Chapter 143 Illegal?

The depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire player's rest area until a staff member of the event organizing committee walked in. "The women's 100-meter preliminaries are ready, and the athletes in the first group are entering the field!" The staff's notice broke the dull situation, and Li Tian and the other two also retracted their attention almost at the same time.

"Why are you doing here to be idle? The next one is the 200-meter preliminaries. Don't you need to prepare?" Turning around, Li Tian saw Tian Chong staring at him not far behind him with his eyes straight at him, and couldn't help but step forward and pat him.

"Ah! Boss, what did you say just now?" Obviously, Tian Chong had just come to his senses at this time.

"Preparation before the 200m preliminaries! Keep going here, I'll go out first." Although Li Tian fought very well in the 100m preliminaries just now, for his cruelly tested physical fitness, the consumption of this physical strength is not enough to affect his next 200m preliminaries. Usually, the 100m sprint training with a height of more than 30 groups per day is not in vain.

"Danny? Isn't this all the monsters that are you. Each of them has a terrifying expression and their eyes are even more terrifying." Tian Chong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although they are about the same age, these three people are incomparable to other people present. They are destined to become pitiful supporting roles in this game. "Hey, wait for me!" Seeing Li Tian walk towards the warm-up training ground, he hurriedly followed him out.

Compared with the excellent performance of the Chinese male players in the men's 100m preliminaries just now, the three players sent by the Chinese youth team to participate in the women's 100m preliminaries were not so lucky. Only Huang Qiumei tried her best in the group to win the second place with an extremely weak advantage, and was able to advance to the rematch, while the other two were only ranked fifth in the group and were both eliminated. This unexpected episode reminded those who began to be blindly optimistic after seeing Li Tian appear that the level of Chinese track and field needs to be improved in a comprehensive way, and there is still a more difficult road to go.

There are relatively few contestants in the women's 100m preliminaries, with only 10 groups of competitions in total, so there is not much warm-up time for Li Tian and others to participate in the 200m preliminaries. About twenty minutes later, the original team, almost the same as the 100m preliminaries, conducted a preliminary check-up before the 200m preliminaries, because most players participating in the 100m event will also register 200m, and only a very small number of people use 200m as their special event.

"Fortunately, it's okay! I'm not in the same group as any of you three monsters!" After getting his own group, Tian Chong breathed a sigh of relief. Some of the people who came out of the inspection and recording department had already started to shake their heads with frown. They just met Li Tian, ​​Wright and Bolt, in the 100-meter field, which surpassed the level of young players. If they were divided into the same group with them in the 200 preliminaries that would start for a while, it would be equivalent to the only two places in the group that entered the next round of the rematch. The seven other players could only compete for the remaining second place, and the chance of advancing was reduced by 50%. How could this not make those "unlucky" players complain?

Li Tian got the first lane position in the last group, and the arrangement of the lane was not ideal. Because the start of the 200-meter race is different from that of the 100-meter event, the eight contestants did not stand on the same starting line. The athletes started on the curve in a step-like manner, and the track faced by the athletes in the first lane has the largest arc, which will test the athletes' curve skills.

"The men's 200m preliminaries are about to begin, and the contestants are ready for the competition!" As soon as the live broadcast rang, all the audience was full of energy, and Li Tian will play again.

On the court, Wright and Bolt, as Li Tian's biggest opponent, also became the focus of the audience. In particular, Bolt, the creator of the second best result in the world of the project last year, was unanimously recognized by all Chinese audiences as Li Tian's biggest obstacle to achieving the goal of the Grand Slam in this World Youth Championship. And he did not disappoint everyone's "expectations" for him. He was the first among the three who played, and he ran a good result of 19.98 seconds.

Of course, the arrogant Wright will not show weakness to his opponent. The 20-second score is enough to make Bolt admit that he is the same level as him. Both "big enemies" have achieved excellent results, and people can't help but start looking forward to how Li Tian will perform in the final appearance. After all, 19-98 seconds is already a very impressive result.

On both sides of the door leading to the arena at the players' rest area, Wright and Bolt were looking at Li Tian who was slowly walking out with provocative eyes. With a slight smile, Li Tian passed through the door between the two, and at the same time, he had his own plans in his heart.

"Li Tian is out!" A sound came from the stand closest to the contestants' rest area, as if it was a signal of grand celebration. The whole stand immediately seemed to be in a sea of ​​fanaticism. After Li Tian greeted the audience in the stand with a relaxed look on his face, he quietly walked to the starting position of the first path.

"Teacher, what do you think Li Tian will perform this time? 200 meters is Bolt's special project. Last year's second place in the world was not a fictional reputation. It is not easy to surpass him." Johnson, as a former world champion of this project, also raised a strong interest in this young man contest.

"It is difficult for me to make a judgment on what kind of performance Li Tian will perform. Before the start of the game, we did not practice 200 meters in Germany during the special training period for more than three months. According to our understanding, Li Tian only participated in the 200 meters competition in a domestic selection competition last year, and ran a personal best score of 20 seconds 00. As for whether he has grown up and how far he has grown, I am afraid that only he himself will know. But what I can be sure of is that Li Tian is a player who always makes people look forward to him. This is his charm. There are countless possibilities in him and he also has his own understanding of the competition. He is a little guy who can use his brain to compete." Among all the players he has coached, Li Tian is the first student who can make coach Hart, the "gold medal coach" who is known as "fire-eyed" and cannot see through it.

Li Tian adjusted the position of the running booster, relaxed the muscles in his body, and stood at the starting point quietly waiting for the referee's command to ring. Since he had decided to do this, he no longer had any burden.

"Eachers are in their place..."

"preparation……!"

"Bang!" The familiar gunfire sounded, and Li Tian took the lead and rushed out of the starting point. His excellent reaction nerve made him only take 0.112 seconds to start. Due to the lack of 200 meters special training, curve technology has become the weakest link among Li Tian's various techniques, and this is an extremely important decisive factor in the 200 meters event.

Slow down! When passing through this huge arc, the center of gravity of the body would shift slightly. Li Tian deliberately adjusted the frequency of his legs and quietly lowered his speed when he turned around. When he rushed out of the corner and entered the last 100-meter straight, he was only a small distance ahead of the second player. But even after entering his 100-meter straight path, Li Tian had no intention of throwing the player behind him away. He maintained an advantage of about one meter from the second player and easily rushed through the finish line.

"20 seconds 67!" After Li Tian's results appeared on the electronic screen, the shocking cheers that sounded before the entire arena disappeared in an instant, with only quietness. The huge 30,000 people actually calmed down in an instant.

"...Ah! Why is this happening? It must be that the timer has broken down!" Finally, a viewer came to his senses and pointed at the screen of the electronic timer with an incredible look on his face and shouted loudly.

"Is it because Xiaotian performed poorly? He was in good condition just now than when he was 100 meters!"

"It must be a problem with the timer, otherwise how could the results be so different?" The screams woke up more and more audiences, and their faces were full of disbelief and doubt.

The most surprising thing on the scene was Wright and Bolt. The 20-second 67-second difference was nearly 0.7 seconds from what they had just run. The 0.7-second gap in the sprint can be regarded as a natural disaster. Whether it is the poor condition or the special preservation of strength, or the disdain to respond to their challenges, the two of them were also full of questions.

"Li Tian is indeed a special boy. He is indeed very good at using his brain, but I admire his concentration even more." What he could laugh in the stands were coach Hart and master and apprentice Johnson.

"Yes, the initiative on the field has been firmly in Li Tian's hands from beginning to end. The 100-meter preliminaries stimulated Wright and Bolt, which led to the two of them explode together. On the contrary, when the two provoked him, he easily gave in. As a result, Wright and Bolt have been passively influenced by him and acted passively. However, how many people can restrain themselves when the young man challenged his opponents? At least in terms of psychology, Wright and Bolt are more than one step away from Li Tian." As coach Hart analyzed, Li Tian has his own plans. He does not have much advantage in strength compared to his opponents in the 200-meter preliminaries. If he is equal, he has to rely on strategy to win. After the 100-meter preliminaries, he has to rely on strategy to win.

His unintentional excitement during the game made these two powerful opponents use all their strength to challenge him, but they seemed to forget that this was just a preliminary, and only the person who won the final was the final champion. Faced with the provocation of the two, Li Tian tried hard to suppress his inner impulse and deliberately did not respond to their challenges. In this way, on the one hand, it can disrupt the opponent's psychological deployment and make the opponent have various suspicions and speculations. On the other hand, it does not reveal his final strength to put more pressure on their psychology. At the end of a high-level competition, it is not only about strength and skills, but also about psychology. Sometimes taking a step back is to make two steps forward, and the key is the player's grasp of his own mentality.
