Su Bai and Pei Jinan did not care about Ryunosuke Arakawa's visit. After all the members of the relay team had gradually adapted to the race track, they communicated with different team members about some precautions such as the characteristics of the track, and then took the members of the track and field team back to the hotel.
As a result, in the afternoon, the accompanying translator suddenly sent a screenshot on WeChat to the small group of the coaching team where Jiang Wentao, Su Bai, Pei Jinan and others were. The picture showed a news interview by Japan's Yokohama TV station. The interviewee was Ryunosuke Arakawa, who had found Su Bai in the morning and wanted to exchange experiences with Su Bai.
Su Bai and others cannot understand Japanese, but there is always some Chinese mixed in Japanese. Even Chinese people who do not understand Japanese can always guess the meaning based on the Chinese part of the text.
On the screen, the big subtitles contained words like "Yokohama", "world", "conference", and "report". After piecing together the words, one could guess that this was a news report related to the Yokohama World Relays. But in addition to these keywords, Su Bai also saw words that looked like "revenge" in the screenshot given by the translator... ?
Sure enough, before Su Bai asked any questions, the translator gave the answer directly.
Translated by Lin Ping: [Japan's 400m coach, Mr. Ryunosuke Arakawa, in an interview with Yokohama TV at noon today, called the match between Japan and the Chinese team at the Yokohama World Relays a battle of revenge. 】
…
?
Even someone as calm as Su Bai was confused when he saw such words.
Translated by Lin Ping: [Ryunosuke Arakawa said that Japan's sprinting ability is at the top level among Asian countries, but in recent years, China has broken the 10-second barrier in the men's 100-meter sprint, breaking the limit of the yellow race once proven by experts, but the Japanese team has been unable to break the shackles of 10 seconds for a long time. 】
Translator Lin Ping: [In the men's 4x100m relay event, which Japan is proud of, the threat posed by the Chinese team is gradually increasing. Not only in the men's 100-meter sprint, but also in the men's 400-meter sprint, the Chinese team has posed an unprecedented threat to Japan, and at the same time has caused the Japanese team to suffer consecutive setbacks. 】
Translator Lin Ping: [Arakawa Ryunosuke listed a series of results from the Asian Games to the TV station, including China's bronze medal and fourth place in the 400m event, the silver medal in the 4x400m event, and Japan's fourth place, as well as a series of results from the Asian Six Nations Joint Competition and the Asian Championships. He then said that the Chinese team has bared its fangs, while the Japanese team is still immersed in the dream of becoming an Asian track and field powerhouse in the past...]
Not only Su Bai, but also Pei Jinan and Jiang Wentao were confused when they saw these contents.
Jiang Wentao: […Coach Arakawa, does he think that the Chinese team has threatened the Japanese team’s status as a strong Asian sprint team? 】
Translator Lin Ping: [It should be, but it is also possible that the Chinese team is simply using the pressure on the Japanese track and field team. The Japanese have a kind of paranoid and fanatical spirit towards this kind of "revenge battle". Under this kind of pressure, the Japanese team members may burst out with much stronger strength than before. 】
Translator Lin Ping: [And I just checked the comments on Japan's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other online social networking platforms. The popularity of topics related to this Yokohama World Relays is continuing to rise. On Japanese Twitter, the keyword "battle of revenge" has already topped the Japanese Twitter trend... which is the same position as the domestic Weibo hot search list. 】
This is not the first or second time that the Chinese team has dealt with the Japanese team. China and Japan have often held track and field competitions between the two countries. Japan's technical experience in sprinting was previously more advanced than China. Based on the sprint events, Japan is better than China. Although China currently has Fang Yu to support it in the 100-meter event, in fact, the number of domestic athletes who can run under 10.20 seconds in the 100-meter event is far less than that of the Japanese team.
All members of Japan's 4x100m relay team can achieve a strength level of less than 10.20 seconds, while the four players of the Chinese team can only barely reach an average level of less than 10.30 seconds.
Moreover, to date, Japan's 400-meter sprint national record is also the 400-meter sprint record for the yellow race.
From these details, we can see that the Japanese team is indeed very strong in sprinting.
Before the rise of the 400-meter event in China, the Chinese and Japanese teams, except for Fang Yu and Wu Yi, had never been able to gain any advantage over the Japanese team in the sprint events. It was indeed as Ryunosuke Arakawa said, since the Asian Games last year, the Chinese team has had Su Bai as an "external player" and has begun to crush the Japanese team.
In the coach’s small WeChat group, everyone didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Pei Jinan was the first to speak after a moment of silence: […When Arakawa Ryunosuke was on the court this morning, he came to find Xiaobai specifically. I thought at the time that he was just too young and arrogant and wanted to get back at them. But from the perspective of the Japanese team, the Chinese team suddenly became a mountain in front of them. No wonder they talked about a revenge battle. 】
Everyone in the group thought about it and realized that if the Chinese team was suddenly suppressed by a weak team in an area they were good at, they would indeed be eager to seek revenge.
After seeing the news, Su Bai finally smiled and said: "In this case, we will fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth. 】
When the coaches saw this, they all laughed, and then informed Pei Jinan and Su Bai to convey the Japanese team's "revenge" attitude to the relay team members.
Jiang Wentao: [They are coming for revenge, let’s get ready to take it! 】
After Pei Jinan and Su Bai called the members of the relay team to a meeting, when the members of the relay team heard about this, they all looked incredulous at first. Only Qiu Wen, the stupid guy, looked eager to try after hearing it.
"What are you afraid of? Fuck him!"
Qiu Wen's eyes sparkled, he held his head high and patted his chest: "Let them know why the flowers are so red!"
……?
Zhang Ziyi stopped Qiu Wen with a helpless look on his face: "Okay, we're not going to fight!"
In fact, the attitude of the Japanese team made the track and field athletes present feel a little proud. After all, the so-called "battle of revenge" has a bit of the meaning of revenge, and why do they want to revenge?
Of course it’s because the Chinese team won before!
Especially in the 400m event, the Chinese team had always been suppressed by the Japanese team in the past. But now, the Chinese team has become the "beast with bared fangs" in the mouth of the Japanese team.
Even Zhang Ziyi feels proud and proud of such a comparison.
Su Bai glanced at everyone, then smiled and said, "From what I have learned about the Japanese media reports and the mood of the Japanese people, there will definitely be a lot of spectators coming to watch the 'Revenge Battle' tomorrow, and these spectators will definitely give their full support to the Japanese team."
"I personally think that Japan's coach Arakawa is very good at mobilizing the players' emotions. He uses the players' emotions of 'revenge' and the excitement of the audience who came to the scene because of the gimmick of 'revenge battle'. Tomorrow's Japan team will definitely be a very difficult team to deal with."
"Whether it's the 4x100m relay, the 4x400m relay, or all the other events, they will be affected by the atmosphere at home in Japan."
“So, we must not take tomorrow’s game lightly. We are the ones laughing now because Japan wants to take revenge on us. If Japan succeeds in taking revenge tomorrow, then Japan will be very motivated. And the people who will be affected by the defeat will be all of us here.”
Everyone present had not thought of this at first, and after Su Bai pointed it out, they all broke out in cold sweats.
Fang Yu, Wu Yi, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Yadan and other captains of the relay teams looked at each other and nodded seriously in the direction of Su Bai.
"We understand that tomorrow's game is Japan's revenge battle and also a challenge for us. We will never take it lightly!"
At this time, through reports from Yokohama TV News Station in Japan, the term "War of Revenge" had spread throughout Japan.
On Japanese Twitter, a large number of Japanese netizens are discussing this topic.
[Tomorrow, please make sure to avenge your previous shame!] 】
[Please, please bring back the glory that belongs to the Japanese team! 】
[Since we were defeated before, please use this victory to wash away the past shame. I will carefully check through the TV broadcast with the people of the country to see if you are fighting with all your strength! 】
Please, you must win! ! ! 】
Whether encouraging, threatening or provocative, all the remarks were directed towards the World Athletics Relays the next day.
When this topic broke out on Japanese Twitter, many Chinese students studying in Japan also discovered these comments, so someone immediately found the news report from Japan's Yokohama News Station, and took screenshots and translated many popular comments on Japanese Twitter and Facebook. They then posted these screenshots, videos, and the translated content on the domestic Internet, hoping to call on domestic netizens to support the Chinese team in the track and field relay race tomorrow.
These international students in Japan are not very aware of the current popularity of track and field topics in China. They originally thought that although they @ed many big Vs, the news would probably fall on deaf ears after being sent out. Unexpectedly, after seeing the news about the upcoming World Athletics Relays, a big V immediately forwarded it and decisively gave himself a fan headline.
Moreover, this big V is not a big V in the field of social news or sports news, but an entertainment paparazzi big V who works diligently to make various gossip headlines every day for KPI.
Entertainment Celebrities: [Shock! Regarding the World Athletics Relays to be held on May 11, this is the attitude of the Japanese team...? ! (Forward the text)]
Before these international students in Japan could react to what was happening, many big Vs also saw the news. So, all of a sudden, these international students in Japan found that they had poked the nest of big Vs on Weibo. Not only those big Vs they had @ed, but even many big Vs they had not @ed also retweeted their Weibo posts.
Soon, the term #RevengeBattle# quickly climbed to the top of the hot searches on Weibo in China.
