The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1848: Gunshot! Finals! Begin!

China Sports Channel.

"Hello, dear audience, hello, dear audience, this is Tianchao Sports Channel, this is Tianchao Sports Channel."

"I am Yang Jian."

"I am Li Tao."

"Welcome everyone to continue watching the 2012 London Olympics. Two hours have passed in a flash, and the next period of time will probably be extremely tense." After the advertisement, Yang Jian's appearance reappeared on the TV.

"There will be several highlights later."

"Men's and women's short span."

"Men's and women's 100 meters."

"I believe that anyone who watches the sports games will pay special attention to these events."

The 100-meter race is one of the most exciting events in every sports meet, no matter how big or small. Even if it is your school sports meet, it will attract the most spectators.

Liu Xiang's leadership in the short span has made this event a highly-watched track and field event in China in recent years, and it may even have surpassed the 100 meters during this period.

Knowing this background, you will think that what Yang Jian said is very normal.

"It's a pity that our country has no athletes participating in the women's short hurdles. I hope that in the next Olympics, there will be Chinese women athletes participating in the finals." After saying that, Yang Jian turned the topic to the men's short hurdles, which is the 110-meter hurdles we are all familiar with.

"I believe that one of the must-see events at this Olympics is the men's 110-meter hurdles."

"That's for sure." Li Tao also nodded. Including him, if you have to choose a few must-see Olympic finals, then this one is definitely a must-see.

"Two Chinese athletes have entered the finals. One is the young athlete Xie Wenjun, who is Liu Xiang's junior. The other one, I don't need to say much, he is my country's first Olympic gold medalist in men's track and field events, Liu Xiang." As Yang Jian spoke, the director began to broadcast Liu Xiang's Olympic journey over the years on the TV screen.

"Xie Wenjun has already completed his mission by entering the finals. I think he just needs to enjoy the competition. We don't need to ask more of young people. Maybe letting them go into battle lightly and without any mental burden can achieve better results." At this point, Yang Jian even used Zhang Peimeng's miraculous breakthrough in the third group of the 3m semi-final to enter the finals as an example: "Zhang Peimeng is a good example. Maybe when we least expect it, young athletes will give me extra surprises."

After sharing some of the pressure from Xie Wenjun, it was finally the turn of the protagonist of this game, Liu Xiang.

"Liu Xiang has now entered the finals. I wonder what you, Coach Li, expect of Liu Xiang."

Li Tao took over Yang Jian's topic and said, "I can't say anything else. The main thing is that Merritt is in such good shape this year. Let's try to win a medal, preferably a silver medal."

“I think it would be nice to end the Olympics with a medal.”

"That's right." Yang Jian also said: "In fact, it is not only the gold medal that can prove the value of an athlete. After Liu Xiang suffered a serious injury in 08, he was able to recover and stand in the Olympic final again. This is actually a victory."

"He has beaten himself as an athlete."

"He is already a veteran at the scene. At the age of nearly 30, he can still maintain such a state, which is unique in our domestic track and field straight track events."

"Not only in my country, but also in the history of Asian straight track, it is unique for a player of this age to be so competitive, and even to stand in the Olympic finals with the odds of being in the top three." Li Tao added: "Now I only have one worry. I hope Liu Xiang's physical condition is fine. As long as his physical condition is fine, I think it is still possible for him to compete for a medal."

As they spoke, the athletes came on the field.

"Okay, the athletes are going to play." Yang Jian suddenly became more energetic and raised his voice, saying, "The players who entered the finals this time are Liu Xiang, Roberts, Merritt, Brathwaite, Richardson, Ortega, Xie Wenjun, and Padjiment."

"Among them, our young player Xie Wenjun won the last small Q as the 8th place, successfully defeated the famous player Lawrence Clark in the first group, and successfully entered the finals."

The athletes began to warm up.

Liu Xiang still appeared at the scene in the standard red and yellow uniform, and he still had the number plate 1356 on his body.

Looking at these rows of hurdles, Liu Xiang didn't know why he always felt particularly nostalgic...

It was like meeting old friends for the last time.

But this idea did not last long. During the warm-up, everyone was attracted by Merritt's wonderful performance.

This is also what Merritt's head coach asked him to do before he went on the court, to do some exciting warm-ups to let everyone at the scene know that they were all here to compete for second place in this game.

Suppress your opponent with your aura.

Merritt listened.

From the current point of view, the effect is quite good. These are all experienced athletes, and they have some estimation of the opponent's state. Even the two moves of Merritt just in warm-up showed his vigorous state.

Hard to resist.

Even the American player, who was a teammate of Merritt and played against Richardson in this year's US Championships, expressed his sincere admiration for his teammate, and even some fear.

Nothing else.

It's just too strong.

This is a strong state visible to the naked eye.

It was like a volcano was about to erupt inside him.

Human power to stop it.

99.999% of it is broken into pieces.

At this time, Merritt also saw Liu Xiang who was warming up. Both of them stopped after crossing the fourth hurdle.

Across the fence.

You can see the look in both of their eyes.

Merritt is very competitive, and even in this state, he thinks it is meaningless for anyone to compete with him.

Even if this person is his former idol Liu Xiang.

Not at all.

The feeling of his body told him.

I can easily run a time of less than 12 seconds in this race, and it is even possible that I can set a world record in this race.

This is what his coach told him, if he wants to become a legend in one battle, he needs to do something that no one before him has done.

Merritt's peak period came relatively late. He is already 27 years old. It is very likely that this will be his last Olympics. So his coach suggested that he should show his best in this Olympics.

What if he didn't have such a long peak career as Liu Xiang? It's easy to deal with, as long as you make a big splash in the Olympics and win enough things in one go.

Olympic champions, Olympic records, world records.

Take all three at the same time.

That is definitely a classic among classics.

Can beat any player in any game.

From now on, whenever someone talks about short span.

Then it's impossible to jump over yourself.

Liu Xiang looked at Merritt with an aggressive gaze, his eyes were extremely deep, not so aggressive, but when you looked at them it was like an abyss.

As if to devour any outsiders.

If it was just before Su Shen’s conversation.

Faced with such a gaze, Liu Xiang might choose to avoid it, but now that Su Shen has told him how to win and how to find opportunities.

Liu Xiang regained his confidence.

After all, what he had done before was unprecedented.

  Who thought he could win the 04 Athens Olympics?

That was the time to make history.

It wasn’t simpler than it is now.

So, Merritt?

Could what Xiao Tian said be the strongest force in the history of short-distance cross-country racing?

Then let me take a look.

You are the strongest person in history.

How hard is it?

They withdrew their gazes, and it was as if the two people had confronted each other countless times. After that, they no longer looked at each other.

Don't stop until the game is decided.

Roberts actually wanted to join the duel between these two people.

But it's a pity.

When these two people walked past him, they had no intention of staying any longer.

Can be imagined.

That's what it means.

In this game, these two guys didn't take Roberts seriously. Their biggest rivals are each other.

Roberts was depressed.

I clearly beat Liu Xiang in the semi-finals.

Even if I'm not in good condition, he shouldn't be able to see it.

but……

He could only be depressed.

Because he knows the facts clearly.

It's not at all like what Cuban field shoes advertise.

Your own physical condition.

Not just bad.

And it's terrible.

After the semifinals.

He also experienced adverse physical reactions, but the approach taken by Cuban Field Shoes was completely different from that taken by the Flower Growers.

I just half encouraged him and half gave him an order - he must win the gold medal.

Then there is no more.

Even the doctor just took a casual look.

It’s no wonder that Roberts often complained later that Cuban Field Shoes had no respect for him at all, given the level of carelessness.

This actually extends to a deeper problem:

Liu Xiang and Merritt both have big countries behind them.

The foundation and confidence of a big country are fundamentally different from those of a small country.

So it’s okay when you are extremely powerful.

Once the strength declines.

Then all kinds of faces will be exposed.

All kinds of things that cannot be contained will emerge.

Even if we want to do something for you, it will be difficult for you to do so due to limitations in economic conditions, medical conditions, etc.

Roberts looked at it and wanted to say something, but when he thought of his current state, he closed his mouth again.

At this time, Liu Xiang was actually always feeling his physical condition.

He ran a few more test runs here than usual.

Although there is no speed increase.

But in fact, it is just about feeling the effect of closure.

In fact, because of Su Shen’s suggestion, I had never played it before in training, so I did it by chance and the effect was quite good.

At least the body's reaction has been weakened a lot.

Liu Xiang moved his ankle.

Although I know this is the effect of the drug.

But I can feel no discomfort, pain, or tingling for the first time in a long time...

That's great.

That's all he asks for now.

While adjusting the starting blocks, Liu Xiang even lowered his head slightly and said something to his ankle.

The camera caught it.

But the sound was not captured.

This leaves many people with a reverie.

But the main thing is the competition.

If the game is won.

Every move of the athlete before the game is worth digging into, they are all legends and stories.

But if you lose.

It is very likely that the situation will turn out to be different.

Near the starting line, Feng Shuyong and others also came out and stood by to watch.

At this time, compare the enthusiasm of track and field fans.

In fact, they are more worried, entangled and tormented in their hearts.

The team doctor had already made it clear to them that Liu Xiang was in a worse condition than they had imagined.

Now it all depends on how effective this injection is.

If we can win this game.

Then the effect of this attack is worth a fortune.

But Merritt's condition and Liu Xiang's uncertainty made the three of them look anxious even though they wanted to remain strong and calm.

This thing.

Can't hold it down.

This is the Olympics.

The ultimate test for athletes.

Liu Xiang is the protagonist again this time.

It is difficult for you to suppress the fluctuating emotions in your heart.

Just as the game was about to start, Zhang Peimeng saw Su Shen suddenly walk to the other side of the passage. He asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to watch the game?"

Su Shen turned his head and smiled: "Look."

“I’ll go and see it live.”

It was at this time that Zhang Peimeng realized that the direction Su Shen went was exactly the end point of the straight track project.

Su Shen has already made all the necessary preparations.

A few minutes won't make a difference.

This is no longer 08.

He prepared for nearly 10 years.

It's of no use at all, just a last-minute cram.

He is very satisfied with his current physical and mental state.

"This guy……"

"You have a really good mental quality."

Zhang Peimeng looked at Su Shen's back and complained.

"Don't compete with this guy." Zhao Haohuan seemed to have heard what Zhang Peimeng said, and said, "You won't be able to bear it if you compete too much."

“We just do what we are supposed to do.”

"Don't torture yourself."

That being said, it is still impossible for them to achieve the same as Su Shen now.

There is no way to eliminate the tension.

……

China Sports Channel.

"Okay, the game is about to begin."

"The judges have returned the athletes to their lanes."

At this time, the camera also began to shoot the athletes one by one.

"The first flower grower is Liu Xiang's junior brother, Xie Wenjun, who entered the finals in his first Olympic Games this year!" Yang Jian said with a smile: "Xie Wenjun finished third in the group in the semi-finals and advanced to the finals with a time of 1 seconds."

"Although this young man's talent is not as good as Liu Xiang's, he is still worthy of being called a young talent." Li Tao looked at Xie Wenjun and said, "I think he should be able to get close to 13 seconds in the future. If the wind speed is a little stronger, it is not impossible to break 13 seconds once."

"There will be no problem in taking over from Liu Xiang in Asia."

Xie Wenjun felt the atmosphere of the 8 people at the scene and just wanted to say that although he had participated in OW competitions before, the atmosphere of the Olympics...

I can only say it's awesome.

Better than the World Championships.

And much better.

It was a pity that he had already tried his best in the semi-finals, and he didn't know how much he could recover in two hours. But he was already satisfied to be in the top eight, and he was the kind of person who really wanted to enjoy the Olympic finals after the gun went off.

Sun Haiping and the others did not set any goals for him.

Of course, this could also be the former. Now all the energy is focused on Liu Xiang, and there is no spare energy to spare.

"The second one." Following Yang Jian's voice, the camera turned to the second one: "He is a post-90s contestant from Jamaica, Hansler Padgement."

"It is said that Jamaica thinks highly of him and even thinks he is the most talented short-legger in Jamaican history."

"The young man smiled shyly. I hope he can perform well."

Neither Yang Jian nor Li Tao could have imagined that this Jamaican young man with a slightly shy smile would become the ultimate winner of the OW competition in the future.

"The third one."

The camera moves to the third channel.

"Those of you who often watch short jumps must have already known who this person is. He is the American athlete Jason Richardson, who also performed well in the Daegu World Championships."

"Richardson is also in great form, having set two 13-second times in the U.S. Championships this year. He is also a contender for the championship this year, or at least a medal."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, Li Tao also said: "He is a player with strong explosive power in the front. I just hope that Liu Xiang and the others will not be affected by him and affect their rhythm."

"In fact, as long as you hold up his front."

"Liu Xiang will be able to gain an advantage more easily later on."

Richardson never thought about winning a gold medal when he came here this year.

Merritt's performance had already impressed him.

He came here just to win a medal.

To win an Olympic medal.

That's enough.

Olympic gold medals.

It was beyond his ability.

"The fourth one."

Yang Jian looked at the person the camera was directed to, and spoke in a slightly indifferent tone, "The champion of the 110-meter hurdles at the Beijing Olympics, who almost won the gold medal at the Daegu World Championships last year... Dailong Roberts."

All Chinese people can feel the sarcasm in this remark. It seems that many people are still a little upset about the Roberts-hand-holding incident last year.

"If Roberts is still in the same state as before the Beijing Olympics, I will still consider him a strong contender for the gold medal." Li Tao looked at Roberts and said seriously, "But now, because he has participated in too few competitions this year and has not had many opportunities to fight with masters, I don't think he can adjust to the best state."

"I don't even think that what Cuban Tianxie said is true, because if it were true, how could they ask athletes not to practice in international competitions before major competitions?"

"That doesn't make sense."

"So even though he defeated Liu Xiang in the semi-finals and came in first, we could see that Liu Xiang had let go a little at the end. I feel that the lightness of Roberts' hurdles this year is a world of difference compared to 08."

"So I don't think he can win the championship, nor do I think he can win a medal. Perhaps his best option this year is to win a medal and compete with the American player, Richardson, who is next to him."

If you observe carefully enough, you can see that when Roberts faces the camera at this moment, he indeed does not have the same momentum as in 08.

  What are you thinking about at this moment?

Only he himself knows.

"The fifth one."

When Yang Jian saw this figure, he raised his voice a little, as if to emphasize: "He may be the one in the best competitive state this year. He has broken 20s for 12.95 consecutive days. He is also the only player who broke 12.90s with legal results this year."

"In the semi-finals, he ranked first among all players with a score of 12. He should be the biggest obstacle for Liu Xiang in his bid for the championship in this Olympics."

Looking at Merritt, Li Tao also said: "Merritt should not be underestimated. He is a rising star this year. To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to this athlete before. I can only say that his rise has made Liu Xiang's road to the gold medal bumpy."

"If Liu Xiang wants to have the last laugh at the London Bowl this year."

“He is an opponent that cannot be avoided.”

"If you don't beat him, you won't have a chance to win the gold medal."

At this time, Sun Haiping was also staring at Merritt. Although it sounded a bit resentful to say this, he still felt that -

It would be nice if there was no Merritt's.

Then Liu Xiang would not have been under such great pressure before the competition, and even trained desperately before the Olympics.

Maybe Liu Xiang's career could have lasted a little longer.

Even persisted until the 2015 Imperial Capital World Championships.

pity.

All this is because of Merritt's appearance.

It came to nothing.

Of course, this does not mean that athletes from other countries cannot rise, this is just from Sun Haiping's perspective.

I feel a little depressed.

I can't relax my frown.

Merritt also raised his hands to accept the spotlight from the audience and media.

The aura on his face was completely different from the one Liu Xiang knew before.

Our ancestors said that living in a place changes your energy and nourishing your body.

There's really nothing wrong with it.

This is also reflected vividly in Merritt.

"The sixth one..."

  Yang Jian paused for a moment, adjusted his voice channel, and then spoke loudly into the microphone:

"World record holder, Olympic record holder, former Olympic champion, three-time World Championship winner, one of the contenders for the Olympic gold medal this time..."

"Liu Xiang————————————"

When he said this, there was no smile on Liu Xiang's face.

Face the camera.

There was only seriousness and solemnity on his face.

At this time, Li Tao remembered something, put his head close to his microphone, and said: "His expression is just like the expression at the 07 World Championships."

"I felt like he was going to pick up a knife and kill someone in the next second."

"In the eyes."

“Very murderous.”

This is a good description.

Compared with Merritt next to him, Liu Xiang's expression seemed more murderous.

Rather than being arrogant.

The two momentums were standing side by side and confronting each other in this game.

Only the Olympics.

Only then will you have the opportunity to see this kind of scene.

Only then can people's emotions be mobilized to this extent.

"Track 2009, Ryan Brathwaite. Unfortunately, this year is not . Judging from the state of his first two shots, he has no chance of winning a medal this year."

"The eighth lane is from Spain, Orlando Ortega. As a player born in the 90s, he just turned 21 this year. I personally think he has great potential, but it's a pity..."

"He has not grown up yet. There is no place for him in London this year."

……

Seeing the camera move away from the athletes' lanes, Yang Jian made his final statement for the competition:

"The finals are about to begin."

"Although some of the things we said are not appropriate, I still want to say one thing now - please lend all our good luck to Liu Xiang temporarily."

"Just like we did in 04."

"Let Liu Xiang ride the wind and waves."

“Break through the finish line once again.”

At this time, the electronic command also rang.

The whole place fell silent for a moment.

"on your marks."

"set."

A few seconds later.

Bang——————————

The game started.
