Chapter 130

With the end of the second group of semi-finals, the Chinese team has two players who have advanced to the men's 1500m final of the short track speed skating World Youth Championships.

No one expected that the game had gone on so far, and among the two teams, the Chinese team and the South Korean team, the Chinese team had more people advancing to the finals.

In the first group of the semi-finals, South Korea did not advance in the first group of the semi-finals because of Kang Yeon-ha's foul, and so far only Kim Hyun-deok of the South Korean team has advanced.

In the Huaguo team, two players, Su Liang and Wu Gang, have advanced to the 1500-meter final.

This is undoubtedly a great shame for the South Korean team, which has never been so behind the Chinese team in the 1500m history.

The 1500m is an inherent strength for South Korea's short track speed skating, and the South Korean team's performance in today's World Junior Championships 1500m will undoubtedly be a huge disappointment for all South Korean ice fans.

At this time, South Korean head coach Lee Yong-ha, who was outside the coach's command seat, had a whole face, and he obviously knew that if the players of the South Korean team did not get better results in today's game, then the position of head coach of the South Korean youth team, which he had finally regained, would inevitably be removed again after the end of the World Youth Championships.

At this time, with the end of the second group of semi-finals, the last semi-final competition of the men's 1500m is about to begin.

All the semi-finalists in the men's third group have taken to the ice for their warm-up activities.

Of course, Sun Ruixiang of the Huaguo team is also among the participants in the third group of the semifinals, and many people already know that the semi-final where Er Xiang is located can be said to be the most terrifying semi-final among the three semi-finals of the men's 1500m.

In this semi-final, there will be not only Choi Chang-hee from South Korea, but also Eliezelle Page from Canada, Kazuhei Kobayashi from Japan, Antonio Moro from Italy, and a player from Great Britain.

These 5 contestants can be said to be strong young players.

It's not that Sun Ruixiang is not strong enough, but among these 5 players, Choi Chang-hee was once a new generation of secret weapons highly praised by South Korea, and among the younger generation of South Korean players, it can be said that there are almost no players whose strength can reach or surpass Choi Chang-hee, even Kim Hyun-deok, who has now been forcibly promoted to the position by South Korea, is not Choi Chang-hee's opponent.

As for Eliezelepage, it goes without saying, this is personally certified by Su Liang.

In Su Liang's eyes, Eliezelepage's strength may be a few points stronger than the current captain of the Canadian team.

As for the remaining Kobayashi Ichihei and Antonio Morrow, as well as the player from the United Kingdom, although they are not the top in strength, they can also be said to be equal in terms of strength with Sun Ruixiang.

In a competition composed of these 6 players, Sun Ruixiang wants to break through all difficulties and become one of the two players who finally advance to the finals, which can be said to have little hope.

Outside the on-site competition venue, Pei Jing, the coach of the Huaguo team, and Zhang Dongcheng, the team leader, were also observing the situation on the field.

Although Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng both felt that Sun Ruixiang wanted to advance to the finals, and the hope was a bit slim, from the coach's point of view, they certainly still had the hope that their country's players could advance smoothly.

"Forget it, even if there is no way to advance, this game is also a good training opportunity for Sun Ruixiang."

Pei Jing smiled and said to Zhang Dongcheng: "If ordinary players want to participate in such a death group competition, I am afraid they will not have such a coincidental opportunity." ”

Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and smiled.

Although Pei Jing's words are good, Zhang Dongcheng can also hear a bit of regret, if Sun Ruixiang can successfully advance to the finals, of course, this will be the result that the Huaguo team wants to see the most.

In the casual conversation between Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng, the players on the field were also ready to warm up, and they came to the preparation area, waiting for the command of the starter.

On the field, Sun Ruixiang was only in lane 5 in this match - which means that in terms of quarter-final results, he is only fifth in this group.

Lane 1 to Lane 4 will feature South Korea's Choi Chang-hee, Canada's Eliezelle Page, Japan's Kazuhei Kobayashi and Italy's Antonio Morro, and there will be just one player to the right of Erxiang – a player from Great Britain who barely made it to the semi-finals in the quarter-finals.

Next to the field, South Korea's head coach Lee Yong-ha looked at the direction of Choi Chang-hee on the field with a serious face, and Choi Chang-hee himself looked very calm in the preparation area, giving people a feeling of concentration on the field.

Choi Chang-hee ignored Lee Yong-ha's gaze next to the arena, and all his attention was on the arena in front of him. This event is a chance for Lee Yong-ha to turn over, and for Choi Chang-hee, it is also his only chance and hope to turn over.

In the previous games, Cui Changxi has certainly seen Su Liang's strong strength, but for Cui Changxi, he doesn't think he will really lose much to Su Liang.

As for the players of the Huaguo team other than Su Liang, whether it is Wu Gang or Sun Ruixiang, they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Cui Changxi.

This semi-final will also be a game for Choi Chang-hee to prove his strength and show off his strength, and he will tell the Hua Guo team, Su Liang, and Lee Yong-ha in this game......

Tell everyone in South Korea that he is the only one in the South Korean team!

No matter what kind of death group he is in, he Choi Chang-hee will be the one who will win in the end and stand at the top!

The other players around Choi Chang-hee may have also felt this momentum in Choi Chang-hee's heart, so much so that Eliezelle Page, who was on Choi's right, looked at Choi Chang-hee with a solemn gaze, making him look faintly tense.

Not only Eliezelle Page, but other players such as Kobayashi Kazuhei also had a sense of jealousy in their hearts when they looked at Choi Chang-hee.

And among all the players, the best condition, except for Choi Changxi, may be Sun Ruixiang.

This is not because of Er Xiang's consistent personality, but because of the spiritual encouragement that Su Liang's previous game brought him.

Sun Ruixiang watched with his own eyes, during the lunch break at noon today, Su Liang insisted on playing resolutely in the case of being attacked by a suicidal foul by a South Korean player, and at the same time watched Su Liang persist under Jiang Yanhe's foul attack and steadily won the final semi-final group first.

The strong strength and determination shown by Su Liang, as well as the firmness of the game and the firm pursuit of victory, all made Er Xiang's heart feel like this.

For Er Xiang, the boss of his family is so awesome, and he has to be so determined and extremely persistent in chasing victory, and even under the shameless means of those little sticks in South Korea, he still stood firmly in the face of threats to the end.

His boss was able to win in such a difficult game, so for him, although this game is a group of death, although he does lack hope of victory, but why can't he try to chase it with hope?

The athlete's sports mentality is a wonderful metaphysics - it was at this moment that Erxiang's mentality also underwent some better changes.

He may lose anyway, so let him go all out to fight hard before losing!

Next to the arena, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng looked at Sun Ruixiang on the field, and felt that although Er Xiang was not embarrassed, his state at this moment seemed to have a fire burning behind him.

Looking at Sun Ruixiang's appearance, Pei Jing smiled.

"Although Erxiang's brain is not bright, he has a good mentality in the face of this kind of death group competition."

Zhang Dongcheng also smiled on the side and said, "Yes, this kid's state looks a lot better than usual." Maybe...... Does he have a chance to work miracles? ”

Under everyone's nervous attention, the starter on the scene also issued the first command of the game: "Everyone is in place!" ”

The six runners at the scene came to their respective starting lines at the same time in the sound of instructions from each in place.

The expressions of every competitor on the field were very focused and serious, and they were all waiting for the last two places to advance to the 1500m final.

Even if there is already one place in this competition, which may be destined to fall into the hands of South Korea's Choi Chang-hee, the rest of the players do not have the slightest desire to give up.

Even with Choi Chang-hee's chilling momentum, even if there is little hope, they will not give up the game in front of them!

On the fifth lane of the game, Sun Ruixiang was also ready to wait for the start of the race, his eyes focused on the front.

At the moment when the game was about to start, a sentence that his boss had told him suddenly flashed through his mind.

- See your track and don't be foolish on the ice.

Although Sun Ruixiang didn't think he was reckless in the previous races, since his boss said so, he was also trying to see the track in front of him and try to make himself look calm and steady.

Isn't it just a little more sedate like the first two games?

Pei Jing and Lao Zhang have all praised him!

In the midst of such chaotic thoughts, the next command of the starter sounded again.

As the word preparation sounded, Sun Ruixiang completely excluded all kinds of chaotic thoughts from his mind.

Here it comes.

This was followed by a bang of the starting pistol – the game begins!

In the commentary room of the domestic sports channel, at the same time, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng were also in high spirits at the same time with the sound of this command.

Liao Yuwei said: "The game has begun. ”

By this time, everyone's attention had already turned to the ice.

As the starting gun sounded, the six players on the field had already started their own paces at the same time.

Among the six runners, the fastest start was Canada's Eliezelle Page, who had an explosive start and was able to get straight and into corners, as well as dominate lane 2 of the race, and he was extremely fast from the start of the sprint.

Whether it's the burst of power at the start or the connection between the straight and the corner, Eliezer has been outstanding.

Almost effortlessly, EliezelePage grabbed the innermost lead.

The second person after Eliezer is Sun Ruixiang of the Huaguo team!

Although the act of grabbing the road at the start seems to be a big distance from the behavior of 'steady' that Er Xiang thought at the beginning, in fact, if you think about it calmly, you can know that for Er Xiang, if he wants to get the final qualification for this race, then his personal super physical fitness is one of his biggest dependences.

If he is also like Su Liang or South Korea in this game, and tries to surpass in the final game, then for Erxiang, who is not very good at looking for opportunities to surpass in the game, what awaits him in the end may be the result of missing the qualification.

In the lounge in the backfield, Wu Gang, who had returned to the lounge, and Su Liang, who was in the lounge, were also sitting on chairs in the lounge, quietly watching Sun Ruixiang's game on the field.

"Erxiang's game is not easy to play."

In the quiet lounge, Su Liang suddenly whispered.

And Wu Gang, who was on Su Liang's side, was silent for a while after hearing this, nodded silently, and only responded with a "Hmm." ”

Although everyone is expecting a miracle, everyone also knows that Sun Ruixiang's game is indeed difficult.

Just looking at the situation on the field in front of him, the people who currently occupy the lead and the second place after the lead skating position are indeed Canada's Alize LePage and Sun Ruixiang of the Chinese team.

But behind EliezelePage and Erxiang, Choi Chang-hee of the South Korean team did not fall last like Kim Hyun-deok of South Korea before, but tightly behind Erxiang, and behind Choi Chang-hee, Kobayashi Yiping was also close behind, just waiting for a chance to surpass the players in front.

At present, it is only the beginning of the game, and at this stage, Choi Chang-hee has no intention of launching a strong offensive against the players in front of him, and Er Xiang is only relying on this situation to maintain his advantage for the time being.

Whether it is to overtake EliezelePage in front of him, or to continue to maintain the advantage over other players such as Choi Chang-hee in the back, this is a very big test for Erxiang.

Of course, this is not to say that Erxiang has no hope at all in this game.

Similar to the previous one, this one started very quickly.

However, unlike the previous race, after the fast start of the previous race, many players in front of him were repeatedly competing for the lead position, and in this race, although Erxiang competed for the second position, he did not compete with EliezelePage in front of him for the lead position.

This allowed him to compete for the opportunity to rank high, while also maintaining his physical fitness as much as possible, so as not to lose too much physical energy in the future competition, even if Sun Ruixiang is known for his strong physical fitness, but in such a competition, it is also a very important thing to be able to maintain his physical fitness more and better maintain his condition to the end.

After seizing the lead position from EliezelePage on the first lap of the race, the positions of the riders in this race have not changed much for the time being.

But this calm is clearly just a temptation for the players to test each other.

As the riders at the back noticed that there wasn't a fierce battle for the lead spot in front of them, the riders at the back began to get a little nervous.

Antonio Moro from Italy, who had wanted to wait until the two riders in front of him were battling back and forth for the lead position, and then he would step forward to fight for the lead spot after his fitness was running out.

However, after Eliezer and Sun Ruixiang did not move in front, the race has entered the fourth lap, and Antonio Moro's patience has run out at this stage.

In the previous quarter-finals, Antonio Moro was the one who fought with Russia's Vladislav for the lead spot in the opening round.

Antonio Moro is also an explosive player, and his back-up ability is not very strong, but he has also observed the last semi-final match while absorbing the experience of the last quarter-final game.

That's why Antonio Moro didn't jump out at the start of the game and compete with EliezelePage in front of him for the lead.

In Antonio Moro's thoughts, in today's semi-final, he can quietly wait for EliezelePage and Huaguo's competitor to repeatedly compete for the lead position, and after the two of them have a lot of physical consumption, he can come forward to fight again.

It's a pity that in today's semi-final, the situation of the game did not develop as Antonio Moro thought.

Such a situation was completely unexpected.

At this time, the race has been carried out in the second half of the fourth lap, and the front of EliezelePage and Sun Ruixiang, the two still do not want to fiercely compete for the lead position, if it continues to maintain like this, Antonio Moro's future explosiveness and power advantage will soon be consumed with the progress of the game, so in the following races, it will not be so easy for him to compete for the position of the leader.
