Andre knew that his 14-year-old self could never be Li Yuang's opponent in terms of physical confrontation. The event he originally wanted to compete with Li Yuang was a seven-lap pursuit race!
But when Li Yuang said this, the plan was completely disrupted.
"Andre, since you chose PK, it's a showdown between men! The challenger decides to challenge the project and the rules, which is fair!" Li Yuang explained when he saw Andre's hesitation.
"That's right! As the challenged person, it is your right to decide to challenge the projects and rules." Andre was a little flattered by Li Yuang's words. For the first time, he felt respected and valued.
"Then let's compete in a seven-lap pursuit! Judging from your age, you are two years younger than me, and I won't bully you. We don't care who has a shorter time. If I catch up with you within seven laps, I win.
Otherwise, you win!"
"Can!"
Great! Just what I want! I will never lose!
Andre's excitement was palpable, and everyone could hear the joy in his voice.
In the pursuit race, two players start from the center line of the two straights respectively. There is no physical confrontation. They purely compete for speed and are ranked according to their results.
Compared with single-person timing, the pursuit race has a more competitive atmosphere and can better reflect the true strength of athletes in competition! It is generally used to test the absolute speed of athletes in a non-confrontational state and the ability to lead after taking the lead!
Although the pursuit race is not an Olympic event, many domestic selection assessments still use the pursuit race, which is generally divided into four laps, seven laps, and nine laps.
What Chinese ice fans have the deepest impression of pursuit matches is probably the 2014 short track speed skating national team pursuit match!
Before the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, Li Yan organized a men's and women's chasing competition within the team in order to improve the team's performance. When it was Wang Meng's turn, there were some problems on the ice after the skaters in front finished skating, so Wang Meng suggested not to go on the ice.
Bing and Li Yan insisted on continuing training, but an accident occurred and Wang Meng was seriously injured and retired.
Wang Meng once said in a recent interview that if he had not retired too early due to injuries, he would have at least 10 Olympic gold medals in hand!
Now the performance of female athletes has only caught up with Wang Meng's performance back then. From 2014 to 2022, the ice surface, skates, and protective gear have all been improved in the past eight years. If Wang Meng can really skate until 2022, she will definitely be a Winter Olympics
The most handsome guy in the game!
On the ice rink, Li Yuang and Andre stood on the center line of the two straight lanes, taking starting positions.
"Peng!" The game started, and both of them rushed towards the Li Xian Arrow!
"An, how responsive is Andre at starting?" Wang Meng asked.
Li Yuang's starting reaction is not the best, but he never gives people the feeling of being slow.
But just now, two people who were not on the same starting line started at the same time. Wang Meng could clearly feel that Andre's starting reaction time was shorter!
A normal person's starting reaction is about 0.2 seconds or more. Athletes who have undergone long-term training can control the time within 0.3 seconds.
Reading Network
Li Yuang's starting reaction time is about 0.14 seconds. Considering that it is not a regular competition and his energy is not so concentrated, Li Yuang's starting reaction time should be within 0.16 seconds.
What about Andre?
"About 0.12 seconds, maybe this is the child's talent." Ahn Hyun-soo replied.
Wang Meng also didn’t expect Andre’s starting reaction to be so fast. In the short track speed skating event, the starting reaction is not as important as the 100-meter trapeze. For the 500-meter short track speed skating event, quick starting reaction is still an important factor.
an advantage.
Wu Dajing changed his starting posture from "T-shaped" to "lateral parallel" because of his quick reaction at the start. After being criticized by the referee for often being given false starts, he changed his starting posture from "T-shaped" to "lateral parallel". In terms of reaction time, the lateral parallel style is comparable to T-shaped.
It was much slower, but Wu Dajing was still sentenced to false start, which shows how fast his reaction was!
The two people passed the first corner at the same time. Li Yuang skated with his hands behind his back. He didn't touch the ice. He wasn't pretending, it was just a habit!
After exiting the corner, the two of them increased their speed at the same time and sprinted with all their strength!
Li Yuang entered the second corner first, tilting his center of gravity to the left, pressing his right shoulder, and supporting it with his left hip. When exiting the corner, he followed his center of gravity and accelerated with the trend.
"Bang", "bang", "bang" three times in a row, Li Yuang reached full speed in an instant...
"Li Yuang's second lap was 8 seconds and 10 seconds, right?" Wang Meng asked from the sidelines.
"8 seconds 13 is not his limit yet!" Xiao Lijun, holding a stopwatch, replied.
As the head coach of the second team, this exchange event was originally not Xiao Lijun’s turn. However, among the four athletes of the short track speed skating team, three were from the second team, and the remaining Li Yuang was also taught by him in the second team.
.
As the head of the ice sports with a heavy responsibility, Wang Meng cannot devote all his time to short track speed skating. Therefore, Xiao Lijun was recommended by Wang Meng as the short track speed skating coach for this exchange group.
On the field, Li Yuang sprinted with all his strength! Every time he came out of a corner, he reached full speed. The distance between him and Andre was shortening visibly to the naked eye.
"Ula..."
"Ula..."
Andre's teammates are supporting Andre in their own way.
After five laps, when Li Yuang was about to catch up with Andre, Li Yuang actually slowed down!
"Li Yuang has slowed down!" Xiao Lijun said.
"Well, the game is over."
On the court, Andre was very focused on skating. He knew that he was no match for Li Yuang. He just wanted to finish his game and not be overtaken by Li Yuang before finishing the game.
At first, he could still see Li Yuang within his field of vision. Soon, he could no longer see Li Yuang!
Andre knew that the gap between him and Li Yuang was shortening!
He didn't dare to look back, he was worried that turning around would affect his speed, so he could only skate on the ice with all his strength...
Are you about to catch up?
On the fifth lap, amid the exclamations of the crowd, Andre clearly felt pressure coming from behind him. He knew that Li Yuang was already behind him!
No! It can’t end like this!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Andre squeezed his legs desperately and could not lose!
"Andre seems to be skating faster!"
"Yes, how fast was this lap just now?"
"He slid in for 9 seconds!"
…
Got rid of it?
During everyone's discussion, Andre passed the curve again and felt that the pressure behind him disappeared.
He didn't dare to relax and could only keep sprinting!
When Andre crossed the center line of the straight at high speed, warm applause erupted in the ice arena. Only then did he know that it was over!
The pressure just disappeared, not because he got rid of Li Yuang, but because Li Yuang had already completed seven laps!
"Xu..."
Finally not caught up!
"you win!"
"Congratulations, Andre! You made it to 9 seconds."
Teammates from the Vulcan Club gathered around to celebrate Andre setting his best lap time.
…
"Li Yuangxi, thank you."
"It doesn't matter, winning or losing is not that important to me."
It really doesn't matter, because just now...the system prompt sounded...

Congratulations on the book’s sales exceeding 200 orders!!
This result may not be as good as other people's debut results, but for Xia Yu, seeing the average price rising every day, she knows that more and more book friends like this book.
Xia Yu is already considering ordering 200 extra updates, but with more than 200,000 words written in this book, Xia Yu has also encountered her own "rookie wall". Although she has an outline, she is always dissatisfied with the details. Xia Yu is working hard to break through.
...if the order exceeds 200, I owe you first... Xia Yu will definitely make up for it if she is in good condition!
For you, Xia Yu will work hard to break the shackles and write better stories!
I saw several book friends in the comment area saying that they would support it by ordering it all! Thank you for your love.
