Volume 3 Come on, let's go to the future together Chapter 258 Test Match: Momentum is like a bamboo
Everyone was very excited, and they got together to chatter, and Ulihan bluntly said that there was nothing difficult about the competition, and that the former world champions and Olympic champions have not shown any outstanding progress so far.
Even Tang Huai cheered everyone on: "Very good, just keep this state, we made them busy in Soldden, we can only use the next three indiscriminate routines to block, now to our home field, thousands of Chinese on the sidelines are watching, forgive them and don't dare to go too far." ”
In his opinion, now the morale of the whole team is high, and the three Chinese teams have all accounted for the time, place, and people, which is a good opportunity to win the game in one go.
The most ideal situation is that Li Changyi, Gao Entropy and even Wu Lihan will all enter the finals, and then distribute high entropy to get championship points, and others can just take a medal, anyway, Li Changyi and Wu Lihan have won gold medals in the World Cup, and it will not have much impact if there is one more or less.
And winning this gold medal with high entropy means that 1,000 Fis points will be credited to the account and the Olympic qualification will be secured.
Gao Entropy is very confident: "Don't worry, as long as I enter the finals, everyone doesn't need to help me, and each of them shows the people of the motherland their real skills, even if I win a silver medal, I will have 800 points, which is enough." ”
He said the word "motherland" heavily, which really moved Tang Huai.
This is a person who grew up in Australia and did not become a Chinese citizen until he was 19 years old.
On the evening of the end of the preliminaries, the group results of the 1/8 finals have been announced from the official website of the International Ski Federation, and the top two will advance in a group of four.
Tang Huai held a meeting overnight and made emergency plans and tactical arrangements for each athlete.
Considering that this group ranking is a bit complicated and awkward, we will not list them all here, but will show them one by one in the following games.
The next day, that is, on the morning of November 27, 2021, is the 1/8, 1/4 and semi-finals of the opening match of this World Cup, and in the afternoon, the small finals and big finals of the men's and women's groups will be directly competed, and the competition will be completed in one day.
This schedule is different from the previous practice abroad, where the semi-finals are over, and then the championship and awards are won the next morning.
The ski resorts that host large-scale competitions abroad are usually located on the mountains at an altitude of three or four thousand meters, lacking permanent hotels and supporting service facilities, and athletes usually have to finish the competition early and go down the mountain to rest.
Unlike Genting Snow Park, Genting Grand Hotel's upscale rooms are within easy reach, and all amenities and transportation links form a closed loop to meet the needs of athletes.
For these world-class athletes, three or four rounds a day isn't too much of an impact, at least there's a lunch break before the big finals to get their muscles back to their best.
In the 1/8 finals, Li Changyi was divided into the first group, this game was lackluster, he and Ejiwal were obviously one notch better than the other two (American Leith, German Noel), so it was easy to advance one after the other.
The second appearance of the Chinese team is Zhang Zhiwang, who was unlucky in the group this time, with the German Berg, the "champion killer", and the American veteran Didoff is not easy to deal with. Last night, Tang Huai set him the goal of skating as much as he could, and if he really didn't work, he would find a way to eliminate the Americans.
Tang Huai is thinking that Banksy is coaching the U.S. team, and it is likely that he has obtained information from Pitt about Chinese athletes, and if too many American athletes advance to the next competition, they may make an offensive move against Li Changyi and Gao Entropy, and they will not be able to participate in the Winter Olympics.
Zhang Zhiwang knew that helping Li Changyi and Gao Entropy was helping himself, so he gave up the idea of competing for the qualification early on, and went directly to press Didoff as soon as he set off.
As a result, neither man could skate at speed, and Berg and Switzerland's Kobright advanced.
After the race, Didoff was very annoyed and dropped his skis on the spot, looking very ungraceful.
Banksy's face was gloomy and ugly, and after the U.S. team arrived at Genting Snow Park, they had been hiding in their rooms except for necessary field training, trying to avoid meeting Chinese athletes, in fact, they were plotting some destructive plans.
In last season's game in Wessonna, Switzerland, they knocked out Ulihan with a young player, and they successfully inflicted a heavy blow on the Chinese team. Unexpectedly, a strong player like Li Changyi appeared later.
If Li Changyi is also abolished this time, then the Chinese will have no chance of winning the prize at the Winter Olympics.
Because of his good grouping, Didoff was originally tasked with blocking Li Changyi in the 1/4 finals, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by Tang Huai and Zhang Zhiwang in the first place.
What made him even more depressed was that Kone, who was in the third group, was defeated by A. Hemerlin and Schulge, and failed to advance. In the fourth group, High Entropy advanced to Italy's Viscintin, without the American players.
So in the quarter-finals he has no pieces available.
Vader, who have been placed in Group 6, and De Boulder in Group 8 have qualified, but their chances of reaching the semi-finals are very slim, as they will meet Somaliva, Grondin, Waltier, Bolton and China's Ulihan respectively in the quarter-finals.
It's just too hard to grab a qualification or two from these famous players.
In the women's group, the final stage was directly held in the quarterfinals, and Fan Qingwan's players in the same group were Bellinghery of Italy, Brockhoff of Australia, etc., and there were no Americans.
Wu Ying was divided into the fourth group, but she encountered the American veteran Jaco-Belis, and it is not cost-effective to use this legendary star to fight Wu Ying, the main force of the Chinese team.
Overall, Banks' carefully conspired conspiracy has fallen into collapse before it even begins.
Without the troubles of the Americans, Li Changyi and Gao Entropy met in the 1/4 finals, and they cooperated tacitly to eliminate Heimerlin once again, and both advanced to the semifinals.
Of course, Heimerlin didn't seem to do his best this time, perhaps related to the guilt he felt in his last game for forcibly pushing down Li Changyi. Previously, he had sent an email to Li Changyi, repeatedly explaining that he was involuntary in the game and that he would make up for it in the future.
It's a shame that Ulihan didn't make it to the semi-finals, even last season when he was fit and at his peak of form, he had lost to Somaliva in Hetram and other races, not to mention now having a broken leg.
Waltier, who has made a comeback, was robbed of the gold medal by High Entropy in Sölden, and this time he is here for revenge, and the momentum is completely unstoppable.
However, in the men's group, Li Changyi and Gao Entropy are advancing all the way, and Tang Huai is already very satisfied, not to mention that the performance of the women's team has also exceeded his expectations.
