After quitting sports, I became a chef

In the past two years in Japan, a large number of outstanding men's 400-meter sprinters have emerged, including the mixed-race athlete Akiyama Sora, the veteran star player Yota Aso and the rookie player Shiraishi Tsurujo. In addition, the Japanese relay team originally has a unique ability in passing and receiving the baton. Thanks to his experience, the performance of the Japanese men's 4x400m relay team has also risen steadily.

However, since last year, the strength of the Chinese team in the men's 400-meter event has improved by leaps and bounds, directly seizing the position of the Japanese track and field team in the 400-meter event. Frustrated before.

It is precisely because of this series of reasons that Ryunosuke Arakawa bit the Chinese team this time, and took the existence of the Chinese team as a goal to motivate the Japanese relay team to catch up.

Although the Japanese team and the Chinese team are not in the same group in the first group of preliminaries, Ryunosuke Arakawa obviously wants to rely on his familiarity with the Japanese team to win back this time in the pre-judgment.

Su Bai didn't mind this, after all he had already understood Ryunosuke Arakawa's thoughts before coming to the recording site.

At the moment at the Yokohama Stadium, the enthusiasm of the Japanese audience in the auditorium has reached its peak. Although the players of each team on the track are only adjusting the starting block or doing a simple test run, the enthusiastic cheers from the audience can be said to be It is unabated for a moment.

It can also be seen from the reactions of the on-site players that Japan's No. [-] player Akiyama Sora is also very excited at this time. He waved his hands to the audience, responding to the wholehearted support from the audience.

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were both a little moved by the enthusiastic participation of the Japanese audience: "Although we are only watching the live broadcast through the screen, we can see from the voices coming from the scene, The Japanese audience is indeed very concerned about this relay race."

"Yes, especially, I think the audience should have also understood that in this competition, the head coach of the Japanese team's 400-meter event, Ryunosuke Arakawa, set off a wave called 'Battle of Revenge'. The wave of public opinion has aroused the national pride of the Japanese audience. We can hear how strong the cheers and enthusiasm of the audience are. In this atmosphere, the encouragement to the Japanese players is very great. "

"That's right." Shao Minyi followed Li Sen's words and affirmed: "But the encouragement of the audience must not only bring motivation, but also the corresponding pressure. If the Japanese team can't withstand this pressure, then In the next games, facing such a heavy pressure, it may not be too good to wait for their results."

Shao Minyi and Li Sen discussed the Japanese team in a rational and restrained manner. After talking about the pressure, the two tacitly changed the topic and began to introduce all the participating teams in this game. .

相较于女子4x400米的预赛队伍数量来说，男子4x400米的预赛队伍数量要略少一些，只有18支。

These 18 teams are also divided into 3 preliminaries. In the first group of the preliminaries to which the Japanese team belongs, in addition to the Japanese team, there are 5 teams including Germany, Belgium, France, Colombia, and India.

In the first group of the preliminaries, the strength of the Belgian team is the most. This is a team that can run within 1 minutes and 2 seconds. Except for the Belgian team, the strength of the other teams is relatively balanced. For the Japanese team Speaking, their biggest opponent in this game is probably the French team.

Generally speaking, judging from the past results of the Japanese team, if they can show their strength 100%, then there is still hope that they can win the direct promotion spot.

On the field, the first group of the preliminaries to which the Japanese team belongs is about to start.

And in the backcourt of the stadium, in the player lounge of the Chinese team, the masseuses accompanying the team are massaging the girls of the women's team to adjust their bodies. Energy drinks to supplement their physical strength were delivered to them.

“好好休息，现在是6点35，你们最多可以有1小时20分钟的休息时间，然后重新热身，准备8点22的男女混合4x400米的预赛。”

"OK, no problem."

After the girls of the women's team left the field, the assistant coach who was waiting in the backcourt to help at any time was a little nervous. Of course, the girls of the women's team performed very well in this game, but it was also because they were too desperate. The physical fitness has been consumed a lot in the game just now, which may be slightly unfavorable for the mixed 4x400-meter race later on.

However, the assistant coach didn't say much at the moment. During the interval of the game, any word may affect the player's own competitive state and emotions. The best thing to do is to keep your mouth shut.

In the waiting room, Chen Yadan and Lin Yao are both runners who will participate in the mixed 4x400 meters later. They both stopped talking at this time, but directly closed their eyes when the masseur in the team was giving them a massage to soothe them. Take the time to rest.

For athletes, one of the best ways to recover from a lack of energy is sleep.

They need to take a short sleep during this short period of 1 hour and 20 minutes, and recover their physical fitness as quickly as possible.

Soon, Meng Qiujie and Lin Huan came out of the lounge first, leaving the lounge to Chen Yadan and Lin Yao.

And when the two of them walked out of the waiting room, they heard a burst of almost boiling cheers coming from the direction of the arena. Even at a rather long distance, one could feel the excitement in the cheering and boiling sound .

Meng Qiujie and Lin Huan looked at each other.

"Is the first group of men's preliminaries over?" Meng Qiujie asked.

Lin Huan turned his head to glance at the clock hanging on the wall in the corridor, and nodded: "Look at the time, it should be over."

"This voice is so excited... It seems that the Japanese men's team has advanced to the final?"

Just as Meng Qiujie and Lin Huan guessed, the cheers just now really came from the victory of the Japanese men's 4x400m relay team, and the reason why the cheers were so intense was that in the match just now, The Japanese men's team not only directly advanced to the final, but also directly advanced to the final with the first place in the group.

The Japanese team not only overwhelmed the French team, but also overwhelmed the strong team Belgium, and won the first place in the first group of the preliminaries.

This kind of performance made the audience instantly forget the defeat of the Japanese women's team not long ago, and the entire Yokohama Stadium, which accommodated 7 people, fell into a sea of ​​boiling joy.

In the athlete channel, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen, Guo Dun and Li Junhao are waiting for the staff to guide them on the field. Compared with the excitement of the audience, their state is extraordinarily calm, and it seems that it is not because of the Japanese team's nervous about performance.

While waiting quietly, Zhang Ziyi and the others also saw the final results of the Japanese team on the wall-mounted TV in the corridor.

3 minutes 02 seconds 63.

The No.2 Belgian team behind the Japanese team scored 3:03.

The time difference between the two teams was more than 1 second. Except for the Belgian team, the French team only ran to 3:04.

For these two teams, this result is definitely not ideal.

"Ah, sure enough..." Qiu Wen scratched his head after seeing the results: "I just saw the Japanese team win the championship, but I always feel that they don't seem to run very fast."

For athletes, the sensitivity to time is already in their bones. Even if they just watch the video, they can basically perceive the approximate speed state.

"Yes." Zhang Ziyi nodded with a smile, and said, "The audience's support for the Japanese team will still have a certain impact on teams from other countries. After all, this is the home game advantage of the Japanese team."

During the competition just now, they were all watching the live broadcast on the wall-mounted TV in the corridor, and what they heard in their ears were all the enthusiastic cheers from the scene. This kind of cheers could not help the players on the field. Influence, especially the cheers on the scene are obviously closer to the rhythm of the Japanese team players. This kind of cheering sound is likely to directly affect the emotions of the players of other teams on the track, thus disrupting their rhythm.

The Japanese team's own strength, the fanatical atmosphere at the scene, and the familiarity with the track during the home game, the Japanese team's victory is the so-called right time, place and people.

"Okay, don't think too much." Zhang Ziyi turned his head and glanced at his teammates, then pointed in the direction of the field: "It's our turn to play!"

In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV, Hiroshi Uchimura had just excitedly praised the performance of the Japanese team. Although the previous preliminaries were very exciting, for Hiroshi Uchimura, of course, the victory of the domestic players was even more exciting.

After excitedly praising the performance of the Japanese team players, Uchimura Hiroshi also saw the Chinese team players on the field: "Oh, the teams from the second group of the preliminaries are on stage now, including the Chinese team under coach Su Bai." Men's 4x400m relay team!"

At the scene, most of the audience was still immersed in the excitement of the Japanese team's promotion to the first place in the group. However, when the team list was introduced, the Japanese audience on the scene gave a polite welcome applause in time.

In China, Shao Minyi and Li Sen both laughed after hearing the applause feedback from the scene: "This is not a team from their own country, and the reaction from a team from their own country is indeed very different!"

The two laughed and teased, and looked at the Chinese team players at the scene together.

"Speaking of which, Lao Shao, do you feel that the members of our 4x400m relay team are becoming more mature and calm now?"

From the live broadcast, it can be seen that Zhang Ziyi, the first player, has adjusted his starting block. At this time, he is standing behind the starting block, turning his neck slightly, waiting for the start of the live competition.

"The style of a famous general has just come into being!"

In the auditorium, Jiang Wentao didn't know that he and Shao Minyi in the live broadcast said the same sentence at this moment. He just looked at Zhang Ziyi on the field and looked back, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Back in time a year ago, although Zhang Ziyi was also No.400 in the Chinese men's 1-meter sprint event, compared with now, Zhang Ziyi lacked more than a little bit of calmness and self-confidence?

Now this young man on the field can give people the power of trust just by standing. He has sharpened his own edges and corners, and gradually has a shining brilliance.

"Isn't it the beginning of the tempering of one game after another?" Pei Jin'an was on the sidelines, looking in the direction of the track: "It's just the first World Championship, and there will be more in the future." Let's watch the match!"

At the same time that Pei Jinan's voice fell, the voice of the starter on the radio also sounded at the scene.

This group of men's 4x400m sprint relay competition will officially start!
