In the preliminaries of the 4x100m relay, Liang Jinhui repaid the coaching staff's support and trust in him with his outstanding performance.

Since Xie Zhenye, who is in charge of the third baseman, is participating in an international competition such as the World Championships for the first time, it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous in the competition.

After the first two baseball games, although the Chinese team has never been able to pose a real threat to the leading Jamaican team, the second position is relatively solid. When Zheng Peimeng, who was in charge of the second base, and Xie Zhenye completed the handover, the Chinese team had opened a gap of nearly 3 meters with the "Little Japan" in third place.

However, a top four finish in the 4x100m relay will ensure a place in the final. However, due to historical reasons, the opponent that Chinese are most reluctant to lose in any game is probably Little Japan.

And it is precisely because of the psychology of "never lose to little Japan" that Xie Zhenye, who made his debut on the international stage, failed to maintain a relatively stable mentality during the competition, resulting in some problems in the control of the running rhythm.

Seeing that Sun Bingtian and Zheng Peimeng were both in the previous competition, after defeating their respective Japanese opponents, Xie Zhenye, who was unwilling to drag his teammates back, also wanted to continue to expand the lead of the Chinese team like the two big brothers. Unfortunately, his opponent, Japanese veteran Shinji Takahira, was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Don't look at the recent Takahira Shenshi has passed his prime, but the little Japan, who also focuses on the 200-meter event, is slightly better than Xie Zhenye in terms of cornering technology. At this moment, if the two compete in the 200-meter event, Xie Zhenye, who has an advantage in age, will have at least 70% of the chance of winning. But if the two face off in a corner, Takahira Shenshi will have at least a 60% chance of winning.

Therefore, when Xie Zhenye failed to continue to expand his lead in the first 40 meters, but was gradually recovered by Gao Ping Shenshi, in order not to drag his teammates back, Xie Zhenye "opened" the sprint mode after entering the 50-meter stage. According to the pre-race deployment directed by Long, Xie Zhenye can only "open" the sprint mode after entering the 60-meter stage at least.

Due to Xie Zhenye's premature "opening" of the sprint mode, he was unable to do so in the last ten meters.

In the end, Xie Zhenye not only failed to maintain the advantage accumulated in the first two rods, but was also overtaken by Gao Ping Shenshi, who was more skilled in cornering skills, by nearly 2 meters.

Although Xie Zhenye's overall performance was a little unsatisfactory, fortunately, the baton between him and Liang Jinhui was relatively smooth, and he finally retained the hope of "Jedi counterattack" for Liang Jinhui.

After experiencing the setbacks of the London Olympics, Liang Jinhui will not interfere with his mentality because of the ups and downs of the competition situation in any competition.

Therefore, although he had to face the situation of backward "little Japan" as soon as he came up, Liang Jinhui not only did not panic in the slightest because of backwardness, but instead ignited a fire in his heart of "killing little Japan and promoting the prestige of China".

Although Liang Jinhui at this moment is also in his mind, like Xie Zhenye, the voice of "must not lose to Little Japan" is constantly echoing. But a little different from Xie Zhenye, this voice not only did not have the slightest negative impact on Liang Jinhui, but made him feel that he was full of strength.

When there were still 30 meters left before the finish line, Liang Jinhui, who was running wildly to catch up, finally erased the gap between the Chinese and Japanese teams, and formed a parallel trend with Shota Iizuka.

After another 10 meters, Liang Jinhui, whose morale was greatly boosted, overtook Shota Iizuka by one position.

With the last 5 meters to go, there was already a gap of 2 meters between Liang Jinhui and Shota Iizuka......

…………

At the moment when Liang Jinhui erased the gap between the two teams of China and Japan, Feng Quan, who had been nervously following the game, could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart, and jumped up from his seat.

Immediately afterwards, when Liang Jinhui successfully overtook Shota Iizuka and continued to expand his lead as the game progressed, Feng Quan, who was standing still, had unconsciously clenched his fists, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In the end, when Liang Jinhui helped the Chinese team successfully defeat Little Japan and successfully advance to the finals, Feng Quan, who was standing in the stands, continued to wave his fists and celebrate wildly as if he was the one who had just played the game.

If Feng Quan didn't sit in the exclusive area of the Chinese track and field team, I'm afraid his actions would probably attract complaints and even abuse from other spectators.

"Oh, it's not you who is participating in the competition, what are you doing!?" Wang Sinan, who was sitting next to Feng Quan, complained.

"Haha, although I didn't participate in the preliminary round this morning, I still have to play in the final in the evening. So, of course I'm glad they did so well. Feng Quan said excitedly.

Hearing this, Wang Sinan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then leaned into Feng Quan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "A few days ago, you were still in the relay team, and the overall strength of the relay team was not good, so you couldn't see the hope of winning the championship, and you wanted to find a reason to refuse to participate." But now you say you want to go to the finals, and you're so motivated? ”

"Hehe, Brother Sun and Brother Zheng at that time had never reached the semifinals in a world-class competition."

After a slight pause, Feng Quan continued: "And now, if it weren't for those Russian woolly bears deliberately manipulating us, the two of them would even have a chance to participate in the final of the 100m event with me." Especially when I haven't played yet, it's even more pleasing that they were able to turn around and beat Little Japan when one of the players was not playing well. ”

"Che, even if you play in the final, I'm afraid you won't win the championship like last year's London Olympics." Wang Sinan pouted.

“NO，NO，NO。 It's true that we weren't the Jamaicans last year, but that doesn't mean we have to lose to them now. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Quan first looked around, and found that he did not deliberately "eavesdrop" on the content of their conversation, so he leaned into Wang Sinan's ear and whispered: "I'll tell you a secret, you must not tell it." As long as it's a teammate I'm teaming up with, I can improve his time by at least 0.1 seconds, so we still have a good chance of beating Jamaica in the final in the evening. ”

"Cut, the devil believes you." Wang Sinan said with disdain on his face.

Hearing this, Feng Quan didn't refute it, just smiled and said, "When you finish watching the finals at night, you'll know that I didn't lie to you." ”

Although Wang Sinan has never "admitted" that he is Feng Quan's girlfriend, in the eyes of others, the "love relationship" between the two of them has long become an indisputable fact. And the scene of the two "intimate whispering" at this moment confirmed the "guesses" of their teammates.

In fact, because the Russian organizing committee does not have enough money for the competition, they require all athletes who have completed the competition tasks to complete the check-out procedure within 24 hours. Otherwise, the Russian Organizing Committee will not pay for the "overtime" room for the athletes.

Therefore, in order to allow all members of the Chinese track and field team to participate in the closing ceremony, Feng Quan decided to pay for the extra accommodation of those teammates who completed the competition out of his own pocket. Moreover, Feng Quan is also willing to pay for the cost of 200 euros per person per day for his teammates.

Although Feng Quan did not say it explicitly, these teammates who completed the task of the game knew very well that the reason why they were able to continue to stay in Moscow was completely stained with Wang Sinan's light.

At the beginning, when Wang Sinan learned that Feng Quan was going to pay for the accommodation expenses for her and other athletes who had been "forced" by the Russian organizing committee to return to China after completing the competition, she also raised objections.

After all, if all is calculated, Fengquan's cost is at least three or four hundred thousand euros. Even if Fengquan's annual income has exceeded 10 million euros now, Wang Sinan still feels a little "painful" for him. However, she was relieved when she learned that Feng Quan had already made seven or eight million dollars in this World Championships just through sports betting.

Although the 4x100m relay preliminaries (B) were not over yet, Feng Quan was ready to return to the hotel to rest (sleep) in order to prepare for the final in the evening.

Seeing that Feng Quan was about to leave, Wang Sinan asked, "You didn't watch the game in Group B?" ”

"I only care about my teammates, and it doesn't matter to me how other people are doing." Feng Quan shrugged his shoulders and said. "I'll go back first, you can continue to watch."

With that, Feng Quan walked in the direction of the exit of the stands.

After coming to the parking lot and getting into his car, Feng Quan took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Zhilin.

Feng Quan: "Hey, Brother Zhou, can you help me check what the odds of the Chinese team winning the 4x100m relay event are?" ”

"You wait a minute, I'll check it out now."

After about two minutes, Zhou Zhilin continued: "I roughly calculated that the odds offered by the largest bookmakers in Europe for the Chinese team to win the championship are basically hovering between 15 to 18 to 1. ”

"I'll go, the odds of the Chinese team winning the championship are still so high!"

After hearing the sound of the wind being full of excitement, Zhou Zhilin suddenly had a "ominous" premonition.

"Daquan, don't tell me, you want to buy the Chinese team to win the championship now?"

Hearing this, Feng Quan immediately laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, you guessed right. Just like yesterday, you pick 10 of the biggest bookmakers and bet with the highest limits. ”

"You want to buy the Chinese team to win the championship!?"

"Of course I bought the Chinese team, do you think I will buy the Jamaican team to win."

"Hey, Daquan, I know you're not bad at money, but isn't that the same as giving money to a bookmaker for nothing? Rather than wasting it in vain, it is better to donate it to the Hope Project in China. Zhou Zhilin looked distressed.

"Project Hope? I think it's better to forget it. Even if I am willing to respond to the call of the country, I have to learn from our government and go to the black buddies in Africa to sponsor out-of-school children first. After a pause, Feng Quan continued: "Okay, Brother Zhou, you can do what I say." Even if I folded this time, I would have won enough money before. ”

…………

At 5 p.m., five members of China's 4x100m relay team arrived at the outfield of the Luzhniki Stadium to warm up for the final that will take place in just over an hour.

Although long before arriving in Moscow, Director Yuan, who was in charge of the training of the relay team, had informed Liang Jinhui in advance that he would participate in the World Championships as a "substitute". Unless the "Regular Selection" has an injury or is not in good form, he may be given the opportunity to play.

However, Liang Jinhui did not show any dissatisfaction because the team arranged for him to be a "substitute", but also thanked the leader for not "giving up" because of his mistakes in the London Olympics.

Therefore, even though he knew that he was likely not to get the opportunity to play in this trip to the World Championships, Liang Jinhui still relaxed in his usual training, but often continued to practice alone after completing the training tasks assigned by the coach.

As the saying goes, "there is justice in the world, and there will be rewards for hard work", even when Feng Quan "refused" to participate, Liang Jinhui got the opportunity to play in the preliminaries.

However, it was precisely because of Liang Jinhui's hard training in the previous period of time that he impressed the coaches of the sprint group and won him a chance to prove his strength again. Moreover, Liang Jinhui, who played well in the preliminaries, became the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's reversal and defeat of Little Japan.

Although Liang Jinhui was not selected for the final selection list of the Chinese team, he still worked very seriously with his teammates to carefully implement every warm-up training arranged by Yuan Gui.

More than half an hour later, after completing all the warm-up items, Feng Quan and the others left the outfield for the warm-up of the contestants and headed in the direction of the athletes' lounge. Since the Luzhniki Stadium has reserved a "VIP" lounge for Feng Quan, the five members of the 4 x 100 meter relay team, as well as Yuan Gui, who is in charge of the relay team's training, followed Feng Quan to his exclusive lounge.

Although after the preliminaries of the 4x100m relay, Sun Bingtian and Zheng Peimeng, the two big brothers in the team, comforted and encouraged Xie Zhenye, who did not play well in the morning, in time. However, the effect of the "ideological work" done by the two of them on Xie Zhenye was not very ideal.

It has been less than 10 minutes since Feng Quan and the others entered the "VIP" lounge, and Xie Zhenye, who has not yet come out of the shadow of poor performance in the morning, has already gone to the bathroom twice in a row.

After another 5 minutes, Xie Zhenye, who was sitting near the door of the lounge, got up again and said, "Uh...... I'll go to the bathroom again. ”

However, before Xie Zhenye could open the door, Feng Quan, who was sitting on the chair, teased: "Old Jie, did you eat bad stomach this afternoon, or did you drink too much water?" How long has it been since we came in, and this is the third time you've been to the bathroom, right? You're not too nervous, are you? ”
