"Don't be nervous. Three of the nine people this time are Chinese. We are in our country. There is nothing to be afraid of." Su Feng said casually.
But after finishing speaking, both Zhang Paimeng and Xie Zhenye showed strong pride on their faces.
Indeed, although Xie Zhenye is a wild card in the competition, Su Feng and Zhang Peimeng have reached the level of strength.
You know, the qualifications for the Diamond League are much higher than those for the Olympic Games.
You need to be ranked in the top 20 in this event in the year, or be a new Olympic champion or world record holder to get it.
None of it is easy to achieve.
However, China has not been able to collect or even have any A-standards for the original Olympic Games. To reach this point is indeed worthy of pride for track and field people like them.
Following Su Feng, Zhang Peimeng ran the best time in history of 9.89 seconds this year, pushing his own time into 9.90 seconds.
This has given even greater hope to Chinese track and field athletes who believe that Su Feng is a once-in-a-century talent that cannot be copied.
After all, Su Feng's talent is really too high, so high that they can't even touch it when they jump.
But Zhang Peimeng is more civilian and can become the goal of people like them.
Seeing the excitement on Xie Zhenye's face, Su Feng continued: "You don't have to worry too much. This competition is just to let you adapt to the atmosphere of international competitions.
Lao Zhang and I won’t talk about our opponents this time.
Bolt didn't say anything either.
Gatlin, Powell, Lambelli, Blake, and Tyson Gay are all top players in the world.
Even if you lose to them, no one will put pressure on you. All you need to do now is to show the results of your past training.
As for the final champion, I am the one.
With me here, you don't need to feel any pressure in this regard."
Competing in your own country, especially events that are highly anticipated and anticipated.
The pressure from our own countrymen is actually the greatest.
Everyone hopes that their athletes will achieve the best results, and they will naturally be champions in track and field events.
Su Feng's statement was to tell him not to worry about these things and to focus on his own affairs.
"Okay, Brother Su, I understand. But even if my strength is not good, I still have to cherish this opportunity. I can fight every one."
"Okay, let's do our best, the three of us."
Su Feng smiled and nodded.
Even if you know you are going to lose, you still have to have the confidence to win. This is the mental quality that top track and field athletes must have. Xie Zhenye definitely meets the standard in this aspect, otherwise he would not have the same results as in his previous life.
…
"Su Feng, this guy, must be acting as a senior now, educating the younger ones."
In the box of the stadium, Liu Yuxiang and Yao Ming, who has retired as a boss, chatted while eating fruit.
Yao Ming himself was a relatively silent type, and he wasn't very familiar with Su Feng, so he just nodded and didn't say much.
However, he still looked at the direction of the corridor exit with some expectancy, and then said: "When I first saw this little boy from the United States, I knew he was not a creature of the pond.
After all, he was able to compete in the United States and win.
But my thinking at the time was still conservative.
I thought he was successful if he could become the world's top player.
Who knew that he and Bolt would suddenly be separated from the top level again! This time in our country, I am very much looking forward to his performance." Yao Ming is an honest man and did not take Liu Yuxiang's words and said directly.
own thoughts.
"Hey, don't let him hear what you said. That guy is different from you, Boss Yao. You are really deep, while that guy is boring and coquettish. If you let him hear it, he won't be able to go to heaven.
Besides, we don’t know who will win this time between him and Bolt.
Don't embarrass yourself in front of your fellow villagers." Liu Yuxiang said the last two sentences more to himself than to Su Feng.
…
"Hello, audience friends.
Welcome to our sports live broadcast room, I am the host Yang Jian.
Due to the schedule, we met Su Feng again after only seven days.
Only this time, we are no longer in another country thousands of miles away, but on our own land.
We saw that the staff were cleaning the venue, and the athletes should have already arrived in the corridor, waiting to appear.
This competition is really very interesting.
After losing to Bolt last time, how Su Feng will perform in this competition is what all of us Chinese viewers are concerned about, and even foreign viewers are also paying attention.
But for us Chinese, the attraction this time is not just that.
Because this competition will be the first time that three Chinese athletes will appear at the same time in a top event such as the International Athletics Diamond League.
Among them, Su Feng, as the champion of the London Olympics, automatically qualified for the competition.
And Zhang Paimeng is another surprise.
During the year, he pushed his ranking in the IAAF 100 meters to 19th, and ran a record time of 9.89 seconds.
This is another surprise that Chinese track and field has given us after Su Feng.
The last contestant, Xie Zhenye, is also very capable.
Although it does not meet the standards of the Diamond League, being able to participate in the competition as a wild card is also a strong reflection of the growth of our country's economic strength and international influence.
After all, the countries that can host the Diamond League are carefully selected by the IAAF. Without certain software and hardware capabilities, they are simply not qualified to apply.
Okay, we heard the cheers from the scene and the athletes have already appeared.
The first one to come out was Gatling from the United States.
In this competition, it can be said that the top 100-meter elites of mankind have all gathered together again.
In addition to Su Feng and Bolt, Gatlin, Powell, Tyson Gay, Blake, and Lambelli, who made a blockbuster appearance in the London Olympics.
These people can basically represent the peak of human speed today.
Although I only watched this kind of game once a few days ago, based on my experience, I really won’t get bored no matter how many times I watch it.
Because every time there may be a new human record, this is the charm of this kind of battle between top athletes.
Okay, we see that Su Feng is in the fifth lane and Bolt is placed in the sixth lane.
This may be due to results, or it may be a deliberate arrangement by the organizing committee to put the two most direct competitors together.
Zhang Peimeng is the second one.
Xie Zhenye, because he is a wild card player, was placed in the ninth lane."
The audience at the scene had already started waving flags and shouting, and Su Feng's name was naturally the most popular among them. This was even the only name that could be heard clearly on the field.
The audience in front of the TV, under Yang Jian's explanation, gradually entered the state of watching the game and became focused.
As for Su Feng, after looking at each other with Powell and the others, he turned his attention to Bolt.
But it was only for a short while, and then he looked at his own runway.
Suddenly, Su Feng squatted down, touched the track with one hand, then stood up, and finally did a few warm-up exercises.
All the cells in his body were activated when he walked in the corridor.
No, it should be said that it was completely activated after the Qatar game.
As soon as he walked onto the field, his energy was already highly concentrated.
"We saw Su Feng touching the track. Is this feeling the land of his motherland? Or is it some kind of inner ritual? I think this must be the question that Chinese reporters are most concerned about after the game."
Su Feng didn't have so many ideas. He just wanted to touch the land of his motherland.
After that, all he could think about was the runway in front of him and nothing else.
This is Su Feng's peak mental state! It often only appears in the largest competitions or when he encounters extremely powerful opponents.
This is also the state that all his opponents fear the most. Su Feng like this is definitely the most terrifying.
But at this time, Bolt was still praying of his own, and several others did not see this.
But Gatlin and Powell saw it, and then their hearts skipped a beat, and then they turned their heads with solemn expressions.
If they had time to think about it at this time, their only thought would probably be that Su Feng, who frightened everyone, was really back!
"On your marks!" However, the commander obviously did not give everyone too much time, and quickly issued instructions to get everyone on their feet.
