Chapter 666 I Believe! ! !
Day five of the Osaka World Championships.

At this time, it began to enter the climax of the hurdles.

It is also the game that the people of the whole country care about most.

Many people, even those who don't usually watch games, know that there is Liu Xiang's game today.

This is nationality and national influence.

In this regard, if you have not won an Olympic medal or even a gold medal, it is difficult for you to compare with Liu Xiang.

Comparing the requirements of the whole country to win the gold, Liu Xiang himself made his voice for the first time after coming to Osaka——

"To be honest, when I come to the World Championships in Osaka, my goal is to finish in the top three. No matter what color the medal is, I can accept it."

In fact, Liu Xiang and Su Shen discussed this matter, and suggested to lower everyone's expectations at the beginning, otherwise, it is easy to go wrong.

Especially now everyone believes that Liu Xiang must win the championship. This is the most important gold medal. Once he wins it, he can break the embarrassing situation that our flower planters track and field team has not won a gold medal in the World Championships since entering the 21st century.

You have to know that the last gold medal was won at the 1999 World Championships in Seville, Spain.

In the following eight years, the Flower Planters track and field team has only won two bronze medals and one silver medal in the three World Championships, of which Liu Xiang contributed one silver and one bronze.Yes, but before that, Liu Xiang had not won a gold medal in the World Championships.

Coupled with the upcoming Olympic Games next year, many people hope to achieve the breakthrough of zero gold medals in the 21st Century World Championships before the Olympic Games.

In particular, some media started to hype that Osaka is Liu Xiang's golden place. He came here four or five times before, and each time he won the gold medal.

Then this time is no exception.

This is really meaningless, because there is a huge gap between the OW competition and other competitions, and it is not the same.

But everyone is willing to hear such words, and naturally they are also willing to write.

But just because he was too fanatical, Su Shen still suggested that it would be better for Liu Xiang to take the initiative to cool down.

So there is this sentence--

"I personally feel that the current state is similar to that of the 00 Athens Olympics. However, the outside world's demands on me have increased. It seems that it is not normal for me not to enter the top three. In fact, the competition between the top three masters in the 110-meter hurdles The level is similar, and it is normal for anyone to lose or win. This time I come to Osaka, I will go all out and take the game seriously, and that is enough."

Liu Xiang also responded to the "Osaka blessed land" promoted by the media this time, saying:

"In the past, the level of the competitions in Osaka was not comparable to that of the World Championships. Moreover, in those competitions, the opponents were not very strong, and some masters did not pay much attention to them. This time, everyone will go all out for the World Championships in Osaka, and the difficulty will be much greater."

Yes, in this way, everyone basically has a bottom line.

Know it's not that easy.

Especially at the end, Liu Xiang said with a smile——

"This time we all came to Osaka together. We took care of each other, talked and laughed, and were very happy. It's not like going to Europe alone in the past. I feel very lonely."

He actually wanted to point out Su Shen, but think about it, he shouldn't give him extra attention and pressure.

These media themselves know that they are not fuel-efficient lamps.

But if you say this kind of words, if you understand people, you will naturally understand.

Especially in the aspect of breaking records, he kept silent at all. Such remarks are completely roasting the athletes on the fire.

Don't agree easily.

Of course, there are also completely opposite examples, such as Trammell who lost to Liu Xiang in 04.

He is a typical type of high-profile man, and he just opened his mouth——

"You guys look, I will definitely be able to break the world record created by Liu Xiang. I will continue to work hard for this!" (Original words)

Well, it's very Amerika.

It is rare for the sprint team to take a little time to catch their breath. After all, the track and field competition is very short and does not consume too much time.And it has been in a tense game atmosphere, too long, and the spirit will be exhausted. "Relaxation and relaxation" and "combination of work and rest" are also an important training philosophy of the "Su God System", otherwise it will become the previous "three obediences and one major".

Coming to watch Liu Xiang's game is obviously the easiest way to mobilize excitement and relieve mental fatigue.

In the end, this is indeed the most promising gold medal event of our track and field team.

Even if it was the preliminaries, the scene was crowded with people. It seemed that the enthusiasm of the Japanese for Liu Xiang was still very high.

"Wow, as expected of Brother Xiang, this momentum seems to have turned this place into his home field." Liang Jiahong came out and saw that the audience was shouting "Liu Xiang", he was really shocked, envious and admired.

This is Liu Xiang's influence on the whole world, especially in Asia.

The first gold medal in a short-distance event is really exciting.

In addition, the short-span event of the Japanese team is already stretching the hips, and the gap is too big. Naturally, there is no comparison. I just want to cheer as the same Asian.

Liu Xiang is in the second group of the group stage, the fourth runway. When the on-site commentator read his name, the audience responded enthusiastically.Liu Xiang himself raised his arms with a smile and greeted everyone with his signature wave.

"Brother Xiang is so domineering! I like it so much!" Liang Jiahong and the rest of the young team members were also moved, and their blood began to agitate.

Boom———————

To be honest, it was too easy for Liu Xiang to win this kind of game. Although someone snatched the first shot, Liu Xiang still rushed out with a super starting speed of 0.141.You have to know that in the preliminaries, many people can't reach the starting reaction of 0.150s, and the preliminaries can't consume too much attention.

Naturally, Liu Xiang is also the same, so this shot is actually his reaction speed after relaxing his reaction.

It is too strong.

It's so fast to relax.

It is indeed a super strongman with a 0.12x reaction all the year round.

The race went smoothly. Liu Xiang looked like a stag on the track, jumping over the hurdles with ease, and even... You will see that he is even smiling when you watch the playback on the big screen.

In the final sprint, Liu Xiang actually imitated Su Shen and the others, "looking back at the moon", then contracted his pace, reduced his arm swing, and won the first place in the group with a time of 13 seconds, easily reaching the semi-finals .

The headwind has no effect on him.

In an interview after the run, Liu Xiang made a special point, because he thought "Looking Back at the Moon" was very handsome and fun, so he also tried it.

Ok.

It does feel good.

Sure enough, this is the benefit of reopening.

If you use it first, the trademark will automatically start to focus on you.

There is no way, just like what Liu Xiang said, don't blame Brother Mo for his feelings, the main reason is that this action is too cool, but if you know it and have this ability, you can't help it.

When asked by a Japanese reporter about the performance of the Japanese players in the same group, Liu Xiang could only say in embarrassment——

13.92s, um, it's not bad, but it needs to be refueled, more refueling, um, that's it.

It is embarrassing to dig out a three-bedroom and one-living room.

After all, the score of 13.92s, how should I put it, Liu Xiang can't say that I can run out of this score at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Shi Dongpeng also played very well. In the end, at 13.22s, he qualified with the best result in the group stage.

In fact, if there is no Liu Xiang, he should have glorified Asia. Unfortunately, in the same era as Liu Xiang, his achievements seem a bit eclipsed by comparison.

But what is surprising is that another "college student" who came out this time also made it to the second round.

All three advanced, which made everyone happy.

But in the semi-finals, the situation was not so ideal. Liu Xiang was obviously affected by the subsidence of high fever and fatigue just a few days ago. In addition, he met Roberts in the semi-finals. Although Roberts is still a young player, he has already shown extremely Strong momentum.His characteristic is that he is very explosive and has a very high peak. Although the peak is very short, but the peak period is very strong. He used to break Liu Xiang's 12.88s, but this time, Liu Xiang has already reached 12.85s ahead of schedule. It is estimated that he and The world record, missed.

Boom——————

After the start of the game, the Dutch player Sedko in the 7th lane took the lead.

The game starts over.

After the second shot, Liu Xiang and the fourth Robles rushed out immediately.

Liu Xiang kept pressing his opponent half his head in the first 10 hurdles, but slowed down a little at the end.Let Roberts overtake the past.

At 13.25s, everyone felt a little regretful, but because Liu Xiang apparently let it go on purpose in the end, everyone still felt that the problem was not big.But for professional athletes, doing so is actually very likely to cause problems.

because……

Pass times, may be ranked in a very poor position.

For the outer rounds, if it is six or seven rounds, it's okay, but if it's the eighth round, that is, the first round is empty, and in fact the ninth round, then it will be in a very awkward position.

As long as you are a professional athlete, everyone knows that if you want to win this competition, it will be very challenging to put it bluntly, but to put it bluntly... the difficulty will suddenly increase a lot.

In fact, when it comes to history, many ordinary track and field fans may not understand it at all. In history, if you see it clearly, it is the history that has not won the championship on the sidewalk in the entire history.

In the history of track and field, it is not just hurdles.

Therefore, if assigned, it will give huge psychological pressure.

Just after everyone prayed all night, after seeing the competition groups the next day, everyone was silent for a few seconds.

Then some people even "breathed fragrance" depressedly.

Because Liu Xiang is indeed the one who is least willing to be faced by everyone, the most side way, that is, the eighth (ninth) way.

As soon as this position came out, many of Liu Xiang's opponents "jumped up".

After all, in the history of track and field, there has never been an OW competition that wants to win the sidewalk.

That's why many people don't understand what the separation of lanes back then meant.

Basically, after this round, many championship contenders thought "Liu Xiang is cold".

Never before in history, do you still want to do it?

Impossible.

Moreover, sprinting is different from middle-distance running, and the influence of sideways is greater.

Suddenly, the outside media, especially Reuters, the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, as well as the Japanese local media, all began to look down.After all, it is difficult for you to inspire confidence in something that has never happened before.

Liu Xiang's team also became nervous.

Although Liu Xiang himself said that he didn't care which one he was in, his style of painting completely changed when he reached the final.

The previous "low-key top three" remarks suddenly became——

"As long as I make it to the final, I can run no matter whether I am ranked first or eighth. I hope to taste the feeling of standing on the podium tomorrow."

"I still just take care of myself, no matter what others do, just compete with myself."

At this time, the situation has changed, and naturally we can no longer look down on ourselves. Just like in history, Liu Xiang immediately opened his mouth after seeing the split, and the direction of the entire discourse changed completely.

But at this time, there are too few people who dare to stand up and speak out. After all, they are all knowledgeable people and dare not speak nonsense.

The Ninth Road is really too bad.

But just like Liu Xiang himself used to say "loneliness", how could God Su not understand this word in the international arena?

He is also "lonely" in the international arena.

So at this time, Su Shen, as the World Championship men's 100-meter medalist, said in front of these foreign media when he was being interviewed——

"I believe that the gold medal will belong to Liu Xiang tomorrow."

"Why has no one on the sidewalk won a championship?"

Su Shen smiled calmly, and said to these authoritative Omi media who just wanted to see the flower growers stumble:
"Then take it tomorrow, won't you have it?"

"The ninth miracle, I believe it is red."

When Liu Xiang was preparing for the battle, he heard Su Shen actually say so openly, that he supported him so strongly, that he didn't practice any official or Tai Chi, and he really felt...

"My way is not alone."

This boy I met at the Chinese Games.

Definitely the most important friend of my life.

PS: Let’s add more today~~~~ Many people may not know the meaning and environment of the side road back then, it was really difficult.

It's just that we know the result now, and when we didn't know the result back then, we can imagine how much psychological pressure Liu Xiang had to bear.

I hope this linkage can remind everyone that the champion back then was really not easy.

Environmental stress, physical stress, is far greater than you imagine.
