As Wang Meng expected, all three members of the Chinese short track speed skating team successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Among them, Li Yuang and Lin Xiaojun both advanced to the first place in the group, while Han Tianyu advanced to the third place in the group.
Originally, Han Tianyu had a chance to compete for the first place in the group, but unfortunately, the Korean player Li Junrui in the same group was targeting Han Tianyu throughout the game. Although there was no foul, he kept pestering Han Tianyu to prevent him from skating at his own pace. This also caused Han Tianyu to consume a lot in the group stage.
In the next women's 1000m preliminaries, the Chinese team Han Yutong, Qu Chunyu and Zhang Chutong all advanced to the next round smoothly.
After the women's 1,000-meter preliminaries, the men's 1,500-meter semi-finals will be held. While each team is waiting to be divided into groups, they are making final preparations.
Korean team rest area. Cui Guangfu reminded: "I reiterate, position! Position! Position! There are seven players in each group in the semi-finals, and the track is very crowded!"
"Coupled with the malicious targeting of the referees in this Winter Olympics, everyone must grab a favorable position in the first half! Otherwise, it will be easy to be fouled in the second half!"
In Cui Guangfu's eyes, the Korean team only made misjudgments and no fouls! In the previous game, the Korean team was penalized because the referee took black money!
Seeing that Huang Daheng was staring at the Chinese team's rest area next to him, Cui Guangfu seemed to be thinking of something, and said again: "By the way, let me remind you again...don't hold back when you meet the Chinese team!"
"Especially Li Yuang. No matter who meets Li Yuang in the semifinals, I don't care what you do, just keep him in the semifinals!"
"Of course the other players in the Chinese team can't make it easy for him!"
Before the start of the BJ Winter Olympics, Lin Xiaojun, who changed his nationality to represent the Chinese short track speed skating team, was the most hated skater by the Korean people! And now, Li Yuang has successfully snatched that title and once again became South Korea's most disliked international player! He was even called the "number one villain" by Korean netizens!
Soon the men's 1500m semi-final grouping situation was shown on the big screen. The three players of the Chinese team were divided into three different groups. Interestingly, the three Korean players were also divided into three groups!
Huang Daheng was a little disappointed after seeing the grouping. In the semi-finals, he most hoped to meet Lin Xiaojun or Li Yuang! As a result, he was assigned to the second group with Han Tianyu.
Back then, he took over the throne of "Korean short track brother" from Lin Xiaojun, and even forced Lin Xiaojun to go to China! For this reason, he also received some criticism within the team.
Some even said that he squeezed Lin Xiaojun away because of fear!
If you meet Lin Xiaojun in the semi-finals and block him from the finals, you can prove that you are stronger than Lin Xiaojun!
Although Huang Daheng has defeated Lin Xiaojun several times in this year's World Cup, but that was just the World Cup! And this is the Winter Olympics!
As for the "number one villain" Li Yuang, as long as a Korean player can defeat him, he will definitely be blown away by the public!
…
In the Chinese team’s rest area, Jin Shantai also reminded everyone of the importance of position!
With the refinement of short track speed skating rules, the opening position has become increasingly important even in middle and long distance events!
In the entire BJ Winter Olympics cycle, in the 1500-meter race, the only athlete who hung at the back of the team in the first half and exerted his strength in the second half, and was able to win the championship in the end, was Li Yuang!
After the groups came out, Ahn Hyun-soo reminded: "Everyone must pay attention to the Korean players. Judging from the situation in the last round, the Korean team is targeting us! From what I understand, there is a high possibility of someone playing dirty tricks in the semi-finals!"
"The best way is to grab the promotion position. Even if they do something evil, they will still be sent to the finals!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, only Li Yuang lowered his head and remained silent.
Li Yuang knew that the Korean team targeted the Chinese team solely because he threatened to "not let Korean players get on the podium" that day. Thinking about it, the Korean team also had the same idea and probably wanted to stop them.
"Li Yuang! Especially you, you must pay special attention! Even if Park Jang-hyuk, who is in the same group as you, enters the 1500-meter final, he has no chance of winning. Therefore, he is likely to 'change one for one' in the semi-finals."
An Xianzhu said solemnly. Li Yuang has been listed as the "number one villain" by Korean netizens. If he is Cui Guangbo, there is a high probability that he will arrange for Park Jang Hyuk to "double his son" Li Yuang!
Seeing that Li Yuang was distracted, An Xianzhu shouted twice more: "Li Yuang! Li Yuang!"
Li Yuang was distracted when he heard An Hyun-soo calling him and said quickly: "Huh? Coach An... I will never let Park Jang-hyuk advance to the finals!"
"The Korean players are lucky. When they met me in the last round, there was no way they could advance to the semifinals!"
Ahn Hyun-soo had a dark look on his face... He just wanted to remind Li Yuang to pay attention to Park Janghyuk's actions, but he didn't tell Li Yuang to kill Park Janghyuk!
Using Park Jang-hyuk as the "duizi" and Li Yuang is called wisdom, but using Li Yuang as the "duizi" Park Jang-hyuk can only be called brain-dead!
Which coach would arrange for its ace player to risk being penned against the opponent's unknown player?
Ahn Hyun-soo quickly said: "Lee, Park Jang-hyuk doesn't matter! Even if he reaches the finals, he won't be on the podium! You must ensure that you advance safely!"
Li Yuang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Coach An! You will definitely fulfill your mission!"
An Xianzhu nodded with satisfaction... Li Yuang was silent just now. He thought Li Yuang made the decision after an ideological struggle! As everyone knows, Li Yuang was thinking about how to kill Park Jang Hyuk while ensuring his own safety from beginning to end!
…
The men's 1500m semi-finals started, and Lin Xiaojun, who took the lead, skated very smartly. He chose the fourth place right at the beginning of the game.
And in front of him is Korean player Li Junrui!
Lin Xiaojun knows very well that the Korean team wants to defeat his determination! If you don't want to be hacked by the Korean team, you must either grab the top two positions or follow behind Li Junrui!
Taking into account his easily injured physique, Lin Xiaojun chose the latter!
He followed Li Junrui throughout the game. No matter how big the space in Li Junrui's inner lane was, he never surpassed him!
This gave Li Junrui the idea that "Lin Xiaojun is nothing more than that".
In the end, Li Junrui's group advanced to the final group A first, and Lin Xiaojun's group ranked second to advance to the final group a. Liu Shaolin was sentenced to the final group A because he was fouled by a Canadian player when he was in the promotion position in the eighth round.
When Li Junrui returned to the Korean team's dugout, the whole audience could hear Cui Guangfu's roar! The reason is that Lin Xiaojun, who was in the same group as him, advanced...
】
The second member of the Chinese team is Han Tianyu. The competition in this group is fierce! As soon as the game started, the contestants started fierce competition for the top two positions! There are even more frequent performances of heretical transcendence!
After making a mistake, Du Boyins fell off the track. Now Huang Daheng did not dare to take advantage of the situation, so he could only temporarily give up the idea of dealing with Han Tianyu and race seriously!
With three laps left in the race, the accident happened again!
When Kneigert of the Netherlands was about to overtake Simon on the inside lane, he hit the ice with his powerful skate! The moment Knegt fell to the ground, Han Tianyu and Kruger behind him couldn't dodge and fell out!
In the end, the South Korean team Huang Daheng and the Russian Olympic team Simon advanced to the final group A, the Canadian team Du Boins was sentenced to the final group A, and Han Tianyu was sentenced to the final group B.
After walking off the ice rink, Han Tianyu returned to the rest area and sat on a chair without saying a word. He was very disappointed with himself!
During the bj cycle, he can clearly feel the decline in his abilities! The bj Winter Olympics is basically his last Winter Olympics! The 1,500-meter event is most likely the last individual event he will participate in!
Failure to advance to Group A of the finals is a great regret for Han Tianyu!
"Brother Tianyu..."
"Carp? Why haven't you warmed up yet?"
Li Yuang smiled and said: "Brother Tianyu, the result of the competition cannot be changed, but we can change the result of the next event!"
"Next event?" Han Tianyu pondered for a while and said, "You mean the 5,000-meter team relay?"
"Yes! Do you still remember the agreement we made four years ago? We agreed to do it again in four years..."
After finishing speaking, Li Yuang looked up at the ceiling of Shouti and said: "Brother Dequan and Brother Xu have not been able to come to Shouti. We must work together with him!"
yes! The four-year agreement... is already very lucky! I have to work hard together with the regrets of Chen Dequan and Xu Hongzhi!
After thinking about it, Han Tianyu raised his head and looked at Li Yuang.
Seeing that Li Yuang was still looking up at the ceiling at a 45° angle, he said, "What a carp! It's all on your brother Tianyu's head!"
"Go and warm up now!"
With that said, Han Tianyu stood up and pretended to be angry, while Li Yuang smiled "hehe" and ran towards the ice rink.
Looking at Li Yuang's leaving figure, Han Tianyu thought to himself: This is the Chinese short track speed skating team!
