Chapter 64
After reporting the good news to relatives and friends in China, Li Tian felt much more excited. After all, there are so many people who care about him and love him. They can share happiness with him and be happy and proud of every achievement he has achieved. Is there anything more happiness than this?
Putting away my phone and quickly putting on my warm coat and trousers. After venting all the things I had been deeply suppressed in my heart in the game just now, Li Tian no longer felt like he was "burning his body" just now.
"You kid is now very developed. You can't be famous. I see that you will be published in Deutsche tomorrow." After hearing Walter's words, Li Tian just smiled slightly. Now he has calmed down from his excitement. He also knows how important this result is to him. This 9.90 seconds can be said to have established his confidence in competing with world-class athletes. But the past is over. Li Tian always likes to look forward and continue to strive for new success. This is one of his major advantages. There is still a 400-meter race below. He needs to prepare carefully immediately and look forward to his excellent performance.
Seeing Li Tian seriously preparing for the 400m preliminaries again, even Walter, a "veteran", had to admire his maturity and calmness that was extremely asymmetric to his age.
"If I had run into the 47-second mark myself, maybe I would have become crazy right away!" Walter secretly laughed at himself.
If Walter is just admiring, then the other players in the warm-up zone are more respectful to Li Tian. It is well known that the Germans respect the strong. They have now regarded this young oriental teenager as the world's best track and field athletes, such as American athlete Gatlin and Jamaican star Asafa Powell. The former is the double champion of the men's 100m and 200m in the last Helsinki World Track and Field Championships, and the latter is the current holder of the men's 100m world record.
If any Chinese could see the scene in front of him now, he would definitely be extremely surprised and proud. On the only six tracks in the warm-up area, all the players consciously emptyed one of them, because there was a Chinese boy above this track. This is the real strong field, and the weak are not qualified to step in.
As it was almost 12 o'clock noon, the men's 400m preliminaries finally started. There were not many people participating in the 400m competition, with only more than 60 players in total, and they were divided into eight groups. The top four in each group could enter the next round. The second round of the competition will be held tomorrow afternoon, and the top four in the group will enter the semi-finals in the second round, and the final will be held the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
This time, Li Tian was not so lucky and was assigned to the seventh lane of the last group. This result made the players in the seventh lane in the first group breathe a sigh of relief, but the players in the eighth group were obviously not that good, because in this group, in addition to Li Tian, the terrible Chinese, there was also Kederman's stale rival in the German national team, Kross, who was very lucky to be in the same group as Li Tian.
"What are you laughing at? Don't think that you will be proud of yourself if you run at 9 seconds 90 in 100 meters. The 400-meter race is a world of difference from the 100-meter race! Only people like you who have never seen any big world will try their best to run in the preliminary round." Although they are not losing, after seeing the outstanding performance of 100 meters just now, Cross felt very strong pressure when he was facing Li Tian, and his guilty expression was undoubtedly revealed.
"Haha! Of course I know that running 100 meters and 400 meters will be a big difference. I came here just because I saw someone I knew and wanted to come over to say hello to you. There is no special meaning, but you don't seem to be very welcome, so that's fine. I hope you can perform well in a while." Seeing that he could put such pressure on his opponent, Li Tian was very satisfied. He now needs to constantly hone his momentum to prepare to challenge the world's famous generals in the future. Li Tian did not take him seriously at all for the strength of Cross. The best results were
With only 45 seconds 58, he could not pose a substantial threat to Li Tian. Although he ignored the existence of his opponent, it does not mean that Li Tian did not pay attention to the 400-meter preliminaries that will begin. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to every game. Whether he can win the championship this time is not very important to him. The most important thing about him is to test his body to recover from his own game state, and there is no better chance than actual combat. So whether he is in the preliminaries, rematches or semi-finals, he will do his best to treat them as the finals, and strive to create better results.
The first seven groups took nearly half an hour to play. When Li Tian's eighth group appeared, it started to snow, which made their bodies cool down quickly after warming up. In addition, Li Tian had never tried the competition in snowy days. In the L City of G Province in China, it has not snowed in the south for nearly 20 years. The lowest temperature in the year is usually only about seven or eight degrees. After arriving in Germany, they are training indoors and there is no chance. This will be a test for him. The eight players each stood on their own paths. Li Tian's seventh path is relatively outside, and the eighth path next to it is Cross.
This group was watched by many viewers because of the Chinese boy who ran for 9.90 seconds just now and Cross, the national team, who ran for 100 meters, people were looking forward to a battle. At this time, Cross, who likes to show off, raised his hands to pay tribute to the audience. As a representative of the local players, he is a member of the national team, and has a certain popularity. The audience also gave him warm applause. Cross, who withdrew his hands, looked at Li Tian proudly.
"Hmph! I am more famous and appealing in my hometown!" Cross thought to himself, but before he could even be proud of it, Li Tian did the same thing as him.
Li Tian smiled and waved his right hand to the crowd in the stands. A loud applause that was much stronger than before sounded like thunder, making Cross's face turn pale.
The contestant who had been in the event for a minute, got on the starting machine under the referee's command and prepared for the start. At this time, many spectators were still looking forward to Li Tian's shocking roar, but now Li Tian's heart was calm, throwing all his distractions out of his mind, and focusing all his attention on the front track.
"Bang!" When the starting gun sounded again, the eight players rushed out of the starting point. Cross was ahead of Li Tian. His goal was to catch up with the opponent of the heretic on the 100-meter straight road after the corner.
"Don't think of defeating me!" Seeing that Li Tian followed him closely, he was getting closer and closer, and he didn't intend to use all his strength, but this did not save the result of being surpassed by Li Tian. When he entered the second corner, Li Tian was already running side by side with him.
The last 100 meters is the most difficult distance among the 400 meters. The large amount of exercise running in the front 300 meters made the athlete's thighs gather a lot of lactic acid, which made the athlete's thigh muscles particularly tired. When entering the last straight, Kroos could only rely on the inertia of the sprint in front to maintain the high speed. But at this moment, he incredibly discovered that Li Tian, who was running in front of him, actually started to accelerate, and he ran faster and faster, just like he was participating in the 100-meter race just now.
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is I facing? He still has the strength to accelerate in the final stage of the 400m." Cross has completely lost hope for this 400m gold medal. When he faces Li Tian, he now feels the same powerlessness as when he met the 400m champion Warina in the last Helsinki World Track and Field Championships.
Amid the applause and cheers of the 60,000 viewers at the scene, Li Tian was more than ten meters ahead of Cross, and everyone regarded this gold medal as his treasure. When all the eight players rushed through the finish line, everyone's eyes focused on the huge electronic display screen.
