Chapter 1706 Dont think too much! He has never regarded you as an opponent.
Hayward Eugene Stadium.
The Chinese audience was in high spirits and chatted with each other, while the local audience was in a bad mood, although they were the majority.
But they couldn't stand it anymore, everyone was sullen and angry.
If you are silent.
It's still not as lively as a small group of people chatting sonorously.
Inside the U.S. team lounge.
The atmosphere is not high.
This is mainly because a lot of people on Lao Mi's side did not make it to the finals, including those once-famous athletes.
9.80 were all rejected from the finals.
On the contrary, it's the flower grower's side.
All entered the finals.
This seems to indicate that the subject and the guest are somewhat reversed.
On the contrary, people are mainly visiting in Eugene.
The first group that finally entered the finals was Zhao Haohuan, Tyson Gay, Lao Yi, and Dix.
Group 2 is Gatlin, Su Shen, Zhang Peimeng, and Nikhil Ashmead.
In the competition for Little Q, Michael Rogers narrowly defeated Kimmons with a time of 10.03 seconds and won the Little Q.
Entered the finals.
Therefore, the final list of finalists is Zhao Haohuan, Tyson Gay, Lao Yi, Dicks, Gatlin, Su Shen, Zhang Peimeng, Nickel Ashmead, and Michael Rogers.
Patton and Padgett, these were once 9.80 level masters, but they were all shut out and eliminated.
America's perennial No. 1 player, Kimmons, also failed to get a ticket.
So many people from the American team came to participate in the competition, but only 4 entered in the end. For others, this may be considered a very good result, but for the American track and field team, which has a high self-esteem...
It's a huge setback.
However, Nesta Carter was also eliminated, which was ignored by them. After all, this place is not Jamaica, this is America.
This is Millikin.
The administrator of the American Athletic Association, Thomson, said in the lounge: "Actually, it's not a big problem. As long as everyone performs well, we can win the top three in the finals."
There was nothing wrong with saying this before.
In fact, Thomson is also a young member who has just joined the job, otherwise why would he be allowed to take the blame? These clichés were also what he had collected from the other administrators of the Athletics Association before, and they would often say them, and they just happened to apply to him.
Doesn't look immature.
He appears to be more knowledgeable.
But the fact is...
It just had the opposite effect.
At this time, the American team is no longer the former American team. Although they are still stubborn in the media, as athletes themselves, they are very aware of the decline of the current American team.
Take the top three?
This was taken for granted before.
Now?
If you say this, everyone can only treat you as a fool.
This is because no one has come to Jamaica.
Although they directly regarded Carter as air.
But that doesn't stop the fact that Jamaica's strongest trio didn't come. If they came too, not to mention taking the top three, it would be pretty good to get even one of the top three honors.
And now the bigger problem is.
Even without even the main team from Jamaica coming over...it's still difficult for their American track and field team to take the top three places?
This can only explain one problem.
The decline of the American track and field team is not just due to the rise of Jamaica. Their own situation is not only that their top strength is suppressed, but that there is no longer that kind of super-class existence, which is their own crux.
So people like Rogers entered the competition casually, but they didn't even think about getting into the top three.
Able to strive for the top three.
What they think more about is that at least they have not been directly eliminated, and they are better than Patton and Padgett. The same is true in American society. What difference can there be if we are all human beings? When the wolf pack comes, I don’t think
I need to run faster than everyone else, I just need to run faster than you.
As long as he didn't enter the finals, the attraction of the artillery fire would not be his turn.
What Dix is worried about now is that it is difficult for him to achieve compatibility in the 100 meters and 200 meters. It is not only a problem of running technique, but also the physical consumption of running 200 meters and 100 meters at the same time in one day.
This is a test for Dix, who is getting older and lacks self-discipline.
He is now at this tangled point in time.
I don’t have time to listen to what this so-called administrator of the Athletics Association is talking about. What kind of nonsense is this? You thought this was in the 1980s and 1990s.
Especially in this current situation, the more you say this, the more you write, and there is some irony in it.
Gatlin still wanted to have a good relationship with them, and wanted to stand up and say a few words of comfort to smooth things over. At this moment, Guy, the nominal big brother, suddenly said: "It's not appropriate for you to say this now."
"Huh?" Thomson looked at Guy, a little confused.
"The current U.S. track and field team."
"It's not considered the top team in the world anymore."
“So it’s better not to shout slogans like the one before that always took the top three spots.”
While relaxing his muscles, Guy half-closed his eyes and said: "Especially now, our top combat power is lacking. This is because the people from Jamaica are not here. If they all show up, if Su also comes next year
All strength has been restored, and the impact of technical changes and foot changes have been completely digested..."
"I think our slogan should be changed to try to win a medal."
"After all, right now...except for me, no one else is top-notch competitive."
"The start of the Diamond League is the best evidence."
Guy actually doesn't talk much in normal times, but now Thomson is really silly and cute, too young, which reminds him of himself when he just entered professional track and field sports.
Then he couldn't help but mention a few words.
Let this little rookie stop being stupid and say such ridiculous and counterproductive words.
In fact, Guy didn't mean anything else by saying this, and he was just stating a fact. You are like Dix and Rogers, and they didn't have any opinions after hearing it.
Because the current top guy in the United States is Guy in the 100 meters. This is because Guy no longer has the energy to carry the 200 meters, and Guy's groin is really not up to par.
Otherwise, the American record in the 200 meters would probably be his.
In addition, the only giant American player currently is Gay.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.
But some people don’t like hearing about this situation.
Forget it before, Gatlin had not regained his strength. He could only hold his nose after enduring it for a while. But after training hard after finishing in Daegu last year, Gatlin felt that he had gradually returned to his peak.
Since he was gradually returning to his previous peak personality and temperament, as well as the leadership temperament he thought he should have, they all broke out at the same time.
After all, it was before Guy.
He is America's super young up-and-comer.
He is the first brother of the American team.
He is the one who defeated Maurice Green and took the throne of the world's No. 1 player.
Therefore, Gatlin has always believed that his leadership temperament has never been a problem.
At least compared to the dull type like Guy.
Even if you hit him with a stick, you won't be able to fart, which is completely inconsistent with the typical American competitive spirit.
Someone who doesn't even talk trash.
How is this worthy of leading the United States team to compete with Jamaica?
Don’t you have to do this yourself?
First of all, the so-called locker room problem must be solved.
That is to say, the issue of determining who is the current boss and who accepts leadership. This can be said to be extremely important in the black locker room culture.
Maybe many people don’t understand it, that’s because you are not black. In international history and modern political struggles, black people don’t even look at the clinking slogans, but in fact, they have really reached the highest pinnacle in the political field.
People are almost extinct.
Due to historical and modern reasons, they have a deeper obsession with being the boss.
Combined with the distribution of history and modern elite politics, you can roughly understand why black old men like the identity of "boss".
Why is this identity so important to them?
It is because from history to modern times, they have rarely achieved the status of "boss" on the world stage.
The more something is lacking, the more naturally you want to get something. This is human nature. So after Gatlin's rise this year, the most important thing is naturally to become the number one sprinter in the United States again.
It is indeed like eliminating the three evils from every place.
In fact, no one remembers what the other ones are.
I will only remember who Zhou Chu was who won the highest honor and killed the others. At least he will have a name in history.
Although Gatlin did not understand this allusion, he was well aware of the principles of this genre. To do this, of course, he must rise again and become the first brother, rather than being the second or third child.
This will greatly reduce your commercial value and packaging level.
You try to think about it, an old boy struggled hard, experienced various setbacks, and made the so-called mistakes that all men in American track and field make, but in the end he came back and became a veteran, and counterattacked all the way to regain the title.
This script is more exciting.
The previous ones remain unchanged, but the last sentence is changed to and counterattacks all the way, becoming the second child again.
Even the third child.
If you put these two scripts together, which one would you choose?
Even people who have never studied the directing business can easily see it.
Which script is better?
More hype.
It can also increase commercial prices.
At this point, Gatlin was successful in his last life, and during the period when he was re-emerging, Gay was already dying due to injuries. In addition, the rest of the American players were in decline, and there was no Cole.
Leigh, no Lyles, no Coleman...
There is only a group of teammates who are not particularly strong or talented in the history of sprinting in the United States.
Then it was natural for Gatlin to become the No. 1 player on the U.S. sprint team again.
But here.
It is still difficult for him to achieve this goal.
After all, I am now sitting in the No. 1 position.
And you have to consider Pb.
He is even the number one sprinter in the United States.
Tyson Gay, because of the butterfly effect brought by Su Shen, he is still sitting in this position.
It is really not that easy for Gatlin to become the big brother of the American team again.
Therefore, the declaration of sovereignty is similar to that of black players. In various sports, locker room competition will inevitably be highlighted.
"Tyson, I think what you said is unreasonable." Gatlin said: "Our American track and field team has a long history and excellent young people. What you are saying is that we lack top combat capabilities. We only have
Only then can you compete for the top three. I think it has somewhat demoralized others and destroyed the prestige of our American track and field team."
"Do you think so?"
pity.
Gatlin's influence on the U.S. sprint team has long been diluted, and this group of people are not the followers that Gatlin enjoyed so much glory back then.
They are almost all used to Guy being the big brother these years.
Moreover, Guy is not like other typical American blacks, pointing fingers everywhere, talking too much, and having a broader control than the Pacific police.
This actually made them all feel pretty good.
When Gatlin said this, the entire locker room fell silent.
No one agreed with him.
If he and several team members hadn't looked at Gatlin and said a few words in embarrassment, Gatlin would really have become a conspicuous person.
And it’s the kind that jumps out on its own.
Of course, Rogers and Dix, although they did not echo Gatlin's words, they did not want to speak directly to Guy.
Choosing silence is the best way in this kind of boss fight.
Anyway, whoever becomes the boss is not the one who becomes the boss.
No need to tear your skin too far.
"What I said is unreasonable?" Guy straightened up slightly at this time, lay on the massage table, turned to look at Gatlin, and said silently: "Then tell me, the so-called glorious history and track and field heritage of the United States.
Does it help us to defeat these opponents now?"
"Is there anyone other than me who can open 9 seconds 70?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What you have to do is to open 9 seconds 80 first."
"Justin." Guy just doesn't talk much, because no one takes the initiative to mess with him, and his strength is recognized by everyone. But after all, he has been the big brother in this position for so many years.
When someone really challenges him, he can still appear with aura.
"Times have changed now."
"You'd better turn on 9 seconds 80 now."
"If you can't open 9.80 seconds, then you will be at the bottom of the finals on the world stage."
"After all, now it's 9 seconds 70, and there's no chance to win a medal."
Because Guy spoke very seriously, he actually increased his sense of authority when speaking. This made Gatlin used to being the big brother in the past, and his expression really changed after being criticized like this.
But since he is already preparing to regain his position as the boss of the locker room, there is no reason to be convinced by Guy.
"Even if many results look good, few can achieve excellent results in the Olympic finals. It still depends on who performs better in the finals," Gatlin finished.
, Guy shook his head directly, and Gatlin couldn't speak any more.
"That is an outdated concept of yours, in today's competition arena."
"It's a stage where it's easy to get results."
"Why don't you take a look at which stage the previous world records were set on several consecutive times?" Guy picked up the mineral water next to him and took a sip, and said: "Now on the stage of the competition, I suggest you take out
My best level."
"Otherwise if I get the last place in the finals."
"Being in the finals only means so much."
Gatlin also wanted to say something, but Gay said something heartbreaking again, which made Gatlin suddenly realize that Gay had consolidated his position as the boss in the team during the years he had been suspended.
"besides."
"You should think about Justin."
"Why is there only one bed in this lounge? I'm lying on the bed now, but you can only sit on the chair."
When Gatlin heard this, his face turned even greener, and both Dix and Rogers couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I didn't expect Gai Lao, who is usually quiet, to be so domineering at times.
Gatlin, this old boy, has stepped on a thunderbolt.
"What you say is unfounded!" Gatlin shouted with the last bit of his strength: "Even if I can't beat you in this game, can't I still beat the others? What's the big deal if we win the top spot?
"
"No." When Guy saw Gatlin's appearance, his mentality became calmer. He looked at the latter and said slowly:
"Besides me, there may be someone else you can't win."
"Su, you probably won't win this match."
"How come I can't win? Didn't I win in Doha before?" Gatlin said with a frown, thinking he had found a loophole in Guy's words.
But as everyone knows, Guy just smiled.
This look and expression made Gatlin even more uncomfortable.
"Now and then, Tiger takes a nap. With so many changes this year, he wasn't ready at the beginning of the season. After these few games, he may have gradually adjusted."
"After all, he is a giant."
"He is my opponent in the Olympic finals."
"You lost to him."
"It's normal."
"And I want to..."
Forget these words, Gatlin hasn't completely broken his defense yet.
Guy's last sentence was somewhat muttered to himself, and it was only then that Gatlin's defense was completely broken with a hammer.
"He probably didn't regard you as this year's opponent."
