Let's be a world champion first! [sports]

"Hey, track and field grand prix? You little guy, you have a wild way!"

When Wei Chun heard Su Qian's question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized it—yes, it's already mid-April, the outdoor season has already started, and there are few youth competitions such as U4 (under18) with age restrictions. , but there is still the Grand Prix!

The two months of April and May are the time for the National Athletics Grand Prix. As long as Su Qian can get an official result within 4 seconds in the Grand Prix, he will at least reach the World Junior Championships. The standard line, the conditions they talked about restricting Su Qian and preventing him from being selected no longer exist.

Su Qian didn't understand why Wei Chun said that he was wild. He just paid attention to domestic track and field competitions all the year round. When he heard the coach discussing the reason why he couldn't participate, he instinctively thought of the various awards that would definitely be held in China in April and May. Race points.

Wang Liang glanced at Su Qian, his face was a bit gloomy, and he asked, "Do you really want to participate in the World Junior Competition?"

Wei Chun, who was on the side, heard Wang Liang's question. His reason was that Su Qian would hesitate. After all, when Yang Xiulei stuffed Su Qian in, he never expected that Su Qian, who had never done sprint training before, would be selected to participate in the World Cup. less game.

Wei Chun never thought that Su Qian, a child who had never participated in a formal competition, could withstand the pressure and shoulder the task of participating in the World Junior Championships.

but.

Su Qian answered without any hesitation, he said, "Yes!"

Wang Liang still looked at Su Qian with a look of disbelief: "The World Junior Championships has the world's top young sprinters. Not to mention, this year there is the same Asian player, Clark from Singapore. The national team found out here According to the news, this Clark, the current best time in training has reached 10 seconds, which is a time that is not lost to adult players at all, let alone young talents from other countries."

"Facing such an opponent, aren't you afraid?"

Su Qian was a little puzzled: "Why are you afraid?"

However, amidst the doubts, another thought in his mind was—Clark has actually been able to break through to 10 seconds in reality?

Unfortunately, his current best time is only 10 seconds, and there is a gap of 73 seconds between him and Clark.

Thinking of this, Su Qian froze for a moment, but he soon regained his composure.

Huh, isn't it just 10 seconds 43?

When he was in the dream, he reached 10 seconds one step ahead of Clark!

Although in reality his grades are so much worse than Clark's, they haven't yet reached the golden stage of performance explosion, and when they enter the explosion period of performance, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!

During the conversation with Su Qian, Wang Liang deliberately made himself seem unreasonable, thus creating psychological pressure on Su Qian—this is what happened just now.

Su Qian's unafraid aura of a newborn calf, and his idea of ​​participating in the grand prix to win the main race results, made Wang Liang's heart move slightly, and he admired Su Qian a little bit.

At least in terms of enthusiasm and dedication to the competition, Su Qian's performance made him secretly compare the difference between Su Qian and You Yun in his heart.

If You Yun back then had Su Qian's fearless courage, he wouldn't have collapsed just because of the pressure of the competition.

Thinking of You Yun, Wang Liang's originally better mood fell into a trough again.

Glancing at Su Qian, Wang Liang didn't say much, he just said: "Training first, as for whether you have a chance to qualify for the World Junior Championships, we'll wait until you really get the results in the Grand Prix!"

The conversation between the two ended here, but Wei Chun at the side looked at Wang Liang's appearance. His old partner for many years made it easy for him to see through Wang Liang's sharp mouth and tofu heart.

After Su Qian was carried away by several companions including Xu Zhanjun and Shao Ming, Wei Chun asked with a smile, "How is it? I think Su Qian is really a pretty good kid."

Wang Liang snorted: "I still think he is a young coach. If he wants to participate in the competition, then let's get the official results of the Grand Prix first!"

Wei Chun laughed again when he heard this: "What's the matter? If he can really get the standard result in the Grand Prix, you are willing to directly recommend him a place?"

Wang Liang said with a straight face: "There are only test results, and I haven't actually been on the track... It's not so easy to get results in the track and field grand prix. Let's talk about it when he really has results!"

Wei Chun did not refute Wang Liang's words.

Although the National Athletics Grand Prix in China is an event that has no threshold and anyone who is a registered athlete can sign up for it, compared to Su Qian, this competition is actually not easy.

Due to the generally weak level of domestic sprint competition, most of the domestic local team members can participate in the grand prix race, so the number of sprint applicants for each grand prix race is very large.

Basically, for a grand prix, the number of applicants for the men's 60 meters in the preliminary stage can reach [-], NO.[-].

The point is, these guys are all adult players.

Adult players are not comparable to young players in terms of strength, explosive power and other physical fitness. If nothing else, these adult players who have not achieved good results in China, when they participate in the grand prix competition, they are in the preliminaries. , even if they didn't try their best, half of them could run within 11 seconds.

There are already six NO.70 people.

Among the six No. 70 players, no matter how hard they work, the players with a score of less than 10 seconds and 80 can account for half of them.

Su Qian's time of 10 seconds in today's test is indeed very impressive among young players, but when it comes to adult players, it is just a result that is not popular in China.

Of course, Su Qian's goal is only to get a World Junior Championship qualifying result of 10 seconds or less in the Grand Prix.

However, formal competitions are by no means comparable to daily training.

There are many players who have stable performance during training, but once they actually enter the competition field, they will perform abnormally due to various reasons such as nervousness.

What's more, Su Qian, who had no previous experience in participating in the competition, directly made a bold statement that he would win the World Junior Championship in the cross-age grand prix.

A player with no experience in competitions, facing a group of adult players who are taller and stronger than him, and with a high probability of being stronger than him, can he really show his normal strength in the end?

You should know that the reason why "participation experience" is also used as one of the criteria to measure a player's performance level is because players with enough experience in competitions and official competition results can perform more confidently and stably in competitions.

This kind of quality can also make the athlete's team feel at ease about the decision to send the athlete to the competition.

From Su Qian's point of view, he has indeed shown excellent qualities in training and testing.

However, as long as you haven't been on the field, all this is still false.

Only if Su Qian can also show such outstanding qualities on the field, can he really enter the waiting list for the World Junior Championships.

As for whether Su Qian can do it?

Wei Chun is not sure either.

I hope—if Su Qian can really run under 10 seconds in the face of a group of adult opponents, then he thinks that he should also reserve his recommended spot for Su Qian .

On the first day of the training camp, the morning task for the young players was physical testing. Before the physical testing data was officially sorted out, the afternoon was just some simple routine training.

After the physical examination in the morning, Shao Ming and the others listened to the conversation between Su Qian and Wang Liang with horror on their faces. After finally waiting for the conversation to end, they quickly dragged Su Qian away together.

After walking away, Xu Zhanjun looked at Su Qian in surprise.

"Xiao Qian, you don't really want to participate in the Grand Prix, do you?!"

"Ah?" Su Qian was stunned by the question, and then quickly nodded: "Yes, I have read this year's domestic competition schedule for the whole year, and I can sign up for domestic competitions in April and May. The competition is only the grand prix race, right?"

Shao Ming was impatient, he scratched his head and scratched his head when he saw that Su Qian didn't understand what Xu Zhanjun meant.

"Xu Zhanjun didn't mean that. He meant that the Grand Prix is ​​an adult competition! Do you understand the adult competition?"

"I know?" Su Qian was also a little puzzled: "But don't I just need to get the standard score in the Grand Prix?"

Shao Ming felt that Su Qian probably couldn't understand the nervousness of people like himself, so he sighed a long sigh: "Su Xiaoqian, you must know that the strength of the players in the adult group is far from ours. During the competition, the aura is completely different. Don’t think that the aura is not important during the competition. Sometimes other people’s aura is too strong, and you will be weak. At that time, you may lose your position and you will not be able to run. achievements."

"Comparing with players who are too strong is terrifying! And the players you will face in the same group will most likely be stronger than you!"

Su Qian scratched his head, and finally understood what the friends around him meant, but he thought about it for a while, and soon smiled expectantly: "But, what's the point of competing against an opponent who is too weak?"

In the past, in the dream, Su Qian had only Clark as his opponent. Although Clark was also very strong, the two of them were too familiar with each other's speed, rhythm and even the explosive point since they were young.

In the end, Su Qian sometimes couldn't get up, so that he was taught by his coach for a long time.

At that time, he thought that he could only compete against Clark in his dream, and it really didn't make much sense.

In the latest test in a dream, the reason why he was able to reach the time of 10 seconds was because he finally realized that Clark was not just an opponent in a dream.

He was able to run in reality, and even in reality, he had a chance to catch up to...defeat Clark!

As long as he thinks of these, he feels very excited.

Now that I have arrived at the training camp, I have another chance to participate in the World Junior Championships.

Then how could he not seize the opportunity firmly and directly kill Clark all the way?

Uh-huh, he has already thought about how to take revenge on Clark, as long as he thinks of being able to appear in front of Clark and give Clark a huge blow to revenge for the 'numerous crimes', he will be full of joyful motivation.

and.

It's not all about that either.

As long as Su Qian thinks that he will officially set foot on the track in reality to compete with those opponents who are much stronger than himself, he will start to feel itchy, and he can't help but want to compete immediately!

Su Qian was looking forward to the upcoming grand prix competition, but Xu Zhanjun, Shao Ming and Li Kai beside him were shocked by Su Qian's speech.

——[However, what's the point of playing against an opponent who is too weak? 】

Su Qian's speech, which seemed to be a matter of course, caused Xu Zhanjun and the others to feel turbulent.

As the group of young players with the most talent in the country, although they think Su Qian's talent is great, they feel that they are not bad.

After all, their results have been verified in official competitions, which is better than Su Qian who has no official results yet.

As players who have participated in official competitions, they clearly know the nervousness before the competition, and the difficulty of restraining their emotions and controlling their state before the official competition.

They run and chase on the track, of course they also want to be 'faster, stronger and better', but subconsciously they are also worried and fearful, and they are also worried about the powerful enemies participating in the same group.

'What's the point of playing against an opponent who is too weak? '

In their minds, this idea has never existed.

Conversely, if in a game, the opponents in the same group as themselves are not as strong as themselves, they will secretly rejoice in their hearts-this time the lottery for the group is lucky.

Do you feel that the opponent is too weak?

This is an idea they never had.

Su Qian's words were like a thunderbolt piercing into their brains. They felt that these words were so exciting, and felt that if they want to be strong, they should have such a mentality.

However, on the other hand, they thought in their hearts——Maybe, Su Qian is so fearless because he has never been on the field before, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Xu Zhanjun and the other three fell silent because of Su Qian's words.

On the side, Su Qian didn't realize what kind of impact his words had on his friends.

He was thinking about something else.

"Well...but, who should I sign up with now?" Su Qian was a little confused.

He remembered that although the entry threshold for the Grand Prix was very low, they were all registered athletes with affiliated units.

He is currently a registered student athlete, so how should he register for the competition?

Thinking of this, Su Qian remembered the earnest advice before he set off, telling him to call his teacher Zheng Guoping if he didn't understand anything—speaking of it, he should be able to find out by asking the teacher, right?

So, when Xu Zhanjun and the others were experiencing a mental storm, Su Qian took out his cell phone and called Zheng Guoping.

It was past eleven o'clock in the morning, and Zheng Guoping had no class in hand. He had also found the news that the junior team training had officially started on the Internet. Seeing all kinds of discussions were disturbing, and he was a little worried.

As a result, he received a call from Su Qian.

When Zheng Guoping looked at the caller ID, his scalp went numb - it was the little guy Su Qian!

He couldn't really have guessed it. This little guy just talked back to the coach on his first day in the national team, and he was about to be sent back, right?

With this feeling of anxiety, Zheng Guoping picked up the phone: "Hello, Su Qian?"

"Ms. Zheng, it's me!" Su Qian's voice was full of vigor, and he didn't notice Zheng Guoping's uneasiness and temptation at all.

Hearing Su Qian's heartless voice, Zheng Guoping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like people are all right.

It's fine.

Zheng Guoping regained his composure and asked, "What's the matter? It's your first day of training, right? Did you call back?"

On the other end of the phone, Su Qian asked very seriously: "Teacher, I want to participate in the National Athletics Grand Prix in early May in City J, Province Z. How do I sign up?"

ha?

Zheng Guoping thought he had heard it wrong.

He asked again in confusion: "What? What competition are you going to participate in?"

"It's the grand prix competition in J City, Province Z!" Su Qian repeated.

……

Zheng Guoping wanted to faint in place.

What's going on with this kid Su Qian?

Only then did I feel that on the first day of the training camp of the national youth team, I called back and said that I was going to participate in the track and field grand prix? !

"No." Zheng Guoping rubbed his head: "Su Qian, you are only 15 years old this year, and that grand prix is ​​an adult competition, so it's not suitable for you to participate, and no contestant of your age has participated in this before..."

Su Qian was a little puzzled: "Then is there an age limit for this competition? U18 players are not allowed to participate?"

Zheng Guoping was stunned for a moment: "That's not true either."

Although not, it is indeed inappropriate!

Zheng Guoping really had a headache. He asked: "Su Qian, why did you suddenly want to participate in such a competition? Your task for the next period of time should be to participate in training in the national youth group properly?"

Su Qian said: "Because I don't have an official competition result, I can't participate in the World Junior Championships!"

Zheng Guoping was taken aback. He didn't expect it to be because of such a reason: "But even if you get the results in the track and field grand prix, can you get a place for the competition?"

Zheng Guoping hesitated for a moment, and still said to Su Qian: "Su Qian, your talent is very good, but your training time is too short, your task for this training camp is to train well, and wait until the next World Junior Sai, your hope will be greater..."

Su Qian was very persistent: "Teacher, I want to give it a try. Coach Wang said that if I can get the standard result in the Grand Prix, he will recommend me!"

?

Xu Zhanjun and the others had just received the psychic storm, and when they heard Su Qian talking on the phone, they suddenly heard this sentence——No, Su Xiaoqian, when did Coach Wang agree to you with his bad face at first?

The phone call gave Zheng Guoping a headache, and he simply asked Su Qian if Xu Zhan Jun was around, and finally heard the complete reason from Xu Zhanjun.

After he heard that Su Qian ran a time of 10 seconds in the physical test, Zheng Guoping finally fell silent for a moment, and then told Xu Zhanjun to tell Su Qian that he would help him register for the Grand Prix.

In the end, before Zheng Guoping hung up the phone, Xu Zhanjun also spoke.

"Teacher, please register for me too."

Zheng Guoping: "Huh?"

Xu Zhanjun: "I also want to participate in this Grand Prix competition."

Zheng Guoping suddenly didn't understand: "Zhan Jun, Su Qian wants the results of an official competition. In your case, you already have the qualified results of the World Junior Championships. Why do you want to participate?"

Xu Zhanjun was silent for a while, and then said: "I just heard Xiaoqian say something, and I think it's right—as athletes, we should not only be satisfied with our current level, we should have a heart that keeps improving."

"In my usual games, I face opponents who are my age. In most cases, I am stronger than them, but I cannot always only face opponents who are weaker than me."

"I want to try the grand prix and see if I can handle the pressure when I am in the grand prix against an adult player who is stronger than me."

"I think this kind of game experience will bring me new experience."

Xu Zhanjun's words shocked Zheng Guoping on the other end of the phone.

Of course he knows that athletes must have the heart to win, and only those players with a strong desire to win will have the opportunity to shine brightly on the field.

But he also knows that food has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step.

For Xu Zhanjun, a talented player he discovered by himself, he always wanted Xu Zhanjun to make a steady progress. If Xu Zhanjun were to participate in the grand prix now, he would face the heavy pressure of adult players.

The good possibility is that Xu Zhanjun can have a stronger psychological quality when facing a strong opponent on the spot, but at the same time, there is another possibility, that is, after this grand prix, because of the strong opponent The impact fell into a trough.

But after he was silent for a moment, he thought of Su Qian who was also participating.

He also understood that if Su Qian successfully competed this time, and Xu Zhanjun flinched because of his persuasion, Xu Zhanjun may always be weaker than Su Qian in terms of competition mentality in the future.

"Okay, I see."

Zheng Guoping sighed: "Tell Su Qian that I will prepare for both of you to register for the competition."

On the other end of the phone, Xu Zhanjun smiled softly after hearing this answer: "Okay, thank you teacher."

When Xu Zhanjun hung up the phone, Shao Ming and Li Kai also listened to the whole conversation between Su Qian and Xu Zhanjun.

"No way, Xu Zhanjun, you and Su Xiaoqian are going to participate in the Grand Prix?" Shao Ming asked exaggeratedly.

Xu Zhanjun nodded, answering "yes".

Hearing this, Shao Ming took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Li Kai, then left and nodded slightly.

Shao Ming then heaved a long sigh: "Okay, we're in the same dormitory. If that's the case, if you compete, we can't lag behind!"

As he said that, Shao Ming gritted his teeth: "I'll also go to my coach to help me sign up!"

"At that time, let's go to the grand prix race that swept City J together!"

"That's right." Li Kai also said: "When the time comes, we will compete together and see who has the ability to enter the final of that Grand Prix!"

"Wow, is it so fierce to bet on the final?" Shao Ming exaggerated.

On the side, Su Qian saw that there were so many friends participating in the competition, and immediately smiled brightly with bright eyes, and happily responded to everyone: "Okay!"
