On the other hand, when Lin Guobin on the side saw Xiao Budian watching the game so seriously, his eyes were suddenly full of smiles, and after Li Yunlong, who was not far away, saw it, he couldn't help but glance back and forth between Lin Guobin and Nuan Nuan, and couldn't help muttering in his heart that they were afraid that Jiang Yibo and their family were already targeted.

In the conference room, some people cared about the little ones in Su Liang's arms, and of course, some people cared about the performance of the preliminaries on TV.

As Su Liang said before the start of the game, Sun Ruixiang of the Huaguo team definitely has a first-class level of quality and ability among the young players in the Four Nations League, especially his physical fitness, strength and speed endurance, which he was certified in the practice invitational match with South Korea when he first joined the national team.

Especially after the baptism of a series of events such as the World Youth Championships, it is more than enough to deal with the preliminaries of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament.

It's just that Yixiang can't escape the curse of his 'one' word after all, and on the ice at this time, he is taking the lead, and he seems to be completely unafraid of the consumption of physical energy.

Seeing Sun Ruixiang's appearance, Li Yunlong's brows furrowed, and he silently ticked one of this guy's training items on his coach's notebook.

In addition to Yixiang, Lin Yongsheng and Zhou Qiqi and Wu Gang of the Huaguo team are not in this preliminary group, but the Russian player Kirill pointed out by Su Liang before the game is skating behind Sun Ruixiang at the moment, looking unhurried and impatient, which is very different from the impression given by ordinary Russian players.

If there wasn't much information in the previous warm-up period, Kirill's performance in the preliminaries was enough for the coaching staff to put him on the watch list.

At this time, at the scene of the Russian Four-Nations Joint Invitational Tournament, on the coach's command seat next to the field, Jiang Yibo crossed his hands in front of his chest, wrinkled his brows and looked at Sun Ruixiang who was leading the skating on the ice and Kirill behind him, and first crossed out a key symbol for Kirill's name in his heart, and then looked at Sun Ruixiang who was leading the skating viciously, and also made a note of him in his heart.

On the side, the assistant coach of the team was also standing beside Jiang Yibo.

The assistant coach didn't have a bad eye either, and he quickly saw that Kirill was sliding behind Sun Ruixiang to save energy.

"Coach Jiang, this Russian player is quite interesting!"

Jiang Yibo didn't say much, just nodded.

He is not worried that Sun Ruixiang was really directly overtaken in the preliminaries to the first place in the group, although the four-nation joint invitational tournament is not small, but it is really just a practice match - to discover outstanding young players from other countries, to find the problems of young players in their own country, to judge a series of possible situations after the technical transformation and to observe the effect of technical transformation, these were originally the purpose of this competition.

But at the same time, Jiang Yibo also sighed in his heart after making a note for Yixiang and Kirill, and made a note for himself.

As the coach of this competition, although Sun Ruixiang is not usually responsible for him, when he is the head of the team, he should not only focus on the 500-meter distance event that he is more familiar with.

is like a guy Yixiang, usually everyone in the team knows what kind of problems he has, including before leaving for Russia, Li Yunlong also communicated with him about the players.

Then as the coach of the team, he should be responsible for all the players, and try to mention all the players as much as possible, so that all players can have an excellent performance before the game as much as possible.

And apparently, he was not able to do that.

In this preliminaries, even if Sun Ruixiang was overtaken by the Russian Kirill in the final stage because he was too reckless, part of the responsibility must be on him.

Thinking of these, Jiang Yibo remembered what Pei Jing said to him before he took over the responsibility of leading the team - as the leader of a whole participating team, it is completely different from you just being Mu Yuansheng's coach. The national team is interested in developing you at this stage, and you also need to understand how to look at things from a higher perspective.

At that time, he didn't have too deep thoughts about these, but in today's first preliminaries, Jiang Yibo also had a sense of being awakened at this moment.

At the same time, in the short track speed skating section of the Ice and Snow Kingdom Forum in China, ice fans are also watching live TV while taking time to brush the forum on the computer to discuss the current battle situation.

Theme: [Short Track Speed Skating Four-Country Joint Invitational Comprehensive Discussion Post (Welcome to Discuss Together)]

86L: [It seems that the adaptation of athletes from all countries to technical transformation is okay, so far, the players in the first group of the men's 1500m preliminaries don't see anything unsuitable? 】

87L: [That's not what I said, the pursuit of starting speed in the 1500-meter single event is not the extreme, and only in some top arenas will there be a full-scale sprint from the starting stage of the skate, so the 1500-meter individual athletes' dependence on the ice point is not so strong, so I am told that it depends on the athletes' adaptability to the technical transformation and the changes after the technical transformation, and it is still necessary to look at the 500-meter individual event to see the clues. 】

90L: [I agree with my friend on the 87th floor, 1500, I think it's more interesting to observe young players from other countries through this competition, such as Kirill, who is in the same group as Yixiang, did not appear in the World Youth Championships, but it is obvious that his strength is definitely not bad. 】

……

Some people found that Kirill was skating behind Yixiang, and they were also worried about whether Yixiang would be surpassed, but the vast majority of ice fans were very open to this, except for some newcomers, most of the ice fans still have a deep understanding of the key purpose of the four-nation joint invitational tournament.

However, to the surprise of some people, although Kirill had a considerable physical advantage in the heel skating behind Sun Ruixiang, he did not choose to surpass Sun Ruixiang in the final stage, but also advanced to the next competition with the first place in the group.

In the conference room of the Chinese national team, the coaches present saw that Kirill still did not surpass Sun Ruixiang's performance in the end, but their originally relaxed expressions became a little cautious at this moment.

Su Liang looked at Kirill in the live broadcast screen and said bluntly: "Obviously, this Russian Kirill is a player with top potential, and can be extremely calm and rational in the game. ”

In fact, not only that, before Su Liang's crossing, Kirill had already retired, not only was he a controversial and doping suspect in his career, but even he became a professional coach of short track speed skating after retiring, and he continued his style of standing in the center of the storm of public opinion, including the athletes under him also have a large number of proof of 'legal medication with illness'.

Kirill has even given interviews saying that he is coaching within reasonable rules and has refused to admit any doping-related accusations.

In Su Liang's original timeline, the Huaguo team has chosen an extremely cautious development strategy at this stage because of a series of turmoil caused by Lin Guobin's resignation, and in the previous timeline, the ban on ice and the new rules of ISU did not occur during this time period, and there was no event such as the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, so Kirill's fame was later than now, and the victory and defeat advantage between the players of the Chinese team and Kirill was definitely not as good as it is now.

The coaches in the conference room didn't know a series of information related to Kirill behind this, but after seeing this preliminaries and hearing Su Liang's evaluation of Kirill, they all cautiously put the name Kirill Yefimov in the top position of the key observation object of this four-nation joint invitational tournament.

Chapter 193

With the start of the men's 1500m heats, young and established athletes from Russia, Japan, Canada and China have also made their debuts.

While not all 1500m runners have fully adapted to the new kick-start technique, overall, the 1500m runners' preliminaries have been a little relieved for most ice fans.

But for example, the atmosphere in the conference room of the Chinese national team is slightly more solemn than in the first group of preliminaries.

After the men's and women's 1500m preliminaries were completed, the assistant coaches on the scene directly compared the past preliminaries of each athlete, and hand-drawn a line chart for comparison.

The decline is not significant, but the conclusions are indisputable.

“…… And that's just the 1,500m event. ”

One of the coaches let out a long sigh after looking at the copy document in his hand.

In fact, the coaching staff of the Huaguo team has already been psychologically prepared for the decline in the performance of the players after the technical reform, including they also think that the coaching staff of other countries can also understand this matter, but after seeing the general trend of the decline in the performance of each player at this four-nation joint invitational tournament, there is still a sense of helplessness that the illusion has been broken.

After all, before this, there was still a layer of hope in everyone's hearts, feeling that the 1500m event was not highly dependent on starting technology, and the final impact may not be as big as expected.

But alas, reality is reality.

After reading the preliminary data statistics report in his hand, Lin Guobin's face was also solemn for a moment, and then he smiled gently, reassuring the coaches present: "Don't be so anxious, the matter of technical transformation is not something that can be completed overnight, from the announcement of ISU to the technical transformation and now the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, it has only been less than half a year, we always have to give the players time to adapt, and the coaching staff also needs to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the new technology." ”

"Furthermore, I believe that the technical transformation effect of our Huaguo team is definitely at the forefront of the four countries - this can be clearly seen by looking at the data."

"We are very clear about the direction of technical transformation, even if we will encounter some problems now, but in the same way, the problems we encounter will also be the problems encountered by players and coaches from other countries."

"Relax, I think it's good to have such data in the 1500m preliminaries."

As the backbone of the entire Huaguo short track speed skating team, Lin Guobin's calm, gentle and slow tone sorted out everything to the coaches present, and also made the coaching staff members present gradually relax.

Su Liang, who was sitting on the side, listened to Lin Guobin's speech, and also rubbed the warm little head in his arms relaxedly.

Looking at the little guy's puzzled eyes, Su Liang smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

He just remembered a sentence that his father had repeatedly recited - [It's a pity, if Coach Lin hadn't retired at the beginning, the results of our Huaguo team could have risen a few years earlier. 】

After he crossed, because of various butterfly effects, Lin Guobin is still firmly sitting in the position of head coach of the national team, and he can have time, energy and spare time to cultivate the next generation of leaders he is optimistic about, and the progress of the Huaguo team is also more stable and bold than before.

Most of this is going in a good direction, and of course, at the same time, the Chinese team has also encountered new problems in advance, such as the ban on the ice start and the use of the shoulder-to-shoulder rule, but overall, everything is still good.

Thinking of this, Su Liang opened his mouth in the interval between everyone's whispered discussions: "There is a detail in the live broadcast just now, I saw that Coach Li and several coaches should have doubts - it is a transcendent penalty in the fourth group of the preliminaries, if I am not mistaken, it is that the referee has enabled the principle of shoulder to shoulder." ”

Li Yunlong, who was sitting in front of Su Liang's right, heard Su Liang mention himself, and was just about to turn his head to look at him, when he heard the content of Su Liang's words.

A picture quickly flashed in his mind, it was a transcendence penalty in the fourth group of preliminaries, the players who completed the overtaking from the inside lane can choose very little space for transcendence, according to the past habits, in this case, the probability of foul play by the surpassing player is almost more than 80%, and the vast majority of players will not choose to surpass in the case of a very small chance, but the player in the fourth group of preliminaries just completed a forced overtake, and obviously collided with the front player.

But in the end, the coaching staff who were present did not give the player a penalty.

Indeed, as Su Liang said, several coaches, including him, had brief doubts at that time, but they didn't think of the ISU's new rules at the first time, and only thought that it was their own misjudgment of the foul, and that player may have collided with the opponent when he had already completed the overtaking.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong frowned and asked Su Liang: "Xiaoliang, do you see clearly?" Didn't that collision happen after the player had overtaken? ”

Su Liang nodded affirmatively: "The collision between the two players in that group was created at the moment when the rear player and the front player were side by side. ”

"It's a collision that would have been penalized under the old rules, but now it's a new rule."

Speaking of which, he once again reassured: "This is a very typical case of a shoulder-to-shoulder decision. ”

When the coaches present heard Su Liang's answer, they all looked at each other.

In fact, this is not the first time that Su Liang has emphasized the principle of shoulder-to-shoulder, when the national team was still immersed in the hot atmosphere of technological transformation, Su Liang once mentioned the principle of shoulder-to-shoulder.

But at that time, for the national team, the issue of the ban on ice start was the top priority, and the coaches did not read the new rules, but more attention was still focused on the technical reform, and the study and discussion of the new rules was really insufficient.

After all, the rulebook of short track speed skating is in the hands of ISU, and some of the rules have to be changed at every turn, and after more times, most coaches have a certain lack of sensitivity to the new rules.

Especially under the cover of other obviously more serious problems, such as the new rules that modify the sentence beyond the penalty: "Bullshit ISU, they are encouraging fouls!" ”

This was obviously not a suitable thing to say on such an occasion, but when he cursed it, no one around him made an obvious stop to stop it.

Su Liang didn't explain anything more, he knew that the coach was right, in the short few seasons between the appearance of the side-by-shoulder rule and its cancellation, the proportion of fouls on the short track speed skating surface has increased significantly - the magnitude of the increase and the occasion of the foul are clearly telling everyone that the abnormal increase in the proportion of fouls is rooted in the shoulder-to-shoulder criterion.

***

When the coaching staff in the conference room of the Chinese national team was silent, Jiang Yibo, who was at the scene of the Russian game, also thought of the 'shoulder-to-shoulder principle' that his eldest son had repeatedly emphasized with him when the results of the fourth group of penalties in the men's preliminaries came out.

Su Liang knew that his father would definitely encounter penalties in the new rules when he led the team to Russia this time, so he had a lot of discussions with his father about the new rules when he was at home.

Therefore, Jiang Yibo can be regarded as having a preset psychological preparation for the principle of shoulder-to-shoulder in advance - but after seeing the real punishment, he still tightened his brows.

This shoulder-to-shoulder principle is really not good news for teams that cherish players.

He originally thought that the penalty would at least be tightened to avoid some malicious fouls, but judging from the performance of the players in the fourth group of the preliminaries, the referee team did not mean to tighten the penalty to let the players be cautious.

In other words, judging from the attitude of the referee team, the ISU does encourage this kind of dangerous transcendence.

This clear and affirmative result cast a haze on Jiang Yibo's heart - this time the four-nation joint invitational tournament was okay, most of the players were relatively cautious and abided by the rules, and fouls were inevitable, but they would not deliberately foul.

But at the same time, there are-stirring sticks like South Korea in the international arena.

Jiang Yibo even had the idea of not wanting Su Liang to continue to participate in the 1500-meter distance event in the future - after all, with Su Liang's current strength and the results of crushing the young generation of South Korea, he will definitely be the target of South Korea in the next season.

But Jiang Yibo also understands that since his eldest son has eaten the new rules so thoroughly, it means that he understands the new rules and is not willing to back down in front of the new rules.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yibo's brows tightened tightly -, just Xiaoliang's small body...... No, when he leads the team back, he must call Eric's physical team for a meeting!

Nutritional supplements and training have to be doubled!

Nuan Nuan and Su Liang, who were watching the live broadcast in China, both saw the serious face of their father on the coach's command seat at the same time.

Xiao Bu Nuan looked up at his brother suspiciously: "Brother! Why is Baba so serious? ”

Su Liang rubbed his little head: "I don't know, but it's okay, when Dad comes back, you can find out if you ask him!" ”

Chapter 194

Overall, with the exception of the first decision in the fourth group of the men's 1500m heats based on the shoulder-to-shoulder rule, up to the end of the men's and women's 1500m heats, ice fans around the world were not aware of the impact on skaters after the ban on ice starts.

At the domestic Ice and Snow Kingdom Forum, although some ice fans emphasized that the 1500m and 500m are different in their dependence on the point ice start, the vast majority of ice fans are still more optimistic when they see this stage.

The change in the mood of the spectators came after the start of the first set of events in the men's 500m heats.

In the short track speed skating section of the Ice and Snow Kingdom Forum, after the first group of the 500m preliminaries was completed, the discussion building, which was originally quite hot, stalled for a while, and finally a new comment came out.
