Chapter 991 Lyles No. 1, Provoking the Audience
Because of Zhao Yun's amazing traffic, this group of players are like chicken blood, running with all their might. Usually, if the players behind feel that they can't catch up with the ones in front, they will choose to give up. Although they will not deliberately run in a fake way, they will definitely not run to the extreme.
However, what is jaw-dropping is that in the first group, there were three results under 20 seconds, and three under 20.10 seconds! Such results are so exaggerated that it is simply unbelievable.
Even the athletes from Sakurajima, which is famous for producing blockbusters, ran an astonishing 20 seconds.
After Zhao Yun finished the race, he did not leave immediately, but stood on the sidelines, watching the next two groups of games with interest. He was full of curiosity about the technical style of Lyles and wanted to get a more intuitive feeling through on-site observation. In addition, he also wanted to see how Van Niekerk, who was almost invincible in the 400m event recently, would perform in the 200m race.
The second group of contestants finally made their debut!
Commentator Yang Jian shouted excitedly: "Okay! Dear audience friends, let's look forward to the exciting competition of the second group of the men's 200m semi-finals! Now, the athletes in the second group have entered the stadium and started warming up!"
Yang Jian then introduced: "Next, let's turn our attention to the players on the field and see how they are doing."
"First, in the second lane is the famous runner Martina from the Netherlands. He not only performs well in the 100-meter event, but is also an extremely capable 200-meter runner!"
"Look at the third lane. This runner is the famous South African athlete Van Niekerk! He is the world record holder for the 400m, and he also performs very well in the 100m and 200m events."
"The player in lane four is the famous American athlete Bromell. His performance has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years!"
"The next runner in lane five is the American superstar Lyles. Not long ago, he won the 200-meter championship in Doha! He is also Zhao Yun's main competitor this time!"
"The sixth player is Xie Zhenye, one of our five tigers in the flower-growing family. After the Olympics last year, Xie Zhenye suffered an injury, which made his performance unstable. Fortunately, his injury has healed in the past few months. I hope I can see his performance later."
"The runner in lane seven is the famous American athlete, Cole. His 100m and 200m are both very good, but his 200m is slightly weaker than his 100m."
“The runner in lane eight is Jamaican Michael Donald, who specializes in the 200m and 400m. He has already put in a lot of great performances in the 400m this year.”
"The ninth contestant is Odudulu from Nigeria."
The athletes on the field were warming up to prepare for the upcoming game. During the warm-up, Lyles suddenly noticed Zhao Yun who was watching the game on the sidelines. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a provocative smile, and then he stretched out his index finger and pointed it directly at Zhao Yun.
Then, Lyles patted his chest, as if to show off his strength and confidence to Zhao Yun. The meaning of his action was obvious - let Zhao Yun watch his performance in the game later.
However, Lyles's action immediately caused boos and abuse. After all, this was the Magic City, and there were so many rich ladies who came to watch Zhao Yun's game! How could they tolerate Lyles' provocative behavior?
"Who are you?"
"You come here to provoke me, but don't you know your own weight?"
"If you have the ability, you can beat Zhao Yun in the arena first!"
Various dissatisfied voices arose one after another, and it was obvious that the audience at the scene were very angry about Lyles' behavior.
Faced with such a torrent of boos and insults, Lyles did not seem to be affected too much. He still had a smile on his face and seemed to not care about his behavior at all.
And what about Zhao Yun? He also stretched out his index finger and pointed at Lyles, then pointed his thumb down. The meaning of this action was also very clear - boy, you are just a younger brother in front of me!
Zhao Yun's tit-for-tat move immediately aroused applause from the audience.
"Man!"
"He's a monkey. I really like Zhao Yun's death."
Seeing that the time was almost up, the referee signaled the contestants to get ready.
On your marks!
preparation!
boom!
As soon as the race started, Lyles, Cole, Xie Zhenye and Bromell rushed out like arrows from a bow. Their starting reactions were extremely quick, as if they were driven by an invisible force.
After entering the acceleration phase, the speed of the four people was like a gust of wind and rain, dazzling the eyes. The distance between them was almost indistinguishable, as if they were in a life-and-death race.
However, at the edge of the curve, Lyles showed a different strategy. Other players usually choose to slow down slightly at this point to maintain their balance and stability. But Lyles continued to accelerate without hesitation, his body like lightning, drawing a perfect arc on the curve.
This move allowed Lyles to maintain his lead in the corners and he was the first to rush into the straight, with Xie Zhenye following closely in his footsteps and entering the straight just as quickly.
Lyles ran a straight line of 100 meters without slowing down. He rushed forward like a cheetah. Every step he took was full of power, and every breath he took seemed to be burning the flame of life.
Xie Zhenye followed closely behind him, only half a body length away!
Bromell was slightly behind, with a gap of one body length between him and Xie Zhenye.
After entering the straight, Van Niekerk quickly increased his speed and rushed forward like a flash of lightning, successfully overtaking other players and coming to the fourth position, almost side by side with Bromell, while Collet was slightly behind, keeping a half-body gap between them.
The last fifty meters!
When the game was coming to an end, Lyles was able to speed up again! His pace became more powerful, and every step seemed to be challenging the limit. This crazy performance made Zhao Yun standing next to him cheer for him secretly, and his admiration for him arose spontaneously.
It was this last fifty meters of acceleration that allowed Lyles to successfully create a body length gap between himself and Xie Zhenye, further expanding his lead.
In the last ten meters, Lyles gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, rushing towards the finish line like a ferocious cheetah.
19 seconds! This amazing result is not only comparable to the final champion, but also made him win the first place in the second group of the semi-final without any suspense!
Xie Zhenye won the second place with 19 seconds!
Van Niekerk finished third with 19 seconds!
