Chapter 41—King of East Asia (3)
Of course, things were not as simple as Lee Hsien Feng imagined, and under the crazy cheers of the crowd at Osaka's home stadium, Takahashi Komatsu played almost perfectly, winning the first place in the group with 10.19 seconds and Lee Hsien Feng's 10.25 seconds, which was also the first in the six preliminaries.
"Is this Takahashi bloody? Why did you run so fast. Looking at Takahashi Komatsu who was celebrating on the sidelines, Li Xianfeng put his hands on his waist in a depressed manner, in the past, he broke out to surprise others, but now it was his turn, Li Xianfeng felt a trace of helplessness.
"Xianfeng, you ran well, and you ranked third overall." Coach Yuan didn't feel sorry for it, Li Xianfeng had the best result among the six players in Huaguo, of course, this was also related to Liu Haijian's failure to play his best.
As Li Xianfeng's direct coach Yuan Cheng is in a good mood, but as the head coach Liu Bin is in a big unhappy mood, although the six Huaguo players who went out this time have entered the semi-finals, but in addition to Li Xianfeng and Liu Haijian's results can enter the finals stably, others including Zhang Bang are on the verge of elimination.
"It seems that the Huaguo team is not worried except for this Li Xianfeng and Liu Haijian, Coach Guangtian, how do you think the grouping of the semifinals should be arranged?" Officials from the Toei Athletics Association asked Coach Hirota's opinion with the list of 16 people who had been promoted.
"Although this Liu Haijian only ran 10 seconds 30 seconds in the preliminaries, he still has some strength as the first person in China, and there should be no problem in advancing to the finals, but this Li Xianfeng is a young man's performance will definitely have ups and downs, and he will be divided into Group B and Tsukahara Naoki, Uemura Shito, Akita Ichigo, and Koizumi Inu 2 Group, I don't believe that he can advance to the finals under the attack of our four Dongying players!"
"Understood, Coach Hirota."
There are still two days after the 100-meter preliminaries to the semi-finals and finals, and the players of the Huaguo team are not idle, in addition to adjusting their state, relay training has become the main topic for everyone in the past two days.
"Lao Liu, the cooperation of our relay team is very tacit!" Yuan Cheng looked at this relay team that had only been training together for half a year, and he was sincerely happy for Liu Bin.
"Yes, it's just that your Li Xianfeng is not very happy." Liu Bin opened his mouth, Yuan Cheng followed the direction of his mouth, and saw Li Xianfeng who was standing on the sidelines with a resentful face, Yuan Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xianfeng is still too young, let him practice 100 meters first." ”
The reason why Li Xianfeng, who was standing on the sidelines, was resentful, in addition to the fact that he couldn't go on the field to relay, was more because the relay training occupied the venue, and the stingy Dongyingguo only gave the Huaguo team three hours of training time every afternoon, and the first two hours had to practice the relay, and Li Xianfeng could only be on the sidelines, jogging to warm up.
"Your name is Li Xianfeng, I'm Hu Kai." Hu Kai, who was also warming up on the side, suddenly appeared next to Li Xianfeng and said hello to him.
"Oh." Li Xianfeng replied very coldly.
"What's going on with this guy?" Hu Kai frowned slightly, not understanding why Li Xianfeng showed a faint hostility towards him, but his good self-cultivation still made him invite him and said, "It's a warm-up anyway, why don't we join us." ”
"Oh?" Li Xianfeng became interested, "I like to fight in the warm-up, how about it, are you interested in having one?" ”
In fact, Hu Kai just felt that Li Xianfeng was young and easier to contact, and wanted to invite Li Xianfeng to do a simple warm-up exercise together, to get closer to the relationship, and save him from not even having anyone to talk to in the national team, but he didn't expect Li Xianfeng to propose a slightly provocative actual combat training.
"Okay, no problem, I'm happy to accompany you." In the face of challenges, Hu Kai, as a top student of Huaqing, will certainly not refuse, and such a practical competition can make others recognize their strength.
"Coach Yuan is here to be a referee for us." Since it is actual combat training, the referee is naturally indispensable, and Coach Yuan also knew that Li Xianfeng had no malicious intentions, so he agreed with a smile, and everyone who had just finished running a relay also used the rest time to gather at the starting point of 100 meters, ready to watch the duel between Li Xianfeng and Hu Kai.
"It's a pity that this competition is not on the campus of Huaqing or Beijing University." Li Xianfeng has remembered the loss of that game since Hu Kai entered the team, and now that he has the opportunity to come back, Li Xianfeng will certainly not let it go, and this time Li Xianfeng intends to rely on his own strength, rather than relying on skills to cheat.
"So many people watch, just right! Let everyone see my strength! Hu Kai also held back his strength and wanted to prove in front of everyone that he was not a simple Huaqing Sports special enrollment.
"I'll be the referee." Liu Bin took the flare gun from Yuan Cheng's hand and came to be the referee himself, obviously he was also happy to see this young man's duel.
"Ready!" Two young people with goals in their hearts become distracted when they stand on the runway.
"Ready!"
"Bang!"
Liu Bin's gunshot rang out, and Li Xianfeng and Hu Kai started almost at the same time.
"Hu Kai's reaction is fast enough!" Li Xianfeng glanced at Hu Kai beside him with his spare eyes, Hu Kai's reaction speed was somewhat beyond Li Xianfeng's expectations, not only the reaction speed, but also the acceleration Hu Kai was also outstanding, and after 30 meters, he still bit Li Xianfeng's side tightly and was not pulled down.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the person who defeated me in his previous life, and it is not so easy to deal with." Li Xianfeng thought that the speed would increase here, although he did not use skills this time, but through years of familiarity with skills and continuous improvement of technology, Li Xianfeng slowly figured out how he could continue to accelerate without using skills, but of course the effect was not as obvious as using skills.
"Xianfeng has picked up speed!" Mid-to-late force has always been Li Xianfeng's forte, and Zhang Jiakai on the sidelines shouted excitedly.
Hu Kai, who was next to Li Xianfeng, was the most sympathetic, he still had spare strength in the first 30 meters, but he was taken aback by the frequency of Li Xianfeng's acceleration, and hurriedly used all his strength to avoid being pulled away, but even if he used all his strength, he was still pulled away by Li Xianfeng, who was getting faster and faster after 60 meters.
"It's a win." After 80 meters, Li Xianfeng's body also felt tired, and without using skills, he could not be in an accelerated state throughout the whole process unless he overdrew his physical fitness, so since he had the chance to win, there was no need to work hard.
So Hu Kai took advantage of Li Xianfeng's relaxation in the last 20 meters to recover the gap, and the final result was only 0.02 seconds behind Li Xianfeng.
"It's really terrifying!" Zhang Bang and Chen Haijian beside him sighed that Li Xianfeng's strength is perverted for all to see, but this Hu Kai who came out of nowhere actually ran to 10.33 seconds, and this is only a warm-up training result. This made Zhang Bang, who already felt a little powerless in his body, and didn't know whether to be happy for the country or feel sorry for himself.
"Yes, Leopard, this Olympics is probably the last chance for us veterans." Chen Haijian agreed.
"It's just Haijian, you can still impact the Olympics, but with my strength, I'm afraid this competition will be my last official 100-meter international competition." Zhang Bang didn't say this to his old friend Chen Haijian, but buried it in his heart.
