Chapter 25

In order to mobilize the audience's atmosphere, Hu Kai, the first seed player of the 100-meter competition, was arranged to make his debut in the finale of the preliminaries.

The players in the same group as Hu Kai are more unlucky, and basically they can only win one of the 8 best second places.

The seed player who appeared in the first group of the preliminaries was Wen Yongyi, a local athlete from Guangdong Province. He was also deliberately arranged by the organizing committee to create an atmosphere for the audience to watch the game.

There is a TV connected to a live broadcast device in the lounge. Although it is not a live broadcast on the TV station, the athletes in the lounge can see the live broadcast of the live competition.

When the on-site commentator introduced that Wen Yongyi was an athlete in South Guangdong Province, warm applause and cheers broke out on the scene.

Obviously, most of the audiences who are locals in Yangcheng have received the greatest support for local contestant Wen Yongyi.

In the end, Wen Yongyi lived up to expectations and was far ahead since the start. He advanced easily at his home court with a time of 10.44 seconds, while the second place didn't even run in for 10.6 seconds.

However, Zhang Huasong had no impression of Wen Yongyi. He had vaguely heard of it, but he couldn't remember it.

Li Yanghong is more professional than Zhang Huasong, and he introduced Wen Yongyi's situation to Zhang Huasong.

It turns out that Wen Yongyi is actually the second person in China to run sprinting. He broke the domestic record of 60-meter sprinting three times and won the 100-meter championship of the Asian College Student Track and Field Championships. He has been competing with Hu Kai from China to Asian arenas. He is currently the two strongest sprinting players in China.

Even for this Universiade, some media have already put forward the slogan of Wen Yongyi and Hu Kai competing for hegemony in the north and south.

According to Li Yanghong, Wen Yongyi's strength is actually similar to Hu Kai, but he is not lucky enough to defeat Hu Kai in the past two years. Therefore, he is much worse than Hu Kai in fame.

After listening to Li Yanghong's introduction to Wen Yongyi, Zhang Huasong was also sighing.

The situation of Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi perfectly interprets the difference between the champion and the runner-up.

According to Li Yanghong, the two of them have similar strengths. Even if there is a little difference, it may only be 0:00 seconds.

However, it was this gap between zero points and a few seconds and the on-the-spot performance that the two finally gained fame and income were far different.

I think many ordinary people are like Zhang Huasong, who only knows the glasses Hu Kai, but few people know Wen Yongyi.

It may be dozens of times the difference in celebrity popularity, appearance fees, and advertising endorsement revenue. It can be said that it is a slight difference!

Seeing this situation, Zhang Huasong made up his mind that as long as he participated in the competition, he had to win the championship. Otherwise, no matter how many runner-ups were, no one would remember you.

After the first group of competitions, as time passed, the athletes were called out from the lounge one by one. After a few minutes, one person smiled and seven people came back in depression.

The smiling man naturally advanced directly after running first place. In addition to the second place, the other 7 people had a chance to rank, and the other 6 people were eliminated directly.

Perhaps it was God's will that Zhang Huasong appeared in the 8th group, while Lu Yongtao happened to appear in the 7th group.

Lu Yongtao looked at Zhang Huasong confidently, and then went out with the other seven contestants.

After waiting for a few minutes, the 7th Group of the 100-meter preliminaries officially began.

With the starter's gunshot, Lu Yongtao took out his best condition, took the lead and sprinted with all his strength.

He knew that his strength was not the best in the national Games, and he dared not keep his strength in the preliminaries like Wen Yongyi, for fear that he would not even be able to make it through the preliminaries by accident.

What's more, he was betting with Zhang Huasong. The 1,000 yuan gambling was not a small number for him.

Therefore, from the beginning of the preliminary round, Lu Yongtao used all his strength.

The final result did not disappoint him either.

Lu Yongtao won the first place in the 7th group of the preliminaries with a time of 10.49 seconds, advanced directly, and ran into 10.50 seconds in the official competition for the first time.

Lu Yongtao felt very satisfied, so he went to the sidelines to hug Kang Yijia and celebrated it, and then returned to the lounge arrogantly.

At this time, the eighth group players where Zhang Huasong was also leaving the lounge at the hello of the staff and walked towards the field outside. Zhang Huasong and Lu Yongtao happened to pass by.

Lu Yongtao smiled at Zhang Huasong and said, "I ran for 10.49 seconds and advanced directly. 1,000 yuan, I hope you don't miss the debt."

Zhang Huasong laughed and shook his head and said, "It's only 10.49 seconds? It's a long way off. I hope you don't want to blame the debt."

Then, he ignored Lu Yongtao and followed the other seven players in Group 8 to leave the lounge and came to the 100-meter field outside.

Lu Yongtao snorted, found a seat to sit down, watched TV, and waited for the live broadcast of Zhang Huasong's game.

In the stands outside, Kang Yijia also looked at Zhang Huasong who appeared on the court with a sneer.

She knew that Zhang Huasong's family was not in good condition and was somewhat suspicious about whether Zhang Huasong could take out a 1,000 yuan gambling fee.

"It's really a shame to compete with Yongtao in a 100-meter sprint. It depends on whether you have any money to take it out if you lose later!" Kang Yijia thought to herself.

On the field, the players in Group 8 were all unknown. Except for the event organizing committee, no one knew that Zhang Huasong had signed up as a national sportsman.

Therefore, several other players thought they still had a chance and tried their best to compete for a place to advance to the semi-finals.

The audience in the stands gradually calmed down after experiencing the hot spots between Wen Yongyi and the previous groups of contestants.

Except for the hundreds of spectators in the stands closest to the 100-meter stadium, everyone else turned their attention to other places on the sports field and watched the long jump, high jump and shot put matches that had entered the semi-finals.

Zhang Huasong knew that he was just an unknown man now and could not attract the attention of the audience.

However, even if only a few hundred people in the stands nearest watched, he would do his best to run seriously.

Not only to slap Lu Yongtao and Kang Yijia in the face and win the 1,000 yuan bet, but also to let some viewers know him, contribute his reputation to him, and use it to upgrade his skills.

As a national sportsman, the seed player in the eyes of the event organizing committee, Zhang Huasong's track is arranged in the fifth middle, and the position is relatively good.

After a brief warm-up, everyone stood at the starting line under the instructions of the starter and then squatted down.

At the starting line, Zhang Huasong looked at the front of the track seriously, waiting for the official start of the game.

After a few seconds, seeing that everyone was ready, the commander shouted: "Everyone should take care of everyone... prepare..."

Zhang Huasong tightened his muscles all over his body, and his ears were paying attention to the sound of the starting gun, and he was ready to start.
