Chapter 168 Hurdle is a door boy skill(1/2)

Chen Qiang walked out of the crowd, and everyone's eyes immediately froze on Chen Qiang.

"Who is this young man?"

"It looks like a man in the martial arts world, it looks like he is not a man in the martial arts world!"

Although Chen Qiang's name is often in newspapers, the information dissemination in this era is not developed enough, and most people have never seen Chen Qiang.

Many martial arts people were also a little puzzled. This person came out of the crowd and was obviously not a martial arts person. There are really people who like to meddle in other people’s business these days!

Gu Tianzhi and Zhou Congyi knew Chen Qiang. Although they last met Chen Qiang three years ago, when Chen Qiang appeared, the two of them recognized Chen Qiang at a glance.

"It's Chen Qiang!" the two of them exclaimed involuntarily.

"Do you know him?" a martial arts senior next to him asked.

Gu Tianzhi immediately replied: "Master Yuan, he is Chen Qiang!"

"Which Chen Qiang?" Master Yuan was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted: "It's Chen Qiang who runs faster than a foreigner?"

"Yes, it's him." Gu Tianzhi nodded and said yes.

"Master Yuan, Chen Qiang suddenly appeared. What should we do?" someone asked.

"Master Liu, Chen Qiang wants to fight against foreigners. What do you think we should do?"

"Or let's wait and see what's going on?"

"Okay, then wait and see!"

The martial arts people did not respond to Chen Qiang's appearance, and on the other hand, Adams also learned about Chen Qiang's identity.

"Is he the world's number one athlete?" Adams looked at Chen Qiang, and a hint of fear appeared in his heart.

Chen Qiang's name has spread all over the world with the Olympics. Adams is an athlete again, so of course he has heard of Chen Qiang.

Faced with a group of martial arts people who don’t understand sports, Adams is naturally not afraid, but facing the “world’s number one athlete”, Adams is still very cowardly in his heart.

Adams used to be a track and field athlete in school. He knew very well about track and field. It is also for this reason that Adams knew how terrifying the world records set by Chen Qiang were.

After learning about Chen Qiang's identity, Adams looked a little embarrassed. He obviously didn't want to compete with Chen Qiang.

Facing Chen Qiang, Adams' attitude softened a lot, and he said, "Mr. Chen, I am honored to compete with you on the field, but today I challenged martial arts people from Tianjin, not athletes from Tianjin! We have never agreed before, so we can invite foreign players!"

Adams said, looking at a martial arts man, and his expression seemed to be saying again: "You martial arts have invited the world's number one athlete, you are cheating!"

Among the martial arts people, some people felt that they could not bear to worry about their face and dared not look at Adams's gaze and looked elsewhere.

On the contrary, Chen Qiang took a step forward and said, "Although I am an athlete, I am also a member of the Tianjin Martial Arts Industry. As early as more than three years ago, I had joined the Chinese Martial Arts Association in Tianjin and was under the disciple of Zhang Zhankui, the master of Xingyi Bagua!"

After Chen Qiang said this, the martial arts people present also remembered it.

"Yes, why did I forget this? Chen Qiang is a disciple of Mr. Zhang!"

"When Chen Qiang won the Olympic championship, Mr. Zhang also held a big banquet to celebrate."

"So, Chen Qiang is also a member of our Tianjin Martial Arts Industry. It is not an exaggeration to represent our Tianjin Martial Arts people."

Adams' expression seemed solemn. Although he didn't know whether what Chen Qiang said was true or false, if you think about it carefully, there was no need for Chen Qiang to deceive him in this kind of thing.

"Chen Qiang broke the world record in five events at the Olympics, but they were all sprinting and long jumping. I have never heard of Chen Qiang participating in the 110-meter hurdles. Perhaps Chen Qiang is not good at 110-meter hurdles. Even if the competition is really held, I have a chance to beat him!" Adams comforted himself.

Adams knew that Chen Qiang was definitely much stronger in sports than himself, so Adams could only bear a trace of luck and thought that Chen Qiang would not run 110-meter hurdles.

...

The reason why Chen Qiang came out to challenge Adams was not only the stimulation of the words "Sick Man in East Asia", but also had confidence in his own strength.

On the boat back to China, the training space unlocked the legendary athlete. Chen Qiang hired "Liu Xiang" to try out what the passer is. Therefore, Chen Qiang practiced the hurdle again, which was also a review.

When Adams competed with Tianjin martial arts people just now, Chen Qiang also had a prediction about Adams' strength. It took about 18 seconds for Adams to take a 110-meter hurdle, which is barely considered the result of a professional athlete, but such a result was not taken seriously by Chen Qiang.

...

The two stood on the starting line, Chen Qiang did a little warm-up exercise, indicating that he could start.

"Two people are ready!" the commander said.

Chen Qiang bent down and made a squat-starting position.

Adams was a little surprised: "Does the 110-meter hurdle also need to start in a squat style?"

In Adams' impression, there is no need to use a squat starting for running 110 meters hurdles. Even if it is a squat starting, it will not have much effect on improving grades.

"Start!" The commander ordered the two of them to start at the same time.

Since Chen Qiang used a squat-type starting line, his starting speed must be much faster than Adams, and he also arrived in front of the first railing earlier.

"I am worthy of being the world record holder of the 100-meter sprint, and my speed is really fast!" Adams said in his heart.

Adams only noticed that Chen Qiang was fast enough, but did not notice that Chen Qiang ran from the starting point to the front of the railing, and just took eight steps.

Eight steps to go up the column have not been summarized into a technique in this era. Even if Chen Qiang uses it, the hurdler athletes will not pay attention. They probably only think that Chen Qiang performed very smoothly when he went up the first column.

This is true. Adams's ten steps on the bar are much slower than Chen Qiang's eight steps on the bar, so Chen Qiang's move on the first bar is also taken into consideration by Adams.

"What a smooth movement on the railing, it was done in one go!" Adams couldn't help but exclaim.

The audience around him who were watching the fun also exclaimed.

"good!"

“Good jump!”

Three masters of light skills challenged Adams before, but none of them had gained a lead. Chen Qiang led Adams in front of the first bar. These Tianjin elders who watched the fun couldn't help but shout for Chen Qiang.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qiang completed the second and third columns very smoothly. Then, starting from the fourth column, Chen Qiang's rhythm did not appear to be chaotic.

At this time, the trace of luck in Adams's heart had disappeared without a trace. He had realized that Chen Qiang not only knew hurdle skills, but also was a hurdle expert.

In the last three bars, Chen Qiang's speed became faster and faster. When he successfully crossed the tenth bar, he accelerated rapidly and rushed towards the finish line.

Adams' speed slowed down, and the gap in strength was too big, so he wisely chose to give up resisting.

...

Chen Qiang won this game, and Tianjin's martial arts soldier saved his face, and these martial arts people dared not drive Adams out of Tianjin like they did with Southern National War. After all, Adams is a foreigner and has the support of the British behind him. He had to open a boxing gym in Tianjin, and martial arts people had no choice but to do anything to him.

After this competition, Adams made some reputation. Although he lost to Chen Qiang, he defeated three masters of light skills, one of which was "Scud" Wu Guang. Such a record made many people feel that Adams, a foreigner, has some real skills.

Chen Qiang didn't stay for a long time. Although he claimed to be a martial arts figure during the competition, he actually had a name under Zhang Zhankui's disciple and was not familiar with these martial arts figures in Tianjin. So after the competition, he found an opportunity to leave and returned to Nankai.

In the evening, Chen Qiang went to Zhang Boling's house for a meal and then returned to his residence. When he recalled today's 110-meter hurdles, he felt even more unsatisfied.

"The 110-meter hurdle is the most technical requirement among all short-distance racing sports. The 110-meter hurdle in this era is still in the cross-blocking skill stage. Should I participate in the 110-meter hurdle competition?" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

Speaking of the 110-meter hurdles of that era, we have to mention one person, that is, the American Alvin Krenzrein.

Alvin Krenz Rein is good at sprinting, long jumping and hurdling. At the Paris Olympics, he won four gold medals: 60-meter sprinting, 110-meter hurdles, 200-meter hurdles and long jumping. However, since the 60-meter sprinting and 200-meter hurdles have been cancelled in the modern Olympics, in the future Olympic gold medal statistics, Alvin Krenz Rein is often only counted two gold medals.

Alvin Krenzrein once broke the world record of 110-meter hurdles and 200-meter hurdles, mainly because he invented the straight-leg hurdle technology, which is a revolutionary technology in hurdles. This technology allows athletes to not affect their speed when attacking the hurdles. Modern athletes are also using this technology.

It is also because Alvin Krenzrein invented the straight-leg hurdling technology that gave athletes of that era the awareness of "attacking the bars", allowing the hurdling movement to advance from the original stage to the cross-blocking skill stage.

In the 1930s, hurdle athletes paid great attention to crossing the bar technique. They believed that having excellent crossing was the key to winning. That's why Adams adjusted his pace in front of the first crossing, with the purpose of smoothly passing the bar.

In order to practice the hull technique, athletes at that time also did a lot of extreme things, such as Thompson, a Canadian player who once broke the world record of 110 meters of hurdles. He practiced blindfolding. It is said that his hull technique can rub the pencils placed on the surface of the railing with his heels without touching the hull. This skill is so exquisite that it can be comparable to acrobatics.

However, it is precisely because of this concept that hurdle athletes do not pay enough attention to the coherence combination of the lower bar movement and the first step between the bar, which greatly affects their performance.

The hurdle technology that Chen Qiang mastered is of course not the technology at the cross-blocking technique stage, but the most advanced technology in later generations.

The future 110-meter hurdle will go from the crossing skill stage to the speed stage, then enter the rhythm stage, and then gradually mature. By the 21st century, the details have been reached to the extreme.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of professionals, the future 110-meter hurdles and the future 110-meter hurdles in the 1930s are simply two kinds of sports.

Back to the point, Chen Qiang lay on the bed and thought silently in his mind.

"I have to participate in the sports meet now, and I have to have at least five events. If there is a relay race, I have to add two more events. I am really unbearable in terms of physical strength. Fortunately, running 400 meters is really too physically exhausting. It is better to replace 400 meters with 110 meters hurdles, which can save a lot of physical energy."

"My advantage is advanced sports technology and sports concepts that transcend the times, so I should also give full play to this advantage and engage in more technical sports, such as 110-meter hurdles. And those sports that simply compete in the body will do less in the future."

At this time, Chen Qiang had made up his mind to practice the 110-meter hurdle next. When the time was right, he gave up the 400-meter pit, which consumed physical energy, and replaced the 400-meter hurdle with 110-meter hurdle.

...

During the day, Chen Qiang appeared in the long-lost Nankai University, which immediately attracted the attention of countless Nankai students.

After a morning, the enthusiasm of the students in Nankai was subsided, and Chen Qiang could also study and train with peace of mind.

After the afternoon class, Chen Qiang came to the playground and began daily training.

Chen Qiang's training lasted for only half an hour before he was interrupted by a stranger.

The person who came was in his forties, with strong muscles and a scar on his face. He shaved his head and looked like a trainee.

The man came directly to Chen Qiang and clasped his fists with both hands, which scared Chen Qiang. He thought he was here to challenge again.

Three years ago, Chen Qiang encountered such a thing. Because he outperformed several martial arts people at the temple fair, the challengers all ran to the school.

Just when Chen Qiang was nervous, the man pounced and knelt down on one knee.

"Master Chen, my name is Cai Hu, please accept me as your disciple!" said the scarred face.

"What? Accepting disciples?" Chen Qiang was stunned on the spot.
