After quitting sports, I became a chef

At the same time, it was 7:20 p.m. in Doha. The semi-finals of the 110-meter hurdles came as scheduled. Lu Mengfan, who was in the first group of the semi-finals, took the lead.

As usual, there are only 110 groups in the semi-finals of the 3-meter hurdles. The only difference is that there are 110 people who are qualified to advance to the 3-meter hurdles, and the top three of the remaining players are selected.

And in the evening semi-final group, Cui Luoheng's group was not like the demon king's melee in the preliminaries. If you just look at the list of players, Cui Luoheng's semi-final group has some hope of advancing.

In comparison, Lu Mengfan, who also advanced to the semi-finals, was not so lucky. Lu Mengfan's group included not only Vladimir, but also French star Cesc Fabregas and Barbados star Aubrey. And Team USA's Jagger.

Surrounded by these powerful opponents, Lu Mengfan looked more and more precarious.

On the track, all the contestants from the first group of semi-final preliminaries have already appeared on the stage, and the 8 contestants from the first group of semi-finals have all been in place, waiting to compete for a qualification to advance to the final.

Lu Mengfan is also among them. He is squatting on the starting block, adjusting the starting block to the most suitable angle, and then leaning down on the ground, trying to start on this track to find his best condition.

Beside him, the remaining 7 contestants are stretching or relaxing their limbs. Facing the last threshold before the final, all contestants will not be as relaxed as in the preliminaries.

"Friends from the audience, the live broadcast is the first group match of the 110m hurdles semi-finals of the Doha World Championships. We can see that the starting position, the players are ready, and the tense semi-finals will start at any time! "

As usual, Shao Minyi and Li Sen are explaining the current preparations for the competition.

"In tonight's semi-finals, the opponent Lu Mengfan has to face is quite strong, but I still hope that he can calm down, show his best state as much as possible, and show his strength and demeanor!"

Although the halo over Lu Mengfan's head seemed to have been weakened since Cui Luoheng appeared, but Lu Mengfan's mentality has been maintained very well, and he has not fallen into depression just because Cui Luoheng replaced him.

For more than a year, Lu Mengfan's grades have also been steadily improving, but it is similar to what Cui Luoheng encountered before. It's hard to be amazed at 13. Now, Lu Mengfan's slight improvement makes it easy for track and field fans to ignore him.

And it will cause such a result, most of which are also due to the interlacing of the former hurdle king era and the later talent fault era, which makes domestic track and field fans often fall into confusion when they are sensitive to the performance of the 110-meter hurdles. middle.

On the field, Lu Mengfan has already focused his attention on the front, results, and promotion. He doesn't think too much about these things now. What he pays more attention to is that in today's competition, he can compete on the track in front of him. What kind of results did you run.

When the focus of the on-site camera converges on the starting point, the race is about to start. The 8 runners on the track are squatting on the starting block, leaning down with their hands on the ground, and their eyes only stay in the narrow sight distance in front of their eyes.

"Everyone take their places."

"preparation."

"boom."

The simple and familiar starting sound and gunshots followed by them stepping on the starting block vigorously and shooting out like arrows on this track!

Lu Mengfan was on the eighth track in this race. His start today was very good. In the stage of starting and connecting, his speed was even ranked in the top two among the 8 players in the group. From the quick start to the connecting In the first column, Lu Mengfan showed a ferocious spirit that he had never shown before.

But it is a pity that his brave spirit could not be maintained for a long time. It can be seen that when attacking the first three hurdles, he not only continued his original speed, but also improved on the original speed. Going further, but when he reached the fourth hurdle, he accidentally hit the hurdle during the attack, which made his speed suddenly frustrated, and Aubrey on the seventh track beside him was also on the fifth hurdle. Accidentally hit the hurdle, and at the same time, the shaking of the hurdle caused by his hitting the hurdle also affected Lu Mengfan on the eighth lane.

Because of his own mistake in the fourth column and coincidentally encountered a serious mistake by Aubrey, Lu Mengfan's ferocious offensive in the first three columns suffered more and more serious setbacks.

At the seventh hurdle, Lu Mengfan, who was still in the top three at the start, had already dropped to sixth place.

Although Lu Mengfan on the track did not give up due to mistakes and the influence of Aubrey, his original back-end ability was not strong enough. At this stage, through the live broadcast, it can be seen with the naked eye that he fought very bravely, but This couldn't allow him to regain his initial advantage.

When he finally passed the finish line, Lu Mengfan could barely catch up to the fifth place, but the time of 13 seconds and the No.58 ranking basically announced the death penalty for his promotion.

"...It's a pity." Shao Min looked at Lu Mengfan, who was showing a dark complexion of annoyance after crossing the finish line, and also had some regrets on his face: "Xiao Lu's start and connection state is very good today, but He was a little bit lacking in consistency on the hurdle, which gave him a slight miss on the fourth hurdle."

"Aubrey's heavy hit on the fifth hurdle was the part that completely disrupted the rhythm of the trail."

Shao Minyi and Li Sen's review of the game quickly restored the important points of Lu Mengfan's game, but the final result has already been formed, and they can only watch Lu Mengfan's performance in this game. The road to the World Championships stops here.

When Lu Mengfan left the field, the look on his face was obviously regretful. Before today's semi-finals, he couldn't say that he had no ambitions in his heart. During this period of time, his state has adjusted well. Originally, he was looking forward to I was able to hit my own pb in today's semi-finals, but unfortunately things backfired, and I only got a result of 13 seconds in the end.

When Lu Mengfan left the field, the second group of semi-finalists that Cui Luoheng belonged to also appeared on the stage. When the two groups of contestants crossed, Lu Mengfan happened to see Cui Luoheng approaching him. He clenched his fist and waved in Cui Luoheng's direction. He made a cheering gesture.

In the first group of semi-finals just now, Cui Luoheng also saw at the entrance channel that Aubrey's serious hitting on the fifth hurdle was the real reason why Lu Mengfan's rhythm was completely disrupted.

For the players on the field, whether the players around them will play hurdles, and whether playing hurdles will affect them, these are unpredictable factors.

For some reason, Cui Luoheng, who hadn't had any real fear of the track for a long time, stood in front of the track at this moment, and suddenly remembered the boredom of being stagnant on the track.

This feeling only appeared for a moment, and Cui Luoheng quickly suppressed this emotion, but he also clearly realized that it was Aubrey's hurdle in the first game just now, which not only had an impact on Lu Mengfan , It also made him feel a little uncomfortable psychologically.

No one can tell which picture or scene will affect the athlete's mental state before the competition. Cui Luoheng originally thought that with Su Bai's help and adjustments over the past year, his The mentality of the competition should have been very stable, but just before playing today, he could still feel his vigorous fighting spirit, but at this moment, he could clearly feel his resistance to the interruption of the rhythm of the game .

When he realized this, Cui Luoheng was already on the starting line. He still kept calm and adjusted his starting block, while trying to relax himself as much as possible. He adjusted his breathing rhythm according to the way Su Bai had taught him. , to reduce one's perception of the surroundings as much as possible, and shrink one's perception ability only to oneself.

only……

In such a sudden state today, he is completely uncertain whether this method is still effective...

At this time, all the players have already made preparations before the start of the match, and it is only three or two minutes before the official start of the match. Cui Luoheng never expected that he would be in the semi-finals of the World Championships without warning. encountered such a problem.

The camera lens at the scene was scanning the faces of the athletes one by one. When the camera scanned Cui Luoheng, he could only be seen frowning, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem. Besides, his face was still similar to his usual indifferent state look.

In the auditorium, Su Bai, who was only looking at the direction of the track seriously, suddenly frowned. He looked in the direction of Cui Luoheng, and his eyes showed a rare dignified look.

coming.

Su Bai sighed slightly in his heart, and frowned even tighter.

In fact, Cui Luoheng used to say that his mental quality was not good. The reason why Su Bai was willing to believe it was also because the problems that troubled Cui Luoheng had not been completely resolved at the beginning.

Although Cui Luoheng's keen perception of his own rhythm and the rhythm brought by the surrounding players has been suppressed through a special breathing control method, for Cui Luoheng, this is only the first stage of adjustment.

This adjustment reduced Cui Luoheng's original sensitivity to his own rhythm and external appearance to the minimum, and used it on himself. This is a pretty good state of control, but it is impossible for Cui Luoheng to maintain such control over himself all the time.

Athletes have a high degree of control over their bodies in the arena, but they also have a high-intensity release of their own state. When they come to a bigger arena, athletes will release their emotions and states stronger.

If you continue to persistently control your own perception range, it will only conflict with the current competitive state.

What Cui Luoheng really needs to do is not to continue to try to control his perception, but to strengthen his rhythm so that he can maintain his state even if he is aware of the rhythm of the players around him.

This challenge was not easy for Cui Luoheng. Su Bai knew that Cui Luoheng would always have to face this day, but he never expected that this day would come in the semi-finals of the World Championships...
