Chapter 45

On the way back to the backcourt after the preliminaries, Su Liang once again felt the slimy gaze from the previous warm-up preparation stage, and this time he turned his head and accurately stared at the person - it was still Zhou Haibo.

Probably because Su Liang's appearance and temperament are because of the cold-faced boy, or Zhou Haibo himself is still a little weak in his heart, when he saw Su Liang looking back at him, Zhou Haibo subconsciously wanted to run away again, but this time Su Liang didn't look away, and the two of them didn't warm up on the ice to prepare, Zhou Haibo really didn't have any chance to turn his head and escape from his gaze.

So he had to smile at Su Liang reluctantly, and then introduced himself falsely: "Uh, hello Su Liang, my name is Zhou Haibo." ”

Su Liang: ......

Zhou Haibo: ......

This is simply the first place in the cold field to pick up the sense of déjà vu.

Zhou Haibo felt that he was usually quite capable, why did he feel weak when he looked at Su Liang here?

Even if the chaotic thoughts in his heart are about to float nine days away, Zhou Haibo just can't put away that cowardice, and the excitement of successfully advancing to the semi-finals just now is gone, so he looks at Su Liang with a little twist, like a new daughter-in-law.

…… Oh no, how can he feel like a new little daughter-in-law.

Su Liang didn't know which dimension the thoughts in Zhou Haibo's mind had drifted to, he just looked at Zhou Haibo with a tangled face, looked at it a few more times with a little curiosity, and then nodded at him as well: "Hello, I'm Su Liang." ”

Maybe it was finally opened up, and then Zhou Haibo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his knotted brain was finally able to turn around, and the two of them walked towards the draw area of the semi-final finalists together, and the conversation between the two gradually became normal.

"Su Liang, you're only 15 years old, right? Ah, I'm 21 years old, and my mental quality is not half as good as you when I compete......"

"That chase you had yesterday really made me slippery, how did you manage to be so in control? Every time I enter a corner, I can't control the route as long as I slide hard, you can stick to the inside lane when you enter and exit the corner, and I don't think you seem to have added much to the knife, how do you do it with such a high kicking efficiency......"

"I think I still have to practice my technique of adding knives when I go back, I can't add speed to pull up, but the route is floating, if only I could practice ice sense and efficiency like you, I don't need to add knives and just rely on my own ice pedaling efficiency is enough to surpass, how much physical energy saving?"

Su Liang: ......?

He didn't expect that Zhou Haibo, who was too nervous to speak at the beginning, would be able to talk so much after letting go of his nervousness at this time.

However, when Zhou Haibo reflected on himself, Su Liang finally took over his topic: "You didn't make full use of your skating efficiency, and there was actually some unnecessary idle consumption in the process of skating." ”

This is talking about Zhou Haibo's problems observed by Su Liang in yesterday's chase and the preliminaries.

Zhou Haibo should be a natural strength player, his kicking power is strong and easy to start, but his control ability is weak, and he can't control every detail of his kick well.

As long as you skate on the ice, you know that with each drop, the subtle difference in power and angle brings a huge change.

For a player like Zhou Haibo, who has weak power control, the impact of power control mistakes on his route control is particularly serious.

Zhou Haibo was originally chatting awkwardly alone, but suddenly got a response from Su Liang, and he was quite happy.

"Eh, yes, yes, that's right, my coach also said that according to the strength, I feel that the power of the ice kick is a little overflowing, although the ice kicking power is strong, the efficiency and control have not gone up, but my problem has not been easy to change."

It was not far from the exit channel to the draw point for the semifinals, and Zhou Haibo and Su Liang talked for a while, and the two walked to the place.

The two of them have come all the way, Zhou Haibo has nothing to say, at least he feels that he is not so afraid when facing Su Liang - even if he meets Su Liang again in the next game, he feels that he should not be as nervous as he was in the preliminaries.

When they arrived at the place, the staff was arranging the lottery, so Zhou Haibo asked the staff casually, which group has the least remaining signatures now?

"The second group, just now the second group of the lottery was drawn 4, there are only two places left in the second group, the first group and the third group are still three or four."

While speaking, it was Zhou Haibo's turn to draw lots, Zhou Haibo reached out and touched the lottery box, what he thought to himself was, be sure to give him the second group of lots, there are only two places left, he got a second place, can't Su Liang draw the same group with him again, right?

Thinking like this, he took out the sign he had touched from the box and looked at it - hey, it's really the second group! Looks like he's got a lot of luck this time!

Soon, Su Liang, who was ranked one after Zhou Haibo, also pulled out his semi-final signing from the signing box, and Zhou Haibo showed his second group of signatures to Su Liang in a relaxed mood: "I am the second group, what about you?" Group 1 or Group 3? ”

Then he saw that Su Liang also showed a 2 on the sign.

Zhou Haibo: ......

He's stupid, he thinks he's really stupid.

Why, 1 second ago, did he think that the second set of numbers could not have been better? Is it too late to apply for a re-draw?

As a result, Su Liang witnessed the whole process of Zhou Haibo's journey from nervousness to relaxation and chatter to excitement and sluggishness.

Su Liang felt that this player named Zhou Haibo was quite funny.

In fact, although it is far from Su Liang's age, Su Liang has also heard the name of Zhou Haibo, but it is not a positive case, but a counterexample.

In that case, Zhou Haibo was recruited into the team by a provincial team with his talent for speed ability, and indeed achieved relatively good results in some domestic competitions one after another.

It's just that before everyone has deeper expectations for him, Zhou Haibo, who qualified for the event with his excellent performance in the domestic selection tournament, met Cui Changxi and Gao Jaeyong, two young geniuses who had just made a name for themselves in the Asian region at that time, in that Asian regional league.

A league completely shattered Zhou Haibo's mentality, even if the coach of the provincial team comforted and adjusted him in every possible way after returning to China, but Zhou Haibo could still stabilize in the domestic competition, and once he arrived in the international competition, his mentality collapsed, and since then he has been given the nickname of a coward, which has made countless ice fans hate him for not being iron.

Su Liang had only heard of the nickname King of Cowardship before, and he had not been able to hook up with Zhou Haibo himself at first, until today he remembered that the real name of 'King Coward' was Zhou Haibo.

However, compared to the 'cowardly king' in his memory, who chose to retire because he was ridiculed and finally seemed to be unable to improve his grades at a young age, the Zhou Haibo in front of him is obviously much more vivid and vivid than the simple word 'instigated king'.

And Su Liang also felt that with Zhou Haibo's mentality, the mentality of the chase game collapsed yesterday, and today he stabilized his state at the end of the preliminaries.

It doesn't seem to be as bad as the legend says to be incorrigible?

Zhou Haibo was staring at the ball in his hand and wanted to cry without tears, so he felt that Su Liang seemed to be looking at him: "Ah? Su Liang, what do you think I'm doing? Is there anything dirty on my face? ”

Su Liang was silent for two seconds, and shook his head calmly: "No." ”

At this time, Zhou Haibo's coach also rushed to the lottery area and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Haibo, it's good!" I'll just say you can do it! ”

Zhou Haibo is also very happy, after all, before today's race, he is still in the mentality of breaking the jar and falling, and he really feels that he has no hope for the 1500m this time, and the result of breaking the jar is quite good, although it is only the second place in the group and the crane tail to advance to the semifinals, but this is already an ideal good result.

Zhou Haibo's club coach is very excited, this is the first time he has brought out a player who can enter the semi-finals in Group A of the National League, which can be regarded as their club's signature result.

The coach was excited about Zhou Haibo for a while, and then noticed that the person on the side was Su Liang, and greeted Su Liang with emotion.

"Hello, hello, I've admired my name for a long time!"

After a simple greeting, the coach saw the sign in Su Liang's hand, and then remembered the purpose of his coming: "Haibo, how many groups have you drawn?" ”

Zhou Haibo handed the ball in his hand to the coach.

"Oh, the second group."

…… No, wait, he just saw that the ball in Su Liang's hand seemed to have a number 2 written on it?!

No way?

Zhou Haibo saw that the coach looked at Su Liang stiffly, so he simply nodded: "Su Liang and I are in the same group again." ”

Coach: "......"

***

As for the news that Zhou Haibo and Su Liang were drawn to the same group again, it didn't take long for ice fans to know - because of the gap time between the ice pouring on the spot, the on-site broadcaster got the grouping list of the three groups in the final semi-finals, and read out the final grouping situation on the radio.

Huang Wei and the surrounding ice fans were stunned for a moment when they heard the group list of the second group of the semifinals for the first time, what happened? Why did you hear the names Zhou Haibo and Su Liang in the same group again?

This can't be done, right? Zhou Haibo's luck, is he really going to bind Su Liang to the end?

After listening to it, an ice fan next to Huang Wei thought that he had heard it wrong, but he ended up chatting with the big guys around him - it's really true!

Many of the people present couldn't help but laugh.

"But forget it, whether it's with Su Liang or not, Zhou Haibo should end here."

In the preliminaries just now, Zhou Haibo's incomparably physical energy consumption of the leading tactics, if only one game is okay, but that is only the preliminaries, in the last two laps, in fact, it can be seen that Zhou Haibo's physical fitness has seriously slipped, but in the end he re-stabilized his mentality, and the other three players were shocked by Su Liang's continuous surpassing, and Su Liang and Zhou Haibo's 'wonderful cooperation' when they crossed the corner, lost the opportunity to surpass, and finally lost the hate.

But in the semi-finals, it's a different story.

Zhou Haibo, who lacks physical fitness, is bound to be unable to continue to maintain his previous leading skating tactics, so he can only follow the situation of skating, first of all, his physical reserve is not as good as other players, and secondly, his surpassing skills are not as good as other players.

In the semi-finals stage, there is no such thing as supplementary promotion, that is, the top two players in each group directly advance to the final finals, that is, only by winning the top two places in the semi-finals, Zhou Haibo can be promoted.

And who are the players in the second group of the semi-finals?

Su Liang and Zhou Haibo Needless to say, the other four players, You Jian, Zhang Shaowu, Zhao Jiayong, Shi Wenhui, although these four players are not members of the national team, they are also excellent players in the provincial teams of Hei Province and Yi Province - Zhou Haibo, who has not yet entered the provincial team, is a little different from these players in terms of identity alone.

"Eh, don't talk about Zhou Haibo, do you think Su Liang can get a place to advance to the finals from Zhang Shaowu and a few of them?"

Some ice fans have initiated new questions.

Huang Wei is also thinking about this at this time.

There are 3 semi-finals, a total of 18 semi-finalists, and there are only 6 places in the final qualifiers, and each player wants to reach the final, no one will paddle in the semi-finals, they will only do everything to reach the top.

Compared to the experienced provincial players, these players also have an age and physical advantage.

"What's wrong with age and fitness? When the preliminaries were just now, the last transcendence, do you dare to say that someone on the scene except Su Liang could do it so silky? ”

Just when these ice fans talked about the age and physical advantages of those provincial team players, someone mentioned Su Liang's ghostly skating.

"Don't say anything else, Su Liang's gliding is really like floating! I used to read Liu Yaowu Liu Ji's rainbow fart essay, and at that time I couldn't think of what kind of effect it was to 'float' on the ice, but just after watching the part of the slide he surpassed, I felt that he had no friction at all with the ice, and suddenly he went up......"

"Isn't that right? Especially at that time, Zhou Haibo also added a knife to speed up, and he felt that Su Liang's feet didn't seem to move, but he was stunned faster than everyone present. ”

The ice fans present were very obsessed with Su Liang's performance in the last preliminaries, and therefore praised Su Liang's ice sense and skating efficiency.

Huang Wei thought of it, Su Liang probably relied on such skills and abilities to be able to be proudly undefeated among a group of adult players at the age of 15, right?

Some of the skills of the players on the ice, although it seems to say, 'Everyone knows, why can't you learn from others?' You can learn even if you designate! But Huang Wei has occasionally heard some bigwigs in the Ice and Snow Kingdom mention that the skating posture and technique of athletes are actually related to the physical talent of athletes.

For example, some players, when skating on the ice, can only add knives continuously, and there is no way to add knives one by one, and some players just can't do continuous knives when skating.

Different physical talents, the skills that can be mastered are different, such as some of Su Liang's body postures, which have also been studied on the Ice and Snow Kingdom Forum, and some bigwigs found that Su Liang's sliding posture is lower than that of ordinary players, and some people have raised questions - why can Su Liang have such a low posture and other players can't?

After all, we all know that low-profile skating can reduce drag and physical exertion, which is simply an introduction to short track speed skating, but why not make universal diffusion adjustments to such good knowledge and posture?

The question is: the body structure is different.

So just from the physical fitness conditions, many ice fans already know that Su Liang's physical structural talent is at least the top in China - maybe it is the top in the world, after all, I didn't watch the previous practice invitational tournament, those South Korean players are not as low as Su Liang's posture?

The ice fans present said a word, chatted, the ice on the ice finally ended, and then the women's 1500m semi-finals took the lead, and when the women's team's 3 groups of competitions ended, the women's 1500m finals were decided first, and the first group of semi-finals in the men's group finally went to the ice.

Among the players in the first group of the men's group, two are players from the national team, because the density of national team players is the highest among the three groups, and the rest of the players are also the top players of each provincial team, so the first group of the semi-finals was called the death group of the semi-finals.

And after the start of the competition, the players in the first group of the semi-finals are worthy of the title of members of the 'group of death', in order to compete for the top two qualifications, from the start stage, the players are subconsciously competing for the lead position.

This is a rare occurrence in the 1500m race.

Not only in the starting stage, but also from the eighth lap, the alternation of the leading positions of this group of events became significantly more intense, and the alternating speed became faster and faster, and in the last three laps of the sprint lap, three or five runners on the ice were pulled to the outside of the road at the same time to find the gap to overtake, and even when cornering, they were also tightly attached to the side and back of the lead skaters, trying to find the lead skaters' mistakes in the corners at any time, so as to take advantage of the gap to overtake.

During this period, there were players who wanted to overtake who couldn't control their slides and fell off the track in the process of changing lanes, and finally after the end of this group of races, there were a total of 6 players, only 3 players had the final results, two of them fell off the track and retired before finishing the race, and 1 ate a pen (Penalty foul referred to as PEN).

After this group of events, the audience gasped.

"It's so exciting!"

"This group just now is the most exciting and intense group we saw today, right?"
