After the 500-meter final, there will be a team relay event.
The first event was the women's 3000-meter relay event. The Chinese team was eliminated in the semifinals and failed to advance.
The Chinese women's team has performed poorly this season, ranking 8th in the ISU standings, and may lose its spot in the World Championships at any time. Since the Chinese women's team failed to advance to the finals, Wang Meng was making final arrangements for the men's team in the Chinese team's rest area.
Under normal circumstances, only major competitions such as the Winter Olympics and World Championships will have pre-game arrangements. For competitions like the World Cup, you will skate according to your usual training, and there is nothing to say.
It's just that this Almaty station is slightly different. Wang Meng is leading the team alone for the first time, and the four people participating in the competition are basically cooperating for the first time. Without a few words of advice, she really couldn't rest assured.
"One stick Yu Songnan, we are in the fourth lane, it doesn't matter if we can't grab it at the beginning, don't worry!"
"Leader Li Yuang, your only mission is to give me a super!"
"Three sticks Zhang Weizhi, surpass when you have the chance, hold on if you don't have the chance! The most important thing is not to be impulsive and hold your position!"
"Four sticks An Kai, try your best to increase the speed and use your outsider ability to surpass!"
"The most important thing about the 5000-meter relay is unity! As long as everyone works together, there will be no problem!"
The four of them greeted Wang Meng and prepared to go on the ice to warm up.
Just when Li Yuang was about to leave, he suddenly shouted to Wang Meng: "Auntie..."
"Huh?" Wang Meng looked at Li Yuang with doubts in her eyes...Li Yuang had been calling her "Coach Wang" today. Is it possible that she suddenly called her so intimately?
Li Yuang changed his usual playful smile and made a cheering gesture to Wang Meng with a solemn expression, "No matter how difficult this game is, I will try my best for you! And for the red armor on my body!"
…
"Dear viewers, the next thing to do is the men's 5000-meter relay race. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team advanced to the finals with second place in the group."
"Yes, a total of four teams have advanced, one is the South Korean team, and the four members are Park Jin Gun, Huang Daehyung, Kim Dong Wook, and Guo Yunqi."
"The second Hungarian team, the first to fourth teams are Liu Shaoang, Liu Shaolin, Burjan and Nogrady."
"The three Japanese teams, one to four are Yoshitaka Kazuki, Mikami Kazuya, Kikuchi Kota, and Miyata Shogo."
"The four Chinese teams, one to four are Yu Songnan, Li Yuang, Zhang Weizhi, and An Kai."
"The Canadian team, a traditional relay team, was fouled in the semifinals and missed the final."
"We see a new lineup this time, and we hope this new Chinese team can surprise us."
"..."
On the ice rink, Li Yuang, who was warming up, always felt that Burjan not only looked at him a little unkindly, but also that he was kicked out of the field by him in the second 1500-meter semi-final, which made Li Yuang vaguely curious...
Li Yuang thought for a while, he probably had little interaction with this Buryan, and couldn't understand why he was so hostile to him.
Fortunately, Li Yuang never worries about things he doesn't understand. He sighed softly: "Hey! The only worry for excellence is being envied by others!"
"Carp, what did you say?" An Kai asked from the side.
"I said... I said we can give it a try in this game. You see, the Japanese team is average, but that three-up pull-up that I have never heard of actually slipped the sprint stick!"
"Although the Korean team is strong, they like to overtake in the inside lane and are easily overtaken by PNE."
"The only threat is the Hungarian team. As long as we fight hard, there is still hope for the gold medal."
Li Yuang said boldly. He also wanted to cheer everyone up. If even the athletes on the field did not have the confidence to win before the game, what hope would there be for this game?
Yu Songnan and Zhang Weizhi also gathered around when they heard the two talking.
Seeing that they all nodded in agreement, Li Yuang struck while the iron was hot: "So, after the game started, Yu Songnan tried to overtake the Japanese team with the first shot. For the rest, we will target Hungary and hold on tight! No matter whether South Korea is in the lead or not, Don’t care, everyone!”
Li Yuang said this out of selfishness. In terms of lineup strength, the Hungarian team is on par with the South Korean team. As long as the Hungarian team can bite the Hungarian team, it won't be too far behind South Korea. He can still fight for the last shot.
Thinking of this, Li Yuang stretched out the back of his right hand and shouted: "Team China!"
The other three people put their hands on each other and shouted loudly: "We must win!"
…
"Okay, following the starter's instructions, all four players in one row have arrived at the starting line."
"Peng!"
"The race begins! Yu Songnan, who is in lane 4, reacts very quickly at the start. He overtakes Kazuki Yoshiyuki, a Japanese player in lane 3, and enters the corner third!"
The Hungarian team took the first handover with the outstanding performance of Liu Shaoang. South Korea follows closely behind.
The Chinese team and the Japanese team made friends at almost the same time. As soon as the Japanese player Mikami took over the baton, he used the push to attack Li Yuang's outer lane.
Li Yuang didn't expect that someone would want to surpass him from the outside. He never got used to his opponent's ideas and just pedaled on the ice to accelerate!
"The second-string player of the Japanese team also accelerates very fiercely on the third move up and down! He seems to want to surpass Li Yuang on the outer lane!"
"Li Yuang speeds up! The two of them are speeding in a straight line!"
"Three retreats also cut in early! He actually surpassed Li Yuang?"
On the ice rink, Mikami, who had cut in early, retreated. Seeing the curve approaching Chi Chi, he smiled slightly, thinking that Li Yuang was nothing more than that. A figure cut from his right side and got stuck in front of him as he entered the bend!
At the moment when he completed the transcendence, Li Yuang turned his head and glanced at Mikami Sanya with approval, and smiled at him...
"'Scary Smile', failed!"
The electronic sound of the system came, and the 10% success rate was still a bit low... Fortunately, Li Yuang just made it up temporarily and didn't care.
Li Yuang ignored Sanshang's withdrawal and sped up after exiting the corner to catch up with Huang Daheng in front!
Except for the Japanese players, the sprint sticks of the four teams are all top-notch experts. Even Li Yuang didn't dare to go to Xiaoque at all!
"Liu Shaolin cuts inside, Huang Daheng follows up!"
"Li Yuang didn't cut inside...he chose to turn in at a wide angle!"
"This is...'curving and changing direction to accelerate'!"
On the ice rink, Li Yuang entered the corner directly on all four lanes. While pressing the corner and applying the knife, he changed direction from outside to inside!
Just when Liu Shaolin and Huang Daheng were sliding out of the corner to accelerate, Li Yuang shot directly in their inner lane!
With the strong inertia of turning and cutting, Li Yuang's speed out of the corner was no slower than them!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Three people are cutting at the same time, no one wants to be left behind!
Li Yuang, who was faster and had a shorter distance, passed directly on the inside lane!
After surpassing the two of them in one fell swoop, Li Yuang immediately slowed down to the maximum speed and was ready to hand over to the next one!
