Chapter 76: Taking a Desperate Approach (Five Watches)

Under normal circumstances, when Kiprop suddenly accelerates, Zhang Guan, who is in front and behind, will definitely have no time to react, and there will be a gap between the two, and this gap will also give Berkensa a chance to cut the team.

But Kiprop didn't know that his little tricks had no effect in front of Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan's "follow and run" skill was completely based on Kiprop's rhythm, so when Kiprop accelerated, Zhang Guan would also accelerate immediately, and it could be said that there was no time break between each other, and there would be no gap in the distance.

When Kiprop accelerated for the first time, Zhang Guan also accelerated, so Berkensa had no chance at all. Kipropp then accelerated for the second time, and Zhang Guan still accelerated, and at this time, Zhang Guan and the players behind him appeared in a gap, and Berkensa found that there was no hope of cutting in front of Zhang Guan, so he had to cut behind Zhang Guan.

Of course, Kiprop didn't know what had just happened, and he still couldn't understand why Berkensa had run behind Zhang Guan, but by this time the race had entered the area of the second corner, and the athletes were about to start the phase of stalemate, no one would change positions in common sense, and Kiprop did not play any more tricks.

But Zhang Guan was a little puzzled, the Kenyan in front of him had been turning back frequently, and sometimes even Zhang Guan himself thought that something was going on behind him.

……

The second lap was relatively uneventful, with all the competitors in the same group. The speed of the frontrunners is always comparative, and even the weaker players can keep up with the pace of the race.

In fact, the players who are really poor have already been eliminated in the preliminary round, and by the semi-finals, the strength of the players has improved a lot, as long as it is not the kind of rushing leader, there will be no one who can't keep up with the rhythm in the second lap.

Positions on the field remained largely unchanged until the final lap bell rang and the athletes knew the final moments were approaching, and the acceleration began.

The first to fall behind was the American Manzano Lenno, who was a little unable to keep up with the pace when the other athletes began to accelerate and was gradually left behind, while Spain's Casado, who performed well in the preliminary round, was also a little unable to follow and followed a little reluctantly.

As the riders entered the penultimate straight, the stronger players took their speed up a notch, and at the final corner, some started to sprint.

At this time, the athletes gradually divided into three groups, including Zhang Guan, seven people were in the first group, and they were obviously trying to qualify for the finals; In addition, the weaker four players fell into the second group, including Algeria's Berkenza, which can be said to have no hope of qualifying, even the fastest people outside the top five will not be able to take their turn; And the American Lanno, who had just fallen behind, ran alone at the end.

The gap between the first group is not very large, although everyone is relatively fast at the moment, it is clear that they have not done their best to run, and all those who hope to qualify for the final are ready to leave their energy for the sprint on the final straight track.

Eventually, the lead group made it to the final straight track, and several riders began to accelerate almost simultaneously.

Kiprop was the favourite, and he was a bit faster than the others, but he came from behind and quickly overtook the rest of the crowd before moving into second place.

The reason why it is second is because in addition to him, Zhang Guan is also initiating transcendence. Zhang Guan was faster, and he not only surpassed the others, but also Kiprop.

"I was surpassed by Zhang Guan! Hell, the final sprint of the 1500m can be run so fast? If he hadn't been following me, I would have even thought he had joined the game halfway through. Kiprop watched Zhang Guan catch up with him from the outside road, and then completed the overtake, but there was no way, his speed was really not as fast as Zhang Guan.

At this time, the audience at the scene gave Zhang Guan the warmest cheering sound, and the pronunciation of Chinese cheering sounded really depressed in Kiprop, but Kiprop felt that this was extremely harsh.

Zhang Guan was in front, and Kiprop could no longer see Zhang Guan's side, all he could see was Zhang Guan's back.

Kiprop knew that he had lost, and he was unwilling and confused, but more than that, he was ashamed.

A few days ago in the preliminaries, Kiprop was still laughing at others for not being Zhang Guan's opponent, and today, he himself was defeated by Zhang Guan!

……

"Zhang Guan, it's over! First, the advantage is huge! It's time to cross the line! Congratulations to Zhang Guan! We congratulate Zhang Guan for advancing to the final of the men's 1500m as the group leader! The commentator looked at the information in his hand, and then said: "The men's 1500m final will be held on August 19, that is, the day after tomorrow, and we also expect Zhang Guan to have a better performance in the final, winning a medal or even a gold medal!" ”

The crowd was still cheering and applauding, and the athletes who had advanced to the finals were celebrating.

Ramz felt the pressure, Zhang Guan successfully advanced to the final, and also showed good form, especially the two sudden speed-ups of Kiprop in the game, which could not open the gap with Zhang Guan, which made Ramz feel a heavy burden.

Zhang Guan's final sprint was still extremely fast, and he didn't want to be the sprint speed of 1500 meters at all, which made Ramz involuntarily recall the Asian Games two years ago and recall his own defeat.

Ramz suddenly became worried, feeling that he would most likely lose to Zhang Guan in the final and lose the Olympic title he had always dreamed of.

Ramz had a hesitant look on his face, as if he was making a difficult decision, and he looked at Zhang Guan, who was celebrating at the finish line, gritted his teeth fiercely, and finally made up his mind. Ramz then quietly walked over to his coach.

The previous head coach of the Bahrain team was the well-known American coach Virgil, but since the Bahrain team failed to win the championship in the Asian Games, Coach Virgil voluntarily resigned and left, and continued to return to the United States to live his retirement. So the Bahrain team hired another head coach with a high salary, and the new head coach is also an American.

Ramz said, "Coach, I want to increase the amount of 'that'. ”

"Shut up!" The coach whispered, "Are you crazy?" Say this kind of thing here! If someone else hears it, we're doomed. ”

"Now the whole audience is cheering, such a loud voice, no one will hear it. Besides, everyone's eyes are focused on Zhang Guan, and no one cares about us. Ramz almost leaned into the coach's ear and said in a low voice: "Zhang Guan seems to have returned to his peak form, just like he did at the Asian Games two years ago." I'm afraid I'm no match for him the day after tomorrow, so I'll have to find some other way to win. ”

"That's not good, your current dosage is already large enough, I'm worried that you will be found out." The coach spoke.

"Didn't we entrust a professional organization in the United States to conduct a test before, and the results are normal, and I don't think the drug test for the Olympics may be able to detect it." Ramzi continued: "Bahrain has never won an Olympic title, if I can win at the Olympics we will have everything, and if I don't win it, all our previous efforts will be in vain!" At this point, we have to take a gamble! ”
