Su Bai, who was sitting in the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV station, had no idea that the skill he had originally displayed just to intimidate Arakawa Ryunosuke had suddenly caused a huge wave on the Internet in both China and Japan.
The topic #苏白非人体脑# on Weibo in China overturned the hot search list of Weibo and the friend circles of various public accounts. On Japanese platforms such as Twitter, the name "苏白" also directly rushed to the top of the Japanese Twitter trend. In just a short period of time, it squeezed into the top of the trend along with the Yokohama World Athletics Relays, the first place in the Japanese men's 4x400m group and other hot news about Japanese celebrities.
[Cold, mysterious and handsome, Su Jun is absolutely the perfect protagonist in the comics. (Screaming) How could such a person appear in real life? ? ? 】
[Oh no, my heart is completely obsessed! The contestants will all have their own cheering clubs. Does anyone want to set up a cheering club for coach Su Jun? If so, please let me know how to find you! I also want to join in supporting Su Jun! 】
【Ahhh, I never thought that one day I would fall in love with a Chinese coach, but the way he becomes an elite in his professional field is really too charming! ! 】
[Woo woo woo, while showing a harmless and shy smile, she said, "All this data is stored in my mind." 'This kind of talk is such an extremely cute and adorable crit! ! ! My heart is broken, is this really a real person? Ah, I’m really crazy…】
The so-called "worship of the strong" is a common instinct of human beings. This worship exists in various fields and across different countries.
When Su Bai calmly said, "These data are all in my mind," when he calmly answered all the questions from Uchimura Hirotoshi and Arakawa Ryunosuke, when he accurately commented on the runners of the women's 4x100m relay teams from various countries at the invitation of Uchimura Hirotoshi...
This Chinese coach, who had not attracted much attention from Japanese audiences before, has now become the focus of the Yokohama TV station's live broadcast room. Japanese men, women, young and old, have all completely remembered this Chinese coach named Su Bai and his name.
The hot trends on domestic and Japanese networks are still rising, but the relay race is still moving forward.
At Yokohama TV, no one mentioned the duel between Arakawa Ryunosuke and Su Bai. After all, working with a genius with super brains to make predictions based on data requires a lot of data...
Whenever he thought of this, Uchimura Hirotoshi, who was also present at the scene and witnessed Su Bai's performance, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Arakawa Ryunosuke.
Arakawa is indeed a talented coach in Japan, but the bad thing is that he met this super brain from the Chinese Empire.
After the three preliminary group matches of the women's 4x100m were over, the final of the new mixed men's and women's 2x2x400m relay was inserted in between. As the host of this event, the Japanese team also participated in this match with their 400m relay team and won the third place in this competition.
But even though the Japanese team achieved such good results, Ryunosuke Arakawa did not show any particular joy on his face.
The Japanese team does have good strength in the sprint events, and the 400-meter sprint is also one of the team's strengths. Now they have a group of young talented athletes such as Sora Akiyama, Yota Aso, and Tsuru Shiraishi. However, the depth of talent reserves of the Japanese team in the 400-meter event is definitely not at the level of teams like the United States and Jamaica.
In today's competition, the complete schedule is: mixed obstacle relay preliminaries, women's 4x400m relay, men's 4x400m relay, women's 4x100m relay, mixed 2x2x400m relay, men's 4x100m relay, mixed men's and women's 4x400m relay and the final mixed obstacle relay final.
This schedule has maximized the time gap between the preliminaries of the mixed men's and women's 4x400m relay and the preliminaries of the men's and women's 4x400m relay.
Generally speaking, in order to ensure the final mixed 4x400m relay preliminaries results and strive to win the qualification for the World Championships and Tokyo Olympics in this event, if the team's own athletes are insufficient in talent, they will not arrange athletes to participate in the mixed relay in the middle. However, Ryunosuke Arakawa still arranged for the Japanese team's players to participate.
When Uchimura Hirotoki invited Su Bai to comment on and predict the teams in the mixed 2x2x400m, Su Bai calmly glanced at Ryunosuke Arakawa and roughly guessed what Arakawa would do - it seemed that the Japanese team had temporarily given up the mixed 4x400m event in this competition.
However, what Su Bai didn’t quite understand was that since the decision had been made, why did Arakawa Ryunosuke look so unhappy?
If Arakawa Ryunosuke knew the doubts in Su Bai's mind, he might spit out blood.
In today's game, he actually did not give up the plan for any event. You know, today is the home game of the Japanese team. In the Yokohama Stadium, a stadium that the Japanese players are very familiar with, there are 70,000 spectators cheering for the Japanese players. There is also the gimmick of "revenge battle" before the game.
Sometimes, the excitement and the emotion of "successful revenge" can, with careful calculation, be enough to make up for the physical deficiency of athletes.
This was what Ryunosuke Arakawa planned, but he did not expect that the team he wanted to provoke - the Chinese team, would achieve results that would be eye-catching enough in such a competition.
In the women's 4x400m event, although the Chinese team only ranked fifth, their actual score was 3 minutes 30.98 seconds. Although the Japanese team won third place in the group, they lost to the Chinese team with a score of 3 minutes 31.19 seconds. Some Japanese spectators even thought that if the Chinese team was in the same group as the Japanese team, they would definitely be able to advance to the finals.
The same was true for the men's 4x400m event. Although the Japanese team won first place in the group, the Chinese team not only ran more easily but also achieved better results than the Japanese team when facing stronger opponents.
After these two games, the athletes of the Japanese team were holding their breath, so in the mixed men's and women's 2x2x400m race, Sora Akiyama and the players of the women's team also held on and ran out of third place at this stage.
When seeing this result, Arakawa's brows were tightly furrowed and it was difficult to relax.
Originally, if there had not been this 2x2x400m race, Akiyama Sora and the main players of the women's team might have been able to vent their anger in the final mixed 4x400m race. But now, because of their performance in this unimportant 2x2x400m final, Su Bai even misunderstood that the Japanese team had given up the mixed 4x400m event in this competition.
In short, Akiyama Sora was really troubled by the current situation. The original "revenge" plan had completely failed, bringing many results beyond his original plan. Moreover, the live broadcast of Yokohama TV station had actually been completely out of control by now.
It can be said that if there had not been today's live broadcast, or if Su Bai had not performed like this in the live broadcast, even if the Japanese team's "revenge" performance in today's game was not ideal, it would still be able to motivate the players to fight with all their strength in tomorrow's final. As long as they can beat the Chinese team in tomorrow's game, then the originally planned "revenge battle" would not be a complete failure.
But now, Su Bai's "super brain" that was completely beyond his expectations was the heaviest blow that completely terminated all of Arakawa Ryunosuke's plans.
At this moment, all the Japanese audiences watching the live broadcast had already turned their attention to Su Bai himself. Under such circumstances, Arakawa Ryunosuke really couldn't find any strength to fight back.
Su Bai didn't know that Ryunosuke Arakawa was frowning and reflecting on his plan. He just commented on the first group of athletes in the men's 4x100m preliminaries who had already appeared at the invitation of Hirotoki Uchimura.
Compared with the women's 4x100m, there are more teams in the men's 4x100m, totaling 25 teams. Therefore, there are 9 teams in the first group of the preliminaries, and the difficulty of advancing is much higher than the other two groups.
Not only that, the first group of the preliminaries also includes strong teams such as Britain, Brazil and Jamaica. The intensity of this competition is so high that the atmosphere of the men's 4x100m preliminaries has been heated up to its peak as soon as it started.
In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Shao Minyi and Li Sen were discussing the preliminary round that had just ended.
"There were no surprises in this group, with Britain, Brazil and Jamaica taking the top three places. Britain's performance in the men's 4x100m relay was very stable. The four British relay runners were very good in terms of individual strength, tacit understanding and baton-passing skills. Most people expected such a result."
Shao Minyi and Li Sen were talking about how the British team's result in the group preliminaries was the best in the world so far this year, while they were also discussing the Chinese 4x100m relay team that would be taking the stage in the second group of preliminaries later.
At the scene, in the audience, although Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan seemed to be sitting comfortably in the audience, their mood at the moment was really not relaxed.
The reason is simple. In the second group of the men's 4x100m preliminaries which is about to start, the Chinese team will appear. What's worse is that the Chinese men's 4x100m relay team is in the same preliminaries group as the Japanese team.
If the Japanese men's 4x400m relay team is only first-class in Asia, then the Japanese men's 4x100m relay team can be regarded as a world-class team.
This is a top team with an average strength of athletes within 10.20 seconds and the core players' scores within 10.05 seconds. Not only that, this team has a tacit understanding and has trained the baton passing technique unique to the Japanese team. In the past five years, Japan's 4x100m relay team has relied on its own strength to break into the finals of world-class events such as the Olympics and World Championships, and even won the 4x100m relay medal at the World Championships.
In comparison, although the Chinese team has Fang Yu, a strong player who broke the ten-second barrier, among the remaining players, only Zhao Shu's PB is within 10.20 seconds, and the PBs of the other two players are only around 10.30 seconds.
Although the Chinese men's 4x100m relay team has developed a high level of mutual understanding through years of training, they still lag behind the Japanese team in baton passing skills and individual speed capabilities.
In addition to the Japanese team, there are also teams like the United States and Canada in this group. Tonight's game will be held at the home court of the Japanese team...
"Alas, our luck in the draw this time is really not that good." Jiang Wentao looked at the teams from various countries that had already taken to the field and could not help but let out a long sigh.
Although Pei Jinan mentioned the issue of lack of strength when Jiang Wentao was expressing his feelings before, at this moment, he rubbed his forehead and didn't want to talk about the issue of strength anymore.
Although it is true that China's 4x100m relay team is slightly weaker than Japan's, the current men's 4x100m relay team has once made it to the World Championships finals. Now facing such a crisis, Pei Jinan does feel a little depressed.
In the domestic live broadcasts of the sports channel and Kukuzu, the respective commentators were discussing whether the Chinese team had any hope of making it through the siege in this game. Shao Minyi and Kukuzu's commentator Jiang Chao both had similar opinions - the Chinese team can definitely strive for third or fourth place, and as long as the results are good enough, they will still have the hope of entering the finals as the top two teams that have not qualified.
"...I think the Japanese team may not be able to advance directly."
In the live broadcast room of Yokohama TV, Hirotoshi Uchimura was also introducing the scene. In the stadium with a capacity of 70,000 people, the audience was cheering and excitedly cheering for the players of the Japanese team. In the huge stands, some people even organized a human wave, which seemed like they were celebrating for the Japanese team in advance.
Japan's men's 4x100m relay team also holds a very high status in the hearts of Japanese audiences. In addition to the men's 4x400m revenge battle, tonight's gimmick was originally focused on the men's 4x100m Japanese team relay preliminaries.
When Hirotoshi Uchimura introduced the scene and the four batters of the Japanese team on the field, his face was filled with pride. He was absolutely confident in this team.
As a result, Hirotoki Uchimura did not expect that when he asked Su Bai about his evaluation of the Japanese 4x100m relay team, Su Bai would say this through the translator.
"impossible!"
This was Uchimura Hirotoki's first reaction. He frowned and said to Su Bai, "Mr. Su, since you have also studied the men's 4x100m event, you should know that our 4x100m relay team has never let us down. This is the strongest team in Asia!"
Whether it was Hirotoki Uchimura who was at the scene, or the Japanese audience who were watching the live broadcast of Yokohama TV in front of the TV at this time, the first instinctive thought in their minds was - this is impossible.
However, in the live broadcast room, Su Bai's expression was still very calm. When he heard Uchimura Hirotoki's rebuttal, he motioned Uchimura Hirotoki to look at the live broadcast screen and the status of the Japanese men's team.
From the close-up of the big screen during the live broadcast, we can see that the players of the Japanese team, who are being given special attention by the big screen, have excited smiles on their faces, and their eyes are very determined and bright. Looking at the movements they are preparing on the spot, we can see that they are in a very excited state, and they wave to the audience from time to time.
Hirotoshi Uchimura didn't notice anything special. If he had to say something, it was that the Japanese players on the field all had bloodshot eyes.
"Mr. Su, I don't understand, is there something wrong with our contestants?" Uchimura Hirotoshi opened his eyes, a puzzled look on his face.
Su Bai pointed in the direction of the screen: "The contestants are too excited."
Then, Su Bai continued, "If I'm not mistaken, did the Japanese players announce before the game that they hope to advance with the best results?"
Hearing Su Bai's words, Uchimura Hirotoshi was stunned for a moment: "...Yes, in the pre-match press interview, the players once said that they hope to advance to the finals with the first place in the group in today's competition."
This was the home game of the Japanese team. It was normal for the Japanese players to have this idea. Moreover, considering their strength, although they were facing the American team, as long as they performed well and took advantage of the American team's mistakes in passing the baton, they were indeed capable of defeating the American team and winning first place in the preliminary group.
Most of the spectators in the stadium also saw the Japanese team's pre-match declaration, so when the Japanese team took the stage, the cheering on the scene seemed even more excited than in the previous events.
The boiling arena, the heart eager to win, and the absolute confidence that has never made a mistake in a major competition.
All of this seemed very beautiful, but when Su Bai asked this question, Uchimura Hirotoki's face stiffened, and even the Japanese audiences in front of the TV felt nervous.
"…So, Mr. Su, based on your data predictions, do you think the Japanese team will make mistakes today?" Ryunosuke Arakawa asked Su Bai with a frown on his face.
Su Bai shook his head: "No."
After hearing Su Bai's "no", Uchimura Hirotoki, who was standing by, hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the translator relay the second half of Su Bai's words: "The Japanese team's performance data has always been very balanced and excellent. For this prediction, I relied on my personal judgment and intuition of the athletes' status as a coach."
After Su Bai said this, Arakawa Ryunosuke's eyes were also fixed on the big screen at the scene. From the screen, he could indeed see that the players of the Japanese team were very excited.
An excited and high-spirited competitive state is originally a good thing, but...what if this state gets out of control?
Thinking of this possibility, Ryunosuke Arakawa's heart skipped a beat and he frowned tightly.
In this atmosphere in the live broadcast room, the men's 4x100m athletes on site were ready to start the race, and the first runners of the eight teams were already squatting on the starting blocks.
The second group of the men's 4x100m preliminaries is now... ready to go!
