Everyone praised that the national team was really smart and wise.

At the same time, ice fans also secretly sighed - Su Liang didn't come to participate in the competition, it was really the right choice, and the current World Youth Championships and Su Liang are indeed completely different levels!

Didn't you look at Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang, who have been under the influence of Su Liang for a long time, and their level has already reached the world's top level in the youth group?

***

Not only ice fans, before the start of the semifinals in the afternoon, in the lounge of the national team, Er Xiang also had a straight face, and told Li Yunlong and Wu Gang about his discovery with an indignant face.

"Lao Li, Gangzi, let me tell you, these foreign players are really bad! All of them have black hearts! ”

Li Yunlong: ?

Wu Gang: ......

Both turned their eyes to where Er Xiang was, intending to listen to his high opinion and see why he said that.

I saw Er Xiang indignantly said: "In the preliminaries and quarterfinals in the morning, they are inevitably too watery, right?" I don't feel like I'm doing my best! ”

Speaking of this, Er Xiang suddenly changed his triumphant face, patted his chest and said: "But they deserve it, they didn't do their best, and in the end they won't be able to qualify for the semifinals!" ”

"Really, can't you honestly give it your all?"

After Er Xiang finished complaining like this, he saw Li Yunlong in front of him looking at him as if he was looking at a fool, and Wu Gang's stinky face seemed to have a hint of ridicule.

Er Xiang didn't know for a moment whether to ask them why they had this expression first, or to ask first, 'Gangzi, are you still laughing?' ’。

After Li Yunlong was silent for a moment, when Er Xiang asked again, 'Lao Li, why are you looking at me like this', he patted Er Xiang's unlucky child on the shoulder speechlessly, and said, "Those opponents of yours will go all out in the afternoon, you should be prepared not to relax." ”

Er Xiang immediately waved his hand: "That's for sure!" My boss has been practicing with us for a few days before, even for the sake of my boss's face, I can't let my guard down! ”

Wu Gang looked at the second lack in front of him, and wanted to ask him - have you ever thought that it is because we have been abused by your boss for a few days, so your level has improved?

But thinking of the end, Wu Gang still didn't say this to Sun Ruixiang, the second shortage.

Let him continue to play with such an illusion, as the so-called fool has a fool's fortune, and that's good.

Moreover, in fact, not only Er Xiang, after having some experience in the same game as Su Liang, he also felt that the boundaries of his strength that had imprisoned him had loosened a little.

It's hard to say why.

But that's the benefit of playing against a high-level opponent – it's only when you're playing against a higher-level opponent that you can feel more of the subtle difference that you wouldn't notice in your usual training and against opponents of the same level.

This difference may be that you will be able to observe the opponent's ability to control the game more intuitively on the field, or you may feel the timing of the opponent's choice to enter and exit the corner, and you can also personally feel the angle and body amplitude of the opponent when entering and exiting the corner.

Of course, there are still many things that can really be felt, and it is precisely because of these differences that can only be felt in the same game, and the accumulation of bits and pieces makes them different from the past in terms of strength, whether it is in terms of vision, competitive mentality, perception of opponents, etc.

These were all brought to them by Su Liang.

Once upon a time, Wu Gang was also one of the thorns who were unhappy when he saw Su Liang, but with the two years of getting along with the national team, from the meticulous training he saw Su Liang every day to the all-out effort in the game and then to other things, the unhappiness with Su Liang that had been derived from his personal experience had already receded unconsciously.

Now all that remains is the stubbornness to catch up with Su Liang.

Of course, he knew how much difference there was between a genius of Su Liang's level and him.

But it doesn't matter, he just wants to try to fight and see how high he can chase him along Su Liang's back!

***

In the semi-finals that afternoon, it was with those 'buffs' brought by Su Liang that others didn't know that Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang of the Huaguo team rushed all the way into the finals!

South Korea's Ko Jae-yong and Kim Hyun-deok also made it to the final, along with Russia's Kirill Yefimov and Canada's Eric LePage.

These six skaters can be called the top talents of today's young generation of short track speed skating, especially in the 1500m event, which can be regarded as their forte.

Rao is Wu Gang, who has a firm belief in his heart, is already faintly nervous at this time.

On the contrary, it was Er Xiang, the second goods, who finally woke up when he advanced to the finals - oh, it turned out that it was not that other players were deliberately paddling, but that the strength of him and Wu Gang had indeed improved!

As soon as this idea came out, Er Xiang was suddenly full of confidence at this stage, and he even talked to Wu Gang about his discovery with great interest when he went down the ice in the semi-finals - "Gangzi Gangzi, it turns out that they are not paddling on purpose!" ”

There were reporters from overseas near their ice mouth, some brought their own translators, and when they heard Erxiang's words, their faces became strange - this player of the Huaguo team, is he deliberately mocking his opponents?!

But in short, by the time it came to the finals, the second player was in full form, even when facing Gao Jaeyong, Eric and Russian player Kirill, who had made him very irritated in the previous match, he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because of this confident state that his competitive state was stimulated to the top, and when the final began, he was like an inexhaustible force, bursting all the way to the front like a bulldozer.

Wu Gang is different from his style, Wu Gang's sliding style is closer to Su Liang, although he is not as good as Su Liang's improvisation tactics master on the ice, but his ability to control the game tactics is also very good.

In this game, Sun Ruixiang charged forward, and then Wu Gang maintained three or four calm observation of the opponent's stability and sliding, although the two of the Huaguo team did not quickly connect in the game, but Wu Gang and Russia's Kirill actually have a subtle tacit understanding, the two blocked South Korea's Gao Jaeyong and Kim Hyun-deok respectively, so that South Korea's two people could not get close to cooperate.

In the whole game, Er Xiang was with an indomitable excitement, and even used the ring ring tactics, and the players in the rear were cautious, and also considered that Er Xiang was so explosive in the early stage, and the speed and endurance in the later stage may not be able to guarantee that he would ring to the end, so most of them chose not to follow the slide.

Only Gao Jaeyong, who had participated in the South Korea Invitational Tournament, wanted to chase during the period, but Gao Jaeyong used the tactic of delaying the start in the starting stage and did not compete for the early position, so even if Gao Jaeyong wanted to chase Sun Ruixiang, he was not successful.

Wu Gang was ready to step forward to fill the position after Er Xiang's lack of physical fitness at any time, but Er Xiang maintained this advantage of his throughout the whole process, until the final sprint stage, and no one could successfully surpass him.

Until the end of this game, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei in the live broadcast commentary seat also gave surprise commentators: "Congratulations to my country's Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang for winning one gold and one bronze in the men's 1500 meters for my country at the Short Track Speed Skating World Youth Championships!" Congratulations to them!! ”

Chapter 280

- Jin Yitong, when seeing the two good results won by Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang, even the coaches of the national team were a little surprised.

After all, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the strongest of the Huaguo team in the 1500-meter single event has always been Su Liang, and under Su Liang, including Sun Ruixiang, Wu Gang, Shang Fei, these young players, are now far from Su Liang's opponents.

Under such circumstances, how could they think that Sun Ruixiang, who was completely unable to compete with Su Liang in the competition, could actually win the gold medal of the World Youth Championships in one fell swoop without Su Liang appearing?

It wasn't until the men's 1500m results in front of them that the dust had finally settled, and many people reacted - although their strength was not as good as Su Liang, their 1500m individual strength was placed in a field like the World Youth Championships, and they already had the ability to compete with the world's top young athletes!

After realizing this point, whether it is a coach, a player or an ice fan of the Huaguo team, they finally really realized that the 1500 meters of the Huaguo team had already gotten up!

The 1500-meter long-distance event, which was once a serious shortcoming of the Chinese team, has already been made up for by the unconsciously - little by little!

On the seat of the Huaguo team players at the scene, Lin Guobin sat in the audience, looking a little stunned after winning the gold medal on the field, and then dancing in ecstasy after confirming his results, and Wu Gang who took the national flag from the staff, threw it into Erxiang's arms, draped it on his back, and then began to slide around the field.

Looking at the two people on the field, and feeling the cheers and ecstasy that had exploded in all directions of the scene, Lin Guobin also smiled and applauded in the direction of the arena.

On the side, Zhang Dongcheng, the leader of the Huaguo short track speed skating team, was also applauding in the direction of the arena, and while applauding, he said to Lin Guobin next to him: "Old Lin, you see, our new generation of short track speed skating in Huaguo has really grown up!" ”

Once upon a time, these old fellows used to sit in a humble office, worried about the results of foreign athletes, and also felt unsustainable about the limited support for winter sports in China.

Once upon a time, they visited a foreign winter sports training base, and after returning to China, they saw that the athletes in their team could only train on the ice on the outdoor open-air training ground in the cold winter months, and worked hard for the fledgling Huaguo short track speed skating project - little by little.

Once upon a time, they listened to the voices of the whole world as if they were saying that Huaguo could not get up 1,500 meters, and they were physically and mentally exhausted looking at the difficult maintenance of echelon construction and the dilemma of insufficient talents.

He also remembered that he had just partnered with Lin Guobin, took over the responsibility of the national team leader, and Lin Guobin and Lin Guobin built the basic team of the national team bit by bit, and the ambition of the two at that time - one day, the players of our Chinese national team can also stand on the stage and podium of the Winter Olympics, so that our Chinese national flag will be raised over the field of the Winter Olympics short track speed skating event, and our Chinese national anthem will resound throughout the field!

Little by little, bit by bit, the lofty words and ambitions of the past, the setbacks and failures of the past, are still in front of me, as if vividly.

He and Lin Guobin can be said to have stumbled on the road, and pulled the Huaguo team to the present little by little, during which they also went through a lot of detours and fell into one pit after another.

But now......

Although this is only a World Youth Championship, although it is not even the strongest young player in their Huaguo team, the victory in front of him has made Zhang Dongcheng's eyes moist.

Lin Guobin's eyes were also faintly wet, he smiled and shook hands with the old man, nodded and said, "Yes, the new generation of short track speed skating of our Huaguo team has really grown up!" ”

He was glad that he had adhered to his original choice, and he was even more glad that Jiang Yibo was able to bring back such a top player as Su Liang to the Huaguo team.

He deeply knows that the success of young players such as Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang in front of him now is not only the credit of the national team, but also the credit of their own efforts, and there is also a medal of merit that many people have not expected, which should belong to Su Liang.

It is precisely because Su Liang has opened up more possibilities for Huaguo short track speed skating in front of him, and set a goal for these young players to chase, so that the young players have the courage not to be afraid of challenges and not afraid to surpass in the competition!

Lin Guobin can even imagine that if it weren't for Su Liang, the 'leader' leading the way, the growth of the Huaguo team in the 1500m event would never be as smooth as it is now.

Thinking of this, Lin Guobin's eyes faintly swept in the direction of Su Liang behind him, and saw Su Liang holding the little dot in his arms, the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them were the same, although the two brothers had different temperaments, but the eyebrows and eyes of the two were very straightforward and frank joy.

"Su Liang is a good boy."

After glancing at Su Liang behind him, Lin Guobin smiled and whispered to the old guy beside him.

When they discussed withdrawing from the competition with Su Liang, they were worried about whether Su Liang would mind withdrawing from the competition - after all, no matter what, this was an honor that was easy for Su Liang.

But obviously, Su Liang really has no guilt about this, and he is sincerely applauding and celebrating the two players on the field, Sun Ruixiang and Wu Gang.

Celebrate their victories and glory!

***

On the same day, after the award ceremony, when Er Xiang came to the national team's shuttle bus in a daze, he and Wu Gang were greeted by another cheer and applause from everyone on the bus.

"Hey, hey, hey."

Er Xiang scratched his head, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was already smirking at this time.

But after he saw Su Liang, his eyes lit up, he rubbed in front of Su Liang, and said to Su Liang with a look of adoration: "Boss! You're awesome! ”

Su Liang: "......"

Su Liang didn't know where Erxiang's brain circuit flashed again, and suddenly such a sentence came.

Erxiang smiled hehehe: "Thanks to the boss, you abused me and Gangzi some time ago, and when I was competing in the arena today, I thought those players didn't work hard!" ”

Su Liang: "......"

Surrounding other national team staff: "...... Burst. ”

Lin Yongsheng didn't expect that Erxiang, an unlucky child, had just won the award, and after getting in the car, he started to commit two again.

Xiao Budian, who was sitting in Su Liang's arms, looked confused: "Brother Erxiang, what do you mean by abusing you?" ”

Hearing Xiao Bu's doubts, Er Xiang was about to continue beeping, but Wu Gang behind him covered his mouth first, and then Wu Gang, who naturally had three white eyes and a stinky face, glared at Er Xiang with a 'vicious' gaze, which stopped this unlucky guy's mouth.

However, everyone in the national team understood the meaning of Er Xiang's words, and during the training camp of the World Youth Championships players, Su Liang not only trained normally on his own day, but also took extra time to adjust the speed special training in his normal training to a training match with the national youth training team.

Although the number of games is limited, such as Sun Ruixiang, Wu Gang, Liu Qiutong, Li Binyang, Zhao Zimo, the regular selection and substitute players of the training team, were all 'abused' by Su Liang in the game, and also in the game with Su Liang, the overall competitive state has been significantly improved.

After all, among these players, not to mention Liu Qiutong, Li Binyang, Zhao Zimo, even Er Xiang and Wu Gang, they basically have no chance to play with Su Liang this season.

In the process of playing with Su Liang, this high-intensity confrontation with the world's top players in a short period of time quickly reshaped their feelings for the opponent, and because of this, Er Xiang felt that the opponent had no strength.

But, you know, you don't have to talk in front of others, isn't this waiting to be beaten up by Su Liang, Wu Gang and Jiang Yibo?

Erxiang's two goods were also penetrated by Wu Gang's 'death sight', and then they looked at Xiao Bu Chunliang's confused gaze, so he stood up stiffly, coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Cough, what, Brother Erxiang said wrong just now, it should be thanks to your brother who accompanied me to train ......!" ”

"Oh......"

Xiao Budian nodded as if he didn't understand, and after seeing Wu Gang beside Er Xiang, he quickly raised the Transformer in his hand with two small meat hands, and said to Wu Gang with shining eyes: "Brother just now!" The warm belt has just come to cheer you on! ”

Everyone in the national team already knew that Wu Gang, a guy whose face was so stinky that people retreated from ten miles away, actually had a good relationship with Su Liang's younger brother, but at this time, he was still a little surprised to see Xiao Budian holding a transformer and saying these words to him.

However, Wu Gang didn't care about the eyes of everyone around him at all, walked up to Xiao Budian, touched his head, and patted the head of the transformer in the little guy's hand, then squatted down and said 'thank you' to Xiao Budian with parallel eyes.
