All-round Athlete

Chapter 18 Breakthroughs and Interviews

"Nani?" Shin Takano exclaimed in Japanese.

Originally, Zhang Guan and Hiroyuki Tsuchie were going hand in hand, which surprised Shin Takano very much. Although Hiroyuki Tsuchie was the weakest among the three players sent by Japan for the 100-meter event, Susumu Takano insisted that athletes from other Asian countries No one will be faster than Tujiang Kuanyu. Moreover, Tsue Yuto is the main player in the 200-meter event, so he should be stronger in the second half of the race. Takano Susumu always believes that in the second half of the race, Tue Kanyu will definitely be able to shake off Zhang Guan.

But Zhang Guan became faster.

The duration of the newly upgraded sprint skill has doubled again. The master sprint can keep Zhang Guan in the sprint state for 40 seconds, and the more important effect has been improved to a certain extent again.

With more than 30 meters left to the finish line, Zhang Guan opened a wide distance from Tujiang with a strong effort. Gao Yejin, who was on the sidelines, was just stunned and found that Zhang Guan had already surpassed Tujiang A lot of room.

Tujiang Kuanyu on the track already felt Zhang Guan's speed change the moment Zhang Guan accelerated. He wanted to catch up, but found that his speed had reached the limit, and he could only watch Zhang Guan surpass him.

"Baga, he obviously has a faster speed than me, but he deliberately wants to keep pace with me, and wait until I have tried my best before surpassing me! He is playing me." Tujiang Yuyu suddenly felt a burst of humiliation Feelings well up in my heart. But he knew that he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan's speed.

"This speed is probably comparable to Senior Asahara (Xuanzhi Asahara) and Jun Mo (Shenwu Moxu). I never imagined that someone in the Chinese team could run so fast." Tu Jiang looked at Zhang Guan with grief and indignation, and Zhang Crown slowed down a little before the finish line, but still crossed the line first.

...

Even Zhang Guan himself had huge waves in his heart.

"Is this the effect of the master sprint skill? It's so powerful!"

As the person involved, Zhang Guan could feel the power of a master-level sprint, especially after fully exerting all his strength, the airflow driven by the running would continuously fly past his ears. Although he couldn't hear it clearly at all, it made him feel intoxicated.

Zhang Guan really wanted to try his best, but his rationality told him not to run too fast, as long as he broke the national record, it was enough.

...

"Good job! Overtaken! Come on! First!" Chen Jian looked at Zhang Guan crossing the finish line first, shaking the towel in his hand excitedly, cheering loudly, while the players or coaches of other national teams next to him There were also bursts of applause.

In contrast, Takano Susumu next to him looked very ugly, his eyes were waiting for Zhang Guan, as if he was about to spew fire. Then Takano Shin looked at the scoreboard and carefully watched the numbers on it.

Tujiang Yuyu ran a time of 10.17 seconds. This time is definitely a fast speed. If placed in the Olympic Games, it would be enough to enter the second round. Tujiang Yuyu rarely achieves such a good level in competitions.

But Zhang Guan was faster than Tujiang Yuyu. He ran out of 10.09 seconds and broke through the 10.10 mark. As a result, Zhang Guan once again broke his own national record and won the A skill point reward.

...

Kobayashi Kobayashi, the head coach of Japan who had just finished the interview with the reporter, walked out of the athlete's tunnel. Seeing that the game was over, he subconsciously looked at the big screen where the results were recorded.

"10.09 seconds, who is it that ran into the 10.10 seconds mark. Could it be Mr. Tujiang?" Kobayashi Jinghe was overjoyed, but then found that the name in front of the score was not Tujiang Yuyu.

"Zhang Guan? Chinese? The one who broke China's 100-meter record!" Keiko Kobayashi and coach Sensitively felt that something was wrong, so they ran all the way to find Takano Susumu, just in time to meet Yuyu Tue who was leaving the field.

"Mr. Tujiang, what's going on? What happened on the field just now?" Kobayashi Jinghe asked impatiently.

"Coach, I'm very sorry, I've let you down." Tujiang Toroyuki immediately bowed and apologized.

Takano Susumu also came over and said, "Coach, it's not Tue-kun's fault. Tue-kun ran 10.17 seconds, which is already a very good performance in his game. But I didn't expect that the guy named Zhang Guan's young Chinese players will be so fast."

Takano Jin told Kobayashi Keikazu the story of the game just now, Kobayashi Keikazu sighed after listening, and said to Tsuchie Hiroyuki: "Tuie-kun, you didn't get the first place, this is not a crime of war, you have done it already. It's very good, and you helped us test out the opponent's strength, so that Mr. Chaoyuan and Mr. Suxu won't be at a loss when facing him. Don't worry about it, go down and have a good rest. Don't forget that you still have 200 meters project competition."

Tujiang Yuyu left first, while Takano Shin walked up to Kobayashi Keikazu and asked, "Coach, I will arrange for someone to investigate Zhang Guan's detailed information as soon as I go back."

"No hurry." Xiao Lin Jinghe waved his hand: "Look, there are people who are more anxious than us."

Takano Shin fell asleep and looked in the direction Kobayashi Keikazu pointed, and found two reporters walking towards the Chinese team with shooting equipment and microphones.

"I know them. They are the official reporters of the Asian Athletics Association." Takano Shin said.

Kobayashi Jinghe smiled meaningfully: "The time of 10.09 seconds should be ranked in the top ten among the current best Asian results! Among Asian athletes, as long as they can run under 10.10 seconds, it is no small feat. The Athletics Association should pay attention to it. And today’s game is too dull, even the official will not give up this news point.”

...

Chen Jian excitedly rushed to Director Yu, dancing like a child and said, "Director Yu, did you see that Zhang Guan ran 10 seconds 09 and broke the mark of 10 seconds 10!"

Director Yu looked very calm. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "I saw it. It ran well."

But no one noticed that Director Yu's trembling hands in his pockets had already betrayed his mood at the moment.

When the starting reaction time was displayed, Director Yu had guessed that Zhang Guan could run better than before. Zhang Guan once broke the national record with 10.16 seconds. At that time, Zhang Guan’s starting reaction time was about 0.3 seconds. Now the starting reaction time of 0.153 seconds is nearly 0.15 seconds faster than before. From this, Director Yu calculated that Zhang Guan’s real time should be in Just over 10 seconds. However, the state of the athletes fluctuates. Director Yu believes that if Zhang Guan wants to achieve a time close to 10 seconds, it should be when he is in a better state.

But the result of 10.09 seconds obviously exceeded the expectations of the director. This is not only another new national record, but also the result of entering the 10.10 second mark, the first person in the national team to enter the 10.10 second mark. According to the experience of other countries in the past, if a young athlete can enter 10.10 seconds, it means that he is not far from the 10-second mark.

"Maybe, we can beat the Japanese in the 100-meter sprint event!" Director Yu couldn't help looking forward to the future.

At this time, a staff member of the national team came over with two reporters.

"Director Yu, these two official reporters from the Asian Athletics Association want to interview our team's Zhang Guan." The staff member added: "Just now we have called Director Ma for instructions. Cooperate as much as possible while resting.”

Director Yu frowned slightly. If it was other reporters, he might be able to prevaricate it directly, but it was the official reporter of the Asian Athletics Association who came. We must know that the Asian Athletics Association is the organizer of the Asian Athletics Championships, and the official reporter of the organizer still needs to give some face. Moreover, as the official reporter of the organizer, it is also impossible to ask some sharp or difficult questions.

"Okay, let's go to the rest area." Director Yu finished speaking, pointed to the rest area in the distance, then waved Zhang Guan to approach, and said softly: "Xiao Zhang, there are two official reporters from the Asian Athletic Association who want to interview you."

"Interview? I'm not prepared at all!" Zhang Guan said.

"No need to prepare." Director Yu continued in a low voice: "This kind of official reporter asks the same questions, nothing more than asking about your impressions of the competition just now, the ultimate goal of this competition, and at most one more ideal for the future. Don’t be nervous, just tell the truth.”

"By the way, Director Yu, should I answer questions in Chinese or English?" Zhang Guan asked.

Director Yu turned his head abruptly, stared at Zhang Guan with some surprise, and said, "Can you speak English?"

"A simple conversation should be fine." Zhang Guan said. Zhang Guan also tried to take the postgraduate entrance examination back then, but he failed in the end. Coupled with his ability to watch English movies, the most basic English conversations are still acceptable.

Director Yu also suddenly realized that Zhang Guan used to be a high school student who studied honestly. There is a translation."

...

The female reporter who interviewed Zhang Guan was a young Chinese woman.

"Mr. Zhang, hello, my Chinese name is Chen Meimei, can we interview now?" the female reporter said in fluent Chinese.

Zhang Guan, who was still struggling with Chinese and English, was taken aback immediately, and subconsciously asked, "Do you speak Chinese?"

"Yes, I am a Singaporean, so I can speak Chinese." The female reporter smiled slightly and asked again: "Can we interview now?"

"Okay, let's start the interview." Zhang Guan replied.

"In the race just now, you broke the mark of 10.10 seconds and ran out of 10.09 seconds. As far as I know, only four athletes in Asia have broken the mark of 10.10 seconds before, and you are the fifth , I don’t know how you feel about this.” The female reporter asked.

"Sure enough, it's the same as Director Yu said, let's ask for impressions first!" Zhang Guan thought to himself. Then I thought about it carefully, and found that I really didn't think much about it. After all, there was a system, and the sprint skill had just been upgraded, so Zhang Guan felt that this achievement was a matter of course.

"Actually, I don't have any special impressions. If I really want to talk about my impressions, I think since I performed normally, it is natural to get this result." Zhang Guan replied.

This time it was the female reporter's turn to be surprised. Often when he asked other players such questions, the other players usually said things like "very excited" and "very lucky", and the one who said "of course" was the first.

"What an arrogant athlete." The female reporter thought to herself. In the female reporter's impression, Chinese athletes are often very modest and reserved, but some American athletes often talk loudly.

The female reporter then asked: "Then what is your goal for participating in the Asian Athletics Championships this time?"

"Of course I will win the championship!" Zhang Guan replied without thinking.
