"Dear viewers, what is about to be held is the men's 5000-meter relay final. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team advanced to second place in the group!"
"In the just-concluded women's relay final, the host Russian team won the championship with a time of 4:14.105. The Japanese team and the Kazakhstan team won the silver and bronze medals respectively."
"The much-anticipated Korean female catcher, although she crossed the line first in the competition, was eventually disqualified by the referee due to a foul."
"Now it's a simple entrance ceremony. The first one to enter the ice rink is the Korean team. They skated in the semi-finals with a time of 6 minutes, 56 seconds and 152 seconds and advanced to the finals of Group A as the first in Group 1! The four skaters are Li Junrui.
, Park Ji-won, Lee Sung-hoon and Kim Gun-woo. Among them, Kim Gun-woo came on as a substitute for Hong Kyung-hwan."
"The second team to enter was the Japanese team. They skated 6:57.692 in the semi-finals and advanced to the final group A as the second place in Group 1. The four players were Kiichi Moriguchi, Shogo Miyata, and Kazunari Matsumoto.
, Kotaro Kasahara.”
"The camera showed the third host team, Russia, to enter the scene, and the scene burst into warm applause! They skated 7 minutes, 08 seconds and 488 seconds in the semi-finals and advanced to the final group A as the first in Group 2. Four players
They are Leonid, Yinfriyev, Denis, and Yinimov."
"Okay, the last one to appear is the Chinese team. You can see that the four young men are in good spirits. They are greeting the audience in front of the TV! Since the Chinese team only skated 7 minutes, 09 seconds and 488 in the semi-finals, the Chinese team
Will start on lane 4!"
"We saw some changes in the Chinese team's lineup in this final, with Zou Yuchen playing instead of Blue and White."
"This is also the habit of the Chinese short track speed skating team, which is to try to have as many skaters on the field as possible in team events."
…
On the ice rink, Li Yuang saw that Zou Yuchen's body was a little tight, so he quickly stepped forward and gave Zou Yuchen a horse-killing chicken trick.
"Yuchen, don't be nervous! Just follow the plan and just show your usual training results!"
Zou Yuchen replied slightly nervously: "I...I'm fine..."
This competition has been simulated many times during closed training. But it was a simulation after all, not the real final!
Who would have thought that before the relay final started, Li Yuang would win all the individual gold medals by himself? And the three main players also won all the gold medals in the just-concluded 1000-meter final?
Invisibly, the entire short track speed skating coaching staff, including Tian Wenjun, believed that the Chinese team should win this relay gold medal!
This put a lot of pressure on Zou Yuchen!
The game is about to start, and Li Yuang doesn't have much to say. Fortunately, he and Li Wenwu appear at the same time in this game. As long as there are no major mistakes, winning should not be a problem!
"Go to the start."
After hearing the starter's voice, Li Yuang stood on the starting line. The runners from the other three countries all looked at Li Yuang in disbelief!
No one expected that in the relay final, the Chinese team would have a substitution!
This change caught other teams off guard, especially the Korean team. In this 5,000-meter relay final, if nothing else, the Chinese team and the Korean team will compete for the gold medal.
Lee Jae-sung of the South Korean team even tacitly acknowledged that Lee Woo-ang can slide the sprint stick, so Park Ji-won, who has one stick, must establish a lead at the start! Try to widen the distance with the Chinese team as much as possible!
Now, let alone widening the distance, whether you can win at the start is still a question!
"We saw that the Chinese team's first stick was Li Yuang. This is an adjustment! In the semifinals, the Chinese team's first stick was Li Wenwu, and the second stick, the sprint stick, was Li Yuang!"
"Considering that the Chinese team will start in four lanes and let Li Yuang slide the stick, there is no problem with this adjustment. But in this case, does the sprint stick have to be given to Li Wenwu?"
In the live broadcast room, Liu Xingyu said worriedly. In the relay races he narrated, Li Wenwu also performed very well. But the sprinter of the Chinese team is not Li Yuang, so he always feels unsure.
On the ice rink, Li Yuang was used to this weird look. Skating in the final was not a temporary decision, but a plan made by the Chinese coaching staff early on.
If this were the World Championships or the Winter Olympics, the top national team lineup would include Wuhan University, and Li Yuang would just have to prepare the sprint stick. Unfortunately, in the Winter Games, the Chinese team's personnel configuration is at best mediocre.
As for the middle match, there is no player in this team who is qualified for the top spot.
Therefore, in the finals, Li Yuang skated one stick to try to establish a lead at the start, and later switched to the sprint stick with Li Wenwu depending on the situation! This was a plan prepared by the Chinese coaching staff in advance.
It's just that the Chinese team performed abnormally in the semi-finals, causing the Chinese team to start in four lanes in the final, which made this plan look more targeted.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Ready?"
"Peng!" The game begins!
Li Yuang rushed out immediately. If he wanted to establish the lead in the first bat, he had to grab the start!
Li Yuang was already very fast, but Park Zhiyuan was faster than him! While cutting inside, Li Yuang noticed that Park Zhiyuan was obviously ahead of him, so he consciously conserved his energy and slowed down.
He was very confident in his start. Even if he took advantage of the track position, Park Zhiyuan would not be so far ahead. It was most likely due to a false start.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yuang entered the corner, he heard the starter signaling that someone had jumped the gun and started a rematch.
Park Zhiyuan, who had already exited the corner, put his hands on his hips and stomped on the ice in frustration.
Park Zhiyuan swore to God that he really didn't want to run away this time! He was just too nervous just now. From the first day of competition to now, Li Yuang's invincible image has been firmly engraved in his heart.
When he saw Li Yuang about to slide his stick, he panicked and mistook the whistle from the audience for the gunshot in the hands of the referee!
Returning to the starting line... For the second shot, the four of them were much more cautious. No one dared to run away from the gun. Li Yuang was the first to enter the corner with his excellent reaction and explosive power.
Park Ji-won entered the corner second by taking advantage of his lap time, and Yinfriyev surpassed Shogo Miyata and entered the corner third.
…
On the sidelines, the head coach of the South Korean team, Lee Jae-sung, held his head in his hands and was full of regrets! A great start was ruined by Park Ji-won. If he had known better, he should have adjusted the order of taking over and replaced someone with a slide!
Seeing Li Yuang leading the field, Li Zaicheng began to admire the Chinese team coach... In today's game, whether he let Li Yuang protect the skate or let Li Yuang slide the stick, it was a very successful tactic.
He didn't expect that Wang Meng would change his career to become a coach and be so successful.
Li Zaicheng looked towards the Chinese team's dugout. The first thing he saw was not Wang Meng, but Jin Shantai behind Wang Meng.
He had already noticed Jin Shantai in the previous game, but he felt that it was very embarrassing for the former South Korean national team coach to come to the Chinese team in the winter, and Jin Shantai's status was completely different from that of himself, the South Korean team's head coach.
On one level, I subconsciously ignored Jin Shantai.
When he saw Kim Sun-tae again, he realized that with Kim Sun-tae assisting him on the left, it was natural for Wang Meng to tactically restrain the Korean team!
