It was just a preliminaries, and two players in the same group as Su Liang rushed to foul each other, so the second player who fouled was directly sentenced to leave the court.

In the preliminaries of a group of 5, there was one less person before the start of the competition.

In the audience, the audience also sighed when they saw such a scene.

"It seems that for these players now, the pressure of competing in the same group as Su Liang and competing in the same group with Mu Yuansheng is not much less."

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Su Liang is clearly good at long distance, but these players also feel so nervous about Su Liang at the distance of 500 meters.

"Who would have thought? The pressure on these players to compete with Su Liang has become so great......"

"It seems that in this 500-meter preliminaries, Su Liang's chances of winning are not small."

Ice fans sighed like this, and it is true, after two runners started in a row and violated the rules, the third start, each runner seemed more cautious, and Su Liang maintained a calm and focused state from beginning to end, and did not have a mental fear of the start because of the continuous rush.

Under the offset of the two, even if the players in the same group as Su Liang used a more advantageous point ice start, in this case, the other players in the same group failed to open the gap with Su Liang in the starting stage.

Different from the 1500m the day before, in the 500m race, Su Liang no longer maintained the strategy of following at the back of the team, but adopted a strategy similar to that of the second and third in the final yesterday, which brought more pressure to the opponents in front of him, making the leading skaters in front of him desperately sprint at full speed from the first lap.

The 500m was originally an event that was basically a full sprint rhythm, but the lead skater had a clear sense of panic in the sprint, as if he was being chased.

The players who fell behind Su Liang gradually seemed to have regained their form, but in the 500-meter race, the opportunities for the players to surpass were originally limited, coupled with Su Liang's strong control line and the ability to lock the inner lane, the third player who fell behind Su Liang even if he calmed down and began to look for opportunities to overtake, in the end he failed to successfully complete the overtaking of Su Liang.

In this preliminaries, from the beginning to the final end, Su Liang firmly held the second position.

In the end, Su Liang won the second place in the group with a time of 43.156 seconds, and easily entered the semifinals with the sixth place among the remaining players.

Chapter 49

After the final set of 500m heats, the ice was poured again, and the women's 500m semi-finalists were already waiting in the rest area next to the field.

Su Liang followed the men's 500m semi-finalists to the workbench of the draw group, waiting for his semi-final group to be selected.

Compared with the state of the 1500-meter race the day before, Su Liang could clearly feel that today was only a 500-meter preliminaries, which had already consumed half of the physical state he had recovered after a night's rest.

"Xiao Liang, how do you feel at this time?"

Just when Su Liang was feeling his physical state, Mu Yuansheng's voice came from his ears.

In front of the workbench of the lottery group, Mu Yuansheng was also waiting here.

In the preliminaries just now, Mu Yuansheng directly won the first place in the group with a time of 41.287 seconds, and this result ranked second even in the overall ranking of the entire preliminaries group.

From the moment he started from the point of ice, Mu Yuansheng did not let the opponents in the same group have a chance to surpass him.

This is the first time Su Liang has seen Mu Yuansheng sliding on the ice on the field, the speed and momentum of riding on the ice, Su Liang can't help but feel a little enthusiastic.

And after watching Mu Yuansheng's group of preliminaries, Su Liang even almost had an urge to sprint strongly in the preliminaries, but fortunately, he still forcibly restrained his untimely thoughts.

"It's a bit of a big drain."

For Mu Yuansheng's inquiry, Su Liang did not hide it, this kind of physical exertion is expected, this is because the overload sliding in the final the day before made the body overtired, although the physical fitness has recovered a little today, but the situation of excessive physical fatigue can not be recovered overnight.

In this case, it is normal to perform in the same form as yesterday and consume more energy than yesterday.

Mu Yuansheng nodded, and did not persuade Su Liang not to continue to fight for the qualifications for the finals, but said seriously: "Try to control the state as much as possible, don't overload again." ”

To Mu Yuansheng's persuasion, Su Liang also nodded: "Well, don't worry, senior brother." ”

***

Su Liang and Mu Yuansheng didn't chat for long here, and the staff on the scene had already beckoned to them: "Su Liang, Mu Yuansheng, you haven't drawn lots!" ”

In the time they were talking just now, the remaining 16 players had already taken out their own signings, and now there were only two signings left in the draw, Su Liang glanced at the record book on the table when he walked to the workbench to draw lots-the second group of the semifinals was full, so it was self-evident which two groups the remaining two signings were.

Sure enough, Su Liang drew the first group of the semi-finals from the lottery holder, and Mu Yuansheng appeared in the third group of the semi-finals.

When he saw this sign, Mu Yuansheng frowned slightly.

Su Liang's preliminaries are the seventh group, and they haven't rested for long until now, and the time for pouring ice in the middle is a fixed 10 minutes, and then the women's team's 3 semifinals will be 15 minutes at most.

In other words, from the end of the game just now to the semi-finals, Su Liang only had a 30-minute break at most.

This is not good news for Su Liang today.

Su Liang saw the worry in Mu Yuansheng's eyes, but he didn't think there was anything about it.

"It's normal to play in any order of draw." Su Liang pinched the sign in his hand and smiled shallowly: "The important thing is that no matter how many groups I play, I will not give up the qualification to advance to the finals." ”

Seeing the determined look in Su Liang's eyes, Mu Yuansheng also smiled, and he nodded slightly: "Well, I believe in you." ”

***

In the preliminaries, the first player in the same group as Su Liang finally learned from his teammates that Su Liang was not in good shape after the game.

After knowing this, the player who was stared at by Su Liang in the preliminaries and was so flustered that he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed - he still didn't have a stable mentality, think about it, you also know that no matter how good Su Liang is, he is only a 15-year-old child, and in the 1500 meters the day before, he was obviously desperate in the final stage.

With such a big consumption, how can it be okay today?

After figuring out this, and knowing that he was in the same group as Su Liang in the semifinals, this player from the provincial team of Ji Province also breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't perform well in the preliminaries, and he just called the field back in the semifinals!

In addition to the players of the Hebei provincial team and a player from the Qingshi city team, You Jian and Shi Wenhui, who had been in the same group as Su Liang in the previous day's competition, were also drawn to the same group as Su Liang again.

And in today's group, if you want to say that the strongest is about Liu Yuheng, the main player of the national team.

In the previous day's competition, Liu Yuheng failed to advance to the final due to foul in the semi-finals of the first group, and for him, today's 500-meter semi-finals are a game that cannot be missed.

In the rest area waiting for the stage, including You Jian, Shi Wenhui and others, after looking at Su Liang, they all paid attention to Liu Yuheng.

Obviously, among the judgments of these players, Liu Yuheng is also the opponent they need to pay the most attention to in today's game.

Whatever was on their minds, though, the semi-final group 1 players didn't talk much for the rest of the day – they were also resting quietly to make sure they were as fit as possible.

More than twenty minutes can be said to be fleeting for those who need to rest.

When the semifinals of the third group of women's 500 meters officially began, there were already staff members who came to remind Su Liang and others that they could start preparing for the debut.

Receiving a reminder from the staff, Su Liang nodded, and then closed his eyes slightly to feel his physical state at the moment - compared with the end of the preliminaries, there was a reply, but the recovery was limited.

Enough, though.

After confirming his status, Su Liang didn't delay any longer, he stood up with his opponents in the same group and came to the area where he was waiting to play.

In just one minute, the semifinals of the third group of women's 500 meters on the field have come to an end, and the men's event has officially kicked off.

After the last group of players waiting for the women's team to leave the field one by one, the first group of the men's 500m semi-finals also took off the blades on their skates and entered the field.

On the field, some staff members had already re-aligned the black marker blocks used to position the track, and after Su Liang appeared on the stage with his opponents, in the live broadcast, the broadcaster also reported the path of Su Liang and other 6 players one by one.

The number of semi-finals is determined by the ranking of the advance in the preliminary round, with the first player in the preliminary group ranking in the innermost position according to their individual results, while the players who advance in the supplementary round are ranked outward according to the results of the supplementary promotion.

Su Liang's preliminaries were only ranked 6th in the supplementary promotion, and there were actually few people who were lower than him, so he was naturally ranked in the fifth lane.

In the audience, some ice fans shook their heads after seeing Su Liang's way.

"Su Liang's current physical state, the fifth way, it is difficult to come up with results."

"Indeed, it was okay when the preliminaries were just now, many people are still afraid that Su Liang is as fierce as yesterday, and they probably know that after the preliminaries, Su Liang is almost a paper tiger today."

These ice fans who have been chasing the competition for a few days feel a little sorry in their hearts when they talk about this, after all, Su Liang's personal ability is there, but it is a pity that he can't advance to the finals because of his lack of physical fitness.

There are also ice fans who can see it.

"It's okay, after all, it's young, and it was amazing enough to win the 1500m yesterday! This is the first of its kind in the country! ”

That's right, when the competition just ended yesterday, although the ice fans also chattered, worried that each other was not sure in their hearts, but today the Sports Weekly newspaper published a news - "15-year-old boy won the men's 1500m championship at the second stop of the short track speed skating national league in Hashi!" Become the first junior to win an adult tournament since the tournament's inception! 》

After seeing this news report today, ice fans are excited again.

They watched the game on the spot yesterday, and they can be regarded as witnessing Su Liang make history together!

After all, the gap between the physical fitness, strength and other basic qualities between the junior players and the adult players, and even the gap in the game experience, psychological state, etc., are not the same, so as long as a junior player can win one of the preliminaries and semifinals against the adult player, this is enough to be admired.

And yesterday's Su Liang, he not only won the victory directly in the preliminaries and semifinals, but also extended this victory directly to the finals!

With three wins in three games, he finally swept the championship with a score of 1-1-1 in the preliminaries, semifinals, and finals!

It was an undisputed victory for anyone, and the first junior champion ever to do so to win the eventual victory.

Before this, ice fans thought that if they wanted to create this underage champion who won the championship in three consecutive 1-1-1 games, they had to look at Mu Yuansheng here in the 500-meter event, but it turned out to be a dark horse like Su Liang!

The surrounding ice fans were also relieved after mentioning this topic.

Yes!

The 1500m championship has already made history, so what else is there to regret?

Thinking of this, the ice fans present all paid attention to the players other than Su Liang - in the first group of today's semifinals, which two players will be able to advance to the finals?

***

On the field, Su Liang simply skated two steps on the ice after getting on the ice and turned to the position of the waiting area, and began to wait for the command of the on-site starter.

The remaining 5 players also slid to the waiting area after a short period of activity, and soon, 6 people gathered in the waiting area, and the innermost position was Liu Yuheng of the national team, You Jian on the second lane, and the provincial team players of Ji Province who were in the same group as Su Liang before.

After all the players in the field were ready, the on-site starter also quickly issued the first command - everyone was in position.

All six runners slid to the front of the starting line at the same time and stood still, their hands hanging down at their sides, waiting for the next preparatory command to arrive, and soon, the sound of the preparatory command also sounded quickly.

In the preparation for this semi-final, although all the players were also very nervous, no one was so nervous as to rush to foul during the preparation, so after a crisp 'bang', the starting gun sounded, and the game officially began!

From the moment the game began, Liu Yuheng sprinted forward quickly, and at the same time, he used his excellent starting connection acceleration and straight connection curve technology, steadily from sprinting to sliding into the corner, a complete set of starting actions like flowing water, truly demonstrating the solid foundation of his national team players.

After Liu Yuheng, You Jian did not show weakness, his technical foundation was also very solid and steady, plus he was in the second lane, he also had an advantage, so after a fast sprint, You Jian also followed Liu Yuheng firmly when entering the corner, becoming the second follower.

In the case of no obvious mistakes in the starting stage, the gap between the ice start and the lateral upright start is highlighted, Su Liang's sprint start speed is obviously slightly slower, and Su Liang is on the outermost road, this gap is even more obvious when seizing the inner lane.

When entering the corner, this time Su Liang did not need to slow down the starting speed by himself, so he landed firmly in the last place, and when entering the corner, there was still about a body distance between him and the fifth player in front of him.

In the audience, some ice fans still showed a look of regret when they saw Su Liang's backwardness, but Su Liang was still Su Liang after all, just a corner, he had already re-narrowed the gap between himself and the fifth player.

On the track at this time, Liu Yuheng, who ranked first, was almost unbeatable, and he was about two positions behind You Jian in second place.

Obviously, Liu Yuheng has eaten the lesson of yesterday's 1500m semi-finals, he no longer kept his hands in the game, and began to skate on the ice at his fastest speed, although such a slide is easy to reveal the flaws in the route when entering and exiting the corner, but after opening up the gap with the opponent behind, unless the player who overtakes the rear can grasp the absolute stable control while maintaining the same speed, it may not be a fatal impact.

In today's arena, among these players, except for Su Liang, a dark horse who came from the sky, most of the remaining players have had experience fighting each other since the youth competition, and they can be regarded as familiar old opponents.

That's the case between Liu Yuheng and You Jian.
