God of Sprint

Chapter 987: The Magic City Station is worth watching!

When people witnessed Van Niekerk's stunning performance in the 400m final, they couldn't help but exclaim: "The King is indeed the King!"

This year, the form of another Botswana star, Kirani James, has declined significantly, which makes Van Niekerk feel like a lone loser in the 44-meter race. He has run three times under seconds in this year's competition, and each time he seemed to be at ease and did not seem to have used his full strength.

Today, the 400-meter event seems to have suddenly fallen into a dilemma of no successor. Although Michael Norman has emerged as a leader in the Americas, he still feels a little bit behind the top players.

Because of this, people are full of expectations for the upcoming Shanghai race. In this race, Van Niekerk will have a fierce competition with Zhao Yun. Everyone is curious whether Zhao Yun can bring real pressure to Van Niekerk and break his dominance in the 400m event?

In the evening, Zhao Yun and the coaching team also watched the video of Van Niekerk's game. Looking at Van Niekerk's condition, Wang Zijie said thoughtfully: "Van Niekerk's current condition is indeed very good, but for some reason, I always feel that his playing style is a little different from yours."

He paused and continued to explain: "He is like a frog in boiling water. His pace seems slow, but in fact it is very fast. If the opponent follows his pace, he will easily be dragged down. It is simply a fantasy to want to defeat him. After all, his real killer is the sprint stage of the last 50 meters. When others are exhausted, he only needs to speed up a little to win easily."

Zhao Yun agreed with Wang Zijie's words. He nodded and echoed, "That's true! This year, Van Niekerk has become smarter and stronger in the competition. Back then, although he once ran the best result in the world, it was difficult for him to maintain stability, and his results were always up and down. However, now his results are not only stable, but also very scary!"

I wanted to learn from Van Niekerk's game, but after watching it, I felt that there was nothing to learn from him. They were two completely different extremes. It was not suitable for me, and learning from him would make me become neither human nor ghost.

Just like you can't let Curry learn to break through like James, and you can't let James float outside and shoot three-pointers like Curry. Whoever tries to learn from the other will become nothing.

Just do your best in the way you are good at.

Under the tremendous pressure from Van Niekerk and Lyles, Zhao Yun has been like a madman these days, desperately trying to find his own rhythm and state.

He trained day and night, seemingly tireless, until there were only two days left before the start of the Shanghai competition, when he paused this crazy training mode.

After a short rest, Zhao Yun and the coaching team hurried to the hotel at Shanghai Station.

At this time, Shanghai was already crowded with journalists, and even overseas media had heard the news and rushed in. They were all looking forward to Olympic champion Zhao Yun, eager to see with their own eyes whether he could surprise everyone in his first game of the year.

These media arrived in Shanghai in advance, hoping to try their luck and get first-hand information before the game. However, to their disappointment, Zhao Yun gave almost no chance to interview anyone except for training in the hotel, with the only exception being Yang Shu.

After Yang Shu prepared the equipment, he took a deep breath, then picked up the microphone with a smile and pointed it at Zhao Yun who was sitting opposite him.

"Hello, Zhao Yun!" Yang Shu's voice was clear and loud, as if the whole room was infected by her enthusiasm.

Zhao Yun responded with a smile, "Hello!" His voice was low and powerful, revealing a calmness and confidence.

Yang Shu then asked: "Excuse me, have you watched the Doha race?"

Zhao Yun nodded without hesitation and replied, "I have seen it!"

Yang Shu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he continued to ask: "So, what do you think of the flower-growing team member Su Bingtian winning the 100-meter championship?"

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then answered seriously: "Su Bingtian is now one of the best in the world. It is natural for him to win the championship. Moreover, this is also a good start for our track and field team this year."

Yang Shu agreed with Zhao Yun's answer, and then changed the topic and said, "In the 9.80-meter race, Lyles from the American team won the championship, and his performance was very good, with a score of . What do you think of this athlete?"

Zhao Yun raised his lips slightly and said slowly, "Lyles, I did hear a lot of people mention him after I came back. I heard that he is very talented in the 200-meter event. Everyone says that he will become a superstar in the future."

Yang Shu was obviously not satisfied with his answer, so he deliberately changed the subject, "Did you know that Lyles challenged you after the game?"

"Oh?" Zhao Yun was surprised. "Is this true? I know nothing about this. Haha, but since he has challenged me, I will gladly accept it. Let's see how he reacts."

"Haha, your response is really straightforward!" Yang Shu laughed, "Your fans are all looking forward to your 200-meter duel with him! I'm sure many fans are hoping that you can defeat him so that they can get revenge."

Zhao Yun responded confidently: "Don't worry, I will never let my fans down!"

"Well, that's great." Yang Shu changed the subject, "For the 400-meter race, Van Niekerk has also appeared in Shanghai. After watching his race, many people praised him as being invincible. What do you think of this?"

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Van Niekerk's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. He was already very strong, and now he is even better. As for whether he is really invincible, we will have to wait for the result of this competition to find out."

.....

After Yang Shu’s interview content was released, the topic of "Zhao Yun is not afraid of Lyles' challenge" immediately became a hot search again.

There are a lot of highlights in the competition in Shanghai.
