The next day.
The World Championships trials continue.
Compared with the previous two shots, starting from the semi-finals, it will be much more difficult to advance.
After all, starting from this shot, those players who came to train and test the waters were basically eliminated, and the remaining ones were all local famous players or provincial rising stars with certain abilities. The gold content of the game will also greatly exceed the previous two shots.
Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan both have their own things to do and their own goals. They are stable ten-breakers, and the top two is not a problem at all. For those who want to fight for the third spot, today's game will become a crucial node.
Especially the opponent and tactical choice in the third shot are all manifestations of luck and decisiveness.
Now it is no longer the situation where one can become the boss of the national team with 10.20+. The current situation is that it is very likely that the results around 10 seconds are not that safe. There are really not a few athletes who want to break out in this game.
Explosions, abnormalities, grouping, the choice of each shot, and even the distribution and status of physical energy will all affect the final result.
Just like Hu Kai himself said in an interview yesterday:
This is a real tryout.
The quota for the third flower grower, whether it is 100 meters or 200 meters, has begun to become "confusing".
No one doesn’t want to go.
The 110 meters start first.
The competitive pressure is much smaller than that of the 100-meter and 200-meter hurdles, because there are only a few people in China who are truly competitive in the 110-meter hurdles. It takes more than 13.55 seconds to reach the standard. If you have seen this result too much, Liu Xiang must think that it is not very good, just average. But in the whole country, there are no more than five people who can achieve it.
Even if we look at Asia as a whole, it is still ranked in the top five.
Therefore, it is not easy to meet the standards, and there is no need to compete.
It's a blessing to be able to reach five this year. At least I can put on a relatively exciting hurdles show in the final gun.
As for wanting to be like the 100 meters, where there are so many people and fierce competition, that’s a bit taken for granted.
The current talent pool for the 110-meter hurdles is no longer on the same level as the 100-meter. The three teams in the 100-meter hurdles can all sweep the domestic Grand Prix. If you look at the 110-meter hurdles, who else can sweep the country besides Shi Dongpeng and Liu Xiang? A sure win?
There are only about ten people in China who can open the 14-second mark this year.
And these people, compared with those who can get the A mark, are definitely the best in every place. It's a pity that they faced Sun Haiping's "direct team" in the 110-meter hurdles, so they could only accept the reality.
Easily broken.
You can say that Sun Haiping's training philosophy was still not popular internationally, but domestically, he is definitely one of the best. With rich experience and sophisticated training methods, no one among domestic coaches can compete with him. Otherwise, those who would not have the ability to meet the standards would be his disciples.
For the rest of the people, if they want to meet the standards, there are not many in the country.
Liu Xiang's semifinals were in the third group. Because it was four shots, everyone before him, whether it was Xie Wenjun or Shi Dongpeng, advanced to the next round. When it was his turn, it was already in the second half of the 110-meter hurdles competition.
"In the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals, Liu Xiang will appear in the third group." Yang Jian said: "Liu Xiang's classmates have already advanced in the front. It depends on whether he can successfully advance to the semi-finals."
"As long as Liu Xiang is not affected by injuries, the semifinals should be stable." After Hu Kai finished speaking, he looked at the screen and said: "Oh? We can find that Liu Xiang's face is obviously different today. He seems to have more energy and motivation. . I don’t know if everyone has noticed it.”
"Maybe it's because my physical condition is very good today." Yang Jian said, "The game is ready to begin."
"Liu Xiang is not completely without opponents in this group. Ji Wei is a strong opponent. This year, he also ran the standard at the end of last month and exceeded the A standard by a long way. The result was 13.41s." Yang Jian looked at the information and said: "This is very close to the best result of his career, which shows that Ji Wei's condition is quite good and should not be underestimated."
"If it were the normal Liu Xiang, there would definitely be no problem, but there would still be a gap. However, after Liu Xiang was injured, his state was no longer as complete as before. Whether he can win depends on the on-the-spot performance of this shot." Yang Jian said. At the same time, the small loudspeaker on site has begun to play the starting instructions.
"on your marks."
"set."
Bang————————————————————
As soon as a gunshot is fired, anyone with a discerning eye will know whether it is there or not.
Ji Wei would definitely not be able to beat Liu Xiang normally, and he had no intention of competing with Liu Xiang, but now, facing Liu Xiang who was still recovering from injury, he also had a competitive mentality.
I feel that I can't compare to the healthy Liu Xiang. I might still have a chance against the not-so-healthy Liu Xiang.
Beating Liu Xiang once is basically the lifelong wish of domestic short span players.
After all, Liu Xiang is the world's top expert in this event and the world record holder.
In addition, his condition was indeed good this year, which led him to adjust his condition before the game. He wanted to have a try with Liu Xiang in the semi-finals. If he could suppress it and disrupt Liu Xiang's rhythm, his The coach told him that there was no chance.
Unfortunately, as soon as the gunshot rang out, there was no chance.
Because after Liu Xiang changed from eight to seven, his start-up, even now, has reached a speed that he could not achieve in his heyday.
In his heyday, Liu Xiang was an invincible representative in China, let alone now.
No matter how bad Liu Xiang is, no matter how much he is a master in the future, he has won the championship in the World Indoor Championships in the future.
It's just that compared with the world's top starters, there is still a gap. It doesn't mean that his starters are second-rate in the world.
Those who can surpass him can actually be counted by hand.
In this case, Ji Wei immediately felt how powerful Liu Xiang was.
The first push off the starting blocks.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Seven steps.
In just seven steps, Liu Xiang had already completed his preparations for the first column.
In the past, Liu Xiang definitely needed eight steps to do it.
One step less, which greatly increases Liu Xiang's activation ability.
Plus Liu Xiang was in a really good mood today, especially after Yuan Guoqiang came to him.
At this time, Ji Wei was a domestic master after Liu Xiang's eight changes and seven changes, and he was the first to kill a ghost with a knife.
"Brush" the knife down.
When Ji Wei was in the first hurdle, he was actually a little confused.
Because he had no psychological advantage in the competition with Liu Xiang, now Liu Xiang's weakest start-up stage has been stretched a lot. For Ji Wei, in fact, his mentality is... broken.
Regarding Liu Xiang's invincible posture and invincible memory in his heart, everything returned to his heart in an instant.
"Liu Xiang is the first to start."
"The first hurdle went smoothly, Liu Xiang started to accelerate, and in the third hurdle, Liu Xiang pulled away from Ji Wei."
"Does Ji Wei still have a chance?"
"No more. After the fifth hurdle, Liu Xiang pushed Ji Wei further away. Ji Wei himself was already giving up."
"Liu Xiang passed the last hurdle and crossed the finish line without much sprinting."
"13.41s."
"This is almost Ji Wei's best result this year, passing the semi-finals." After Yang Jian said this, he also began to have more confidence in Liu Xiang's journey to the World Championships, saying: "Liu Xiang is in the semi-finals. Crossing the finish line with a speed that is three levels higher than the A standard is telling the country that as long as Liu Xiang is still there, few people in the country can threaten him."
"Liu Xiang has an advantage when he starts shooting. Is this a change?" Yang Jian looked at the slow motion and asked deliberately.
Because he already knew this from his communication with Hu Kai, but the audience didn't know it, so it still needs to be mentioned a little bit.
"Yes, this is called the eight-to-seven start-up phase." Hu Kai said: "It is actually a technical change for the start-up speed, and Liu Xiang's own height is actually a bit short for this technical action. But Liu Xiang Xiang still decided to do this. This is the attitude of the world's top players, and I have to admire him. However, whether he can show his majesty in the World Series will be revealed in Berlin next month."
"After all, a master of Liu Xiang's level must not only focus on the country."
Yangcheng Stadium scene.
Sun Haiping looked at Liu Xiang's relaxed posture and almost forgot about Beiao for a moment.
By the way, it would have been better if nothing happened last August.
Liu Xiang must have always had such a high-spirited smile.
After Liu Xiang returned to the athlete's seat on Ersha Island, Su Shen also smiled and said: "Run handsomely, Brother Xiang."
"It's not bad." Liu Xiang also smiled, and then said: "Last night..."
Su Shen waved his hand and said: "The matter has not been settled yet. When it is settled, we can discuss how to pose together before it is too late, Brother Xiang."
Liu Xiang was stunned.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay, let's discuss it after we decide."
After the 110-meter hurdles, the 100-meter race is about to begin.
Zhao Haohuan played first.
When you meet him, you can only say that you are unlucky. Even people from the Su family, few dare to say that they are not depressed.
Because apart from Su Shen, Zhao Haohuan has the best combat power in Asia.
Now, tell me, how can you run away?
Liang Jiahong curled his lips, and when Zhou Bing saw it, he joked: "Haha, don't be sad, at least there is still a second promotion spot waiting for you."
"Shut up and shut you up." Liang Jiahong said angrily: "How do you think you can be any better? When you meet Zhao Haohuan, except for Xiao Tian, no one is better."
"We all have to strive for second place honestly."
This is the truth. Athletes are all naturally competitive people, let alone the athletes from Ersha Island.
Su Shen is very concerned about cultivating a competitive mentality.
But sometimes you also have to look at who your opponent is.
Zhao Haohuan is the only yellow-skinned ten-breaker in Asia, and even if you include the naturalized blacks, there are only three. Not to mention that he only broke through his PB to within 9.90s this year. This level of strength is something that not many people can achieve. Mind matched.
Yes.
The gap is so big.
Bang————————————
After the game started, Liang Jiahong thought the same thing, except that he could follow him a little bit. After running in the middle, he was simply beaten by Zhao Haohuan, especially when the speed zone broke out, it was completely out of the question.
Zhao Haohuan's six-second burst has reached the second stage, which is already the second level. They who are the first level and can only burst into the tenth place are no match at all. What's more, Zhao Haohuan's own physical condition is still among the best in Asia, even faster than Su Shen's now.
This, how else to fight?
At seventy meters, Zhao Haohuan had actually opened a gap of more than one meter over Liang Jiahong.
Logically speaking, I must give up here to conserve my energy for the finals.
But... Zhao Haohuan didn't let go.
Instead, choose to continue charging forward.
Yang Jian couldn't believe this, but Hu Kai soon gave him the answer.
"Zhao Haohuan is going to test his multi-gun capabilities."
That's right.
Zhao Haohuan indeed thought so.
What Su Shen did last year, he now needs to use this domestic competition to give it a try.
After Beiao, he also realized one thing, that is, even if one shot is good, there is still a gap, and there is still no way to show himself on the world's top stage. For example, in last year's Bird's Nest Showdown, although he barely squeezed in, it was obvious that he only got the last batch of rankings. It's like changing your direction and experiencing a trapeze medal battle with the SSSVIP seat card.
After this scene, he made up his mind to improve his multi-gun skills.
After this scene, he understood better why Su Shen cared so much about the ability to burst out with multiple guns.
Because if you want to compete with the world's top players, you need this ability.
One shot, no matter how good the run is.
That's not enough either.
Must have multiple shots.
Liu Dapeng looked at Zhao Haohuan in front of him in the second lane. He was still accelerating. He didn't even understand what this guy was doing.
After all, the multi-gun system is basically a "vacuum field" for domestic athletes who have not even broken ten seconds.
I wouldn't even think about that aspect.
Therefore, they didn't quite understand why Zhao Haohuan, who had already finished first, was still working so hard.
But there are a few people on Ersha Island who are smart and have already reacted.
Thinking of Su Shen last year, he suddenly woke up.
"Zhao Haohuan didn't let go, he continued to accelerate!"
"Keep accelerating!"
"Continue to widen the gap with everyone!"
"Zhao Haohuan, with a huge advantage, crossed the finish line, and the result is..."
When Yang Jian saw the results, he almost took a breath.
9.91s.
Downwind 0.7M/S.
The hard power reached 9.94s.
This shot not only broke ten seconds, but also pushed hard towards 9.90 seconds.
Not only Yang Jian, but also the other athletes and the athletes' coaching team looked at this result and were a little dumbfounded.
What the hell.
It was just a semi-final, or a domestic semi-final. Tell me, you ran 9.91s?
Are you crazy or am I crazy?
But when Zhao Haohuan turned around and saw the result, he only glanced at it slightly and turned away.
It seems that he is still a little dissatisfied.
Perhaps he felt that under the wind speed of 0.7M/S, he should reach the 9.90s mark with this shot. After all, he is different from Su Shen. Last time, Su Shen experimented with the multi-gun ability of three or four guns, while he... was experimenting with his own ultimate multi-gun ability.
It sounds like they all have the strength of multiple guns, but in fact there are still many differences.
However, 9.91s with a tailwind of 0.7M/S is not bad.
At least it was passable.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Haohuan turned around and left the field to take a rest. Two hours later, there would be a final competition.
In order to be in line with international standards, domestic competitions have been adjusted to this three-four-shot interval mode before and after the North Olympics.
Compared with before, it is definitely not conducive to athletes' performance, but in the long run, it is a painful period that must be experienced.
Of course.
This so-called "labor pain period" does not exist for Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan.
For the members of Ersha Island who have been training their bodies to understand tacitly in this way, it is not a problem.
It's just what he thought after going down. If other domestic athletes knew about it, they would probably tear off the number and shout:
Coach, I abstain.
And Zhao Haohuan's thoughts are actually the same as Su Shen's thoughts...
It coincides.
