Chen Qiang only knew Zhu Baozhang, the "king of sprinting" of the last National Games, but he didn't know who Zhang Shiguang and Zeng Rongzhong were.

However, since Cheng Jinguan knew their names, Chen Qiang could guess that these two people were also very powerful athletes.

So Chen Qiang asked, "Zhang Shiguang and Zeng Rongzhong, are they very powerful?"

Cheng Jinguan immediately explained: "Zhang Shiguang is from Tsinghua University in Peking and Professor Ma John's beloved disciple. It is said that he is the number one 'scud' in Peking. He has compared with foreigners at the World Games. Many foreigners are not his opponents. There is a saying in Peking that Liu Changchun outside the pass and Zhang Shiguang inside the pass!"

"So it's Mr. Ma's beloved disciple!" Chen Qiang said suddenly as if he realized it.

"What Mr. Ma, Professor Ma is less than fifty years old this year." Cheng Jinguan said.

Chen Qiang smiled and said in his heart: "In my eyes, you Cheng Jinguan are both Mr. Cheng, let alone Mr. Ma!"

Chen Qiang is still very familiar with Professor John Ma from Tsinghua University.

Mr. John Ma is a famous Chinese sports educator. He is a professor in the Department of Sports at Tsinghua University. He has gone to Springfield College in the United States to study sports twice, and is proficient in football, tennis, baseball, track and field and other sports. In 1936, he participated in the Berlin Olympics as the head coach of the Chinese team's track and field. After liberation, he served as chairman of the Athletics Association and chairman of the National Sports Federation. He devoted his life to China's sports career, which can be said to be a banner of Chinese sports.

"Since he is a great disciple of Professor Ma, Zhang Shiguang must be extremely powerful." Chen Qiang continued, "Then what is the advantage of Zeng Rongzhong?"

"Zeng Rongzhong is a native of Hangzhou. He studied at National Central University and was named the 'No. 1 fastest leg in Jiangnan'. His coach is an American, so Zeng Rongzhong also trains according to the standards of American athletes. It is said that no one is his opponent in the entire south of the Yangtze River." Cheng Jinguan explained.

Chen Qiang nodded again. He had read some records in later generations and knew that there were foreigners among the physical education teachers at National Central University.

American Mike Le taught there since the founding of the National Central University and did not leave until the 1930s. Later, German Gerhan also came to the National Central University to teach physical education courses.

The United States and Germany, both at that time and now, were both sports powers. The level of American coaches and German coaches was still very high. The disciples they trained would definitely not be rookies and weak.

What's more, Zeng Rongzhong is a local from Hangzhou. As the host player, there will definitely be a morale bonus during the game. It can be imagined that the game in which Zeng Rongzhong appears must be cheering for him.

Cheng Jinguan continued: "Zhang Shiguang and Zeng Rongzhong, both have the strength to enter the finals. In addition, Zhu Baozhang and you, your group is equivalent to four finals players, and only two of them can advance. Your group is a well-deserved death group. I really don't know why you four are divided together. It's fine if the person in the group doesn't know your strength, but you must know Zhu Baozhang, Zhang Shiguang and Zeng Rongzhong. In theory, no matter how many people are grouped, these three people cannot be in the same group."

Chen Qiang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. The general comes to block the water and the soil. If the opponent is strong, will he not play? The stronger the opponent is, the more he should fight!"

...

100m sprint rematch.

Liu Changchun stood at the starting line and took a deep breath. He felt that his condition was much better today than yesterday.

He was injured. From Northeast to Hangzhou, there were trains and boats along the way, which made him unable to recover from his injuries at all. Fighting with injuries would inevitably worsen his injuries.

So when he first arrived in Hangzhou, he took a break and didn't even attend the opening ceremony.

Yesterday afternoon, he insisted on completing the 100-meter preliminary round and then went back to rest. Fortunately, the preliminary round was not difficult for Liu Changchun, and even if he was injured, he could easily advance.

After a night of rest, Liu Changchun felt that he had recovered from 70% to 80%. Of course, the injuries on his body would still drag down his speed.

The commander said "preparation", and Liu Changchun set out to start.

After the gunshots rang out, Liu Changchun immediately rushed out of the runway, and then moved forward like a wild horse.

"The speed is really fast!" Chen Qiang couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Changchun was injured, and he did not have the sprinting skills like Chen Qiang, but with his body alone, he ran to crush everyone.

At fifty meters, Liu Changchun's advantage was enough to ensure victory, but Chen Qiang could feel that Liu Changchun was a little weak afterwards.

Chen Qiang couldn't help but recall some records about Liu Changchun's participation in the Olympics. It is said that he had advantages in the first half, and every time he was in the second half, or even when he was about to reach the finish line, he would be surpassed by foreigners.

"The weakness in the second half is not only Liu Changchun's problem, but also a common problem for Chinese sprinters!" Chen Qiang shook his head. The weakness in the second half is still not solved even in the early 21st century.

Not only Chinese athletes are like this, but many white athletes are not as good as the first half.

After 2010, almost all the world's top sprinters in the second half of the year have had the title of world champion. For example, Bolt, his second half is invincible.

On the track, Liu Changchun had already crossed the finish line, and the referee quickly gave his score, 11 seconds 4!

The 11-second 4-second score of the national second-level athletes has just exceeded the standard. It is nothing in later generations. Several can be captured in county-level middle schools. But in this era, in the stadium of the 4th National Games of Old China, this is the fastest result that has been seen so far.

"It's really worthy of being Liu Changchun. Even if he fights with injuries, he can still run 11.4 seconds." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Changchun, who successfully advanced to the finals, did not stay for too long, nor did he stay in the stadium to watch other people's games. He left early and went back to the locker room to rest and recuperate.

Next, it's Chen Qiang's turn to make his debut.

Everyone's eyes were gathered here, and everyone knew that this was a group of death.

...

On the rostrum, the examination dean saw the "ordinary sneakers" that made him extremely embarrassed yesterday.

Thinking of being slapped in the face twenty seconds yesterday, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and a sense of depression appeared in his eyes.

Today he decided not to say anything, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

At this time, Director Lu came over.

"Director, you see, the third player from here is Zhu Baozhang from Tianjin. In the last National Games, he won all three gold medals in sprints alone!"

"Director, look at Zhu Baozhang's right side. His name is Zhang Shiguang, from Peking, nicknamed Peking Scud, and his strength is comparable to that of Liu Changchun in the previous game!"

"Director, look at the person who depends on the most. His name is Zeng Rongzhong, from National Central University, nicknamed Jiangnan No. 1 fastest leg. No one can escape him south of the Yangtze River!"

"Dean, there are six people in a group, and only two players can advance to the finals, so this group is really strong. If you want to advance, it is harder than to reach the sky! Some unknown contestants are over here."

Director Lu introduced it for a long time, and the director of the exam also understood what was going on. This was a deliberate arrangement of a death group for the "ordinary sports shoes", which prevented him from advancing to the finals.

I have to say that being an official is really good, being a high-ranking official is better. If you don’t need to ask for revenge, someone will help him solve it.

At this time, the dean of the exam was quite satisfied. This satisfaction was not caused by Chen Qiang's revenge, but by the flattery below.

It is impossible that he is narrow-minded and unhappy when he sits in the position of the director of the exam. He will not take revenge on Chen Qiang for the sake of his handsomeness yesterday in just twenty seconds.

However, when the officials below did this in private, it still shows that his leader is very well-known, which allows him to enjoy the satisfaction brought by power.

This is how many officials are. They may not be greedy for money, nor may they use their power for personal gain, but they will enjoy the feeling of being in power and responding to them. The status brought to them by power will make them particularly satisfied.

The examination director still planned to understand his subordinates who had the sensible value, so he glanced at Director Lu and asked, "What's your name to be Lu?"

"I am not good at Lu Youqi." Director Lu said quickly.

"Yeah, very good, very good." The director of the exam nodded with satisfaction.

Director Lu was immediately overjoyed. This flattery was considered a successful slap!

Next to them, Director Lu's colleagues all cast envious and jealous eyes.

Isn’t it just to arrange a death group? What’s the difficulty? It’s so worth it to be able to flatter the director of the exam with this little trick! Why didn’t I expect it!
