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

Chapter 45 The relay race, the curtain finally opened
For most track and field fans in China, today is definitely a day worthy of firecrackers!
The news came yesterday that the track and field athletes of the national team were in Doha.

Not only did Liu Ming run the 9-meter race in 71 seconds against the wind.

In the rematch, he even broke the Asian record set by him in 9 seconds!

The limelight is instantly unparalleled!
It even overshadowed the women's javelin and shot put gold medals on the first day!

Dongguo netizens have always been a generous group.

With such impressive results, everyone has a little more tolerance for Liu Ming's pre-match arrogance.

Of course!
To the delight of the track and field fans, Ryota Yamagata, the No. 4 100-meter jumper in the Neon Country, sprained his ankle during the race, so he is bound to be unable to participate in the [-]×[-]-meter race!

Relatively speaking, the chances of the Dongguo men's team successfully reclaiming their respect in the next game will increase greatly!

Well known.

Due to historical reasons, the national feelings of the two countries have never been harmonious.

And in the whole of Asia, Dongguo and Nihong are undoubtedly rivals in the 100-meter event and even the four-by-[-]-meter relay event!
Fortunately for the former, the Sufei people have risen strongly in recent years.

Although the two countries have occasional victories, Nihong also has to admit that Dongguo's [-]-meter strength, especially Su Feiren's strength has reached a world-class level.

The latter's four-by-one-hundred project is fundamentally different from the former situation where the strengths of the two countries have been equal and indistinguishable for many years.

Even the gap is obvious.

In the world rankings with the best results, Nihong is a relay powerhouse with three-dimensional views, while Dongguo can only be ranked ninth or tenth at the end of the crane.

That doesn't count!

In recent years, the gap between the two teams has become wider and wider.

After experiencing a brief period of glory, the Dongguo team has a weak lineup, and its strength has declined. In the World Series, it even needs to struggle to enter the finals.

But the Neon team has long been recognized as the world's top team on an equal footing with Jamaica, the United States, and the Eagles.

The strength gap is still second.

The most impressive thing was the Rio Olympics. At that time, the Dongguo men's team was at its peak and played very well in the preliminaries.

They not only directly advanced to the final with the second place in the group, but also broke the original Asian record of 37 with a time of 82.

After the preliminaries, the members of the Dongguo men's team who were interviewed were very excited.

They are quite satisfied with this best result and said they will work harder in the final.

However, a dramatic scene happened soon. Before the Dongguo team's interview was over, the preliminaries of the group that Nehong was in also started.

Immediately afterwards, Neon broke the Asian record again with a time of 37 seconds.

In other words.

The Asian record created by the Dongguo men's team only lasted for 1 minute, and was broken by the Neon Country with an absolute advantage of 0 seconds.

In the ensuing finals, the Dongguo team performed abnormally and failed to achieve another glory, but the Nihong team won the runner-up with a time of 37 seconds, breaking the Asian record for the third time.

This made the members of the Dongguo men's team extremely frustrated, and it also made the Dongguo netizens unable to raise their heads for many years under the ridicule of the neon netizens.

This is how the relationship between the two countries in the track and field relay field was formed!
But it's different now.

Ryota Yamagata, who is No.1 of Neon, was absent due to injury, and Liu Ming, who kept bringing surprises to everyone, joined Dongguo.

On the surface, at least there is a fight!
Although the relay race is not as simple as the sum of the strengths of four players, the handover technique, lineup running-in and game tactics are also important indicators of winning or losing!
But there is no doubt that the men's 4x100m relay race is destined to be a good show!

……

According to the schedule.

Liu Ming will compete in the preliminaries of the 4 x 100-meter relay in the morning, and in the semi-finals of the men's [-]-meter sprint in the afternoon.

A total of 4 countries (regions) signed up for the 100x16m relay race, and the top eight with a total score entered the final.

In this project, the neon team has an absolute advantage in the whole of Asia.

Dongguo, Indonesia and Qatar are considered the second echelon.

Thailand, Kazakhstan, and Bahrain are rising stars in this project.

Countries such as India and the Philippines are purely here to make up the numbers.

Since the top eight in the total score advance, the group preliminaries are not very important.

But very coincidentally, the Dongguo team and the Nihong team were divided into a group in the preliminaries.

Coupled with the inherent heat of the men's four by 100 meter event——

If the men's 100-meter final is a "flying man battle", then the men's 4x100-meter relay can be said to be a "flying man army battle".

If the men's 100m is the "pearl in the crown", then the men's 4x100m relay can be called a "necklace of pearls".

Therefore, the stands are already full of spectators who came to watch the match!

Of course, this is also Liu Ming's debut in the [-]x[-] event.

It also made this game attract the attention of many media.

On the track, Liu Ming stood there unmoved!
He was originally a contestant, and the more lively the scene was, the more he could enter the state of performance.

What's more, there is a system behind him.

Liu Ming, who stood on the track, has long been unmatched in terms of confidence in the competition.

Among the four players of the Neon team, Ryota Yamagata was absent due to injury, and the first runner who replaced him was actually a black player.

In addition, the fourth runner like Liu Ming was actually a black man!
This made Liu Ming completely baffled.

So he approached Su Feiren and asked in a low voice: "Brother Su, isn't this the Asian Athletics Championships? Why are there two black people among the four Neon athletes?"

Su Fei looked up and said, "Mixed blood! The first runner in the neon race is Cambridge Asuka, whose father is from Jamaica. The fourth runner is Sani Brown, who is called "Neon Bolt", and his father is from Ghana."

"Don't take it lightly. Black athletes have obvious advantages in sprinting, especially the fast rhythm of kicking and the strong kicking force, which is beyond the reach of our Asian athletes."

"Having said that, Sani Brown can be regarded as a rookie who has only emerged in the past two years. But you, a person who is determined to return to track and field, have no impression of the Cambridge Birds, don't you seem a bit arrogant!"

Liu Ming coughed twice, then changed the topic quickly and sighed: "Little Nehong is really wretched. In order to improve her grades, she even set up such a eugenics plan. It's a pity that those gentle and considerate Nehong girls made a bunch of black people cheaper for nothing."

Su Feiren was amused by Liu Ming, "Haha, your mouth is bad enough!"

"But having said that, after adding up your speed, the sense of rhythm is very similar to that of the black players. Maybe you will also be on the list of the neon country's eugenics and eugenics."

"I can warn you, but you are not allowed to be a traitor. If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastards, but you must not leave seeds for them."

Liu Ming was speechless for a while, "Brother Su, I didn't expect you to be such an experienced associate professor. Have you already experienced the test of the Neon Kingdom?"
