just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 138 Finals Begin

"Move your arms and legs more, and try to move your shoulders and hip joints during warm-up activities. The game in a while..."

On the warm-up track in the inspection area of ​​the Stade de France, Lin Mu's eyes followed Yang Zuyao's activities, pointing out from time to time.

A soft shout sounded beside the runway, and Lin Mu followed the sound and turned his head to look over, and asked in surprise, "President Feng and Director Yu, why are you here?"

"The final is coming soon, let's come and see how Xiao Yang is preparing?"

Feng Yong looked at Yang Zuyao, who was meticulously warming up in the middle of the warm-up track, with a smile on his face unconsciously and said: "Besides, Xiao Lin, from the [-] meters to the present, come to the inspection area to accompany the athletes Warm up, this is your first time. We are all curious, is it because you, Xiaolin, are going to give athletes a little trouble!? Haha!"

He was in a good mood and made a rare joke.I just finished a brief interview with the female CCTV reporter. This World Championships was originally the most important event for all parties. Both Liu Xiang and Shi Dong successfully advanced to the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-final. This is another breakthrough in history and full of surprises. score. .

The female reporter who has been following and reporting on Liu Xiang finally mentioned that she wanted to interview Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao's coaches, and after learning that they were the same person, she was more interested.This reminded Feng Yong that Xiaolin seemed to be accompanying the athletes to warm up before the match for the first time in the inspection area.

Therefore, tonight's Huaxia team's last event, the men's 200-meter final, is about to begin. After saying hello to Luo Yi, he and Yu Weili came to the inspection area to have a look.

Lin Mu walked up to the two leaders, and replied naturally with a smile: "Yang Zuyao's mentality is very stable, and his physical condition is also in good condition. The technical adjustment is also getting better and better. But at this point in the game, it is impossible for us to Give him any request, let him let go and run according to his own heart."

"Yes." Yu Weili nodded, "In the world-class track and field competition, in the men's sprint event, it is completely unimaginable for us to have a Chinese athlete who can enter the final. Now there are four places in front and back. Hurdles It’s a little bit easier to say, after all, the combination of skill and strength. We yellow people have never been inferior to others in terms of skills, but they compete head-to-head... I really look forward to their Olympic Games next year, or even the Olympic Games five years later. Know how it will play out."

"Xiao Yang is here, do you want to say something to President Feng and Director Yu?"

Lin Mu looked at the warm-up track. Yang Zuyao had finished the whole group of warm-up items, panted slightly, and stopped.He turned to Feng Yong and asked.

"Hehe..." Feng Yong frowned slightly, then smiled, shook his head and said, "Let's forget it, I don't worry about the people you bring, just follow your own ideas, don't let us talk too much and affect the young man Well, I’m just here to take a look, just out of curiosity, this is really the first time you’ve come to the inspection area with me. Okay, Lao Yu, let’s go, it’s nothing special! Let’s go back to the stands and wait for the game to start!”

After Feng Yong made another joke, he left with Yu Weili!
Lin Mu looked at the backs of the two leaving, with a faint smile, and he knew that the more surprised they were, the less regretful they were.My heart is tense.I want to take a look to make my heart feel more at ease.In fact, he is also nervous, and it is impossible not to be nervous, but he believes in his previous observations and the reactions on the encyclopedia.

The running-in between acceleration skills and skill gaps is getting better and better, and Yang Zuyao has adapted very well.After breaking through his defenses, his running-in has progressed extremely fast. As long as he is a smart and analytical athlete, as long as he doesn't make fools of himself, he will really improve rapidly.The personal status shown by Encyclopedia is also in full swing, and he has reason to believe that Yang Zuyao can achieve a good result.Of course, if other athletes break out and run with the best results, then it’s okay, the strength lies there.

Turning around, he walked towards Yang Zuyao who was recovering from the sidelines.

"Physical activity is almost enough, take a break first, and then go straight to the game later."

Lin Mu smiled and told Yang Zuyao in front of him, I don't know if it was his own illusion. Compared with the previous few days, Lin Mu found that Yang Zuyao's mentality seemed to be more and more determined.Could this be the role of the new talent skills?

After the coach level was upgraded to a senior coach, the automatic update of the encyclopedia ended last night.Lin Mu discovered that there was an extra talent skill on his coach panel.There are only four simple words, Iron Will, no description, no introduction.Lin Mu analyzed it for a while, and finally guessed that it could only affect himself or the mentality and will of the athletes on the list.

Now it looks like it should be more or less effective, right? !
Even when he took Zhao Lin with him in the morning, he felt that he looked a little more resolute on his immature face.As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, and only when the mind is more determined will it show on the face.This is a kind of baptism exercise, as well as the maturity of mentality and the breakthrough of will!

It is also because of this that Lin Mu specially accompanied Yang Zuyao to the inspection area to warm up for the purpose of observing more closely.

Yang Zuyao lightly made a few arm swings and stretches, took a few breaths, and nodded, "Coach, I'm ready, don't worry!"

For the coach to accompany him to warm up today, Yang Zuyao is very warm in his heart. He knows that it has been more than half a year since he led the athletes.It seems that the coach has never picked up the athletes, let alone accompanied any athletes out to warm up.The previous Shen Huan broke the national indoor 60-meter record at the start.And Zhao Lin, who broke through the history of Asian sprints and broke the theory of race, has never enjoyed it.And he has it all!
"Well, I'm very relieved about your matter now. I won't go back to the stands for a while, and I'll just wait for your game to end behind the advertising board at the finish line." Lin Mu nodded with a smile.

Next to the warm-up track, other contestants in the men's 200m final have almost finished their warm-up. Accompanied by their coaches or teammates, they drink water and rest, waiting for the final race time.

……

I ran several sets in a row on the indoor track, and gradually warmed up my body while getting familiar with the starting movements and running rhythm.

Capel and Barton, the two American players looked very serious now. During the warm-up interval, they also consciously observed their opponents in the final later.

It can be said that before the start of this final, as the last two American players to appear in the sprint event, they were under a lot of pressure in the World Championships. The 400-meter results were dismal, the [-]-meter lost, and there were no Americans even in the top three.Many senior celebrities or domestic colleagues who lost in the national trials kept criticizing them.

Now in the 200-meter event, three American athletes have been eliminated in the semi-finals, and they were also squeezed out by the yellow Asians who have always been weak.Now that the final is over, there are still two of them. If they lose again in the final, then...

Therefore, they warmed up very seriously and worked hard to make the last bit of preparation, trying their best to avoid losing again.

……

"... Audience friends, tonight's main competition, the men's 200-meter trapeze competition will begin soon. Our country's player Yang Zuyao entered the final with the first group in the semi-final and the second overall score. In the men's 0.002-meter trap a few days ago In the 200-meter semi-final, Yang Zuyao missed the final by 200 seconds, and unfortunately failed to enter the final with a slight disadvantage. But now he is back in the [-]-meter race! He regained his strength and entered the [-]-meter race final strongly. This time we look forward to It means Yang Zuyao can perform better..."

As the commentator Yang Jian's voice sounded, the camera turned, and the eight finalists stood on the track one by one, began to take off their coats, and stretched their muscles and bones.

“第一道是来自英国的老将坎贝尔，这是他在本届世锦赛上参加的第二项决赛。之前的百米决赛中，这位已经年过30的老将最终拿到第四。现在的200米，他以总成绩第7晋级决赛。他的200米个人最好成绩20秒13，今年最好成绩20秒34……

The second track is Buckland from Mauritius. Including this time, this is the second time for him to break into the men's 200m final of the World Championships. He was fifth in the last World Championships and is currently the best in the world. One of the best 200-meter athletes.My personal best is 20 seconds, and this year's best is 06 seconds.
The third track comes from Namibia's veteran Fredericks, who is a 35-year-old veteran and famous player.The famous American sprinter Michael Johnson once competed for a while. We can hear the cheers and cheers when he was introduced on the live broadcast. His personal best time is 19 seconds, and this year's best time is 68. Second 20...

The fourth track is Capel from the United States. He ranked first in the 7-meter event in the national trials in July, third in the last World Championships, and third in the men's 200-meter event in the Sydney Olympics.My personal best time is 200 seconds, and this year's best time is 19 seconds, which was also achieved in yesterday's semi-final...

The fifth track, the fifth track, is our country's player Yang Zuyao, the national record holder. Since this year, his state has remained very stable.The performance has been greatly improved.In the men's 200m preliminaries and semi-finals of the World Championships, he broke the national record twice and also raised his personal best time to 20 seconds...

On the sixth track, Barton from the United States was in the same group as my country's Yang Zuyao in the semi-finals..."

Following Yang Jian's introduction to a famous contestant, information such as the names and nationalities of the eight contestants were displayed on the big screen and TV at the scene.

First Way, Campbell, United Kingdom;

Second Road, Buckland, Mauritius;

Third Road, Fredericks, Namibia;
Fourth Road, Capel, United States;

Fifth Road, Yang Zuyao, Huaxia;
Sixth Avenue, Patton, United States;
The Seventh Way, Suxuan Shenwu, Japan;
Eighth Road, Aimedolu, Nigeria;
At this time, whether on the field or in front of the TV, many people noticed a situation. Among the eight men's 200-meter finalists, two were not black.

Yang Zuyao, Huaxia. .

Continued Shingo, Japan.

Two yellow men from Asia.

"...This is a rare scene in the track and field field. In the men's 200m final of such a large-scale event as the World Championships, two Asian athletes of yellow race appeared."

This almost subverts everyone's impression. After all, international sprint events are basically monopolized by black players, especially West African blacks and their descendants.

Among the current eight players, there are actually two non-black players, and they are yellow races who have always been judged unsuitable for sprinting.After the 200-meter Huaxia people advanced to the final and won the championship, there was another amazing scene in the [-]-meter race.

In the pattern of world track and field, it is basically the blacks in West Africa who dominate the sprint, and the blacks in East Africa who dominate the long-distance running.Whether they are naturalized sprinters from Qatar or other countries, they are basically from West African countries such as Nigeria.Now the yellow race has broken this pattern!

……

Yang Zuyao stood behind the starting block on the fifth track, slowly stretching his muscles and bones, and adjusted his body to the best condition.

Although he didn't pay attention to it deliberately, when he looked back occasionally, he could still feel the eyes of the two American players resting on him.

Just as he thought, because the preparations had not yet started, the two American players on track 4 and track 6 got closer and exchanged some things.His eyes are cast on Yang Zuyao from time to time,

The invisible gunpowder smoke filled the air, and Yang Zuyao was very relaxed and excited.He seemed to be able to feel the firm confidence in victory in his heart.When he thinks about it, he feels that he is a little bit, it's incredible!
Desire to win?After thinking for a few seconds, Yang Zuyao cleared his mind.The mind was clear and calm, and all kinds of irrelevant thoughts were discharged one by one.

Yang Zuyao did a tummy tuck on the spot, exhaled lightly, and followed the referee's command to take their positions, and slowly walked onto the starting block.

At this moment, he felt extremely hot inside, and the blood flow in his whole body seemed to be accelerating!

Run out of yourself, break through yourself, surpass yourself, and work hard to defeat your opponent.That's what he's here for.

The expressions of the two American players are very calm. Every athlete in competitive sports is extremely competitive, not to mention when this kind of competition involves the honor of the country and the athletes themselves.

Doing our best to win the championship and win a good ranking is the goal of every athlete.

Outside the arena, the boiling noise and cheers gradually quieted down.

Tens of thousands of spectators were staring at the men's 200-meter starting line. There were no local players, not even European players. The audience seemed to be used to it.Except for the group of people holding the red flag high, the audience at the scene had almost no personal position, and each of them stretched their necks in anticipation of this duel.

In the auditorium on the sidelines, the members of the Huaxia delegation were also looking forward to it.Liu Xiang and Shi Dong, who had just finished the semi-finals, stood beside coach Sun Ping and watched the 200-meter trapeze battle together. They were both nervous and cautiously staring at the starting line.

In a sports school in a city in eastern Guangdong, a young boy who had just received professional training for less than a year sat in the cafeteria of the sports school with a group of new friends, staring at the TV screen.A few months ago, coach Yuan of the national team had approached him, and after discussing it with the coaches of the team.Give him some plans for basic training.He remembered that the coach (sports school) said that his basic training is the same as the big brother on TV now.

If one day, I practice well, can I also appear on TV, in the world competition... A little boy, looking forward to the future, watching the TV screen, the heart is even more fiery.

The stadium was close to the finish line, on the edge of the stands behind the barrier, Lin Mu stood there, he still looked calm, with his hands folded in front of his chest, and his fingers tapped his arms rhythmically.He stared at Yang Zuyao's figure on the track without blinking.

His impression in the eyes of the leaders and colleagues of the national team has always been like this, calm and calm, sitting on the Diaoyutai.But in fact, in every game, his heart was never at peace.It's just that he wants to put more of his attention on the running process of the athletes, find out more problems, and summarize the problems.He forced himself to observe calmly.

At the scene, in front of the TV, all the Chinese watching the game at this time stopped what they were doing after the athletes stepped onto the starting block and prepared to start the game.

In the stadium, there was a brief silence...
