The second lap was quickly over, and the four riders on the ice were already on the third lap.

As the course of the game changed, Choi Hyun-tae's heart became heavier and heavier.

In fact, until this time, Choi Hyun Tae still wanted to do as much as possible to surpass the Canadian player Julian in front of him and complete his task of advancing to the 500m final, but as the race entered the stage of the third lap, Choi Hyun Tae found that Julian in front of him had a very tight control of the inside lane, so he could not find the slightest opportunity to overtake him.

- This is not good news for him, unable to complete the overtaking of Julian means two things, first, he will not be able to advance to the 500m final, and second, even if he gives up the competition for the final qualification, if he can't overtake Julian Palmer in front of him, then it means that he can't directly find a foul on Mu Yuansheng.

At this point, the whole game is already halfway through, and Choi Hyun Tae has no more opportunities for him to hesitate.

You know what kind of outcome I want to see. 】

Before the start of the game, coach Lee Yong-ha's advice to them was still echoing in Choi Hyun-tae's mind - Choi Chang-hee could ignore coach Lee Yong-ha's advice, but he couldn't.

Thinking of this, Choi Hyun-tae's eyes darkened, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.

Originally, he was in the heel position behind Julian, and the distance between him and Julian Palmer was very close, but at this moment, as the decision in his heart fell, he moved closer to Julian in front of him.

Julian, who was in the front, clearly felt the approach of Choi Hyun Tae in the rear, but he only maintained the blockade of the inner lane, ensuring that Choi Hyun Tae in the rear could not complete the overtaking of him from the inner lane.

It's a pity that Julian is still thinking too simply.

As they entered the area at the end of the straight, and were about to start sliding into the corner, he felt a collision force from behind - it seemed to be an accidental collision during the glide, which may have been slightly stronger than a simple collision, but it was enough for Julian to control his body at this critical stage of the corner, so that he neglected to block his own path and the inside lane.

Julian made a mistake, and it was just a very small mistake, but he had a South Korean player Choi Hyun Tae eyeing him from behind.

Even though the gap in the inner lane exposed by Julian is very narrow, Choi Hyun-tae in the rear still forcibly completes the action of overtaking forward from the inner lane in this narrow gap.

By the time Julian readjusted his form and controlled the inner lane, it was already too late - Choi Hyun-tae had already overtaken him.

But at the same time, this is also an extremely reluctant transcendence, although Cui Xiantai barely completed this transcendence, but his body lost control after overtaking to Julian's front - also at the same time, in the position of the semi-final group 2 preparation area, Su Liang suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted while seeing Cui Xiantai's body out of control-

"Dangerous !!"

Choi Hyun-tae completed this extremely dangerous overtake in the corner, and at the same time that he completed the overtake and lost control of his body, he had already entered the exit stage, and not far in front of him was Mu Yuansheng, who was about to exit the corner.

Cui Xiantai had already fallen to the ice the moment his body lost control, and when he fell, his body may have been out of inertia, and the direction he fell out of it happened to be towards the position of Mu Yuansheng in front of him, and when he fell, he had already hugged his head first, and raised his feet, and the ice blade array on the soles of his feet stabbed in the direction of Mu Yuansheng at the same time!

"Ah Sheng! Move!!! ”

This huge change almost came in a flash of lightning, and with Choi Hyun-tae's fall, Canada's Julian, who had already stabilized his body, was affected again, lost control, and also fell out of the ice.

Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng on the side, the two of them were stunned at this moment, Mu Yuansheng in front did not fall because of Cui Xiantai's fall, but he may be cut by Cui Xiantai's ice blade because of the misjudgment of the situation in the rear.

Fortunately, Mu Yuansheng, who was in front, was also keenly aware of the danger coming from the rear after sensing the collision sound from behind, so he quickly turned around for the first time and saw Cui Xiantai who fell and the skate blade he stabbed in his direction, and dodged the skate threat from Cui Xiantai in time.

After seeing Mu Yuansheng successfully avoid Cui Xiantai's skates, in the coach's command seat on the side, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng almost collapsed and held on to the anti-collision sponge wall next to the arena.

It was also at the same time that the on-site starter finally blew the whistle in his hand and recalled the contestants in this group on the grounds that there was an uncontrollable accident in the event.

Chapter 142

A halfway point event was aborted due to a sudden unforeseen circumstance.

Because the process of this accident happened so quickly, the audience at the scene exclaimed in surprise when the starter blew the whistle to announce the suspension of the competition and the recall of the contestants.

Not only the audience at the scene, but also Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng in the commentary room of the domestic sports channel also had time to introduce the current situation on the field after the starter blew the whistle.

"The current situation should be that South Korea's Choi Hyun Tae failed to control his form when he overtook Canada's Julian, and there was a series of accidents that followed."

"The current fall on the ice is Choi Hyun Tae from South Korea, and Julian Palmer from Canada, Choi Hyun Tae fell in the direction of my country's player Mu Yuansheng when he fell, and at the same time there was an obvious movement of lifting his feet upward, this action is very dangerous, he did not put away the skates well, once he collided with other players at this time, it is very likely that the sharp skates will threaten other players with cuts."

Lin Fang was explaining the above series of situations at an extremely fast pace, and you could hear the tension in his mood at the moment and the anger hidden under his tone.

Short track speed skating is a very dangerous sport, and there are various things that can cause players to fall during the competition, and as professional short track speed skaters, players have learned how to protect themselves as much as possible when they fall, and at the same time reduce the threat to others.

But the South Korean Choi Hyun Tae still made a move that was extremely threatening to the rest of the fighters while just falling.

In this unexpected process, no one can prove whether Cui Xiantai deliberately made such a threatening action and fell in the direction of Mu Yuansheng at the same time, but the threat caused by Cui Xiantai's foot-lifting action at the moment when he fell to Mu Yuansheng was real.

Liao Yuwei, who was beside Lin Fangzheng, also looked extremely angry, she secretly took a few breaths, tried her best to calm her emotions, and then readjusted her speaking state and picked up Lin Fangzheng's words.

"At present, the starter on the scene has recalled the players in this group because of this accident that affects the normal game, so the players in this group will restart the game after the referee team and the starter confirm that the players have no problems."

Speaking of this, Liao Yuwei paused slightly, turned her head and asked Lin Fangzheng: "Mr. Lin, we saw that it was South Korea's Choi Hyun-tae in the game just now, because of the forced overtaking, and the next series of accidents, so did Choi Hyun-tae's action cause a foul?" ”

As a commentary on the old qualifications, Liao Yuwei is still very accurate in judging the fouls of ordinary players under the usual event rules, but the series of accidents just happened too suddenly, and Liao Yuwei did not observe the situation very carefully at the moment when the accident just happened, so now she can't make a clear judgment on whether Cui Xiantai has committed a foul.

Hearing Liao Yuwei's question, Lin Fangzheng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say now, the accident happened too quickly, there are some details that I didn't observe clearly, if Cui Xiantai caused any collision in the process of overtaking and caused a series of accidents, then Cui Xiantai is likely to be judged to be fouled, but I vaguely remember that the series of accidents just now occurred after Cui Xiantai had completed the overtaking...... If that's the case, then Choi Hyun is too likely to get a foul penalty. ”

……

The moment the domestic ice fans saw this unexpected situation, almost everyone exclaimed, but fortunately, Mu Yuansheng of the Huaguo team did not have any accidents in the end, which finally made the ice fans breathe a sigh of relief.

But after breathing a sigh of relief, after hearing Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng's explanation, many people immediately felt that the green tendons on their foreheads jumped out.

Ice fans in the short track speed skating section of the Ice Kingdom are also angrily discussing the current situation.

[He forcibly surpassed that little stick just now without being sure at all, right? His forced overtake caused this result, can he still not give a foul? 】

[I think this must be a foul action, why did Mr. Lin say that it is possible not to be punished for a foul?!] 】

[yes, and isn't there a foul rule that is a dangerous move?] Kicking the skate blade during the race or before the finish sprint, he must have kicked the skate blade with that little stick just now, can't this be a penalty? 】

[Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and get this little stick away for me, it's disgusting! This race has just reached the 4th lap, I see that the lap keepers are about to start ringing, such a thing, and there is a rematch! Just now, Mu Yuansheng was firmly ahead of the whole process, and when he turned back to the rematch, he didn't know what was going to happen. 】

[According to me, shouldn't I blow the whistle to recall the players in the last lap and a half, and let Mu Yuansheng and that Russian Arseni skate through the whole race and advance smoothly, wouldn't it be over?] 】

Everyone in the forum said a word, and the discussion was filled with righteous indignation.

In the coach's dormitory building of the national team, Jiang Yibo, who went to Coach Qin's house to watch the game at night with Nuan Nuan Nuan and his wife, was already pale.

If it weren't for the scruples of holding Nuan Nuan in his arms and not being able to swear, Jiang Yibo would have scolded by this time.

Coach Qin and Coach Lin on the side saw Jiang Yibo's iron-green face, and twisted their brows, Coach Qin asked first: "Little Jiang, I don't know much about the rules of short track speed skating, just this South Korean player, can he not judge a foul?" ”

Hearing this question, Jiang Yibo silently raised a hand and rubbed his forehead: "It is possible that the view of short track speed skating has a certain elastic scale, it depends on how the referee team decides." In addition to some penalties with clear evidence, it is indeed possible that Choi Hyun-tae's actions just now will not be punished for a foul. ”

"This Cui Hyun Tae just now, he didn't collide with Julian when he overtook the next accidents, his fall was after the overtaking, because he couldn't control his body, so he fell, and Julian's fall was also because Cui Hyun Tae was affected by him after he fell, and this was not Cui Hyun Tae's subjective and intentional behavior."

"Including the kicking knife after he fell, the action can be completely explained as that he couldn't control his movements after falling, so he had a kicking knife action, and he didn't deliberately want to make a kicking knife threat to any other contestant."

When Jiang Yibo explained this series of possibilities, he only felt that his temples were suddenly jumping.

Although he can understand rationally that this is entirely possible as a pure accident, once he is contaminated with the South Korean player,

Jiang Yibo does not think that the series of actions made by Cui Xiantai are truly innocent.

It's just that he is not a member of the on-site referee team, so there is no way to give any interference to the on-site referee team, and can only see how the referee team decides, this unexpected situation.

After hearing Jiang Yibo's explanation, Coach Qin and his wife also frowned tightly.

"These South Korean players ......"

The two old men also sulked because of the unexpected situation in front of them, and only a little little more than three years old in the whole room didn't know what was going on at this moment.

The little guy who was still happily watching the game raised his head and looked at his father at this time, and then turned his head to look at Grandpa Qin and Grandma Lin on the side, even if he was young, the little guy also felt that the adults in the living room were emotionally wrong at this time.

The little guy didn't speak, but stood up from his little stool, stretched out his little fleshy hand in front of his father, Grandpa Qin, and Grandma Lin, and touched the back of the hands of several adults - in fact, he wanted to touch the heads of adults, usually when he was sad, his father and brother comforted him in this way, so the little guy remembered this action.

Although Xiao Budian didn't say any fairy words to appease adults, his action also eased the mood of Jiang Yibo and Coach Qin and his wife who were present.

"Hey, we're so good."

After several people smiled and thanked Nuan Nuan, they looked up at the live TV broadcast in front of them again, waiting for the final penalty result in this live TV broadcast.

***

At the Budapest game, the game was temporarily suspended due to the accident in front of them, and the referee team at the scene was urgently discussing how to determine the responsibility of the players in the game.

In the audience, the staff from Huaguo and the players watching the game in the player area of the Huaguo team were also discussing the situation at the scene fiercely.

In the preparation area of the semifinals of Group 2, Su Liang had returned to his position, but the look on his face was a little more serious than usual.

If others still have some doubts about the result of this penalty, then Su Liang can basically be sure that in this case just now, the referee on the scene will choose to give Cui Xiantai a no-foul penalty.

This is due to the fact that many of the subjective factors of the movements are difficult to determine, as well as the fact that ISU is currently encouraging players to go beyond the competition in the competition.

The reason why South Korea dares to make all kinds of dangerous foul moves again and again is precisely because the South Korean national team coaches and many of their competitors have a deep understanding of ISU's international rules for short track speed skating.

Including the visuals of many foul actions and the dead spots of the live video, which are familiar to South Korean players, even if a player reports a South Korean player for committing a foul on the spot, in the absence of actual evidence, the South Korean player can still defend himself for not committing a foul.

Su Liang originally didn't have a deep impression of the name Cui Xiantai, but after seeing Cui Xiantai's series of actions just now, he finally remembered that before he crossed, during the period when Er Xiang was his assistant coach, Er Xiang once made him a serious man to memorize the international rules of short track speed skating, and made detailed study and research on each rule.

When Er Xiang made such a request to him, he once cited an example, which was Choi Hyun-tae of South Korea.

In Erxiang's words at that time-

[This South Korea's Choi Hyun Tae is simply a short track speed skating foul book, but unfortunately his own talent is generally not able to get out in South Korea, but his foul skills are really average, and South Korean players are difficult to achieve. That is, that Choi Hyun Tae's results are average, and there are not too many videos of the game left, otherwise you look at the South Korean foul highlights on the letter station now, and they are not as good as that Choi Hyun Tae. 】

Sure enough, Choi Hyun-tae, who was called a collection of short track speed skating fouls by Erxiang, was not penalized for a foul.

This result caused serious dissatisfaction with Canadian player Julian, who kept telling the referee team on the scene that before Choi Hyun Tae overtook him, there had been a collision with him, and at the same time, the reason why he fell down after Choi Hyun Tae fell was also affected by Choi Hyun Tae's actions.

It's a pity that Julian's collision is shown in the video as a completely normal arm swing movement, which is a very common physical contact between competitors in short track speed skating competitions.

"It's a pity that the collision action you proposed cannot be proved by video to be a deliberate foul action."

Including Julian's accusations of Choi Hyun-tae's actions after the fall, there was no valid proof.

In the end, this accident caused the entire game to be aborted, and no one of the players present was allowed to leave, and Mu Yuansheng, who knew everything, also returned to the position of the ice preparation area after telling Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng that he had no problems.

He still had a shallow and gentle smile on his face, but as long as he knew Mu Yuansheng, he would definitely be able to see that Mu Yuansheng, who was smiling with a smile on his face, was revealing a dangerous aura all over his body.

In the audience at the scene, the players of the Chinese national team went to the seats, and Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang were also sitting on the seats watching the event on the spot.

Er Xiang was originally righteous and indignant crusading against that South Korean Choi Hyun Tae, but when he swept Mu Yuansheng with a dozen eyes, Er Xiang suddenly shivered.

He furrowed his brows, cautiously glanced in the direction of Mu Yuansheng again, and then turned his head to Wu Gang and whispered, "Do you see that expression on the face of my boss and his senior brother?" How do I feel that he is obviously smiling, but I am panicked? ”

Originally sitting in the seat and frowning in the direction of Cui Xiantai, Wu Gang turned his gaze to Mu Yuansheng after hearing Er Xiang's words, and after glancing at Mu Yuansheng's expression, Wu Gang silently turned his gaze to Su Liang, who was still in the direction of the preparation area-Sure enough, Su Liang, who was in the preparation area, had a look on his face several degrees colder than usual at this time.

I have to say that Erxiang is stupid, but his intuition is really sharp.

Wu Gang didn't answer Er Xiang's question directly, but said calmly: "Okay, let's watch the game quietly." ”

Just look at the looks on the faces of Mu Yuansheng and Su Liang, you can know that in the next two semi-finals, the two of them will definitely not leave any chance for the South Korean players.

Wu Gang silently looked at the direction of the ice and said in his heart - the people of South Korea probably won't know what kind of two brothers they provoked in this competition just now.
