I can see the commodity price curve

Since the 1896-meter race was included in the Olympic Games in 100, it has become a symbol of the fastest people in the world.

And among all track and field events, the attention paid to the 100 meters, especially the men's 100 meters, has always been the highest in history.

But there is also a difference between the highest and the highest.

Everyone's attention to the men's 100-meter race reached its peak from 2008 to 2017.

The reason for this is entirely because of one person.

Yes, he is the Jamaican sprinter, super flyer Usain Bolt.

After Bolt retired, the popularity of the men's 100-meter race was cut in half.

There is no way. Take the Tokyo Olympics as an example. The men's 100m championship time was 9 seconds.

These are two completely different concepts from a game with Bolt on the court.

Even if everyone wanted to pay attention, they couldn’t muster the energy!

But today, at the Universiade held in Zhongzhou, a world competition that attracts less attention, everyone's expectations for this project have once again been raised to the top.

The reason is simple, that man is back.

It was sudden, but mixed with unparalleled domineering.

He is back.

In the semifinals, Li Zhi's heart was beating fast.

But it's not nervousness, it's excitement.

The reason is simple. Right next to him, on the adjacent pass, Bolt is standing there, like a huge brown bear.

Yes, Li Zhi, who also advanced to the semi-finals, will soon compete with Bolt.

This reminded him of the World Championships held in Beijing.

At that time, Su Bingtian and Bolt were on adjacent tracks.

The only difference between the two is that Su Bingtian was on the inside track and Bolt was on the outside track.

This time Bolt was on the inside and Li Zhi was on the outside.

Is this what God has decreed?

As the most outstanding 100-meter athlete of the younger generation, Li Zhi's performance cannot be compared with that of Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye.

But he has the most potential. He only needs two more years of training before his qualities in all aspects will reach their peak, and then his stage will be his.

As for today, Li Zhi knew that the 100-meter semifinals of this Universiade was already his limit.

Because he was the last one among all the players to advance.

The strength is there, even if it is an extraordinary performance, there is still a lot of gap between it and the finals.

but……

The last time I took a look at Bolt, compared with his opponent who was famous on the 100-meter track, Bolt is still a lot fatter now, even though he has tried his best to lose weight.

However, this excessive obesity for a sprinter does not seem to have affected the legend.

His eyes were determined, and he looked toward the finish line full of desire, especially his domineering attitude and unparalleled self-confidence, which Li Zhi did not possess at all.

Suddenly, Li Zhi ran towards the audience, where his coach was.

The coach was holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, obviously writing something.

Li Zhi took advantage of him not paying attention and snatched the paper and pen back.

"Hey, I said you kid..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi had already run away.

When he came to Bolt again, Li Zhi handed Bolt the pen and notebook in his hand and asked in his less proficient English: "Master, can you sign your name for me?"

He said this with some trembling. After all, everyone was preparing for the next shot and was highly concentrated.

Now there is a player asking another player for an autograph, which is definitely the first time in history.

Bolt glanced at Li Zhi and shook his head: "Sorry, I usually don't sign autographs for people."

Li Zhi was stunned, his face full of disappointment.

As a result, Bolt's tone changed: "Unless you can surpass me or advance to the finals."

"This..." Li Zhi was a little sluggish.

But when he looked at Bolt's encouraging eyes, for some reason, an inexplicable power surged into his heart.

Closing his eyes gently, he put the pen and notebook in his hand on the ground and slowly walked onto the starting block.

At this time, the referee also informed everyone to take their positions.

preparation,

boom!

The moment the familiar electronic gun sounded, Li Zhi rushed out like an arrow from a string.

He stepped on the ground with both feet, and his body was like thunder, one step, two steps, three steps.

This is not Li Zhi's top speed, but Li Zhi feels that he is faster than ever.

How should I put it, this is a feeling, a feeling of breakthrough.

As we all know, in the 100-meter race, although everyone is sprinting, that is, running at the highest speed throughout the entire race.

But this kind of maximum speed throughout the entire journey is different from releasing all the power throughout the entire journey.

For humans, if they release all their power, they can basically only run thirty meters.

Those athletes who have received professional training can last fifty to sixty meters.

Once it exceeds sixty meters, the power will be exhausted, followed by a relative attenuation of speed.

Although this attenuation is relatively weak, it is still attenuated.

For example, Su Bingtian in the early days broke out with all his strength from the beginning and rushed to the first place.

But once it exceeds sixty meters, others will catch up and overtake it.

Later, he chose to start and change feet in order to retain some strength in the first 60 meters so that he could maintain the highest speed possible for the next 40 meters.

Li Zhi's situation was actually similar. He ran with all his strength in the beginning, but then began to fade in the second half.

It's just that Su Bingtian can choose to change his feet because of his special health, but he can't.

So Li Zhi has been looking for that feeling, running the first 60 meters at a sub-maximal speed and sub-maximal strength that are slightly lower than his maximum speed and ultimate strength.

However, this kind of thing is easy to say, but not so difficult to do.

Li Zhi tried for two years and still had no clue.

But now he has done it, yes, this is what it feels like.

Li Zhi finally understood why he couldn't do it before.

He always wanted to control his speed so that he could run very fast without exerting all his strength.

But the question is, this one runs very fast. How fast is it? How much strength do you have to use if you don’t give it your all?

He didn't know, and his coach couldn't tell.

Not only his coach, even if Su Bingtian was called over, the other party would not do it.

Otherwise, Su Bingtian wouldn't have bothered to change his starting foot.

But now Li Zhi understands.

Wanting to complete the first sixty meters at the sub-highest speed and sub-highest strength is not because he deliberately reserves too much strength, but because he is confident.

You can easily do this as long as you have enough confidence in yourself.

If you don’t have confidence, you won’t be able to do it even in twenty years, let alone two years.

This sounds a bit magical, but it’s not difficult to understand.

Just like the legendary best swordsman in the world.

Such a top swordsman competes with others, even if his opponent is stronger than himself, faster than himself, or even better than himself in every aspect.

But he won in the end.

The reason is very simple. He has long been number one in the world. This kind of number one is not only about swordsmanship, but also about spirit.

A person's mental strength can make him more calm in his attacks, calmer in mentality, and more confident in facing the enemy.

For top players, calmness, composure, and confidence are more important than skills.

"come on, come on, come on!"

Suddenly the Zhongzhou Stadium was boiling.

All the viewers saw a scene that they could not believe.

Li Zhi, who was originally at the bottom and had no hope of advancement, unexpectedly surpassed his opponents step by step despite starting slightly behind.

Soon he was eighth and running into fourth. Then the third, the second.

In front of him, only Bolt remained.

But Li Zhi was surprisingly calm, calm and calm.

That's right, he hasn't recovered from the strange state just now.

Two feet stepped on the runway, walking briskly, as if flying in mid-air wearing a wingsuit.

The two arms swing in a strange and rhythmic way.

Fifty meters later, his speed actually got a little faster.

Sixty meters later, Li Zhi did not slow down.

Seventy meters later, he also did not slow down.

When the coach sitting in the audience saw this scene, his expression was in disbelief.

He even once wondered if he, the student running on the track, had secretly taken medicine?

At eighty meters, Li Zhi's speed finally began to decrease.

There is no way, this is an inevitable phenomenon, but the attenuation is not much.

Ninety meters later, the third place behind him was already one position behind Li Zhi.

Of course, he was also left behind by Bolt.

But it doesn't matter. With the previous advantage, the last ten meters have little impact.

Just when Li Zhi thought that he would enter the finals in second place.

Suddenly, Bolt in front slowed down, Li Zhi was stunned, and subconsciously crossed the finish line.

Did you win?

Soon, the results were displayed on the big screen:

First place, Li Zhi, 9 seconds 92.

Second place, Bolt, 9 seconds 94.

……

Did you really win? And not only did he win, he also tied the second best result in his career, Su Bingtian, the number one sprinter in China?

Isn't this incredible?

Thunderous cheers rang out again, and just as Li Zhileng was meeting, a big hand patted his shoulder, it was Bolt.

Looking at Li Zhi, Bolt smiled slightly: "Well done!"

Li Zhi seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and ran towards the starting point.

When he came back again, he already had a notebook and a pen in his hand: "Can you sign for me this time?"

Bolt laughed and wrote an English word on it: Confidence!

Li Zhi clenched his fists instantly, and his eyes lit up again when he saw Bolt.

That's right, it's confidence.

Not only myself, but also the man in front of me.

The other party's self-confidence surpassed his own by several levels.

Even in the Olympic finals, he can make all kinds of incredible celebrations when he hits the line.

For other 100-meter athletes, let alone celebrations, they dare not let their bodies deform even a little bit.

Because as long as he transforms, he might still hope to win a medal, but he will instantly fall into the fifth place.

In the audience, watching this semi-final, the bald faces were full of excitement.

He found that he had made the right bet.

That's right, the previous advertising bidding auction held in Zhang Yue.

He paid the highest price of 1.8 million for the advertising rights of the teaching assistant industry at the Universiade.

And this price, in addition to advertising and Bolt's personal influence, does not include Bolt reaching the finals and winning medals in this competition.

Because the bald man’s perspective is the same as everyone else’s.

Even if Bolt comes to compete, he is just going through the motions and will most likely be eliminated in the first round.

Unexpectedly, the other party's performance completely exceeded expectations.

It can be said that although everyone thinks Bolt is just going through the motions.

But everyone knows that if Bolt can reach the final and win a medal, the impact will definitely be much greater than the impact of his first round trip.

Because if he only travels in one round, tomorrow's news will only mention one sentence: Bolt participated in this Universiade.

Soon, everyone will forget about it.

After all, this world is about the winner taking all.

Even if Bolt has no results, no one will buy it.

But if he can really get good results, it becomes another concept.

Because in this way, those self-media and journalists will have eye-catching material.

Then there is analysis from different angles. For example, the former superstar's sword is still young, and the reason why Bolt retired is not because he can't run, but because he really can't find an opponent, etc.

The more popular Bolt is, the higher the advertising value of his teaching assistant industry will be.

Next to them, Zhou Zhiming and Lao Du had regrets on their faces.

Because they gave up the bidding before, they also took into account the factor of Bolt's paddling.

But now...

Zhou Zhiming looked at the bald head and said in a sour tone, as if he had eaten a pound of lemons: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky!"

He said this completely from the heart.

Because half of the bald Wan Wei's ability to reach this point is due to luck.

Before Wanwei was founded, the most famous company in the teaching aid industry was Wusan, followed by Tianxing, and then Quanjie.

Wan Wei is not even a third-rate person.

But the opponent directly entered the first echelon with just one name.

That's right, the name is "Must-Crush Questions"!

The grinding in the must-clear questions has a clever linkage with the most common dungeon grinding when students play games.

This makes everyone remember the name as soon as they hear it.

As we all know, the key to the success of a product is whether it can be remembered by consumers.

This is also the purpose of many companies advertising on CCTV even if they spend hundreds of millions.

For example, Melatonin, and Nongfu Spring.

Kebi Qianqian did this just by relying on his own name. I can only say that the bald man had such bad luck.

Of course, the compulsory questions are now on par with Tianxing and Wusan because of the quality of the teaching aids.

If the quality of the required questions is not good, even if it has a name that is ten times better than what it is now, students will not be able to buy it.

But anyone who is engaged in the teaching aid industry knows that it is not difficult to make a first-class teaching aid material.

All you need to do is find excellent teachers, excellent editors, and rigorous review and proofreading.

The really difficult thing is how to make students remember your product.

Hearing Zhou Zhiming's words, the bald man smiled: "Old Zhou, my luck has always been better. You don't know about this just now, right?"

Zhou Zhiming didn't expect that this guy would be so obedient after getting an advantage, and his face darkened.

As a result, the bald head suddenly looked serious: "I know you regret it now, so I will make a bet with you.

If you win, I will give you the advertising rights of the teaching assistant industry in the Universiade for free. How about it? "

Zhou Zhiming was stunned: "Really?"

"Nonsense, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Then how do you want to bet?"

"It's very simple. I bet that Bolt can win the gold medal this time. If he is not first, the advertising rights for this sports meeting will belong to you."

"What if he is number one?"

"You lost a million to me."

"This..." (End of Chapter)
