After quitting sports, I became a chef

Because the track and field events of the Tokyo Olympics have completely exceeded the strict standards expected in the past, not only in terms of public opinion, but also the official expectations for performance have been completely subverted.

After the meeting of several directors of the field management center, within the national team, the coaches of each project team also gathered and began to readjust the training arrangements of the players according to the current performance goals.

Here in the sprint project team, Pei Jinan brought several members of his coaching staff for the 200-meter project, and the [-]-meter head coach, together with Su Bai, back to the office of their sprint project team, and then they looked at each other. Most of the coaches had wry smiles on their faces.

"What do you call this?"

Shao Xingtong, the head coach of the 200-meter event, really couldn't bring much smile on his face.

It can be said that once the track and field standard of the Tokyo Olympics came out this time, the track and field team was hit the hardest by their sprint event.

It should be said that from an overall point of view, China's track and field team can actually be regarded as the top eight in the world. However, among the top eight, the full events are exhausted, and the hungry events are starved to death.

Judging from the results of this Olympic standard, their sprint events were not contained at 01:30. The original 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter athletes, from the perspective of obtaining qualifications, are really safe. Only Fang Yu and Wu Yi are left. Now that the standard has been raised, the entire sprint team, from 100 meters to 400 meters, is left with Fang Yu and Wu Yi alone.

What about other projects?

Not to mention field events such as women's discus, shot put, and javelin. If you look for them in track events, the 20-kilometer race walk and 50-kilometer race walk, even if the performance standards are raised to the current level, they can meet the standards. Players are also counted in units of at least ten.

For those events, there is no need to worry about qualifying for the Olympics. The only thing they need to worry about is how to select the final Olympic athletes from so many athletes who can meet the standards.

And there are some other events, which are worse than the sprint here. They can't meet the original standard. If they are replaced with the current standard, they have no athletes in the entire project team who have reached the Olympic Games for three or four consecutive years. Achievement.

In this case, it is almost nonsense to ask them to compete for the Olympic qualifications.

Having said that, it is the sprint project team that suffers the most. After all, they were almost able to obtain the qualification, but it turned out to be much more difficult to obtain than they expected.

Pei Jin'an looked at the meeting data in his hand, and heaved a long sigh - yes, what is this all about?For example, in the 400-meter sprint event that Su Bai led, Zhang Ziyi and the others are in good condition now. As Su Bai told him before, the qualifications for the World Championships are basically stable.

What he was thinking at the time was that Zhang Ziyi and the others had basically secured their qualifications for the World Championships, so maybe they would also be able to qualify for the 400-meter event in the Tokyo Olympics for a historic time!

Who would have thought that such a moth would appear?

After thinking about it, Pei Jin'an first comforted Su Bai and said, "Xiaobai, this matter is completely beyond our expectations. Don't take it too seriously. If you really can't get it, the team won't blame you."

After a pause, Pei Jin'an added: "Looking back, the team will consider discussing it. Let's try to qualify for the Olympic candidate for the world ranking. This is also possible."

苏白听到裴晋安的话，没有立刻回答，他看了眼手里的数据，又看了一眼列表上的一个时间点——2019年5月1日至2020年6月31日。

This time node is the certification cycle for Olympic track and field qualifications. That is to say, what players need is to participate in official competitions within this certification cycle and reach the passing line of track and field results given by the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. This can be regarded as Qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.

"Xiaobai...Xiaobai?"

Seeing that Su Bai didn't reply, Pei Jinan called him twice again, wondering if he had been hit, and felt a little depressed.

"Well, Director Pei..."

Su Bai glanced at Pei Jin'an, then his brows were still frowned, obviously something was on his mind.

The coaches around are also quite familiar with Su Bai. During this period of time, they have seen Su Bai's decisiveness and decisiveness. When did they see such a hesitant look on Su Bai's face?

Pei Jin'an looked at Su Bai seriously: "What's wrong? What's your problem?"

It is rare for Su Bai not to answer directly. Since he grew up in the coaching project under the guidance of the system, his character has become very decisive. Many things, through the guidance of the system and combined with his own Judgment, as long as he thinks more, he can always get a better plan.

But this time after the Tokyo Olympics gave the certification standard for this achievement, he fell into a difficult situation for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he still looked up at Pei Jin'an, and said with a wry smile: "Director Pei, if... I mean, if I have a way to make Zhang Ziyi meet the performance certification standards within the certification cycle, but this may have a negative impact on his future sports career." Influence……"

When Su Bai said the first half of the sentence, the coaches beside him were all stunned.

Zhang Ziyi's current personal PB is 45 seconds and 24 seconds. There is a difference of 44 seconds. Su Bai is simply saying that he has a way to make a player whose original time limit is 90 seconds. It's the same as running into the 0.34-second mark within the year.

But after Su Bai said the second half of the sentence, everyone understood why Su Bai, who had always been decisive, had such a hesitant look on his face now.

After Pei Jinan was stunned for a while, the look on his face became serious.

After a while, he frowned and asked, "Xiaobai, are you serious?"

Facing Pei Jinan's question, Su Bai also nodded solemnly: "Yes."

In the office, the atmosphere became tense for a moment. Of course, the coaches present understood the weight of Su Bai's words, but they also understood that since Su Bai was so hesitant, this plan might not be a good thing for the players themselves.

As coaches, it can be said that they have devoted their wholehearted attention to the players, and their care is unwavering in terms of the players' performance, competition status, and personal health.

Especially for a player like Zhang Ziyi - how difficult is it for a good seedling of one or two sprint events in China?

Don't look at their sprint team, the coaches of other brothers' events are afraid that the players will not dare to eat local meat when they go to other places for training, and they will also pack and airlift the meat from city b to the training place, for fear that the players in the team will not be able to eat it. When it comes to meat, the food is not good.

Su Bai is still young. Old coaches like Zheng Xingguo and many players have been taught for many years, and they are all taken care of as their own children.

It is said that master, master, most coaches, for the players, it is really like a master like a father.

Now, but now, the situation Su Bai is facing is that there are ways to increase the improvement of the players, but at the same time of improvement, there is a price to be paid.

They didn't know what the price was, but seeing Su Bai's serious look, it was nothing more than affecting the player's own health, or affecting the player's future sports career.

At this moment, no one dared to speak.

Is it to ensure Zhang Ziyi's future sports career, or to strive to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics?

They open and close their mouths, and what they decide may be the future life of an athlete, or let him qualify for the Olympics, but lose the qualifications for higher achievements in the future.

On this day, in the small meeting in the office of the national team's sprint project team, no one was able to give Su Bai a clear suggestion in the end.

In the end, it was Pei Jin'an who made the final decision: "When Ziyi comes back after the two-day tour, let's have a chat with him face to face and see his own thoughts and decisions."

The only one who is truly qualified to make a decision on this matter is Zhang Ziyi himself.

On the Internet, the public opinion discussion caused by the track and field competition standards for the Tokyo Olympics has lasted intermittently for half a month.

During this short period of half a month, the members of the track and field team participating in the world tour have brought back many good results one after another.

On the domestic front, in late February, the national indoor track and field divisional competition was officially launched. Compared with previous years, the attendance rate of the indoor divisional competition has reached 2-[-]%, which completely surpassed that of the athletes and the organizers. expectations.

In the past, during these domestic indoor divisional competitions, the auditorium was basically empty during the competition. The players competed in it, as if they were in an internal competition. Now, under the enthusiastic cheers of the audience And with the support, the players have become more motivated to compete!

Among them, the most popular ones are of course the athletes from the winter training camp of the 400-meter event. Zhou Xu, Zhang Chang, Hu Li and other athletes who were arranged to participate in the domestic competition did not disappoint the audience's respect for them. They paid attention and did not disappoint their efforts during winter training.

As long as they participated in the divisional competitions, the championships were easily won by them.

Although they failed to beat Zhang Ziyi's results in the indoor competition, their time was basically around 46 seconds. This result, compared with their previous outdoor competition results, has also made great progress !

Track and field national team training base, 400m event training indoor hall

For more than half a month, the members of the national team have been arranged to participate in various indoor competitions at home and abroad. Today, the special training hall for the 400-meter event only has hurdles on one of the tracks, and On the starting line not far away, there was a tall figure squatting on the starting block with both hands on the ground, waiting for the start sound.

Among the huge venues, only the hurdle training area is still in use.

Su Bai stood calmly beside the runway, looked at Cui Luoheng who was squatting on the ground, then turned his head to look at the assistant coach not far away, and nodded to the assistant coach.

Under Su Bai's signal, the assistant coach issued an order: "Get ready...bang!"

When the electronic starting gun fired, Cui Luoheng, who was squatting on the starting block, shot out almost at the same time!The power of his left foot surged, and with a kick, his body immediately gained a strong forward force. Between the alternate kicks of his legs, his upper body was already pulled up quickly, and his arms swung sharply. Cooperating with the explosive force of the feet kicking the ground, the body quickly gained the potential energy to start!

Because Cui Luoheng's current steps in front of the hurdles have changed from the previous eight steps to seven steps. Compared with the past, his body is not as high as before. However, this slightly lowered posture will also affect his subsequent attacks on the hurdles. Helpful!

From the start to the hurdle attack, 7 traces were drawn with white toner on the track. These traces of white lines are exactly the stride size that Cui Luoheng needs to re-adapt to after the [-]th to [-]th.

The current Cui Luoheng, when he first started the eight-to-seven training during the winter training period, his state has changed a lot.

In the previous training, due to the burden and difficulty of changing from eight to seven, his state was once in a downturn. Although he still insisted on training every day and did not say anything against the training, judging from his training state and mental state, he was in a state of depression. You could see his annoyance at the time.

In this kind of training from eight to seven, no athlete can boldly say that he can complete it easily without changing his face and in outstanding condition.

During that time, Su Bai didn't deliberately say something to Cui Luoheng to relax his mind, he just spent more time by Cui Luoheng's side, even after the training, he simply had supper with Cui Luoheng, and Or go back to the dormitory with him and simply chat about some spare time on the way.

Fortunately, although Cui Luoheng always said that his mental quality was not good, he still successfully survived the low tide period of his personal state, and was able to concentrate more on training.

The improvement of Cui Luoheng's condition also made Su Bai breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, from the perspective of Cui Luoheng's personal talent, his rhythm control ability and rhythm sensitivity are very high, but these two talents are of no benefit to Cui Luoheng's technical adjustment from eight to seven.

A strong ability to control means that he is in a state of high-intensity control over his own rhythm. This state can even overwhelm his own rhythm sensitivity at the beginning, allowing him to stay in the rhythm limited by Zhou Wen for a long time.

And later, after he managed to use his own rhythm control ability, now he has to break through a rhythm range that is already very comfortable for him, and readjust.

This is a great challenge and burden for Cui Luoheng.

As for the other... his rhythm sensitivity.

When Cui Luoheng's front-of-the-hurdle pace changed from eight steps to seven steps, he and most of the players around him may be in a different front-hurdle rhythm. The possibility of rhythmic influence has to be increased again.

Although Su Bai has been helping Cui Luoheng focus on his own rhythm sensitivity, but the effect of this focused and restrained technique on the field after the [-]th to [-]th change still needs to be verified on the field.

Su Bai looked at Cui Luoheng's test run, saw that he had been able to run smoothly, and then saw the data of 13 seconds on the electronic timer at the finish line, and nodded.

13 seconds 46, this is already a better training data since Cui Luoheng changed from eight to seven. Compared with the data of 13 seconds and 57 in the last full test run, this time the test run is only 3 days apart. There has been a substantial improvement, which shows that Cui Luoheng has adapted well to the adjusted state. As long as he maintains this state, his performance can quickly return to the original level, and he can even enter a new improvement range.

Su Bai was satisfied with Cui Luoheng's result, but Cui Luoheng didn't seem to be in a good mood after seeing his result.

He walked up to Su Bai, looked at Su Bai, and seemed to be in a somewhat listless state.

"What's wrong?" Su Bai rubbed Cui Luoheng's head habitually: "This result is good, much better than the state 3 days ago, keep it up, and your grades will improve rapidly in the future."

Cui Luoheng frowned, but still said: "But it's only 13 seconds 46..."

Su Bai smiled, because he had been thinking about Zhang Ziyi's affairs during this time, so he was often looking at the Olympic qualification data, maybe Cui Luoheng also noticed it, and then misunderstood that he was worried about his qualification.

"Don't worry." Su Bai patted Cui Luoheng on the shoulder: "According to your current state, there shouldn't be any problem in reaching the Olympic standards. After your eight-to-seven technical adjustment is really over, I still have your follow-up adjustment plan here. "

"After the adjustment from eight to seven is over, your performance will also enter a rapid improvement cycle. Taking advantage of this cycle, let's work hard and strive for good results in next year's Olympics."

Cui Luoheng took a serious look at Su Bai, as if he could see that what Su Bai said was sincere and not forced, so he nodded.

But after a while, Cui Luoheng turned his head and found that Su Bai was looking at the data in his hand, and his expression didn't seem to be very good, so he turned away with a frown—Su Bai didn't seem to be in a very good mood during this time, Cui Luoheng Originally, I thought that Su Bai was worried about the effectiveness of his eight-to-seven training, and whether he could successfully qualify for the Olympic Games.

But... now it looks like Su Bai is not worried about him.

After the Olympic results came out, after chatting with Pei Jin'an and other coaching team members in the conference room that day, although he is now waiting for Zhang Ziyi to return to China, he has not given up on the daily plan calculation in the training space.

Every night, in the system's training space, he used the simulated athletes in the system and various data provided by the system to constantly test the limits of Zhang Ziyi's body.

It should be said that his simulation calculation is indeed effective. Compared with before, the limit of Zhang Ziyi's state he calculated is a bit stronger than before, but this is too limited. It is far from enough for Zhang Ziyi to run into the qualifying line for the Olympic Games.

And this is already because Su Bai took over Zhang Ziyi's training last year, laying a certain foundation for him, so that he can have the current limit state.

If you continue to raise the bet, although Zhang Ziyi's personal performance can be improved quickly in a short period of time, it will not be of any benefit to his subsequent career.

It is very likely that Zhang Ziyi will be forced to end his career early, and the peak of his career will not reach the height that Su Bai originally expected for him.

Just like Pei Jinan and the others were equally worried, Su Bai couldn't make his own decision for Zhang Ziyi's life, he could only make this decision by himself after Zhang Ziyi and the others returned to the team.

But today is the day when Zhang Ziyi and others are going to return to the team after they went out to participate in the tournament. Thinking of the topics they will discuss with Zhang Ziyi, Su Bai can't help but feel at a loss as to what to do.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Cui Luoheng's training had already ended, and Su Bai was sitting alone in his office sorting out the materials in his hands, when Qiu Wen's voice came from outside his office.

"Xiaobai!!! We are back!!!"

Qiu Wen, Li Junhao, and Zhang Ziyi finally met at the overseas training base of the national team and participated in the last overseas tour before returning to China together.

Including Chen Yadan and others from the women's team, they also just arrived together at this time.

After arriving at the training base of the national team, several team members found Su Bai first as soon as they put down their luggage, and came to say hello to him.

This time, although they are competing overseas, they have already heard about the standard line for the Tokyo Olympics this time. When they were overseas, they discussed this exaggerated standard more than once. Now they found Su Bai for the first time. I also want to see what Su Bai is saying here.

After Su Bai said hello to several people, he calmed them down simply: "The Tokyo Olympics standard line is now an established fact, I will make some corresponding adjustments to your training here, everyone stay positive status, strive for it.”

After speaking, Su Bai smiled again: "However, before considering the qualifying line for the Tokyo Olympics, Qiu Wen, you and Junhao should first consider the qualifying results for the World Championships."

?

Qiu Wen was in a daze, never thinking about it, he was still concerned about the achievement of the Olympic Games, but he was shot here in the World Championships, and he immediately raised his head and said: "Don't underestimate people, the mere World Championships are up to the standard! The results are at your fingertips!"

Su Bai then patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for your first outdoor competition results."

...?

First round?

Qiu Wenhu trembled, feeling that he had dug a deep hole for himself again.

After Su Bai sent Qiu Wen, Li Junhao and others away first, he left Zhang Ziyi alone. This matter is related to Zhang Ziyi's subsequent development, so it's better to say it early.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi's earnest listening expression, Su Bai sighed in his heart, and explained to him about the qualifying results of the Tokyo Olympics and the forecast of Zhang Ziyi's performance progress.

"...This matter, how to choose is up to you."

Who knows, after Zhang Ziyi heard Su Bai's question, he hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "Coach, please arrange a new training for me."

In the sight of Su Bai who was stunned and asked him to think carefully, Zhang Ziyi simply smiled: "Coach, I am already 25 this year, and I want to participate in the Olympics... no matter what."
