Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Coaches from several teams in the distance also witnessed this scene. Zhou Hu from the district sports institute was clearly unhappy to see his players being bullied.

"Hey, Old Wang next door, this young man you're training doesn't take any losses at all! It's not our tradition for track and field athletes for young people not to respect their seniors!"

Wang Qiao found it ridiculous. Previously, the team members from the district sports academy always outperformed those from Ningbo University's sports academy in terms of performance. Now, he finally had a team member who was capable of competing with them. As a form of competition, he was not going to show weakness.

"Who's Old Wang next door? Did your wife tell you everything about us? Hahaha!"

"You... watch your mouth!" Zhou Hu was a little exasperated when Wang Qiao turned around and confronted him so sharply.

"Haha, I was just kidding. Were you serious just now? Everyone saw it. Wu Bin was the one who provoked Lu Wei first. I didn't expect him to mess with us. To be honest, in terms of strength, Lu Wei is not afraid of Wu Bin from your team." Wang Qiao responded to Zhou Hu with a smile that hid a knife. Everyone had seen what happened. He was in the right. Whether it was reasoning or arguing, he was not afraid.

"Looking at it this way, Tang Yang is really something. Wu Bin obviously didn't get any advantage from him, so he went to Lu Wei. He didn't expect to run into obstacles everywhere, haha!" Sun Jun chimed in from the side. He was also very unhappy with the team members from the district sports institute. Relying on the fact that their team could recruit the best players in the district, their team, whether coaches or players, had been acting arrogantly for the past few years. Today, he finally found an opportunity to provoke them.

"Young people are fearless and have a lot of spirit. Hu Yuan handled this matter quite well, which is worthy of the title of Ningcheng's top 400m athlete. Today's competition is very interesting!"

At this point, the eight athletes participating in the finals were already on the track, and the referee quickly shouted the command: "On your marks... Get set!"

"Oh!"

With the sound of the starting gun fired by the referee, the eight athletes participating in the final sprint pushed off the starting blocks, and the curtain rose on the 400-meter final.

"Lu Wei, keep it up!"

"Go Hu Yuan!"

After the eight runners started, the audience erupted in deafening cheers. Normally, many spectators who received complimentary tickets wouldn't return to watch the races in the afternoon after the morning's competition.

However, today was an exception. Lu Wei's last-minute battle against Tang Yang in the morning left a deep impression on the audience. In addition, there was the 100-meter final in the afternoon, and many viewers felt that they had not had enough. They spontaneously returned to the stadium to watch the competition in the afternoon.

Students from Ningbo University made up nearly half of the audience in the afternoon, so the cheers for Lu Wei were clearly dominant.

On the track, Lu Wei pushed off the ground hard after the start. Because he won first place in the preliminaries, he was assigned to lane 4 in the final. Hu Yuan was in lane 5, Wu Bin and Tang Yang were in lanes 3 and 6 respectively, and the other "extras" were assigned to the edge of the track.

At the start of the final race, Lu Wei did not adopt the same aggressive stance he displayed in the morning's preliminary rounds, determined to surpass everyone else. Following Wang Qiao's instructions, he gradually raised his center of gravity while accelerating through the curves, only fully lifting his body after 30 meters.

He knew very well that although he ranked first in the preliminaries, Hu Yuancai was the strongest among the eight finalists. Hu Yuancai had clearly slowed down in the last 10 meters of the preliminaries, but his time was still comparable to his own. Wu Bin and Tang Yang were also no less capable than him, so he did not rashly accelerate at full speed in the early stages.

Hu Yuan started ahead of him in his lane, so he planned to keep an eye on his opponents in the early stages. No one else adopted an aggressive running style on the curves.

After entering the straightaway, these four athletes gradually pulled away from the other four.

"Everyone is accelerating in the first 100 meters, and these four have already gained an advantage. Their level in the first 100 meters is about 11.5 seconds, which is not significantly different from the world's top athletes. This event is all about rhythm and ability in the last 200 meters." Coach Jiang shared his views while watching the competition, and everyone listened attentively.

Of the other three coaches, Zhou Hu from the district sports institute seemed relatively relaxed, given that he had Hu Yuan, Ningcheng's top 400-meter runner, under his command.

Of the current team members, only Hu Yuan can run under 46 seconds, and he can guarantee a time of under 46 seconds in every competition.

Wang Qiao and Sun Jun looked a little serious. Sun Jun hoped that Tang Yang could make it into the top 3 in the finals and guarantee his qualification for the National Championships.

Wang Qiao was completely uncertain about the outcome. Lu Wei's sub-46.5-second run in the morning's preliminary round was already a pleasant surprise. However, having come this far, everyone wanted their team members to achieve better results, and for these individuals, Lu Wei was the X-factor in this competition.

This time, Lu Wei was able to remain calm. The preliminary round made him realize that he couldn't defeat his opponents in one fell swoop, so he could only suppress his eagerness to explode and keep pace with Hu Yuan's speed.

Just as everyone expected, the four team members on both sides began their performance of "drag and cover the main force's retreat".

"If the camera were filming the 400-meter race at this moment, without zooming in on the wide shot, the 'extras' would no longer appear in the broadcast. Skill is a terrifying thing." Sun Jun described the way the race was conducted in a very vivid way. As someone who has been around the block, his verbal skills are indeed impressive.

"The 400-meter race is a sport where skill is everything; if you're not as skilled as others, it's hard to create an upset." Coach Jiang succinctly revealed the essence of this event.

Entering the second bend, Wu Bin could no longer contain himself. He began to accelerate, wanting to establish an advantage as soon as possible. He knew very well that he was no match for Hu Yuan in the final straight, so he took the initiative and prepared to give it his all.

He felt that even if he failed, he could at least get second place. Apart from Hu Yuan, he didn't take the other two people seriously at all.

His acceleration triggered a chain reaction, and the other three team members also began to accelerate. Lu Wei was already on the verge of exploding, and with his prompting, his inner power immediately ignited, and he began to increase his stride frequency on the curves.

"This is bad. If he speeds up at this distance, he'll definitely have problems with aerobic endurance later on." Wang Qiao knew that in terms of overall running pace, Lu Wei was lagging behind the other three. He thought that competing with his opponents in the final stretch was the safest option, but he didn't expect Lu Wei to still be so impulsive.

"Accelerating on the curve is not a wise choice. Wu Bin's acceleration on the outside lane was probably a pre-planned tactic. Accelerating at this time would consume too much of Lu Wei's energy. To accelerate on a curve, you need to expend more energy to overcome the centrifugal force caused by the turn. The same amount of energy is much less effective than on a straightaway. This young man is still too inexperienced!"
