Chapter 127 1500m semi-final ([-])

On the second day of the opening ceremony, Zheng Fan ushered in his first fierce battle - men's 1500m short track speed skating.

Zheng Fan played in the sixth group in the preliminaries. In this group, he is more familiar with Kneigert of the Dutch team, and he is an old opponent in the World Championships.

Kneigert nodded when he saw Zheng Fan. He was very impressed with this young man from Huaguo, because Zheng Fan's tactics were very unique, like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking tightly to the leader's back , Only at the critical moment will the full potential be exploded.

The game started after a shot from the referee. Zheng Fan didn't start too hard, so he was only stuck in the third position, skating closely behind the Dutch team, and continued to take out his set of meticulous tricks. tactics.

As long as he can get the top three in the preliminaries, he can advance, so Zheng Fan does not intend to consume too much energy in the preliminaries, because he will participate in the 1500-meter semi-finals an hour later.

But people are not as good as heaven. Zheng Fan had planned well, but he couldn't stand up to the moths of other athletes.

With five laps left, the Kazakhstan player behind him was the first to lose his composure. He exerted strength at the corner and entered the corner at high speed from the outer lane, surpassing Kneigert and Zheng Fan of the Dutch team.

However, Kneigert made a small mistake at the exit of the corner and slid out of the inner lane. Zheng Fan took the opportunity to kick the ice twice, and came to the back of the Kazakhstan player effortlessly, still clinging to the Glide behind it.

But Zheng Fan obviously overestimated the strength of this Kazakhstan player. He saw that this player kicked the ground twice at the corner. He didn't control it well, but collided with the American team on the next straight.

Zheng Fan, who is temporarily ranked third, did not see this detail because of his sight. He only saw the figure of the player in front of him flickering. When he looked up again, he found that the player from Kazakhstan had already made a 180-degree turn. , I don’t know when I have been face to face with myself.

As can be imagined, Zheng Fan gave the player a bear hug, and both of them fell to the ground. Under the influence of inertia, they slid directly to the sidelines and stopped when they hit the protective wall.

Fortunately, this time there was a person with a back pad. Zheng Fan did not get injured. He did not forget to pull up the Kazakhstan players when he got up, and then returned to the track. He fell behind the big team and continued to slide. A five-place finish completed the race.

Zheng Fan didn't panic at all, his fault was not his fault, and when he fell off the track, he was ranked third, so as long as the referee is not blind, he can advance.

The final result given by the referee also showed that Zheng Fan was directly sentenced.

When Zheng Fan left the field, he happened to meet the Kazakh player.

In the preliminaries just now, this player did not continue the competition, but chose to leave halfway, as if he had broken his leg bone, but after seeing Zheng Fan leaving the field, he reluctantly stepped forward and gave Zheng Fan a hug , can be regarded as thanks to Zheng Fan for pulling himself up kindly just now.

Of course Zheng Fan returned a warm hug.

But what Zheng Fan didn't know was that this scene was inadvertently photographed by a young reporter from Huaguo next to him.

The little reporter kept looking at the picture of the Kazakhstan player embracing Zheng Fan that he had just captured. He was very excited. What a good subject this is. Regardless of whether the Hua Guo team can win the 1500-meter championship in a while, today's report I have everything, and the topic is all thought out, so it is called "Good character, strong strength!"Zheng Fan, a short-track teenager from Huaguo, used love to influence his opponents, staged the No.1 scene of friendship, and promoted the virtues of Huaguo."

……

An hour later, Zheng Fan ushered in his second race of the day—the 1500-meter semi-final.

The schedule of the Olympic Games is much faster than that of the World Championships. In addition, Zheng Fan has already filled up the two attribute values ​​​​of energy and physical strength, and the preliminaries did not consume too much energy. Therefore, when he played again, Zheng Fan was already full of blood and full state.

In the semi-finals, Zheng Fan was placed in the third group.

But what was not very friendly to the Hua Guo team was that the three Hua Guo players were all placed in the third group, and there was also a famous mafia from the West Eighth Team——Huang Daxian.

Zheng Fan had to face the situation where he joined his teammates Dajing and Tianyu in the semifinals.

Li Yan also called the three together before the match, and began to arrange tactics: "The three of you entered the third group together. We have the advantage in numbers, so we must cooperate."

After looking at the three people in front of him, Li Yan continued: "The three of you are all very strong, and your tactics also have their own characteristics. Zheng Fan, you...you should use your own tactics as the guarantee for our team. In the third lap, we will play by ear; Dajing and Tianyu, you two should cooperate, it is best to take the lead skates alternately, and use cover and coordination tactics to see if you can win the top two."

Li Yan has a thorough understanding of Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan is suitable for this kind of tactic, because Zheng Fan's explosive ability in the later stage is really strong, and letting Zheng Fan slide alone is more advantageous than fighting with cooperation.

After the first two groups of contestants finished, Zheng Fan stepped onto the field again.

Both Zheng Fan and Tianyu were sentenced to the semi-finals, so they were ranked in the second row, and in front of them was Dajing, who was ranked in the sixth row.

The game started after the referee fired a shot, and the athletes fought fiercely as soon as they came up.

After the end of the first lap, Dajing and Tianyu suddenly accelerated, and both slid to the front, stuck in the position of the top two and started to lead the slide. Dajing was in the inner lane, and Tianyu was skating in the outer lane with half a body behind the right side. , the two formed a simple echelon queue.

The name of this tactic is "echelon formation gliding tactic", which can effectively block the overtaking route of the opponent behind, and the partner gliding on the back and outside can adjust the position with the partner according to the opponent's situation to maintain a strong position.

Zheng Fan, on the other hand, was still skating behind Lin Xiaojun, a player of the West Eighth Team, taking his time.

Lin Xiaojun, the No. 2019 short track speed skating champion in West Eight Countries, pulled off Huang Daxian's pants in 2021 because Huang Daxian molested the female players, commonly known as the cloth head. There is no room for him in the West Eight Kingdoms, and he joined the Huaguo nationality in [-] and became a short-track athlete of the Huaguo team.

It is said that Xiaolin's character is not bad, but Zheng Fan has never been in contact with it, so he can't jump to conclusions.

But there is one thing that Zheng Fan can be sure of, that is, Lin Xiaojun's strength is definitely the top in the world in the middle and long distance short track speed skating competition, especially in the men's 1500m short track speed skating competition in this Winter Olympics champion.

So Zheng Fan set up a strategy for himself before the start, skating closely behind Lin Xiaojun, as long as he enters the top two, he will be eligible to participate in the Group A finals.
