Chapter 119

Wu Gang's victory came unexpectedly, he was originally prepared to go all out to surpass the opponent in the end, but the final smooth promotion seemed a bit effortless.

Japan's Kazuhei Kobayashi was also a little surprised by what was happening behind him, but he quickly withdrew his look of surprise and glanced in the direction of Wu Gang with a slightly curious gaze.

Wu Gang didn't avoid Kobayashi Yiping's gaze, and also looked back at him - Wu Gang's eyes had small pupils, and he didn't look very pleasing in the first place, plus he also had a fierce face in appearance, which was particularly unlikable when superimposed.

But during the game just now, Kobayashi Yiping didn't feel any pushing and shoving actions from Wu Gang other than the regular collision, and he finally guessed that he might have misunderstood this player from Huaguo, so after seeing Wu Gang's calm gaze, he nodded to Wu Gang silently.

Wu Gang didn't care about the softening of Kobayashi Yiping's attitude, but when he played the replay on the electronic large screen at the scene, he immediately paid attention to the replay of the electronic large screen.

He was ready to see what had just happened behind him that led to a big rollover in this race.

Speaking of the big overturn in the short track speed skating competition, in fact, they are not particularly serious this one, because of the characteristics of the short track speed skating project, it is not uncommon for all the players to fall after the last corner and before the finish line on the field, and the lucky players were originally in the last place, and the rest of the opponents fell in the process of overtaking, so only he was left to advance easily.

Wu Gang's main concern is the cause of the accident and whether Olumid, who was originally in third place, could be sentenced to the final.

Generally speaking, a player who will be judged to be a finalist will follow the principle that the player has not fallen due to his own reasons, has been affected by the opponent's foul action, or has been affected by any non-subjective factor.

In this case, the referee has the right to decide whether or not to advance the player to the next round.

However, this rule, which is written in the international rules of short track speed skating, is too broad, so judges will follow additional rules when awarding penalties, i.e. whether the rider is halfway through the race when he falls, and whether the competitor is in a qualifying position or a strong contender for the qualifier when he falls.

These additional penalty conditions can be used to screen out some of the game strategies of sacrificing teammates to protect each other, and also to make the player who enters the next round as a player with 'reasonable qualifications and strength' as much as possible.

When these conditions are applied to the players in this match, it is already clear who is likely to be sentenced to the next round.

Obviously, Olumid was completely innocent in the match just now, he was a strong contender for the promotion position, and he was already in the second half of the game when he was pushed to the ground by the player who forced him to overtake, and he was clinging to Wu Gang of the Hua Guo team, looking for an opportunity to surpass Wu Gang.

When the footage of Olumid falling was replayed on the large electronic screen at the scene, the audience felt sorry for the young player.

The referee at the scene has also called up the live video for review at this time, and finally gave a penalty that everyone can understand and agree with.

In this group of games, Kobayashi Yiping and Wu Gang advanced normally, and Olumid was sentenced to the next round of quarterfinals.

***

In China, on the short track speed skating section of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, ice fans who are also watching the game are also chatting hotly on the forum.

22L: [The intensity of the World Youth Championships doesn't seem to be lost to the World Championships!] 】

33L: [Of course, the domestic junior players actually have collisions and surpasses, but the level is limited, so it doesn't look so exciting, these players in the World Youth Championships, with excellent strength, will not be inferior to the average adult players, they are also more daring to fight, and it is completely normal for the competition to be fierce. 】

36L: [But Wu Gang's luck in this round is good, it was too scary before the start of the game, Coach Pei was desperately gesturing to Wu Gang, was he afraid that Wu Gang would be targeted by the on-site referee, right?] 】

38L: [Harm, don't say it, Wu Gang's face is quite fierce, didn't you pay attention to it when the game started?] Xiao Lin Yiping and Lin Jiaquan couldn't wait to run around Wu Gang when they started the run, they were afraid of being injured by Wu Gang. 】

39L: [That's the humor of this match, Wu Gang was clean all the time, and Olumid was injured by his completely unsuspecting opponent. 】

……

In front of the TV at Coach Qin's house, Xiao Budian's eyes were also shining after seeing Wu Gang cross the line.

Don't look at the young age of the little cub, after all, he is already a 'veteran' ice fan, he can still understand the victory and defeat of short track speed skating - anyway, the sooner he crosses the finish line after the 'jingle bell' bell rings, the better.

After seeing Wu Gang cross the line, Xiao Budian patted the head of the transformer in his arms decently, and said to it seriously: "Just now, you see, my brother won the game just now!" ”

After a pause, Xiao Budian still said proudly: "But it's still Nuan Nuan's brother who is the most powerful!" ”

My brother is number one, and my brother is number two just now - or my brother is the best!

Coach Qin and Coach Lin on the side both smiled when they saw Xiao Bu like this: "You little guy, you're quite biased." ”

Xiao Budian hugged the Transformers and Ultraman Tiga in his arms, looked at Grandpa Qin and Grandma Lin on both sides, and didn't quite understand what Coach Qin meant by eccentricity, so he blinked his eyes and gave the two old men a sweet smile.

When Grandma Lin saw his smile, her heart was warmed, she touched the little guy's head, and glared at Coach Qin: "What's wrong with our Nuan Nuan eccentricity?" What's wrong with being partial to his own brother? ”

The two old men watched the game with Nuan Nuan, and commented on the players on the ice while watching.

The two chatted and chatted about Su Liang again.

"Xiao Liang, this kid, is really powerful, these short track World Youth Championships players are much older than him, and he is not scared at all, it is his figure, how do I think it is more suitable for our figure skating...... Alas, what a pity. ”

Coach Qin also sighed: "Who said it wasn't?" This body, thin and thin, is not thin, and the strength and muscles in the body are there, didn't we watch those videos he recorded for Liang Huasheng before? There is also a video of him jumping on the ice recorded by Liu Wujun...... His jump, speed, strength, and altitude are very good, and the triple jump is obviously surplus, let's figure skate here, saying that someone can jump quadruple jumps, but in the end they are all 4T, I look at Xiao Liang's jump, I really want to get on 4T, I'm afraid it's not impossible to succeed if it's barely possible. ”

Coach Lin also sighed: "Before Xiao Jiang said that this child has measured his bone age, and he can grow to more than one meter and eight in the future. ”

After a pause, Coach Lin shook his head again: "Alas, this development level does not mean that it can't be survived, although there is a quadruple jump now, the high-quality triple jump is still the mainstream, and the difficulty of being able to have a high-level triple triple jump is enough...... Coupled with this child's artistic expression, sense of belief and that kind of appeal on the ice, this is the first boy we have been coaching for so long and has such a good talent. ”

Speaking of this, Coach Lin looked in the direction of the TV and said with a wry smile: "In the end, Xiaoliang, this kid, is still on short track speed skating, so we can't ask for it." ”

The two old coaches will talk like this in private for a while, and they really feel sorry for Su Liang, but Su Liang's love and persistence for short track speed skating, and his talent on the ice, the two old coaches also see it, so they can only sigh in private.

While the two were talking, the competition on the field had already appeared from the ninth group to the 13th group - Sun Erxiang's game was in this one, and he had also followed the players in the same group to the arena at this moment.

Sun Erxiang's group, the situation is similar to Wu Gang's group, also in addition to Sun Erxiang, there are two players who have already participated in the World Youth Championships, but compared with Wu Gang, Sun Erxiang's group of players is not as strong as Olumid and Kobayashi Yiping, in the last World Youth Championships, they are only barely into the semi-finals, and there is no outstanding performance in the semi-finals.

But even so, their strength in the preliminary group is not to be underestimated.

In this group, Sun Erxiang, who is tall and tall, is also the tallest player in the same group, but although he is tall and big, he doesn't look like Wu Gang, so the players in the same group have no additional fear of him.

Coincidentally, in the same group as Sun Erxiang, there is also a player from the Huaguo Taipei team, Zhao Yongjia.

Compared with Lin Jiaquan, Zhao Yongjia seems to be more uncomfortable with being on the international competition, and at this time, he has just appeared in a state of obvious nervousness, his face is tense, and his warm-up skating action is not very smooth.

Er Xiang didn't know why, after paying attention to Zhao Yongjia's state, he remembered what his boss told him when he was watching the game in the backcourt lounge - if you encounter a situation where a competitor is rushing, control your own state at the second start, and don't be affected by the atmosphere of the opponents around you.

After this sentence crossed his mind, Sun Erxiang scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" ”

However, although he thought in his heart that 'it would not be such a coincidence', he still honestly remembered what his family boss said to him.

After confirming that all the competitors were in the preparation area, the on-site starter quickly gave the command of 'all in place', and the runners in Group 13 quickly slid to the starting line of their own course.

In this group of games, Sun Ruixiang's path is in the innermost lane, and on the third lane of the two positions on his right-hand side is the Taipei player Zhao Yongjia who looks overly nervous.

When they were in position before sliding to the starting line, Sun Ruixiang was deeply impressed by Zhao Yongjia's nervous state, and paid special attention to Zhao Yongjia on the third track, and found that with the sound of the starter's command, this Zhao Yongjia did not relax, but became more and more tense.

This does not bode well.

In the commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng also observed Zhao Yongjia's state through the commentary screen.

The two raised their eyebrows, and they both felt that this player of the Taipei team might have a certain impact on the smooth development of the game - the fact is indeed as judged by the two, when the starter on the scene gave the 'ready' order, Zhao Yongjia had already rushed ahead before the starting gun sounded.

This rush is so obvious that the players in the same group as him also found out that something was wrong, so when the starting gun sounded, the players on the scene did not start, and the starter had already blown the whistle of the violation at this time - the third Zhao Yongjia, the rush violation.

This Zhao Yongjia's rush may be because he was too nervous in front of him, so it did not have any impact on the other 5 players in the same group, such as Sun Ruixiang, these players all had a feeling of 'sure enough', after the starter announced the violation, they quickly returned to the preparation area under the instructions of the starter.

The game quickly restarted, and the only player who was in a more tense state to explode because he had already rushed to the point of violating the rules once was Zhao Yongjia himself.

In the commentary room of the sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng did not relax because the other players did not seem to be affected.

Liao Yuwei's brows furrowed slightly: "The current state of Zhao Yongjia, the player on the third lane, may be a time bomb in this group of games." ”

Lin Fangzheng also nodded in agreement with Liao Yuwei's statement.

There is no other reason, if Zhao Yongjia is still nervous to the second round of running, then it will be nothing if he is sent off directly, but if he is not sent off and the game continues to go on normally, then Zhao Yongjia's rational judgment of the situation on the field will decline, and then in the relatively confrontational competition of short track speed skating, it may cause some bad consequences.

Just like the player who made a mistake in judgment and chose to forcibly overtake in the ninth group of the previous game, but he couldn't control himself, and he fouled and fell and pushed and affected others.

It's just that no matter how nervous and worried everyone is, the game on the ice has started to move forward normally.

When the starter on the scene gave the instructions of 'each in place' and 'ready', this time Zhao Yongjia successfully controlled his state before the starting gun sounded - this time, the game started smoothly!

Maybe it was because Zhao Yongjia rushed to run in the first round, or maybe it was because it was the 1500-meter start at the same time, after the starting gun sounded, the players in this group were not particularly competing for the innermost leading position - except for Zhao Yongjia.

Zhao Yongjia should also be aware of his over-nervousness, and at the same time, he also knows that his strength is not good, if he doesn't work hard at the beginning, then it will be very difficult for him to surpass in the middle and late stages, which is also the tactical policy given to them by their coach.

So after a smooth start in this round, Zhao Yongjia gritted his teeth and began to fight directly for the leading position in the front according to his coach's guidance.

Because Sun Ruixiang was in the innermost lane and had abundant physical reserves, he originally wanted to grab the front leading position to try, so when Zhao Yongjia approached the innermost lane, a thought of 'do you want to grab it' flashed in his mind.

There was a momentary impulse in his heart, but he suddenly thought of the almost prophetic sentence that his family boss had said to him earlier.

What is it exactly?

He doesn't remember much at this point, but anyway—it's better to be cautious.

With such thoughts, Sun Ruixiang, who had always been reckless in the competition, slightly restrained his movements, and did not compete with Zhao Yongjia for the position of the leader, or even for the second position.

According to Sun Ruixiang's simple brain circuit, if Zhao Yongjia is too nervous, it will definitely affect the players in his front and back positions, and now that Zhao Yongjia is leading the skating, then there is only one player in the back position to be careful - isn't this the second place?

So following this brain circuit, he stuck himself in the third position after some 'hard fighting'.

This position is just right, there is no need to be close to Zhao Yongjia, and it is the closest to the top two in the promotion position, which can be regarded as a position that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

***

On the coach's command seat next to the field, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng were standing on the edge of the command department, Pei Jing originally wanted to signal Sun Ruixiang not to rush too far forward at the beginning, but at this time, he saw that Sun Erxiang on the field had not waited for him to command, and he had already temporarily fallen behind.

Pei Jing's eyes were a little surprised: "This Sun Ruixiang, didn't Li Yunlong say that he would be reckless?" In today's preliminaries, I think his strategy is quite good, right? Isn't that quite smart? ”

Zhang Dongcheng also knows a little about these players in the national youth team, and Sun Ruixiang is one of the most famous second-class goods, so he originally thought that Sun Ruixiang would also go on a rampage in this preliminaries, but the situation in front of him also surprised him.

"It's a strange thing, it's a good performance now!"

It's good, and Sun Ruixiang's choice is really correct.

Zhao Yongjia in front of him is indeed still in a tense state, which makes his body limbs not as flexible as usual, in short track speed skating, which can reach a maximum speed of forty or fifty kilometers per hour, what will be the result of insufficient body flexibility and lack of control?

There is no doubt about it - a fall is already the least consequence.

At the beginning, Zhao Yongjia, who led the skating, was able to barely maintain his skating, but with the passage of time and laps, the closer the race got to the second half of the race, the greater Zhao Yongjia's physical exertion, and the violent flow of physical fitness naturally brought about the weakening of body control.

On the sixth lap of the race, Zhao Yongjia lost control of his movements while cornering and fell directly into the guardrail crash wall outside the track, which also announced the end of his impact on the race.

As Zhao Yongjia fell out of the arena, the competition on the field also entered the most intense stage, these players on the field did not have obvious transcendence and temptation in the first half, as the game entered the fierce climax stage, the previous temptation and transcendence also appeared at the same time.

However, as Sun Erxiang thought before, his position is indeed offensive and defensible, and after Zhao Yongjia fell off the track, he was already naturally in the promotion position - and for a physical monster like him, being able to be in the promotion position has nothing to worry about in the second half.

As the bell rang for the last lap, Sun Ruixiang always held on to the second position, and also won the place to advance to the quarterfinals in his group of competitions!

Chapter 120

When Sun Ruixiang left, Pei Jing patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Good boy, yes, this time he played quite steadily." ”

Erxiang, who has always been reckless on the ice and has been taught that he is not calm enough on the ice, this is the first time I have heard someone praise him for his steadiness.

"Hey, no...... My boss taught me well. ”

Sun Erxiang scratched his head and smirked.
