The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1829 This is the match that should have taken place at the Bird's Nest four years ago

Chapter 1829 This is the match that should have happened at the Bird's Nest four years ago

Despite many unfavorable circumstances, Merritt was still able to run under 12 seconds.

This shock made Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang understand once again before the game why Su Shen asked them to pay special attention to this American athlete this season.

This strength...

Even Liu Xiang was at his peak.

I'm afraid I don't have the endurance of his dual guns.

At least the ability to use dual guns to the extreme.

Liu Xiang is not as good as Merritt.

Liu Xiang, who grew up in a traditional system environment, usually only has the ability to burst out with one shot. Liu Xiang himself knows this, and Sun Haiping also knows this.

I thought that it was impossible to enter the game in 13 seconds, and few people in history could do it. But I didn't know that this year's US representative, not to mention Merritt, Richardson could do it.

Under great pressure, everyone ignored...

When the shot was fired, Xie Wenjun was still inside.

Yang Jian was also frightened.

Li Tao was also stunned.

This result really made them doubt their own eyes at first glance.

Except for Merritt who was first with 12.94s.

The second was Ryan Brathwaite, a World Championship medalist who was no match for him. Generally speaking, 13 seconds in the semifinals was not bad, but who asked him to be in the same group with Merritt?

Merritt has been way too much this year.

Ryan Brathwaite was a little dumbfounded by the scene just now. After finishing the run, he immediately looked back at the replay on the big screen above his head, and then he was sure that he was not mistaken...

Merritt actually hit the hurdle just now.

But he also really...strikes back.

It has not been affected.

This state...

so horrible.

Ryan Brathwaite, an OW medalist, thinks this way about Merritt. Now that the others have seen Merritt run out with this shot...

My heart is in turmoil.

The bookmakers also quickly adjusted the odds based on this. Although Merritt was originally ranked first, surpassing Liu Xiang, the odds for the first place can still be increased, and the original odds can be raised.

After Merritt's shot, the whole world was completely proven.

Although I am a late bloomer.

But the strength has definitely reached the strongest level in history.

“I didn’t run well enough in this shot, but fortunately, I still got a good result of 12 seconds.”

"I admit that I was a little nervous at the beginning, but fortunately I adjusted quickly and hitting the hurdles was not a big problem. Doesn't Alan Johnson hit the hurdles often? This does not affect his greatness in the 110-meter hurdles."

"Yes, I feel like my physical condition is at the best level of my life. I am looking forward to having an opponent who will let me go for it."

"The most suitable person for this opponent is undoubtedly... Liu."

“Only world record holders and Olympic record holders can give me the strongest stimulation.”

"So Liu..."

"See you in the final."

As he spoke, he showed his signature big white teeth, chuckled twice at the camera, and started walking towards the athletes' passage.

Merritt really likes Liu Xiang and wants to bring him down personally.

Otherwise, why don’t you go to the United States to be an idol?

Really like you below...

Everyone treats you as an object to be defeated.

The third is…

Thanks Wenjun.

In fact, this is nothing surprising, because in the previous life, the third place in this shot was originally... Xie Wenjun.

In his previous life, he had been receiving traditional training, so he had the ability to be ranked third. He had been training on Ersha Island for three or four years...

There is no reason to say that the results are worse than at this time in the previous life.

That can only be better.

Xie Wenjun used all his energy in this shot.

He is running here as if the semi-final is the final.

Because this is his first time participating in the Olympics, there is no need to think too much. Being able to enter the finals is the biggest victory.

In order to achieve this goal, we went all out in the semi-finals.

It’s a good decision.

Even though everyone's attention was focused on Merritt's exaggerated performance, at the very least, the focus would be on Ryan Brathwaite, whose strength gap with Merritt was not that big.

Although Xie Wenjun was the third in this race, few people paid attention to him. He was the third with the least presence in this 110-meter hurdles race.

"The third place is... our country's contestant Xie Wenjun!"

Seeing the five-star red flag following the third result, Yang Jian immediately said, "Xie Wenjun 3!"

"Xie Wenjun 13.24s, third in the group!"

"From this point of view, he has a good chance of entering the finals. He has already surpassed the third place in the previous group, Lawrence Clarke, who finished 3s."

"As long as the third and fourth place finishers in the next group both run above 13 seconds, Xie Wenjun will qualify for the finals. It's a remarkable achievement for a young athlete to make it to the finals in his first Olympic Games."

"That's for sure." Li Tao also said: "This shows that he doesn't have too many psychological factors affecting the Olympics and can give full play to himself."

"This alone is something that many domestic athletes cannot do."

Yes.

once Upon a time.

This is the most difficult thing for our domestic athletes to do.

It seems like it's at the Olympic track and field stadium.

Give full play to your potential.

just now.

It seems like this curse has finally been broken.

It’s not just sprinting.

110m hurdles.

This seems to have happened as well.

These are all absolutely positive.

Xie Wenjun himself was excited. He was very satisfied that he could run this shot in the Olympics. As for whether he could enter the finals, that was entirely up to fate.

It's his own piece anyway.

Do your best.

It has already been done.

If 13 seconds and 24 meters still can't get in.

Then I can only accept the defeat.

But in his excitement, he suddenly thought of what Su Shen said to him before the game...

These people are not necessarily in good shape.

Even though their PB is better than yours, it is hard to say whether they can perform well.

The greatest basic attribute of our Ersha Island is stability.

You just need to do your own thing and don't worry about how the others are running.

It seems that these words are not very significant when separated, but when they are put together, they play a huge guiding role in the direction of the entire game.

Xie Wenjun found that after washing, it was exactly in line with what Su Shen said. And he followed what he said, only focusing on the rhythm of his own shot, and turned the disadvantage of the 7th pass into an advantage.

And all this was done with just one word of advice from Su Shen.

If you don't think about it in series.

Maybe they think it’s just a few words of advice from seniors before the game.

But when you put it all together, Xie Wenjun finally understood it more deeply...

Why do these people admire Su Shen so much?

Why does Su Shen, at this age, have such authority in Ersha Island, the holy land of domestic track and field circles?

that's it.

Can an ordinary coach do this?

Don't talk about ordinary coaches.

Sun Haiping is now the best coach in Asia, and Xie Wenjun is very grateful to be able to be his disciple.

He now feels that even if it is Sun Haiping.

It is also impossible to give him such precise impromptu guidance before the game.

No wonder people on Ersha Island say that Su Shen’s strongest point is not his body, but his brain.

Now Xie Wenjun has a deeper understanding of this.

Host Andrew Turner was fourth in 13.42.

Fifth place was Selim Nuruddin with a time of 13 seconds.

The sixth place was Dimitri Bascu, whose score was also 13.55, losing to Nuruddin above by points.

But there is no need to argue about this thousandth point.

Anyway, we can't make it to the semi-finals.

Seventh was Paulo Cesar Villar with a time of 13.63s.

Eighth was Konstantin Shabanov with a time of 13.65s.

……

At this time, the English broadcast on the electronic radio once again sounded like a strong London accent:

"Please prepare for the men's 110m hurdles semi-finals group 3."

Hear this.

Liu Xiang pushed the ground with both hands to support himself, checked himself, and then prepared to stand in the third group with the staff in the back row.

At this time, Liu Xiang happened to see Sun Haiping's expression. Sun Haiping's expression was very stiff and full of worry.

When Liu Xiang saw this, he suddenly turned around, waved to Sun Haiping, and said, "Master, don't just stand there, go outside and watch my performance."

"It's never as comfortable to watch it on TV as it is to watch it outside."

Sun Haiping listened.

He didn't expect Liu Xiang to comfort him at this time. He suddenly felt that he was a bit derelict in his duty as a coach, because at this time, as a coach who didn't have to play in the game... he should have comforted Liu Xiang in this regard.

result.

Sun Haiping still had nothing to say to Liu Xiang. He patted his cheeks vigorously and said to Liu Xiang: "Okay, I will go outside to watch you and Wenjun meet up successfully."

"Come on, Xiang."

Originally, Sun Haiping wanted to give some reminders.

Let Liu Xiang pay attention to his injured leg.

But when the words came to his lips, he suppressed the thought.

Because saying this at this time will affect the morale and spirit of the army.

It is very likely that Liu Xiang has prepared himself mentally for the idea he just pushed away, and will pull it back again.

Thinking of this, Sun Haiping said nothing, turned around and left. Of course, when he walked out of the waiting area, he immediately turned around and asked the two team doctors and physiotherapists beside him what Liu Xiang's current physical condition was.

Is there any problem waiting for the semi-finals?

When this question was asked, both the team doctor and the physiotherapist looked embarrassed.

Look at each other.

None of the three gave an answer at the first time.

Because they had just been helping Liu Xiang relax and activate himself before the game, they knew Liu Xiang's current physical condition best.

The rest is easy to say.

There weren't any problems with the other muscles, except for the area around his injured leg...

Compared with the preliminaries, different degrees of muscle reaction were already obvious.

Especially the pain at the trigger points is aggravated.

The muscles in the Achilles tendon have become over-strained and over-stretched.

In fact, they don’t know how long they can hold on.

Liu Xiang has been frantically increasing the intensity of his training in the past two months, especially in the past month, when he was really risking his life to increase his capacity.

This would be Liu Xiang from the previous life.

It has been useless for a long time.

My body simply can't hold on till now.

In other words, Su Shen helped Liu Xiang rebuild his deep muscle system in the past four years. In addition, he arranged for Liu Xiang to have an Achilles tendon surgery early, so the recovery time was longer.

These factors combined have given Liu Xiang the capital to survive until now.

However, this does not mean that these funds will never end.

There is still an end.

Now Liu Xiang has pushed him to the limit.

Merritt put too much pressure on me.

From Liu Xiang's perspective...

If he didn't do this, he might not even have enough confidence to go up and fight Merritt. This is no joke. With this shot, Merritt has opened four or five shots in a row within 20 seconds in more than 12 days.

What kind of intensity is this?

With this intensity, don’t even mention Liu Xiang.

Which short-span expert in history would not be scared when seeing this?

It's normal to be afraid.

To have no fear at all is ignorance.

Knowing the fear, and then quickly learning from the shame and being brave, stimulating himself to improve his condition, is what Liu Xiang is doing now.

He also believes that he has already maximized the training intensity and capacity that he can currently achieve.

This is the best he can do against Merritt right now.

In fact, Liu Xiang originally thought that he was on par with him.

Especially after this period of time, after desperately increasing his strength and capacity, he should be able to fight him on equal terms. But in the semi-finals...

It’s still the feeling that Liu Xiang has been trained back with great difficulty.

Smashed to pieces.

Although I don’t want to admit it.

But now there is a problem that you must face.

That's Merritt right now.

It is very likely that his condition has surpassed mine.

Even when I was in my prime, the young and healthy self.

They were all surpassed by him.

It is not certain that you can beat him.

This is why Liu Xiang's smile disappeared and his face darkened the moment he turned around after talking to Sun Haiping.

Not to mention.

Before he faced Merritt.

He also has to have a duel with the defending champion Dairon Roberts first.

Liu Xiang didn't know what state Roberts was in. So they speculated that Roberts either missed or turned down these international competitions. There must be some personal reasons, not as simple as Cuban Tianxie said.

But what if they are just throwing a smoke bomb?

You can't help but consider this possibility.

What if they recover before the Olympics?

At least in the preliminaries it seemed like he easily took first place and advanced.

In this history, Roberts was originally the first in the group 3 of the semi-finals.

That is, before the finals.

You are not really sure what is going on with Roberts. If Liu Xiang wants to fight with Roberts here...

He is not Merritt who has gone crazy this year.

Sun Haiping does not think that this year's Liu Xiang, especially the current Liu Xiang, is still capable of running under 13 seconds with both guns.

In fact, he has never done anything like this in history.

Liu Xiang's extreme double-gun ability has never been good. This is a problem with our training methods and training system, which leads to his physical reserves being completely insufficient compared to European and American athletes.

Otherwise with his talent.

This shouldn't be the case.

But now Liu Xiang is 29 years old and will not have another chance. All he has to do is seize the present.

So this shot is a competition with Roberts.

It was a shot that showed the trend of the three-point shot in the Olympic finals. He had to protect the big Q, test the condition of Roberts, and restrain and preserve his own physical strength.

Of course, the most important thing is...

He also had to endure the severe pain in his Achilles tendon to complete the shot.

Can't exert too much force yet.

What if it pulls to this fragile area.

The final was also sent.

Considering these issues...

This shot was much more difficult for Liu Xiang than for Merritt.

The unknown factor now also appears to be much higher.

Otherwise, why would the Chinese Sports Channel start with -

This should be the scene of the 2008 110m hurdles final at the Bird's Nest.

Because at the Beijing Olympics.

The scene everyone expected before the game.
