Chapter 721 [Marathon champion, angry brush presence]
At twenty kilometers, there were more than twenty people in the first echelon, and in addition to Wang Jun, there was also a Chinese player.
Perhaps because Wang Jun participated in the competition, there were a lot of contestants running ahead this time.
First of all, being around Wang Jun is more likely to be photographed by camera lenses. Long-distance runners also want to become famous. The attention of this event is incomparable to sprinting, and the exposure rate is too low. On the Chinese Internet, if you ask who is the "most famous long-distance runner in China", most people will say "I don't know".
In addition, none of these people can tolerate an outsider running ahead and want to prove that his efforts are not in vain.
Competing with Wang Jun is definitely not a good idea, because today he is going to "cheat".
His goal is to surprise people and let people know that he is still a star after leaving the basketball court. In order to achieve his amazing goal, he did not intend to compete fairly.
Twenty-five kilometers, Wang Jun used a bottle of physical Coke, recovered 30% of his physical strength, and instantly became energetic.
He did not accelerate and ran to the front. For the first time he participated in the competition, he did not have a clear understanding of his strength, and it was easier to control the rhythm with others.
At 35 kilometers, Wang Jun remained fifth, with three blacks and one white.
The reporter and the TV station commentator were already shocked.
"Wang Jun is really going to compete for the championship, he is still at the forefront, and he seems to be able to do it."
"He is still there, and there is no sign of any struggle and barely supporting expression on his face. He is the most popular player today."
"Along the way, many people handed over water to Wang Jun. After passing by Beverly Hills, Abby Hornasek and Wang Leying cheered him on. His sister looked good."
"It's rare that marathons can run so fast, so male athletes have an average height of only 173m in this sport."
"What's going on? Wang Jun began to speed up... He strides away from others! My God!"
After running for a while, someone would raise a sign in front to tell how much distance is left. When he saw the 35-kilometer sign, Wang Jun decided not to follow others anymore. He could do it for about 7 kilometers.
Moreover, Wang Jun called out the system and used the second bottle of physical Coke.
Endurance 81.4 is the strongest one in his quality, the top level of NBA. As long as he trains, this one is always growing. With two bottles of Coke, his physical fitness is equal to one hundred more than the endurance.
At this time, he returned to nearly 50%. How could others compare with him? He ran a marathon like running three thousand meters, which made everyone stunned.
Several people think that only Ethiopian long-distance running star Gebresi Lasier, the current world record holder, can get rid of them at this time and dare to run like this.
That is one of the athletes who won the gold medal and broke the world record the most, the track racer who raised the national flag and played the national anthem the most, and is a household name in Ethiopia.
What about Wang Jun? Although he is also a household name and is more famous than all track and field athletes... but he plays basketball!
Gebresilasier is 164m tall, and Wang Junnba reported that he is 196m tall. With the same long-distance running distance, he has to consume more energy.
But things happened like this. Wang Jun rushed through the finish line at a constant speed, without even a figure behind him, with a score of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 37 seconds. The second male player from Kenya, Kree, ran for 2 hours, 12 minutes and 18 seconds.
The gap of more than two minutes means that Wang Jun and the second place are about a thousand meters away.
He received a prize of $23,000, and for him, the NBA is not the only price.
Several reporters came forward to interview Wang Jun and asked him to talk about his thoughts.
Wang Jun said plainly: "This result is similar to what I imagined. Even if I leave the basketball court, I am also a very powerful athlete. In terms of physical fitness, I think I am no worse than anyone else."
The reporter asked: "How did you practice?"
"Try to find your own limits and then break through them. The simple saying is to work hard and persevere."
A reporter really wants to ask directly: Did you use stimulants? If you don’t use stimulants, are you going to go against the will of heaven?
It is unnecessary to ask about this. As the first place, it cannot escape the doping test. As long as the stimulant is used, the truth will be revealed tomorrow. The possibility of athletes of Wang Jun using stimulant for a prize of 23,000 US dollars is slim.
He was different from those long-distance runners who were striving for results, just playing tickets. After five minutes of rest, he was generously inspected at Santa Monica Pier.
In addition to the competition, the organizing committee also invited bands, cheerleaders, and other activities, which made the entire competition process full of vitality.
The finish line beach party is held on the beach. Audiences, contestants, family and friends gather to celebrate the contestants’ completion of the competition. The party will be carefully prepared for live music, food, drinks and other interactive exhibitions.
The women's group also decided the winner. The female player from Ukraine, Lehonkva, won the championship in the female elite group, which took 2 hours, 30 minutes and 42 seconds.
It took nearly five hours before Chris Evans reached the finish line, and the Hollywood star who ran across the line with him was also an Hollywood star, Ed War Norton.
Chris was gasping very hard, and after a while, he had to talk to Wang Jun. "I shouldn't have been so bad, it was because I ran with you for a while... You really got the first place?"
"Yes." Wang Jun nodded with a smile.
He felt very happy. The marathon was a brand new experience. While showing his presence, he could also put pressure on the top leaders of the NBA league.
If you don’t play NBA, he is still a star. Can NBA be without him? Wait for you to accept the anger of the fans.
Through this competition, Wang Jun tried out the bottom line after using two bottles of physical strength Coke, and he still had the strength to cross the line. He could be faster. If he was exhausted when crossing the line, he might hit the world record.
The physical strength evaluated by the system is 100, and it must be a superhuman existence in this world. Wang Jun is currently facing a bottleneck in his endurance training and is slowly improving. He can reach this level with props.
Wang Jun did not plan to participate in the marathon again. This event could not bring out his advantages. His disadvantages were obvious, and he was too tall.
If you are tall and have big steps, you have an advantage in participating in sprints or hurdles, it has nothing to do with your physical strength.
If he insists on participating in this competition and breaking a record or something, he suspects that he will be arrested by scientists and sliced, which obviously does not conform to the laws of physics.
He wanted to choose a sport that could attract attention, have high exposure, and can also play the advantages of a big man. Even if the record is broken, no one would find it strange.
There is no need to consider technical sports. He has no time to study it, and the only suitable ones are probably the triathlons.
Triathlon is long-distance swimming, cycling and running. The first two small people are not good at playing, and Wang Jun has obvious advantages.
He persisted in underwater training for a long time, and the water quality is very good. There is nothing Chinese people who can't do with cycling.
It is not convenient for Theron and Wang Leying to attend public parties. One is too famous and the other is not suitable for a very lively environment.
When I was looking for Wang Jun to take a photo, there were too many people asking for autographs. After being interviewed by the media, he interacted with many Chinese tourists who came to travel, and his hands signed quickly became sore.
For him, social engagements are more tiring than running.
After leaving a phone call with Chris Evans, Wang Jun left the beach early and took a bus home.
