After quitting sports, I became a chef

McKnight was very impressed with the Chinese player 'Qiu'. It's not that he didn't know that Qiu Wen was not as good as many of his opponents in terms of personal performance, but Qiu Wen's running style was completely unpredictable. Boy, it's a real headache.

Athletes like McKnight have almost become instinctive to speed and rhythm. Everyone has their own instinctive rhythm when running 400 meters, especially when they are not in good condition. Running according to the rhythm and inertia of the body, at this time, a player like Qiu Wen came out in front, rushed for a while at the beginning, and then played cards quickly and slowly without following the rules.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

When McKnight saw Qiu Wen's name, almost at the same time he recalled the fear of following Qiu Wen and being ruled by Qiu Wen's chaotic rhythm.

At the beginning of 3 p.m., the team of the national team had already arrived at the scene ahead of time. Apart from Su Bai and the other coaches, Qiu Wen, Zhang Ziyi, Li Junhao and others naturally went directly to the backcourt lounge after the inspection. When the time comes, go to the warm-up venue to warm up and wait to play.

For the Chinese team, there are four key events today, namely the men's 4-meter group preliminaries, the men's 400-meter semi-finals, and the men's and women's 100-kilometer race walking finals.

Among them, the last men's and women's 50-kilometer race walk is considered to be the dominant event of the Chinese team. The Chinese team is full of participants in both categories. However, the race walking event takes a long time and is not enjoyable to watch. Not many people really pay attention to it. .

It’s past 8:400 p.m. domestic time, and someone on the Athletics Kingdom Forum has already posted the evening men’s [-]-meter preliminaries grouping form to the forum. Immediately, track and field fans gathered together and began to analyze the night’s preliminaries. Come.

And just like when they saw Qiu Wen's group for the first time, many track and field fans couldn't help sending a string of "hahaha" after seeing McKnight's name.

In fact, McKnight is the foreign player who has played the most matches with Qiu Wen. This player, whose pb is 44 seconds, makes Zhang Ziyi unable to catch up, but he stumbles every time in front of Qiu Wen. A sense of fate in metaphysics.

There are actually many such examples in the sports world, but most of them are table tennis, tennis and other sports. Because of their own technical characteristics, the players have a strong restraint effect on a certain player, and then they are called a certain killer. title.

As for Qiu Wen...

If you really want to say it, is he an 'indiscriminate killing'?

[Hahahahaha, no, give Mike Knight a piece of wax, he is in the eighth lane, chasing Xiaoqiu perfectly, come on Xiaoqiu Xiaoqiu, brother call you! 】

Of course, some people are hahaha, and some people think that it will be so hahaha earlier. If Qiu Wen loses to McKnight later, wouldn’t it hurt to be slapped in the face?

So they dissuaded everyone one after another, asking everyone to leave a little room for their own faces, and not to speak so full in advance.

At this time, it was clear that they were discussing the preliminaries of the men's 400m event very seriously and nervously, but after the topic was put on Qiu Wen, he couldn't help but ran in a strange direction.

However, looking at the group list, some people also voiced doubts——

[Didn't it mean that the full quota for a single event is 3 people?Why do I see 4 players from Team USA? ? ?Am I dazzled... I counted back and forth 10 times! 】

……

As soon as this question comes out, it can be seen that he is a new track and field enthusiast, but this is indeed a very poignant topic. Immediately, a track and field fan came out to answer the question with tears of envy: [emmm, actually, you can Take a look, not only the list of men's 400 meters, how many American players are there in the men's 100 meters group match yesterday? 】

……

?

Then someone else jumped out.

[Not only yesterday's men's 100-meter preliminaries, but you can take a look at today's women's 100-meter preliminaries, and then you can also see the women's 400-meter sprint, men's and women's 800-meter preliminaries...]

?

???

The track and field buddy who raised the question first showed a bewildered expression—what's going on?Is the US team cheating on the strength of its own team?

This question really confuses Mengxin, but soon someone sent an answer.

Although the upper limit of the number of participants for each country in a single event is 3, the champions of the last World Championships and the 18th Diamond League champion can all get a "wild card" for the World Championships. This wild card quota does not occupy the original participation of each country. amount.

After reading this rule, Mengxin took a deep breath—the US team is terrifying!

Although it seems exaggerated, this is indeed a fact. The strength of the US team in track and field events, especially in sprint events, can indeed be said to be beyond doubt.

After chatting for a while, some people were also feeling: [Hey, it would be great if our country's sprinting can reach this level! 】

Indeed, who does not look forward to such a bright future?

Of course, the current reality is that first of all, we must pray for Xiaoqiu and others in the men's 400-meter event that they will not be wiped out in the preliminaries.

With such expectations in mind, everyone waited patiently for the start of the game.

Soon, the local time in Qatar came to 6:05, and the preliminaries of the men's 400-meter sprint event were about to begin—the first group to appear was the first group of the preliminaries.

In the auditorium, Pei Jin'an and others who had been waiting for a long time sat upright at this moment—the wait was finally here!

"These guys, don't be nervous!" Pei Jinan stared at Qiu Wen who had already appeared on the stage, thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, the main thing is that Ahao and Ziyi don't be nervous, Xiaoqiu ... I don't think there is a string of tension in his head."

As soon as Pei Jinan said this, Jiang Wentao laughed: "Don't, I watch Xiaoqiu fight very hard in the competition, we don't want to make jokes about the character of the players."

Several people were talking and laughing, but they were actually praising Qiu Wen for his good attitude, otherwise they wouldn't be able to look at Qiu Wen's first preliminaries so relaxedly.

At the scene and on the track, Qiu Wen was indeed as Pei Jinan said, not nervous, but very excited - after he arrived at the Doha Stadium in the afternoon, he even made a video call with his grandpa to give his grandpa Glancing at the backcourt lounge at the World Championships, then bragging to his grandpa, 'Watch me play later'.

Before last year, he was still a player in the provincial team. At that time, he was excited with his grandfather when he watched Fang Yu breaking ten in the [-] meters. How could he have imagined that he would go to the World Championships with Fang Yu this year?

During the video call, Fang Yu was also in the waiting room. Qiu Wen also agreed with Fang Yu in advance to let his grandfather come to see the idol together. The old man had been the sprint coach of the provincial track and field team at the beginning. Very fond of.

The first call was after the video call ended, and Mr. Qiu was still educating his grandson on the other end of the video: "Okay, okay, the competition is about to start, warm up and get ready, and run well in a while!"

Now Qiu Wen was standing on the track, thinking that his grandfather was also watching the game on TV, so when the camera on the scene caught up with him, he waved his hand in the direction of the camera with a grin, and then He also asked loudly: Grandpa, grandpa, have you seen me?

……

…………

Fortunately, the camera on the scene did not stop, and no one heard Qiu Wen's stupid greeting.

At the left rear of Qiu Wen's ninth track, McKnight on the eighth track felt very aggrieved-it's fine to race with this Chinese Qiu, why is he still facing the storm on the eighth track?

When he was warming up just now, Qiu Wen ran up to him and said hello to him very enthusiastically. Because he had played in the same game many times before, Qiu Wen saw him very familiar. He could barely say hello and withdraw, McKnight looked at this guy very helplessly.

Among the players in the same group, there are also friends familiar to McKnight, such as Jonathan from the British team. This guy is on the seventh track. Apart from McKnight, he is the closest to Qiu Wen.

McKnight introduced him: "This Chinese player is very destructive on the 400-meter track."

?

Jonathan doesn't understand, mainly because the 400-meter runners know that the Chinese team's 400-meter event is really bad, even if the Chinese team won the fourth place in the world in the previous 4x400-meter relay race, but some of them There are some unexpected elements, and it is a relay race, which is different from the 400-meter sprint.

You know, the Japanese team has also won medals in the World Championships and the Olympics in the 4x100-meter relay, but does this mean that the Japanese team players have the ability to win medals in the men's 100-meter individual event?

No, in the men's 100-meter sprint single event of the Japanese team, no one has even broken the [-]-meter mark of [-] seconds.

Seeing Jonathan's expression of "Are you okay", McKnight knew that his friend didn't listen to his words, so he didn't say anything more.

At this moment, seeing that the race was about to start, McKnight had no choice but to close his eyes, focus all his attention on the track, and keep reminding himself in his heart: don't be fooled by Qiu's rhythm.

In the first group of preliminaries at this moment, except for McKnight and Roger, no one is prepared for Qiu Wen's destructive power, but Roger is luckier than McKnight, he is on the second track, It is the track farthest from Qiu Wen - it is really blessed by God.

So, just as Qiu Wen also calmed down, put all his attention on the track, and waited quietly for the upcoming race, the audience, the Chinese audience in front of the TV, the commentator Shao Min and Li Sen of the sports channel... ...Everyone also began to hold their breath, waiting for the start of this preliminaries and Qiu Wen's performance.

"Everyone take their places."

"preparation."

"boom!"

After the starting gun was fired, every competitor on the track was like a beast charged with electricity, roaring silently and starting to sprint forward——stepping off the starting block, bursting with strength, stepping on the ground quickly and rushing forward!

This state is healthy and powerful, and every player is concentrating on sprinting. Their keen sense of rhythm allows them to rely on the speed and state of the players in front of them, as well as their understanding of their own rhythm inertia, to quickly judge the rhythm of the players around them. At the same time, he can also control his own rhythm and speed, and allocate his physical energy as perfectly as possible...

Oh, that's how it should have been.

But there is a bug on the track today.

After seeing Qiu Wen's starting start, and then seeing him sprint after turning the corner and turning straight, the commentator of Cartel's country exclaimed: "omg, what did I see? This is a 400-meter sprint race, Rather than the 200-meter sprint race? With such a sprint speed, doesn’t this Chinese player want to run the second half of the race?”

And domestic audiences are no strangers to Qiu Wen's rhythm. Seeing Qiu Wen's running style, their thoughts are: okay, Erha, who let go of the dog leash, is having fun again.

In fact, McKnight has already made his own preparations, but he is the closest to Qiu Wen, and there is only Qiu Wen in front of him as a reference opponent. Even if he has controlled his rhythm as much as possible in his heart, he will inevitably be defeated by Qiu Wen The text is biased.

In the back, Jonathan of the British team was at a loss—who is he, where is he, and what is he doing?

Is this the 400 meter dash?

Really not 200 meters or 100 meters?

Those who have this question are not only Jonathan, but also the other players behind, but the most affected are indeed McKnight and Jonathan. The impact on the players after them can be regarded as decreasing track by track.

But even so, the radiating range of Qiu Wen's rhythm has basically covered half of the track.

It can be said that there are indeed strong players on the field. Although they were driven off by Qiu Wen's sense of rhythm, they still tried their best to control themselves. The rhythm was stopped, but under such circumstances, their performance was indeed not as good as before.

Moreover, because today is only the preliminaries, they didn't try their best to run at the beginning, and they restrained their rhythm, but in the end they were forced to be unable to restrain themselves at all. After going all out, their speed was still slower than what they should have achieved a lot.

In this chaotic game, there were still players who withstood Qiu Wen's chaotic rhythm, and finally got rid of the rhythmic suffocation after rushing to the front of Qiu Wen.

And Qiu Wen also relied on this rhythm that all the opponents in the same field did not expect, and ran out of the third place abruptly.

……

…………

?

Wait, third?

In the auditorium, Pei Jin'an and the others were dumbfounded.

"... 400 meters is ranked directly to advance to which number?"

Su Bai looked at the two people beside him, smiled, and replied, "It's the top three."
