just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 115 [-]-meter semi-final ([-]),
rest area

Everyone in the delegation who also got the grouping information unconsciously began to study it.

"Yang Zuyao, the fifth lane of the first group. Zhao Lin, the fourth lane of the third group!"

According to the results of the group preliminaries, the top three players in each group of the preliminaries were selected first, and then ranked in order according to the best results of the remaining eight players.The quality of a pass can't determine anything, but it also affects some athletes to some extent.

Entering the rematch, there are now a total of 32 players, divided into four rematch groups.A total of 16 people will advance to the semi-finals of the next round.

Each semi-final group can only choose the top three to enter the semi-finals, and the next four semi-final groups with the best results will enter the semi-finals.

Those with weaker strength, if they are lucky enough to be assigned to a relatively weaker group and run out of the top three, they still have a chance to enter the next round of semi-finals.

However, this kind of fluke is really a fluke, and similarly, strength is decisive.Just like in the preliminaries in the morning, he knew that in the group of 7 people, a total of 6 players entered the semi-finals, and there were many replacement places. For those who are really capable, the possibility of being accidentally eliminated is obviously very small.

In the same way, after a round of elimination in the preliminaries, the strength of the players who can enter the semi-finals at this time is further improved. There are almost no weak players. It is really unlikely that the real weak will want to go on.

Compared with the brutal preliminaries where 63 people entered 32, the rematch is 32 entering [-], which is also cruel. This is a real direct cut in half, and the competition for places is extremely fierce.In order to be able to steadily qualify for the semi-finals, many capable players will no longer have any slack, and really start to get serious.

Lin Mu looked at the list of the first group of the semi-finals, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

Yang Zuyao was second in the preliminaries group, with a time of 10 seconds. The overall score is not too low, but as far as this group is concerned, the strength is really average.The competition for the top three can be said to be extremely fierce.

Regardless of the overall strength of the players in this World Championships, most of the players in a rematch group can run within 10 seconds and 10 in their usual and best times. This is obviously a great challenge for Yang Zuyao. To the top three, it depends on the ranking, after all, it is beyond my control.

Compared with Yang Zuyao's semi-final group, Zhao Lin's situation is relatively better. In Lin Mu's view, except for the European champion British Chambers, the remaining players who can be said to be capable are veterans. Drummond, but Lin Mu is doubtful about how much strength this American veteran who has run under 10 seconds many times still has.

After all, they still have to run by themselves. The World Championships is a world championship after all. Not to mention the gathering of famous players, but they are also the fastest runners in the world in recent years. No matter how they are ranked, if they want to stand out, they can only Rely on your own strength.

Lin Mu could only press down his heart.I also looked at the situation of the players in other groups, the national champion Williams.And of course Maurice Green and Tim Montgomery.And the player Kim Collins who impressed Lin Mu very much.

After the list and track order of the semi-final groups were arranged, the athletes were divided into groups and led by the staff to their assigned group inspection areas. The competition was about to begin.At this time, the contestants of the first group of preliminaries have already entered the arena under the leadership of the staff, and Yang Zuyao is also among them.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Yang looks tight?! Is this...?"

Seeing Yang Zuyao's appearance, Yu Weili asked worriedly.As a professional coach, you can tell whether the athletes have problems and whether they are in good condition.

Lin Mu shook his head helplessly, this Yang Zuyao, no matter how he ran this time, he still needs to have a good talk with him when he comes down.With such a character and mentality, I don't know whether to say good or bad.Now Lin Mu is also thankful that he has the ability to stabilize his state. There are problems with his technical thinking and he can't exert his maximum strength, but at least he won't extend his state to become extremely poor. At least he has a guarantee.

"Director Yu, he thinks too much, and now he is a little worried about gain and loss, and his heart is not at ease. Let me tell him later, I hope he can perform normally, and there is still hope to advance to the semi-finals!"

When Yu Weili asked the question, other people were actually listening, and they were also concerned about this issue. The current [-]-meter project is obviously not the problem of a small team of Lin Mu.

They don't know what to say about Lin Mu's answer. Now that the athletes are playing, they can only watch it first!
The eight athletes were all moving their bodies, and the on-site introductions were also going on at the same time. Everyone who came to the scene would give some warm applause. Although this group of players did not have any famous players, they still had at least enthusiasm.

After the introduction of the players, the referee checked the situation of each player for the last time, and waved a gesture, and everything was ready.

At 18:1 local time in Paris and 100:[-] a.m. Yanjing time, the second round of the men's [-]-meter race began.

"... Audience friends, the first group competition of the men's 100-meter rematch will start soon. Now we can see that eight athletes are ready. On the fifth track is our country's Yang Zuyao. The same group of players has..., this The strength of a group of players is extremely strong, and Yang Zuyao will also be under great pressure. Whether he can advance, we look forward to Yang Zuyao's next performance..."

The voice of the narrator Yang Jian was transmitted to thousands of households through satellite signals in Paris, and Yang Zuyao's figure appeared on the TV while many audiences were looking forward to it.

At this time, in front of the camera lens, Yang Zuyao's face looked extremely serious, and he walked to the starting line.A few seconds passed, and the list of players in this group and the times were also displayed on the TV.

At this time, the list of preliminaries and the number of passes in this group were also displayed on the TV screen.

The spectators don’t care about the athletes from countries they have heard of or not heard of, and completely shameless athletes. As for the athletes from their own country, no matter how strong they are, those people can only serve as foils.

"On your marks!"

Before the starting line, the voice of the starter sounded, and they stepped onto the starting block one by one.

"Okay, the competition will start right away. How about the players in this group? The strength is extremely average. As far as we know, there are 10 players with a personal best time and the best time of the year around 10 seconds. It is a great challenge for Yang Zuyao to enter the top three and advance to the semi-finals..."

After stepping on the starting block, Yang Zuyao stepped on the starting block very hard, as if he wanted to throw away all his thoughts, he knew that he was thinking too much now.And in his subconscious mind, he didn't regard the 100 meters as the event he really wanted to run, but he wanted to run well, and he wanted to grasp every little detail.He himself can realize that this is not good, but a person who likes to think and analyze, sometimes it is like this, it is difficult to get out easily.

Squatting on the ground, Yang Zuyao took a deep breath and let it out again.The plastic track is very neat, and there is no possibility of any unexpected things that can affect the footsteps where the shoes are to be stepped on.But he still wiped it carefully with his hands a few times.Then there's the starter...

"...The game will start soon, and the athletes are already in place. The environment at the scene suddenly became quiet, and the referee has made the final confirmation...Yang Zuyao..." Yang Jian's voice was transmitted through the screen, and his voice began to get a little excited.

"Set!"

After confirming that the players are all ready for the game and their bodies are in a static state, the starter issued the preparation command in time.

"boom!"

The game guns rang out.

For athletes, once the gunshots sound, no other factors are considered, only one thought, run!
The same is true for Yang Zuyao, there is no time for him to analyze himself at this time, since the start, his body rushed out naturally under the control of consciousness and inertia.

To what extent?When Yang Zuyao was preparing to issue the order, he recited one sentence silently.However, he can't care about this at the moment. The game will not wait for him to think about it. What he has to do now is to devote himself wholeheartedly.

At this time, the audience in front of the TV watched the athletes run wildly on the track, and they could feel the strong atmosphere of the scene through the screen, noisy, passionate, and turbulent. The competition in just 10 seconds was higher, faster, and stronger. , vividly displayed in front of the world.

Intense competition, the collision of speed and passion, especially in the presence of athletes from your own country.Many spectators who didn't pay much attention to sprinting before discovered for the first time that the 10-second competition, at most 10-second competition, can be so exciting.

Yang Jian's voice also had ups and downs after starting with the players, and his voice became higher and higher as the race progressed: "...the race started, Yang Zuyao started and ran very steadily, just a little behind the competitors in the same group. Currently ranked fifth...

Yang Zuyao, Yang Zuyao's speed has risen, he is chasing, he is now running in the fourth position, and there is still a chance... Yang Zuyao, Yang Zuyao's speed has completely increased, he is still chasing, crossing the line...

Several players were so close together that it was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.good!The results are out!The results are out!Third in the group. He ran his best time of 10 seconds 13, 10 seconds 13. This was also my country's historical breakthrough in the 100-meter sprint event, the semi-finals!Although I fell behind in the front, I chased tenaciously in the end and successfully caught up. I was third in the group and successfully advanced..."

10 seconds 13.

Yang Zuyao walked slowly on the track, silently looking at the score on the timing board next to him, his best score.But he didn't know if he was running his best.What's more, he doesn't know that this is not his special 100 meters, what kind of run he can make the leader, the coach, and even himself satisfied.

According to the promotion rules, his third place has already advanced to the semi-finals of the next round, his personal performance has broken through, and he has even broken through the best domestic performance in this event.But at this moment, he seemed a little hesitant!

The referee next to him finally confirmed the results and signaled to several players that the results were valid.

The applause of the audience on the field resounded again, enthusiastic and passionate, and Yang Zuyao could vaguely hear the occasional voice of "Huaxia, come on!"

Yang Zuyao waved to the audience on the sidelines, exhaled, let's go back first!

"Little Yang, come!"

As soon as Yang Zuyao came off the stage, he saw Lin Mu waiting there in the mixed passage area. He looked very relaxed and waved to him with a smile. For a moment, Yang Zuyao felt a little inexplicable!

Yang Zuyao's breathing was still slightly short, and he walked a few steps quickly to the side of the coach, "Coach...I...!"

Regarding Lin Mu's eyes, Yang Zuyao never doubted that even if it was something he kept in his heart, he believed that the coach could see it.At this moment, he has a lot to say, but he doesn't know where to start.

He patted Yang Zuyao on the shoulder, signaling to go back together.

From the first time he came into contact with Yang Zuyao, he was delighted that Yang Zuyao is a smart and thoughtful athlete.But he also knows that this kind of character thinking has advantages and disadvantages.Until he arrived in Paris, Yang Zuyao had never spoken about his many concerns and a little bit of entanglement and hesitation. One aspect is that he is not good at communicating.What's more, he wanted Yang Zuyao to think clearly by himself.But now obviously, Yang Zuyao did not come out.

He has been observing Yang Zuyao's game silently, very carefully. In the preliminaries, Yang Zuyao's score was similar to that of the rematch. Although 0.03 is really not a small number, but for a capable player who can run for about 10 seconds 10 Say, 10 seconds 10 and 10 seconds 13 are just the difference between accidental and accidental.

But in the two games, Lin Mu found that the nature of the situation was completely different.In that preliminaries, he could clearly see that Yang Zuyao increased his speed according to his own rhythm in the first half of the race. Naturally, he was more comfortable in the second half. Generally speaking, his strength was not fully maximized, and it was very easy and freehand. 10 seconds 16.

But in this rematch, Yang Zuyao obviously had a problem in the first half. He wanted to speed up, but hesitated.It wasn't until the end that they barely squeezed into the top three with their spare strength.Apparently it was psychologically affected.

"Xiao Yang, you don't know what kind of attitude you should use to treat your 100 meters?" While walking, Lin Mu said casually: "Well, you think that your 100 meters is not a special event anyway, and you It is estimated that you will not be able to get a good ranking, so you are running now only for others. You are trying to figure out the results to satisfy others, but you are not sure what kind of results will satisfy you. Try to adjust a situation that you think is the most reasonable, and At the same time, I am afraid that it will affect my 200-meter rhythm."

"Coach, I..." Yang Zuyao murmured, not knowing how to reply. What the coach said could completely reflect in his heart.He was not surprised that the coach could observe this.

"Xiao Yang, I never said it before, because I didn't want to interfere with the athletes' own understanding of the game. Although my way is not what a coach should do. Hehe, but I am also an athlete. My coach was like this back then. I think it is very good. I hope that the athletes can clearly define their own direction, rather than relying on force to force him to make a choice. I can teach them techniques, movements, and help them adjust to their appropriate rhythm. But why and how to run, the athletes themselves must be clear!"

"Moreover, athletes must have a good understanding of themselves, strength, mentality, goals, and direction! What is the reason for me to stand on this track, and what is the purpose of the final results? Is it to satisfy others?!"

Lin Mu's voice was still so soft, not serious, let alone harsh.But Yang Zuyao felt like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
