At 10:30 am, the semi-finals of the Provincial Games 100m Track and Field Group B (Professional Group) will begin.
At this time, the atmosphere in the preparation area for the 100-meter semi-final was strangely quiet. Everyone looked at Su Zhe, Zheng Jian, and Zhao Zhixuan from time to time, and then looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Deng Wei had a blank expression on his face, standing some distance away from everyone, but his eyes would occasionally glance towards Su Zhe's position, and then he would lower his head with a sinister expression.
Not far away, in the interview area of online media, the live hosts of self-media have begun to liven up the atmosphere again.
This morning's preliminaries were completely beyond everyone's expectations. Su Zhe, who was originally thought to be eliminated from the preliminaries, actually ran the best result among all the preliminaries. This news spread to the Internet, and more and more people began to pour into the live broadcast room to watch the live broadcast.
In the stands, Su Zhe's fans ignored the scorching July sun and kept discussing something excitedly. The girl holding the camera pointed the lens at Su Zhe in the preparation area. After taking the ideal photo, she would immediately call the girls around her to watch and scream together.
Tao Sheng, who was sitting next to the girls, felt uncomfortable all over, but out of concern for Su Zhe's performance in the semi-finals, he still endured the pressure and continued to sit in his seat, waiting for the semi-finals to begin.
In fact, from the end of the preliminaries to now, Tao Sheng's mood has always been in a state of extreme ups and downs. Su Zhe's results were completely beyond his expectations. This result not only ran into the standard of the second-year junior high school athlete, but even ran into the standard of the national master.
As a well-known sports commentator in S Province, Tao Sheng knows a lot about the talents of the province's track and field events. After repeated calculations in his mind, he found that, not to mention today's preliminaries, even if the time is pushed back one year, there will be only a limited number of athletes in S Province who can run into this result. This cognition shocked him a little.
You know, this Su Zhe really worked in the entertainment industry for two years, and just came back to resume training! If he can run 10.40 after such a short period of training, what if he had been training for the past two years...? !
Thinking of this possibility, Tao Sheng's heart was first filled with excitement, but then he was awakened by the cruel reality - this Su Zhe really wasted two years in the entertainment industry.
From the preliminaries to the semi-finals, Tao Sheng's mentality has shifted significantly. He had long forgotten the article he had written and was now anxiously waiting for the semi-finals to begin, hoping to see how Su Zhe would perform in the semi-finals.
Is his performance in the preliminary round just a flash in the pan? Is his competition status stable?
Just as everyone was feeling either excited or anxious, the semi-finals have officially begun!
This time, Su Zhe was assigned to the first group, and Deng Wei was still on the lane to his right. Before everyone started to prepare for action, Deng Wei glared at Su Zhe fiercely.
"Don't think you can really surpass me! Bah, pretty boy!"
Su Zhe simply responded to Deng Wei's provocation with cold contempt. The iron rules of the sports circle that he had accepted since childhood had long been engraved in his mind: a villain without real power will never make waves in the sports circle.
"On your marks! Get ready!"
The referee of the semi-final raised the starting gun.
After confirming that everyone was ready, the starting gun fired with a bang!
The moment Su Zhe started running, the system in his brain once again emitted real-time mechanical sounds.
Sprint LV2 state is activated, and the sprint state bonus is 10%.
A feeling of lightness filled Su Zhe's heart. His strong and powerful limbs stretched and waved, his arms swung and moved quickly forward. He almost had the illusion of flying forward with the wind!
Deng Wei was fully focused on the start this time, and he thought his reaction speed at the start was at its peak. His feet left the starting blocks and he flew forward, the suppressed anger in his heart turning into his strength.
He was confident that he had run at a level that was rarely seen before.
Can that pretty boy catch up with him this time?
Deng Wei raised his head and rushed forward confidently, but he saw a lightning-like figure in front of him, which should be empty in his mind.
How is that possible?!
At this moment, the speed competition was completely on a completely different level, and it made Deng Wei feel cold in his heart.
"Fuck...what's the speed!"
In the coaching area, all the coaches were staring at the glowing white figure on the track. That figure was running so fast that everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
Su Yinsheng and Zhao Changhe were also a little shocked. They knew Su Zhe's speed. The 10.40 in the preliminaries was not his best. After training during this period, Su Zhe's 100m time was basically stable at around 10.30. With the continuous adjustment of his technical movements and training, there must be a lot of room for improvement.
But Su Zhe's speed on the field at this moment... is definitely more than 10.30 seconds!
Su Zhe didn't know what his current speed was. In the latter part of the race, he felt that he still seemed to have some energy left, so he increased his speed again in the latter part.
"What?! This late-game acceleration?!"
In the stands, Tao Sheng stood up in shock, muttering something to himself.
In the coaching area, all the coaches stared at the figure who was riding a horse and killed everyone, and took a deep breath.
Win.
In the first group of the semi-finals, Su Zhe is still first.
This is a clear fact, but everyone's attention is no longer here.
Everyone quickly turned their eyes to the electronic timer, staring at the red number representing Su Zhe's score. On the white column, the red electronic timer displayed a clear number.
10.21.
…
Seeing this result, the whole audience fell silent for a moment.
Normally, the semi-finalists crossed the finish line one after another, but everyone seemed to be speechless.
10.21... With this result, are they really participating in the 100m race of the S Province Provincial Games instead of some top track and field event in Asia?
After crossing the finish line, Deng Wei also saw his own result, 10.55, which is his best result this year. When he participated in the National Track and Field Grand Prix East Lake Station last month, he only ran a score of 10.69 and entered the final of the East Lake Station at that time.
A score of 10.55 seconds.
He should have been excited, but now he just felt that the world in front of him seemed a little blurry.
The atmosphere in the coaching area was also somewhat suffocating.
Yu Zhensheng, who had told Su Yinsheng before the preliminaries that letting Su Zhe meet a strong opponent too early would be bad for his psychological condition, now blushed and turned pale.
Deng Wei ran his best time this year. He should have been proud of himself, but at this moment, how could he be proud of himself? He wished that no one could see him at this moment.
After more than ten seconds of silence, a coach began to congratulate Su Yinsheng.
"Coach Su, you are amazing! You are a son of a general, no doubt about it!"
"Your Su Zhe is so talented... why did you let him go into the entertainment industry two years ago?"
"What a pity! Coach Su, if you had trained Su Zhe well two years ago, he would have had a chance to compete in the Tokyo Olympics next year!"
All the coaches expressed their admiration with some regret.
At this moment, thinking back to the attacks on Su Zhe and Su Yinsheng by netizens on the Internet, everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed in their hearts - until today, they were also one of the people who criticized Su Yinsheng unfairly on the Internet. How could they have imagined that Su Yinsheng's son was so talented?
Then again, how could we not keep such a talented kid by our side and train him, but let him go out into the entertainment industry to mess around? !
What a mess! What a mess!
No matter how frustrated the coaches in the coaching area were, the commotion on the field caused by Su Zhe's semi-final results had been temporarily calmed down.
The second group of the semi-finals will begin soon.
There were no surprises in this group's competition. Su Zhe's teammate Zheng Jian won first place in the second group's semi-final with a score of 10.66.
By this time, the preliminaries and semi-finals of the provincial games had ended, and the only thing left was the final at 4 pm.
In the stands, several of Su Zhe's fans were so excited that they were speechless, waving their banners and crying with excitement. Beside them, Tao Sheng also kept his fist clenched in excitement.
10.21!
This speed is only 0.02 seconds behind the record of 10.19 set by Chen Zhi, a domestic 100m champion coached by Su Yinsheng, in the last two provincial games!
Who is Chen Zhi? He is a famous athlete who ran under 10 seconds! Although his performance has fluctuated in the past two years due to his age, he is still a well-known sprint leader in the country.
The entry standards for the Tokyo Olympics next year are extremely harsh, requiring athletes to achieve a 100m time of 10.05 to qualify. Among the candidates in Taiwan who are widely recognized as having the potential to reach the 100m entry standards during the Olympic qualification period, there is Chen Zhi.
At the provincial games, he achieved a result comparable to that of Chen Zhi in the past. What does this mean?
Tao Sheng's eyes were burning, and there was a fire burning in his heart.
Su Zhe is only 20 years old, not yet at the prime age for a track and field athlete.
As long as he maintains his form, it means that for at least the next six years, the leading sprinter in the country will definitely be from their S province!
Next to the stadium, the anchors broadcasting the rematch were also going crazy!
Today, when netizens have pushed the topic #Su Zhe get out of the sports circle# to over 100 million reads, Su Zhe not only did not get eliminated in the preliminaries, but became more and more courageous, running 10.21 seconds in the semi-finals, a first-class result in Asia!
The anchors almost thought they were experiencing a bizarre and gorgeous dream. After all, only in dreams can such fantastic stories exist...
In the live broadcast rooms of the 100-meter semi-finals of the S Province Provincial Games, the barrage of comments suddenly became much sparse.
Even netizens think this seems like a huge joke.
Some strange Weibo posts started to appear one after another:
[I think I'm sick. I'm actually hallucinating. Su Zhe ran 10.21 seconds in the semi-finals? ? ? #Su Zhe Get Out of the Sports Circle#]
[I don’t know much about track and field… Can anyone tell me what level a 100m time of 10.21 seconds is… (dazed face) #Suzhegetoutofsports#]
As for Tao Sheng, who can be said to be the source of the topic of Su Zhe's exit from the sports circle, netizens were surprised to find that Tao Sheng actually posted an ecstatic Weibo.
[I was wrong! I was really wrong! I almost killed the pride of Province S! @Su Zhe, run! I'm waiting to see you win the championship in the final!]
The picture accompanying this Weibo post is a photo of an electronic timer and a fancy Q-version avatar, with a banner saying "Come on, baby Zhe" written on it.
For a while, netizens who followed Tao Sheng because of the topic #Su Zhe get out of the sports circle# couldn't help but wonder if they had opened the wrong Weibo account.
