Men's 100m semifinals.

The semi-finals are divided into three groups, with the top two teams in each group and the two fastest third-place finishers advancing to the tournament. Among the three players of the national team, Chen Jian played in the first group, Shen Storm played in the second group, and Zhang Guan was arranged in the third group.

This time, Zhang Guan met the black player Habebe, who was in the same group as Zhang Guan. But Habebe is not the strongest opponent in this group, because Japan's Nobuharu Asaha is also in this group.

Nobuharu Asahara is already a thirty-one-year-old veteran, and he, along with Koji Ito and others, is the golden generation of Japanese sprinting. Asahara also ran a time of 10.02 seconds. For an athlete over the age of 30, Asahara's Xuanji still maintains a pretty good competitive state, which is even more commendable. In terms of the course of history, even in 2008, Nobuharu Asahara, who was not inferior to young people, even participated in the 2008 Olympic Games.

In addition to Nobuharu Asahara, Habebe, other strong players in this group include Jordan's Hananaet, Singapore's Bao Shengsong, Maldives' Saeed, and Laos' Omdoufanghe. However, these players are only at the level of Olympic B standard, and after being divided into this group, the semi-finals will be the end of their Asian Athletics Championships.

In the first two groups of games, in the first group, Chen Jian played well and qualified for the first place in the group, and the second place was Tujiang Kuanyu; The first place in the second group of semi-finals is naturally Shingo Suesu, and the second place is Saudi Mubarak, Shen Bang ranked third, but Shen Bang's score is higher than the third place in the first group, according to the rules of the game, Shen Bang has actually qualified for the final.

Haberbe knew he couldn't match Zhang Guan and Asahara, and if he wanted to reach the final, he would have to be faster than the third place in the first group. And Zhang Guan and Asahara's Xuanzhi are definitely the top two in the third group.

In the press area on the sidelines, Filipino reporters generally focused their cameras on Zhang Guan and whispered to each other.

"That person is Zhang Guan." Ramos, a reporter for the Manila Times, pointed to Zhang Guan and said to his female counterpart: "It was he who bragged yesterday that he wanted to break the Asian record!" ”

The female reporter zoomed in the camera, looked at it carefully, and then said: "He looks so tall!" Our Filipino basketball players are not as tall as him. ”

Ramos pouted: "What's the use of growing tall?" It may be okay against the average athlete, but this time he is in the same group as Japan's Nobuharu Asahara. You wait and see, after a while, Chaoyuan Xuanzhi will definitely abuse this Zhang Guan, let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! ”

Ramos deliberately said this sentence loudly so that the reporters around him could hear it, and then everyone nodded their heads in deep agreement. In the eyes of the Filipinos, the Japanese are simply kinder than their American masters, and coupled with the disparagement and ridicule of Zhang Guan by various Philippine newspapers before, all these Filipino reporters present at the moment are waiting to see Zhang Guan's jokes.

In the press area, Yang Zhongyi, the reporter accompanying the national team this time, stood there with a blue face, obviously Ramos's words made him feel very unhappy. Yang Zhongyi was already at the age of blood and strength, and at this moment he couldn't help but retort: "I don't think Zhang Guan may lose to Chaoyuan Xuanzhi, although Chaoyuan Xuanzhi's historical results are better, but Zhang Guan's recent form is just right, and he ran into the 10.10 second mark in yesterday's rematch." ”

"Is that so?" Ramos smiled slyly, then took out five 1,000 Philippine pesos, and said, "Do you dare to bet with me, who is faster, Asahara, Xuanzhi or Zhang Guan." I'll bet 5,000 yuan on Asahara's Xuanzhi faster, and if you don't have pesos, you can use dollars. If you don't dare, forget it! ”

The surrounding Filipino reporters immediately began to coax, Yang Zhongyi was also young and vigorous, and was coaxed by the surroundings, and immediately said: "What don't you dare!" ”

Yang Zhongyi paid 5,000 Philippine pesos, but soon after calming down, he regretted it. In this era, the domestic currency has not yet begun to appreciate, 5,000 Philippine pesos is quite close to the domestic close to 1,000 yuan, and the domestic housing prices have not begun to grow wildly, even in the capital, the housing prices in the fourth ring are only 4,000 yuan per square meter, and 1,000 yuan is also a lot of money for young people like Yang Zhongyi, who have just entered the job.

"Zhang Guan, you must win! Otherwise, my 1,000 yuan will be wasted! Yang Zhongyi prayed in his heart.

……

Inside the stadium, the athletes are being introduced on the radio.

The camera followed Zhang Guan's footage, and at the same time, the radio also introduced Zhang Guan's name and nationality simultaneously, Zhang Guan symbolically waved his hand, but heard the boss booing from the sidelines.

Zhang Guan looked around a little inexplicably, he had never received this kind of treatment before, he felt that the atmosphere in the stadium was a little weird, and he could even say that he had a faint hostility towards himself.

"It seems that I have suddenly become unpopular, and it feels like these Filipinos have a big opinion of me." Zhang Guan took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.

Zhang Guan knows that in this world, respect is earned by himself. If you are strong, people will naturally respect you; Your strength is insufficient, even if you flatter and laugh all day long, you can't get the respect of others. And now, it is clear that the time has come to speak with strength.

Zhang Guan stood on the starting block, looked at the finish line in the distance very seriously, and was ready to start.

Maybe it was the last race of the day, and even the referee wanted to leave work early, so he didn't give the athletes much time to prepare, only to see the starter walk to the edge of the starting line with the starting pistol and say, "Onyourmarks...... set……”

In the flash of the gunshots, Haberbe was the first to rush out.

"Habebe, this is a pressure gun to run!" The crowd watching from a distance immediately looked at the starting reaction time on the display, and Haberbe's starting reaction time was only 0.128 seconds. The vast majority of other athletes have a reaction time of around 0.15 seconds. This shows that Haberbe has successfully run the gun.

"Habebe is really hard enough, and he will use the tactics of pressing the gun to run, but this is not surprising, the strength of Habeibei in this group is not as good as Zhang Guan and Chaoyuan Xuanzhi, if he wants to qualify for the top two in the group, it is basically impossible, so he simply chooses to run with the pressure gun to fight." Yu Gui thought to himself. Then he looked at Zhang Guan's starting reaction time, and the starting reaction time of 0.15 seconds was still so stable.

In the 100-meter race, the athletes in the first 30 meters are accelerating, and the athletes at this stage basically can't pull away too much difference. The next 40 metres are the key areas for the athletes, with the leading group capable of winning the first place leaving the rest behind, and the final 30 metres for the final sprint.

Haberbe had a slight advantage at the start, but he was so short that by the 50m mark the advantage he had built up was gone.

A tall figure appeared from the left side of Habebe, easily completing the overtaking of Habebe, and Habebe had already seen it out of the corner of his eye, and it was Zhang Guan who caught up.

The pace of the two people is not too different, but Zhang Guan, who is close to 1.9 meters tall, has longer legs and bigger steps.

Habeibei also knew that this was not a crime of war, and he had done his best, but it was a pity that he was congenitally insufficient, and at the same time, he also felt that it was time for Asahara's Xuanzhi to surpass himself.

He looked to the right, but then found that Asahara's Xuanji was still half a body behind him.

"What's going on? Zhang Guan has already surpassed me, Asahara's Xuanzhi is still behind me, and Asahara's Xuanzhi is slow? The next moment, Habeibei suddenly realized that the speed of Asahara's Xuanzhi was slightly faster than his own, this was not that Asahara's Xuanzhi was slow, but that Zhang Guan's speed was faster!

At this time, Asahara's Xuanzhi saw that Zhang Guan had taken the lead, and he was even more shocked in his heart. According to the assessment of the coach of the Japanese team, Keikazu Kobayashi, Zhang Guan is probably a player of the same level as Nobuji Asahara, and Nobuhara himself thinks so, but at this moment Sahara Nobuji knows that both himself and Coach Kobayashi Keiwa are very wrong.

"I was wrong, the coach was wrong, we were all wrong! I originally thought that Zhang Guan's strength was at the same level, but now it seems that his strength is stronger than mine, and his real level may be at the level of black players in Europe and the United States. Asahara, thought to himself, and at the same time worried about whether Japan could win the championship in the final.

Although Japanese sprinters are invincible in the Asian arena, in the international arena, there are not even scum left of the black runners in Europe and the United States. The 10-second mark is a good time for Japanese athletes, and for the world's top athletes, running 10 seconds doesn't need any reason at all. The 10-second mark is a question of "if" for Asian athletes, and a question of "whether or not you want to" for black American athletes.

……

Journalists' area.

Yang Zhongyi's heart is about to rise to his throat, he has also reported on sports events many times, but he has never been so nervous as he is today. After all, the victory or defeat of this game is related to his 1,000 yuan, that is, Zhang Guan has already taken the lead, and Yang Zhongyi cannot eliminate his nervousness.

On the other hand, Ramos next to him had a more excited expression. As a senior reporter of a well-known Philippine newspaper, Ramos's income is considered upper-class in the Philippines, and he also has a subsidy for going out to interview, but 5,000 Philippine pesos is almost half a month's income for Ramos. And the vast majority of Filipinos have no concept of savings, they don't want to eat today and don't want to save tomorrow, Ramos also doesn't have much savings, and he impulsively took out 5,000 Philippine pesos today, and if he loses, he may run out of food in the next half of the month.

"Asahara, come on!" Ramos shouted in his heart.

Perhaps Ramos's refueling played a role, and on the track, Haberbe, who was overtaken by Sohara Shinji, made Ramos immediately excited.

"Come on, surpass Zhang Guan again!" Ramos clenched his fists fiercely, only to find that Zhang Guan, who was in first place, had rushed to the front of the finish line.

"Zhang Guan won!" Ramos' ears heard Yang Zhongyi's cheers, and then Ramos only felt that his hand was loose, and the 5,000 Philippine pesos had been snatched by Yang Zhongyi.

"What are you doing?" Ramos roared.

Yang Zhongyi proudly waved the 5,000 Philippine pesos and said, "Mr. Ramos, Zhang Guan won the Asahara, and your 5,000 pesos are mine." Willing to gamble and lose, so many peers are watching, you won't admit it! ”

Yang Zhongyi said and pointed to the electronic timer at the finish line, on which the number "10:00" was particularly dazzling.
