Chapter 200 World Championships Qualifying Round

After the eighth group of players finished their competition, I don't know how the tournament was arranged, but the two Jamaican players who were most likely to win the championship were arranged into the ninth group. Maybe the tournament committee didn't like Yao Wang very much, but what does it have to do with the cartel?

Following the broadcast, the players were organized to enter the venue and prepare.

The ninth group of players started the race. This group included not only the starting machine Nesta Carter, the medicine king Steve Mullins, the South African star Van Niekerk, and the American star Spielmont. There were also three Chinese players, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye. As the home team players, the three of them knew which group they were in a long time ago. They entered the venue after having enough food and drink.

If the sixth group competition can be called fierce, then the ninth group can be said to be a small final. The members of the competition team were allocated in this way, which is self-evidently to improve the performance of the three flower-growing players. Because entering the semi-finals is not based on ranking but on performance. In fact, the competition team also looked for Zhao Yun's team leader, but when the team leader asked Wang Xin, Wang Xin told the team leader to trust Zhao Yun. After the team leader reported Wang Xin's words to the competition team, the competition team arranged a better track position and group for Zhao Yun. Of course, Zhao Yun didn't know this.

"Everyone in his place"

"preparation"

Bang! The starting gun sounded.

The ninth group of players started the race. At the beginning of the race, Nestacartel was in the lead with a reaction speed of 0.138 seconds. Su Bingtian still had an advantage in the first few dozen meters. The gap in the first bend was not particularly large. In the last meters of the straight, Spiermont began to catch up and kept pace with Nestacartel. Following closely behind them were Steve Mullins and Van Niekerk. Xie Zhenye actually surpassed Su Bingtian in the straight stage.

In the end, Nesta Carter won the first place with 19.91 seconds, Spielmon won the second place with 19.94 seconds, Van Niekerk won the third place with 19.96 seconds, and Steve Mullins won the fourth place with 19.97 seconds. Xie Zhenye won the fifth place with 20.44 seconds, Su Bingtian won the sixth place with 20.46 seconds, and Zhang Peimeng won the eighth place with 20.58 seconds. After the run, the three flower-growing family players hugged each other and collapsed at the finish line. It was good that they were pulled forward and did not lose their rhythm. All three of them burst out with unprecedented ability. This result is a result they have never run before, and it has created history.

After all the contestants in the ninth group finished their competition, the final rankings appeared on the big screen in the center of the gymnasium. The list of the 18 people who entered the semi-finals was announced.

"It can be said that except for Bolt, all the famous athletes came to this year's World Championships. Rudy Gay, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin, known as the five tigers of the 100 meters, all four of them participated. This event is of great value," said host Li Lu.

"That's right. With so many famous players gathered together, many young players have a better opportunity to learn. Several seeded players in our Flower Growers have achieved amazing results. This is the benefit of competing with masters. Playing chess with bad players will only make you worse and worse. Only by competing with masters can you make better progress and find your own shortcomings. After all, the competition in the video is clearer than in reality." said the guest coach Sun Ming.

"Yes! That's right! Coach Sun is absolutely right. The results of the good games are out. Let's take a look at the final roster that made it to the semi-finals."

"The four tigers we are familiar with, 1. Tyson Gay, 2. Yohan Blake, 3. Asafa Powell, 4. Justin Gatlin, are all selected, 5. Nesta Carter, 6. Akani Sibini, 7. Oluso Kifasuba, 8. Spiermon, 9. Steve Mullins, 10. Zhao Yun, congratulations to Zhao Yun for breaking the Asian record again and entering the semi-finals, 11. Christian Coleman, 12. Van Niekerk, 13. Michael Rogers, 14. Richard Thompson, 15. Marvin Blasey, 16. Cui Wangbu Romell, 17. Fred Collet, 18. Ronnie Baker, 19. Lamont Marcel Jacobs, 20. Walter Dix, 21. Andre De Grasse, 22. Ronnie Baker, 23. Alonso Edward, 24. Makawala, 25. Isayan, 26. De Grasse. Because three players had the same score, the above 26 players finally advanced to the semi-finals. "(The numbers in front do not represent the ranking, but are just for readers to distinguish. The results of the preliminaries are all watered down, so there is no need to rank them.)

"It's a pity! Although Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye and Zhang Peimeng ran amazing results, they still missed the semi-finals." Coach Sun Ming said regretfully.

"That just proves how formidable Zhao Yun is! On a stage with so many masters gathered together, Zhao Yun fought his way out. You know, this qualifying round is not ordinary! Justin Gatlin was the one who really exploded at the start, and the people behind him all put in their best efforts. Look at how many results were under 20 seconds! This is the most intense qualifying round ever. It's so exciting. Glass was even confused. It seemed that he wanted to save some strength in the beginning, but in the end he was sprinting for his life!" said Li Lu.

"Indeed! I had the same feeling when watching Glass's group's match. In the beginning, he seemed to feel that it was just a qualifying match and he just needed to exert a little bit of his spare strength. But in the end, he realized that this was not going to work because his opponents were too fierce, so he quickly sped up. It felt quite interesting, too. Hahaha!" Sun Ming said with a smile.

"Well, dear audience friends, today's live broadcast of the 2013 Beishan World Athletics Championships has come to an end. Please continue to tune in to our Yandu News and Sports Channel tomorrow to watch our 200m semi-finals. Goodbye! See you tomorrow," said the host.

"Goodbye!" Sun Ming also waved goodbye.

After the competition, Wang Bing found Zhao Yun again, "Hello! Zhao Yun! Can you accept our interview?"

After seeing the person coming, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Of course!"

"Well, first of all, congratulations on entering the semi-finals. You are the first athlete to represent the flower-growing country to enter the 200m semi-finals of the World Championships. Just like your 100m, you have made history again. And we saw that you broke the Asian record again, and refreshed your PB to 19.97 seconds. How do you feel about this achievement?"

"First of all, thank you for your compliments and blessings! Regarding breaking the history, I want to say that the historical record is there. It may be me who breaks it today, but someone else may break Zhao Yun's record tomorrow. I don't think this achievement is worth bragging about, but I am really happy to be in the semi-finals."

"Haha! Well, let me ask you one last question that many people want to know the answer to. What did you and Rudy Gay say to each other on the court at the last moment of the game? Why do you two look so confident?"

"Hahaha! Actually we didn't say anything, it was just that we looked like we were talking in the camera. He turned around and saw me, then he smiled, and I was infected by his emotion and smiled too. He smiled and I smiled, and I rushed to the finish line unconsciously. I don't know why he smiled. As for the question of self-confidence, I think neither of us has this idea."

"Hahaha! Thank you for accepting my interview."

"You're welcome! Bye!"

Then reporters from Penguin, Weibo, Qiandu, Jiulang, Sogou, and Beishan Province all came to interview Zhao Yun. As Zhao Yun's performance became more and more outstanding, more and more reporters came to the qualifying rounds.

After the interview, Wang Bing posted a message on Weibo using his personal account, saying that competitive sports also have happy moments, and attached a picture of Zhao Yun and Tyson Gay smiling at each other.

After this article was published, it broke everyone's perception of the cruelty of competitive sports, and many people made the animated picture of the two of them smiling at each other into emoticons.

A Weibo post that was not expected to go viral unexpectedly became popular without any warning, with a staggering 1.2 million views.

The investors saw Zhao Yun's business ability and traffic. They called the Commerce Department of Beishan Sports Bureau again and expressed their intention to cooperate. The colleagues in the Commerce Department said that although they were busy, they were very happy.

After returning, Liu Jinhui also talked to Zhao Yun about other types of brand endorsements. Zhao Yun said that domestic brands must be given priority. Great Wall, a local car brand in Beishan, also expressed its desire to cooperate with Zhao Yun, but it had to launch a new brand for Zhao Yun. In this way, if this brand can take off, it will form a pattern of multi-legged walking of its own brand. They will develop it as soon as possible and it has reached a critical stage, but Zhao Yun needs to give them some time, but it won’t be too long. Zhao Yun said he was willing to wait. In fact, the Ministry of Commerce was not very willing to cooperate with them because there was a waiting period. After all, there were too many uncertainties for athletes. Think about Liu Xiang back then. He was still sought after by thousands of people before the game, but after the game, he was criticized by countless Chinese people. But since Zhao Yun talked with Wang Xin, he wanted to leave something for Beishan City and didn’t want to leave with too many regrets.

Huawei also plans to launch a product to compete with foreign brands. After seeing Zhao Yun's positive and sunny image, they also expressed their intention to cooperate. Yu Chengdong expressed great sincerity and said that Zhao Yun and Liu Yifei would be the spokespersons together. He is familiar with Zhao Yun, the fairy sister, and expressed the hope that the Ministry of Commerce can facilitate this cooperation. In order to support a brand that can go abroad, he is also willing to cooperate with Liu Yifei.

At the national level, YILI also approached the Ministry of Commerce for milk. In fact, Meng NIU also approached the Ministry of Commerce, but you know, as an athlete in the system, how can you endorse other competing products? Unless your brand is strongly supported by the country, you should just stand aside.

There are many other brands, Liu Jinhui plans to set aside a few days to negotiate with them. During this time, Zhao Yun will focus on the competition and not be distracted by these things.

Liu Qin and Man Man also sent WeChat messages. Since Zhao Yun's phone was always turned off, they could not get through and could only leave messages. They asked Zhao Yun to play well. Liu Qin also said that they would celebrate after Zhao Yun finished the game. After Zhao Yun replied to their messages, he followed Wang Xin to the infirmary for a physical examination, and then did a series of physical health care.

After dinner, Wang Xin, Li Deming, Yang Dezhi and Zhao Yun watched the highlights of the day's game in the small conference room, including Nesta Carter's starting action, Blake's acceleration in the corners, Powell's running action and other famous players' signature skills. They analyzed them one by one, and made detailed adjustments to the problems that Zhao Yun encountered in the preliminaries. Finally, they came up with a plan for tomorrow's game.

"When starting, we still need to be steady. After all, if something goes wrong, running again will affect our mentality. We still have to go all out in the starting and accelerating stage. Although you are really talented, you still have to learn from masters. After the game, I contacted Su Bingtian's coach and planned to use the funds from our Sports Bureau to hire him to teach us the essentials of starting and accelerating." Li Deming analyzed.

"OK, all right!"

"Also, we still need to practice more on the cornering part. Although you have made great improvements recently, you still have room for growth. You have not reached the peak of your talent at all. I still have to find other famous teachers to see if they can provide some guidance. In the straight-line stage, you are already at the forefront of the world. Just maintain it. When you get older and adjust your physical condition to the peak, you will naturally make progress. There is no need to worry too much about this." Li Deming said confidently.

"In addition, I found that we actually have a big fatality in training." Wang Xin said after summarizing through the video.

"Oh! What do you mean by fatal? Let's quickly adjust Zhao Yun's skills before they are fully formed." Li Deming asked Wang Xin.

"Zhao Yun still runs on his toes, but I noticed that Su Bingtian now grips the ground with his soles. I analyzed it and found several advantages of doing this. First, gripping the ground with the soles is more stable than landing on the toes, so it is less likely to cause injuries such as sprains and broken feet. Second, gripping the ground with the soles for a long time can keep the load on the Achilles tendon and the pressure on the toes smaller, which can better reduce injuries. Third, after the soles of the feet grip the ground, there is an inertial push forward, which makes the acceleration more powered. This is the reason why I see Su Bingtian making rapid progress. In addition to the technical level, I feel that there is a lot of skill in his foot gripping the ground in terms of movements." Wang Xin said.

"Yeah! What you said is a little different from what I saw in his recent games. Your reminder makes sense. After the game, we will develop a complete training plan, from starting to acceleration to corners, and then to the essentials of the movements. We will start over and make sure to ensure Zhao Yun's career. It would be best if we could extend his career longer. Don't let the tragedy of Liu Xiang and Yao Ming happen again, where they had the ability but were ruined by injuries. This is the most helpless and regrettable thing for athletes. It's as uncomfortable as if I won the silver medal with the championship moves." Li Deming said seriously.

"Yes! I will listen to the coach's instructions." Zhao Yun said after listening.

"Okay, that's all for today. Go back and have a good rest so you can run better tomorrow." After Li Deming spoke, Zhao Yun said goodbye to his coach and went back to rest.
