All-round Athlete

Chapter 5: First Battle Victory

On the track, Zhang Guan stepped on the starting block with both feet, feeling a little nervous.

"Everyone on their positions, get ready!" The starter raised the starting gun, and all the athletes, including Zhang Guan, took the starting posture.

I have to say that the two-month starting training is very effective for Zhang Guan. At least in terms of starting posture and force direction, Zhang Guan has caught up with other professional athletes.

Finally, gunshots rang out, and eight athletes on the track rushed out of the starting line, and Zhang Guan also activated the "sprint" skill at this time.

However, at the moment of starting, Zhang Guan fell to the last place. The starting reaction time of professional athletes is generally within 0.2 seconds, while Zhang Guan's current starting reaction time is about 0.1 seconds slower than others. After all, it was only two months of training, and Zhang Guan's reaction time at the start had not fully reached the level of a professional athlete.

Director Yu, who was watching the game from a distance, frowned. As the coach of the national team, he naturally knew that the athlete's starting reaction time had a great relationship with the starting state, but every professional athlete has undergone a lot of training. He has already won the memory of the starting action, and it can even be said that he has formed a conditioned reflex. For excellent professional athletes, even if they are in a poor state at the start, it is impossible for the start reaction time to be slower than 0.2 seconds based on the body's memory of the start and conditioned reflex.

In the men's 100-meter professional competition, the only explanation for the athletes' start reaction time slower than 0.2 seconds is that they were absent-minded at the start. Not concentrating during a race is a taboo in any sport, and it is an unforgivable mistake in the 100-meter race. So Director Yu slightly turned his head to look at Mr. Chen, only to find that Mr. Chen had a faint smile on his face, which was a very gratifying expression.

Director Yu didn't know that Zhang Guan's original starting reaction time was even worse. He was able to improve the starting reaction time to less than 0.3 seconds within two months, which made Mr. Chen very satisfied.

"What's wrong with Lao Chen? My disciple dared to be distracted during the start, and he's so happy!" Director Yu felt a little puzzled, and then shifted his sight to the track, only to find that Zhang Guan had already competed with the first runner. Names go hand in hand.

"What's going on? How did he catch up! The speed is so fast! This is the speed of top players in China." Director Yu's eyes widened. He is the highest-level coach in China and is extremely sensitive to the speed of athletes, so In just a split second, Director Yu made an accurate judgment.

...

The next few groups of players who are going to play are also watching the game from the sidelines.

"What are you doing? You rushed so hard right from the start, so you don't have to fight so hard in the preliminary round!" a contestant said.

"It's normal. After all, it's the first group. The strength is not dominant. Why don't you grab the top two and advance to the semi-finals." Another person said.

"But this kid's speed is really fast. This kind of speed should not be like a rookie, but why have I never seen it before?"

"I haven't seen..."

"No, this speed seems a bit outrageous!"

In the discussion among the people, Zhang Guan was already approaching the finish line. Even if he lost the blessing of the "sprint" skill for a certain distance, Zhang Guan was undoubtedly the first to cross the finish line, and the time in his mind was also passing by. At the moment of the finish line, it stopped precisely at 10.38 seconds.

Afterwards, Zhang Guan looked at the display screen at the finish line, which showed that his final score was exactly 10.38 seconds.

Two months ago, Zhang Guan’s hand-timed score of 10.3 seconds was about 10.54 seconds with electronic timing. Now the electronic timing is 10.38 seconds, which is 0.16 seconds faster than two months ago. Basically, it is the time improved by the start. .

"It turns out that the national competition is nothing more than that." Zhang Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension disappeared without a trace.

...

"10 seconds 38!" Director Yu exclaimed.

This achievement may not be dazzling ten years later, but at the time, it was a very remarkable achievement. Last year, only three people in the country ran within 10.40 seconds. If Zhang Guan's 10.38 seconds were placed last year, he would be ranked among the top four domestically.

Under the domestic athlete selection system and rating system, Director Yu, as the coach of the national team, knows all the elite athletes in each province, but Zhang Guan is obviously an exception. Director Yu recalled those outstanding first-level athletes, Couldn't find any similar information.

Director Yu looked at Mr. Chen with a satisfied face, and said, "Old Chen, where did you find this good seed?"

Elder Chen stretched out two fingers and said, "Two months ago, I found a treasure in the national second-level athlete test."

"A test for a second-level athlete?" Director Yu's eyes widened in surprise. To him, the level of a mere national second-level athlete is as naive as a child's play house. And then, Director Yu remembered the "two months" ago that Mr. Chen said.

"Take part in the second-level athlete test two months ago? Is he a newcomer?" Director Yu immediately grasped the point of the question.

"Yes! He is seventeen years old this year. He is a sophomore in high school. He only started to practice sprinting a few years ago. He has only had formal training in my hands for two months." Mr. Chen nodded and asked, "I can't believe it! "

"It's not just that I can't believe it, I was shocked." Director Yu paused, and then said: "Old Chen, please give me a copy of this kid's information later! The national team needs some new blood."

...

On the track, when Zhang Guan completed the race, the novice task was also completed.

The system prompt pops up again: the task is completed, and the reward is: 1 skill point.

Immediately afterwards, the system's voice sounded: "In addition to learning skills, skill points can also be used to upgrade skills. Next, you can try to upgrade skills."

A sprint skill icon appeared in the middle of the system interface, and the task prompted Zhang Guan to upgrade the sprint skill. Zhang Guan also immediately upgraded his sprint skills.

"The upgrade is successful, the sprinting skill is upgraded to expert level, and the skill effect is improved: the running speed in a straight line is greatly improved, and the duration is 20 seconds."

In the system, the original green icon of the skill has now turned into blue, and the original "straight-line running speed has been improved" has become "larger improvement", and the duration has also changed from 10 seconds to 20 seconds , doubled in full.

"10 seconds has become 20 seconds, which means that the sprint effect can cover the entire 100-meter race, so I can also enjoy the skill bonus for the last distance." Zhang Guan thought to himself.

A new task prompt pops up suddenly:

Now that you have expert-level skills, it is no longer what it used to be. The road to the pinnacle of life has opened, accept the challenge!

Novice task: break a national record.
