Chapter 171: The King of Track and Field

Zhang Guan flipped through the financial statements of the "Champion Fund" since its establishment. In fact, Zhang Guan didn't know much about financial accounting, but Zhang Guan recognized the figures on the reports. Currently, the most important projects of the Champion Fund are The "Free Lunch" plan has only been implemented for a few months, and the cost of the "Free Lunch" plan has already exceeded 3 million, which is much more than Zhang Guan originally expected.

"This is just the beginning. The real development in the future will require an investment of tens of millions in a year! But the money has been spent on real things, and it's worth it!" Zhang Guan put down the report in his hand.

"Public welfare is always a bottomless pit. Even if the money is used where it should be used, it is still not enough. Like this free lunch plan, dozens of schools have been set up. Just spending money like this, the poverty of the whole country There are so many primary and middle school students, and my strength alone is still too weak. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to launch a massive public opinion offensive to attract more people's attention. Waiting for the National Track and Field Championships in two days, I also have to go to those schools in person." Zhang Guan was thinking, while posting the contents of the "Free Lunch" program that could be announced on his blog.

Blogs are becoming popular nowadays, especially for celebrities like Zhang Guan, whose blogs have a very high degree of attention. Several major online media have spent a lot of money to invite Zhang Guan to their blogs. And Zhang Guan also likes to update his blog, and often posts some photos of competitions abroad, such as the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Lausanne two days ago, Zhang Guan posted several photos of Liu Feiren breaking the world record The exclusive photos of these on-site records are very attractive. It is precisely because of the pictures and text recorded in real time on the spot that Zhang Guan's blog can be said to be the blog with the most attention and fans in China.

At this moment, Zhang Guan's cell phone rang.

"It's Director Ma! It's probably a matter of registering for the National Athletics Championships." Zhang Guan answered the phone while thinking.

Director Ma's voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Zhang Guan! What are you going to do? Sign up for the long jump, that's all. What's the matter with the 800 meters? Although the 400 meters and the 800 meters are interchangeable, the 800 meters After all, rice is a mid-range race! You reported 800 meters and I reluctantly endured it, but why did you still have 1500 meters? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"I just think it's not interesting for me to participate in domestic competitions. In recent years, there have been many excellent sprinters in our country. For example, Hu Kai in the 100-meter sprint is very good. Recently, a newcomer named Zhang Peimeng's has great potential, so I won't join in the fun if I have nothing to do, the track and field championships, it's not easy to get that ranking, leave the opportunity to others..." Zhang Guan said casually.

"Tell the truth!" Director Ma interrupted Zhang Guan's words and said sharply.

"Hehe..." Zhang Guan smiled awkwardly, so he had to tell the truth: "This National Athletics Championships happens to be the Asian Games track and field trials. Run the 800 meters in the Asian Games."

"I knew you had other ideas!" Director Ma continued bluntly: "You have no chance."

"Come on, Director Ma, haven't we run yet? Give it a chance! At least let me run the National Athletics Championships before making a conclusion!" Zhang Guan said.

"Go run, no one will let you run!" Director Ma smiled, and then continued: "It's just that in the Doha Asian Games, in terms of men's events, our national team has no plans to participate in the 800 meters and 1500 meters at all!"

"What? We don't participate in the 800m and 1500m? Why?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.

"I'm not strong enough, so I went to seek abuse!" Director Ma said directly.

Zhang Guan frowned: "If we can't go to the Olympics, we will admit it. Why don't we go to the Asian Games?"

"Asian Games? Don't underestimate the middle-distance running in the Asian Games. It's not much lower than the level of the Olympic Games!" Director Ma continued to explain: "Do you know where the highest level of middle-distance running in the world is? It is the West Asia region. Those countries in West Asia Athletes themselves are good at middle-distance running. In recent years, many African and Kenyan athletes have naturalized. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain are all world-class in middle-distance running. Iran, Oman, and Kuwait are at the middle-distance running level. Not bad, even Iraq has strong overall runners. In comparison, our middle-distance runners in East Asia are the worst in the world, and neither we nor Japan have strong middle-distance runners."

"Another naturalized army from Africa..." Zhang Guan sighed softly.

Director Ma went on to say: "This time the Doha Asian Games, our country sent about 900 athletes, which is the largest overseas Asian Games. In addition, there are 400 coaches, staff, translators and so on. There are many people. It is estimated that the number of delegations can reach more than 1,300. Although this number is quite a lot, each quota is actually very precious. You know that our country’s Olympic Games will be held in two years, so this Doha Asian Games, we The main goal of the national team is to train the hammer throw athletes to prepare for the Olympic Games two years later."

Zhang Guan thought for a while, and said: "Our country will definitely not be able to pass the Olympic B standard in the two events of 800 meters and 1500 meters, and we will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games. Therefore, we simply don't send people to participate in the Doha Asian Games. Am I right that the spots go to other athletes who can compete in the Olympics?"

"That's what it means!" Director Ma said awkwardly.

"It's practical enough." Zhang Guan continued, "But it's just right! I will cover the 800-meter and 1500-meter events by myself! When I go to Doha, I will win gold medals for you and save air tickets. and room and board money."

"Hehe, just blow it up. Middle-distance running is different from sprinting." Director Ma went on to say, "If you really want to go to the National Athletics Championships in a few days, go for it, but take good care of your body. , don’t hurt yourself. You still have to continue participating in the Golden League!"

Director Ma put down the phone, sighed slightly, and said to himself: "Did I indulge Zhang Guan too much?"

But then, Director Ma thought of his leader, Director Luo, and seemed to indulge Zhang Guan even more.

There is no doubt that Zhang Guan is currently the "No. 1" athlete in China. With a lot of world records in hand, even Dayao who plays basketball is not as good as Zhang Guan, so Zhang Guan can undoubtedly enjoy more privilege. For example, in terms of asking for leave, it is much more difficult for Liu Feiren to take a vacation than for Zhang Guan. For example, Liu Feiren has applied for two vacations this year, but they have not been approved. Generally, as long as Zhang Guan submits an application, Director Luo will be very happy. Cheerful approval.

The management of the national team is actually quite strict, especially for young athletes, with the exception of Zhang Guan. In fact, no matter in the eyes of Director Luo, Director Ma, or Director Yu, Zhang Guan is still a big boy, or a big boy with a great personality. They may have a special kind of doting on Zhang Guan.

...

Zhang Guan put down his phone, entered the system, and silently checked the new skill.

Skills: follow and run, master level. Run with the same rhythm and speed of the athletes ahead on the same runway, and the physical exertion is 50% of normal. Note: The skill has no effect when there is no athlete in front of the same track, and the skill has no effect when there is a ring athlete ahead.

"Follow and run, the magic skill of middle and long-distance running!" Zhang Guan sighed silently.

The biggest difference in rules between middle-distance running and sprinting is the combination. Sprint sports have one track for each person, while there is a "grab line" in middle and long-distance running. As long as athletes pass the break line, they can merge. All athletes will choose the innermost track with the shortest distance to run. , so the athletes will run in a straight line.

The physical fitness and technical characteristics of each athlete are different, and the physical strength reserve and on-the-spot state of each game are also different. Therefore, some people will run fast and others will run slowly in the game, even if they are always in the same small Athletes who run in a group will also have differences in their physical strength reserves during the final sprint.

But if there is a person who runs as fast as others, and has the same exercise rhythm as others, but only half of the energy consumption of others, it is equivalent to directly announcing the result of the game. Completely blast other players.

Therefore, Zhang Guan’s skill can be said to be a magic skill in middle-distance running. In the race, as long as he crosses the lane line and completes the merge, Zhang Guan only needs to spend half of his physical strength to run behind others’ buttocks honestly. , Wait until the most sprint time to flash to a runway with no one in front, and then sprint desperately is enough. Anyway, the physical exertion is only half of others, and the final sprint is obviously much faster than other athletes.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. "Following and running" can only be regarded as a winning skill, but not a record-breaking skill.

The limitation of this skill is that there must be a leading athlete in front of the same track before it can be used, which means that if you run first, there are no other athletes in front, and this skill has no effect. This skill is also useless if the leading athlete in front is not on the same track.

In addition, the speed of follow-up depends on the speed of the runner in front. If the runner in front runs fast, the follower will naturally run fast, but if the runner in front runs slowly, the follower will of course run slowly. This means that the athlete's final performance does not depend on himself, but on the person who is ahead.

In the case of using this skill, being able to break a certain record depends entirely on luck. The athlete in front of you ran at the world record level, and the follower can naturally break the world record, but if the leading athlete in front is only at the level of a national first-level athlete, then the follower may only run a better than the national first-level athlete Faster grades.

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, August 4th is the day when the National Track and Field Championships and the track and field trials for the Doha Asian Games will be held.
