On the field, Zhang Ziyi and others realized as soon as they came on stage that it was not just the Chinese team that was determined to win the men's 4x400m relay final.

Japan's sprint relay team is among the top in Asia in both the men's 4x100m relay and the men's 4x400m. Although they did not perform well in the Asian Games and did not make the top three, it is precisely because of this that the Japanese team is eyeing the Asian Championships this time.

In interviews before the game, the Japanese team has repeatedly stated that this time the Japanese relay team will be the latest ace team of Japan's men's 4x400m relay. Their goal is to hit the gold medal in the men's 4x400m relay event of this Asian Athletics Championships. At the same time, they also claimed that after this training, the team will continue to represent Japan in the World Athletics Relays held in Yokohama in May, and strive for the qualification of the Japanese team to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

From this ambitious attitude, we can see how determined the Japanese men's 4x400m relay team is for the men's relay final of the Asian Championships.

In the competition field, in addition to the Japanese team, the Qatar team is the gold medalist in this event at last year's Asian Games. The current Asian record for the men's 4x400m relay was set by the Qatar team at last year's Asian Games. Although the Bahrain team lost to the Chinese team at last year's Asian Games, their strength is definitely not weak.

When the first runners of each team stood at the starting point of the bend, the runners in front and behind Zhang Ziyi all looked at him with some provocation - as the champion of the men's 400m sprint event of this Asian Championships, Zhang Ziyi would naturally be a target of vigilance in the eyes of other runners on the field.

There are teams from seven countries on the field. In addition to Japan, China, the Kingdom of Bahrain and Qatar, there are also three teams from Thailand, India and Iraq.

The Chinese team was arranged in the fourth track in this game. Behind Zhang Ziyi on the left was the mixed-race first runner of the Japanese team, Sora Akiyama. In front of Zhang Ziyi on the right was the first runner of the Kingdom of Bahrain team, Lakasa. In front of Lakasa was the first runner of the host Qatar team.

The audience at the scene were waving the Qatari flag and cheering for the athletes. After all, last year, Qatar's men's 4x400m relay set a continental record at the Jakarta Asian Games. Countless spectators were waiting here tonight, hoping that Qatar's relay team could once again leave a brilliant record at the Asian Championships held in their own country.

In China, whether it is the audience in front of the TV or watching the live broadcast on the Internet, their hearts are once again hanging in the balance.

Among them, there are many viewers who are new fans of track and field who watched track and field events seriously for the first time at this Asian Championships. After following the competitions in the past few days, many of these new fans expressed their feelings to their friends: I didn’t watch many track and field competitions before, and I always thought they were just running, long jump and so on, and I didn’t know what was so good about them. But these competitions are really exciting to watch, and in just a few minutes, it is no worse than watching a ball or something.

Just like now, they are just waiting for the start of the 4x400m men's relay race. The atmosphere before the game has already made them feel a little difficult to breathe.

Think about the athletes on the field who are actually facing these pressures and have to compete with the other players on the field with all their strength. Almost everyone feels that it is really not easy for these athletes on the field.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi, who was worried about by countless audiences in China, felt his heart beating fast. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down as much as possible - calm down, and continue to maintain his current state with a little nervousness and excitement.

He needs this appropriate amount of tension and excitement to stimulate his state, so that he can release his full strength and create the best conditions for his teammates to take over in the first leg of the game!

The vague hostility of the top runners from various countries around him gradually raised this sense of confrontation to a climax.

During the on-site broadcast, the seven teams in the final were being introduced lane by lane. When introducing the Chinese team in the fourth lane, the on-site commentator also emphasized Zhang Ziyi's identity as the new winner of the 400m championship in this Asian Championships.

Zhang Ziyi had his hands on his waist and was originally looking down to adjust his emotional state. After hearing his own name, he looked up and glanced at the orbital camera that was sliding not far above him, nodded in the direction of the camera, and then continued to look down with his eyes closed.

In the audience, everyone on the Chinese national team could naturally see that Zhang Ziyi was trying his best to adjust his mood for the game. After the players on the seven tracks were introduced, the starter's voice was replaced on the broadcast with a cold, robot-like voice.

Following the starter's voice instructions, the spectators who were originally noisy and cheering for their national team suddenly became quiet. After suddenly becoming quiet, the huge stadium took on an eerie emptiness and silence.

In this quiet environment, the athletes walked to their respective starting blocks, bent down, supported themselves with their hands, and squatted on the starting blocks.

In this atmosphere, even the two commentators, Shao Minyi and Li Sen, spoke less. Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the game to begin.

Finally, the cold, inorganic voice on the radio sent a new order: "Everyone, get ready."

As soon as the sound of preparation fell, the starting gun sounded without warning!

"Bang!"

After this crisp sound, looking down from the air, the seven figures at the starting point of the curve were like arrows shot from a bow. They suddenly burst out with a strong forward momentum from a crouching position with the help of the power of stepping on the starting blocks, and began to chase with all their might on this circular track!

Zhang Ziyi started quickly and with a slight excitement. Since before the game, the attention from his opponents, the importance of this game, and the reality that his physical strength has not yet recovered to its peak, all made Zhang Ziyi feel both excited about the upcoming big battle and pressure about the game.

And this pressure was directly transformed into his motivation for the game.

He remembered that Su Bai once told them that the best competitive state is not necessarily the moment when your physical fitness is 100%. One day, you feel the invisible excitement brought to you by the opponents around you, when you feel that even if your body is a little tired, your spirit is still excited, when you feel a strong impulse and desire for this game in your heart - at this moment, perhaps you will be able to arouse a state far beyond the usual state!

Before today, Zhang Ziyi always felt that his competitive state was pretty good, especially after he became Su Bai's teammate. He could feel his desire for the game from time to time, and his drive in the game was countless times stronger than before.

But it was not until today, until this moment, that Zhang Ziyi suddenly felt what the best competitive state was - it was now!

From the moment his right foot stepped on the starting block, the moment the starting gun sounded, the power of his right leg exploded, and then the powerful explosive force pushed him forward violently.

He could almost feel the flow of time around him slowing down, and the technical details that Su Bai had usually engraved in his mind suddenly became clear to him at this moment.

The angle at which the right foot steps on the starting block, the angle at which the thigh and calf are folded, the stride length when running, the height of the foot from the ground when running...

Everything seemed to be completely under his control at this moment!

The running technique and rhythm on the entire track, and even the distance between him and the runner in front, all of this seemed to appear in Zhang Ziyi's mind like instinct.

Inhale, exhale, exhale, inhale...

Every beat of my breath, coupled with the rhythmic heartbeat beside my ear, the sound of every footstep on the ground, even the panting of the athletes around me, and the cheers of the audience that seemed far away but vaguely broke into my ears.

These sounds mixed together, forming a unique rhythm and melody in Zhang Ziyi's ears.

Come on, he can be faster!

Zhang Ziyi didn't even think about how big the difference in forward distance was between him and the runner in front of him when they started. In this wonderful state, even chasing and the speed of chasing became an instinct in his body and mind.

"The race has begun! The first runner of the Chinese team is Zhang Ziyi, who currently holds the national record for both indoor and outdoor 400m events... Zhang Ziyi's reaction speed at the start of this race was very fast! During the start phase, his forward burst was also very strong! Incredibly, Zhang Ziyi's condition today seems to be even better than his condition in the 400m final!"

In the commentary booth, Shao Min looked at Zhang Ziyi's condition with surprise, as if he found Zhang Ziyi's condition incredible.

As the competition progresses to this day, everyone knows how many times Zhang Ziyi has run, not to mention his performance of breaking the 45-second mark in the 400-meter final. In today's relay final, although Zhang Ziyi is still in the first leg position, many people's expectations for Zhang Ziyi are that he can perform normally and run at the same upper-middle level as in the competition.

But……

The current situation on the field...

And it is more than just upper-middle level. !

In China, the comments on the live sports channel were filled with track and field fans who were stunned by Zhang Ziyi.

[Fuck, Zhang Shuai’s speed? ! 】

[What a speed! Is this the speed that can be achieved during the fifth high-intensity shot after four days? Is Zhang Shuai super awesome today? ? ? 】

[…Brothers, I have a reasonable suspicion that if Zhang Shuai had been in the same condition as today during the 400m final, our 400m national record would have been broken. With this speed, it should be firmly within 44.90 seconds, right? 】

【? ? ? I have only one thought now: why is this a relay race instead of a 400-meter individual event? ! 】

Even track and field fans could see Zhang Ziyi's speed and condition, not to mention the track and field team members in the audience.

Wang Ting looked at Zhang Ziyi's condition with a look of surprise on his face. For a moment, he was so shocked by Zhang Ziyi's performance that he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Wentao was so surprised that he stood up from his seat, looking at the rhythm of Zhang Ziyi's running on the track, with a slightly excited look on his face!

Although the importance of the 400-meter relay in the evening was emphasized in their pre-match meeting, Jiang Wentao knew in his heart at the time that the hope of winning the championship in the 4x400-meter relay was very slim.

After all, Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen, the two main players of the relay team, are both running the fifth leg in today's relay race. It is the fifth leg of four days of high intensity. Ordinary spectators don't know what it feels like. As veteran track and field people, how could they not know how much impact this will have on the players' condition?

However, Jiang Wentao, who originally had not held high hopes for the final, regained hope due to Zhang Ziyi's opening momentum that he had not dared to imagine before.

Is it really possible... ?

No, this is only the first leg. The first leg is halfway through. Even if Zhang Ziyi has taken an absolute lead in the first leg, there are still three more legs to pass the baton to...

Calm down, just stay calm!

Jiang Wentao in the audience was trying desperately to calm himself, while at home, Su Bai, who was watching Zhang Ziyi's condition on TV, his eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Ziyi's condition at this moment.

This is the complete outbreak of Zhang Ziyi's state. Although it seems that he has not broken through the limit like Chen Yada before, his current state is very similar to Chen Yada's breakthrough of the limit at that time.

Su Bai immediately called up Zhang Ziyi's personal status panel and saw that the personal potential value behind Zhang Ziyi's name seemed to be trembling slightly, showing signs of loosening.

Although Zhang Ziyi's condition on the field is now infinitely close to a breakthrough in his potential, the system in Su Bai's mind has remained motionless.

Su Bai was a little worried and anxious at first, but seeing that Zhang Ziyi was still in good condition on the court, Su Bai gradually calmed down - it didn't matter whether he had achieved a breakthrough in his potential or not, it would be best if he had, and even if not, after Zhang Ziyi had experienced such a competitive state today, such a competitive feeling would be able to leave a deep impression on him, allowing him to better mobilize his physical condition in future competitions and achieve better results.

On the court, Zhang Ziyi didn't know how everyone was looking at him. He only knew that he clearly felt that his perception seemed to be several times more sensitive than before. He could even feel that the blood in his body was flowing.

Inhale, exhale, exhale, inhale...

It's not that he can't feel the heavy burden of his body, but in this excited state, this physical burden will not make him retreat. Instead, it gives rise to an even stronger impulse and strength in his heart to fight against this burden.

quick!

Faster!

He almost felt that he could tear through the wind barrier in front of him. In this state of tearing everything apart, he could break through at a speed faster than the wind!

As Zhang Ziyi entered the second bend, he gradually caught up with Bahrain's top runner Lacasa in front of him, while the distance between him and the new Japanese talented mixed-race player Sora Akiyama was gradually widening.

Behind Zhang Ziyi, Akiyama Sora was trying his best to rush forward. On the straight track just now, Akiyama Sora clearly felt that he had sprinted with all his strength on the track, but he could not close the distance between him and Zhang Ziyi in front of him.

Of course, Akiyama Sora knew that the Chinese team had a runner who ran particularly hard in the first half of the race, but he also knew that the runner's name was Qiu Wen, not the first runner in front of him, Zhang Ziyi.

But……

Zhang Ziyi was already so crazy in the first half of the race, so how terrifying would Qiu Wen be who was known for his crazy running in the first half of the race?

In the commentary booth, the voices of Shao Minyi and Li Sen both became a little nervous.

"Zhang Ziyi is gradually expanding his advantage. At the second corner, he is already overtaking the leading runner from Bahrain, Lacasa. However, from the distance between Lacasa and the leading runner from Qatar, we can see that there is no problem with Lacasa's speed!"

"Too fast... Zhang Ziyi's pace today is really too fast!"

"Now the runners have entered the last 100 meters. You can see the distance between Zhang Ziyi and Lacasa. Zhang Ziyi has already caught up with Lacasa and surpassed him! As we all know, in different 400-meter tracks, the distance between runners at the start is different. At that point just now, Lacasa should have been 2-3 meters ahead of Zhang Ziyi to be at a normal speed, but he had already been surpassed by Zhang Ziyi. From this, we can see how crazy Zhang Ziyi's speed was in the first lane today!"

In the last 100 meters of the first leg, both the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV looked at Zhang Ziyi in amazement as he took the lead in the final stage, surpassing the runners behind by two to three meters, and then passed the baton to Qiu Wen who was ready to run in the baton handover area.

"Xiao Qiu, charge!!!"

Zhang Ziyi only said this one sentence at the end. Then, because his previous forward momentum was too strong, he still ran forward a few more steps. Even after he stopped, he could still feel the boiling feeling in his body. That energy seemed to still stay in his body, making his heart surge.

However, as his heart was stirred, he was also overcome by an intense feeling of fatigue. For a moment he could only stand there with his hands on his hips, gasping for breath and trying hard to recover his strength.

After the players from other teams completed the first baton pass, a staff member on site discovered that Zhang Ziyi was almost exhausted from excessive fatigue, and quickly came to the track and helped him to the side to rest.

On the field, Qiu Wen lived up to his nickname of "crazy". After receiving the baton, he exerted all his strength when pushing off the ground with his legs, using the most powerful force to increase his speed to the maximum in the shortest time.

On the bend, his figure was like a crazy lightning, fissioning and penetrating forward.

[Fuck, they are running like crazy!] ! 】

[Go!] ! ! Go at him! ! 】

In the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, the audience had already become excited about the performances of Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen. Looking around, the barrage was filled with exclamation marks, densely packed, just like the excitement of everyone at the moment.

Qiu Wen lived up to the advantage Zhang Ziyi had gained in the first leg. He also led the way on the curve. When he passed the merging sign, Qiu Wen was undoubtedly the first to complete the merging.

Behind him, the second runner of the Japanese team was chasing him at full speed, but this pursuit did not pose any threat to Qiu Wen. This section after turning from the bend to the straight road was originally one of Qiu Wen's best stages. His speed was so fast that the players behind him could not catch up.

At this time, he was in the first place in the innermost lane. The second runners from Qatar and Japan were trying to overtake him, but they could only follow behind Qiu Wen, looking at his back and trying their best to catch up with his pace.

"Qiu Wen is also in excellent form. Currently, the Chinese team is in an absolute leading position in both the first and second legs. There is hope!!! We have hope!!"

When saying this, the excitement in Shao Minyi's voice was clearly discernible.

In the audience, Jiang Wentao and others were all standing and watching the final. Jiang Wentao and Wang Ting both clenched their fists tightly, and the same three words flashed through their minds - there is hope! !

Whether it is the second runner of Qatar or Japan, their individual speed in the 400-meter event is definitely not slow, but Qiu Wenqian has the first-run advantage created by Zhang Ziyi, and his own condition today is particularly outstanding.

Just now, the feeling Zhang Ziyi's first run brought to him made him want to run faster himself. Zhang Ziyi's sense of rhythm also infected the people on the track, and his speed became even crazier than before.

quick! quick! quick!

At this moment, there was no one blocking him in front, and Qiu Wen's mind was full of the rhythmic word "fast". His speed brought great mental pressure to the players of other teams behind him. This imbalance of rhythm and pressure made it even more uncomfortable for the players behind Qiu Wen to run.

When it came to the third baton handover, Qiu Wen's advantageous position was already very clear. The staff had quickly arranged the baton handover positions for each team based on the speed of the players.

The one who still occupies the most advantageous position is naturally Guo Dun, the third runner.

Guo Dun was also extremely excited at the moment. This excitement came from the emotional infection brought to him by Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen just now, as well as the state of occupying an absolutely advantageous position, which made Guo Dun seem to be boiling with excitement.

Although Guo Dun's strength is still a certain distance away from Zhang Ziyi and others, and he even has certain pressure facing the third runners of other teams, he still withstands these pressures and firmly maintains the Chinese team's advantageous position in this 400-meter race!

The players from the Japanese and Qatari teams behind Guo Dun even felt a little frustrated. They were stronger than Guo Dun, but on today's track, they had no chance to catch up with Guo Dun - because the advantage created by the Chinese team in the first and second legs was too great.

It was not until Guo Dun handed the baton to Li Junhao that he breathed a sigh of relief. In the last straight, although he could barely maintain his lead, he still lost a lot of advantage to the Qatari and Japanese teams.

Fortunately, the last baton was Li Junhao!

Guo Dun looked at Li Junhao who was running forward with big strides in front of him, and his heart was full of confidence in this junior brother who was once rebellious and unable to bear pressure.

The Li Junhao of today is no longer the same person he was back then.

Just as Guo Dun thought, Li Junhao rushed forward without hesitation after taking the baton - because of the Chinese team's previous continuous lead, even when passing the baton, they are always in the innermost position.

While Li Junhao was rushing forward, the last runners of the Qatar and Japanese teams were trying to catch up with Li Junhao and overtake him from the second lane.

The last runners of all teams are strong. The last runner of Qatar is Roger, the last runner of Japan is Shiraishi Tsuruji, and the last runner of Bahrain is Mike Knight.

Since Li Junhao has not yet participated in any individual international competitions, these players did not recognize the Chinese team's last baton. They originally thought that the Chinese team's two strong batons had been used in the first and second batons, but they did not expect that the Chinese team's last baton would also make them unable to surpass!

Tap, tap, tap, these are the steps of a group of players running on the track. Li Junhao also ran very "crazily" in today's game. Perhaps it should be said that the states of the players can be contagious to each other. Amid the madness of Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and Guo Dun, Li Junhao also had an even stronger desire to win in today's game than ever before!

Damn it, Lao Zhang and the others had already gained such a big advantage before, could he throw away the advantage of victory in the end? !

No, that's impossible!

Li Junhao would never do such a shameful thing! ! !

With such a mentality, Li Junhao ran on the track with a ferocious look, with an aura of killing gods and Buddhas who stood in his way!

In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were already extremely excited.

"Leading!!! China is still in the lead!!!"

"From the first to the last baton, well done to today's Chinese men's 400m relay team!!!"

"The last 100 meters, 50 meters! 30 meters... 20 meters!"

When everyone in the Chinese contestant seat watched Li Junhao getting closer and closer to the finish line, when the Chinese reporters at the scene watched Li Junhao getting closer and closer to the finish line... When all the viewers in front of the TV watched Li Junhao getting closer and closer to the finish line...

No one can contain their excitement anymore!

20 meters.

10 meters.

5 meters...

Cross the finish line! ! !

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Junhao crossed the finish line first!

No matter how unbelievable the audience and the contestants behind Li Junhao are, tonight's victory belongs to China!
