Born to Run

　　 Ye Qin has only one idea in his mind since he started, and this trip must show his best level.

　　 Compared to the previous test at the Xiushui County Stadium, the short encounters over the past few days have caused a great shock to the heart of the teenager at some point.

　　 In his more than ten years of life, he has been missing the role of a father.

　　 In the past, maybe it was the grandfather or the uncle playing at home, but he entered Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, touched track and field, touched sprinting, and gradually this image seemed to fall on Nie Fangping.

In a few months, perhaps in some respects, it was still far from the feeling of his family, but Ye Qin couldn’t forget how Nie Fangping hated iron and steel when he gave up going to the Vanguard Sports Association. Remember to be in Nanxiu. The scene when Nie Fangping pushed a nutritious meal in front of him during the market training. I remember that after the 200-meter comparison that day, Tongshi Wen said that Nie Fangping would go back to the newly formed track and field team of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School as the coach.

He can see exactly how Nie Fangping is by himself. Just as coach Zheng Kaifeng from Nanxiu City once said, if coach Nie is willing to lower his head and close one eye, how can he not be in the sports system? Ten years, when he was about to retire, he was still an ordinary sports school coach.

　　 But such a person brought him to Yanjing, facing a trial competition where there was no short-distance event, but he was so conscientious and talked to others with a smile.

　　 The last people who would do these things for him were grandpa and brother-in-law. Grandpa must be strong for a lifetime, but when he was in high school, he looked down and helped him find other aunts to borrow tuition.

　　 Uncle, not to mention, he is still ignorant in elementary and junior high school, and his skin is not good enough. Whenever he gets into trouble, it's not that the uncle will come forward to accompany him to the aftermath with a smile.

　　 And now, in his life, there is another person.

　　 An old man who has no blood relationship, but can bow his head for him and others.

　　 Nie Fangping, his coach.

　　 On the track, Ye Qin increased his speed step by step, and all the points he learned about sprinting seemed to pop up in his mind for an instant.

　　 Accelerate at corners, pay attention to the center of gravity and swing arms, control your speed and physical distribution, regardless of whether there are other opponents around, they are in the position. In the 400-meter race, before the last straight, the relationship between the number of stretches before the start will make it easy for you to run the rhythm with other runners.

　　 There is no opponent on this trip, he is the only one running, but he also has to control his speed and rhythm.

　　 Ye Qin knew that there was a fire in his heart, it was burning, and it was burning fiercely.

　　……

　　 Near the finish line, Zhou Bin, who has been following Ye Qin's pace in the middle of the track and field, has ran over.

　　 Looking at the boy who was able to sprint again in the last tens of meters, he almost wanted to shout.

　　 It's not that he has never seen such a performance from a top player, but the kind of unexpected joy that he just felt to deal with it and hastily, but suddenly saw a beautiful jade appear in front of him.

　　As soon as Ye Qin crossed the finish line, Zhou Bin ran from the center of the field in almost a few steps, and shouted at Ye Lidong who was helping with the timing: "Guide Ye, what are the results, what are the results?"

　　 When Ye Lidong looked at the results, he was a bit speechless for a while.

　　 "47 seconds 82!"

　　 Zhou Bin let out a long sigh when he heard this result, with such an expression on his face, he almost blurted out:

　　 "Not bad, at this age and at this level, I hope to rush forward in the future!"

At the current large-scale National Games National Championships in China, the men’s 400-meter level is generally concentrated in about 46 seconds. Occasionally, there are a few top players who can run in less than 46 seconds, but such players are also among the billions of people in the country. Few people, whether it is a national team or a professional team, more often at 46 seconds and 47 seconds.

　　 The national record for men's 400 meters for middle school students is 47.5. Xu Zhiyu set it in 1999. The national record was 45.25. It was also set by Xu Zhiyu in the East Asian Games in 2002.

　　 With Ye Qin's current performance, he is almost another Xu Zhiyu, and may even be stronger than the opponent in potential. After all, Xu Zhiyu ran 47.5 in his third year of high school, and Ye Qin is only a freshman now.

　　 It can be said that Ye Qin's performance on this trip is definitely the top level among the current domestic youth group.

　　 The men’s 400m event is a very weak event in China. In the current domestic men's sprint races of 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters are extremely weak events.

　　 To be honest, if you can run for 48 seconds, you will have a chance to enter the semi-finals at the National Games. But in Asia, this competitiveness is really not good, let alone the world.

　　 But this refers to the adult range. It is already a great achievement for a few people to have such a level in the adolescent stage.

　　 Zhou Bin himself remembers very clearly. He read the scores and data of the contestants in the 2002 Middle School Games. At that time, if I remember correctly, the second and third places in the men's 400 meters seemed to be 47.78 and 47.93.

And these athletes are all the most important players in the local teams at all levels. After all, there are still many athletes from sports schools and professional teams participating in the middle school games at this time. Their results can also enter the semi-finals and the National Games. Final.

When he looked at the performance of the students in the Middle School Games, he had never thought of finding some suitable students to participate in the World Junior Games, but unfortunately the people who participated in the Middle School Games in 2002 were basically in the second and third year of the competition last year. , By this time period of this year, basically all are beyond the age range.

　　 It’s almost the same to participate in the World Youth Athletics Championships, but the level of players in the World Youth Championship is far higher than that of the World Junior Championships.

　　 "Can you try?"

　　Although it is not an electronic timekeeping result, both Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin see this result well. I dare not say that they will win prizes, but they are definitely qualified as contestants in the World Junior Championships.

In the official competitions of the world track, there are many strong players from all walks of life, but in the youth stage, many things are really possible. In many cases, the youth competition is not only about training and level, but also the development of people at this stage. degree.

　　 After all, the closer the physical condition of adolescents is to adults, the higher the stability of their performance. As for the future development, that is another topic.

　　 But now this result has basically been in 48 seconds, and there is still a good chance of entering the finals in competitions like the World Junior Championships.

　　 In short-distance track events, for domestic athletes, entering the final is basically a victory. In a world-class sprint event, it is already several inspiring things to have a Chinese athlete qualified to stand on the final track.

　　 "Coach Zhou, what do you think?"

　　 Ye Lidong was also surprised by Ye Qin's performance, but he had been away from the track and field for a few years after all, and he couldn't pay attention for a while, turned his head and looked at Zhou Bin.

　　 "Fully qualified to participate." Zhou Bin still replied with some excitement.

　　 It is the first time that he has seen such an outstanding 400-meter young athlete in person in so many years. He is fully qualified to compete.

　　 "However, it may not be easy to win a medal. After all, the opponents are talents cultivated by European and American track and field powers, but if you play just now, it is very promising to enter the finals."

　　Athletics, the most prone to achieve results in China are throwing events and long-distance running events. In other events, there is a big gap compared with foreign countries. Both of them have seen Ye Qin's potential, but they still hesitate to join.

　　 Ye Lidong once again walked to Ye Qin, who was panting and taking a break, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

　　 Ye Qin is sixteen years old this year. He is black and thin, and he is quite tall, but he doesn't seem to be fully opened yet, and there is still a bit of childishness on his face that has not been completely removed.

　　 This is also in line with the developmental status of the yellow race. Compared with many European and American players of the same age, they are much immature.

　　 They have seen a lot of European and American players before. Some white and black teenagers look like adults. Some are precocious with shaggy beards, but they look older than people in their twenties or thirties.

　　 The two looked at Ye Qin a few more times. At this time, competitions like the World Junior Championships were called internal selections and were pushed by various units, but it was not surprising that the default was to say. After all, one is a world-class competition, and local teams are less interested in themselves and are not particularly willing to send talents. Moreover, the age of entering the professional team is generally over the line, and the main team composition is still from the sports school. As for sports schools, there are generally more choices across the country that are more closely cooperative, or there are coaches who have brought achievements.

Coach Wang Shouyang from Southern Jiangsu Province~www.ltnovel.com~ also comes from the following local sports school, but the young athletes who have brought out throwing events in the nineteen years have achieved very good results. He has won the World Middle School Games Grand Prize. Naturally When there is such a world-class youth competition, the team's priority is also this one.

　　 But now, Ye Qin is running in front of two people, and the results are also timed by Ye Lidong. These things cannot be faked. And the other party's previous results, the Haixi Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, and the City Middle School Games, these results are all there.

　　 Looking at Ye Lidong's expression, Zhou Bin seemed to have a bit of intent, and whispered: "Director Ye, the roster has not been reported yet. It will definitely be okay for the contestants to add people."

　　 "Then add one."

　　 Ye Lidong thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

As he said, Ye Lidong turned his head and looked at the pair of masters and apprentices on the edge of the runway, and said slowly: "No matter what the results are, we have to give the people below some opportunities. If there are such coaches, we How can it be impossible to cultivate talents!"

　　 An old coach who is about to retire, took an ordinary high school student from Haixi Province to Yanjing to participate in the trials, and then found that there was no 400m event in the trials. Ye Lidong could figure out how much hardship the two had gone through.

　　 And the old coach, after he appeared on the track and field, ran all the way to plead. Such scenes, to be honest, are really rare. In the past, some athletes made mistakes, or parents came to beg the coach to accept. But Ye Lidong had to admire what the coach did.

　　 There are some things outsiders don’t understand, but he himself is in this position, how can he not know.

　　 Maxima is often present, but Bole is not often present.

　　 Athletes are talented, and the old coach he can meet is even more rare!
