When she finally finished speaking, there was a burst of crackling applause around her......

Qiao Mengmeng: ?!

It turns out that there are many new viewers of short track speed skating who don't know much about the actual situation, although there are TV dramas that have done some basic science popularization, but the more in-depth details are also very limited.

Most people simply thought that Su Liang's state today was average, so he only advanced to the second place in the group in a row, but he didn't consider the problem in connection with the game the day before.

At this time, listening to Qiao Mengmeng, the little girl, explaining to her friend, some of the audience quietly stretched out their ears, and after listening, they all burst open.

"Oh, I see!"

"The little girl said it so well, I understood it immediately!"

"Oh, in this way, Su Liang broke out continuously yesterday for the sake of us audiences?"

"Yes, right? After all, I've heard from their old ice fans that this time it's the short track speed skating event that has attracted so much attention for the first time, even at the previous Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. ”

"Harm, isn't it? To be honest, if you hadn't said Salt Lake City, I wouldn't have remembered when and where the last Winter Olympics were held. ”

"That's right, that's right, although the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are both Olympic Games, it stands to reason that the level of competition should be the same, right? But the Winter Olympics just don't pay much attention to it than the Summer Olympics. This time, there are so many people paying attention to the short track speed skating event, and I have heard more than one old ice fan say that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - the next time I guess we will have to wait until our own country hosts the Winter Olympics, maybe we can have this popularity. ”

Some people are chatting like this, and some people don't know much about the situation: "But what does this have to do with Su Liang's continuous outbreaks yesterday?" ”

Everyone who was chatting in front of them laughed on the spot: "You just touch your conscience and ask yourself, if our Huaguo team didn't achieve such outstanding results yesterday, and Su Liang didn't win the first place in the preliminaries, semifinals and finals in a row, would you think that the gossip we ate melons before was exaggerated?" ”

"Uh......"

The crowd, who didn't know much about the situation, stopped.

Although he wanted to pat his chest and say no, think about it...... It really would.

The vast majority of viewers who can be attracted by the gossip and TV series during this period have already had experience in chasing some sports, or are they just fun parties, in this case, you want to say that they can really enjoy short track speed skating by watching a random game?

Impossible.

Only by giving a wonderful performance like Su Liang did yesterday will the human Mu Qiang's nature gradually nail their eyes to the short track speed skating project.

The vast majority of the spectators present who were really interested in short track speed skating have experienced such a mental journey - if Su Liang did not have this kind of earth-shattering results and performance yesterday, then most of them would probably have the pleasure of watching this competition, and then they would have forgotten about short track speed skating.

Like now, after watching the 500m morning race, you are still discussing the event with great interest?

Harm, unlikely.

As soon as everyone analyzed this, they immediately sighed.

"Speaking of which, I have seen the interviews with Su Liang by foreign reporters after the end of the Huaguo Cup, and I didn't know who he was at that time, and I thought he was the captain of the figure skating team - don't say it, it's very imposing, and the foreign reporter was so scared that he didn't dare to ask a word again."

The audience was chatting happily, and then another old ice fan came out at this time, first affirming some of the previous speculations of everyone, and finally throwing out a joke that has been circulating among ice fans for a long time, but the newcomers don't know -

"Guess why Shang Fei and Chu Rui have relay tasks, but Su Liang doesn't?"

All the novice audience members shook their heads.

"Ahem, because last season, Su Liang's strength was still too weak, if he went to the field to participate in the relay event, it would be easy for his teammates to push him, but if he wanted to push his teammates, ......"

"Ahem, what—can't be pushed."

All:...... Burst.

Okay, we know, Su Liang's strength is indeed lacking, today's 500 meters, just do your best, just do your best!

All the audience present nodded solemnly, saying, 'It's okay, it's normal for Su Liang to be young', while turning around and crackling and pressing the mobile phone keyboard in his hand, he initiated a text message with his friend to discuss this fresh gossip.

All of a sudden, the story about Su Liang's 'strength being too weak' began to spread rapidly from point to surface at a wonderful speed.

***

In the backcourt lounge, there is still a period of time before the start of the 500-meter semifinals in the afternoon, Su Liang and the others have already finished drawing the afternoon group signing order in the morning, and they have already finished lunch at this time, and they are recuperating in the backcourt lounge.

At this moment, Su Liang sneezed inexplicably.

Mu Yuansheng, who was also in the lounge, looked up at him: "Xiaoliang, have you caught a cold?" ”

Su Liang frowned and shook his head: "No." ”

Probably just ...... Someone's talking about him, right?

Mu Yuansheng looked at his junior brother intently for a while, and found that Su Liang just twisted his brows and thought for a while, and then gave up, and his face changed back to the calm Xiaoice block face, and immediately felt that his junior brother was really a little cute.

But before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and Pei Jing and Jiang Yibo walked in together.

"How? Resting okay? ”

After Jiang Yibo entered the door, he greeted Chu Rui, Mu Yuansheng and Su Liang.

Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng both nodded, and Su Liang was about to nod when his father glared at him: "Don't think I didn't hear you sneeze outside the door just now!" ”

Su Liang: ......

Actually, he really didn't have a cold.

In yesterday's 1500-meter race, everyone in the team was very happy when he won, but his physical fitness was indeed a little overdrawn, so that he rested for a while after returning to the backcourt lounge, but was caught by Coach Pei and his father, and even Coach Lin Guobin, who came to the backcourt lounge to congratulate him, was also startled.

His father taught him a lesson at the time, telling him to do what he could when he competed, and to consider the three-day competition schedule comprehensively, so as not to be able to almost drain his body on the first day.

Fortunately, the improvement of his physical fitness and strength in the summer training cycle is really good, although due to age and physical development, he cannot improve the training intensity again, but his physical condition has indeed improved a lot this season.

Yesterday's 1500m was a drain after three races, but it wasn't really bad.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he rarely shamelessly hugged Nuan Nuan and 'confronted' his father together.

Jiang Yibo was also stunned by his two sons, one older and one younger, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to continue to teach his eldest son, and wanted to take Su Liang to eat a good meal to make up for it, but Su Liang has been in the competition for a few days, and the diet has been specially planned by the new nutritionist of the national team, even if the physical energy is overconsumed, he can't eat casually.

So in the end, Jiang Yibo could only hold his breath and brought his unconscious eldest son home all the way, until today, looking at his own boss, his nose is not a nose and an eye is not an eye.

After being glared at by his father, Su Liang coughed dryly and didn't say anything more.

His father glanced at Chu Rui and his senior brother, and said, "Your first semi-final in the afternoon is not very easy, but I hope you can withstand the pressure and win all the promotion places in this group." ”

Don't look at Jiang Yibo, who usually has no chance of winning against Shang Nuannuan, in fact, when training the players and giving various instructions as a coach, Jiang Yibo is very majestic, although he is young.

The first semi-final in the afternoon that he said was not easy to play, mainly because all three players of the Huaguo team advanced to the semi-finals.

The 500m semi-finals are divided into two semi-final groups, with only 4 competitors in each group, and a total of 8 competitors compete for the final 4 finals.

Among them, Mu Yuansheng and Chu Rui were selected in the first group of semifinals in the afternoon during the signing process in the morning.

In other words, in the first group of games, only the players of the Chinese team accounted for half of them.

The other two competitors are also old acquaintances, Russia's Daniel Paplov and South Korea's Lee Jae-hyung.

And Jiang Yibo's 'hope' to Mu Yuansheng and Chu Rui means that in the first group of semi-finals later, he will directly crush the other two opponents and get all the qualifications for the first group of semi-finals in his hands!

Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng did not refute this seemingly completely unreasonable 'hope', but said 'yes' together.

"As for you......"

Jiang Yibo glanced at his boss - in order to prevent Su Liang from continuing to hold Nuan Nuan and the brothers to fight against him today, he specially explained the little guy to Coach Qin and his wife before coming to the backcourt lounge.

But even so, after glaring at his own boss, Jiang Yibo still couldn't teach him anything.

Pei Jing on the side was about to smile when he saw him like this, took Jiang Yibo's words, and said to Su Liang: "What we ask of you in the semi-finals, just keep three and fight for two." ”

This means, as long as Su Liang is among the 4 players, don't come back with the penultimate one.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, the task index given to the national team by the Winter Games Management Center this time is that in the 500-meter final, at least one player from the Chinese team will advance to the final.

Judging from the current situation, Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng, it is no problem to ensure that at least one of them advances to the finals, if both of them can advance to the finals, it will be an overfulfilled task for the Huaguo team.

As for Su Liang's current situation, it really doesn't matter if he makes it to the finals or not.

After all, Su Liang's contribution in the 1500-meter race the day before was enough, and he had already remembered the name Su Liang for the national team and the Winter Sports Management Center, and even the sports federation.

This is also the World Cup Beijing branch of the tournament is not over yet, and when the game is over, the Winter Sports Management Center, the Sports Federation, the Beijing Sports Bureau, the national team, the Beijing team and even the district where Su Liang's current household registration is located are estimated to have to line up to give him some bonuses and hold a commendation meeting by the way.

This is not to say that you are encouraged to paddle, but when it comes to potential and talented players, even if it is for the long-term development of the project, you should not put too much pressure on the players too early.

If the body is too old at a young age, and in the end it affects the future performance development, then it is called a big loss.

In short, the short track speed skating national team, under the leadership of Lin Guobin, is resolutely implementing scientific and reasonable training arrangements and event task arrangements for athletes, in his old man's words, it is possible to vigorously use newcomers, but don't help the seedlings, and put all the responsibility on the players.

Anyway, before Jiang Yibo and them came to the backcourt lounge today, Lin Guobin also specially chatted with them seriously, which is such a theme.

The main thing is to let Su Liang 'relax'.

Su Liang: ......

After Jiang Yibo saw Su Liang's slightly stunned appearance, he 'viciously' stretched out his hand and gave him a burst of chest: "What are you doing?" Do you think your dad and I are the kind of person who raises seedlings? ”

Su Liang subconsciously replied, 'No'.

It's just that although nearly two years have passed since he crossed, he thought that many of the memories before the crossing did not have much impact on him, but in his former memory, the Huaguo team was actually another model with more pressure.

At the very beginning, the Chinese team suffered a heavy defeat in the training invitational tournament with South Korea, which dealt a major blow to the short track speed skating career of the Chinese team.

Lin Guobin resigned, and the Winter Sports Management Center appointed a new coach as the head coach of the Chinese national team.

Many of the decisions made by Lin Guobin when he was in office were completely overturned because of a series of things that caused serious public opinion impact, such as the fiasco in the practice match before he resigned, and the follow-up press conference held by South Korea.

After that, the overall guiding ideology of the Huaguo team was seriously contracted, and empiricism prevailed in the coaching staff, because of the fiasco in the 1500-meter distance, it was believed that the Huaguo team was not suitable for the 1500-meter single event, and the players who were suitable for the middle and long distance were also transferred to the 500-meter short distance individual event to enhance training.

The 500-meter individual event of the Chinese team is indeed getting stronger and stronger, but the lack of talent in the two individual events of 1500 meters and even 1000 meters, or the lack of all-round athletes, once reached the level of 'no one available'.

After overkill, because of the lack of talent in the 1500m and 1000m in international competitions, the chance of achieving results is more pressed on the 500m event.

As a result, the 500-meter distance has brought great mental pressure and competition pressure.

Chu Rui and Mu Yuansheng, as the top 500-meter players in that period, were under pressure in almost every game in the national team.

But perhaps it was also because of the excessive pressure that Chu Rui played abnormally in the World Cup Beijing Station of that time and space, and even failed to advance to the semifinals.

This incident also completely shattered the possibility of long-distance development in Chu Rui's heart, and even earlier Chu Rui's retirement time.

Including the subsequent World Youth Championships also held in Beijing, the results of the Huaguo team were also very dismal, which made the state of the Huaguo short track speed skating team fall to the bottom.

Of course, later some coaches of the short track speed skating national team, such as his father and Li Yunlong, took some young players to carry it and re-stabilize the results of the national team, but they also paid a great price.

For example, Sun Ruixiang's injuries fell at that time, including his brother's later car accident, he didn't listen to his father in too much detail, but it may also be related to the pressure of the game or some problems in the schedule.

Even though the atmosphere of the national team gradually eased after his father took over as head coach, there are still some coaches in the team who firmly continue empiricism and have a serious resistance to foreign coaches and the 1500-meter distance.

In that time and space, the 1500-meter single event of the Huaguo team soared again, which also originated from the appearance of Su Liang.

No one thought that the cross-event competitor from figure skating would be able to tear off the 1,500-meter fat from the South Korean team in a near-monopoly environment in South Korea.

And Su Liang also supported the Chinese men's 1500-meter signboard for a long time with an almost independent support posture - until his father suddenly fell ill and let him leave the field.
