Chapter 272 Singing loudly

After all, the two are about to become direct opponents on the field. After a brief greeting each other, Jeremy returned to the rest area where he was. Although he had absolute confidence in winning the championship, it is unique in the world field, a person like Li Tian who can approach the 44-second mark at a young age in the 400-meter event. If he still takes such an opponent lightly, it would be an insult to his IQ.

"Xiaotian, it's time for you to warm up!" Nearly an hour after the competition began, there were about twenty minutes left before the men's 400m competition. Liu Xiang reminded Li Tian, ​​who was leaning on the bench, closed his eyes and resting.

"Yeah!" After looking at the sports watch on his wrist, Li Tian nodded slightly, stood up and stretched his waist vigorously.

"I'm leaving, I wish me good luck!" Li Tian turned around and said to his two teammates.

"Come on!" Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng both raised the thumbs of his right hand at him.

Competitions like the Osaka Super Grand Prix generally do not have preliminaries and rematches. All contestants go directly to the finals and decide the outcome, because the players invited or screened represent the world's top strength, so the number of players is naturally not large. For example, there are only six other players in the 400-meter competition except Li Tian and Jeremy, which form a group. Even if the men's 110-meter hurdles and men's 100-meter hurdles, there are only two groups of players in the competition. The players participating in the first group of competitions are naturally the eight strongest. The champions are generally produced in them. The second group of players are relatively weak and can only become supporting roles.

Jeremy Warriorner, Dadron Williamson, Arien Franceco, Christoph Taylor, Otis Harris, Derek Bru and Gong Teng Jun-er. These seven people are the opponents Li Tian will face in the 400m competition. Among these people, in addition to Jeremy, the double champion of the World Championships and the Olympics, Dadron Williamson is also a difficult opponent. He has always been in the same track and field club with Jeremy. The two have been training together for several years, and Jeremy also agrees with his strength. Arien Franceco and Christoph Taylor are the top five figures in the men's 400m annual performance list last year, and both have the strength to approach the 44-second mark. Otis Harris and Derek Bru are also outstanding 400m players in the United States.

The two are also the runner-up and third place in the Athens Olympics event, which shows their strength. The least one thing that needs to be considered among the seven people is Japanese local player Teng Junji. This Japanese national champion does not pose any threat to Li Tian at all. His personal best score of 45 seconds 47 is enough to make others throw him away from the distance of more than 10 meters. In Li Tian's own words, this is a guy to make up the numbers. After walking into the warm-up area of ​​the stadium and scanning the opponent who also began to warm up, Li Tian retracted all his attention, and his whole aura became cold in an instant, and a strong "killing aura" gradually rose on him. The stadium is like a battlefield, there is no modesty or concession here. The only thing you can do is to knock down the opponent with all your strength, and there will be no second result.

"Haha, I have been looking forward to this duel for a long time. I hope Jeremy and Li Tian will not let my expectations be disappointed!" As Li Tian and Jeremy's status in the international field world becomes higher and higher, fewer and fewer people dare to call them "boys", but Michael Johnson can shout without any scruples. Not to mention the special relationship between him and the two, even if his status as a superstar in the world is not comparable to the two juniors. This time is the first duel between the two "junior brothers". As a "big brother", he certainly will not miss such a good show.

"It's so good to be young. I really envy them for being able to run freely on the field. If I could be ten years younger, I must fight them on the field!" said another black man wearing sunglasses, sitting next to Johnson.

"Why, did Li Tian break your world youth record? I'm still not convinced?" Johnson couldn't help but tease his friends. Yes, the big man sitting next to him is another figure known as the American field legend, Carl Lewis. Since Li Tian rewrites the 400-meter world youth record he held at the last track and field World Youth Championships, this field celebrity has been very concerned about the situation of this rising star. This time he followed Johnson to specially rush from the United States to Japan to watch the game.

"Am I the kind of petty person? Since I entered the professional field, I have known one thing - records are left to be broken by future generations. Didn't we also rewritten the original records back then? But now watching Jeremy and Li Tian compete on the court, it feels like I was like you back then. I really miss those passionate years!" Lewis's eyes stared deeply at the extremely familiar track in the stands.

"Yes, if you hadn't existed back then, I don't think I could have achieved such a high achievement. Jeremy and Li Tian were both lucky. They both found a good opponent for each other!" It was precisely because of the fierce competition between the two talented players, Lewis and Johnson, that they brought the men's 400m event to an unprecedented height. Now Li Tian and Jeremy are both talented. What prospects will their competition bring to the men's 400m event in the future? This is the result that both "old seniors" are very concerned about.

The number received from the staff of the organizing committee was pinned to the back of the sportswear with a pin. Li Tian was ready to go to the game. With the end of the women's 800-meter competition, eight contestants who participated in the men's 400-meter walked out of the warm-up area under the guidance of a etiquette lady.

"The audience in front of the TV will soon start the men's 400m competition, and Chinese young player Li Tian will also make his debut in this event. As we all know, at the World Youth Track and Field Championships held in Beijing a few months ago, Li Tian broke the world youth record that was maintained by American star Carl Lewis for nearly 20 years in the 400m event, and the 43.85 seconds he created is also the best result of the world this year, so today Li Tian is very hopeful to win his first international A-level championship." CCTV's sports commentator also seemed a little excited.

"In addition, since Li Tian and Jeremy Warriorner, the current men's 400m world double champion, have received guidance from internationally renowned coach Hart, this game was also hailed by many media as a "same-school showdown". The final result is that the junior brother defeated the senior brother or the senior brother successfully defended the title, which is also a major highlight of this game."

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves will keep our flesh and blood..." At this moment, a loud national anthem came from the TV. With the camera's footage, the audience in front of the TV could clearly see the stands on the east side of the stadium. Tens of thousands of Chinese audiences who came to the scene stood up, waving the national flag in their hands, and neatly singing the March of the Uprising Warriors. The majestic singing instantly drowned out all the sounds of the stadium.

Entering the arena and listening to the songs, the chorus of tens of thousands of people was shocking, and Li Tian's originally calm heart became a little excited. However, this was far from over. After a national anthem, another melody familiar to the Chinese sounded again on the field.

There is a river in the distant east, and its name is the Yangtze River.

There is a river in the distant east, and its name is the Yellow River.

...

There is a dragon in the ancient East, and its name is China.

There was a group of people in the ancient East, all of whom were descendants of the dragon.

I grew up under the feet of the dragon, and when I grow up, I will be the descendant of the dragon.

Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin, will always be the descendant of the dragon.

...

You will keep your eyes open and always keep your eyes open.

You will keep your eyes open and always keep your eyes open.

...

"It's "The Successor of the Dragon". Tens of thousands of Chinese audiences sang "The Successor of the Dragon" in the stands. I have never heard such an exciting song..." When the song was transmitted to all over the world through the TV signal, many Chinese audiences waiting in front of the TV couldn't help but hummed. Some overseas students and overseas Chinese couldn't help but moisten their eyes. They have long been regarded as second-class citizens overseas, and almost made them forget the national pride in their bloodlines.

"We are the descendants of the dragon, so we should awaken our pride as a 'dragon'!" Li Tian clenched his fists and stared at his compatriots singing in the stands.

Of course, not everyone was excited. At least a senior official of the Japanese government cabinet sitting on the rostrum had a veritable face. This official who was proficient in Chinese language and culture knew that the song "The Successor of the Dragon" was created on the background of Japan's invasion of Taiwan. Such a Chinese patriotic song rang on the local Japanese field and then spread it to the world through the Japanese TV signal. What made him frown even more was that the Chinese people in the stands seemed to have been awakened in the singing, and their aura became completely different from before.

Three minutes passed, and after the singing stopped, the commentator on the scene was eager to introduce the eight contestants who were about to appear. Amid the loud singing like a tsunami, his voice was like a small boat, and was instantly flooded by huge waves, forcing him to wait for the "concert" of Chinese audiences to continue working.

“…The fourth route: Li Tian, ​​China; the fifth route: Jeremy Warriorina, the United States…The eighth route: Gong Teng Junji, Japan.”
