"Hello, audience friends, the upcoming competition is Group A of the men's 1000m short track speed skating finals."
"Three of our country's players, Li Yuang, Li Wenwu, and An Kai, have all advanced to the finals. So we can watch this game with a relatively relaxed attitude..."
"Yes, we can look forward to Li Yuang's third gold medal! In the men's 1500m and 500m events that were completed two days ago, Li Yuang fought alone in the finals and won two gold medals for the Chinese delegation!"
"And in this game, under the protection of Li Wenwu and An Kai, if there are no surprises, the gold medal will be won by the Chinese team again!"
As CCTV commentators, Liu Xingyu and Niu Yinhao are relatively conservative. They both agreed that the gold medal belongs to China, but they did not name Li Yuang!
No matter how many viewers are watching the live broadcast through the mobile app, Li Yuang enjoyed watching the competition in the previous two days. The gold medal in this competition must still belong to Li Yuang!
Seeing the two commentators saying this, they immediately made it clear through the barrage that Li Yuang had won three gold medals in a row!
Looking at the text on the barrage, Niu Yinhao agreed very much, but as a professional commentator, he can lean towards the Chinese team and not be too biased toward individuals.
Looking at the live broadcast, Niu Yinhao changed the subject with a smile: "Now is the entry stage for the players. We saw that at the entrance of the ice rink, the boys from the Chinese team were already waiting there, and the three Chinese red figures were particularly eye-catching!"
"As the Chinese boys came on stage, the venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers!"
…
On the ice rink, four players came to the starting line under the instructions of the starter.
Standing on the starting line, Li Yuang was also a little excited. The biggest test was coming! For Li Yuang, winning the gold medal at the Winter Games was not difficult. What was really difficult was the system side task of "taking the top three"!
With a sound of "Peng!", the game officially begins!
Li Junrui of the second course rushed out with a "swish"! According to coach Li Zaicheng's intention, he should preserve his strength in the first half of the race, but Li Junrui felt that it was better to take the initiative than to sit back and wait for death!
Just like Li Yuang said, only by playing a game without fear of injury can you defeat all opponents! Including Li Yuang!
Li Junrui subconsciously glanced at the inner road, wanting to see how Li Yuang was held at the back.
He felt his eyes go dark, and a red figure passed by his inner passage...
"Li Junrui fought very hard at the start...The Korean team's tactic is to rush to the start?"
Before Liu Xingyu could finish speaking, Niu Yinhao interjected: "Li Yuang! Beautiful! His reaction at the start was obviously slow, but Li Yuang still relied on his excellent explosive power to overtake Li Junrui before entering the corner!"
"Li Yuang! He was the first to enter the corner! This has never happened before in a 1,000-meter race!"
…
On the sidelines, players and coaches from all over the world were all stunned!
Is it really Li Yuang who took the first place on the field?
Is this guy serious? Is he going to open it up... ready to overwhelm the opponent?
No, there are two Chinese players competing in the same field... Are you going crazy and torturing your own teammates?
Li Yuang's uncharacteristic performance made the dull venue noisy again... The audience wanted to see Li Yuang win the game like yesterday's 500-meter final with zero skating.
Athletes and coaches from all over the world have changed their lazy ways and are watching the competition with serious faces. They are all curious about how fast the world record holder in the 1000-meter event can go when he explodes with all his strength!
After all, Li Yuang’s style is too stubborn. It is really difficult to see him get the start in the middle and long distance events!
Only the head coach of the South Korean team, Lee Jae-sung, was in a panic... All his tactical arrangements before the game were based on Lee Woo-ang's straightforward start.
In other words, Li Yuang's early start directly shattered the Korean coaching staff's tactics, and it was still a piecemeal one...
In the Chinese team's rest area on the sidelines, the Chinese coaching staff all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Li Yuang start the game!
This kid finally followed the tactics! Before the game, the Chinese coaching staff made many deductions based on big data. Only Li Yuang protecting the skates can the Chinese short track speed skating team maximize its interests!
Even without big data deduction, the Chinese coaching staff all knew the result, but no one wanted to say it.
Whether it is Li Wenwu or An Kai, neither of them is sure to control Li Junrui. Even if they join forces, they cannot guarantee to stabilize Li Junrui...
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Li Yuang's protection is the most reasonable tactic! The only question is whether Li Yuang will agree... Although in previous games, Li Yuang promised to protect his teammates in the semifinals.
But can the semifinals and finals be compared?
Letting core players protect other players is a crazy move that has never been seen in the history of short track speed skating!
Li Yuang has won two gold medals in a row. As long as he wins this gold medal, he can win three individual gold medals. Is such a temptation really easy to give up?
What's more, in the next event, the men's 5000-meter relay final, the Chinese team still has hope of winning the gold... Once he wins the gold, Li Yuang will create a feat of winning gold in all events!
…
On the ice rink, Li Junrui quickly adjusted his mentality!
Li Yuang's skating method to grab the start was indeed beyond his expectation. Maybe it was because he had competed with Li Yuang too many times and had seen many scenes, or maybe he was used to losing... In short, Li Yuang's overtaking of Li Junrui at the start did not cause him to panic, but Li Junrui
Calm down more and more!
No matter what the pre-game plan was, Li Junrui just wants to skate according to his own ideas now!
"Li Yuang accelerated his external skate... Li Junrui behind him also..."
"Li Junrui didn't skate outside, he kicked the ice on the inside! Did he want to take advantage of Li Yuang's speed before he could pick up the speed to complete the overtake?"
"The race started from the first corner... no, it should have been full of gunpowder from the start!"
On the ice rink, Li Yuang saw Li Junrui choose to turn inside, and immediately pushed towards him on the ice. His task in this game was not to rush for gold, but to protect the skates!
As a skater, he doesn't need to slow down his speed. He just needs to control Li Junrui's speed and make Li Junrui skate awkwardly.
I saw Li Yuang stabbing twice and then kicking out his right foot diagonally, cutting directly in front of Li Junrui!
Li Junrui was startled at first, then secretly complained: Is this an incision? This is too early!
No! We’ve just come out of the bend, so we’re cutting!
This is... line control?!
A drop of cold sweat slipped from Li Junrui's forehead and fell on his goggles... He had just calmed down before exiting the corner and panicked. Li Yuang protected the slide. How could this be possible?
In a daze, Li Wenwu and An Kai passed directly from the outer lane and then cut inside to enter the corner...
Now, everyone was dumbfounded!
How can anyone lead the whole race and win the championship? How can there be an all-out effort?
From the beginning, Li Yuang did not aim to win the gold medal. His purpose was to protect the other two skaters!
No one expected that the Chinese coaching staff would dare to ask Li Yuang to protect the skates! What was even more unexpected was that Li Yuang actually agreed!
