It was expected by the Chinese coaching staff that Zou Yuchen would be surpassed, but no one expected that he would be surpassed in such a way!
The Chinese team and the Korean team handed over almost at the same time, but the Chinese team was still in the first position during the handover, handing over in the outermost lane! The Korean team was one position behind the Chinese team and took over inside the Chinese team!
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
In the situation just now, not to mention Li Yuang, even Blue and White knew that the first thing after the handover was to use the positional advantage to cut inside, blocking the Korean team's route and not giving him room to speed up!
Zou Yuchen didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or something else. After the handover, he sprinted in a straight line without any intention of blocking!
"Zou Yuchen! Wake up! This is the final!"
On the sidelines, Wang Meng's shouts resounded throughout the stadium, waking up the sleepy children in the stands, but they couldn't wake up Zou Yuchen on the court!
How can such a low-level mistake happen to professional athletes? Even though the Blue and White made frequent mistakes in the semifinals, he never made such a mistake!
As a professional athlete, it is simply unforgivable to still be like this after skating on the ice for more than ten years!
Wang Meng thought about it carefully. Everything was normal before Zou Yuchen came on the field. Did he start getting nervous from the warm-up?
As a new coach, Wang Meng made an empirical mistake!
In the 1,000-meter final, the Chinese team won all the medals and the mood was high. The atmosphere had already been heightened. Wang Meng directly announced in a high profile that the men's short track speed skating team would win all the gold medals in this Winter Games!
This is an incentive for the three people who have just participated in the competition, but for Zou Yuchen, who has not yet played in the Winter Games, it is different. This is simply a thick shackle hanging on his body. !
Wang Meng did ignore Zou Yuchen's psychological problems, but she couldn't be blamed for this.
What kind of team members does she, Wang Meng, teach?
Li Yuang, Li Wenwu!
The former doesn't know what nervousness is, while the latter has already shown his talent in international competitions, especially in relay events. Naturally, he won't be nervous at a small winter meet!
Even Ankai, after being baptized by the World Cup, will not be nervous in events like the Winter Games.
But Zou Yuchen is different. He has not been baptized on the international stage. His first performance at this Winter Games is the relay final. He is burdened with the pressure of a gold medal, which naturally makes him breathless. Not everyone has a big heart like Li Yuang!
If Zou Yuchen had already had a chance to play in the semifinals, maybe he wouldn't be so nervous now! However, it has always been the tradition of the Chinese short track speed skating team that all members participate in relay events and the old lead the new, and it is impossible to change for a big winter games.
It's too late to say anything now, the players are already on the field, everything can only be adjusted by themselves!
…
"Zou Yuchen! Cut inside! Get rid of him!"
On the ice rink, Li Yuang, who was skating in the inner circle, shouted anxiously, hoping to wake up Zou Yuchen.
Unfortunately, all this was in vain. Zou Yuchen was so nervous that he blocked out all the sounds around him and could only see a distance of more than one meter in front of him.
He can still continue gliding now, entirely because of the muscle memory created by years of training!
At this time, Zou Yuchen could only think in a single line. When he saw something, he subconsciously accelerated, and when he saw a curve, he wanted to bend...
In the first corner after the handover, Yinemov cut in early and overtook Zou Yuchen when entering the corner! The Chinese team fell to third place!
When exiting the corner, Kotaro Kasahara seized the gap in the inner lane to complete the overtake! The Chinese team dropped one place again... After only half a lap, the Chinese team fell from the first position to the last place!
Li Yuang, who was sliding in the inner circle and preparing to take over, became more and more anxious. He wanted to rush forward and replace Zou Yuchen! Unfortunately, we haven’t reached the handover area yet. Unless a competitor falls off the track, two people from the same relay team will be PEN if they are present at the same time.
Seeing the widening gap, Li Yuang became more and more anxious.
Position is not a problem, as long as you give him some time, he is confident that he can overtake him within two laps even if there are six people, let alone three people in front of him.
But you can’t fall too far behind! If Zou Yuchen falls far behind every time, even three Li Yuangs won't be able to catch up!
Li Yuang even wanted to give Zou Yuchen a "scary smile" and make him fall out... Unfortunately, this is not his skill, and the "scary smile" cannot be used on teammates.
At this moment, Yinemov seemed to stagger a little when exiting the corner, but fortunately he adjusted quickly and had little impact.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuang had an idea, turned around and shouted to Li Wenwu who was waiting in the other half: "Wenwu! Get ready for the handover!"
There was a bit of noise at the scene, and Li Wenwu couldn't hear it clearly. He asked An Kai who was standing beside him uncertainly: "Did Carp ask me to hand over just now?"
"Yes, it sounds like I'm handing over too!"
After receiving An Kai's confirmation, Li Wenwu stepped on the ice and rushed forward.
He thought Li Yuang was going to exchange the order of the relay, but he couldn't understand why Li Yuang insisted on exchanging the order of the relay after he had already followed him for almost a lap.
Li Yuang, who was skating with him, had no time to explain so much. He followed closely inside Zou Yuchen, staring at the position of Zou Yuchen's skate.
The moment Zou Yuchen came out of the corner and was about to slide out, Li Yuang shouted loudly: "Team China! Zou Yuchen!"
The sound was so loud that even the players waiting in the other half could hear it clearly!
Chi Chi's voice boomed in Zou Yuchen's ears, and he woke up from his self-enclosed space with a jolt. The skate that was already shaky was accidentally stuck in the ice pit!
He fell out with a cry of "Peng!"
Li Wenwu, who started early, reacted quickly. As soon as Zou Yuchen fell out, he slid onto the track and slid quickly in the direction of Zou Yuchen!
At this time, Li Wenwu was still thinking about Li Yuang asking him to exchange the order of succession... This was considered a change, right?
Everything was seen by An Kai... He was very sure that Zou Yuchen's fall must have been premeditated by Li Yuang! Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Yuang to ask Li Wenwu to prepare for the handover in advance!
Li Yuang wanted to minimize the impact of Zou Yuchen's fall on the Chinese team!
Although he still didn't know how Li Yuang caused Zou Yuchen to fall, when he thought of Hong Jinghuan in the 1,500 meters and Li Junrui in the 1,000 meters... that terrible thought came to mind again!
Now, he was extremely convinced that Li Yuang must have mastered the unique skill of making people fall!
An Kai adjusted the goggles on his face and looked ahead like Conan on TV!
This sight shocked him!
An Kai felt that all the hair on his body stood up. Li Yuang's back in front seemed to be magnified infinitely. He had two horns on his head, a long tail on his back, and a trident in his hand. He looked like a big devil!
An Kai took a breath and warned himself: He must perform well in a while and must not hold him back! This is a big devil! If you are ruthless, you will even trick your own people!
