"Team Pan is already very powerful"
"Hasn't he reacted yet?"
"The hole is cut in the side road, Lele can't see him in the fourth road, and he was stolen, but it's only 0.03, and the short pool is very good at picking silver."
"It's conservative, and the two are too far apart to see"
"Pan's next goal: turn around and practice well, and get good results again"
"There is a pattern in the speech! I believe that Xiao Pan, who is self-disciplined, will sum it up well, continue to work hard, and strive for the return of the king next time."
"This competition is not very friendly to Pan Zhanle's sprint type, and he has to turn around before he increases his speed, breaking the rhythm, and the silver medal is already very good, keep up the good work."
