After quitting sports, I became a chef

Before Zhang Ziyi came on the stage, he already knew what the situation in the group stage he was in was like.

There are a total of 7 players, except Atel from Kyrgyzstan, the rest are not good at it, including Roger from Qatar, Mike Knight from Bahrain, Annans from Indonesia... …

Counting Zhang Ziyi himself, they already have 4 opponents in the men's 400m final of last year's Asian Games.

According to Zhang Ziyi's estimation, at the end of this competition, it is very likely that besides the top three players who will advance, the rest of the players will basically sweep away at least half of the qualifying places for this preliminaries.

On the track of the preliminaries, the 7 contestants were already eyeing each other, and even Zhang Ziyi did not show weakness at all.

Among the 7 people, Roger, Annans and him were the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of last year's Asian Games respectively. The three met in advance in the preliminaries. I am afraid that the result of this random group assignment was not even thought of by the Qatar organizers.

In the commentary seat, the voices of Shao Min and the other two were also a little funny.

"This match will at least reach the level of the semi-finals."

This is a great truth.

In the schedule this time, the men's 400-meter preliminaries are scheduled for the evening of the first day. For those who are likely to advance, the real physical test will come from tomorrow's semi-finals and finals.

If they want to really break through and get good enough results between the semi-finals and finals tomorrow morning and evening, then they must have a clear enough plan for their physical distribution.

In tonight's 400-meter preliminaries, they will never really go all out.

However, the situation in the third group of the preliminaries is indeed special, so these players will definitely consume more energy than expected.

As long as possible, these players of course hope that they will advance directly to the top three instead of qualifying for the semi-finals as substitutes.

In front of the TV, the audience who were already nervous because they heard the preview of the "death team" felt a little suspended after hearing the explanations of Shao Minyi and Li Sen.

In the Chinese player area of ​​the auditorium, Jiang Wentao, Wang Ting and other coaches are also staring at the current situation on the field.

Jiang Wentao shook his head and said with a smile: "With Ziyi's current strength, I'm not worried about whether he can advance, but I'm worried about how he will advance."

Wang Ting listened to it from the side, then laughed and scolded: "Old Jiang, you have such a bad idea! No matter what the result is, it is a promotion! Push forward a year, and we all have to worry about whether the players can compete." Successfully advanced to the semi-finals, now you are floating."

Jiang Wentao and the coaches of other nearby sports also laughed when they heard Wang Ting's scolding.

While the audience was chatting, the players on the field were all ready to start the race. Each player stood behind his starting block, and the momentum on Annans, Roger, McKnight, Zhang Ziyi and others was mutual. not to let.

Tracks 2 to 8 were used for this race, and Kyrgyzstan’s Atel was placed on track 8. Even the audience in the auditorium could feel that Atel was a little anxious , he looked back at the few players behind him from time to time, obviously his state was not stable.

The remaining two players who have never met Zhang Ziyi and others in the Asian Games finals are two players from Kazakhstan and Iraq. They are also good in themselves, but under the halo of Zhang Ziyi and the other four players in the final area , it seems inconspicuous.

Soon, the referee's order to "take your place" came from the broadcast. As the players went around the starting block and squatted down to make a squatting position, there was a burst of depression from the audience. Cheers——The Qatari player Roger is the star of Qatar's 400-meter sprint event. Many spectators who came to watch the game came to support this country's star player.

Compared with the past, Zhang Ziyi no longer has the inferiority complex he used to have on the field. Now facing these opponents on the field, he can face their existence more rationally and objectively.

Only the opponent's results, technical characteristics, and recent data comparisons are still remembered in his mind. According to Su Bai:

[You don't need to care about which country or race your opponents are from, all you need to do is to understand all your opponents, be vigilant against them, and then try to surpass them. 】

Puff, puff.

Zhang Ziyi squatted on his starting block, listening to his heart beating and breathing, waiting for the referee's "ready" signal.

This is just a preliminaries for the Asian Championships.

he told himself so.

but……

This will also verify the effectiveness of your training during this time.

Zhang Ziyi went over the results of all the opponents present in his mind, and then——he thought, he could do a little more than expected.

When the 'preparation' sound came out on the radio, there was only a brief pause, and then—"bang"!

The crisp sound of the starting gun sounded from the side and rear of the players, and in the blink of an eye, the 7 figures on the track suddenly started to rush forward together!

On the track, McKnight, Zhang Ziyi, Roger, and Annans are located on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th tracks respectively. These 4 people obviously have no mentality of giving in to each other, and they all want to compete in this race. Winning the top three in the competition will directly qualify for promotion!

In addition to these 4 people, Aman Kur and Mustafa, who are located on the 2nd track and the 7th track, did not appear to admit defeat at the beginning, and the starting speed of these two people was not slow at all. , On the corner of the start, Amancourt and Mustafa both walked very fast and vigorously, wanting to compete with the other 4 top players on the field!

Among all the players, perhaps only Atel had some accidents. The starting reaction of Atel on the 8th track was a bit sluggish, and even his whole starting movement was not particularly smooth. It seemed that it was because of so many Due to the fact that top players usually compete, his overall condition looks a bit bad.

The audience in the auditorium and in front of the TV can clearly see the situation of the players on the field, but of course Zhang Ziyi, who is on the field, cannot see this information and content.

At the start stage, he doesn't need to pay special attention to the players around him, he just needs to focus on his eyes, so that he can maintain enough speed advantage in the start stage, and use the strongest explosive power to save enough for himself. the power of.

As a result, everyone could only see that on the middle of the track, among the black-skinned players, there was a yellow lightning bolt, and his explosive speed at the start was not at all faster than that of the surrounding racers. Those black naturalized players are slower. On the curved track of the 400-meter starting area, he is like a yellow lightning, which is absolutely impossible to ignore!

Behind Zhang Ziyi is Bahrain's Mike Knight.

Since last year's Asian Games, McKnight felt that Chinese players had changed.

Originally, he had only seen this player named 'zhang' in the 400-meter sprint, and in his memory, Chinese players had never posed any threat to him.

However, after the second half of last year, not only did the number of Chinese players in the international arena increase, but also when he met Chinese players in the arena, these players who were not in his eyes have already appeared in his impression. completely different state.

Can Chinese players even threaten him on the 400-meter track? !

McKnight couldn't believe the result for a while after last year's Asian Games.

And during the offseason of last year's outdoor season, he also made good training adjustments. He originally thought that his state had been adjusted very well, but now, that 'zhang' running on the track...

Damn, he's sure, this guy's getting faster again!

The physical reserves of Chinese players have always been inferior to theirs. This 'zhang' must want to hit tomorrow's semi-finals and finals, but his current speed is so fast, is he going to give up tomorrow's game?

Of course this is not possible!

Then the only explanation is - the current speed of this 'zhang' is far from his limit!

After flashing this idea in his mind, McKnight gritted his teeth and adjusted his pace slightly.

Damn it, he doesn't want to fall too far behind this Chinese player in the game!

Far away in China, Su Bai watched the men's 400-meter group 3 preliminaries on the live screen, and did not stop in his hand, but quickly recorded some thoughts that flashed through his mind on the notebook in his hand and data.

More than a month before the Asian Championships, he has started to conduct advanced training for Zhang Ziyi according to his situation. The growth in Zhang Ziyi's strength, explosive power, and absolute speed has gradually begun to show.

What reassures Su Bai the most is Zhang Ziyi's sense of responsibility and calm game mentality.

Zhang Ziyi has always maintained seriousness and respect for any game. He can feel the pressure, but he can also withstand the pressure, and can control his competitive state under these pressures—just like at this time him on the field.

Zhang Ziyi on the field, he can already clearly feel the increase in his own strength and explosive power. This increase in ability is directly reflected in his absolute speed increase.

Once, he was theoretically fastest in the second 10-meter stage, and the speed range was only between 50 and 10 seconds, but during this period, he was in the second 70-meter stage. The speed on the Internet has been steadily increasing, and it has basically stabilized in the range of 10 seconds 35 to 10 seconds 45.

According to the ideal data model of the four 4-meter stages established by Su Bai for him, he has fully met the player model with the goal of 400 meters and 44 seconds in the second stage. He is still lacking in the ability to maintain high speed in the fourth stage.

Such thoughts crossed Zhang Ziyi's mind, but his attention quickly returned to the game - now is not the time for him to be distracted and think about other things!

In the second [-]-meter stage, on a track where most of the track is on a straight track, the speed of every competitor is greatly increased!

Not only Zhang Ziyi, but also McKnight, Roger, Annans, Mustafa...the speed of each of these players is astonishingly fast, and the players who had a gap between the front and the back, in this [-]-meter stage , the distance is being shortened rapidly!

Especially Atel on the 8th track, Mustafa on the 7th track not far behind him is constantly approaching him, and behind Mustafa, there are Zhang Ziyi's 400 The top players in the rice project are watching!

All tm are lunatics!

This is just a preliminaries!

Although Mustafa is very confident in his own strength, he can still feel that behind him, the group of people who make him feel pressure are like him approaching Ater, and they are constantly moving towards him. He looms.

Puff, puff.

The violent heartbeat was already beating fiercely in Mustafa's ears, and the pressure brought to him by the group of people behind him made him even able to hear his nervous heartbeat clearly.

This feeling of being chased by the sound of the heartbeat is really terrible.

Mustafa is trying to stretch his stride, he needs to run faster-although he wants to retain more physical fitness, but if he can't even advance to tomorrow's semi-finals, then the physical fitness he has now What's the point?

Even after watching the first two preliminaries, he was confident that his results would make it to the semi-finals, but with such an inhuman guy chasing after him, Mustafa was against him all of a sudden. I am not confident enough in my speed at the moment.

Then if you want to ensure your results, you can only go faster!

When entering the third [-]-meter stage, Zhang Ziyi's physical condition was still good. Although the instinctive reaction of lactic acid accumulation began to appear in the body, it can be seen from the audience's point of view that in the On the curve, Zhang Ziyi can still compete with the speed of the surrounding players while controlling his own speed and rhythm.

In the Athletics Kingdom forum, a fast-handed track and field fan directly sent a post with only one sentence on his mobile phone——

Subject: [Ah, Zhang Shuai's speed and strength, although the competition is not over yet, it feels like they have improved significantly! 】

This post contains nothing but a sentence in the title. Most of the track and field fans who care about the 400-meter event in the forum have watched the live broadcast of the race, so naturally they don't have the time to see this post.

However, some track and field fans who forgot to watch the live broadcast or felt that the preliminaries were not important, were also aroused by curiosity after seeing this sentence, and directly poked in the sports channel live app on their mobile phones, and happened to see the game the second half of the

In the live broadcast, the commentators Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also talking about the changes on the field.

"Zhang Ziyi's stride should be stronger than in the past? It is obvious that his overall posture on the court has become more stretched. The widening of his stride makes him look more calm. Of course, on the court, this also allows him Improved body stability."

"It can be seen that from the winter training stage to the present, Zhang Ziyi has greatly improved his strength training. Only when his special ability is trained enough can his stride length be improved..."

"Ah, Zhang Ziyi's cornering skills are still very good. McKnight is trying to chase Zhang Ziyi in the cornering stage, but Zhang Ziyi is very stable. He controls the speed and position relationship with McKnight. McKnight failed. success!"

Not only Shao Minyi and Li Sen in the commentary were slightly nervous just now, but Pei Jin'an and Jiang Wentao in the audience were also a little nervous just now.

On the track, McKnight originally tried to further shorten the gap between himself and Zhang Ziyi at the position of the second corner, but he failed.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Ziyi, who was also chasing Roger and Annans in front of him on the bend.

The distance between the two Qatari and Indonesian players and Zhang Ziyi is already very close, but although their speed tended to decline in the third [-]-meter stage, they also controlled their own rhythm and position very well Good - the race is approaching the last [-]-meter stage, and none of them want to fall behind in this final stage.

When the players turned from the curve to the straight, their center of gravity, which was originally inclined to the center of the curve, had been adjusted at the moment they entered the straight, and everyone quickly moved themselves from the curve to the rhythm Switched to the sprint mode for the last [-] meters!

At this stage, the physical fitness of all the players has been reduced to the last bit. After the fast running of 300 meters in front, even if the body and physical fitness are well controlled, the instinctive soreness and heaviness in the body have also disappeared. Found them!

However, no one will admit defeat at this stage!

At the moment when turning from the curve to the straight, the strength and gap between the players on the track had begun to take shape, and the three running in the front were naturally Roger, Annans and Zhang Ziyi.

It should be said that these three people deserve to be the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of last year's Asian Games. From the beginning of this game to the present, there have been no conspicuous mistakes among these three people. The time seems to be evenly matched.

However, everyone knows that this 'evenly matched' is just an illusion.

None of these three people has shown their true housekeeping skills. The speed of the three of them is different, but the distance between the three is not big, but it can be seen from the audience , There is an obvious gap between these three people and the players behind them.

The speed of the three now seems to be a tacit understanding that the three of them have begun to maintain after their speed reaches a certain level—they are still competing with each other within the range of this tacit understanding. It was hard to see how much force they each used.

Behind these three people, the closest to them is Mike Knight. This player from Bahrain is a little annoyed now. He has also discovered the tacit understanding between the people in front of him, and he has also truly recognized it in his heart. , between his own speed and those guys in front

, there is still a certain gap.

Afterwards, Kazakhstan's Amankur and Iraq's Mustafa were in the third group, and the speed between the two was about the same. There was still a distance behind them, and it was Art from Kyrgyzstan. Er - this unlucky guy, among a group of ferocious beasts, is as weak as a shivering little sheep. Not only is he unable to surpass these guys in front of him, but even more so because of the tension and the challenges he faced after the opening. The real strength gap between him and other players has made him unable to even perform in his usual state.

Hoo, hoo, hoo...!

In the last [-]-meter sprint stage, Zhang Ziyi no longer controlled his speed. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and the amplitude and frequency of his arms swing were adjusted accordingly according to the final sprint.

At this final stage, the familiar tingling sensation of breathing has emerged again, but Zhang Ziyi is very clear in his heart, and he can clearly see that compared with the past, his feeling of dyspnea has weakened now He knew that this was because of the improvement of his own ability, and also because he hadn't reached his limit in this competition.

In addition to the familiar breathing sound and the heaviness of the limbs, in Zhang Ziyi's ears, the beating sound of the heart is so vivid and warm!

Not only that, but in the auditorium, the players from China, and his teammates from the Chinese team were shouting loudly, "Ziyi come on!"

', 'Come on Zhang Shuai'.

These familiar and enthusiastic cheering sounds made his body seem to surge with a stronger energy, helping him to sprint forward at a faster speed!

……

wait, no!This is not an illusion!

During this period of training, Su Bai has been telling him that it is improving his lactic acid resistance, which is preparing for the improvement of his speed and endurance in the last stage.

And now, when he has sprinted to the last stage, he can clearly feel the real improvement brought by these abilities on the field!

Tapping.

While Zhang Ziyi's stride length increased, his stride frequency did not drop much, especially in the current arena, this performance is particularly obvious.

When all the players seemed to be a little tired, Zhang Ziyi's stride frequency and stride length made him attract attention for a while.

Annansi and Luo Jie, who were still in stalemate with Zhang Ziyi in terms of speed and position, clearly felt that Zhang Ziyi was sprinting faster than they expected in the final stage!

In just a split second, the tacit understanding between the three was instantly broken.

Zhang Ziyi's speed suddenly increased again, and Annansi and Luo Jie were not to be outdone, they gave up unnecessary restraint, and started the final competition at the fastest speed!

However, Zhang Ziyi's increased speed had given him an advantage before the two of them acted. In the last 50-meter stage, Zhang Ziyi had surpassed Annans and Roger!

The auditorium in the arena became a little noisy for a while, the audience who came to support Roger began to increase their cheering, and in the seats of the Chinese players, the members of the Chinese team also began to shout Zhang Ziyi loudly name, cheer for him!

In front of the TV, even though the audience knew that this was just a preliminaries, they still clenched their fists nervously.

come on! !

Be sure to work hard! ! !

Every audience is nervously watching the changes on the field. Whether it is Zhang Ziyi, Annans or Roger, their speed is fast enough, but how can Zhang Ziyi, who only has the advantage of one step ahead, be willing to fight in the final 50 meters race? Do you want to give up your victory again?

Therefore, in the last 50-meter stage, no matter how Annans and Roger chased, they could not surpass Zhang Ziyi in front.

In the end, this preliminaries, which was almost as exciting as the semi-finals, finally came to an end.

In this preliminaries, Zhang Ziyi won the first place in the preliminaries of this group with a time of 45 seconds.

In addition to Zhang Ziyi and other 3 people, in the preliminaries of this group, even Mustafa, who ranked 6th, scored as high as 46 seconds. If such a result is placed in the first and second groups of the preliminaries, Enough to put Mustafa in the top three.
