Chapter 58: 100-meter preliminaries
With a big lead, Xiao Ji asked to leave the court at halftime, and the track and field competition will start tomorrow, so he has to rest well. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Coach Fu Bo was also very aware of Xiao Ji's busyness, and the Athletics Association also specially sent someone to communicate with their Football Association, and approved it immediately.
After getting the consent of the head coach, Xiao Ji didn't even go back to the bench and went back to the hotel to rest.
He believes that his teammates will hold on to the victory, and if he leads by 5 goals, he will be reversed by a team like Indonesia, then there is no need for Xiao Ji to continue to lead the National Olympic team, he really can't lead it.
The players led by Liao Lisheng did not disappoint him, although the firepower decreased in the second half of the game, only 1 goal was scored, but they did not let the Indonesian team score, and kept a clean sheet against the opponent.
In the end, they ruthlessly slaughtered the Indonesian team 6-0 and advanced to the top 8.
On the evening of the 27th, the track and field drama of this Asian Games kicked off.
Xiao Ji only played half a game and rested for nearly a day, and he has already recovered and is in good shape in all aspects.
At 6 o'clock, the 100-meter preliminaries began.
Xiao Ji was placed in Group 4.
Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian, who played first, have easily advanced to the semifinals.
Xiao Ji's biggest opponent in the group is the Qatari teenager Femi, who won the men's 200m and 400m at the last Asian Games and just ran 10.04 seconds in the Intercontinental Cup? Ogunod.
Xiao Ji was in the third lane, only one way away from him.
Because it was the first shot, in addition to listening to the gun and having some reservations, Xiao Ji did his best to start the acceleration.
From 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters to 50 meters, Xiao Ji was surprised to find that he did not throw off all his opponents, and there was always a person on his right who followed closely.
As everyone knows, Ogunod was even more surprised at this time.
No one else knows where he is at the moment, but he and his coach know very well that he is at the top of his game.
The 10.04 in the Intercontinental Cup is actually a relatively average result, and he has run under 10 seconds in training on several occasions, which is much better than his fellow Nieria countryman and Asian record holder Francis.
Qatar's sprint coaching staff also saw Francis as a gold medalist, allowing Francis to attract the attention of other competitors in the open, while he took the opportunity to explode in the shadows and catch his opponent off guard.
Sacrificing an Asian record holder to fulfill him shows how much the coaching staff values him and how good he is.
Xiao Ji was a little hesitant at the moment, there was no problem with the promotion, and the other players were a cut behind the two of them, but it was a question of whether to let them go.
He is not a particularly competitive person, according to his ideas, it would be good if he could advance to the preliminaries, there is no need to fight to the death, the final is the real battlefield, but the opponent is a Qatari, and he will lose the preliminaries, which may disappoint the Chinese people.
Just when Xiao Ji was still hesitating, Ogunod made a decision first, and he began to let go.
Francis sacrificed himself to help him cover, he couldn't live up to the friendship of his fellow countrymen, and if he ran with all his might, he might run into 10 seconds, and it was impossible to keep a low profile at that time.
Since the opponent has released it first, Xiao Ji doesn't have to worry about it, just let it go.
The two crossed the line as the first and second in the group respectively and advanced together.
With a score of 10.14 and 10.20, they were already in the top two of all the players in the preliminaries.
The 100-meter preliminaries were all over, and all three players of the Chinese team advanced, and the results were also very good.
A little more than an hour later, at the 400-meter starting point.
It is very coincidental that Xiao Ji and Ogunod are in the same group again, and they are also across the road.
The 100m and 200m runners are quite common, the 200m and 400m are already very rare, all 3 sprint events, and the 100m, 200m and 400m runners are rare, and even fewer reach the high level, and these two are exactly that.
Ogunod was the 200m and 400m champions at the last Asian Games and will definitely be aiming to defend his title.
Xiao Jize showed super speed endurance ability in a chance test, and he certainly couldn't waste this ability, and also participated in the 200m and 400m races.
The two who have already run a shot together have a very tacit understanding, Ogunod adheres to the tactics of Taoguang Yanghui, even if it is 400 meters, he still takes the lead in receiving, and Xiao Ji also responded immediately and began to retract.
As in the 100m, Xiao Ji and Ogunod once again reached the semi-finals with first and second place in their group.
After this shot, Xiao Ji will not play tonight, and he must make good use of this precious night.
Because tomorrow's game is going to be extremely hard.
First up is 10:30 a.m., with the 400-meter semi-finals.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, he will return to the national Olympic team to face the quarter-finals against the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE is not easy to deal with, relying on the oil in the ground, they have quickly amassed a huge fortune, and the world-famous Dubai is one of their subordinate emirates.
Arabs brandished checkbooks, attracting a large number of black African uncles.
All national teams in the UAE have naturalized athletes, and this U23 team is no exception.
With the excellent young people from the local area and the mercenaries from Africa, this team is not easy to deal with, this is a tough battle, and Xiao Ji can't be absent no matter what.
After playing this football game, Xiao Ji only had a few hours to rest.
The night game of athletics is about to begin.
If Xiao Ji advances to the finals, this is actually basically inevitable, he will have to run three consecutive gun races, two 100 meters, one 400 meters, two of which are finals.
Nightmare schedule!
This is not something that people can complete at all, except for the 100 meters, 400 meters and football games are super hard races, and a competition is basically wasted, and there is no possibility of continuous fighting.
The Association of Athletics and the Football Association have repeatedly discussed with the organizing committee of the Incheon Asian Games on the issue of the schedule, but nothing has come to fruition.
Xiao Ji is not Korean, so the organizing committee didn't bother to care about him and resolutely refused.
If it is as bad as it was for a while, you can imagine the quality and morality of the sticks in the 2002 World Cup, and they may collide with the time of the football game and the track and field competition, leaving you with no skills.
Xiao Ji's physical fitness was originally very poor, and the system didn't have bug props like physical strength potions, so he knew that he would definitely not be able to persevere.
If you force all of them to participate, there is a high chance that the 3rd line will collapse.
After some reflection and discussion with the coaching staff, Xiao Ji decided to give up the 400-meter race.
These three projects, which is more important and which is more important, is still very clear.
