Chapter 57: Three steps to transcend

In addition to Zhang Guan, the fifth group also includes Jamaica's Fratt and Netherlands Antilles' Martina, both of whom have the ability to run under 10 seconds. In addition, Japan's Naoki Tsukahara is also in this group.

In general, the strength of this group of players can be said to be strong and weak. Zhang Guan, Flatt and Martina have basically taken all three places to qualify, and the other people's best results are all within seconds, and even a best fourth place is difficult.

Eight athletes stood on the track, ready to start, and with a gunshot, the race officially began.

The strength differentiation of the semi-finalists is not as serious as that of the preliminary round, and those who can enter the semi-finals are basically the athletes who meet the Olympic A standard, so at the beginning of the competition, the competition is very fierce.

This time, Zhang Guan's start was more average, and the starting reaction time could only be regarded as moderate, and after the start, he did not take the lead in the first 30 meters like the preliminary race in the morning.

Zhang Guan has participated in the 100-meter preliminaries and tennis semi-finals today, and has just participated in the 1500-meter preliminaries.

This is a kind of human inertia, when people do the same thing continuously, the novelty will slowly fade away without a trace, replaced by more and more numbness, and the level of concentration will naturally decrease.

Thirty meters later, the leader was Japan's Naoki Tsukahara. But that was the end of his lead, with Martina behind him catching up.

That is, in a second, Martina has gone hand in hand with Asahara, and at fifty meters, Martina has overtaken Naoki Tsukahara and is in first place.

There were some Japanese spectators on the scene, who waved Japanese flags and cheered for Naoki Tsukahara, who has started very well so far, and at the 50-meter mark, halfway through the race, he is still in second place and looks very hopeful of qualifying.

Keiko Kobayashi on the sidelines clenched his fists, his face was hideous, like a dormant beast.

"Come on, Tsukahara-kun, Nobuharu Asahara's doomed can't qualify, you are now the only hope for our Japanese team!"

Not far away, Director Yu still had a calm expression, although Zhang Guan was still in the middle of the residence, he always firmly believed that Zhang Guan could qualify smoothly.

"Zhang Guan's performance now seems to be not as good as in the morning!" Usain Bolt, who was on the sidelines, spoke.

"That's natural, it's the first race in the morning. And now Zhang Guan has just participated in the preliminary round of 1500 meters, and I heard that he also participated in the tennis competition in the afternoon, and all aspects of his body will be consumed. Hell if he can stay in the same way he was in the morning! ”

As the two spoke, the situation on the field also changed. First of all, Jamaican player Frath caught up with Asahara's Kenji from less than 60 meters, and then passed Asahara's without any suspense. At this time, the Jamaican player's explosive power in the middle and late stages was exerted, and it was difficult for Asahara's Xuanji to parry at all.

The lack of explosiveness in the late stages is a common problem for Asian players, and the strongest thing about Jamaican players is precisely the ability to continue to break out in the middle and late stages.

"Surpassed by Flat, Tsukahara-kun is now third, third or third, third can also enter the next round!" Kobayashi Keiwa's coach's fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and his nails had already pierced into the flesh, but he didn't seem to notice the pain, and the next second, he suddenly screamed.

Not because of the pain, but because Naoki Tsukahara was surpassed by a third person again.

Naturally, more than Naoki Tsukahara is Zhang Guan.

A lack of explosiveness in the late stages is a common problem for Asian athletes, but Zhang Guan, whose late sprint is clearly the strongest in the world, is an exception.

Zhang Guan's absolute speed is higher than that of other competitors, but it takes a process to increase his speed to the extreme, and once Zhang Guan increases his speed, he can crush all opponents.

At this time, in the arena, after nearly seventy meters of race, Zhang Guan's speed has also reached the extreme, and in just a blink of an eye, he has surpassed Naoki Tsukahara.

For Zhang, this is just the beginning, and he has Martina and Frater in front of him.

……

"Martina is strong again!" Flatt looked ahead, he was already desperately trying to catch up, but it was still difficult to catch up with Martina.

Martina is from the Netherlands Antilles and Frath is from Jamaica, both of whom are from the Caribbean, so they know each other well, and they have competed many times, so it can be said that they have won and lost each other. Martina is clearly a little stronger than Frater today.

"We're almost at the finish line, Martina is in good shape today, and it looks like he can't catch up, but if he finishes second in the group, he can also qualify." Thinking of this, Flatt just wanted to slow down, but suddenly thought of Zhang Guan.

"By the way, what about Zhang Guan? How didn't you see him! ”

At the same time, Zhang Guan overtook Flatt.

"Uh, just thinking about Zhang Guan, he came, and he surpassed me!" Flatt was full of depression, but it was normal to be surpassed by Zhang Guan. But at this time, Flatt realized that he had become third in the group and was on the verge of elimination, and he did not dare to slow down anymore, but sprinted forward with all his might.

……

"Great, the first in the group crossed the line!"

With only fifteen meters left before the finish, Martina had a victorious smile on his face.

Martina took the next step, and Zhang Guan had already chased to Martina's flank.

"It's Zhang Guan! He's catching up! Martina was shocked, Zhang Guan rushed up at a fast speed, Martina was completely unprepared.

Martina took another step, and this time, Zhang Guan was already neck and neck with Martina, and vaguely seemed to be a little ahead.

At this time, Martina finally realized that something was wrong, Zhang Guan's speed was much faster than him, the previous step Zhang Guan was still behind him, and the next Zhang Guan had already arrived at his side, according to this calculation, Zhang Guan would overtake him in the next step.

Sure enough, Martina took another step, but Zhang Guan had already appeared in front of Martina.

"Zhang Guan! This is Zhang Guan! Is this the strength of the world record holder? He surpassed me, and it only took three steps! ”

Martina knows that the gap between the two sides is huge, and it is impossible for him to complete the overtake.

Martina finished well, with a time of 9.96 seconds, much faster than the others. After all, it is a semi-final, and the score of less than ten seconds is enough to stand out from the crowd.

But Zhang Guan is faster than him, Zhang Guan's speed is 9.90 seconds, and the overall score of the semi-final is the first! (To be continued.) )
