just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 284 The Semifinals End

on the runway,
At the final stage of the curve, the American player Sean Crawford, who was in the middle of the pass, had completely regained the initiative. With his strong personal strength, he had gradually opened up with Fredericks on the second pass and Fredericks on the third pass. The distance between Daobikviru.

However, when Crawford looked around from the corner of his eye again, he felt a little dissatisfied!

As long as he glanced around a little, the red shadow further to his right was clearly visible to his eyes.Seeing that he was about to enter the straight, he still didn't shorten the distance of the reach much. Although the lead is certain based on the current situation of the reach, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

As early as this year's indoor competition, he talked with his teammates at the time about the 200-meter champion of the Huaxia World Championships. Although it is not completely disdainful, it is certain that he does not take it seriously.

He is not blindly arrogant. He has understood to some extent that even if the opponent's explosive strength is not at his level, even if the opponent's time is 20 seconds.At that time, I still laughed and joked, for example, if the opponent can make it to the Olympics, he can compete with him again.

It really happened now, and it was still in the fierce competition like the semi-finals, but the facts seemed to have changed inadvertently.

In the past few days, Huaxia has snatched one silver and one gold in the 400m and [-]m. The US track and field team has long been fried, and the collection and analysis of various situations has not stopped recently.He has also seen a lot, so he understands more.

This also made him pay enough attention to it. The Chinese people seemed to have made too much progress, and they were no longer as good as they were during the World Championships.

At this moment, the two of them were competing on the track, and he could analyze the situation very clearly if he changed his mind for a moment.

Although he thought he was stronger in the second half than the first half, he knew that the opponent was also not weak in the second half.A special 200-meter athlete with good results. Although he may still be worse than him in terms of absolute strength, the opponent's hard work and stability seem to be the characteristics of all Chinese people he knows. This is what makes him feel scary.

"In the semi-finals, let's run as normal. In the finals, we will compete again..."

Sean Crawford kept making his own decisions in his mind, and tried very hard to control his urge to fight harder.

The lesson of fighting too hard in the 200-meter semi-final is still fresh in his memory. He doesn't want to do it again. Although the [-]-meter interval is very generous, he doesn't want any accidents now. He, including them, the United States, can't afford to lose!
Like Crawford, many athletes also turned their thoughts like lightning in their minds.It's just that after a short turn, I don't have the heart to analyze it anymore. The situation on the field has entered the most intense time.

The Englishman in the first line was desperate, because he had been pulled farther and farther away, and Fredericks in the second line was a little calm, but he also unconsciously increased his input.Even though he was old, he did not give up the self-esteem and pride of his generation of famous generals.The Portuguese of the three realms... the Jamaicans of the six realms, and the Chinese Zhu Kun of the seven realms...

100 meters, 110 meters...

Turn into a straight!
As the eight players ran into the straight track one after another, the situation in the field became clear instantly.

"It's really strong..."

After stepping onto the straight, his center of gravity and body posture were completely adjusted into the rhythm of running on the straight, and Zhu Kun swept left and right.Under this observation, some sighs were expected.

On the closest left and right, the player is close to him, and he seems to be slightly ahead, which is what makes him happy.From the perspective of feeling and judgment, he is also confident that he can continue to maintain such an advantage.

Just a little further away, he vaguely spotted the red mass. He knew who it was. He already understood the gap. The gap between 20 seconds and 20 seconds 4 was right there. 0.4 seconds is a big gap in terms of data, but in fact, the gap that is actually shown on the field looks even bigger, and it is really strong.

"Run as hard as you can, just don't give up! Come on, Zhu Kun!"

Silently pumping up his strength in his heart, he didn't think about it any more, and devoted himself to the game with all his heart.

"... Entering the straight, the position is very clear. The four-lane player Crawford is running at the front, and the two-lane Fredericks is almost on par with him. His position is not far behind. The Namibian The veteran is still very strong...Si Dao, Yang Zuyao, he is in the third position, the gap is not big, there is still a chance, Yang Zuyao's speed is very fast now...Obike is running in the fourth Weilu...Zhu Kun is still sixth, already fifth, he is still chasing, Zhu Kun come on..."

In front of the TV, the domestic audience watching the 200-meter semi-finals stared at the screen excitedly and nervously following the voice of the commentary, their eyes motionless, for fear of missing every detail.

Excited that Yang Zuyao looks stable, but also worried that the situation of another Chinese teenager seems to be not ideal.The two running Chinese people represent the motherland and touch everyone's hearts.

"It's really strong..."

At the same time, once entering the straight road, there is also an exclamation.

Yang Zuyao has a clear judgment on his position. He feels that he ran slightly better than in the rematch, but he is still behind in the current situation. He is not sure whether he is in the second or later position.

At least it was slower than Crawford. Although the gap was not that big, he knew it would not be easy to catch up.Just as the opponent has known them, the coach has also analyzed the specific situation of Crawford for them. Compared with the first half, the strength of the opponent in the second half is the best.

The running-in of the curves in the first half of the race was not enough. Yang Zuyao was troubled again.He asked himself that his strength in the second half might not be any worse than Crawford's, but now he lost in the first half.And he knew that his strength in the second half was not enough to make up for the gap between him and his opponent in the first half!
However, Yang Zuyao just struggled with himself a little bit, and still maintained a steady running rhythm. He gave up the 200 meters and focused on the Olympic 200 meters. He just found problems and then solved them.After all, there are still some rhythm differences between the [-] meters and [-] meters.

Since his time was delayed, he spent more energy to make up for it.He has always firmly believed that with the presence of a coach and greater efforts, there will be a day when he can perform perfectly.

While Yang Zuyao kept running at a high speed, the race progressed through 130 meters, 140 meters, 150 meters...

In the situation on the field, the speed of all the players still looks so fast. Due to the difference in strength between them, compared with the speed, the leading players seem to be even faster.

But in fact, at this moment, even if it is a person with excellent speed resistance, the speed will inevitably slip.Crawford is like this, Yang Zuyao is like this, third-level player Obike Velu is like this, and second-level veteran Fredericks is like this.

After all, the veteran's speed in the second half was not as good as before, and he gradually retreated from the first and second positions, replaced by Crawford and Yang Zuyao who followed closely behind.

Obikveru, including three, also caught up and gradually surpassed him. At this time, Fredericks was already in the fourth position. This situation made the 37-year-old Namibian feel in his heart A bleak sigh, really old!

"...Crawford ran in the first position, Yang Zuyao caught up with Fredericks, and is now in second place. His speed is still there, and the gap between him and Crawford is not big. 50 meters……"

Just like athletes accumulating strength, Huaxia's commentators are also slowly accumulating enthusiasm as they run, and their emotions are getting higher and higher at this time.

There are still 50 meters, 40 meters to the end...

With footsteps like the wind and figures like electricity, the leading players have widened the gap with the players behind them further and further, but their competition with each other seems peaceful at this moment.

Crawford is still in the lead, only more than half a body away. Yang Zuyao is in the second place, and the third-ranked Obikveru has surpassed the second-ranked Fredericks by one. Many positions remain in third place.

The rest of the contestants behind are chasing desperately, but the situation seems to be difficult to change...

170 meters, 180 meters, 190 meters, close to the finish line!
Yang Zuyao, Crawford, and Obikveru all swept left and right almost instantaneously.After withdrawing their gazes, they maintained their own speeds and pushed towards the finish line.

At this time, Yang Zuyao was almost on par with Crawford, but he didn't try to exert force anymore. In the last moment just now, Yang Zuyao could actually feel a little change in Crawford's dynamics.Maybe I wanted to rush harder and completely establish the lead, but in the end it seemed to give up again.

He didn't fight for the last one, it didn't make much sense, the coach told them to fight, but he didn't fight for the leading position in every preliminaries and rematch.In all competitions, from the preliminaries to the finals, what a mature athlete must do is to save instead.

Accumulating state, accumulating excitement, and accumulating the best state step by step until the moment of the final erupts, this is the right way.Of course, if the strength is not enough, that is another matter.

Yang Zuyao is like this, and Crawford is naturally happy to be like this. The two also crossed the finish line hand in hand like a tacit understanding.

"...Crossing the line, Yang Zuyao and Crawford crossed the line almost at the same time. The speed is very fast. It is difficult for us to distinguish who is first and who is behind, but this is not important! Yang Zuyao has already won the promotion spot for the final. We congratulate Yang Zuyao, he With an absolute advantage, I won the top two in the group and advanced to tomorrow's final..."

With a high tone, Yang Jian excitedly announced that Yang Zuyao had advanced to the finals. Following his voice, the camera pointed at the timing board in front of the finish line!

20 second 01!

The eight athletes who ran across the finish line just slowed down and looked at the timing board at the same time, and then raised their heads to look at the big screen at the scene.

On the big screen, after the referee confirmed it, it took only a few seconds for the final results of the first group of the semi-finals to appear:
1. The fourth track, Sean Crawford, the United States, with a score of 20 seconds;

2. The fifth track, Yang Zuyao, Huaxia, with a score of 20 seconds;

3. The third course, Obike Viru, Portugal, with a score of 20 seconds;

4. The second track, Fredericks, Namibia, with a score of 20 seconds;

5. Lane 20, Zhu Kun, Huaxia, time 43 seconds;

……

"The results of the semi-finals are out. No.1 is Crawford's time of 20 seconds. Our country's Yang Zuyao is ranked second. The time is also 01 seconds, just a difference in the thousandths... The third is... Zhu Kun ranked fifth, unfortunately, he was blocked from the final, with a time of 20 seconds, which is his personal best time, he is still young, and we also look forward to his future competitions..."

Amidst the excitement and somewhat regretful commentary, the performance form of the contestants on the TV screen disappeared, and the camera once again focused on the contestants before the finish line.

"Good run, see you in the final!"

Before the finish line, after confirming the results, Sean Crawford walked to Yang Zuyao's side, and the two hugged politely.

"See you in the final!"

Yang Zuyao smiled and patted each other's arms. He heard agreement from the other party's tone, but more of it was confidence.

He didn't care too much, the other party had reasons for self-confidence, and he also had the belief that he would not admit defeat.This time there was almost no gap between the two. Although there might be a gap in strength in the final final, he would not give up.

"Brother Yang, congratulations on making it to the final!"

Panting heavily, Zhu Kun walked to Yang Zuyao's side, and congratulated Yang Zuyao with disappointment in excitement.

He fought hard, but he still lost. Being able to get to this point was actually beyond his expectations.Maybe the team and the coaches are satisfied, but for him, he is still a bit disappointed. The first Olympic journey is over, and he can no longer fight side by side with Brother Yang!

"You run very well, you know? When I was 18, I was still working hard to score 21 seconds. Now you are 20..."

Stretching out his big hand and rubbing Zhu Kun's head, Yang Zuyao comforted him with a smile.

"Go, let's thank those who have always supported us..."

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Yang Zuyao..."

"Zhu Kun..."

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Huaxia must win!"

As the two joined hands and waved their hands to the Huaxia audience at the scene, loud slogans sounded loudly in the stands dotted with red, one wave after another!
……

side of the field,
With a faint smile, Lin Mu clapped along with the people around him.

Different from the passion and excitement that others seemed to have, although he was happy in his heart, he couldn't say he was too excited.

It's not that he's pretending to be indifferent, but the truth is, with his own strength and so many convenient assistance, it's expected to enter the finals.To say that among all athletes, Yang Zuyao is definitely second to none in terms of stability.

Rather than being excited about the results, he cared more about the flaws in the process.

Just as Yang Zuyao himself felt, Lin Mu, as the person who put forward the training direction, can still see their attributes and watch their training, naturally knows better.

Let the technical movements follow the improvement of physical fitness. The current situation is that Yang Zuyao's technical matching is slightly behind.With the explosive starting accumulation, the level he can play now is much worse than that of Zhao Lin, and he still can't maximize his strength.Although it was good on the way, it was still a little lacking in moving forward and flying, the landing point and angle of footsteps.

"Looking back, we need to make more efforts. Fortunately, this time the achievement points of the Olympic Games are not bad. We can also study it later to see what can help them further improve!"

Lin Mu analyzed the situation by himself, and Sun Ping who was beside him had a panoramic view of his situation.

"It's really calm, it seems to be thinking about something again, this mentality..."

Sun Ping shook his head secretly, a little helpless, and even a little envious.

He asked himself that he didn't have Lin Mu's mentality at all. When he entered the finals of the World Championships last year, and when Liu Xiang's rematch just ended, he was so excited.At that moment, I was only concerned with excitement, so I couldn't think of anything else.

It's no wonder that Director Yu left for something, and he didn't even have to confess, so he can rest assured that Coach Lin is responsible for it alone.

Maybe I should try to change a little bit!
Sun Ping silently set a small direction for himself in his heart.
