"There seems to be something wrong with Liu Long's mentality. Is he a little depressed after being targeted?" Wang Meng asked.
"It's still the same as before, too anxious." Li Yan said.
"Before? Did you mean that trial match?"
July 2016, Yunnan Ice Sports Training Base.
In the men's trials for the first team of the Chinese short track speed skating team, after all the tests, Liu Long's results were slightly better, but overall, Liu Long, Li Yuang, and Li Wenwu had similar results. When everyone was discussing the issue of quota allocation, Xiao Lijun
It is proposed to run an extra round of 1,000 meters to test their ability to cope with unexpected situations and withstand pressure.
As for why there is a 1000m extra race, it is also based on the main events of the three people. Li Yuang mainly focuses on the 500m and 1000m; Liu Long and Li Wenwu both focus on the 1000m and 1500m. Only the 1000m extra race is important to them.
It is relatively fair to use three.
"Bang!" sounded, and the playoff began.
Li Yuang took advantage of his explosive power and took the first place, while Li Wenwu and Liu Long ranked second and third.
Although the coaching staff did not say it clearly, they were only given three extra games, which already shows that this game is directly related to the issue of first-team quota.
No, you can't keep following them. You have to overtake and move to the next position as soon as possible in order to take the initiative in the game.
Thinking of this, Liu Long directly increased his speed and surpassed Li Yuang and Li Wenwu in succession. They both let go without any obstruction.
The three of them are very familiar with each other. Li Yuang and Li Wenwu are very confident that this transcendence will not have any impact on the results. With Liu Long's current ability, he cannot crush their strength.
Short track speed skating is 1000 meters, and there are 9 laps in total. There is no need to rush at the beginning, so although Li Yuang is in first place, he has no idea of holding on to the first place. Sprinting at the start is just a conditioned reflex, so after grabbing the first place
After that, he immediately suppressed his speed, hoping that someone would quickly overtake him. He could hide behind others and wait until the end to exert his strength.
In the 500-meter short track speed skating competition, everyone will rush to the start, grab the first place to occupy the inner lane, and skate closely on the inner lane. When there is not much difference in strength, whoever grabs the first place at the start will basically be sure to win the championship.
The situation is different in middle- and long-distance races over 1,000 meters. It is almost impossible for a skater in the leading position to get first place. The skaters tend to retain their strength in the early stages and only accelerate in the last few laps.
If this was normal, Liu Long would naturally understand what was going on. It's just that he paid too much attention to this selection. He was a little unbalanced in his anxiety and couldn't think so carefully.
On the fifth lap of the race, Li Wenwu overtook Li Yuang from the outside and directly challenged Liu Long, intending to go inside when entering the corner to complete the overtaking.
Liu Long guarded the inside and did not give Li Wenwu a chance. Li Wenwu failed to overtake. But he did not give up, followed Liu Long closely and continued to exert pressure.
Li Yuang still followed suit leisurely, not in a hurry to overtake, and the distance from the front was not widened.
Li Yuang's calm performance attracted the attention of head coach Li Yan. How can a 14-year-old child have such a good mentality? Either he has a big heart, or he has no sense of competition. Is it possible for a 14-year-old to slip into the national first team selection without a sense of competition?
On the 7th lap of the race, Liu Long and Li Wenwu were still entangled. When they entered the corner, their speed was very fast, which caused the centrifugal force to increase. The cornering was not done well, and a gap appeared on the inside.
Opportunity! Li Yuang seized the opportunity and kicked off the ice to overtake the two of them from the inside, switching directly to one position.
Beautiful! Li Yan couldn't help but admire in her heart. In terms of mentality, route, technique and ability to seize opportunities, Li Yuang is already the top player among the players in the same period. Especially his mentality and absolute big heart. The greater the pressure, the more stable his performance.
.
With two laps left, everyone thought that Li Yuang would try his best to hold on to his advantage and prevent them from overtaking. But the situation on the field made them wonder, what kind of mysterious operation is this?
After Li Yuang completed his overtaking, he did not block Liu Long's route. He only guarded the inside, forcing Liu Long to overtake from the outside. However, when Li Wenwu was about to overtake, Li Yuang took the initiative to release the inside channel, allowing Li Wenwu to pass through him.
Complete the overtaking on the inside.
Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but light up!
What a boy! You really dare to play! This is deliberately letting Liu Long pass from the outside to consume his energy. Let Li Wenwu pass from the inside, conserving his energy and then tangling with Liu Long. This is a wishful thinking. How the fight goes depends on the final outcome.
The result.
At the penultimate corner of the last lap, Li Wenwu completed his overtaking of Liu Long. At this time, their physical strength was almost exhausted. Liu Long could no longer complete the overtaking on the outer lane, and Li Wenwu could basically win the race as long as he held on to the inner lane.
.
Coming out of the corner, Li Yuang increased the speed in a straight line and pushed on the ice to increase speed.
At the last corner, when Li Wenwu and Liu Long were fighting for the inner lane, Li Yuang made a big turn and planned to overtake from the outside.
Li Wenwu was startled and quickly moved to the outside, forcing Li Yuang to rush to the outside when exiting the corner.
Liu Long desperately squeezed his physical strength, pedaled on the ice to accelerate, and made a last ditch effort. Although Li Yuang was faster, he had the longest skating distance. As a result, the three of them were almost on the same line.
Before the finish line, the three of them rushed to cross the line...
At the end of the game, the coaching staff did not announce the results. They just gave Li Yuang a spot in the first team after discussion.
From then on, Liu Long believed that Li Yuang could not win with force. If he hadn't wasted too much energy on Li Wenwu, how could he let Li Yuang win the game! He even thought that they had agreed that one of them would use up his energy while the other rushed.
Line. It’s just that I am relatively strong, which makes the competition extremely fierce.
…
Soon after 30 laps of skating, the warm-up was over. Liu Long was suppressed during the last 9 laps of the warm-up. The three of them always skated at the back of the team without affecting other team members.
There's no other way, don't take it too easy when two against one.
Liu Long glared at Li Yuang and Li Wenwu fiercely. The scene of being suppressed just now made Liu Long a little embarrassed. Anyone who was suppressed in the first training would feel unhappy.
Li Yuang ignored Liu Long, looked up and saw executive coach Yang Zhenyu and Wang Meng coming together, and quickly asked: "Auntie, why are you here?"
"Hey, little carp, you have to call me Coach Wang now. From the beginning, I will be your exclusive coach. From now on, you will call me Coach Wang in training and games."
No, my aunt will be responsible for my training from now on? Are you going to let me live?
Li Yuang looked at Yang Zhenyu in disbelief, and Yang Zhenyu nodded with a smile.
"Carp, check your aunt's dialog box quickly. I have a hunch that she must have ordinary skills. Your skill Zhan Zhan card will finally be useful."
At this moment, Dundun's voice sounded in Li Yuang's consciousness space.
