Run Out of My Life - Chapter 374

    The entrance to the Arkansas State Penitentiary.

    A middle-aged black man with an old-fashioned face was carrying a rucksack, looked back at the gate of the prison again, and slowly walked out towards the road outside.

    It’s cool.

    Arkansas prisons are notorious, and there are almost no people in the two or three kilometers near the prison. After a documentary titled “Eight Elements: Dirty Blood from Arkansas Prisons” was exposed last year, It also reduced the number of buses willing to pass here to one trip a day.

    The middle-aged black man did not wait at the bus stop on the road in front of the door. Instead, he carried a backpack and swayed slowly towards the road ahead.

    Have been trapped within the high wall for a long time, and suddenly the shackles of the cage are no longer there. Even if he is just walking on the road at this moment, but looking at the open and desolate scene makes him feel a kind of invigoration .

    Only, in this layer of fun, there is a little bit of loss.

    “The sun shines on my shoulders, like a free man.”

    Lance Brauman looked up at the vast sky and whispered a line he had seen in a movie.

    Compared to most black people, he is the type of person with high education and clear mind.

    I was an athlete when I was young, and later obtained a track and field coach’s qualification certificate. I have coaching experience at Barton College, University of Arkansas and Fayetteville University.

    Although the economy is not much wealthy, it has actually reached the level of the average middle class in the United States.

    As a fairly good track and field coach, the reason for his imprisonment is actually very simple.

    At that time, many of the athletes he coached were young black people from the bottom of society, living in various neighborhoods with complex security. If they did not operate illegally, they helped these people to obtain credit and Scholarships, I am afraid, many talented seedlings can’t wait for the day when they start their careers, they have degenerated into street gangsters, and continue to repeat the cycle of no future in the quagmire.

    Unfortunately, life is not a movie.

    He will not be acquitted by the court just because he has good intentions.

    What’s more…Lance Brauman sighed, when he defrauded a lot of extra credits and scholarships from various universities for his athletes through various means, he is not a saint. .

    So facing the original ten-month sentence and even an additional year, he has nothing to complain about.

    Just looking at the empty road at the moment, I feel a little sad. Two years was probably enough for the athletes he once coached to forget about them.

    Bah!

    Lance Brauman was walking along the street when he was in a trance when suddenly a car horn blared behind him.

    A Chevrolet SUV slowly stopped beside him.

    “No ride, thanks!”

    Lance Brauman waved his hand and ignored the car beside him.

    He has no idea of ​​taking a ride. Now he just wants to take a breath, take a good walk along the road, and think about the next life direction after he is released from prison.

    “The nearest town is four miles, may I suggest you think again?”

    The passenger glass of the Chevrolet SUV slowly lowered, and a slightly hoarse voice came out of the car.

    Lance Brauman froze instantly, turned his head suddenly and looked out of the car, through the glass lowered by the passenger, he saw a man with a body like a cheetah.

    “Tyson?!”

    Blauman screamed almost at once, and without thinking much, he opened the passenger door and got into the car.

    Tyson Gay looked at the middle-aged black man who opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot, a bright smile appeared on his always serious and silent face, “Long time no see, Coach Brightman.”

    “Long time no see, Tyson!”

    Blauman was a little excited. Although he also provided Tyson Gay with many training plans and arrangements in prison, it was in 2005 and 2006. At that time, Tyson Gay has only just begun to show his prominence in the world track, and now, Tyson Gay is already the number one sprinter in the United States, no matter from which point of view, he does not think that Tyson Gay will still be willing to come Find him the former coach.

    Yes, Tyson Gay has a new coach Jon Drummond, he already knew about it when he was in prison watching sports news. Jon Drummond, the first runner of the 2000 Sydney Olympics relay team, is known for his quick start reflexes. This is a weakness that Tyson Gay needs to make up for. Although Tyson Gay is only 1.80 meters tall, his ability in the middle and second half is excellent. Brauman once wanted him to specialize in the 200 meters and 400 meters. And players like Michael Johnson.

    After all, Brauman thought Gay would be more competitive in the 200m and 400m than in the men’s 100m sprint.

    However, after he was imprisoned, Tyson Gay turned to the men’s 100 meters and achieved great success, which can be said to be far more than he expected at the beginning.

    “Lance, I hope you’ll be back!”

    The Chevrolet SUV started again, Tyson Gay looked at the road ahead, and suddenly said: “This year is the Olympic Games, the challenges and opponents I face are too strong, Milliros Indoor Race Plus Tring broke the 60m personal best record, Powell won the men’s 60m championship at the indoor world championships, and Su, Bolt, Spearmont, they are all my opponents, Lance, I need you to come back, re- train me.”

    Lance Brauman was slightly silent. Although the prison in Akses is notorious, many times the inmates in the prison are still able to learn a lot of information from the outside world, especially some sports games and news .

    Justin Gatling, the last generation of the American sprint leader before the rise of Tyson Gay, and the successor to the Olympics beating Maurice Green for the crown.

    As for Guy, many people see his rise as a chance because of Gatlin’s suspension. Until the 2007 Osaka World Championships, the media title was still “Tyson Guy Get out of the shadow of Gatling and lose.”

    As for Powell and Su Zu, it goes without saying that as a track and field coach, in the limited information he has been exposed to, he has never missed the information of the two.

    “Tyson, you already have a coach. Jon Drummond did a great job, I watched your video of the game last year, and your running skills have improved so much. Much to his credit.”

    After a long silence, Lance Brauman spoke slowly.

     Crunch!

    A harsh brake sound.

    Tyson Gay stopped the car on the side of the road, turned his head and looked at Lance Brauman, who has been in prison for more than a year, a little puffy and a little old, his tone Sincere and serious: “Lance, my coach, I really need your help. Jon is a very good coach, I didn’t think about firing him. But I also need your help.”

      . All the achievements I have achieved now are based on the foundation you have laid for me. You and Jon and I both need, before the Olympics, I need the most complete preparation training plan, to ensure physical condition, or not Disturbed by injuries.”

    In the car, the two were silent for a while.

    Lance Brauman leaned back in his seat, looking through the window into the distance.

    Involuntarily, the scene of the two meeting for the first time appeared in my mind. It was in 2000. Tyson Gay was still a high school student at Lafayette High School, and Lan S. Blauman had been persuading Guy to go to his Barton College and become an athlete under him after accidentally watching one of his high school games. After that, he was hired by the University of Arkansas as a track coach, and Tyson Gay followed him all the way, following him into the University of Arkansas.

    The two have worked together for five years and are arguably the most familiar with each other.

    “Okay, Tyson, I promise.”

    Lance Brauman let out a long sigh, “You are the best and most accomplished athlete I have ever brought. Step forward and become an Olympic champion and have a world record. You have this talent, you have this quality, and what I’m trying to do is teach you how to use them properly.”

    “Thank you, thank you, coach! Welcome back!”

    Tyson Gay tapped the steering wheel lightly, and the horns and laughter sounded freely at the same time.

    The car started again, Tyson Gay looked at the winding road ahead, and couldn’t help remembering what he saw in the media before Su Zu’s speech on winning the Lawrence Athlete of the Year.

    “Su, you are waiting for us in the bird’s nest, and I will definitely go!”
