After quitting sports, I became a chef

On the field, the men's 400-meter sprint event has been in place one after another.

The gap between this Asian Championships and last year's Asian Games is not long, but the players on the field have undergone new changes compared with the original ones.

La Casa, Reginald and Yota Aso, who were in the finals last year, failed to appear in today's finals, and were replaced by Tsurujo Shiraishi, Mustafa and Amesfat.

Among them, Amersfat, a Kuwaiti player who has suddenly emerged, is aggressive and looks like he is going to fight hard.

In the past six months, amidst the exchange of blood for Asian 400-meter sprinters, the two faces from China in the finals are still standing unchanged.

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen, the old partners, watched the scene on the field, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts. In just one year, they can be said to have watched the 400-meter sprint event with their own eyes. The project, from the appearance that domestic audiences hated iron and steel, but did not dare to be harsh, has changed into the current situation at some point.

You know, even in a country like Bahrain, their two players failed to make it to the finals.

"Compared with the past, China's sprint events are undergoing earth-shaking changes!"

Shao Min smiled and said: "I know, there should be many people in front of the TV who have just started to pay attention to track and field events this year, and they are concerned about the 400-meter sprint event. What is certain is that you have caught up with a good time!"

Li Sen also had a smile on his face: "Isn't it? But there's something bad about it—the 400-meter finals of the Asian Games and Asian Championships in the past, Lao Shao and I sat here to comment, and we didn't have the slightest bit in our hearts." Nervous, it's different now, I'm really a little flustered."

Li Sen's so-called "not good" is obviously ironic. He has a smile on his face. It is obvious that he can be nervous about the players from his own country participating in the finals on the commentary stage. This makes him nervous. Very pleasant.

Shao Minyi also had a smile on his face: "Yes, nervous and looking forward to it!"

In the auditorium, compared to usual, Wang Ting's expression was so tense that he was seriously distorted. He sat upright on the chair, clasped his hands on his knees, and stretched his arms straight Yes, the expression on his face is so serious that it is frightening - any child who sees this expression on his face can easily stop a child from crying at night.

Because the highlight of tonight's competition is the 400-meter and 100-meter finals, Jiang Wentao is sitting next to Pei Jinan and Wang Ting at the moment. He just chatted with Pei Jinan, and he plans to discuss the competition with Wang Ting later. The sudden emergence of the Kuwaiti player Amesfat, turned around and saw Wang Ting who was breathing cold all over his body.

"Oh, old Wang." Jiang Wentao was startled when he saw Wang Ting's appearance: "What are you doing with your face?"

What else can I do?

Of course Wang Ting was worried about Zhang Ziyi's game.

Teachers and apprentices are like father and son. When Zhang Ziyi was in the track and field team of City B, including before Su Bai took over the training of the national team, Zhang Ziyi was always under the guidance of Wang Ting. For this apprentice, Wang Ting also exhausted his thoughts.

Just like this time, although he knew in his heart that there were thousands of things that should not be done, he still couldn't bear it in the end, so he called back to China to discuss with Su Bai, and finally assured Su Bai that if something happened, all responsibilities would be borne by him. Carry it by yourself.

All in all, it was all intolerance to Zhang Ziyi.

Champion, how attractive this word is, needless to say, everyone can know.

However, before last year, Zhang Ziyi had little power to fight back against these Asian players.

Seeing, under Su Bai's guidance, Zhang Ziyi is growing rapidly step by step, catching up to the level of the top Asian players step by step, but who would have known that this originally healthy growth path suddenly began to be spoiled again? up.

Recently, after Zhang Ziyi started intensive training, Wang Ting didn't say anything on the face, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart all the time—if it was possible, who would want to shorten his career and overdraw his potential as the price, regardless of everything? What about training?

More realistically, even if Zhang Ziyi obtained the Olympic qualification at the cost of overdrawing his own limit, it only means that he has the qualification to set foot on the Olympic arena for a try.

Sometimes, Wang Ting would ask himself in his heart: Is this price worthwhile?

However, no one is qualified to answer this question for him except Zhang Ziyi himself.

Zhang Ziyi is peaceful, firm, and responsible. These qualities usually conceal his desire to win as an excellent athlete. It was not until last night that he couldn't help asking that question that Wang Ting realized what he had overlooked, or He said that even if he hadn't ignored it in the past, there was no way for Zhang Ziyi to have the opportunity to touch the highest throne in Asia.

Just try it.

Before setting off in the afternoon, when he said this to Zhang Ziyi, he was also relieved, but after sitting on the field, as the time for the men's 400-meter sprint final was getting closer, he My heart became more and more nervous.

In the women's team, Chen Yadan won the silver medal, which made Wang Ting even more nervous.

Of course, Wang Ting is very clear about the strength of the Bahrain women's team player Nassar. With Nassar standing in front of her, the silver medal won by Chen Yadan can almost be regarded as an Asian women's 400-meter runner. Got the top medal.

that……

Chen Yadan has succeeded, and now Zhang Ziyi is about to start the competition, what will happen to his results?

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Ting couldn't help becoming nervous, and his face became more and more unfriendly to strangers.

Jiang Wentao was taken aback when he saw Wang Ting's face, and Pei Jin'an was also taken aback when he saw his appearance: "Old Wang, are you okay?"

Wang Ting himself didn't know how scary his face was, he just shook his head and said it was all right, but with his appearance, who would think it was all right?

Looking at his appearance, Jiang Wentao felt a little funny, pointed at him, and said, "Old Wang, you are also a veteran national coach. What's going on? Are you so nervous?"

Only then did Wang Ting realize that his back was a little stiff, and his shoulders, neck, and arms were a little stiff. He shook his arms to relax himself.

But before he could say anything, there was a commotion in the auditorium, and then it quickly quieted down—the final of the men's 400-meter sprint was about to start!

Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the arena. Pei Jin'an glanced at Wang Ting from the corner of his eye, and then at the arena, as if he saw something, but he didn't say much, but turned his attention to the match.

On the field, on the arc-shaped starting track of the 400-meter sprint, 8 runners occupy the track from No. 2 to No. 9 respectively. Zhang Ziyi is on the fourth track, and Qiu Wen is arranged in the ninth race because he is only a supplementary promotion. road.

In the commentary seat, Shao Minyi frowned slightly.

"Qiu Wen's track is very unfavorable. In fact, Qiu Wen's time of 45 seconds in the semi-finals ranked fourth among all the active players. But obviously, the organizer did not arrange the track according to the overall score ranking. The two contestants Qiu Wen and Mustafa who made the cut were placed on the second track and the ninth track respectively."

For the arrangement of the track, in addition to following some established general unspoken rules, the organizer also has some autonomy, such as choosing to rank according to the total score or others.

In front of the TV, whether it was new track and field enthusiasts or old track and field fans, after hearing Qiu Wen's track location, they were a little nervous.

However, on the real track, Qiu Wen didn't think about these troubles. He stood behind his starting block, stretched his muscles and bones, and looked back at Zhang Ziyi who was still behind him.

Not only Zhang Ziyi, but Qiu Wen also watched Annans from Indonesia, Roger from Qatar, and I Amesfat from Kuwait.

Qiu Wen grinned while looking at these opponents, and anyone could see the excitement in his eyes.

On the No. 4 track, Zhang Ziyi had already arranged his starting blocks. He was rubbing the muscles on his legs with his hands, and it was difficult to see the expression on his face clearly.

Kuwait's Amesfat is on the third track, behind Zhang Ziyi on the left, Roger and Annans are on the fifth and sixth tracks respectively, and Japan's newly promoted teenager Shiraishizuru is arranged on the seventh track .

When the voice of the referee sounded on the radio, the game had reached the moment of imminent triggering.

In the auditorium, near the starting line, there are quite a few Qatari spectators who came here for Roger’s final. They are waving Qatari flags in their hands, and they are suppressing the cheers in their mouths because the competition is about to start. .

On the track, when Zhang Ziyi glanced across the auditorium inadvertently, he saw that among the Qatari spectators, there were still some scattered spectators holding five-star red flags in their hands. Although the number was small, they were indeed It is indeed from China.

When seeing these spectators and the flags in their hands, although there were a large number of Qatari flags against the surroundings, it also added a different look to Zhang Ziyi's eyes.

Doha, Qatar, 6:21 a.m. local time

When the order from the starter officially sounded on the broadcast, the eight players on the field also quickly circled to their starting blocks, leaned down, put their hands on the ground, and stepped on them accurately with a single leap. on their respective starting blocks.

Finally, when the final was about to start, all the hustle and bustle on the field came to an abrupt end. Everyone quietly watched the players on the track, nervously and silently waiting for the official start of the 400-meter final!

"Everyone take their places."

"preparation."

"boom!"

When these three sounds were made one by one, with the last light sound of the starting gun, the 8 figures at the start of the curve all moved at the same time!

At the same time, the arena, which had been silent for fear of affecting the athletes' start, started to boil again at this moment!

"come on!!!"

"Come on, Roger!!!"

"You're the best!!"

In the auditorium, almost all the roaring cheers came from the national audience of Qatar. They shouted excitedly in the auditorium and waved their national flags in their hands. a corner.

In the Chinese player area of ​​the auditorium, the players of the national team who came to watch the match were also loudly cheering for Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen on the field, but under the momentum of the local Qatari audience, it was really hard to hear the whole scene A shout that belongs to Chinese.

On the track, at the center of the scene, the 8 finalists had already prepared to go all out for the sprint to the top of the Asian 400-meter sprint, and the scene made them even more excited. Become more passionate.

In this final, from the start, the impact of the players on victory has already begun to stand out.

"Rush so fast!"

The moment the starting gun fired, Shao Minyi and Li Sen in the commentary booth were startled by the speed of the eight figures on the track.

After all, the 400-meter sprint starts on a curve. Generally speaking, in order to seek stability, the runners will not rush too fast at the start of the race, which is not conducive to controlling their body movements on the curve.

But in today's race, the starting speed of Zhang Ziyi, Amersfat, Qiu Wen, Luo Jie and others all exceeded the previous ones. Just from the starting reaction speed displayed in real time, it can be seen that the race is being wiped out on the field. Intense sparks.

At 6:20 in Doha, the sky has not completely turned dark, but the scene of the stadium has been lit up like daylight by countless hot headlights. The distance between players is gradually changing.

Amersfat, who is located on the third track, has been keeping his eyes on Zhang Ziyi since the start. His starting speed is very fast, and he can control himself easily even on the curve. With the special steps on the curve, the center of gravity of the body is slightly shifted to the center of the circle, stepping on the edge of the arc all the way thinking about rushing forward.

As for Amesfa, the speed of Zhang Ziyi in front was not slow at all.

As a veteran with many years of rich experience, Zhang Ziyi's corner starting skills are already remarkable, especially after he has undergone high-intensity special strength-enhancing training for the lower body. He seemed more at home in the starting stage.

Under the illumination of the light, the muscles that the light hit seemed to be able to secretly see the explosive power hidden in his body from his limbs.

Ahead, the ninth track where Qiu Wen is located is the track with the most forward reach, and it is also the leader in the initial stage-of course, under normal circumstances, the players on this track can only be in the 'starting' stage To be the leader.

The contestants assigned to the ninth track are often the players with poor performance in the entire field. When the race enters the second and third [-]-meter stages, they will quickly lose the distance due to the distance between the inner and outer tracks. The gap was smoothed out, and then gradually changed from the leader to the prey hunted by the wolves behind, and finally fell to the tail.

However, in today's final, from the very beginning of the game, Qiu Wen told everyone with his performance - he is not that weak 'sheep', he is also a crazy predator in this arena!

Just at the start stage, Qiu Wen's speed made McKnight, who was chasing behind him, a pain in the ass—it wasn't the first time he played with Qiu Wen, but the memory of every time he played with Qiu Wen made McKnight Not too pleasant.

This time, Qiu Wen was on the ninth track. McKnight originally thought that he might restrain himself, but this lunatic of the Chinese team seemed to have never considered the existence of those players behind him. With all his strength, he didn't care about any players behind him.

Yes, McKnight is almost sure that when other players run on the ninth track, they are only worried because they don’t know the speed of the players behind them, and they are afraid that they will rush too hard in the early stage, which will cause their speed to lose control.

But this lunatic of the Chinese team is different. He just cares about running for himself, and he is completely free to sprint forward according to his own rhythm. McKnight could only grit his teeth and rush forward.

The amazingly fast speed of the runners on the ninth and eighth tracks from the beginning will naturally affect the runners behind.

Bai Shihe gave way to the seventh track. In his eyes, Qiu Wen was originally his enemy. With Qiu Wen's speed, his speed would naturally not let go.

They are also players who have transferred from 100 meters and 200 meters. Of course, Bai Shiherang's speed in the starting stage should not be underestimated. I also gradually began to speed up my pace because of the speed of the players on the three tracks 7, 8, and 9 ahead.

"The rhythm of this 400-meter final is faster and more intense than any previous competition! Ahead, on the ninth track is Chinese player Qiu Wen. Qiu Wen's consistent characteristic is his sprint speed at the start stage , especially in the second section of the 44-meter track, his absolute speed has reached the speed of a player at the [-]-second level. In such a field today, Qiu Wen was arranged on the ninth track. Other players may be a huge unstable factor that can affect them."

In the commentary seat, Shao Minyi and Li Sen looked at the situation on the field with great interest.

In the auditorium, Wang Ting's focus on the overall game after the game really started made him less nervous. He clenched his fists on his knees and stared at the field in front of him seriously.

On the arena, because of Qiu Wen's sprint ahead, many people's eyes were attracted by the speed chase between Qiu Wen and other outsiders, so they didn't notice that Zhang Ziyi, who was originally on the fourth track, was in the inside area. , the distance from Roger on the fifth track is gradually getting closer at a speed visible to the naked eye!

On the track, as a mature player, Roger can still control his rhythm relatively normally. After turning the first corner to the straight road, he also maximized his speed and ran out on the straight road. own maximum speed.

However, while he was running at his maximum speed, his keen sense as an excellent athlete told him that someone was constantly approaching behind him!

How can it be? !

This was Roger's first reaction.

Due to the starting position of the 400-meter curve, each athlete’s starting position is different. The distance between the nearest two runways is about 15 meters. Only after running the first curve, they are still on the first straight. When going up, the distance difference between the players is still very large.

It's just that at this stage, it's impossible for the players behind him to catch up with him!

The reason in Roger's heart told him this, but the outsiders in the front were running too crazy. This kind of madness has gradually spread to the inside, coupled with the sense of threat from the rear, this made Roger gradually start to doubt, Did he make a mistake in his rhythm at the beginning of the game?

"Roger!! Come on!!!"

"Over those little guys!!!"

In the auditorium, the cheers of the audience were very enthusiastic. From these cheers, one can clearly feel the audience's expectation for Roger's speed.

He has to go faster, he has to go faster!

Fiery cheering shouts rushed into Roger's mind, and his footsteps and rhythm moving forward gradually moved closer to the outsiders.

"It's a crazy game!"

In the commentary seat of the sports channel, Li Sen's voice was also a little surprised. The sprinting of the players on the field was too intense. This was only the first half of the field, and the distance and position of the players on the field were already There have been many changes.

No one can escape the crazy spell on the field. After Roger's speed also accelerated, Annans' rhythm also began to increase.

Behind Roger, Zhang Ziyi was indeed starting to pursue his position as he expected!

Whoosh, whoosh...

On the track, no one really noticed Zhang Ziyi's speed and rhythm at the beginning, because the atmosphere of the players on the whole field has become extremely excited, everyone's speed is very fast, and no one can beat it except themselves. Identify whether they are active or passive.

Until the race schedule entered the stage of the second corner.

As the players entered the second corner, Qiu Wen, who was on the outermost edge, was losing his original starting distance advantage in the outer lane, and McKnight, who was following Qiu Wen, began to get closer and closer to Qiu Wen with his own distance. As he got closer, he thought in his heart that he was about to break through Qiu Wen's position. As a result, when the distance between the two was shortened to a certain stage, he could no longer get any closer to Qiu Wen.

Bai Shihe on the seventh track gave way to my stage, and his physical fitness could no longer support him to continue forward, but he still gritted his teeth, looked at the direction where Qiu Wen was in front, endured the heavy feeling of his body, and exhausted all his strength Increase your stride forward.

When the second corner was about to reach the end, Roger on the fifth track and Annans on the sixth track had shown their absolute strength.

Even in the first half of the schedule, Roger and Annans were indeed influenced by the outer circle players, but when the second corner was about to end, they had already reached the lead...

Do not!

They are not ahead!

When they were about to turn from the curve to the straight, a silent figure suddenly appeared on the fourth runway on the inner side of them.

The figure of Zhang Ziyi began to run parallel with them on the straight, and Roger realized the threat he felt from the rear during the first straight stage.

"Damn it, Old Zhang!!!"

Guo Dun, Lin Chuan, Zhang Wei, and Li Junhao were all sitting in the seats of the Chinese players in the auditorium. When Guo Dun saw Zhang Ziyi on the track turn from a curve to a straight, he directly tore apart Roger and Annans in front of him. When the two competed, they jumped up from the chair in shock.

Jiang Wentao was also startled by Zhang Ziyi's speed. He stared at the figure on the track—it was indeed Zhang Ziyi!

"Unbelievable!" In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi blurted out in an instant: "Leading! After the second corner turned into the final straight, the leader now is our country's player Zhang Ziyi!!"

Not only that, except for Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen has not been thrown off by the first group at this stage. He is in the ninth track, but he is still in fourth place at this stage.

In front of the TV, the audience was extremely looking forward to the final, but even so, the audience who were looking forward to the final did not expect that they could see a scene like before them.

For a moment, they should have been excited, but the audience seemed to be in a dream, staring blankly at the TV screen in front of them, forgetting to cheer or get nervous.

On the track, Zhang Ziyi's sprint reached the final stage. He should have felt tired, heavy, and the tearing pain in his throat, but at this moment, his mind was already ruled by complete excitement.

happy!

This is the only thought in his mind at this moment.

He wants to sprint happily, he wants to race happily, he wants to chase a dream that belongs to him...and this dream, right in front of his eyes, is about to be caught by him!

Even though the heaviness in his body was gradually swallowing him up, the excitement in his mind was enough to offset all of this;

Even though the violent breathing had already made his throat feel painful, the victory in front of him... was enough to offset all of this!

The distance between Roger and Annans and Zhang Ziyi is actually very close. At this time, the distance between the first group on the field is no more than 1 meter. As long as a slack or a full-strength breakthrough breaks out, it may happen. Variety.

In the auditorium, cheers from the audience for Roger continued to be heard.

And when there was still the last 50 meters away on the track, the audience did not wait for the explosion from Roger, but waited for the explosion of Amersfate's speed!

Just from the perspective of the audience, it can be seen that Amersfate's step frequency between his feet is far faster than that of other players on the side.

Not only Amersfate, but on the ninth track, Qiu Wen's speed also broke through the previous rhythm, and then under McKnight's astonished eyes, he completely shook off him and rushed into the first group.

In the final 50-meter sprint, it was as if there was a chaotic fight between the contestants.

In the commentary seat of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen's hearts were already hanging on their chests.

"The last 50 meters!!! Zhang Ziyi still has the advantage!!!"

"In the last 40 meters, Amersfate is catching up. Amesfate passed Roger and Annans!!! Be careful, Zhang Ziyi, be careful of the players behind!!!"

Following Shao Minyi's shout, the audience in front of the TV screen seemed to wake up, staring at the final sprint screen on the TV, they shouted loudly in front of the TV.

"Come on!!! Zhang Shuai Chong!!!"

In the auditorium at the game site, the only small group of Chinese spectators were already shouting red-eyed at the moment, their throats were hoarse and stinging, and they were still waving the Chinese national flag in their hands.

They didn't expect at all, maybe it was just a temporary match to watch, and they could see such a fierce scene on the spot.

"Come on!!! Zhang Ziyi come on!!!"

"Qiu Wen, come on!!!"

On the field, at the final stage, although the players want to sprint forward as fast as possible, their physical energy is on the verge of exhaustion. The heaviness of the body is against all kinds of sore and unbearable sensations.

Crush it!

They must rush forward, and only after crossing that finish line will it be the fateful end of their race.

"The last 30 meters!"

"20 meters!"

"10 m!!!!!"

When all the players rushed to the final 10-meter stage, the form on the field and the situation when the last corner turned straight had changed drastically.

Zhang Ziyi, who was still fourth at the corner, had already rushed to the front, and Amesfate, who was originally behind Zhang Ziyi, still fell behind him. Even at the last 10 meters, Amesfat Fate still did not give up hope of overtaking.

The champions and runners-up of the Asian Games Roger and Annans were only third and fourth at this time... No, in the final stage, Qiu Wen also relied on his strong speed and endurance to gradually counterattack in the last 50 meters!

Finally, when a figure crossed the finish line first, all the Chinese players and coaches on the seats in the Chinese player area of ​​the auditorium were shocked to their feet.

Immediately following was Amestel from Kuwait, and the third figure after that...

Is it Roger or Annans?

Jiang Wentao pointed in the direction of the arena in disbelief, and then looked left and right. Beside him, Pei Jinan said in a trembling voice: "...the third one is also ours... yes, Qiu Wentao !"

After Jiang Wentao turned his head in amazement and looked at Wang Ting on the other side, he saw that the corners of Wang Ting's eyes had slipped down with tears.

Wang Ting glanced back at Jiang Wentao, and then said with certainty: "Old Jiang, today... the champion and the third runner-up of the men's 400-meter sprint at the Asian Track and Field Championships are ours!"

"Champion!!! Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen won the championship and third place in the men's 400m final!!! The champion is Zhang Ziyi and the third place is Qiu Wen!"

When Shao Minyi and Li Sen yelled these words in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, the track and field fans sitting in front of the TV blew their minds and completely exploded.

Champion and runner-up!

It's the champion and runner-up! !

For a while, there was only such a cycle left in many people's minds.
