Chapter 431 The New Season Begins

“Speed ​​up, speed up! Overtake! Zhongqiu has overtaken Powell!”

At 100 meters, He Zhongqiu finally surpassed Powell, and Yang Jian’s passionate voice also rang in the ears of the Chinese people.

After a few steps, we entered the straight road.

He Zhongqiu was still one meter away from Tyson Gay in front of him. He did not rush to sprint, but relied on his advantage of running in the middle to continue slowly approaching.

Finally, at 140 meters, he caught up with Guy and they were running neck and neck.

“Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up…”

In the Shanghai Stadium, the huge shouts of more than 80,000 people became more and more passionate and louder, rolling like a dragon, and the momentum rose to the sky.

“Exceed! Exceed…”

Yang Jian’s voice was hoarse, and his roar was filled with immense passion.

At 150 meters, He Zhongqiu overtook Tyson Gay and started to sprint, demonstrating in front of people what the first late run in history was.

“Oh oh oh……”

The deafening cheers, like an invisible dragon, hovered over the stadium, accompanying He Zhongqiu as he rushed towards the finish line.

He Zhongqiu started to look around again in the last thirty meters, but unlike the 100 meters, this time he did not choose to let up.

The 200 meters is different from the 100 meters. His level is only 88, so there is a lot of room for improvement. He cannot break the world record now, so there is no need to slack off. His goal is to run his best result.

“call!”

With the sound of the wind, he crossed the finish line.

“Congratulations to Zhongqiu for winning the first 200m world championship in his career.” Yang Jian said excitedly.

“The result is… 19.70 seconds, very good. Zhongqiu ran his best 0.5-meter result with a 200-meter tailwind and broke the Chinese and Asian 200-meter records.” Han Qiaoshen said excitedly.

“Congratulations to Zhongqiu for winning his fourth championship tonight. He won all four events he participated in, leaving only the fifth, the triple jump.” Yang Jian said with a smile.

“Triple jump is Zhongqiu’s first time participating in this event. His goal tonight should be to get the Olympic A standard,” said Han Qiaoshen.

Yang Jian said, “Please ask Li Hong. Li Hong, we now want to know what Zhongqiu’s goal is for participating in the triple jump tonight.”

“Oh, I heard it.”

Li Hong, who was interviewing He Zhongqiu, immediately asked, “Zhongqiu, tonight is your first time participating in the triple jump, so is your goal the Olympic A standard?”

He Zhongqiu nodded and said, “Yes, my plan is to get an A in the triple jump this year, and then get an A in the high jump next year.”

“This time you got an A standard in triple jump, and next year you will get the Olympic A standard in high jump. Yang Jian, Teacher Han, did you hear me?” Li Hong said to the camera with a smile.

“I heard it, I heard it.” Han Qiaoshen said hurriedly.

“It seems that there is no problem with the A mark for the triple jump. Zhongqiu looks very relaxed and Li Hong doesn’t seem surprised either.” Yang Jian said.

Han Qiaoshen said: “Li Hong must have seen Zhongqiu’s triple jump training and knows how high he can jump now, haha!”

“Then ask again.” Yang Jian said quickly.

On the field, He Zhongqiu is preparing.

On September 9, his triple jump rose to level 5, with his best training result being 81 meters.

In the following twenty days, I mainly practiced triple jump, and now I have reached level 85, which is equivalent to 5 levels in one month.

His current best result is 17.59 meters, while the world record is 18.29 meters, the Asian and Chinese records are 17.34 meters, and the Olympic A standard is 17.10 meters.

Li Hong knew something about He Zhongqiu’s training situation, but not very well, because she was not by He Zhongqiu’s side during the period after she returned to China.

She said: “Since the World Championships, Zhongqiu has been mainly training for the triple jump. On September 9, Zhongqiu’s triple jump training result was 15 meters…”

“Wow, there is really no problem with the A standard. 17.3 meters, it’s almost breaking the Asian record.” Yang Jian said excitedly without waiting for Li Hong to finish speaking.

Li Hong smiled and continued, “Yes, if I perform normally, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to get the Olympic A standard in the middle of the autumn.

He is making rapid progress, and he should continue to make progress in the next ten days or so. I don’t know exactly how many jumps he can make now.”

Next, the triple jump begins.

It was He Zhongqiu’s first time participating in the triple jump competition and he came in first place.

“Let’s start. This is the first triple jump competition during the Mid-Autumn Festival.” Li Hong said at the end of the sand pit.

“Run up! Jump…” Yang Jian shouted loudly.

He Zhongqiu’s right foot stepped heavily on the springboard about ten centimeters above the take-off board, and his whole body leaped forward lightly.

He took a big step to the left and right in the air, and landed on his right foot in the second step. Then he jumped and flew forward again.

This time, he took a big step in the air with his left foot, then landed with his left foot and took off again, flying towards the sand pit.

With a slight sound, it fell into the sand pit.

“No foul.”

Li Hong shouted quickly after seeing the referee raising the white flag.

“A mark, can I get the A mark?” Yang Jian asked nervously.

At this time, the two referees began to measure, everyone was watching, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

He Zhongqiu himself was very relaxed. He felt good about the jump and was sure to get an A, and there was even hope of breaking the Asian record.

“17.52 meters.” The referee in the sand pit reported loudly.

“Beautiful! First jump of the Mid-Autumn Festival, 17.52 meters.”

Li Hong said excitedly: “Congratulations to Zhongqiu, not only did he get the Olympic A standard, but he also broke the Asian record for men’s triple jump.”

“17.52 meters? Haha!” Yang Jian laughed happily.

Han Qiaoshen immediately analyzed: “No world-class athletes came for the triple jump this time. I think Zhongqiu has a chance to win.” Yang Jian nodded and said: “Nelson Evora of Portugal, Phillips Idowu of Britain, and Livan Sands of the Bahamas are all not here. Zhongqiu’s 17.52 meters does have a great chance of winning.”

The triple jump competition continued, and He Zhongqiu won the championship with his first jump result.

The second place was Chinese athlete Gu Junjie, who won the silver medal.

He won the Olympic A standard with a good score of 17.11 meters at the National Grand Prix in June this year, but tonight he only jumped 16.67 meters.

After the triple jump, Li Hong smiled and said to the camera:

“Congratulations to Zhongqiu, who signed up for five events and won all of them, and broke the world record for men’s long jump with an amazing score of 9.24 meters.”

“Since the Osaka World Championships, he has won 100 world track and field championships in five track and field events, namely long jump, triple jump, 200m, 400m and 13m, in just over a month.”

“Since the National Track and Field Championships, he has broken the world records in men’s 100 meters and long jump four times in a row.”

At this point, her tone and expression turned passionate, and she continued:

“In the 100 meters, he ran the fastest time in human history, 9.69 seconds. He is currently the fastest in the world.”

“Long jump, three jumps to become the god, breaking the long jump world record three times in a row, raising the long jump world record to an unattainable height of 9.24 meters.”

“I believe that in the future, he will continue to create legends like 9.69 seconds and 9.24 meters, and continue to write legends in the track and field arena.”

“And eventually one day, achieve the reputation of being the God of Track and Field.”

At a quarter past ten, all events ended, followed by the closing concert.

Chenglong was not a guest at the concert, but out of joy he ran up to sing a song called “A Man Should Be Self-reliant”.

He Zhongqiu did not join in the fun. If he had gone on stage because he is tone-deaf, it would have been a real embarrassment.

With the end of the Shanghai Golden League, He Zhongqiu also ended all track and field competitions during this off-season and returned to Yanjing at noon on the 29th.

After National Day, he prepared to return to the United States. Before leaving, on the 2nd, he held a party at Qiuxue Garden.

All acquaintances, friends and brothers in Beijing were invited, including Li Hong, Yao Ming who was about to return to the United States, as well as Yi Jianlian, Zhang Heli and others.

As soon as he arrived at Qiuxue Garden, Zhang Heli shouted cheerfully: “Mid-Autumn Festival, the new NBA season will still be you and me, haha! But if you really retire, this will be your last season.”

After shaking hands with Zhang Heli, He Zhongqiu said with a smile, “Coach Zhang, I’m leaving tomorrow, do you want to come with me?”

“Then I have to wait for a while and go there before your media day.” Zhang Heli said with a smile.

After chatting with Zhang Heli for a few words, He Zhongqiu looked at Yi Jianlian.

“Brother Zhongqiu.” Yi Jianlian shouted hurriedly.

“Sixth in the first round, it’s a good ranking, do you feel any pressure?” He Zhongqiu asked.

Yi Jianlian’s agent is Mike Johnson, who is also his agent. He did not have time to pay attention to this draft, but he still knew the general situation.

“A little bit.” Yi Jianlian said shyly.

He Zhongqiu said: “Dazhi Daba has not made it far in the league. The main problem is not his personality or language, but his ability.”

“They are the core leaders of their respective teams in China, and all tactics are played around them, but after going to the NBA, everything changes completely.”

“So, Yi Jianlian, you will also face such a problem. You are the core of the team in your country, but you are not in the Bucks.”

“You need to have a very clear positioning for yourself. Are you the core of the Bucks? Or the main force? Or the rotation player?”

“After you have your position, you also need to focus on adjusting your skills and strengthen the team’s technical training.”

In front of He Zhongqiu, Yi Jianlian could only nod his head continuously and had no right to question.

At this point, He Zhongqiu asked: “What is your current position in the Bucks?”

“Oh, no, no.” Yi Jianlian said awkwardly.

He Zhongqiu said: “The core does not exist. With your draft position, the Bucks will definitely give you a chance. You can compete for the starting position.”

“But before you become a regular, you are a rotation player, and then you can compete for a regular spot.”

“So, your first position is a rotation player at the four position.”

“The Bucks won’t even arrange any tactics for you. You will only have this opportunity after you have demonstrated certain abilities and value.”

“In the rotation position of the power forward position, you should improve the abilities that the team needs from you.”

“You need to talk to the head coach and ask him what you need to work on and what aspects of your skills you need to improve. It’s best for you to talk to him yourself, otherwise let Mike talk to him.”

Yi Jianlian nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

From the core of a team to a rotation player of another team, the change in identity is indeed huge.

At noon on the 3rd, the family flew to New York.

In addition to a large number of media, James Dolan and Scott Layden, as well as Xia Song and Wellington Phillips went to the airport to meet them.

“Wolverine, let’s make an appointment tomorrow?” Dolan asked.

“OK.”

“Then I’ll have a party at home at noon. Welcome your family, Mr. Xia, and Mr. Philip to be our guests.”

“OK.”

Before getting in the car, He Zhongqiu asked Scott Layden about the current Knicks lineup.

Layden and Dolan looked at each other, and the former said, “Wolverine, considering that we have won four consecutive championships, the championship team has little desire for honor, so we made a big lineup adjustment this offseason.”

He Zhongqiu nodded. Nash called him in July and told him that he had gone to the Suns.

Layden said: “Nash asked for the trade himself, and the team also wanted to trade, so…”

He Zhongqiu nodded. It was normal for Nash to decide to leave after winning four consecutive championships. If he stayed, he would have to continue competing for the championship, which would be a bit difficult for Nash at his current age.
