The results of the game are out, and the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals as the first in the group. Now everyone is watching the Korean team fall with a relaxed attitude!
The scene of Park Jang Hyuk knocking himself out was played repeatedly, and the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were amused... tripping over himself was really fun to see!
The camera turned to Choi Guangbo, the head coach of the South Korean team at the time, and his fat face was full of disappointment and pain.
If Cui Guangfu fell down after having physical contact with another team, he could go to the referee team to challenge him, but here he fell by himself... They didn't even have a chance to appeal!
Also in the frame with Cui Guangfu was the Chinese coaching staff next to him... Jin Shantai managed his expression very well. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and immediately returned to normal, but it was still recorded by the camera.
In stark contrast to Kim Sun-tae, Ahn Hyun-soo was next to him. Ahn Hyun-soo didn't care as much as Kim Sun-tae. After laughing, he didn't forget to look at Cui Guangbo...
In the mixed relay semi-finals, the Chinese team was divided into the second group, along with the Hungarian, Russian and American teams!
Jin Shantai was a little hesitant in this game. According to the practice of the Chinese team, substitute players should be sent in this game to let the old players take a rest.
But for an event like the Winter Olympics, is it a bit risky to replace two substitutes?
The current contracts of Jin Shantai and others of the short track speed skating team were signed when Wang Meng was there, and they were signed until the end of the BJ Winter Olympics! At present, the Winter Management Center has no plans to renew the contract. If the results of this Winter Olympics are good, is there a chance to renew the contract?
These are all issues that Jin Shantai needs to consider!
Fortunately, there are still two games left in the mixed relay group stage, so Jin Shantai still has time to think about it.
…
In the Midong Sports live broadcast room, Wang Meng said: "The Korean team is not giving itself a chance!"
"Um?"
"According to the rules, the top two teams in the three mixed relay groups will directly advance to the semi-finals, and then the two fastest third-placed teams in the three groups will also advance to the semi-finals."
"This fall of the Korean team...it is basically certain that three teams from each of the other two groups will advance. As long as they stay steady and don't fall on the ice..."
Huang Jianxiang nodded in agreement, and then the two explained the remaining two mixed relay quarter-finals in a relaxed and happy mood.
As Wang Meng expected, the third place players in Groups 2 and 3 did not rush even when they fell behind. In the end, they took less time than the South Korean team and successfully advanced to the semi-finals!
In the mixed relay semi-finals, four teams from Canada, Italy, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan competed.
In this group, Canada, the Netherlands, and Italy are all close in strength and capable of advancing to the finals. The key to the game is who makes fewer mistakes!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Netherlands, Canada, and Italy directly established their lead, widening the gap with the fourth-place Kazakhstan team! The promotion quota will be determined among these three teams!
After the first handover, Schulting of the Dutch team accelerated and directly established the lead... Just when everyone thought that the Dutch team could easily advance to the group stage, Schulting made a mistake on the court. He fell directly onto the ice!
This is a mistake comparable to that of Park Jang Hyuk!
In the end, the Canadian team and the Italian team easily advanced to the final group A, and the Netherlands and Kazakhstan teams advanced to the final group B.
"Schulting! How could you make such a low-level mistake... This is not a mistake that a player of her level should make!"
In the live broadcast room, Wang Meng was still expressing regret for Schulting and did not wait for Huang Jianxiang to answer. She then said to herself: "Actually, it's normal. The first gold medal in short track speed skating...who doesn't want to compete?"
"Schulting started from the women's 500m preliminaries. Within two hours, this was already the third game of skating. The consecutive games are a double test for the veteran players' spirit and body, especially the last round of mixed relay, the Netherlands The team relies entirely on Schulting to resist!"
"The Chinese team must pay attention. We still have Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun on the bench. We can definitely adjust the lineup for the semi-finals."
Huang Jianxiang, who has not been around for a long time, quickly interjected: "Teacher Wang Meng, what you mean is that the Chinese team will be replaced in the semi-finals?"
"Well... the skaters who appear in the relay semi-finals are also qualified to be on the podium in the end. The Chinese short track speed skating team has always had a tradition of substitute players in the semi-finals..."
"The only problem now is how many people should be replaced...if Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun both play, the risk will naturally be higher."
While the two were chatting, the four teams in the second group had already started to warm up on the ice... As Wang Meng expected, the Chinese short track speed skating team adjusted its lineup in the semifinals.
Wang Meng took a look at the lineup and said: "Looking at this lineup, on the female team, Zhang Yuting will replace Fan Kexin, and Qu Chunyu will be transferred to the first baton; on the men's team, Lin Xiaojun will replace Wu Dajing, which should be the fourth battalion match." Substitute."
The Chinese team was ranked in the same row due to its better results in the previous round, followed by the Hungarian team, the Russian team and the American team in the second to fourth rows!
"Peng!" The game begins!
The Chinese team, Qu Chunyu, tried their best to get the start, but unfortunately, the Hungarian team players in the second lane were obviously more explosive! The two entered the corner almost at the same time. At this time, the Hungarian team was obviously faster and got stuck directly in front of Qu Chunyu!
Qu Chunyu did not give up. After exiting the corner, he immediately added the knife to regain the first position!
At the second corner, the Chinese team and the Hungarian team entered the corner again at the same time. The Hungarian team once again got stuck in front of Qu Chunyu with a slight advantage.
The Hungarian team skated very smartly and deliberately lowered the speed when cornering. This change in rhythm forced Qu Chunyu behind him to slow down. In the next lap and a half, Qu Chunyu never had a chance to overtake.
The Chinese team took over as the second place, and came to Zhang Yuting's bat!
Zhang Yuting, who was participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time, was not nervous, but rather excited! She is confident of overtaking the Hungarian player Konya in front of her!
After exiting the first corner, Zhang Yuting discovered that Konya had not done a good job of protecting the inner road line... Zhang Yuting directly added the knife to prepare for overtaking when entering the next corner!
At this time, the American player in fourth place has surpassed the Russian player and reached third place.
Hungarian player Konya was well prepared. Originally skating in a large circle to accelerate, she cut inside in advance to prevent Zhang Yuting from overtaking on the inside lane!
Zhang Yuting did not give up. She believed in her own judgment. Konya in front of her definitely had a chance when she came out of the corner!
Sure enough... just as Zhang Yuting expected, Konya had no awareness of guarding the inner lane when exiting the corner. Zhang Yuting directly added the knife to prepare to overtake her in the inner lane!
Zhang Yuting speeds up the inner road to surpass!
Since we had just come out of the corner, the situation on the field was relatively complicated... In addition to the second sticks of the four teams, the three sticks preparing to take over at the next corner were also sliding in the inner circle!
Zhang Yuting, who was preparing to overtake in the inner lane, seemed to be affected by the player to be handed over. When she was on the same level as Konya, she could not pick up the speed!
At this moment, the American player pulled out of the corner and surpassed the Chinese team and the Hungarian team in one fell swoop, reaching the first position!
Zhang Yuting, who failed to speed up, was once again stuck behind Konya... In just one corner, the Chinese team fell to third place!
He was about to surpass himself and reach first place, so why did he fall to third place?
"Come on!" "China team! Come on!"
The audience began to cheer for the Chinese team!
Li Yuang, who was sliding in the inner circle, didn't look back at that time. He couldn't see clearly what was going on... but judging from Zhang Yuting's speed, he must have been disturbed!
However, Li Yuang didn't care...the second or third handover had little impact on him!
Zhang Yuting took the last corner, she had slowed down and was ready to hand over! Li Yuang also came on stage to wait for the handover...
At this moment, the second-string player of the Russian team did not know whether he miscalculated the number of laps or slipped a little too much... He did not hand over in accordance with the regulations but directly pulled to the outside lane to overtake!
Now I can't deal with the three Russian players... I'm already on the field. What will I do now if you don't hand over?
It doesn't matter that he was confused, but he made a mistake and got directly between Zhang Yuting and Li Yuang!
The Chinese team was unable to hand over!
Li Yuang, who has been waiting for a long time, is also a little anxious. He doesn't know what will happen next, so he can only wait!
At this moment, Li Yuang felt two hands on his waist... Li Yuang directly kicked off the ice field and rushed forward at a high speed!
The Russian three sticks that failed to complete the handover were inserted directly from the inner circle to the handover area at the exit of the next corner, ready for handover!
In the Midong live broadcast room, Wang Meng shouted again: "Which country is this? It's interfering with our national team! Li Yuang! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you can still chase!"
At this time, the Chinese team was already far behind! Li Yuang no longer cared to think about why Zhang Yuting had no push when handing over!
The Chinese team entered the corner fourth, and Li Yuang, who tried his best, directly used the "bend plus knife" to overtake the Russian team and reach third place when exiting the corner!
Li Yuang did it! When exiting the corner, Li Yuang was on par with the Russian team in one sprint!
Just when he was about to overtake him with his knife, a blue figure flashed out from the inner circle and blocked Li Yuang's body!
This sudden figure caught Li Yuang off guard, and he subconsciously slowed down to avoid...
Fortunately, Li Yuang is also a person who has seen the world. He reacted quickly and used his left foot diagonally. After pulling his whole body half way to the outside, he added a knife to his right foot and prepared to directly surpass the Russian player.
But this Russian player is still pulling outwards!
In an instant, a funny scene appeared on the ice rink!
In the non-handover area, Li Yuang, who was about to overtake after exiting the corner, was "closed" by two Russian players, one inside and one outside!
Li Yuang, who was furious, pushed the two of them away and fought his way out from the gap between the people!
Even so, Li Yuang's speed was still affected, and he could only speed up again!
"It doesn't matter! This action will not be penalized! The Russian team handed over the baton first and violated the rules. Although Li Yuang stretched out his hand to push people, he was mainly to protect his own skating route..."
The situation on the field was widened. The first-place American team was two or three meters away from the Hungarian team, while the third-place Chinese team was three or four meters behind the Hungarian team!
Faced with such a gap, even Li Yuang had nothing to do. He could only shorten the distance with the Hungarian team as much as possible!
It was handed over again, and the Hungarian team took advantage of the opportunity to pass the baton and surpassed the American team in one fell swoop to take the first place!
In the third handover of the Chinese team, Lin Xiaojun took advantage of Li Yuang's push to catch up!
It’s just that the gap between the Chinese team and the second place is too big. Although Lin Xiaojun tried his best, he could only shorten the distance...
After two and a half laps, Lin Xiaojun handed over to Qu Chunyu!
Amidst the shouts of "Come on!", Qu Chunyu sprinted with all her strength. In just one lap, she caught up with the second-place American team! Unfortunately, Qu Chunyu was at the end of her rope at this time, and she could only rely on perseverance to hold on to the second-place American team!
Leave the chance of transcendence to the next one!
Handover again! The Chinese team took advantage of the opportunity of handing over the baton to surpass! Zhang Yuting reached second place!
The American team fell to third place!
This game has entered a fever pitch, and the top three teams of Hungary, China, and the United States all hope to advance to Group A of the finals! No one will give up the promotion spot!
The U.S. team's two-ball team is very strong! She did not give up and took Zhang Yuting's inside lane after exiting the next corner. Then when entering the corner, Zhang Yuting got stuck behind her!
The Chinese team fell to third place again!
Coming to the handover area again... Zhang Yuting's mentality seemed to be affected. Her push was too strong and Li Yuang failed to start speeding immediately!
After Li Yuang quickly adjusted his center of gravity, he began to attack!
It took Li Yuang one lap to catch up with the Hungarian team in second place, and Li Yuang accelerated in a big circle when exiting the corner! Prepare for outsider transcendence!
The American team and the Hungarian team, which had been prepared for a long time, also accelerated in a wide circle! Li Yuang's forward path was blocked by two people again! He dared to reach out to the two Russian players just now, but now he doesn't dare. Once he reaches out, he will be penned!
After surpassing again to no avail, Li Yuang was powerless and could only place his hope on Lin Xiaojun, the last shot!
"Lin Xiaojun! The last shot of the Chinese team! Come on, the Chinese team!"
In the last two laps, Lin Xiaojun increased his speed to the maximum and was ready to overtake at any time!
"Dingle bell..." The bell rang and there was only one last lap left!
At the penultimate corner of the race, Lin Xiaojun cut inside ahead of schedule and stole Liu Shaolin's inside lane!
Just when the audience was about to cheer, Liu Shaolin forced his way inside and took back the second place!
"Lin Xiaojun! Don't foul! Don't foul!"
In the live broadcast room, Wang Meng seemed to realize something and shouted loudly.
Lin Xiaojun's skating style is very clean. When faced with Liu Shaolin's bulldozer-like cut inside, he didn't make a move! But when he was about to corner, someone disrupted his rhythm. Lin Xiaojun's center of gravity was a little unstable, and he stumbled when exiting the corner...
The Chinese team has completely lost hope of overtaking!
In the end, the Hungarian team crossed the finish line first, the American team second, and the Chinese team third...
ps: Xixi: The author is great, Lin Oppa’s first gold medal after naturalization, and the relay gold medal... Can you add more?
