Men's 100m semifinals.
The semi-finals were divided into three groups, with the top two and the fastest two third places in each group advancing. Among the three players of the national team, Chen Jian played in the first group, and Shen Lu played in the second group, and Zhang Guan was placed in the third group.
This time Zhang Guan met the black player Habebe, who was in the same group as Zhang Guan. But Habebe was not the strongest opponent in this group, because Japan's Asahara Xuanzhi was also divided into this group.
Asahara Asahara is already a 31-year-old veteran, and he and Ito Koji were the golden generations of Japanese sprinters. Asahara Asahara also ran out of 10.02 seconds. For an athlete over the age of thirty, Xuanzhi Chaoyuan still maintains a fairly good competitive state, which is even more commendable. In the course of history, even in 2008, Xuanzhi Chaoyuan still kept the state of not losing to young people and even participated in the 2008 Olympic Games.
In addition to Xuanji Chaoyuan and Habebe, the other strong players in this group include Hananai of Jordan, Bao Shengsong of Singapore, Said of Maldives, and Omdufang of Laos. However, these people have only the level of the Olympic B standard. After being divided into this group, the semi-finals will become the end of their Asian Championships.
In the first two groups of competitions, Chen Jian played well in the first group and took first place in the group. The second place was Tujiang Kuanyu; the second place in the semi-final group was naturally unfinished. The second place was Saudi Mubarak, Shen Lu ranked third, but Shen Lu's score was higher than all the third place in the first group. According to the rules of the game, Shen Lu has obtained a final qualification.
Habebe knows that he can't match Zhang Guan and Yuan Xuanzhi if he wants to enter the final, he must be faster than the third in the first group. The strength of Zhang Guan and Yuan Xuanzhi is the top two in the third group.
In the reporter area on the sidelines, journalists in the Philippines generally aimed the camera at Zhang Guan and whispered to each other.
"That person is Zhang Guan." Ramos, a reporter from The Manila Times, pointed to Zhang Guan and said to his female counterparts: "It was he who bragged about breaking the Asian record yesterday!"
The female reporter pulled the camera closer, looked at it carefully, and then said, "He is so tall! Our basketball players in the Philippines are not as tall as he is."
Ramos pouted: "What's the use of being tall? It may be okay when facing ordinary athletes, but this time he is in the same group as the famous Japanese player Asahara Xuanji. This Zhang Guan will be abused, let him know that the sky is thick! "
Ramos said this deliberately loudly so that the reporters and colleagues around him heard it, and then everyone nodded their heads in agreement. In the eyes of the Filipinos, the Japanese are kinder than their American masters. Coupled with the previous derogatory mocking of Zhang Guan by various Philippine newspapers, all the Filipino journalists present at the moment are waiting to see Zhang Guan's jokes.
In the reporter's area, Yang Zhongyi, the team reporter who accompanied the national team's expedition this time, stood there with a pale face. Ramos' words made him feel uncomfortable. Yang Zhongyi was already at the age of blood, and he couldn't help refuting at this moment: "I think Zhang Guan may not lose to Xuanzhi Chaoyuan. Although the historical results of Xuanzhi Chaoyuan are better, Zhang Guan's recent condition is just right. His yesterday's rematch was a run as he entered the 10 seconds and 10 marks. "
"Is that true?" Ramos smiled slyly, then took out five Philippine Pesos 1000 and said, "Dare you to gamble with me, who is faster, Xuanzhi Zhaoyuan or Zhang Guan. I bet 5000 pesos, that Yuan Asahara is faster, if you don't have a peso, you can also use US dollars. If you don't dare!"
The surrounding Filipino reporters immediately started to coax, and Yang Zhongyi was also young and courageous. He was coaxed by the surroundings and immediately said: "Who dare not to!"
Yang Zhongyi drew 5,000 Philippine Pesos, but soon after he calmed down, he regretted it. In this era, the domestic currency has not begun to be appreciated. The 5,000 pesos is very close to the domestic price of 1,000 yuan. The domestic house prices have not started to grow. Even in the capital, the price of the fourth ring road is only 4,000 yuan per square meter. This kind of money to young people who have just entered the job market was a large sum.
"Zhang Guan, you must win! Otherwise, my 1,000 yuan will be lost!" Yang Zhongyi prayed in his heart.
...
In the arena, the athletes are being introduced on the radio.
The camera followed Zhang Guan's lens, and the broadcast also introduced Zhang Guan's name and nationality simultaneously. Zhang Guan waved his hands symbolically but heard boo from the crowd.
Zhang Guan looked around inexplicably, but he had never received such treatment before. He felt that the atmosphere in the stadium was a bit strange, and he could even say that he had a kind of hidden hostility.
"It seems that I suddenly became unpopular, and it feels like these Filipinos have great opinions about me." Zhang Guan took a deep breath and his expression became serious.
Zhang Guan knows that in this world, respect is won by himself. If you are strong, others will naturally respect you; if you are not strong enough, even if you flatter and laugh all day long, you will not get respect from others. Now, it is time to speak with strength.
Standing on the starting block, Zhang Guan took a very serious look at the endpoint in the distance and prepared for the start.
Perhaps it was the last game today, and even the referee wanted to get off work earlier, so there was not much time for the athletes to prepare. I saw the starter walked to the edge of the starting line with the starting gun and said
E: "On your marks .... set ..."
Habébe rushed out first, the instant the gunshot was fired.
"Habebe, it's a gun run!" Everyone watching from a distance immediately looked at the starting reaction time on the display. Habebe's starting reaction time was only 0.128 seconds. The start response time of most other athletes is around 0.15 seconds. This shows that Habebe's gun run was successful.
"Habebe is hard to fight, he will use the tactics of running with a pressure gun, but this is not surprising. Habebe in this group is not as strong as Zhang Guan or Yuan Xuanzhi. It's impossible to qualify, so I simply chose to run the gun to fight it." Yu Gui thought secretly. Then he looked at Zhang Guan's starting reaction time. The starting reaction time of 0.15 seconds was still so stable.
In the 100-meter race, the athletes are accelerating in the first 30 meters. At this stage, athletes can hardly make a big gap. The next forty meters is the key area for athletes to pull apart. During this distance, the leading group with the ability to fight for the first will leave other athletes behind, and the final thirty meters is the final sprint contest.
Habebe had a slight advantage in the starting phase, but his height was too short, so the advantage built up from the starting point was gone by the time the fifty meters were reached.
A tall figure appeared from the left side of Habeibei, and easily completed the surpassing of Habebe. Habebe's eyes had seen it, and Zhang Guan had already caught up.
The pace of the two people's pace was not too different, but Zhang Guan's legs, which are close to one meter nine, are longer, and the steps covered are also greater. Although Habebe tried his best, he could only helplessly watch Zhang the King surpasses himself.
Habebe also knows that he has tried his best to commit this non-war crime, but it is a pity that he is short of congenital. At the same time, he also thought that Yuan Xuanzhi should surpass him soon too.
He looked to the right, but then found that Yuan Xuanzhi was still half behind him.
"What's the matter? Zhang Guan has already passed me, and Yuan Xuanzhi is still behind me. Yuan Xuanzhi is slower?" At the next moment, Habeibei suddenly realized that Yuan Xuanzhi was slightly faster than himself. It is not that the speed of Asahi Xuanzhi was slow, but that Zhang Guan is faster!
But at this time, Asahara Xuanzhi watched Zhang Guan has taken the lead and was shocked. According to the assessment of Japanese coach Kobayashi Keiwa, Zhang Guan is probably the same level as Zhaoyuan Xuanzhi. Zhaoyuan Xuanzhi himself thinks so, but at the moment Xuanji Zhaoyuan knew that both Kobayashi and he and the coach were completely wrong.
"I was wrong, the coach was wrong, we were all wrong! I originally thought Zhang Guan's strength is at the same level, but now it seems that his strength is stronger than me, and his true level may be able to reach the European and American black players level." Asahara Asahara thought secretly but also worried about whether Japan could win the championship in the final.
Although the Japanese sprinters are invincible in the Asian arena, in the international arena, there is no scum left by the black players in Europe and America. For the Japanese players, the 10-second mark requires time and good conditions to reach it. For the top players in the world, there is no reason to run into the 10-second mark. The 10-second mark is a question of "whether or not" for Asian players and a question of "want or not" for black American athletes.
...
Reporter area.
Yang Zhongyi's heart is about to mention his throat, and he has reported on sports events many times, but he has never been as nervous as he is today. After all, this victory and loss are related to his 1,000 yuan, that is, Zhang Guan has already taken the lead, and Yang Zhongyi can not eliminate the tension.
Looking at Ramos next to him, his expression was even more excited. Ramos, as a senior reporter was well-known in the Philippine newspaper, and had a high income in the Philippines, and he has a subsidy to go out for interviews, but 5,000 pesos is almost half of Ramos 's income for him. Naturally painful like cutting meat. And most Filipinos don't have any idea of saving. I don't want to eat today, but I don't have much savings. Ramos also paid 5,000 pesos today.
"Yuan Xuanzhi, come on!" Ramos shouted in his heart.
Perhaps it was Ramos's refueling that played a role. On the track, Habebe, who surpassed the original Xuanzhi, made Ramos immediately excited.
"Come on, surpass Zhang Guan again!" Ramos wiped his fist fiercely, only to find that Zhang Guan, the number one, had already rushed to the finish line.
"Zhang Guan won!" Ramos heard the cheers of Yang Zhongyi in his ears. Later, Ramos only felt slack in his hand, and the 5000 Philippine Pesos had been snatched by Yang Zhongyi.
"What are you doing?" Ramos growled.
Yang Zhongyi waved the 5000 Philippine Pesos proudly and said, "Mr. Ramos, Zhang Guan won against Yuan Xuanzhi. Your 5000 Pesos is mine. You wanted to gamble and lose, so many peers were watching, and you don't want to admit it!"
Yang Zhongyi pointed to the electronic timer at the endpoint, and the number "10:00" above was particularly dazzling.
