While rubbing his head, Su Zhe returned to the court with other players. As he walked towards the court a little dazed, a sudden noise was heard in the venue. From a distance, it sounded like someone was shouting words like "kawaii".
The loudest voice came from the direction of Su Zhe's fan club.
Su Zhe looked up with some confusion, only to find that the director had switched the camera to him again. What was just shown on the big screen was his confused and dazed head.
...bed.
Even Su Zhe was stunned at this moment. After a moment, he silently covered his face with one hand.
He really didn't expect that the director on the scene would give him such a humiliating look.
Beside him, Zhao Zhixuan also laughed out loud and shook his head and said, "Azhe, it looks like this director likes you very much."
Listening to Zhao Zhixuan's words, Su Zhe felt a surge of complaints in his heart but didn't know how to express them - during the time of waiting for the results after the game, shouldn't the big screen normally be playing slow-motion footage from various angles of the game?
Fortunately, the camera soon stopped focusing on his face and moved slightly further away, including Nanshan Yuki who was not far from Su Zhe and the other person.
Nanshan Yuki obviously also noticed the changes in the current picture. After seeing that he was also included in the picture, he suddenly smiled and made a heart shape with his hands towards Su Zhe, and then smiled and said to Su Zhe, "Kawaii".
In the commentary booth, Ippei Ishida looked at the live scene with a kind uncle smile on his face: "Su player doesn't seem to feel how charming he is. He is like a shining protagonist on the court. It's really hard to take your eyes off him. Even Nanshan-kun sent a lovely love to Su player. Although he is an opponent who needs to fight with all his strength on the court, everyone is very friendly off the court! Well, let's take a look at the replay of the final!"
This on-site camera switching is actually a small project of Fuji TV, which is responsible for broadcasting the game, called "The Many Faces of Him". It collects images of Su Zhe in different states through various channels, as well as the acceptance of Su Zhe's image by different audiences. The relevant shots will be included in the preview of the exclusive interview with Su Zhe after the game.
Su Zhe, who was present at the event, had not expected that Fuji TV would specially arrange these little tricks for his interview. So far, he just thought that this interview was an activity of the same nature as the 15-minute interview after the last game.
After the referees uploaded the results to commentator Ishida Kazuhei, Su Zhe finally heard his final result in the final.
"Men's 60m sprint: first place, Yuki Nanshan (Japan), 6.57 seconds, second place, Su Zhe (China), 6.60 seconds..."
After seeing his final results on the middle screen, Su Zhe frowned and nodded.
This result is already a significant improvement over the previous semi-final, although, compared to his 100-meter result, it is actually not outstanding.
Take the time when he ran 10.02 in the World Championships for example. His speed in the first 60 meters was about 6.55. Theoretically, after this period of training, his data should have shown an upward trend, but his final result was only 6.60.
It has to be said that his personal condition and lack of adaptation to indoor venues had a visible impact on him.
Su Zhe suddenly felt fortunate that he was invited to Japan to participate in such a competition before the real World Indoor Track and Field Championships began. This allowed him to have a clear judgment of his indoor competitive status.
However, Yuki Minamiyama... despite his lowest competitive state in the year, he still managed to run 6.57 seconds... so he may not be far from breaking Japan's 60-meter record again.
Although many Asian track and field powerhouses were invited to participate in this Japan Indoor Track and Field Invitational, the actual standard was not very high, so only Fuji TV in Japan broadcast the competition nationwide.
There are no corresponding channels in the country to broadcast this event, so domestic sports fans who want to watch this game can only watch it through Fuji TV's live broadcast on the Internet. But watching Fuji's live broadcast on the domestic Internet is a very exciting experience.
On the track and field kingdom forum, after the competition, a forum member who was brave enough to watch the competition via the international network posted the final results on the forum.
1L: [Hey, 6.60 seconds, Master Zhe’s condition this time is just average…]
3L: [Hahaha, it's not just Zhe Shao, look at these Asian strong players this time, which one is in good condition? But Niho's Nanshan Yuki is in pretty good condition. ]
6L: [It’s normal to have ups and downs. It’s the winter training period now. Who can be in top form 365 days a year? If that were the case, people from WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) would have to be on duty 24 hours a day, right?]
8L: [It's obviously a training trip, just to warm up. But I still have to say that the atmosphere of watching the game in Nibo is really good. Looking at the screenshots posted by the OP, the indoor stadium is packed. In this regard, it's really enviable...]
10L: [That’s right, but this year people have shown a lot of interest in track and field events. I hope this trend can continue…]
Different from the Athletics Kingdom forum which focuses on discussing sports performance, in Su Zhe's super topic on Weibo, several "philosopher" girls in Japan have reposted today's game status to the super topic.
There are not only pictures taken by Sakura Girl and otakus, but also a short video of Su Zhe's confused face appearing on the big screen after the final.
The background sound of this video is filled with the screams of the video recorder and the "kawaii" exclamations of the Sakura girls. Especially on the big screen, when Nanshan Yuki made a heart shape with his hands to Su Zhe, the girl who recorded the video shouted loudly - "No!! Mom doesn't agree with this marriage!!!"
…
…………
After watching this video, all the fans in the super topic had the same reaction of bursting into laughter.
[Hahahaha, sister you are awesome! =w=, this is the Japanese player called Nanshan or something, right? I saw him in Zaizai’s World Championship video before… He actually gave us a heart, his heart is despicable! ]
【_(:з」∠)_Pfft, I don’t agree with this marriage either! What’s wrong with this Japanese player? He just gives a random thumbs up to others! 】
【Hahaha, everyone is paying attention to this sister's shouting, didn't you see the confused face of the baby? From the talent show to the sports circle, I have always seen the baby competing seriously and training hard. Today, I saw the baby who was a little confused, it was really cute!!】
Amid the discussion of the philosopher sisters in the super chat filled with “hahahaha” sounds, another little girl with a keen sense suddenly jumped out.
[Hey, speaking of cuteness, I checked the super topic, has no one seen this photo? ]
This sensitive little philosopher girl immediately posted a photo taken on the day when Zhou Tianjue's track and field team first arrived in Japan.
After a few seconds of silence, the crowd burst into another round of "Ahhhhh".
[Isn’t this Zhou Tianjue Zaizai’s teammate? The one who calls Zaizai “little sheep” every day! Woohoo, mom is wrong. Mom is going to follow all of Zaizai’s teammates and scan their Weibo to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net! ]
In addition to happily showing off their looks, several girls who created the popular science account "Newbie's View of Track and Field" also gave explanations on Su Zhe's performance in this competition in Su Zhe's super topic.
Everyone calmly admitted that Su Zhe's performance in the 60-meter sprint was average, but they also pointed out that it was normal to have fluctuating results during the current winter training. At the same time, several girls made bold predictions.
[In the 60-meter sprint, Su Zhe's performance improved significantly from the preliminaries to the finals. Perhaps this is a sign of him gradually regaining his competitive form during the competition. If this is the case, we can expect Su Zhe's performance to improve in the next 60-meter hurdles competition.]
Since following Su Zhe, Teacher Tao Sheng has also had a good impression of these young fans of Su Zhe. After reading the posts in which the young girls made serious analyses, he also forwarded and supported this viewpoint: [I also watched Su Zhe's competition. Although his results were average, in the final, Su Zhe's competitive state has indeed improved. For tomorrow's 60-meter hurdles competition, I am optimistic that Su Zhe should be able to achieve good results tomorrow.]
Amid everyone's anticipation, the invitational tournament quickly entered its third day.
After the first two days of competition, Su Zhe gradually adapted to the indoor competition environment. At 5 pm on the third day, the preliminaries of the 60-meter hurdles officially began.
In today's preliminaries, there are also 40 players participating in this competition. Su Zhe and Ye Jun were both placed in the second preliminaries group, while Zhou Tianjue was placed in the fifth preliminaries group.
In the previous Asian Champions Invitational, Su Zhe did not participate in the men's 110-meter hurdles event because he wanted to fully qualify for the men's 100-meter sprint at the World Championships. Among the Asian 110-meter hurdles strongmen on the field, only a few of them had competed with Su Zhe in the World Championships.
For this preliminaries, both Su Zhe and Ye Jun were in a very relaxed state. In their preliminaries groups, the best performers in the 60m hurdles and even the 110m hurdles had personal bests this season of only 7.78 and 13.47. For Su Zhe and Ye Jun, who were able to run the 110m hurdles under 13.40 even when their competitive form was sluggish, these opponents really did not pose much of a threat.
Just as they expected.
In this preliminary round, Su Zhe and Ye Jun slowed down their speed and still easily won the first and second place in the group.
Among the five groups of athletes in the final preliminaries, Zhou Tianjue, Su Zhe and Ye Jun ranked first, second and fourth in the overall preliminaries with scores of 7.72, 7.74 and 7.79 respectively.
Among the Japanese athletes, only the famous athlete Endo Tatsuro ranked third with a score of 7.77 seconds.
After the ranking came out, Ippei Ishida, who was in charge of the commentary, exclaimed on the spot: "China's cross-column army is here! Incredible! This once glorious project of the Chinese Empire has been in decline for about 10 years, but in the time when no one noticed, China's cross-column army has risen again! Facing such a strong opponent, can Ni-Ho's cross-column warriors withstand their attacks?! It's really a terrifying army that makes people tremble with fear..."
Although Ishida Kappei's explanation is exaggerated, it is indeed the fact before our eyes.
In the Asian Championships held in the first half of this year, Japanese 110m hurdlers took two places in the finals, while at that time, only Ye Jun, a Chinese 110m hurdler, made it to the finals.
The 110m hurdles champion was eventually won by Endo Tatsuro, and Ye Jun only won the third place in the Asian Championships with a score of 13.37 seconds.
In just over half a year, Su Zhe, Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun teamed up to advance to the semi-finals of the World Championships. At that time, the Japanese track and field community was shocked by this. Ishida Kappei naturally remembered this news not long ago.
In today's indoor 60-meter hurdles competition, Zhou Tianjue, Su Zhe and Ye Jun once again demonstrated their absolute leading position in Asia in the hurdles event.
In the 60-meter hurdles semi-final that night, Zhou Tianjue, Su Zhe, and Ye Jun happened to be assigned to three different groups. Before the competition began, Zhou Tianjue's second-year spirit was already burning.
"Little sheep, Brother Ye." Zhou Tianjue touched his nose, then put his hands on his waist and said, "Do you think we can win the first place in all three groups of semi-finals?!"
Ye Jun was a bit amused by Zhou Tianjue's question: "Okay, don't underestimate your opponent. There are many Asian players here. Take the competition seriously. Doing well is the most important thing."
After hearing Ye Jun's scolding, Zhou Tianjue just rubbed his nose again, lowered his head and snorted to show that he admitted his mistake. For him, he naturally knew that he should take the competition seriously and respect his opponents, but due to his immature personality, he couldn't help but say these provocative words. In a situation where everyone is familiar with each other, it's not a big deal, but this is an international arena after all, so it's better to be more restrained.
However, Zhou Tianjue's idea is not impossible based on the current strength of the three people.
Among the three, Ye Jun was assigned to the first group of the semi-finals.
Ye Jun, who was the first to go out, smiled at Zhou Tianjue and Su Zhe, and then when he was about to go on stage, he stood at the back of everyone and raised his thumb.
Looking at this gesture that seemed to be just to cheer himself up, Su Zhe recalled the ambition that Zhou Tianjue had just mentioned - can we win the first place in all three groups of the semi-finals?
After Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared in his eyes.
As the former No. 1 in the 110-meter hurdles in China, Ye Jun naturally has his confidence and pride in his heart. Even though Ye Jun's performance in training has not yet surpassed both him and Zhou Tianjue, his condition is getting better and better in training after the World Championships. The 27-year-old 110-meter hurdles athlete is gradually showing his strength.
On the field, the short 60-meter hurdles race passed by in a flash.
From the reaction at the start to the stride and leap at the first hurdle, Ye Jun maintained a good rhythm. When he crossed the fourth hurdle, Ishida Kappei in the commentary booth was already shouting in surprise. The winner of the first group of the semi-finals has been decided!
Just as Ishida Kappei said, Ye Jun took the first place in the first group of the semi-finals with a score of 7.74 seconds. When Su Zhe came on stage, Ye Jun, who was about to leave, turned around and gave Su Zhe a thumbs up.
After laughing, Su Zhe also raised his right hand, raised his thumb, and responded in the direction of Ye Jun.
In the commentary booth, Ippei Ishida also saw Su Zhe's finger, but he also thought it was just a normal cheering gesture: "In the preliminaries, we have witnessed Su's fast pace that can tear apart the confidence of his opponents. And he, who has such strength, is raising his thumb before the game to cheer himself up! This makes me seem to smell danger... In this group's semi-finals, Endo-kun and Su are in the same group! Endo-kun, cheer too!!"
Tatsuro Endo is also a famous athlete in Japan's 110m hurdles event. In this year's Asian Championships, he broke his personal best with a score of 13.31 seconds and also won the Asian Championships championship trophy.
For Su Zhe, the only obstacle to whether he can win the first place in each group of the semi-finals together with Ye Jun and Zhou Tianjue may come from him.
When all the players were ready, the referee gave the prepared instructions, and then the starting gun sounded!
When reacting to the shot, Su Zhe calmly maintained his superior reaction speed and started first at a speed of 0.134 seconds. In this Japanese indoor competition, he still used his previous eight-step technique in front of the hurdles. In the track in front of the hurdles, although his burst speed was not the fastest, it was not inferior to anyone present.
Among all the players, he and Endo Tatsuro were the only two who had an advantage of about half a body length over the others at the fence.
But perhaps because he was too eager to win, Endo Tatsuro's technical movements were slightly unstable when he crossed the first hurdle. He just scraped the hurdle slightly when he passed the first hurdle, which obviously affected his speed and subsequent rhythm and mentality.
In the 110-meter hurdles event, Su Zhe's most stable skills are his hurdle-jumping technique and his rhythm between hurdles.
From the first fence, he was in great shape.
Push off the ground with your right leg, raise your swinging leg, and quickly pull up your leg to keep up. After passing the hurdle, quickly switch to the steps between hurdles, and move forward all the way to the hurdles at a steady and gradually increasing speed!
This is an undoubted victory.
Even though Su Zhe's strongest performance was not reflected in the 60-meter hurdles, his speed increase in the first five hurdles was enough for him to take first place again in today's semi-final.
In this semi-final, Su Zhe's final score was 7.68 seconds.
After the 60-meter races in the previous two days, Su Zhe clearly felt that his condition had indeed improved in today's competition. After devoting himself to the competition and putting aside distractions, his control over himself on the court was further strengthened.
Ishida Ippei's voice was a little heavy at the commentary booth: "The second group of the 60-meter hurdles semi-finals has ended, and Endo-kun is only ranked second. Athlete Su on the track, his posture is like a snow leopard on the hunt, beautiful and strong, he tore the hearts of all opponents! Strength and beauty, in him, are perfectly combined... He and his two companions are casting terrible shadows on this indoor stadium. Who else can stop the three of them from winning? Or maybe... the only ones who can defeat these three Chinese athletes are themselves?!"
In the Chinese team's cross-hurdle group, these three strong players, led by Su Zhe, truly engraved the word "terrible" in the hearts of other players in the same competition after the end of the second group of the semi-finals.
Is there anyone who can stop these three cross-hurdle players from the Chinese team?
Everyone had this question in their mind.
"Here he comes! The third hurdler from China!" Ishida Ippei exclaimed after Zhou Tianjue came on stage. "This hurdler is the youngest of the three Chinese hurdlers! In the recent World Athletics Championships, Zhou's score in the preliminaries was 13.26 seconds. In the semi-finals, this young athlete lost the qualification to advance to the finals only because of an accident... If there hadn't been that accident, perhaps in the previous World Championships 110-meter hurdles final, we would have seen the amazing scene of two Chinese athletes competing at the same time!"
"In front of this hidden Chinese powerhouse, is there anyone in the third group of the semi-finals who can stand up to him?!"
Amid Ishida Kappei's worried voice, the final group of the 60-meter hurdles semi-finals of this indoor competition officially began!
On the track, after seeing Ye Jun and Su Zhe both win first place in the semi-finals, Zhou Tianjue was already in a state of excitement, and "eager to try" was not enough to describe his state at that moment.
First!
Together with my teammates, we swept the semi-finals of this competition!
This burning thought made Zhou Tianjue's eyes brighter and brighter. When he squatted on the starting blocks, his excitement and momentum made the athletes on his left and right feel a little bit.
When the referee's starting gun sounded, Zhou Tianjue's reaction time reached an astonishing 0.122 seconds. His strong explosive power made him stand out from the crowd at the starting stage!
From the perspective of height and leg length, Zhou Tianjue is more suitable for the seven-step pace in front of the hurdles than Su Zhe. This is also the inevitable improvement direction set by Lu Fei for him. However, because he has been promoted to the adult group for less than a year, he has not officially started his transformation of the pace in front of the hurdles.
But even so, his speed is already astonishing enough.
He crossed each railing quickly and easily, and by the fifth railing, his pace was close to his fastest speed.
For him, if we extrapolate from the overall pace of the 110-meter hurdles, it will be easier for him to achieve results in the 60-meter hurdles than Su Zhe.
Little Sheep and Brother Ye both won first place, can he lose this game?
No, he will never lose!
Throughout the entire race, Zhou Tianjue maintained his excitement. Even though there were athletes chasing him from behind, it did not affect his rhythm at all.
Even his rising rhythm between the columns slightly disturbed the Kuwaiti player who was chasing him closely.
Until he crossed the five hurdles and entered the final sprint stage, no one could surpass Zhou Tianjue.
"Bang."
After sprinting across the finish line, Zhou Tianjue, who was obviously too excited, still hit the sponge wall heavily even after the buffer, but he just shook his head and then roared happily!
"ha!!"
His eyes looked towards the outside of the stadium, where Su Zhe and Ye Jun were looking at him with smiles.
Zhou Tianjue stretched out his arms excitedly, raised the index fingers on both hands, and posed as if he was the first!
On the third day of the Japan Indoor Invitational, at the end of the 60m hurdles semi-final, there was a moment of silence.
In the commentary booth, Ishida Ippei shook his head and sighed: "Everyone present, we have witnessed the rise of three cross-hurdle demon kings from China!"
The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_ Today, it is another sad life and death race... This spicy chicken has a cold... My head is a little dizzy, so I won’t say more today
I still give everyone a big thumbs up! =w=!!
So Cai Cai went to sleep!
