimming Association comes out, it means that there is a basis, and those neutral people may change their positions at that time."

"Thank you, Director Ma." Zhang Guan said sincerely. He knew that standing in the position of Director Ma, he shouldn't tell himself so much, and Director Ma was willing to tell himself this more because of his feelings for his disciples as a coach.

And Zhang Guan also knew that the champion team might face another big trouble.
