Chapter 64： stress-free group stage

Qatar, a constitutional monarchy located on the southwest coast of the Persian Gulf, is world-famous for its rich oil and natural gas reserves, of which natural gas reserves are the third largest in the world.

With such abundant energy resources, of course this country will not be short of money. The welfare of the local people has many enviable aspects, such as free medical care.

There was a change in this country this year. The new Emil was eager to improve his reputation and gain recognition from the world, so he made many moves, and this invitational tournament that Xu Ang was going to participate in was one of them.

Zhang Ming came to Xu Ang and said with a look of joy: "I have inquired about the list of competitions. Due to some concerns, world-class players like Green did not participate in this invitational tournament."

"It's normal. Americans have always cherished their lives, especially rich people in the United States."

Xu Ang is not surprised by this. After all, the accident here only appeared in late June, and it hasn't even happened for half a year. Didn't see Xu Ang, didn't let Xiaoying's mother and Xiaoxiao come with him, didn't even bring Yang Xiaomi, only himself and Zhang Ming's coaching team came?

Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, Xu Ang would not put his family in danger.

As long as athletes can become famous, even in high-consumption countries like the United States, they will enter the ranks of the rich. However, athletes in the United States are private, and the concept of fighting for the country in the arena is completely different from that of China. They practice for fame and compete for profit, and honor is just an accessory.

"It's a pity, there is no good opponent."

Zhang Ming would be worried that there are world-class sprinters participating in the competition, and he feels regretful without their participation.

Xu Ang thought for a while and said to Zhang Ming, "If my opponent can't put too much pressure on me, then I will run away."

As long as you can win gold, it doesn't matter how many results you get.

Of course, the influence will definitely be different, but Xu Ang has enough strength and patience, and is not in a hurry to become famous.

"Ah this..."

"how?"

"I'll communicate first."

After speaking, Zhang Ming is about to leave.

The leaders of the track and field center have great expectations for Xu Ang's performance, expecting him to be a blockbuster, and this expectation turned into pressure when Zhang Ming came here. Hearing Xu Ang saying that he was going to run away, Zhang Ming couldn't help but worry.

Xu Ang stopped him and said to him, "I'm just talking about a possibility. Coach Zhang, don't panic. Even if I run at my speed, breaking the Asian record is very easy."

Zhang Ming thought about it, yes, with Xu Ang's ability, the Asian record is not a problem for him at all.

"Then we can agree that it's okay for you to stay hard, but you have to get some results, otherwise I won't be able to explain it."

At this time, Zhang Ming's mind also turned a corner. He broke the world record once, and then the pressure will increase. After all, everyone's expectations have been met by you, and the pressure will be even greater when it comes to the Olympics. It would be better to mention the results little by little, so that not only is it easy for you, but you can also get a few more awards, why not do it.

He took a closer look at Xu Ang, he was clearly a young boy who was still young, but how could his mind turn so fast and have so many ideas?

Could it be that this is the gap between you and high-IQ talents!

It's the same head, why are other people's heads so smart, but they don't work well when they come to me?

sad.

Wronged.

"Coach, what's your expression like? You won't cry again."

Xu Ang's ridicule made Zhang Ming jump with anger: "Who are you talking about crying, don't contaminate people's innocence out of thin air!"

Thankfully, Xu Xiao, this hateful child, is not here, otherwise, he would have to be given a strange nickname, and he would have to shout for the whole world to know.

As expected of brothers and sisters, both brothers and sisters are so irritating.

"If you are in the mood to learn from Kong Yiji, it seems that you are not nervous anymore. Come on, let's start warming up."

Zhang Ming's heart skipped a beat. As the game approached, he was really nervous, but he didn't show it, but he didn't want to be seen through by Xu Ang.

Is this kid really an eighteen-year-old?

Why do you feel better than me? Are people with high IQs so smart?

After a warm-up, Xu Ang did not forget to despise Zhang Ming before going on the court: "It's me who is playing, not you, I don't even know how nervous you are. If you're nervous, it should be me. I'm in my 40s, why can't I hold my breath, and I'm not worried about affecting me. If I'm not in good shape and my grades don't come out, you'll have to take the blame."

As a coach, he was actually lectured by the athletes he taught. It was the first time in Zhang Ming's coaching career in the past 20 years that Xu Ang didn't make his nose crooked. He really wanted to refute Xu Ang, but he didn't dare. As Xu Ang said, what if it affected Xu Ang's state.

Even if the odds are very small, you are not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case.

Zhang Ming was so angry that he couldn't let it go, and he felt unnecessarily aggrieved. Xu Ang was just the opposite. He was not in a normal mood.

When people get angry, they run away, which is cool.

The good mood continued until the players in the same group stood on the track before the start of the competition, and a Tuao stood on the track next to Xu Ang.

The two didn't actually say the first half of the sentence, but they met because the track was adjacent. With just a contemptuous look and a disdainful pouting, Xu Ang understood what this Tuao wanted to express.

People of the yellow race also came to participate in the 100-meter race. Are you also part of this pearl in the track and field?

Forget it, I'll pay attention to what he does, it's not bad to use this yellow man as a foil, otherwise the audience won't understand how powerful I am.

Instead of paying attention to this yellow race, it is better to pay more attention to the old black in the same group, who may be my rival.

There are many sports events, and different countries have their own strengths. For example, China is so strong that its rules have to be revised every year, and some unique table tennis and badminton are banned.

Huaxia does not look down on anyone or discriminate against anyone in the field that he is good at, but this kindness is not appreciated by some people. Once they encounter a project that they have an advantage, their nostrils are turned upside down, and they are invincible in the world. It's disgusting to look down on.

Obviously, Xu Ang was surrounded by such a thing.

Someone broke Xu Ang's good mood, can Xu Ang not respond?

"boom!"

The signal gun sounded, and the athletes on the track jumped out like rabbits.

The strength of that Tuao is really good. If there is no Xu Ang in this group of contestants, he is definitely the first, and the old black in the group is also one position behind him.

However, he was assigned to a group with Xu Ang, which made Xu Ang unhappy.

So there was such a scene on the field, a yellow race was half a position ahead of the opponent, making the latter feel that as long as he worked harder, he could overtake it.

How could I fall behind a yellow man and see me surpass him.

Driven by this kind of psychology, Tu Ao couldn't help but start to exert his strength early. He planned to break out a few steps and return to the normal rhythm after surpassing Xu Ang, but after running most of the race, he was still half a point behind Xu Ang. body position.

what happened?

Tuao was confused.

The 100-meter track is only so long in total, so there is no time for him to think about it. Before he can react, he has already entered the final sprint stage.

At this stage, everyone is exerting their strength, and only someone whose rhythm is disrupted and whose physical reserves are exhausted not only fails to speed up, but is still slowing down.

It doesn't matter if he drops like this, what matters is that he was overtaken.

Lao Hei, who was ranked third, seized the opportunity and successfully replaced him, becoming the second place in the group stage.

Not to mention, even a Central Asian player who was supposed to be fourth also ran third.

Tu'ao is completely stupid. He should have made it to the finals with normal use of his strength, but he only won the fourth place in the group stage. He had to go home in a dreadful way before he even made it out of the group stage. What exactly is this for?

Xu Ang glanced at the result on the electronic display, 10.23 seconds, not even breaking the Asian record, but it is not surprising that Xu Ang did not exert any strength at all, and it was not much faster than the morning run when he got up early to exercise.

So easy to take the first place in the group, it seems that there is no world-class sprinter in the competition, I can't feel any pressure.

As for a certain fourth place, he didn't make it in ten seconds and five. How could he have the courage to despise this one and that other at this level.

With such a spicy chicken's strength, Xu Ang was not even interested in mocking him.

After Xu Ang left the track, Zhang Ming rushed over immediately: "If you run faster, you will be able to run the Asian record."

Xu Ang blinked: "What is the Asian record?"

Zhang Ming: "!!"

You don't know what the Asian record is, so why did you tell me just now to keep your balance and break the Asian record?

I'm your coach, you can't fool me like that.

Where is the most basic trust between coaches and athletes?

"I'll be **** off by you sooner or later."
