Section 1314 The game begins

Twenty minutes was not a long time, and when Li Jingyuan had just assigned their respective tasks to the team members, the staff blew the whistle for the assembly.

At the moment when the whistle sounded, a noisy sound suddenly came from the field. Someone shouted with surprise, 'Is this time?' Some people were more anxious, shouting 'give us a few more minutes', while others simply shouted a few foul words unconsciously.

The captain of Team D is Li Jingyuan, because he is usually very familiar with these idol players around him, and he has a leadership temperament that can overpower others, so when Team D assigns tasks, it is centered on Li Jingyuan's opinions, and others put forward supplementary opinions. Overall, the process of assigning tasks to Team D was relatively smooth.

Looking at the other three teams, the situation is different. Whether it's Park Tae-hwan or Kim Yuna and Lee Sang-hwa, they are just professional athletes and don't know their players as well as Lee Kyung-won. Therefore, when assigning tasks, it is impossible for these captains to be as assertive as Li Jingyuan, and in the discussion, they have not been able to grasp the dominance.

If you don't have the backbone to make an idea, it will not be so easy to determine the conclusion in the process of discussion. You think it's better, but I'm thinking differently, because the players have different opinions on the roster for almost every event, and in this case, it will take more time to reach an agreement.

By the time the whistle blew, the ABC team three were only halfway through the discussion. It was not possible to confirm the participants in all the events. However, the 100m dash and 110m hurdles were held at the top of the list, and the teams still had time to continue their discussions.

Why do you say that? Actually, the reason is very simple. Now it's just the preliminaries. If you want to participate in the competition, you only need to register, and there is no threshold limit. In the preliminaries, who can stand out and who will be eliminated depends on the individual ability of the players.

It's not that the top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals or finals of the next leg, but as if they were in a real sports meeting. Everything speaks for itself. In other words, it is possible that several people will reach the semi-finals at the same time in the first group of heats, and it is also possible that there will be a group of members of the preliminaries. None of the eight were able to make it to the semi-finals.

Whether you run fast or not is the only criterion for whether you can enter the next round of the competition. People who usually run fast, no matter which group they run in, will basically not miss the next round of the race. And people who usually run slowly. will definitely become a foil.

In other words, no matter how the teams arrange the order of the players, it will still not have much impact on the final result. To put it bluntly, the so-called preliminaries, in fact, are just a passing scene, and you don't need to put too much effort into paying attention. For those of the ABC team who won't be going to the running race, instead of focusing on the preliminaries, it is better to keep the discussion going. Take this opportunity to confirm the list of entries for the following events.

Of course, what to do in a while will have to wait a little longer. Now that the whistle has sounded, it is still necessary to assemble first.

When the four teams gathered together again, everyone saw several tables arranged in a row, each with a pile of vests and number plates, and two staff members standing and sitting in the back.

"What's this about? Do you have a physical examination? "Looking at the scene in front of them, some people unconsciously remembered the 'blood donation team' they had seen on the street.

Actually, now it's just a matter of registering the players.

In the past few sports meetings, because the program team divided the team for everyone early, when changing clothes, the members of each team can change into the sportswear prepared by the program team in advance with different colors. But this time the sports meeting is different, because it is a random lottery team, so it is naturally difficult for the program team to let everyone change into a certain color of clothes in advance.

So far, all the idols are wearing white tracksuits issued by the program team, and on the table in front of them, the vests of different colors are used to distinguish them from the team. After a while, the members of Team A will go to the first table and get a red vest to put on their clothes, and so on, and the other team members will also get blue, yellow, and green vests.

In addition to the vest used by the detachment, the staff member sitting behind the desk is also responsible for assigning a number to the members who come forward to receive the vest, and writing down the name of the idol corresponding to this number and the group to which it belongs in the notebook. The reason for this is also very simple, it is to make it easier for the commentator to comment, and it is also to facilitate the broadcast of the announcer on the spot.

You must know that there are more than 170 idols participating in this sports meeting. Even among the idols, no one will be able to write down the names and combinations of these 170 people, so it will be even more confusing to change to professional commentators and announcers who don't usually pay attention to idols.

If you don't write down the numbers and names and put them together in a book and give them to the commentators and announcers, there will inevitably be some embarrassing situations when you wait for the game. For example, when the players enter, the announcer cannot say the names of the players on the radio and introduce the information of the players, for example, during the game, the commentator is not good at commenting on someone's performance by name, etc.

In short, in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, the details that should be done still need to be done.

Team A's numbers are preceded by a capital A, followed by a number. By analogy, the number of Team D is a capital D plus a number.

The number itself doesn't have any special meaning, but I don't know who mentioned it, everyone wants to get the number corresponding to their age. People born in 88 are now 25 years old, and the corresponding number is 25. For those born in 89, the corresponding number is the ...... on the 24th, and the little crystal born in 94. The corresponding number is 19. Because everyone is a young idol, the age gap between each other is very small, so. From 19 to 25, these numbers suddenly became hot.

The status of the seeded players is relatively special, so under Li Jingyuan's arrangement, Xiao Lin, Gu Ha La, Zhao Quan and Min Hao occupied No. 1 to No. 4 respectively, and did not participate in the competition for those hot numbers.

In addition to them, Team D has forty other members, just four less contenders. The intensity of competition doesn't really change much.

Now I'm participating in the sports meeting, and I'm not trying to fight for endorsements, so I don't have to think about fame or anything. I want to get the number I want. There's only one way, and that's to beat the other opponents in guessing.

The most people were born in '88, '89, '90, and '91, so the four numbers 22, 23, 24, and 25 were the most intensely contested, and after some guessing. No. 22 was picked up by CNBlue's Lee Jeong-shin; No. 23 was taken by Sceret's Song Ji-eun; Number 24 corresponds to a person born in 89. When competing for this number, Li Jingyuan used his captain's privilege to give it to Jessica despite everyone's ridicule; As for No. 25, it was taken by Huang Guangxi, who was born in 88.

"Tsk, are you working so hard?" Relatively speaking, there are fewer idols born in 94, just after winning a few opponents. Xiao Jing got the number 19 corresponding to his age, and saw that others were still working hard to guess boxing. The girl was on the side and said a word.

I just grabbed the 24th in my hand, and I didn't have time to hand it over to Jessica, when I heard Xiao Jingjing's words, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Just you can~." Do you think you're the most relaxed? Look, your sister doesn't need to guess the boxing, she has already got the number~. ”

"Cut~~, that's your brother-in-law, you Laipi, it doesn't count at all~." Seeing Li Jingyuan hand the number to Jessica, Xiao Jing rolled her eyes and immediately said the reason for her objection.

"Well, even if you're right." After seeing the other person in his team, Li Jingyuan's heart turned, and he didn't continue to refute Xiao Jingjing, but nodded first and admitted it. After Xiao Jing showed a smug smile, he raised his hand, pointed at Narsha, and asked Xiao Jing, "So, compared to Sister Narsha, do you still think you are the most relaxed?" ”

Narsha, who was born in 81, is already 32 years old in 2012 if calculated by a Korean algorithm, so the number she corresponds to is naturally 32.

Young idols want to get a number that corresponds to their age, but Narsha, who is over 30 years old, doesn't have that idea at all. I wish she could look younger, how could she take the initiative to carry a big 32 on her back?

Xiao Crystal's No. 19 was quite easy, but in the end, she still got this number after guessing and defeating several opponents. Looking at Narsha again, she didn't have to do it herself, a few joking people took the initiative to send No. 32 to her arms, and they still couldn't get it.

“……。” No matter how you think about it, it is Narsha's side that is more relaxed, no matter how fast Xiao Jingjing is, she still can't find a reason to refute Li Jingyuan at this time. Seeing this girl with bulging cheeks, trying to make an excuse but unable to think of it, with a tangled expression, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

It took about 10 minutes to issue the number and register the register. When all of this is done, it's almost time for the game to begin.

Compared with the three ABC teams, the D team had a meeting more efficiently before, so at this time, the list of players participating in this competition was handed over to the program team first. After a few more minutes, the three ABC teams submitted their lists one after another and sent out the contestants.

The first was the men's 100m sprint heats, with Team A fielding a total of seven runners to participate in the heats, and Teams B and C were similarly fielded, each fielding six runners. Only Team D, which had a more efficient meeting and was more prepared, did not choose to 'cast more nets', but only selected the four more promising members of the team to participate in the preliminaries this time.

There were a total of 23 contestants participating in the preliminaries, and under the arrangement of the program team, they were divided into four groups. The four players sent by Team D were just spread out, and one person from each group participated.

It turns out. Li Jingyuan's selection principle is quite efficient. Although only four players were fielded, all four of them made it to the top 16 of the preliminary round and advanced to the semi-finals of the next round.

Seeded player Zhao Quan is also good at sprinting. In the preliminaries, he was placed in the bottom group. Because there was no one in this group who could keep up with him, he didn't give it his all in the preliminaries, just running a time of 13.45 seconds.

As I said before, it is not about taking the top few places in each group to enter the semi-finals, but about winning and losing by results. The better the results in the preliminaries, the more likely they are to reach the semi-finals.

Zhao Quan ran 13.45 seconds. He was the first in his group, but when you compare the results of other groups horizontally, it is not fast. There are a total of 16 semi-final spots. The time of 13.45 seconds was only 10th overall in the heats, and it was only less than a second away from 14.32 seconds, which was unable to enter the semi-finals.

The program team quickly posted the list of sixteen people for the semi-finals, and wrote the results of the preliminaries behind everyone. saw that Zhao Quan was only ranked tenth. The members of Team D, who were still cheering for him to win the group, were taken aback.

"Ahh You can't play in the semi-finals, you see, you almost didn't pass the preliminaries. As the captain, Li Jingyuan was more surprised than the others and more afraid of this result. Although he knew that Lu Dao's nagging was not good, he still couldn't help but pull Zhao Quan to his side, pointed to the sign with the report card and told him very seriously.

"Uh~." I was celebrating with my companions just now, and I was also taken aback by my ranking. I saw that I was less than a second away from being left behind. Zhao Quan's heart had just begun to show a little twitch, and the convulsions immediately subsided.

"Brother, wait a minute, I'll definitely run seriously. You can rest assured. After getting serious, Zhao Quan's expression also changed, no longer the usual hippie smile, but suddenly looked much more serious. Nodding seriously, he made a promise to Li Jingyuan.

Perhaps many people will agree with Li Jingyuan and Zhao Quan's current attitude, and feel that they really need to be more serious. But actually, there is no need to be so serious.

Even if there is no advice from Li Jingyuan, even if he does not see the results of the preliminaries, Zhao Quan will inevitably run faster in the semifinals than in the preliminaries.

Just think about it, you can know that those who can enter the semi-finals must be relatively fast. With these people as opponents, can the situation be the same as in the preliminaries? In the preliminaries, Zhao Quan unconsciously relaxed because he had no opponent, which led to him only running 13.45 seconds. However, in the semi-finals, after having a stronger opponent, will he still be so distracted? The answer is obvious, on the premise of having an opponent, Zhao Quan himself will definitely work harder, and his performance will naturally improve.

With an opponent, it is natural to run faster. Moreover, with Li Jingyuan's advice, Zhao Quan himself was also much more vigilant, so in the semifinals, he ran faster.

After the two semi-finals, the total results were counted again. This time, Zhao Quan did not hang on the tail again, but rushed to the top of the list in one fell swoop, winning the first place in the semifinals with a time of 12.12 seconds.

Zhao Quan once won the championship in this event, and that was during the first Idol Star Games, when his time was 12.46 seconds. Today, Zhao Quan ran 12.12 seconds, although it was not yet the final, but his result of breaking his previous record still caused a lot of surprise among the commentators. (At these events held at the Jamsil World Cup Stadium, Lee Kyung-won and others do not need to be guest commentators for the time being, and the commentators are Boom and Jun Hyun-moo, as well as a professional sports commentator invited by MBC.) )

"Right~~! That's right~~~! "Winning the first place in the semi-finals and breaking his previous record, not only Cho Quan himself was very happy, but also Lee Kyung-won and the rest of his teammates in Team D. When Zhao Quan returned to the group, everyone gathered around, either patting him on the shoulder or touching his head to celebrate him.

"Hara, it's your next one. Needless to say, you should know the truth, right? No matter who your opponents are, don't be careless. Don't care if others run fast or not, you just need to run forward with all your strength, don't you know how to do it? As the captain, Li Jingyuan did not go to celebrate Zhao Quan with others, he also has a more important task, which is to use Zhao Quan's example to remind several players who are about to participate in the women's 100m preliminaries, especially Gu Hala, this girl is also that kind of arrogant character, if she doesn't remind her seriously, she is really likely to repeat Zhao Quan's mistakes.

"Well, don't worry, OPPA. You just look at me~! It was not only because he was pulled by Li Jingyuan to tell a few words, but also because he saw the scene of Zhao Quan being congratulated by everyone after running a good result, and he was somewhat envious in his heart. Gu Hara also became unconsciously serious at this time, and while nodding in answer to Li Jingyuan, she bent her thin arms and put on a posture to show off her muscles: "Who am I?" I'm a Sein. Usain Bolt~! (To be continued......)
