All-round Athlete

Chapter 227 Take the bait

After breakfast, Coach Virgil called Carmel, Ramzi and others to the conference room of the hotel, and then began to play videos of Zhang Guan's recent games.

"How, what do you see? Have you noticed Zhang Guan's weakness?" Coach Virgil asked.

Carmel and Ramzi looked at each other, apparently not realizing what Coach Virgil called "Zhang Guan's weakness".

"Coach, you'd better just say it straight!" Carmel said anxiously.

Coach Virgil smiled slightly, pressed the remote control, and continued: "This is the 1500-meter preliminary race, Carmel, the four of you have been leading alternately at the front, and Zhang Guan fell to the bottom of the team at first. Then Starting here, he used this straight line to run to the front..."

"Look at the 1500m final, Ramzi, you accelerated at this time, Suleiman and Najem did not choose to follow up, but Zhang Guan followed up..."

At this point, Coach Virgil raised his head and said excitedly: "You see it! Zhang Guan likes to follow the leader or the leader group very much, even if the leader or the leader group run more Hurry up, even if you break away from the main force, Zhang Guan will follow."

"Coach, you mean that Zhang Guan likes to follow people who run faster?" Ramzi grasped the point sensitively.

"You're right." Coach Virgil nodded: "Zhang Guan should be very confident in his ability to follow and sprint, so he uses this method. According to my observation, Zhang Guan's The essence of the run-and-run tactics is to ensure not to lag behind the leading group in the follow-up, and to overtake at the end by relying on strong speed and sprinting ability."

"But this kind of running requires very high physical fitness?" Carmel asked.

Coach Virgil nodded tacitly and said, "That's right, but Zhang Guan is obviously the most physically fit athlete in the world. So in today's 800-meter race, if we want to beat Zhang Guan, we must take advantage of his weaknesses."

"Coach, what do we need to do?" Carmel asked immediately.

"We may need to sacrifice one person." Coach Virgil looked at Ramzi while talking, and then continued: "We need a player who takes the lead at the beginning of the game, and then uses all his energy to carry on. Take the lead quickly, lure Zhang Guan to follow, and greatly consume Zhang Guan's physical strength, so as to create opportunities for other players. But in this case, the leading player may not be able to run the entire race due to excessive physical exertion .”

Ramzi took a deep breath, and Coach Virgil looked at him and said, obviously he made himself the victim.

That's exactly what Coach Virgil meant. Both Carmel and Ramzi have won the 800-meter world championship, and their strengths in the 800-meter event are almost the same, but Ramzi just participated in a 1500-meter final yesterday, and Kamel It took a whole day of rest, so Carmel must be better than Ramzi in terms of pre-match preparation.

At the same time, Ramz has been in the leading position in yesterday's 1500m final. If Ramz uses the same tactics again in today's 800m final, it will be more convincing and more likely to lure Zhang Guan to catch up. Considering the above two points, Ramzi is the best candidate to be a bait player.

Although Ramzi didn't want to be the bait, he knew that in order for the Bahrain team to win, he had to be the victim.

...

On the morning of December 11, in addition to the men's 200m semi-finals, there was also the men's 110m hurdles preliminaries, so Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren appeared on the track and field at the same time.

For Zhang Guan, the 200-meter semi-final was like an appetizer, and Liu Feiren, who hadn't participated in the competition for a long time, also ran very unsatisfactory. However, Zhang Guan still has the 200-meter final and the 800-meter final to run in the afternoon, and if Liu Feiren wants to have fun on the field, he has to wait until tomorrow.

At 4:00 p.m. Doha time, the men's 200-meter race officially started. Judging from the strength of the athletes, there is no doubt that Zhang Guan will win the championship. Among other players, Suezue Shingo of the Japanese team is the strongest player besides Zhang Guan. It should be no problem to win a silver medal.

The bronze medal battle will be held between Yang Yao of the national team and Shinji Takahira of the Japanese team. So this 200-meter sprint contest, in the final analysis, became a Sino-Japanese war. In the end, Yang Yao lived up to expectations and defeated Gao Ping Shenshi by 0.1 seconds and won the bronze medal in the 200-meter race.

Immediately afterwards, at an hour, Zhang Guan ushered in his sixth gold medal match in this Asian Games, the men's 800m final. This is also the last single event of middle distance running.

Zhang Guan looked at the athletes around him. Several of them had competed in the previous 800m preliminaries or 1500m races, such as Bahrain's Kamel and Ramzi, and Qatar's Suleiman. Other contestants include Kuwait's Al-Arzemi, Iran's Mooreh Jae, Saudi Arabia's Al-Shalih and Japan's Yokota Masato.

Today's pre-match atmosphere is very different from yesterday's. Before yesterday's 1,500-meter race, no one thought that Zhang Guan would win the 1,500-meter championship. Both the players and the audience valued Zhang Guan's fame rather than his strength.

But Zhang Guan broke the Asian record of 1500 meters in yesterday's competition, which not only surprised everyone, but also made the contestants feel deeply afraid. In today's 800 meters event, Zhang Guan suddenly became the champion of the championship. The number one favorite even overwhelmed Carmel, the World Cup champion in track and field.

The contestants quickly completed their preparations and occupied the starting line one after another.

"Onyourmarks...set..." The starter raised the starting gun, and then pulled the trigger. With a gunshot, the game officially started.

The first 100 meters are run in lanes, so the runners don't have to worry about grabbing lanes. But from the perspective of tactical selection, if you want to occupy a better position in the back, running a little faster in lanes is a good choice.

"Look, Ramzi! Ramzi's speed is very fast, is he going to grab the leading position again?"

Some people have noticed that Ramzi's speed is indeed faster than other players, and he is indeed the first to cross the breakline, and then quickly moved to the innermost track, and began to enter the leading state.

Subsequent runners also began to change lanes after crossing the lane-grabbing line. Although there were four fewer runners in the 800-meter race than in the 1,500-meter race, they were even more ferocious in grabbing positions. Because there are only two laps in the 800-meter race, excluding the start, strong track and sprint, the real distance to follow in a large group is only more than 400 meters, so it is particularly important to occupy a good position.

"Look, Carmel made a mistake!"

I saw that Carmel hesitated a little while changing lanes, and then was blocked by Kuwaiti player Al-Alzemi, and had to follow in the final position.

The audience at the scene immediately burst into exclamation. Carmel is the champion of this year's Athletics World Cup. Before the Asian Games, he was regarded as the number one favorite to win the 800-meter event. Afterwards, even though Zhang Guan suddenly emerged, it still did not affect everyone's continued optimism on Carmel. People still feel that Carmel will win the final championship.

However, this high-profile player actually made a mistake at the beginning of the game and was stuck in the last position.

At the end of the 200 meters, the athletes all completed the lane change. At this time, the athletes' physical strength was relatively sufficient, and they followed each other relatively closely, and then the athletes entered the curve. At the moment of entering the corner, the leading Ramzi began to speed up.

"Ramzi has sped up again! Could it be that he is still using the same tactics as yesterday, leading all the way to the finish line?"

Everyone at the scene thought of Ramzi yesterday. In yesterday's 1500-meter final, Ramzi led from the very beginning and used a higher speed throughout the whole process. Judging from the results, Ramzi's tactics yesterday It was very successful, he broke the Asian record and also created a personal best result. If Zhang Guan did not appear suddenly, Ramzi's tactics yesterday could even be regarded as a textbook case for mid-range running.

In yesterday's 1,500-meter race, after Ramzi increased his speed, the players did not keep up. They thought that Ramzi was using a gambling method, so in the final sprint, Ramzi even led the third place With such a big gap of 20 meters away from Najim, it was already too late to catch up. Only Zhang Guan followed Ramzi closely, and the final match became a contest between Zhang Guan and Ramzi. Others, such as Suleiman, Najim, etc., even if they had spare energy, they could only watch. in a hurry.

Therefore, in today's 800-meter final, when Ramzi speeded up again, whether it was the contestants, coaches from various countries or the audience, they all thought that Ramzi was using the same tactics as yesterday.

"Catch up. You can't make yesterday's mistakes today. You didn't follow Ramz all the way yesterday, so you were pulled too far away by Ramz." Suleiman, who participated in yesterday's 1,500-meter final, took the lead Responding, he speeded up and caught up with Ramzi.

Afterwards, other players also made the same choice, only Carmel, who was ranked last, only slightly increased his speed, and seemed to be reluctant to follow.

But Carmel is the last athlete, and obviously none of the players in front will pay attention to Carmel's movements.

"The tactic is successful! It seems that not only Zhang Guan, but also other players have taken the bait!" Although Coach Virgil was very excited at this time, he was extremely nervous in his heart. He was very worried that his intention would be taken by others. The coach sees through.
