Chapter 214 The Cowhide Is Blown

In people's general impression, India is obviously a weak country in sports. At least India has participated in the Olympic Games for more than 80 years, but it has not even won an Olympic gold medal. But in fact, Indians also have sports they are good at. For example, in terms of cricket, India can be regarded as the top country in the world. Another example is the Kabaddi project. The Indian team is called the Kabaddi Dream Team.

Of course, none of these sports are Olympic sports, they are only popular in a small area in a certain area. To put it bluntly, no one plays them. If those sports powerhouses also start to develop these projects, India will definitely stand aside.

Although India is not very good at official Olympic events, Indians are very good at making gods. If an Indian player can achieve one result, he will be touted to the sky. And the players themselves have the same problem. After getting a little result, they start to talk nonsense and put all kinds of satellites.

Matthews Binu is a player who has participated in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games. Naturally, he knows how much he is. However, when facing interviews, the nature of Indians who love to talk big is still hard to restrain. The outbreak broke out, so the remarks of "beating Zhang Guan" broke out two days ago.

After that, Matthews Binu was indeed popular in India. Most people in India really thought that Matthews Binu could defeat Zhang Guan. The possibility of defeating Zhang Guan.

But when it really came to the start of the game, when Matthews Binu stood on the field and faced Zhang Guan, he immediately felt guilty.

"This is just the preliminary round. Zhang Guan will definitely not try his best to run. I will run a little faster in a while. Even if I can't win Zhang Guan, I believe it will not be too ugly to lose! Then I will talk about my condition today. Not good, I lost to Zhang Guan by a narrow margin, I believe the domestic audience will accept it." Matthews Binu thought, and nodded to himself. Then he changed his mind and thought:

"My strength should be at the forefront of this group of players. What if I perform super-level today? What if Zhang Guan qualify for something or encounter an unexpected situation, such as accidentally falling down, suddenly leg cramps, breathing Stop fainting...then I really hope to defeat Zhang Guan! Defeat Zhang Guan! I will definitely become a hero of India!"

Matthews Binu laughed involuntarily while thinking about it, and then he stood on the starting block thinking about the bright future. His position is on the sixth track, while Zhang Guan is on the third track, and the two are separated by two runways.

The gunshot sounded, and Matthews Binu rushed out immediately. His running style was different from others. He did not have an obvious sprint stage during the entire 400 meters. Not very slow in the road, and not very fast in the straights. Matthews Binu is relatively average in terms of absolute speed and explosive power, but his endurance is acceptable, so he chose this relatively average running method.

As a player who can run into the semi-finals of the Athens Olympic Games, Matthews Binu still has a certain strength, at least in the Asian Games, so shortly after entering the second 100 meters, he has already entered the second 100 meters. The player on the seventh track is neck and neck, which means that in the 400-meter event, he has completed the overtaking of the player on the right.

"Okay, I surpassed one just after entering the straight track. My current position should be regarded as relatively leading! I don't know where Zhang Guan is now. I think I should be on the same starting line as him now! Wait until When entering the curve, take advantage of the situation and take a look at Zhang Guan."

Matthews Binu just thought of this, but suddenly found a red figure suddenly appeared on the left side of his body, several tracks away, and then surpassed himself.

"It's Zhang Guan!" Matthews Binu was shocked in his heart: "How is this possible? He and I are separated by two tracks, and my starting position is so much ahead of him. How can this catch up with me? Is it true that Zhang Guan is running with all his strength? This is only the first round of preliminary rounds, why should he do this? What should we do? If this continues, he may lose two seconds."

Matthews-Binu suddenly realized that his previous calculation seemed to be wrong. Zhang Guan did not regard this match as a preliminary match at all, which means that Matthews-Binu would lose very ugly .

At this time, Zhang Guan was indeed running without reservation. Zhang Guan was very upset by the big words of the Indian flying man Matthews Binu before. But since they met in the game, Zhang Guan didn't mind embarrassing the opponent.

Another point is that after the men's 400-meter race, there will be a lunch break. The whole lunch break lasts for nearly five hours, and the lunch break will last until after three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Guan has enough time to rest and recover, so Zhang Guan Guan didn't mind wasting more energy in the last match of the morning.

The next 200-meter race has lost its suspense. Although Zhang Guan is in the third lane, he has already left behind the players in the other lanes, even the eighth lane player who started the most. I can only watch Zhang Guan's back cross the finish line.

"43.95 seconds, a result of less than 44 seconds! Perhaps this result is nothing to Zhang Guan, but it is a new Asian Games record!" CCTV's commentator forcibly found a record and placed it on Zhang Guan's head superior. However, such things as tournament records are probably quite worthless, and the system did not give Zhang Guan any rewards.

Matthews Binu looked at his time of 46.12 seconds with bitterness on his face. The gap of more than two seconds could not be described as "lost". Si-Binu suddenly had some regrets.

The cowhide is blown, what should I do?

...

Even in December, the temperature at noon in Qatar can still reach 28 degrees Celsius. Although this is not a difficult test for outdoor sports, it is still not very comfortable. Therefore, the organizers in Qatar did not arrange outdoor competitions at noon. For example, in the track and field field, athletes and spectators have a rest period of up to five hours.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature gradually began to drop, and the track and field competition continued. The first start is the final of the women's hammer throw event, followed by the women's 800-meter preliminaries, and in the evening, the men's 1,500-meter preliminaries.

The middle-distance running events of the Asian Games are mainly athletes from West Asian countries. In this Asian Games, a total of more than 20 runners participated in the 1500-meter middle-distance running. To accommodate some contestants, only two preliminaries were arranged.

Zhang Guan was assigned to play in the first group this time. Among the players in his group, Bahrain's Joseph Kamel and Bella Mansor Ali, and Qatar's Bashar-Ali were relatively strong. Najim and Savin of Saudi Arabia. All four of them are naturalized players from Africa. Except for Savin from Saudi Arabia, the other three are athletes from Kenya, while Savin is from Algeria. In addition, Iran's Mudira and Japan's 1,500-meter champion Kobayashi Shikazu are also divided into this group. Although his strength is not as good as athletes from West Asian countries, he still has a chance to enter the final.

...

In the player preparation area, Joseph Kamel, Bela Mansor Ali and Bashar Najem unknowingly gathered together. Although the three played for different countries, they were all from Kenya Ali and Najim are both from the same region of Kenya.

Savin from Saudi Arabia walked out of the athlete's tunnel, just in time to be seen by Ali. Ali waved to Savin and said, "Savin, we are all here!"

Savin also stepped forward and said to Carmel, "Carmel, I haven't had time to congratulate you on winning the Track and Field World Cup!"

"It's been almost three months, and now I think of congratulating me!" Carmel said pretending to be dissatisfied.

Savin walked up to the three of them and asked, "It seems that I came out at a bad time, so I didn't disturb your chat!"

Carmel shook his head: "It's okay, we're talking about Zhang Guan."

"Zhang Guan? By the way, he also wants to participate in this preliminaries! I really don't understand why he is a sprinter, why he wants to participate in the middle-distance race. In the middle-distance race, the competition between West Asian countries is enough It's intense." There was dissatisfaction in Savin's words.

"Savin, you are right. Their East Asian countries have already won the championship of the sprint event, and they really shouldn't come to participate in the middle distance race." Carmel lowered his voice and continued: "So we were discussing just now, is Shouldn't we think of a way to keep Zhang Guan out of the gate of the 1,500-meter final. Savin, are you interested in participating?"

"Oh?" Savin immediately showed a very positive expression, obviously very interested in it.

I just heard Carmel say: "We don't know what Zhang Guan's 1500-meter level is, but from the information we have so far, he once achieved a time of 3:35.85 in a Chinese competition. This result should be It is possible to enter the 1,500-meter final. So if you want to keep Zhang Guan out of the 1,500-meter final, you must use some tactics."

"Do you mean that we take the lead alternately?" Savin asked.

"Yes, take the lead alternately, and we must try our best to lock in a good position. In short, we must not let Zhang Guan find the rhythm he is familiar with." Carmel said.
