After all, they are a strange country that can be pushed even by their own teammates in order to win.

Thinking of this, Wu Gang also rubbed his head with a headache.

If he encounters such a combination of sticks, he may be so angry that he simply strikes first - but he knows that Su Liang will not.

Thinking of this, Wu Gang tightened his brows, and couldn't help but start thinking about what means would he use to solve the threat from these two stick players if it was Su Liang?

***

In the backcourt lounge of South Korea, the South Korean players who also saw the grouping list were not shocked by others, such as Lee Jung-tae and Choi Sang-yong, who both showed a 'determined to win' look in their eyes after seeing the list.

Lee Jae-hyung doesn't care, it's not him who is in the same group as Su Liang.

Although he disdained Lee Jung-tae's methods, as a member of the South Korean team, he had no extra strength to stop their plans.

Choi Sungye, the head coach of the South Korean team, clasped his hands around his chest and said coldly: "You have already disappointed people once, and I hope you will not have a second time." ”

Although Cui Chengye's speech did not clearly express anything, the meaning of it was very clear.

Da Lee Jung-tae and Choi Sang-yong both nodded, indicating that they understood.

Lee Jae-hyung frowned and wanted to say something, but he also knew that he had no position to oppose this, so he could only remain silent at the scene.

At 1:10 p.m. on March 20, 2004, Swedish time, after a short break, the staff returned to the scene one after another and began to arrange the ice surface to warm up in groups.

The first to start the warm-up was still the women's group of players, a total of 8 players in the two groups, and there was no need to warm up in groups, and the 8 players went to the ice together under the guidance of the staff.

Among them, the three players of the Huaguo team are naturally the focus of attention of the opponents, after all, the performance of the Huaguo team in advancing to the semifinals this time still suppressed the players from other countries.

Although it has always been known that the Chinese team is better at the 500-meter short distance event, the ISU has just made a rule adjustment this season, prohibiting the ice start, which the Chinese team was originally better at, so that many countries, especially the Chinese athletes, have to adjust their starting skills.

Many people think that this restriction will definitely cause the 500m individual results of the Huaguo team to drop seriously, but they didn't expect the Huaguo team to be affected by much?!

Yes, the results of the Chinese team are a little worse than in the ice era, but they still occupy the top of the 500m event.

This makes it difficult for many teams to accept that this is true – why? Can the Chinese team make the most suitable technical transformation plan choice so quickly and firmly?

You must know that in addition to the Huaguo team, there are some teams who hesitate for a whole season, and even some players find that they are not suitable for this starting style after a long period of cross-start training, and then make new technical adjustments.

Of course, if the Chinese team only has the 500m event to maintain its strength as always, then the teams of other countries will not have so much pressure.

Take a look at the current configuration of the Huaguo team!

Among the three women's team players on the field, two of them actually achieved excellent results in the women's 1500m individual event the day before!

Although the two players of the women's team of the Huaguo team do not have the absolute crushing strength of Su Liang of the men's team, being able to win medals already shows that their strength is good enough.

After all, this is the World Championships!

One of the top short track speed skating events that the world's short track speed skaters can dream of, and being able to compete at the World Championships is enough to show that you have the top strength in your country.

And winning a medal in the final of the World Championships means that you definitely have what it takes to be at the top of the world.

You may be lucky enough to make it to the final of the World Championships, but you can't win a medal again with luck – Sweden's Tully Allison is the proof of that.

Now, the two young players of the Huaguo team won first

won the women's 1500m individual medal, and easily advanced to the semifinals in the 500m individual event.

They originally thought that after the retirement of the two talented female players of the previous generation of the Chinese national team, the Chinese national team would not re-emerge so quickly in the individual event of the 1500 meters.

But now, it is clear that the truth is not what they suspected.

"The era of the Chinese team is coming......"

Someone whispered with emotion.

***

After a short warm-up, the women's event started first.

"First of all, in the first group of the women's 500m semifinals, China's Liu Yuqing and Lin Meng, as well as Germany's Lena Friese and South Korea's Han So-yeon!"

With the appearance of the players, in the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei also began the official commentary of the event.

"Now the commentator on the scene is introducing the players on the stage - in this game, two players from my country, Liu Yuqing and Lin Meng, will start in the first and fourth lanes respectively."

Liao Yuwei nodded and continued: "Liu Yuqing won the first place in the group with a very strong performance in the quarterfinals, Lin Meng's performance was slightly wrong, and he advanced to the semifinals with the second place in the group. ”

"Yes, compared with the 1500m long distance event, the former can not care much about the starting stage of the runners, but in the 500m event, the starting path of the runners and the performance of the runners in the starting stage still have a great impact on the race."

"Yes, Mr. Lin is right, usually in the 500-meter short-distance event, the explosiveness and starting performance of the runners are very important - whether the runners can seize the leading position in the starting stage is also very crucial, which largely determines the final result of the runners in a race, so in the 500-meter event, the contestants will be very fierce for the early leading position, and the result of the competition for the leading position will also be linked to the final result of the runners to a large extent."

Of course, when Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei said this, a familiar figure flashed in their minds almost at the same time - Su Liang from the men's group next door.

The two looked at each other with a smile, both knowing what was in each other's eyes.

Whether the impact of this starting stage on the final result of the runner is 'decisive' still depends on the division of people.

For example, Su Liang next door, his performance in the starting explosion stage is rarely particularly good, which is determined by his age and physical conditions at the current stage and his personal physical characteristics, but this does not prevent Su Liang from achieving excellent results in the 500 meters.

This thought only flashed through the minds of Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei, and soon, they still turned their attention to the first group of the women's semi-finals in front of them.

At this time, the 4 runners on the field have already stood in their respective starting preparation areas, waiting for the instructions of the on-site starter-

Soon, the command of the starter at the scene began to sound-

"Stand up, get ready—"

"Bang-"

The first group of competitions this afternoon has officially begun!

Chapter 316

"Oops, Lin Meng's start is slow!"

At the moment when the starting gun sounded at the scene, Liu Yuqing, who was in the innermost lane, had not hesitated to kick the ice and start a quick run, and the German player Lena Fries on the second lane was not slow at all, quickly approaching the outside of Liu Yuqing, although she did not seize the lead position for the first time, but Lena Fries obviously wanted to make a mistake under heavy pressure through Liu Yuqing's psychological confrontation.

Han Soyan on the third lane has already reached the inner lane, and there is still a certain distance from Liu Yuqing and Lena Fries in front of her, and it looks like she should also be waiting for the opportunity to surpass from the inner lane.

Lin Meng is the outermost player among the four, and the start reaction is slow, and there has been an obvious backward trend in the future, but this mistake is in the calculation - before the start of this game, Lin Meng and Liu Yuqing's plan is to fight for two and protect one, in order to prevent Han Suyan from affecting the opponent again through the starting foul in the starting stage, Lin Meng and Liu Yuqing discussed it, and Lin Meng slowed down the starting speed to ensure that in the case of Han Suyan running, one of the two can be in a fuller state.

After having this plan, Liu Yuqing's start was more decisive and unscrupulous.

Speaking of which, this is Lin Meng's sacrifice of his own results, but the two have already considered Lin Meng's performance when discussing this coordination tactic - because of the performance mistake in the quarterfinals, Lin Meng, who is on the outermost road, originally lacked advantages, and if he sacrificed his results to pull an insurance, Lin Meng felt that he would not lose.

This is also the insurance strategy she took the initiative to propose.

In the following races, Lin Meng's performance also confirmed this - she started with all her speed after cutting into the inner lane, and after catching up with Han So-yeon, she kept an eye on Han So-yeon, constantly swinging on the outside lane to exert psychological pressure on Han So-yeon.

It was a very simple and straightforward tactic, but it did cause a lot of trouble to Han So-yeon, making it difficult for her to concentrate on finding the opportunity that Liu Yuqing leaked in front of her.

During this period, Han Suyan wanted to simply give up the plan to surpass the inner path because of Lin Meng's urgent staring, but her speed ability was not enough for her to catch up with Liu Yuqing and Lena Friese in front.

And although Lin Meng has been in the support position, she didn't really give up her chance completely, when Han So-yeon was restricted by her in the second half of the game, in the last lap, Lin Meng overtook Han So-yeon from the outside and began to chase at high speed behind Lena Fries!

"A surprise move!"

Liao Yuwei praised loudly after seeing Lin Meng's pursuit, including Lena Fries, who was not far in front of Lin Meng, and did not think that Lin Meng would grit his teeth and chase in the final stage.

Perhaps because of this, Lena Fries made some mistakes in the tension, which directly led to a huge gap in the inner lane, so that Lin Meng, who seized this opportunity, quickly completed the overtaking directly from the inner lane!

In just half a lap, the changes that occurred on the field made the audience dizzy.

"Amazing willpower! Lin Meng's insistence on daring to think and fight made her wait for the opportunity that belonged to her on the field! ”

Originally, at the beginning of this race, many people thought that Lin Meng, who started a little slowly, had no chance, but he didn't expect the last lap of the peak to turn.

"It's a combination of hard work and luck!"

When Liu Yuqing and Lin Meng passed the finish line and the sliding stage, the two girls hugged each other excitedly, and finally waved to the audience hand in hand, celebrating this unexpected lucky promotion.

It's a pity that the god of luck has not always favored the Huaguo team, in the second group of the women's semi-finals, although Jiang Yufei also played her best, but still lost to South Korea's Lee Min Jung and Canada's Sharna - in this match, Jiang Yu Fei's first start was very good, but South Korea's Lee Min Jung once again used a starting foul tactic, making the first start invalid.

At the second start, Italy's Jessica Calavelli was sent off because she was nervous and committed a foul at the start.

Two consecutive starting fouls affected Jiang Yufei's state, so that she was too slow to respond at the third start and lost the opportunity, in the process of her trying to overtake with all her might, Li Minzhen strictly guarded the whole process and did not leave Jiang Yufei a chance to overtake, and finally had to regretfully leave the field with the third place in the group.

Although unfortunately eliminated, Li Minzhen's performance obviously aroused Jiang Yufei's backbone.

"Tomorrow's 1000 meters, let's see!"

Regardless of whether Li Minzhen could understand Chinese or not, Jiang Yufei dropped this sentence and turned to the ice, ending her entire race in today's 500m event.

***

When the women's event was over and the staff went to the field to clear the ice and tidy up the track, Pei Jing once again emphasized to Su Liang and Mu Yuansheng all possible measures in South Korea.

"As you can see in Yufei, fouls at the start are a common tactic used by South Korea, and it is entirely possible that they will happen again in the second game of the semi-finals later."

"In addition to this, try to avoid physical contact with South Korean big Lee Jung-tae and Choi Sang-yong - don't forget that the current overall rules are more friendly to physical collisions and dangerous overtakes, and South Korea will definitely use the corresponding rules, and there is a high probability that dangerous overtaking."

"Either keep the inner way completely, or protect yourself."

Pei Jing finally explained to Su Liang and Mu Yuansheng - after all, South Korea had a history of injuring the opponent in the same field and could not continue to compete, not to mention that Shang Fei's glass physique was given by the South Korean players.

"You two, do you hear that?"

Pei Jing looked at his own disciple and his senior brother in front of him, and felt that facing these two people was really a headache for him.

Needless to say, Su Liang is a little madman, but he is still a little madman with brains, and it is difficult for you to tell whether he is going crazy or using tactics on the field.

Mu Yuansheng is usually gentle and easy to speak, but on the field, especially on the 500-meter track, he doesn't care about the technical deformation in the end, and he will be done anyway.

These are just two brothers......

Pei Jing really wanted the national team to quickly drop Jiang Yibo to the game site in Gothenburg, Sweden, so that he could educate his eldest son and disciples before the game started.

This pair of senior brothers, it shouldn't be him Pei Jing who is here alone!

Probably understanding the worry in Pei Jing's eyes, Mu Yuansheng smiled gently: "Coach Pei, don't worry, we know it in our hearts." ”

Pei Jing: "......"

Pei Jingyou wanted to complain and forget it, but in the end he stopped, and finally looked at the two of them with a serious face, and asked the two of them to be careful before turning away.

Chu Rui on the side smiled and complained to him: "Coach Pei, why don't you care about me?" ”

Pei Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "If you change the group with them, I will care about you right now." ”
