20:30 p.m.

After yesterday's almost full house, Nagai Stadium had the second highest spectatorship since the start of the tournament, with more than 40,000 spectators gathering at more than 47,000 seats.

This time, many Chinese spectators from as far as Osaka still occupied a lot of seats, and although the tickets were expensive, tonight's game was just as meaningful as yesterday's game.

However, the number of Japanese viewers in Osaka has increased. One of the main reasons is tonight's men's 4×100m relay.

In last year's Asian Games, although the Japanese team lost to the Chinese team, after that defeat, the Japanese team has been strengthening the training of relay events for more than half a year.

Previously, Japan's Doga TV had been reporting on the training of the Japanese men's 4×100m relay team, and there were several internal runs. Coupled with the several advocacy of Koji Ito, the first sprinter in Japan, on TV, many Japanese viewers have a certain confidence in the Japanese men's 4×100m relay team.

The choice for Chinese spectators is much simpler, with several major matches today, making many of them buy tickets.

The first and most important race was the preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay, which started at 20:40 p.m.; The second is at 22:05 in the evening, Ye Qin participated in the men's 400m final; The third game is at 22:20, with Liu Yangyu in the men's 110m hurdles final.

With these three matches, for many Chinese viewers who go to Japan, they are basically unwilling to miss it.

In the stands at the scene, Ye Qin wore long sleeves and long pants and watched four Chinese athletes wearing red sprint suits, led by a Japanese guide, appear at the Changju Stadium, and felt a little nervous in his heart.

"Is it much more nervous to watch someone else play in the stands than to be yourself?"

Standing beside Ye Qin, Yuan Guohua saw that Ye Qin's face was a little solemn, and he couldn't help but smile and joke lightly.

Ye Qin pursed his lips when he heard this, and nodded slightly, "It's more nervous than playing on the field." ”

"Now you can understand how we felt when we watched you play!" On the other side, Coach Li Qi also smiled and answered.

"Understood." Ye Qin smiled helplessly.

On the field, when he participates in the game, no matter how much pressure and how bad the situation is, he can control it, but when he is on the sidelines, as a member of the bystanders, that kind of uncertainty and uncontrollability does make Ye Qin feel different tension and pressure.

He and Coach Li Qi are no strangers, when they return to Shuimu University to train, the other party will give him some guidance, and then coupled with some data analysis from the sports department, the relationship has always been very good.

"Don't worry, trust your own teammates, they can do it." Coach Li Qi said with a smile again, but despite the smile, Ye Qin keenly caught a trace of nervousness from the corner of the other party's eyes.

Coach Yuan Guohua didn't speak again, and after Fang Cai's words, it was obvious that his whole spirit was on the field.

But at this point, what he has to do is really believe in his teammates.

He still remembers that when he communicated with Coach Yuan Guohua, Coach Yuan Guohua told him, "The sprint team is not his alone, and he can't rely on him alone to win the world." For the players to grow, they need to see the big scene and participate in the competition under pressure. ”

Ye Qin knew that Coach Yuan Guohua was right, the 4×100-meter relay was impossible on his own, he needed to have teammates, and he needed to believe that his teammates could create good results.

If he can't trust his teammates to do it, then when he comes on the pitch, the result will be the same. Without trust, without mutual trust, no matter how fast he runs on the fourth base, he may also question where the first three runs are wrong, and eventually lead to failure.

"I've already started to measure my steps!"

Chen Zhongzhou shouted behind several people, his voice trembling a little.

On the 400-meter track of Nagai Stadium, the runners have already paid attention to the relay area where they are and began to measure the steps at this time.

At the same time, at this time, the first group of competition lists for the preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay also appeared on the big screen at the scene.

First, the Chinese team;

the second lane, the Polish team;

the third lane, the Italian team;

fourth lane, Team Canada;

Fifth lane, South Africa;

Sixth, Team England;

Seventh, Brazil;

There were only 14 teams participating in the men's 4×100m relay at this World Championships, which were divided into two preliminary teams.

As the time approached minute by minute, many people at the scene, including Ye Qin, became nervous.

Ye Qin can actually not come to the scene to watch the 4×100-meter relay race, he still has the 400-meter final behind him, at this time to watch his teammates play, if he wins, it is good to say, if he loses, it is a very serious impact on his mentality.

However, after warming up, he put on his long coat and trousers and still appeared in the stands.

He can't play alongside his team-mates, but he still wants to be able to see them stand out together.

In this preliminaries, the lineup of the Chinese team is Wen Yongyi as the first base, Zhang Peimeng as the second base, Yang Yao as the third base, and Gu Kai as the fourth base.

At 8:40 p.m., a total of 28 runners in the seven lanes were basically ready to take their positions, and the scene sounded "On your marks!" The player is in place.

In an instant, in the huge stadium, the noisy sound suddenly became quieter, and many people's eyes were firmly fixed on the starting line.

Ye Qin's fists clenched slightly, his eyes fell on Wen Yongyi, the first player of the Chinese team in the first way, Ye Qin knows Wen Yongyi well, his personality is a little introverted, and his speech is occasionally a little extreme, which is not particularly popular.

However, his personal strength is currently relatively strong, especially the start and acceleration in the first half of the race, which is second to none among domestic sprinters, but Wen Yongyi's competition mentality is not particularly prominent, and he has participated in many large-scale competitions, but he has not been able to play particularly outstanding results.

This is what Coach Yuan Guohua said, many domestic sprinters can't produce results as soon as they enter the international arena, and they can run within 10.30 seconds in China, but they can only run 10.4 or 10.5 seconds after the competition.

Ye Qin has no opinion on Wen Yongyi, at this moment he just hopes that Wen Yongyi's mentality must be stable, starting from the 05 indoor competition, the two of them run 60 meters, and the other runs 200 meters and 400 meters, which is very familiar.

As long as Wen Yongyi's shot does not make a mistake, the subsequent shots will be stable and the baton will be handed over, and then ......

Ye Qin felt that his heart seemed to be beating faster and faster, he didn't dare to continue to think about it, at this moment he just wanted to be in it and participate in the competition in place of others.

Syllable!

The starting gun rang out!

Almost instantly, Ye Qin stood up directly from his position and looked at Wen Yongyi in the first way.

The starting reaction is very fast, the acceleration is very steady, although it is the inside of the pass, but because there are only seven players, the Chinese team said that it is the first way, but in the arrangement of the pass is actually the second way.

Thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters......

"Come on, come on, come on......"

Ye Qin and several coaches and other staff members around him, everyone stared at the track, and couldn't help but mutter.

Wen Yongyi accelerated well in Ye Qin's eyes, and his speed was quickly raised, which was not at all slow compared to the first Polish player around him.

"Okay, good first one!"

Ye Qin sighed in his heart, but his mood did not relax, and it was immediately a handover of one or two sticks.

In Ye Qin's field of vision, because of the angle and distance, he couldn't see the handover between Wen Yongyi and Zhang Pei Meng, the second stick, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Pei Meng rushing out of the straight, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.

Zhang Peimeng and Ye Qin are the same age, and the difference between the two is a few months, Zhang Peimeng's strength is not particularly strong, but he is better at a fast pace. Looking at the height of 1.85 meters, he is much thinner than Ye Qin, but his steps are light, and he has a certain advantage when he runs on the way.

Zhang Peimeng has reached the level of about 10.3 seconds in the 100 meters this year, and the 200 meters is also about 20.7 seconds, which is the fastest improvement among all the players.

At this time, Ye Qin could only roughly judge that Zhang Peimeng ran well and was not obviously left behind by other relay teams, but specifically, he could not clearly judge the number of Chinese teams.

The second and third sticks were handed over, and this stick was still far away, but when Yang Yao started, Ye Qin could feel that Yang Yao was fighting!

At this time, the audience at the scene was already able to see that the two fastest relay teams were running.

Brazil in lane 7 and Great Britain in lane 6 led the field with the two teams from outside the lane.

The relay strength of the Brazilian team has not been weak, and the British team is the champion of the 04 Olympic Games, and the two teams showed absolute strength in this game.

The Polish team was originally in third place, but after the handover of the second and third sticks, Yang Yao began to accelerate like crazy, and he caught up with the third stick of the Polish team at the corner.

Corners into straights, the last three or four baton handovers!

At this time, Ye Qin and several others in the stands were each lifted up in their hearts!

The handover of the first few sticks went smoothly, now it's time to see the last one!

When Gu Kai arrived at Yang Yao's calculated step point, the people had already begun to accelerate and sprint out. At the same time, the Polish team has also caught up at this time.

However, the handover of the baton between the two was obviously more tacit, and at this time, they grasped the crucial time and took the lead in completing the baton.

At this point on the straight, the runner in the first place was Brazil's fourth-best Sandro Viana, followed by Great Britain's fourth-man Mark Lewis Francis.

Gu Kai is in third place!

Seventy meters, fifty meters, thirty meters......

In the blink of an eye, the finish line is approaching!!

Rush the line!

In an instant, everyone in the stands shouted with excitement!

The first team in the group, Brazil, with a time of 38.27 seconds; second in the group, Team Great Britain, result, 38.33 seconds; The third place in the group, the Chinese team, with a score of 38.45 seconds!

Third!

3rd in the group!

According to the promotion rules of the relay race, the top three teams in the two preliminary groups will advance directly, and then the two with the best results will advance directly!

Ye Qin saw Gu Kai cross the finish line in third place, and the whole person suddenly took a deep breath and turned his head to leave the stands.

The relay has qualified, so tomorrow he will be on the field with his teammates in the final!

For now, he needs to prepare for the men's 400m final, which will start in a moment!
