All-round Athlete

Chapter 222 No Training, No Winning (Fifth Watch)

The athletes from Saudi Arabia did not live in the Asian Games Village, but in a five-star hotel with a beautiful environment and first-class services in Doha, which fully demonstrated the status of a wealthy country.

Al-Bish is a 400-meter sprinter in Saudi Arabia. As an African naturalized athlete, Al-Bish quickly gained a foothold in Saudi Arabia with his strong physical talent, and also became a member of the 400-meter event in Saudi Arabia. "One Brother" on the Internet. And Al-Bish once ran within 45 seconds in the game, which is the top result in Asia.

"Tomorrow is the 400-meter final! I am really looking forward to it. If I can beat Zhang Guan tomorrow, my name will be spread all over the world!" Al-Bish thought silently.

Although Al-Bish has lived in Saudi Arabia for some years, the optimistic nature of Africans still cannot be changed. Even if sometimes the goal is completely out of reach, this does not affect the vision of this African brother for a better future.

At this time, the players of the Saudi Arabian track and field team who had finished the competition returned to the hotel one after another. Al Bish caught sight of Coach Mike Powell in the crowd.

"I just had a spa treatment, and I didn't go to the competition. I remember there was a long jump competition this afternoon. I don't know how Al Shaba and Ben Mazuk did in the jump. Did they beat Zhang Guan?" Al Bish greeted immediately past. Of course, when he got closer and saw Coach Powell's expression, Al-Bish realized that the long jump champion might have flown away.

"It seems that he did not win the long jump championship. Remember that Coach Powell's contract is 3+2, and it is about to expire this year. This time he lost the long jump championship in the Asian Games. Coach Powell may not win it in the next two years. salary." Al-Bish thought silently.

At this time, the two long jump players of the Saudi team, Al Shaba and Ben Mazuk, also came over. Bish looked up, and Al Shaba's expression was normal, but Ben Mazuk had a dull expression, looking like a mentally handicapped child.

"What's wrong with him?" Bish decided that he should step forward to care about Mazuk. Both of them are naturalized players from Kenya to Saudi Arabia. They are two events with each other. There is no competition, and their personal relationship is quite good. of.

I saw Al Bish stepped forward and greeted Ben Mazuk with a smile on his face: "Hi, Ben, how is the game today?"

Ben-Mazuk still looked sluggish, and did not give Al-Bish any response.

"Ben!" Al-Bish patted Ben-Mazuk directly on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Mazuk suddenly screamed, as if he was frightened by something, he stepped back suddenly, but accidentally stepped on the foot of a player behind him, and Mazuk suddenly lost his balance and fell directly. to the ground.

"Ben! Be careful!" Al-Bish immediately stepped forward to help Mazuk, and it was only at this time that Mazuk came back to his senses.

"Al, it's you!" Mazuk let out a long breath and stood up, but beads of sweat rolled out of his forehead.

"What's wrong with Ben?" Bish looked at Al Shaba next to him with a begging look.

"Let Ben go back to rest first!" Al Shaba said, signaling Bish to talk with his eyes.

The two walked to the sofa not far away. Before Bish had time to ask, Al Shaba took the lead and said: "In today's game, Ben was in the lead, but Zhang Guan jumped 8.7 meters and overtook him. , I think he was having a hard time accepting it for a while!"

"What? 8.7 meters? I heard it right!" Although Bish is a 400-meter sprinter, he also knows what 8.7 meters means in the long jump event.

Al Shaba told Bish about the process of the long jump competition, and Bish immediately fell silent after hearing this.

"8.7 meters, as far as I remember, no active player can jump to 8.7 meters! Zhang Guan is in such a good state, so is it possible for me to beat him in the 400-meter race tomorrow? Me and Zhang Guan There was a gap of about 1.5 seconds in the best time of the year. If it were placed before the finish line, there would be a distance of more than ten meters. I thought it was impossible for Zhang Guan to be in a good state in every game, but now it seems that Zhang Guan The form is obviously very good. It's over! Tomorrow I will lose!"

Before the game started, Al-Bish's confidence had been destroyed.

...

The track and field competition of the Doha Asian Games has entered the fourth day. On this day, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 200m preliminaries and rematch, the men's 400m final and the men's 1500m final.

The afternoon is the prime time for ratings, and the finals are usually scheduled for the afternoon, so the 200-meter preliminaries are scheduled for the morning.

Apart from Zhang Guan, the strongest athlete in Asia's 200-meter event is undoubtedly the Japanese Suezue Shingo. After all, he can run close to 20 seconds. After that, Yang Yao and Takahira Shinshi who can reach the Olympic A target player. Although there are some naturalized athletes in West Asian countries, they do not have an advantage in the 200-meter event.

The results of the preliminaries did not exceed people's expectations. All the players who should have advanced were advanced, and there were no upsets.

After the lunch break, the track and field competitions of the Asian Games continued. The first event in the afternoon was the final of the men’s pole vault. China won a bronze medal in this event, followed by the final of the women’s 100-meter hurdles. After winning the gold and silver medals, the national team had no medals in the men's discus final and the women's 400m final.

After the women's 400-meter race, the men's 400-meter final began immediately.

Two players from Saudi Arabia have entered the 400-meter final, including Al-Bish, who has completely lost confidence. In addition, there are Japanese Kanemaru Yuzo, Bahrain's Simpson, and Kuwait's Al-Shamari. .

The two players from Saudi Arabia are both African naturalized players, Bahrain's Simpson is also an African naturalized player, and Kuwait's Al Shammari is also an African naturalized player, plus the player from Cartel, eight players will participate A total of five players are naturalized athletes from Africa. There are only three players who are truly born in Asia.

When it comes to the 400-meter event, black players do have an advantage. If Zhang Guan hadn't appeared on the stage, perhaps black players would have won the gold, silver and bronze medals at the same time. With Zhang Guan on the stage, the situation is completely different. The gold medal is definitely not in suspense. The other players can only work hard to win the silver and bronze medals.

Except for Zhang Guan, no one else has ever run within 44.50 seconds. Compared with the world record held by Zhang Guan, their best results are generally more than 1.5 seconds behind. This can be said to be several grades behind in strength. , so Zhang Guan easily won the championship with a time of less than 44 seconds. Al-Bish from Saudi Arabia in second place and Simpson from Bahrain in third place were all within 45.5 seconds.

The men's 400m final made many West Asian viewers feel dull. Five West Asian players participated, and all naturalized legions looked very imposing. In the end, the fastest one was also dropped by nearly ten meters by Zhang Guan. distance. But domestic audiences enjoyed it very much. Zhang Guan took the lead all the way to win the gold medal, which was exactly what everyone expected.

In the next women's 400-meter hurdles competition, the Chinese player won another gold medal, while the runner-up was taken by the Japanese player; in the subsequent men's 400-meter hurdles, the rankings of China and Japan changed positions, and the Japanese player won the gold medal. Champion, while China chose to win a silver medal.

Soon, the time came to 7:00 p.m. Doha time, and the gold medal competition for the last track and field event of this competition day was about to begin, which was the men's 1500m final.

...

The men's 1,500-meter final is about to be held, but Director Ma's mood is very complicated at this time.

In the pre-competition evaluation made by the Field Management Center, the shorter the distance, the greater the advantage of Zhang Guan, and as the distance becomes longer, the advantage of Zhang Guan gradually decreases, so Zhang Guan is the most unlikely The event that won the gold medal is the 1500-meter middle-distance run.

Prior to this, Director Ma and Zhang Guan negotiated that if Zhang Guan could not win all the gold medals in the six individual events, he would not be allowed to participate in the middle-distance running events in the future, but practice sprinting with peace of mind. From this point of view, Director Ma hoped that Zhang Guan The crown cannot win this gold medal, but in fact, as the head coach of the national track and field team, how could he want his players to lose the game?

So Director Ma was very conflicted at this time, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted Zhang Guan to win or Zhang Guan to lose.

Director Yu seemed to have already seen the hesitation in Director Ma's heart. He walked over quietly, pretending to sigh and said: "The 1500-meter level of the West Asian athletes should be the top in the world, especially Ramzi. But the Shuangliao champion of the World Championships! And Zhang Guan doesn't seem to have done any mid-distance running training these days."

"En?" Director Ma frowned suddenly, carefully pondering what the director said.

"Old Yu seems to be quite right. The middle-distance running level of West Asian countries is indeed the top in the world. Recently, Zhang Guan has never practiced middle-distance running at all. He even pushed the middle-distance running coach assigned to him. This can be regarded as running around with talent! It should be said that it is not easy to enter the final. However, if you want to win gold in this event, I am afraid it is impossible. There are several opponents in the final He has won the rankings in the competition, and he is also the double champion of the World Championships..." Director Ma felt relieved when he thought of this, and then shook his head like a self-deprecating: "It seems that I think too much, and I am right Zhang Guan's expectations are too high. Zhang Guan didn't do any training before the game, how could he win Ramzi!"
