Chapter 1823 This is the showdown that should have occurred in the Bird's Nest four years ago
Despite many unfavorable circumstances, Merritt was still able to run within 12.95 seconds.
This shocking feeling made Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang understand once again before the game why Su Shen asked them to pay special attention to this American athlete this season.
This strength...
Even Liu Xiang is at his peak.
I'm afraid it doesn't have the staying power of a pair of guns like his.
At least the ultimate dual-gun capability.
Liu Xiang is not as good as Merritt.
Liu Xiang, who grew up in a traditional system environment, usually only has the ability to explode with one shot. Liu Xiang himself knows this, and Sun Haiping also knows it.
I thought it was impossible to enter the 13 seconds consecutively, and few people in history could do it. Who knew that this year's American representative player, not to mention Merritt, Richardson could do it.
Under great pressure, everyone ignored...
Xie Wenjun was still inside this shot.
Yang Jian was also frightened.
Li Tao was also in a daze.
This result really made them doubt their eyes for the first time.
Except for Merritt who was first with 12.94s.
The second is Ryan Brathwaite. This world championship medalist is vulnerable to him. In fact, generally speaking, 13.23 seconds in the semifinals is not bad, but who asked him to be paired with Merritt?
Merritt this year is really too exaggerated.
Ryan Bratwitt himself was a little dumbfounded by the scene just now. After running, he immediately looked back at the playback on the big screen above his head, and then he was sure that he was not mistaken...
Merritt really hit the railing just now.
But he is also really... striking after the fact.
It was not affected at all.
This state...
so horrible.
This is how OW medal-level players like Ryan Bratwitt view Merritt, and the rest of the people now see Merritt running out of this shot...
My heart is full of turmoil.
The gaming company also quickly adjusted the odds based on this. Although Merritt was originally ranked first and beat Liu Xiang, the odds of the first place can still continue to improve, and continue to increase on the original odds.
high.
After Merritt's shot, it was completely proven to the whole world——
Although I am a late bloomer.
But the strength has definitely reached the strongest level in history.
"My shot was actually not good enough, but fortunately, I still got a good result of 12.94 seconds."
"I admit that I was a little nervous at first, but fortunately I quickly adjusted and the hurdles problem was not a big deal. Doesn't Alan Johnson often hurdles? This did not affect his performance in the 110-meter hurdles event at all.
The greatness of the world.”
"Yes, I feel that my physical condition is very good and I am at the peak of my life. I am now looking forward to having an opponent who allows me to give it a try."
"There is no doubt that the most suitable person for this opponent is...Liu."
"Only world record holders and Olympic record holders can make me feel the strongest excitement."
"So Liu..."
"See you in the finals."
As he spoke, he showed his iconic big white teeth, said "hey" twice to the camera, and started walking into the athletes' tunnel.
Merritt really liked Liu Xiang and wanted to take Liu Xiang down with his own hands.
Otherwise, don't go to the United States to become an idol.
Seriously, the person down there who likes you...
Everyone regards you as a target.
The third is...
Xie Wenjun.
In fact, there is nothing surprising about this, because the third person in this shot in the previous life was originally... Xie Wenjun.
He has been receiving traditional training in his previous life, and he has the ability to reach third place. He has been training on Ersha Island for three or four years...
There is no reason to say that my grades are worse than at this time in my last life.
That can only be better.
Xie Wenjun used all his energy with this shot.
He just treated the semi-finals as the finals and ran here.
Because this is his first time participating in the Olympics, he doesn’t need to think too much. Being able to enter the finals is the biggest victory.
In order to achieve this goal, we will go all out in the semifinals.
It's a good decision.
Even if everyone's eyes are focused on Merritt's exaggerated performance, no matter how bad it is, it will also be on Ryan Bratwitt, who is not that big of a difference in ability from Merritt.
Although Xie Wenjun was third in this event, very few eyes were given to him. He was the least significant third place in the 110-meter hurdles this time.
"The third place is...our Chinese player Xie Wenjun!"
Seeing the five-star red flag following the third result, Yang Jian immediately said: "Xie Wenjun 13.24!"
"Xie Wenjun 13.24s, third in the group!"
"Looking at it this way, he is also very hopeful to enter the final. He has already surpassed the third place in the previous group, which is Lawrence Clark's 13.31s."
"As long as the third and fourth groups in the next group do not all run over 13.24 seconds, then Xie Wenjun will successfully advance to the finals. It is his first time participating in the Olympics to enter the finals. This is already very impressive for a young athlete.
results."
"That's for sure." Li Tao also said: "This shows that he does not have many psychological factors affecting the Olympics and can give full play to himself."
"This alone is something that many domestic athletes cannot do."
yes.
once Upon a time.
The most difficult thing for our domestic athletes to do.
It's like being in the track and field competition of the Olympic Games.
Use yourself.
Now.
It seems like this curse has finally been broken.
Not just sprinting.
110m hurdles.
This seems to be the case too.
These are all absolute benefits.
Xie Wenjun himself felt excited. Being able to make this shot at the Olympics already made him feel very satisfied. As for whether he can enter the finals, it is completely up to God.
Anyway, this is his own piece.
Do your best.
It’s already been done.
If you still can't get in after 13 seconds.
Then you can only admit defeat.
But while he was excited, he suddenly thought of what Su Shen said to him before the game...
These people are not necessarily in good condition.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Don't think they are better than you in PB, but it is hard to say whether they can perform well.
The biggest basic attribute of our Ersha Island is stability.
You just need to do your own thing, and don't worry about what other people do.
It may seem that these words are not that big of a deal when taken apart. But when they are all put together, they play a huge guiding role in the direction of the entire game.
Xie Wenjun found that after washing, the trend was exactly as Su Shen said. And he followed what he said and only paid attention to the rhythm of his shot, but he turned the disadvantage of the seventh pass into an advantage.
And these are all things that Su Shen said in one sentence.
If you don't think about it.
You may think it’s just a few words of advice from seniors before the game.
But when you put them together, Xie Wenjun finally understood it on a deeper level...
Why do these people admire Su Shen so much?
Why can Su Shen at this age have such authority on Ersha Island, the holy land of domestic track and field circles?
that's it.
Can an ordinary coach do it?
Don't call me an ordinary coach.
Now Sun Haiping is the best coach in Asia, and Xie Wenjun is also very lucky to be under his disciple. But to say something a bit unethical——
He now feels that even if it is Sun Haiping.
It is also impossible to give him such precise temporary guidance before the game.
No wonder people on Ersha Island say that the strongest thing about Su Shen is not his body, but his head.
Now Xie Wenjun feels it more deeply.
Host country Andrew Turner was fourth with a time of 13.42.
Fifth place was Selim Nuruddin, whose time was 13.55 seconds.
The sixth place was Dimitri Basku, his score was also 13.55, and he lost to Nuruddin above by 1,000 points.
But there is no need to compete with this thousand points.
I can't even make it to the semi-finals anyway.
Seventh is Paulo Cesar Villar with a time of 13.63s.
The eighth place is Konstantin Shabanov with a time of 13.65s.
…
At this time, the English broadcast on the electronic radio again reminded me of the strong London accent:
"Please prepare the players from Group 3 of the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals."
Hear this.
Liu Xiang pushed the ground with both hands to support himself up. After checking, the row behind him was ready to stand with the staff in the third group.
At this time, Liu Xiang happened to catch Sun Haiping's expression. Sun Haiping's expression was now very stiff, full of worry.
When Liu Xiang saw this, he suddenly turned his head, waved to Sun Haiping, and said: "Master, don't be stunned, hurry up and watch my performance outside."
"Watching it on TV is not as comfortable as watching it directly from outside."
Sun Haiping heard this.
He didn't expect that Liu Xiang would comfort him at this time. He suddenly felt that he had neglected his duty as a coach, because at this time, as a coach who did not have to play...
He should comfort Liu Xiang in this regard.
result.
Sun Haiping still had nothing to say when facing Liu Xiang. He patted his cheeks hard and said to Liu Xiang: "Okay, I will go outside to see you and Wenjun successfully meet up."
"Come on, Axiang."
Originally, Sun Haiping wanted to give a warning.
Ask Liu Xiang to pay attention to his injured leg.
But when the words came to his lips, he suppressed the thought again.
Because saying this at this time will actually affect the morale and morale of the military.
It is very possible that the thoughts that Liu Xiang had just pushed away would be brought back by him after he had done some mental construction.
Thinking of this, Sun Haiping said nothing, turned around and left. Of course, when he walked out of the waiting area, he immediately turned around and asked the two team doctors and physical therapists around him, what is Liu Xiang's physical condition now?
Is there any problem waiting for the semi-finals?
When I asked this question, both the team doctor and the physical therapist looked embarrassed.
Look at each other.
None of the three people gave an answer at the first time.
Because they have been helping Liu Xiang relax and activate before the game, they are most aware of Liu Xiang's current physical condition.
Nothing else can be said.
There aren't many problems with other muscles, just around his injured leg...
Compared with the preliminaries, there have been obvious muscle reactions of varying degrees.
Especially the trigger point pain gets worse.
The muscles in the Achilles tendon have become over-stretched and over-stretched.
In fact, they don't know how long they can last.
Liu Xiang has been crazy about increasing his training intensity in the past two months, especially in the past month, which has been a life-threatening increase in capacity.
This will be replaced by Liu Xiang from the previous life.
It's long gone.
My body simply can't hold on now.
In other words, Su Shen helped Liu Xiang re-build his deep muscle system in the past four years. In addition, he arranged for Liu Xiang to go out for Achilles tendon surgery early, so the recovery time was longer.
The combination of these factors gave Liu Xiang the capital to survive until now.
However, this capital does not mean that it will never end.
There is still an end.
Now he has been pushed to the end by Liu Xiang.
Merritt put too much pressure on me.
From Liu Xiang’s perspective...
If he didn't do this, he might not have enough confidence to fight Merritt. Then this is no joke. With this shot, Merritt had opened 12 consecutive shots four or five times in more than 20 days.
Within 95 seconds.
What intensity is this?
When this intensity comes, don't talk about Liu Xiang.
Which short-span master in history was not afraid to see it?
It's normal to be afraid.
To have no fear at all is to be ignorant.
Know your fear, then quickly realize your shame and then be brave, stimulating yourself to improve your state, this is what Liu Xiang is doing now.
And he believes that he has already maximized the training intensity and training capacity that he can currently achieve.
This is already the best state he can produce when facing Merritt.
In fact, Liu Xiang originally thought that he should be evenly matched with him.
Especially after this period of time, after the desperate increase in strength and capacity, I should be able to compete with him 50-50. But in the semi-finals...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s still the self-feeling that Liu Xiang finally trained back.
It was smashed to pieces.
Although I don't want to admit it.
But now there is a problem that you must face.
That's Merritt right now.
It's very possible that his condition has surpassed his own.
Even my peak self, my young and healthy self.
They were all surpassed by him.
You may not even be able to win against him.
This is why Liu Xiang's smile disappeared and his face darkened the moment he turned around after talking to Sun Haiping.
Not to mention.
Before he faced Merritt.
We have to have a shot at the defending champion Dairon Robles first.
Liu Xiang doesn’t know what kind of condition Robles is in right now. So they speculate that Robles must be absent from these international games or refuse them. There must be some personal reasons. It’s not as simple as what the Cuban shoes say.
.
But what if someone just sets off smoke bombs?
You can't help but consider this possibility.
What if people just recover before the Olympics?
At least in the preliminaries, it seemed that they took first place and advanced easily.
In this history, Robles was the first in Group 3 of the semi-finals.
That is to say before the finals.
In fact, you are not quite sure what is going on with Robles. If Liu Xiang still wants to fight Robles here...
He is not Merritt who went crazy this year.
Sun Haiping doesn’t think this year’s Liu Xiang, especially the current Liu Xiang, is still capable of breaking 13 seconds with two guns.
In fact, he has never done such a thing in history.
Liu Xiang's ultimate dual-gun ability has never been good. This is a problem with our training methods and training system, which has led to his physical reserves being completely insufficient compared to European and American athletes.
Otherwise, with his talent.
This shouldn't be the case.
But now Liu Xiang is 29 years old and has no chance to do it again. All he has to do is seize the moment.
So this shot competes with Robles.
It is a shot that can tell the trend of three-pointers in the Olympic finals. Not only must he keep the big Q, but he must also test Robles's state, and he must also restrain and preserve his physical fitness.
Of course the most important thing is...
He also had to endure the tremendous pain in his Achilles tendon to complete the shot.
You can't exert too much force yet.
What if this fragile zone is stretched.
The finals were also sent.
Taking these issues into consideration...
This shot was much more difficult for Liu Xiang than for Merritt.
The unknown factor, too, looks much higher now.
Otherwise, how could Tianchao Sports Station just open its mouth and say——
This should have been the scene of the 2008 110-meter hurdles Bird's Nest finals.
Because at the Beijing Olympics.
The scene everyone expected before the game.
This is it right now.
Liu Xiang vs Robles.
This is the first time the two have played against each other this year.
This is also the first Olympic match after missing the 2008 Olympic Games.
It's about to start.
Su Shen was warming up in the backcourt, and he was also very concerned about Liu Xiang's shot.
Or.
Don't talk about him.
Zhao Haohuan and Zhang Peimeng both stopped their activities before the game started to spend the next few minutes.
These thirteen seconds.
Let anyone who is a track and field person in the 21st century...
Everyone can't help but care about this person.
come on.
Brother Xiang.
Su Shen said silently.
Zhao Haohuan said silently.
Zhang Peimeng said silently.
All the Chinese present said silently.
Hundreds of millions of viewers across the country.
Said silently.
On the eve of the men's 100m semifinals.
Men's 110m hurdles semifinals.
The final group match.
The fight is about to begin.
ps: It’s a new month, please vote, here’s one first, and then there will be more tonight.
During the Olympic Games, strive for the 10,000-word sprint!!!
