Also as the seed object of the Beijing team's national championships, Su Liang had won the championship in the 1500 meters the day before, and now it is the turn of the 500 meters to race, and it is natural that Mu Yuansheng has pressure.

Even if Mu Yuansheng already has the strength to win the World Cup, it does not mean that he will definitely be able to win the gold medal in the National Championships.

After all, the 500-meter short distance is the distance that domestic players are best at.

Not to mention anything else, Qi Wenjun, who was previously recognized as the first domestic player in the 1500-meter distance, has retired, but Chu Rui, who is the first person in the 500-meter distance, has now reduced the frequency of participating in the competition, but he has not really retired.

In fact, before the start of this National Championships, some sports media in China were discussing whether Mu Yuansheng, who is recognized as the first person in the new generation of 500 meters, can he win Chu Rui in this National Championships and really take over the throne of the first person in the 500 meters?

Among the domestic ice fans, there are many fans of Chu Rui, from the perspective of fan mentality, they still think that Chu Rui is the strongest in the domestic 500 meters, and of course they are also looking forward to the appearance of Mu Yuansheng, but when it comes to Mu Yuansheng's surpassing of Chu Rui, they are not very happy, thinking that Mu Yuansheng is not yet hot.

It is said that it is a competitive sports circle, in fact, quarrels between fans are also a common thing, anyway, Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng are also arguing in the ice fan circle about who is strong and who is weak at this stage.

Especially in the last World Cup, Mu Yuansheng participated in it and Chu Rui did not participate, and it was also a commotion for a while.

This time, Chu Rui participated, so the heat of this topic was even higher, correspondingly, because the attention was so high, and Su Liang, who was considered a fellow disciple, had already won the championship in 1500 meters, Mu Yuansheng's body could not be under much pressure.

Jiang Yibo knew that this disciple of his was also accustomed to putting pressure in his heart and not speaking, so he specially called out someone and comforted him from the side.

"The situation is different between 500 meters and 1500 meters, your road is destined to be more difficult than Xiaoliang, no matter what, don't worry."

When Jiang Yibo is serious and comforting people, he still has a firm temperament that can calm people's hearts.

Mu Yuansheng also knew his teacher's concern for him, and nodded with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

But then his voice changed: "But in today's competition, I will definitely go all out and strive for the best results!" ”

Jiang Yibo glanced at the firmness in Mu Yuansheng's eyes, and probably understood the meaning of the gold medal behind his 'best results'.

He patted Mu Yuansheng's shoulder, and didn't dissuade him too much, just said, "Okay, since you have made a decision, let's get rid of all the baggage and fight." ”

When Jiang Yibo and Mu Yuansheng returned to the lounge of the Beijing team, Zhang Jianxin also smiled at the two of them, and then said: "Ah Sheng, Xiao Liang, in today's game, you just do your best, you don't need to think too much about anything else." ”

Obviously, the Beijing team also cares about Su Liang and Mu Yuansheng very much, and doesn't want these two promising players to have any changes that affect their state due to pressure in a national championship.

Zhang Jianxin's sentence is telling them - [Skating you, in today's game, there is no task in the team. 】

***

Today's competition site, compared to the previous day, the number of spectators is a lot more, some spectators watched the 1500-meter distance race yesterday, only to know that the first body is going on here in the short track speed skating national championships, after being attracted by the 1500-meter distance race, found that the game can still buy tickets, so they rushed to the scene to watch today's 500-meter event.

Huang Wei also discovered that at today's game, there seemed to be some simple passers-by who were not ice fans who came to watch the game.

This made him quite happy, after all, ice fans, after all, from the curious passers-by to the game a little bit of transformation, there are passers-by to watch the game, it means that the competition is attractive, these passers-by have also become interested in short track speed skating.

So no matter how simple the questions asked by these passers-by, the ice fans on the scene were quite happy to answer popular science.

These passers-by at the scene were indeed attracted by the short track speed skating competition, and they all shouted cheers together when they watched the group preliminaries on the field.

Hu Kan and several of their screenwriters also went to the scene to watch the game and record the material as usual today, and seeing the reactions of these passers-by, they also took the opportunity to interview a few, and they also thought it was quite good.

When he returned to his old position yesterday, Hu Kan was happy - he saw the figure skaters again.

"Yo, how many of you are here again?"

Figure skating fans are generous: "Let's come to see Su Liang!" ”

Hu Kan has collected information for such a long time, of course he knows that Su Liang is good at long distance, so he said: "Yesterday Su Liang won the championship in 1500 meters, the physical consumption is too great, and today's 500 meters may not have any good results, but his senior brother Mu Yuansheng is one of the favorites to win the championship today." ”

Just look at the scene, you can know that Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng have a lot of supporters, and these ice fans also made banners to bring to the scene, and the battle between the two sides is not small.

However, these figure skating fans have obviously evolved into a trend of Su Liang's fans, and they are noncommittal about Hu Kan's statement, anyway, they just support Su Liang.

Hu Kan didn't mind, he also supported Su Liang in his selfish heart - no way, Su Liang was really awesome in yesterday's game, and later after he went back, he found the video of the game through his relationship, and after watching it repeatedly, he came to the conclusion that Su Liang was not an accident to win the championship from a technical and tactical point of view.

If it is possible, in today's 500-meter race, of course he also wants to see Su Liang rush to the final!

But Su Liang's lateral upright start is not the same thing as the ice start of other competitors around him - the current 500-meter world record is basically a point ice start.

After all, 500 meters does not need to pay attention to the start like 1500 meters, and Su Liang does have a natural disadvantage in this short-distance event.

While speaking, the men's 500-meter distance group preliminaries have also started.

Compared with the 1500m group preliminaries, the 500m preliminaries are different, with a total of 11 groups of 4 people in each group of 500m preliminaries, and the top two players advance to the quarter-finals, and then the semi-finalists are determined in the quarter-finals, and then advance to the finals.

Unlike the 1500m, where every race is almost full of six, the 500m race is basically limited to four runners in each group, with a maximum of five runners.

In this way, the speed duel between the players in the arena can be seen more clearly by the audience, but for the players, the time and number of times they compete with each other becomes more complicated.

On the commentary bench at the scene, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng were still responsible for today's whole explanation.

However, relatively speaking, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng are relatively relaxed in the commentary of the preliminary stage, and while analyzing the situation of each preliminary group on the field, they will also introduce some players who are newcomers in a certain year, and what the results are and what the status is.

Even when Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng, the seeded players in the 500-meter distance, appeared, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng were not particularly excited.

As seeded players, Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng's strength has been tested for a long time, and it is almost impossible to be eliminated in the preliminary stage of the National Championships.

is like Liao Yuwei's explanation at this time: "It can be seen that Mu Yuansheng is controlling his sliding speed...... And the opponent behind him has no chance to surpass under his suppression, this is the complete suppression of strength, and the gap between Mu Yuansheng and ordinary players is indeed visible to the naked eye. ”

Lin Fangzheng also nodded and agreed with Liao Yuwei's statement: "Yes, although Mu Yuansheng is not yet 18 years old this year, he does have the top level of adulthood in China. Speaking of which, he and Su Liang are still brothers in the same family......"

Speaking of this, Lin Fangzheng smiled: "This pair of senior brothers will surely become a nightmare for many players in the next few years." ”

Under the explanation of Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng, Mu Yuansheng also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals without any suspense, and the opponents in the same group behind Mu Yuansheng were suppressed by him without any temper.

And after Mu Yuansheng's group of preliminaries ended, two more groups passed, and the preliminaries of the eighth group appeared - it was Su Liang's group.

In the front row of the audience, Nuan Nuan was held in Coach Qin's arms as usual, and Coach Qin and his wife knew it when they saw that the little guy suddenly twisted his little buttocks excitedly.

"Oh, Brother Nuan Nuan is going to play?" Coach Lin teased a little on the side.

Xiao Budian also excitedly 'ang~': "Brother, brother! ”

He held the Transformers in his arms who refused to leave his hand recently, and then excitedly pointed in the direction where his brother was: "Brother game!" Champion! ”

Coach Qin and his wife smiled, not correcting the little guy's good expectations.

There are also ice fans around who know this little guy who came to watch the game for two days in a row, coincidentally, the ice fans sitting here are still supporters of Su Liang, and when they turned their heads and saw Xiao Budian, they thought that Xiao Budian was purely supporting Su Liang, so he also said seriously: "That's right, brother champion!" ”

Saying that, the 4 players led by Su Liang on the field are also ready - the new game is ready to start at this moment!

Chapter 80

In today's preliminaries, Su Liang's random assignment of the pass was okay, in the second lane, but in the 500-meter race, Su Liang's starting style still restricted him.

When the starting gun sounded at the scene, the four figures sprinted from the starting line almost at the same time, kicking off this 500-meter duel.

Su Liang's lateral upright start is indeed not dominant, but the three opponents in the same group as him still have a lot of scruples about him, and it can be seen from the sprinting state at the start that these three players don't want to have too close distance with Su Liang, or they don't want to be in Su Liang's front and rear positions, so from the beginning of the start, these three players rushed extremely hard.

The start on the field made everyone think that this race could be very intense.

Lin Fangzheng was also saying through the camera: "At present, Su Liang is temporarily in fourth place, and the three players in front are temporarily ......."

As a result, before the four words of the lead could be spoken, the three runners in the front of the ranking were unable to control their speed when exiting the corner, and they stumbled one after another, and one of them fell directly off the track.

Just as the other two players were trying to control themselves, Su Liang had already come first and overtook them.

Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng obviously didn't expect that this game would start and end like this.

With Su Liang's transcendence, there was no suspense in the next few laps of the game, so that at the end of the game, the audience at the scene felt that the game was not happy enough.

"Even if it's 1500 meters, why are these 500 meters so afraid of Su Liang?"

Someone in the audience was puzzled.

"Yes, Su Liang's lateral upright start, doesn't it mean that it's better to order the ice style?"

Immediately, some people explained: "The start is the starting point, although the 500-meter start has a relatively large correlation with the final result, but it is not the difference in the starting style that can determine the victory or defeat. ”

"In fact, the main reason is that the strength of these players themselves is not top-notch, their psychological quality is limited, and their experience in the competition is not enough.

After all, the vast majority of people still feel a little regretful that they didn't see the wonderful scenes in this preliminary round, but fortunately, this is only the preliminary stage, and more people are already prepared, just waiting for the exciting scenes of the next quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals.

If you want to say that the only one who is purely happy with the results of the preliminaries, it is probably only Nuan Nuan, who is less than three years old and doesn't know anything, and the little one only knows that his brother is swishing on the ice, and then he dances happily.

After the preliminaries, the ice surface was simply cleared and filled, and the women's quarterfinals also kicked off first.

Liu Yuqing, the talented girl in the 1500m distance, also had an outstanding performance in the 500m race, and in the 500m quarter-finals, she also swept to qualify for the semi-finals, and several women from the national team also qualified in the quarter-finals.

The number of quarter-final participants and promotion methods in the women's and men's groups are all unified, and the 22 people determined from the preliminaries are divided into 5 groups, of which 5 people participate in the first and second groups, and the first place in each group directly qualifies for the semi-finals, and then selects the top three players in the total score from the 2-3 players in each group to obtain the qualification for supplementary promotion.

Compared with the preliminaries, there are only 5 groups in the quarterfinals, and it stands to reason that the three popular players such as Mu Yuansheng, Chu Rui, and Su Liang are very likely to meet in the quarterfinals, but these three actually maintained the state of 'the king does not see the king' when the quarterfinals were drawn.

The trio were drawn for the first, third and fifth group draws.

However, Su Liang did not meet no acquaintances in the quarterfinals - Shi Wenhui, who had met repeatedly in the 1500-meter race before, was drawn to the same group as Su Liang.

When he found out that he was in the same group with Su Liang again, Shi Wenhui no longer had any temper.

Of course, he knew that Su Liang in 500 meters and Su Liang in 1500 meters were not in the same state, but they were no longer in the same state, and Shi Wenhui also felt that he would probably finish the competition in the same group as Su Liang.

If I have to say it, Shi Wenhui, who has only experienced the national league and the national championship and is in the same group as Su Liang, has somewhat suffered from a problem called 'Su Liang's phobia', especially when he faced Su Liang's 'inhuman intelligence', the first time he played with Su Liang, Shi Wenhui witnessed Su Liang's performance in two transcendence opportunities that are difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and accurately chose the right opportunity, coupled with the experience of playing with Su Liang later......

In short, at this time, in the preparation area of the fifth group of the quarterfinals, Shi Wenhui's whole person looked a little wilted.

The other two have never intersected with Su Liang, they only know that Su Liang is very strong, but they don't have Shi Wenhui's mentality of not wanting to face it, they just maintain the vigilance they should have against strong opponents.

In the preparation waiting area of the fifth group, the calmest may be Su Liang himself, no matter who the opponent is, he always maintains the mentality of being stable and serious about every game.

On the field, Mu Yuansheng of the first group has already easily advanced to the semi-finals with the ranking of the first group leader, and Chu Rui in the third group has also ended his game, the two 500 meters away from the old and new generations of kings are about to make up their minds to rush into the finals all the way to the group first, 500 meters whether the new and old thrones can be smoothly alternated, it depends on this time the battle of the championships.

After Chu Rui in the third group successfully advanced to the first place, the quarterfinals of the fourth group also successfully decided the players who directly advanced, and everyone's attention also came to Su Liang in the fifth group from the fourth group.

"The quarter-finalists in the final men's 500m will be on the line." Liao Yuwei's eyes quickly swept the list and continued: "They are Su Liang from the Beijing team, helmet number 988; Shi Wenhui from the Harbin team, helmet number 877; Chi Jiyang from the Hebei Provincial Team, helmet number 832; Liu Songfei from the Heilongjiang Provincial Team, helmet number 812. ”

The paths of the four players are in the same order as those read by Liao Yuwei, from Su Liang to Liu Songfei, from the first to the fourth lane.

Su Liang, who won the group in the preliminaries stage, successfully won the innermost lane in the 500m quarterfinals of this group, which seems to indicate his advantage in this 500m race.

In the audience, because of Su Liang's relaxed performance in the previous preliminaries, some ice fans were laughing and teasing-"This quarter-final will not repeat the situation in the preliminaries, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding ice fans couldn't help laughing.

However, ridicule is ridicule, and many people are indeed looking forward to the possibility proposed by the ice fan.

If it were possible, who wouldn't want to see a talented teenager win as much as possible?

It's best to dominate the 1500m, 500m and 1000m events, and then win him the title of all-round king.

For example, Mu Yuansheng last season won the 500-meter championship all the way at the World Youth Championships, but there is still a lot of distance from the all-around king after all, so that ice fans celebrate and cheer for him, but they inevitably still have some regrets in their hearts.

"Eh, okay, stop talking, the game is about to start!"
