He thought it was a rule that everyone should follow in good faith.

But it's clear that his coach, his team and his teammates don't see it that way.

A short track speed skater who was penalized for following the rules......

As long as he thought of this, the corners of Cui Changxi's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, and at the same time, the news sent by Sun Zhiyuan once again appeared in his mind.

Let's go.

Staying on this team, will he have any other choice than to sink with his teammates?

If he chooses to continue to fight fearlessly in the ranks, the end result will be a waste of his limited professional lifespan.

At the moment when the sun rose again, Cui Changxi silently sent a message to Sun Zhiyuan on his mobile phone: [I decide, I choose...... Leave. 】

But just a few minutes later, he received a reply from the other party: "A correct choice, trust me, you won't regret it. 】

Choi Chang-hee was the first to arrive at the training venue that day, and he didn't do anything else but submit a withdrawal request to Lee Yong-ha's office.

When Lee Yong-ha arrived at the National Day team, he found that Choi Chang-hee was not training in the team, and he didn't care about it until he came to the door of his office and saw the letter from Choi Chang-hee's withdrawal application, and an angry slamming of the door spread throughout South Korea's short track speed skating training bases.

On the same day, a South Korean sports journalist posted an article.

"Choi Chang-hee, a young player who humiliated South Korea at the World Youth Championships, officially announced his withdrawal from my country's national youth team! 》

All of a sudden, the national teams of various countries that heard the news immediately moved when they heard the news.

Chapter 174

After hearing the news of Choi Chang-hee's withdrawal from the South Korean youth team, the Chinese team also handed Choi Chang-hee an olive branch to the Chinese team after a brief discussion.

It's not that Cui Changxi is determined to win, but I think Cui Changxi is indeed a player worth fighting for, with Cui Changxi's strength, even if he comes to the Huaguo team, he definitely has the qualifications and strength to play first.

However, the Huaguo team does not have to be Cui Changxi, so for the staff who are in contact, there is no pressure to complete the task, and they are more inquiring about who Cui Changxi will end up with.

When the staff in charge of contact with the Chinese team first began to understand the relevant information, the first thing they heard was not the news of which team Choi Chang-hee would choose, but the gossip that South Korea was secretly blocking Choi Chang-hee from joining the teams of other countries.

“…… These guys in South Korea. ”

When Lin Guobin heard that South Korea had taken the initiative to abandon Choi Chang-hee and slander and humiliate Choi Chang-hee, he was going to block Choi Chang-hee from joining the ranks of other countries, and he also cursed the word shameless after a long silence.

Not only Choi Chang-hee, but Son Zhi-won also received the same treatment, but Son Zhi-won is not as important as Choi Chang-hee in the South Korean youth team after all, and it is only because he heard that Choi Chang-hee's departure has a certain relationship with Sun Zhiyuan, so South Korea chose to also launch relevant sanctions against Sun Zhiyuan.

However, Sun Zhiyuan's family has decided to leave South Korea with his family, so the sanctions and impact of the South Korean youth team on Sun Zhiyuan are still small.

"Either way, I hope Choi Chang-hee can do well."

The news of Choi Chang-hee's intention to leave the South Korean team is still circulating in short track speed skating circles, but this will not affect the progress of the World Cup in Canada.

On February 14, the World Cup in Canada officially kicked off, which is also the last World Cup competition of the season.

For Su Liang, this is his second World Cup event after crossing over, and it is also the third international event he has participated in.

The continuous participation has given him a deeper understanding of his current age and physical condition, and after the last World Cup, he has also gained a certain grasp of the strength of today's world-class senior players.

Among the two, Shang Fei also successfully advanced to the semifinals of the men's 1500 meters, but Chu Rui had little advantage in the individual events of the 1500 meters, and finally finished third in the group, regrettably failing to advance.

But whether it is Shang Fei or Chu Rui, the results of both are not as good as Su Liang in the group stage.

In the 1500m preliminaries, Su Liang won the men's 1500m semifinals with the first place in the group almost effortlessly.

After Su Liang came down from the arena, Pei Jing also patted him on the shoulder.

"Good boy, good! It's easy. ”

This is not to say that Su Liang has made a qualitative leap in strength in just one month from the World Youth Championships to now, but after experiencing the baptism of the World Youth Championships, Su Liang now has a more accurate understanding of physical distribution.

And although the World Youth Championship and the World Cup are two different groups of competitions for seniors and youth, the fact is that the top players in the World Youth Championship definitely have the strength to compete in the World Cup.

For example, at the World Cup in Canada, Su Liang saw several familiar figures - his old friend Eliezer LePage is one of the three players in the Canadian team this time.

EliezelePage came to the next group of Su Liang, and at the same time as Su Liang left, EliezelePage also came to the ice gate with his competitors in the same group to prepare for the ice.

While passing by Su Liang, he hugged Su Liang quickly, and exaggeratedly praised: "Hey, Su, do you know? You look more like a big demon now than you did at the World Junior Championships. ”

"In that game just now, you were so easy."

Su Liang smiled shallowly, made a cheering gesture to him, and then left the ice.

At the same time, domestic sports channels are also broadcasting live, Canada's short track speed skating World Cup sub-station, but compared with the previous World Youth Championships, the World Cup ratings are much lower.

The reason is not that the publicity is not enough, but that the time difference between Canada and China is too great.

There is a 12-hour time difference between the two places, and it is already one or two o'clock in the morning when the local competition starts in the local afternoon in Canada, and even if the short track speed skating fans are willing to stay up late to watch the competition, they must ensure their basic sleep and the second day of work.

However, there are still some die-hard fans who are staring at the live broadcast of the TV station to watch the game, but the vast majority of these die-hard fans are adults, and of course they have their own independent choice of whether they want to stay up late to watch such a live broadcast.

And some fans of short track speed skating, such as Nuan Nuan, who is only 4 years old this year, once again felt the sinister hearts of people. (This mainly refers to his father Jiang Yibo.) ）

Jiang Yibo originally promised his youngest son to accompany him to watch Su Liang's game after the World Cup started, but he was busy coaxing the little guy before, and Jiang Yibo completely forgot about the 12-hour time difference between Canada and China.

When he came to his senses, there was a 12-hour time difference between Canada and China, and Su Liang's game time in China was basically three or four o'clock in the morning, he only felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he didn't know how to explain to his youngest son at all.

If possible, he even wanted to call Liu Yaowu to ask if the sports channel could arrange a daytime World Cup replay so that he could coax the little ancestor at home.

Fortunately, the idea of replay brought enough inspiration to Jiang Yibo, he hurriedly asked someone how to record the TV program, and quickly found the relevant equipment, so he finally fooled his little ancestor to go to bed quickly, and after getting up on the second day, they watched his brother's game 'live broadcast' together.

As for himself, after finally putting Nuan Nuan to sleep, Jiang Yibo was alone again and quietly squatted in front of the TV in the living room in the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast of Su Liang's game in Canada.

This time, he watched the game in the middle of the night, after all, his task was to record the complete game footage and use it to coax his youngest son.

And after watching his eldest son easily win the first place in the 1500-meter group preliminaries, Jiang Yibo's face also showed a look of pride - look! This is his eldest son Jiang Yibo, genius and awesome!

***

Su Liang didn't know what kind of battle of wits and courage his father was having with Nuan Nuan in China.

At this moment, he was sitting in the lounge in the back court, adjusting his state.

He can clearly feel that compared with the previous World Cup or the last World Cup in Beijing, this time in the World Cup in Canada, his physical distribution in the preliminary stage and his grasp of the final result have indeed improved greatly.

Shang Fei, who was also in the backcourt lounge, raised his eyebrows after seeing Su Liang's state: "Xiao Liang, your current state, how do I think you can still win the first place in the semifinals?" ”

Su Liang didn't reply, but closed his eyes and felt his state.

Shang Fei immediately felt that he had said something wrong, and in such an international competition, who can guarantee that he will be able to advance to the top of the group in every competition?

He just wanted to open his mouth and say to Su Liang Don't care, he was just joking.

Then he saw Su Liang open his eyes, and said with a hint of confidence in his eyes: "...... Perhaps? ”

Before this World Cup, Shang Fei had also competed with Su Liang more than once, in his memory, Su Liang had sharpness, tenacity, courage to persevere, dare to fight, he has strong strength and huge potential, but he is like a king on the throne of the future, and now he has enough strength, but he still doesn't seem to have that

What a sharpness.

But this time was different, in today's backcourt lounge, Shang Fei was sure that he had read from Su Liang's eyes that it belonged to the strong and that victory was inevitable.

…… But is this possible?

Even if the World Cup is not as strong as the World Championships, there are one or two top players among the players from all countries.

Shang Fei's doubts didn't last long.

Soon it was time for the men's 1500m semi-finals.

In the men's 1500m heats at today's World Cup in Canada, a total of 30 athletes from 10 countries competed, and the preliminary stage was divided into six groups, and 15 of them advanced to the semi-finals.

The semi-finals are also divided into groups of 5 and the semi-finalists are divided into three groups.

Su Liang and Shang Fei appeared in Group 1 and Group 3 of the semi-finals respectively.

Group 1 includes players from four countries, including the United States, Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands, with Samuel Adams from Canada being the strongest.

But in fact, although Samuel Adams was playing at home and finally won the first place in this group, he still surpassed his Su Liang from the Chinese team at the last moment.

When he saw Su Liang tie or even surpass Samuel at the last moment, even the local commentators on the Canadian field let out an exclamation of disbelief.

"A fantastic player from Team Hua Guo who completely exceeded everyone's expectations!"

In fact, all the information of all the contestants is placed in the hands of the commentator, and the local commentator in Canada certainly knows that Su Liang is the men's all-around king who has set off a terrible wave at the World Youth Championships before, but the vast majority of Canadians do not think that Su Liang can beat their country's star Samuel Adams with the strength of a 16-year-old player.

Samuel Adams also had a look of surprise on his face when he saw the final replay of the scene and confirmed that he had lost to Su Liang and only advanced to the final with the second place in the group.

Indeed, in the last half lap of the race, he did not try his best to sprint, in his concept, he was already winning, and he did not expect such a group of dark horses to appear from behind.

At the same time, Samuel does not think that in addition to Su Liang, there are other players on the field who have the possibility of surpassing him.

After sorting out all this, he stood in front of Su Liang with an admiring look and gave him a thumbs up: "Hey, amazing kid, you won me in this semi-final, but in the later finals, I won't make any concessions to you." ”

Facing Samuel's words, Su Liang also smiled lightly: "Then, let's see the real chapter in the finals." ”

If Su Liang's feelings were not too obvious in the previous preliminaries, then in the semi-finals, Su Liang really felt that with more accurate control of his physical energy distribution, his speed ability and strength have also made a faint breakthrough.

Maybe it's because of the high-intensity competition at the World Junior Championships, or maybe it's because of something else.

In short, Su Liang, who felt that his strength and speed had improved again, had a trace of ups and downs and excitement in his mood at this time.

And for the time being, no one knows that the words that Eliezer LePage said to Su Liang in the preliminaries are really gradually being realized......

He said: "You look like you're going to be a bigger demon than you were at the World Junior Championships. 】

But in fact, at least so far, no one has really seen the complete body of the big demon named Su Liang - perhaps, in the men's 1500m final later, the prototype of this big demon king with a breakthrough should make people exclaim again.

Chapter 175

At 4:15 p.m. Canadian time, the final list of the men's 1500m event in the Canadian branch of the World Cup has been officially decided.

Advancing to the final were Su Liang and Shang Fei from the Chinese national team, Samuel Adams and Eliezelle Page from Canada, as well as Lee Joon-tae from South Korea and Michael Rogers from the United States.

If you ask a less-informed audience to watch this match, you may wonder why Lee Joon-tae, the best South Korean athlete in the 1500-meter distance, made it to the final stage.

In fact, even South Korea, which seems to make players kneel down and apologize at every turn, understands the need to develop a new generation of players, and it is not surprising that South Korea did not make it to the final because it was not the first team of South Koreans who came to Canada to compete this time.

I have to say something strange that South Korea is willing to be tolerant of these players, but they are so mean to talented players like Choi Chang-hee.
