Chapter 81: There is a lot of news on the mouth cannon
While waiting for the results on the sidelines, the Swede Wiesman walked up to Lu Wei, shook hands with him and made a helpless expression, and the French opponent in the same group also showed a very meaningful expression when he shook hands with Lu Wei.
What they mean Lu Wei understands is probably that the preliminaries have run out of energy, and watch the later games to see how you play.
In Lu Wei's eyes, what they are worried about is superfluous, as long as they run well, they must not be suppressed.
In the rest of the group, Varina was almost wind-up from the start of the race in Group 5, with the 400m almost always in a rhythm.
As in the usual matches, the other competitors thought they had a chance and either took the initiative to attack or retain their strength in the future. But no matter what way they go, the last 100 meters will be carried away by a wave of Varina.
In the last 100 meters, Varina's rhythm and speed are still not much different from the future, the speed of the other team members has dropped significantly, and the psychological damage caused by this speed difference to the opponent is very large, and when there are 20 meters left, Varina began to slow down slowly, and finally crossed the finish line with a smile on his face.
The electronic screen showed him a time of 45.1 seconds, which was too easy for him, 1.6 seconds slower than his final time, which in the sprint event represents a distance of almost 16 meters. It is not a loss to be a person with an undefeated aura in the 400-meter race, and he will be the first in the group casually.
Varina's biggest rival for the title was Merritt in Group 7, who was also running at full speed in the heats, and like Valina, he almost let his body go out of the last 10 meters and let his inertia carry him across the finish line.
In order to encourage countries with backward sports development, the organizing committee will also issue wild cards to the 400m preliminaries, with the intention of encouraging these countries to actively participate in track and field.
In the preliminaries, the Somali and Nicaraguan players did not run under 50 seconds, and they collapsed almost immediately after the start of the race. But after the game, they were very happy, and for them, playing with the stars in front of the TV is the greatest joy of sports.
After the game, the Japanese reporter interviewed the three members of the American team, and during the interview, the Japanese reporter all asked the same question: What do you think of Lu Wei, a player?
29-year-old Angelo. Taylor is an old fritter who has been engaged in track and field for more than ten years, and he laughed when the reporter asked this question: "Let me think about it, oh, I remember, it's that strong boy, he shouldn't be 25 years old this year, what?" Not yet 20 years old, so it seems that he has a lot of room to grow, you know, there are no shortcuts in sports, and what he can do in the future depends on how hard he works. The answer, of course, is 360 degrees without flaws.
Although Varina is not very old, he has entered another realm for the rest of the team, and he only makes objective evaluations according to reporters.
"Is it that young Chinese player? He ran well in the preliminaries, but it can be seen that this result is close to his limit. As a strong athlete, you shouldn't release your energy in the preliminaries. However, he is still young, and I believe that he will grow a lot in this area after participating in this competition, and I wish him a good result. ”
People from both realms play their own games, and Varina's comments on the performance of other players can basically be summed up in four words: just be happy.
If you ask him what he thinks of the future of this player, he will give you a textbook answer. Even if you try to get him to say the wrong thing, he will always come back to the official answer.
These two men left Japanese reporters at a loss, and they put their last hope on Rasean. Merritt, this brother's personality belongs to one point, and he will have a verbal fight with others when he has the opportunity.
Probably because he had just finished the race, when the reporter interviewed Merritt, he seemed very excited, and when he heard this question, he first asked a question: "Is this Huaxia Lu black?" ”
After learning that Lu Wei was of the yellow race, Merritt raised the flesh on his face, and then kept shaking his head: "Don't blame me for being too frank, the 400-meter race is not something that ordinary people can play, I have a little impression of him, he won the first place in the group in the preliminaries, but this doesn't mean anything."
He's already good in Asia, probably the top of the game, but in a competition like this, he's nothing, so I can only wish him a good time here, silver medal in shot put? Don't talk to me about this, do you want everyone to run 400 meters with the shot put, and the final throw counts as a result? ”
After saying this, Merritt swaggered away. But after walking a few steps, he turned back and asked with a wicked smile: "Help me see if he is in a group with me tomorrow, I want him to see what is the top level, what?" He's in a group with Taylor, and it's not interesting, this old thing will only beat him by 1 meter, and Chris. Brown! Oh, this young man is miserable, that old dog of Brown will bite all strangers, look at it, good luck to this child, it's miserable, haha! ”
After shaking his head and finishing, he didn't care about the reporter's reaction, turned around and left, obviously he had said that this interview was cool, and the purpose was achieved.
However, this information has already satisfied the Japanese journalist.
In addition to Lu Wei entering the men's 400m semifinals, in the women's hammer throw qualifying round of the Huaxia advantage event, Zhang Wenxiu easily entered the final of the day after tomorrow (30th).
In fact, Huaxia made a breakthrough early in the short span competition, and the women's 400m hurdles is also the dominant event of the Chinese track and field team, and Huang Xiaoxiao has been able to reach the finals of the competition for many years.
In the evening race, Huang Xiaoxiao reached the final with a personal best of 54 seconds, but in this era of 400m hurdles, he can only guarantee a top 5 finish in each race.
In the men's 200m preliminaries, there was a team member who made Director Jiang's eyes light up after he appeared, a big boy with a height of more than 1.95 meters in Jamaica, who was undoubtedly ahead of other opponents after the start.
"This kid was 18 years old in 2004 and had run 20 seconds in Bermuda! I don't know where he has gone all these years, I thought he was going to disappear, but today I finally see him again. If you look at his leg strength, it's clear that he hasn't had much formal training. When Director Jiang said it, it was like showing everyone the treasures in his collection.
Lu Wei looked over, the big man didn't seem to have much strength in his legs, but he felt good and smooth when he ran, and he didn't feel that he didn't use much force, and the other team members were left behind him.
In the end, he finished first in the preliminary group with a time of 20.12 seconds.
"What's his name?" Lu Wei asked.
"Usain. Usain Bolt, maybe he will become the natural enemy of American sprinting for the next 10 years! Director Jiang hugged his arms, looking too empty, looking at the Jamaican team member.
