After quitting sports, I became a chef

When Cui Luoheng hung up the phone, it was already past ten o'clock at night local time in Doha. He was in the same athlete dormitory where Lu Mengfan lived in the sports village. At this moment, he hung up the phone, and Lu Mengfan had just taken a shower in the bathroom. After coming out of the shower, after seeing Cui Luoheng finished talking on the phone, Lu Mengfan told him to go take a shower and get some rest early in the evening. There will be their most critical battle in the 110-meter hurdles tomorrow morning.

While talking, Lu Mengfan casually chatted with Cui Luoheng: "Did you just talk to Coach Xiao Su?"

Cui Luoheng was still looking at the phone in his hand at the moment, with some hesitation on his face.

Hearing Lu Mengfan's question, he nodded muffled.

"Then you and Coach Xiao Su really have a good relationship." Lu Mengfan joked with a smile, "I've never seen you act coquettishly with others."

……

…………

?

When Cui Luoheng heard Lu Mengfan's words, he raised his head in astonishment, the expression on his face seemed to say: What are you acting like a baby?

Seeing Cui Luoheng's appearance, Lu Mengfan burst out laughing immediately: "It's alright, alright, you're not being coquettish, go and wash up, or I can call Coach Xiao Su and tell you that you don't have a good rest before the game."

?

Lu Mengfan's 'threat' sounded a little nonsensical, but when Cui Luoheng heard it, he frowned, stood up, took off his shirt, and went to the bathroom.

Cui Luoheng wasn't afraid of Lu Mengfan's 'threat', but he really thought about the next day's match - this was his first final match after the [-]-[-] change, although in the preliminaries, his results were already amazing However, if they fail to keep this advantage in tomorrow's final, then everything in the preliminaries will become a 'coincidence' in the eyes of others.

He remembered that just before he hung up the phone, Su Bai praised his performance in the preliminaries, and at the same time expressed his concern for tomorrow's finals.

There is no room for loss in tomorrow's final.

With such a mood, Cui Luoheng quickly finished washing and tidying up, and then lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

The next morning, domestic

When the men's high jump finals ended the day before, it was already one or two o'clock at night in China. Although there were diehard track and field fans who followed the live broadcast of the finals to the end, there were also many fans who woke up the next day Game replays rewatched live online on sports channels.

The entry of the high jump twin stars was once again brushed back on the hot search list because of the large number of viewers who were reviewing the finals of the previous night.

While reviewing the performance of Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao the previous night, more audiences began to look forward to today's match.

Athletics Kingdom Forum

Theme: [The last day of the Asian Athletics Championships!Let's count today's key events! 】

Topic content: [In the previous three days of competition, the Chinese team has won 9 gold medals, 12 silver medals and 8 bronze medals, and is currently ranked first in the medal list and gold medal list. Today is the last match day, can you Keeping the two first places in the medal list and the gold medal list, today's game is very critical!

(Asian Championship day4 schedule map.jpg)

I uploaded a picture of today's race schedule. There are several key competitions today, which I believe everyone will pay close attention to. They are the men's 110m hurdles final, the men's long jump final, the men's 4*400m relay final, mixed gender and women's 4*400m final.

These games are all events that the Chinese team is expected to win. As long as we win them steadily, our gold medal list and medal list will be stable! 】

3l: [In fact, our medal list is basically stable, mainly the gold medal list. The gold medal list of the Kingdom of Bahrain is tied with ours now, and the gold medal of the Japanese team is only one piece behind ours. At the critical moment, the teams of these two countries , Today there are competitive events to participate in, Bahrain's women's 4*400m and mixed gender 4*400m, Japan's men's 400m, these are their strengths, we have a chance to win the championship today , it’s about the men’s 110-meter hurdles...]

6l: [The friend on the 3rd floor is right. Today's competitions are a mess. Let's see who can take advantage of it and win the first place in the gold medal list. If we can hold on to the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles, Then, if we win the men's 4*400m gold medal from the Japanese team, we can guarantee that we can at least compete with Bahrain for a gold medal and tie for the first place. 】

10l: [Looking back at Cui Luoheng's previous 110-meter hurdles preliminaries, yesterday's 13 seconds, I feel that he ran quite easily. The current 30-meter hurdles players, there should be no one who can suppress him, as long as he maintains the preliminaries. It is not a problem to win at least one gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles today. 】

13l: [During the Asian Games last year, our men's 4*400 meters could win a silver medal. This year, Lin Chuan in the team replaced Xiaoqiu, and the overall strength of the players has improved. There is still hope for a gold medal. ? 】

……

On the forum of the Track and Field Kingdom, the discussions among track and field fans were very intense, and in the China Building of the Sports Village in Doha, the players also got up early in the morning. Among them, the 400-meter players who had a competition in the evening had a brief rest together. Adjusted the state, and at the same time, Wang Ting also directly called the male and female players together to discuss the game strategy for the evening.

When it comes to the relay, it feels like rushing all the way. When passing and receiving the baton, the tacit understanding is good enough, but it is a 4*100-meter relay. In the 4*400-meter relay, enter the second leg and start grabbing After the Dao, how to seize the Dao and how to preserve one's own advantage in the end is actually quite a complicated tactical issue.

Except for the players in the 400-meter event, the rest of the players who did not compete all followed the bus allocated by the organizer to the scene to cheer for their teammates of the national team.

In the morning competition, in addition to the 110-meter hurdles, there were women's 100-meter hurdles, men's long jump, and men's hammer throw.

Whether it is Cui Luoheng or Lu Mengfan, both of them have the possibility of aiming for the medal.

When the live broadcast of the last day of the Asian Championships began, Su Bai also turned on the live broadcast of the TV in China according to the agreement, and began to wait for today's competition. time.

Doha Stadium scene, preparation area

After Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng arrived at the scene and changed their clothes, they went to the preparation field and began to warm up for the later competition.

The preparation venue for the game allows the media to apply for photography interviews in advance. The media reporters who followed the national team to Doha will certainly not miss the opportunity for pre-match interviews in such a key event today.

When Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng's warm-up was ready to come to an end, the sports channel reporter carrying the machine came up to them.

This reporter's name is Lu Yuan, and he has the same surname as Lu Mengfan. In the past, because of the same rare surname, the two of them were familiar with each other. Now when Lu Mengfan saw Lu Yuan, he also smiled and hit him Hello.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Cui." Lu Yuan was a character with a three-pointed smile when he saw everyone, and when he arrived at Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

However, now that Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng had finished warming up before the game, there was not much time for them to go on the field. After Lu Yuan said hello, he immediately brought the topic to the later game.

"At last year's Asian Games, Xiao Lu and you and Xiao Cui jointly won two medals in the 110-meter hurdles, which was a glorious arena. For today's final, do you have the confidence to create a miracle of winning both medals again?"

This question is actually quite routine, Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng of course both nodded in agreement.

However, after finishing speaking, Lu Mengfan stroked his chin and smiled: "However, I disagree with Ah Heng's previous thoughts."

Lu Mengfan's words made Lu Yuan and Cui Luoheng stunned for a moment.

"What's Xiao Cui thinking?"

Lu Yuan asked subconsciously.

"gold medal."

Lu Mengfan simply responded with two words, and then Lu Yuan's expression turned serious: Hey!What Lu Mengfan was talking about was what Cui Luoheng said in the interview before departure that he wanted to win the gold medal!

"Then... what do you mean?"

Lu Yuan held out the microphone tremblingly, waiting for Lu Mengfan's answer.

Lu Mengfan smiled with a good temper, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course my goal is also a gold medal."

!

Hey!

Do you really mean that?

Lu Yuan reviewed Lu Mengfan's result in the preliminaries the day before, 13 seconds 47, this time, among all the contestants in the preliminaries, can actually be ranked in the top three, but it is different from Cui Luoheng's 13 seconds that surprised everyone yesterday. Compared with the score of 30 seconds, it is still a little bit worse.

Seeing the surprised expression on Lu Yuan's face, Lu Mengfan smiled again, and then said seriously: "A player who doesn't want to win a gold medal will not stand in this arena."

Hearing Lu Mengfan's answer, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment—the meaning of these words is actually very simple and clear: he knows that his current result may be a certain gap with Cui Luoheng who has already run 13 seconds , but in the face of gaps, facing difficulties, always chasing higher, faster and stronger, this is the competitive spirit of athletes.

What he pursues is not a stubborn and dull victory, but a heart that persistently pursues victory.

And who said that if there is a gap in strength, one cannot aspire to victory?

Beside Lu Mengfan, Cui Luoheng's eyes moved slightly after hearing his words, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Mengfan, then looked at him, and then said very seriously: "But the gold medal is still will be mine."

Hearing Cui Luoheng's answer, Lu Mengfan couldn't help laughing, then nodded: "Okay, then let's see the real chapter on the field!"

After speaking, Lu Mengfan seemed to feel a little funny and said: "The competition hasn't started yet, but we seem to be sharing the gold medal."

Beside the two, Lu Yuan listened to the conversation between Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng. He was stunned for a while, took a breath for a while, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are all right, then I will look forward to you Great matchup on the field!"

When Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng heard this, they also glanced at each other. It was clear that the competition hadn't started yet, and the two were not tense, but Lu Yuan seemed to feel that these two people were competing with each other right now. up.

When the time reached 9:15 a.m. local time in Doha, the women's 100-meter hurdles event was over. Immediately afterwards, the track was adjusted by the on-site staff, and the players were also guided by the staff. Came to the arena.

On the last day of the Asian Championships, today's events are all the most important finals. Although it is still the morning of the working day, there are still many spectators who come to watch the game.

Most of them are spectators from Qatar, and there are also many track and field fans from other Asian countries who came to watch the game. After these track and field fans saw the 110-meter hurdles players appearing on the stage, the scene once again burst into enthusiastic voices , looking forward to the next outstanding performance of these players.

In China, many track and field fans woke up early in the morning, and they are already looking forward to the 110-meter hurdles. One is to expect Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan to win two medals again, and the other is to look forward to watching it again. Looking at Cui Luoheng's actual state, let's see if his eight-to-seven performance has stabilized.

Jiang Wentao and Lu Shengbin were also discussing the topic of changing from eight to seven in the Chinese players area of ​​the auditorium. After all, the actual effect of Cui Luoheng's eight to seven was right in front of him.

"I have already discussed this matter with Xiaolu and Yankai during the winter training period before the eighth change." Lu Shengbin said to Jiang Wentao: "At that time, I also consulted with Coach Xiaosu. He thinks it is appropriate to change from eight to seven in theory, but in terms of timing, the winter training has already passed halfway, and he thinks it would be more appropriate to adjust the technical adjustment time from eight to seven in the winter training stage."

Jiang Wentao nodded understandingly: "Indeed, at that time, Xiao Cui was already making adjustments from eight to seven. If his results didn't come out, Lu Mengfan and Zhao Yankai would fold in again. impact, and may even affect the subsequent stage of the Tokyo Olympics.”

After all, they all know that it is really difficult to say about the state of the athletes. If the technical adjustment fails, it may affect the entire season or even multiple seasons in the future.

"Yes, that's what I mean too." Lu Shengbin nodded: "Coach Xiao Su helped communicate and adjust the training plan before. For Xiaolu and Yankai, the effect is good. According to the idea of ​​this training plan, At least this season, both of them have the chance to reach the World Championships. After the World Championships, it is safer to sprint to Tokyo in this year's winter training."

As he said that, Lu Shengbin laughed again: "However, the matter of changing from eight to seven has been firmly placed on the schedule. After all, Cui Luoheng's performance improvement effect is here, let alone me, Xiaolu and Yankai In their hearts, it is impossible not to be moved."

How to adjust the player's technical adjustment, will it have any effect after the adjustment, or will it cause adverse effects?

These are what the coaches of the coaching staff and the scholars in the national team's research office are considering every day. After all, facing these top players, it is very likely that a small technical adjustment will affect the whole body.

Jiang Wentao and Lu Shengbin were chatting here while paying attention to the arena, and on the arena, the 8 finalists were already getting ready on the arena—the match was about to start.

In China, in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen have just introduced the 8 finalists of the final. Unlike the previous men's 100m, 200m and 400m events, this 110m hurdles In the finals, the players present were almost all oriental faces with black hair and yellow skin.

Although this was the Asian Championships, the track and field fans who had seen too many dark-skinned naturalized players were a little surprised when they suddenly saw such players.

On the track at this time, apart from Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan, the strongest players are Komatsu Koichi from the Japanese team, and Sun Youchen from the Taipei team.

These players and Lu Mengfan were all old rivals, and facing Cui Luoheng, who made a sudden breakthrough last year and directly rushed to 13 in yesterday's preliminaries, these players were full of vigilance.

13 seconds 30...

Could this result be a flash in the pan yesterday, or Cui Luoheng's true strength?

With this tense and stressful atmosphere, the contestants either stood behind the starting blocks with their hands on their hips, or simply jumped on the spot to make final adjustments.

Finally, when the starter's voice sounded on the broadcast, the final of the 110-meter hurdles was finally officially kicking off!

In China, Su Bai was already sitting in front of the TV at this time, tapping the record book in his hand lightly with the pen in his hand, looking at Cui Luoheng who had already circled the starting block and got ready on the field.

At this time, Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan's tracks were adjacent to each other. They were located on the fourth track and the fifth track respectively. On Lu Mengfan's right hand side, on the sixth track, was Koichi Komatsu from Japan.

On the field, every player seemed to be in a tense state—after all, Cui Luoheng, who was on the same starting line as them, had the strength of 13 seconds that he showed the day before, and now it was under the pressure of these players. In their hearts, no one could say what they didn't care about.

In fact, in this arena, the only two people who were in a relatively relaxed state were Cui Luoheng himself, who was stared at by everyone, and Lu Mengfan, who was still laughing and provoking before the game, saying that he wanted to compete for the gold medal.

Cui Luoheng was squatting on the starting block of the fourth track at this time, with his eyes slightly closed. For a moment, his mind suddenly flashed the scene when he competed in China at the beginning of last year's season.

At that time, he didn't know the real problems he encountered, so that when he actually played the game, he always mistakenly believed that his mental endurance was too weak, so he was always unable to exert his full strength.

During that time, his heart was always in silent pain and self-blame.

If it wasn't for meeting Su Bai...

Maybe he has overloaded training again and again because he can't forgive himself now, and then suffered a whole body of injuries, right?

Although the competition was about to start at any time, Cui Luoheng still flashed through the phone call to Su Bai last night in Cui Luoheng's mind. It sounded clearly in his ears.

[Exhale, inhale... don't care about other players around you, all you have to pay attention to is yourself. 】

[Hold your breath, go all out, let go of your rhythm, I believe, you can. 】

Accompanied by this sound, the starter's 'ready' sound also sounded on the radio, followed by the sound of a starting gun—"Bang!"

"The game! It's started!!"

On the commentary seat, Shao Minyi made a short and fast commentary: "Start! Very good, both Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng react very quickly!"

Yes, on the track at this time, after the firing of the starting gun, the two people with the fastest starting reaction were Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng of the Chinese team respectively!

The reaction speeds of 0.121 and 0.118 crushed the remaining 6 players on the field, and Sun Youchen from Taipei ranked third in reaction speed, but the reaction speed of 0.127 was still comparable to the speed of Lu Mengfan and Cui Luoheng. It is slightly inferior.

After all the contestants stepped on the starting block and started explosively, the figures on the track rushed forward like ferocious beasts. Everyone had serious and ferocious expressions on their faces. No one had the energy to care about these. In the arena, there is no good-looking image, only running with all your strength!

At the stage before the hurdle track, it was originally his weakness for Cui Luoheng, but after using the seven-step hurdle attack technique, his height and leg length are no longer restricted by the eight-step pace on the track. Under the explosive pedaling, his body speed increased rapidly. Because of the seven-step attacking hurdle, his body leaned forward more than the eight-step attacking hurdle. This posture full of impact is also more conducive to Sprint!

Beside Cui Luoheng, Lu Mengfan is also rapidly increasing his speed in front of the fence. Every step of his step is extremely powerful to continue to generate stronger explosive power for himself. This power is being accumulated in him step by step. body, propelling him forward even faster.

"Good job! Cui Luoheng and Lu Mengfan are both very fast in front of the hurdle! They reached the first hurdle side by side! Start attacking the hurdle!"

Shao Minyi spoke very fast, but no matter how fast he spoke, he could not keep up with the changes on the scene.

After all, the eight-step hurdle attack is different from the seven-step hurdle attack. The eight-step hurdle attack reaches the last step before the hurdle, and the steps will all be reduced. This will affect the speed and rhythm when attacking the first hurdle. This is also the 110-meter hurdle One of those skills that athletes need to learn and perfect.

The seven-step attacking hurdle is different, there is no rhythm of narrowing the steps in front of the hurdle, although this rhythm habit will be different from the habit of attacking the hurdle that Cui Luoheng learned in the past, but during these months of training, Su Bai has already Completely smash and reshape Cui Luoheng's habits.

In front of the first hurdle, Cui Luoheng kicked his take-off leg to the ground, and his body center of gravity moved forward quickly—the already leaning body tended to be very conducive to attacking the hurdle, and there was almost no obstacle. His swinging leg passed quickly. The hurdle, body vacating, pressing down, followed by the three-step rhythm of taking off, whipping the leg and quickly following the hurdle and then entering the hurdle!

From starting, attacking the first hurdle, to the rhythm of stepping into the hurdle, Cui Luoheng's whole set of movements is like flowing water, perfect and smooth.

And after entering the rhythm of the pen, Cui Luoheng's control over his own rhythm was more clearly displayed.

Da da da, it is his smooth posture of stepping between the hurdles and attacking the hurdles.

And behind him, Lu Mengfan is also going all out, his eyes are also full of desire for victory, even though the front is his teammates, even though there seems to be a speed gap between the two, but his There is no fear in the eyes!

In this short 110 track, speed and pursuit have become the eternal theme of this moment.

Until Cui Luoheng broke through the tenth hurdle first, Lu Mengfan, Xiaosong Xiaoyi, and Sun Youchen also followed closely behind.

On the track, even though Cui Luoheng seems to have firmly occupied the No.1 position, every player on this track has not given up the idea of ​​chasing!

Finally, under everyone's attention, Cui Luoheng, who was in the first place, broke through the finish line of the track first, followed by... Lu Mengfan, also from the Chinese team!
