Chapter 55
Tuesday, April 10, 2018.
Unlike the previous S City race which was scheduled during the National Day Golden Week, since April 10 to 12 were all working days, even though this G Province Z City race was the first indoor-to-outdoor event in the country this season, there were still only a few track and field fans who were able to come to Z City to watch the game.
At least it is difficult for students like those from S City No. 12 Middle School to find time at this time to travel to Z City to cheer for their academic geniuses and top students.
But it doesn't matter. As the 'student representative' of No. 12 Middle School, Wang Yangming came all the way to City Z carrying a backpack full of banners and banners - all the banners in his bag were prepared by the students of Class 1, Grade 2 of No. 12 Middle School, so that he could distribute them to the track and field fans nearby and let everyone cheer for Su Yu and Jiang Yuan together.
Wang Yangming:?
Wang Yangming never expected that he would have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
But he was young and ignorant at the time, and he sold his brain and kidneys, so he had to do this kind of work like the logistics of the Su Yu and Jiang Yuan Fan Club.
Sui Pengfei was also holding a bunch of Su Yu's banners in his hands at the moment, and he complained to Wang Yangming: "If you really don't like it, then don't take this job. Can your brothers really force it on you? I think you're quite enthusiastic about posting them!"
Sui Pengfei was the track and field fan who sat next to Wang Yangming and watched him fall step by step in the gambling and finally lost his head and kidneys. Coincidentally, this guy was a freelance landlord. His personal hobby was to collect rent and watch competitions all over the country. He and Wang Yangming hit it off at first sight. This time, they asked each other and both planned to watch the game, so they bought tickets together.
Wang Yangming was still saying "It's not me, I didn't do that, don't talk nonsense", while he was handing out a bunch of banners to the track and field fans who were watching the game nearby.
They are now in the morning session of April 10th. The first event in the morning is the men's decathlon 100m race which starts at 8:30. It is not yet 8:15 now. Apart from the staff, the only people who would come to watch the competition so early on a weekday are veteran track and field fans.
Seeing Wang Yangming handing out banners, some people took them and some did not. Some people first took a look and found that they were from Jiang Yuan and Su Yu, and then took them.
"Hey, buddy, are you a fan of Jiang Yuan and Su Yu?"
It just so happened that there was still a little while before the official competition, and there were not many people in the audience. These track and field fans started chatting with the help of the banner distributed by Wang Yangming. Among these senior track and field fans who were able to attend the event, there was no one who didn’t know the names of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan.
Wang Yangming couldn't say that he lost the bet, so he said seriously that he had set up a fan club for Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, with himself as the president and Sui Pengfei as the vice president.
Sui Pengfei: “…”
"That's great. I'm also optimistic about Su Yu and Jiang Yuan. Is there a group? Invite me?"
Wang Yangming: “…”
Finally, Wang Yangming created a Su Yu and Jiang Yuan fan club group on the spot, and pulled in some of the track and field fans present as well as himself, Sui Pengfei, Zhong Wen, and the students from Class 1, Grade 2 of No. 12 Middle School whom he had met last time into the group, so that when the group list was opened, there were dozens of people on it.
"Wow, there are quite a lot of people here! No wonder you were able to become the president, you have pretty good organizational skills, right?"
Sui Pengfei laughed at the side: "That's right, our president said that he will not miss any of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan's matches in the future, and anyone who can afford a ticket will go to watch it in person, so everyone supports him to be the president."
Wang Yangming: “…”
After the track and field fans present expressed their admiration, since they were all track and field fans following Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, some people mentioned the men's 100m and high jump preliminaries that were about to begin.
"Does anyone remember the morning schedule?"
"I remember, I remember, at 8:30 it was the 100m of the decathlon, at 8:39 it was the women's 100m, there were 7 groups in total, at 9:00 the men's 100m preliminaries, and the men's high jump finals also started at 9:00."
"?"
"Is the high jump going straight to the finals today?"
"Well, there aren't many people who signed up for the high jump this time. There are probably only about 18 or 19 people in total. So we won't bother with the qualifying round and the finals. We'll have trial jumps at the first three heights, and after that, the top 8 will advance to the finals and continue on the spot. The main reason is that several members of the national team have gone abroad to compete. Right now, it seems that Jiang Yuan is probably the strongest person on the scene."
Although this may sound incredible at first, Jiang Yuan's jump of 2.28 meters last season was enough to put him in the top four of the season. In this competition, Sun Yuhang and Zhang Xujian have both gone abroad to compete, and even Zeng Shaowen, whose form is not stable, has been sent out by the national team - in Pei Yongsheng's words, to test the waters, learn a little and take a look.
It is useless to judge whether a player’s condition is stable or not just by looking at domestic competitions.
Zeng Shaowen is currently the best performer among the players of the same age after the generation of Sun Yuhang and Zhang Xujian. Since the national team intends to recruit him, he should be given a chance to try out international competitions and accumulate more experience, so as to avoid a decline in level due to lack of international competition experience when he really needs to perform well in major competitions.
After excluding these players from the national team, even though Sun Yuhang was able to set a NU16B record of 2.26 meters ten years ago, and Jiang Yuan's high jump also seems to have an astonishing number at every turn, in fact, a large number of middle and upper-level players in the country have their results stuck outside the 2.20-meter threshold.
So what the big brother who spoke earlier said was right. Looking at today's competition, Jiang Yuan is already the strongest among them.
During this period, some people mentioned Su Yu's concurrent projects and asked Wang Yangming, as the chairman of the fan club, if he had any inside information?
Wang Yangming: “…”
He has an inside scoop on this.
However, the track and field fans present did not have the same strong atmosphere of worry as those on the forum, mainly because the specific schedule of the event has been released. According to the three-day schedule, the men's 100m preliminaries and finals are today at 9:00 a.m. and 9:05 p.m. respectively. The men's 200m preliminaries are scheduled for April 11, the evening of the second competition day, and the finals are on the morning of the third competition day.
Regardless of whether Su Yu has a chance to enter the finals in the 200m, this schedule is very friendly to multi-event athletes anyway.
The controversy and discussion on the forum that day died down after the official schedule was released. Many track and field fans believed that the people from the S Province Sports Team should have known that the official schedule would be more relaxed, so they signed Su Yu up for a dual event to experience the atmosphere.
Regardless of whether this statement is true or false, the vast majority of track and field fans feel that such an arrangement will not affect Su Yu's 100-meter performance, so they stopped making a fuss.
What about the 'forest side'?
There are track and field fans who are calling him right now while chatting.
"That Fang Linsen was also on the S Province Track and Field Team, right? The people who selected the players for the S Province Track and Field Team made a mistake. Where did this idiot come from?"
As everyone was chatting and laughing, the time quickly approached 8:30. After the track and field fans saw the 100m runners of the decathlon take the field for the first race, everyone found their own seats and sat down, no longer gathering together to chat.
Soon, at 8:30, the men's decathlon athletes arrived at the 100-meter race first. A total of two groups of athletes completed their 100-meter events first.
Compared with athletes who specialize in a single event, decathlon athletes are not as good as specialized athletes in individual abilities, and they also need to consider the distribution of physical energy in each individual event, so the level of excitement in the individual event competition will appear slightly less.
In two consecutive groups of decathletes, the best result in the 100m was 11.24 seconds, and the results of the rest of the athletes were all within the 11-second range, which can be considered quite even.
After the two groups of men's 100m decathlon, there were seven groups of women's 100m preliminaries, with a total of 62 athletes, filling the track to the brim. In the end, only eight athletes were selected to advance to the finals.
Although the two leading female sprinters of the national team have gone abroad to compete, the U20 young players who were called up by the national team during the winter training period also came to today's competition. At present, the overall performance is quite good.
After all seven groups of women finished their competitions, the enthusiasm of the audience was further ignited as the men's 100-meter and men's high jump athletes appeared on stage.
The reason is simple. After all, with the appearance of the athletes in these two individual events, the two most popular young athletes among all the athletes this morning also appeared on the stage at the same time.
Regardless of whether these track and field fans present are fans of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, after half a year, these spectators really want to know whether Su Yu and Jiang Yuan can continue to maintain their amazing performance in the new season.
***
"How's it going? Are you nervous?"
The person asking the questions was Lin Jingwu, a veteran of the S Province Sports Team. He also coached Su Yu and Jiang Yuan in the last S Province race.
This time Su Yu and Jiang Yuan came back to participate in the Grand Prix. Although they set off directly from City B, their trip was funded by the S Province Sports Team. After arriving in City Z, the S Province Sports Team was responsible for arranging unified food and accommodation for them.
As a veteran, Lin Jingwu is not young anymore. His best result so far is just the national standard. But he is a good person and has good popularity in the S Province Sports Team. This time, Wang Changan also specifically asked him to take care of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan.
The men's 100m preliminaries were about to begin. Lin Jingwu's group was relatively high. He had already finished warming up and came back to take care of Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded, his face calm: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Lin Jingwu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's fine as long as you're fine. Then Xiaoyu, do your best in the preliminaries later. I'll go here first."
Shortly after watching Lin Jingwu leave, Su Yu, at the reminder of the staff, went to the warm-up venue specially prepared by the organizer for the sprinters to start warming up.
This time, when Su Yu arrived at the warm-up venue, many people noticed his arrival.
Compared with the last time he was an unknown in the S City sub-race, after participating in the S City sub-race and being called up to the national team for winter training, Su Yu's popularity among ordinary players has already soared.
Seeing him arrive, many contestants looked wary.
After all, judging from Su Yu's results and performance last season, as long as he maintains his previous level, although he may not be able to get a good ranking in the finals, it will not be too difficult for him to enter the finals.
***
At the same time, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also started their live broadcast work as usual.
"Good morning, dear audience friends. There are two competitions currently being held simultaneously on the field, namely the men's high jump preliminaries and finals, and the men's 100-meter preliminaries."
This is what Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming have to repeat to the audience every few minutes, reminding viewers who have just entered the live broadcast room which events are currently being played.
At this moment, the men's 100m preliminaries have reached the 7th group, and there are 6 groups of athletes waiting to go on stage. Compared with the women's group, the total number of 123 people in the men's 100m preliminaries seems to be a lot, but in fact it is more than 20 people less than the number of registrations for the same period last season.
This is mainly because each participating team has a large number of elite players, and each team has slightly limited the number of new players who can register for this Grand Prix race.
To put it simply, it is mainly because these Grand Prix this season have a bit of the flavor of "Asian Games trials special", and the provincial teams were a little more cautious when registering. Therefore, the overall quality of the men's 100m runners in this station is slightly higher than last season.
And this "higher overall quality" is also reflected in the current performance level of the preliminaries. Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are also discussing this topic at the moment.
“Although today’s Grand Prix is the first match of the season’s indoor-outdoor tournament, it can be seen that the players are in very positive condition!”
"Yes." Zhou Jiming glanced at the current rankings and said with a smile, "Among the seven preliminary groups that have ended, the first place is Chen Peijie from the F Province team. His preliminary result is 10.38 seconds, making him the only player in this event who has run under 10.40 seconds in the preliminary stage so far."
Tian Ruhui also nodded: "It can be seen that Chen Peijie is in good shape today. It is relatively stable and easy to run under 10.40. At the same time, his two teammates Gao Tianwu and Yu Shaojie from the national team 4*100m relay team also ran 10.43 and 10.46 respectively, and are currently firmly in the top three."
"It can be seen that after five months of winter training, this group of national team players are in excellent condition, including Zhao Yingping, who was also called up to the national team for winter training. He also ran 10.51 seconds in the preliminaries just now and looks in good shape. Zhao Yingping's current preliminaries result ranks fourth in the overall ranking."
In fact, you should know it just by looking at the series of results above.
At the S City race in October of last season, Su Yu was able to qualify for the relatively mid-level finals with a time of 10.62 seconds. However, if it were to be put at this Z City race, with the preliminaries just halfway through, 10.62 seconds would only rank him seventh in the field.
There are still 6 groups with a total of 52 players who have not yet taken the stage, and the results of the top eight players in the front row will definitely be tested again.
At least, in this race, it would be impossible to successfully advance to the finals with a score of 10.62.
***
Sui Pengfei and Wang Yangming were sitting together in the audience, chatting about the current situation on the field.
"Today's 100-meter preliminaries were not easy."
Sui Pengfei was a little worried.
Although the title of vice president of the Jiang Yuan and Su Yu Fan Club has a bit of a joking meaning, Sui Pengfei, who had seen Su Yu's performance in the S City race before, really likes this kid. He looks like white porcelain, but his strength is completely beyond the audience's expectations.
Aren’t these the kind of strong players that audiences who watch competitive sports like?
But despite his strength, Su Yu still has too few competitions. Although there are rumors on the Track and Field Kingdom Forum that Su Yu ran the 100m in 10.35 seconds during the winter training, that was not a public event after all. So far, the highest official result of Su Yu that has been made public is 10.39 seconds in the test on the first day of winter training, but tests and competitions are not quite the same.
Looking at the current preliminary ranking list, Sui Pengfei still feels uneasy.
But Wang Yangming next to him was much more calm than him: "Don't worry, I think Su Yu will be fine."
Sui Pengfei saw him like this and asked him, "How do you know there is no problem?"
Wang Yangming looked at him dimly: "Of course, I will use my severed head and kidneys..."
Sui Pengfei: “…Puff.”
While chatting, the competition had already entered the 9th group of preliminaries. After the players of this group came on stage, there was a small commotion in the audience. The reason was simple - in this group, Feng Xiaofeng and Ye Minghao, the top 1 players of the previous and next generations from Province G, came on stage at the same time.
Z City is the home city of the G Province team. Many track and field fans who came to watch the game were already paying close attention to Feng Xiaofeng and Ye Minghao. After all, they were both young athletes who had won glory for G Province. Although Feng Xiaofeng's performance was not good last season, there were still many of his local supporters at the scene.
Of course, there are also many people who support Ye Minghao.
After the two came on stage, there was actually a small burst of cheers and encouragement from the audience.
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, as famous domestic track and field commentators, naturally have their own news channels. Of course, they also know that Feng Xiaofeng's performance in the winter training period was quite good, and he had every chance to break the U20 World Youth Championship 100m qualifying line of 10.58 seconds.
Tian Ruhui and his friend looked at the enthusiastic audience and said with a smile, "It seems that the next group of preliminaries will be a local battle for the G Province team."
The main reason is that in this group, the other players are indeed mediocre and there is not much to talk about.
After the players on the field completed the adjustment of the starting blocks in their respective lanes, the referee quickly gave the order to 'get ready'. There were a total of 9 players on the field. Ye Minghao and Feng Xiaofeng happened to be in the fourth and fifth lanes respectively. The two were in adjacent lanes, had similar strengths and ages, and were on the same team - with these arrangements and combinations, the smell of gunpowder between the two was overwhelming on the spot.
After the runners squatted on their respective starting blocks, the referee quickly gave a new instruction: "Ready."
Then, as all the players at the scene waited with bated breath, just half a breath later, a "bang" of the starting gun was heard, and the ninth group of the men's 100m preliminaries officially began!
At this time, Su Yu was standing in the contestants' waiting passage.
Two live TV screens were installed in the waiting passage of the Z City Stadium, broadcasting live scenes of different events on the field.
On the two screens in the passage, the left screen showed the men's high jump preliminaries, and the right screen showed the men's 100m ninth group preliminaries which had just begun.
In the picture on the left, the men's high jump has finally reached the third trial jump in the preliminaries. The trial jump height has exceeded 1.95 meters from the initial 1.90 meters, and now has reached the horizontal bar height of 2.00 meters.
As for the men's high jump, apart from the athletes who have been eliminated due to consecutive failed attempts, the only athlete who has not yet achieved a result is Jiang Yuan, who has been sitting still the whole time. Finally, after the height of the horizontal bar rose to 2.00 meters, Jiang Yuan stood up and began to warm up.
But Su Yu guessed that if the third jump would not determine the athlete's qualification for the finals, Jiang Yuan might not stand up at this moment.
On the left screen, Jiang Yuan had just stood up to warm up, while the ninth group of matches on the right screen had already begun.
After a whole winter training period, Su Yu has become very familiar with Ye Minghao and Feng Xiaofeng. From his point of view, between Ye Minghao and Feng Xiaofeng, Ye Minghao has better talent and ability. Although Feng Xiaofeng may not be better than Ye Minghao in terms of talent, Feng Xiaofeng has experienced a trough throughout the 2017 season, but he is still able to be confident and determined in himself.
From this perspective, with sufficient talent and a firm personal will, Feng Xiaofeng's future development will definitely not be too bad.
As for the preliminary round in front of him - after a whole season of silence, Feng Xiaofeng obviously wants to better prove his strength in this Z City race.
It can be seen that it is probably because of this mentality that Feng Xiaofeng's competitive state in this preliminary round was very high. With the blessing of this high competitive state, Feng Xiaofeng's performance in this game was remarkable from the beginning, including his starting reaction and acceleration in the starting stage.
Ye Minghao's performance was actually quite good, but under the suppression of Feng Xiaofeng who was in great form, he seemed a little passive.
When Feng Xiaofeng and Ye Minghao finally crossed the line, although the results had not yet come out, Feng Xiaofeng had already waved his fist towards the audience to express his excitement - today's preliminary match should be his best performance since the previous season.
After he vented his excitement, Ye Minghao, who crossed the finish line in second place, smiled and gave him a hug, congratulating him on his outstanding performance in this preliminary round.
After the two hugged, the final results of the 9th group of the on-site preliminaries were announced. Feng Xiaofeng was undoubtedly the first place winner in this group of preliminaries. With a score of 10.50, he directly broke Feng Xiaofeng's PB, and made Feng Xiaofeng the third player in the U20 age group to meet the men's 100m standards at the World Youth Championships after Su Yu and Ye Minghao.
In fact, Ye Minghao's performance in this group was also quite good, with a score of 10.57 seconds, which was also within 10.60 seconds.
The results achieved by these two young players from the G Province Sports Team caused changes to appear on the electronic screen showing the overall ranking of the preliminaries.
Feng Xiaofeng jumped to fourth place in the overall ranking with a score of 10.50, Zhao Yingping was squeezed to fifth place, and Ye Minghao temporarily fell to seventh place in the overall ranking with a score of 10.57, which seemed a little precarious.
With the arrival of these two people, there are no longer any results starting with 10.60 seconds in the overall ranking list, and the top eight players have all run within the 10.60 second range.
This is a very rare situation in previous National Track and Field Grand Prix races.
At this stage, the pressure suddenly fell on the contestants in the last four groups - it all depends on whether the contestants in these four groups have the ability to get a few more places on the final qualifying list.
***
When Su Yu came on stage, many audience members were also talking about the topic between Feng Xiaofeng and Ye Minghao in the previous group. After all, there are many local audiences in Province G, so they will of course pay more attention to their local players. Many people were discussing that Feng Xiaofeng finally came out again.
Feng Xiaofeng's performance last season disappointed many track and field fans, but this season Feng Xiaofeng finally had a big breakthrough in the first preliminaries.
Although the result of 10.50 seconds may not seem so impressive, it would have been among the top 20 of the season if it were compared with last season. This time, Feng Xiaofeng achieved this result in the first game of the season. According to the athlete selection criteria for the championship later, he may have a chance to advance to the subsequent championship stage.
Some track and field fans who followed the World Youth Championships discussed the possibility of the World Youth Championship roster - is there a possibility that the two places in the men's 100 meters in this season's World Youth Championships will fall to these two athletes from the G Province Sports Team?
…
Of course, while some people were discussing Ye Minghao and Feng Xiaofeng, some people also noticed Su Yu's appearance, especially the small group of track and field fans holding banners in their hands. After seeing Su Yu come on the court, they waved their banners enthusiastically and cheered for Su Yu loudly.
After Su Yu looked up and saw the banners in the audience and even a banner hanging on the guardrail that read "Come on, Jiang Yuan, Su Yu, reach new heights", he was subtlely silent for two seconds. He only felt his ears getting slightly hot. Then he pretended not to see it and began to lower his head to organize his equipment.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a noisy sound from the audience above the high jump field not far away. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Yuan already standing at the starting line of the run-up area - Jiang Yuan, who had applied for exemption from jumps for two consecutive heights in the preliminaries, was finally going to have his first trial jump.
Although the audience felt that Jiang Yuan's strength was among the best among the players on the field, they were also worried that Jiang Yuan might be too conceited.
Of course, after Jiang Yuan started his run-up and jump, the audience watched Jiang Yuan's series of smooth run-ups and jumps over the pole, and the thought before the game about "Is he too conceited" was smoothly transformed into the thought that "This Jiang Yuan is indeed full of confidence."
This is what is called strength shapes character.
When a player has enough strength, some of his performances will be interpreted as personality, but when his strength is insufficient, his original personality may be interpreted as something else.
But it is obvious that at this moment, Jiang Yuan is using his own talent and strength again and again to make the track and field fans present and watching the live broadcast accept his personality and performance.
***
In the audience, when Jiang Yuan jumped over the bar easily, Wang Yangming and Sui Pengfei couldn't help but jump up excitedly - wow, this Jiang Yuan is really awesome!
There were also many audience members who had supported Jiang Yuan before. After seeing Jiang Yuan's performance, they all cheered together. There were even some small slogans such as "Jiang Yuan Jiang Yuan, the strength is unparalleled" heard at the scene.
On the field, many of the athletes who originally thought that Jiang Yuan might not be in such a good condition when he was sitting still, felt what it meant to be crushed by absolute strength after seeing Jiang Yuan easily jump over the bar at a height of 2 meters.
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming of course also saw Jiang Yuan's jumping performance. After seeing the director specially cut over to the performance of Jiang Yuan's jumping, the two veteran commentators couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Although Jiang Yuan has participated in fewer games from last season to this season, his condition and mentality are really stable!"
"Yes, Mr. Tian, you said that from last season to this season, Jiang Yuan's performance is undoubtedly enough to be called a star from heaven in the high jump event, right?"
When Tian Ruhui heard his old partner say this, he immediately laughed and said, "Why is it just high jump? Don't forget that Jiang Yuan is a high jump and long jump athlete!"
After laughing like this, the two old friends quickly turned the topic to the tenth group of athletes in the men's 100m preliminaries.
Tian Ruhui: "Speaking of the Purple Star that fell from the sky, I think the one who is about to compete in the tenth group of the men's 100m preliminaries is worthy of this title, right?"
Obviously, Tian Ruhui was talking about Su Yu who was already on the track preparing to start the race.
Zhou Jiming also had a good impression of Su Yu and said with a smile: "That's for sure. A 15-year-old running 10.35 seconds is not something that ordinary athletes can have."
Zhou Jiming made a joke and said, "Currently, Su Yu's best personal record in public events is 10.41 seconds in the men's 100m final of the S City race last season. But then Su Yu was called up by the national team during the winter training phase. From what I and Mr. Tian have heard, Su Yu's performance during the winter training phase was impressive, and he is indeed capable of breaking 10.35 seconds."
Tian Ruhui nodded and said, "Although this is only Su Yu's level in training for now, Teacher Zhou and I both believe that Su Yu will definitely have a chance to break the 10.40 mark this season, allowing his personal best in history and my country's NU18B results to reach a higher level!"
At this point, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help laughing. Su Yu is only 15 years old this year. It can be said that every step of his growth and improvement in the future will be the growth and improvement of the best result of the Chinese men's U18 100-meter sprint.
Until Su Yu turns 18, he will be a growing Chinese U18 men's 100m record.
and……
He may become the Chinese U20 men's 100m record holder in the future.
In short, with such a different kind of expectation, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but have an old father filter when looking at Su Yu on the court.
On the field, when the other eight opponents of Su Yu looked at him, there was certainly no way they could see an old father filter. For this guy whose official competition result at the age of 15 was already 10.41 seconds, the players around him only had caution towards him as if they were facing a strong enemy.
But being alert is useless. Perhaps all they can do is pray, praying that Su Yu is not in good condition in this game.
Perhaps their prayers were effective, the players in the same group as Su Yu always felt that Su Yu did not seem to be in great shape during the preparation stage of this preliminary round - like Feng Xiaofeng in the previous group, his excellent shape could be seen in the pre-match preparation stage.
Compared with Feng Xiaofeng, who was in great shape since the preparation stage of the previous game, Su Yu was different. He looked very calm, even a little too calm.
For the players in the same group with Su Yu, Su Yu's overly calm performance was an obvious sign of poor condition - if he was in good condition, Su Yu should have been eager to try and full of aggressiveness by now.
After noticing Su Yu's performance, the players in his group couldn't help but feel a little happy and expectant - if Su Yu was not in good shape, would they still have a chance and hope?
Several contestants who were adjacent to Su Yu had happy expressions on their faces, and it seemed that they wanted to boost their confidence and condition by suppressing Su Yu.
Of course, Su Yu also noticed the attention of the surrounding players on him, but he didn't care too much about this attention. He was just conscientiously adjusting his pre-match condition and warm-up preparations.
Ever since he first felt the temporary departure of his previous fiery competitive state in the previous team test match, Su Yu has long been accustomed to his current relatively calm state. Although it is not as exciting as before that was enough to make his heart pounding, absolute calmness can also allow him to perform well enough on the court!
With such a calm and determined state, Su Yu and his opponents in the tenth group of preliminaries came to their respective starting blocks and completed their preparations at the starter's command.
Then, after all the contestants were in position, the command "ready" and the starting gun "bang" sounded one after another.
***
For a moment, Zheng Guanyu felt that he had a hope of winning this group of preliminaries - after all, his strength was not weak, and the talented player Su Yu who was in the next lane to him was obviously not in good competitive form before the game.
Zheng Guanyu thought so until the moment the starting gun sounded. Before he could react, on his right hand side, Su Yu, who he thought was in "poor competitive condition", had already shot off like a bolt of lightning...!
Zheng Guanyu didn't know how he finished the entire 100-meter race. He only knew that when he successfully crossed the finish line, the distance between him and Su Yu was at least 5 meters...
This Su Yu...
This kid! How much did he achieve? !
When Zheng Guanyu looked up, he happened to see the big screen showing the overall ranking of the preliminary round flash, and then a name suddenly appeared at the top of the ranking list.
First place: Su Yu (10.37 seconds), wind speed (0.7m/s), Q (qualified), NU18B (the best result of U18 in the country).
