Chapter 305: Participating in the Relay
With the end of the relay competition, the short track speed skating World Cup series in China is all over, in a total of eight competitions, the Chinese team won five gold and one silver, becoming the biggest winner of the station. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, the most eye-catching is Sun Shine, who won three gold medals alone and became the biggest hero.
After losing several gold medals in the men's event, South Korea can only rank second with two gold, five silver and two bronze medals, of course, according to the number of medals, the South Korean team is still very powerful, but their medals are not very high.
After the game, Wang Meng also abided by his agreement and invited everyone to dinner, which can be regarded as a dinner party within short track speed skating, just to contact feelings.
After the end of the competition in China, Sun Shin and the short track speed skating team rushed to Seoul, South Korea, where the second leg of the World Cup will be held.
Before the start of the second game, coach Li Tan found Sun Shine and wanted to discuss something with Sun Shine, which is also because Sun Shine's cards are relatively large, and it would be okay if the average athlete notified him directly.
"Coach Li, is there anything wrong?" Sun Shine asked suspiciously, he had just finished training, and he was left behind by Li Tan, knowing that something must have happened.
"Little Sun, you sit." Li Tan said very politely, on the public, Sun Shine is now the strongest player in the short track speed skating men's team, on private, Sun Shine is the son of Li Tan's friend, not to mention that Sun Shine is very famous, it is normal to be polite.
"Is there something wrong?" After Sun Shine sat down, he was not polite, took Li Tan and poured a glass of water and drank it, not to mention, I still felt a little thirsty from training just now.
As the head coach, Li Tan has his own considerations, Sun Shine's strength is really good, and if nothing else, he will be the main force in next year's Winter Olympics, so Li Tan will try his best to protect Sun Shine, and even arrange Sun Shine's competition events.
"That's right, you did a good job in China." Li Tan first praised Sun Shine.
Sun Shine nodded, whether he performed well or not, everyone could see it, don't want Li Tan to say that he also knows, since Li Tan came up to praise him, there must be something to say, and it is not a trivial matter.
Seeing that Sun Shine didn't seem to have too many expressions, Li Tan was also very helpless, after all, Sun Shine was an athlete who had won many awards, the king of sprints in track and field, track and field was more influential than short track speed, and the verbal praise of this point would definitely not move him.
"The next stop is South Korea, and I have discussed it with other coaches, and I hope you can give up the competition in other sports." After thinking about it for a long time, Li Tan finally made up his mind to let Sun Shina not participate in a single event in Seoul, but only participate in the relay event, which can be regarded as a run-in with other athletes to prepare for the Winter Olympics.
"Why don't you let me race?" Sun Shine asked incomprehensibly.
"It's not that you won't be allowed to participate in the competition, but you won't be allowed to participate in the individual competition, and the relay event will still sign you up for it." Li Tan did not say that Sun Shine would not be allowed to participate in any competition, but Sun Shine would not be allowed to participate in a single event.
Sun Shine nodded, in fact, it didn't matter which project he participated in, Sun Shine just needed a reason, "Reason." ”
"You performed very eye-catching in the Chinese competition, and won a lot of championships from the Korean team, and we estimate that the Korean team will be unfavorable to you in the local competition, which is reflected in the foul on you, you must know that short track speed skating is wearing skates, and sometimes the foul will cause the athlete to be cut." This is Li Tan's first reason, and it is also out of the protection of Sun Shine.
"Do they dare to do this to me?" Sun Shin was puzzled, did the South Korean team do this? Isn't that looking for trouble?
"It's hard to say, after all, the Korean team has a precedent for this kind of precedent, foul tactics can also be used, and fouls in short track speed skating are also very easy, if you accidentally push you, anything can happen at South Korea's home stadium." Li Tan is very speechless about many small actions of the Korean team, their strength is not weak, but they are also very keen to use some unconventional means.
"However, I don't always stop playing, and the Korean team can use foul tactics anywhere." Sun Shine didn't understand that foul tactics are very common and can be used in any venue, so why doesn't he Sun Shine go to any short track speed skating competition because he is afraid of being fouled? What's more, Sun Shine also has the title of the king of sprinting in the world who can block fouls.
"Yes, the South Korean team uses foul tactics, of course, regardless of the occasion, but they will be relatively restrained abroad, and more importantly, ......," Li Tan paused, "The South Korean tournament is not too important, while the Canadian and American tournaments are the Winter Olympics qualifiers, which is more important." ”
Sun Shine was speechless for an instant, it was really unprofitable to be early, and not letting him participate in the South Korean station was not only to protect him, but also because the South Korean station was not a Winter Olympics qualifier, so it was not of great importance.
"In that case, why should I participate in the relay race? Can't they foul in a relay race? Sun Shiner continued to ask.
Li Tan smiled, "In a single competition, the Korean team has three players, and if one player fouls, you will be taken down, and the remaining two players can still continue to compete, and the Korean team in the relay competition is a whole, once the foul, the Korean team is finished, how can they do this?" ”
Sun Shine thought about it, it seemed right.
"Okay, you can take a break, recharge your batteries, and save up your energy for the Canadian and American races, and next year's Winter Olympics is your goal." Li Tan patted Sun Shine's shoulder and said.
In any case, Sun Shine can only accept Li Tan's proposal now, which can be regarded as a run-in with other team members, and win gold medals in four short track speed skating events at the Winter Olympics next year.
In the following days, Sun Shine gave up training for individual competitions, and he stepped up training for relay races.
And as Li Tan guessed, Jeon Jae-mao immediately arranged a new tactic after returning to Seoul, that is, he kept harassing Sun Shine, and finally fouled if he couldn't do it, anyway, he didn't let Sun Shine have a good time.
But who knows, the Chinese team is not at ease with common sense, they actually did not arrange Sun Shiner to participate in the single event of the Seoul station, but arranged for him to participate in the relay event, which made all the arrangements of Jeon Jae-mao fall through.
"This group of Chinese is really cunning, it doesn't matter, anyway, the competition in Seoul is not important, I see when you hide." Jeon Jae-mao believes that sooner or later Sun Shiner will have to participate in a single event, and only then will he take revenge. (To be continued.) )
