All-round Athlete

Chapter 757

The exclamation at the scene suddenly increased. Originally, people were exclaiming that Li Zhengzhu fouled Zhang Guan, but now they were exclaiming that Li Zhengzhu fell out by himself.

On the field, Lee Jung-soo pushed Zhang Guan fiercely, but Zhang Guan was not affected at all, and continued to slide forward. On the other hand, Lee Jung-soo fell backward like a kite with a broken string.

"How is this possible!" Coach Cui Guangfu suddenly exclaimed, he couldn't believe everything in front of him. The one who was pushed was fine, but the one who pushed fell down. It was like a dance performance. Coach Cui Guangfu even felt that he was in the wrong place. This is not a short track speed skating venue, but a certain Stage for drama performances.

Coach Cui Guangfu's voice also woke up Coach Li Bing. He originally lowered his head, not daring to look at the situation on the field, but at this moment he raised his head again, just in time to see Li Zhengzhu falling to the ground.

"What happened? I remember Li Zhengzhu was going to foul Zhang Guan, why did he fall to the ground instead?" Coach Li Bing looked confused.

What was even more surprising was Li Zhengzhu himself. He thought that Zhang Guan would be pushed against the wall by himself, but it turned out to be completely different. When he realized that his body was out of balance, his mind went blank.

"Puchi!" Li Zhengzhu fell to the ground, the coolness from the ice brought his thoughts back to his brain instantly, and he suddenly remembered that what he saw just now out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Guan was not affected in the slightest, and continued sliding forward.

"I fell! Obviously I pushed him, and I used a lot of force. Why did I fall, but he seemed to be fine? How could there be such a strange thing!" Li Zhengzhu said A hellish expression.

However, the next moment, there was a violent collision feeling, and a blue figure pressed on him.

There were five players on the field, of which Zhang Guan and Canadian player Hamelin were all wearing white uniforms, while the three players from the South Korean team were wearing blue uniforms, so Lee Jung-soo immediately understood that he and his teammates bumped into each other.

"Not good! We collided with our own people! This game, we are finished!"

...

"Foul! Lee Jung-soo is fouled! It's so dangerous! Zhang Guan was not affected by the foul, but Lee Jung-soo fell down. Is it a mistake? Be careful! Oh my god, Lee Jung-soo fell and hit! The Korean team The three team members collided together!"

The exclamation of the narrator resounded throughout the audience.

Li Zhengzhu never expected that he would fall, and when he fell, it would also affect Li Haoxi behind him. Li Haoxi had no room to hide, so he collided with Li Zhengzhu who fell to the ground.

Behind Li Haoxi, it was Cheng Shibai who followed closely. Li Haoxi's sight was still blocked by Cheng Shibai. He bumped into Li Haoxi who was in front of him, which incidentally turned into a series of accidents where three people collided, and all three were Korean players.

Hamelin, who was on the last side, noticed that the athletes in front had collided with each other, so he immediately took an evasive action and walked around from the side.

Hamelin is definitely inferior to the three Korean players in terms of strength, and at the beginning of the game, he led the skater for a while and consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, in the second half of the game, Hamelin was unable to continue. Being far away from the three South Korean players, this allowed him to escape a series of collision accidents. Since he was a bit behind, Hamelin had enough space to dodge, so he surpassed the three in one fell swoop. South Korean players came to the second position.

There were two laps left before the end of the race. At this time, the three South Korean players collided together, basically announcing that the Korean team's race ended early.

...

In South Korea, the audience in front of the TV looked frustrated. It is a gratifying thing that all three Korean players have entered the final, but now the three of them have bumped into each other, which is tantamount to killing each other.

"What the hell is Lee Jung-soo doing? He made a mistake and fell at such a critical moment! It's nothing more than a mistake and a fall, and it also caused Li Haoxi and Sung Shibaek to fall together!"

"It's all Li Zhengzhu's fault. Why did he foul Zhang Guan? As a result, Zhang Guan was fine, but he made a mistake. He didn't do anything at first. If we finished the game like this, we could at least win the silver and bronze medals. Now we can Well, the Canadians have overtaken us, and we lost the silver medal!"

"This is a big mistake made by player Lee Jung-soo, he made us lose a silver medal!"

Many Korean viewers in front of the TV started to blame Lee Jung-soo instead. They blamed Lee Jung-soo for the serial collisions. At this time, they had forgotten that just a few seconds ago, many of them had Think of Lee Jung-soo as a national hero.

"The South Korean team is finished! Hamelin is too far behind, and it is impossible to catch up with Zhang Guan. It seems that the championship of this game has lost suspense! We can already celebrate Zhang Guan's gold in advance."

"Do you think Zhang Guan can break the world record of 1000 meters short track speed skating?"

"The world record for 1000m short track speed skating? How much is that?"

"Remember it is 1 minute 23 seconds 454!"

Many people began to pay attention to the time display on the sidelines.

With the last lap left before the finish line, Zhang Guan had already fully entered the sprint state. Coach Li Bing, who was watching the game from the sidelines, kept cheering for Zhang Guan.

1 minute 19 seconds, 1 minute 20 seconds, 1 minute 21 seconds, the time is getting closer and closer to the world record of short track speed skating 1000 meters, and Zhang Guan is getting closer and closer to the finish line.

Finally, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line.

The timer on the sidelines was finally fixed at 1:22.450.

"World record, Zhang Guan broke the men's 1000m short track speed skating world record, and Zhang Guan broke another world record! We have all seen that Zhang Guan encountered some external factors in the competition, but this is not the slightest It didn't affect his final result, but he still managed to break the world record! Congratulations to Zhang Guan, another perfect victory and another record-breaking victory!"

"As of now, there have been four gold medals in short track speed skating, all of which have been won by the Chinese team, but the South Korean team, the strongest in the world, has not won a single gold medal in this event. It seems that this Winter Olympics After the meeting is over, the Korean team's short track speed skating world's number one position will be lost!"

...

In the short track speed skating men's 1000m final, Zhang Guan won the championship with a world record-breaking result, and Hamelin of the Canadian team won the silver medal. Three South Korean players collided in the competition and completed the next competition after getting up again .

Li Zhengzhu was disqualified from the competition due to intentional fouls and was suspended. He will miss the next men's 5,000-meter relay.

At the same time, the referee observed the video after the game and found that Cheng Shibai also fouled Zhang Guan, so the result was also cancelled. It's just that Cheng Shibai's situation is not as bad as Li Zhengzhu, so he was not suspended.

Li Haoxi, as the only innocent member of the Korean team, was not disqualified, so he picked up a bronze medal.

However, after the game, the game process caused an uproar. Li Zhengzhu's intentional foul on Zhang Guan caused extensive discussions around the world.

Speaking of which, foul tactics are also a part of the game. There are such things as foul tactics in many sports. However, Li Zhengzhu's intentional foul against Zhang Guan made many people think that Li Zhengzhu was too unsportsmanlike. What's more important is that the South Korean team's stealing is not a loss, but it has become a joke in the sports world.

In sports, victory over strength is obviously the most convincing, such as table tennis in China or basketball in the United States, even if the opponent loses, there will be a sense of glory despite defeat, and even many athletes I feel that it is an honor and a valuable experience to be able to play against the strongest in the world. For example, playing table tennis, winning a game against the Chinese team can make foreign players feel very excited, and they can even brag for a long time; another example is playing basketball, losing 20 to 30 points to the American Dream Team is not shameful, but it proves I have first-class strength.

Winning the game by playing dirty tricks, once or twice is enough, if it is always like this, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism. After all, competitive sports is a sport that depends on strength, especially racing sports, a sport that depends on the development of limbs to win. If you have to compare your IQ with others, it will naturally become an alternative.

And if the strength is already superior, and at the same time playing dirty tricks for the sake of victory, it will really be looked down upon. This is obviously the case of the South Korean team. They have advantages in strength, but they often play tricks in the game. Therefore, in many games, although the opponent loses, they are not convinced. In this regard, it is not just the Chinese team that has suffered. Teams such as the United States, Canada, Italy, etc. have all suffered from the South Korean team.

So after Li Zhengzhu's intentional foul happened, many short track speed skaters spoke out one after another.

The first to stand up to speak, but the American player Bevor, he said in an interview with reporters that he was often harassed by fouls from the South Korean team during the game, and most of the time the South Korean team's fouls were very hidden, even if they were reported to the referee after the game. Complaints have no effect.

Subsequently, Italian player Fontana, Canadian player Greg, French player Bouvier and others also spoke out one after another, saying that they were often fouled by the South Korean team in the game.

All of a sudden, the South Korean team's dirty tricks in the competition were quickly hyped up by the media, especially when those athletes stepped forward to condemn one after another, the South Korean short track speed skating team became a lack of sportsmanship.

The so-called high places are too cold, if the Korean team is only an ordinary team in short track speed skating, there will not be so many condemnations and bad reviews, but the Korean team is the number one team in the world, even if it is just a little stain , will be used for infinite amplification.

And in this matter, sometimes the South Korean team's approach is really too "extinct". For example, when three athletes enter the final at the same time, even though the gold medal is already as solid as Mount Tai, it is difficult for the South Korean team to play some dirty tricks in order to win the gold, silver and bronze medals. For many European and American athletes, it is not easy to enter the finals. They also know that they will not get the gold medal. A bronze medal is also a very good consolation prize. In the end, the consolation prize was taken away by others. How could they possibly not angry. But what happened to Lee Jung-soo now just gave other athletes a chance to make use of the problem, or it became the fuse to ignite the explosives.

...

On the training ground, coach Cui Guangfu looked very tired with big dark circles under his eyes.

Coach Cui Guangfu stayed up all night yesterday, losing two gold medals in a row, which has made his coaching position unstable. A short track speed skating coach who cannot lead the Korean team to gold has lost the value of existence.

What's more, the international public opinion in the past two days is very unfavorable to the South Korean team, which makes Cui Guangfu feel unprecedented pressure. Cui Guangfu even heard that the South Korean ice skating federation has already begun to consider letting himself go out of class and replace someone else as the head coach of short track speed skating.

"No, I can't sit still! The short track speed skating event has just been halfway through, and there are still four gold medals to be won, and there are also two relay gold medals for men and women. Our overall strength is superior, so the two relay races A gold medal is determined to be won. The women's short track speed skating 1000m gold medal may be a little hanging. The Chinese team is very strong in this event, but in the men's short track speed skating 500m event, we are still confident. Champion, we still have Sheng Xibei!"

While thinking about it, coach Cui Guangfu looked at a young man on the training ground. His name is Sheng Xibei, he is the main player of the Korean men's short track speed skating 500 meters, and he is also the world record holder of this event!

At the Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup held in Salt Lake City in 2008, Sheng Xibei broke the men's short track speed skating 500-meter world record with a time of 41.051 seconds. Only the 23-year-old Sheng Xibei has just entered the peak period of athletes, so Sheng Xibei can definitely be called the strongest fighter in the 500-meter event.

And this time, Sheng Xibei's goal is not only to win a 500-meter short track speed skating Winter Olympic champion, but also to break his own world record again. For this goal, he even gave up participating in the relay race, so that he can better focus on the 500-meter race.

Coach Cui waved his hand and called Sheng Xibei to him.

"We lost two gold medals in the 1000m and 1500m, and now our Republic of Korea's hope of winning the gold rests on you!" Coach Cui continued: "In the 500m event, the strength of the Canadian and American teams They are all very strong. In addition, you must have seen Zhang Guan’s sudden rise. He has broken two world records in the 1000m and 1500m in a row, so he is very likely to break the world record in the 500m! According to the prediction before the game, The Canadian team may occupy a spot in the final, and Zhang Guan will also occupy a spot in the final, so in the final, you may not get the support of your teammates, and you can only rely on yourself."

A confident smile appeared on Sheng Xibei's face: "Coach, don't forget that I hold the world record of 500 meters, and I have broken this world record more than once in practice! For me, the skating It is not difficult to score within 41 seconds. Coach, you just wait and see the show. I am sure about this gold medal, and it is a record-breaking championship! I will let the world know that there are more than one who can break the record and win the championship. Crown alone, short track speed skating, is still the world of our Republic of Korea!"
