After quitting sports, I became a chef

In yesterday's preliminaries, the teams that finally advanced to the men's 4x400m final were the 8 teams from the United States, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, Belgium, South Africa, Japan and China, and the members of the 8 teams They all made their debut in the player channel one after another. At this time, the top players of each team are making final preparations before the start of the game on the track.

Compared with the previous day's preliminaries, for the Chinese team's 400-meter relay players, today's final is a bit more difficult than the previous day.

The Chinese team also participated in a total of men's and women's 4x400m sprint relay, and a mixed 4x400m relay for men and women.

其中，除了女子4x400米的接力是进入b组决赛之外,男子4x400与男女混合4x400米的接力，中国队都进入到了决赛组。

而在今晚的赛程安排上,从17点52分女子4x400米b组决赛、18点37分男子4x400米决赛、18点53分男女混合4x400米决赛。

There is no gap between the last two finals that the Chinese team needs to participate in.

In other words, in the men's team, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen, after participating in the men's 4x400m competition, will directly enter the mixed 4x400m final without any rest time in between.

"Tonight's game will undoubtedly be a physical test for Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen. Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen need to run continuously with high intensity in the two consecutive days of competition. 4 shots, and tonight's two shots are uninterrupted continuous high-intensity sprints. Facing such an event arrangement, it is even more necessary to test the athletes' physical reserve, competitive state, and physical distribution between the two games... "

In the live broadcast of the sports channel, Li Sen looked at Zhang Ziyi, who was preparing for the game, with a hint of worry on his face: "Actually, I have also introduced before that in teams like the United States and Jamaica, because their players The ability is strong, so we can equip two sets of lineups in the game, and in different events, we can arrange ab group players to participate according to the demand, so that their players can play a better state in the game.”

"Just like tonight's game, in the final roster submitted by the US team, the 4 men and women mixed 400x4m players have no other tasks to participate in, which ensures that they can play lightly during the game."

In the auditorium, Jiang Wentao, Pei Jin'an, and Su Bai were also discussing this topic.

"Ziyi and the others, the competition tasks on them are still too heavy."

As a member of the national team, when the national team has a task to participate in the competition, Zhang Ziyi and the others will of course take over the tasks assigned by the national team. Although the coaching staff of the national team will try to take into account the different statuses of each player and other factors, Then come to arrange the competition tasks of the players.

However, in competitions such as the World Athletics Relay Competition that are related to the qualifications for important events such as the World Championships and the Tokyo Olympics, of course the selection of players cannot be ignored.

Although the domestic 400-meter event has improved a lot in the past year or so, the candidates who can really carry the relay event in such a competition are already in the relay team.

"Well, there is still not enough talent reserves. If we can form two lineups, the players will be much more relaxed." Jiang Wentao sighed.

Pei Jin'an shook his head instead: "Actually, there are not too many differences between countries. At most, they are better than us in the thickness of the reserve players. But in some key competitions, they still have to send the main players to play so that they can rest assured."

On the side, Su Bai listened to the conversation between Pei Jin'an and Jiang Wentao, but didn't speak. Instead, he went through the data of the domestic 400-meter racers that he had collected before.

At present, the training of the standing members of the team has been on track, so in addition to the current players, the selection and training of potential newcomers also need to start, including the follow-up rookies for men's 400 meters and the selection of talents for women's 400 meters. Su Bai also started to prepare part of these before, but his time is still too busy, so the arrangement of talent selection has not been formally put on the agenda.

Only by fully integrating the entire talent chain and gradually deepening the national team's 400-meter talent reserve, can the national team form a healthy talent chain in the 400-meter event. In the face of any competition, Only then can more leisurely arrangements be made.

In the previous day's preliminaries, the Japanese audience actually received a lot of blows in the game, and it continued in today's game. The Japanese women's team did not get very good results in the finals of Group B before. Many Japanese spectators at the scene found it difficult to accept. At this time, it was finally the turn of the men's 4x400m final.

At this time, the Japanese audience, after being suppressed, released their desire for the Japanese team to win excellent results even more explosively through cheering and shouting.

Of course, there are not only Japanese audiences in the auditorium.

Although there were only a few hundred Chinese spectators who came to the scene, and all of them were scattered among the 7 seats, like drops of water in the vast ocean, they were inconspicuous at all, but these Chinese audiences At this time, the audience was fully invested in cheering for the Chinese team. Compared with the Japanese audience who vented their emotions explosively around them, these audiences from China were no different at all.

In such a frenzied atmosphere, the players on the track have already made their own preparations.

In this final, the Chinese team is located on the sixth track, which can be called the golden track. On the left and right sides of the Chinese team, there are Jamaica on the fifth track and the United States on the seventh track. At this time, they are sandwiched between Jamaica and the United States. Among the great players, Zhang Ziyi was slapping his muscles carefully to make himself more relaxed.

Domestically, in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, many track and field fans turned green after seeing the Jamaican and US teams sandwiched between Zhang Ziyi.

[Foggrass...the fifth way is Jamaica, the seventh way is the United States? ! ! 】

【...Friends, don’t forget Belgium on the eighth track and Trinidad and Tobago on the fourth track. 】

[Fuck, I just realized that this shit is our men's 4x400m relay, the first time to break into the finals of a world-class competition, right?Damn, seeing these opponents makes me feel cold. 】

[Oh wow, really, I didn’t realize until the previous brother mentioned something that this is the first time our men’s 4x400 meters entered the finals of a world-class competition... When I didn’t have our Chinese team before, I looked at this lineup. Impressive, now I see Zhang Shuai on the field, Jamaica's Fraser on the left, and Barnes of the US team on the right... Damn, this experience is amazing! 】

【No, I suddenly feel nervous and have a stomachache...】

It can be said that in the previous day's preliminaries, the domestic audience was happy and excited, and by the way, there was also the topic of Su Bai's non-human brain. It was the first time to enter the finals of a world-class competition.

In other words, even if someone realized it yesterday, many viewers had a hard time reacting to what it means to enter the finals.

Until now, in the live broadcast of the sports channel, when the two commentators Shao Minyi and Li Sen began to introduce the top players of the 8 teams present one by one, these track and field fans who hadn't reacted the day before finally came to their senses. shock.

就以邵敏一正在介绍的各个队伍第一棒选手400米单项pb来说，美国、牙买加、特立尼达和多巴哥、英国等4个国家队的第一棒选手，pb分别是44秒23、44秒51、44秒42和44秒31。

All of them raised their heads in 44 seconds, not to mention Zhang Ziyi's pb 44 seconds 96, more intuitively speaking, these results are all much better than the yellow race's 400-meter record of 44 seconds 78.

Not only the first bat, but the fourth bat of these strong teams, the score is infinitely close to the 44-second mark. What's more, the American and Jamaica teams each have two scores of 43. The top player in the 400-meter event starting in seconds.

【...This is really exciting. 】

On the bullet screen in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, a sentence like this floated slowly. I don’t know if the track and field fan who sent the bullet screen wanted to let more people see his surging inner emotions. , so he also used the tipping function to add colorful glare special effects to this barrage.

All of a sudden, on the public screen in the live broadcast room, everyone watched the phrase 'too exciting' and fell into a long silence.

[In the past, I have never experienced the feeling of our Chinese team playing against such a string of world-class teams. Today's wave of excitement is really too exciting. 】

[Friends, I suddenly remembered that we are fighting against this series of top teams, not only this round, but the next round will be a mixed 4x400...]

[No, I really have a stomachache. Thinking about our team being brutally abused for a while, I can't bear it. 】

Not only the audience in the webcast room, but the audience standing in front of the TV at this time heard a series of comparisons between the 400-meter single-event performance of the athletes and the Chinese team's single-event performance from Shao Minyi and Li Sen. After that, he was also dumbfounded.

The first thought that pops up in many people's minds is - it's over, how does this compare?

In the auditorium, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jin'an were also a little worried about the state of the Chinese team, but Su Bai looked at Zhang Ziyi, who had squatted down at the start and was ready to start, and smiled with satisfaction.

"No matter how strong the opponent is, they always have to learn to face it. Today's arena is not too much pressure for them. As the first battle on the top international stage, it is a good opportunity."

"Stable mentality, physical distribution, tacit cooperation, in today's game, they can try a lot."

Su Bai's words made Jiang Wentao and Pei Jin'an stunned for a moment. Following his words... this match officially kicked off.
