As the leader of the men's short track speed skating 500m individual event in China, Chu Rui has enough judgment and control ability for his skills and performance.

Although he digested the defeat in the men's 1500m event the day before, it did not mean that Chu Rui did not have any disappointment with the loss the day before.

The self-doubt that comes with losing a game is something that every player is bound to face.

Chu Rui doesn't know how other competitors have tried to dispel this kind of self-doubt, and his approach is to play 200% in the event he is good at, and rebuild his confidence with excellent form and best results.

That's exactly what he did in today's game.

And there is no doubt that he did a great job.

On the ice, he was in a steady rhythm from the moment he started, and the start of this final was undoubtedly his best start of the Canadian Dispersion.

From every lift and drop of the skate, from the angle between his body and the ice, everything was just right.

The smooth start brought Chu Rui a stronger state of competition and confidence.

And competing with Su Liang in the same game is also an excellent state promotion and pressure for Chu Rui - even if it is not the first time that Chu Rui has competed with Su Liang, this 16-year-old opponent can still bring Chu Rui a completely different feeling in every game.

A formidable opponent, an opponent full of potential and future.

is also an opponent who can bring Chu Rui a transformation of results.

Chu Rui on the ice was gliding quickly, feeling the dynamics and routes of the opponent behind him, he was always firmly controlling his inner lane in front, paying attention to Su Liang, Samuel Adams and Zhao Zimo, another young player of the Chinese team.

Behind Chu Rui, Su Liang, who is temporarily in the second place, is also paying attention to Samuel Adams and Zhao Zimo behind him.

Prior to this, Samuel Adams had tried to surpass many actions, including at this time, Samuel Adams was still sliding on the outside road, intending to catch any of Su Liang's mistakes, omissions and omissions, but he was never able to seize an ideal opportunity.

And rightfully so.

If Su Liang's mistake was so easy to be caught, then he would not be called the new generation of the big demon king in the previous World Youth Championships.

With Su Liang's ability, even in the adult competition, there are few players who can catch any of his mistakes.

In the past, more of his 'mistakes' were in quotation marks, which were made by him deliberately to lure opponents into fouls, or to deceive opponents to make them psychologically despise him.

The real technical mistakes are the ones that occur the least.

- You know, this is a guy who is about to run out of energy, but he can still maintain his technical movements during the game and continue to move forward steadily.

In the words of Pei Jing and Su Liang's father Jiang Yibo - Su Liang has carved the technical movements of short track speed skating into his DNA instinct.

Samuel Adams also knows how difficult this Chinese teenager is to deal with, but this is not a reason for him to give up his own transcendence possibility.

As long as there is the slightest possibility, he will not give up on his goal of transcendence.

And Samuel Adams also knows that in today's game, the three players of the Huaguo team have advanced to the finals, so in the case that the two players have occupied the two dominant positions of 1 and 2, the top two players of the Huaguo team are likely to cooperate with the player in the back to strive for the top three positions.

As long as the players of the Huaguo team have this idea, then he also has the opportunity to surpass by taking advantage of this opportunity.

After all, the cooperation between the players does not always represent perfect performance and tacit understanding, but also may represent the mistakes and loopholes in the cooperation between each other.

Samuel Adams was waiting for such an opportunity.

Su Liang is in protection

There may not be mistakes when acting independently, but when Su Liang creates opportunities for his teammates, everything may not be known.

On the ice, the competitors are not only fighting for the chance to win with each other with their technical ability, but they are also working hard to 'intrigue' - in the short track speed skating field, technical and tactical execution ability, as well as psychological confrontation are also the eternal focus of each competition.

***

"We can see that Samuel Adams is closely following Su Liang's side, which is an urgent stare posture, ready to overtake Su Liang at any time!"

"But so far, Samuel Adams has not been able to achieve the goal of surpassing Su Liang."

"Behind Samuel Adams, Zhao Zimo is also approaching the front, and at present, the distance between Su Liang, Samuel Adams and Zhao Zimo is very close to each other!"

On the ice, as the commentators said, Su Liang, Samuel Adams and Zhao Zimo were almost close to each other, of which Su Liang was in front, and Samuel Adams was almost parallel to Su Liang behind Su Liang's outer side, and Zhao Zimo suddenly came to his senses and accelerated his sliding speed to catch up after realizing that Su Liang had always been under the pressure of Samuel Adams and did not move.

It's just that Zhao Zimo's speed ability is limited, and with Su Liang and Samuel Adams in front of him, it is impossible for Zhao Zimo to surpass the two players in front of him from the outside road.

The only chance he had to go ahead was to finish from the inside.

If there is no one in front of him to cooperate, it is completely impossible for him to find a gap from the inner path to complete the task of transcendence.

But in front of him, his teammate Su Liang has opened up a chance for him.

Su Liang gave up the position of the inner lane little by little under the urgent stare of Samuel Adams - Samuel Adams wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Su Liang and his teammates to overtake each other, and Su Liang also used Samuel Adams's psychology to make room for Zhao Zimo to have a chance.

While carrying the pressure of Samuel Adams, in the second corner of the third lap of the race, Su Liang insisted on choosing a larger angle of entry into the corner than usual.

In fact, when he noticed the angle of entry that Su Liang had chosen, Samuel Adams had already found that the situation was wrong, but at this time, he was always staring at Su Liang's side urgently, and he had lost the opportunity to distance himself from Su Liang at this stage and overtake him from the inner or outer lane.

What's more, he doesn't have a particularly good chance to leapfrog forward.

After all, it is not only Su Liang who is cooperating with Zhao Zimo to surpass forward, but also Chu Rui who is more ahead.

"A perfect fit!"

When Liao Yuwei of the domestic sports channel made this call in surprise, Zhao Zimo had successfully completed the surpassing of Su Liang from the inner road, while Samuel Adams lost the opportunity to continue to move forward and was controlled by Su Liang behind him.

With Zhao Zimo successfully moving to second place, the final result of the three players of the Huaguo team sweeping the top three seems to be already predictable.

At this point, the race on the ice was less than a lap and a half long.

Chu Rui is still leading the skating at the front, Zhao Zimo is temporarily second, Su Liang maintains the glide on the outside road and waits for opportunities to find opportunities, and also cooperates with Zhao Zimo to control Samuel Adams behind him.

After Samuel Adams' urgent marking tactics against Su Liang failed, he left Su Liang aside and re-entered the inner lane, intending to find an opportunity to surpass him behind Zhao Zimo.

In the audience, the Canadian crowd is also cheering for Samuel Adams - in this home-grown competition, the spectators certainly hope that the Canadian athlete can win at least one medal in the men's 500m event.

But Zhao Zimo didn't want to give his opponent such a chance.

The reason why he was able to get to his current position is largely due to his teammate Su Liang.

If it weren't for Su Liang to resist the pressure of Samuel Adams and create an opportunity for him to surpass from the inside to the front, Zhao Zimo didn't think he could be so light

The loose came to the current second position.

On the field, everything is so fast-moving.

Just when everyone's attention was on Chu Rui, Su Liang, Zhao Zimo, and Samuel Adams in front, Jackry Paxon, a player of the American team who was far away from the four people in front, approached Samuel Adams at some point.

On the ice, the lap keeper has already rang the bell to indicate that there is only one lap left in the race.

Many people didn't expect that Jackry Patterson, who didn't play well at the start, would join the scuffle between the four runners in front of him in the final stage - or simply between Zhao Zimo and Samuel Adams.

Yes, after Su Liang created a chance for Zhao Zimo to rank in the top two, he only relied on the half-lap schedule to overtake and enter the final battle between Chu Rui.

Zhao Zimo, on the other hand, was 'alone', swinging on the track to control Samuel, who was intent on overtaking him.

Zhao Zimo knew that he was not as good as Su Liang in terms of technique and stability, and if he stubbornly guarded the inside lane, he might not be able to hold Samuel Adams steadily, so he took out the speed, endurance and physical fitness that he was better at in the 1000-meter distance individual event, relying on sliding, body swing and arm swing to maintain control of the track.

Originally, Zhao Zimo had to deal with Samuel Adams alone, but when Jackry Paxson of the American team didn't know when he successfully stepped forward, the pressure on Zhao Zimo could be said to have increased exponentially.

At this time, the highlights on the ice have been split into two pieces, one of which is the competition between Su Liang and Chu Rui in front of them, and the other is whether Zhao Zimo, who is behind Chu Rui and Su Liang, can withstand the confrontation of pressure from Samuel Adams and Jackry Paxson.

On the coach's seat of the Huaguo team next to the field, Pei Jing nervously grabbed his hands on the edge of the foam crash wall on the scene.

He was not nervous about Su Liang at this time, but was nervous about Zhao Zimo behind Chu Rui and Su Liang.

This competition is the first time Zhao Zimo has participated in the adult World Cup after the World Youth Championships, and in the previous semifinals of the 500m preliminaries, Zhao Zimo successfully withstood the pressure of the event and successfully advanced to the finals, but Pei Jing did not expect Zhao Zimo to encounter such urgent pressure in the final.

It can be said that the young players of the Chinese team rarely have the opportunity to advance to the final stage in their first international competition, and they also rarely have the opportunity to face such a situation where they are being stamped by the two rivals to compete for a medal position in their first international competition.

And this time, the pressure on Zhao Zimo is not just to face two opponents from different countries, but only if he successfully holds the third position, the Chinese team can achieve the grand occasion of three players advancing to the finals at the same time, and three players winning medals in the World Cup.

Although the competition between Chu Rui and Su Liang in front of them is fierce, in such a situation, the pressure on Zhao Zimo is more worthy of attention.

It can be said that if Zhao Zimo can withstand the pressure and stabilize his state in a game like today, he doesn't even need him to successfully defend to the end under such pressure, as long as he can ensure that his state is not defeated, then in Pei Jing's view, Zhao Zimo is a young player of the Huaguo team who is very worthy of training.

At the game scene, Pei Jing was paying attention to Zhao Zimo's state with the eyes of a coach.

In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng and even the audience of the sports channel are paying attention to the 'war' between Chu Rui and Su Liang at the forefront.

In this game, Chu Rui and Su Liang each had a win.

Chu Rui played extremely well in the starting stage, and he also played very steadily throughout the rest of the race, leading the whole race, and the victory seemed to have been held in his hands for a long time.

Su Liang's start has always been his 'weakness' compared to other runners.

But this so-called weakness is no worse than the point ice start of some runners with his technical support - in today's race, although his performance in the starting stage was weaker than Chu Rui, it was actually very perfect.

In the first half of the schedule, he didn't

only withstood the pressure of Samuel Adams, and under the pressure of Samuel Adams, he also created an opportunity for Zhao Zimo, a player on the same team, to surpass him.

Immediately afterwards, he got rid of Samuel Adams from the outside road, and also completed the transcendence of Zhao Zimo.

At this time, although Su Liang was still slightly behind Chu Rui, the distance between the two was actually almost the same - of course, the distance between the two and the end line was actually almost the same.

In the first half of the race, Su Liang spent too much control and energy on Samuel Adams in the rear, and there was still a big gap between Chu Rui, who was sprinting in front of him, and the loss of physical energy and speed.

Being able to approach Chu Rui again at this stage is already a performance of Su Liang's ability beyond ordinary people.

In the final sprint, Chu Rui was about half a body ahead of Su Liang and took the lead in crossing the final finish line, and behind Su Liang, Zhao Zimo, Jackry Paxson and Samuel Adams, the three of them crossed the finish line almost at the same time......!

Zhao Zimo can be said to have reached the limit of his own route control to the rear.

But after the final corner, the trio sprinted towards the final finish line with all their might, and there was no point in controlling the route.

Under the sprint of the three people, it is difficult for the scene, including the audience and even themselves, to see who wins and who loses between the three from the final sprint screen.

But no matter what, Zhao Zimo has already brought his own abilities to the best of his ability.

***

After all three of them passed the final destination, Chu Rui turned around first and hugged Su Liang and Zhao Zimo behind him.

"Good work!"

In the race just now, he led the way with his initial advantage, except for cooperating with Su Liang on the way to briefly control Samuel Adams's route, the rest of the time he was maintaining a full-speed sprint.

It can be said that although he won the championship of this game, in the final results of the Huaguo team in this competition, his sacrifice and efforts are not as good as Su Liang and Zhao Zimo.

Needless to say, as a first-time international player, he withstood the pressure from Samuel Adams and Jackry Paxson.

And Su Liang originally had the opportunity to compete with him for the final victory, and even before the start of the game, Chu Rui could clearly feel the fighting spirit and the mentality from Su Liang, but as a young player, Su Liang did not move forward desperately in the game, but took the first step to ensure the best strategy for the Chinese national team, and only after basically stabilizing the control of the players behind did he begin to chase and sprint forward.

For Su Liang's choice and Zhao Zimo's persistence, Chu Rui deeply said his hard work and thank you.

Su Liang didn't have much thought about Chu Rui's thanks, he just calmly said that this was as it should be.

As a player who once grew up in the Chinese national team, teamwork and cooperation are also a memory written into Su Liang's blood.
