Lin Feng and his team naturally appeared in the best position in the stands, where Liu Xiang finished his race. Here you can most clearly see Liu Xiang crossing the finish line first, and you can clearly witness his victory and his domineering celebration.

Naturally, when Lin Feng and his group appeared here, it was another beautiful sight. A little green among thousands of flowers is really eye-catching. Before Liu Xiang came out, almost all the cameras were focused on Lin Feng and the ladies. The commentators from various countries also temporarily gave up commentating on some other games, and made fun of the clothes of the nine ladies, Lin Feng, and commented on who wore them. Who is more international, who wears sexier clothes, who wears more innocent clothes...

The girls have long been accustomed to these teases, so they don't take it to heart and just look forward to Liu Xiang's arrival. For Liu Xiang, not only Liu Yifei, but also Chinese people like Huang Shuqi, including Avril Lavigne, Jessica, Sharapova and other foreigners also like and admire her very much.

The reason is simple: track and field has always been a black world. The innate advantages of black people give them a great advantage in track and field. In the past, only white people could compete. But at that time, white people were able to compete with black people mainly because black people's training was not systematic enough. Once black people's training was systematic, white people would not be able to do it. This can be seen in many different fields. Not to mention track and field, even in sports such as tennis, basketball, and football, black people have the upper hand in terms of physical fitness. White people or yellow people may have the upper hand in terms of skills, but when it comes to absolute physical fitness, black people still have the upper hand.

In the track and field arena dominated by blacks, Liu Xiang, a yellow man, can break the monopoly of blacks and break world records, Olympic records, and many other world records. This in itself is a miracle. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiang is also a miracle abroad. Abroad, many Westerners speak highly of Liu Xiang. And this 110-meter hurdles also has very high ratings abroad.

Everyone wants to know, can Liu Xiang win another gold medal at the Beijing Olympics or even break the world record? This makes many people look forward to it. The girls were also discussing Liu Xiang's achievements this year. Lin Feng, on the other hand, looked slightly solemn. What will happen to Liu Xiang really makes Lin Feng a little worried. Although Lin Feng has hired the best nutritionist, the best physical therapist, and the most scientific training equipment for Liu Xiang, Lin Feng is still worried about something happening to Liu Xiang.

History always has striking similarities. Lin Feng felt somewhat worried. After all, it has taken so many years for China's track and field competition to produce such a genius. If he still falls into national reviling, it will be a harm to Liu Xiang and a harm to the people.

At this moment, Lin Feng's phone rang. It was Liu Xiang's coach Sun Haiping who called him.

Seeing this phone call, Lin Feng had a premonition that something was wrong.

"Mr. Lin, can you come here? There are some things that are not convenient to discuss on the phone.

"Sun Haiping's voice was very solemn.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, then he remained calm, told the girls to go to the bathroom and went down, where he met coach Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang.

One look at the faces of the two people and Lin Feng knew that he was in trouble.

"Injured your foot? Do you want to withdraw from the competition?" Lin Feng asked.

Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang were both surprised. They didn't expect Lin Feng to guess it, but then they thought about the miracles Lin Feng had created. They looked relieved, but then nodded with a serious expression.

"It's all my fault. I was too anxious. I hurt him." Facing Lin Feng, Sun Haiping looked remorseful.

"It has nothing to do with the coach, it's my own problem." Liu Xiang whispered, and at the same time, he kicked the wall hard with his foot.

Lin Feng frowned.

"What's going on?" Lin Feng asked with a frown. He had hired the best physical therapist and the best nutrition team, so why was he still injured? Why is this? This is what Lin Feng desperately wants to understand.

At this time, Sun Haiping took a deep breath.

"It's like this. The 110-meter hurdles have always been climbed in eight steps. This is the usual hurdle pace for the entire 110-meter hurdles. As for the seven-step hurdles used by Liu Xiang, only four people have used it so far. The first The first person to use seven steps to climb the hurdles is Finnish player Brugaray, the second is American Hicks, and the third is Cuban genius Robles and American flying player Oliver. They all use seven steps to climb the hurdles. "Sun. Haiping explained, "The seven-step hurdles use fewer steps and longer steps, so you can get a faster initial speed, which can directly improve your performance by a level! Therefore, in order to fight against Robles and Oliver, and to overcome The yellow race has a natural racial disadvantage. After discussing with Liu Xiang, we also decided to adopt a seven-step approach to the hurdles!"

Lin Feng nodded. This is known. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang hit the hurdles in eight steps. However, the results have been ups and downs. But Lin Feng remembers that during the Olympic Games, Liu Xiang did not choose the seven-step hurdles.

"This is the result of our secret training. Since the Beijing Olympics is too important and attracts everyone's attention, Liu Xiang has been secretly training on the seven-step hurdles, hoping to use this year's Olympics as a secret weapon to win gold. However, the seven-step hurdles require too high physical fitness. Although Liu Xiang's height is barely enough, 189 cm, which is basically enough for the seven-step hurdles, the explosive power required for the seven-step hurdles is too amazing. Liu Xiang's explosive power is extremely outstanding among the yellow race, and can be regarded as outstanding. Few people can match him. But Liu Xiang is not black after all. He does not have the physical fitness of black people, especially the body recovery rate!" Sun Haiping looked self-blaming.

Then Sun Haiping carefully introduced the skills of the seven-step hurdles.

The seven-step hurdles means running to the first hurdle in seven steps, which is one step faster than running to the first hurdle in eight steps, but it requires strong explosive power. It is a high-end hurdle technique popular in traditional and modern hurdle sports. Generally, people with long legs and strong explosive power use seven steps, while those of medium build use eight steps. After the start, the powerful athletes in Europe and America basically use 7 steps to reach the hurdle. The advantages of changing from 8 steps to 7 steps are very obvious. "If one step is reduced, it will definitely shorten the time if the previous step frequency is followed." In addition, the new technology is also conducive to moving the center of gravity forward. "Because of this feature of the 7-step hurdle, its back-kick force is greater than the 8-step hurdle, its forwardness is better than the 8-step hurdle, and it is more active when attacking the hurdle." Just mathematical calculation: Liu Xiang completes the entire 110-meter race in about 41 steps. Assuming that the result is above 13 seconds, the average time per step will exceed 0.3 seconds, which means that he saves at least 0.3 seconds by running one less step. Considering that the starting running frequency is higher than the hurdle-to-hurdle frequency, and the change to 7 steps to reach the hurdle increases the length of each step by about 0.245 meters, it will also take more time. Therefore, after the successful transformation of technology, the result improvement of 0.2 seconds is relatively objective.

0.2 seconds is a very amazing improvement for the 110-meter hurdle. But this also has a disadvantage, that is, it puts too much load on the body. The first Finnish athlete to adopt the seven-step approach to the hurdles, Brugare, was 2.04 meters tall, so his steps were naturally larger than others, which was his advantage, but because he was too tall, it was difficult for him to gain an advantage in speed.

American Hicks was the second player to adopt the seven-step approach to the hurdles, but he was 1.87 meters tall and suffered injuries one after another, and failed to achieve any brilliant results. He thus became a typical example of the failure of the 8-to-7 approach. After that, it was American athlete Oliver, who made obvious progress after changing from 8 to 7. Although Cuban genius Robles has not changed from 8 to 7 at present, he is also planning to change from 8 to 7 to improve his performance.

The Beijing Olympics is of great importance and the whole nation is paying attention, so Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang decided to conduct special training from 8 to 7 after consultation. There are results. After overcoming the initial discomfort, the results have improved significantly. Sun Haiping believes that Liu Xiang's talent allows him to become the king of the 110-meter hurdles. But he underestimated the extremely high load that the seven-step hurdles would put on the body. Liu Xiang's Achilles tendon could not withstand the huge impact of the seven-step hurdles, and his Achilles tendon was injured, and it was severely injured, and it was shortly before the Olympics.

This is bad news for Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang. As for why Oliver's performance has steadily improved, it is naturally because he is black and his Achilles tendon is strong enough. The physical fitness of black people is incomparable to other races.

"Then why didn't you say it in advance, and only said it now?" Lin Feng frowned. Although the mystery of Liu Xiang's injury has been figured out, why didn't you say it in advance? Everyone has entered the venue, sitting in front of the TV, waiting for you to play. You escaped at the last minute and said you didn't want to compete. Can everyone accept it? If you said in advance that you were injured and couldn't play, everyone would accept it. But now, can everyone still accept it?

Everyone's emotions are unacceptable. This is a very bad public relations method. This is terrible! Asking yourself, Lin Feng is a little angry. You have an injury, just say it earlier! It's been delayed until now. We are about to go to the battlefield, and you just said you are injured and can't go. What a thing!

"It's all my fault. I still have a glimmer of hope. I..." Sun Haiping blamed himself repeatedly, but Liu Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly roared.

"Coach, what does this have to do with you? It's all those leaders, all them. They said that because of the sponsorship contract, we can't tell you in advance. If we tell you, there will be less sponsorship, which is not conducive to the development of the entire track and field team. It's their fault! And it's also them who forced us to do the special training of eight to seven in advance, which led to my injury! It's not that they insisted on me winning the gold medal and winning glory for the country. I can only win and not lose. I would not agree to such a hasty eight to seven, and I wouldn't be injured! At least I can still fight with Oliver!" Liu Xiang yelled out of control.

Lin Feng understood that this was another idea that the leader came up with. This is certainly good for the leaders and the track and field team, but it is too bad for Liu Xiang. This makes Liu Xiang unable to face the national audience!

Sun Haiping was silent. He did not refute, but at least he looked at Lin Feng for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think we should do now?" Sun Haiping looked at Lin Feng with pleading eyes. R1152
