Almighty Coach

Philip on the track finally gradually found his own running rhythm.

The disadvantage of prosthetics in starting is indeed too great. Just the difference between the two postures of squatting and standing can cause a gap of a few tenths of a second at the moment of starting, let alone the initial acceleration after starting. In the first stage, Philip had almost no power to push the ground. This is why Philip fell behind at the very beginning.

However, after the starting stage, when Philip gradually found his own rhythm, his speed was no slower than any athlete present.

At this time, the runners had passed the first 100-meter curve and came to the straight road. After the acceleration at the start, their speed had been raised to a relatively high level.

In the whole process of 400 meters, the second 100 meters takes the least time. This part is a straight track. Athletes do not need to deal with the extra centripetal force of turning, and the running speed must be faster than running a curve. Moreover, at this time, the energy reserves in the body of athletes are relatively sufficient, the lactic acid produced by anaerobic exercise has not yet played a role, and the muscle fatigue has not yet occurred, which is conducive to the improvement of speed.

In fact, at this stage, it is difficult to widen the gap between athletes of the same level, and Philip is not far behind. He doesn't have feet and can't provide as much kick off as the others. But his pair of carbon-fiber panther-blade prosthetics give him extra bounce, which makes up for his lack of pedaling power.

But this can only keep him from falling behind. Even though he is already running very hard, he can still barely maintain his speed and not be caught up by others.

...

"That strange feeling is coming again!" There was an imperceptible light in Philip's eyes, and he didn't know whether it was sadness or joy.

At this time, Philip once again had an illusion that he did not lose his feet. In the past two weeks, Philip has had this illusion almost every day, especially when he finds his running rhythm, he always feels that he is running with his feet instead of the pair of prosthetics.

This feeling made Philip feel very comfortable and happy. He seemed to be integrated with the pair of prosthetics. Those dozens of layers of black carbon fiber were his feet!

"Run!" A voice sounded in Philip's heart, it was a cry from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, he shook off the worries in his heart. He forgot that he was a disabled person who lost both feet, and there was only one belief left in his mind: run freely!

...

Oliver rolled his eyes and peeked at the situation of other athletes. His eyes finally fell on the far right, and he saw a figure and the pair of black shiny prosthetic limbs at the front.

Although it is made of 80 layers of carbon fiber, the prosthesis is still not thick, otherwise it would not be called a "blade" prosthesis. At this time, under the sunlight, the light reflected by the pair of prostheses really looks like a pair of ferocious the blade!

"Is it really like a knife, so he has the nickname 'Blade Warrior'?" This thought flashed through Oliver's mind.

"It's a game now, what am I thinking about! Fuck that damned prosthetic, I don't care if it's sharp or not, what I should pay attention to now is the position of other people!" Oliver forced himself to concentrate, at this time he Finally, I found that Philip's speed didn't seem to be much slower than others.

"I thought he would fall behind at first, but I didn't expect that his speed was not much slower than us able-bodied people." From the corner of Oliver's eyes, he noticed that Philip had entered the corner again.

The third 100 meters, this is the last difficult part of the 400-meter sprint.

By this time, most of the stamina stored before the race has been consumed, and aerobic exercise has begun to provide energy for the body. At the same time, the lactic acid produced during the first 200 meters of anaerobic exercise has also begun to play a role, which will It makes people feel tired. At this stage, the human body begins to feel the pain caused by the lack of oxygen, and some people even feel a sense of suffocation, and can't help but want to stop and take a deep breath. This feeling can be called a kind of suffering. It can be said that any 400-meter athlete in the world is gritting his teeth and persevering at this stage.

The physical limit of the human body will force the athletes to slow down, adjust their physical state, gain as much energy as possible through aerobic exercise, and at the same time store up as much energy as possible to prepare for the final 100-meter sprint. Therefore, the second corner of the 400 meters is also the longest part for athletes.

Philip's pace is still vigorous. The second half of the 400 meters is where Philip has the most advantage. He runs with less effort than others, and his muscles secrete much less lactic acid than others. When others start to adjust and start to slow down , When he started to charge, Philip still ran forward at the same pace as before.

However, no one pays special attention to him. He is on the outermost runway, which is also the most inconspicuous runway; he is a disabled person, so he is ignored by people because of his congenital nature. Everyone's eyes are still focused on Oliver. , Garcia and other powerful players.

On the field, the competition among the athletes also became fierce in this corner, while the spectators around stretched their necks and widened their eyes, waiting for the moment when the athletes entered the final straight.

In the 400-meter sprint, the starting positions are front and back, and everyone is not on the same level. For ordinary spectators, only when they enter the final straight can they tell who is ahead and who is behind!

"Who will be the leader in the last 100-meter sprint?" Someone asked a question, and then someone stepped into the final straight area.

It wasn't a foot that first stepped into that straight line, but a black slab against the sole of the shoe!

"It's Blade Runner!" A scream sounded, deafening.

At this moment, everyone realized that the one running in the front was actually Philip!

Philip is on the outermost runway. He has to make a wide circle and the starting position is relatively forward, so in the race, Philip's position is also relatively forward.

But now entering the final straight, Philip is still at the front, which can only explain one thing, he is the fastest one!

Countless onlookers watched this scene dumbfounded. In the "Group of Death" competition, the fastest runner turned out to be a disabled person who lost both feet! No one would believe this scene if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

"My God, what did I see!"

...

"The last 100 meters, prepare to sprint!" Oliver tried hard to adjust the rhythm of his breathing. He was about to enter the final straight area. He was ready to sprint. He wanted to explode all the energy he had just accumulated come out.

"Let's go! I'm going to qualify first in the group!" Oliver thought as he glanced at the runway on the left.

On the left of Oliver is a young man named Rudy Jackson. His best time is 0.06 seconds faster than Oliver, and he is younger than Oliver, so he can be regarded as Oliver's biggest opponent.

However, at this time, Jackson also turned his head sideways, looking to the right, and at the same time, he still had a ghost-like expression on his face.

"It's the game, this guy still has time to make faces at me!" Oliver felt a little upset, but he immediately felt that Jackson was not looking at him.

Oliver subconsciously twisted his eyes to the right.

In the front left, the pair of black "blades" were reflecting cold light as Philip ran!

"How could that disabled person be in front of me!" The ghostly expression on Oliver's face was even more exaggerated than Jackson's just now!

...

The organizer of the tournament, Lopez, stood up abruptly from his seat. At this moment, he no longer had the peace and calmness he had just now.

"How could he be at the front? How could the disabled run faster than the able-bodied? It's impossible! Cheating!" Lopez yelled frantically in his heart.

However, Lopez also knew that this could not be cheating. Since the starting strip, Lopez's eyes have not left the track. It is impossible for someone to cheat under his eyelids. Even if Lopez didn't notice it, there are hundreds of pairs around him. eyes staring.

"This disabled person, shouldn't he be qualifying!"

At this time, Lopez had an urge to scold his mother. He arranged a "death group" for Philip, the purpose of which was to prevent Philip from entering the main match, but the cruel reality gave him a slap in the face!

"Those seven idiots! You can't even run a disabled person!" Lopez couldn't help but curse in his heart, but apart from cursing, Lopez had no choice but to watch Philip cross the finish line and enter tomorrow's race race.

...

In the last 80 meters, the stride frequency of the athletes began to increase, and they entered the state of sprinting.

In the last 60 meters, the gap has widened, and the leading group is still fighting anxiously.

In the last forty meters, some people's footsteps have begun to slow down, and the energy accumulated in their bodies has been exhausted.

In the last 20 meters, every step forward is an action that needs to be completed by gritting your teeth. At this time, some people even start to rely on inertia to move forward.

Philip was also insisting that he was exhausted like everyone else, but unlike others, he had to endure a little more pain.

During the high-intensity running of 400 meters, his knees are also under great pressure. There is a place where the prosthesis is fixed, which will bear more extrusion, more friction, and even bear the weight of the whole body.

But Philip was used to it, he was used to the feeling of being squeezed and rubbed, he was used to running in pain.

For him, as long as it can be exchanged for the fruit of success, the pain is worth it.

Philip ran at the front, his eyes were looking straight ahead, there was the finish line!

Then, the finish line appeared in front of you!

He stepped on the white finish line without hesitation, he was the first person to cross the finish line...
