Chapter 81 Turn imagination into motivation(1/2)
After a brief interlude, Qin Zheng put the round fan in his hand into his schoolbag, and Tang Xu also returned to his normal state of mind after taking a short rest.
The competition for the senior year of senior high school has ended, and the competition for the first year of senior high school boys' group is in progress. When the competition for the first year of high school girls' group is over, Tang Chu will have to go to the podium to get his bib number.
It takes a long time to run ten laps on the playground, so this time Tang Xu and Qin Zheng do not need to enter the preparation area together in advance.
The first-year high school students were obviously full of energy, and some even sprinted at the beginning of the 3,000-meter long-distance race. Tang Xu felt that he had learned a lot. Of course, the students who were able to win in the end were the conservatives who worked steadily and steadily.
Before it was Tang Xu's turn to compete, he drank a lot of water in advance, because he would definitely sweat a lot during the competition, so he would be prepared if he had enough water in his body.
"Here, Tang Chu, have some beef jerky."
Qin Zheng handed the individually packaged beef jerky to Tang Xu, who ate one while drinking mineral water.
"Tang Chu, don't worry about Lin Guzhou. If you feel weak in the middle, just give up. You don't need to be the key player to determine whether the class's total score can be ranked first at the last moment. Isn't this moral kidnapping?
Well, just do your best."
Qin Zheng's words were sincere. She was really worried that Tang Xu wouldn't be able to finish the 3,000-meter race. Today's weather was very hot and sultry, and Tang Xu had that sluggish reaction just now. Qin Zheng really spoke from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking about Tang Chu.
Tang Xu looked at the worry on Qin Zheng's face and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub Qin Zheng's hair. Qin Zheng didn't resist. Although they were in the back row of the class, they were in public after all, and Qin Zheng's expression remained the same.
I feel a little troubled.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
There was a very special kind of confidence on Tang Xu's face. Qin Zheng had never seen Tang Xu like this before.
At the end of the first-grade girls' competition, an announcement came from the podium.
"Please ask the boys' athletes who are participating in the 3,000-meter long-distance race in their sophomore year to come near the podium and prepare to take the field."
The process of preparing to go on stage is actually to go to the podium to get the bib numbers. In this way, when the two senior high school students on the podium are explaining, the students in each class on the playground can know whether their classmates who are currently participating in the competition are in the competition.
Outperform other contestants in places that you can't see, so as not to miss some amazing moments.
When Tang Xu stood up from his seat, most of the students in Grade 2 and Grade 6 were looking back at him.
Everyone knows that this afternoon will come to the end of the sports meeting, and whether Class 2 and Class 6 of high school can win the first place in this year's sports meeting depends entirely on the performance of the two people participating in the 3,000-meter long-distance race.
"Come on, our qualified God of War!"
"Go ahead, Tang Chu! If you are a qualified God of War, you only need to work harder to reach third place, and you will score!"
"Tang Chu, you can definitely do it. I just need to watch you as a kid!"
There were cheers of cheers coming from inside the class. Tang Xu pursed his lips and chuckled, waved to everyone, and walked straight out of the crowd.
Qin Zheng looked at Tang Xu's retreating back and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she had never expected Tang Xu to take first place in the 100-meter dash, 3000 meters is equivalent to running 100 meters thirty times.
There is absolutely no comparison in difficulty between the two.
Qin Zheng actually had a hunch. After all, Tang Chu's title of passing God of War was very problematic. If he didn't answer all the questions with ease, how could he control his score just above the passing line every time? This was not luck at all.
It makes sense if it's good.
"Qin Zheng, don't worry, Brother Chu is much better than you think. Although there are two students with sports specialties competing with Brother Chu, they can't compare with Brother Chu."
Chang Le had a smile on his face and was not worried about Tang Xu at all, even though he was the first to know that there were two students with sports specialties competing with Tang Xu at the same time.
"Why do you have so much confidence in Tang Xu? Just because you are his fanatical fan?"
Faced with Qin Zheng's doubts, Chang Le folded his arms and smiled without saying a word.
Chang Le is actually not suitable for this kind of pretentious feeling, so at this moment he looks stupid in Qin Zheng's eyes.
On the other side, Tang Xu also saw the two so-called sports students that Chang Le mentioned in the preparation area next to the podium.
This kind of person is generally well-known in the grade group and often appears in various outdoor sports. Tang Xu often played basketball with Chang Le on the playground, and even played with these two people.
Of course, Tang Xu didn't remember the names of these two people at all.
When receiving the bib number, Tang Xu stood behind these two people. Both of them were strong and tall, with clear muscle lines on their arms.
They were chatting in front, and Tang Xu was listening in the back.
Obviously, as students with special sports skills and doing physical training every day, the two people already felt that they could take the top two spots in the competition.
After all, except for students with special sports skills, how can ordinary students train for 3,000 long-distance runners on weekdays?
They don't even know how to control a steady breath to consume energy evenly, and maybe their breath will go off halfway. They are more than enough to deal with such a novice.
When they noticed Tang Xu behind them, they greeted him symbolically.
"Tang Chu, are you here to participate in the 3,000-meter long-distance race? That's right. All those in your class who can run have been arranged to participate in the relay race. The first place in this high school sports meeting is either your Class 6 or Class 7, right?"
One of the sports students said to Tang Xu that he was quite familiar with Chang Le and naturally knew Tang Xu somewhat.
"Well, almost."
Tang Xu said casually, but the other party didn't care.
"As long as I get first place in this 3,000-meter long-distance race, if the girls in our class can get the top three, our Class 3 will also have a chance to get the first place. The premise is that your Classes 6 and 7 both compete in these two long-distance races.
I can’t get any ranking here. Tang Xu, come on."
The other party gave Tang Xu a thumbs up, with sympathy in his eyes and a profound expression on his face.
"Don't worry, I will do it."
Tang Xu's expression was very serious, with a relaxed smile on his lips. In the eyes of the other party, Tang Xu was just mocking himself, but in fact he was already ready to participate.
Under the command of the physical education teacher, the sophomore boys who were about to participate in the next competition stood on the starting line one after another.
With the sound of the starting gun, the prologue of the men's 3,000-meter long-distance race officially kicked off.
The boys moved forward in an orderly manner, and two sports students from Class 2 and Class 3 took the lead, breaking away from the large troops behind them.
"Oh, Contestant No. 2 and Contestant No. 3 quickly distanced themselves from the crowd behind them, and are currently about fifty meters ahead!"
On the rostrum, Senior Bai Han's tone was enthusiastic and enthusiastic. This was the last men's game of this sports meeting, so of course he had to give the audience the most perfect explanation.
"Contestant No. 8 seems to be catching up and will soon be ranked third!"
"Behind the No. 8 player is the No. 6 player. The No. 6 player follows the No. 8 player but does not choose to pass the opponent. Is he still conserving his energy? After all, the game has just begun!"
The announcement from the rostrum came out, and all the students in Class 2 and Class 6 heard it clearly.
Contestant No. 6 is naturally Tang Xu who is competing on the court. From the historical record of passing the God of War, Tang Xu can always stand above the 60-point passing line. In other words, he is one of the passing lines for this ten-person competition.
Above, it is the fourth position he currently occupies.
However, in traditional events, only the top three can score points. From the perspective of final score bonus, there is no difference between the fourth place and the tenth place, and neither will get points.
The lap was coming to an end soon. When Tang Chu passed by the front of his class, the cheers for him filled the sky, especially those led by Chang Le, which could be described as hysterical roars.
"Brother Zhu! Come on! Defeat them! No need to save face for me!"
Chang Le ran to the front of the team, looking very excited and positive like one of Tang Cu's fanatical fans.
Qin Zheng also stood up. She looked at Tang Xu's figure on the field from a distance, and her heart almost rose to her throat.
She was really worried about Tang Xu. If he had to run ten laps like this, could Tang Xu really persevere...
At this moment, Qin Zheng was not the only one in the class who had this idea. Many people's eyes were focused on Tang Xu and could not look away for a long time, including study committee member Zhao Zhishui.
Through her gold-rimmed round glasses, Zhao Zhishui's gaze kept following Tang Xu. She wanted to stand up and use her petite body to shout cheers for Tang Xu, but she couldn't.
In the eyes of his classmates, Zhao Zhishui was unsmiling and unsociable, so naturally he would not behave like this.
The girl with a bun face put her hands on her skirt and clenched them into fists, also worried about Tang Xu's physical condition on the field.
"Halfway through the second lap, Player No. 2 and Player 3 are inseparable. They are still in the lead. Player No. 8 in third place is trying to catch up, but it is difficult to shorten the distance!"
Tang Xu on the field was still in the fourth position halfway through the second lap. The No. 8 player mentioned by Senior Bai Han was not far in front of him on the left. Tang Xu could pass him with a little speed increase, but Tang Xu could pass him.
No.
Tang Xu briefly estimated the current situation on the field in his mind. The six people behind him were almost vulnerable. They basically had the attitude that success would be considered a success if they completed the race. This was also the reason why he was not ranked in fifth place, because
During Tang Chu's exams, he would never score exactly 60 points, as this would look too abrupt.
Player No. 8 in front of Tang Xu has been trying to shorten the distance between him and the two people in front. Although he has never succeeded, Tang Xu can feel that this guy is conserving his energy. Whether he has momentum in the second half of the race is another matter.
His current position is very safe, unobtrusive, and he can temporarily conserve his energy.
"At the end of the third lap, the situation on the field remains unchanged! It seems that all the players know that they will not be able to show their full strength until the last moment. At this time, it is also a good idea to choose to hide one's strength and bide one's time!"
The temperature was very high, and Tang Xu was soon sweating profusely from lap to lap.
The clothes he was wearing were soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin, making him feel uncomfortable.
Although Tang Xu knew before the competition that the 3,000-meter long-distance race required ten laps of the playground, now that he has truly experienced it, it is indeed a very long journey.
Tang Xu has not liked strong sunlight since he was a child. He prefers rainy days, because rainy days can keep people's thoughts quiet and put the body and mind in a peaceful situation.
Round after round, Tang Xu felt like a robot, always maintaining mechanical movement.
"It is currently the seventh lap, and runner No. 8, who is in third place, has begun to speed up his pace. It seems that he is preparing to catch up with runner No. 2 and 3 in front of him! The end of the long-distance race is the most interesting. It is not yet known who will win.
Dear students on the field, please stay motivated!"
Tang Xu sensed that the No. 8 player in front was preparing to sprint. Since there was not much left in the race after the eighth lap, it was natural to prepare for the final sprint.
To be continued...
