I became the king of short track speed skating in figure skating Section 322
If the World Championships directly cut off his career in South Korea, then for Lee Jung-tae, this grudge may really make him lose his mind and do something in the semi-finals of the 1000m.
Thinking of this, the coaches present couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"He won't really do anything to Su Liang in the game, right?"
"Su Liang, this is the baby bump of our Huaguo team, seeing that the two triple crowns of the World Youth Championships and the World Championships are in sight, and countless glory in the future career will be added, if this is ...... by those shameless guys in South Korea in the game!"
The more these coaches talked, the more anxious they became, but it was basically impossible for Su Liang to retire.
This is the men's 1000m semi-finals at the World Championships!
The players in the same group are not Su Liang's opponents, and the shameless big Li Zhengtai is left, do you want Su Liang to withdraw directly because of an uncertain threat?
If this is the case, then as long as there are two South Korean players in the same group as Su Liang, and one of them directly threatens Su Liang's safety, will he continue to compete in the future?
The coaches were full of worries, but Li Yunlong said: "Okay, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten, the same situation happened once at the World Youth Championships." β
"What did Su Liang say that time, I guess Lao Pei also told you about it, right?"
"He had foreseen at that time that as long as he wanted to continue to compete on the international stage, as long as South Korean athletes could not defeat him, then whether it was the World Junior Championships, the World Championships or the Winter Olympics, South Korea's methods against him would only be endless."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong remembered the words that Pei Jing had repeated to him at the beginning-
[If every time, China has a good player, and South Korea plays against our player like this - do we have to choose to withdraw every time?] γ
[I can withdraw from the World Youth Championships this time, and in the future World Championships and Winter Olympics, when I encounter such a scene, should I also choose to retire? γ
[No matter how dirty the South Korean players and methods are, I will not allow them to defile this clean ice surface - I will not allow their schemes to succeed!] γ
In the end, Li Yunlong sighed and said to the coaches present: "That time, Su Liang said - he can't retreat, Huaguo team, can't retreat." β
"I think, even if you call Pei Jing again this time and ask him to persuade Su Liang to quit the competition, he will give the same answer."
With what Li Yunlong said, the threat faced by Su Liang at the World Youth Championships once again surfaced in the minds of the coaches present.
Yes.
Although now they talk about Su Liang's strength, they all describe it as invincible, but Su Liang was able to make such a great name in the international arena, relying not only on his strength, but also on his incomparably firm belief and courage from beginning to end.
He was truly fearless in the face of the threat of South Korea's adversaries, and he bravely walked forward on the ice step by step.
It was also he who was at the forefront, withstanding the malice of those South Korean or other national players, facing those threats with absolute strength, and making those threats invisible.
At least on the road of men's short track speed skating, with his emergence, he has really attracted countless hatreds for the male players of the Chinese national team in the world, and most of the malicious eyes have been invested in him - such as the attention and tacit agreement of athletes from all over the world before the start of this World Championships.
It wasn't until Su Liang crushed those opponents with his absolute strength that he changed from the little guy who said 'he may not be able to do it at the World Championships' to the all-around king who is about to dominate the men's individual event at the World Championships.
Li Yunlong was right, and Su Liang's sentence was also right.
If Su Liang retreats today, then the situation that the Chinese team has finally opened up, and the impression of a short track speed skating power portrayed by Su Liang's victory, will be covered with a layer of haze again.
This realization made the coaches present feel heavy on their shoulders.
Why does Su Liang have to carry this impression? Why does it have to be Su Liang charging ahead?
In the final analysis, the disciples of the Huaguo short track speed skating team are too thin and not strong enough.
***
Eric, the only foreign teacher present, listened to the translator next to him translate the words Su Liang said sentence by sentence, and finally, he turned his head to look at Lin Guobin and sighed: "Huaguo team, there is a great hero. β
***
When the short track speed skating coaching staff of the Chinese national team was in a solemn atmosphere, at the scene in Gothenburg, Sweden, Su Liang and Mu Yuansheng, the two brothers, looked very relaxed.
On-site work
When the staff guided the two groups of contestants to warm up, Mu Yuansheng took advantage of Su Liang's failure to put on his helmet, rubbed his head first, and then said with a smile: "It's time for us to play." β
Su Liang has never been a talkative character, so he only responded with a 'hmm'.
Mu Yuansheng didn't force Su Liang to say anything, just stroked the golden lucky card in the skating suit on his chest, and then looked at Su Liang with a smile: "So Xiaoliang, we can meet in the final, right?" β
Listening to his senior brother's words, Su Liang wrinkled his brows in embarrassment, but his senior brother didn't let him continue to speak, but still maintained a gentle smile and said to him: "You don't need Xiao Liang's answer, Xiao Liang, you just need to stand on the final field and wait for the senior brother to catch up with you." β
Su Liang didn't expect that he would hear such an answer, he paused silently, and then silently said 'um', and said to Mu Yuansheng, who was about to take a step ahead of him later: "Senior brother, come on." β
***
In the warm-up stage, whether it was Samuel Adams, Lee Jae-hyung, or Harrick Blasi, these players who were about to be in the same group as Mu Yuansheng showed their best condition.
While they were glad that there was no Su Liang among the opponents in their group, they also felt helpless about the grouping situation in this group - if there is Su Liang, it is basically equivalent to the promotion quota directly -1, but without Su Liang having these opponents in front of him, he may not be able to compete for the promotion place.
Perhaps, in addition to the absence of Su Liang among the players in this group, the biggest luck is that there is no South Korean big Lee Zhengtai.
After all, a clean ice surface has always been a desire for short track speed skaters, and no one wants to be in the same group as their group as South Korea's people who can dance on the ice and become a pusher master.
As for the other group of warm-up players, Daniel Paplov and Tali Allison are both in normal form, or rather, the only thing that is not quite right is South Korea's Lee Jung-tae.
From the moment he landed on the ice, he was always expressionless, and he didn't get too close to Su Liang during the period, but as long as he noticed him, he could find that his focus was always on Su Liang's body.
In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei were introducing the opponents that Mu Yuansheng and Su Liang needed to face on the ice one by one, and when introducing Da Li Zhengtai, both of them fell into silence for a short time.
ββ¦β¦ How to say it, Da Lee Jung-tae is indeed a very powerful player in South Korea, but in this World Championships, what he exposed is more of another 'strength' that South Korea is particularly good at. β
Because of the small actions made by Da Li Zhengtai in the 1500 meters and 500 meters, it is difficult for Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei to mention him in many contents.
"However, in today's men's 1000m individual competition, South Korea's Lee Jung-tae has always advanced to the current semifinals with his own strength."
- After all, because the South Korean team has a lot of criminal records, the referees present are all focused on these South Korean players, and even Lee Jae-hyung, who has never deliberately committed fouls before, is also on the referee's list of key concerns, so it can be said that as long as the South Korean team continues to maintain its membership, it is difficult not to be suspicious.
"In fact, as far as the player himself is concerned, his basic skills are solid, his physical fitness is excellent, and his technical skills are actually quite delicate, including the judgment of the form of the field on the field and the real-time insight into the game are very good, that is, even if he does not use those bad means, he can definitely occupy a place in the World Championships."
"But he's still focused on something that wasn't right β like South Korea's Lee Min Jung in the women's category, throwing away his better performances and form in favor of some crooked paths."
"I hope the South Korean players can understand that such a road will not go far after all."
The two of them talked about Li Zhengtai on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also had the same worries as the coaches of the Chinese national team.
But the game in front of them is about to start, and everyone can only focus on the field in front of them first - now, the first to appear is Mu Yuansheng of the Huaguo team.
In the next semi-finals, will he be able to break through and successfully win a place in the finals?
Chapter 326
On the ice, the first group of the men's 1000m semi-finals has all been seated, with Samuel Adams from Canada on the innermost lane and Harrick Blassi from the United States on the second lane.
In the quarter-finals, Mu Yuansheng only advanced to the second place in the group, and is currently in the third lane, and the outermost lane is the star Lee Jae-hyung from South Korea.
"This is a group comparable to the final lineup, the four players present are very good in individual strength, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses in the end of this game, we can only say that we hope that my country's player Mu Yuansheng can play his best in this group and strive for every possibility."
For Lin Fangzheng, Liao Yuwei, or for the vast majority of ice fans, it is difficult to make a too accurate judgment on this semi-final.
Even Su Liang couldn't make too clear a judgment about this match, so when his senior brother asked if they could meet in the final, he hesitated.
But with his senior brother's subsequent words, Su Liang had a faint premonition in his heart.
On the ice, the four semi-finalists were already ready for themselves, and soon in the command of the on-site starter, Mu Yuansheng and the other four quickly arrived at their starting line and took their places, and then a series of 'preparations' and starting pistol commands sounded one after another!
The competition has officially begun!
Unlike previous cases where other South Koreans were fouled in the presence of other South Koreans, Lee Jae-hyung is one of the few South Korean players in the team who is clean in his hands, feet, and mind, and has a pure interest in short track speed skating, as well as his family background that allows him to skate on his own on the South Korean ice, ignoring the distracting noises around him.
Without any interference, the four runners started at the same time, and the best starting conditions were Samuel Adams from Canada and Mu Yuansheng from Huaguo.
It should be said that Mu Yuansheng is worthy of being one of the top players in the men's 500m of the Chinese national team, he has perfect skills and rich experience in the rapid kicking of the ice explosion, although Samuel Adams's kicking start is also very good, but if it is not for the fact that he occupies the innermost lane, Samuel Adams may be surpassed by Mu Yuansheng in the starting stage!
"Mu Yuansheng's starting state is very high, and his overall performance and state are also very proactive!"
In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei are also paying close attention to Mu Yuansheng's state, and the two were pleasantly surprised to find that Mu Yuansheng's personal state in this game is very high, it is obvious that he is particularly active in launching some early offensives, and from the very beginning, he has been competing for the initiative with these world-class opponents present.
"Since the start of this World Championships, I don't seem to have seen such a Xiao Mu."
Lin Fangzheng looked at Mu Yuansheng's battle for victory on the ice, and his tone was a little amazed.
Speaking of which, in their past event commentary, such as Su Liang has nicknames like the master of improvised tactics on ice, Mu Yuansheng also has it, but the description he blurted out at the beginning later sounded a little fierce, so Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei rarely mentioned their description of Mu Yuansheng - vicious dog.
They are media people, and the Mu Yuansheng they usually see will always be a model of a gentle smile and good temper, this is because when he was off the court, and on the field, especially when Su Liang had not yet appeared, Mu Yuansheng once made his opponent reluctant to approach on the ice.
This is probably unimaginable to ice fans who have not watched Mu Yuansheng's early events.
It's not that Mu Yuansheng will play any black hands, but whenever the game starts, Mu Yuansheng will fade his layer of always gentle and good smile on the ice, as if he has a split personality, and his skating style on the ice is quite ferocious and fierce, and there is a momentum that doesn't care about his own life or death and doesn't care too much about the opponent's life or death.
It is said that this is because he resisted competing with others because of his personality when he was a child, and later overcorrected himself under the guidance of Jiang Yibo.
But what an athlete wants is that invincible momentum, so his state has been maintained.
Since the beginning of this season, his state in the competition has been much better, and he has probably learned to control his state and emotions, especially in this World Championships, such as the previous 1500m race, he even learned to slip his opponent behind first, which makes Mu Yuansheng's skills and tactics more abundant, and it will also make it more difficult for his opponent to judge his tactical purpose.
Today's 1000m semi-finals are technically required for both explosiveness and strength, as well as excellent aerobic endurance.
Generally speaking, the starting phase of the 1000m does tend to be more of a high burst in the 500m than a slack like the 1500m start.
But Lin Fangzheng and the others still didn't expect that Mu Yuansheng's outburst in the starting stage would be so proactive, and even Harrick Blassy, who was also good at the outburst on his left hand, also fell to the bottom under his strong outburst.
"At present, my country's performance and condition of Mu Yuansheng are very good, he is currently in second place, he did not choose to wait behind Samuel Adams for the opportunity to surpass from the inside lane, but followed closely behind Samuel Adams, while giving pressure to the other party, he is also looking for opportunities to go further forward and surpass at any time!"
Harrick Blasi and Lee Jae-hyung are currently in third and fourth place, Lee Jae-hyung's future explosiveness is still slightly inferior to Samuel and other L's, otherwise he would not have been dragged down by opponents in the 1500-meter event with the tactics of future explosion, in today's game, he tried to absorb the lessons learned, always maintained his rhythm steadily, and tried not to be in a hurry.
Among the four players on the field, the relatively unstable mentality is Harrick Blasi from the United States team.
As one of the top players on the U.S. team at the moment, and especially a perennial talent, Harrick Blasi was adamant before the tournament that he would definitely win at least one medal at the World Championships.
But the reality is that so far, he has only advanced to the final stage of the men's 1500m individual event, and the other is that as a member of the men's 5000m relay, he successfully won the team ticket to the final in the 5000m relay heats, and is expected to hit the final medal.
This made Harrick Blasi very irritable and frustrated - not to mention the 1500 meters on the first day, who would have thought that the final opponent would be a big demon like Su Liang? So much so that he missed the medal because of excessive surprise and shock.
It was the closest he came to a medal in three consecutive days.
As for yesterday's 500m event, this was not originally what he was good at, and he admitted that he failed to qualify for the final.
But today's 1000m event!
He was ready to make it to the final and fight for a medal in today's competition!
But this hell group gave him a slap in the face first - of course, if he wanted to stay in this group or go to the group next door where Su Liang was, Harik would still choose to stay in this group.
At the start, Haric Brasi felt he was in a good second lane and was in good shape when he started with a kick-off.
He originally thought that the Libra of victory would be on his side, but it didn't.
The victorious Tianchen seems to be leaning towards that guy from the Huaguo team before he knows itβoh shit, it's the Huaguo team player again!
