Zhao Haohuan is in the fifth lane.
Powell on Lane Six.
Zhang Peimeng is in the seventh lane.
Work and rest are on the eighth path.
The history of Jianglikou Kuang is in the Ninth Road.
After the lanes were divided, the athletes began to make final preparations for the competition. The sound of rain became increasingly clear on the track, changing from pattering to dripping.
Although Bolt said that he likes running in the rain, he feels that the track is softer and more suitable for his pace.
But if you really say that it is raining in this situation and still think so, then you are too stubborn. It is impossible to produce better performance.
Even if you are Bolt, it is impossible.
Bolt also felt uncomfortable after several test runs. The light rain turned into moderate rain, which meant he had to expend more effort to start the race.
It is very likely that there will be a situation where none of the four steps are enough.
This is why, once bad weather occurs in many competitions, the overall performance will drop.
It's not just some mental effects, but also changes to the entire body's functions and physiological conditions. For example, the more slippery the track becomes soft on a rainy day, the greater the impact on the start of athletes who are taller.
Because such tall athletes have a high center of gravity, and their inertia will be relatively large, making it harder for them to control their bodies. A slight change in conditions will definitely have a wider impact on them.
Even Bolt said that he likes running in the rain the most, even though his body is better able to adapt to the extra elasticity that the soft track brings to his body in the rain.
Make his stride length and cadence more elastic.
But this will definitely not affect his startup.
The impact of starting will continue to accelerate and run on the road, and may even easily affect your top speed.
This is why it is extremely difficult to achieve your best results under harsh conditions.
In addition, it is still a headwind gun on the runway in Magic City.
The change in wind direction caused the moderate rain to fall directly on the face from the front, which was also an adverse effect.
These are just changes in external conditions.
The real change in internal conditions is actually Bolt's own fault. Because he competed with Blake in the 200 meters, plus the 100 meters, he did not hold back too much. He did both the 100 meters and the 200 meters, and the intensity was not suitable for him.
, lack of experience, all have affected Bolt.
Even if you do a few more starts.
Do a few more test runs.
He felt a certain degree of discomfort in his body.
This kind of subtle discomfort is definitely nothing to ordinary people and is almost unnoticeable. But for such super masters, a slight change in physical condition may affect the change of the entire process.
It may even affect changes in mentality.
It’s hard to say these, they are all x factors.
Blake was very smart this time. He only did one trial run and then did not make any further preparations for the trial run.
Why not?
Just to save energy.
He had realized this truth earlier than Bolt.
This is a summary of his experience after taking on high-intensity multi-sport events last year. Bolt is different from him in this aspect. First of all, Bolt was absolutely invincible last year and seemed to be unbeatable. Moreover, Bolt summarized this aspect
His experience, routine, and ability are completely incomparable to Blake's.
He's a pure black type of athlete.
He has super athletic talent and a God-given blessing for this project. But his mind seems to be unable to keep up with his talent, so athletes like them need to find strong coaches to lead them.
In other words, if Bolt didn't have Mills to help him summarize and draw a path on this matter, Bolt would not be able to feel the difference in this aspect on his own.
Secondly, this may be the most important reason.
This is also the reason why Bolt himself has no feeling at all in this aspect...
That is, at last year's Daegu World Championships, Blake finished both events. Whether it was 100 meters or 200 meters, he was in a state of completion and completed the entire race.
So he can understand these things to the extent that these two guns are extremely powerful.
But not Bolt.
Because Bolt’s white rice appeared last year, everyone knows what happened.
God cast the dice for him.
He was immediately sent off at the start of the 100 meters.
Then here comes the problem.
Now that he has been sent out.
Does that mean that he has no consumption at all in the 100 meters?
Since he didn't consume much in the 100 meters, even if he suppressed Blake at 200 meters, the consumption was not small. But because there is no 100 meters as a premise of consumption, this is still what Bolt can bear.
within intensity.
He didn't feel at all what kind of feeling and mental pressure it would cause him under the extremely strong intensity of both guns and the pressure of an extremely strong opponent.
In this regard, he lost this good opportunity last year because of a false start.
So he himself never thought about this aspect at all.
If he didn't bring this up himself, he would have been absolutely invincible just by looking at the results before. In addition, they, including Mills, also believed that if they didn't get a jump start on the 100 meters, they would definitely be a sure winner.
Then just...ignore this problem.
This is the biggest factor why Bolt is simply not prepared for the high-intensity competition in these two events this year.
You look like you just missed the mark.
But in fact its impact is chain-linked.
Bolt himself still doesn't understand what's going on.
He may just think that he is not in a good state this time, tired from traveling, or because he came over last night and stayed up late playing video games too late.
Anyway, he didn't think about it at all.
Even when he saw that Blake only ran once in the rain, I went over and asked with some confusion: "Are you just running once, Youhan?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. If you don't try it a few more times, I'm afraid it will affect the feeling of your feet later."
When Blake saw that it was Bolt, he was silent for two seconds and just shook his head silently, indicating that he had no intention of trying again.
Athletes compete selfishly.
Especially Blake, who is always with Bolt, always suppressed, always in a haze...
Even in training, Mills, the coach who used to think most highly of him, obviously had a decline in his own 100-meter training and attention because of Bolt's explosive talent in the 100-meter race.
Of course Blake couldn't understand.
As a head coach, your energy is limited.
If a stronger and more talented player appears, then you will definitely have to transfer more of your energy there.
but……
This does not mean that he can accept it willingly just because he understands it. Blake is also a person with a very strong desire to compete, but he is not as outgoing as Bolt in this regard.
He would just keep these things silently in his heart.
In this aspect he is more like the Guy of Jamaica.
Not Gatling from Jamaica.
Besides, he and Bolt have a competitive relationship. This competitive relationship did not break out particularly clearly because he could not threaten Bolt no matter whether he ran 100 meters or 200 meters before.
But what about this year?
Last year's Brussels had greatly stimulated his interest and confidence in the 200m.
The outside world has been wildly promoting the number one pure running player in the world. Naturally, in the era of social media, it is impossible for him not to have not seen it.
Because this data is very accurate and has been used and certified by many authoritative media, Blake feels even more...
I have a chance to surpass and suppress Bolt.
I have a chance to win in the 200 meters.
Although this sounds a bit outrageous.
My main project is obviously 100 meters.
but.
It's just like--
Back then, Bolt's main event was also the 200 meters, not the 100 meters. So did he suddenly awaken his talent in the 100 meters?
Then he took away all the resources that he had originally trained as the No. 1 athlete in Jamaica.
Then yourself.
Why can't the main event be 100 meters, and then the talent is awakened at 200 meters?
What Bolt can do.
Why can't I do it myself?
Since you took away my 100 meters of resources.
So……
I'm also going to try to get your 200 meters of resources.
Let you have a taste of the anguish and depression you felt back then.
Based on this mentality that competition is increasingly on the table, Blake will naturally not say anything more to Bolt now. Of course, he would not say much to Bolt before. He and Bolt are not so much good friends.
friend.
Rather, they are teammates who train every day in the same team.
The relationship between the two people is similar to that of Jordan and Pippen.
It seems that he often attends various shots and events.
But the private relationship between the two people...
But it's not as close as everyone thinks.
When Bolt saw that Blake didn't seem to want to say anything, he hurriedly walked away. Anyway, he had gotten used to Blake's personality that he didn't like to talk much over the years, so he didn't find anything strange at all.
But the moment he turned around.
Blake looked at him.
But there was some faint feeling.
Now Bolt is the attribute side of his teammate.
The attribute side that Bolt is his enemy and his opponent has been completely occupied in the past.
And since he chose Su Shen to join forces.
It is necessary to bring down such a track and field body that seems to be arrogant to outsiders.
Then he won't tell Bolt about this aspect now.
Bolt himself wants to know.
Then figure it out for yourself.
I won't get involved in this matter now.
Because now he is the enemy.
No longer just teammates.
Su Shen was actually helping him fight for the 200 meters.
Then Blake will naturally help Su Shen fight for 100 meters.
Only in this way can he feel that there is no debt in his heart.
The American ABC TV station is also broadcasting this game.
Gatlin did not go to the Magic City because he did not participate.
He is now an active athlete and has made a strong comeback due to his strong performance this year.
He has been sought after by many people again and is a guest of many media atmosphere.
The simplest piece of evidence is his current participation in these activities and his net worth as a guest.
It has doubled several times.
"Justin, what do you think of this game? Didn't you say you wanted to win the gold medal? If you were there, could you win the next game?"
Gatlin, a big talker, has said that he wants to win the gold medal this year, just like in history. If he says it, he will be splashed with water. He must not slap himself in the face.
Besides, what's wrong with talking big in America?
Who doesn’t want to hear this kind of pre-match talk?
As for whether it can be done.
That's another matter.
Now Gatlin knows this trick very well. He just wants to use this kind of shocking high-profile remarks to gather all the popularity he has lost.
If you are popular, you will naturally get traffic.
Then naturally someone will ask for it, and advertisers will sign up.
In this way his purpose will be achieved.
You can make a lot of money with just a beautiful knife.
Guy is far inferior to him in this aspect.
In fact, Guy is much stronger than him.
But because he doesn't like to over-market himself, and Guy also said a lot of big things before and was slapped in the face very hard, he has obviously restrained himself a lot now.
The biggest difference between Guy and Gatlin is.
When Guy talks big, it's based on what he really thinks he can do.
If he didn't do it afterwards, he would have seen the gap and he would not forcefully say that again.
But Gatlin is not like that.
This is not the guidance given by his team.
What they have to do is use the traffic to promote themselves, attract traffic to themselves, and let their popularity rise.
So even though Gatlin knew he couldn't do it.
Then he will continue talking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Continue to attract attention.
Therefore, after Gay has admitted that Bolt's strength is basically unapproachable, he has given up the choice of talking about this aspect. Now he just wants to steadily improve himself in competitions.
Put yourself in a position to compete for a silver medal.
Of course if the situation in Daegu before Bolt appeared.
He will also show no mercy.
Must be cut off.
But before that, he wouldn't say anything more.
If you don't say it, there will be no explosive point. Naturally, the media's attention will be diverted to Gatlin, who has a bigger mouth and prefers to make some sensational remarks.
There is no way, the audience just likes these.
Are you just competing?
It’s really not pleasing to the modern pan-entertainment system.
Gatlin was very accurate in this aspect.
He said bluntly: "If I were here in this game, I think I would have a chance to win."
"Because I really like running on rainy days. I can bring out the best version of myself on rainy days. It's a pity that this time, due to schedule issues, I can only leave this better version of myself here in the United States.
"
"Look at their shot."
"I think if I were here, I would have a good chance of breaking 10 and getting first place."
"Their ability and stability on rainy days are not as good as mine."
What he said seems to be very confident, and it can arouse the emotions of novices and laymen. In fact, Gatlin also had a good idea here. He did it because he expected it. He came to compete in the Magic City today.
You can see it in the preliminaries...
It is impossible to achieve any particularly good results.
So he was just being clever when he said that.
And most ordinary people don't really understand these various things. When the results are really not particularly good, it will really confirm what Gatlin said. Many people will believe that if the results are increased
If Trin goes there, he will definitely win the championship.
It's really killing two birds with one stone.
Including now that Gatlin’s team has begun to give him a new operating identity——
It's called the old boy who loves track and field.
This can win a lot of favor and even attention.
Publicity efforts can also start from this aspect.
In America, the saying that old soldiers never die is very popular.
Return to the Magic City scene.
Although Bolt felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't feel anything was wrong.
I can only feel that I am thinking too much.
If we wait for the next game, there should be no problem.
After all, I rested here for more than an hour.
You should be able to recover, right?
As he said this, he took a look and saw that Su Shen, who also did not have two test runs, showed off his pretentiousness again. Moreover, Su Shen won the Daegu World Championships last year. Bolt believed that this was an honor that should belong to him.
, he has been more targeted towards Su Shen this year.
"Su, your technical changes haven't been completed yet. It's such a pity that I won't have the chance to compete with you at the top this year."
"After all...I have not made any regression this year compared to before."
"Don't let me blow you up after you start it. I won't be merciful this year."
It was originally a very pretentious sentence, telling the other person that I was still in excellent condition and that I was still the same Usain Bolt.
Most people will definitely be scared when they hear this.
My heart will thump and I will be affected.
Who knew that after Su Shen heard this, he raised his head and let the rain wash over his face. He looked at Bolt next to him and suddenly laughed and said:
"You just haven't regressed?"
"Then you haven't made any progress either."
"Then I'm relieved, Usain."
"I'll start the shot."
"You definitely won't be able to catch up."
Bolt:???
Seeing Bolt in a daze, Su Shen continued: "I don't believe it."
"Just try it."
"I am continuing to improve this year."
Bolt:!!!
Why do you feel like the pretense is on the horse's hooves?
Is my head buzzing on the contrary?
Without giving him any more chance to react, the referee had already asked the athletes to return to their positions and the electronic password began to sound in the rain.
