Almighty Coach

Chapter 518: Extra gain

Three stars and stripes were raised at the Maracana Stadium at the same time, and the banner of "Starry Banner" also played again.

The Brazilian audience at the scene felt no sense of the American national anthem. They were discussing the strength of the United States.

"There was news before that the American track and field team received the image of a doping scandal, and its strength was greatly weakened. Now it seems that this is not the case."

"Don't believe those media, when did they tell the truth. So far there have been five gold medals in the track and field events, and the American team has occupied two of them, which is not weak at all."

"The track and field strength of the US team is really the world's first. Even if it is affected by the doping scandal, many powerful players can not participate, but it is still a team with good results in the track and field event."

At this time in the United States, many Americans watching sports in public places were all excited to celebrate.

American Association of IAAF CEO Williams did not go to sleep this time, but stayed in front of the TV to watch the Olympic Games.

The appearance of the three stars and stripes at the same time reminded him of the Olympics eight years ago. At that time, the men's 400-meter event and the US team won three gold, silver and bronze medals.

"When did our long jump become so strong?" Williams murmured.

Williams looked at the three sturdy guys on the podium, only one of whom was familiar with him, and the other two looked very familiar, and apparently these two faces were doping scandals before they joined the US team. of.

"The two guys I don't know should be picked up by Li Dai. Counting Wins Jackson who won the women's shot put yesterday, coach Lee's vision is really good."

At this moment, Williams suddenly admired Li Dai in his heart.

"I suddenly felt that maybe Coach Lee should not be our scapegoat. At present, it seems that the athletes he picked are great. If he is given another four years, the next Olympics, our American track and field team will Get stronger again! "

……

Three American players are wearing Stars and Stripes and are being interviewed by reporters. Li Dai is looking at all this with a smile on his face, and he is applauding for Libra.

The strength of these three players is good, but if it is only played normally, it is still not enough to get the Olympic gold medal. At this time the state Libra has become a big help. The nature of the game of long jump also determines that the state libra can play a singular effect. With six test jump opportunities, once the state bursts, it is possible for the athlete to win the championship.

And today, Li Dai ’s luck is good enough. Two people bet on the state of the first test jump. This directly puts great pressure on athletes from other countries, making the US team take the lead at the beginning of the game. If the US team did not put pressure on the strong players of other countries at the beginning and let them slowly adjust their status, the outcome is still unknown. After all, this is the Olympic Games, the world's highest level of competition. A score of just 8.4 meters, compared with the long jump champions of previous Olympic Games, can only be regarded as the last stream.

In the men ’s long jump finals, the women ’s 100m semifinals also ended the competition,

Two players from the US team entered the finals, and all three players from Jamaica entered the finals.

The ultimate women ’s 100m trapeze battle will begin in two hours.

The next item in the track and field are men's 10,000-meter long-distance race.

A total of 34 runners participated in the men ’s 10,000-meter long-distance race. Almost all runners were Olympic A-markers, and most of the participating countries sent three runners.

The 10,000-meter long-distance running must use alternating leading tactics to save physical energy. If a country sends three athletes, it is easy to form a small-scale succession leading tactic; if it is only one person, it is difficult to support alone. Leading alone will definitely be unable to support physical fitness. If you follow, you will fall into the rhythm of others. So it was really too difficult for the Chinese team to win the championship in the women's 10,000-meter project.

Africa's long-distance runners-up Ethiopia and Kenya are undoubtedly the strongest in this project. Other countries such as Uganda and Eritrea are also comparable in strength to the US team and are considered to be in the second group.

Although the US team is second only to the African duo, Li Dai has no plans to fight for the men ’s 10,000-meter medal. Kenya and Ethiopia are too strong. This obvious gap in strength is not something Li Dai can make up for in the short term. Understand.

The results of the competition were not unexpected. Kenyans took the top two, Ethiopians won three or four. The long-distance race is still dominated by African heroes. There is an athlete in the United States competing for the fifth place, which is also a good result.

After the men ’s 10,000 meters, it is the men ’s 800 meters semi-final. Kenyan players are still very strong. All three players have reached the finals. The US team also has two people to advance. If there is no accident, the gold medal will be between Kenya and the US team. Determined.

Then came the finale of today's game, the women's 100-meter trapeze battle.

……

Li Dai's eyes turned to a black man not far away. This man's beard and hair were already white, let alone, he was more than sixty years old.

"That person is the head coach of the Jamaica team, Fraser?" Li Dai asked the American team leader Downey next to him.

"Yes, he is Fraser." Downey nodded.

Downey has served as the leader of the US team more than once, so he has recognized many coaches from other countries, especially Jamaica, which is the biggest competitor of the United States in sprinting.

"Coach Fraser is a legendary figure in track and field and has cultivated no less than ten world champions, including the world's first flying man, Gitter. I had just graduated, and when I was following coach Xue Li in the national team, I knew Fraser and Coach Xue Li admired him very much. I did n’t expect that I would be able to compete with him in just a few years. ”Li Dai secretly said.

At the same time, on the Jamaican team, Fraser ’s deputy also reminded: "Coach, the head coach of the US team is watching you!"

"Look at me! Is that Chinese coach trying to provoke me!" Fraser turned his head to look at Li Dai, deliberately widening his eyes, showing a stern look.

However, Frazer did not expect that Li Dai just smiled at him, and smiled very friendly.

Frazer immediately felt a punch on cotton.

On the other side, Li Dai patted his chest gently and said to himself, "This Jamaican grandfather is so fierce!"

……

The Jamaican team is bound to win this gold medal. For this reason, they sent double insurance. These two female trapezes are also the first and second ranked players in the world.

The United States team, because of the impact of the doping scandal, has a considerable loss of strength.

Every time a doping scandal erupts in the United States, sprinting is the most affected, because stimulants should always be the biggest benefit for sprinters. In the case of a 100-meter sprint, an increase of 0.1 seconds is equivalent to a rise in the level of several grades.

So although the US team has two athletes in the finals, it is not enough to threaten the Jamaican team. If the Jamaican team only has a "strong point", Li Dai may bet on luck, maybe the Jamaican player is in a bad state, the US team can win a gold medal, but the Jamaican team is given "double insurance" "Li Dai simply never challenged the Jamaican team.

The result is as predicted by the outside world. Jamaicans took the gold and silver medals, and the American players got a bronze medal, which is also a reward.

……

"I got one gold, one silver and two bronzes today, which is pretty good." Li Dai was quite satisfied with the US team's record on this day. He stretched out and prepared to return to the hotel to rest.

At this time, a list of athletes for the next event appeared on the big screen of Maracanã Stadium.

"Almost forgot, there is a women's heptathlon event, there should be only 800 meters left. After this project, the gold medal of women's heptathlon will be born. This project also has American players participating , Then I'll wait until the game is over. "

Men's Decathlon and Women's Heptathlon have been two items that Li Dai has not paid much attention to. Of course, this does not mean that these two projects are not important, but because these two projects are really too complicated, Li Dai did not focus so much on these two projects.

When Li Dai accepted the US national team, it was only one month away from the opening of the Olympic Games, and there were still many young rookies and athletes in the US team who needed training and needed to improve their performance as quickly as possible. on. Take the men's decathlon as an example, including 100 meters sprint, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 meters running, 110 meters hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, 1500 meters running, the same time and energy To pay, training a decathlon athlete can only get one gold medal, Li Dai is better to train these ten individual athletes, maybe he can get a few more gold medals.

And the training of the all-around project is a long-term accumulation process, not by short-term assault training, you can make the achievements by leaps and bounds.

If a single item, such as a 110-meter hurdle, such as a javelin shot, improves your technical shortcomings slightly, the improved performance may increase the athlete's level by one grade.

But the all-round project is the accumulation of multiple individual events. The improvement of a single event will be shared among other projects. At this time, the improvement of the performance will be less obvious, and it is definitely not enough to let the athlete's level increase by one grade.

In modern sports, the professional requirements of athletes are getting higher and higher, and the situation of one person playing multiple roles in track and field sports is becoming less and less. In the 1980s and 1990s, sprinters and long jumpers abounded. Even in the 21st century, there are many kinds of long jumpers and triple jumpers. But now, such cross-project players are almost gone. 100 meters in the sprint and 200 meters in the run, 800 meters in the middle run and 1500 meters in the run, 5000 meters in the long run and 10,000 meters, or 10,000 meters in the marathon, 20 kilometers and 50 kilometers in the race, which is probably the only thing left. Has multiple jobs.

An athlete may have a great athletic talent, but after all, one's energy is limited. It is already very difficult to get the world's top achievement in one of the sports. Once engaged in multiple projects, the results It is impossible to reach the top level in the world. The so-called "Almighty" also means "Almighty."

Developed countries in Europe and America have always been the most powerful countries in all-round events. This sport must comprehensively test athletes ’speed, explosiveness, strength, flexibility, bounce, endurance, balance and other indicators. Whites obviously have to be stronger. Their The explosive power, jumping ability and endurance are stronger than the yellow race, and the flexibility, balance and strength are stronger than the black people. It is very suitable for this kind of exercise that tests the comprehensive ability.

……

The sequence of women's heptathlon is 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m run, long jump, javelin and 800m run. All games will be completed within two days. Among them, such as high jump, long jump, shot put, javelin and other field events, each person has only three opportunities, which is different from the six opportunities for individual events.

After completing each project, athletes will get corresponding scores according to the achievements of this project, such as shot put, the score obtained by throwing 20 meters and throwing 19 meters is completely different, even if an athlete gets the first place in the shot put event , But if the results are not good enough, you will not get a high score. Similarly, even if an athlete's ranking is out of several places, as long as his performance is good enough, he will get a high score.

And the final victory is to see who has the higher score. This kind of competition system also determines, even if a single defeat, as long as the other items perform well enough, they will eventually get the score back.

Now, the first six projects have ended, leaving only the last 800-meter middle distance run.

By this time of the competition, it was already possible to see the clues of the champions. The athletes had already scored before each other. Only the top scorers had the possibility of winning the championship.

The Ukrainian is currently ranked first in the score, her score is 5838, the second is a German player, the score is 5777, the third is the American player, the score is 5702, and the fourth is A Russian player with a score of 5650. The score difference between the latter players and the first place is within 200 points, and there is still a chance to hit the gold medal.

The fifth place score is 5614, and the score gap has exceeded 200 points. This is basically a difficult achievement, and it is possible to impact the medal.

The last event of women's heptathlon is 800 meters.

800-meter middle distance running, the first 100 meters of the start were run in separate lanes, after 100 meters, athletes began to merge into the innermost track, and then completed the next race. Therefore, the final performance of athletes will be largely influenced by the front runner. The speed of the front runner is faster, the performance of the athlete is better, the speed of the front runner is slower, and the performance of the athlete is worse. In the official 800-meter preliminary or rematch, there is often a case where the group with the best performance advances to the third place. At this time, the third place in the slower group must suffer.

In view of this characteristic of 800 meters, in the women's heptathlon, 800 meters are arranged in the last event, and according to the score grouping, the eight best performers will be divided into the same group competition, so that they will not lead because of The inconsistent speed of the test results in some of them falling behind in their scores and ultimately losing money when calculating their scores.

Men's decathlon is also the same. 1500 meters is not a split run, so it is arranged in the last event, and the people with the best performance will be divided into the same group.

First appeared in the eight people with the lowest score.

"It's not unreasonable for these eight people to have the scores at the end, but it can be seen from the 800-meter score that the best is just 2 minutes and 14 seconds." Li Dai shook his head slightly as he looked at the results of the players.

Athletes in the all-around event had lower performances than athletes who specialized in individual training. Among the eight worst, the results were naturally even worse. If you are a female athlete who specializes in 800 meters, in the Olympic finals, you can basically run within 2 minutes.

In the second round, the athletes were in a better situation. The best score reached 2 minutes, 13 seconds and 65. Afterwards, the runners in the third round, the front runner, kept pressing the speed. The best score in this group was 2 minutes and 15 Seconds away.

The results of the fourth group of players ranked 9th to 16th. In theory, if their results are good enough, there is hope to get a medal, so this group of athletes are also very hard to run, and several players have achieved results After 2 minutes and 10 seconds, the first place is a score of 2 minutes, 08 seconds and 55. According to the scoring rules, he can get more than 980 points.

Finally, the best eight people came up.

Li Dai used a morale-improving book for the American team athletes and began to watch the game with peace of mind. Although the American team ranked third, but behind the first place by a full 136 points, this is not an easy gap to catch up.

However, what Li Dai did not expect was that the Ukrainian player who ranked first seemed to be not very good at running 800 meters. After the merger, she even fell to the last place.

"Is she keeping her strength on purpose? It is possible, after all, she is now 61 points ahead of the second and 136 points ahead of the third. It is normal to seek stability." Li Dai thought secretly.

However, after more than a minute, Li Dai found that his judgment was wrong. This Ukrainian player is really not good at 800 meters.

In contrast, American players have always been in the top three positions.

"There is a play in this game!" Li Dai suddenly realized this.

The players rushed into the final straight and started the sprint, and Li Dai couldn't help standing up to cheer for his team members.

In the end, the first person to cross the finish line was the Russian. Her score was 2 minutes, 06 seconds and 50, followed by the American player. Her score was 2 minutes, 07 seconds and 34. The gap between the two sides is only 0.84 seconds, and their previous scores are 52 points apart.

"2 minutes 07 seconds 34, which can almost get 1000 points. The Russians are 0.84 seconds faster than us. There should not be an advantage of 52 points. The Russians' overall score will not exceed the United States." Li Dai made the first time To judge.

Li Dai is now concerned about the second German player and the first Ukrainian player. The second German player leads the United States by 75 points, while the first Ukrainian leads the United States by 136 points.

The performance of the German player is very bad, only 2 minutes 15 seconds 21, she is not good at running 800 meters.

"2 minutes 15 seconds 21, according to the scores of the previous rounds of athletes, this score should be less than 900 points. As long as we get 975 points, it surpasses the Germans." Li Daixin calculated the electric light flint.

"I just estimated that our players should be able to get a score of about 1,000 points. In this case, we have also won the German, and we are now in second place."

Li Dai calculated all this, and probably only took more than a second. At this time, ~ www.readwn.com ~ The first-ranked Ukrainian player has also crossed the finish line. She is still the last one, with a score of 2. Min 17 seconds 72.

"Before we were 136 points away from Ukraine, the Ukrainian only ran 2 minutes 17 seconds 72, this score should be between 850 points and 870 points. If my player got 1000 points, then this Ukrainian only needs to get 865 points to win the championship! "

Thinking of this, Li Dai's heart hung up, and the final result had not yet come out. He did not know whether his player could surpass this Ukrainian to become the first place. He looked anxiously towards the big screen.

Athletes' achievements are counted as scores and appear on the big screen.

"2 minutes 07 seconds 34, got 1004 points, our final score is 6706 points!"

"German is 2 minutes, 15 seconds 21, got 890 points, the final score is 6667 points, less than us!"

"The Ukrainian only ran 2 minutes, 17 seconds and 72 seconds and got 855 points. His final score was 6693 points, 13 points less than us! We won!"

Li Dai clenched his fists in excitement.

He did not expect that for the last project today, the US team got another gold medal, and it was still a project that Li Dai did not pay much attention to.

This is an extra bonus!
