After quitting sports, I became a chef

From the beginning of February, the IAAF Indoor World Tour has already started, and from the end of February, the domestic indoor track and field competition will also kick off.

The opening of the indoor competition is to give the players who have been stagnant for several months a chance to adapt to the field again, allowing the players to regain the state and rhythm of the game in the indoor competition, and it is also a test of the strength of the players after the winter training .

After the winter training of the national team, only Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Li Junhao, Lin Chuan, Guo Dun, Zhang Wei and others were left in the men's team for training. Among them, Lin Chuan and Zhang Wei were kept for 5 In the World Athletics Relay Competition in October, they were allowed to stay in the team for training as candidate members of the 4*400m relay team.

As for the women's team, there were only 6 members in the winter training, so the 6 women players headed by Chen Yadan are still training in the team without any change.

However, for Su Bai, for the few players who are still in the team, the competition arrangements are also different.

In the first match after the winter training, Lin Chuan, Guo Dun and Zhang Wei will still represent their respective provincial teams to participate in the domestic indoor track and field competition, while Zhang Ziyi will be sent to participate in the Indoor Track and Field Tournament in Torun, Poland on February 2th. Wen and Li Junhao will participate in the indoor track and field tour in Madrid, Spain on February 16.

Apart from Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and Li Junhao are participating in this level of indoor tournament for the first time, which also represents Su Bai's training direction for several members of the 400-meter sprint men's team in the current team.

In terms of individual performance, Qiu Wen, Li Junhao, and Zhang Ziyi all have greater potential for breakthroughs. Guo Dun, Lin Chuan, and Zhang Wei are already first-class in the country in terms of individual performance, but compared with higher-level opponents. Compared with Guo Dun, the growth potential of the three is still lacking, but the advantages of these three are calm personality and rich experience in competitions. Therefore, in the relay event, the three are still good players worthy of trust and trust.

As for the women's team, although Chen Yadan is 27 years old after the Chinese New Year, theoretically she has completely passed the golden age of female athletes, but since she broke through herself in the six-nation track and field competition in Asia, her competitive state has been retrograde all the way. Whether it's the superior state shown during training or the several intra-team matches, they have completely taken advantage.

At present, she has completely stabilized her time of less than 52 seconds. In the team competition, she has run the time of less than 52 seconds many times. Looking at the women's team, she is still the well-deserved No.1.

In addition to Chen Yadan, Lin Huan and Lin Yao, the two small players, have also made amazing progress. Judging from their current state, they have every hope of crossing the mark of the World Championships.

The field management center is 400% satisfied with the performance of the track and field team's [-]-meter project team during this period. The previous variety show is one thing. There are no extra thoughts on the content.

These players have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the improvement of their performance, and their awe of competitive sports has never weakened. This is what really relieved the Field Management Center.

After the show became popular during this period, the field management center has been worried about the mentality of the contestants. To be honest, if the players lose their minds because of the popularity of the variety show, then this variety show will not be worth the loss for the field management center. Fortunately, it seems that the players have stabilized themselves.

After learning about Su Bai's arrangements for the players, the field management center did not have any additional opinions.

Whether it is teaching the athletes, or controlling the cohesion and fighting spirit of the athletes, Su Bai's achievements so far are enough to satisfy the field management center.

Regarding the competition arrangements for each player submitted by Su Bai, the field management center naturally gave the green light all the way, and the arrangements were properly made.

On February 2th, Zhang Ziyi, Wang Shen and other members of the national track and field team had already arrived in Torun, Poland. They will participate in the indoor tour in Torun, Poland the next day.

What is different from the past is that in the past track and field indoor tour, only the sports channel bought the broadcasting rights, and it would only be broadcast on the sports channel's website. This time, the sports channel directly purchased the TV broadcasting rights and will be broadcast on All stations of the indoor tour will be televised.

In addition to sports channels, there are several more powerful video platforms in China that have also participated in the negotiation of the broadcast rights of the indoor tour, and also purchased the network live broadcast rights from the IAAF.

When the advertisements of "live broadcast of the IAAF Indoor Tournament" were played on various video websites, only the track and field fans felt a new life-now it is really different!

In just one or two months, domestic public opinion has almost caught up with popular sports such as football, basketball, and table tennis in the discussion of 'track and field', a once unpopular sport.

Not only is the World Indoor Tournament of the IAAF broadcasted, but even the National Indoor Athletics Regional Competition to be held in late February has attracted many brands interested in sponsoring it. In previous years, no one cared about the indoor competition Tickets have become extremely optimistic this year.

A month ago, many people originally thought that the variety show in that training camp was only good for the 400-meter sprint event, but now it seems that as long as these players in the 400-meter event participate well and continue to maintain enthusiasm and attention, then in fact The entire athletics program will benefit from this.

After all, track and field competitions are not like football and basketball games where only a single event is held. As long as the audience arrives at the scene, there is always a chance to see events such as javelin, shot put, and long jump.

When the number of viewers who can see these projects increases, I believe that more and more people will gradually become interested in these projects...!

February 2th, Torun, Poland, the scene of the indoor circuit

This indoor track and field arena in Torun, Poland, like all indoor track and field arenas, looks like an egg-shaped interior.

The venue of the competition is a temporary indoor circular track, and the indoor track is not only divided into fewer lanes than the outdoor track, there are only 6 tracks, and each track is also narrower than a single outdoor track.

If you want to run 400 meters on the indoor track, not only the rules are different from those outdoors, but you can also grab the track in individual events, because the indoor circular track is shorter than the outdoor track. When the runners enter the second lap, they can start to grab the track. road race.

And because the indoor track is narrow, it is inevitable that there will be some physical friction when the players surpass each other in the competition, which is also a unique style of indoor competitions.

Generally speaking, in track and field indoor competitions, the world records and tournament records of most events are lower than the records of outdoor competitions, and the same is true for 400-meter events. It was 400 seconds. Compared with the outdoor record of 44 seconds, the gap was more than 57 point.

At the scene of the tour, Zhang Ziyi was very relaxed about today's game state. For him, this indoor game is more about rediscovering the long-lost game state, and he has no special attachment to the final result. Pursue.

However, among the 400-meter runners in this round, there appeared a player Zhang Ziyi was familiar with—Iverson from the United States.

Zhang Ziyi was able to remember Iverson mainly because this Iverson was one of the opponents that Su Bai recruited from the United States to have a 'practice match' with several of their Chinese players before the start of the Asian Games training camp last year.

Although half a year has passed, after seeing Iverson, the past when several of their 400-meter sprinters were brutally abused by those American players in front of the sports school students is still vivid.

Looking back now, at that time, those American players were in a mediocre state due to traveling across the ocean and affected by jet lag. Among them, the best time was only 45 seconds, and the worst time was only 56 seconds.

After re-competing now, Zhang Ziyi is sure that the players of the Chinese team will never lose so badly again... But at that time, none of them could outrun any American players, so that the unforgettable The shame still remains in their hearts to this day.

Iverson of the American team didn't seem to remember Zhang Ziyi's appearance. When his eyes swept over Zhang Ziyi, he was completely indifferent, as if he had never seen this player from China.

Even Zhang Ziyi, a player with a calm mind, frowned when he noticed Iverson's carelessness.

There used to be a saying in China - if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Of course he understood that for Iverson, it was only because of the generous rewards that he traveled across the ocean to China, and had a crushing match with a group of opponents he didn't need to remember their looks at all, and then left. just fine.

In such a game, why does he need to remember the Chinese players who are not easy for him to distinguish their appearance?

It didn't make sense to him.

However, even though he knew this in his heart, Zhang Ziyi still felt unwilling.

He took a deep breath, took another serious look at Iverson, and then turned his eyes away—since the former Chinese player made Iverson no need to leave any memory, then... from today, let him Remember the opponent from China in your heart?

It is already past 11 o'clock at night in China at this time, but the TVs of many people are still on, and many families gather together for the first time, waiting for the arrival of a sports event that may be less than 3 minutes before and after.

On the forum of the Kingdom of Athletics, when the commentators Shao Minyi and Li Sen were introducing the first group of 6 players, a post was posted on the forum.

Subject: [I am a student of the sports school in city b. Last year, I happened to watch the practice match between the American players and the Chinese team. The Iverson on the court now seems to be one of the American players who came to China for the practice match at that time...]

As soon as this post came out, it exploded. After all, before the Asian Games training camp, the 400-meter sprint practice competition between the American athletes and the Chinese national team called by Su Bai was a long-standing legend.

Everyone knows that in that game, the players of the Chinese team suffered a crushing defeat.

At that time, many people in the forum thought that Su Bai was delusional, and dared to invite American players to abuse his national team members, thinking that his coaching style might not have good results.

Now this statement is of course self-defeating, but the legend of those American players' crushing victory over the Chinese national team still survives in the hearts of many track and field fans.

The forum of the Athletics Kingdom, during this period of time, because of the variety show "Track and Field Idol Training Camp", many newcomers have come. These newcomers are a little surprised to see this story for the first time. Back then, the national team had such a miserable situation. when.

When the old people in the track and field kingdom saw this statement, they also felt a burst of emotion in their hearts-it’s okay to be crushed by American athletes, it’s a worse time than you have ever seen.

However, these old fans of track and field also know that the hearts of new fans are relatively fragile, so they didn't say much.

These new fans, however, quickly forwarded this post in the forum to Weibo, and started a topic called #vengeance战战#, which shocked the old track and field fans in the forum.

How is this a revenge war? !

It's true that the competition back then was pretty miserable, but now... can we definitely win?

Although these old fans of track and field have seen great progress in the 400-meter sprint event in this year, but now that they are in a field full of Asian, European and American athletes, the old fans feel a little scared again.

That's a player from Team USA!

It's true that Zhang Shuai's current results are very good, but can he beat these American players?

Among the players present, in addition to Iverson from the United States, there are also players from Costa Rica, Slovenia, Kenya and other countries. The worst performance of these players in outdoor PB is 45 seconds. It can be said that the remaining five Among the contestants, the one with the worst grades was on par with Zhang Ziyi.

Facing such a group of strong opponents, these new fans started to talk about the "battle of revenge"...Of course, the old fans understand that if this game can be successful in "revenge", it will affect the popularity and popularity of track and field events that have continued from the previous variety show. will have a strengthening effect.

but……

If Zhang Ziyi fails to beat Iverson in this game, perhaps many new fans who came from watching variety shows before will be lost because of this.

It's just that maybe the gimmick of the "Battle of Revenge" is too loud, or because the popularity of the track and field team has really exploded during this period, even if the old track and field fans are worried, the topic of "Battle of Revenge" It was also quickly brushed on the hot search.

Because of this topic, the game, which had a lot of spectators, welcomed a lot of new spectators.

People were a little skeptical about the term "Battle of Revenge" at first, but after seeing Zhang Ziyi's eyes occasionally looking at Iverson, everyone affirmed the term "Revenge" in their hearts.

All of a sudden, there was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in what was supposed to be the first indoor match after winter training, which made the audience waiting in front of the TV excited.

"Ah! Zhang Shuai can definitely win, right?!"

Zheng Xiaoya sat cross-legged on the sofa and turned to look at her parents. It was the first time for the three of them to wait for a track and field event. Not to mention her, even her parents looked expectant.

Father Zheng thought about it, and said: "This is just the first game after the winter training. It's hard to say what the state of the players is, so let's not talk about revenge or not, as long as they can run in a good state."

Father Zheng's words made Zheng Xiaoya and Mother Zheng nod their heads, but in fact, just looking at the expressions of the three of them, it was obvious that they still hoped that Zhang Ziyi would win.

On the scene of the match in Torun, Poland, Zhang Ziyi didn't know that many people in China defined his match as a battle of 'revenge'.

Perhaps, even if he knew, he wouldn't have much opinion on such a definition.

Because in his heart, he does have some extra expectations for this game.

When the on-site staff signaled the players to stand in front of their respective starting blocks, Zhang Ziyi calmly stood in front of the starting block of the first track. In front of him on the right, on the third track, was Ai from the American team. Ferson.

On the 6 tracks, only two players from Iverson and Kenya are black players, and there are three white players and Zhang Ziyi, a single Asian player of yellow race.

In fact, not only Iverson, but the rest of the players did not pay special attention to Zhang Ziyi.

On the field, everyone stood on their starting blocks and simply stretched their bodies to make themselves face the first leg of the 2019 season in a more positive state.

About 1 minute later, the on-site commentary has also introduced all the 6 players present, including their nationality, pb, sb and other results.

The starter on the scene was also ready at this time. During the broadcast, the referee also issued instructions to the players on the scene - "Everyone take their positions."

Zhang Ziyi shook his head, put his hands on the ground, jumped lightly, and stepped on the starting block with both feet. The remaining five players also moved very neatly. In just a moment, the six players present had already done their own work. Prepare.

Soon, there was a signal on the broadcast that the game was about to start.

"preparation."

After this short preparatory sound, with a bang, the starter fired the starting pistol in his hand.

After a gunshot, the game officially began!

"Let's run!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen once again explained the track and field event after a few months. happy for them.

Didn't they be able to explain this indoor tour here today because of the soaring popularity of the track and field team?

"Okay, after a winter training cycle, Zhang Ziyi looks very good. His starting response is very quick, and he ran very beautifully when turning the first corner!"

As soon as Shao Min looked at Zhang Ziyi in the picture, he felt a little bit bright - of course, he watched all the variety shows during the winter training of the national team, but it was still training after all, and it was still the same as the official game. different.

Before, when he was watching the program, he felt that Zhang Ziyi's winter training status and effect seemed to be good, but there was no comparison at that time, and he really didn't see much. Sometimes he had some doubts, whether Zhang Ziyi was training He was a training player who was in better condition than a competitive player, but he didn't really feel until today's indoor competition that Zhang Ziyi was definitely a competitive player, so he didn't run!

On the field, compared with other players who were a little less energetic at the beginning of the season, perhaps because of the thought of "revenge" in his heart, Zhang Ziyi looked full of momentum on the narrow indoor track!

Although he is on the No. 1 runway, there is a big gap between the runners in front of him, but he has a fierce forward momentum from the start. After passing the first corner, he is approaching the second corner. During the race, Zhang Ziyi's pace was visibly faster than the other five players on the track.

On the No. 2 track in front of Zhang Ziyi's right is a player from Slovenia.

Since the track in the indoor arena is temporarily erected, the vibration amplitude of the ground is much more obvious than that of the outdoor players stepping on the ground, and he can clearly feel the step frequency of the player coming from behind is completely different from his own.

How can it be so fast? !

The Slovenian runner was a little startled by the vibration frequency of the floor of "Tap Tada" - he remembered that there was a 1-meter sprinter from China on track 400 behind, and he knew that there was a 100-meter sprinter in China. A runner named 'Fang Yu' ran the 400-second mark, but China's [-]-meter dash results are terrible...

How could a player from China give him such a terrible sense of threat?

But before he could think too much, when he passed the second corner of the first lap, there was already a yellow figure speeding past him...!

Oh, damn it!How can it be? !

Zhang Ziyi's speed and transcendence were much faster than he expected.

In front of domestic TV screens, many spectators who watched the game for the first time showed excitement when they saw Zhang Ziyi start to overtake the player in front of him.

—— Zhang Shuai did a great job! ! !

——Ahhh, Zhang Ziyi is so awesome, come on, keep surpassing!

——Chong Duck Zhang Shuai!In front is that nasty American player! ! !

The domestic audience was excited, and Zhang Ziyi was in an unprecedented state of excitement - he had never felt such an extraordinary state in the first game at the beginning of the season, perhaps it was indeed because of Iverson's presence that he recalled Letting go of the unwillingness of the past also ignited the flame in his heart.

In the commentary seat of the sports channel, although Shao Minyi and Li Sen were surprised, they were still happy with Zhang Ziyi's performance.

"Zhang Ziyi is in good condition! His speed is still improving! He is about to enter the second lap of the race, and the road grab is about to start..."

"Compared with the past, after last year's Asian Games, Zhang Ziyi began to have a kind of 'viciousness', which made him more active in winning and competing, which is definitely a major factor for his improvement !"

On the track, Zhang Ziyi naturally didn't know how Shao Minyi and the others interpreted his all-out competition. He only felt that a hot flame was indeed burning in his chest, and he could indeed feel that after the winter training period passed, his own strength growth of.

Faster, he wants to be faster!

Taking the dominant position in the lane...he wants to run faster, he wants...to win!

When the players entered the stage of grabbing the lane, only Iverson and a player from Kenya were standing in front of Zhang Ziyi. Iverson had no idea that in today's game, apart from the Kenyan player, In addition, there are still people who can threaten him.

And this threat is actually a player from China!

In his mind, he still vaguely remembers the game in the Chinese team, that kind of team that would be completely crushed by the poor state, how could anyone be able to pose a threat to him?

but……

This is the case.

When Zhang Ziyi would rather give up the advantage of the innermost way to fight for the position in front of him, he can only stick to his own way, and the competition with Zhang Ziyi is in the blink of an eye!

Iverson originally thought that he could defend the second place and even compete for the first place, but under Zhang Ziyi's entanglement, he had no spare energy to attack the Kenyan player in front...!

faster.

Hurry up! ! !

Zhang Ziyi didn't care what Iverson was thinking, he sprinted forward with all his strength, his body felt tired, his breathing felt painful, but his heart was full of blazing and boiling!

When the game entered the final time, when Zhang Ziyi stood shoulder to shoulder with Iverson in the final sprint, and successfully surpassed Iverson in the final 10 meters to cross the line, there was an uproar in the audience area , and on the Chinese TV broadcast screen, the two Chinese commentators even gave out excited cheers!

"Success!!!"

"Zhang Ziyi successfully overtook Iverson from the United States in the last ten meters!!!"
