Domestic, Weibo
My name is Kang Kang, rwkk: [#World Track and Field Relays#…Are there any friends watching the relay race live on Yokohama TV? (Kneeling down) I am a little confused now, doubting my life. As a poor student, I am considering paying respect to Coach Su Baisu before the next exam...]
Not many people paid attention to this Weibo post at first, but when Wang Daning was browsing related topics, he happened to see this Weibo post and then reposted Kang Kang's Weibo post to his own homepage.
It’s Dan, Not Dan: [I’m watching… I doubt life as well +1, I just lost my voice when watching the live broadcast…// (Repost the original text)]
As the overseas student who mainly forwarded and translated Japan-related information in the past two days, Wang Daning has accumulated a small number of Weibo fans in the past two days. Now many people know that she is studying in Japan and that Su Bai is broadcasting live on Yokohama TV in Japan. Most of the domestic track and field fans do not know Japanese and cannot watch the live broadcast of Yokohama TV, so they are waiting for Wang Daning and other overseas students to come up with a translated screenshot version to satisfy their curiosity.
In other words, this group of track and field fans saw the content forwarded by Wang Daning first, but no one quite understood what the forwarded content meant.
3l: [? ? ? What's wrong? What's wrong? ? ? Why did you become speechless? ? ? 】
7l:【_(:3)∠】_? What happened? Why do we have to ask Su Bai to take the exam? I remember that the Japanese coach was going to compete with Su Bai today, right? Does that mean all of Su Bai’s predictions were correct? 】
10l: [It’s impossible to be correct in all predictions… If Su Bai’s predictions were all correct, then is he still a human being? I feel like Su Bai should have won, but not to the point of being completely right! 】
After discovering Wang Daning's Weibo post, a group of track and field enthusiasts and bystanders quickly rushed to Wang Daning's Weibo post and created a group of comments under the reposted Weibo post, waiting for Wang Daning to release a screenshot of the translated version.
However, Wang Daning might really be taking screenshots and translating subtitles, as he did not show up for a long time. On TV, the women's 4x100m preliminary group stage was about to begin, so for a moment, everyone was distracted to watch the game and just casually swiped their phones, waiting for Wang Daning to reply later to see what happened.
In Yokohama, the first group of the women's 4x100m preliminaries has been put in place, and the Chinese women's 4x100m relay team will also appear in this competition.
In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV, although Hirotoshi Uchimura had reluctantly turned his attention to the field and began to introduce the various teams on the field, it was obvious that he was still shocked by Su Bai's previous performance. Even Ryunosuke Arakawa looked a little silent at this time.
Before the start of the first group of the women's 4x100m preliminaries, the staff on site handed three white boards to Arakawa and Su Bai respectively as usual. If you look closely, this time when the staff handed the white boards to Su Bai, there was a strange look on their faces as if they were looking at a god.
This time, the person who asked first was not Arakawa, but Su Bai.
"Coach Arakawa, should we continue?"
Su Bai looked at Arakawa Ryunosuke calmly, and after hearing the translator's retelling, Arakawa Ryunosuke frowned and looked at Su Bai with a very complicated look. After a while, he nodded: "Continue."
After Arakawa and Su Bai wrote down their predictions on their first set of whiteboards, Uchimura Hirotoki had basically finished introducing the teams on site. Then he stared at the whiteboard in front of Su Bai and couldn't help asking another question: "Don't you... even have access to the team data for the women's 4x100m?"
After hearing this question, Su Bai smiled shyly: "That's not the case."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the translator's words, and then everyone quickly reacted - Su Bai was the head coach for the 400m event, and it was completely normal that he did not pay attention to the relevant data of the women's 4x100m? Why would they feel relieved?
As a result, before they could relax for too long, Su Bai briefly added: "But as a track and field coach, I must be paying attention to the latest data and related research progress of various track and field events, so I have some understanding of the women's 100 meters."
…
…………
?
After hearing this, a question mark appeared in Hirotoshi Uchimura's head again.
[Some understanding]?
Uchimura Hirotoshi looked at Su Bai with a complicated look: I always feel that this [slight understanding] is not that simple?
At home, in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen certainly had no idea what was happening on Yokohama TV in Japan at the moment. They were waiting for the official start of the women's 4x100m race with a little nervousness.
Although China's women's 100-meter sprint event does not have Fang Yu, who leads the yellow race in 100-meter speed, like the men's 100-meter sprint, there are still several outstanding players.
At present, the captain of the women's relay team, Ou Xue, is the best female player in the team. She and another female member of the team, Li Yuhan, have both qualified for this year's Doha World Championships in the individual 100-meter event.
Led by these two who are considered to be the top female 100m athletes in Asia, the women's 4x100m team has always performed very well.
This time, the women's 4x100m team came with a clear mission to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. The minimum goal is to qualify for the World Championships in this competition, which means they must at least enter the top two in the Group B final.
This task can be considered quite arduous. There are 24 teams participating in the women's 4x100m, with a total of 3 preliminary groups, each with 8 teams. Compared with the previous men's 4x400m with 6 teams in each group, it is much more difficult to stand out and win the top two places.
What's even more difficult is that this time, the group drawn by the women's 4x100m team is not a good one.
"We can see that the Chinese team is competing with teams from the United States, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, France, and the United Kingdom. This preliminary round is full of dangers. If we want to get the top two qualifying spots, then our women's team must grab the top two spots among the above-mentioned teams."
At this point, Shao Min couldn't help but reveal a hint of a wry smile on his face: "Just looking at the list I just counted, you should be able to see that in this competition, the women's 4x100m team will have a very difficult time!"
During the discussion between Shao Minyi and Li Sen, the teams on the field had already made their preparations. Soon, the starter's voice sounded over the live broadcast, and the first group of preliminaries of the women's 4x100m officially kicked off.
Just as Shao Minyi and Li Sen said, it was not easy for the Chinese women's 4x100m relay team to run in this preliminaries.
If the advantage of the women's team is that Ou Xue and Li Yuhan are both top-notch in Asia in the 100m, and the tacit understanding gained from long-term training together, then the American team is the representative of the saying 'the reason why I only have 3 athletes participating in the World Championships is because the World Championships only allow 3 spots for each country in individual events'.
Top teams like the United States usually have two lineups in relay events. This arrangement allows the core players in the team to get rotation and rest time, and also allows different players to be sent into the preliminaries and finals.
The same is true for today's preliminaries. Even though today's preliminaries are very important, the US team did not send out their top lineup.
Not only the American team, but also players from countries like Brazil, France, and the United Kingdom who are able to secure places in the World Championships all start with 2 jumps, and the other players in their teams have better speed capabilities than those of the Chinese women's team.
As for Trinidad and Tobago, although this team may not have as many athletes capable of entering the World Championships as the Chinese team, they are balanced in strength and have excellent tacit understanding. In the relay event, the country of Trinidad and Tobago has a mysterious talent that makes their athletes cannot be underestimated in the relay race.
The Chinese women's team is facing such a group of opponents in this preliminary group, which makes it hard not to worry.
When the starting gun sounded, the first runner Li Yuhan quickly started from the bend, and the cheers in the stadium once again rang out. In the start of this preliminary round, Li Yuhan's reaction speed was excellent, and her reaction time of 0.133 seconds ranked second in the field. Her burst and acceleration on the bend were very smooth, and it can be seen that her current state is very good.
However, Li Yuhan was fast, and the leading runners from the United States, Brazil, and Trinidad and Tobago on the track ahead and behind her also reacted quickly.
At the first turn, the first runners of each team performed well. However, in the 4x100m relay, since the race is shorter and the frequency of baton passing is higher within the limited race, for many teams, whether they can pass the baton smoothly and without losing speed during the passing is a huge problem.
Be it Shao Minyi or Li Sen, or the audience in front of the TV, they all became nervous when the women's team entered the first baton passing process - the first baton passing is very critical, as it determines whether the second runner can quickly and smoothly take over the baton and then enter the fast sprint on the straight track.
On the field, the game was still going on, and some viewers who had seen Wang Daning's reposted Weibo habitually refreshed their Weibo while watching the game, and then saw that the original blogger named "Kang Kang" replied to one of the viewers on the first floor in the comment section under Wang Daning.
Kang Kang: […No, Boss Su’s predictions are very accurate, but the most amazing thing is…how Boss Su made his predictions. 】
?
? ? ?
How to make predictions?
Many fans of PaoShen who saw this reply were a little confused, and soon they saw Kang Kang’s reply saying - [You will understand after this blogger posts the translation screenshot or video. I am still confused now. Brother Su is really a big shot. He is really awesome. Next time I take an exam, I will definitely worship him as the god of study! 】
……?
The track and field fans were stunned for a moment when they heard Shao Minyi's voice on the live TV: "Oh, the British team lost the baton!"
Wow!
Did the British team lose the baton?
The distracted audience finally came to their senses and immediately looked up at the live broadcast: Oh, it’s true! And it was not only the British team that lost the baton. Two teams including Poland and France also accidentally dropped the baton when the first and second runners were passing the baton.
Among the 8 teams, 3 teams dropped the baton in the blink of an eye. The only teams that successfully passed the baton were China, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil and Ukraine.
As for Team USA...
No matter which relay event the American team participates in, it basically seems to rely on brute force. The individual strength of each player is top-notch, but when it comes to passing the baton, I don't know if they have no talent or are too lazy to train. In short, their level is really poor.
This time too, the two players of the American team failed to pass the baton smoothly in the passing area, but fortunately, they did not drop the baton. It was just that the first and second runners waited for each other at both ends.
This kind of baton passing situation by the American team was not the first time. Shao Minyi and Li Sen could not help laughing when they saw this.
Li Sen sighed and said, "Oh, watching the American team pass the baton, it's really frustrating sometimes..."
Many track and field fans in front of the TV also smiled knowingly after hearing this.
Isn’t it?
Especially in the 4x100m relay, the total race time is only 30 to 40 seconds. In such a limited time, they often have to wait for the baton to be passed, and the next runner's acceleration in the preliminary run area is sometimes in vain.
Even though they knew that this was their national team's opponent, it still made people want to rush up and help them pass the baton.
After the British, French and Polish teams dropped the baton, the chances of the remaining teams on the field increased a lot instantly. Of course, even so, it is not easy to get a place in the next round.
Although the American team had huge flaws in passing the baton, this flaw was not fatal to them. After a brief lag, the second runner of the American team easily caught up with the player in front, making it difficult not to be impressed by the individual strength of the American team's players.
When the women's team's competition reached the last round, there was an unexpected mistake in the baton passing between the third and fourth runners of the Chinese team. This mistake caused the Chinese team, which was originally in third place, to be overtaken by the fourth-placed Trinidad and Tobago team. In the end, although Ou Xue, who was in the fourth runner, tried her best to make up for the time lost in the previous mistake, she could only watch with regret as the fourth runner from Trinidad and Tobago, who was not far from her, crossed the finish line first.
In the audience, Pei Jinan frowned slightly after watching the preliminaries, but there was no overly angry expression on his face, he just sighed helplessly.
Jiang Wentao patted his shoulder and consoled him, "It's okay. It's okay. We were unlucky in the preliminary grouping this time. If we were assigned to the second preliminary group, we would have a much better chance of advancing."
Pei Jinan heard this consolation and just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's not what I said. It's still because our strength is not strong enough. If our strength is the same as the American team, then even if our passing level is like theirs, it still won't affect their advancement to the finals as the first in the group, right?"
Yes, although the American team still had two obvious problems in passing the baton in this preliminary round, they relied on the strong individual abilities of their players and finally won the first place and qualified.
Yokohama TV, Japan
Originally, in the last round of the men's 4x400m race, both Su Bai and Arakawa's prediction whiteboards were put aside until the end and shown together. But this time, after Uchimura Hirotoki expressed his admiration for the strength of the American women's team, his gaze involuntarily turned to the whiteboard in front of Su Bai.
"Mr. Su, if you don't mind... would you like to show me your prediction results now?"
Uchimura Hirotoshi invited Su Bai to show his predictions. Although Ryunosuke Arakawa next to him pursed his lips and said nothing, he knew in his heart that the theme of this live broadcast had obviously changed from a two-person duel between him and Su Bai to an anticipation for Su Bai's predictions in each round.
In fact, even he was curious about Su Bai's prediction results.
This is a guy with a brain as terrifying as a computer!
Earlier, when Su Bai told him about his prediction method, Arakawa Ryunosuke's first reaction was "fake", but after he actually asked a series of questions, he finally had to admit that he chose this coach from China as his opponent, hoping to defeat him to boost the morale of the Japanese team...
This choice must be wrong.
Just as Su Bai said, there is nothing special about his way of prediction. What is really special is his brain.
Of course, Arakawa Ryunosuke could also see that in addition to Su Bai's super memory, there were obviously some other factors that he didn't say out loud - for example, the players' scores all fluctuate, so how does he need to make accurate predictions about the players' scores? How can we take into account the performance differences between different players?
There are many aspects involved that require the coach to have sufficient experience or self-determination to come up with the correct answer.
And these experiences and Su Bai's self-summary skills are what he didn't say out loud.
Arakawa Ryunosuke knew it very well, but many people did not realize this. In fact, even if someone could carry with him an electronic device that stored the countless data that Su Bai said, it would be difficult for that person to quickly integrate this data in his brain and make the most correct judgment.
As many people in the live broadcast room were expecting, Su Bai simply flipped open the whiteboard in front of him. On it was clearly written Su Bai's ranking judgment for this group preliminaries. Among them, except for a few teams that dropped the baton, Su Bai's accuracy rate was almost 100%.
…

?
When Hirotoki Uchimura looked at the answer, he showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself. Many Japanese viewers in front of the TV could understand Hirotoki Uchimura's expression at this time.
Almost everyone wanted to ask Su Bai: Is this what you said...only a slight understanding?
