Chapter 57(1/2)
After the competition and returning to the Asian Games Village, Su Zhe finally had time to take out his phone and take a look. In addition to the routine of harvesting the condolences of his bad friend Jiang Hanning, when he was flipping through his circle of friends, he unexpectedly saw a familiar group of street scenes in D Country. After a closer look, the person who posted the picture turned out to be Shao Xingchen.
???
Su Zhe was a little surprised. Is Shao Xingchen also in Country D now? But he had never heard of this matter at all?
After thinking about it, Su Zhe clicked on the dialog box with Shao Xingchen and sent a question mark.
Not long after, the opposite side immediately responded, and a series of photos popped out of the dialog box, with a smiley expression at the end.
After looking closely, these photos were taken by him during the competition these two days. These photos were obviously taken with professional telephotos. The shooting effect of only looking at the photos is no less than that of those professional sports photographers.
Seeing these pictures, Su Zhe instantly knelt down.
"Big Boss, are you watching the game on the spot? Embarrass..."
Shao Xingchen, opposite, quickly replied, and then said as if he was explaining: "With the work schedule in Country D, I just came a few days earlier, so I came to watch the game. You need to concentrate on the game, but I didn't tell you."
Seeing Shao Xingchen's explanation, Su Zhe smiled. No matter what, it would be a very pleasant thing to have friends come to watch his game on site.
After thinking about it, Su Zhe asked, "Will you come to the game tomorrow? I can ask someone to take you to the seat in the contestant area, where the vision will be better."
After receiving this sentence from the other person, Su Zhe saw that the above chat box was always in the state of being entered, but after receiving the reply from the other person, he only had a simple good word.
Seeing Shao Xingchen's operation, Su Zhe looked funny. Since he met, Shao Xingchen's seemingly cold image has collapsed a lot. His awkward appearance in such a strange place is surprisingly interesting.
“The photos are great! Can I use them to post on Weibo?”
This sentence is not a polite statement. In the photos sent by Shao Xingchen, the sense of speed and power coexist. If he did not mention that the photographer was Shao Xingchen, he might think that he was the work of a professional photographer.
This time the response from the other person was very fast, just two simple words: "Yes."
That night, Su Zhe updated a set of photos of himself on the field on Weibo, with the caption: Thank you for your works, and recorded the moments worth cherishing on the field for me.
Weibo, which has not been open for a long time because of its focus on training competitions, has received an update. The philosophers and Su Zhe’s current sports fans are naturally very happy and they all lick and praise them under the Weibo.
Country D, after posting on Weibo and saying good night to Shao Xingchen, a hint of doubt flashed through Su Zhe's mind - Are the schedules of traffic like Shao Xingchen so relaxed? A job has been stranded in Country D for many days, and can you watch the game together?
However, this doubt flashed through, and soon Su Zhe temporarily put down the problem, turned to bed, began to enter the system training space, and began to try to improve his explosive power according to his training plan.
Whether in the 100-meter sprint event or the 110-meter hurdle event, compared with other strong players, his explosive power is much weaker. If he wants to further improve his strength, he cannot stop his explosive training.
Tomorrow's semi-finals will surely be a tough battle.
On October 5th, because it was Saturday, there were a large number of spectators who could come to watch the game, and the event schedule also reached a new peak.
The semi-finals and finals of the 110-meter hurdles were arranged on this day, at 10:40 am and 8:10 pm respectively.
After the preliminaries the day before, there were only 24 players left in 3 groups of 110m hurdles. Compared with the relatively easy promotion conditions in the preliminaries, it is much harder to advance from the semi-finals to the finals.
In the three groups of this semi-final, only the top two players in each group and the top two of the remaining players can advance to the finals. Judging from previous experience, only by running within 13.25 seconds can we reach the finals with confidence.
At 8 a.m. that day, the semi-finals grouping table had already reached Lu Fei's hands. Fortunately, Su Zhe and the other two were assigned to different groups, but from the grouping table alone, the combination of Ye Jun was basically sentenced to his hopeless advancement.
In the first group of the semi-finals where Ye Jun is in, there are famous American player Lister and Spanish player Alcides. In addition, Brazilian player Errano also belongs to this group. If there is no accident, the first group will eventually be a desperate battle between these three strong players.
Seeing Su Zhe and his men's worried expressions, Ye Jun patted their shoulders and smiled and said, "Okay, with my current results, it is already my luck to be able to reach the semi-finals. The burden of reaching the finals still depends on you both. You both have to work hard!"
Of course, Su Zhe and others understood Ye Jun's words. Not to mention Ye Jun, but they were the two of them, how easy would it be to make it to the finals?
Zhou Tianjue seemed not very adapted to this heavy atmosphere. He curled his lips and turned his head and said, "Wait, I'll see my performance later!"
When the 110-meter hurdles officially began, the first group stage of the semi-finals was just as expected before the game, a war between Lister and the other three.
In order to compete for the quota for the final final, these three famous players no longer retained their own strength. From the start of listening to the gun, they began an amazing competition without any slacking off.
In the commentary seat, Chris and Beerus couldn't help but exclaim that this was a final preview, and the battle between the three was no less exciting than the final.
Behind the three, other players were also struggling to catch up, but no new miracles appeared in this semi-final.
In the end, in the first group of the semi-finals in the 110-meter hurdles, Lister advanced to the first group with a time of 13.15, while Alcides advanced to the finals with a time of 13.18.
Ellano, who is third in the group, has an amazing result of 13.19 seconds. If we look at previous experience, this may even be the first in the semi-finals group, but in this terrible death group, he can only be temporarily decided as the third in the group.
Although Ye Jun was ranked fourth in the group in this semi-final and also broke through his personal PB, his 13.32-second score was almost impossible to advance to the final.
On the Internet in China, the sports fans who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help but sigh for Ye Jun, but his performance in this game was already very good, and everyone still applauded and shouted "Hello" with a slight regret.
Zhou Tianjue, who is in the second group of the semi-finals, has relatively average strength in the group. Although he has strong players, he is not a top-notch player like List who is likely to run within 13 seconds or 20 seconds at any time.
The strongest ones may be Louis who was originally from the United States, and then Zhou Tianjue himself and Adolf from the French team.
In this game, Zhou Tianjue ran very smoothly at the beginning of the competition.
After yesterday's preliminary round, when he was reviewing the game after the game, he revisited his state and seemed to have grasped his skills of running into 13.26 seconds.
In today's semi-finals, he tried to review the feelings he felt in the previous day's game. This short-term memory of on-the-spot memories allowed him to successfully find his state when he was the previous day. From the start to the crossing of the railing, the rhythm was very smooth, allowing him to successfully occupy the second place behind Louis, almost with a firm victory.
But there will always be unpredictable situations in the game.
Just as Su Zhe looked at the battle situation on the field and secretly cheered for Zhou Tianjue, he had already crossed the last railing and entered the final sprint stage. After Adolf, who had been running behind him, made a mistake in the sprint stage after he was hitting the 10th railing!
Adolf obviously also discovered his mistake, but it was too late for him to set the track. Because he was eager to set the track, Adolf lost control of his body. Finally, he rushed forward during the sprint and rushed straight behind Zhou Tianjue who had not yet run far ahead. When he fell and ran up, his left hand instinctively tried to hold onto the ground, but grabbed Zhou Tianjue's heels...!
"Zhou Tianjue!!"
Seeing Zhou Tianjue being grabbed by Adolf with his own eyes, Su Zhe's face changed. In the Chinese contestants area, Zheng Wensheng and Lu Fei, who were originally smiling, were shocked and stood up at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Tianjue, who was caught on the heel, fell forward hard because of his forward potential energy. In just a moment, his knees hit the ground, and his hands rubbed across the ground at the same time. His elbows were covered with red marks, and blood soon flowed out.
In the audience, after seeing such a scene, the exclamation suddenly echoed throughout the Cillion Stadium.
Adolf, a French player who threw down Zhou Tianjue, quickly got up first and helped Zhou Tianjue, who was knocked down by him, with apologetic expression.
After barely getting up, Zhou Tianjue looked at the finish line of the track with a look of reluctance. The player who was originally behind them had already run across the finish line near the second in the group as the second in the group.
The second group of the semi-finals ended the game with such a dramatic scene.
When Su Zhe appeared with the contestants in the last group of the semi-finals, Zhou Tianjue and others had already withdrawn from the stadium. In the entire stadium, many spectators were still whispering, discussing the regrettable accident not long ago.
The only thing that is thankful is that neither of the two contestants who fell did not seem to have been seriously injured, which can be regarded as a blessing in disgrace.
At this time, due to previous accidents, many players were watching each other, as if they were a little afraid of the other contestants around them.
After all, such accidents are not uncommon on the court. Once they happen to you, it will not only be invalidated in the game, but also have a greater impact on you due to injury.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the field became a little solidified.
Among the players who are in the third group of the semi-finals with Su Zhe, the most noteworthy one is Brazilian Gomez who has the ability to run into 13.20 seconds and French player Yu Bell who advanced to the finals in 13.25 seconds in the preliminary round.
In addition, Jamaican player Percival's strength cannot be underestimated. Who will eventually reach the final depends on his performance on the track later.
On the field, Su Zhe and the players completed their preparations in an oppressive atmosphere. When they looked up at the seat in the Chinese athletes' area, Su Zhe saw that in the athletes, in addition to the players, coaches and leaders of the Chinese track and field teams, there was also a guy wearing a baseball cap fiddling with the camera and the tripod.
Looking at the huge telephoto lens, Su Zhe smiled and waved at the contestant Xi, then focused all his attention on the game that was about to begin.
During the live broadcast, the referee's voice had already been heard.
“Each is in place.”
"preparation."
On the eight tracks, the contestants were ready to start the start and were waiting for the last gunshot!
"Bang!"
On the track, eight contestants moved in response.
But perhaps because of the unexpected incident of Adolf knocking down Zhou Tianjue in the last game, the players in this game seemed a little conservative and restrained in the initial stage.
Among them, the one who responded the fastest to the gun was French player Yu Bell, but his reaction time was 0.134 seconds, and he did not even break through the range of 0.12X seconds.
Su Zhe's response to the gun this time was not fast. The response to the gun of 0.141 seconds can only be considered a fair rule. It is difficult for him to compete for his advantage at the start in such a competition.
But the situation in this game is very special. There are many players in similar states. Even Gomez unexpectedly spent 0.152 seconds during the gun-response stage.
The moment he rushed forward with the starting device, Su Zhe finally stabilized all his mind. He temporarily left the unsuccessful state of listening to the gun, and tried hard to increase his explosive power, strengthen his strength and allow himself to move forward at a faster speed.
For Su Zhe, he already has relatively mature technology in the 110-meter hurdle. Whether it is the front-end running stage or the hurdle technology, it is not possible to achieve further improvement in a short period of time.
His biggest advantage is always in the running stage between the bars, controlling the running rhythm between the bars and maintaining the maximum speed of the bars. If he wants to improve his grades, what he needs to pay attention to is to make improvements in his weakest speed of the bars.
On the night before, he kept trying to improve his explosive power in the training space.
His overall column-division speed is the weakest stage in the sprint stage from the first column to the third column. Because during the acceleration of the starting and starting, his explosive power is not sufficient, which makes him need to accumulate strength in the first three columns and accumulate forward inertia and momentum so that he can gradually run to the highest speed in the subsequent schedule.
Regarding his question, Lu Fei also discussed with him during the training camp, but explosive training cannot be achieved overnight. If he forcibly increases his original explosive habits, he may suffer certain damage to himself.
Over the past period of time, in order to improve his control of explosive power, he has always insisted on finding a better balance point in the training space, until he finally made some improvements in the training last night.
On the field, Su Zhe's eyes were staring at the front railing. When he was eight steps in front of the railing, he began to subconsciously increase the explosive power of his strength, and at the same time control his stride and step angle. Through a little bit of explosive power improvement, he began to continue more strength for himself in the front railing stage.
When he came to the first railing, he kicked the ground with his right foot, and started his journey to face the track between railings with his own strength and the power accumulated in the front railing stage!
At this time, in the live broadcast room of domestic sports channels, countless sports enthusiasts were staring at Su Zhe's every move, for fear that Su Zhe would have any accidents and slowness on the track.
In just over ten seconds of the schedule, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
Mr. Zhe!
You must come on!!!
Carrying the last hope of the Chinese track and field team's hurdle group, Su Zhe looked at the finish line with exquisite technology, using the smallest hurdle amplitude to brush the stairs without colliding with the stairs.
This precise hurdle technique is no worse than the top players around. With the deliberately enhanced explosive power, Su Zhe has gradually regained the time he lost during the gun-response stage when he crossed the fourth hull!
