Orc Undead Sports Warrior
Chapter 205 Relay Race (2)
The two remained deadlocked until the very last moment before the baton was handed over.
If we compare individual best times, Zhang Yuanteng and Suetsugu Shingo still have a gap to close. However, in relay races, the team's performance is definitely not a simple sum of individual abilities.
Zhang Yuanteng's shot was a desperate effort, ensuring that Suejiro Shingo did not gain any advantage over him.
At this moment, Shingo Suetsugu was also a little apprehensive, based on his impression of the Chinese relay team last year. This was a young team with only drive.
In this team, the four players were relatively evenly matched. Even though Lu Wei performed exceptionally well in the final, if it weren't for the fact that Shinji Takahira couldn't catch up with Nobuharu Asahara, the fourth runner, during the final baton exchange, causing an interruption in the high-speed exchange, and if other national teams' baton exchanges weren't generally smooth, these four young men from China wouldn't have been able to perform exceptionally well and win the World Championship gold medal.
"This will absolutely not be allowed to happen again at this year's Olympics!"
Shingo Suetsugu secretly resolved to create more space for his teammates to establish a sufficient advantage during the final two sprints.
In terms of individual strength alone, the Japanese team has had an advantage against any relay team in Asia.
The claim that individual abilities are lacking only applies to top-tier sprinting nations like the United States and Jamaica. Even if these teams have a brief pre-race training session, as long as their performance during the race is mediocre, it will be difficult for the Japanese team to surpass them.
However, Shingo Suetsugu had enough confidence in the Chinese track and field team. Although Lu Wei's individual ability was already unmatched in Asia, he believed that the Japanese team still had an advantage against the other three. Even Shinji Takahira would not lose to the young Chinese player on the curves.
Coupled with Japan's world-leading baton-receiving ability, there is no way they could lose to their opponents.
"Yes, there's absolutely no way we can lose. I still need to try my best to reduce the pressure on Asahara-kun. We'll be invincible against Japan!"
Thinking of this, Shingo Suetsugu felt his body regain its power. He mustered his courage and maintained his speed without slowing down before taking over the baton from Shinji Takahira.
Seeing Zhang Yuanteng's expression, Shen Liang felt very anxious. He kept shouting, "Hurry up, hold on!"
He was the only one on the scene who could see Zhang Yuanteng's expression. Judging from the guy's face, it looked like he was making his final sprint in a 5000-meter race.
In team competitions, the energy released by team members is incomparable to that in individual competitions. This involves not only individual ability but also a sense of responsibility and trust in the team.
Zhang Yuanteng knew that as long as the first three batters could keep up with the Japanese team, Lu Wei would definitely have a way to handle the last batter.
He believed in Lu Wei and also believed that Shen Liang could eventually turn the situation around.
Shingo Suetsugu took a few firm and powerful steps in the last few steps, while Zhang Yuanteng staggered a bit at the end. They both gave it their all for their team.
The baton exchange between Shingo Suetsugu and Shinji Takahira was flawless, the speed of the exchange was as fast as if they were one person. Shinji Takahira accelerated at full speed after receiving the baton.
Zhang Yuanteng had already given it his all, and Shen Liang couldn't take over the baton at top speed. He controlled his speed slightly, and Zhang Yuanteng was able to catch up.
"Once we enter the bend, it's my territory. There's no way this kid can catch up with me!"
Shinji Takahira is very confident in his cornering technique, even though his speed is the worst among the four. However, he has been working hard to improve his cornering skills over the years, and he trains with all his might every day in order to be able to serve as the third runner for the Japanese team.
Over the years, even when others were on vacation, he never stopped training for a single day.
At the moment of baton exchange, the Chinese track and field team lost to Dafang by nearly a meter.
The Japanese team continued to expand their advantage by utilizing the details.
"It's about 6 meters. If this runner falls behind again, it could be dangerous!"
Lu Wei silently calculated the gap between the two teams in his mind. Without a start, he had no problem winning by more than 4 meters against Asahara Nobuharu. The remaining distance was a matter of fighting for it!
There was still water on the track, but Shinji Takahira adjusted his body angle perfectly. He had practiced on this track more than once in the rain.
On rainy days, his speed is basically the same as his speed under normal conditions.
Although driving at full speed on curves in this weather is like gambling, he is clearly a seasoned gambler who is ready to win again today.
When Shen Liang entered the bend, he was a little hesitant to exert force, fearing that if he slipped, all his efforts would be wasted.
At this point, both players overtook the South Korean team, having already surpassed the players in lane 7 and gained a lead of more than 10 points.
It was indeed a match between two teams.
Shinji Takahira has already overtaken Shen Liang. Even if the two are at the same speed, he will have a nearly 4-meter advantage after finishing the curve on the inside.
If they continue with their current timid and hesitant running style, even if they finish the race, they will have absolutely no chance of winning when Lu Wei takes over the baton.
Instead of anticipating a slow death, why not take a gamble?
There are many people gambling in this world every day!
Shen Liang was giving it his all, chasing after Gao Ping Shenshi. He couldn't care less about anything else anymore!
He clung tightly to Naidou, and also to Takahira Shinji.
From Lu Wei's perspective, Shen Liang seemed to have made a decision in his heart at a certain moment, suddenly transforming into a little leopard, relentlessly pursuing his prey.
Shinji Takahira has already left Shen Liang behind; this is determined by the design principles of the track. Team members who start ahead often feel they lose their advantage around the curves.
Shinji Takahata was in lane 4 and Ryo Shin was in lane 5. He thought the race was over for the day, so he ran even more freely and easily.
"Asahara-kun, this time I'm no longer a burden to the team. Wait for me to pass the baton to you, and enjoy the game!"
The race is about to begin, and Shinji Takahira's face is already beaming with joy. Today, he has defeated Hugh Hogan in the men's 200-meter race.
Now that Shen Liang is firmly suppressed, even if Japan's biggest rival in Asia competes on home soil, the Olympics will not be able to shake Japan's position.
However, upon entering the straight road, Shinji Takahira saw Nobuharu Asahara's gloomy face.
In my memory, Asahara-kun was not an extremely harsh person. Although he worked very hard, he was very tolerant of others.
what happened? !
Takahira Shinji turned to look at Lu Wei, only to find his eyes sparkling with energy, his expression like that of a warrior about to charge into battle.
"This guy is something else! He's still so competitive at a time like this. Does he want to beat Asahara-kun by 10 meters in a 100-meter race? He's a madman!"
In an instant, he suddenly realized that he had been making assumptions, and that this was completely illogical.
