The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1774 Is this the first step in changing history?

In two hours it will be the finals of the straight track event.

Although there is a big time difference between London and China, there are still many domestic track and field fans waiting for this game.

At least more experienced track and field fans understand that the final Diamond League held locally at the Olympics... is likely to be a baseline test for athletes.

What's the status?

You can see the clues with this shot.

In addition, this Olympic Games is likely to be Liu Xiang's last chance to avenge his humiliation. All his fans do not want to wait in front of the screen to follow the latest battle situation.

And at this moment in the lounge.

Sun Haiping asked beside Liu Xiang: "How is your physical condition? Do you feel any discomfort? Especially the ribs and back muscles that Xiaotian mentioned?"

"It's just a normal slight discomfort." Liu Xiang shook his head and said: "After the training intensity increased, I obviously felt different compared to Athens."

"Master, it looks like I'm getting old too."

Liu Xiang's words touched Sun Haiping slightly. After taking Liu Xiang for so long, Liu Xiang had long been his half-son, and Liu Xiang had never been harsh to him or even given him a luxury villa.

The relationship between the two of them is definitely a "master-disciple model" in the history of domestic sports.

The relationship has always been very good, and there has been no breakup.

Don't underestimate this problem. In fact, after becoming famous, many people have conflicts with their former masters and then go solo. This problem has never appeared with Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang is still an emotional person.

"No, Ah Xiang, we are going to compete in the London Olympics soon. It's not good for you to say that. You are only 29 years old, not 30 yet. How old are you?" After Sun Haiping said this, Liu Xiang just looked at the physical therapist pressing the button. His own muscles said: "Of course 29 years old does not count among ordinary people, but on our track...Master, I can't deceive myself about the feeling of my body."

“When I was in Athens, no matter how intense the training was, even if I took a nap, I would be able to recover. But now, let alone the competition, I can feel all kinds of negative feedback coming from my body just as the training intensity continues to increase. ”

"I didn't expect that I would have such a day."

Liu Xiang after 08. In fact, he didn't feel this way too deeply, even after participating in several World Championships, because his opponents were not that strong, and he didn't have such a desperate intensity, so his feeling about this was not as intuitive as it is now.

In this Olympic year, he began to upgrade his training, constantly increasing the intensity, and even after maxing out his fighting spirit...

Only then suddenly did I realize that my body was beginning to be a little overwhelmed and I continued to increase the intensity of training.

There will be a day when I can't bear the intensity of training?

It would have been impossible for Liu Xiang to believe this in 04.

It has been 04 years since 8.

He is also about to become a middle-aged man in his 20s from a young boy in his early 30s. The body is like this. You may feel fine when you don't exercise intensity. Only when you really increase the intensity can you feel the recovery of the body, the elasticity of the body, and the feedback from the various muscle tissues of the body is no longer what it was 8 years ago. a feeling of.

Only by pushing yourself to this training limit can you feel deeply.

"As you get older, your body's functional recovery will be worse. There is nothing we can do about it. But our current training status is very good, and you are close to your peak state." Sun Haiping looked at Liu Xiang and said seriously: "I'm not lying to you, nor did I deliberately write down two results like before to inspire you to fight. I really think your current state is close to your peak."

"Now all we have to do is hold on."

"As long as you can maintain it, then I think there are not many people in this world who can defeat you."

Sun Haiping's words were not meant to cheer up Liu Xiang. He could really feel that Liu Xiang was in a state where he was returning to his peak and was close to the peak Liu Xiang he knew.

That's why he is looking forward to this year's Olympics.

Apart from Liu Xiang himself, he is probably the other person who most hopes to see Liu Xiang reach the top.

"Just keep it." Liu Xiang smiled bitterly. Facing his master, he had nothing to hide or hide. All his emotions could be released naturally. This was the "relaxation" similar to being around family members.

"Master, I'll tell you the truth, this is the first time I feel that just holding on is enough...it's not easy."

"Although there haven't been too many problems with my body yet, this negative feedback has gradually begun."

"I really want it now, right up to the Olympics."

"Just finish the competition quickly."

"Ha, I think I said this in 08."

"Okay, Axiang, for now, our entire team and the people from Ersha Island have done a detailed enough physical examination for you. At least if you maintain the current strength, there will be no problems with your body."

"At least there won't be any major problems in the short term."

"All we have to do now is keep it, keep it."

"Well, okay." Liu Xiang nodded, and then continued to receive physical therapy massage with his eyes closed.

Su Shen was also doing some repairs at this time. He was lying on the other side receiving physical therapy. Although there was some distance between them, it was hard to hear what the two people were talking about. But as of now, Liu Xiang and his team were all The decision was made to keep him on the field.

Even if this is...

A historical change.

Because at this point in time.

Because Liu Xiang felt that his body was getting more and more uncomfortable in the lounge, he finally unilaterally announced that he would give up participating in the next finals.

It was also this retirement incident.

Many people began to worry about Liu Xiang's physical condition.

Then for the first time this year, the negative news about Liu Xiang began to accumulate, and then it seemed like a whirlwind, getting bigger and bigger.

Now that they are ready to continue playing.

That should mean the problem is not that serious.

At this time, Sun Haiping didn't dare to take any risks.

Wait a minute and it will be the final of the 110-meter hurdles.

Short span events will run first.

By then, it will be clear what the situation is like.

……

Time passed quickly, because including the interviews after the game, the rest after walking back and a small amount of food, there was actually not much time left for the athletes to relax and rest.

After about an hour, Liu Xiang had already left the lounge.

Prepare to re-activate your body.

When he went out, Liu Xiang's expression was slightly serious. Compared with when Eugene ran over the wind speed and tied the world record... he was much more solemn.

Maybe Liu Xiang feels it himself.

Merritt, a "newcomer" in the United States who has emerged this year, is in very good shape.

Don't be careless when facing yourself.

Or to put it bluntly -

Liu Xiang is in the current Merritt.

Feeling the pressure.

The women's 100-meter hurdles started first, with a fierce confrontation between Sally Pearson and American Kelly Wells. The level and current state of these two sisters are obviously much higher than the other players.

The two men fought until within the last 10 meters to determine the winner.

In the end, American athlete Kelly Wells defeated Australian hurdle queen Pearson with an advantage of 0.02 seconds.

Before the Olympics, I gave my confidence a boost with 666.

After the women's game.

The men's game comes on.

Because Merritt has been in better and better shape during this period, and even achieved the best result in the world this season at the US Championships, expectations for him are naturally growing. Especially in this game, it was the first time the two met after Merritt opened the game legally for 13 seconds, and even after Merritt took away the WL that should have belonged to Liu Xiang.

Countless reveries start from here.

Supporters of Merritt and supporters of Liu Xiang. Everyone is excited and nervous here.

What's exciting is that these two players who have performed best this season finally meet on the eve of the Olympics.

The nervous ones are their respective supporters...

I am afraid that I will make mistakes in this game.

Confidence took a beating before the Olympics.

Increase the popularity of others.

China Sports Channel.

"Dear viewers, this is China Sports Channel, this is China Sports Channel, I am Yang Jian, and the upcoming game is the men's 2012-meter hurdles final of the 110 Diamond League London Station."

"Chinese player Liu Xiang successfully entered the finals with the first place in the first group preliminaries. The young player Xie Wenjun missed the finals."

"We can see that Liu Xiang is in the fifth lane this time. Next to him is the American player, Merritt, the holder of this year's season best result, and the three-shot double-shooter in the semi-finals and finals of the US Championships Olympic Trials. Richardson of seconds.”

"Although the defending Olympic champion Roberts was still absent from this match, and David Oliver also announced early that he would temporarily stop playing because he did not qualify for the Olympics, the game was still as exciting and valuable as ever."

"Merrit's extremely strong momentum impacted Liu Xiang, who had been firmly ranked first in odds."

"Richardson, who can double-drive for 13 seconds in just two hours, still has the ability to threaten Liu Xiang."

"This game is mainly about Liu Xiang and the other American heroes, who can have the last laugh."

"What is shown on the screen now is the lane split for this game..."

While Yang Jian was speaking, domestic track and field fans had already seen the track list of the finals on TV. According to the total score of the preliminaries, they were ranked from best to worst——

……

It can be seen here that although Liu Xiang is the first in the group, his results are not even as good as Richardson, who ranks second in Group 2.

This is why many people feel worried.

However, everyone did not try their best in the preliminaries.

And Liu Xiang is also the oldest among them.

A little more reservation here.

That is also reasonable.

Everything still depends on the results in the finals.

While everyone was doing their final warm-up, Merritt took the initiative to come over and say hello to Liu Xiang.

He is indeed a typical American.

After greeting his idol, he extended his right hand and asked for a handshake.

Liu Xiang was slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, Merritt showed his big white teeth, so he smiled and said to Liu Xiang, "Liu, my idol."

"Without your eight-to-seven change, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do this."

"So my biggest gratitude to you is this one game, give it your all and beat you."

"I hope this handshake will be a transition between the old and the new era."

"Liu, you will bless me, right?"

Liu Xiang looked at Merritt, who had a sincere face. His slightly dazed expression suddenly turned into the same smile after a few seconds, and then he stretched out his right hand:

"It's an honor to be your idol."

"It's also an honor for you to go all out later."

"I also wish you the best in this game."

"but……"

At this time, Liu Xiang responded to Merritt with the same serious smile: "It's not that easy to defeat me."

"The handover between the old and the new era is not yet that early."

"I am a man from the old times."

"We have no plans to withdraw from the stage of history now."

Merritt was completely lifeless.

He was even happy to see Liu Xiang say this.

He's a true competitor.

And after so many years, he finally broke out once, and he cherished the opportunity to play against his idol.

Still an idol full of fighting spirit.
