Born to Run

Chapter 114: Strong opponent!

   "I have advanced to the finals!"

   Yeqin gently punched the plastic track. Before the results came out, he felt that he should be in the finals. In the end, he and the British Jamal Ken were the only ones left.

   But before the results came out, he felt a little unsure, and he wanted to see how far he was from Jamal Ken.

   0.12 seconds!

"Next game, I should be able to do it faster." Ye Qin silently looked at Jamal Ken, who was a little cheering. This player is also black, not tall, but very stout, but compared to what he saw in the past few days. The other black contestants of, the skin color does not seem to be that dark.

   Leading to the 200m final in the semi-final group, Jamal Ken looked quite excited. 21.25 is also the best result created by the opponent.

However, Ye Qin also refreshed his own PB. His semi-final results were faster than his preliminaries. In this run, he also somewhat understood what Ye Lidong said that made him go out and meet the world. meaning.

   If you want to improve, you need to go to a larger circle and get to know better players and levels. Whether on the field or off-field training, this is a kind of excitement for yourself.

And it may be the habit of running 400 meters. The gap between the players is often relatively large, 0.2 seconds 0.3 seconds 0.5 seconds, or even one or two seconds. So when you see the 0.12 second gap between yourself and Jamal Ken, Ye Qin did not feel that this result was too far away.

   After finishing the second group semi-finals, Ye Qin did not leave the arena as before. Instead, he went to the stand of the Chinese team and found a seat.

   He also wants to see how the third group's semi-final scores are. Pay attention to your opponent, examine each other, and take a closer look at yourself. This is what Yeqin has learned through the competition and Ye Lidong and others.

   Soon the 200-meter starting line of the University of Sherbrooke Stadium ushered in the third group of the men's 200-meter semi-finals of the World Junior Championships.

   Unsurprisingly, there is the black Jamaican teenager that Yechin noticed before, Youssé Bot. This is the opponent's name. He has remembered it when he watched the preliminary results of the players.

  The yellow sprinter wears the number 290 number plate on the chest and back. It is thin and tall. Standing among the eight contestants is a bit like standing alone on a telephone pole.

   However, this thinness is only relative to his height, and the exposed arm and thigh muscle lines are still very clear, and the arm circumference and leg circumference may not be any worse than the teenagers of the same age.

   Ye Qin once heard from Nie Fangping that the selection of sprinters is generally not too high, because although tall athletes have large strides, they often start slowly and have insufficient explosive power. Large strides are more suitable for medium and long distance runs of 400 meters or more.

   But this black Jamaican teenager broke Ye Chin’s inherent impression that the other party was really too tall.

   In the small southern county town of Xiushui County, Ye Qin's height is actually not low, but compared with the other party, it is quite different.

   This is the first time Ye Chin has watched this black teenager's game. He was waiting for the opponent in the previous game. The only intersecting 400m semi-finals, the opponent retired.

After the gunshots of the game, Ye Qin saw that the opponent's start was indeed not particularly fast, but it was much better than him, and the pace was also very fast, the stride was large and powerful, and the speed quickly increased after tens of meters. , Ye Qin can feel that the opponent is faster than himself, and the absolute speed is also faster than himself.

   was almost sixty meters, still in the corner position, Ye Qin could already see that the opponent clearly surpassed the other players and easily ran to the first position.

   Soon after turning into the straight, the opponent has begun to take a long lead, and the other players behind have opened up three meters, five meters, and seven meters, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

   By the time of the last fifty meters, it was obvious that the opponent was releasing, and there was an obvious movement of looking left and right. It seemed that after confirming that there was no opponent around him, he just ran down with the inertia of the body.

   But this is the case. Yeqin was still taken aback when the time card results came out.

   21 seconds 08!

   is only slightly slower than the American player Mike Grant in the first group of the semi-finals, and this is on the premise that the opponent has a lot of water.

   "Ye Qin, how do you think he runs?"

   Zhou Bin, the leader of the team sitting in the seat next to Ye Qin, seemed to notice that Ye Qin's gaze was a little sluggish. He seemed to be looking at the black teenager who easily won the first place in the group, and suddenly asked softly.

   "I can't run him now."

   Ye Qin came back to his senses, was silent for a while, thought about it seriously, and gave the answer.

   It's nothing to be ashamed to face your opponent and yourself.

Different from the British player Jamal Ken, who he met in the semifinals just now, the opponent's 21.25 score is obviously to do his best to get this result. Even if there is a gap between Ye Qin and the opponent, he still has the possibility of catching up. .

   And this black teenager from Jamaica, he did feel that there was a huge gap. .

Watching Ye Qin's reaction, Zhou Bin pursed the corner of his mouth, showing a smile, "Don't be discouraged, this player has had a few encounters with you, and he is much better than you think. He is the youngest in 2002." The champion of the men's 200m race is also the youngest champion ever in the World Youth Championship. He won the championship in 20.61. We must know that our national men's 200m record is only 20.51."

   "Yeah." Ye Qin took a breath, and it seemed to be irritated for a moment. He really didn't expect that this black player he had run into several times would have achieved such amazing results.

"For us, you are proud of your performance in this World Junior Championships. Now you are not in the country. If there is a National High School Games, your semi-final score just now has broken the national high school student men's 200m record. "

As if afraid of hitting Ye Qin, Zhou Bin smiled and said again. He chose to participate in the World Junior Championships before. He looked at the records and results of the National Middle School Games in the past year. One of the men’s 200m records was 21.40. If you follow Ye Qin had already broken the national record for middle school students in the calculation of his grades.

   "Thank you Zhou for your guidance, I will face my shortcomings squarely and correct my mentality."

Ye Qin took a deep breath and smiled at Zhou Binqiang, but his hands on the seat were silently squeezed into fists. He stared at the arena in the distance with scorching eyes, and said silently, "I'm just now I can't run him, I have only practiced for a year, and I still have a chance later. Moreover, the finals have not yet started, so I won't give up so early."

"Oh, yes." Zhou Bin didn't pay attention to Ye Qin's actions and thoughts, or it is natural to have such a competitive idea. Instead, he talked about another thing, "Ye Qin, you are still training now. Is your high school right? It was Nie... that coach Nie Fangping instructed you, right?"

"Yes, we now have our own track and field team in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School. Coach Nie teaches us to practice track and field." Ye Qin replied, some do not quite understand what Zhou Bin means by suddenly mentioning this~www.wuxiaspot.com~your school still has it. Your own track team? "Zhou Bin is a little interested." Tell me, how about your school's track and field team? "

Many middle schools in China have organized their own track and field teams. However, according to Zhou Bin’s understanding, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is considered a third-rate high school in a small county. Minute.

To be honest, before Yeqin won the bronze medal in the men's 400m final, both he and Ye Lidong, although they paid attention to Yeqin, did not go to learn more about it, and also read the report from the Haixi Provincial News. Information and simple communication with Nie Fangping.

   "Our track and field team was established after the Provincial Youth Championship in March..." Ye Qin briefly said about the track and field team of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School.

   "It turned out to be like this, it's not easy."

After listening to Yeqin’s talk about it, Zhou Bin nodded slightly and patted Yeqin again, “Yeqin, you work hard. This is your first time going abroad in Sherbrooke. In the future, there will be many more. Second chance. And your principal is on the right path. You can already go to Yanjing and Shuimu now."

   "Huh?!" Ye Qin's eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Zhou Bin looked at Ye Qin's expression and couldn't help but laughed, "You are already a good at 400 meters, and you are almost the same at 200 meters. Don't worry, those schools will come to you. In the next two years, you can go back to school to attend classes when you have time. It’s not a bad thing to learn some cultural knowledge. However, the most important thing is to train and improve yourself. This time we are here for the World Junior Championships. Next year, I hope to take you to Italy to participate in the World Youth Championship again. Five years are our Yanjing Olympics. At that time, you were the right age, boy, work hard!"
