Wu Gang was too lazy to speak, he already understood, and no one could understand the few people watching the live broadcast in this room.

***

The atmosphere in the dormitory of the Chinese national team is 'cheerful and harmonious', and Jiang Yibo's home is quite relaxed at this time.

Before the semifinals began, Little Buddy happily circled around the room counterclockwise, as if mimicking his brother's skating on the ice - of course, his brother would never be able to hold an Ultraman Tiga and a Transformer in his hand when he was competing on the ice.

But after all, it was late at night, Jiang Yibo only let Xiao Budian jump around twice, and then fished the little guy back to the stool and sat down, so as to avoid running around the living room in the middle of the night and affecting the rest of the coaches downstairs.

And after putting Xiao Budian back on the stool and sitting down, Jiang Yibo looked at the replay of the wonderful game pictures on TV at this time, and looked at the game pictures of his eldest son Su Liang and his only disciple Mu Yuansheng interspersed in it, and he was also full of joy.

Many people feel that in this summer training cycle, Su Liang, as the only player in the Huaguo team who does not need to go through the adjustment of the starting style, should be quite easy, but as Su Liang's father, Jiang Yibo certainly knows how much effort his eldest son has put in in the summer training cycle.

From last season to this season, Su Liang's height has jumped by nearly 4 centimeters - the bone age test will not lie, and during the summer training, Su Liang's height has been nearly 174cm.

The changes in physical conditions, the adjustment of body control after the growth of height, the adjustment of the original strength and physical enhancement program, etc., all covered Su Liang's entire summer training cycle silently.

You never know how hard the athletes who seem to lift weights in the arena have been training in private.

In fact, when it was found that Su Liang's figure had changed significantly in a short period of time, the coaching staff was mentally prepared that Su Liang's results would fluctuate to a certain extent, but Su Liang relied on his efforts in the summer training cycle and the excellent results in the previous challenge tournament to put the coaching staff at ease again.

As for Mu Yuansheng, not to mention, the training plan of physical fitness and speed and endurance has been greatly deviated, coupled with the original short-distance related training, which is even more affected by the technical transformation after the ice ban......

But fortunately, whether it is Su Liang, Mu Yuansheng, or Shang Fei, these players have perfectly demonstrated their current strength.

Next, keep up the good work!

Jiang Yibo looked at the live broadcast on TV, clenched his fists in his hands, and silently sent silent encouragement and blessings to Su Liang and them.

Chapter 220

Perhaps it was the good news that all the men's and women's 1500m runners of the Huaguo team advanced to the semi-finals, and the staff of the Huaguo Sports Channel found that the World Cup Canada broadcast in the middle of the night actually had a slight increase in the period before the semi-finals after the preliminaries.

"It's amazing, this ratings data is squeezed into the top three at the same time!"

Although it is the top three in the middle of the night at eleven or twelve o'clock, it is also the top three!

In the past, even the ratings of the Winter Olympics were mediocre, let alone events such as the World Cup.

In the early years, their sports channel would not arrange live broadcasts for the short track speed skating World Cup, at most, after the competition, select a few key matches to fill in the garbage time.

But since the beginning of last season, the live broadcast and broadcast of short track speed skating events on sports channels have gradually increased, and the ratings are actually quite competitive.

"Eh, you say, this is the popularity of short track speed skating in our country, right?"

"Isn't that right? You don't know, including the national team and ice fans, I'm afraid they don't know very well, in fact, Su Liang is quite hot now, after all, he is the player who won the unprecedented World Youth Championship triple crown last season. ”

"That's right, many people around me know Su Liang's name, I once went skating with a friend, the owner of that venue is estimated to be a fan of Su Liang, and there are a lot of photos of Su Liang on the wall, and several friends who went with me recognized him. Those people don't usually care much about sports events, and they said that they would want to skate, and they also happened to see Su Liang's report before, so they were a little interested......"

"Harm, my aunt also asked me, she planned to let my cousin learn what kind of sports specialty, so she asked me here, and she also mentioned Su Liang, saying that my cousin was from the same school, and now the students of their twenty-second middle school practice short track speed skating has become a pandemic, and everyone regards Su Liang as an idol."

The staff of the two sports channels have been talking and chatting, and they all feel that in the past two years, the popularity of short track speed skating has really increased a lot.

Finally, looking at the picture of the short track speed skating Canada branch that was also being broadcast live in the studio, I felt a little emotional.

"I forgot which big guy I heard before, if competitive sports want to be popular, they must have results, and they must have star players who can bear the results."

"I thought it was a bit too absolute at the time, but now it seems that the boss is right."

"As far as Su Liang's current momentum is concerned, if it can continue to be maintained and can come up with better results, then the short track speed skating project will be more popular in China several times!"

***

Whether it is the discussion of domestic ice fans, or the discussion of Erxiang or the staff of the sports channel, it will not affect the scene of the game at this time.

After the men's and women's 1500m heats in the morning, a quick semi-final group was held.

still follows the usual grouping method, Su Liang, Mu Yuansheng and Shang Fei randomly went to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd groups of the semifinals respectively.

In the preliminary stage, the three South Korean players who had hardly met the Chinese team corresponded to the Chinese team in the semi-final stage, and were equally distributed in the three semi-final groups.

As the only two teams to qualify for the competition, coupled with the historical entanglement between Huaguo and South Korea in the short track speed skating event, before the start of the competition, it was only the signing stage, and the two teams were already in a bit of tension with each other.

The players representing South Korea this time are Kim Dong-jae, Lee Jung-tae, and Lee Jun-tae.

Among these three players, in addition to Kim Dong-jae, such as Lee Jung-tae and Lee Joon-tae, they have all dealt with Hwakook's players more than once.

Although Su Liang and the others will definitely meet these South Korean players in the semifinals, the good news is that although these people are not absolutely upright gentlemen on the field, they can definitely be called sons of justice compared to the humanoid foul book like Choi Hyun-tae.

And Lee Joon-tae, the trio, coincidentally had the same experience of competing with Su Liang at the Canadian leg at the end of last season – a relatively easy opponent to control, according to Su Liang.

In the backcourt lounge of the Huaguo team, Zhang Chengyun also fell into a short silence after hearing Su Liang comment on Kim Dongjae and the three.

On the contrary, his disciple Shang Fei agreed with Su Liang's statement after thinking about it.

"That Kim Dong-jae was in the same group as me in the preliminaries, and I had a good fight with him for a short time, and if the opponent was a ruthless South Korean player, I wouldn't have dealt with it so easily."

Kim Dong-jae is one of the less well-known of the three South Korean players in this competition, and the players of the Huaguo team have not had many opportunities to deal with him in the past, as for the two big Lee Jung-tae and Lee Jun-tae, Shang Fei and Su Liang, and even Mu Yuansheng have had experience in the same competition with them.

Listening to Shang Fei and Su Liang's words, Zhang Chengyun finally nodded.

As the head coach of Somfy, and as the coach of the team, of course, he also collected the information of the players in this World Cup in advance.

Although Su Liang's evaluation is a little too out-of-the-box, it is indeed accurate.

It's just that Lee Joon-tae and Kim Dong-jae are easy to say, but when it comes to big Lee Jung-tae...... This can be regarded as having a 'grudge' against Su Liang.

In the men's 1500m semifinals of last season's World Cup in Beijing, this big Li Zhengtai blocked the foul because of Su Liang's 'inducing foul', ate a pen (PEN) given by the referee, and lost the qualification to advance to the finals.

Su Liang's inducement foul at that time was very secretive, and even the coaching staff of the national team only determined when they repeatedly reviewed afterwards that the pen that Li Zhengtai ate was deliberately induced by Su Liang.

And Da Li Zhengtai may not have reacted at the time, but afterwards he only needed to watch the video of the review more, and Bacheng could also wake up - why did he lose the qualification because of a foul.

As for Jiang Yanhe, who was also fooled and lame by Su Liang that time, he was not on the list of participants this time, but just having this big Li Zhengtai is enough to make people hurt.

What's more, this big Li Zhengtai and Su Liang happen to be in the same semi-final group.

In the lounge, for his list of opponents in the same group, the most calm person was Su Liang.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."

Facing Coach Zhang Chengyun's nervous gaze, Su Liang was very calm.

What does he have to worry about?

The person who should be worried should be Da Lee Zhengtai.

If there is no idea of fouling, forget it, once Da Lee Jung-tae has the intention of fouling - it is not for nothing that the South Korean player who has been deceived once, twice, three or four times in his hands.

He also doesn't mind giving Da Lee Zhengtai another 'PEN'.

Thinking of this, Su Liang's face became calmer and calmer.

Only Zhang Chengyun frowned, deeply worried about Su Liang, who might be 'revenged' in the semifinals later.

Chapter 221

At 11:10 a.m. Canadian time, the long-awaited men's 1500m semifinals were finally kicked off.

While the spectators were waiting for the start of the game, the on-site staff had completed a series of work such as pouring ice and replenishing the ice, including the black marker blocks on the ice, which had also been arranged and placed by the on-site staff.

When Su Liang warmed up with the players in the men's group, he unsurprisingly felt that several eyes were on him.

One of the most conspicuous eyes is the player Lee Jung-tae from South Korea.

In fact, after the Beijing Short Track Speed Skating World Cup last season, Da Li Zhengtai did not compete with Su Liang, but there is no doubt that it was the original division competition that made Dali Zhengtai deeply remember Su Liang, a young player of the Huaguo team.

However, this is only the warm-up stage after all, and even if these eyes are stared at for a long time, they will not have any impact on Su Liang.

In the live broadcast commentary room of the domestic sports channel, with the switch of the live camera, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng also noticed that some players on the scene paid special attention to Su Liang.

Looking at the picture in front of her, Liao Yuwei said with a smile: "It can be seen that Su Liang, a player of our Huaguo team, should get a lot of attention in this game." ”

"Of course." Lin Fangzheng also smiled and said: "After all, there are many veterans who have been suppressed by our Su Liang players in this arena. ”

"Just in the pre-match interview, it was clear that he would definitely beat Su Liang, including Samuel Adams of the Canadian team, and there are even more players who said that they hope to compete for the championship in the new season."

Since you want to compete for the championship, then of course you have to defeat other opponents first, and it is normal for these opponents to include Su Liang of the Huaguo team.

Speaking of this, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng both looked at each other and smiled.

At the beginning of last season, Su Liang was just an unknown junior short track speed skating player, and this season, although some people feel that it is still a bit too early to call Su Liang a famous short track speed skating player in China, no one will raise any objections to calling him a talented player in China's short track speed skating event.

Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng looked at Su Liang, who was warming up on the field, and looked at Su Liang's awe-inspiring expression in the face of all the attention around him, and they had more expectations for this talented teenager of the Huaguo team.

Such a talented player, he is only 16 years old, so when he grows up a little more, has a stronger physique, and has more mature skills...... How far will he grow?

It is obviously not just Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng who have such expectations for Su Liang.

At this time, in the short track speed skating section of the Ice and Snow Kingdom Forum in China, ice fans are also discussing the upcoming semi-finals.

122L: [Su Liang is in the first group of the semifinals, right?] Can't wait to see the game start! 】

133L: [Su Liang in the preliminary round, I feel that I haven't made any effort yet - anyway, it's really exciting to surpass the outer way, and I look forward to seeing how Su Liang will advance to the finals in the next semi-finals! ] 】

136L: [Wait, everyone upstairs has already tacitly agreed that Su Liang will definitely advance to the finals?] Su Liang's group of opponents is not weak! Like South Korea's Lee Jung-tae, who was able to reach the final at the World Championships, and Germany's Jonas Krisamer, who rose strongly in the second half of last season and also achieved excellent results at the World Championships, and the other three players who could advance to the semi-finals were definitely not as uneven as the preliminaries. 】

139L: [Friends in front, don't just grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!] Didn't you see that in the warm-up stage just now, South Korea's big Lee Zhengtai, his eyes are about to stick to our Su Liang, and Canada's star Samuel Adams, he admitted before the game, hoping to win Su Liang in the game - in terms of the strength of these two players, you should also admit that it is also the final stage of the World Championships and even the Olympic Games, right? Even they have such a degree of concern for Su Liang, why do we want to destroy our prestige? 】

……

The ice fans in the forum, you and I are talking about it, the discussion is very hot, although there are occasionally some deviations in opinions, but they are all full of goodwill and expectations for Su Liang, waiting, hoping to see Su Liang's perfect performance in this game.

***

On the coach's command seat at the scene, Zhang Chengyun, the leader coach of the Huaguo team, stood next to the field, although in the backcourt lounge before, Su Liang had already told him that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, but Zhang Chengyun was still unstoppable.

After all, according to the experience of these coaches, the young players on the field can indeed play amazing performances from time to time, but from the perspective of the stability of the state, the veterans are still more calm and mature.

Of course, Zhang Chengyun knows that Su Liang is not like an ordinary young player, and he has already had a surprisingly stable performance in his performance throughout last season - but who can really say anything about competitive sports?

Even veterans who have experienced dozens or even hundreds of games will inevitably have moments of sluggishness, let alone young players like Su Liang?

It's just that no matter how worried he is, Zhang Chengyun must stand firmly on the coach's command seat and give Su Liang the best on-the-spot guidance as much as possible.

***

Shang Fei and Mu Yuansheng were also standing on the preparation bench at the scene, and their eyes were focused on Su Liang, who was already preparing for the competition on the field.
