Chapter 218: 100-meter rematch
The athletes who then competed in the second group finished their warm-up and stood behind the starting line.
The strongest player in this group is undoubtedly the world record holder, Usain. Usain Bolt, who stood on the playing field, couldn't be more recognizable because of his outstanding physical ability and height ahead of everyone.
In addition, his leisurely and optimistic nature when he competed was also very pleasing, and after only one competition, the Chinese audience liked him a little.
When the stadium commentator introduced him, he winked playfully at the audience. The audience on the field could not see this move directly, but the camera captured this moment, and after the audience saw it, they naturally gave him more applause than the other team members.
"This guy is very good at interacting with the audience!"
Father Lu took a sip of tea with great interest, and then stared intently at the TV screen. Over the years, every time he watched a game reach a critical moment, he would unconsciously take a sip of tea as a way to relieve tension.
At the start of the second group, the tall Bolt looked a little more aggressive than he had been in the preliminaries, and he didn't start as lazy as he had been on the previous shot.
After the other team members held on to him for a while, they were all left behind by him.
By the time the race was about 80 meters away, his lead was quite clear. After seeing that he was leading enough to top the group, Bolt started to get naughty again.
He looked left and right, then took a big stride and began to wave to the audience before the finish line.
Accustomed to serious competitive games, Bolt is definitely a breath of fresh air in the eyes of the audience this time. Seeing him like this, the audience laughed and applauded.
"The results of this group competition came out, Jamaican world record holder Usain Bolt won the group, his time was 9.92 seconds, he was really good at this Olympics, he put about 10 meters in the last moment, and still ran into 10 seconds easily, as a track and field fan, I am looking forward to his performance in the subsequent competitions! At the same time, I also hope that Lu Wei, who will play later, can also play his best. ”
Seeing Bolt's relaxed and happy performance, the host Yang Li was also excited.
"This Bolt looks older than our Lu Wei, why don't you have any plastic shape at all!"
Lu's mother couldn't cry or laugh when she saw Bolt grimacing at the broadcast camera in the broadcast screen.
"Such athletes are masters, and large-scale competitions are supposed to be about the psychological quality and on-the-spot performance of athletes. This. This young man not only has good physical ability, but also has a good mentality, and it may not be easy to expect him to collapse, what his training level is basically like, and the results of the game will be what he will be. ”
Seeing Dad Lu praising his opponent so much in the competition with Lu Wei, Mother Lu also pouted: "No matter what their strength is, I would like to see Lu Wei get good results!" ”
The runner-up in this group was American Davis. Paton, who clocked 10.04 seconds, and Portuguese planner Obiqueviru finished third in his group with a time of 10.09 seconds.
When the third group appeared on the TV screen, the audience immediately erupted in high-decibel cheers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't need me to introduce you, you should be able to guess that Lu Wei has already played, he is on the 5th track in this game, and the main competitors in the same group are Trinidad and Tobago player Mark Brown. Burns, St. Kitts and Nevis veteran Kim. Collins, Great Britain's Edgar, and Qatar's Samel. Francis also ran 10 seconds this year. ”
The host quickly introduced the athletes who appeared on the broadcast screen, and the group also included Japanese veteran Nobuharu Asahara, but in everyone's eyes, his competitiveness was still obviously insufficient, and this game should be the end of his athlete's individual competition.
"Looking at the last group of Usain Bolt's running storm, in fact, there are no strong opponents in the group, at least 5 players in this group have the hope of qualifying, our two groups of Lu Wei are not easy to compare!"
The rest of the group didn't feel as cramped as the previous group faced Usain Bolt. In the broadcast screen, several team members are obviously full of confidence, they are all holding their chests up, and they look like they are not afraid of heaven and earth.
On the track, the referee had already given the order to prepare, and after all the athletes had their knees off the ground and their balance had been stabilized, the referee fired his starting gun.
After this shot was fired, Lu Wei still poked his head out first, and after this period of training, his starting state was obviously much better than the previous race. With a height of nearly 2 meters, he did not quickly raise his center of gravity at the start, but put the direction of his force in front of him.
"Okay, Lu Wei's start is too beautiful!"
Jiang Jianjun, who was standing in the stands, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this technical link is very difficult, and the small steel cannon type players practice this technique, and it is not possible for all the top players to use most of their energy for lateral acceleration when they start.
The biggest difference between Lu Wei's starting action and the previous one is this, the previous race often ran two steps first, but because the center of gravity rose too fast, he lost a lot of speed in the moment he got up.
After Lu Wei started this time, the team members around him did not surpass him quickly, but the gold in the 4th track. Collins and Mark of the 6th Runway. Burns didn't put him ahead too much, with the three men almost on the same level.
Great Britain player Edgar and Samel Ander. Francis also clings to the three people in front of him.
Such a scene made the audience look excited, and almost all the audience began to scream and cheer.
The five were still partially evenly matched, and it was the most competitive race since the start of the race, and after the race entered the 50 meters, the race was replaced by Nobuhara and German athlete Tobias. Engel fell behind first and lost his qualification for the promotion.
Then there is the back-up area that Lu Wei is good at, at this stage his speed is close to the peak, and the gap with other team members has begun to slowly widen.
Wang Qiao didn't even dare to blink his eyes at this time, he was afraid that he didn't pay attention to a detail of the game, and when he came to his senses, Lu Wei was caught up by others, and even overtaken.
There have been too many of these situations in previous games. When everyone felt that hope was in front of them, the Chinese sprinters suddenly collapsed like a cliff, so that everyone could only sigh.
However, today Wang Qiao firmly believes that Lu Wei will not disappoint everyone, this is just his tendency to be in charge, and it is also a recognition of the strength of Lu Wei in the team since they got along for more than a year.
At any given time, he never let a game crash because of a mental problem. On the contrary, the stronger the opponent, the more tenacious his character is, and the better his results.
In the last 20 meters, Lu Wei's ability to maintain speed was obviously stronger than other opponents in the group, and his long legs and cadence that was not inferior to other team members made his advantage suddenly highlighted.
It can be felt that the team members behind him have no way to surpass anymore, and when he crossed the finish line, Lu Wei simply did not nod his head to press the line, but just ran through the finish line with his chest.
Except for a few steps before the finish line and let his body run past the finish line with the previous inertia, this time Lu Wei had no time to slow down his speed at all, and almost went all out to complete the whole race.
"Beautiful! This kid is really tough, and he has carried it in the face of such a powerful impact! ”
Wang Qiao roared to himself, and it could be seen that Lu Wei had improved again compared to when he was in Osaka this year. At that time, when he started the race, he was overtaken by the other team members, and he knew that he had overtaken him in the last few tens of meters.
This time it was completely different, Lu Wei's quick reaction and skillful connection movements did not give other players a chance at all, and suppressed other opponents from beginning to end.
Especially this time the opponent is the best sprinter in the world, although there are no super-first-class opponents such as Bolt, Powell, and Guy in the group, but the strength of these opponents should not be underestimated.
This is a victory under hard power, and Lu Wei completely relied on his strength to crush his opponent.
"Our Lu Wei is so handsome! I don't know who has better grades than Bolt! ”
When Lu's mother spoke, she hadn't recovered from the excitement just now, and Lu Wei's victory obviously made her feel good.
"As long as it's not the finals, the results of other competitions can only be used as a reference, Bolt has a great advantage just now, and he ran 9.92 seconds in the ten meters of relaxation, which is already Lu Wei's best result, even if Lu Wei's results are faster, it doesn't mean that he is stronger than Bolt, the opponent is too far away, and the results are out!"
Just as Lu's father spoke, the TV screen showed the results of the third group in the 100m semi-finals, Lu Wei's score was 9.95 seconds, and the second place was Trinidad and Tobago's Mark. Burns, who clocked 10.05 seconds, was golden. Collins clocked 10.07 seconds, and the three team members qualified directly for the next round.
In addition to the three team members who qualified, the British team member Edgar also ran 10.10 seconds, and even Qatar's Samuel . Francis also ran a time of 10.11 seconds.
"Wow! The overall strength of this group is very fast, and even the Qatari runner who finished fifth in the group ran a time of 10.11 seconds, which can be placed in the first group and the first two groups can advance to the next round. Although the organizing committee has tried its best to balance the strength of each group when grouping, there is still a situation in this group, and the team members with 10.10 seconds are not sure to enter the semi-finals, and the time of 10.11 seconds is already doomed to not advance to the semi-finals.
I have to say that the level of the Olympics is indeed very high! ”
Compared with the previous groups, the results of this group are significantly higher, because the players with similar strength are together, so they have created good results together.
"Alas...... Our Lu Wei didn't run that Bolt so hard, why is he so good, is Lu Wei at this level able to rank in the finals? ”
Lu's mother couldn't help but worry a little about her son when she saw that Lu Wei was going all out, and his results were not as good as those of Jamaica who finished the race.
"You don't have to worry about this, even if your strength and skills are not as good as others, you can't change anything through a day or two of competition. Besides, it's not certain how many Lu Wei can run in the semi-finals, let's compete one game at a time, it's good to be able to enter the finals! ”
Lu's father's realistic answer obviously made Lu's mother not very satisfied, and when she was about to refute, Lu Wei appeared in the picture, so she completely forgot about the unhappiness just now: "Look, my son is being interviewed!" ”
Father Lu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't hold back just now, he violated the taboo of reasoning with his wife, and when he was worried in his heart, Lu Wei's interview screen appeared in the picture at the right time.
At the critical moment, it's better to be a son!
"Good evening, audience friends! I'm Xia Yuena, a sports reporter from CCTV, and I'm very happy to bring you the post-race interview with the athletes, so let's interview Lu Wei, who has just made the cut in the men's 100m semi-finals! ”
After greeting the audience, Xia Yuena turned to Lu Wei: "Lu Wei, congratulations on your successful promotion in the men's 100m semifinals, did you think before the game that you could get to this point?" ”
Lu Wei was already frowning after seeing him, he still remembered the scene of being poisoned by this reporter's question at the World Championships, it seems that this time he did his homework, or there is the crystallization of collective wisdom.
As soon as this question came out, Lu Wei's brows stretched, and he tried to squeeze out some smiles to face the camera.
"I've definitely thought about it! This is not a big deal, if you haven't even thought about winning the championship, then basically there will be no good results, even Shen Liang has thought about it, why don't I dare to think about it! ”
"Then let me ask you another question, the current world record holder Usain Bolt ran 9.92 seconds in an almost relaxed state today, which is the same as your best time, do you think you have a good chance of winning if you meet him?"
The level of these two questions has exceeded the prediction of the audience in front of the TV, and almost all of them have asked the audience about the cool points.
"There is no draw in the sprint race, either I win or he wins, of course I think the one who wins will be me, even if he wins in the end, I believe the victory will not come easily!"
I didn't expect Lu Wei's answer to be so tough, in everyone's impression, Huaxia players are generally more modest and cautious, and when encountering such a problem, it should mean that they still have shortcomings, and they should learn from their opponents, but they didn't expect Lu Wei to want to find a confrontation.
However, this answer worked very well, Xia Yuena's eyes lit up as soon as it was very revealing, he was completely conquered by Lu Wei's powerful aura.
"Wow! It's tough! And one last question, you just said that Shen Liang also thought about having better results, so in the next competition, do you think he can make it to the semi-finals? ”
After this question came out, the corners of Lu Wei's mouth turned up significantly: "I think the people of the whole country should pray for him together!" ”
