Chapter 143

When Mu Yuansheng stood in the reserve area on the ground again with Arseny, Julian, Choi Hyun-tae and other four players, even from the live TV screen, it could be seen that the state of the four players on the ice was not harmonious at this time.

Julian on the third lane has obvious disgust in his eyes when he looks at Choi Hyun Tae, and Arseni on the second lane is also full of vigilance towards Choi Hyun Tae.

It can be said that although Choi Hyun-tae successfully affected the semi-final just now with his so-called foul-like ability, at the moment when a new round was about to begin, Choi Hyun-tae had already been resisted by all the players in his group before the game began.

However, it can be seen that Choi Hyun Tae does not mind all this, and at the moment he is focusing on preparing for his new semi-final in lane 4 - in that sense alone, Choi Hyun Tae is indeed a strong player with a big heart.

On the coach's command seat at the scene, it can be seen that South Korea's head coach Lee Yong-ha nodded slightly when observing the state on the ground, and it is obvious that Lee Yong-ha is rarely satisfied with Choi Hyun-tae's series of performances.

And when the game started again, the satisfied look in Li Yongha's eyes was even more obvious.

For no other reason, when the starting gun rang out for Round 2, both Arseni from Russia and Julian from Canada made serious mistakes at the start.

It's easy to understand how this mistake came about - both Arseni and Julian were extremely wary of Choi's foul behavior, but it was this vigilance that kept their spirits so tight that they couldn't adjust well before the start of the game, so that both of them were visibly shaken at the moment when the starting gun went off.

The only two people in the entire arena who were not affected by the previous game were Mu Yuansheng in the innermost lane and Choi Hyun-tae, the initiator in the fourth lane.

Among them, Mu Yuansheng on the innermost road may not be said to have been unaffected by Cui Xiantai, but the influence that Cui Xiantai brought to him was to completely release his state in this game, from the moment the starting gun sounded, he had quickly exploded under his feet, kicked the ice, and swung his arms forward at the fastest speed.

"Very good! A great start! ”

In the commentary room of the sports channel, Liao Yuwei decisively shouted hello when she saw Mu Yuansheng's start.

"We can see that Mu Yuansheng's start is a very beautiful textbook start, with a clean and neat starting explosion, and the connection between sprinting and sliding and entering the corner is also very smooth, without stagnation!"

"Very beautiful, Mu Yuansheng has easily locked his inner lane at the first time he enters the corner, which makes him able to firmly defend his inner lane leading position at this stage!"

"This is a performance that is even more crisp than the start of the first round, and it can be seen that Mu Yuansheng was not negatively affected by the last match just now - or it is precisely because of the performance of South Korea's Choi Hyun Tae in the last game that inspired Mu Yuansheng's anger and made him play his best in this semi-final."

……

As Liao Yuwei explained, Mu Yuansheng was occupying the absolute leading position on the ice at this time, but due to the mistakes of Arseni and Julian, the player who occupied the second position at this time has become Choi Hyun-tae of South Korea.

In the starting stage of this race, Choi Hyun-tae's performance was actually very good, he quickly started from the outermost lane, quickly changed lanes, and quickly cut into the innermost position.

With his influence on Arseni and Julian in the starting stage and the mistakes of these two runners, he smoothly changed lanes from the front of the two to the innermost lane, followed by Mu Yuansheng, and became the second follower.

But no matter how good Choi Hyun Tae is, it doesn't make the spectators feel very happy, it only reminds people that in the last match, Julian, who was equally good, was affected by him and fell, and Choi Hyun Tae even used that dangerous overtake to call a rematch that should have been ended.

Even if Choi Hyun-tae successfully advanced to the final with his strength in this competition, it is conceivable that all ice fans who have watched today's game will only think that this is a shameless thief.

In the commentary room of the sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng also felt sorry for the two players, Arseni and Julian.

Of all the people on the scene, the only one who was satisfied with Choi Hyun-tae's performance was probably the only member of the South Korean coaching staff.

It can be seen that on the on-site coach command, Lee Yong-ha looked at Choi Hyun-tae's performance on the ice, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face - morality? What is that? They followed the ISU rules, and if the referee hadn't given a no-foul decision, it wouldn't have been like this, would it?

The coaching staff of the Russian and Canadian teams present at this moment all stared at Choi Hyun-tae on his face at the same time.

Obviously, the two coaching staff have regarded Choi Hyun-tae as their worst enemy and thorn in their side at this point, and they hope to catch the pigtails of the foul-loving South Korean little stick in this game, and then let the referee team completely send the hateful little stick off the field.

But the South Korean player on the ice may have foreseen their inner thoughts, and from the beginning of this game to the present, the South Korean little stick has not made any foul moves.

It should be said that this Choi Hyun Tae has already eaten through the psychology of everyone present, and he knows that after he made the foul behavior of the previous group, if he wants not to be sent off in this group of games, he must not make any foul behavior, otherwise he will definitely be collectively appealed by everyone who is staring at him.

This kind of grasp of foul psychology, Choi Hyun Tae can be said to have mastered the essence, and Lee Yong Ha next to the arena is also very satisfied with Choi Hyun Tae's upper road - although this Choi Hyun Tae's talent in short track speed skating is not particularly good, but with his series of foul brains and tactics, he may be able to find another way.

On the ice, both Arseni and Julian were holding their breath in their hearts, especially Julian, who was dangerously overtaken by Choi Hyun-tae in the last match, resulting in almost injury.

However, he and Arseni are both explosive players in the future, and after being affected in the starting stage and not being able to give full play to their starting explosive advantages, it is a little difficult for Julian and Arseni to overtake the runners in front of them in the middle and late stages at this stage.

It was at this time that the two found that Mu Yuansheng in the front lead slide position did not continue to follow his advantage in the first lap to open the gap with the players behind him after occupying the lead slide position at the initial high-speed explosion.

- Generally speaking, a rider who has been in the lead position on the first lap will usually consider further acceleration after entering the second lap to aim for a full speed skate to the final victory.

However, Mu Yuansheng, who occupied an absolute lead in this field, stopped his high-speed sprint after a lap of lead, and obviously began to control his skating speed, and also controlled the sliding route of South Korean player Choi Hyun-tae behind him.

Cui Xiantai, who was in second place, also didn't expect why Mu Yuansheng, who was in the leading position, would give up the full-speed sprint and choose to control the speed.

Of course, Cui Xiantai didn't think that Mu Yuansheng deliberately lowered his sliding speed, he only thought that Mu Yuansheng was trying to reduce his mistakes in the corner, so he controlled his sliding speed.

At first, Choi Hyun Tae didn't feel any abnormality and anxiety about Mu Yuansheng's speed control, but soon as Mu Yuansheng's speed control affected Cui Xiantai's gliding, and made him clearly feel the approach of Arseni and Julian behind him, Cui Xiantai finally felt that something was wrong - originally on lap 1, there was a more obvious distance difference between him and Arseni and Julian in the rear. But Mu Yuansheng only controlled his speed for a short time, and the two people in the rear, Arseni and Julian, quickly approached him.

The two who originally missed the advantage in the starting explosion stage, with Mu Yuansheng's speed control, successfully approached Cui Xiantai's back, and before Cui Xiantai reacted, Julian took the lead in swinging to the outer road, and from the position of the outer road, he also stuck the route and opportunity for Cui Xiantai to surpass the outer road.

Just halfway through the third lap, Choi Hyun-tae quickly discovered that his originally good pace of racing suddenly fell into complete passivity.

Not good!

He finally came to his senses, Mu Yuansheng of the Chinese team in front of him, Arseni of Russia and Julian of Canada, the three of them disregarded their own interests in this group of semifinals, and combined to play a cooperation that was completely aimed at him.

These madmen!

Don't they need to skate their game?

Isn't the Huaguo team also a team that attaches great importance to results?

Why did this Mu Yuansheng control his speed by himself, just to play a match against him with the two Russian and Canadian players in the back?

Isn't he worried that his excessive slowdown will allow Julian and Arseni at the rear to find a chance to overtake him?

In just a few seconds, the situation on the ice changed from the original favorable form for South Korea's Choi Hyun Tae to a complete suppression of him.

On the South Korean coach's seat next to the field, the smile on Lee Yongha's face had not completely disappeared, and he had already witnessed the game in front of him turn into such a bad situation.

"Assi!"

Li Yonghe almost subconsciously scolded such a sentence.

He has also seen that the Huaguo player in the leading position is deliberately targeting Cui Xiantai in the second place, if it weren't for the cooperation of Mu Yuansheng of Huaguo, the two Canadian and Russian players behind Cui Xiantai would not have had a chance to approach Cui Xiantai, and it would not have been possible to complete the outflanking of Cui Xiantai by the three of them with Mu Yuansheng in front.

"Maniac!"

Li Yonghe's hand clenched into a fist and hammered it on the anti-collision sponge wall in front of him.

If it weren't for the deliberate speed control of Mu Yuansheng of the Huaguo team, Cui Xiantai would have steadily continued to wait for the final 1.5 laps of sprint in the second heel sliding position.

But ruined, everything ruined.

Damn it!

Li Yonghe's face had changed from a previous smile to a look of iron blue, and his fist viciously punched the anti-collision sponge wall several times, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the situation on the ice at the moment.

At this moment, Lee Yong-ha's original expectations for Choi Hyun-tae to successfully advance to the men's 500-meter final are basically hopeless.

In this case, Li Yonghe's eyes stared viciously at Cui Xiantai's figure on the ice - I hope that this Cui Xiantai can be smarter, knowing that since he has lost this opportunity and hope in front of him, then the first plan can be abandoned, and now what he needs to implement is the second plan......

That is, waiting for the opportunity to foul, so that Mu Yuansheng in front of him also lost the chance to advance to the finals!

Obviously, Choi Hyun-tae and his coach Lee Yong-ha on the ice have reached a high degree of the same frequency in terms of thinking.

After Choi Hyun-tae noticed that the three people around him were outflanking him, he quickly increased the swing of his hands, and he inevitably collided with other opponents around him while swinging his arms back and forth.

And not just to Arseny and Julian.

Choi Hyun-tae, who originally restrained all his foul actions at the beginning of this game, completely let go of the small moves in his hand after facing the joint outflanking of three opponents.

And while the small movements continued, he was also brewing a big move against Mu Yuansheng in front of him - transcendence, and he was ready to completely knock Mu Yuansheng away with another dangerous transcendence.

Of course, this is not a dangerous move in his own interests, but since these opponents present have affected his personal interests, Mu Yuansheng even used his own speed reduction to cooperate with Arseni and Julian in the rear...... Then don't blame him for being polite!

The cruel calculation appeared in Choi Hyun-tae's eyes, and he didn't think that his idea was wrong in the slightest - since it was blocking his way, then he had to be mentally prepared to be shoveled away by him.

But just as he was about to enter the curve stage ahead, Mu Yuansheng, who had a very good control over his own curve route, suddenly let go of a huge gap in the inner lane.

Cui Xiantai, who had already prepared to perform a dangerous overtaking action on Mu Yuansheng in this corner, was unprepared for the sudden change in Mu Yuansheng's route in front of him, and when he wanted to adjust his angle of entry again, it was already too late.

Some people may think that this will be a very good opportunity for Choi Hyun Tae to overtake, but in fact, Choi Hyun Tae was ready for dangerous overtaking before this moment, which made it impossible for him to do a series of detailed control adjustments such as his own strength and entry angle in a short period of time.

Although Cui Xiantai also completed Mu Yuansheng's inner lane overtake, it was because of a series of detail mistakes and deviations such as his own strength and bending angle that he completely lost control of his speed and route after turning at high speed, and finally after he completed the overtaking and briefly entered the leading position, his sliding quickly lost control and crashed straight towards the sponge wall on the side.

And when Choi Hyun-tae crashed into the sponge wall, it was already the last lap stage, after Choi Hyun-tae fell off the track, Mu Yuansheng on the ice, Arseni, Julian and other three players completely ignored Choi Hyun-tae who fell off the track, and the three of them quickly increased their feet to speed up after the corner, and began to sprint to the last lap of the race.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still conducting live commentary to ice fans across the country, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng would almost have to call out the 4 words of dry beauty in the commentary room.

After swallowing these four words, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng looked at each other and smiled, and quickly put the topic on the commentary of the final lap of the sprint.

"At this moment, there are still three players on the ice, including Mu Yuansheng of the Chinese team, Julian of Canada and Arseni of Russia, and Choi Hyun-tae from South Korea made an obvious mistake in the corner stage of the last lap, fell out of the ice, and withdrew from the semi-final qualification competition ahead of schedule!"

Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng in the commentary room still have scruples about the live broadcast, so they can't applaud loudly, but the audience and the ice fans before the live TV broadcast have no such scruples at all.

At the moment when he saw Choi Hyun-tae fall out of the ice, the overseas spectators, including the overseas audience and the coaches from all over the world, shouted loudly and happily.

Even after Choi Hyun-tae fell out of the ice, the voices of the ice fans present cheered louder and warmer.

Some Russian and Canadian spectators who watched the game at the scene did not even cheer for the two players of their own country, Arseni and Julian, after seeing Cui Xiantai fall on the track, but opened their mouths and began to shout at Mu Yuansheng of the Chinese team at the scene.

"Well done!!"

"Come on!! Huaguo team!! ”

The atmosphere of this race seems to have really entered the white-hot climax stage after Choi Hyun-tae fell off the ice, and the cheers and shouts of everyone at the scene of the race gathered together, and the overall atmosphere was many times more enthusiastic than the previous laps of the race.

And Mu Yuansheng on the ice did not live up to such a warm atmosphere and the cheers of ice fans from overseas countries.

In the sprint stage of the last lap, Mu Yuansheng continuously added knives under his feet, and his speed was raised to the limit again, and behind him, Julian and Arseni finally began to surpass and chase each other unscrupulously.

The intense atmosphere of the race reached its peak on this lap.

But no matter how fierce the peak, there is only one lap left, in this last lap of the race, Mu Yuansheng has always maintained his sliding advantage, and crossed the final finish line with a stable lead in the final lap.

Behind Mu Yuansheng, the competition between Arseni and Julian was much more intense, with the two completing a takeover in the final lap, and after the final corner, Julian and Arseni almost crossed the finish line side by side.

Although it was impossible to tell who had successfully advanced to the final because the distance between the two was too close to cross the line at the end, it could be seen from the expressions on the faces of Arseni and Julian that the two of them were very happy and happy at the moment.

This joy and joy is not because of the final result that they have not yet reached, but because in this match, South Korea's Choi Hyun Tae, who made a lot of trouble all the way to the disgust, did not achieve his goal of making trouble, but was thrown out of the final battle of this match when he was close to the end of the victory.

Just consider that Choi Hyun-tae briefly took the lead on the final lap and almost had a chance of qualifying for first place, but he fell off the track because he couldn't control his body......

At this time, on the electronic screen at the scene, Cui Xiantai's clip is being played back as a wonderful picture, which also makes Arseni and Julian even let go of their anxiety and persistence about their final results, and laughed happily because of Cui Xiantai's moment.

The ice fans present and those who watched the live TV broadcast also found the interesting clip on this wonderful replay of the scene.

Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng on the on-site coach's seat were still full of anger in the game, but after seeing Mu Yuansheng successfully advance to the finals with the first place in the group, and seeing this momentary picture of Cui Xiantai on the electronic screen on the scene, the two finally laughed easily at this moment.

Pei Jing smiled and said to Zhang Dongcheng beside him: "This time, the live director of the World Youth Championships is quite thoughtful." ”

Including the replay of the previous foul action against Kang Yeon-ha, as well as the wonderful replay of the clip of Choi Hyun-tae falling off the track this time......

Zhang Dongcheng also nodded with a smile and said, "It's quite thoughtful, but isn't it very reasonable?" Whether it is Kang Yeon-ha's action or Choi Hyun-tae's action, it is indeed a wonderful picture of the game. ”

After saying this, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time.

At the same time, on the short track speed skating section of the domestic Ice Water Kingdom Forum, ice fans also laughed happily at the same time.
