Chapter 206 (Four in One)
Act like a spoiled child with elders.
When these five words are put together, four of them are full of flaws.
Whether it was "elder" or "acting like a spoiled child", Su Yu didn't know how to respond.
But even a genius student would have his brain go haywire sometimes - like now.
Su Yu felt that what Jiang Yuan and Ang Zi said made sense, so why not...he give it a try?
Perhaps the huge pile of cooperation invitation documents consumed Su Yu's brain, so he took out his mobile phone and sent an emoticon to Pei Dingshan, who was still drinking coffee and processing documents in the dormitory.
In the dormitory, Pei Dingshan was processing various work-related data and documents at hand, when he saw a WeChat message from Su Yu pop up in the upper right corner.
He thought Su Yu had something urgent to do, so he quickly switched the window to the WeChat chat window, only to see that Su Yu sent him an emoticon... ?
Su Yu: [Xiao Yu praying gif]
On the WeChat interface, scrolling up the chat history of the two people, both he and Su Yu were the type who were concise and to the point, and there was basically no useless information. As for emoticons and the like, there were almost none.
Pei Dingshan saw the Q-version character on the WeChat interface - a tiny guy, with his hands crossed and fists clenched in front of his chest, looking at him eagerly.
Perhaps because this Q-version figurine did bear a subtle resemblance to Su Yu, Pei Dingshan's mind unconsciously imagined Su Yu looking at him eagerly in front of him.
What is this little guy doing?
pray?
behave in a spoiled manner?
It was just a simple imagination, and Pei Dingshan's mouth curled up involuntarily. He took a look at the emoticon package sent by Su Yu, thought for two seconds, and quickly found Su Yu's emoticon collection on WeChat.
Then, smiling, he picked out an emoticon of Su Yu being rubbed on the head and sent it directly.
On the way to the cafeteria, Su Yu was still regretting the emoticon he had just sent out. Just as his mind gradually became clear and he wondered whether he should withdraw the emoticon, his phone vibrated. When he picked up the phone, he saw the rua head gif sent back by Pei Dingshan.
Su Yu felt like all the hair on his body was about to explode!
Who is he, where is he, what is he doing? !
Ahhh, why on earth was he so crazy that he had to listen to Zhou Yuang and send an emoticon to the coach...!
Su Yu's stiff appearance quickly attracted the attention of Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang.
"Su Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Let's go, the cafeteria is almost there!"
Su Yu didn't know what he was doing. He felt that what he wanted to do now might be to leave this world...
As a result, before he finished thinking about "leaving this world", he felt the WeChat in his hand vibrate again.
Pei Dingshan: [What do you want to say? 】
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu's hands typed back and forth on the keyboard dozens of times in confusion, but in the end he was unable to make clear what he wanted to do.
Pei Dingshan on the other end of WeChat was very patient. He looked at Su Yu's chat window with amusement, which kept displaying 'The other party is typing...' over and over again above it, as if through this WeChat window, he could see Su Yu's confused and troubled look on his face.
If only the little one was with him now.
Pei Dingshan felt that his palms were a little itchy and he really wanted to raise his hand to rub Su Yu's head and see the little guy's conflicted and cute look in front of him.
Su Yu's reply message was ultimately not sent.
After breakfast in the morning, he was reluctant to go back to the Chinese Building in the Olympic Village.
No matter how much you delay, you still have to reply.
As a result, just as Su Yu stepped into the room with the thought of "dying heroically", he was about to walk towards his room, when a voice came to his ears from the direction of the living room behind him.
"Xiaoyu."
It was rare for Su Yu to enter a room like a thief. He was still hesitating whether to continue pretending not to hear anything. Suddenly, Pei Dingshan's big hand covered his head. Su Yu was so scared that he shrank his body. As a result, Pei Dingshan happened to be the one he stepped back to. When he took a step back, he ran directly into Pei Dingshan's arms.
Pei Dingshan didn't expect Su Yu to suddenly "throw himself into his arms". Seeing Su Yu falling into his arms, Pei Dingshan couldn't help laughing this time.
From his angle, he could clearly see that Su Yu's ears suddenly turned red.
Su Yu's skin was originally very fair, and she would not get tanned even if she participated in outdoor competitions and outdoor training every day in summer. But now her ears were so obviously red that Pei Dingshan's face was full of smiles.
Su Yu finally reacted at this moment, and hurriedly took a step forward to stand firm, then turned around and looked at Pei Dingshan: "... Coach."
Su Yu now feels that a busy schedule is also good. At least when the schedule is so dense, he won't go to WeChat to "act coquettishly" with Pei Dingshan because of what Zhou Yuang said this morning, which would cause him to be ashamed to face his coach and go back to the dormitory like a thief.
Pei Dingshan looked at the blushing face of the child in front of him, and suddenly felt that the usually serious Su Yu was a good person, and the Su Yu who couldn't resist being teased was also a good person.
Looking at the child in front of him, he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his head, suppressing his laughter and asked: "Huh? Didn't you say that after breakfast, you would accompany me to look at your invitation documents?"
Invitation document!
Su Yu seemed to be frozen in place by these four words. After hearing the "invitation document", he froze in place - yes, he did so many stupid things in the morning, but in the end, it seemed that he still hadn't told Pei Dingshan his request.
After being stiff for two seconds, Su Yu felt a little listless. In the end, he could only subconsciously grab one of Pei Dingshan's hands, then looked up eagerly to meet Pei Dingshan's gaze.
"……coach."
Perhaps because he felt guilty about dumping so much work on Pei Dingshan, the last word "coach" unconsciously carried a tone of pleading, and he even blinked subconsciously.
Pei Dingshan: “…”
Pei Dingshan was also caught off guard.
He seldom faced Su Yu's face at such a close distance, and Su Yu never normally had this pleading look. Now that such a critical combination was right in front of him, Pei Dingshan suddenly felt his heart skip a beat for no reason, and he couldn't even remember why he wanted to tease Su Yu in the first place.
Seeing the child's pleading look in front of him, even the hardest heart would soften. What's more, Pei Dingshan was already prepared to help Su Yu deal with the documents - he had even roughly reviewed those documents before the morning based on his experience before the winter training.
Looking at the little guy in front of him who was blinking from time to time, Pei Dingshan couldn't help laughing in the end, and raised his hand to rub Su Yu's head.
Pei Dingshan looked at the little guy standing in front of him and being rubbed on the head, and couldn't help laughing again: "... He is quite good at acting like a spoiled child."
Su Yu:? !
Su Yu looked up at Pei Dingshan with a confused and shocked look - what are you talking about?
Pei Dingshan looked at the confused little guy, and the smile on his face deepened, but he did not respond to Su Yu's confused look. Instead, after rubbing his head, he said to him: "Okay, go back to your room and rest. I'll help you deal with those documents."
***
Su Yu's mind was in a mess until he returned to the room. He rolled himself into the quilt on the cardboard bed, and still couldn't understand why Pei Dingshan said that he was "quite good at acting like a spoiled child."
But anyway...
Has his purpose of 'passing the buck' been achieved?
In the mobile phone group, Zhou Yuang was @Su Yu - he had something else to do just now and hadn't come back with Jiang Yuan yet, so he asked Su Yu in the group whether the goal had been achieved.
Su Yu hesitated for a long time before replying: […I guess it’s done. 】
Zhou Yuang: [Xiaoyu’s proud gif, look! You can’t go wrong if you listen to me! 】
Su Yu: [……]
Although, Su Yu always felt that there was something different from what Zhou Yuang said. At least, if it was really about being a spoiled child to an elder...
Su Yu thought about it, if he was really acting coquettishly towards Coach Zheng, Coach Liu and the others, it was impossible for him to act like a spoiled child in the same way as he did with Pei Dingshan just now?
Perhaps this part of the knowledge point was beyond Su Yu's knowledge reserve. After he lay on the bed and rolled himself up like a silkworm cocoon, he tossed and turned for a long time.
As a result, at this moment, Zhan Youming's puzzled voice suddenly came from the side: "Su Xiaoyu, what are you doing twisting and turning like a caterpillar?"
Zhan Youming had run too hard in the 200m semi-final the night before, and he felt exhausted after coming back from the massage. He had slept well until this point, which was almost 8am.
He had a good sleep quality, and even if there was noise around him, it had little impact on him. He slept until he woke up naturally, and thought that there was no one in the dormitory room. As a result, he turned around and saw Su Yu lying on the bed like a silkworm pupa.
Zhan Youming usually saw Su Yu as having a steady personality. Today, it was a rare sight to see Su Yu wrapping himself up in bed like a silkworm pupa. He was really too cute.
He stood up with amusement and walked to Su Yu's bed, intending to take a closer look at Su Yu's appearance as a "cricket pupa" on the bed. However, Su Yu did not expect Zhan Youming to wake up suddenly. Thinking about the stupid thing he had just done, after staring at Zhan Youming for two seconds, his brain short-circuited, and he grabbed the quilt and hid himself in it.
Zhan Youming: "...Poof"
Zhan Youming: “Hahahahahahahahaha!”
While smiling, Zhan Youming quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of Su Yu as a silkworm pupa, and sent it to the group of their relay team.
Zhan Youming: [^^No prize guessing game, who is this? 】
This group includes the main and substitute players of the men's 4*100m relay team as well as the two coaches Sun Gaoshu and Pei Dingshan.
We were all early risers, and since there wasn’t much training to do at the moment, someone soon showed up in the group.
Zheng Tianxi: [? 】
Feng Chuming: [? 】
Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming neatly put two question marks to represent their doubts.
Gao Yansong: [@Zhan Youming, are you awake? How are you feeling today? 】
Zhan Youming: [Don’t worry, I’m fine! 】
Gao Yansong first asked about Zhan Youming's condition. After confirming that Zhan Youming was in good condition, he started to guess in support.
Gao Yansong: [Zhou Yuang? 】
After all, Zhan Youming would ask this in the group, which means that he should be sending it to people in the group. However, among so many people in their group, the only one who looks like he would roll himself up like this is Zhou Yuang.
However, Zhou Yuang lived in the same dormitory as Gao Yansong. He had gone out to have breakfast in the morning. How could he have let Zhan Youming see him curled up like this?
Come to think of it, if Zhan Youming could see it, he must at least be in the same dormitory with him, right?
If I were to share a dormitory with you...Su Yu?
As soon as this answer came out, Gao Yansong shook his head - how is this possible?
Before Gao Yansong could say anything, Zhou Yuang burst into laughter in the group.
Zhou Yuang: [@苏渚, Su Xiaoyu, why did you roll yourself up into a caterpillar! 】
As soon as Zhou Yuang said this, the case was solved on the spot. Was it really Su Yu?
Everyone in the group couldn't help laughing in front of their phone screens - this Su Yu, it was rare for him to look childish.
Pei Dingshan, the only one in the group who knew why Su Yu rolled himself into a silkworm cocoon, couldn't help laughing when he saw the photo of Su Yu in the group. Then in the next second, for some unknown reason, he saved the photo and put it in his mobile phone album.
Pei Dingshan looked at the picture on his phone and could almost imagine Su Yu's conflicted look after he returned to the room. After looking at the photo with amusement for a while, he finally put down his phone.
He usually gets very little sleep. Today, when he was looking at the photo of the 'silkworm' in his cell phone album, he suddenly felt that if he could fall asleep holding such a soft 'silkworm', he might not want to get up.
Thinking of this, he was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head, brushed away these messy thoughts, and started looking at the documents in the computer again - it was time to get to work.
***
Although Su Yu has a "holiday" today, the Olympic competitions are still going on as normal.
For example, in this morning's competition, there was a 110-meter hurdles semi-final which was quite important for the Chinese team.
China's 110m hurdler Yang Liu will compete in the third group of the semi-finals.
Many domestic track and field fans are looking forward to this game. After all, the 110-meter hurdles once created a glorious period for Chinese track and field.
However, no matter how glorious it was, it was only in the past. China's men's 110-meter hurdles event has not been able to achieve great success in recent years. Although Yang Liu successfully entered the semi-finals this time, his performance was not stable enough. He only ran 13.50 seconds in the semi-finals and ultimately missed the finals.
Although domestic track and field fans feel a little disappointed about this result, they can also understand it - for the track and field team, in most events, not making it to the finals is actually the norm. So the fact that the Chinese team has players making it to the finals in the three events in the men's sprint group this time can be called an 'epoch-making' and 'milestone' performance.
Although he failed to advance to the finals, Yang Liu still finished fifth in the group, which is a good performance.
Apart from Yang and Liu's 110m hurdles semi-finals, there are no other track and field events for the Chinese team this morning.
For the entire morning, Su Yu completely locked himself in his room. It was not until lunch time that his door was knocked open and someone stood beside his bed.
Pei Dingshan looked down and saw Su Yu still wrapped in the quilt, and smiled softly: "Silkworm, it's time for lunch."
Su · Silkworm · Island:! ! !
Su Yu was completely shocked. He fell asleep while curling up in the morning. He was a little dazed and did not expect that the person who came in was Pei Dingshan. After hearing Pei Dingshan's word "silkworm", the redness that had gone away with great difficulty in the morning now covered his face again.
Su Yu: “…Coach!”
Su Yu almost called out the word "coach" to Pei Dingshan in a somewhat 'frustrated' manner, but Pei Dingshan, who was usually very serious, smiled even more broadly after hearing him call him that.
Pei Dingshan still looked serious, but he rubbed his head and said, "Well, I heard you. If you have something to say, just say it nicely, don't act like a spoiled child."
Su Yu: “……!”
Su Yu pursed his lips. He didn't understand where he was acting coquettishly.
Perhaps seeing that Su Yu was about to get upset, Pei Dingshan smiled and finally stopped teasing him: "It's 11:30, get up and prepare for lunch."
It was only then that Su Yu realized that he had slept for so long.
Normally he didn't feel that he needed so much sleep, but the continuous long-term high-intensity schedule did put a certain burden on his body. Therefore, after he could rest, his sleep needs increased significantly.
Although it was not good to fall asleep right after breakfast in the morning, I have to say that after a whole morning of rest, Su Yu felt that he seemed to have more energy in his body.
In addition to energy, although Zheng Tianxi and Zhan Youming shared the pressure with him in this short period of time, Su Yu also felt that he had adapted well to the pressure. However, it was only after he relaxed that he suddenly felt the weight of the pressure.
Now that he had gotten up, he did feel as if all his fatigue had been relieved.
Pei Dingshan looked at Su Yu's appearance and knew that Su Yu was in good condition, so he smiled and rubbed Su Yu's head: "Okay, get up, wash up, and then go to lunch."
After a pause, he suddenly said, "But try not to wrap yourself in the quilt in the afternoon, otherwise it may affect your sleep at night."
Hearing Pei Dingshan's words, Su Yu nodded.
He didn't plan to sleep in the afternoon. Just like Pei Dingshan said, he slept too much during the day. If he couldn't sleep tonight, it would affect tomorrow's important schedule.
only……
The question of what to do in the afternoon once again troubled Su Yu.
When Su Yu was a little annoyed, Pei Dingshan looked at him and said, "If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, come and accompany me."
"Isn't it always like this during previous competitions?"
Su Yu:?
Su Yu looked up at Pei Dingshan in a daze. Although he felt it was a little strange, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
It was exactly as Pei Dingshan said. During the previous competitions outside, he and Pei Dingshan lived in the same room in the hotel, so when he had no game schedule, Pei Dingshan was the one who handled the team's information and work, and he was either studying or reading something casually on the side.
Thinking of this, Su Yu nodded and said "OK".
***
After lunch, Su Yu returned to his dormitory room again. There was an extra chair next to the only small table in the living room. He didn't know when it appeared.
Su Yu guessed that it should be what Pei Dingshan prepared for him.
So in the afternoon, Pei Dingshan dealt with work at the table, while Su Yu sat on a chair next to him with his legs curled up, with an original English book on sports performance and scientific training given to him by Pei Dingshan on his knees, and read it silently.
The living room is a public open space. People will occasionally pass by, and after seeing Su Yu reading a book and Pei Dingshan busy working in the living room, they will lower their footsteps so as not to disturb the two people in the living room.
The early August sun shone into the living room through the window. Su Yu looked at the original materials in his hands, and occasionally turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
This is a rare moment of leisure in the busy Olympic schedule.
***
In addition to reading in the living room in the afternoon, Su Yu later took time to go to the gym for a short period of maintenance training to slightly activate his condition. At the same time, he also confirmed that after today's relaxation and adjustment, his condition was indeed better.
It was not until the evening, after dinner, around 7:30, that Zhan Youming followed the second group of Chinese team members and took the shuttle bus to the Tokyo Olympic Stadium.
This was the first time in so many days that Su Yu did not go to the scene.
The reason why I don’t go to watch the game in person is because the atmosphere on site can easily ignite emotions, whether it is the emotions of the players on the field or the emotions of the audience in the stands.
As an athlete who still has competitions to play, if Su Yu goes to watch the games on site, it will consume some meaningless emotions and state, so even if he does not have a game, he is not allowed to go to watch the game on site.
Of course, Su Yu also knew the reasons for this, so he was not obsessed with whether to go to the scene to watch the game. He would rather maintain his condition before the game starts.
Similar to him, as the 4*100m relay preliminaries approached tomorrow morning, Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and others did not go to watch the game in person. Except for Zhan Youming, everyone else in their dormitory stayed in the dormitory.
They have already agreed to borrow Pei Dingshan's laptop computer from work in the living room to watch the live broadcast of the men's 200-meter sprint final together tonight.
Around 9 o'clock in the evening, everyone had already arrived in the living room. Pei Dingshan went to the scene as a coach. In the dormitory, Su Yu, who had been authorized by Pei Dingshan, opened the notebooks for everyone and directly switched to the live broadcast room of Jigu Video.
The people in the dormitory are all top players in the country. Although they usually watch the games, they rarely watch the live broadcasts. Now, listening to the commentary of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the live broadcast room, they find this perspective very interesting.
Among the few people, Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming have been abroad for many years and rarely watch live broadcasts of domestic events. After watching for a while, Feng Chuming asked in surprise: "This Jigu video also has a Japanese commentary channel?"
Gao Yansong knew this more clearly: "Yes, in fact, this matter was caused by Su Yu in the first place."
"Su Yu broke the world U18 100m best record originally held by Japan, which later attracted many Japanese netizens to follow our domestic events. Jigu Video took advantage of the opportunity to launch Japanese commentary, which was actually a real-time online translation of the commentary by teachers Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming."
"It seems that everyone originally thought that this commentary would not last long, but it has actually been maintained until now - in the past two years, Jigu Video has accumulated a lot of loyal Japanese track and field enthusiasts."
Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming didn't know about this and were surprised after hearing Gao Yansong's explanation.
But think about it, when Su Yu was competing two days ago, the craziness of the Japanese audience at the scene... Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming seemed to be able to understand it a little bit.
But they really couldn't understand why Su Yu was so popular in Japan.
Probably to supplement and corroborate what Gao Yansong said, Zhou Yuang was reading from his cell phone: "A new ruler from the Eastern Kingdom, the Eye of the Empire, a mysterious demon king, a powerful man with peerless beauty..."
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu silently covered Zhou Yuang's mouth expressionlessly.
Zheng Tianxi and the others nearby asked in shock: "...What are these?!"
"Mm, mmm..." Zhou Yuang struggled for a long time before escaping from Su Yu's 'claws', and then said: "These are the nicknames that the Japanese gave to Su Xiaoyu!"
Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming: "..."
Although they guessed it, it was still a little beyond their understanding as such straight men.
Although they couldn't understand it, Feng Chuming and Zheng Tianxi both thought it was a good signal.
Because in the circle of competitive sports, only if you are strong enough will you be noticed by your opponents and the audience.
In their opinion, the reason why Japanese audiences gave Su Yu so many nicknames is because these Japanese audiences and media felt the threat of Su Yu, which led to all the subsequent events.
In the living room of the dormitory, Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming, Gao Yansong, Su Yu and Zhou Yuang, although the athletes are of different ages, are all teammates in the track and field team and the relay team. After a period of training, the relationship between them has become very harmonious.
Now they gathered together to cheer for another teammate who was about to take the stage.
The time waiting for the game to start seems very slow, but when the game is about to start, the wait seems to be just a blink of an eye.
At 9:55 in the evening, the men's 200-meter sprint final was about to officially begin.
Just like the previous men's 100m sprint final, in the men's 200m sprint final, the athletes also appeared one by one in the cool final exclusive appearance channel. Each athlete's appearance was accompanied by his personal event clips and his personal results.
Just like when Zhan Youming came on stage, his introduction was - his personal best in history is 19.82 seconds, the first yellow man to run under 20 seconds, and the current holder of the Asian record!
A series of titles were introduced by the Japanese commentator in an impassioned tone, which gave off an inexplicable passion and a middle school-like aura.
Zhou Yuang and Gao Yansong were both deeply moved after seeing Zhan Youming's results.
“I don’t know when I can achieve the same result as Brother Youming!”
Zhou Yuang stared at the result of 19.82 seconds and thought it was extremely cool.
As he spoke, he started discussing with Su Yu next to him: "Su Xiaoyu, do you think that if Brother Youming can maintain his performance in the semi-finals last night, will he have a chance to win a medal tonight?"
Su Yu looked at the situation on the field and frowned: "...It might be difficult."
Zhou Yuang was somewhat shocked: "If I can maintain the performance from last night's semi-finals, I will be close to 19.80 seconds. Is there no chance of winning a medal?"
Su Yu looked at the list of players who were entering the arena one after another and said, "...I think that the 200m champion tonight might be an upset like the 100m final."
"Upset?"
"Yes." Su Yu nodded and said, "I have followed the performance curve of Lukanus Branin from the Canadian team. He is in very good shape this season. It is probably no accident that he broke the Canadian 200-meter record last night. He may hit a higher record tonight."
"If this is the case, the conditions of several players on the US team should also be directly boosted."
"Plus, this is the Olympic final, and the athletes are in great shape, so I think that to win a medal tonight, we need to be able to run under 19.80 seconds at least."
"If Youming can only perform like he did in the semi-finals last night, his chances of winning a medal are slim."
The game hadn't even started yet, and no one in the living room had expected that Su Yu would start the game with a big prediction.
Su Yu took another look at the situation on the field and calmly pointed out: "This men's 200-meter sprint final is the one where the American team has the greatest advantage. It looks like there are only three American players on the field, but in fact, including Damarcus, there are four in total."
"With the three American players here, DaMarcus should also have a big explosion."
"And the other three players on the American team will not want to lose to DaMarcus, especially Bryce Singleton who lost once in the semifinals yesterday."
"It will be a very difficult match, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, nothing more than that."
Everyone present was a professional athlete. Even though Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming were not experts in the 200-meter sprint, they could still understand the treacherous situation on the field at the moment.
Everyone originally thought that Zhan Youming had successfully made it to the finals yesterday and had achieved a good result of 19.82 seconds. However, now looking at the unpredictable situation on the field, it is difficult to say what ranking Zhan Youming will get in the end.
But at the same time, everyone clearly knows that if Zhan Youming can stick to his form and performance in today's game and successfully keep up with the rhythm of these opponents, then no matter what his final ranking is, the Chinese team should be able to set a new record...
In short, look forward to it!
***
At this moment, Zhan Youming was listening to the roar of the audience, feeling the tension among his opponents, and his heart was beating wildly.
This is what it feels like to be on the stage of the Olympic finals, right?
In his heart, there was a boiling power that seemed to be constantly burning, making him feel that he was about to explode at any time and anywhere, and he was trying hard to suppress this crazy feeling of explosion, waiting for the cool light show in front of him to end, waiting for the live competition to begin... and then completely let out this difficult-to-suppress state and emotion in his body!
Zhan Youming kept opening and closing his palms and clenching his fists.
Around him, he could feel that these opponents seemed calm and composed, but each of them had muscles knotted and felt so tense that it seemed as if endless power was about to burst out from their bodies in the next moment.
Everyone.
Everyone is waiting for his or her final moment of release and burst!
Finally, the light show ended, and the Japanese commentator loudly introduced each player on the field and officially announced:
“The game is about to begin!!”
In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had also become nervous at this time. They both had excellent vision and they also made a part of the introduction of Su Yu's previous "prediction", so that the audience in front of the TV could feel the difficult situation that China's team's Zhan Youming was facing at this moment.
But at the same time, everyone can see that Zhan Youming on the court is obviously eager to try - he is eager to reach the peak of his career.
Doesn't he know how strong his opponent is in this game?
This is impossible.
But no matter how powerful the opponent was, Zhan Youming had no intention of giving up.
In other words, for him, the stronger the opponent in this game, the more excited he will be.
bring it on!
This may be the most glorious battle in his career!
With such belief, Zhan Youming squatted in his lane at the command of "take your positions" from the official starter.
His final lane tonight is lane six, which is the golden lane among the middle four lanes. In front of him on the right, in lane seven, is Lukanus Branin of the Canadian team. Behind him on the left are Carson Stokes in lane five and Gavin Kovalchuk in lane four.
Meanwhile, in lane 3 and lane 8 were American Bryce Singleton and Liberian Damarcus Collins respectively.
In the second and ninth lanes were the last contestant of the American team, Daniel Patterson, and Wasim Farina of the Jamaican team.
Although everything has not started yet, the audience has already started to keep quiet under the guidance of the official commentator, and at this moment, only the contestants of the men's 200-meter sprint final are still on the huge stadium.
In such a competition, even the breathing sound from the audience is enough to cause the players to feel emotionally tense - everyone knows it at this moment.
Here we come!
The final battle of the men's 200m sprint at the Tokyo Olympics is coming!
After the official starter on the scene confirmed that every runner had squatted on their respective starting blocks and was ready, a new command sounded from the starter's mouth:
"preparation!"
On the field, eight athletes simultaneously and quickly lifted their buttocks with their hands on the ground, and each of them stared intently at the track in front of them.
It's coming!
The final sprint!
When everyone quickly got into their ready positions, in just a moment, a crisp 'bang' of the starting gun was heard in the air - the game began! !
“The game begins!”
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were both quickly introducing the situation on the field. In the dormitory of the Olympic Village, Su Yu and others who were watching the game together were listening to Tian Ruhui and others' commentary while also concentrating on watching the situation on the field.
The feeling of watching the live broadcast on TV is different from that of watching the game in person.
When watching a game live, you can follow any player you want with your own eyes, but when watching a live game, you can only follow the specific developments of the game through the screen switching of the live director.
The directors' attention was clearly focused on the most advantageous players.
Just like the Canadian athlete Lucanus Branin on the field at this moment - just as Su Yu mentioned in the "big prediction" before the game, this famous athlete from Canada, he broke the Canadian national record in the semi-finals and it seems that he is not satisfied yet. In tonight's final, his explosive power and starting acceleration performance seem to be even more radical and faster than his performance in the semi-finals the night before!
"Damn! What a fast speed!"
Zhou Yuang was so frightened when he saw Lucanus on the field.
From the moment he burst out at the start, Lucanus seemed to be far ahead of his opponents behind him.
Let’s not talk about Zhan Youming. In fact, Zhan Youming’s starting explosive performance in this game was also remarkable. However, under Lukanus’ abnormal starting explosive acceleration performance, Zhan Youming had already been left behind by Lukanus in almost the first three steps.
If the distance between Lucanus and Zhan Youming was not too obvious, then Lucas quickly narrowed the distance with Damarcus in the eighth lane during the starting phase!
This reduction in distance is very obvious.
In fact, there was no problem with the performance of both Zhan Youming and Damarcus in the starting phase. The main reason for this effect was that Lucanus in the seventh lane was so fierce!
"A very proactive burst and sprint! Lucanus started to wreak havoc on the track like a ferocious beast - his burst was very powerful, and this power was accompanied by an unstoppable momentum!"
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also shocked by Lucanus' performance.
At the same time, Carson Stokes and Bryce Singleton in the fifth and third lanes also burst out with their strongest strength and sprinted forward with all their strength.
In the early curve stage of this race, you can't even seem to see the impact of the curve on these top 200-meter athletes. Everyone quickly enters the acceleration stage from the start.
For sprinters, they are usually unable to exert their full speed capabilities when running on a curve, because in addition to speed, you also need to control your body to resist the centrifugal force on the curved curve.
This kind of force that requires distraction to fight while maintaining high speed is the culprit that affects the athletes' full sprint in the corners.
If a player does not have good enough cornering ability, then no matter how good his personal speed is, he may not be able to perform perfectly because of the influence of the curve.
But at this moment, in the Olympic 200m final, whether it is Lucanus from Canada, Carson Stokes from the United States, or Zhan Youming from the Chinese team...
From their performance on the track, you can't tell at all how these turns affect them. Their speed explodes faster and faster in the turns. Every arm swing, every hip thrust, and every step they take is flawless...!
At this moment, everyone on the field is using all their speed, strength and control to strive for the most perfect speed for themselves!
Zhan Youming on the field was completely immersed in the sprint of this game from the moment he started running. Every breath he took seemed to be burning the excitement and blood in his body. Every swing of his arms and every step of his foot were filled with unprecedented power!
He could feel that every one of his opponents at the scene was incredibly powerful, but he still had plenty of fighting spirit.
He wants faster, faster!
He could see that Lucanus in front of him on the right seemed to have burst out with an even faster speed than in the semi-finals!
At this moment, Zhan Youming on the court quickly grasped the only inspiration in his mind and began to closely follow the rhythm of Lucanus in the front.
Follow him!
Follow him!
"Zhan Youming is biting Lucanus's rhythm!! That's it! Xiao Zhan, hold on!!!"
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui's voice was also full of excitement and nervousness at this moment. He and Zhou Jiming could see that this game was full of crisis for Zhan Youming, and around him, the players of the American team were watching covetously.
In this arena where almost half of the players are from the American team, it is actually more difficult for Zhan Youming to break through the siege and strive for the best result than many people imagined. However, Zhan Youming seized the only chance on the field at this moment - Lukanus Branin from Canada.
This athlete, who had just broken the Canadian national record with a time of 19.72 seconds in the semi-finals, once again showed his powerful speed, rhythm and ambition in the final.
if……
If Zhan Youming could successfully catch up with Lucanus' rhythm at this moment and follow his rhythm all the way forward...!
"There is hope!! Hang in there!!"
After switching from the curve to the straight stage, the situation on the field became clear almost instantly. As everyone could see, Lukanus Branin from Canada in the seventh lane had already taken an absolute leading position, and Carson Stokes in the fifth lane had also surpassed other opponents and came to the second position on the field!
Carson Stokes was clearly trying his best to sprint and pass Lukanus in lane seven.
At the same time, Zhan Youming from the Chinese team in the sixth lane successfully caught up with Lucanus' rhythm. In the last 60 meters of the straight track, there was only a gap of less than half a body length between him and Bryce Singleton of the American team and Damarcus Collins in the eighth lane!
“The third one!!”
"Zhan Youming is still in third place for now! Hold on!!!"
On the court, Zhan Youming didn’t know what place he was in, he only knew that he was running like crazy!
Sprint! Sprint! Sprint! !
Sprint towards the finish line in front!
He could see Lucanus and his old rival Carson Stokes ahead of him, and he could also feel that there were other competitors sprinting alongside him...
He had no extra energy or opportunity to pay attention to his opponent.
He didn't know what position he would be able to reach after trying his best...
but……
Who cares! Just go for it! ! !
In the last 30 meters, the distance between Zhan Youming and Bryce and Damarcus was getting closer and closer!
These two players from the American team also showed extremely strong and fierce power in the final sprint!
No one can give up the sprint at this last moment, and no one can give up any glimmer of hope at this final stage...!
"Charge! Zhan Youming, charge!"
"China team, charge!!!"
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's voices had become hoarse at this moment, and in the Olympic Village dormitory, Su Yu and others were also staring intently at the stadium in front of them!
The last 20 meters!
10 meters! !
Cross the finish line! ! !
It was as if the scene from the second group of the semi-finals was replayed. At the final finish line, Zhan Youming, Bryce and Damarcus crossed the finish line almost at the same time!
The Chinese audience at the scene burst into amazing cheers, but at the same time everyone was anxiously asking - did they win? Did you win a medal? !
In the end, when Zhan Youming and the other two crossed the finish line, the distance between them was so close that even the spectators on the scene could not tell the difference.
In the dormitory of the Olympic Village, Zhou Yuang also howled: "Ah! Did we win? Did Brother Youming win? I can't see clearly!"
While Zhou Yuang was howling like a ghost, Su Yu beside him had his eyes sparkling. He said with a faint smile, "We won!"
