I'm the principal of the sports school

Chapter 25 The Preliminaries Begin

"What a coincidence, we met here again."

Hearing a familiar voice, Long Ji turned his head and saw that it was the black and strong boy from before.

"Hello, let's get to know each other again, I'm Hu Qixiong!" Hu Qixiong showed his signature white teeth.

"Hu Qixiong? Hu Qixiong with a registration time of 10 seconds?" Long Ji thought of this, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He Jianfeng told him that there are two people who need to pay attention to this competition, one is Chen Yaohui with a registration time of 11 seconds, and the other is Hu Qixiong.

"I'm number 12, and I'm 4 in the second group of the preliminaries. How about you?" Hu Qixiong shook the number plate on his hand before Long Ji introduced himself.

"I'm number 26."

"I'm number 7."

"I'm number 40."

Longji took out his number plate from his pocket, and there was a number written on it: 5
There are a total of 64 contestants in this competition, and each contestant has its own number.

This is the first time he has been assigned to the first group in an official game, and there is no buffer time as soon as he enters the field.

"Number 5, tsk, what a pity, you won't be in the same team as me. If you get into the semi-finals by chance, you won't have such good luck."

Hu Qixiong looked at the number plate in Long Ji's hand, and immediately taunted him.

"It should be your luck, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even make it to the semi-finals." Long Ji also shot back.

"you!"

"Okay, okay, let's compete together, this is fate! Friendship comes first, competition comes second!"

When the surrounding players saw that the two were a bit tit-for-tat, they hurried over to persuade them.

"I'm not familiar with you, why did you come here and say these things out of nowhere?" Long Ji was speechless.

"Originally, I just wanted to get to know you, but if you defend Yue Bing, I look down on you. Yue Bing is a coward, what's wrong with saying a few words about him?" Hu Qixiong said angrily.

"Why do you say Yue Bing is cowardly?"

"Just because he didn't even dare to run in the 100-meter semi-finals of the Provincial Games! It's embarrassing for our Guyang city!"

"What!?" Long Ji couldn't believe it, "How could this happen?"

Hu Qixiong sneered: "How could this be? I'm scared! Because Yue Bing is alone, those of us who are in the sports school outside Guyang City are treated as a joke."

"But... Even if you don't dare to run, you shouldn't be ridiculed. Everyone is in a bad state..." Long Ji couldn't understand.

"It's not just that he doesn't dare to run! He still..."

Just as Hu Qixiong was halfway through speaking, the loudspeaker of the Guyang City Stadium rang: "Athletes participating in the 100-meter preliminaries of Group B, please go to the South Gate for inspection! Participate in..."

"Don't talk about it, it's annoying to think about it!" Hu Qixiong threw his coat over his shoulder, turned his head and walked towards the inspection point.

But Long Ji was full of doubts and incomprehensions, and hurriedly chased after him to ask, but Hu Qixiong didn't pay any attention.

"Don't tell me, I'll ask myself when I see him next time."

"up to you."

When we arrived at the inspection office at the south gate of the stadium, there were already contestants waiting in line.

The so-called check-in is actually just a process to determine whether it is the person participating in the competition. The number 64 person quickly completed the check-in and sat on the sidelines waiting to enter.

He Jianfeng, who had walked for a while beforehand, also rushed to Longji's side before the game:
"Longji, run well, remember what we told you during your usual training."

Zhang Chuyan and He Jianfeng have already taught what should be taught and said, and the rest depends more on Longji himself.

"Don't do nothing before the race. First, you need to warm up well, and second, you must carefully recall the technical details of the 100-meter run from the start to the sprint."

This is the game trick that Zhang Chuyan told Long Ji. When people's attention is focused on something, it is not so easy to be disturbed by other things.

10 minutes before the game, the south gate of the stadium opened slowly. He Jianfeng had already used his coaching privileges to run into the field, and the coach did not need to follow the athletes when they entered the field.

The 64 people lined up in two columns according to the order of numbers. As soon as they entered the venue, everyone in the team fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little tense.

Long Ji took a deep breath, the air was filled with a faint plastic smell, a little pungent, but it cleared his mind instantly.

When they came to the 100-meter starting line, they were divided into groups, with 8 people in each row, forming a small 8×8 square formation.

There are eight signs from 1 to 8 on the starting line, and behind them are eight staff members in red uniforms, and a storage box is placed in front of each of them.

This is for the contestants to put their clothes on, and they will put these clothes in the resting place at the finish line.

Long Ji had put his clothes in his bag in advance when he entered the arena, so he could just put his bag in the storage box. He didn’t have to undress in public like everyone else, he only needed to change the spikes. .

His spikes are 6-spike running shoes that Zhang Chuyan specially chose for him. They are also black, white and red, and they look like a complete set with the traditional "dragon" on the back of his training suit.

The spikes on the market are mainly 7 spikes, while the 6 spikes running shoes are more suitable for sprinters who are technically strong but not so strong.

This set of clothes stood out instantly among the mediocre first group of players. Others' track suits were either red, or green and blue, and other colors were basically invisible.

Long Ji felt that if it weren't for the requirement of uniforms in the city games, many athletes would never wear track suits to participate in the competition.

He could feel that the eyes of many people in the stands were on him.

The Guyang City Stadium is located in the city center, so not only the city leaders watched the game, but the stands were almost full of citizens watching the game

"It's better like this! The more people run, the more excited they are? It's a pity that the principal didn't come." Long Ji thought silently.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Chuyan came this time, and was watching the athletes on the field with the "eye of insight" in the stands behind him.

"Ma Junlin, 15 years old, with a comprehensive potential of 72."

"Sun Zhen, 15 years old, with a comprehensive potential of 70."

"Fu Xisong, 16 years old, with a comprehensive potential of 75."

"Hu Qixiong, 17 years old...huh? Comprehensive potential 90?"

Most of the players participating in the City Games had a comprehensive potential between 70 and 75. Suddenly, a tall man with a potential of 90 appeared in a group of short people, and Zhang Chuyan immediately marked it down.

While he was observing the contestants on the field, the stadium broadcast sounded:

"Group B men's 100m preliminaries are about to start, please leave the venue quickly for irrelevant personnel..."

"coming!"

The audience on the sidelines is no longer noisy.

"The first group is ready to go on the road."

Longji took two deep breaths, and then slowly exhaled, the whole person's state suddenly calmed down.

But those who are familiar with him know that this is the last calm before the storm.
