As the last competition day and the last competition event of short track speed skating, the men’s 5000-meter relay carries too much...
For the other four teams on the field, this game is a battle of honor!
Legend! Very good!
Every athlete wants to be a legend, but no one wants to be the background of a legend!
No one wants to think that when this Winter Olympics is mentioned in the future, everyone will only remember that this is Li Yuang’s battle to become a god!
Whether it is South Korea, Italy, Russia or the Canadian team, they will try their best in this game!
Especially the Korean team, which regards short track speed skating as their own territory, had "0" gold medals until the last competition day!
Fortunately, in the just-concluded women's 1500m final, Cui Minjing finally won the first gold medal for the Korean short track speed skating team in this Winter Olympics!
Save the last trace of face for the Korean short track speed skating team and Cui Guangfu!
Now the pressure is on the Korean men’s team!
In the past, it was difficult for the entire Korean short track speed skating team to return home and apologize together.
Now that the women's team has won the gold medal, if the men's team cannot win... they will definitely be placed on the pillar of shame and it will be difficult for them to stand up!
This is something that the arrogant Korean male players absolutely cannot accept!
In the previous competition of the men's team, they tried their best to prevent Li Yuang from winning the gold medal, let alone a gold medal!
In the last game, they changed their strategy and decided to give it a try!
"The Chinese players skated in a more Buddhist style on the court. After two rounds of handovers, they still did not try to surpass them."
"On the contrary, the South Korean team, which is in first place, is skating very actively! It has been in the lead from the moment the gun was fired until now!"
"It can be said that whether the single lap speed on the field can slip into 8.5 seconds depends entirely on the expression of the Korean team."
"The Korean team speeds up! This is to widen the distance between them and the Canadian team!"
Just after the two rounds of handovers were completed, the South Korean team's Li Junrui suddenly increased his speed and wanted to get rid of the Canadian team behind him!
The sudden change made everyone on the scene a little confused.
What kind of trouble is this?
The third round of handover has just begun, but the Korean team is already working hard? Can they physically hold on?
Li Junrui doesn’t care what other people think!
The Korean team must win this game! Even in South Korea, which doesn’t take kneeling seriously when winning, they don’t want to bow and apologize in front of the camera!
According to the pre-match plan, this round of acceleration will be initiated by Guo Yunqi in the third baton, and Park Janghyuk in the fourth baton will officially confirm the lead!
Just now, Li Junrui was keenly aware that Hamelin behind him was waiting for an opportunity to overtake him!
If he is overtaken by Hamelin, the pressure will be greater in the next few strokes! So Li Junrui decided to accelerate early and not give Hamelin a chance to overtake.
The experienced Hamelin has been observing Li Junrui's movements since the handover. As soon as the opponent accelerated, he kicked off the ice to follow him.
The other three teams that were caught off guard were left behind.
For a time, there was a gap in the formation on the field. The Korean team and the Canadian team were in the front, followed by the Russian, Italian, and Chinese teams.
The next three teams were not in a hurry. The game only lasted more than a dozen laps. No one believed that the Korean team would complete the rest of the game at such a speed.
The first one to notice something was wrong was Lin Xiaojun!
As a former member of the Korean team, when he saw Hwang Daehyung still pushing the speed to the maximum after taking over, he realized that things were not that simple!
When the distance between the first group and the second group on the field widened, Lin Xiaojun couldn't help shouting: "Lee, be careful of the Korean team!"
Li Yuang was also aware of the changes in the situation on the field. He was just approaching the handover area. If he increased his speed at this time, the handover would be too fast and accidents would easily occur.
Li Yuang did not raise his head, but made a fist-bumping gesture with his hands behind his back.
Lin Xiaojun, who was on the line, suddenly understood. He quickly skated a few steps and followed the three-stick members of the other two teams to the outside of the line to wait for the handover.
Almost at the same time, Li Yuang also came to the handover area!
With the help of Li Yuang's push, Lin Xiaojun continuously added more swords to directly surpass the Russian and Italian teams and reach the third position!
"pretty!"
"Team China! Come on!"
"Come on! Go straight to the first place!"
"..."
The handover between Lin Xiaojun and Li Yuang was a textbook one, which attracted bursts of cheers from the audience on the sidelines!
At this moment, the depression caused by the defeat in the women's 1500 meters and the emotions of anticipation after the start were instantly released! They hope to see the Chinese team fight back and rush directly to the first place!
[The Chinese team also started sprinting? 】
The cheers from the audience on the sidelines immediately caught Guo Runqi's attention.
He knew very well that only the host Chinese team could make the audience so excited!
Guo Runqi, who had already increased his speed, raised his heart and kicked on the ice to accelerate! He directly increased his speed to the limit!
The problem is given to the other four teams!
To follow? Or not to follow?
With... When you are physically exhausted in the last few laps of the game, the risks on the field will inevitably increase greatly.
If you don’t follow...I’m afraid the Korean team will win the game directly!
"The Korean team is working hard!"
The same thought came to the minds of the coaches who were watching the game on the sidelines!
They expected that the Korean team would go all out in this game, and even specially arranged tactics to guard against the Korean team's small moves.
But no one expected that the Korean team’s strategy for this game was to focus on physical fitness!
wrong!
The race is not even halfway through, and the speed is stretched to the limit at this time. I am afraid that in the end, it is not physical fitness but willpower that matters!
On the court, Xiao Lin was in a dilemma and turned to look in the direction of the Chinese coaching staff, waiting for Jin Shantai's instructions.
For the 45-lap men's 5,000-meter relay, none of the four players on the field could take into account the overall situation.
When faced with tactical choices, they need the head coach on the sidelines to make decisions for them!
It's a pity that Jin Shantai did not give instructions to Lin Xiaojun immediately.
After all, the South Korean team's tactics in the last game were indeed unlike their previous style, which caught Kim Suntae a bit off guard.
Jin Shantai's mind quickly flashed through the strength comparison of the players on the field, as well as the physical reserves of the four players of the Chinese team.
He quickly came to the conclusion: The Korean team could not survive until the end! The game still depends on the final sprint!
And the Chinese team’s sprint stick is the strongest!
After thinking about this, Jin Shantae made a gesture of pressing down with both hands. He signaled Lin Xiaojun to stay steady and proceed according to the plan laid out before the game.
"Lin Yishuai! Charge!"
Lin Xiaojun, who was outside the line, was cornering and did not see Kim Sundae's instructions.
When he came out of the corner and was about to look towards Jin Shantai, he heard Li Yuang's voice on the line.
Lin Xiaojun had no doubt that he was there. After exiting the corner, he accelerated by sliding outside to maximize his speed and ran towards the Canadian team!
On the sidelines, Jin Shantai looked at Li Yuang in surprise.
He didn't know why Li Yuang did this. He only knew that Li Yuang on the line saw his gesture.
