Chapter 228 Growth(1/3)
No one is unchanging, and so is competitive sports. No one's level will remain at the same level.
As time goes by, the level will always fluctuate.
Like Lin Dongxian of the South Korean team, Qiu Tian has been making continuous progress in the past two years. Although the progress is relatively small, this progress is visible. The first Olympic Games was like an opportunity. After that game, his overall confidence and level have been raised to a new level.
And this improvement has caused him to undergo a qualitative change.
This 20 ring is proof.
Tian Zhenzhe seemed very excited, and Qiu Tian's performance greatly increased his confidence in the next game.
Also excited were the Chinese who were present.
Chinese archery is likely to usher in a historic breakthrough today.
And this 20 ring also changed the faces of the British team members.
With the right time, place, people and people, they all took advantage of it. It was just the time to establish an advantage, but unexpectedly, another surprise soldier appeared in the Chinese team.
"The game has become interesting now." Prince William said with a smile as he looked at the score on the field.
He likes sports, but his sense of honor for national sports is not as strong as that of ordinary audiences. To put it bluntly, he likes sports itself more. The more exciting the game is, the more he likes it.
The second British team to play was Alan Wells, the youngest among the three British teams and the weakest. His performance determined the lower limit of the British team's game.
The British audience once again gave the initiative a burst of excited cheers.
Wells took a deep breath and walked onto the field.
The audience's cheers were the driving force, but Qiu Tian's 20 ring turned this driving force into a pressure, which made Wells breathless.
He took a deep breath, calmed his heart a little, aimed for more than ten seconds before he let go and shot the first arrow.
"Bang!"
9 rings with one arrow.
Scattered uproars came from the scene.
In the archery competition, 10 rings are the perfect ring number, but 9 rings are also excellent. This is like a playing card game called Niu Niu. Although Niu Niu is very gratifying, Niu Ba and Niu Jiu are also a bit bigger.
But on this field, the audience's expectations for the home team are obviously more than just 9 rings. Although it is a bit unrealistic, their hope is that the home team players can arrow 10 rings.
This is the same in other home courts.
This is a normal phenomenon, but Wells's heart was unconsciously fluctuating. This uproar made him feel very guilty.
With the second arrow, he took a deep breath to adjust his mindset.
After he felt almost the same, he silently recited something to release pressure from himself.
The arrow is off the string.
"Bang!"
A dull sound.
There was an uproar at the scene.
This is a 7-ring.
The distance of 70 meters is very subtle, so there is a saying that archery competitions are more mentally versus mentality.
Wells's mentality fluctuated greatly, causing his grades to fluctuate a lot.
This is the difference between first-class players and top players, the difference is stability.
Wells shook his head in annoyance. It was obvious that he could not be satisfied with the result of 2 arrows and 16 rings.
After Wells, Ning Ze of the Chinese team followed suit.
Tian Zhenzhe stood up from his seat at this time.
Among the three Chinese team members, veteran Ning Ze was originally the one he felt most at ease, but with Qiu Tian's strong performance and Ning Ze's expression before the game, he had to worry.
Ning Ze's expression has not changed much. As a veteran, even if he has millions of emotions in his heart, he will not easily reveal it.
After he got to his position, he adjusted his breathing, then pulled out the arrow and aimed at it.
"Bang!"
One shot of 8 rings.
Tian Zhenzhe couldn't help but press his fist, and a burst of cheers came from the British audience at the scene.
The 8 rings of arrows made Wells' 7 rings less disappointing.
After all, 7 plus 9 is the same as 8 plus 8.
Ning Ze's second arrow.
He still maintained the demeanor of an old player, and there was no big emotional fluctuation on his face.
The only change that can be seen is that his arrow speed was obviously much slower than the first arrow.
He finally let go of his hand when he almost made the audience feel a little impatient.
"Swoosh!"
When the arrow left the string, Tian Zhenzhe's eyes lit up.
"Bang!"
A single arrow hit the target, and cheers suddenly came from the scene.
10 rings, 10 rings with a red heart!
Ning Ze withstood the pressure at a critical moment and shot a beautiful 10 rings!
The British audience at the scene was a little confused. The Chinese person in front of him seemed to be trying to sway their appetite.
Tang Hao and Ning Ze who ended up having a high-five. It has to be said that he had completely underestimated his two teammates before. It seems that when he focused on swimming and boxing, both teammates had grown a lot.
"Interesting." Prince William poked a piece of cut watermelon with a fork, and his eyes became more and more interesting.
The third British team debuted Simon Terry. Compared with Wells, he is older and has a much better mentality control. After he played, the score of 10 rings and 9 rings quickly brought the British audience on the scene again.
The last player to play in the Chinese team was Tang Hao.
When Tang Hao walked on the stage, bursts of excited cheers came from the scene, including many Chinese and some British audiences.
There is no doubt that Tang Hao's influence does not come from archery alone, but his influence in archery is unprecedented.
Tang Hao felt the enthusiasm of the audience and reached out to wave to the audience.
At this moment, many British spectators waved to the stadium with apples, and the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to another.
Prince William looked at the audience in surprise. Although he was mentally prepared, Tang Hao's popularity was beyond his expectations.
But the more this happens, he becomes more and more expectant.
Tang Hao walked to the target with the bow.
At this time, the score on the field was 55 to 38. Tang Hao could tie the score as long as he shot 17 rings.
This was obviously a breeze for him.
Tang Hao raised his bow, pulled out the arrow from the quiver, and put the arrow on the string.
At this moment, sporadic noises of interference suddenly came from the audience on the sidelines.
The sound comes from a small number of native British audiences.
This soon attracted dissatisfaction from the Chinese audience. They turned their heads and glared at those people, and even some British audiences who supported Tang Hao also cast disdainful eyes on them.
Even Prince William frowned slightly.
Archery is a competitive competition that requires great concentration. Even if you cheer and shout, it will be very disturbing to the contestants, even more so than this deliberate interference.
Tang Hao let go after aiming.
The arrows galloped away like a rocket.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound, an arrow hit the red heart.
10 rings! 10 rings of red hearts!
There was a boiling cheer sound at the scene.
The head coach of the Chinese team, Tian Zhenzhe, also waved his arms excitedly.
Tang Hao shot down 10 rings against interference!
When he just obtained the system, he only obtained 50% of Li Guang's ability to pass through Yang. Putting aside the adaptation, his mentality still belongs to the mentality of a third-rate player, but after improving his ability and after so many competitions, his anti-interference ability has long been top-notch, and this interference has not had much impact on him.
He then drew out the second arrow.
But at this moment, the noise of interference sounded again on the scene. Unlike before, the amplitude of interference this time increased significantly, and the players in the arena could hear it quite clearly.
The audience, putting aside quality, often do things randomly. For example, the CBA, the top Chinese basketball league, often throws beverage bottles at home, but in the NBA, such things are rare. In this case, compared to the audience's quality, it depends more on the on-site management.
Good management is to prevent problems before they happen or extinguish fires. The sporadic noises in front of them have already had an impact on the competition, but the organizing committee did not take corresponding measures, which sent a signal to the audience: It is okay to do this, and it is allowed to do this.
