Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 101 Key Tactics
After promising Xingmu, An Jingzhen could see a flash of surprise in the eyes of this horse racing girl, and Northern Xuanju beside her was also very excited.

"Great! This way, I can run with Xiao Xingmu like today!"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to such a day too." Xingmu couldn't help but smile.

Although he also had a smile on his face, Yasui Makoto was actually very calm inside.

It was certainly a pleasant surprise that Xingmu would ask him to provide guidance.

Deep down, he longed to be able to guide this horse girl.

Putting aside the impression from another world, his performance in previous matches alone was enough to prove how outstanding this kid was.

He has the confidence to shoulder this responsibility and lead his opponent to a stronger level.

But this does not mean that he will definitely be able to sign this horse girl in the future.

When I was talking to the doctor just now, he asked about the characterization of Xingmu, and the answer I got was that it would probably enter this stage within one to two years.

This period of time is still quite long, maybe there will be some changes.

Northern Xuanju also said that Xingmu's family hopes that she can focus on short distance events.

I just kidnapped a child that the family had high hopes for. It's hard to say whether they would agree.

So instead of thinking about things in the future, we should focus on the Northern Xuanju now.

So after instructing Xingmu to have a good rest, An Jingzhen took Kita no Xuanju back to the playground.

After the competition ended, the audience did not disperse.

Just like the winner's stage after the official competition, the playground that previously served as the competition venue is now hosting various performances, and the performers are elementary school students like Xingmu.

After Xingmu and the other young contestants were checked and confirmed to be in good condition, they returned to the playground and performed a song and dance as the finale.

Staring intently at the stage, when Xingmu appeared, Kitaguchi Xuanju, who was standing next to Yasui Makoto, suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly:

"Wow! Those little almond eyes are so pretty! She's pretty, and her clothes are pretty too!"

Clapping like Kitaguchi Genju, Yasui Shin smiled and nodded.

Blessed by the three goddesses, every horse racing girl actually has outstanding looks.

But even among such beautiful girls, her almond eyes stand out.

Although she is still young, her appearance is quite delicate and she has a very unique temperament.

This temperament seems very quiet at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find a kind of burning heat hidden in the deepest part.

This contrast made Yasui Makoto unconsciously recall that in the previous game, Xingmu could afford a crazy sprint on the last straight line.

As expected, talent cannot be hidden. At such a young age, he has already touched the threshold...

Just as he sighed to himself, An Jingzhen suddenly felt his sleeve tighten.

Following the force, he met the shining red eyes of Northern Black Horse.

"Hey, trainer, Xingmu's performance in the previous match should be called a last-gasp kick, right? I heard the commentator and everyone else say that."

Surprised by this question, Yasui Makoto thought about it.

"To be precise, it's just a prototype. There's still a lot of gaps in fundamentals and techniques... but that's understandable."

"Yeah……"

Nodding with satisfaction, Northern Xuanju shrugged and relaxed his shoulders and took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect Xiao Xingmu to be so outstanding. I wonder how great she will be after her real debut...

"Alright! Since there is such a powerful junior, I, a senior, cannot lose!
"Trainer, after the event is over, can we go back to the academy for training?"

...Of course it is impossible to train. Training on a rest day is definitely impossible in Yasui Makoto's opinion.

In his training plan, every day and every task assigned to Northern Xuanju has a clear measurement and division.

Too little will not achieve the desired effect, and too much will bring unnecessary burden to the body.

However, it is obviously a good thing that the girl is so motivated, and it seems that this is one of the purposes of holding the event.

So after comforting Northern Xuanju, An Jingzhen said that he could arrive earlier the next day and do more training.

The next morning, they arrived at the playground of Tresen Academy. As expected, they saw Kita no Genju waiting there early. Yasui Makoto didn't waste any time and started the final stage of special training after warming up.

Pointing to the playground track, Yasui Zhen asked, "Remember the short board we talked about before?"

"Remember! Sprinting ability, especially the ability to sprint in the final straight line!" Beibu Xuanju answered quickly.

Yasui Zhen nodded and said:

“Well, it just so happens that you coached Xingmu yesterday, so you should be more aware of the advantage that opponents with a last leg have in the final straight line.

"So from now until Gaoyue Award, you have to practice the corresponding tactics.

"One is the arc positioning, one is the gradient acceleration, and the last is the mid-air change of feet.

"Before, I practiced them separately, but now I'm going to run 2000 meters and try to combine them."

After giving the order, looking at the energetic Kita no Xuanju rushing towards the starting point of the runway, Yasui Shin adjusted the stopwatch and raised his hand to count down.

Soon, the girl's swift figure appeared on the runway.

All the tactics prepared by Yasui Makoto were based on the situation of Northern Xuanju without exception, and were specially arranged for Gaoyue Shang. The key points were all in the bends.

Arc positioning is used to ensure that you can occupy a good position to escape or take the lead when entering the opening stage.

Judging from the performance in the last training match, we cannot rule out the possibility that the opponent will block us in the early stages.

In other games, faced with this situation, you can certainly fight for the ball in a straight line.

However, after leaving the gate, Gaoyuejing is facing a steep slope. Judging from the videos of previous competitions, the key point is how to pass the slope more efficiently rather than competing with each other.

At this time, give up fighting directly for position and choose a forward route with a certain arc, so that you can use the physical strength of fighting on the slope, avoid head-on confrontation and maintain physical strength.

Gradient acceleration requires increasing speed progressively on curves and extended straights.

The first step is to enter the corner and reach the apex of the corner, using the gradually increasing centrifugal force to initiate initial acceleration.

When turning a curve, the speed is further increased to form speed inertia.

After exiting the turn, use the speed inertia and residual centrifugal force to accelerate for the last time.

This phased acceleration method can avoid the sudden drop in physical strength caused by a single burst. The conversion force at the exit of the curve can also improve the acceleration efficiency and take up less physical strength.

The ideal application location for this tactic is in the first and second turns.

If you can seize the opportunity and use it successfully in this position, the distance advantage will be considerable.

When it is used again at the final turn, the advantage will be further widened.

Changing feet in the air is more accurately described as a skill, and it is also the guarantee that gradient acceleration can achieve the most ideal effect.

The lead leg is usually kept fixed when sprinting on the straight line of the race, but it is necessary to actively change feet when turning and adjusting direction.

When entering a corner or changing direction, shortening the stride with the inside leg can effectively reduce the impact of lateral inertia, and the torque difference generated by changing feet can further accelerate the turning.

As the name suggests, in the air, you need to change feet when both feet are in the air.

This can ensure other effects while avoiding the impact of ground friction.
