Chapter 680 The goal tonight is... to defeat the Three Golden Kings
Magic City, University Stadium.
The venue that was supposed to be bustling now felt a little disappointed and regretful. This was because Liu Xiang failed to defeat his opponent and lost to Robles. He didn't even get the second place. In the end, he just ran away.
A 13.21s.
This achievement is something that many people did not expect.
Because my original thought was that even if Liu Xiang couldn't get first place, then there would be no problem with second place. It would be fine.
After all, he is the winner of the Ninth Miracle at the World Championships, and is currently ranked number one in the world in this event.
However, there are not so many absolute things in competitive sports.
Liu Xiang has been too tired recently. In fact, Osaka has begun to show signs of qualifying, but he still relied on his strong willpower and physical strength to push through. However, the situation changed drastically later...
There are limits to willpower.
You must remember this.
There is no unlimited willpower.
That's movies and novels.
When the willpower can no longer hold on, the body begins to gradually disintegrate.
This time at the start, Liu Xiang originally had an advantage in the front. Logically speaking, with Liu Xiang's ability as the strongest late-race competitor in the world, it shouldn't be that difficult to win.
But now, he was overtaken in the later stages.
Not just one person.
Instead, he was surpassed by all the wolves.
Therefore, it's not that Robles ran well before, but that Liu Xiang's shot was too poor and gave the opponent a chance.
13.21s is basically at the level of peak Shi Dongpeng, which is definitely not enough in a world war.
After all, Robles only ran for 13.01 seconds and did not open 13 seconds. Liu Xiang started well and should have had a chance. Unfortunately, he "lost speed" in the later stages. This is actually a very typical problem.
If you have opened your heavenly eye, but unfortunately, ordinary people have not opened their heavenly eye.
The same goes for Liu Xiang and others.
Including this shot, Alan Houston ran even worse, only 13.23 seconds, which is understandable.
Feel.
Even Liu Xiang, the world's top flying man, sometimes "takes a nap".
There is no problem with this, because Liu Xiang's coaching team actually said the same thing, and at this time they are still emphasizing that the prediction of how much Liu Xiang can run in the future and what the next world record will be is really inappropriate. Liu Xiang himself
It means very directly——
"I haven't been practicing well recently. I feel like the hurdles are floating on the field, but I'm not very tired when I run."
"Before preparing for this competition, I didn't wear spikes for two weeks."
"This is my current state. It's pretty good to be able to run like this!"
Compared with the team, Liu Xiang gave a more direct answer, and also revealed several key points, such as "I haven't practiced well recently", "I haven't worn spikes in two weeks" and "This is my current state".
So, why is this happening?
This is hard to say.
There are probably many reasons.
Regarding Liu Xiang's defeat in the golden match, I am a bit "dumb" now because everyone is used to Liu Xiang winning.
I'm used to Liu Xiang being the world champion.
I'm used to Liu Xiang's reversal.
So suddenly, losing so "miserably" and only getting a bronze medal still made many people unable to accept the situation.
Only Liu Xiang himself could see clearly.
Facing Liu Xiang's defeat, Su Shen and others, who were preparing to play, were naturally asked why.
Su Shen didn't say much else, only one sentence, which sounded like he was following Liu Xiang's words and continued to answer——
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs, and it is impossible to win forever."
"Now I think what Brother Xiang needs most is not training, but rest."
Yes, many people think that Liu Xiang has not trained much in the past few weeks because he is lazy, but in fact, how is that possible?
Liu Xiang's personality is not a lazy one. It can only be said that after winning the World Championships, he became entangled in more worldly things.
Can't escape.
The contract worth more than one billion yuan has been signed long ago. It does not mean that you can step down if you want to.
The only thing Su Shen can do now is to perform well and get better results in the upcoming men's 100-meter race. So that the audience at the Shanghai University of Science and Technology Stadium will feel no regrets and feel like they have watched a great performance.
victory.
In other words, for Liu Xiang, a bronze medal is equal to failure.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing has never happened to former track and field athletes.
Su Shen knew that if he hadn't reopened, it would have been so popular in 2007, and sooner or later he would have to follow the same old path.
But luckily, he firmly grasped his destiny from the beginning.
Let him not be easily influenced by capital.
The scene of the 100-meter race.
Because this golden match is a one-shot shootout, there is no need for everyone to consider the issue of physical fitness and multiple shots for this shot.
However, right now, because Gai Yin is present, no one thinks that Su Shen and the others are likely to win.
Because Gai Yin ran 9.80 against the wind, which is really impressive.
9.80, this segmented data is almost unimaginable in China right now.
Don't blame these people for not thinking so highly of you without the support of experience.
…
"Viewers, the competition that is about to start is the men's 100-meter race." Yang Jian's voice came out on the Tianchao Sports Channel.
Obviously, Liu Xiang's previous defeat had reduced his momentum by half, and his roar dropped several levels.
"In the 100-meter race, I hope our athletes can work hard and give full play to their strength."
"That's right. We must perform well. Although it is not easy to win the gold medal in this game, there is still a chance to win the medal." Da Liuyang appeared on the commentator's seat and said: "Su Shen and the others are in very hot condition.
The blockbuster success of the World Championships is still fresh in people’s minds.”
"But we can't deny the power of Tyson Gayin." Da Liuyang said: "Gayin won three gold medals at the World Championships, which proves that this era is already Gayin's era, and he has no phobia of competitions.
It is still a little difficult for the current flower grower players to beat him."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "However, we still have the strength to compete for medals." Da Liuyang said: "I think that if we can win a medal in this game, it will be a great one.
Victory on the doorstep.”
"Da Liuyang is right. In the 100-meter race, except for Gai Yin, who is difficult to beat, the others still have a chance." Yang Jian also slowly regained his energy and said: "Su Shen's strength,
He has proven in Osaka that he is not a weakling, he is also a competition-type athlete, and he has the opportunity to compete with European and American athletes."
"Defining medals may also be the most appropriate competitive goal."
University student stadium.
Several people briefly greeted Su Shen, which made both Lao Yi feel...
Brother Tim, you are so talented.
And Su Shen himself knows that if he hadn't won an OW medal, if he hadn't opened it for ten seconds, then he would never have received this kind of respect. Omega athletes are more snobbish than you think. When you are not good,
Not to mention people taking the initiative to say hello to you, if you say hello to others and they can pay attention to you, that is considered good.
Su Shen also waved his hand in response. Gai Yin turned around and saw Su Shen coming, and nodded towards him.
This is definitely an acknowledgment of Su Shen's strength.
At least he was surprised by Su Shen's strength in some aspects, which exceeded the stereotype of yellow people in his mind.
Interestingly, Nesta Carter, the starting machine of Jamaica, did not participate in the World Championships in Osaka last time. This time he finally "caught" Su Shen and immediately said: "Su, let us compete at the starting line.
Win or lose!”
"I will go back this time and improve again. I will definitely beat you this time!"
Harmful.
This guy Carter really made Su Shen a little bit dumbfounded.
Everyone was clearly competing for 100 meters, so why did he act like he was starting a race?
No wonder it's called "Jamaica's Starting Machine", it's really not built.
This brain.
axis.
However, in the face of a challenge, it is still necessary to start the challenge. Now Su Shen is not rejecting anyone who comes, and does not show weakness at all. He just opens his mouth and says——
"Okay, then let me see if your progress is as exaggerated as you said."
"Okay! This time I must let you know that I am the activation superman and I am the ten-meter war god!"
Su Shen:......
Ten-meter war god?
To be honest, this is not an honorable title. If you like it, just take it.
In fact, I don't care.
After walking out of the inspection area and putting up their number plates, Su Shen and the other nine people all appeared on the track.
Seeing Su Shen come out, the atmosphere at the scene was obviously more lively.
Although Su Shen's popularity cannot catch up with Liu Xiang's, Tai is actually the second best in track and field in the country.
It is normal for everyone to have expectations for him.
It's just a pity that I don't have the same strength as Liu Xiang to win the gold medal.
But think about it, this is a 100-meter run, and everyone feels relieved.
Because this is the purest physical duel event, Asians are the only ones in history who can reach this level.
Couldn't ask for more.
"Let's take a look at the lanes. The Jamaican player, Williams Christopher, is in the first lane."
"The second track is our country's athlete, this time the young athlete Lao Yi takes the place of glasses man Hu Kai. Lao Yi won a silver medal in the relay at the World Championships, and he ran the first leg of the flower grower's relay team."
Lao Yi pretended to be very powerful and waved his hands left and right. Su Shen told him that he should show his momentum before the game. Lao Yi always remembered it. Even if he made these moves, he had already seen them in the mirror in advance.
, I practiced it many times, actually...
It's still a bit "not smooth enough".
But Lao Yi has an extremely simple temperament, which makes him a little "cute" when he does this.
It aroused the inner resonance of many people.
Hearing the cheers inside the TV, Zhou Bing outside the TV secretly shouted that it was unfair——
Why didn’t my opening moves of Zhou Style Tai Chi get cheers from so many people?
Why is it that no one laughs at his actions, which seem even stupider than his own?
Shady!
Absolutely shady!
My movements must definitely look better and be more handsome!
"The third one is the Jamaican player, Nesta Carter." Yang Jian said: "This player Nesta Carter has played against Su Shen and the others before. His characteristic is that he starts very quickly. Many players have competed with him.
They all said that it was easy for his startup to disrupt their own startup rhythm."
Carter also raised his hands to the audience, with a small body and a lot of energy.
He is full of confidence in his own improvement.
"The fourth bat——"
Yang Jian suddenly raised his voice, and the on-site commentary seemed to also raise his voice, because you had already begun to feel the volume in the TV beginning to boil.
"Flower Planter——"
"World Championship 100m medal, the only Asian record holder in Asia to break ten seconds and hold the 100m record."
“Su————————God!!!”
In other words, having the ow medal is the card, and everyone started shouting for his appearance.
This is the pride and pride of Su Shen as a compatriot.
It is also the respect of the second person in the track and field circle as a flower grower.
At this volume, in the words of Zhang Quan next to Yuan Guoqiang -
This was the second-most cheering I heard today, second only to Liu Xiang.
That's right.
This is Su Shen's current position in China.
I got this position at the age of 18, I don’t know how many years ahead of schedule.
You must know that Su Shen was able to achieve this level of strength when he was around 30 years old.
Far from being as young as he is now.
Su Shen stretched out his hand to face the audience. This time, he pointed his index finger at the sky, then retracted it and crossed his chest.
It looks similar to the usual stroke across the chest, but in fact, careful people have discovered that Su Shen has increased the movement of pointing to the sky.
This is because……
Su Shen didn't just do it to get a medal today.
What he wants to do is...
…
"The fourth lane is an American athlete, winner of three gold medals in the World Championships!"
“Tyson————Gay Yin!!!”
Gai Yin is next to Su Shen. You can say that this is a deliberate arrangement. You can also say that this is the card for the three gold medals in the World Championships.
After winning three gold medals at the World Championships, this year has actually become the "Year of Gai Yin".
There's nothing to say about this.
This fact cannot be denied.
But Gai Yin's current state is very strange. He drinks less water today, and Dan Dao seems to have forgotten to adjust.
The whole person seems to have a... temperament that is out of state.
As for why, it's because after Tyson Gayin ended the World Championships, he basically didn't train well.
A large number of commercial activities and entertainment activities occupy his main life.
This is also the reason why his current state is so "abnormal".
It seems that, let alone Liu Xiang, even Gai Yin will not run well if you don't train well.
Status declined significantly.
Therefore, at this time, if Asafa Powell did not avoid the battle, with his physical condition that just broke the world record half a month ago, it would not be a problem at all to defeat Gai Yin.
It's a pity...there is no if.
Asafa Powell just listened to the words of his team and his agent and gave up the good opportunity to crush Gaison Gein.
Instead, it gave me an excuse to not dare to confront Gai Yin.
Therefore, team operations may not always be reliable sometimes.
The key issue is to make up your own mind.
However, Powell lacks this temperament and ability.
That's why his historical status is so embarrassing.
He has the most number of ten-breaks. Unfortunately, in terms of honors, he has not won a single gold medal in the OW competition.
Even Blake, a person with a very short peak, has it. Therefore, Powell is really a "wonder in the industry."
Generally speaking, athletes who have reached this point have strong self-awareness and self-determination.
Powell is the only exception.
So, since Powell is not coming, then...
Su Shen was not prepared to be polite.
He wanted to do it in front of the people of Shanghai.
At the doorstep.
Completed the feat of defeating the first person in the 100 meters this year.
Let sprinters across the country know.
Even the Three Golden Kings of OW are not insurmountable or invincible existences.
ps: I'm sorry, Xiao Zi's examination still didn't show any signs of improvement today, which made me very irritated. Even because I insisted on exercising, it got a little worse. I'm so depressed... Well, it looks like I really need to rest for a while. Honestly , let the body "rust" first. Wuwuwu.
