It was with this in mind that neither Vladislav nor Antonio would give up the lead position, and in the first four laps alone, the positions between the two men were alternated several times.

On the coach's command seat at the scene, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng saw such a fierce alternate competition on the field, and they both pinched a cold sweat in their hearts - fortunately, Sun Ruixiang had no impulse.

According to Sun Ruixiang's habits in those domestic competitions before the World Youth Championships, he probably has to come up and compete for a leading position to skate first, relying on his physical fitness and endurance to be good, and he has to go to the front to waste.

Pei Jing said with emotion: "This kid, when it comes to the international competition, his brain is finally smarter. ”

Zhang Dongcheng nodded: "People are indeed a little more stable." ”

Not only did the two of them think so, but Sun Ruixiang, who was following Cui Changxi on the ice and sliding, also had a scared thought in his heart at this moment - the boss reminded him that he was not wrong! He just has to be 'steady', if he thinks before the game, he will play the ring tactics directly, probably the person who grabbed the lead in the first few laps will not be the Russian Coach and the Italian Neo, and he will have to add him.

The thoughts in his mind flashed around like this, and Sun Ruixiang also discovered another benefit of 'stability'.

When he was rushing in front of him before, he didn't have the energy to think about anything else at this time, and his mind was on how not to be caught up from behind.

And now, he still has time to think about these things!

But in fact, he couldn't think too much, that is, after a flash of kung fu, he suddenly found that Cui Changxi in front of him had a new move!

This little stick, he has heard his boss's evaluation, and knows that he is very smart.

Sun Ruixiang has an advantage, he knows that he is not too smart, but he is willing to be obedient and willing to follow smart people.

As for whether this smart guy is his boss or a little stick - it doesn't matter, as long as the game can be won!

So when he noticed that Choi Chang-hee was controlling his speed to open the distance between him and the Rav and Neo in front of him, he knew - this is what his boss often does! This little stick is going above and beyond in preparation!

So can he put a little stick beyond himself and be indifferent?

Surely not!

Sun Ruixiang also controlled his speed, slightly opening up a little distance between himself and the small stick in front of him enough for him to start speed.

It's just that when Sun Ruixiang controlled the speed, the two Ukrainian and French players behind him seemed to feel that there was hope of surpassing them, and they were a little ready to move - and took direct action.

Sun Ruixiang felt the threat of the opponent in the rear, but he didn't care, he directly let the inside way out.

Cui Changxi in front of him has already taken advantage of the stage of the curve to surpass the past from the gap between the inner path of what Raf and what Neo, Sun Ruixiang asked himself if he can't do this kind of inner way transcendence, but it doesn't matter, he can go from the outside road!

When the Raff and Neo in front of him patronized Cui Changxi who was paying attention to the front, Sun Ruixiang also moved, after coming out of the corner, he had already placed directly on the outer road, and began to continuously increase the speed of the knife under his feet, and he simply pulled a large circle directly on the outer road, and forced all the way forward with his speed!

Vladislav and Antonio in front of them originally focused on Choi Chang-hee, who suddenly surpassed, and by the time they discovered the transcendence of Sun Ruixiang, it was too late...... Or rather, there is nothing to stop it.

It was the ninth lap of the 1500m race, and Vladislav and Antonio's explosiveness and power had been depleted by this stage, and their speed and endurance had been severely depleted at this stage.

If they still have the energy to surpass and compete for the lead in the future, then all they can do at this point is barely hold on to their position.

So in the blink of an eye, the ranking of players on the ice became Choi Chang-hee first, Son Ruixiang second, and Vladislav and Antonio were not much apart for the time being.

Behind the two of them, the two men from France and the five-carat are looking for their mistakes and trying to get past them both for a place in the promotion.

Vladislav and Antonio are no longer able to catch up with Choi Chang-hee and Son Ruixiang in front of them, but they certainly won't want to give the players behind a chance to press them to the end at such a time.

But none of this has anything to do with Choi Chang-hee and Sun Ruixiang in front of him.

In the last few laps of the race, Choi Chang-hee always led the skating in front steadily, and Sun Ruixiang did not mean to provoke Choi Chang-hee, and honestly followed the skating in the second position.

Behind them, Vladislav and Antonio were overtaken by the French on lap 12, but on the final lap and half, Antonio regained his chance to overtake the French man and secure a place in the semi-finals.

When Choi Chang-hee, Son Ruixiang and Antonio passed the line one after another, the promotion places for this group of games have also had the final answer.

On the coach's seat on the side, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng also smiled and applauded after seeing Sun Ruixiang's smooth promotion.

In China, in the commentary room of the sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng were also praising Sun Ruixiang with a smile.

"Not bad." Liao Yuwei said with a smile: "Today's two consecutive preliminaries and quarterfinals, my country's player Sun Ruixiang performed very well, and there is a big difference from his past competitive performance. ”

Lin Fangzheng also smiled: "In the past, we always knew that Sun Ruixiang was a somewhat careless and reckless player, but this time the World Youth Championships really made people look at him." ”

When Er Xiang saw his results and then got off the ice, the smirk on his face finally came out again.

Pei Jing patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, your boss taught him again?" ”

Sun Erxiang hehe: "That's it!" It's all my boss who taught it well! ”

Seeing the sneering smile on Sun Erxiang's face, Pei Jing shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you kid, it seems that you don't like you Coach Li doesn't teach well, right?" Why don't I just make a phone call and go back and talk to you Coach Li? ”

Sun Erxiang was immediately stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head frantically: "That's no, that's no, my Coach Li teaches well!" Lao Li teaches one thing, my boss teaches another, and both of them teach well! ”

Seeing Sun Erxiang's crazy shaking of his head, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng laughed: "Okay, look at you kid like this, I won't sue you!" ”

After getting the assurance of Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng, Sun Eryi finally got happy again, scratched his head, and thought to himself - it looks really good to be 'steady', and in the next game, he has to continue to be steady and steady!

Chapter 123

In the quarterfinals in the morning, Su Liang, Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang were completely connected in the order of appearance, and when Er Xiang left, Wu Gang also came to play.

In the quarterfinals, Wu Gang was joined by another South Korean player, Kang Yeon-ha.

Compared with Er Xiang, who was very happy to be able to advance smoothly, the look on Wu Gang's face was difficult for people to see through his true thoughts.

After Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng encouraged Erxiang, they turned their attention to Wu Gang, who was already on the ice.

"I heard Lao Jia say that this kid has a stinky and hard temper, he is very strong, and he won't want to fight for second when he can compete for the first, and at this time, he will fight fiercely against Jiang Yanhe in South Korea."

Zhang Dongcheng nodded.

As the leader of the short track speed skating team, he is not completely familiar with the temper of all the players in the national team, but he understands most of the players, and this time he led the team to participate in the World Youth Championships, he naturally got to the bottom of the temperament of the competitors in advance.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the character of winning strongly, that is, they are somewhat worried about the game against the little stick, but no matter how worried they are, all they can do is wait and pay attention.

"Let's see."

Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng frowned, stood in the coach's command seat, and waited for the start of this game together.

***

On the ice, Wu Gang's face still had the vicious look of wanting to eat people, even if he didn't have any unclean actions in the preliminaries, but the opponents around him subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.

In this match, he was in the second lane, and next to him to the left hand was South Korea's Kang Yeon-ha.

Jiang Yanhe also glanced at Wu Gang before the match, but unlike the pure avoidance in the eyes of the other players, the gaze he looked at Wu Gang revealed a hint of extra viciousness.

During the time when Choi Chang-hee H-go was the 'sinner' of South Korean short track speed skating, Kang Yeon-ha and Kim Hyun-deok also enjoyed the highest treatment in the team.

But after the World Cup Huaguo Jingshi match, after the two of them returned to South Korea, overwhelming abuse also came to them, and they also became the 'sinners' in the team like Choi Chang-hee and Ko Jae-yong.

The boundless humiliation and abuse made Jiang Yanhe's heart more and more distorted, and after seeing that there was an opponent from Huaguo in today's arena, he couldn't help but feel a strong malice in his heart.

And when his eyes swept to the coach Li Yonghe at the coach's command seat on the side, he understood the meaning of Coach Li Yonghe from Li Yonghe's action of holding his arms with both hands - victory.

Yes.

He had to win – only by beating the Chinese players in every match could he prove their mettle and let all those who humiliated and abused them know that his previous defeat was just an accident.

The thoughts in Jiang Yanhe's mind were constantly changing at this moment, and it was only after a moment that he withdrew his poisonous gaze from Wu Gang.

Wait a little longer, he needs to be more cautious - at least not let anyone grab him.

After landing on the ice, Wu Gang always kept his face calm, and he was obviously aware of Jiang Yanhe's ill-intentioned gaze next to him, but after he looked back, Jiang Yanhe had already withdrawn his gaze.

Wu Gang's brows furrowed, making his expression look more vicious, and he made no secret of his gaze, so he once again attracted the attention of the referee on the ice, but now that the game has not started, Wu Gang has not obviously interfered with the opponent's movements, and the referee can only pay more attention to this male-looking player from Huaguo.

Of course, Wu Gang also noticed the referee's attention, but he didn't care.

He does want to win, and he does have his eye on the South Korean opponent, but he doesn't bother to use the usual small moves of Zheng Tuo or South Koreans to win.

What he wants is a dignified victory—just like he always wants to win with his own strength over Su Liang, whom he hates the most.

On the coach's seat next to the arena, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng had no way to deal with Wu Gang's appearance, just like figure skating next door, some players just have a referee's fate, and some players just can't please the referee.

Fortunately, short track speed skating is not a scoring event like figure skating after all, otherwise Wu Gang is afraid that he will not be able to get any benefits on the ice.

In the lounge at the back, Su Liang had already taken off his skating suit, and the masseur was already ready in the lounge and began to relax the tense muscles of Su Liang's body.

At this time, the TV in the lounge was also playing the live broadcast of the live game, and the live broadcast camera swept to Wu Gang, and the team doctors on the side all sighed: "Wu Gang, this kid, is obviously also very good-tempered, but he was delayed by his face, and everyone looks like he wants to fight with someone." ”

Su Liang, who was lying on the massage table, didn't expect to hear the team's evaluation of Wu Gang, but he asked himself that he didn't know much about Wu Gang, so he didn't join the team doctor and masseur's discussion of Wu Gang.

After listening briefly, Su Liang knew that the team doctor had something before, and it happened that Wu Gang passed by to help, which was about a trivial matter, but after that, Wu Gang helped him with the same thing many times, and the team doctor remembered that Wu Gang was good.

"Wu Gang, this kid, don't look at such a fierce face, in fact, he is also delicate in his hands, that is, his face is fierce and he speaks fiercely, a good sentence is like a cannon in his mouth, so that people feel that he is not easy to get along with when they hear it. Actually, you asked him to help, didn't he help without saying a word? ”

Speaking of this, the team doctor shook his head: "There are people here, talking is to help communication, and this Wu Gang is the kind of typical person who is better than not opening his mouth." ”

Su Liang, who was lying on the massage table, was silent for a long time, remembering that Sun Eryi always planned to talk to Wu Gang, and then was coldly asked by Wu Gang, "What's wrong?" Two words to scare away the story.

I don't know why, Wu Gang's image suddenly turned into a steel-toothed white rabbit with inverted triangular hanging eyes and a fierce look in Su Liang's mind.

Su Liang: ......

Once this impression was formed, it suddenly solidified inexplicably, making Su Liang feel a subtle and complicated mood when he was lying on his stomach and looking at the TV at this time.

But no matter whether it is subtle or not, he knows anyway that this idea of his must not be known to Wu Gang, otherwise he will probably be able to personally experience the iron fist of a steel-toothed little white rabbit, right?

：）

***

On the ice, the steel-toothed white rabbit ...... No, it was Wu Gang and his opponents in the same group who had already assembled in the preparation area, and in the command of the starter to 'take their places', the six contestants quickly came to their respective starting lines.

From the first lane to the sixth lane, they were Jiang Yanhe, Wu Gang and several players from Canada, the United States, Romania, and Belgium.

In addition to Jiang Yanhe, Emmanuel Akiloba from Canada and Chris Royster from the United States are also opponents that the coaching staff has specially reminded the players to pay attention to.

Canada's Emmanuel Aquiloba was the player who was taken by the head coach of the Canadian team to observe the opponents during the pre-match adaptation training of the teams - for now, Emmanuel is much more interesting than Eliezer Lepage.

Wu Gang had already observed these opponents during the warm-up, but he was more concerned about South Korea's Kang Yeon-ha to his left.

Perhaps feeling the attention from Wu Gang, Jiang Yanhe also paid attention to the Huaguo player on his right hand after reaching the starting line and standing still.

At this time, Wu Gang had already focused on the ice in front of the arena, and did not pay attention to other visual interference from the surroundings.

After observing the preparation of all the players, the starter at the scene also quickly gave a new command - "Ready!" ”

The 6 players present lowered their upper bodies at the same time, swung their arms high, prepared their respective postures, and remained still at the same time, and then only heard the sound of the starting gun with a 'bang' - the game officially began!

In the commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng were also relieved after paying attention to the smooth start of this group of runners.

Liao Yuwei then said with a smile: "Since the first group of runners failed to start three times, in the next two groups of races, Mr. Lin and I always can't help but pay attention to whether the runners can start smoothly, and after seeing the runners start smoothly, we have to breathe a sigh of relief. ”

The ice fans who were also insisting on watching the game in front of the TV also showed a rare and relaxed smile after hearing Liao Yuwei's words.
