Chapter 371: Going Crazy in the Semifinals?

September 29, 10 a.m., Incheon Asian Games Main Stadium. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is the third day of competition in athletics.

The two competition days that have ended, in the comments of the Chinese and Japanese media, are: "The Asian Games track and field competition can be renamed the 'African Athletics Championships'." ”

The women's 10,000m was won by UAE's Aliya, who has a notable East African profile and is a naturalised athlete from Kenya from the UAE.

The women's 3,000m steeplechase was won by Bahrain's Jebet, who is also a naturalized Kenyan athlete.

Women's 400m champion Adkoya, a naturalised Bahraini athlete from Botswana.

The men's 5000m is even more hoisted, and the champion, runner-up and third place are Qatar's Aljarni, Bahrain's Gebre Bekele, and Bahrain's Ropp, all three of whom are naturalized African athletes, they are from Morocco, Ethiopia and Kenya.

In the men's 100-meter run, Ogunod, who was naturalized from Nigeria from Qatar, won the championship with a time of 9.93 seconds.

In the first two days of athletics, a total of 13 gold medals were decided, including 4 in track and field, 7 in track and 2 in race walking.

7 gold medals in track competitions, 5 by African mercenaries.

In the women's 10,000 meters, 3,000 meters hurdles, 400 meters, and 100 meters, only China's female flyer Wei Yongli won the women's 100-meter gold medal, and the remaining three gold medals were won by female athletes naturalized from Africa.

In the men's 5,000m, 400m and 100m, Saudi Arabia's Yusuf Masrahi retained the men's 400m gold medal.

Qatar and Bahrain are big naturalizers, and the United Arab Emirates has also begun to make moves, and these West Asian countries have a common characteristic: they are not bad for money.

Naturalized competitors are mostly from Africa, with East African mercenaries generally being used in middle-distance running, and West African mercenaries being responsible for conquering sprinting positions. It is also possible to occasionally see new forces naturalized from Caribbean countries such as Jamaica and Honduras, and the countries of West Asia can be said to be eclectic in reducing talents.

Asian athletics has gradually begun to form a new pattern of Asian indigenous people versus foreign mercenaries, which is especially evident in track competitions.

A few months ago, when the Diamond League had just started this season, Doucle beat West Asian track and field athletes such as Bashim and Yusuf Maslahhi, and set a new Asian record in the 400m and 800m held by West Asian athletes.

At that time, a group of grief-stricken West Asian journalists united to create public opinion, suggesting that the chiefs of their countries should increase their efforts to bring in high-level track and field athletes to compete with the growing Chinese track and field team.

The emergence of a large number of high-level African athletes in the track and field arena of the Asian Games may be a good thing, which can promote the efforts of the indigenous Asian athletes, and ultimately improve the overall level of Asian athletics, but it may also bring some disadvantages, both pros and cons.

Suddenly, with a bang, the men's 200m preliminaries began.

Xie Zhenye in Group 2 of the preliminaries won the first place in the group with a time of 20.80 seconds and advanced to the semifinals.

Bang bang bang, after a few shots in a row, Shota Iizuka, Ogunod, Duke and other strong players all successfully advanced to the semifinals.

Duke ranked first overall in the preliminaries with a time of 20.05 seconds, and when he ran to 150 meters, he glanced back and found that the second place was thrown seven or eight meters away by himself, so he began to let go, and put it in 20.05 seconds.

After running a shot in the 200-meter preliminaries, Du Ke had lunch, and then went to the training ground to continue to practice with Su Bingtian to pass the baton.

At half past four p.m., Du Ke came to the Incheon Main Stadium again to prepare for the 200-meter semi-finals at 6 p.m.

After an hour of warming up at the warm-up field, Duke entered the standby room and prepared to play.

Looking at the time, at 17:50, it is estimated that it will be half an hour before Duke will play, and he will be placed in Group 3 of the semifinals.

While waiting to appear, Duke did something by upgrading the [Fast Assault] again, increasing the cadence acceleration effect of the second upgraded [Fast Assault] to 6% and costing 60 bonus points.

After winning the men's recurve bow individual championship yesterday, Duke received a 20-point championship reward and a 10-point skipping participation bonus, because the sum of his shooting and archery page attributes is less than 480 international level, so he can enjoy the benefits of skipping the level of participation in the international archery competition.

After spending 60 bonus points to upgrade [Fast Assault] again, Duke still has 433 bonus points, the light of honor can also flash 7 times, and the balance is 1 medal of honor and 11 honor points.

The initial buff of [Fast Assault] is 3%, and Duke spent 30 bonus points to upgrade its buff to 4.5% while participating in the Diamond League, and then ran a time of 9.66 seconds in the 100-meter run. The capping effect of this stunt upgrade is 6%, and after Duke upgraded [Fast Frequency Assault] for the second time, it has been capped.

"Okay, the stunts have been upgraded, so let me challenge Usain Bolt and the Jamaican lightning that pierced the night sky in Berlin."

Duke's mind conjured up images of the men's 200m final at the '09 World Athletics Championships in Berlin, where Bolt opened 19.20 seconds to set a new world record of 19.19 seconds.

At this moment, the ambitious Duke wants to challenge the Jamaican lightning of the year, he knows that it is difficult, because his 200-meter PB is 19.48 seconds, so he upgraded the [Fast Frequency Assault], as for how difficult it is, the pony crosses the river, and he only knows it after that.

Bang!

On the track, the first group of the men's 200m semifinals ended, Xie Zhenye directly advanced to the final with the second place in the group, and the men's 200m final will start at 20:45 tonight.

Bang!

The second group of semi-finals is over.

At 18:20, Duke from the third group came out, and he was on the 4th runway.

Bang!

The game begins.

Duke, who had already cut to the track and field page, set off quickly, and immediately after the start, he cut the wolf ear halo into a leopard tail halo and began to accelerate in the corner.

Compared with the preliminaries, the overall strength of the semi-finalists is definitely stronger, but Duke still stands out from the crowd.

At the end of the corner, Duke entered the straight, and Duke was already three or four meters ahead of the second place, and in the last 50 meters, Doucle's lead extended to six or seven meters.

Duke rushed to the front with a huge lead, but he didn't look back, he didn't slow down, but started the [Fast Assault] that had just been promoted, and he was about to try to break Bolt's world record of 19.19 seconds in the semi-finals!

"Did Duke go crazy? In the semi-finals, he rushed so fiercely! Xie Zhenye, who was watching the game in the rest area, was very surprised, he is also a professional sprinter, he is quite sensitive to speed and time, and he feels that Du Ke's 200-meter semi-final is going to run a very good result!

Duke crossed the line at full speed and made an active line pressing action, he threw the second place Shota Iizuka more than 10 meters away, crossed the line first, won the first place in this group of semi-finals, and directly advanced to the final.

Shota Iizuka, the main runner of the Japanese sprint team, finished second in the group and also advanced directly to the final.

After Shota Iizuka crossed the line, he looked at Du Ke's gradually decelerating back, and complained without tears: "This is the semi-finals, don't you want to be so crazy!" , Duke ran 19.37 seconds, beating me by more than 1 second, the magic of this big demon king is really unpredictable! ”

Shocked by the crowd, Duke ran 19.37 seconds in the 200m semi-finals, breaking his own Asian record of 19.48 seconds and shaving 0.11 seconds off the previous Asian record.

It's just that Du Ke, who has just broken the Asian record and personal 200m PB, feels the pressure: "19.37 seconds, not far from Michael Johnson's world record that year, but there is still a gap of nearly 0.2 seconds from Bolt's 19.19 seconds, [Fast Frequency Assault] has been upgraded to the top by me, 19.19 seconds is definitely hellish difficulty, it is even more difficult to break than 9.58 seconds, the fury can be opened one or two, but it can't be opened in all ......"

It seems that Duke really has high standards and strict requirements for himself. (To be continued.) )
