Chapter 283 Senegal Grand Prix

At the beginning of April, Lu Jinrong got the list of players who will participate in the 4-meter event of the Senegal Grand Prix on April 4. Tyson Gay was impressively listed, but Ball and Usain were nowhere to be seen.

In 2007 there will be the World Championships, and everyone is preparing for the World Championships. The purpose of participating in the Six Continents Tour is to maintain a competitive state. If you meet a considerable opponent and fight too hard, it may affect the World Championships , then the gain outweighs the loss.

So this year, there will not be a situation where world trappers get together at the silver medal grand prix like last year, but Gay’s situation is different. Gay is a challenger. Ball, Rousseau, and Usain, these three, have all held world records. Guy didn't.

So Guy seems to want to start with Rousseau and knock down all the flying people in the world one by one. No, Rousseau will meet him in Senegal.

"Tyson Gay's best time is 9 seconds. His time in the IAAF Finals last year was 82 seconds faster than when he competed with you in Eugene." Lu Jinrong said.

"But he was 0.1 seconds slower than Usain in that game." Rousseau thought, he was only 0.09 seconds faster than Gay in Eugene, and he lost to Usain again.

For these world trappers who explore the road to the limit of human beings, a gap of 0.1 second is a big victory.

"Don't think that you are sure to win." Lu Jinrong reminded Rousseau, "Gay has made rapid progress, maybe this time he will run to [-] seconds."

"I didn't say I was sure to win." Rousseau said with a smile, "But Guy will definitely feel that he is a challenger. He has never won when he meets me."

Rousseau's arrogance made Lu Jinrong a little worried. He glanced at Dong Zijian, hoping that Dong Zijian would talk about Rousseau.

"Have you put in all your strength during training?" Dong Zijian confirmed to Rousseau again, "This time Senegal's goal is not just to be number one, but to get back the world record, right?"

"Yes." Rousseau readily admitted.

"Are you sure?" Dong Zijian asked.

In fact, this question is a bit unprofessional. Who can be sure about breaking a world record.

But Rousseau has been keeping his strength in training, and the goal is the world record. This is a very confident performance.

"It's [-] to [-]% sure." Rousseau said.

"Sixty to seventy percent..." Dong Zijian and Lu Jinrong's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Other contestants said they were [-] to [-]% sure, so it was a [-]/[-] split.

But Rousseau was different.

Rousseau is stable.

When Rousseau said [-] to [-] percent, he had to be [-] to [-] percent sure.

"The General Administration is still asking." Lu Jinrong said off-topic, "What is the goal of going to Senegal this time, and I said it is to maintain the state of the game and prepare for the World Championships."

"Coach, you can tell them that they are going for the world record." Rousseau said.

Even if you can't break it, you can't work hard, you can't even say the goal, isn't it too cautious?

"You can't say that." Lu Jinrong shook his head.

Except for the spirit of a teenager like Rousseau, who is quick to speak, there is no benefit in stating the goal of breaking the world record in advance.

"The coach is really too cautious." Rousseau said, but he also knew that Lu Jinrong was doing it for his own good.

"It's fine if you win. It's best to break the record. If you can't break it, don't put pressure on yourself. You can still run for ten years. You have to think about your future sports career." Lu Jinrong warned Rousseau.

Uh-huh.Rousseau nodded.

But Lu Jinrong was too familiar with Rousseau, looking at this guy's expression, he obviously didn't take this sentence to heart.

……

Rousseau wanted to win.

Desperately want to win.

Ever since the world record was easily taken away by Usain, he wanted to get it back.

That kind of longing is so strong that even dreaming will be awakened.

There are some nightmares in which he wakes up empty-handed and has nothing.

A feeling of fear like falling into the abyss, which has not dissipated for a long time after waking up.

……

By now.

Rousseau didn't know whether he wanted to win because of his own longing for victory, or the desire, promotion and coercion of everyone from the media, the public, and the General Administration to his unprecedented victory.

Everything has been mixed into a whole, including fame and prestige, money and respect, plus national glory and self-affirmation. Rousseau seems to be in the clouds, and the only pillar that reaches the sky under his feet is victory. .

……

On April 4, Rousseau, Lu Jinrong and Dong Zijian set off for Senegal.

Tian Shiwei is adjusting his running style. He will not participate in this game, and he will not participate in any competition in the short term.

Although the domestic audience paid great attention to Rousseau's competition this time, and felt that Rousseau might be preparing to get back the world record, so they were eager for an explanation, but the General Administration did not hold a press conference for this, and Rousseau and his team went abroad quietly and arrived in Senegal .

……

This is the first time Rousseau has played in Africa.

The venue for the match is the National Stadium in Dakar, the capital of Senegal.

This country was once colonized by France and declared independence after World War II. Many African countries have had this experience, so Lu Jinrong looked at the hot streets of Dakar in April and said that it is very similar to Vietnam.

When Senegal attracted the most attention from the world, it reached the quarter-finals in the 2002 World Cup. This country with an area of ​​19 square kilometers and a population of 1500 million relies on football to let everyone know that there is such a sports eagle in Africa.

Rousseau and Dong Zijian discussed the performance of the Chinese team in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

Dong Zijian also knows something about football. He said: "Although everyone is not satisfied with the performance of the mainland football team, I think they just didn't win, and their strength is still very good. Compared with the past, they are already the strongest generation. The future can be expected .”

"It's hard to say." Rousseau, as the party concerned, has a deep understanding of the current relatively utilitarian sports competition atmosphere in mainland China. If you win, you will be good, and if you lose, you will be useless. He lacks long-term vision and perseverance. It's the strongest session of the year."

"Sometimes I have to admit the racial advantage. Blacks are indeed too talented in sports." Dong Zijian said with emotion, "In all sports, talent can be ranked first."

"Don't worry, you don't see monsters like Usain every day," Rousseau said.

"You are not a monster in the eyes of others." Dong Zijian said with a smile, "Li Yan judged before that under the influence of the mainland's population quality and the competitive environment, there will not be a world trapper who breaks the 2005-meter mark within ten years, but You did it in [-], how surprised Li Yan was when he found out."

Li Yan, probably won't know.Rousseau looked out the window and said nothing, the desert in Mexico is not suitable for growing potatoes, so how is your harvest?
