Almighty Coach

On the fourth day of the Olympic trials, the finals of some events began one after another. While the champions, runners-up and runners-up were born, they were also selected to participate in the Olympics.

At this time, the competition finally entered a heated stage. At the level of American athletes, none of them can enter the finals of the trials. In the strong events of the American team, such as sprinting and hurdles, the final level is comparable to that of the Olympic finals, and the level of other sports is also the same. world class.

The last two races on the fourth day are even more important. The first is the 400-meter final, where the legendary athlete Alvin will participate. Once Irving finishes in the top three, he will represent Team USA in the Olympics for the fourth time.

The other is the 100-meter sprinter competition. This event has always been the most watched event in track and field competitions. It can be said that there are many big names gathered. Whoever wins will become the new No. 1 American sprinter. Alvin's popularity is still overwhelming, as long as he appears on the field, he will always be accompanied by crazy cheers from the audience. Let him qualify and compete in the Olympics again, which has become what everyone expects.

Alvin was also a little excited. Before going on stage, he had just received good news. A well-known sports brand offered him a two-year endorsement contract worth 15 million dollars. The premise was that he had to get Olympic qualification.

In track and field sports, a two-year endorsement contract of 15 million yuan is beyond the imagination of many athletes, especially for track and field athletes, this can definitely be called superstar-level treatment, and many all-star players No basketball player can get such a high endorsement fee. Once he can get this money, Irwin's economic pressure will be much less. Even if the price of oil has not risen, Irwin doesn't have to worry about being dragged down by shale oil wells.

And in Alwin's view, this is just the beginning. As one of the greatest track and field athletes in American history, as long as he can continue to appear on the field, he will have a steady stream of advertising revenue. If it is a champion, it will be even more perfect.

On the left of Alvin, a black man with a mustache on his chin is secretly observing Alvin.

The black man is named Brown, who is five years younger than Irwin. Before Irwin retired, Brown had won two Olympic 400-meter runners-up and one World Championships 400-meter runner-up. The reason why he did not win the championship was not because of his The speed is not fast enough, but because of Alvin's existence.

The same is true in other competitions. As long as Irwin participates, Brown can only get the silver medal. And as long as there are some influential international competitions, Alvin will participate, and Brown can only be the second child in the millennium. However, in the 4x400m event, Brown has gained a lot, and has won many gold medals with the US team.

In the 400-meter event, Alvin is invincible. No matter how hard Brown tries, he still cannot defeat Alvin. Until three years ago, Alvin chose to retire. Without Alvin on the court, Brown finally began to taste the taste of the world champion. In the last World Athletics Championships, Brown won the first place in the American trials, and in the subsequent World Championships, he even won the gold medal in the 400-meter event.

This time in the Olympics, Brown's goal is obviously to win an individual gold medal in the Olympic 400-meter event. In fact, he is also very close to this goal, because in the 400-meter event, the American champion is the world champion.

But Alvin has come back, the mountain that Brown can never cross, the big devil Alvin is back!

At this time, Brown was in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, he felt that Irwin was 34 years old, and it was impossible for him to be in the same state as before, so Brown felt that he had a chance to defeat Irwin this time; on the other hand, The shadow in his heart caused by Alvin is like a nightmare, always lingering in his heart.

...

On the right of Alvin is a young black guy named Andre, who is a new 400-meter rookie in the last three or four years. But this Andrew's talent is very good. He is only 23 years old this year, and his strength is second only to Brown. And Andre's performance is still improving. Last year, he had the experience of running within 44 seconds.

Unlike Brown, Andre looked very excited at this time, because his idol is back again! For Andre, this is a game, but also a pilgrimage.

When Irwin won his first Olympic gold medal, Andre was just a primary school student. It is no exaggeration to say that Andre grew up watching Irwin's games. It was also under the influence of Alvin that he embarked on the road of 400 meters. As a young 400-meter athlete, Andre's idol is Alvin.

Four years ago, Andre also participated in the Olympic trials and entered the finals. Unfortunately, he failed to qualify. He still remembers that in that game, when he turned to the final straight and began to sprint , Alvin was already far ahead, and the back view left to Andre, like a peak that can never be surpassed, kept flashing in Andre's mind.

Today, four years later, Andre has been able to run within 44 seconds. It took him four years to gradually catch up with his idol, and he wants to challenge his idol in the competition.

...

Alvin stood on his own path, not talking to the athletes around him, nor did he make any body movements.

He simply stood there, looking at the track ahead. It's like a lord, standing on the top of the castle, overlooking his territory.

Everyone can feel that the sense of self-confidence emanating from Alvin is like a sharp sword, invincible. Anything that stands in front of him will be smashed to pieces.

At this time, Irwin not only regained his competitive state before retirement, but also regained the feeling of being the world's number one 400m back then.

That is the feeling of winning, as long as he stands on this track, it means that he will dominate this track.

He is the ruler on this track.

Alvin took a deep breath, stepped onto the starting block, prepared for the start, and waited for the gunshot.

...

The stands were a little quiet, and the audience seemed to have become dumb. There was no applause, and even the "click" of the camera shutter could be heard.

"Bang!" The sound of starting guns sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of shouting suddenly resounded throughout the audience, as if a mountain torrent erupted, drowning everything. All the spectators stood up and shouted at the track.

On the track, the athletes have already started running, and the sound of the surrounding mountains and tsunami makes them feel that they seem to have fallen into an ancient battlefield and are about to collide and fight with the enemy!

Although none of the athletes can clearly hear what the audience around them are shouting, it is an exciting sound that brings excitement to the people, and it will also bring extra morale to the contestants.

Brown was inspired by this sound. At this moment, he only felt that his whole body was full of strength, allowing him to run forward unscrupulously.

Brown could feel that his condition was very good, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Irwin on the track next to him.

"I'm faster than him!" Brown suddenly realized.

A kind of excitement spread in Brown's heart. His career has been firmly suppressed by Alvin, and he can only succumb to the "second millennium". At this moment, he seems to see the victory hope.

"Alvin is 34 years old, he can't be as fast as he was four years ago, I can win, I can win today!" Brown began to encourage himself, he wanted to mobilize his inner emotions, and then transform these positive forces For the impetus to move forward.

...

After the start, Andre's mood was not as turbulent as before. As a professional athlete, once he entered the competition, he had to adjust his state, let go of everything in his heart, and devote himself to the competition .

"It feels like Alvin's speed is about the same as mine, and I don't seem to be behind him."

Andre couldn't help but think of the Olympic trials four years ago. At that time, he also entered the finals of the trials. It was the first time he competed with his idol on the same stage. Full of confidence, he wanted to show himself in front of the idol, but in the end I can only chase the back of the idol that is gradually going away.

At that time, Andre was like a grass, while Alvin was a towering tree, the gap between them was really too big.

Now, the little grass of that year has also grown into a big tree, and the existence that could only be looked up to before can now keep pace with each other.

Andre's originally suppressed emotions became surging again at this moment. This time, he was no longer the young boy who could only chase after his idol's back. He could perform well in front of his idol, challenge him, and defeat him!

Nothing thrilled Andre more than this.

...

Alvin has already noticed that the challengers on his left and right are a little excited. They are very fast, and the aura exuded from them is like two cheetahs chasing their prey.

This thought flashed through Erwin's mind, but it made him feel a little annoyed. If the two challengers were cheetahs, wouldn't Erwin become their prey!

In Alvin's career, he has always been the ruler of the 400-meter event, the absolute king of the 400-meter race. If other 400-meter athletes are cheetahs, then Erwin should be the king of the leopards.

How could the king become someone else's prey!

Alvin knows that he should respond, and he must respond. He wants to tell those challengers that he has not grown old, and he is still the king of the 400 meters!

The best way to respond is to beat them on the track, beat them thoroughly!
