just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 136 Reasonable Expectation
At the finish line, he stopped. Yang Zuyao heard his shortness of breath like a bellows. He raised his head and looked at the other competitors.At this time, his face was full of exhaustion, and his body naturally gave out a tired message.But the smile is in full bloom!
He made it to the final, he ran first in the semi-final group, and more importantly, he broke through himself. The scene that appeared in the preliminaries was not repeated. Although the performance was not ideal, he will continue to strengthen it next time.But no matter what, it can be regarded as a good result, a result that he could not even imagine!
Compared to these, a little tiredness is nothing...

The moment he just crossed the finish line, he didn't know how much difference there was between himself and the other players. In the last stage, he really had no distractions, only the 3rd and 4th lanes that were not far away and kept chasing each other. He knew he had passed. .Seeing the result display, he was sure that this was his own!
About half a minute later, on the big screen, the results of the men's 200m semi-finals were presented one by one:

1. In the second course, Yang Zuyao, Huaxia, had a reaction of 0.220 and a score of 20 seconds;

2. Fourth track, Barton, USA, reaction 0.206, score 20 seconds 23;

3. The third track, Demerit, Bahamas, reaction 0.244, score 20 seconds 36;

……

"Congratulations! You ran well, let's compete again in the final!"

Yang Zuyao, who was panting heavily and looking at the information on the screen, was patted, and a slightly panting voice came from his ear.It's not Chinese, it's English, but he understands it.

The voice has its own heart, a few simple words, not only has the recognition of competitors, but also issued a new declaration of challenge.

Yang Zuyao turned his head to look sideways, and it was Barton, an American athlete who had been entangled with him for half the time, leading, falling behind, leading again, falling behind again, and turning back and forth several times.

"You ran very well too! See you in the final!" He also praised in English, patted Button's hand, and Yang Zuyao also made his own voice.

The two smiled at each other and patted each other on the shoulder.

Three semi-final groups, the top two in each group will advance directly, and then the remaining two athletes with the best results will enter the final.He and Barton are the top two and have already advanced!

Although they competed against each other, Barton lost in the end, but it was always a happy thing to be in the final. Compared to the frustration or anxiety of others, both of them were in a good mood. .The two of them chatted for a while.

Yang Zuyao was a little emotional. He had also participated in the World Series before, but this was the first time he had communicated with foreign athletes.It's not that he's introverted, and it's not that he doesn't understand the language. He still knows English.He knows that in the end it depends on strength, if he is weak.He believed that no one would care about him!

The next group of contestants was about to enter the arena, and the two didn't talk any more, and separated after waving goodbye.It was only at this time that Yang Zuyao felt his body was sore and tired, and he was extremely tired.But his spirit is not bad. He had many thoughts before the game. Now that the semi-finals are over, this result has appeared. After his own hard work, he is still excited to get such a result.Especially after winning against so many opponents who were once out of reach!
Yang Zuyao didn't look at the situation of the other people in the same group, waved his hand to the place where the red flag was flying, and left the arena with big strides.

After passing through the corridor and entering the mixed passage area, he ignored the occasional shouts of several reporters through the baffle.Turning to the rest area, he saw a familiar figure looking at him with a smile. After the excitement and excitement just now cooled down a little, another different situation rushed into his mind.

"coach……"

Hurry up a few steps, walked in front of the figure, and only yelled two words, the expression on his face couldn't help tightening, he lowered his head slightly, and his eye sockets couldn't help being a little moist!
He failed to make it to the final in the [-]-meter race, and he lost because of his inner struggles. If he didn't regret it, it would be a lie, and he blamed himself for not living up to expectations.I failed myself, and I failed the coach even more.Although the coach did not blame him!Still smiling to encourage him and lead him forward.

Now in the 200 meters, he has finally entered the final, and his performance has improved again, and all the backlogged emotions in his heart have been released.And he has already decided in his heart that in the finals, he will work harder.Just like his little junior brother, bursting out all the strength in his body!
"Xiao Yang, you ran well just now!"

Lin Mu stepped forward to give Yang Zuyao a hug, and patted him on the back lightly.With a warm smile on his face, he said softly: "It should be very good, because you defeated yourself! Moreover, now you can see that those opponents are not so terrible, and you are also very strong now! In the future, you It will also become stronger and stronger! Run more and better results, and run your own way in the future!"

"Coach, I..."

Yang Zuyao looked up at the coach, then lowered his head again, his voice was a little hoarse, he seemed to be choked up for a while, he didn't know what to say.

"In competitive sports, there are winners and losers. It is not terrible to lose once. As long as you can improve, keep breaking through yourself. You can step on the road! Now you have taken the first step...

You have won national championships, broken national records, and now you have broken national records consecutively.Running into the finals of the World Championships, at your age, there are not many people in the world.I am gratified and delighted to have achieved good results, but I am even more gratified that you can clarify yourself and have a strong heart.I am proud to have disciples like you and Zhao Lin..."

Lin Mu smiled and said slowly, from 20 seconds 33 to 20 seconds 08, a leap forward improvement.Yang Zuyao's result in the semi-finals was 0.25 seconds faster than his performance in the preliminaries. How he got there was due to his tenacious will in the middle of the race.This kind of performance has already greatly exceeded his expectations, and he can see that in that final stretch, his body has almost lost some muscle inertia, and now he can expect more.As long as Yang Zuyao can continue to run down in the final, the results can really be expected.

Therefore, right after the game ended, Lin Mu came to the exit of the tunnel, waiting for Yang Zuyao.It is not only a compliment to his disciple's achievement breakthrough, but also an affirmation of his ability to strengthen himself.Compared with Zhao Lin, Yang Zuyao's heart is more sensitive.Maybe in many cases, Yang Zuyao needs the affirmation of others more.

After coaching athletes for such a long time, Lin Mu also kept analyzing himself. In the past, coaching students was very simple, and he could do it by himself.But when he came to the national team, he brought three people with him, Shen Huan, who had different personalities, thoughtful thoughts, and skills, and finally parted ways.Shen Huan was responsible, but Lin Mu knew that he also had his own responsibility.Since then, he has actually been consciously changing himself.

Zhao Lin, who looks carefree but also has a careful side, is a young man with strong feelings, a sense of honor, and a sense of gratitude.Lin Mu subtly encouraged Zhao Lin with his calm and self-confidence.Language is very important, but sometimes the effect of speaking is not necessarily as strong as the care that is unconsciously released.

But now when facing Yang Zuyao, people with very sensitive minds sometimes have worse language effects.Lin Mu has never studied psychology, but thinks empathetically.If you are a person with endless thoughts, then you may analyze a word of others many times in your heart.So from the very beginning, Lin Mu has always followed a path for Yang Zuyao to clarify himself.Now that he finally saw the effect, it is necessary for him to give Yang Zuyao more affirmation!
Listening to the coach's gratifying words, Yang Zuyao took a breath gently, and it seemed that all the disharmonious gloom was dispelled in his heart for a moment!A knot that had always been vaguely tied was untied!
He just wants to win now, run better results, and win more opponents.In his sports career from childhood to adulthood, he has never felt such a happy mood for a moment. This is what he won by breaking through himself!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

"Coach, Brother Yang!"

Zhao Lin and Liu Ren rushed in from the mixed passage area, both of them had smiles on their faces.Zhao Lin ran faster, and shouted before the person arrived!
"Old Liu, Xiao Zhao, are you going back?!"

Lin Mu looked at the two of them and said with a smile.While speaking, he patted Yang Zuyao, motioned to go together, and walked towards Liu Ren and Zhao Lin.

"There is still some time, don't rush!"

When he got closer, Liu Ren pushed aside Zhao Lin and walked in front of Yang Zuyao. .

"Xiao Yang, your running is very good. It's better than I imagined. I really didn't expect that one day you will be able to run such a result!"

When Yang Zuyao heard Liu Ren's words, he smiled brightly. His former coach was also someone he respected, and he felt even better after being recognized and affirmed by him!

"Coach, thank you!" Taking a step forward, Yang Zuyao hugged Liu Ren vigorously.

"Hey, take it easy, kid." Liu Ren felt the strength on his shoulders, first pretended to let out a cry of pain, and then said with a smile, "Your strength is really great now, it's not in vain, haha, not bad! I will It’s true that I thought about it with you at the time. It has strength, speed, and agility. Follow your coach Lin and work hard!”

"Thank you!"

Almost instantly, Yang Zuyao thought of those days when he was with Liu Ren, and looked at Liu Ren with a lot of emotions unconsciously.

Once felt that the strength had reached a bottleneck.Liu Ren tried to find a way for himself to break through, groping and experimenting a little bit, analyzing and cooperating by himself.Although there was not much effect in the end, it caused some impact in some aspects.But Yang Zuyao knew in his heart that Liu Ren was trying to make himself better, so he never complained.Under Coach Lin, Liu Ren always cared about himself, especially when the relay team was training.This is a trainer who treats himself well!
"Boy, why don't you thank me? If you want to thank me, thank you Coach Lin..."

Liu Ren understood the meaning in Yang Zu's dazzling eyes, and smiled like a flower on his face.Nodding his head, he shook his head again, his eyes couldn't help getting moist, and he stretched out his hand to pat Yang Zuyao lightly.

Athletes need validation from others, spectators, coaches, leaders, et cetera.Coaches also need the affirmation of others, especially their athletes.Because I spend more time with them than with my relatives, wives and children.

He paid, although his attempt to make Yang Zuyao stronger failed, but he always treated it with sincerity.Now the athletes can understand him, and they don't have any thoughts about him because of the difference in the training effects of the two coaches before and after, which makes him a little emotional.

"Old Liu, you are an excellent coach!" Seeing Liu Ren's appearance, Lin Mu patted Old Liu on the shoulder lightly, and said sincerely.

He could somewhat understand Liu Ren's mood. He said that Lao Liu was an excellent coach, and he didn't just boast.He really felt it too!

Because he thought about it, if he put aside the series of assistance that Baike gave him, he really might not be stronger than Liu Ren.This is a competent, thoughtful, responsible and persistent coach.Although in Yang Zuyao's body, his ideas and changes failed.Without his own appearance, maybe Liu Ren would not have brought Yang Zuyao to such a high level in the end.But Lin Mu always believed that Liu Ren would not give up, and one day, he would find a correct path.

"Xiaolin, thank you!"

"Don't thank me! Let's go back, don't make the leaders wait too long. Let's talk later!"

……

"Old Feng, Lao Yu, the performance of these two athletes led by Xiao Lin really exceeded my expectations this time, and really gave me too many surprises. It's a pity, it's not the Olympics!!"

Not far from the rest area, Luo Yi stood in the stands of the Stade de France, watching the men's 200m semi-finals that were still going on, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He lamented that he had no hope at all, and his impression was that he was going through the motions.Or rely on the hard work of the athletes to exchange for a small breakthrough in the men's sprint.It is unimaginable to be able to enter the finals, or even win gold and silver.

"Director, don't talk about you, I didn't even expect to get along with them often..." Yu Weili touched his bald head, and the smile on his fat face turned into a chrysanthemum, "I know that the athletes led by Xiaolin have always Stable, stable results, stable state. This is recognized in the team, and Mr. Gu paid special attention to this at the beginning, so he recommended it to Mr. Feng..."

Feng Yong on the side didn't interject, but nodded in agreement with a smile, it's true, it's really stable.The coach is stable, and the athletes are also stable. It seems that there is no bottom line, only surprises!

"Before I came, I communicated with Xiaolin. Xiaolin said that this trip will inspire the people of the country and the results of our track and field team. I was looking forward to it, but I didn't expect the satellite to be so big now!" Yu Weili became more and more excited. Feeling, it's really big, I have won the world championship, and now I have entered the final of the 200m. : "Director, Mr. Feng, I have a feeling that this satellite has not been released yet!"

"Oh? Did you see something?"

Luo Yi raised his brows, looked at Yu Weili's serious expression, looked at each other with Feng Yong during the questioning, and smiled at each other.

Yu Weili nodded lightly, and said thoughtfully: "I can see that, in fact, we front-line coaches all have a habit. While training and improving our athletes, we all like to study our opponents. For example, technical movements , as well as status. The problem now is the status."

As if suddenly thinking of it, Yu Weili suddenly said: "Maybe Xiaolin can release those exciting words earlier than I read it?!"

Yu Weili followed up and said with certainty: "I must have seen it a long time ago. Xiaolin has the nickname of "Golden Eyes" in the team. The technical details of the athletes, the state of exercise, and the changes in the body, a pair of naked eyes are the same as those detected by the machine. Look Very accurate!"

Feng Yong chuckled a few times, he had also heard about this nickname, in fact, according to what he knew, this nickname was not too false.

"Because there were several world-class sprinters in the previous 200-meter race, I didn't pay special attention to it. Now this [-]-meter race, I can see it. These athletes are really not in good condition. The personal best is good, but this year's best Good grades and the current state are not good."

"Director, Mr. Feng, although I saw that they were not in good condition before, I didn't dare to expect much..." Yu Weili continued seriously: "Because we know that although we say that they are not in good condition, running for 20 seconds It is not difficult for them to fight for 30 or 20 or even 20. According to Xiao Yang's result in the preliminaries, he can't compete. But Xiao Yang's time of 20 in the semi-finals gave me too many surprises. I really have reason to look forward to it now!"

"Mr. Feng, do you see that the athletes under Xiaolin's leadership, after their performance has improved, have their performance regressed when there is no health accident?"

Yu Weili's inquiry with an affirmative tone caused Feng Yong to fall into a short memory!
