Almighty Coach

Chapter 458: The taste of youth

Alvin is still very optimistic about his comeback.

As the ruler of the 4 meter project, Alvin's strength is indeed a lot stronger than other players, or more than one grade.

Take the past few Olympics as an example. At the final stage, athletes can be divided into three grades. The third grade is non-American players. Their results are usually within 45 seconds. If they can reach 44.5, even non-American The best player among the players is there, it is possible to compete for a bronze medal.

In the middle is the American player. The United States has absolute dominance in the 4m event, so the athletes of the US team participating in the Olympics must all be within 44 seconds and 5 seconds. If they play well, they will be close to the 44 second mark. Athletes who can run out of such achievements, even in the United States, are top-notch.

The highest-ranked 4m athlete is Jimmy Alvin. He can run within 44 seconds. If he plays better, he can also run 43 seconds and 5 minutes.

Athletes who entered the Olympic finals should be on the same level, even if there is a gap, it is impossible to be too big, but one can run for 45 seconds, the other only runs for 43 seconds and 5, a full 1.5 seconds gap, average to If 1 meter, it is equivalent to every 1 meter slowed down by .4 seconds, which is obviously a gap of several grades.

It is precisely because of this huge gap in strength that Alvin feels that he can ignore the 34-year-old "old age" and choose to return to the Olympic Games.

...

In late June, the U.S. Athletics Championships were held in Eugene, a holy place for athletics. This competition is also a qualifying event for the Olympic Games.

For American audiences who like track and field, this time of year is a grand event for track and field, especially in the Olympic year, especially when facing the selection of Olympic athletes. The athletes have worked hard for four years just to participate in the Olympics. Of course, the difficulty level of American athletes participating in the Olympics is obviously "hell".

As the world's number one track and field power, the United States has the most track and field athletes in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the number of participants in the United States' Olympic track and field trials will not be less than that of the real Olympics, and the competition may be more intense than the Olympics.

The 4-meter sprint race is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, semi-finals and finals. There are four rounds. One round is held every day. Compared with the Olympics, there are only three rounds in the 4-meter race, which is one round shorter than the US trial round.

In the first round of the preliminary round, there are a total of nine competitions and there are forty qualifying places, which means that more than half of the contestants will enter the semi-finals. The threshold for promotion is not high.

The preliminary stage is also relatively ornamental. Due to the uneven level of players, those high-level players often get out in a crushing attitude, and there will be almost no fierce competition or unpopularity.

But today's 4m preliminary game is different. Not only has it attracted a large number of audiences, but the final game of the preliminary game will also be broadcast nationwide.

Because Jimmy Alvin is going to make the finale in that game.

The news of Alvin ’s comeback has excited many people, but they do n’t know how Alvin is now. For a 34-year-old veteran, playing for the Olympic Games is indeed a very difficult thing, not to mention It's still a very competitive 4m sprint.

When Alvin stood on the track, the audience started to stand up and cheered for him. The camera was always aimed at him. At this moment, other athletes, whether they are playing or are about to participate in the game It ’s become an irrelevant existence. No one cares what other people are doing. Everyone ’s eyes are focused on Alvin. People expect him to run better.

Alvin looked calm. Perhaps he hadn't participated in the competition for too long. He was a little nervous and even a little cramped.

Not far away, the referee looked at Alvin with a cautious gaze, as if to ask Alvin: "Big brother, are you ready? Let's start when we are ready. It's okay if we're not ready. Slowly Come, we are waiting for you. "

Obviously, the referee knows what role he should play. Although he is a referee and has the power to enforce the game, in the face of legendary athletes like Alvin, he still has to wait for Alvin to be fully prepared before he can Announce the start of the game.

On the left and right sides of Alvin, the other athletes all looked at him with admiration. Among them, two young men under the age of twenty, just ran to Alvin and asked for a group photo. Before the game started, the opponent came to ask for a group photo. In this field, only Alvin can do it.

In the eyes of all athletes who run 4 meters, Alvin is their goal and their idol. Perhaps it is not important for the players in the same group to qualify, it is important to be on the same track as the idol Let's run together.

Alvin was ready and nodded at the referee. At this time, the referee issued instructions to prepare for the game, and the athletes stood on the starting blocks.

Alvin felt his muscles were a little stiff, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart. The 34-year-old has been away from the game for three full years, and he didn't know that he could still play a few percent.

By the side of the court, Li Dai had already started using age-reducing cards against Alvin.

"Alvin should be at his peak when he was 26 years old. At that time he ran a 43 seconds 5 and if he was calculated according to the age reduction to 26 years old, he would have to reduce his age, so the duration of the age reduction card It seems that there are too few, not very cost-effective. "

"I remember at the Olympics four years ago, Alvin won 43 seconds and 5 seconds, when he was 3 years old, it seems that he was still in good shape at that time. So, the first age reduction card, first reduce 6 years old, let him return to the physical state of 2 years old. The physical state of 2 years old is definitely better than 3 years old. "

"According to the effect formula of the age reduction card, 13 minus 6 equals 7, 3, 7, 21, the duration of this first age reduction card is 21 days, which is enough for the beginning of next year, and the next two age reductions Cards can reduce his age to 3 years old, and in the state he was 3 years old, it is enough to dominate the world. "

...

The gunshots of the starting sounded, and with the crazy shouts around, Alvin ran out of the starting line.

The moment Alvin took his steps, he suddenly felt that all the cells on his body seemed to start jumping, constantly injecting power into his limbs. His muscles are no longer stiff, replaced by a feeling of vitality.

"What's going on, I feel like I'm suddenly young for several years, this feeling is familiar, really familiar."

Alvin pondered it and finally remembered, wasn't that how he felt when he played in the game before he retired!

"I feel that this is the taste of youth! I haven't smelled this breath for a long time! I even think I'm back to the top, is this an illusion?"

Alvin couldn't believe that his 34-year-old body could return to its peak. After all, the years cannot be reversed.

However, in the next second, he suddenly remembered Kevin Taylor. He was also in his thirties, staying away from the field for many years, and then regained his peak.

"Isn't the reason why I went to Coach Li to get back my youthful state? My goodness, now I really did it! It's amazing, Coach Li is really amazing!" Alvin thought The excitement was beyond words, and Li Dai became a god-like existence in his mind.

...

In the grandstand, Sebastian is also watching this game. He wants to know what Elvin is after his comeback.

"Four years ago, at the Olympics, Alvin won the championship. His score was 43 seconds and 5. Now it is four years later, and he has retired for a long time. His score must have fallen compared with four years ago. Less, but he is Jimmy Alvin after all, and the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, I think he can still run to 45 seconds. It ’s just that this is the preliminary game, the level of the contestants is uneven, and the difficulty of promotion is very difficult Low, I think Alvin is unlikely to run with all his strength. "

Sebastian stared at Alvin closely, and Alvin had already entered the straight from the corner.

"The speed of the sprint is still very fast, how do I feel that Alvin's running speed on the first straight has not changed from four years ago!" Sebastian suddenly felt an uneasy feeling.

After the straight, Alvin entered the corner again, and this distance was also his most advantageous place.

In the process of 4 meters, the most difficult phase of the 2 meters to 3 meters curve, the athlete's body is already in a state of hypoxia after the first 2 meters of running, the muscles will feel sore, and the body will feel tired. But then the tooth is facing a sprint of 1 meter, so at this stage, the athlete has to reserve energy for the final sprint. Energy storage is also required under hypoxic conditions, which is actually contrary to the human physiological system, so this stage is a great test for athletes.

Under normal circumstances, athletes will slow down at this stage. However, Alvin is different. He can still run very fast in the third 1 meter, and it does not affect his physical reserve. When the last 1 meter sprints, his speed will still be much faster than others. Therefore, in the game, the most frequent scene is that Alvin took the lead in the final straight, and then dashed across the finish line.

Today's situation is the same, when Alvin rushed into the final straight, he was already far ahead.

"Alvin is still so fast!" Sebastian took a breath, he could feel that ~ www.readwn.com ~ In the first 3 meters, Alvin was no different from four years ago.

In the final sprint, Alvin deliberately slowed down a bit, and since he had made sure to qualify, he didn't need to consume too much energy. So Alvin ’s final score was fixed at 45 seconds and 36. Taking Alvin ’s peak score as the standard calculation, this is a weak and explosive result, but everyone on the scene clearly saw that Alvin was finally Save energy to deliberately release water.

Sebastian's expression becomes complicated. As the head coach of the American track and field team, he naturally hopes that Elvin's condition is very good. It is best to have the same condition as four years ago. , The United States team will be ten in a row.

However, the better Alvin's state is restored, the more it will make Sebastian believe that Li Dai has a new type of stimulant with excellent effects, and will not be detected by existing technology.

"There must be a new type of stimulant in Li Dai's hands. According to the current situation, the effect of that type of stimulant is very good. It can even rejuvenate the veteran who has retired for a long time. If you continue to let it go, it will not take long. That Li Dai will surpass me and become the best track and field coach in the United States! No, I must get that kind of thing, the world's most advanced stimulant, only I can deserve to use it! "Sebasti Thought angrily.
