As a prime-time live broadcast on Fuji TV, many families in Nihong watched the men's 100-meter sprint final of the Asian Champions Invitational.
In a country like Niger where everyone is obsessed with running, this kind of event is really popular, and many people started watching it seriously from the moment the finalists were introduced.
Ishida Kappei's flattering commentary naturally also fell into the ears of the audience in front of the TV, but when the camera turned to Su Zhe, the audience in Nihongo often couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again.
"This is truly... the most stunning face of the first year of Reiwa!"
In the following race, within just ten seconds, the audience in front of the TV could not help but hold their breath, looking forward to the performance of Shiraishi Shota, Takeshita Hiroaki and the amazing Chinese athlete on the track.
Until the end of the final, many people were still immersed in the excitement brought by those short ten seconds. Whether it was Shiraishi Shota's domineering aura on the court or Su Zhe's strong strength under her beautiful appearance, they all left them with endless aftertastes.
On the domestic live broadcast network, because of the farce the day before, today's final attracted unprecedented attention, and everyone was looking forward to what kind of result Su Zhe could achieve.
When Shiraishi Shota crossed the finish line first, many people felt regretful, but Su Zhe crossed the finish line right after him. It was his first time stepping onto the international arena and winning the runner-up in an Asian-level event, which was already a good result.
On bullet screens, Weibo, and the track and field kingdom forums, both spectators and sports enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the final results.
[Ahhh, I think I can do it this time! I used a stopwatch to time it, and Zhe Shao will definitely be able to run under 10.10 seconds! ]
【??? Brother in front, wake up, the coach's hand timing and electronic timing are incomparable. Do you dare to trust your own hand timing?】
[Hey, the live broadcast of this Nihong match is pretty good. There seem to be a lot of spectators on the scene, but I can’t understand a word the commentator says…]
Amid the tense atmosphere of people chattering and expecting, Ippei Ishida finally received the final player results summary from the referee team.
On the live TV screen, as Ishida Kappei made the announcement, the players' scores were made into score templates and appeared one by one.
"Third place: Andrew Kattar, 10.13 (0.7)."
"Second place: Su Zhe, China, 10.07 (0.7)."
"First place: Shiraishi Shota, Japan, 10.05 (0.7)."
After announcing all the results, Ippei Ishida's voice was still full of excitement: "Congratulations to athlete Shiraishi, who is in excellent form today and ran under 10.05 again. And our athlete Su from the Chinese Empire broke his personal best in today's race and successfully ran under 10.10. Oh! This means that in the upcoming World Athletics Championships, we will be able to see athlete Su appear in a world-class competition for the first time. This is really great news!"
The "philosopher" girls and cherry blossom girls at the scene were already dancing wildly with joy, and other Chinese spectators who came to watch the game temporarily also celebrated loudly.
The craziest place, without a doubt, is the domestic Internet platform!
Whether on the live broadcast platform's bullet screen, or on Weibo or the Athletics Kingdom forum, all sports enthusiasts who were following the game began to celebrate.
[Fuck!!! It worked!!! Great job, Master Zhe!!]
[I am crying. Damn it. Ever since the news of Chen Da Shen’s injury came out, I have been worried. I thought there was no hope for him to win the men’s 100m at the World Championships…]
[Who isn’t? If it weren’t for Zhe Shao’s sudden appearance, there would be a high probability that our quota for this World Championship would be zero…]
【Zhe Shao is awesome!!! Yesterday, there were people who attacked Zhe Shao all over the Internet, using the methods of the entertainment industry to deal with athletes, is it interesting?】
On the Internet, both the girls in Su Zhe's fan club and the spectators were infected by the enthusiasm of sports fans. For a while, the topic of "Su Zhe qualified for the men's 100m in the World Championships" became a hot topic on the Internet.
While the public is enthusiastic about sports events, many sports celebrities on the Internet have written their own analysis and comments on the game, providing scientific knowledge for all netizens who can't tell the excitement of the game or the hard work of the athletes behind it because they only see 10 seconds pass by.
Tao Sheng: [I didn’t say anything until the end of the competition because I was a little worried about this Asian Champions Invitational Tournament. Although Su Zhe’s talent and strength are well known, he has only been participating in sports competitions for a short time. Even now, he is still an inexperienced player.]
[This can be seen from the national qualifiers, national championships, and world championships. Although he has achieved excellent results in the competitions, it is precisely this state that shows that Su Zhe is actually under tremendous psychological pressure. If a person is compared to a bow, he is always in a state of being fully drawn, which makes people worry whether he will break his string at some point.]
[Not long ago, I learned from a friend that soon after Su Zhe recovered from his foot injury, he immediately returned to the sports team for pre-match adaptive training, and the intensity of the training was not low. From these details, it can be seen that Su Zhe has a strong sense of urgency. ]
[Letting an athlete like this, who has insufficient competition experience and has not yet been able to fully grasp and balance his own mentality, directly step into Asian-level competitions within a limited time and compete for a place in the world championships... I once considered whether this could be considered as forcing the growth of seedlings. ]
【My fellow athletes should remember that there was a post on the Athletics Kingdom forum about whether Su Zhe could break the 10.10 mark. I voted in the minority at the time... It wasn't because I didn't want to believe in Su Zhe, but I was afraid from the bottom of my heart whether such a talented athlete could withstand the psychological pressure in a short period of time and grow in this Asian-level competition all at once.】
[In yesterday's first preliminaries, Su Zhe's condition was obviously affected by psychological factors. At the start, he made a rare start error, and his reaction time was as long as 0.18 - what does this mean? Compared with his average reaction time of 0.15, it was 0.03 seconds slower. In the 100m final of the World Championships Challenge, where he exhausted all his physical strength, his reaction time was 0.20.]
【After the start of the preliminaries, his state was not as excited as usual. Of course, this may be because the opponent in the match was not strong enough, so Su Zhe's state seemed not excited enough. But what is more obvious is that after the match entered the sprint stage, Su Zhe's speed began to increase. After reaching the finish line, he even continued to sprint forward... In the preliminaries, he really entered the competitive state after entering the sprint stage. 】
…
Tao Sheng's long article, from his concerns about Su Zhe's pre-match condition, to his worries about Su Zhe's first Asian-level competition, to the changes in Su Zhe's condition in the preliminaries, semi-finals and finals, can be said to be full of ups and downs. All those who didn't understand the game at first, after reading it, showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
Although the men's 100-meter race only lasts 10 seconds, the energy and effort expended by each athlete who strives for the competition is difficult for ordinary people to measure.
Even if it is just a short ten seconds on the field, which seems to pass in a flash to ordinary people, and they can't even tell whether the athletes have exerted their strength or not, the athletes on the field have actually experienced several twists and turns and exhausted all their strength.
This long article was reprinted by many sports celebrities, and even official media reprinted it with comments.
Sports Channel: [Congratulations to Su Zhe for his first 10.10 seconds, and successfully won the World Championships Men's 100m Sprint with a score of 10.07 seconds! Every athlete has not only the glory on the field, but also countless hard moments on the training field. It is the accumulation of these sweats that can finally pick this flower of victory. ]
Many people who were just casual spectators at first gradually became addicted to athletics after watching the games and various analysis articles after the games, as well as various exciting montages of the events.
[I originally just came here to eat a bite of melon, but now I think this bite of melon is really sweet, I think I can continue to eat it - it's really not easy for athletes. I hope there will be more reports about athletes in the future, so that everyone can have a better understanding of competitive sports and athletes. ]
This comment on the sports channel's Weibo account received countless likes, and those who agreed with the opinion also lined up below to express their agreement.
This thriving attitude makes many people in the sports circle feel comforted - even if these spectators are only popular for three days, there will always be people who stay after this attention and become the new backbone of fans.
Only when more and more people pay attention to sports and competitions, will there be more companies sponsoring competitions, and athletes will receive higher bonuses and treatment.
Because of this incident, many people began to tease Su Zhe, calling him the koi fish of the sports world. Since he entered the sports circle, he has appeared on hot searches one after another, and the number of people paying attention to sports has also increased. This competition has attracted a lot of attention because of his hacking incident, and the attention of the sports circle has also increased significantly.
Before the nickname "Kinli" became popular, people who had learned Japanese had already translated the video clips of Su Zhe's games in Japan into subtitles. In an instant, the nickname "The Beautiful Snow Leopard Boy from the Chinese Empire" was spread all over Weibo by the Haha Party.
At this time, Su Zhe, who was still in Nibo, was not aware of the various events on the domestic Internet.
As the runner-up in the men's 100m event of the Asian Champions Invitational, he, Shiraishi Shota and Andrew were individually invited by the staff for a post-match interview.
The host of this interview is Ikki Miura, who is also from Fuji TV. This middle-aged man in his 40s has a affable and humorous temperament, but he is also amazing at flattering people.
Su, who had not known his nickname until now, changed into a casual sports outfit and followed the staff into the interview room. Shiraishi Shota and Andrew had already returned to their suits and arrived at the same time.
As a fan of Su Zhe's face, Bai Shi's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Su Zhe change his clothes and push his hair back to reveal his exquisite face. After greeting Su Zhe, he showed a silly smile and fangs, and almost wagged his tail behind him.
Miura Ikki obviously noticed Shiraishi Shota's performance. He smiled and asked, "Ah, it seems that Shiraishi really likes Su!"
"Ah." Shiraishi Shota was stunned for a moment, then he affirmed without hesitation: "Yes, I think Su's beauty and strength are enough to conquer everyone's heart."
"Huh?" Miura Ikki didn't expect Shiraishi Shota to speak so highly of Su Zhe, but he also admired Su Zhe very much. After seeing Su Zhe, he couldn't help but praise: "Athlete Su is really the best in the sports world in terms of looks. He has a slightly cold temperament and looks more like a noble prince. He looks like a character from a comic book!"
Su Zhe and Andrew, who could not understand Japanese, did not know how to communicate with Kazuki Miura and Shota Shiraishi who were talking after they sat down.
After seeing the expressions of the two men, Kazuki Miura immediately realized his impoliteness and apologized to Su Zhe and the others. With the help of the director and translator, he began a post-match interview about the entire game.
The content of the interview is nothing more than whether the initial goal of the competition was achieved, what the participants felt after the competition, how they felt after achieving the goal, what the next goal was, etc.
Su Zhe originally thought that he had been in the entertainment industry for two years, so he would have no problem dealing with these post-match interview questions. However, he did not expect that the thinking process of the people of Nibo was particularly strange...
Kazuki Miura: "Ah, Su, your beauty and strength have conquered many people's hearts. I heard that your Japanese fan club has been established. Many members of the fan club have left messages on Fuji TV's Twitter, hoping to learn about your next competition arrangements. Do you have any specific schedule for the next round, Su?"
???
After listening to the translator's retelling, Su Zhe looked a little bewildered... Wasn't this just an ordinary post-match interview? Why did the questions seem a little strange?
After thinking for a moment, he responded, "Next, I should return home tomorrow morning to join the national team's training, and then go to Country D to participate in the World Athletics Championships."
"Ah..." Miura Ikki showed a regretful expression: "Return home immediately? To be honest, Fuji TV has a variety show that wants to invite you to participate, but as a professional and strong athlete, training and participating in competitions are the most important thing!"
Shiraishi Shota also had a regretful expression like Miura. He looked at Su Zhe with some disappointment, apparently not expecting that Su Zhe would return to China immediately tomorrow to join the training camp.
Although Su Zhe saw the regret and disappointment of Shiraishi Shota and Miura Ikki, he still didn't quite understand the current situation. He just nodded seriously and said, "Yes, in the next month, we need to devote all our energy to training and strive to get better results in the World Championships."
The post-match interview was not an exclusive interview and lasted only 15 minutes in total, which was already a relatively long interview time.
After the interview, Kazuki Miura and Shota Shiraishi still expressed their hope to Su Zhe that he would accept the invitation to come to Japan to participate in variety shows during the winter offseason, hoping to give fans some expectations and surprises.
Although Su Zhe knew that in addition to the "philosopher" girls, there were also some Sakura girls cheering for him in the stands these two days, he did not expect that they would have established a fan club.
But even though winter is the off-season, he still has winter training waiting for him, so for a while, he couldn't readily agree to Miura's request.
Shiraishi Shouta, on the other hand, took advantage of the fact that there was a translator, and earnestly asked the translator to help relay his message, asking if he could add his social network account. However, Line and Twitter are not used in China, so in the end, Su Zhe could only leave WeChat, email, and Weibo as contact methods.
The next day, under the arrangement of the team staff, Su Zhe boarded a plane back home with some athletes who had already completed the competition.
When leaving, Shiraishi Shota came to see him off again as a staff member. This arrangement was quite unexpected for Su Zhe.
After waving goodbye to this new foreign friend, Su Zhe boarded the flight back home with the team.
The players' trip to Japan lasted less than three days and could be said to have come and gone in a hurry.
But for the Chinese players, this Asian Champions Invitational Tournament can be said to have yielded fruitful results - including Su Zhe, a total of 5 players have qualified for the World Championships in this competition, and among them, Su Zhe has achieved the breakthrough of opening up 0 seats in the event.
Everyone is eager to take part in the intensive training that will begin after returning home.
In the coming period of time, they need to improve themselves as much as possible in order to achieve better results in the World Athletics Championships!
Just as Su Zhe closed his eyes and rested on the plane, the familiar system sound suddenly rang again, making a sound similar to an alarm.
"Beep, the host's reputation has reached 30 million. The system data storage space is insufficient. Please redeem the attributes immediately to avoid data overflow."
…
This reminder accompanied by an alarm made Su Zhe confused for a moment.
He didn't expect his reputation to grow so fast during this period, but what he didn't expect was... just 30 million reputation points would make this stupid system on the verge of data overflow?!
What kind of ridiculous system is this... How can a system that can realize so many high-tech functions perform so poorly in data storage?
These countless complaints flooded Su Zhe's heart, and for a moment he didn't know where to start complaining.
It was not until Su Zhe opened the system's reputation and attribute point redemption function that he found a line of small words in the corner: Primary system, reputation storage limit is 35 million.
Well...it turns out that this stupid system can be upgraded, but no matter how Su Zhe searched in the system, he couldn't find the method or instructions to upgrade the system.
Finally, Su Zhe gave up the search and had to return to the attribute point redemption interface to start thinking about how to redeem new attribute points.
He originally thought that after integrating the attribute points, there was still a part of the potential brought by the attribute points that had not been fully absorbed through training, but since he had to redeem them now, he took advantage of the arrival of the national team training and the acquisition of new space training hours to start a new crazy training mode.
National Team Training Center, World Championships Training Center, Conference Room
After Su Zhe was assigned to participate in the Asian Champions Invitational Tournament, Su Yinsheng was also called up by the national team and joined the sprint coaching team for the World Championships training camp, serving as the head coach.
Of course, the training targets he needs to be responsible for are not just Su Zhe - when he was recruited into the team, Su Zhe had not yet officially qualified to participate in the 100m event in the World Championships.
Although Su Zhe is the only athlete who has qualified for the men's 100m event in this World Championships, there are also athletes who have qualified for the women's 100m and 200m events.
In addition, the men's 100m relay won the top ten in the World Athletics Relays and also qualified to participate in the 4*100m relay at the World Athletics Championships.
However, Chen Zhi, the key figure who led the men's relay team to win the championship at the World Athletics Relays, had just completed surgery in Germany and it was completely impossible for him to lead the men's relay team again during the World Championships.
At this time, Su Yinsheng was discussing with the coaching staff about which athlete should be selected to join the 4*100m team to replace Chen Zhi.
The four members of the 4*100m team were originally Chen Zhi, Meng Hao, Zhao Zhixuan and Wang Qin, with Qiu Xinchu as a reserve member.
According to common sense, when Chen Zhi was injured and the main players were insufficient, Qiu Xinchu should have directly replaced Chen Zhi. However, because of the existence of Su Zhe, the members of the coaching staff asked why Su Zhe did not replace Chen Zhi and Qiu Xinchu remained as a reserve player.
Su Yinsheng naturally understood the coach's idea of making this suggestion. Su Zhe's 100-meter performance is now basically stable. When he is in good shape, he even ran a result within 10.10 seconds in this final.
Compared with Qiu Xinchu, whose performance fluctuates greatly and whose condition is not stable enough, it seems safer for Su Zhe to take the top spot.
Rubbing his head, Su Yinsheng said with a headache: "Everyone, don't forget that Su Zhe is actually just a rookie athlete. Since he returned to track and field to participate in training, all the events he has trained for are the 100 meters and later the 110-meter hurdles."
"It is also because his events are limited to the 100m and 110m hurdles. He has a short training time and participates in many events. So far, he has not received systematic training on cornering techniques, let alone special training on baton-handing techniques. In addition, he also has to deal with the coordination with his teammates... Can so many things be solved in less than a month? Moreover, he has the pressure of training for the men's 100m event and the 110m hurdles. Have you calculated how he should allocate his training in this month?"
Su Yinsheng's words calmed down the coach who made the suggestion, and the issue was temporarily shelved.
