Chapter 13 The Second A Mark

Zhang Guan, who broke the national record, got a week's vacation. After returning home and having a short reunion with his parents, he returned to the track team to start new training.

On the track, Zhang Guan stepped on the starting block with both feet.

Mr. Chen raised his starting gun and shouted loudly: "Everyone, get ready..."

The sound of gunshots sounded, and Zhang Guan rushed forward, but immediately let go of his strength, and stopped after a few steps.

Zhang Guan is practicing starting.

Mr. Chen frowned, and muttered to himself: "Why do I feel that your start is so fast! No, rest for 5 minutes, let's try again."

Zhang Guan nodded in agreement, but secretly laughed in his heart. The new passive skill "Quick Response" can indeed make his starting reaction time faster. Now his starting reaction time can be maintained between 0.15 seconds and 0.17 seconds. It's about the same as any other professional athlete.

Moreover, the "Quick Response" skill not only improves the starting reaction time, but also speeds up the reaction speed of other actions.

After starting more than a dozen times in a row throughout the morning, Mr. Chen could clearly feel that Zhang Guan's reaction time at the start was not inferior to that of a professional player. This kind of performance made him feel very strange.

"Why did you go home and rest for a week, and the reaction time at the start seems to be faster." Mr. Chen scratched his head in confusion, and then said, "Let's go find the equipment and test it."

The athlete timing equipment used in international competitions is a very complicated set of equipment. The starting gun will be connected to the sensor of the starting time. At the same time, there is also a sensing device in the starting block used by the athletes. It is calculated at the first time to judge whether the athlete is rushing, and the sensor at the end is used to calculate the athlete's finishing time. At the same time, it is also equipped with a high-speed imaging system and a slow playback system, which is used when it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Provide evidence.According to international standards, the time accuracy of this set of equipment is required to reach one thousandth of a second, which can be regarded as a precision instrument, so the price is also high. Even the provincial team only has one set of this equipment.

It took the technicians an hour to debug the equipment, and then Zhang Guan stood on the starting block, while Chen Lao sat by the screen, staring at the data on it.

When the starting gun sounded, Zhang Guan started running quickly, and Zhang Guan's starting reaction time was immediately displayed on the electronic screen.

Old Chen stared at the screen with wide-eyed eyes. The numbers on the screen made him feel both pleasantly surprised and unbelievable.

"0.159 seconds?"

Even in international-level competitions, a starting reaction time of less than 0.159 seconds is considered a qualified figure, and those starting reaction times of about 0.13 seconds are simply not available.

"Is there any problem with this equipment?" Mr. Chen asked the technician next to him.

The technician immediately replied: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, this set of equipment is very expensive. We maintain it every day, so there must be no problem."

Mr. Chen immediately turned his head and asked Zhang Guan: "Xiao Zhang, did you run away with the gun?"

Zhang Guan immediately shook his head.

"Impossible, how could it be so much faster in one week! This is unscientific." Chen Lao thought for a while, and then immediately said: "Take a break for 10 minutes, let's try again, this time I will issue the order myself."

……

The reason why Mr. Chen was going to issue the order himself was to verify whether Zhang Guan used the method of pressing the gun to start.

The start of a sprinter is very critical. A normal start is called a gun run, which means that the athlete starts after hearing the firing of the referee's gun; and the gun run is also a conventional sprint tactic in the start. Athletes follow the referee's habits Starting rhythm, try to start when the starting gun is sounded. If this starting method is successful, it can at least win a time of more than 0.02 seconds.

Running under the gun is often used by athletes with rich experience in competitions, but many truly capable athletes seldom use the tactic of running under the gun in order to seek stability in the game; or only when they encounter evenly matched opponents , will use the pressure gun to run; or know that I am not in good condition today, and I will lose or lose when I start normally, so I simply use the pressure gun to gamble.

As a coach, newcomers are discouraged or even not allowed to use the gun to run. What new athletes need most is to develop a good foundation and improve their level through solid training, instead of pinning their hopes on improving their performance. A blocking tactic.Therefore, Mr. Chen didn't want Zhang Guan to be exposed to the technique of pressing the gun and running too early.

"Everyone is in place, ready..."

Mr. Chen raised the starting gun, but he didn't issue the command for a long time. He was going to deliberately disrupt the rhythm of issuing commands. If Zhang Guan used the tactic of pressing the gun and running, he would definitely make a move before the starting gun was fired.It should be known that this kind of electronic starting block is very sensitive, and the athlete's foot can be sensed at least a little away from the starting block.

But Zhang Guanjun didn't move, but waited for Chen Lao to issue an order with peace of mind.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the starting gun sounded, and Zhang Guan also moved accordingly.

"It doesn't feel like running with a gun. His body obviously moved after the sound of the gun." Mr. Chen immediately turned back and asked the technician in front of the screen: "What is the reaction time for starting?"

"0.161 seconds." The technician replied.

Although the starting reaction time this time was 0.002 seconds slower than before, this slight difference of one-thousandth of a second is completely negligible, and the two starting reaction times can be regarded as the same level of results.

"How is this possible!" Chen Lao had never encountered such a situation in his decades of career as an athlete-level coach.

The reason why the starting reaction time of sprinters is relatively short is mainly because they have undergone a lot of long-term training. Without training, it is impossible for normal people to reach the starting reaction time of athletes within 0.2 seconds.The reaction speed of human beings is affected by the brain and nerves. It is a physiological indicator and follows the laws of nature. The situation of greatly increasing the reaction time of starting in a short period of time is obviously against the normal laws of nature. Puzzling place.

"What have you been doing at home this week?" Elder Chen asked.

"Eat, sleep, play Doudou." Zhang Guan answered in a low voice: "'Doudou' is my dog."

Old Chen obviously didn't believe it: "Then how did your reaction time at the start improve so much!"

"Mr. Chen, didn't you say that I am a genius in sprinting? Naturally, a genius will create some miracles!" Zhang Guanshen said mysteriously.

……

The sweltering heat of August can hardly resist the passion of the athletes for training. Sweat and tears are intertwined and sprinkled on this training field. It is indeed a beautiful dream for the athletes.

At the end of August, the results of the 30th World Athletics Championships had been sent back to China. The national team ranked No. 4 with two bronze medals, and seven of them entered the top eight in five events.Among them, the high-level race walking events are ranked outside the top ten for both male and female athletes. The women's hammer throw is 7th, the women's discus is 9th, the women's pole vault is 5000th, the women's 9 meters is 11th, and the women's javelin is 13th. The women's triple jump ranked [-]th. As for the men's track and field events, few qualified for the competition, let alone ranked.

However, there are still some bright spots in this competition. A national record was broken in the men’s decathlon, Xing Huina set a world youth record in the women’s 110-meter event, and another female athlete, Sun Yingjie, won the bronze medal in the women’s [-]-meter event. What's more worth mentioning is that Liu Feiren won the bronze medal in the men's [-]-meter hurdles event, making history for the national team.

The two bronzes are already the best results of the national team in the World Athletics Championships in recent years. Compared with the previous one, it has improved greatly, not to mention the breakthrough in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Therefore, the national track and field team returned to Beijing , was warmly welcomed.And next, after a short break, the national track and field team will usher in the 15th Asian Athletics Championships.

……

Early September.

The training ground of the provincial track and field team is much less crowded, and the rest are mainly young athletes, and even many coaches are not there.

The Huangpu Station of the National Athletics Championships is in full swing. For the vast majority of domestic track and field athletes, they have no chance to stand on the world stage. The National Athletics Championships have become a good opportunity for them to show themselves. platform.

Because this event is a touring event, the qualifications have already been determined at the beginning of the year, so Zhang Guan, a "monk who has become a monk halfway through his life", is not eligible to participate in this event. He will not have the opportunity to sign up for the competition until next year.So Zhang Guan stayed in the provincial capital and continued to train with Mr. Chen.

This was the time when Qiuhu was showing off his power. Zhang Guan's training clothes were already wet with sweat, so he simply took off his shirt and started training.

Chen Lao looked at the bronzed muscles on Zhang Guan's body, and felt that the volume and lines of these muscles did not look like those of a 17-year-old young man at all, so he couldn't help but said: "Xiao Zhang, I think you are much stronger than before. "

At this moment, Chen Lao's cell phone rang, and it was a call from Coach Zhou.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, it's me. Shouldn't you be at the game site now, why do you have time to call me? How is our team's performance?" Old Chen asked.

On the other side of the microphone, Coach Zhou spoke in a hurry, while Chen Lao's expression suddenly became joyful.

After a while, Mr. Chen put down the phone, took a deep breath to calm down, and then said to Zhang Guan: "There is good news, you will definitely be able to go to the Athens Olympics next year."

"Why?" Zhang Guan asked.He knew that this kind of matter involving local interests might not be so easy to compromise.

Mr. Chen replied: "Coach Zhou told me that Chen Jian ran 10 seconds in the race just now, creating a personal best and reaching the Olympic A standard!"

According to the Olympic rules, if both Chen Jian and Zhang Guan can reach the Olympic A standard, they can participate in the competition.Obviously, the national team will not give up the opportunity for two people to participate in the competition. Even if it is to play soy sauce, it is good to send one more person to show their faces.

Zhang Guan took a deep breath, the course of history still followed the original direction, and his butterfly wings didn't have any effect.Chen Jian still ran 10.17 seconds in the National Athletics Championships. In the original historical process, Chen Jian failed in the first round of the Athens Olympics. After that, no Chinese athlete ran 10.20 seconds in the next seven years.

"Olympic Games! I didn't dare to think about it before, but I can participate in the competition!" New hopes rose in Zhang Guan's heart.
