Chapter 95: Good luck Chinese boy

"In about half an hour, the men's 100-meter flyer will begin at this Olympic Games. I wonder what the two guests have for the final result of the competition? Host Ralph Dimo said with a smile.

Graeme Hunt also smiled: "There is no doubt that Usain Bolt, a Jamaican, is the strongest of the eight athletes competing in the final. I can't say nobody can beat him, but I don't really remember the last time Usain Bolt didn't win a big game. ”

After a slight pause, Graeme Hunter continued: "Obviously, I personally feel that Bolt has basically booked the title half an hour in advance. Two of his Jamaican compatriots, as well as three of our American friends, will be battling it out for the remaining two spots on the podium. Anyway, Graeme Hunter also made a very "gentlemanly" gesture with his right palm pointing at Derek Raymond. The meaning is obvious, "It's your turn".

Derek Raymond first smiled and nodded, then said: "Mr. Hunt, you seem to be very disoptimistic about our EU compatriot Kurandi Martina, and that young Chinese?" ”

Listening to Derek Raymond's words, Graeme Hunter shrugged his shoulders and said very "helplessly": "Derek, do you still think those two guys can make any waves in the final!?" ”

After saying that, Graeme Hunter secretly scolded Derek Raymond in his heart: "This damn nigger is still going against me at this time!" ”

Derek Raymond nodded before he spoke: "Although I personally agree with Mr. Hunter that Usain Bolt will win the championship. But ......" Derek Raymond deliberately stopped, and looked at Graeme Hunt not far away with a smile on his face.

After a few seconds, Derek Raymond finally said with a firm expression after Graeme Hunt asked impatiently, "What the hell do you want to say": "Since the end of the semi-finals, I have a strong premonition in my heart that even if Bolt is still the final champion today, he will have to go through a tough battle." And the guy who put our 'King of Sprints' in a bitter battle is probably the one you don't think much of, Mr. Hunt, young Chinese boy......"

――――――

The reason why Derek Raymond said that the wind will make "Bolt fall into a hard fight" may also include the factor of "going against Graeme Hunt", but it is more from the intuition of being a good sprinter.

Although it is very clear that Bolt did not give his all in the semi-finals, Derek Raymond has not seen such an embarrassing situation in a major event for too long.

In the eyes of the vast majority of onlookers, the reason why Bolt fell into a hard battle in the semi-finals was mainly because he did not try his best at the beginning, coupled with Feng Quan's "gambling" 60-meter early sprint running style, which briefly disrupted Bolt's rhythm. And once in the final final, Bolt will do his best, then Feng Quan will not have the slightest chance to take advantage of it. What's more, Feng Quan's "early sprint" running style can't support him to finish the race at all.

At first, Derek Raymond held the same opinion.

However, when the BBC showed footage of the 100m semi-finals for the second time during a break in the race, Derek Raymond noticed a small detail that was not easily noticed.

When Bolt did his best in the final stage of the second group of the semi-finals and overtook Feng Quan before the finish line, the photographer at the race site captured a close-up of Bolt and Feng Quan's faces at the same time.

At this time, Bolt's facial expression seemed to be a little "hideous". Obviously, as the "king of sprinting", he was burdened with the fate of "can't fail", and Feng Quan's strong performance in the race put Bolt's body and mind under great pressure.

But Feng Quan was the opposite, he was overtaken by Bolt at the last moment, not only did he not have the slightest unwillingness on his face, but he could still see a faint smile.

Of course, the "faint smile" on Feng Quan's face can be understood as the bitterness of ordinary people after failing to challenge the dignity of the king; It can also be understood as a relief after "I lost, but I did my best".

But years of competition experience have taught Derek Raymond that behind this "faint smile" of Fengquan, it is by no means so simple. In his opinion, Fengquan's "physical exhaustion" at the last moment is likely to be just an "illusion".

Any sprinter knows very well that when competing against an opponent who does not have a lot of difference in strength, the distance of six or seven meters before the finish line is often the difference between winning and losing the game. And if you want to keep the suspense of victory and defeat until the end, you must choose a distance that is enough to maintain your extreme speed as your sprint point.

Therefore, as a top master who can enter the 100-meter final of the Olympic Games, Feng Quan should at least have "normal thinking".

Although there is a possibility that Feng Quan will risk his own sprint point forward in order to disrupt the rhythm of his competitors. However, after careful analysis, Derek Raymond finally ruled out this possibility.

In the first round of the men's 100m, Feng Quan used the "early sprint tactic" after 50 meters and ran a full 10-second time. However, he was the same as in the semi-finals, and it was only in the final five or six meters that he was "physically exhausted". In other words, in the first round of the competition, Feng Quan maintained his extreme speed at a distance of about 45 meters while his body was in a state of "sprinting"; In the semi-finals, the distance was only about 35 meters.

Not only that, but by watching the game footage repeatedly, Derek Raymond also discovered an interesting thing.

That is, after Feng Quan was in the first round of the race, after the "physical exhaustion", he looked like he was driving a high-performance sports car, and after pushing the speed of the sports car to the highest point, there was a sudden unexpected situation in front of him, forcing him to step on the brakes heavily in order to make the sports car stop as soon as possible.

In the semi-finals, after Feng Quan's "physical exhaustion", it looked more like the driver slowly stepped on the brakes when he was close to his destination.

From this, Derek Raymond came to the conclusion that the speed endurance of the wind is very strong, even so strong that it exceeds that of the vast majority of black athletes. Therefore, while maintaining extreme speed, he is likely to sprint more than 40 meters. The reason why Feng Quan "slammed on the brakes" in the first round must be the result of his deliberate preservation of strength.

And Feng Quan's "lack of physical strength" in the semifinals was also considered by Derek Raymond to be a performance of preserving strength. Although Derek Raymond recognized Feng Quan's strength very much, Feng Quan was unable to break through his time to 9.80 seconds after all.

Therefore, if Feng Quan wants to fight for a medal in the final, he can only "cut corners" after showing weakness like other competitors in the hope of being looked down upon by others.

Thinking of this, Derek Raymond himself couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, this 'cunning' Chinese, I hope you can have good luck in the final."

"Yawn!" At this time, Feng Quan, who was far away in the London Olympic Stadium, suddenly sneezed.

"Which bastard is speaking ill of me......" (To be continued.) )
