Game start!
Powell's start was very good, with a reaction time of only 0.142 seconds, while his compatriot Dwight Thomas' start was very poor, with a reaction time of more than 0.18 seconds.
Zhang Guan's starting speed can only be said to be quite satisfactory, 0.159 seconds, slower than Kim Collins, Jason Gardner and Obikwelu, while the defending champion Maurice Green's starting speed is similar to Zhang Guan's, which is 0.158 seconds.
The athlete begins to accelerate.
After starting, Green found that Zhang Guan was running alongside him, which was obviously unacceptable to Green, so he began to accelerate with all his strength, hoping to gain the lead and leave Zhang Guan behind.
At the same time, Kim Collins also started to work hard. His opponents were very strong. If he didn't work hard at the beginning, he would definitely be eliminated.
Another sprinter is Englishman Jason Gardner. He is also a famous track and field star, but he is already 31 years old this year and his strength has begun to decline. At his current level, he does not have an advantage in this group, and he is the only one in the UK to survive in the 100-meter dash. For the sake of Britain's face, he also has to work hard to enter the finals.
The performance of Collins and Gardner immediately put a lot of pressure on Powell. Coupled with the Portuguese Obikwelu who was chasing after him, Powell made an instant judgment that he had to go faster, otherwise it was very likely Knocked out.
Obikweru squinted his eyes, glanced at the other athletes, and thought to himself: "We are only in the semifinals. How come the speed is so high right from the start? Powell spent so much energy in the semifinals, how can he run in the finals? I can't be like Powell, as long as I can hold on to my position and make it to the finals."
The next moment, two figures caught up with Obikwelu at the same time.
"What's going on? Two people came at once! This is the semi-finals!" Obikwelu was stunned, and these two people had surpassed Obikwelu.
"It's Maurice Green! He also runs so fast! The other one is the Chinese! Is he as fast as Morris Green?"
Obikweru was shocked. He was not sure that he could defeat Green, and naturally he was not sure of defeating Zhang Guan, who was as fast as Green. In an instant, he fell from second place to fourth place, and was already in the final stage of elimination. the edge of.
"What are you doing? This semi-final is like a final! What's wrong with each one? Have you been beaten? I'm really going to be eliminated if I don't hurry up." Obikwelu also took out a copy and looked at it Family skills.
On the sidelines, Crawford and Gatlin who were watching the game were extremely happy. This was the effect they wanted. Judging from the current situation, the semifinals will definitely consume a lot of energy from Maurice Green, and before the finals even begin, Green is already at a disadvantage.
Forty meters later, Ghanaian Mills and another Jamaican player Thomas were clearly lagging behind, but the competition became even more intense. Kim Collins and Jason Gardner are desperately chasing Obikeweru. The gap between them is not big. And at the forefront are Powell, Green and Zhang Guan. It is difficult to use between the three. The difference can be distinguished with the naked eye.
Although Maurice Green's emotional intelligence is not high, his sports IQ is not lacking at all. He has discovered that Zhang Guan's speed is no worse than his own. If he continues to fight like this, it will be difficult to determine the winner before the finish line.
"I am the world champion! There is no way I can lose to him!" The anger in Green's heart has gradually disappeared, replaced by the desire for victory.
"Crazy! Two crazy people! This is only the semi-finals, why are you working so hard! Don't you want to run in the finals? Just run away. What's the point of fighting for the first place in the semi-finals?" Sandwiched between the two people Powell kept cursing in his heart.
Powell secretly looked behind him and realized that the fourth-placed Portuguese, Obikewelu, was already far behind, but he had just suppressed Collins and Gardner. Only then did Powell realize that Piccolo has already begun to withdraw his strength.
"Anyway, the top four will advance to the next round. I'd better save my strength and don't fight with two lunatics. The right way is to fight hard in the finals later." Powell thought of this and gradually slowed down. With Powell's speed, Zhang Guan and Green instantly surpassed Powell and took the lead.
Originally, the three of them were running neck and neck, but as Powell fell behind, the enthusiasm on the field was instantly ignited.
The audience who are willing to go to the scene to watch the game are still aware of the goods. In the first group of the previous semi-finals, the athletes obviously did not try their best. That kind of passive game state obviously could not conquer the audience's appetite. In the second group of the semi-finals, at least two athletes were desperately fighting for first place, and they were the two strongest in this group.
An exciting showdown is what the audience is looking forward to. Since the athletes do not begrudge their physical strength, the audience will not begrudge their cheers and applause either.
Seventy meters later, there was still no gap between the two.
Zhang Guan could clearly feel the pressure Green put on him, and he even vaguely felt that he might fall behind at any time in this competition. Zhang Guan can feel that Green's strength may be slightly stronger than his current self.
"This is talent!" Zhang Guan sighed secretly.
For professional athletes, talent is far more important than hard work. For those who can become professional athletes, everyone works hard enough and sweats enough on the training field, but not everyone has strong enough talent.
Maurice Green is clearly the most talented athlete in the world right now. He has unparalleled talent.
Zhang Guan knows that he actually has no talent. Without this system and sprinting skills, his real speed would not be qualified to be an athlete. But this system is the source of all his confidence.
"Anyway, I have a potion to restore physical strength. Let's fight to the end today!" Zhang Guan's eyes flashed with a stern look. His speed did not slow down at all, and he still sprinted forward with all his might.
…
Director Yu, who was watching the match from a distance, clenched his fists. Although he really hoped that Zhang Guan could defeat Maurice Green, his reason told him that this was only a semi-final and Zhang Guan should not be so desperate.
"Slower, slower! Now that I have exhausted all my energy, what will I do in the finals? Slow down!" Director Yu kept shouting in his heart, while Zhang Guan on the court was still sprinting with all his strength.
Not far away, the coach of the US team also looked anxious. Maurice Green fought too hard. If he exhausted too much in the semifinals, he would not be able to show his speed in the finals.
"What is Green doing? It's just the semifinals. If you lose, you lose. As long as you can advance, the finals are the most important. How can you run in the finals if you are exhausted? If you keep running like this, this gold medal will be given away to others! Fortunately, we have Crawford and Gatlin. This gold medal still belongs to our American team." The coach of the American team suddenly turned to look at Crawford and Gatlin, only to find that the two men had proud expressions on their faces. .
"Huh? If Green lags behind, these two guys will benefit the most. It's not like these two guys are responsible!" The coach of the American team frowned.
The coach is naturally aware of the fierce competition among the athletes of the US team. However, the athletes of the US team are all big names, and the big-name athletes are obedient to the coach. Therefore, the coach does not interfere too much in the competition between the athletes. Moreover, Morris Green's arrogant character is also very disliked by the coach. At this moment, the coach feels an inexplicable sense of schadenfreude.
…
On the field, the athletes were approaching the finish line, but Morris Green began to struggle in his heart.
"This is the semi-finals. There is no need to work hard. Running like this consumes too much energy and will be very disadvantageous in the finals. Should I go slower and save more energy for the finals?" Maurice Green He hesitated for a moment, but immediately rejected the idea.
"No, I have laughed at Crawford before, mocking him for not being able to outrun a Chinese. If I also lose to this Chinese, then Crawford will definitely laugh at me, and then I will be embarrassed! Why are these damn Chinese running so fast!"
Green remembered the way Crawford had brought the newspaper in the morning, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled. Crawford did not send the newspaper to hurt him, but to allow him to fight Zhang Guan head-on, so that he could reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
"Damn Crawford! But so what? I'm Maurice Green, I'm the strongest sprinter in the world, and I won't lose!"
The end is in sight, and it is impossible for Green to give up. He is the world champion and he wants to maintain his dignity.
Morris Green didn't give up.
Zhang Guan will naturally not give up.
Although Zhang Guan is not a world champion, he is an athlete. The finish line is already in front of him, and his competitors are by his side. Of course, he must fight for the first position without hesitation. This is the dignity of an athlete!
The two continued to go hand in hand. They both made movements to cross the line at the same time. They both crossed the finish line at the same time!
"Cross the line!"
"Who crossed the line first?"
"Who is faster?"
The time stopped at 9.83 seconds. Everyone's attention was focused on the big time card.
"The first place is 9.83 seconds. Who is it?" Director Yu looked at the scoreboard and shouted excitedly: "It's Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan is 9.83 seconds!"
At the same time, Director Ma next to him shouted in disappointment: "Green, 9 seconds 83!"
The next moment, the two realized at the same time that Zhang Guan and Green had achieved the same result, both 9.83 seconds!
There was also an uproar in the audience. Then everyone looked at the finish line expectantly, waiting for the referee's final decision.
——————
The first chapter has been sent, please vote for recommendation.
By the way, before I started writing this book, I checked the information of this semi-final match. Everyone retained their strength and waited to play in the final. How should I write about this? Do we want to write that our protagonist tried his best to qualify first in the group like a fool when other players did not try their best? Obviously it is impossible to write like this. Therefore, during the spinach plot, we began to lay out the line of the semi-finals. Through Zhang Guan buying himself to win, it brought out the change in the favorite to win the championship later, and then combined it with Green's competitive character to create a plot of two people fighting to the end. , and this line is not over yet, there is still a continuation.
To pass the test, I think that every game I write is unique, but writing about sprint events is different from writing about football and basketball. Football is 90 minutes and basketball is 48 minutes, not counting overtime. It is easy to make each game unique. The 100-meter dash It only lasts ten seconds, and it is very difficult to make each game unique, so many times it is necessary to dig out the plot many chapters in advance. For example, the previous spinach plot will also lead to other branches or important characters. I will not reveal the details. Everyone will slowly understand. Saw it.
Guan Guan is better at this kind of long-term layout. Some foreshadowing may have a chain reaction, which can be regarded as a personal style. Some long-term layouts may not turn out well in the end, but passing the test is really about planning and designing the plot carefully. I feel that no matter whether the plot is good or not, writing must be done carefully and be worthy of the readers of my book, even if it is a certain plot. The plot was not very satisfactory, but I thought carefully about it and planned it. At least it was an explanation for myself.
