Chapter 872 New strategy?
Chen Kangjie is very clear about the various praises coming from the outside world, but he doesn't care much about them. The more you take some things seriously, the more burden you are. If you look at them in a plain manner, you can go better. Chen Kangjie, who has been tempered for ten years, is already well aware of the way. Moreover, he currently has an important task, which is to complete the men's 1,500-meter race.
The men's 1500m preliminaries started at 10:45 am on July 29. Due to the impact of the explosion the day before yesterday, the security of the entire sports field has been greatly strengthened, and the audience's entry time is 20 minutes earlier than usual to undergo inspections by different procedures. Even so, by 9 am, the entire Olympic main stadium was full.
The men's 1500m will have to play three games in total, one preliminaries on July 29 and one rematch on August 1. The last eight people will participate in the last day of the Olympics, which is the final on August 3. Since the physical energy consumption of 1500m is much greater than that of sprinting, there is a day left in the middle to rest.
At 10:40, Chen Kangjie appeared on the track and field field. Now he is a hero that everyone knows about in the world. It can be said that the nearly 100,000 spectators who attended today were mostly interested in Chen Kangjie, followed by other competitions.
Therefore, Chen Kangjie's appearance suddenly aroused everyone's enthusiasm, and the cheers and applauses at him were wave after wave, which made Chen Kangjie feel a little embarrassed and kept waving to everyone humbly. However, every wave of his hand could arouse greater cheers and warmer applause.
If there are still people who doubt his game before, then not many people should have such ideas at this time. Although this is the first time Chen Kangjie appeared in the men's 1500m field, for K.J.CHEN, who has created two impossible events in a row, people think that there seems to be nothing impossible. They all firmly believe that Chen Kangjie can win, the key is just how good the results can be.
The audience is concerned, and the reporters are more concerned than them. Among the nearly 10,000 athletes participating in the Olympics, Chen Kangjie has now become the most eye-catching player in the media. No matter which country reporters are, they will almost bring up some information about Chen Kangjie while sending back the progress of their athletes' competitions to China, which is conducive to increasing the attention of the news. Anyway, the whole world is now watching him, and the reporters are just doing their responsibilities.
In the first preliminaries, Chen Kangjie did not disappoint everyone and ran a good result of 3 minutes, 39 seconds, 72. Although this result is still a certain gap from the world record of 3 minutes, 27 seconds, 27 seconds, which was set by Nurdin Moselli in Nice on July 12 last year, Chen Kangjie has entered the next round of rematch with the second in the group. The first in the group is only 0.51 seconds faster than him, which is already considered good. At least the first time in the Chinese male athletes have reached this result.
In the past, Chen Kangjie was always running until the finals, but this time it was not counted. Although Chen Kangjie did not try his best in today's game, he did not let go of it. This is indeed close to his best performance today.
The reason is that Chen Kangjie neither trained nor maintained a good rest yesterday, and kept playing around with Chen Jing. It was not until after dinner that Chen Kangjie returned to the Olympic Village at 10:30 in the evening to be in the dormitory. Today's competition was in the morning, so Chen Kangjie's condition was more or less affected.
The one who is most worried about Chen Kangjie's performance is Lin Zhidong. Tang Wei and Niu Qihua both won the championship in the projects they were responsible for, one tied the world record and the other broke the world record. He was responsible for the medium and long-distance running, so of course he also hoped that Chen Kangjie could achieve good results in this.
Yesterday, Chen Kangjie did not return to the Olympic Village, which made Lin Zhidong so anxious. When Chen Kangjie came back tonight, he originally planned to complain to Chen Kangjie, but was worried that it would affect his next day's game, so he held back.
Chen Kangjie has now successfully entered the next round, which made Lin Zhidong feel a little relaxed, but the score was lower than his best score in several training sessions, and his heart was hung up again.
"Mr. Jie, there is only one left in your game. You have to have a beginning and an end. Yesterday I asked you to do training and talk about tactics, but you were not there. I was so anxious. Fortunately, you entered the rematch today,,,,,." Lin Zhidong's brows were still locked on the way to accompany Chen Kangjie to leave the competition venue.
"Coach Lin, I know your concern. I went out the day before yesterday and it was not convenient to come back yesterday. Sorry, I will make some adjustments in the past two days and strive to achieve a good result in the finals. Haha, I have troubled you." Although Chen Kangjie did not explain why he went out and did not return, he was not arrogant about his identity for his mistakes. He still admitted the mistakes he should admit. In the end, he gently patted Lin Zhidong on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Old Lin, don't worry, Mr. Jie has great potential and talent, and will not disappoint you. I guess the gold medal will be the one in my pocket." Niu Qihua hugged Lin Zhidong's shoulders, on the one hand, trusted Chen Kangjie, and on the other hand, comforted him.
"Yes, yes, sure," Tang Wei also agreed.
As best friends, the three of them are now Chen Kangjie's coaches. Their relationship is quite special. Now Tang Wei and Niu Qihua have achieved their wishes, or have entered the success of success. Of course, they do not want Lin Zhidong to fail. They will not be as unwilling to see others succeed like others. If others achieve the same achievements as themselves, they will be delicious and unhappy.
As for whether that gold medal must be Chen Kangjie's possession, it is too early to say that, and the world record holds Nurdin Moselli is also on the court. Chen Kangjie's best result in his usual training is that he is on par with Nurdin Moselli. If Nurdin Moselli can show his performance in Nice last year, Chen Kangjie might have to be second or third place. This is the case, but the two can only say words of encouragement and confidence.
Two days after the preliminary round, Chen Kangjie didn't go anywhere and just received Lin Zhidong's adjustment training in the training ground in the Olympic Village. However, even if Chen Kangjie showed a 100% cooperation attitude, their training would be difficult to carry out normally.
There is only one track and field training ground in the Olympic Village. Track and field athletes from various countries make some pre-match adjustments and adaptations here, and there are also some famous athletes. However, nowadays, how can those athletes compare to Chen Kangjie? So every time Chen Kangjie trains, many people will watch it. When he finishes training, many people will ask for autographs or take photos.
Such disturbances have been constantly annoyed, both Chen Kangjie and Lin Zhidong were annoyed, and even Nurdin Moselli came to watch Chen Kangjie's training so that he could know himself and his enemy.
No matter how annoying he was, Chen Kangjie did not show such arrogance and big name, so he could only endure it. In the end, Lin Zhidong gave up first.
"Forget it, we won't do outdoor training anymore. I'm afraid that I won't adjust it properly, but it will affect my mentality even more. Let's go to the dormitory to use a treadmill, or you can swim and relax." Looking at the people surrounding Chen Kangjie, Lin Zhidong was dejected.
"Coach Lin, are you worried that your competitors will see your training method? Haha?" Chen Kangjie was in a good mood to joke with Lin Zhidong.
"That's okay, I'm worried that it will affect my mood."
"You are right. Actually, you know what kind of strength I have. We all think it's useless to cram for the moment. It's better to follow a relaxed way. You'll be under no pressure. I believe the pressure on my legs will not be worse than them, and will not disappoint you." Chen Kangjie, the athletes of Chen Kangjie, easily comforted the coach.
In the next few days, Chen Kangjie completed training on the treadmill and swam for an hour every day. In order not to be disturbed, that hour was arranged for dinner between 6 and 7 pm. During this period, Marshall would arrange a swimming pool where only Chen Kangjie could use it.
Although the training effect on the treadmill is not as good as that in the field, it is better to be quiet and calm and not disturbed. If it is to improve the performance, it may not work. However, if it is just for adjustment, it is still possible.
After two days of rest, at 6:10 pm on August 1, Chen Kangjie walked into the Atlanta Olympic Sports Center again. The competition will not start at 6:30. Chen Kangjie entered the court 20 minutes in advance to jog and adapt to the rhythm.
The rest and relaxation training these two days seem to have been effective. In the rematch, Chen Kangjie won the first place in the group with 3 minutes, 36 seconds, and successfully entered the finals.
The most surprising thing is that his result was the best in the rematch, and Nurdin Moselli only ran 3 minutes 36 seconds 72.
"It's really strange. Did they adopt a new strategy? Nurdin Moselli's strength is not just this. Even the Spanish Fermín Cacho only ran 3 minutes and 38 seconds in the rematch. It's impossible for the man's 1500 overall score to regress." It was a good thing, but it made Lin Zhidong panic.
Tang Wei patted the sofa's arm, stood up, and walked around Chen Kangjie's living room, "I think this is completely possible. Think about it, Edwards of my project, the world record was set by him, and it was only one year, but his performance this year is so different from the world record, and everything is possible on the field."
"I also think this is not a strategy. The Spaniards and Kenyans cannot cooperate with Nurdin Moselli. Kacho was 3 minutes and 38 seconds, and Kenyan Stephen Kipkorir only scored 3 minutes 39 seconds 24 seconds. Do they all hide their strength?" Niu Qihua thought for a while and helped analyze it.
Chapter completed!
