Chapter 90: Advance to the semifinals
Chen Mingliang entered the semi-finals with an indisputable huge advantage, and Coach Wang and assistant coach Chen Chong were very happy. This is a player with a lot of potential, and with his current results, he has a very good chance of qualifying for the finals.
It's almost a sure thing. I really didn't expect that China still has such a great player in the short middle distance!
Coach Wang is also knowledgeable, although he is not coaching the men's team, Chen Mingliang's temperament is already very much like a world-class player.
At lunchtime, Coach Wang was still sighing, Coach Chen has a good seedling, and the track and field team will finally have one acre and three points of land for his old Chen.
"The women's team has been a bit sluggish lately, and our hard days should come."
Chen Chong is simply happy, he has no conflict of interest with anyone, and he is simply happy for Chen Mingming, the little brother.
He finally knew that he was older than Chen Mingming, you bad boy is not kind, I called you Brother Chen for a day, and you didn't say to correct it. It's purely to take advantage of me.
In the semi-finals in the afternoon, CCTV was finally no longer an afterthought, although there was no live broadcast, but it still sent an interview team, and also got the morning recording, they reacted faster than the track and field team, they have realized that this young man may have to explode on the spot.
Prepare for the sports news in the evening, and then also apply for tomorrow's game to be broadcast live.
In the afternoon, the list of 16 players for the semi-finals has come out, Chen Mingming's results are third, and only South Africa's Saipon and Algeria's Gu Ai Ni have better results than him. If you follow this result, Chen Mingliang will win the bronze medal.
Of course, Chen Mingliang is not clear about these situations, and he doesn't know the names written on the display screen, only his own pinyin can read them.
Coach Wang doesn't understand very much, in a word, recklessness is right.
At the beginning of the semi-finals, Chen Mingliang was divided into the third lane of the first group, and there were only two groups, and the top four in the group advanced to the finals.
Among the 16 people who participated in the 800 meters, only Chen Mingliang had yellow skin. Half of it was white, and the other half was black.
After all, it's the semi-finals, and the media in Spain is not bad. Everyone gave a short introduction, each person had a shot of about 10 seconds, there were more celebrities, and fewer novices.
When I got to Chen Mingming, the introduction was relatively simple, just said that this was Chen from Red China, this was his first major competition, and his registration time was 1:43.58, which is their domestic result. Hells know if there are ghosts, let's believe it. He is only 17 years old, my God, you look at him, his forehead lines are all open, and he is only 17 years old. Whoever said that East Asians look young, see if I don't kill him.
Chen Mingliang didn't understand Spanish, and he didn't have the opportunity to watch TV.
I only know that I stayed for a long time when I introduced myself, could it be that I was handsome. He also smiled and waved at the camera.
The current athletes are not as active as the athletes of later generations, and most of their performances are relatively flat, but Chen Mingliang's performance is already active.
The referee explained the rules of the game in English and Spanish. Although Chen Mingliang didn't understand, he still had to do the necessary homework and knew what they meant.
The semi-finals begin!
The process is still the same;
βOn your mark!β
βget set!β
Without waiting for the gunshots to go off, someone still ran away.
In fact, there is no need to run 800 meters, everyone starts in a standing style, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of tactics and physical strength.
The game resumes.
It was a smooth start.
Chen Mingliang doesn't care about the rest, and there is no one to guide him on what to do anyway, so let's be the first to run.
In terms of the acceleration ability of the front start, the 10 800-meter runners combined can't compare to Chen Mingming, his main event is to practice 100 meters, the front start is connected, accelerating, very smooth.
In just a few short steps, he had already established the lead.
At the end of the corner, he started to go along, and he didn't have the slightest hesitation, still in the first place.
Coach Wang and Chen Chong beside him also sighed
"This Chen Mingliang player is really strong, I just don't know if he can support it."
Apparently yes. After entering the normal leading stage, Chen Mingliang held his head high, straightened his upper body, and the pace under his feet was very large and the frequency was not low. The distance is getting bigger and the players in the same group as him are getting bigger and bigger, and the other players feel that this person is here to stir up the game, how long can you hold on if you do this.
Chen Mingliang has entered a state of selflessness, and he has not looked back at all, although looking back at the lagging players This is his style, and he is as angry as Bolt.
However, this is his first official international event. In the past, it was instilled how strong foreign players are, and East Asian players are not good at this event. We must be humble and not be too public.
He can be called all-out.
At the end of the lap, the referee shook the small bell of the last lap.
At this time, Chen Mingliang was no less than 10 meters away from the players behind him, although in the 800-meter race, 10 meters was not too far, and there was a chance to catch up when he sprinted at the end.
However, Chen Mingliang showed no signs of slowing down, and the gap with everyone was further increasing.
In fact, after such a long time of national team training, Chen Mingliang is no longer the kind of tendon that he used to run at a constant speed throughout the whole process, and he has already made some changes.
For example, in the first half of the race, his speed also changed a bit, and he reserved some energy for the final 200m sprint.
Sure enough, the last 200 meters arrived!
Chen Mingliang felt that his physical strength was okay.
Although he couldn't see the players behind him, he knew that he was still far from the best player in the world, Denmark's Wilson Jeepkete.
The Danish brother is a veritable world No. 1, world record holder, and Jeepkite dominated the 800m for many years before Kenyan strongman David Ludisha appeared.
His world record is 1:41.11, and his best time is just 1:42.55, a little more than a second.
Chen Mingliang can only rush himself, and he has no proud capital.
At this distance, it doesn't matter if he has a player or not, let's sprint!
Chen Mingliang took the lead in starting the acceleration sprint, and the players behind him were uncomfortable.
The kid in the lead is not a rookie, who can catch up with him at such a speed?
Fortunately, it's not the finals, otherwise it wouldn't have capsized in the gutter.
Chen Mingliang didn't care, sprinted by himself, and flew freely.
The players behind basically gave up catching up, and the top four could advance to the finals anyway.
Only the Spanish media presenter was there called:
"Oh, this East Asian player, this Chinese player, he is going to run first in the group! Whoever stops him, who stops him, if this continues, you won't be able to do it in tomorrow's final! β
Sure enough, Chen Mingliang won the first place.
The time was 1:42.68!
It's almost Chen Mingming's best result.
This official result is also the best international result in the whole year of this year!
He was the first runner to run 1 minute and 43 seconds this year!
Awesome my brother!
