On the field, the Chinese team was arranged in the sixth lane, which was a pretty good lane. In the seventh lane, in front and right of the Chinese team, was the first runner from the Taipei team, and in the eighth lane was the first runner from Finland.

The three teams, Canada, Japan and the United States, are located in lanes 3, 4 and 5 respectively.

At this time, the Japanese audience in the audience seats could no longer hold back their urge to cheer loudly, but they controlled their excitement and prepared to save their urge to cheer wildly until the game officially began.

At this time, at the starting position of the track bend is a veteran of the Chinese relay team, Wang Pingjun. He is the oldest player in the 4x100m relay team. He is 29 years old this year and is a competitor in both the 100m and 200m events.

Although Wang Pingjun does not have a particularly big advantage in explosive power and speed, his rich competition experience and excellent cornering ability make his teammates feel very relieved at the start of the 4x100m.

This game is naturally very important to Wang Pingjun, as it determines whether he can once again step onto the Olympic arena in the final stage of his career.

However, after knowing the grouping of the Chinese team, everyone including Fang Yu knew that there would be a tough battle to fight today.

Whether or not we can qualify for the Tokyo Olympics depends on this one move.

On the track, the first runners of each team held their breath, waiting for the starter's final warning sound and the sound of the starting gun.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the starter's voice was heard over the radio.

"Everyone, get ready."

"Bang!"

After the short and crisp gunshot, almost at the same time, 8 figures at the starting point of the curve stepped on the starting blocks, and then relying on the explosive power of the start, they quickly pushed off the ground and raised their upper body posture. After a series of starting and accelerating movements, the 8 figures have already shown the fangs of speed on the curved track!

Wang Pingjun's reaction speed at the start is not slow, but it is not the fastest among the eight teams. His reaction speed of 0.145 seconds ranks third among all the players. Among all the teams, the fastest reaction speed is the first runner from Japan. From the reaction speed of only 0.121 seconds, it can be seen that the first runner of the Japanese team is in his best condition at the moment!

"Yoshida-kun, the first runner, had an excellent start!"

In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV, although Uchimura Hirotoshi and Arakawa Ryunosuke were both nervous because of Su Bai's words, after seeing the performance of Japan's first runner Yoshida Kenzo at the starting stage, Uchimura Hirotoshi immediately praised him.

The first runner of the Japanese team was originally a famous 100-meter athlete in Japan. Together with Sho Komatsu, the holder of the Japanese national 100-meter record, he was hailed as the most talented athlete in Japan who had the greatest hope of breaking the 10-second mark in the 100-meter.

Su Bai was also watching Yoshida Kenzo's performance carefully. It was just as Uchimura Hirotoshi said, Yoshida Kenzo's start was excellent, including his control of the center of gravity on the curve path of the first 100-meter track after starting from the curve, the control of the weight of the steps on the left and right sides, and the swing of his left and right hands. These technical details all showed his perfect cornering skills engraved in his bones.

Not only did Kenzo Yoshida have outstanding skills, but he was also running on his own country's home track. Amid the cheers and shouts of more than 70,000 Japanese people at the scene, he fulfilled the promise his team made before the game - to advance to the finals with first place in the preliminary group!

Just thinking of this promise and hearing the audience cheering with all their heart, Kenzo Yoshida couldn't help but get more excited - he needed to be faster, faster, he wanted to buy more time for his teammates!

"What a sturdy figure! Yoshida-kun's posture on the field is like an indomitable Yamato warrior, cutting through all obstacles in front of him and rushing towards victory!"

Yoshida Kenzo's performance in the first leg made Uchimura Hirotoshi excited. Although Su Bai's words were mentioned earlier, after seeing the smooth baton passing between Yoshida Kenzo and the second runner Matsumoto Kosuke... especially after the sharp contrast with the baton passing of the American team, Uchimura Hirotoshi's originally anxious heart gradually relaxed, and he began to devote himself more wholeheartedly to the appreciation and commentary of the game.

'Ah, Su Jun's prediction is not 100% accurate. The Japanese team is performing so well on the field now. Maybe Su Jun's prediction this time is wrong? '

'After all, he also said that this prediction was not based on the data in his mind, but on his intuition as a coach? '

Many Japanese spectators had similar thoughts in their minds, and then focused their attention more on the game scene, starting to shout loudly to cheer for their national team.

On the track, China's first runner Wang Pingjun has successfully passed the baton to the second runner Zhao Shu in the passing area. Although China's baton passing skills are still somewhat behind those of Japan, Pei Jinan pays great attention to the cultivation and training of tacit understanding in these skills in daily training. After a long period of training, although China's baton passing skills cannot be called top-notch, they have already reached a first-class level.

In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also watching the changes on the field.

"Very good, the baton pass in the first run was perfect! Wang Pingjun and Zhao Shu have been partners for many years and have a tacit understanding in baton passing. Whether it was Zhao Shu's timing in the preliminary run or the baton passing between the two in the baton passing area, everything was very smooth!"

Shao Minyi breathed a sigh of relief as he said this.

After all, the first baton pass is very crucial. The smooth passing of the Chinese team in the first baton is a good start.

On the other hand, the baton passing of the American team is still the same. It is obvious to the naked eye that the American relay runners do not often conduct relevant serious joint training. Whether it is predicting the speed of their teammates or passing the baton to each other, the American team has a very "thrilling" feeling when doing it.

However, people did not pay too much attention to the American team. After the race entered the second leg of the straight-line stage, the competition was about the absolute speed ability of the 100-meter athletes on the straight. Generally speaking, the second and fourth runners are usually 100-meter athletes with strong speed ability on the straight.

In the Chinese team's 4x100m relay event, the second and fourth legs were assigned to two great players, Zhao Shu and Fang Yu.

Before taking over the baton, Zhao Shu had already increased his speed in the pre-running area. As soon as he got the baton, he immediately let go of all his worries and started sprinting forward with all his strength on the straight!

And just as many people could have predicted, the American team relied on the absolute advantage in the individual abilities of their athletes. Even though they almost went beyond the zone and committed a foul when passing the baton, they still managed to quickly make up for the lost time by relying on their individual speed abilities.

On the field, the baton passing between athletes, the fierce sprinting and speed competition among players on the track, all of these form a special charm that makes people feel the adrenaline rush, and the mind is completely immersed in the frenzy of speed and excitement.

The audience at the scene was just like that - as they competed with their own country's athletes for victory at an absolute speed, their shouts could almost shake the entire Yokohama Stadium, and the huge volume was like a tsunami in the circular audience seats surrounding the oval track.

Wherever the athletes' tracks go, the whistling and shouting on that side will suddenly rise an octave, and the already extremely loud volume will rapidly become even more deafening.

Excitement, frenzy, speed, stimulation...

In the huge Yokohama Stadium, it seemed that the nearly 100,000 people present had thrown themselves wholeheartedly into the excitement of speed and passion. All the spectators present were longing for and waiting for their country's heroic victory!

In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV station, Hirotoki Uchimura was so excited that he had completely forgotten the prediction Su Bai made before the game started.

Many viewers in front of the TV had already forgotten what Su Bai said.

Look!

The heroes of their 4x100m relay team were so fast and coordinated that what Su Bai said was just a possibility that was destined to never happen!

All Japanese spectators shared the same sentiment, either at the event or in front of their TVs, cheering for the Japanese 4x100m relay team.

In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were also very focused - so far, the Chinese team has maintained a top three position. Although they failed to defeat the overly powerful American team and slightly lost to the Japanese players, the Chinese team also successfully suppressed the Canadian team and firmly held the third position.

"Very good, keep it up! The fourth runner-up is Fang Yu, we still have a chance!"

Li Sen was concentrating on the performance of the Chinese team. When the third runner Xu Yang and the fourth runner Fang Yu successfully passed the baton to each other, he was about to cheer for Fang Yu, but Shao Min suddenly gave him a signal, suppressing his unspoken cheer.

"The Japanese team made a mistake in passing the baton!"

When saying this, Shao Minyi's voice rose slightly, but he quickly controlled it: "...When the third runner of the Japanese team, Kurara Kei, passed the baton to the fourth runner, Komatsu Sho, there was a coordination error between the two, and Komatsu Sho accidentally dropped the baton on the track!"

"It can be seen that neither Komatsu Sho nor Kurara Kei had expected such an unexpected situation to happen. There were exclamations from the audience... Kurara Kei picked up the baton that had fallen, but it was too late..."

Whether it was the Japanese team members present or the Japanese audiences at the scene or in front of the TV, they were all stunned when they saw Kurakaya's bat knocked away by Komatsu Sho.

No one expected such a situation to occur, after all, the Japanese team's baton passing skills are world-famous.

Or, the audience who watched the live broadcast of Yokohama TV station also had some concerns when they heard Su Bai mention that the Japanese team was over-excited. However, the smooth passing of the baton between the first three players, and the Japanese team's leading the game, and even relying on the tacit understanding of passing the baton to almost match the speed of the American team, made those who were originally secretly worried completely forget this idea.

Until this moment, the baton was knocked to the ground, and even if Kurakyu and Komatsu Sho tried to remedy the situation quickly, it was too late.

In the end, it was still the American team's athlete who crossed the finish line first. In the final leg, Fang Yu of the Chinese team did not let the Canadian team behind them overtake him. With an advantage of only two body lengths, he firmly maintained the second place for the Chinese team.

However, this time the winners, the American team, did not wait for the applause that belonged to them. The entire huge Yokohama Stadium fell into an eerie silence. Even Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan, who got a surprise in the audience, did not show too much excitement, but just clenched their fists happily.

In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV station, when Kei Kurara and Sho Komatsu passed the baton, Hirotoki Uchimura took a deep breath and was ready to cheer for Sho Komatsu as hard as he could at the end. However, the cheer was stuck in his throat for a long time and he finally couldn't shout it out.

The dropping of the baton by Kei Kurara and Sho Komatsu was so complete and unexpected that everyone's previous enthusiasm for the Japanese team's first place in the group became so unbearable at this moment.

"How could this happen?" Uchimura Hirotoshi still couldn't believe this reality. He turned to look at Su Bai and said, "Mr. Su, did you predict this result from the beginning?"

Su Bai calmly shook his head at this time: "Of course not, predictions are just predictions, they are not 100% correct, but the atmosphere of the Japanese team before the game was too fanatical, and the players were also very excited. I just judged that under such circumstances, if the players let this over-excited emotion explode, then during the game, when the fanatical atmosphere reaches its peak, the probability of mistakes will also reach the highest."

"After all, passing the baton requires stable emotions and concentration."

After hearing Su Bai's answer, both Uchimura Hirotoshi and the Japanese audience who were watching the live broadcast on TV fell silent for a moment.
