Chapter 1845 The winning advantage turns out to be... extremely fast sniping?!
London Bowl Live.
The men's 110-meter hurdles has entered the final championship battle. Richardson Robles has obviously lost the possibility of competing for the gold medal.
Especially Robles...
He even suddenly pulled his thigh and iliopsoas muscle while running, and continued to move his middle finger forward with a painful expression.
This moment.
He has become a useless person in the Cuban Athletics Federation. The treatment and status given to him will disappear after this Olympic Games.
Don’t think that friendship is easy for small countries.
In fact, small countries tend to be more careful and profit-oriented because of their weak foundation.
Robles was injured, which would have been a big deal before. But this year, because Robles ran too little and Merritt came out of nowhere, the attention paid to him has been greatly reduced.
In this way, even though he quit the game in pain.
Not many people stayed on him for even a second.
Competitive sports are so cruel.
Now everyone's eyes are focused on the front.
Liu Xiang vs Merritt.
This was also the scene that was considered the most likely to happen before the game. Now it has finally appeared. It seems that the two people have been waiting for a long time and there is no surprise at all.
Compared with Merritt, Liu Xiang's running method was to suppress the speed in front. In other words, in the first four hurdles, although Liu Xiang had already reached the first place, he did not use all his strength.
It was entirely because his starting reaction was superior to everyone else's, and coupled with the seven-step hurdles, he had become a master and naturally took the lead.
But Liu Xiang did not completely release himself.
The strategy he set for himself in this game was not to break out at the fourth hurdle. With his ability, he showed his extreme speed at the fourth hurdle, which is not uncommon in his career.
But here he chose to suppress.
The primary purpose is of course to reduce the load on your Achilles tendon and ankle. Even if you get a closed injection, it will only relieve the pain and suppress the pain, but the injury on your body is still there, and it will not cause any pain.
disappeared and restored.
So Liu Xiang decided to hold down his rhythm in the first four hurdles.
Don't explode with all your might.
This not only reduces the tendons of your ankles and Achilles tendons, consumes them in advance, but also...
After facing the situation where Merritt caught up, he had enough physical strength to make adjustments.
Don't be passive.
Since the semifinals, Liu Xiang has never underestimated Merritt. Even when he came out of the finals, he firmly believed...
Merritt can definitely catch up.
There will definitely be no surprises.
In the semi-finals, I was able to run within 12.95 even if I hit the hurdles. How could it be possible that I wouldn't perform better in the finals?
The main reason why he ran so fast in the semifinals is...
He is sure to run faster in the final.
Otherwise, all athletes do this.
They will all be severely criticized by the coach.
Here Merritt entered the top speed on the 4th hurdle. Generally speaking, he is used to starting to move his body towards the top speed on the 4th hurdle this year.
Even though you may be ahead of the hurdle by one hurdle, it would be difficult for you to accomplish this without extraordinary physical fitness and strong ability to maintain speed. Because at an athlete's extreme speed output, the distance between a hurdle and a hurdle is close to 10 meters.
You want to maintain one more top speed segment at 10 meters.
How difficult is it? I’m afraid I don’t need any further explanation.
Even in a short span, the top speed cannot be fully developed, and it will not be as exaggerated as a 100-meter sprint, but if you want to maintain an extra 10-meter top speed section...
Based on this, Liu Xiang's shot exploded after releasing the fourth hurdle, and he suppressed an extra hurdle before releasing it.
In contrast to Merritt and Liu Xiang, who made a fuss about the time it took him to lift his legs and support himself until he left the ground, his body has developed to a much higher degree in the past few years than before. After this wave, his support ability is naturally different from before.
Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles athlete has advantages in acceleration ability at the start and three-step cadence between hurdles, but in the hurdle step technique, there are weak links such as a large take-off angle, a long distance from the hurdle, and a long flight time. This is also the case for Liu Xiang
He had gradually overcome many of his past weaknesses in the past few years.
For example, if the take-over angle is large, it can be adjusted at the moment of back pedaling.
Use more powerful back pedals to solve the problem of excessive cross-angle.
The first column of the starting span also has this factor.
That's why he changed from eight to seven so smoothly.
So here in the middle, if you want to go faster, what should you do?
…
"Liu, there is a significant difference in your hurdle time compared with foreign athletes. The main reason is that your hurdle step is obviously longer, and the specific performance is that the distance on the lower hurdle is longer. If you don't solve this problem, you will be getting worse and worse now.
The older you get, the weaker and weaker your functions become. If you want to return to the previous level, you can only do it in a dream."
…
Ralph Mann did raise this question.
This is also the problem of Liu Xiang’s entire mid-distance running, or in other words, the uniformity of all Chinese athletes’ mid-distance running.
Because the hurdle step is obviously longer, the distance to the bottom of the hurdle will also become longer.
So how to do it?
The jump is far away and the landing is close.
This is the six-character policy summarized by Ralph Mann. When it was changed into Chinese, Su Shen personally participated in the translation. This allowed Liu Xiang to more clearly understand Ralph Mann's intention. Professional translation ability, to be honest
It has always been a shortcoming of our country, which affects the improvement of athletes. Because the coach's ideas cannot be accurately translated, errors will occur in the transmission.
The more athletes practice, the more mistakes they make.
The last step was wrong, and it was completely different from what the European and American coaches originally meant.
Attack the fence.
Swing your legs wide, and continue to fold your calves and swing them forward and upward.
Swing leg folds and high swings forward and upward.
Thus.
Naturally, the swing radius is shortened.
When the swing radius is shortened, the corresponding swing speed of the leg will also increase.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This will be in line with Ralph Mann's characteristics of "starting from afar".
Make the entire starting movement of the attack more natural and smooth.
And this is not over yet. When the action of jumping over and attacking the hurdle is completed, the three joints of the jumping leg, hip, knee and ankle, should remain straight, and the head, trunk and jumping leg should be basically in a straight line.
This is to make the body fall to the ground faster.
It won't land too far like before and waste the entire running time.
and……
Liu Xiang was here, as if he knew Merritt would come up, and suddenly broke out in the fifth column.
Completely unlock the entire speed.
That is to say, completely unlock your own phosphagen system and reach the maximum speed.
"Is Liu trying to force Aris? He may choose the wrong way!"
"Courage must be combined with ability."
The on-site commentator's words clearly suggested that it was not a good idea for Liu Xiang to hit Merritt at high speed on the way.
But when it fell on Su Shen's side, it turned out to be...
Well done!
Keen sense of smell!
As expected of Brother Xiang!
Why did Su Shen make a completely different judgment than the on-site commentator?
that's because……
In this Olympics, Merritt’s top speed...
It's not an exaggeration.
Even Merritt's strongest 12.80s, the entire hurdle speed is comparable to Liu Xiang.
Even...not as good as Liu Xiang most of the time.
For example, this Olympics is a typical example.
Don't look at Merritt's dominant double opening of 12.95s, but his top speed is not particularly exaggerated in either the semifinals or the finals, especially in the finals... Su Shen remembers clearly that his top speed between hurdles was only 0.99s.
What is the level of this top speed? Let’s use some of Liu Xiang’s own games in his previous life as an example. The slowest time was to break 13 seconds, which was the 12.97 seconds when he came back from the rain in Shanghai and broke into 13 seconds again. That time Liu Xiang’s
The top speed has reached 0.97s.
And it has been achieved more than once.
I did three hurdles in one game, three times.
The 2007 World Championships final in Osaka also achieved 0.97s.
There are also Lausanne and the like.
Not to mention 0.98s, almost all the results within 13 seconds were turned on, and there were even some results that were not turned on for 13 seconds, all of which were achieved. The output stability of Merritt's entire top speed, minus 12.80s
One shot is usually not as high as Liu Xiang's output.
Therefore, another suggestion Su Shen gave him was -
Go fast and don't hide.
Confronted with Merritt.
Frontal pressure can not only bring more confidence and motivation to oneself, causing the adrenal glands to surge significantly, but can also suppress the opponent's momentum and prevent them from breaking through the rhythm blockade.
Just how to do it.
That is Liu Xiang's own business.
But Su Shen always believed that Liu Xiang could do it.
Just like it appears now.
Liu Xiang had a sudden duel with Merritt in the speed zone. Merritt did not expect this scene. He did not expect that a yellow man would dare to compete with him, a black man, at high speed. And it was based on Liu Xiang's flat running.
It's not that great, at least compared to them, it's not too fast.
Merritt is a bit superior. Since Liu Xiang sent a war post, he must accept it.
He is also heading towards "winning three yuan in a row" this year.
Besides, his coach Andreas Beem also thinks that a yellow man who wants to fight Merritt is out of his mind.
Merritt's flat running ability is much better than Liu Xiang's. At one time, his coach even thought that Merritt had the ability to run for ten seconds.
Of course, even if he is deliberately exaggerating, it still shows that his flat running ability is definitely not bad.
This made Merritt take it for granted that the yellow man wanted to compete with him in terms of speed, but he really thought too much.
He admired Liu Xiang's unparalleled rhythmic ability, but...
This never includes Liu Xiang's top speed.
Unfortunately.
This is a 110-meter hurdle, not a 100-meter hurdle. How to maintain speed output during the hurdle is the key.
Liu Xiang obviously has to do better than him at this point.
Liu Xiang and Merritt faced each other in the fifth column.
Extremely fast confrontation.
And then in full view of the public.
Liu Xiang is here...
He actually forced Merritt, who was black, and who was said to be able to run 100 meters for ten seconds...
Press behind you.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Not polite at all.
In the duel between Liu Xiang and Merritt in the fifth column, unexpectedly, they gained the upper hand.
Here, he even continued to widen the gap with Merritt.
This is impossible!?
Merritt coach Andreas Beem was a little dumbfounded.
Merritt also couldn't believe it.
Even Li Tao was a little worried about Liu Xiang doing this.
But the result...
Slap everyone in the face.
The fiery red figure on the sixth lane actually pinned his opponent head-on.
Forcefully suppress black people at the fastest speeds where they are most confident.
This made Merritt really feel that the rising momentum was stagnant.
It was like being hit in the head with a stick.
"Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang suppressed Merritt in a high-speed confrontation! He defeated Merritt in a high-speed confrontation!!!"
"He continues to widen the gap!!!"
When Yang Jian saw this, his whole blood seemed to be rebounded strongly by a spring.
How worried I was just now, I feel so...excited now.
"Actually...actually chose the most positive way to suppress Merritt."
"Haiping, you are so brave."
Sun Haiping was also feeling dizzy at this time.
Because he himself...
But this order was never given.
In fact, after being overwhelmed by Merritt's performance in the semifinals, he couldn't let Liu Xiang do this.
Therefore, this can only be said to be Liu Xiang on the runway.
Decisions made by oneself.
A Xiang.
you really……
So brave.
Liu Xiang took advantage of the opportunity to suppress Merritt at the fifth hurdle and continued to move forward.
The first step between hurdles is closely linked to the next hurdle action.
When the swing leg touches the ground on the lower rail, the knee joint is almost straight, and the extensor muscles involved in the back push are in a fully stretched state.
The angle of the swinging leg and knee has further narrowed compared to before 2008.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is to make his running between the bars after getting off the bar more compact.
The leg muscles he had worked so hard to train have shown their effect here. Through muscle explosion and increase in strength, he has been able to achieve technical movements that he could not do before. Especially after more than a month of continuous improvement in intensity and capacity, he has been able to achieve
The potential accumulated in this area over the past few years has been released on a large scale.
The current Liu Xiang is not the same person before. His current physical fitness far exceeds his own at the same time.
Merritt was dissatisfied at this time.
As a black man, his temper has also risen. He can't let it go in a rhythmic confrontation. He loses in a speedy confrontation. What's going on?
He took a breath here.
After crossing the hurdle, the foot of the swing leg touches the point where the foot of the jumping leg touches the next starting point. In this section, Merritt tries to speed up the running rhythm between the hurdles as much as possible, accurately uses the distance between the hurdles, and increases the running speed.
This creates favorable conditions for successfully crossing the next column.
At the same time, in order to reduce the ups and downs of the body's center of gravity and maintain the center of gravity between the hurdles, Merritt raised his thighs high, landed on the balls of his feet, and even increased his arm swing speed.
This is because the distance between the hurdles and the number of running steps are fixed, and the step length is relatively stable, so increasing the running speed between hurdles is mainly achieved by accelerating the cadence and improving the running rhythm.
Merritt chose to do this just to improve his cadence and rhythm. From these technical moves, you can see that Merritt is indeed strong, and he is worthy of being the strongest in history this year.
The technical control and execution are extremely excellent.
It's hard to find fault with.
What he did here was to compete with Liu Xiang in the sixth column.
You need to reduce the speed again here.
"Merrit is here again?!" Seeing Merritt attack again, Yang Jian's heart lifted again.
This shows that now, everyone still recognizes Merritt's strength, so they feel nervous when Merritt attacks again.
That's right, Aris, that's it, don't be afraid of failing once.
He actually wants me to compete with you in speed.
Then you compare with him.
Andreas Beem watched Merritt attack again and admired in his heart, this is the psychological quality that a world-class athlete should have.
Rather than being like David Oliver.
The rhythm was off for once.
Immediately depressed.
Merritt is not that kind of person.
This is also one of the things he admires about Merritt.
Liu Xiang could hear the spike god next to him approaching. Needless to say, it was definitely Merritt. In terms of flat running impact, he was indeed inferior to the latter.
There is nothing wrong with admitting this.
But it also has its own advantages.
…
"Liu You's characteristic is that you can naturally reduce the vertical speed when taking off the stride. If this ability is placed in the 100-meter flat run, it is meaningless and may even have negative effects. But if it is placed in the 110-meter hurdles, it will be
It has become an extremely important feature. Because if you can reduce the vertical speed when you take off, you can achieve a greater initial speed in the air and a lower parabolic trajectory of the body's center of gravity."
"This is an important reason why your flat running ability is not that good, but you can still run faster and faster between the hurdles, and you are not inferior to these runners who are far ahead of you."
"If you can make full use of this characteristic, you will be able to run on the road and be equal to any master."
…
Can I reduce the vertical speed when taking off, achieve a greater initial speed in the air, and lower the parabolic trajectory of the body's center of gravity?
Liu Xiang's special training this month actually focused on this aspect.
He wants to fully bring out his own characteristics.
In order to meet Merritt in the Olympics, he can also have his own advantages.
That's it……
There is only one disadvantage.
That is the impact on the supporting foot and the foot when landing.
will be bigger.
There will be more damage.
This is why it is difficult for Liu Xiang’s technical characteristics to be opened continuously for 13 seconds in a short period of time.
No, he doesn't have this ability.
No, he doesn't have this technology.
It's simply that his body can't hold it.
This technical characteristic gives him a strong short-span talent, but it also limits his talent in certain aspects, such as the ability to use extreme double guns. Based on this characteristic, it is difficult for Liu Xiang to display it.
And running like this puts too much pressure on the legs.
Especially the heel and Achilles tendon.
In fact, if a type like Liu Xiang can be scientifically developed early, he should pay special attention to the basic construction of these aspects since childhood, just like Su Shen's soleus muscle to make up for his natural deficiencies.
It's just a pity...
Athletes of this era don't know anything at all.
Even the coaches barely understand it.
It is impossible to help Liu Xiang make up for these natural weaknesses and technical characteristics when it is time to lay a solid foundation.
And when his speed became faster and faster.
This technology takes a toll on the body.
There are more and more.
Liu Xiang suffered various physical injuries in the later period.
But this kind of technical talent blessing is probably not irrelevant. Sometimes when I think back, it can be said that success is a failure and failure is a failure.
But this time, Liu Xiang won't think about this anymore.
His special training this month is no joke.
The extremely strong intensity allowed him to realize his talent and skills to an extent comparable to his performance in 2006.
Otherwise, how could it be that after Su Shen's 2008 years, he had already provided him with so many foundations, but still had problems practicing here?
Because Liu Xiang really pushed this place to a high level during this month's assault training.
In this way, although the load on the body is greater.
But when facing a master like Merritt.
He also has the ability to deal with it more calmly.
Actively stretch the vertical hurdle surface forward, driving the body to maintain the maximum forward lean, and actively press down when passing the hurdle to reduce the residence time on the hurdle.
After the stepping leg is pushed off the ground, the thigh of the swinging leg continues to swing forward and upward until the knee joint exceeds the height of the railing, the lower leg swings forward quickly, and the instep is lifted.
While the swing leg is swinging forward, the arm and shoulder on the opposite side are also stretched above the fence, so that it exceeds the knee, and the arm on the opposite side is basically parallel to the swing leg.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Swing the arm on the same side back, increase the forward lean of the upper body, and look forward with the torso and swinging legs forming an acute angle.
This is Liu Xiang's ability to adjust the flight time by swinging his legs, allowing him to use his talent of "reduce the vertical speed when taking off, obtain a greater initial speed in the air, and lower the parabolic trajectory of the body's center of gravity".
More vividly.
At this time, Merritt also came up behind him and used his flat running ability to narrow the gap.
He wants to fight Liu Xiang again.
Still tough and fast.
Su Shen squinted his eyes.
I also want to see what the outcome of this round of confrontation will be?
turn out--
"Merritt, Merritt is still suppressed by Liu Xiang!!!"
"Liu Xiang is like a god today. His running ability makes him dream back to 06!!!"
Yang Jian is going crazy.
Such an exciting duel kept his nerves on edge all the time. The same thing happened to Li Tao next to him. He didn't even shout out a single word in this paragraph. His entire gaze was completely attracted by the extreme confrontation between these two people.
so amazing.
Liu Xiang did not cover this.
Facing Merritt who was in such good condition, he was able to continuously suppress him in the top speed zone.
Let me ask, except him.
Can any other Asian athlete do it?
Can another yellow athlete do it?
genius.
What is genius?
This is genius.
After losing twice in a row, Merritt's heart finally fluctuated. If even Ji Su couldn't stand up to Liu Xiang.
So entering the final stage of confrontation, what capital does he have to be able to surpass him?
Blocked again???
Merritt was a little panicked.
Ji Speed was blocked by Liu Xiang continuously.
Cracks appeared in his already strong fighting spirit.
Andreas Bim looked at the red figure in lane 6 with wide eyes, and was speechless for a moment.
In the extreme speed zone, he continuously withstood Merritt's impact.
There is even a tendency to pull back.
this……
Is he still a yellow athlete?
Liu Xiang maintained at least two 0.97s.
This is equivalent to two hurdles, which have been separated by another 0.04s. The top speed of Merritt's shot was worse than he imagined.
And it's quite different.
"Can't you outrun Liu at top speed?"
"Then Merritt is in some danger.
"Has Liu already smelled the Olympic gold medal again?"
Liu Xiang fucked Merritt hard and fast.
It's really a manly thing.
Such a head-to-head victory.
All Liu Xiang's track and field fans seem to have seen him again in Athens in 2004.
Young and energetic.
Arrogant and unruly.
Don't obey anyone.
Don't believe in any fate.
ps: Merritt's hurdle speed is actually not very high. In this Olympic final, it was only 0.99...
