All-round Athlete

Chapter 456: Taking the Risk (Part 5)

Under normal circumstances, when Kiprop suddenly accelerates, Zhang Guan, who is in front of and behind him, will definitely have no time to react. There will be a gap between the two, and this gap will also give Birkenza a chance to jump in line.

But Kiprop didn't know that his little trick had no effect in front of Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's "follow and run" skill was completely based on Kiprop's rhythm, so when Kiprop accelerated, Zhang Guan will also accelerate immediately, and it can be said that there is no time gap between each other, and there will be no gap in distance.

When Kiprop accelerated for the first time, Zhang Guan also accelerated, so Birkenza had no chance at all. Then Kiprop accelerated for the second time, Zhang Guan still accelerated, but at this time Zhang Guan and the players behind him had a gap instead, Birkenza found that there was no hope of jumping in front of Zhang Guan, so he had to jump in behind Zhang Guan .

Of course Kiprop didn’t know what happened just now. He still couldn’t figure out why Birkenza ran behind Zhang Guan, but at this time the game had entered the second corner area, and the athletes were about to start a stalemate. , No one would change positions in common sense, and Kiprop did not play some tricks.

But Zhang Guan was a little puzzled, the Kenyan in front of him kept turning his head frequently, and sometimes even Zhang Guan himself thought that something happened behind him.

...

The second lap was passed relatively smoothly, and all the players were in the same group. The speed of the frontrunners is relatively constant, and even players with slightly weaker strength can keep up with the rhythm of the game.

In fact, players with really poor strength have already been eliminated in the preliminary round. By the stage of the semi-finals, the strength of the players has improved a lot. On the second lap, I couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

The position on the field basically did not change, until the last lap reminder bell sounded, and the athletes knew that the final moment was approaching, and then began to accelerate.

The first one to fall behind was the American player Manzano Lenno. He couldn’t keep up with the rhythm when the other athletes started to accelerate and was gradually left behind. The Spanish player Casado who performed well in the preliminary round also It's because they are a little powerless, and they are a little reluctant to follow.

The players entered the penultimate straight. At this time, the stronger players raised their speed to a higher level. When they reached the last corner, some even started to sprint.

At this time, the athletes were gradually divided into three groups. The seven players including Zhang Guan were in the first group. They obviously wanted to fight for the qualification to advance to the final; the other four players with weaker strength fell into the second group. Group, which includes Algerian player Birkenza, these players can be said to have no hope of advancing, even if the fastest players outside the top five players, it is not their turn; Nuo ran alone at the end.

The gap between the players in the first group is not very big. Although everyone’s speed is relatively fast at the moment, they obviously haven’t tried their best to run. All those who hope to advance to the finals are preparing to leave their physical strength for the sprint on the final straight track among.

Finally, the leading group entered the final straight track, and several players started to accelerate almost at the same time.

Kiprop is indeed the favorite to win the championship, and his speed is indeed faster than others. I saw that he came from behind, quickly surpassed other players, and then came to the second position.

The reason why it is second is that besides him, Zhang Guan is also initiating a transcendence. Zhang Guan's speed is faster, not only surpassing others, but also surpassing Kiprop.

"Passed by Zhang Guan! Heck, how can I run so fast in the final sprint of 1500 meters? If he hadn't been following me all the time, I would even think he joined the race in the middle of the race." Kipro Pu watched helplessly as Zhang Guan caught up with him from the outside world, and then surpassed him, but there was nothing he could do. His speed was really not as fast as Zhang Guan.

At this moment, the audience at the scene gave Zhang Guan the most enthusiastic cheering sound. The pronunciation of Chinese cheering sounds really cadenced to Kiprop, but Kiprop thinks it is extremely harsh.

Zhang Guan was in front, and Kiprop could no longer see Zhang Guan's profile, all he could see was Zhang Guan's back.

Kiprop knew that he had lost, and he felt unwilling and confused, but he was more ashamed.

In the preliminaries a few days ago, Kiprop was still laughing at others for not being Zhang Guan's opponent, but today, he himself was defeated by Zhang Guan!

...

"Zhang Guan, passed it! First, the advantage is huge! Crossed the line! Congratulations to Zhang Guan! We congratulate Zhang Guan, who has advanced to the men's 1500m final as the first in the group!" The commentator looked at his hand He continued: "The men's 1500m final will be held on August 19, which is the day after tomorrow. We also hope that Zhang Guan can perform better in the final and win a medal or even a gold medal! "

The audience at the scene is still cheering and applauding, and the athletes who have advanced to the final are also celebrating.

Ramzi felt the pressure, and Zhang Guan successfully advanced to the final, and also showed a good state, especially the two sudden speed ups of Kiprop in the game, which could not open the gap with Zhang Guan, and even more It made Ramzi feel a heavy burden.

Zhang Guan's final sprint was still extremely fast, and he didn't want the sprint speed that 1500 meters should have at all. This made Ramzi recall the Asian Games two years ago and his own defeat.

Ramzi suddenly became worried. He felt that he might lose to Zhang Guan in the final and lose the Olympic champion he dreamed of.

A hesitant expression appeared on Ramzi's face, as if he was making a very difficult decision. He looked at Zhang Guan who was celebrating at the finish line, gritted his teeth fiercely, and finally made up his mind. Then Ramzi quietly walked to his coach.

The former head coach of the Bahrain team was Virgil, a well-known American coach, but since the Bahrain team failed to win the championship in the Asian Games, Coach Virgil voluntarily resigned and left, and continued to return to the United States to live his retirement life . So the Bahrain team hired another head coach with a high salary, and the new head coach was also an American.

Ramzi said, "Coach, I want to increase the amount of 'that'."

"Shut up!" the coach whispered, "Are you crazy? Talking about this kind of thing here! If anyone else overhears, we're screwed."

"Now the audience is cheering. No one will hear such a loud voice. Besides, everyone's eyes are on Zhang Guan, and no one will care about us." Ramzi almost reached the coach's ear Side, lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Guan seems to have returned to his peak state, just like in the Asian Games two years ago. I'm afraid I won't be his opponent in the game the day after tomorrow, so I have to find some other ways win."

"That's not okay, you're using enough now, I'm worried that you will be found out." The coach said.

"Didn't we entrust a professional organization in the United States to conduct a test before, and the results are all normal. I don't think the Olympic drug test may be able to detect it." Ramzi continued: "Bahrain has never won an Olympic champion. If I can win the Olympic Games If we win the championship, we will have everything, and if I don’t win the championship, all our previous efforts will be in vain! At this time, we must take a gamble!”
