"We can't do it like before, and we can also put out 90% of the strength in the semi-finals."

"That would inevitably affect the performance of the finals."

"This year, Liu Xiang's main opponent has been replaced by Merritt. Merritt is younger than Liu Xiang, so he will have more physical advantages and recovery advantages."

"So my suggestion is to keep a little bit in the semifinals, just like in Osaka in 2007."

"Fight harder in the final."

The two were discussing.

The grouping about the game has been played on the big screen-

Group 1: Gregory Sedoc, Constantinos Duvalidis, Jason Richardson, Orlando Ortega, Lawrence Clarke, Wayne Davis, Garfield Darien, Adrian DeHelter.

Group 2: Aris Merritt, Ryan Bratweet, Andrew Turner, Shevinjun, Dimitri Basku, Paul Cesar Veral, Konstantin Shabanov, Selim Nurudin.

Group 3: Dailong Robles, Hansler Pajiment, Lehan Fori, Liu Xiang, Maxim Linsha, Sergei Shubenkov, Jeff Porter, Emmanuele Abate.

"Through the live list, we can see that Chinese players appear in Group 2 and Group 3 respectively." Yang Jian looked at Li Tao and said, "I wonder what Coach Li thinks about this group?"

"I think the first group may have the worst overall strength." Because there are no Chinese athletes in the first group, Li Tao just clicked and focused on the next two groups.

"Merritt doesn't need to be seen, this is definitely not possible. Ryan Bratweet of Barbados is also a medalist in the World Championships, so this is hard to play." Li Tao looked at the information at hand and said, "I think Xiao Xie should mainly fight for a small Q quota. If you win the third place in this group, you will have a chance to advance to the finals."

"Although Turner is the host and PB is also very strong, this year's SB is not outstanding. I think Xiao Xie has the opportunity to compete with him. The second is Selim Nurudin of Nigeria and Dimitri Bascu of France."

"Colombia Paul Cesar Villar should not be underestimated, and she still has 13.20 abilities last year."

"The only ones who are slightly weaker are Konstantin Shabanov of Russia and Richard Phillips of Jamaica. The risky man is on the 110-meter hurdles, and the Jamaican is not as good as he is on the 100-meter runway."

"Overall,... Xiao Xie must do his best to break through." Li Tao said: "There are many people who are close to him, and there are also many people who are higher than his PB. Even if Merritt and World Championship medalist Bratwett are deducted, there are still four people here to fight."

"Especially this is Xiao Xie's first Olympic Games." Li Tao began to pour cold water on the audience, not wanting to let Xie Wenjun fall into a verbal criticism if he didn't run well.

"It's normal to behave poorly and unstable."

"A natural big heart like Liu Xiang is rare in the world."

After Xie Wenjun's turn was Liu Xiang, Li Tao said simply: "No need to mention Liu Xiang's status so far this season, no one in this group is his opponent. It depends on what Cuba Tiansha has always said about Robles, who is 100% healthy. Is it true or false?"

"If it is true, then this semi-final is still difficult, and it is not so easy to win the first place. After all, Liu Xiang is now 29 years old, and he has never experienced such an Olympic schedule that runs two shots in a row, so he will be more cautious in the semi-finals."

"But if Robles is not in his state like Cuba Tianshao said, then no one can threaten Liu Xiang with this shot."

"He has made consecutive results this year, including a shot that beats his world record with a super wind speed, and looks at the top of his history." Li Tao may have only one worry here...

It is rumored that Liu Xiang had another injury news before the game.

This scene is very similar to that in 2008.

This is what he is least willing to think about.

Perhaps it is also the most unwilling thing for track and field fans across the country to think about at this time.

"Although there was news that Liu Xiang seemed to have repeated injuries before the game, it should be no big problem to watch the preliminaries." Although Yang Jian said so easily now, in fact, during the preliminaries...

He was anxious in his heart than anyone else.

I was afraid that the incident in 2008 would happen again.

Who said the injuries that were rumored before the game feels so similar?

fine.

At the thrilling juncture.

Liu Xiang successfully completed the first shot.

This made Yang Jian and Li Tao feel a little relieved.

At least the first shot.

You can't see what's wrong with Liu Xiang.

Many people even think that this is a rumor after the first shot, and things in 2008 cannot be reproduced.

But only this group of people who really know the inside story.

Before Liu Xiang came on stage, his face was solemn to make the team staff nervously prepare.

"Please use insulation cream and keep activate it. Don't stop and don't let Axiang's body cool down, especially the calf and Achilles tendon!"

"Where is the warm and warm slurry prepared by Xiaotian? Go and get it quickly. You have to use it. One bottle is not enough to leave one bottle for later use!"

"The weather today, the semi-finals didn't look particularly good."

"But... don't have any problems."

"But you have to withstand it."

Sun Haibo was in the middle of the mess, and his eyes looked at Liu Xiang were filled with hidden worries.

Because after the preliminaries.

In fact, the team members and the medical team brought by Su Shen have already undergone examinations, and the Achilles tendon feels a little more rigid.

Especially the pain at the trigger point.

It's doubled compared to yesterday.

It's just Liu Xiang himself.

Keep holding on.

Don't want to complain about these.

Otherwise, how could it be...

Just a warm-up.

Liu Xiang is already...sweating.

This is not only a worry about the body, but also a torture caused by neuralgia.

But Liu Xiang has arrived here.

It is inevitable that it is impossible to give up.

Semi-finals.

Just finish the semi-finals shot.

You can close it yourself.

That way, these feelings will disappear.

At least fight for yourself for more than ten seconds.

It should be no problem.

So now.

You must pass the semi-finals.

This is Liu Xiang who is receiving massage from a physiotherapist...

The only thought in my mind.

...

Just thinking about it.

The first group of men's 110-meter hurdles is ready to start.

The athletes in the first group stood on their own way.

“set.”

Bang —————

There is no doubt that Richardson is ranked first.

This year's US Championship double-opening of 13 seconds has completed another evolution. Apart from his own teammate Merritt, he is not afraid of anyone. Even Liu Xiang, he wants to compete now.

"The competition begins."

"In the first bar, Richardson is indeed very powerful, and he quickly led all the players."

“In a clear lead in front!”

No one in Richardson's group could pose a threat to him. Whether it was Lawrence Clark or Orlando Ortega, they were all far from his ability.

Speaking of this group, the three groups are the weakest.

That's no problem.

After the past 5 barriers, there was actually no suspense in this game. After the sixth barrier was put, Yang Jian even said directly: "Look at who can win the second place in this group."

"It should be Ortega from Cuba."

At this time, Richardson had completely let go of the shot, and his strength was really outstanding in this group.
