Under normal circumstances, when Kiprop suddenly accelerates, Zhang Guan, who is behind him, will definitely be unable to react in time. There will be a gap between the two, and this gap will also give Birkensa the opportunity to jump in line.
But Kiprop didn't know that his little trick had no effect in front of Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's "follow and run" skill was completely based on Kiprop's rhythm, so when Kiprop accelerated, Zhang Guan will also accelerate immediately. It can be said that there is no time gap between them, and there will be no gap in distance.
When Kiprop accelerated for the first time, Zhang Guan also accelerated, so Birkensa had no chance. Then Kiprop accelerated for the second time, and Zhang Guan continued to accelerate. At this time, there was a gap between Zhang Guan and the players behind him. Berkensa found that there was no hope of jumping in front of Zhang Guan, so he had to jump in behind Zhang Guan. .
Of course, Kiprop didn't know what happened just now. He still couldn't figure out why Birkensa ran behind Zhang Guan. However, at this time, the game had entered the second corner area, and the athletes were about to start a stalemate. , no one will change positions in common sense, and Kiprop will not play any more tricks.
But Zhang Guan was a little puzzled. The Kenyan in front of him kept looking back frequently. Sometimes even Zhang Guan himself thought something happened behind him.
…
The second lap went by relatively smoothly, and all the players were in the same group. The pace of the front runners was always relatively fast, and even the weaker players were able to keep up with the pace of the race.
In fact, the players with really poor strength have already been eliminated in the preliminary round. By the semi-finals, the strength of the players has improved a lot. As long as they are not leading the way, no one will be there. I couldn’t keep up with the pace on the second lap.
The positions on the field basically did not change. It was not until the last lap reminder bell rang that the athletes knew that the final moment was coming, and then they began to accelerate.
The first one to fall behind was American player Manzano Lanno. When other athletes first started accelerating, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was gradually left behind. The Spanish player Casado, who performed well in the preliminary round, also did the same. It seems that he is a little unable to do what he wants, and he follows with a little reluctance.
The contestants entered the penultimate straight. At this time, the stronger ones increased their speed by another level. When they reached the last corner, some even started to sprint.
At this time, the athletes gradually divided into three groups. Seven people, including Zhang Guan, were in the first group. They obviously wanted to qualify for the finals; the other four weaker players fell into the second group. This group includes the Algerian player Birkensa. These players can be said to have no hope of advancing. Even the fastest players outside the top five will not be able to get their turn; and just now, the American Lan has already fallen behind. Nuo ran alone at the end.
The gap between the first group of players is not very big. Although everyone is faster at the moment, it is obvious that they have not tried their best to run. All those who hope to advance to the finals are ready to save their energy for the sprint on the final straight track. among.
Finally, the leading group entered the final straight track, and several players started to accelerate almost at the same time.
Kiprop is indeed the favorite to win the championship, and his speed is indeed faster than others. He came from behind, quickly surpassed other players, and then reached the second position.
The reason why he is second is because besides him, Zhang Guan is also initiating a transcendence. Zhang Guan was faster. Not only did he surpass the others, he also surpassed Kiprop.
"I was overtaken by Zhang Guan! Damn it, how fast was he able to run so fast in the final sprint of 1,500 meters? If he hadn't been following me, I would have thought he only joined the race halfway." Propp watched helplessly as Zhang Guan caught up with him from the outer lane and then overtook him, but there was nothing he could do. His speed was really not as fast as Zhang Guan.
At this time, the audience gave Zhang Guan the most enthusiastic cheers. The Chinese pronunciation of "cheer" sounded really ups and downs to Kiprop, but Kiprop found it extremely harsh.
Zhang Guan was in front, and Kiprop could no longer see Zhang Guan's side. All he could see was Zhang Guan's back.
Kiprop knew that he had lost. He felt unwilling and confused, but more importantly, he was ashamed.
In the preliminaries a few days ago, Kiprop was still laughing at others for not being Zhang Guan's opponent, but today, he himself was defeated by Zhang Guan!
…
"Zhang Guan, passed! First, the advantage is huge! Crossed the line! Congratulations to Zhang Guan! We congratulate Zhang Guan, who advanced to the men's 1500m final as the first in the group!" The commentator looked at his hand information, and then said: "The men's 1500m final will be held on August 19, the day after tomorrow. We also hope that Zhang Guan can perform better in the final and win a medal or even a gold medal! "
The audience was still cheering and applauding, and the athletes who advanced to the finals were also celebrating.
Ramzi felt the pressure, and Zhang Guan successfully advanced to the finals, and also showed good form. Especially when Kiprop suddenly accelerated twice in the game, he was unable to open up the gap with Zhang Guan, and even more It made Ramzi feel a heavy burden.
Zhang Guan's final sprint was still very fast, not at all the sprint speed that 1500 meters should be. This made Ramz involuntarily recall the Asian Games two years ago and his own defeat.
Ramzi suddenly became worried. He felt that he was likely to lose to Zhang Guan in the final and lose the Olympic championship he dreamed of.
There was a hesitant expression on Ramzi's face, as if he was making a very difficult decision. He looked at Zhang Guan who was celebrating at the finish line, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind. Ramz then walked quietly to his coach.
The previous middle-distance running coach of the Bahrain team was the well-known American coach Vergil. However, after the Bahrain team failed to win the middle distance championship in the Asian Games, coach Vergil voluntarily resigned and left, continuing to return to the United States to live his retirement life. . So the Bahrain team hired another head coach with a high salary. This new head coach is also an American.
Ramz said: "Coach, I want to increase the amount of 'that'."
"Shut up!" the coach whispered, "Are you crazy? You are saying this kind of thing here! If others hear it, we will be finished."
"Now the whole audience is cheering. No one will hear such a loud sound. Besides, everyone's eyes are focused on Zhang Guan, and no one will care about us." Ramzi almost reached the coach's ear. He lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Guan seems to have returned to his peak state, just like he did in the Asian Games two years ago. I'm afraid I won't be his opponent in the game the day after tomorrow, so I have to find some other ways. Win.”
"That won't work. Your current dosage is already high enough. I'm even worried that you will be found out." The coach said.
"Didn't we entrust a professional institution in the United States to conduct testing before? The results were normal. I think the Olympic drug test may not be able to detect it." Ramzi continued: "Bahrain has never won an Olympic championship. If I can win the Olympics, If I win the championship, we will have everything, but if I don't win the championship, all our previous efforts will be in vain! At this time, we must take a gamble!"
