Almighty Athlete Chapter 381: True strength
The 500m men’s short track speed skating is one of the most contestants in short track speed skating. It can be regarded as the "100m sprint" in short track speed skating, but this item is not the strength of the national team. . In this level of competition, a game will only accommodate four players, so the competition for the finals becomes more intense.
In the first group match, Zhang Guan debuted in the fifth group. There were no strong players in the same group, and Zhang Guan successfully advanced. The veteran Ma Yunfeng appeared in the sixth sixth (Love ài) group. Italy's Confortla and Canadian player Trepre were also in the same group. As a result, Ma Yunfeng unfortunately failed to advance to the next round. Han Jialiang, who played in the eighth group, has only one player in the same group (Japanese rì). This player is still somewhat strong. As a result, he successfully advanced to the first group.
The 500-meter final will be held on February 27 (Sun rì), and that day is also the last day of short-track speed skating (Sun rì).
"The 500m is a strong man! I heard that world record holder Sheng Xibei has abandoned the relay race in order to win gold in this event. However, the Korean team’s plan cannot keep up with the changes, and Li Zhengzhu was banned (jìn). Sheng Xibei still had to participate in the relay race." Coach Li Bing continued: "In addition, the strength of Canadian player Hamelin should not be underestimated! In terms of strength, he can definitely challenge Sheng Xibei."
"Hamelin, he played against him in the previous 1000m finals, but he didn't think he was great." Zhang Guan said.
"Hamelin's strength in the short distance is much stronger than that in the long distance. You remember that when he raced in the 1000m, Hamelin even led the skate once. His speed is not inferior to the Koreans, but 1000 Mi wants to slide 9 laps, and his physical strength in the second half may not be able to support it. But 500 meters only need to slide 4 and a half laps, which can play the strengths of Hamelin." Coach Li Bing continued: "So you are in the game To be faster, I even feel that in the final, achievements within 41 seconds may not be able to win the championship."
"Isn't the 500-meter world record 41 seconds 051? Is it impossible to win a championship with a world record?" Zhang Guan asked with some surprise.
"Yeah, the newspapers we have (Qinng), Sheng Xibei and Hamelin, both have the ability to slide within 41 seconds. There is even news that they have already achieved results within 41 seconds. Coach Li Bing continued.
"Really? That's great. It seems that the 500-meter finals don't need to retain their strength!" Zhang Guan said excitedly.
"Retain strength?" Coach Li Bing's eyes widened in surprise. If a record breaking world record is to retain strength, Li Bing doesn't believe 10,000.
But what he said from the mouth of Zhang Guan showed a strong sense of self-confidence and persuasion, and it also gave coach Li Bing a feeling in his heart. Zhang Guan really kept it in the previous game strength.
......
February 28 (Sun rì), the last race of short track speed skating (Sun rì). On this day, three gold medals for short track speed skating will be decided in the Pacific Stadium. They are 1000 meters for women and 500 meters for men. And men's 5000m relay race.
In this Winter Olympics, the short track speed skating women’s team has won three gold medals, including a gold medal in the relay race. If they can win another women’s gold medal in the 1000m, they will have to cover the book. All the gold medals of women's short track speed skating in the Winter Olympics.
But the most watched competition is undoubtedly the men’s 500m final. After all, it is racing. The shorter the distance, the faster the speed, the more intense the competition of the athletes, and the more exciting the game progress, watching ( Sex xìng) the stronger.
The first to start is the men’s 500m quarterfinals. Judging from the grouping situation, the group that Zhang Guan is divided into is pretty good. In the same group are German student Tyson and British player Avery. The strength of the two can only be regarded as middle-up, not ranking top in the world. And Zhang Guan and relatively smooth promotion.
The grouping form of another member of the national team, Han Jialiang, is very serious. In the same group, there are Canadian Oliver and South Korean Li Haoxi. Li Haoxi's strength is definitely the first in the group, while Oliver is very good at short distance, so Han Jialiang only ranked third in the group, missed the semifinals.
The death group is the first group. Canadian Hamelin and South Korean player Sheng Xibei, two of the world’s top players, met in advance.
"World record! Hamelin! 40 seconds 988, Hamelin entered the 41-second mark! Hamelin broke Sheng Xibei’s men’s 500-meter short track speed skating world record! And he set it in a contest with Sheng Xibei This result!" the narrator shouted loudly, and the scene was completely boiling.
After all, this is Hamelin’s home court. Although this is only the quarter-finals, the host players broke the world record, enough to make the audience fall into a few minutes of cheers.
In the quarter-finals, Hamelin successfully broke the world record for men’s 500-meter short track speed skating, qualifying as the team’s first. Of course, Sheng Xibei also won the qualifying, but at the moment he is unhappy, the second place in the group is still second, the key is that the world record he holds is broken, and he is still broken in his own face, which seems to Sheng Xibei It is undoubtedly a provocation.
The three South Korean players all successfully reached the semifinals, in addition to Zhang Guan, Canada’s Hamelin and Oliver, the British player Avery, and the American player Apollo entered the semifinals.
There are two semifinals in total. The first two of the group advance to the finals of group a to compete for medals, and the last two enter the final of group b to compete for place.
In the semi-finals, Zhang Guan encountered Hamelin. The other two in the same group were South Korean players Li Haoxi and Guo Runqi. The other four were divided into another group.
At the semi-final stage, the competition is already fierce. For example, in this group of Zhang Guan, all three opponents are strong, but the two Korean players have become weaker. Hamelin, who has just broken the world record, is probably to maintain physical strength, so he did not work hard, and eventually joined hands with Zhang Guan to advance to the Group A final.
After that, Sheng Xibei also appeared, and the three people in his group are European and American players.
"950 seconds in 40 seconds! Sheng Xibei! He successfully regained the world record! I didn’t expect that Hamelin’s world record was only maintained for half an hour, and it was refreshed by Sheng Xibei here. It looks like the next final will be A needle-to-head matchup against Maimang!"
Sheng Xibei who appeared in the second group showed absolute strength. He used a new world record to successfully fight back Hamelin's provocation. This result seems to be telling Hamelin that he is still the strongest in the world!
The audience on the scene also gave Sheng Xibe the applause of (热rè)(情qíng). Although they very much hope that the domestic player Hamelin will win, they also hope to see a wonderful game. Refreshing the world record this time is clearly worth the fare today. Next, the two men will have to compete in the finals. This is definitely the most exciting and exciting matchup for the Winter Olympics.
Another qualifying spot was taken by American Apollo. Apollo has the nickname "Prince of America", and he is also the defending champion of the men's 500m short track speed skating. That is to say, at the Torino Winter Olympics four years ago, he once defeated South Korean players. To the gold medal of this project. And four years later, Apollo certainly hopes that he can successfully defend his title.
"It’s so good! If you don’t try your best, maybe you will lose!" Zhang Guan took a deep breath and felt a sense of tension in his heart, and this kind of tension is a pleasure Is more exciting.
Zhang Guan vaguely remembered that the last time he brought this feeling to him was Bolt. In the face of Bolt, who has the strength to break the world record, the kind of victory in Zhang Guan's heart is even more intense. Today, there are two people in front of him, both of which have the strength to break the world record, which makes Zhang Guan feel hot.
"Finally, I think this game is interesting!" Zhang Guan's eyes revealed a look of excitement.
......
"The game started! Hamelin grabbed the top spot!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the audience cheered Hamelin who was fighting at home.
Hamelin was really good at starting. In the previous 1000-meter final, he also grabbed the first place. Today’s 500-meter final, he also succeeded in grabbing the first in the first corner. s position.
But compared to 1000 meters, the 500-meter headline is obviously more meaningful and the advantage is relatively larger. It takes 9 laps at 1000 meters. Hamelin's physical strength is not enough to lead to the finish line, but with only half the distance of 500 meters, Hamelin is absolutely capable of keeping the first place to cross the finish line.
Sheng Xibei successfully grabbed the second position. After Zhang Guan followed Sheng Xibei (shēn), Apollo, the American prince, was reduced to fourth place.
Although there is a position between each other, in fact, this kind of order is nothing in the game at all. It is impossible for a 500-meter game to open a great distance. In a duel of the same level, as long as No mistakes occurred. Even before the finish line, the gap between the first and fourth place will not exceed 03 seconds, which is very similar to the 100-meter sprint.
And just like the 100-meter sprint, in the 500-meter short track speed skating, every 001 second improvement of the world’s top athletes is extremely difficult. In 03 seconds, it was an insurmountable gap before the end.
The first lap of the game is about to end, and the speed of the athletes has been improved. Sheng Xibe, who is in second place, obviously does not want to lag behind Hamelin. He (body shēn) turned to the outside, ready to surpass Hamelin.
Hamelin has been paying attention to Sheng Xibe's movements. He finds that Sheng Xibe wants to surpass, and also moves (he shēn) the body for the first time, making defensive moves. However, what Hamelin did not expect was that this was just Sheng Xibei's fake action. At the next moment, Sheng Xibei suddenly turned to the inside and then surpassed Hamelin.
"Abominable Asians, (身shēn) are so thin, they can go through the neutral gear at this point!" Hamelin couldn't help vomiting.
Accordingly, the inner space left by Hamelin is not large. If it is a European and American person with a tall body, he may not be able to pass it. But Sheng Xibei's (body shēn) material is obviously more slender than Europeans, (body shēn) is close to 1.8 meters tall, Sheng Xibei weighs only 60 kilograms, which seems to be common among ordinary Asian men (sex xng) It is very thin, and the muscle density of the athlete is higher, so it is even thinner. Therefore, in the same space, European and American athletes can't get through, but Korean athletes can pass by.
Sheng Xibei succeeded in gaining a leading position, and he also knows that he wants to (( **** cāo)cāo) to stay ahead, but it is not enough to rely on defense, but also needs faster speed. The latter Hamelin is also waiting for the opportunity to regain his place.
The competition entered the second lap of the competition. If it is in other levels of competition, it should enter a short period of stalemate, but in the 500m competition, the competition has become more intense.
Hamelin wants to surpass Sheng Xibei, and at the same time, Zhang Guan is also ready to surpass the previous two.
"It's Zhang Guan!" Sheng Xibei and Hamelin were alert at the same time.
Apollo in fourth place is also unwilling to be lonely, but the short track speed skating circuit is not wide enough to accommodate Apollo, so on the second lap, he just tried it and then retreated Go back.
At the same time, Zhang Guan has kept pace with Hamelin.
"Zhang Guan is really fast!" Hamelin felt heavy pressure. At this time, he already felt that in terms of the fastest speed, Zhang Guan is indeed better than himself.
"If you want to hold Zhang Guan, you must use the curve ahead!" Hamelin decided to stay on the line and stick to the curve.
The two entered the corner at the same time, but the difference is that Hamelin is on the inside and Zhang Guan is on the outside, which means that Zhang Guan will take a longer distance. But the two are still keeping pace.
The speed of Zhang Guan is faster than Hamelin. Even if you walk outside in a curve, you can still stay parallel to Hamelin.
Hamelin insisted to the end of the curve. After entering the straight again, he still did not hold his position and was overtaken by Zhang Guan.
"I didn't hold it, it was totally overtaken by speed, without any tricks, and it was not the same as Sheng Xibe's kind of drilling holes. Is this a gap in strength?" Hamelin thought to himself.
The game has come to the third lap and Zhang Guan has come to the second position. However, because Hamelin kept the inner line tightly and closely followed Sheng Xibei (身shēn), there was no room to enter, so Zhang Guan could not turn into the inside.
However, Zhang Guan does not care that he will slide more distance, he is not eager to enter the inside, but is ready to continue to surpass Sheng Xibei.
"Zhang Guan is catching up!" Sheng Xibe can notice a red (身shēn) shadow after (身shēn).
"He shouldn’t have surpassed it in this period of time. Now he has entered the third lap. The final sprint will start at the third half of the lap. At this time, adjustments should be made to prepare for the final sprint. If it is now forced to surpass by consuming physical strength, Ken will affect the last sprint!"
Sheng Xibe was thinking, but Zhang Guan had already surpassed him.
"What? Zhang Guan really dare to surpass at this time! Are you confident in yourself? Or have no experience at all?"
In three and a half laps, Zhang Guan successfully came to the first position, and at this time there was only one lap left from the end point, and the final battle was about to come.
The first player to take action is the last one, Apollo. Of course, he will not stay in the fourth place all the time, so he surpassed the front of Hamelin.
Almost at the same time, Hamelin also started to accelerate, and his goal was Sheng Xibei.
"Just now Zhang Guan forcibly surpassed me. He must have not adjusted it yet. His sprint will be a little slower. Take advantage of it now, and overtake it!" Sheng Xibei thought of this and immediately surpassed Zhang Guan.
And Zhang Guan did not adjust as Sheng Xibei imagined. He did not adjust, but turned into a wild horse and rushed forward.
"Zhang Guan sprinted! So strong! Is this the true strength of Zhang Guan!" Sheng Xibei sighed.
The cry of the audience on the scene has reached the extreme. At this time, the situation of the scene (love qíng) may change every second.
From the end of the game, the last corner left. Apollo wanted to replicate the kind of surpassing Sheng Xibe over Hamelin at the beginning of the game. He also chose the inside, but he underestimated his (身shēn) material. , Also underestimated Hamelin's preparedness. Hamelin suffered a loss on Sheng Xibe (shēn), and naturally will not lose for the second time in a row. As a result, Apollo accidentally pressed the line when surpassing. This is a foul in the game and will inevitably be cancelled.
And because of defending Apollo, Hamelin also lost the opportunity to surpass Sheng Xibei. If the previous Zhang Guan and Sheng Xibei did not make mistakes, he could only accept the result of the bronze medal.
Sheng Xibei also knew that this corner might be his last chance, so he tried his best.
"I don't believe I will lose to you!" Sheng Xibei fully accelerated.
"I will definitely win!" Zhang Guan has the same belief in his heart. The difference is that there is no word "lose" in the Zhang Guan dictionary.
This is a competition for real speed, a competition for strength. Sheng Xibei showed the resilience of the world champion. He didn't play like other Korean players~IndoMTL.com~ but challenged Zhang Guan with his own strength.
Zhang Guan completely ignored Sheng Xibei's challenge, because there was only one thing in his eyes, and that was the end point. He has only one goal and rushes past as fast as possible!
......
"1500 meters, 1000 meters, and now 500 meters. Is Zhang Guan going to win again?" Coach Li Bing's hand began to tremble with difficulty. The closer to the end point, the more nervous his heart was, and time But it seems to be getting longer and longer. Coach Li Bing even has the feeling of a year.
"Time is so slow, time is so slow!" Coach Li Bing's breath suddenly froze, his eyes widened, not afraid to miss every subtle movement of Zhang Guan.
The finish line is near. Coach Li Bing has already blushed. At this time, he seems to be a volcano about to erupt.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhbbell with an anxiety!" Coach Li Bing raised his hands and shouted, "Cross the line! It's Zhang Guan! Win, let's win!"
The volcano inside Coach Li Bing finally erupted at this moment... (to be continued.)
