Chapter 319: Shota Iizuka
As a rising star of the island national team, Shota Iizuka is only 20 years old this year, one year younger than Tang Hao, but in terms of popularity in the Asian sprint industry, the popularity of "Asian Bolt" is obviously much higher than that of Tang Hao, a newcomer.

Shota Iizuka looked at Tang Hao at this time, although he was smiling, his face was full of pride.
It can be seen that this Shota Iizuka seems to know a little about him, and he seems to have something else in mind.
Tang Hao touched the tip of his nose, followed by retracting his gaze, and walked to the arena.
"Asuka, go and shock the world. Shota Iizuka turned around and said to Asuka Cambridge, who was about to play.
The Cambridge Asuka nodded heavily and followed lightly onto the runway.
This time the track and field competition is an intercontinental event, and the A standard required for participation is not high, and Tang Hao did not go all out at the beginning, so at this time his track is on the 7th track, a position that is obviously not very good.
The same goes for the Cambridge Flying Birds, who reached the A standard in the domestic championships a few months ago, and his results are not outstanding, he is on the sixth runway, right next to Tang Hao.
The strongest member of the group is Qatari planner Steve Murphy from the fourth runway.
The competition is about to start, and the players are also making final preparations before the game.
Tang Hao's surroundings, including the Cambridge Flying Birds, were all doing the final adaptation test run back and forth in their respective runways.
After Tang Hao tried it once, he was observing this mixed-race player from the island country.
Limited by physical fitness, the yellow race has a fatal flaw in sprinting, and the overall level has almost reached a bottleneck, at this time, planning and mixed race have become shortcuts for some countries, the former is represented by Qatar, and the latter is the island nation.
This Cambridge Bird has very long legs and well-proportioned muscles, making it a typical explosive player.
Jamaica is a sprint kingdom, and although the Cambridge Birds are only half Jamaican, they can be seen to be strong, at least in the Asian range.
After watching it twice, Tang Hao also knew it.
Looking back at the expectant eyes of his teammates on the island team, it seems that this Cambridge Asuka, like him, has somewhat retained some strength in the previous tryouts.
"Attention players, the game is about to start. "There were referees and interpreters on the sidelines to remind the players.
Hearing the referee's reminder, the runners all returned to the track and squatted down to make the final preparations before departure.
"Come on every day!"
"Tang Hao, come on!"
"Rocket refueling!"
At this time, there were bursts of shouts from the sidelines, and the audience's excitement was too much more than Zhang Beimeng.
Anyway, Tang Hao's popularity is there.
The Cambridge Asuka also turned his head to look at the sidelines, and then reached out and patted his chest to cheer himself on.
After the players had finished preparing for the start, the referee raised the flare gun in his hand.
"Ready!"
With the referee's shout, the scene gradually quieted down.
"Ready!"
Tang Hao, like all the other players, cocked his hips, and the whole person was in a state of sprinting.
There was silence at the scene, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, Tang Hao, together with the other players, jumped out with a brisk step and rushed out.
The scene erupted in cheers.
In the eyes of the audience, the tense muscles and the fast figure made the adrenaline in their hearts rush straight up.
Sprinting, a factor that is integrated into human bones, has a strong resonance at this moment.
Deafening cheers and shouts followed.
The whole stadium was filled with this atmosphere.
The corner is not a straight road, and it is impossible to intuitively see who has the lead, but it is precisely because of this that the speed difference between Tang Hao and Cambridge Asuka and the bypass players makes them see their blood boiling.
Almost as if they were getting rid of it, Tang Hao and Cambridge Asuka completely threw off the players in the eighth and fifth lanes after rushing only 20 meters.
At this time, the only one who could keep up with them was Murphy of the Four Paths.
The audience on the sidelines was excited and excited at this time.
This is probably the most disparate group stage in history, and who would have predicted that the strongest player would be a player from six or seven lanes.
"Damn, that Cambridge bird is so fierce!"
"Tang Hao really saved his strength!"
On the sidelines, the players of the Chinese team and the island country team were taken aback.
100 meters out, Tang Hao and Cambridge Asuka completely threw off the other players, and even Murphy couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
The remaining 100 meters of straight road became a head-on confrontation between Tang Hao and Cambridge Flying Birds, although Tang Hao was still ahead, but his lead was less than one meter.
"Tang Hao!
The audience on the sidelines was still cheering for Tang Hao, but there was uncontrollable tension on his face, because the scene in front of him seemed to be similar, and when Zhang Beimeng of the first group came to this position, he was almost the same leader.
After entering the straight, Cambridge Flying Bird narrowed the distance between him and Tang Hao a little bit.
The cheers of the audience gradually became smaller, Tang Hao is going to repeat Zhang Beimeng's mistake!
Cambridge Asuka looked at the smaller and smaller distances, and his face couldn't help but show excitement.
Even if he wins Tang Hao in the group stage, then he will become a hero of the island people, and those who question his bloodline will all keep their mouths shut.
The audience of the island country on the sidelines was already excited at this time, and they were desperately waving the national flag in their hands.
Tang Hao heard the change in the audience's mood, and his eyes also felt that a figure was approaching, and he knew that the Cambridge Flying Bird behind him was catching up.
He didn't retain his strength anymore, his whole body was completely let go, he took a big step under his feet, his arms swung rapidly, and his whole body pressed forward.
Almost instantly, he rushed out like a car with a second acceleration.
The distance between him and the Cambridge Bird also widened by more than a meter at once.
At this moment, the audience on the sidelines was completely stunned.
Zhu Huaiyu also got up from his seat excitedly.
It's just sci-fi!
This picture, if you lose the renderings of the jet on Tang Hao's tail, it is simply a second-stage rocket!
Cambridge Flying Bird's face was also in disbelief, but his speed had also increased to the fastest at this time, and his physical strength had basically reached the bottleneck, so he could only watch Tang Hao go away little by little.
A deafening cheer erupted from the scene.
Tang Hao is really Tang Hao, and he won't lose at all!
Cambridge Flying Bird chased Tang Hao completely with a breath before, but at this time, this anger was released, and his whole speed slowed down significantly.
At the last moment, Tang Hao deliberately reduced his speed and crossed the finish line with a distance of more than two meters ahead of the Cambridge Flying Birds.
The final result came out, and Tang Hao's score was 20.50 seconds!
This result is similar to his previous performance with Su Bingtian and their team, the top result in Asia.
At the same time, it is also the best result in the group stage so far.
"Rocket! Rocket!"
The cheers at the scene came one after another, and Tang Hao still did not disappoint them as always!
Tang Hao waved his arms a few times at the audience, and looked back at the Cambridge Flying Bird as he walked.
The latter's score is actually not bad, 20.84 seconds, which is much better than his teammate Yuzo Kanamaru's results, but it can be seen that this hybrid is a little unhappy about losing to him, and he shook his head vigorously.
When returning to the island national team, his teammates did not show a very excited look, and the atmosphere of the whole team was still dignified.
In contrast, the atmosphere on the Chinese team's side is much better, before Zhang Beimeng accidentally fell to third, and others were more encouraging, and when Tang Hao won the first place in the group, Zhang Beimeng jumped over directly and hugged Tang Hao suddenly, even the shy Xie Zhenye was excited to reach out and touch his fist.
Of the three athletes in the Chinese team who participated in the 200 meters, Xie Zhenye is now the only one left.
Speaking of which, Xie Zhen's main attack is 200 meters, and the 200 meters strength is much stronger than Zhang Beimeng.
Xie Zhenye is in the fourth group, and when the third group is finished, he will follow and appear.
"Xie Zhenye, come on!"
Immediately there were shouts of cheering for Xie Zhenye at the scene.
Xie Zhenye smiled and waved to the audience, his face flushed slightly.
"Lao Xie is good at everything, but he is too shy, if it weren't for his teammates, I couldn't help but complain about his mother. Zhang Beimeng looked at Xie Zhenye's appearance and couldn't help complaining.
Xie Zhenye glanced at the sun above his head at this time and sneezed.
"He's sure he knows you say he. Tang Hao said with a smile.
Zhang Beimeng was stunned for a moment, smirked and reached out to scratch his head.
As soon as the players are ready, the fourth group of competitions begins.
There are no players from the island nation in this group, but there is a Bahraini planner.
Xie Zhenye finally played steadily, ran 20.91 seconds, won the first place in the group, and successfully advanced to the semifinals.
At this point, two of the three have been confirmed to advance to the semifinals, which is definitely good news for the Chinese team.
"Old Xie, cow break!" As soon as Xie Zhenye came, Zhang Beimeng went up and gave him a big hug, which made Xie Zhenye's face red again.
"We were a group in the semi-finals. Tang Hao also smiled and patted Xie Zhenye's shoulder.
"Look, Usain Bolt is going to be on Asia. Zhang Beimeng said ridiculously at this time.
Tang Hao looked towards the island national team, and what he didn't expect was that Shota Iizuka also looked at him.
"This guy is actually looking at us, that look is really bad!" Zhang Beimeng said very unhappily.
Tang Hao smiled and didn't speak, the direction of Shota Iizuka's gaze happened to be him, when he looked over before, he knew that this island country player had ideas about himself, and it seemed that he couldn't be wrong.
"Iizuka-kun!
The audience of the island country is also very excited at this time, and it can be seen that as the leader of the new generation of the 200 meters of the island country, Shota Iizuka has a very high popularity in the island country.
Shota Iizuka's legs are not as long as those of Asuka Cambridge, but the whole leg is much thicker, and the solid muscles show that his usual training volume is definitely not small.
After the players were ready, the referee on the sidelines shouted the order, fired the flare gun, and the game began immediately.
Shota Iizuka is like a sword sold, and the whole one rushes directly.
He was fast-paced, quickly establishing his lead, and by going from the corner into the straight, he had already secured the top spot in the group.
Frankly, the other competitors in this group were not too strong, but Shota Iizuka did not intend to accelerate after taking the lead, but continued to sprint, and in the end, he crossed the finish line first by more than five meters ahead of the second place.
His final time was 19.49 seconds, 0.01 seconds faster than Tang Hao.
After crossing the finish line, his body rose and fell violently, and it could be seen that he was doing his best, and after seeing his results, he slapped his chest hard, followed by his right hand to press the fist, and it could be seen that he was a little excited.
In the excited shouts of the audience in the island nation on the sidelines, Shota Iizuka walked back proudly.
After passing the position where the Chinese team members were standing, he suddenly stopped and walked straight over.
Iizuka Sho was too dragged, Zhang Beimeng was already very unhappy, but when he saw that he walked straight to the Chinese team, he was even more unhappy, so he took a step forward and said directly: "What are you doing here?!"
Shota Iizuka glanced at Zhang Beimeng, quickly moved away, and then looked at Tang Hao and said, "I'm waiting for you in the finals, don't be eliminated in the semifinals." ”
Some of his Chinese are not very standard, but the general meaning can still be understood.
This sentence is a bit familiar, when he was in the National Track and Field Championships before, Lei Jianfeng also said something similar, but although it was the same thing, it sounded completely different at this time.
Shota Iizuka's eyes were full of smugness, and that feeling, when the game began, was already a winner's gesture.
It's exactly the same as his previous performance in front of the media.
"You too. Tang Hao smiled and said.
Sho Iizuka was too obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to expect Tang Hao to answer like this.
"Haha~" Zhang Beimeng couldn't help laughing at this time, "Get out of here, don't stop us from watching the game here!"
Sho Iizuka clenched his fists too violently, and it looked like he was going to make a move.
Tang Hao also took a step forward, those who don't know know know that he is a newcomer to track and field, but those who know know that he is a professional boxing champion.
Seeing Tang Hao step forward, Shota Iizuka slowly let go of his fist hand, laughed coldly, and then walked away.
"Coward!" Zhang Beimeng scolded at Shota Iizuka's back.
Xie Zhenye pulled him.
Tang Hao turned around at this time and said, "Prepare well for the semifinals in the afternoon." ”
Hearing what Tang Hao said, Zhang Beimeng retracted his gaze and nodded.
Tang Hao registered all the events for the continental championships this time, in addition to the semi-finals of the 200 meters in the afternoon, there was also the final of the 1500 meters.
After gaining seventy percent of the power of the Shenxing Taibao, middle-distance running is actually similar to the effect of warm-up for him.
In the afternoon race, he easily won the championship in the 1500 meters, and after the race, the appearance of leisurely strolling after the race formed a strong contrast with the panting appearance of other athletes, which also made the audience can't help but shake their heads.
If you go on like this, you will really be without friends soon.
