After quitting sports, I became a chef

"First in the preliminaries, first in the semi-finals..."

Jiang Wentao smiled and joked at the seats in the Chinese contestants section of the auditorium, "If Ziyi can get the first place in the final again, that would be amazing!"

The members of the coaching staff present laughed when they heard Jiang Wentao's words. The track and field team's sprint performance is constantly improving. As long as they are members of the track and field team, they are very happy. Didn't pay much attention.

Among the crowd, only Wang Ting sat on the side. After hearing this, his face showed a sad face—these guys thought that Jiang Wentao was joking, but he knew that Zhang Ziyi really had such thoughts in his heart.

Last night Zhang Ziyi asked him if he had any hope of winning the championship.

For athletes, no matter how stable they are, there is a desire to win in their hearts, and the desire to win the game is a necessary condition for becoming a top player.

Although Wang Ting seldom heard Zhang Ziyi mention the outcome of a certain match before this match, he only considered the overall situation of the team.

But last night, Wang Ting really saw Zhang Ziyi's desire for the championship position in Zhang Ziyi's eyes.

In any case, track and field fans are very happy that Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen both advanced to the men's 400m final.

But at the same time, the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter event were also completed in the afternoon of the second competition day. Finished fourth in the final group.

Although Zhao Shu played well, his time of 10 seconds still could not make him enter the final list, so he could only stop here regrettably.

There are no semi-finals for the women's 100m, 200m and 400m. The finals are scheduled for the evening and will be held at the same time as the men's 3 sprint finals.

In this day's competition, in addition to the sprint events, there were also men's high jump qualifying competitions and men's javelin finals in field events. In the high jump event, both Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao were in excellent condition.

After Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao easily crossed the height of 2 meters, there was no suspense for them in the qualifying round. In the end, the qualifying line for the men's high jump final was cut at a height of 24 meters.

Because of the high temperature outside at noon, the Asian Championships in Doha were scheduled from 8:30 am to 11 am and after 5 pm.

After the morning schedule ended, the national team members returned to the sports village by bus. After lunch, Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi, who had events in the evening, were thrown into the lobby of the logistics medical team and asked the masseur to They relieve the muscles and bones and restore physical fitness as soon as possible.

Perhaps it was because Qiu Wen was very young after all. Although he ran a semi-final in the morning that required a lot of physical energy, at this moment, he was alive again, lying on the massage table, and began to chatter non-stop.

"What's the name of that Amei? He ran really fiercely. In the second half of the race, it seemed like the engine was running. It seemed that he didn't control the rhythm and slow down at all!"

Of course, Zhang Ziyi also noticed Amesfar who was in the same group as Qiu Wen in the morning. This Kuwaiti player Zhang Ziyi had met in the past, but at that time, Amesfar was not particularly outstanding, and his results were only slightly better than him. But I can't see the momentum of this game.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ziyi looked back at the players in the same group as him in the morning: "That Japanese teenager, Tsurujo Shiraishi, has a very similar style to yours at the beginning stage, and is also a noteworthy player."

Of course, Qiu Wen also remembered that Bai Shiherang. When he heard Zhang Ziyi's words, he grinned. Before he could speak, the masseur pressed a certain acupuncture point on his body and screamed: " Oh, pain, pain, pain, master Liu, be gentle!"

Liu Ping, the masseur who was giving Qiu Wen a massage, slapped Qiu Wen angrily: "Okay, you boy, every time you press an acupuncture point, you will be the loudest."

Qiu Wen yelled, and then laughed heartlessly: "Master Liu, you should be gentler!" After saying that, Qiu Wen turned his head and said to Zhang Ziyi: "That Bai Shiherang, There is always a feeling that he will become very strong, I also told Xiaobai, and Xiaobai also said that he is very talented, and he will probably be an opponent that Ahao and I should be careful about in the future."

Hearing Qiu Wen's words, Zhang Ziyi also nodded silently.

In the past six months or so, the Chinese track and field team has been making rapid progress, but in terms of track and field, it is definitely not just the Chinese track and field team that has improved.

For example, Amesfat in Kuwait, and Tsurujo Shiraishi, who is now appearing in the Japanese team-in this event, this rookie has surpassed the veteran Yota Aso of the Japanese team's 400-meter event, and successfully entered the 400-meter event final.

After Zhang Ziyi thought of this, he closed his eyes.

In fact, when he and Wang Ting mentioned the desire for the championship the night before, the idea of ​​chasing the championship really surged in his heart, but he also clearly remembered that in this competition, he He also shoulders the heavy burden of men's and mixed men's and women's 4*400-meter relays.

Rather than trying his best to win a gold medal with little hope in the single event, it is more important for him to control his physical condition and try to see if his physical fitness can run in this Asian Championships. to a few shots.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyi didn't say anything more, but after the massage, he patted Qiu Wen's shoulder, smiled and said cheers to him.

"Don't forget the promise you made to Xiaobai before."

Qiu Wen was stunned for a moment, then with a bitter face, he remembered what he had once boasted to Su Bai before, that he won the Haikou World Athletics Championships this year in the first leg of the outdoor season.

After the morning semi-finals of the Doha Asian Championships, the domestic Internet is actually discussing topics related to the results of Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi.

Subject: [Next bet, Xiaoqiu semi-final 45 seconds 36...!Bet on tonight's final, whether Xiaoqiu can break into 45 seconds and qualify for the World Championships! 】

5l: [It’s okay to bet on one. After all, this morning is the semi-finals. The contestants should have saved a little energy, but this time the preliminaries and semi-finals are all dead. How did they make it to the preliminaries and the semi-finals? 】

7l: [During the preliminaries, that Atel from Kyrgyzstan...was really miserable, he was crushed all the way. In the semi-finals, Xiaoqiu's group made me tremble with fear. I was afraid that Xiaoqiu would not be able to make it through. Fortunately, although they failed to advance directly to the top three, their time of 45 seconds made it to the final. 】

10l: [The semi-finals in the morning made me look stupid, and I only realized it now, Xiaoqiu's time of 45 seconds, this is also Xiaoqiu's new pb, right?Wow, calculated in this way, this result is not far from the world championship standard of 36 seconds! 】

15l: [Speaking of which, Zhang Shuai hasn't run out of full form yet, right?If Zhang Shuai goes all out, is there any hope of winning the championship? 】

18l: [If you are a champion, you must run within 45 seconds at least, right?It feels a bit difficult...]

At 7 or 8 pm domestic time, Su Bai received another call from Wang Ting, but Wang Ting on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

After listening to Wang Ting go around for a long time, Su Bai sighed silently: "Old Wang, do you want to talk about Ziyi?"

As Zhang Ziyi's head coach, although these two games were only watched on TV, Su Bai also had some clues to Zhang Ziyi's ups and downs in the two games.

Players' pursuit of personal achievements, as well as players' coordination and sacrifice in individual and team events, are problems that players of the national team often have to face.

Zhang Ziyi's current status as the captain of the national team's 400-meter men's team, coupled with his gradually rising personal performance, is doomed to the pressure and responsibility he must bear in some competitions, and it is difficult for him to Desperate to overdraw one's physical fitness and pursue the limit of individual events.

Wang Ting replied 'yes' on the other end of the phone, but as the former head coach of the national team's 400-meter event, he actually knew that now he called Su Bai, and Su Bai couldn't make better coordination here.

He also knew that before the start of the Asian Championships, the team formulated corresponding performance tasks for each event according to the situation of each event. Su Bai didn't seriously mention it to the team members, but it didn't mean that Su Bai didn't have such tasks. pressure.

In the 4*400m relay, the men’s team here has the medals from last year’s Asian Games for comparison. The goal of this Asian Championships, of course, is to go for the medals. In the mixed relay, although Because of the past results, you can consider giving up, but the team must at least try to make it to the finals, and strive to get a result that has improved compared to the past.

And if this is the case, in these relay events, Zhang Ziyi, who can almost be regarded as a reassurance in the team, is indispensable.

Although Qiu Wen's performance is not much worse than Zhang Ziyi's now, but to be honest, the only core of the relay team is still Zhang Ziyi. Before Qiu Wen really grows up to replace Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ziyi's position cannot replaceable.

On the one hand, it is Zhang Ziyi's thirst for victory in personal events, and on the other hand, his irreplaceable position of responsibility.

It was because of this concern that Wang Ting was unable to really give Zhang Ziyi any response and promise the night before, but now he called Su Bai, but he couldn't speak, and it was also because he clearly understood that he couldn't put himself They all understand that it is difficult to make a decision, and push it to Su Bai.

On the other end of the phone, Su Bai was actually watching the discussion on the Athletics Kingdom forum. He looked at the discussion content on the screen, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally opened his mouth.

"Try it." Su Bai said.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Ting was taken aback after hearing this.

"Let him go all out and try." Su Bai calculated the team's team configuration in his mind, and said: "Since it is a team, we can't have one person take full responsibility and compromise. Qiu Wen and Li Junhao's The current state is also good, and when it comes to the relay race, they can also try to take on more responsibilities."

Hearing this, Wang Ting was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell him, if there is any opinion in the team later, Xiaobai, you can say that I made the decision!"
