In order to get better results, spreedging is common in many athletics competitions.

In 2001, the IAAF stipulated that each runner could only run once, and the second run would result in a penalty.

As a result, the application of rush tactics was born, and many low-level athletes deliberately used the rules to run, creating tension and prolonging the pace of track and field competitions, because no one knew which one was the real run, which made those big-name athletes nervous and miserable, which especially affected the performance.

In the early years, Liu Xiang was also a beneficiary of the front-running tactics.

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, he deliberately pressed the line to rush and disrupt the opponent's deployment, which gave him his first taste of sweetness.

In the 2006 IAAF Finals, Liu Xiang repeated his old skills, and the rushing tactics made Robles suffer, when Liu Xiang won the championship in 12.93 seconds, Robles ran out of the shameful 0.108 second starting reaction speed, saying that he would hate Liu Xiang for the rest of his life, maybe this is also the 2011 Daegu World Championships, Robles deliberately pulled Liu Xiang's hand several times, so that Liu Xiang lost the gold medal An important reason, the two were even.

But in 2010, in order to protect a top player like Usain Bolt, and at the same time prevent track and field competitions from becoming extraordinarily lengthy, the IAAF imposed a controversial rule of "zero rushing", and sent off the field after one run.

Therefore, the top players all start with a gun, because no one wants to lose their qualifications and be sent off.

Xie Wenjun is different.

I am only 22 years old this year, and it is the first time I have participated in such a big competition in the Olympic Games, so I still have opportunities and room for growth in the future.

But Liu Xiang finished this session, and he never had a chance again.

"Now looking at the results of the preliminaries, Robles is ranked first, Merritt is second, Richardson is third, Liu Xiang is fourth, Xie Wenjun is fifth, and the medals will definitely come from these five. ”

Coach Sun wrote on the tactical whiteboard: "If you run normally, Liu Xiang may hit the silver medal, this depends on their three 13-second masters on the spot, and Xie Wenjun definitely has no chance." I propose to make a choice, a tactical arrangement that is beneficial to the team. ”

Everyone understood the meaning of his words, that is, sacrificing Xie Wenjun and fulfilling Liu Xiang.

It just so happened that Xie Wenjun also had this intention, he said shyly: "I came to this Olympics with learning experience, and I can't run under 13 seconds anyway, it is impossible to win a medal, and fourth or fifth means nothing to me." Senior brother, you just listen to the coach, let me take the lead, you concentrate on the medal. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Liu Xiang again.

Liu Xiang tried to ask: "Can you let me run away and foul, Xie Wenjun to fight for the third place?"

"No way!"

The proposal was almost unanimously rejected.

"It's not that I don't trust Xiao Xie, strength is a hard bar, and you can't be fake. 13.19 seconds is already Xiao Xie's best time, but let him compete with other 13-second competitors for the bronze medal, the odds of winning the medal are too low. ”

Everyone knows that Liu Xiang's performance has declined, and those who can run into 13 seconds are all top international masters, Liu Xiang is indeed a little difficult now, after all, he only had Achilles tendon surgery three years ago, and it is impossible for him to return to the peak.

Coach Sun asked Liu Xiang, "What are your concerns?"

Liu Xiang was very entangled, and said hesitantly: "If I rush away, Robles and they will definitely be more nervous, what if Xie Wenjun still has a chance?"

This also makes sense, everyone is talking about it, it should be impossible to win the championship, and ensuring that getting a medal is the biggest benefit at this stage, and taking a silver medal or a bronze medal can make a big difference.

Liu Xiang took the opportunity to look at Coach Sun, the two walked to the room, closed the door, and Liu Xiang said, "I want to call home and ask their opinions." ”

Coach Sun said, "Yes, I'll go get you the phone." ”

In order not to affect the rest of the athletes, the team keeps the phone in a unified manner.

When Coach Sun came back, Liu Xiang called his parents.

The two elders of the Liu family in the early morning must not be able to sleep, of course, they have to watch the live broadcast of their son's game, at this time, the two elders are still brewing strong tea, turning on the headlights, living in Zhu Jun's villa, and their eyes are red.

The two elders were extremely excited: "Son, why are you calling?"

Liu Xiang said, "Are you all right? Where are you now?"

"We were in Mr. Zhu's villa, he invited us to come over as guests, we were really gracious, so we came, haha!"

"Are you alright? Are you going to the finals soon?"

"Come on, don't have a psychological burden, and don't care what we think, no matter what results you run, you are our good son. ”

The simple words of his parents made Liu Xiang quite moved, as long as his parents are safe, it doesn't matter how much he is wronged outside.

happened to be shouting Coach Sun outside, and after Liu Xiang waited for him to go out, he immediately closed the door and called Yang Lei again.

Yang Lei was also waiting for this call, and hurriedly asked, "How are you doing over there?"

Liu Xiang was not at ease: "Do my parents ensure safety?"

Yang Lei said: "Safety, that is Mr. Zhu's secret love nest, only he knows." In addition, to tell you the truth, an hour ago, a few thieves went to your house, and we ambushed and caught them, and they are being interrogated. I just want to say, it's okay if you run or not, no matter how many places you get, as long as we have this evidence, it's enough to clear your name. ”

Liu Xiang clenched his fists and whispered YES.

At the same time, when he heard that a few little thieves had come to his house, he felt extremely angry.

An impulse for revenge, born from the bottom of my heart.

Liu Xiang said: "I still have a phone evidence, it is from Nike, but I didn't bring it, just in the personal locker of my training base, there is a small lockbox, and the password is 831288." ”

Yang Lei was happy: "There is still evidence of Nike? Why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

Liu Xiang said: "Listen to me, I am going to run hard this time, and I will retire after running this Olympics, and I will not be an athlete again." I think that no matter how much money people make in this life, no matter how much gas they have, if they don't spend their lives, it will all be empty in the end. ”

"If you win a medal and cause others to lose 1 billion euros, you're afraid that you will have a long life, right?"

"Who told them to threaten me with my family? Besides, if I did win the gold medal, they would have the audacity to touch me? I was not afraid of retaliation from our country, which is why I had to fight so hard. ”

It makes sense, Yang Lei thinks that if Liu Xiang really wins the gold medal, or the medal, Liu Xiang can become famous, retire logically, and then go to Tianguan to be a leader, and then be a member of the Zhengxian Committee, with the state covering, the spinach company should not dare to do it, otherwise the relevant departments will block their account of the Aomen Spinach Company in minutes, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition, this time the spinach company lost 1 billion euros to go out, and it should be advertised, those Chinese gamblers have tasted the sweetness, and when the 2014 World Cup comes, will they not intensify their efforts to invest in it again?

In the spinach industry, as long as the gambler player does not stop, it does not matter if the momentary gain or loss, the final winner is always the dealer, which is an iron law.

The smart spinach company should be able to swallow its anger, play a long line, and catch big fish, like the first time to go to the south of Aomen Yuenan, as long as they go to the casino, most of them will win money, because this can arouse the interest of traveling next time.

Yang Lei finally advised: "Okay, you let go of your hands and feet and run, and finally bloom brilliantly, what the result is." If you take a card, you will hide after the celebration banquet and don't show up, and you will retire when you return to China, and it should be okay to keep a low profile for a few years. I hired a professional bodyguard at home and asked the police to arrange a protection plan to ensure the safety of your family. ”

"Thank you Yang Lei, really, it is really the greatest blessing in my life to have a friend like you. ”

Hearing Yang Lei's assurance, Liu Xiang finally became happy.

There was a knock on the door.

"I'm going to hang up first, and I'm going to play soon. ”

Liu Xiang hurriedly hung up the phone, deleted the communication records, opened the door and walked out.

Everyone outside has already negotiated and determined, or Xie Wenjun will rush to let Liu Xiang ensure the medal and hit the gold medal.

Liu Xiang also agreed, and Coach Sun and the others immediately followed the old tactics to teach them to control their facial expressions, practice various frustration actions after the rush, and be sure to do more like it to put pressure on other athletes.

Half an hour later, everyone leaves the rest area, and the athletes enter the stadium to warm up in the preparation area and prepare for the final.

The final of the 110m hurdles starts at 8:30 p.m. in London, and it is already 4:30 a.m. in China.

It's really hard for CCTV, in order not to miss Liu Xiang's game, it deliberately set up an all-night live broadcast room, and let the night shift commentator be responsible for explaining and refreshing the sleepy audience.

Seeing the athletes entering, the commentator immediately became excited: "Audience friends, it is the final scene of the men's 110-meter hurdles, and my country's players Liu Xiang and Xie Wenjun will join hands to participate in the competition......"

Liu Xiang's parents didn't close their eyes all night, just waiting for this moment.

Seeing Xie Wenjun appear, the two elders were very excited.

Seeing Liu Xiang again, the two elders couldn't sit still with excitement.

When introducing the hurdles celebrities one by one, Dad Liu held the pen and recorded the micro-expressions of each athlete in his small book, giving two different marks: + and -.

Although he is not a professional, he has also been trained to become a professional analyst in the field of athletics.

Dad Liu still muttered: "It seems that Robles is not in good shape, a little nervous, Merritt can't see it for the time being, Richardson is in good shape......"

It's just that on the faces of his son and Xie Wenjun, Dad Liu can't see through it at all.

Even the most familiar son can't see what he really thinks.

"I'm so nervous. ”

"Me too. ”

The two elders held hands, sat together, and watched the TV screen, not daring to blink their eyes.

“On-your-marks！”

Unlike swimming, track and field athletes have a longer preparation time, and many people have to jump twice and wave their arms after hearing the sound, creating an atmosphere of "Lao Tzu is going to magnify his moves" and intimidate the competitors around them.

When everyone was stuck in time, squatting on the starting block, the "Set" command came out on the radio.

All the contestants pout their butts at the same time.

In the middle of a few tenths of a second, the attention of the eight players was highly concentrated, and every cell in the body entered a state of preparation.

Syllable!

The starting gun sounded, and at the moment when everyone rushed out, snap!

This was followed by another shot, indicating that someone was running away, and everyone slowed down again.

Robles!

It turned out to be the world record holder, and the strongest player, Robles, was running!

Yang Lei in the stands stood up in shock, he couldn't believe it!

There are also many viewers around who can't believe it, shocked, shocked, shaking their heads and regretting,

Is there any mistake that Robles can still run away, you are a player who can win a gold medal, do you still need to run away?

Rushed and was sent off directly!

Sure enough, Robles, who committed the foul, didn't seem to understand his rushing behavior and hurried to explain to the referee.

It's a pity that under the high-speed camera shooting, the evidence of the rush can be seen at a glance.

Robles's distorted expression, his remorseful eyes, and his incessant protests were all captured on official cameras and sent around the world.

It's a shame to be in this rush!

Robles covered his face with his hands and sighed as he slowly walked out of the arena with endless disappointment and chagrin.

The coaches and leaders of the Chinese track and field team were also in a panic, and the tactics formulated before were completely disrupted, and they still didn't implement them?

As soon as Robles left, Liu Xiang and Xie Wenjun were stable in third and fourth.

So winning the medal is ironclad, and even two people enter the top three at the same time, one wins the silver medal and the other wins the bronze medal, there is also great hope!

Greedy, of course you have to be greedy, how can you win if you are not greedy?

"You can't use the front-running tactics anymore!"

Coach Sun wanted to convey the order, but they couldn't get close to the athletes at all, and the team leaders also looked nervously on the field, not knowing what tactics Liu Xiang and Xie Wenjun would use.

The domestic commentator was so excited that he shouted loudly: "Opportunity! Our opportunity has come! Look at Liu Xiang and Xie Wenjun, the two of them have a eye contact! That's right, they deliberately walked back slowly, and they were talking about something! They must have tactical arrangements, this kind of accident is very rare, this is a big surprise!"

Father Liu waved his fist the moment the gun was fired: "Great! Liu Xiang can definitely win a medal, he definitely has the strength of the top three!"

"It's not easy, I'm really lucky that Robles, the biggest rival, was fouled and sent off, which is a godsend. ”

"Haha! I must have just worshiped Guan Erye's blessing, so Guan Erye wielded the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and cut Robles' Achilles tendon in the air, making him unable to run. ”

"Can Second Master Guan still fly to London?"

"That's why it's called divine power. ”

The two elders were so happy that they were a little incoherent.

Yang Lei hurriedly raised his mobile phone and communicated with Xu Shiwei, who did not hang up: "Robles has withdrawn, and Liu Xiang has a good chance to win a medal." ”

"Withdrawn?"

Xu Shiwei thought about it and was very happy: "Robles withdrew, and Liu Xiang only had two endings. The first is that he runs with all his might, and he will definitely enter the top three, and the spinach company will vent some of his grievances on Robles, and the pressure on Liu Xiang will be reduced. The second kind does not run with all his strength, does not enter the top three, spinach company earns 250 million, Liu Xiang has no pressure. ”

Yang Lei understood that both situations were good things for Liu Xiang.

As for whether Robles made such a low-level mistake and was manipulated by the spinach company, only God knows.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong. ”

What did Yang Lei think of: "If Robles was manipulated by the spinach company and deliberately withdrew from the competition, wouldn't it make Liu Xiang's chances of winning a medal skyrocket and let himself lose money?"
