Prior to this, the three groups of preliminaries of the women's 1500m have all ended, and the women's team has always been stronger than the men's team in the short track speed skating event in China, but Rao is so, the women's team in the preliminaries just now, and the second-tier players of South Korea fought a three-to-three draw - 3 players from each side entered the final of Group A.

Among them, the three players who entered the finals of Group A are all members of the national youth team who mainly attack the 1500-meter event.

Such a result, in the preliminaries, is not very good-looking, but it is not unpleasant to hear.

If the men's team can maintain this level, then at least in this practice invitational tournament, the face of the Chinese short track speed skating team will not be rubbed on the ground by South Korea.

It's a pity that when the women's team maintained its form, the first group of the men's team preliminaries just got an unfavorable result - in the first group of the men's preliminaries, the two Chinese players failed to advance to the final of Group A, and obviously had a big gap with the two South Korean players in the game.

When the two South Koreans finally crossed the line, the two Chinese had just made it out of the final corner.

Such a difference in strength made the ice fans who had just breathed a sigh of relief in front of the TV instantly tense up again - how could it be? In the final lap of the sprint, how could the strength of the two sides open up such a huge gap?!

In fact, this has something to do with the different ice tactics of China and South Korea, most of the long-distance athletes in China are actually lacking in strength and endurance, so when the race enters the second half of the race, there are often problems such as lack of strength and even deformation of technical movements.

In the last two laps, the 1,500-meter distance runners in China and the 1,500-meter distance runners in South Korea were significantly shorter than those in South Korea.

This data is enough to prove that at least in terms of speed and strength endurance, South Korean competitors are generally better than Chinese competitors.

This is also the reason why the two Chinese athletes in the first group of the preliminaries were able to occasionally lead the skate in the first ten laps, but in the final two laps of the sprint, they opened up a huge gap with the South Koreans.

It's just that analysis is easy to do, but training is difficult.

South Korean coaches have their own unique experience and techniques in aerobic, anaerobic endurance and strength endurance training, while China's national team is still exploring and researching, and the gap between them is not a problem that can be solved overnight.

Therefore, in the competition, even if he knows that in addition to South Korea's so-called 1500-meter 'new technology', there is still such a difference in strength between the players of the two sides, he can only continue to fight hard-because he clearly knows that the players of the two sides have a gap in technology, ability, and training, so Lin Guobin decided to launch this invitational tournament after hearing that South Korea has a new technology in the 1500-meter distance.

The original intention of all this was originally just for an ordinary exchange and learning.

***

Whatever the original purpose of the match, it has now become a battle of gunpowder between the two teams.

With the defeat of the men's team in the first preliminary round, the pressure is now instantly piled on the second group of players in the preliminary round.

If the men's team doesn't want to really fail in the final Group A final, then in the second group of preliminaries, Su Liang and another member of the Chinese team, Shang Fei, must have at least one of them to be able to make it to the top two.

While Su Liang was warming up, Shang Fei and two other South Korean players in the second group of preliminaries were also sliding on the ice to warm up.

On the commentary seat, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei were introducing several players in the warm-up on the field, which mentioned Shang Fei, Lin Fangzheng's tone was also more worried: "Some ice fans may know that Shang Fei has been injured in the 2000-2001 season, and also missed important events in the 2001-2002 season because of injuries. Among the active men's short track speed skating players in China, the best player in the history of the 1500 meters. ”

"Just because of the whole season off, how is Somfy's physical condition for ice fans? I haven't played in a competitive match for a season, how is my competitive form recovering? All of this still needs to be put a question mark for the time being. ”

"Hopefully, today's practice match can be a new start after he has been absent from a whole season's competition, and at the same time, I hope he can successfully qualify for the Group A final for the Chinese team in this game."

Liao Yuwei nodded: "Yes, Shang Fei can be said to be the first person in the men's 1500 meters distance youth athletes, but because he has rested for the entire 01 to 02 season, this will have some impact on Shang Fei's competitive state. ”

……

When the two commentators introduced the situation of each player on the ice, Su Liang had already started his warm-up skating silently on the ice with his hands behind his back.

Unlike Shang Fei, who was also warming up, the two South Korean players on the ice barely paid attention to Su Liang - after all, the South Korean players also have a basic understanding of Chinese players, at least, Shang Fei, who has had certain achievements in the international arena, and the main selection player of the Chinese national team is much more important than another unknown player.

Whether the opponents around him care about himself or not, Su Liang doesn't care at all, what he cares about is the real 'game' that is about to start!

It's like what he said to Sun Ruixiang before he came out - he was thinking, he can win! Even among all the people present, except for himself, no one would be optimistic about his victory at this moment!

As the sliding warm-up went back and forth, Su Liang took a deep breath silently as he stopped and slid - he was trying his best to restrain the excitement in his heart that was about to burst out, and he needed to save this excitement until the moment when he finally really stepped onto the stage.

But the state in which he stopped and took a deep breath seemed to others to have a different meaning.

On the commentary seat, Liao Yuwei looked at Su Liang's expression with some worry - this Su Liang is only 14 years old, although he is almost in the range of the youth group, but he and the two players in South Korea have an age gap of about three years, and there is a gap of nearly 6 years with Lin Fangzheng, who will be 20 years old.

Although this is just a practice match, this kind of cross-age group is really not suitable.

Lin Fangzheng looked at Su Liang's appearance and was also a little worried.

Is this nervous?

On Su Liang's side, the South Korean athletes, who also finished the warm-up, also saw Su Liang's deep breath as he adjusted his state, and then left Su Liang with a mocking smile - such a psychological quality dares to board the short track speed skating arena? It seems that the younger generation of short track speed skating in China really has no talent worth paying attention to, otherwise why would such athletes be sent to today's practice match?

After Su Liang noticed the disdainful smile on the corner of the South Korean player's mouth, it was rare to think that a smile appeared on Leng Bingbing's face, so that the South Korean player who saw Su Liang smiling even showed an inexplicable look on his face.

After laughing, Su Liang didn't pay attention to anything else, but waited intently for the start of this group of preliminaries.

Come on - he can't wait to start this ice transcendence!

***

The referee didn't make the four players on the field wait too long, and soon after the warm-up was over, the command to 'each be in place' was also issued at the same time.

After this order, the audience in front of the live TV screen looked solemn - here!

In the audience at the scene, Lin Guobin, Zhang Dongcheng and Pei Jing, who accompanied the team, were sitting in the empty audience and looking at Su Liang and Shang Fei on the field in front of them.

Sending Su Liang to the field was a risky decision for Lin Guobin.

Whether it is the audience or the commentator, it can be seen that between Su Liang, a 14-year-old child, and a 17-year-old Korean player, the age difference of 3 years naturally has a gap created by age in the development of basic qualities such as strength.

However, in the previous confrontation with Sun Ruixiang and Liu Qiu, Su Liang made Lin Guobin see some possibilities that were different from Huaguo's current national team players.

His insight on the field and decisive execution of his own decisions, as well as his ability to capture the momentary opportunities he showed in his matches with Liu Qiu......

These have amazed Lin Guobin.

And it was this kind of amazement, as well as Su Liang's amazing stability in the previous 7 days of training, that made Lin Guobin finally make up his mind to bring him to Harbin City.

He wanted to see if such a Su Liang could bring him more surprises in such a high-pressure arena.

It's just that when Lin Guobin made such a plan, he didn't expect that the two main players of the youth team in the first group of the preliminaries would be wiped out.

With such silence and pressure, Lin Guobin began to wait for the final performance of Shang Fei and Su Liang in this game......!

***

On the ice, after the referee's command to 'take their places', Su Liang, Shang Fei and the two South Korean runners all slid to the starting line of their respective tracks.

The four runners in this group are distributed from the inner lane to the outer lane in the order of South Korea's Lee Jung-tae, Su Liang, Kim Nam-hyuk, and Shang Fei, and although the innermost runners occupy the innermost lane, the starting stage of the 1500-meter race has little impact on the final result, and neither these South Korean runners nor the audience in front of the TV do not care about it.

However, after the 'preliminary' action, Lin Fangzheng on the commentary seat said in surprise: "The starting method adopted by Su Liang is different from that of other runners, it is a lateral upright start, which is very rare in the current Asian arena, and it is usually the starting method adopted by some European and American runners. ”

The preparation time on the ice was very short, and by the time Lin Fangzheng finished saying this, all the players were ready to lean forward and press down.

After confirming that the four players present had maintained their stable movements, there was a 'bang', and the starter on the scene fired a gun - almost at the same time, the four players on the field also started at the same time!

***

In front of the live TV screen of the Black Province Sports Channel, Huang Wei had already clenched his fists nervously when the voice of 'all in place' sounded.

This is already the second group of heats for the men's team!

If the two players from this group of Chinese countries also failed to qualify for the final of Group A...... As long as he thinks about the news commentary reports that he saw before in South Korea, Huang Wei feels a depressed feeling in his heart.

You can't lose, you can't lose!

Huang Wei clenched his fists and watched the 1,500-meter duel in front of him almost in a tense posture.

The 1500-meter start and the competition for the occupancy of the inner lane are not as fierce as the 500-meter one, but the ability to seize the inner lane to lead the slide has obvious benefits for the line control on the ice later, but on the field in front of them, in addition to Su Liang, the remaining three people are all using the ice start, and there is an obvious gap in the starting efficiency between the two starting methods, and this gap is also directly reflected in the starting and occupying speed of the three players on the field.

Li Zhengtai was originally located in the innermost lane, after the rapid kicking start, he was already in the leading position of the innermost lane at the end of the first straight, and Kim Nam-hyuk on Su Liang's right hand also occupied the second position in the inner lane before Su Liang with his starting advantage, and Su Liang, who was in the second lane, only occupied the third position in the inner lane, if it weren't for Shang Fei on the fourth lane who did not grab the position of the innermost lane with Su Liang, maybe Su Liang had fallen to the last place at the moment of the opening start.

Seeing the picture in front of him, even though he knew that the position of the first lap of the 1500-meter distance was not important, Huang Wei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

On the commentary seat, Liao Yuwei is calmly and accurately explaining the situation on the field: "At present, the leading position in the first lap is South Korean player Lee Zhengtai, Li Zhengtai turned his head slightly to observe the form behind him, he chose to suppress the speed, and the current first lap of the slide, including my country's Su Liang and Shang Fei, are still quietly waiting for the opportunity to come!" ”

On the field, from the moment he started, Su Liang was immersed in the rhythm of his game - the stimulation brought to him by the official start of this race on the ice made his mind calmer even more.

The more excited he is, the calmer his mind becomes, and this calmness is not so much a cold feeling, but rather the most extreme expression of Su Liang's excitement.

He calmly looked at the backs of Kim Nam-hyuk and Lee Jung-tae in front of him, and completely hid his figure behind the two of them, becoming a silent ghost behind the two of them.

He was observing, just like he had followed behind Mu Yuansheng and Sun Ruixiang at the beginning, waiting and observing the characteristics, frequency, rhythm and even strength of each of the opponent's sliding steps in front of him.

Puff, puff.

The beating sound of his heartbeat sounded in his ears as if he had laid out every node of the ice and the distribution of power for him, and he quietly followed behind Lee Jung-tae and Kim Nam-hyuk, seemingly without any thoughts of overtaking, and even gradually melted into the feeling of their shadows.

On the commentary seat, Lin Fangzheng watched Su Liang's performance, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Su Liang's calmness and skating in the first half of the 1500 meters, but he looked at Su Liang's every skating action, and always felt that something was about to come out in his heart, but he couldn't tell what Su Liang felt to him.

"Ghost...... Again! ”

"It's this shadow ghost-like state again!"

In the audience, Pei Jing couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

This is Su Liang's ice strategy and rhythm in the previous challenge match between Sun Ruixiang and Su Liang, in the first nearly 10 laps, Su Liang did not launch any offensive against Sun Ruixiang, so that Sun Ruixiang thought that he had locked the victory in advance.

But the Shadow Ghost's attacks are also like the Shadow Assassins - in the most exciting moments, deliver the deadliest attacks!

That time, Su Liang's performance amazed everyone, and this time, in the confrontation with these players from South Korea, can Su Liang also give the same amazing 'counter-killing' performance?

On the commentary seat, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei instinctively felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Su Liang's follow-up skating, but before the answer that was about to come out really came out, Shang Fei, who was originally in fourth place in the arena, had already made a new move!

Shang Fei pulled to the outer road, and the acceleration had already passed Su Liang, who was originally in third place in front...... Somfy has already surpassed three people in a row, and has temporarily come to the first leading position! A very beautiful transcendence. ”

"It's lap four, Somfy is leading the way at the front, it looks like he's had a good rest last season, he's showing great speed and power on the ice, he's getting the speed up the ride...... Lee Jung-tae and Kim Nam-hyuk also kept up with Somfy's gliding speed! ”

Because of Shang Fei's sudden acceleration, everyone's attention was focused on the confrontation between Shang Fei and Lee Jung-tae and Kim Nam-hyuk at the front, and no one noticed that Su Liang also followed the rhythm of Lee Jung-tae and Kim Nam-hyuk and fell behind the two of them without disorder.

Although Li Zhengtai initially suppressed the speed of the lead slide, after Shang Fei seized the lead position, Li Zhengtai obviously swayed in his mentality, but after a short hesitation, he temporarily maintained the state of following Shang Fei to reach out and slide.

After entering the fourth lap at 1,500 meters on the ice, the situation changed, from the first two South Korean runners leading the slide to Shang Fei and Su Liang, two Chinese runners one after the other, and the two South Korean runners in the middle were surrounded by them.

Of course, no one, including the two players on the ice and the Huaguo audience before the live broadcast, felt that Su Liang was really in the rear as a member of the 'outflanking front'.

Before the live broadcast, some viewers originally thought that Su Liang could surpass Liu Qiutong and Li Binyang in the 500-meter confrontation, so he appeared in the 1500-meter field, perhaps because his 1500-meter strength was as good as the 500-meter.

At first, there were still viewers who expected that even if Su Liang could not win, at least he would be able to stage a stunning surpass in the short-distance position in the first few laps, like he did with Liu Qiutong and Li Binyang, but seeing that Su Liang still fell in the last place without any ambition until the seventh lap, the audience couldn't help but be a little disappointed and put all their attention on Shang Fei at the front.

From lap 4 onwards to lap 8, Somfy had already led four laps.

For those four laps, Somfy was able to calmly follow the best course he had chosen, with the entire rhythm of the three riders behind him under his control.

That's the advantage of collaring.

However, on the other hand, the lead skating is bound to consume more physical energy, and a lot of physical energy is consumed in the final crucial three-and-a-half lap sprint, which may cause some pressure on the lead skaters.

It's inevitable, but Shang Fei is just as confident that he will be promoted to the senior level this year, and his strength and fitness development is also a bit behind the two South Koreans.

As a player who has been recuperating for a season due to injury, he did not use the injury as an excuse to let go of his training, but avoided the position of injury, and made sufficient training preparations for his physical fitness and strength endurance.

He also knows that because of a year's rest, ice fans and coaches can't fully trust his state and mentality, and today's game is also a demonstration of his own state!

It was with this mentality that Shang Fei began to lead the way from the fourth lap, and even after the ninth lap, he had clearly felt the drastic loss of his physical energy, but he still gritted his teeth and controlled his lead on the ice with his hands behind his back!

Lap 9!
