March 6 is the last competition day for short track speed skating at this Winter Games.
A total of 4 gold medals will be born on this ice today. Even if the Chinese women's team has been eliminated, there are still three gold medals up for grabs.
The Chinese short track speed skating team arrived at the venue early, and the team leader Tian Wenjun also came with the team.
The Winter Games events have passed halfway, and the competition for medals has become increasingly fierce! The performance of the Chinese delegation is also the worst ever... In addition to the two gold medals won by Li Yuang, among other events, only Li Zhonglin won a silver medal for the Chinese team in the freestyle ski aerials competition.
Judging from the current situation, the last two events of the men's short track speed skating team are likely to be the last two gold medals for the Chinese delegation. As for the women's 1,000-meter event, judging from the strength of athletes from various countries in the previous two days of competition, even a layman like Tian Wenjun knows that there is little hope.
As Tian Wenjun expected, after the first round, all three men's team members were promoted, while only Xu Aili was promoted from the women's team.
In the semi-finals, Xu Aili lost to Korean player Kim Ah Rang and French player Dresden in the same group, and advanced to the final Group B without a medal. So far, the Chinese women's short track speed skating team has ended except for an inconsequential 1,000-meter Group B final.
What is even more sad is that the women's short track speed skating team failed to advance to the finals of Group A in all events at this Winter Games... Although the Winter Games is not a very important event, judging from the results, China's short track speed skating team failed to advance to the final group A in all events... The women's track speed skating team is in decline and is no longer in its prime.
…
"Wen Wu, An Kai, is your second group a health bureau? 1 minute and 40 seconds... This result can't even make it to final B in our group..." Li Yuang complained.
In the just-concluded men's 1,000-meter semifinals, Li Yuang was placed in a group with two Korean athletes. Li Yuang advanced with 1:28.826, and Li Junrui advanced with 1:29.012. Even third-placed Park Ji-won skated to a time of 1:29.046.
On the other hand, in the second group, Li Wenwu and An Kai teamed up to keep the pace down. Li Wenwu, the first in the group, only managed a time of 1 minute, 40 seconds and 973...
An Kai smiled and said: "Don't worry about the results, promotion is the way to go! Use the minimum cost to achieve the maximum effect! Anyway, with you in the finals, we have nothing to worry about..."
Li Wenwu also said excitedly: "Carp, this opportunity has come! Three against one, we will definitely fulfill the agreement of Captain Tian!"
All three of them entered the finals. The most excited person was not Tian Wenjun or the Chinese coaching staff, but Li Wenwu! As Li Yuang's buddy, he always remembers what Li Yuang said. He doesn't want Li Yuang to not get his diploma because of this incident!
Tian Wenjun on the side heard this and asked with confusion on his face: "What agreement?"
"It's all about it..."
Before Li Wenwu could say anything, Li Yuang reached out and covered his mouth and said quickly: "Hey... there is no agreement! It's a gift!"
"What gift?" Tian Wenjun knew that Li Yuang was glib and said directly to Li Wenwu without waiting for Li Yuang's answer, "Wenwu, tell me!"
Now, no matter how slow Li Wenwu reacted, he knew that Li Yuang had lied to them that night, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Well... Li Yuang said that Captain Tian comes to watch the game every day, and today is the last game day. I want to give you a gift!”
Gift? What better gift than two gold medals?
Tian Wenjun, who has been in official circles for a long time, can tell at a glance that the two of them are talking nonsense. In his opinion, no matter what they say is beneficial to the results, as long as there are results, everything is easy to talk about.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!"
After Tian Wenjun left, Li Wenwu grabbed Li Yuang with his backhand, and An Kai, Lan Bai and others swarmed up and started "torture" him!
At this time, the Chinese coaching staff headed by Wang Meng also began to discuss heatedly. It is rare for three Chinese team members to advance to Group A of the finals at the same time, let alone this Winter Games, even in the World Cup!
…
The conversation was divided into two parts, on the other side was the Korean team's rest area. Li Zaicheng looked sad after seeing the two Chinese players in the second group advance.
When did the Korean short track speed skating team fall to this point? In the past, it was the South Korean team three against one... The situation has changed, and this game turned into one against three South Korea...
Looking at Li Junrui next to him, Li Zaicheng secretly thought to himself: "Li Junrui is indeed very strong, and he is also in the first echelon of the Korean national team. But after all, he is not Li Yuang, and he has no chance of winning in a one-on-three situation!"
The Korean short track speed skating team is very strong, which has also led to serious involution within the circle, not only among the athletes, but also among the coaches.
In this winter meeting, Li Zaicheng went through many layers of selection and made countless connections. Coupled with his resume, he finally won the position of head coach of the representative team!
The most important thing is that Li Zaicheng signed a "military order" with the Korean Ice Hockey Federation! His contract clearly states that he will receive at least hardware from the Winter Games! Once he fails to complete it, he will have no place in the Korean Ice Hockey Federation!
In Lee Jae-sung's original plan, with the strong strength of the Korean national team, he had a high probability of monopolizing four gold medals in the men's event, plus the women's team... five gold medals was completely possible!
Unfortunately, all this was ruined by Li Yuang of the Chinese team!
This crazy Li Yuang, isn’t he the all-around king of the World Championships? If you don’t want to participate in the World Championships, you have to come to the Winter Games!
Li Zaicheng only thinks that Li Yuang is like the nemesis of the Korean team, specializing in the Korean team...
"With three players from the Chinese team advancing, will there be infighting on the field?"
"That's right! If all three players want to win the gold medal, it's normal for accidents to happen, right?"
"Yes, Li Yuang has already won two gold medals, don't the other two Chinese players want to win gold medals?"
"..."
yes! The Korean team can have infighting, why can’t the Chinese team?
Just when Li Zaicheng was at a loss what to do, he suddenly became excited when he heard the discussion of the coaching staff next to him! He quickly came to Li Junrui and said: "Li, cheer up! We haven't lost yet. There is still hope for the finals, and we may even defeat Li Yuang!"
Li Junrui looked at Li Zaicheng in confusion. He couldn't beat Li Yuang even with two helpers. Now that Li Yuang had two helpers, how could he win?
Li Zaicheng didn't notice the contempt in Li Junrui's eyes at all. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with Li Junrui's thirst for knowledge!
In Li Zaicheng's plan, the Chinese team must protect Li Yuang's gold medal, and the other two skaters will protect Li Yuang. According to Li Yuang's skating style, he will definitely stay at the back of the team at the beginning.
What Li Junrui has to do is to save energy in the early stage, save energy in the beginning and not get entangled with other people! Wait for Li Yuang to pull over, and follow Li Yuang to overtake! Just like Leonid in the 1500m final!
If there is no chance, you can still retain your strength and wait for the internal strife in the Chinese team!
