The competition in the group is heated up by the fact that only a top-three finish in the group will guarantee qualification for tomorrow's semi-finals, and because Group 3 brings together four of the top 100m flyers from last year's London Olympics.

If only the quality of the competitors is considered, then Feng Quan, the "King of Speed", along with Jamaican John Blake and American Ryan Bailey, are undoubtedly the top three contenders in this group. For Martina, a relatively weak Dutch athlete, if he wants to qualify for the semi-finals, he will have to go through some unconventional "tactical deployment".

So, as early as yesterday, after learning about the semi-final grouping, the sprint coaching staff of the Dutch track and field team began to analyze the other competitors in the third group. In reality, the Dutch coaching staff is targeting only John Blake and Ryan Bailey.

First of all, through the information previously gathered, it is clear that in the third group there are four athletes who are far below Martina. As long as Martina didn't make any major mistakes in the game, he was sure of a win over them, so their name was dropped by the Dutch coaching staff at the beginning.

IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, FENG QUAN, THE STRONGEST IN THE THIRD GROUP, WAS ALSO PASSED BY THE DUTCH COACHING STAFF. Because for the 100m event, there are no flaws in any technical aspect, coupled with his perverted sprinting ability, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to defeat Martina with his strength alone.

Therefore, to secure a place in Group 3 to advance to the semi-finals, Martina will have to beat one of Blake and Ryan Bailey.

However, even if Blake and Ryan Bailey are slightly inferior to Feng Quan, as long as the two don't make mistakes in the game, Martina will still have a hard time winning. Therefore, when you know that your strength is inferior, you can only find out the weaknesses of your opponent and use them to find a "glimmer of life".

Soon, the Dutch coaching staff found the answer they were looking for through some information they had gathered. Although Blake and Ryan Bailey are among the best in the world, they also have certain flaws in the starting link.

Coincidentally, Martina's strength in the Netherlands is precisely his starting technique. That's why he was at the top of the 100m race at last year's London Olympics.

Although the crux of the problem was found, a small advantage in the starting stage was not enough to win steadily, after all, with the strength advantage of Blake and Ryan Bailey, there was still a good chance to overtake Martina in the second half. How to amplify Martina's advantage in the starting link will be the key to whether he can overcome the opponent.

After some deliberation and research, Martina's head coach decided to let Martina use the aggressive tactic of "pressing the gun to run" in the race, so as to maximize his advantages in the starting session. Although such a tactic is very risky, once the timing is not good, there will be a situation where you will be sent off the field directly. But for Martina, who is obviously weak, he can only give it a go.

So, the night before the start of the semi-finals, Martina, accompanied by several coaches, went to the playground of a middle school near the hotel where the Dutch delegation was staying, and conducted an hour and a half of special training on "pressure gun running".

…………

Even though he had already had a special training session for an hour and a half last night, Martina's mood was still a little nervous from the time he got up in the morning until he walked into the competition field.

It's no wonder that compared to losing the race after the start of the race, this kind of "pressure gun" failure, the result of being directly punished is really unacceptable.

In fact, if Martina were to choose, he would rather play in a relatively normal way, even if he can't secure a top-three finish in the group, he can still go for the best fourth place in the group and qualify for tomorrow's semi-finals. But now that the coach who discovered himself has already set the tactics for himself, Martina, who is naturally well-behaved, can only carry it out even if he is unwilling.

It's a pity that the so-called "twisted melon is not sweet".

Because Martina himself was reluctant to use the tactics of pressing the gun to run, and many European sports media reported on him before the race with titles such as "the new flag of European sprinting" and "the king of European sprinting", which undoubtedly increased his nervousness before the race.

As a result, Martina, who had been in a nervous state before the race, not only failed to give full play to his advantages in the starting link in the race, but was directly sent off because of the failure to run with the gun.

…………

Without Martina as a strong contender, the mood of the three "big guys" of Feng Quan, John Blake and Ryan Bailey immediately relaxed.

Especially Feng Quan, who wants to "pay the least in exchange for the maximum return", was even more overjoyed after seeing Martina sent off.

"Hey, it's really hungry and someone sends bread, and if you feel sleepy, someone sends a pillow."

Although there are some unexpected upsets in the 100m, the threat that Feng Quancong can feel is almost zero when the difference in strength between the other four opponents in the group is more obvious.

Originally, before Martina was not sent off, there may have been only one person who wanted to hold back in the game. However, after Martina was sent off for running, even Blake and Ryan Bailey had the same thoughts in their hearts. After all, there are still two games waiting for them tomorrow, so if you don't save a little physical exertion, you can add a point to tomorrow's game.

As if they had made an appointment, Feng Quan, Blake and Ryan Bailey began to slow down their running pace in the second 20 meters to maintain their strength for tomorrow's race, after doing their best in the first 80 meters to open up a clear gap to their rivals behind them.

In the end, without using any skill assistance, Feng Quan still ran a time of 9.98 seconds. Although this result is already the "worst" result that Feng Quan has participated in the official competition in the past year, but due to the relationship between Blake and Ryan Bailey, two direct rivals, who also have reservations in the competition, Feng Quan still easily won the first place in the third group and successfully advanced to tomorrow's semi-finals.

At the same moment, when Bolt, who was in the athletes' waiting area, saw the big screen in the stadium refresh the results of the game, a trace of pride immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.
