After the preliminaries.
The Thai team members have... basically given up resistance.
Seeing the Japanese team's 38.80s and the flower growers' 38.51s, this was still the preliminaries, and they knew that they could no longer run.
With this kind of performance, even if their winning lineup from the last Asian Games was present, it would be of no avail.
Although they are still one of the seeded teams, in fact, in this final, they have no chance.
It has become a "fouling seed team".
That night, the country was already in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by the domineering display of the flower growers relay team.
In the past, the Asian Games were full of "we are not ready yet", "we still need time", "failure is the mother of success" and so on, which sounded like depressing "official statements". Moreover, after hearing it for decades, you can understand it by comparing the national football team's failure to recover for decades after the World Cup in Japan. .
Everyone was so angry that they lost their temper.
As a result, suddenly... it exploded.
And it was a big explosion.
The Japanese team broke the Asian Games record with a 38.80s in the preliminaries, right? Well, we will have a 38.51s in ten minutes.
This made the Japanese team's tournament record the shortest in the history of the Asian Games.
Cooperating with Su Shen in an interview after the game, he spoke frankly——
Yes, we just want to go head-to-head with the Japanese team. If they can do it, we can too.
And it can be done better.
The era when the Japanese team dominated Asian sprints is over, and this Asian Games is the beginning of the past.
Su Shen's domineering speech, combined with the super record preliminaries results, made domestic sports fans scream.
China Sports Channel also sent an "assist" at the right time. In Sports News, it broadcast the game in full, and specially wrote the headline————
How long will it take to break the record again? Ten minutes is enough.
Such a title, coupled with the rigid leading, is exactly in line with the characteristics of this generation of young people, and it has also made people across the country, at least sports fans across the country, realize something...
Our sprinting is no longer a weakness.
In Asia, it is already an absolutely strong team.
The kind that wants to bring down the old big brother.
Such achievements and atmosphere have increased the national pride in the country. Even if many people are just "winners", it doesn't matter. Those who win more will naturally become "die-hard fans".
Su Shen can think of this better than anyone else.
In the imperial office.
Isamu Toyoki watched the live broadcast of the game and was yelling the whole time. Anyway, there was no one else inside, and the soundproof environment here was also top-notch. As long as he didn't open the door, the outside didn't know what he was doing inside. What's more, it's still Yu Weili's office outside, which is separated by another floor to the corridor.
Absolutely safe.
He could just be like an ordinary track and field fan and not think about anything else, just sit in front of the TV and enjoy this record-breaking performance led by young people like Su Shen and others.
Originally, when he saw that the Japanese team broke the Asian Games record of 38.80 seconds in the preliminaries, he was a little worried, but ten minutes later, his worries were shattered by Su Shen's performance.
38.51s!
After this result came out, Yu Toyoki almost jumped up.
The emergence of this result is not just a simple 38.51s.
This represents an attitude -
If you want to play, we will play with you.
If you are tough, we will be tougher than you.
This kind of simple and crude thing may only be effective in the sports world when results are released, but it has to be said that for the outside world, this kind of approach is the most uplifting and stimulating thing. Toyoki even suddenly thought of a question...
This guy Su seems to be "crazy" every time he speaks. He must be taking advantage of this mentality every time.
Otherwise, why would the domestic sprint enthusiasm and national pride be so accurately grasped every time?
If that were the case, that would be a bit too "evil".
However, as the head coach of the national team, Toyoki just wants to say one thing————
Well, give me more, I'm not afraid of "monsters".
The more, the better.
In the evening, the Japanese team held a small meeting in the conference room.
Mainly to do a temporary pre-war analysis for this afternoon's flower grower preliminaries.
Originally, everyone felt that the flower growers were not as good as themselves. Even if they ran 38.40s, they still had a great chance to exceed this result.
In training, this has been done many times. As long as the stick is not dropped, members of the coaching staff including Koji Ito believe that the probability exceeds 70% to 80% if it exceeds 38.40s.
This is huge.
And they believe that flower growers will not be able to reach 38.40s every time. Generally speaking, such good things will not happen several times in a row within a year. How many times have they broken the national relay record this year? Any more would be a bit unreasonable.
Therefore, everyone analyzed that the flower growers' relay this time was only 38.40s at most, which was difficult to exceed.
But after today's shot broke out in the preliminaries, 38.51 seconds, it poured cold water on the entire Japanese track and field team in an instant.
It's really a big deal that someone pretended to be so cool.
I wanted to make a show of strength in the 38.80s, but it turned out to be a slap in the face, and I had to ask myself whether this slap was sweet.
38.51s.
Why are you running so fast in the preliminaries?
Is this a result that should be achieved in the Asian preliminaries?
"I didn't expect that the flower growers would make great progress in just a few months... We were a little careless." Even Sutsugo Shingo found it difficult to calm down after seeing such results. This means that the victory they originally thought was inevitable has become uncertain.
"Is the video here?" Yamashu Hirano said.
"We didn't record the preliminaries specifically, only the official video, and the resolution is not particularly high. It's just the preliminaries after all. I didn't expect them to suddenly achieve such good results." The staff of the Japanese team took out a notebook and portable The projector played the video.
After watching it seven or eight times, Ito Koji was the first to confirm one thing, that is...
Flower growers have fully mastered the push-down handover, and...
Their "press-down handover" is very likely...
It has also undergone its own "improvement" and "optimization".
This is the conclusion of Koji Ito.
"How is it possible? How could their track and field expertise be able to do such an advanced thing? It took our Japanese track and field team so long to figure out the direction of improvement of the 'overhead style'. How could they be!" Muraguchi Mu Wulang was the first to jump out and object because he did not believe that flower growers had such "scientific research capabilities."
In the Asian sprint world, Japan's "sports scientific research capabilities" have always been number one.
Of course it was very uncomfortable to be suddenly caught up by a flower grower.
"It was impossible before, but maybe it is possible now." Koji Ito mentioned a person and said: "They have a scientific research athlete born. Although he is only a freshman, he has already published many SCI articles in authoritative sports journals. .”
"You're just a freshman, what kind of scientific research ability can you have? It's probably someone behind you. My understanding of flower growers is definitely like this. Otherwise, a 17-year-old person is so powerful, knows so much, and has no family background, do you think it's possible? Is that so?" Ito Koji didn't say anything at this moment, because he was indeed a little "unconvinced".
Unless this ability was present in the mother's womb, how could it be possible to achieve it suddenly under the conditions and soil of a flower grower?
This is indeed "troublesome".
It is a pity that the Japanese team could have improved earlier and learned the "Su Shen System" opportunity, but it was so easily missed.
But in the final analysis, it is their nation's own inferiority and conceitedness that are at work.
Subconsciously I was convinced that this was impossible and there must be something wrong.
Starting from this conclusion, naturally everything I look at feels wrong.
"Whether it's the young man or not, but in my opinion, they...should have improved this technology." Koji Ito was the strongest and had the best eyesight. He came to the conclusion that basically technical matters, There should be no problem.
You won't miss it easily.
"But our country's experts have said that this technology, used by Asians, involves the 'seven deadly sins.'" Muraguchi Kigoro said: "How can they bypass these 'seven deadly sins'? Are our country's experts still wrong?" Is it done?"
"It's absolutely wrong." Ito Koji said: "But have you ever thought about the possibility that..."
"The improved push-down style of flower growers is already perfect for them, and it perfectly avoids the 'seven deadly sins of the push-down style' proposed by Chinese expert Sawamura."
In fact, both Shingo Sutsutsu and Nobuharu Asahara have thought about this, but subconsciously... they don't want to admit it.
Now that Koji Ito has made it clear, they have to face this possibility.
After a moment of silence, Nobuharu Asahara spoke first: "Then what do you think we should do, Ito-senpai?"
There are very few people in Asia who admire Nobuharu Asahara, and Koji Ito is definitely one of them.
His prestige in the Asian sprint world can be said to have been at its peak.
Ito Koji looked at the serious-looking people in the conference room and said softly: "It's very simple, just go all out."
"I suggest that you don't take it lightly."
"Since we can't take advantage, then let's fight openly and openly."
"There is an old saying among flower growers that when we meet in a narrow road, the brave will win, so we still have a chance to win."
Later, Ito Koji swallowed half of the sentence and said, that is————
If you are full of courage and still lose, it can only be because your skills are inferior to others.
Japan's position as the big brother of Asia's sprint is probably going to be... shaken to its foundation.
But now was not the time to say such depressing words, Ito Koji still held back and only said the first half of the sentence.
"Don't worry, Ito-senpai, we will definitely give our best and go all out tomorrow."
"We must win the Asian Games relay gold medal for the Japanese track and field team!"
…
As for the flower growers, everyone went to bed early to rest, and there was no special tactical setting.
As for the strength of the Japanese team, it can only be said that everyone knows it clearly after Su Shen's comprehensive popularization.
No one is afraid.
Everyone is just excited and looking forward to it.
I look forward to tomorrow’s final shot on Asia’s top stage and truly defeat the Japanese relay team.
Let the national anthem and national flag of the Flower Gardener fly again at the Doha Central Stadium.
After Su Shen finished washing, he turned off the lights and went to bed. Before going to bed, he looked at Doha outside the window and had only one thought -
tomorrow.
There's going to be big news.
We need to let all Asia know that Asia’s relay hegemon will start tomorrow...
Changed.
