"on your marks."
"set."
Athletes start preparing again.
"Fortunately, no one was kicked out." After Hu Kai finished speaking, the game returned to normal.
The audience at the scene spontaneously became quiet again and became attentive.
After all, false starts are a very common occurrence in sprint competitions. Although there can only be one false start after the millennium, there are still people who make tactical false starts to create pressure. For example, Liu Xiang was like this in Athens.
"The game has restarted, I hope everyone will not be affected."
Su Shen also concentrated and prepared to start at high speed.
The curved arms are extended, accumulating force, accumulating energy, accumulating momentum.
Waiting for the gunshot——————————
Bang——————————————————
"The game begins!!!" Yang Jian shouted following the sound of gunshots.
Su Shen kicked off his feet quickly and exploded from the starting block. He still felt very good about this shot. The sole of the foot and the foot plate were in perfect agreement at the moment of starting. This is a sign that the foot feels online, and it is also one of Su Shen's favorite feelings before a game.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Four-point connection + four golden steps.
Then he immediately completed ten meters in three steps, but when everything went smoothly...
but.
Didi didi.
It rang again.
When Su Shen heard this, he immediately subconsciously slowed down, but because he started too fast, he still followed the inertia and ran for a long time.
Except for him, Bolt is almost the same, and Zhao Haohuan, Blake and the others are also no different.
They all started to go all out to prepare for this shot.
"Ringed again?" Yang Jian suppressed his emotions and asked doubtfully: "Is it still a technical failure this time?"
After waiting for a while, I saw a red sign appear.
"Sent off! This time it's not a technical fault, it's a false start. Michael Rodgers from the American team!!!!"
"Rogers was sent off straight away!"
"Let's take a look at the slow motion. Oh, it's so obvious. It actually reached 0.059s. This is a very obvious false start."
0.059s?
This startup is a bit too fast. If it is a false start, it should be around 0.100s, closer to this range.
This takes 0.050 seconds. From the experience of sprinting, this is not like pressing the gun but...
on purpose!
Su Shen saw Guy's eyes and found that the man quickly moved away when he saw his eyes. It was completely different from his usual reckless confrontation.
The coaches of the American team on the sidelines all had a bald eagle's evil smile on their faces: "Sometimes, in order to win, you have to do whatever it takes."
"Besides, sacrificing for the wild card is what you should do."
Anyway, as long as the US dollars are in place, there is nothing here. It is not an OW competition. These non-top giants cannot talk about dreams. Similar to Michael Rodgers, there are so many competitions. If it is not to make money, what is it to support his family?
Although dreams are valuable, ink and a beautiful knife are more valuable.
Therefore, if it is not an OW competition, the Diamond League is held every year anyway, and it does not matter whether it is successful or not. And the most important thing is that relying on themselves, it is impossible to help the American team get a wild card and defeat these people.
under dual effects.
They still nodded in agreement and tearfully took out the American knife as compensation.
"There are only eight players on the field. You must be careful this time and don't start too early." As soon as Hu Kai finished speaking, the electronic password rang again:
"on your marks."
"set."
The athletes on the track got into their respective positions again, raised their hips slightly, and prepared to start explosively.
Bolt also patted his face, as if to tell himself that he must concentrate.
After a few seconds.
Bang——————————————————————
With the sound of the electronic gun, Usain Bolt started again with all his strength.
The whole body rushed out like a large pickup truck. One look at the strength of his feet showed that Bolt's shot was very powerful.
This is because he no longer has the ability to participate in the World Indoor Championships in Yangcheng, so if he wants to achieve good results, he must run well ahead. He has lost so many times and finally wants to win once.
So Bolt tried his best with this shot, almost going all out.
But I just ran out and started cutting and impacting, preparing to accelerate my hips...
Didi Didi————
What? ? ?
Bolt's whole mind went crazy.
Why is it "Didi, Didi, Didi" again?
Play with me, right?
Suddenly the shadow of Zurich hit me again. The reason why Bolt is so strong is that his invincible mentality is also the key.
This will make it easier for him to get into a relaxed run.
This is easy to understand. If you go into a situation where you are almost certain to win, you will have this mentality and will not be affected at all.
But if you go to a game where the success rate is unknown or not high, you will definitely feel that your mentality will fluctuate.
Hard to relax.
This is human nature, and only a very few athletes can adjust it, but after adjustment, it is easier to put the body into a relaxed state without this kind of inner self-confidence. After all, most of the so-called calmness is just human beings, and you should know that most of them are just pretending.
It's all just holding on.
At least it has a little bit of this nature.
This is incomparable to that kind of absolute confidence.
But now Bolt is obviously a little irritable.
Because of what happened in Zurich, because of the impact of winter training, because of the current physical reserves, because of the current decline in hard power... and so on, a series of things surrounded him, making it impossible for him to maintain the absoluteness of last year and the year before that. of self-confidence.
And this is what Americans want.
The United States did not get a wild card for the 100 meters this time, so it had to find a replacement here. Otherwise, the United States already has many famous sprinters, and there are also many people who have reached the standard. If you only have three people, it will still be a little less. Guy was originally unwilling to do such a thing, but in the face of the country's interests and for the sake of the World Championships, he chose to store his personal emotions temporarily.
Because he is also the eldest brother of the team. If he can’t be on top, who can be on top?
He needed to make a statement.
He also needs to win more entries for the team. In 2009, he also lost the wild card for the 100-meter championship.
So he needs to take this responsibility.
After all, for a long time, this was what the leader of the American team should do.
It seems that sitting in this position, you need to help the team get a wild card.
That's why Guy's eyes were a little evasive, which was completely different from the usual straight-faced, real-man feeling.
Forget about the athletes' personal games, it has risen to the level of a wild card for the national team, and no one can be immune.
After all, as long as you are an individual, you must now have a nationality. With a nationality, you have the responsibility and obligation to strive for honor for this country. Even if you don't like this country anymore, if you change to another country, sorry, you still need to do this.
No one can jump out.
Otherwise, when I become a citizen of the United States, I will not be without "freedom" to tell you the need - I completely and completely renounce and completely renounce allegiance to any foreign prince, authority, country or monarch to which I have hitherto been subordinate or a citizen. and loyal; I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, domestic and foreign; I will be unwavering in my convictions and loyal; I will take up arms for the United States as required by law; I will serve in the Armed Forces of the United States as required by law While performing non-combat service; I will perform work of national importance under civilian government authority as required by law. I voluntarily assume this obligation without any reservation or evasion. Help me, God!
It is the same for any country. Those who imagine that they can completely separate themselves from the country are the behavior of elementary school students. Even elementary school students know that as an earthling, it is impossible for you to be without a nationality now. If you are in a primitive village, you all have a tribe to maintain, and no one can really leave.
So don’t imagine that you can be truly “free” if you go to another country.
There is no absolute freedom in this world.
Gay is just standing on the side of the American team, and he can only do this.
"Technical failure or a false start?" Yang Jian once again suppressed his emotions and said immediately: "It was a false start. Kimmons of the American team also made a false start! In this way, everyone in the American team except Gay Got sent off!”
It doesn't matter to Kimmons, he can't fight for the front anyway, and he can get money to compensate and get the reputation of sacrificing for the country.
What’s wrong with having the best of both worlds?
It's just that both of them "sacrificed". It would be unjustifiable for Guy not to win the championship, and the pressure suddenly increased.
But Su Shen once again observed that Guy was almost motionless, which means that these two times, he basically didn't lose any physical energy.
Not a single bit of explosive power was expended.
Bolt, who ran the farthest among the others, had already rushed out more than twenty or thirty meters due to the inertia brought by his huge body.
Only Su Shen, although he ran away this time, he kept an eye on it and did not consume much.
He ran less than ten meters.
Zhao Haohuan and Lao Yi both rushed for dozens of meters before they stabilized.
At this time, Mills suddenly reacted next to him, patted Francis next to him and said, "No, I've been hit."
"What do you mean?" As soon as Francis finished speaking, a flash occurred in his mind. When Mills reminded him, he also reacted.
"You actually sacrificed two people to protect Guy from defeating us?"
"It's not just that." Mills stared at the three Jamaican people on the field and whispered: "They are going to kill everyone by the way, especially the flower growers. They want to... guarantee the wild card."
"Wild card?" Francis understood it all in an instant, because Jamaica had already received the wild card through Usain Bolt, so even if it won the championship, it would not be able to use the wild card of the Diamond League champion due to priority, so there was no way to go here. Thinking about many aspects.
Someone from the US team took advantage of it.
"Look at everyone, only Guy is basically not moving, now everyone is consumed, what do you think."
"America is really good!" Francis almost laughed angrily: "Is this the attitude of the track and field kingdom?"
"It's true that they are a kingdom of track and field, but they are also a shameless kingdom." Mills said: "You don't understand how much criticism and false accusations we have received from them after the rise of Jamaican sprint. These two things are never absolute. Positively related.”
"I didn't expect them to be like this." Francis clapped his hands and was a little annoyed. It was not because Powell couldn't win the championship, but because even if his own people didn't win it, they would have to get it. If the American team does this, who else will? Want them to win?
"I failed this time." Mills said in a low voice: "Usain also spent a lot of time. He does not have the ability to start and explode like this this season."
"But... I'm willing to admit defeat." Mills' fat face showed no emotion at all: "This is also a type of tactic, and it is also something within the rules. It's just that in the past, using tactics to get ahead did not require consuming team members, but Doing this now will consume the athletes' own right to participate. I just didn't expect them to be so cruel."
"Alas." Francis also knew that it was useless to be angry now, because what Mills said was not wrong, and everything was allowed within the rules. People can be so cruel, but they just missed it.
on the field.
Su Shen looked at the American coaching staff who had even started to stand up to celebrate in advance.
Suddenly there was anger coming out of his heart.
But it is indeed within the rules and tactics. In the past, "zero false start" was too costly. No one thought that the American team would dare to do this. But think about the American movie "Flags of Our Fathers" that was released a few years ago. There is a scene in it. It was a scene where a group of people were talking and laughing on the deck, and a soldier suddenly fell into the sea. A few naughty soldiers even joked that the ship would lower a boat to rescue him. However, the team's speed did not slow down, and no one went to save people.
Do you think it's fake? Just a movie? Then you are wrong.
This is the cold-blooded rule of the United States.
Another example is that on June 17, 2017, the destroyer "Fitzgerald" collided with the cargo ship "Crystal" and caused water to enter the starboard side. Sailor Gary Rem went to the flooded cabin to rescue his trapped comrades. Fearing that the battleship would sink, the officer in charge ordered the cabins to be sealed, and Gary Rem also died inside.
Therefore, the "patriotism" and "nationalism" of the United States are sometimes stronger than you think. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a superhero named Captain America.
Under the big stance, individuals are small.
Not just Guy and Su, Su and Bolt, Su and any foreign athlete, if it rises to the level of "national competition". It is natural that personal will will take a back seat. This is a kind of social nature that is inevitable from the birth of human beings.
Su Shen didn't blame Guy. It was just that Guy had suffered the least loss and now had the greatest chance of winning.
When I recalled this time, I had already run three times, and I felt a little unable to keep up.
When he passed by Su Shen, he gasped and asked, "Brother Tian, did you do this on purpose?"
Su Shen frowned and said succinctly, "I'm afraid it's intentional."
Without elaborating, he returned to his position.
After hearing this, Lao Yi was stunned, rolled his eyes, looked at Su Shen's back, and returned to his first step.
"on your marks."
"set."
Hu Kai actually had a vague sense that something was wrong, because judging from the several false starts, it was the American team that took the initiative, and the reaction time was obviously not to press the gun, but it was clearly a deliberate false start. Coupled with the first technical failure, it seems that the Americans also jumped ahead, then...
So many times, it can't be an "accident". This is an American tactic!
"I hope this shot can be fired well." Yang Jian shouted several times, and he became a little emotional.
But Hu Kai said in a low voice: "There is a high probability that this shot will be fired smoothly."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Yang Jian asked.
"Because." Hu Kai looked at the only seven people left and said, "Except for Guy, there is no one left in the American team."
These words sounded a little vague at first, but Yang Jian was not stupid, and he quickly felt what Hu Kai was talking about.
Thinking about it again, it is true that Guy did not consume much, and none of the others did.
More or less all is consumed.
As for people who were originally close in strength, it was just a matter of a few centimeters. With this, Guy would naturally have a huge advantage.
On the starting block, when preparing to start, Su Shen could only adjust his breathing and prepare to face it again.
But just like Hukai and the others thought, just like Mills and the others thought, just like the American coaching staff thought, in fact, they are already at a disadvantage now. Even he is actually consuming I mentioned it twice, but it’s just that it’s relatively small, and it’s not that it’s not consumed at all. If everyone is exhausted, Su Shen will naturally have the advantage, but now there is one person who has basically not moved three times, and the balance of victory has already tilted before it even started.
At this moment, before preparing to start running, Su Shen suddenly heard someone shouting from the far left:
"Brother Tian, hold on tight and don't run away."
Because it was in Chinese, except for Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan, the others couldn't understand it at all.
There was no time to think about it. Not long after, gunfire rang out.
Bang——————————————————
"This time, we will definitely win."
"The wild card belongs to our Ameili card."
The coaches of the American team all had a wicked smile as if their plan had succeeded. They firmly believed that under these conditions, Gay would definitely not lose. And this is not based on Guy's own will.
Gay is also a serious person when he gets on the court.
Even if it is a little unpleasant, tactics are tactics, within the rules, sacrifice for victory, Lao Mi's traditional art.
He could only continue.
And win them all.
The gunshot sounded, and Guy rushed out quickly, using the starting rhythm of his special training this time, and quickly kicked out from the footboard.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Then there were three more "bang, bang, bang".
It can be seen that Guy's reaction among all the people is the fastest now. Then he left and showed his ability in the acceleration zone. He pushed his hips, stood up, and cut hard. As soon as he entered the acceleration zone, Guy was already in first place.
Um?
No, even if I consume almost no physical energy, I shouldn't be number one now.
What about the red figure?
If he was here, how could he be the first here?
It’s impossible for anyone.
At the moment when Guy was confused, a voice sounded that made Guy almost freeze.
Didi Didi——————
What?
Not to mention Guy, this voice was familiar to all the audience, because it was the fourth time they heard it today.
Could it be that you are not familiar with it?
"Someone jumped the gun???"
"But haven't all our people gone down?"
Several American coaches were stunned, especially Gay's two head coaches, who were preparing to watch calmly as Gay counterattacked everyone and won the championship.
As a result, this happened suddenly.
And the person who let Guy suffer this loss.
The one who gets the game going again.
Not someone else.
It is the first player.
Work and rest.
Lao Yi looked at the referee and calmly raised his hand, indicating that he had jumped the ball and accepted the penalty.
As for the break from work, it is obvious that the time is also around 0.050s.
It's obviously not a gunshot.
How similar is it to the reaction time of the American team just now?
Faced with the unstoppable boos in the audience, Lao Yi seemed to feel that he had played a role. He took a deep breath, walked past Su Shen and said in his Mandarin with a hint of Guizhou temperament: "Little Brother Tim, I’ve spent too much anyway, so I might as well help you with this shot.”
"You have to work hard."
"Try not to let the Americans succeed."
Zhao Haohuan, who was coming over to comfort Lao Yi, stood still when he heard this.
Naturally, he understood what this meant in an instant.
People don't need comfort at all.
People do it on purpose.
Let Americans see it. Don’t think that you are the only ones who will do this. In terms of integrity, we will not lose to any country or anyone.
After saying that, he left the runway under the leadership of the staff.
The first one was also empty.
"on your marks."
"Lao Yi also jumped the gun?" Before Yang Jian finished speaking, Hu Kai immediately judged: "Lao Yi also jumped the gun on purpose. This is also a tactic."
"Just paying back to the American team."
Guy got on the track again, adjusted his breathing, and squatted on his starting block again.
"set."
For the American team, Gay's coach Lance Blauman said: "It's just one time, Tyson still takes the initiative."
But at this time, Jon Drummond next to him also opened his mouth, but before the words came out, gunfire rang out again.
This was the fifth shot of the game.
This is why the IAAF had to change the starting rules in the past, from countless times to several times for one person to once for one person to once for everyone and now to zero false starts.
Just to prevent this problem.
Starting too many times will deplete the status of the spectators, as well as the status of the athletes.
But if you deliberately commit "tactical suicide", then even the gods can't control you.
Bang————————————————————
Guy quickly struck out, and he felt even better with this shot than before. This made him feel a little lucky. Fortunately, it happened again. This time, the feeling of connecting and accelerating... would definitely be stronger!
Guy sprinted with all his strength. He even felt so good because of this shot that he forgot about the seventh lane and seemed to have shouted something.
Just when Guy was about to enter the acceleration zone and send his hips with a smooth feeling, a voice suddenly appeared, causing his entire sense of smoothness to disappear and be annihilated.
Because this sound is a "di-di-di-di" sound.
In a sprint race, it means that the start is invalid and must be recalled and restarted.
Guy was so angry that he vomited blood. Due to the inertia and force of this shot, he even had to run in the middle before he could stop it completely.
Turn around and look.
Was it the seventh lane that jumped the gun?
And this false start time is even lower than 0.050s!
Failed to press the gun? impossible!
This is intentional!
Who suppressed the gun to this extent! ! !
While Zhao Haohuan raised his hand, he looked at Guy with a look that was obviously a bit joking.
"Okay, Tim, it's even now, he also ran twice."
"Now, it's fair."
Before Su Shen could say anything, Zhao Haohuan patted Su Shen's shoulder gently, turned around and said "Come on", then tore off his competition number plate and followed the staff out of the arena.
Now, there are only five people left on the field.
Bolt even feels like he is about to turn into Jordan.
I feel a little exhausted and want to stick out my tongue to dissipate heat.
