Chapter 129 The Desperate Final
Zheng Fan put on the skate protective cover and walked off the ice, just in time to see the slightly lonely figure of Dajing in front of him, and walked to the locker room alone.

Zheng Fan can understand Dajing's mood very well. Dajing should blame himself very much for not protecting the favorable form created by his teammates.

Zheng Fan had a lot of things he wanted to say to Da Jing, but there happened to be a camera next to him that was filming Da Jing, so Zheng Fan didn't go forward in the end.

It has been very difficult for Dajing these years, including the 2022 BJ Winter Olympics, where he made too much effort and sacrifice for the Huaguo short track team.

So seeing Dajing's lonely back, Zheng Fan felt a little distressed, and decided to go to Dajing to have a good chat after today's game.

……

There was just over an hour between the semi-finals and the final.

The final of Group B was held first. Tianyu saved his strength in the first half, and suddenly exerted strength in the last six laps. After a fierce competition with Xu Yila of the West Eighth Team, he finally prevailed and won Group B. No.1.

After the finals of Group B, the players of Group A began to warm up.

This is the third and last time Zheng Fan climbed onto the ice today.

Due to the fierce competition in the last few laps of the last race, Zheng Fan consumed a lot of energy and stamina, and he has only recovered about [-]% so far.

But Zheng Fan can't lose, this game is pinned on the expectations of Dajing and Tianyu, these two people are standing in the crowd of the Huaguo short track team, always paying attention to the game situation here.

Zheng Fan looked at his system interface, and the three skills currently equipped are:

Skating - speed skating acceleration, skating - rapid cornering, basics - recovery of physical strength.

Zheng Fan silently removed the "Basic - Restore Physical Strength" skill from the equipment bar, and replaced it with the "Skating - Overdrawing Physical Strength" skill that had not been used for a long time.

Because this skill has too many side effects, it will be paralyzed immediately when it is used up, so it has been hidden by Zheng Fanxue, and it will never be used until the critical time.

Because the "Special-Champion's Heart" skill obtained by unlocking advanced achievements can reduce the negative effects of other skills, at least it can ensure that Zheng Fan will not be directly paralyzed after using up the "overdrawing stamina" skill, but will go on stage with dignity to complete the leadership prize.

Therefore, Zheng Fan re-equipped this skill this time, intending to use it as a "killer weapon" in the last five laps.

At the same time, Zheng Fan added all 6 temporary attribute points to the two attributes of agility and reaction. This is a desperate plan.

A total of nine players participated in the 1500m Group A final.

Among them, Hungarian player Liu Shaolin, a player from Canada and the Netherlands were all sentenced to the final of Group A.

Because it is the home court of the West Eighth Team, when Zheng Fan played, except for the applause and cheers from the Huaguo audience, basically no one in the West Eight audience applauded Zheng Fan.

On the contrary, Kneigert, the Dutch team who met again, nodded to Zheng Fan and gave Zheng Fan a thumbs up, expressing his appreciation for the player Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan also smiled and waved back.

To Zheng Fan's surprise, Lin Xiaojun from the West Eighth Team also stepped forward to greet Zheng Fan and said something in Korean.

Zheng Fan didn't understand, but looking at Lin Xiaojun's expression, he shouldn't be swearing.

But Zheng Fan didn't nod or wave his hand in response to Lin Xiaojun, who knows if Xiao Linzi is the same as himself, with a smile on the surface and MMP in his mouth.

Just when Zheng Fan was distressed that he didn't understand Spanish, the electronic voice of the system in his mind suddenly sounded:
"Submission 10.3, to win the 1500-meter men's short track speed skating championship in the Winter Olympics. On top of the rewards you deserve, you will be rewarded with an additional 2 experience points and the skill 'Language-Korean'."

"Attention! Language skills can only be obtained through quests, they will only appear once, and cannot be drawn through random skills."

Zheng Fan still remembers that when he was in the [-]th Asian Winter Games last time, the system had a mission to reward "language-Japanese". Unfortunately, he failed that mission and failed to learn Japanese, and this did not happen again after that. Language skills, if you want to learn Japanese, you can only spend time on self-study later.

The extra rewards of the system are just a small tidbit. For Zheng Fan, regardless of whether there are rewards or not, he must do his best to complete the last game.

Zheng Fan was lucky this time, on the first track, it was the most favorable track to start off.

"boom!"

The referee sounded the starting gun for the start of the game, and the nine athletes started instantly and rushed towards the first corner.

Zheng Fan stood out from the crowd, occupied the first corner successfully and started to lead the slide.

No one expected that Zheng Fan would lead the skate until the end of the competition.

This is Zheng Fan's strategy for the final battle today.

Zheng Fan's speed in the first half was faster than usual, directly bringing up the speed of all the athletes behind him.

The next eight contestants were a little confused, the lead skater didn't play his cards according to the routine.

In their minds, it was like ten thousand mud horses galloping past. Even the audience on the scene and in front of the TV could see that something was wrong. Everyone had question marks on their foreheads:

Is this guy named Zheng Fan from the Hua Guo team out of his mind?Have you never led a skateboard?Is this speed gliding 1000 meters?Did you go to the wrong set?I skated so fast in the early stage, do I need to take a walk in the later stage?

Even Li Yan on the sidelines couldn't stand it any longer, and quickly waved to Zheng Fan, signaling Zheng Fan to slow down.

But Zheng Fan turned a blind eye and continued to slide forward quickly in his own way.

Although the other eight athletes were skeptical, in order not to fall too far, they tried to increase their speed and glide along with Zheng Fan's footsteps.

Zheng Fan is the lead skater, and bears most of the wind resistance. The faster the speed, the greater the wind resistance. On the contrary, the eight skaters behind are relatively skating and need less effort.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

An astonishing scene happened. Eight and a half laps of the competition have been completed, but the order of the nine players has never been changed. No one chooses to overtake the outside lane in this high-speed skating, and no one wants to waste a little energy .

Everyone knew in their hearts that a lot of physical exertion in the early stage made it impossible for everyone to start exerting their strength with six or seven laps left as usual, and the competition for the championship would depend on the last three laps.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the last three laps, when Zheng Fan exhausted his energy and his speed dropped, it was the clarion call for the next eight players to show off their magical powers.

But just when everyone was thinking about it, unexpectedly, Zheng Fan sped up again.

Zheng Fan's speed increase was very sudden this time, and his speed soared to more than 50 kilometers per hour, and he rushed out all at once, widening the distance from the eight athletes behind.

Because Zheng Fan had activated the two skills of "overdrawing stamina" and "speed skating acceleration" when he entered the penultimate lap, he no longer retained any strength and began to rush forward at full speed.

Zheng Fan's new round of sprints ignited the flames of the final ahead of time, and the other eight athletes began to grit their teeth and try to catch up with Zheng Fan or the players in front of them.

But at this time, it was too late to chase Zheng Fan again. Not only was the time too late, but also the lack of physical strength to follow up, unable to support the players for another long-distance burst.

Everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering, and they didn't want to be left behind too much by Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan also gritted his teeth and persisted, because his thigh muscles had begun to spasm uncontrollably.
