Almighty Coach

In the last Olympic Games, the Jamaica team, led by the "World's No. 1 Flying Man", won three gold, silver and bronze medals in the men's 200 meters. For the US team, this is a very embarrassing thing.

Before the rise of the Jamaicans, the Americans had always sat firmly on the top spot in sprinting. Even after Jamaica produced a "world's number one flying man", the American sprinting still has the world's top level. Although he can't beat others' number one in the world, there is always hope for a silver medal. Even if he is unlucky, he can only get a bronze medal, which is still a medal. It's a consolation prize, and it's better than nothing.

But in the men's 200-meter competition in the last Olympic Games, the US team didn't even get the "consolation prize" bronze medal, which was a very failure.

In this Olympic Games, the leader of Jamaica and "the world's number one flying man" Gitel has retired. For the US team, the biggest opponent has left. The next men's 200m final will be a chance to save face.

Sean Ford stood on the starting line, and everything in front of him felt very familiar and strange.

The former world champion, after many years, once again stood on the stage of the world's top competition finals.

None of the athletes who participated in the finals around him was known to Ford, and these contestants would look at Ford with a curious look from time to time.

After all, Ford has won the World Athletics Championships. Even though he has completely disappeared from the international arena in recent years, when he reappeared, he still attracted the attention and vigilance of other contestants.

In the area where coaches were waiting on the sidelines, Jamaica's head coach Fraser was also looking at Sean Ford.

"This Sean Ford, I haven't seen him on the court for so many years, and I haven't heard about him. I thought he retired! When I got the list of the US team, I saw 'Sean Ford The name De', I thought it was another person with the same name and surname, but I didn't expect it to be him. I still remember his performance in the World Championships that year. I haven't seen him for so many years. I don't know how many years he still has. success."

Frazier looked relaxed, because the Jamaica team had three more players to advance to the finals, compared with the only one left on the US team, Sean Ford. On the scene, the Jamaican team clearly had the advantage.

Moreover, in the last Olympic Games, the Jamaica team won the top three men's 200 meters. Although the champion Gitel retired, the runner-up and third runner-up were still there, and they both entered the final. Common sense says that since the first player has retired, the second player is naturally the strongest.

The Jamaica team lost the men's 100-meter sprint championship before, which made Fraser very depressed, but after that, the Jamaica team won the women's 100-meter and 200-meter events one after another, and the Jamaica team regained confidence , and the inherently optimistic character of black people also made Fraser once again have the belief that he must win.

Fraser involuntarily looked to the other side. Not far away, Dai Li was looking at the field with his hips akimbo, confident in his determination to win.

"That Chinese coach, do you think you'll win again! Humph!" Fraser couldn't help but snorted coldly, his expression full of dissatisfaction with Dai Li.

In fact, Fraser was a little jealous of Li Dai. He became the head coach of the US track and field team at such a young age, and the results of this US team were very good, making everyone impeccable.

Fraser is a legendary coach who has coached many world champions, but when he faced a coach who was younger than himself, coached a team better than himself, and had very good results, if he said that he was not jealous at all, It must be impossible.

The team leader Donnie peeked at Dai Li's profile. Under the reflection of the light, Dai Li's face reflected a confident light, as if Sean Ford had won the game.

Downey has long been used to Li Dai's self-confidence, and Downey knows that Sean Ford is one of the first athletes in the US team to train with Li Dai, so Li Dai also knows Ford's situation better. .

"Coach Li, Ford should be able to beat the three members of the Jamaican team, right?" Downey asked tentatively, and then continued: "The Jamaican team had the runner-up and third runner-up last time, and our American team was also Lost to them."

"That McNee of the Jamaican team is a very good athlete." Dai Li gestured with his eyes, and then said, "But unfortunately, he didn't meet a coach like me."

The current "first brother" McNee of the Jamaican sprint, lost to Alexander in the 100-meter final not long ago, and now he has come to the men's 200-meter event, and he is still the one who is most likely to win the championship. And being able to get Dai Li's praise shows that McNee is indeed a very capable player.

Downey responded weakly, "Coach Li, I've known you for so long, and I rarely see you complimenting an opponent."

"This is actually a routine. First, praise the opponent a little bit better, and then defeat him. Does this make us appear to be strong?" Dai Li replied with a smile.

Danny, a Yankee, didn't understand Li Dai's humor, and he looked puzzled. Li Dai also felt a little embarrassed to make a bad joke, so he changed his voice and continued, "Actually, I think Sean Ford should He is currently the most talented and powerful 200-meter runner in the world."

"Oh, with your words, I feel relieved." Downey nodded.

Although Ford's talent is only A+ and has not yet reached S-level, Ford's just right length of legs gives him an extra advantage in corners. In terms of cornering speed alone, players with S-level talents may not be able to match Good fortune, this kind of physical advantage cannot be brought by talent.

As for the straight area, it was originally a place that Ford lacked, but with the addition of athlete patches, Ford can also display his A+ level talent.

As far as the 200-meter event is concerned, Ford is slightly faster in the front curve than an S-level athlete, while the back straight is at the level of an A-level athlete. In general, the current Ford can barely reach the level of an S-level athlete. level. At this level, the possibility of winning the Olympic Games is very high.

...

The starter pushed the button, and with a gunshot, the men's 200-meter sprint final officially began.

After all, Ford is too old, and his starting reaction time is 0.168 seconds, ranking third from the bottom among all competitors.

Compared with the 100 meters, the importance of the 200-meter starting reaction time has been reduced. Although 0.168 seconds is not fast, it is also an acceptable result.

Moreover, what Ford is good at in the 200-meter race is not the starting reaction, but the 100-meter curve ahead. Due to his long and short legs, it is easier for him to accelerate in the curve than other players with normal body. The speed of extreme running is also a little faster than other athletes.

Although it is only a little faster, the difference in sprinting is just a little bit, and the difference between the final champion and runner-up is only a little bit.

...

Just three seconds after the start, Jamaican coach Fraser felt uneasy.

"Ford's speed seems a bit fast!" Fraser stared at the track. As a professional sprint coach, he immediately judged that Ford was better than other contestants.

After another two seconds, Ford has completed his acceleration in the corner, and at this time Ford's extreme speed in the corner is fully displayed.

"It's so fast, even Gitel in his peak period doesn't have such a fast cornering speed." Fraser couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

The next second, Fraser suddenly realized that if Ford maintained such a fast speed, then the 200-meter gold medal would be won by the US team again.

"McNee, come on, you must not lose again!" Fraser couldn't help but began to pray.

...

After a few breaths, the athletes have already completed the curve in front and are about to enter the straight road behind. And when everyone enters the straight, the ranking of the athletes will be very clearly displayed in front of everyone.

"Sean Ford!" The commentator on the scene shouted Ford's name. Obviously, after entering the straight, he was the first in line.

And the lead is still huge.

"It's just a corner, why is it so much faster than me!" McNee looked at Ford in front of him, and he couldn't believe what happened in front of him.

McNee is also a player who has participated in many competitions and has rich experience in competitions, but this situation is something that McNee has never encountered in a competition. In the past 200-meter races, it is not that McNee has fallen behind in a corner, but it is the first time that McNee has encountered so much behind.

"Even Gitel back then couldn't have left me so far in the first 100-meter curve! With such a big gap, how can I catch up?" McNee looked at Ford's back and suddenly had a feeling A sense of powerlessness.

"Am I going to lose to Sean Ford in this game?"

At this moment, a kind of grievance and unwillingness occupied McNee's heart.

"In the 100-meter final four days ago, I lost to Alexander. Alexander was also 'the second fastest in the world' back then, and his peak performance was indeed better than mine. If I lost to him, I have nothing to say."

"But today, the Sean Ford I am facing has not appeared in the international arena for many years. Am I going to lose to him too!"

Later, McNee suddenly realized that Sean Ford was not an ordinary athlete with no reputation, he had also won the World Athletics Championships.

"Is this the strength of the world championship champion! He is so much faster than me in the first 100 meters!" McNee vaguely understood that he had underestimated the heroes of the world before.

For many years in the past, sprinting has been ruled by Gitel. The so-called shade under the big tree is good. With Gittle, the "world's number one flying man", McNee and the entire Jamaican team have been enjoying the victory. fruit. With more and more victories, the entire Jamaican team has become more and more confident, and it can even be said to have become conceited. They began to look down on athletes from other countries. They had an idea in their subconscious mind that Jamaica was number one in the sprint event.

Although the Jamaica team lost Gitel in this Olympic Games, the coaches and athletes of the Jamaica team are still as conceited as before. They still think that the six gold medals in the Olympic sprint are already in the Jamaica team's pocket. This kind of thinking has been deeply ingrained. Even if the men's 100-meter gold was lost before, the Jamaica team still has a mentality of "I am the best in the world".

In today's 200-meter final, when McNee fell behind Ford by a large margin, he finally realized that he had made a mistake of underestimating the enemy, or that the entire Jamaica team had made a mistake of underestimating the enemy.

It is important for McNee to understand that the opponent is not weak, not only not weak, but also very strong! Jamaica is not sure about the sprint event.

...

Ford was in the lead, and once again he felt that familiar, yet strange feeling.

The reason why he is familiar is because he had a similar experience. In the World Championships that year, he was in the leading position after entering the straight as he is today, and then he was the first to cross the finish line and won the gold medal. .

The reason why it was unfamiliar was because it was a long time ago, and Ford's memory of that period was even blurred.

In the past years, Ford has dreamed countless times that he won the World Championships. Today, at this moment, he seems to have returned to that moment in the past.

Now Fude is somewhat unclear whether this is reality or a dream.

"If this is a dream, this is my world, and I am the master of this place, and everything that happens here will proceed according to my ideas!"

When this idea came out of Ford's mind, he was getting closer and closer to the finish line.

"If this is a dream, then what follows will be the result I have dreamed countless times. I will be the first to cross the finish line, I will win the final victory, I will get the gold medal, and I will stand on the podium the highest point!"

With this thought in mind, Ford crossed the finish line.

A number of 19.78 appeared on the timer on the sidelines, which was Ford's final score.

"Sean Ford, cross the finish line first, first place! The former 200-meter champion of the World Championships is back!" The commentator roared passionately into the microphone.

In the auditorium, people began to cheer, and many American audiences took out the American flags that were ready for sight, and waved them non-stop. Countless flashlights were aimed at Sean Ford...

Ford felt more and more unreal, all of this was very similar to the World Championships that year, and it was also the same as what he had experienced in countless dreams.

"If this is a dream, I hope I won't wake up so quickly this time, and let me enjoy this feeling of victory more!"

Ford closed his eyes, raised his head, and inhaled hard. He wanted to inhale all the smell of victory into his body.

Ford hopes that time can stop, he hopes that he can stay at this moment forever, he hopes that this "dream" will never wake up.

Some athletes came to congratulate Ford, but Ford still closed his eyes, raised his head, and took a deep breath, completely ignoring others.

Some reporters gathered around, holding various "long guns and short cannons" to shoot non-stop. The sound of the shutter being pressed was like dozens of people typing on the keyboard non-stop. But Ford still closed his eyes, raised his head, took a deep breath, and ignored the reporters around him.

The athletes who came to congratulate Ford saw that Ford ignored him at all, and walked away in embarrassment.

The reporters stood still and continued to shoot. They thought it was Ford's unique celebration posture, so no one disturbed him.

"Snapped!"

Finally someone slapped Ford hard from behind.

Ford was awakened. He opened his eyes, turned around and saw that Dai Li was already standing beside him.

"What are you standing here thinking about? Hurry up and prepare for the awards ceremony!" Dai Li said.

Ford nodded subconsciously, and then looked around. He saw the reporters, the audience, and the results displayed on the big screen.

Ford suddenly realized that he was not dreaming that familiar dream, everything in front of him was reality!

"It's true this time! I won..."
