"Dear viewers, what is about to be held is the men's 5000-meter relay final. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team advanced to second place in the group!"
"In the just-concluded women's relay final, the host Russian team won the championship with a time of 4:14.105. The Japanese team and the Kazakhstan team won the silver and bronze medals respectively."
"The high-profile Korean female catcher, although she crossed the line first in the competition, was eventually disqualified by the referee due to a foul."
"Now it's a simple entrance ceremony. The first one to enter the ice rink is the Korean team. They skated in the semi-finals with a time of 6 minutes, 56 seconds and 152 seconds and advanced to the final group A as the first in group 1! The four skaters are Li Junrui , Park Ji-won, Lee Sung-hoon and Kim Gun-woo. Among them, Kim Gun-woo came on as a substitute for Hong Kyung-hwan."
"The second team to enter was the Japanese team. They skated 6:57.692 in the semi-finals and advanced to the final group A as the second place in Group 1. The four players were Kiichi Moriguchi, Shogo Miyata, and Kazunari Matsumoto. , Kotaro Kasahara."
"The camera showed the third host team, Russia, to enter, and the scene erupted with warm applause! They skated 7 minutes, 08 seconds and 488 seconds in the semi-finals and advanced to the final group A as the first in Group 2. Four players They are Leonid, Yinfriyev, Denis, and Yinimov."
"Okay, the last one to appear is the Chinese team. You can see that the four young men are in good spirits. They are greeting the audience in front of the TV! Since the Chinese team only skated in 7 minutes, 09 seconds and 488 in the semi-finals, the Chinese team Will start on the fourth lane!"
"We saw some changes in the Chinese team's lineup in this final, with Zou Yuchen playing instead of Blue and White."
"This is also the habit of the Chinese short track speed skating team, which is to try to allow as many skaters to play in team events."
…
On the ice rink, Li Yuang saw that Zou Yuchen's body was a little tight, so he quickly stepped forward and gave Zou Yuchen a trick.
"Yuchen, don't be nervous! Just follow the plan and just show your usual training results!"
Zou Yuchen replied slightly nervously: "I...I'm fine..."
This game has been simulated many times during closed training. But that was a simulation after all, not the real finals!
Who would have thought that before the relay finals started, Li Yuang would win all the individual gold medals by himself? And the three main players also won all the gold medals in the just-concluded 1,000-meter final?
Invisibly, the entire short track speed skating coaching staff, including Tian Wenjun, believed that the Chinese team should win this relay gold medal!
This put a lot of pressure on Zou Yuchen!
The game was about to start, and Li Yuang didn't have much to say. Fortunately, he and Li Wenwu appeared at the same time in this game. As long as there were no major mistakes, winning should not be a problem!
"Go to the start."
After hearing the starter's voice, Li Yuang stood on the starting line. The players from the other three countries all looked at Li Yuang in disbelief!
No one expected that in the relay final, the Chinese team would have a substitution!
This change caught other teams off guard, especially the Korean team. In this 5,000-meter relay final, if nothing else happens, the Chinese team and the South Korean team will compete for the gold medal.
Lee Jae-sung of the South Korean team even tacitly acknowledged that Lee Woo-ang could slide the sprint stick, so Park Ji-won, who had one stick, had to establish the lead at the start! Try to widen the distance between you and the Chinese team as much as possible!
Now, let alone widening the distance, whether you can win at the start is still a question!
"We saw that the Chinese team's first stick was Li Yuang. This is an adjustment! In the semifinals, the Chinese team's first stick was Li Wenwu, and the second stick, the sprint stick, was Li Yuang!"
"Considering that the Chinese team will start in four lanes and let Li Yuang slide the stick, there is no problem with this adjustment. But in this case, does the sprint stick have to be given to Li Wenwu?"
In the live broadcast room, Liu Xingyu said worriedly. Li Wenwu also performed very well during his commentary on several relay races. But the Chinese team's sprint champion is not Li Yuang, and he is always unsure.
On the ice rink, Li Yuang was used to this weird look. Skating in the final was not a temporary decision, but a plan made by the Chinese coaching staff early in the morning.
If this were the World Championships or the Winter Olympics, and the top national team lineup included Wuhan University, Li Yuang would just have to prepare a sprint stick. It is a pity that in the Great Winter Games, the Chinese team's personnel configuration can be regarded as average at best. In this team, there is no player who is qualified for the first team.
Therefore, in the final, Li Yuang skated one stick to try to establish a lead in the starting stage. In the later stage, he swapped sticks with Li Wenwu and switched to the sprint stick depending on the situation! It was a plan prepared by the Chinese coaching staff in advance.
It's just that the Chinese team performed abnormally in the semifinals, causing the Chinese team to start in four lanes in the finals, which made this plan look more targeted.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Ready?"
"Peng!" The game begins!
Li Yuang rushed out immediately. If he wanted to establish the lead in the first bat, he had to grab the start!
Li Yuang is already very fast, but Park Zhiyuan is even faster than him! While Li Yuang was cutting inside, he noticed that Park Zhiyuan was obviously ahead of him, so he consciously conserved his energy and slowed down.
He was very confident in his start. Even if he took advantage of the track order, Park Zhiyuan would not be so far ahead. It was most likely due to a false start.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yuang entered the corner, he heard the starter signaling that someone was jumping the gun for a rematch.
Park Zhiyuan, who had already exited the corner, stomped the ice in frustration with his hands on his hips.
Park Ji-won swears to God, he really didn’t want to run away this time! He was just too nervous just now. From the first day of the competition to now, Li Yuang's invincible image has been firmly engraved in his heart.
When he saw Li Yuang about to slide his stick, he panicked and mistook the whistle from the audience for the gunshot in the hands of the referee!
Returning to the starting line... For the second shot, the four of them were much more cautious. No one dared to run away from the gun. Li Yuang was the first to enter the corner with his excellent reaction and explosive power.
Park Zhiyuan entered the corner second with the advantage of pass time, and Yinfriyev surpassed Shogo Miyata to enter the corner third.
…
On the sidelines, the head coach of the South Korean team, Lee Jae-sung, held his head in his hands and was filled with regret! A great start was ruined by Park Ji-won. If he had known earlier, he should have adjusted the order of taking over and replaced him with someone else!
Seeing Li Yuang leading the field, Li Zaicheng began to admire the Chinese team's head coach... In today's game, whether he let Li Yuang protect the skate or let Li Yuang slide the stick, it was a very successful tactic.
He didn't expect that Wang Meng would change his profession to become a coach and be so successful.
Li Zaicheng looked towards the Chinese team's rest area. The first thing he saw was not Wang Meng, but Jin Shantai behind Wang Meng.
He had already noticed Jin Shantae in the previous game, but he felt that it was very embarrassing for the former South Korean national team coach to come to the Chinese team in the winter, and Jin Shantae's status was completely different from that of himself, the South Korean team's head coach. On one level, Jin Shantai was subconsciously ignored.
When he saw Jin Shantae again, he realized that Wang Meng had Jin Shantae to assist him on the left. It was a matter of course for Wang Meng to tactically restrain the Korean team!
