Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 209 Follow and run?big fish caught

At 22:05 Doha time, the temperature seems to have dropped a bit.

However, the humid heat of the tropical desert climate and the enthusiasm of the audience are intertwined, making the whole stadium still like a boiling kettle.

The third group of the men's 800m semi-final is about to start.

When Liu Ming appeared in everyone's field of vision, it immediately caused a huge shock on the scene. Even those who were about to go to the bathroom sat back again, for fear of missing the game.

For the audience, the absence of two superstars David Rudisha and Niel Amos in the project is a pity.

But Liu Ming's time of 1:42 in the preliminaries was really astonishing.

Not only broke the Asian record, but also set a new record for the Centennial World Championships!
no doubt.

At this moment, Liu Ming has become another super giant with the same reputation as Rudisha and Amos.

Spending money to watch the game is nothing more than a few big-name players.

Now that Liu Ming is about to make his debut, this game is of course not to be missed.

Although Liu Ming just participated in the final of the men's triple jump, he may have consumed some energy.

But after yesterday's four matches in one day, and a record of double gold in one day.

He has clearly told everyone with his strength-his physical strength reserve is enough to use the word "BT" to describe it.

What's more, with the popularity of Chinese martial arts.

Now any unreasonable, any unscientific, seems to have become a basic practice for Liu Ming.

In the eyes of Wai Guoren, Huaxia Guoshu has always been a demonized image.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the lightning five consecutive whips to be just right in foreign countries.

Liu Ming, who was in the fourth lane, looked around at the participating athletes.

The overall strength of the third group is still very strong.

For example, two athletes from Kenya, Rotik and Collier.

Among them, Rothick's personal best time is 1:42.

In the past few years, although his performance in important games was not satisfactory, the overall trend is getting better.

Fifth in the Capital World Championships and fourth in the Rio Olympics can be regarded as one step at a time.

In this World Championships, he is a popular figure in the pre-match medal prediction.

Another Collier's performance is also top-notch, and his best time in the past three years can run within 3 minute 1 seconds 43.

My personal PB is 18:1 in 42. Although this result is short-lived, the past two years have been weak.

But it is worth mentioning that his best time in the 400m was 44 seconds, and he has the highest speed among all the 21m runners in this year except Liu Ming.

In addition, in addition to the French player Bosai, the champion of the last World Championships, this group also has a strong player from Bosnia and Herzegovina-Tuka.

Unlike Bosai, which has performed poorly in the past two years, although Tuka is a 30-year-old veteran this year, no one will underestimate the Olympic 800m bronze medalist.

过去两年他的最好成绩虽然跟博赛一样都在1分44秒开外，可本次预赛中他却跑出了1分43秒01的惊人成绩。

This is not far from his personal PB of 1:42 five years ago.

People can't help but wonder whether he will use this wave of World Championships to return to the top!

Today's pre-match atmosphere is very different from yesterday's.

Before yesterday's 800-meter preliminaries, Liu Ming's fame was more important than his strength, regardless of whether the audience was a player or a coach.

However, Liu Ming took the lead in the race yesterday, which surprised people. When the time of 1:42 came out, the contestants and coaches felt hopeless and powerless.

So in today's 800m semi-finals, all the players understand.

Under the premise that the number of places to advance to the final is limited, everyone is facing the embarrassing situation of fighting to the death.

The semi-finals are divided into three groups, and the top two in each group plus the two best scores will advance.

And in this group, Liu Ming will definitely take the first place without hesitation.

Then there is only one place left for direct promotion.

Typical monks have more meat and less meat.

So whether it was Kenya's Rotik and Kollier or Bosnia and Herzegovina's Tuka, even other participating athletes could not help but silently clenched their fists.

The contestants quickly completed their preparations and stood on the starting line one after another.

"Set..."

The starter raises the starting pistol and pulls the trigger.

With a gunshot, the game officially began.

The first 100 meters are run in lanes, so the runners don't have to worry about grabbing lanes.

But from the perspective of tactical selection, if you want to occupy a better position in the back, running a little faster in lanes is a good choice.

"Look, Collier!"

"Collier's speed is very fast, is he going to compete with Liu Ming for the leading position?"

Some people have noticed that Collier's speed is indeed faster than other players, and he is indeed the first to cross the breakline, and then quickly moved to the innermost track, and began to enter the leading state.

After the subsequent players crossed the grab line, they also began to change lanes.

The 800-meter contestants are absolutely ferocious in grabbing positions.

Because there are only two laps in the whole race, excluding the starting, grabbing lanes and crossing the line, the real distance to follow in a large group is only more than 400 meters.

Therefore, it is very important to occupy a good position when merging.

"Look, Rotik made a mistake!"

I saw that Rotick hesitated a little while changing lanes, and then was blocked by Eagle Country player Langford, but he had to follow the last position.

The audience at the scene immediately burst into exclamation.

Rotik is one of the favorites to win the 800-meter event at this year's World Championships. Even though Liu Ming has shown superb hard power, it still hasn't affected everyone's continued optimism about him.

Many people think that he will be the well-deserved 800-meter elder brother of the Kenyan delegation after David Rudisha's injury.

However, this high-profile player actually made a mistake at the beginning of the game and was stuck in the last position.

At the end of the 200 meters, the players all completed the lane change.

At this time, the physical strength of the athletes is relatively sufficient, and they are relatively close to each other, and then the athletes enter the curve.

At the moment of entering the corner, Collier, who was leading the race, started to speed up.

"Collier has sped up again! He's faster than Liu Ming, and he's starting to lead!"

"Could it be that he wants to follow Liu Ming's tactics yesterday and lead the race all the way to the finish line?"

"But this is too fast! Faster than Liu Ming yesterday!"

Everyone present thought of Liu Ming from yesterday.

In yesterday's 800-meter preliminaries, Liu Ming took the lead from the very beginning, using a higher speed throughout.

Judging from the results, Liu Ming's tactic yesterday was very successful.

He not only broke the Asian record and competition record, but also created a personal best result, which can be called a textbook case of middle-distance running.

In yesterday's competition, after Liu Ming increased his speed, the players did not keep up.

They thought that Liu Ming was using a gambling running method, so when he crossed the line at the end, Liu Ming even led No. 230 meters by more than [-] meters.

With such a big gap, it is already too late for others to catch up.

Therefore, in today's 800-meter semi-final, when Collier chose to speed up again, whether it was the contestants, coaches from various countries or the audience, they all thought that Collier was using the same tactics as Liu Ming yesterday.

"Catch up and fight with them!"

Bosai, currently in third place in the group, responded first.

He speeded up and kept up with Collier and Liu Ming.

Subsequently, the fourth Tuka also made the same choice.

Only Rotick, who was at the bottom, only increased his speed slightly, and seemed to be reluctant to follow.

But Rotick was the last athlete, and obviously none of the players in front would pay attention to his movements.

"The tactic was successful! Miraculous Liu also chose to follow, and we caught a big fish!"

Seeing this scene, the Kenyan male coach watching the game from the stands was shaking his hands with excitement.
