["Roberts Killer" joins Liu Xiang in Magic City to fight against the American Five in Magic City! 】

The 2012 IAAF Diamond League Shanghai Station is about to begin. Last night, the roster for the men's 110-meter hurdles event was temporarily changed. American player Craddock replaced South African player Lehane and will come to Shanghai to compete. In this way, Liu Xiang adds a strong opponent to his championship, and will face the five American tigers of Oliver, Merritt, Trammell, Richardson and Craddock at home.

World Cup champion Oliver is known for his explosiveness. Although Trammell is not in his prime, this player with the amazing ability to run 10 meters in 04 seconds may recover at any time. Richardson, the runner-up at last year's Daegu World Championships, has strong late-range ability, and "Robles Killer" Craddock has the characteristics of a giant killer... almost all of them are not ordinary people. With one against five, whether Liu Xiang can break out of the encirclement of the American Legion will be revealed at the Magic City Stadium this Saturday night.

[Sun Haiping: Liu Xiang has the best strength and speed in the near future and must control the rhythm. 】

Liu Xiang, his coach Sun Haiping, and others appeared in Shanghai at 3: pm yesterday. Liu Xiang's head coach Sun Haiping said that Liu Xiang's current strength and speed have returned to his own calling level. However, in order to prepare for the London Olympics, he must control the speed of his improvement, so he does not intend to let him reach his best condition in a short period of time. Playing at a high level too early requires more training, and the risk is greater.

In the first race of the new season, Liu Xiang's time was only 13 seconds lower than Merritt's 03 seconds. Sun Haiping said: "If you want to run hard, Liu Xiang's time will definitely be better than Merritt's, but there is no need now." .The best competitive state should be shown in the Olympic Games in August. If you run hard now, you may have to use greater intensity and greater load in training to maintain this performance, which will be even more dangerous."

Regarding the home game on May 5, Sun Haiping said: "The level of effort and excitement is a little higher than that of Sunday's game. It is not necessarily the number of runs. It is difficult to estimate now, but In terms of requirements, it’s a little higher than the first game, just a little more.”

Regarding the situation of Liu Xiang's current opponents, Sun Haiping also believes that the current WL holder Merritt may become one of Liu Xiang's most important opponents, but not as good as Robles and Oliver's old opponents. While keeping a close eye on several major opponents, Sun Haiping also admitted that a dark horse might suddenly pop up, but he said: "We still follow our own ideas and keep Liu Xiang's current status within the normal range. It’s within control. Don’t be too anxious.”

[Beijing time, the second leg of the 2012 IAAF Diamond League—Modu Station—kicked off at the Magic City Stadium on the 19th. The Diamond League official website also recently announced the competition schedule. The men’s 110-meter hurdles will be the finale event. 】

Diamond League Magic City Station has a total of 16 events, 9 for men and 7 for women. Judging from the announced schedule, the competition starts at 18:30, with the first event being the men’s shot put, and the men’s 20-meter flying contest taking place at 30:.

国内观众最为关心的男子110米栏在21:54进行，“中国飞人”刘祥第7次出战该赛事，他将与石冬鹏、谢文君携手对抗奥利弗、梅里特、理查德森、福尔克和克拉多克5位米国名将。

It will form a veritable "China-US war."

It is reported that the lineup of players in this competition is unprecedentedly strong, including two world record holders, 8 Olympic champions and 31 world championships. In addition to Liu Xiang, the Flower Planter track and field team is also led by sprint superstar Su Shen, Li Yanfeng, Li Famous generals such as Yan Xi and Zheng Xingjuan participated.

[The American Legion encircled and suppressed Liu Xiang without relying on tactics. Oliver said tactics were speed. 】

Different from previous competitions, for the first time, there are 110 American athletes among the 9 entries in the men's 5-meter hurdles competition. Although the former World Championship runner-up Trammell withdrew due to a crotch injury before the game, compatriot Falk who replaced him in the competition is also very good. In addition, the American Craddock who replaced South African player Lehane in the competition, the American The legion will launch an "encirclement and suppression" campaign against Liu Xiang. Such a huge group advantage makes American players full of confidence in winning the championship.

At yesterday's press conference, Oliver and Richardson always had smiles on their faces. When an AFP reporter asked them what tactics they would use to deal with this game, Oliver said with some disdain: "My tactics , is to use speed to leave the opponents behind." And Richardson grabbed the microphone and said: "Yes, our tactics are strength. This will not change because of any objective factors, such as rain." After the press conference, when a reporter from Shudi Metropolis Daily asked Oliver if he was confident of winning the championship, his answer was: "Of course!"

"Liu Xiang can't stop me either."

In contrast, Merritt, who ran the best time of 13 seconds so far this year, looked very cautious. Throughout the process, he had a serious face and kept writing something in his notebook with a pen. When a reporter asked him about his current status, he specifically mentioned his eight-to-seven technique, and he replied; "You can see that it was because of this technical change that I won the runner-up in the World Indoor Championships, and I won the runner-up in the 03-meter I have created my best result in the hurdles. I am very satisfied with this situation. I have no extra thoughts about the competition results. I have not turned on 110 seconds so far, nor have I turned on super wind speed. I have turned on 13 seconds many times in the face of these. As a master, I still focus on learning.”

……

Hilton Hotel in Shanghai.

It is the hotel sponsor of this competition, and everyone basically rests here.

The flower grower's side is a separate side, and the host's advantage is still obvious.

Liu Xiang was waiting for Su Shen and the others to arrive at this time.

Because Su Shen came back from Doha, he would be one day late.

The reason why Sun Haiping said this before, saying that Liu Xiang is in "very good condition" now, was because Ralph Mann reminded him.

Liu Xiang's momentum this year is really too strong, and his spirit is completely different from before.

This kind of competitive spirit is of course very good, but... going too far can easily lead to the state coming out too early.

If Liu Xiang is still in good health, there is nothing to say. If Liu Xiang is still in his early twenties, it doesn't matter. But now Liu Xiang is already twenty-eight and will be 2 in two months. He is no longer the young man he was in Athens.

In track and field, this is actually a relatively old age, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a veteran.

There are very few people in history who can maintain high-end standards at this age.

Therefore, veterans should have veteran preparation methods. Ralph Mann suggested that Liu Xiang should be in better shape now.

Don’t get momentum so early.

Sun Haiping originally thought that it must be a good thing that Liu Xiang has been in such good condition. This year will not be worse than before, and his results are definitely guaranteed. But when Ralph Mann said this, he immediately woke up.

Indeed, Liu Xiang is already old.

If you get out of shape too early, you will need greater training intensity and training density to maintain it.

This is too hard for a veteran.

The main thing is that Ralph Mann asked the question and said: "Don't forget, Sun, Liu is a person who has undergone major surgery on his ankle and Achilles tendon, and this disease will definitely relapse as long as high-intensity training is performed. Depends on when it is and what the intensity of the explosion is.”

"If you are in such good shape now, what will you do next? The intensity is too early, which is very detrimental to his body."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Sun Haiping thought that if another problem occurs this year, Liu Xiang will probably be "ruined." For the general public, the Olympics are the focus of attention. No matter how many World Championships you have won, it is not as meaningful as an Olympic championship. Therefore, we must ensure that Liu Xiang does not have any problems.

Maintaining a healthy body in London is the first priority.

So Sun Haiping, who had figured it out, took the initiative to say this in the media, just to let everyone know that Liu Xiang would "slow down" in the future.

It's normal to see some performance decline.

Don't make a fuss and look for things to make people angry.

For Liu Xiang himself, although he was not very willing, it was Sun Haiping who had been a master since he was a child, and Ralph Mann had also established a lot of prestige in his heart in recent years. Both of them said this, and he could only nod in agreement "reluctantly".

After all, compared to the Olympic champion, these honors are indeed within his historical status.

It's all leftovers.

No need to spend a lot of money on these "pots and pans".

But at this moment, there was a news on the TV, which made Liu Xiang stop listening to the song. When he took off his headphones, Sun Haiping and others had already heard the news.

"At the just-concluded Track and Field Grand Prix in Fayetteville, Arkansas, American athlete Aris Merritt opened the 13-second mark."

"Rated 12.99."

"Although he did not achieve a personal PB due to the super wind speed, he personally expressed excitement in the post-race interview that this was the first time he felt the speed within 13 seconds, and he was very excited. This made him know that this speed, You can actually do it yourself.”

The camera switched to Merritt's interview. Facing the camera, Merritt smiled widely and said: "I didn't expect this. I just ran hard, but it happened like this. After eight changes to seven were successful, I felt like It opened a new door, and the 13 seconds that were originally indestructible and out of reach began to become loose."

"And this made me feel that I can actually do it within 13 seconds."

"It's not like that's not my area."

"The feeling in my body tells me very clearly that in the following games, I will try to open it for 13 seconds, open it legally, and prove that I am also qualified to become a world-class player."

……

There was a slight silence in the room.

"I didn't expect that this guy actually broke 13 seconds. His condition this year is quite good."

"But it's still illegal. Without strong winds, it probably won't be possible."

"Yes, otherwise it would really scare me to death. I would have thought that there would be another strong opponent within 13 seconds."

Only Liu Xiang didn't say much. He just looked at Merritt on the TV without blinking for a long time.

It wasn't until Sun Haiping called him and asked him to take a rest that he stopped staring.

After Sun Haiping opened the door and went out, he turned around and looked at Liu Xiang's room behind him just as he was about to leave.

He knew why Liu Xiang was like this just now.

Because he remembers it clearly.

For the first time, Liu Xiang felt that he could really open 13 seconds. When he became a world-class master, it seemed...

It's the same look.

This look.

"It seems like this guy is going to become a top-notch player just as Xiao Tian said."

"Then there will be another strong rival this year."

But even now, they have not thought that it will not be "a strong enemy but not a strong enemy" by then.

But themselves.

Will be a challenger.

It’s no longer a look-down attitude.
