"Dear viewers, the semi-finals of the men's 110-meter hurdles at the Daegu World Championships are about to begin." Yang Jian's voice continued to sound on the TV: "This competition is also a test of physical fitness in the 110-meter hurdles."
"Everyone has to participate in the test of the final directly after the semi-finals, and with zero false starts, I wonder if there will be a miracle like Daegu's in the 110-meter hurdles this time."
"We can see that Liu Xiang came out first."
Liu Xiang was still wearing his characteristic red jersey and red running shoes. Under the introduction of the host, he took steady steps and his expression became slightly serious. He raised his right hand and waved to a section in the stands. Wave.
And the place where he waved was filled with the flags of flower-growing families and flower-growing families.
Although the proportion is not large at Daegu Stadium, it can still make Liu Xiang feel excited.
That’s the benefit of being a world-class florist-athlete.
No matter where you play.
You will always have your compatriots there to support you.
This advantage is that the Chinese are everywhere, and it is unmatched by people from other countries.
"Liu Xiang's score in the preliminaries was very good, reaching 13.20s, which was better than the rest of this group." Yang Jian said: "I hope Liu Xiang can recover as soon as possible. The state of this shot in the semi-finals is even better than the previous one." Better guns.”
"Although this time, the main competitor, Robles, is already standing next to him."
Robles struck a thoughtful pose and gave the camera a bright smile.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Although Merritt, the great player next year and the world record holder, is still present in this competition, but now...
He is still unknown to this.
There is no good visibility or attention.
Even Merritt's biggest problem is that his rhythm is easily affected when fighting against strong players.
Therefore, he basically never won against Liu Xiang even in 2012, when he was in the best condition.
He is not the kind of person who has a strong rhythm. He needs to establish his own rhythm in the current game, and then he can run better and smoother. If someone gives him strong rhythm pressure in a confrontation, he will not be able to perform at all.
So in this timeline, he hasn't come forward at all.
Even the best time was 13.09 seconds, which didn’t attract much attention at all.
The number one hurdler in the United States now belongs to Oliver the Muscle Rod.
Merritt has nothing to do with him for the time being.
The player’s path also followed:
The first pass of Bascu's French preliminaries was 13.51 seconds, a career best time of 13.37 seconds.
In the second lane, Phillips's Jamaican preliminary time was 13.53 seconds, a career best time of 13.39 seconds.
In the third lane, Merritt’s U.S. preliminary time was 13.36 seconds, his career best time was 13.09 seconds.
In the fourth preliminaries, Liu Xiang’s flower gardening time was 13.20 seconds, his career best time was 12.85 seconds.
In the fifth lane, Robles’ Cuban preliminary time was 13.42 seconds, his career best time and 12.87 seconds.
Lane 6 Turner's Kitty Eagle national preliminaries time was 13.32 seconds, career best time 13.22 seconds
In lane seven, Villa Colombia’s preliminary time was 13.55 seconds, career best time of 13.29 seconds.
In the eighth lane, Mahizek's German preliminary score was 13.53 seconds, his career best time was 13.48 seconds.
Liu Xiang is in the fourth lane, right between Merritt, the future hurdles king, and Robles, the North Olympic champion.
This may be a kind of inheritance, but most people today don't know who Merritt is.
Just think of him as Liu Xiang's little fanboy.
None of Liu Xiang's fans regard him as his main competitor.
"The contestants have all come to the track to see what the results of this semi-final group are."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, the electronic password sounded from the live broadcast signal:
"on your marks."
"set."
Bang——————————————————
Liu Xiang's reaction to this shot was not quick, and he seemed to be conserving energy for his preliminaries.
Only 0.180s, and he may not want to repeat the "Bolt-like mistake" in the semifinals.
In fact, everyone's response was very slow.
Liu Xiang is not the only one.
For example, Merritt's reaction was only 0.230s.
Robles was actually faster, but it was only 0.159s, which just opened 0.160s.
This kind of reaction may be okay for others, but for Liu Xiang, it is completely different.
Liu Xiang's reaction was always very quick, and he obviously had some reservations about this shot.
I never thought about fighting to the death.
"The gun fired during the competition, and the eight people shot out of the starting point like an arrow from a string!"
"Liu Xiang started a little slowly, but Robles grabbed the first place immediately. The Cuban players had a clear advantage in the first half!" (Merrit from the United States also had good results)
"Robles' advantage is still very obvious. Liu Xiang is catching up. American player Merritt has also passed the front. Liu Xiang is temporarily ranked third."
"Look at the running on the way. Is Merritt going to overtake Robles? Liu Xiang's speed is gradually stabilizing, and he will try his best again in the later stages!"
"The last three columns!"
"Liu Xiang picked up the speed and started to chase, chase, chase!"
"The speed is up! Liu Xiang starts to overtake! Liu Xiang is already in front of the last hurdle!"
“This group is very competitive!”
"Three people are inseparable...cross the line!"
"Wow!"
"The last three people in this shot almost crossed the finish line side by side." Yang Jian looked at the slow-motion replay and said: "Looking at it this way, Liu Xiang should be better, and he should be the first one in the end!"
"Liu Xiang should be the first." Li Tao also looked at it and said: "I didn't expect this shot to be so thrilling. Robles still has a huge advantage in front. Liu Xiang's shot started a little slowly, but let me I think the only exception is the American player, Merritt in the third lane, the starting speed of this shot of this player in 1985, just look at it...it's only 0.230s, the slowest among all the players."
"But the sense of speed he showed earlier made me feel... he seemed to react very quickly."
But now I am slightly surprised to mention that the main competition is still between Liu Xiang and Robles.
The final result came out, Liu Xiang finished first in the group with 13.31 seconds.
Robles was second in the group with 13.32s.
Merritt's 13.32s was the same as Robles, but lost to Robles in the 1,000th place and could only be temporarily ranked third.
And this shot was a 1.4 meter headwind.
The 1.4m headwind has occurred several times at this year’s World Championships.
This is what happened in the men's and women's finals, and now again, the hard power of this shot is actually far stronger than what is shown.
Even after Liu Xiang's "eight reforms and seven changes", he was still invincible and was able to kill these people.
But looking at Liu Xiang's own expression, he was still satisfied. In the end, he gave up, but he was still first, and that was enough.
This shows that his condition today is indeed good.
Quite good.
First of all, he retained a lot of energy when starting up, and secondly, he also retained a lot of energy during the entire process.
Let's see who has more reservations, him or his opponent.
Because he also believes that these people will not use their full strength in the semifinals.
However, the 110 hurdles were the two-group semifinals, and they are not now, so Merritt can still maintain his big Q advantage.
Advance directly.
The fourth in this group is Turner from Kitty Hawk Country, with a score of 13.44s and a reaction time of 0.186s.
Fifth is France's Bascu, with a score of 13.62s and a reaction time of only 0.183s.
…
This all shows that the zero false start and the false start in the 100-meter trapeze battle gave everyone a wake-up call.
Almost everyone is slower than their normal training and normal competition.
It can be seen that the power of zero false starts has gradually emerged.
No one wants two years of hard work to be wasted because of one mistake.
Track and field competitions are not like football or basketball. Their cycle is very long and there are not so many stages for you to show yourself.
Therefore, opportunities must not be missed easily.
"As long as you make it to the finals, I don't think much else."
When being interviewed by "Dou Rina", Liu Xiang said: "Anyway, I watched him run away."
This sentence "Anyway, I watched him run" has many meanings. The first is a signal - Liu Xiang still has room for this shot.
And there is still a lot of margin.
Otherwise, there is no way to "watch and run".
"Watch and run" in track and field events actually means that how much you want to run depends entirely on your opponent's performance.
If my opponent plays more, I will play more.
If my opponent plays less, I will play less.
The whole theme is "perfect and perfect".
"Come on for the final and do your best in the final."
Liu Xiang doesn't talk too much now. Although things in 2008 have eased, you have to say that it has no impact on him at all.
That's not realistic either.
"I noticed that he was very stable today and started slowly. He obviously saved his strength. Let's wait and see the final." Sun Haiping was also interviewed after the game.
It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with Liu Xiang's performance.
If this continues, even if we are so far behind, we can try our best to catch up. In fact, it will not only restore a lot of confidence for ourselves, but it will also put a strong pressure on our opponents.
Especially Liu Xiang's late-game rhythm has always been invincible.
Alan Johnson was full of praise, not to mention Robles, who was not good at overall rhythm confrontation.
To a certain extent, Robles is closer to Merritt or Oliver in the United States.
He is extremely powerful when running ahead and ahead, but if he is stuck in a stalemate or behind, it will be difficult for you to see him catch up again.
This is the difference in running style.
Liu Xiang's running style will put a huge amount of psychological pressure on his opponents.
So even though Robles seems to be promoted to be walking side by side with Liu Xiang this year, in fact, he has no confidence in Liu Xiang's heart.
Or so to speak.
Except for Liu Xiang's injury, he never had much confidence when facing Liu Xiang.
When Robles saw that Liu Xiang, who had just fallen so far behind and whose reaction at the start was much slower than his own, could catch up with him so easily, or even overtake him, he felt a little beat up in his heart.
I was afraid that I would be matched up in the finals.
is also like this.
Are you telling me that he has undergone major repairs?
Why do I feel like I am the one who has been overhauled?
Robles looked at Liu Xiang's calmness. Although he was a little less youthful than before, he was more calm and steady. He didn't know why, but there were always other thoughts quietly rising in his heart. .
That's what the human animal is like.
good and evil.
It's just a matter of a thought.
He also wants to get the same honor as Liu Xiang, winning the Olympic Games + World Championships.
The more this happens, the more "he can't afford to lose".
And it’s the kind of sports environment in Cuba.
Once you can't do it anymore.
It is estimated that there is a high probability that it will be abandoned and not get much attention.
Considering this, it is not easy for him to climb to the top. It is normal for him to have some unnecessary thoughts and fear of losing.
Especially frontal defeat.
That would make his reputation immediately become much worse than Liu Xiang's.
If you have such confidence and hard power, who wouldn't be willing to fight Liu Xiang head-on.
pity……
Robles asked himself.
It seems to myself.
I don't have the mood for this.
Liu Xiang gave him a sense of oppression and on-the-spot duel.
All too strong.
Even the future start, which he is best at now, seems to be much smaller because of Liu Xiang's "eight changes to seven".
Not to mention the future.
Robles has never had any confidence in himself.
so……
He was really worried that his championship title would be shattered again by Liu Xiang after being injured.
The two of them missed it in 2008 and also missed it in 2009. As a result, they did not actually compete against each other at their peak.
This caused the outside world to exaggerate their battle, which made the two of them forcefully stand in the spotlight.
It won’t work without a duel.
Whoever loses actually doesn’t win.
That's why Robles looks at Liu Xiang now with lingering fear.
Is that late-range acceleration ability and late-range rhythm control ability really a person who has had Achilles tendon surgery?
It's outrageous.
And he was so calm.
Before Robles even started, he had already fallen into a whirlpool.
Hard to extricate myself.
…
After Liu Xiang's group finished competing, the second group also came up.
There are only two groups in the 110-meter hurdles, so if you want to advance, you must run well on this shot.
"Liu Xiang went to take a short rest. Let's take a look at the next semi-finals of the flower growers." Yang Jian adjusted his mood and started again: "The second group of the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals is about to start. Contestant Shi Dongpeng and young player born in the 1990s Xie Wenjun."
"Needless to say Dashi, everyone must be familiar with it. Just look at how young general Xie Wenjun performed with this shot."
"Will there be better results? Take this good opportunity to break through yourself."
While he was talking, the lineup for this game was also printed on the big screen:
Shi Dongpeng's first qualifying time as a flower grower was 13.55 seconds. His career best time was 13.15 seconds.
The second Sharman Kitty Eagle national preliminaries time was 13.52 seconds, a career best time of 13.30 seconds.
In the third track, Richardson's U.S. preliminaries time was 13.19 seconds and his career best time was 13.08 seconds.
In the fourth lane, Thomas's Jamaican preliminary time was 13.31 seconds, his career best time and 13.15 seconds.
Lane 5 Oliver’s U.S. preliminaries time was 13.27 seconds, his career best time was 12.89 seconds
In the sixth lane, Xie Wenjun, a flower grower, scored 13.47 seconds in the preliminaries, a career-best time of 13.30 seconds.
Lane 7 Forbes Cayman Islands preliminaries time 13 seconds 54 career best time 13 seconds 50
In Lane 8, Riley's Jamaican preliminary time was 13.47 seconds and his career best time was 13.32 seconds.
…
"It can be seen that Oishi's results are still among the best, second only to the two American players, Richardson and Oliver."
"If he can play his best, I think he still has a good chance of making it to the finals."
"As for the young player Xie Wenjun, let's see if he can break through his PB and refresh his own results."
"In the finals, I think it will be enough to hit Xiao Q at most."
"Don't have too much psychological pressure."
In fact, Xie Wenjun may have more desire to fight than Shi Dongpeng in this match.
Younger and more energetic, and he has been training on Ersha Island in this life, not to mention other things.
Just polishing your physical fitness and physical foundation will make you much better than before.
Not on the same level.
Therefore, in this competition, he actually wanted to test his accumulation in the past two years.
Although he is still young, he also knows that at this age, Liu Xiang is already a world-class athlete.
You can even strive for a bronze medal in the World Championships.
You can't indulge in the lie of "youth".
Brother Xiang and President Su both said, "You are still young" is the biggest lie for athletes.
I must keep it in mind.
As an athlete.
You gotta catch it.
There are only these in front of me.
Rather than the so-called illusory future.
"Let's take a look at the performance of the second group in the semi-finals." Yang Jian saw that the athletes had all reached their own lanes. After sinking in the squatting position, his voice also lowered and he said: "Looking at the usual results, we still have a chance. of."
"Let's see if it can be realized."
"Three people are standing in the finals."
"Cheer for Dashi and Xiaoxie."
"I hope Xiao Xie won't have stage fright when facing a master like Oliver."
After saying that, the electronic password sounded again.
"on your marks."
"set."
Everyone was ready and ready to rush out.
Xie Wenjun even slapped his chest several times before the shot.
He felt that he felt good in the preliminaries and still had a lot of energy left. As long as the wind speed was not bad, he wanted to break through his limits and open his PB with this shot.
Just as he was thinking about it, gunfire rang out.
Bang————————————————————
"Game start!"
Yang Jian had just called out Sun Haiping and the other track and field members of the Flower Planters who were paying attention to the game.
They all frowned all of a sudden.
"this……"
"what happened?"
PS: After sorting it out, there should be no problem today. Let’s try to get the short-span finals done as well.
Hehe~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the first update~~~~~~~
