The game started!
Powell's starting was very good, the starting reaction time was only 0.142 seconds, while his fellow Dwight Thomas' starting was very poor, the starting reaction time exceeded 0.18 seconds.
Zhang Guan's starting can only be said to be quite satisfactory, 0.159 seconds, slower than Kim Collins, Jason Gardner, and Obik Viru, and the defending champion Maurice Greene's starting speed is similar to that of Zhang Guan, 0.158 seconds.
The athlete started to accelerate.
After the start, Greene found that Zhang Guan was keeping pace with himself, which was unacceptable to Greene, so he began to accelerate with all his strength, hoping to gain a leading advantage and leave Zhang Guan behind.
At the same time, Kim Collins also began to desperately, the opponents are very strong, if they do not desperately come up, they will be eliminated.
Another player who sprinted with full strength was the Englishman, Jason Gardner. He is also a famous track and field athlete, but he is 31 years old this year, and his strength has begun to decline. At his current level, this group also does not have an advantage, and the United Kingdom is only left in the 100-meter sprint. For the sake of Britain's face, he has to work hard to reach the finals.
The performance of Collins and Gardner immediately increased Powell's pressure, and in addition to the obsessive Portuguese Obik Viru, Powell made an instant judgment, it must be faster, otherwise, it is very likely he will be eliminated.
Obik Viru squinted his eyes and glanced at the other athletes. He said to himself: "This is the semifinals. Why did you raise the speed so high as soon as you came up? Powell spent so much energy in the semifinals. Is this the final run? I can't be the same as Powell, as long as I can stabilize my position and enter the final. "
At the next moment, both figures caught up with Obik Viru at the same time.
"What's the matter? Two came all at once! This is the semi-finals!" Obik Viru's stunning effort, the two have already surpassed Obik Viru.
"It's Maurice Greene! He also runs so fast! The other is that Chinese! Is he as fast as Maurice Greene?"
Obik Viru was shocked. He was not sure if he could beat Greene. Naturally, he was not able to beat the Chinese who were as fast as Greene. In a flash, he fell from second to the edge of fourth.
"What's going on? How did this semifinal run feel like the finals! What happened to everyone? Is it chicken blood! I'm going to be eliminated if I don't hurry." Obik Viru also showed his ability to run.
On the sidelines, Crawford and Gatlin who were watching were very happy, and they wanted this effect. From the current situation, the semifinals will consume a lot of Maurice Greene's stamina, and Greene has already fallen into a disadvantage before the finals have begun.
Forty meters later, Ghanaian Mills and another Jamaican Thomas have dropped behind, but the competition is more intense. Kim Collins and Jason Gardner are desperately chasing Obik Viru, the gap between them is not big, and the forefront is Powell, Greene, and Zhang Guan, which is difficult to visually distinguish the gap between the three.
Although Morris Green's emotional intelligence is not high, his sports IQ is not lacking at all. He has found that Zhang Guan's speed is not worse than his own, so much hard work, it is difficult to distinguish the victory before the finish line.
"I'm the world champion! I can't lose to him!" Greene's anger has gradually disappeared, replaced by the desire for victory.
"Crazy! Two lunatics! This is only the semi-finals, why should you work so hard! This isn't the finals running? Will, you just run one run, what's the point of the semi-final contest?" Powell cursed in his heart.
Powell glanced behind and found that the fourth-ranked Portuguese Obik Viru had fallen behind by a large amount, but it just happened to suppress Corinth and Gardner tightly. At this time, Powell realized that Obik Viru has started to pull back.
"Anyway, the top four advanced to the next round. I should keep my strength and not fight with the two lunatics. After a while in the finals I will have a lot of energy, this is the right way." Powell thought of this, and the speed gradually slowed down. With the speed of Powell, Zhang Guan and Greene instantly exceeded Powell and took the lead.
Originally, the three of them were in parallel, and with Powell falling behind, the enthusiasm on the field was instantly ignited.
Audiences who are willing to go to the scene to watch the game are still aware of the goods. In the first group of the previous semifinals, the athletes did not try their best. The kind of coping with the negative state of the game obviously cannot conquer the appetite of the audience. In the second group of the semifinals, at least two athletes are desperately competing for the first, and they are also the strongest two in this group.
The wonderful matchup is what the audience expects. Since the athletes do not care about their physical strength, the audience on the scene will not care about their cheers and applause.
After 70 meters, the two still did not open a gap.
Zhang Guan can feel the pressure brought by him by Greene. He even vaguely feels that he may be left behind at any time in this contest. Zhang Guan can feel that Greene's strength may be better than his own now.
"This what you call talent!" Zhang Guan sighed secretly.
For professional athletes, talent is far more important than hard work. Everyone who can become a professional athlete works hard enough, and everyone will sweat enough sweat on the training ground, but not everyone has a strong enough talent.
Maurice Greene is the most talented athlete in the world. He has unparalleled talent.
Zhang Guan knows that he doesn't have any talents. Without this system and sprint skills, his true speed is simply not qualified to be an athlete, but this system is exactly the source of all his confidence.
"Anyway, I have the strength to restore from the potion, let's fight to the end today!" Zhang Guan's eyes flashed a bit, his speed did not slow down, and he still sprinted forward desperately.
...
Yu Gui, who was watching from a distance, clenched his fists. Although he hoped that Zhang Guan could defeat Maurice Greene, but his reason told him that this was only a semi-final, Zhang Guan should not be so desperate.
"Slower, slower! Now that you're running out of strength, what about the finals? Slow down quickly!" Yu Gui shouted unceasingly, while the kings of the court were still sprinting with full strength.
Not far away, the coach of the United States team is also anxious. Maurice Greene is fighting too hard. If his stamina is consumed too much in the semifinals, in the finals, he will certainly not run too good speed.
"What is Greene doing? This is only the semi-finals. If you lose, you can still advance to the finals. The final is the most important. How do you run in the finals if you run out of energy? If you run like this, this gold medal will give you a hand! Fortunately, there are Crawford and Gatlin. This gold medal is still ours for the US team." The U.S. coach suddenly turned to look at Crawford and Gatlin but found that the two men looked proud.
"Huh? If Greene was left behind, the two guys would benefit the most. It shouldn't be the two guys who are the mastermind behind this!" The American coach frowned.
Coaches are naturally aware of the fierce internal competition among American team athletes, but American team athletes are big names, and big-name athletes are also against the coach, so the competition between athletes, the coach did not interfere too much. Moreover, Maurice Greene's arrogant personality is also very unpleasant to the coach. At this moment, the coach's heart has raised inexplicable gloating.
...
On the field, the athletes were close to the finish line, but Maurice Greene began to struggle.
"This is the semi-final, there is no need to run so desperately, so running will consume too much physical strength, and the final will be very unfavorable. Should I be a little slower and leave more physical strength for the final." After hesitating, he immediately rejected the idea.
"No, I have mocked Crawford before. I mocked that he can't run a Chinese. If I lose to this Chinese, then Crawford will mock me. I will be embarrassed by then! How can this damn Chinese run so fast! "
Greene thought of how Crawford brought that newspaper in the morning and suddenly realized that he seemed to be fooled. Crawford sent the newspaper not to hit himself, but to make himself fight hard with Zhang Guan, so he could take advantage of the fisherman.
"Damn Crawford! But what that about? I'm Maurice Greene. I'm the strongest sprinter in the world. I won't lose!"
With the finish line in sight, Greene can't give up. He is a world champion and he wants to maintain his dignity.
Morris Green did not give up.
Zhang Guan, naturally will not give up.
Although Zhang Guan is not a world champion, he is an athlete. The finish line is already in sight. The competitors are beside him. Of course, he has to fight back to the first position without hesitation. This is the dignity of an athlete!
The two continued to move side by side, the two made the line-crossing action at the same time, and the two crossed the finish line at the same time!
"Cross-line!"
"Who crosses the line first?"
"Who is faster?"
The time stayed at 9.83 seconds. Everyone's attention is focused on that side
On the big timing card.
"The first place is 9 seconds 83, who is it?" Yu Gui looked at the scoreboard and shouted excitedly: "It is Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan is 9 seconds 83!"
At the same time, Director Ma next to him shouted in disappointment: "Greene, 9 seconds 83!"
At the next moment, the two realized at the same time that Zhang Guan and Green made the same results, both 9.83 seconds!
There was also an uproar in the auditorium. Then everyone looked forward to the end expectantly, waiting for the final judgment of the referee.
