Chapter 530: Do you feel the pressure of the master?

After the men's volleyball quarter-finals, the Chinese audience will usher in another much-anticipated final—the men's long jump final. Gong Xiaoya had already geared up, ready to kill all the famous American generals like pigs and dogs. But to say that the Americans paid the most attention to this final, because the top three players in the world in the long jump event are all from the United States without exception. This is a project that the United States previously thought could be contracted. So if Gong Xiaoya took away the gold medal in a one-on-one match, the Americans would be able to experience the collapse of a stick on the archery field like ascending to heaven! The Soviets of course have objections to this, because the famous Soviet player Emyyan from Armenia is also a seed player. He jumped a personal best of 8.86 meters in 1987, which is also the second closest to the world record of 8.90 meters. Good results. But this person's rise was as fast as his silence. Not only did he fail to create a more dazzling long jump result, but his performance in this Olympic Games was even more sluggish, and he almost failed to enter the finals! At this time, look at Gong Xiaoya's stable high-level performance in the qualifying round. No matter how you think about it, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Lewis and Gong Xiaoya are the most champions. Gong Xiaoya did not get carried away with complacency. He knew very well that the long jump competition in this Olympic Games has a very high gold content. It can be regarded as the strongest competition until 2024. He has three opponents who are ranked in the top five in the Long Jump Hall of Fame by 2024. These opponents also have the potential to break the world record, and the long jump is a game that can often create miracles. Of course, he will not take it lightly. "I've already said that the bunker should have been expanded a long time ago. If I failed to set a new world record today, it must be caused by the **** bunker of the organizers. They are not professional at all!" The long jump competition is not good If you play tricks on your opponents, you can only shoot at the hosts, so Gong Xiaoya made all the sticks so angry during the pre-match interview! Wu Jie shook his head at this moment, he felt that after this Olympic Games, Bang Zi's resentment towards them might exceed Japan's! But the end of "hate" may be "fear". Since they have already done the first day of junior high school, they can't be idle from the first day to the fifteenth day of the junior high school. They have to round and flatten this stick every day, cook, fry and fry , Ling Chi cut the flesh until they are afraid! "It's a pity that Bangzi didn't have any contestants to enter the finals, and they couldn't humiliate them face to face. It's one less good thing!" Gong Xiaoya was already warming up at this time, but looking around, there was no other Asian contestant except him, most of the 12 people. All black athletes. The Olympic long jump final rules are different from the qualifying competition. If there are more than 8 athletes, it will be divided into two halves. Each person is allowed to try jumping 3 times in the first half. Among them, the top 8 athletes with the best effective results will enter the second half and try again. Jump 3 times, and finally divide the rankings according to the three players with the best effective results. The first trial jump in the first half is naturally sorted according to the ranking of the qualifying round. Gong Xiaoya was the first in the qualifying round, so he played in the last place in the finals, which is more or less a bit of a bargain. But in fact, the results of the first jump do not have much reference value. Everyone in this jump is mainly to adapt to the environment, such as wind speed and venue, and secondly to check their own status in order to prepare for the next two jumps. Therefore, the best jump before Gong Xiaoya's appearance was only 8.14 meters, which was created by the American player Myrix, and Powell, who Gong Xiaoya regarded as the biggest threat, directly fouled on the first jump. Gong Xiaoya naturally attracted everyone's attention when he appeared on the stage, but this time he didn't play fancy tricks anymore, and his first trial jump followed the normal process, so the final result was only 8.25 meters! Of course, this "only" is a bit of Versailles, 8.25 meters can win a silver medal in the last Olympic Games, but compared with his crazy performance in the qualifying round, then this result can only be called "only". The preparation time for today's final is also different from that of the qualifying round. The preparation time for the first three jumps of the 12 contestants is 90 seconds, and an additional 30 seconds will be added when entering the last three jumps. In addition, the order of each jump in the second round will be sorted according to the results of the previous round, so Gong Xiaoya's second trial jump is still the last one. The Chinese audience was very happy watching the second round of trial jumps. Gong Xiaoya's first jump obviously caused a lot of psychological pressure on other contestants. The most obvious impact was that more fouls were committed. This is because they all felt the pressure of 8.25 meters. They felt that their first jump was only this distance, and their second jump should at least not be much different from their first jump, right? But the problem is that for Gong Xiaoya, this result can really be jumped out casually. But for others, even Lewis and Powell, there is no guarantee that they will jump out of this result every time. Gong Xiaoya's stable high-level performance is achieved through massive training time that ordinary people can't have. He has trained his control to the extreme of human beings, but other people want to exceed 8.2 meters. It depends on the state and luck. And this is Gong Xiaoya's tactics in this final - he wants to destroy the mentality and rhythm of the opponents bit by bit through the stability that ordinary people can't match, so as to prevent them from jumping out of their own limit level. Soon, the players except Gong Xiaoya had completed the second trial jump, but this time there were 5 players who failed to achieve results due to fouls in different links, including Powell who fouled in the first jump, and Lewis with only 8.09 meters in the first jump. Gong Xiaoya's best result before his appearance was actually created by the Soviet player Emyyan. He created a score of 8.34 meters in his second jump, temporarily surpassing Gong Xiaoya's first jump of 8.25 meters. At this time, the eyes of the whole world were fixed on Gong Xiaoya who appeared last, but most of the eyes were full of malice, cursing him that it would be better to directly foul and get no results. But looking at Gong Xiaoya with a calm face and even an extremely confident smile, most people knew that their curses probably had no effect. This prediction was very accurate. Gong Xiaoya handled all the links in the second trial jump very easily and comfortably, and fouls were even impossible. The final score of 8.43 meters directly made all the contestants who stopped to watch in the rest area gasp. It's cool! It's not that Lewis, Powell, Merricks and others can't jump such a result, but the problem is that Gong Xiaoya is too relaxed from approach to take-off, to the posture in the air and the expression on his face. Everyone can see that he has no jump at all. Give it your all, it's like playing house there. But it was such an understatement of a trial jump that actually jumped out of the previous gold-winning results, which formed a huge psychological impact on everyone. Of course, pressure can not only affect the opponent's mentality, but also stimulate the opponent's potential. Powell is just a player who needs stimulation and pressure to realize his potential. Gong Xiaoya's most important opponent in this final is also the first person in the long jump from this original plane. If Powell really jumps 8.95 meters once, then even he is not sure that he will win, because exceeding 8.50 meters is the limit that he can no longer control accurately, and exceeding 8.90 meters is something that even he needs state and luck to achieve Achievement. At this time, Powell was under tremendous psychological pressure. He had fouled in the first two attempts. If he failed to score this time, he would be eliminated directly! This kind of pressure is not small, so it can be seen that Powell, who was the first to appear in the third trial jump, his entire chest was heaving violently, and the blood flow in his body was accelerated under the stimulation of huge pressure, so that his complexion began to change. Ruddy up. Seeing this, Gong Xiaoya couldn't help but yawned, because Powell's preparation time was too long, and it seemed that it was almost overtime, and he was still lucky. At this time, the camera accurately captured Gong Xiaoya's action that could be interpreted as disrespect, and then he heard a shout of "ah"-this was Powell's roar before he finally started running! "Damn, you run really fast. This momentum is going to break the record!" Gong Xiaoya couldn't help but feel a little panic when he saw Powell who was obviously on the verge of breaking the boat. After all, this is a five-star star with the potential to jump to 8.95 meters monster! What makes him stronger than Powell is that the "limit distance" is slightly higher, and the control power that ordinary people cannot have, but if he is unlucky and encounters the opponent's explosive seed, he may not be able to defeat it 100%! "The American player Powell, his approach speed is very fast, he is also full of momentum, he takes off...amazing flying in the air, this American player with long arms and legs, his posture in the air is like a big bird with open wings...landing Right, next to the 9-meter line, as long as there is no violation at this position, it will definitely exceed 8.6 meters!" Song Shixiong was explaining Powell's shocking jump in the live broadcast room at this time, because he had seen Gong Xiaoya's violation of 8.83 meters in the qualifying round, so Song Shixiong could judge from the position where Powell landed that the result of this jump was definitely not bad! Sure enough, the two referees in the bunker area hurried forward to measure, and finally measured a result that made American audiences jump up from the TV - "8.90 meters"! "Haha, I just said that Powell is the strongest player at the limit! He copied the jump of the 21st century!" "Poor Lewis, he can only compete for second place now!" "Powell is simply possessed by God, but I want to see the expressions of the Chinese people now, it must be very exciting!" "..." At this time, the camera seemed to have heard the call of the American audience, and immediately gave a close-up of Gong Xiaoya's face... How should I put it, his expression at this time The facial expression is really exciting in a certain way, but it stunned the laughing American audience... These Americans did not see the despair they imagined, but saw Gong Xiaoya showing a kind of smile that seemed to be secretly happy. Then he probably thought that such an expression was not suitable for being photographed, so he immediately forcibly retracted the smile and changed it into a look of "please forgive me and let it change". Gong Xiaoya's expression of attending a funeral is of course more inappropriate, but it is also reasonable to some extent, because a referee from Africa is raising a red flag in the "jump zone" at the moment, which means that Powell has fouled in the jump zone . Then a belated replay explained the red flag, and Powell in the camera clearly touched the jump line with his big foot, and according to the rules, this situation is naturally considered a foul. This time, the American audience not only lost their smiles, they all stopped in place as if they had lost their souls. Many people even kept dancing and dancing before it was too late to cancel. The Chinese audience naturally replaced them. They laughed more presumptuously than Gong Xiaoya. Even Song Shixiong couldn't help hey a few times, then quickly coughed a few times to divert the embarrassment, and then expressed condolences to the American contestants in an extremely cheerful voice. What a pity to foul! Gong Xiaoya also knew that he couldn't laugh out loud now, so he suppressed a smile and shook his head and sighed. But looking at his appearance that is about to suffocate internal injuries, he really doesn't have any acting skills at all, no wonder he can't be a cross talk actor, he can't hold back his laughter at all! But Gong Xiaoya's happiness is understandable, how can he not be happy that the strongest opponent has played himself to death like this? It was Powell's third foul, and failing three consecutive attempts meant he was eliminated. Wu Jie is not surprised, because Powell's nickname is "Foul King". This is not the first time that he has suffered bad results due to too many fouls in the World Series, and even been eliminated directly. Today's Gong Xiaoya has put heavy pressure on all the players, and Powell is also a player with a hot temper and a gambler's mentality. In this case, he lost the bet and was eliminated miserably, that's nothing more than normal. Gong Xiaoya's mood has become very good now. Although there are more than one historical-level star present today, the only one who can really threaten him is Powell, who has outstanding upper and lower limits, not Lewis, who has been undefeated for almost ten years. Although Lewis has achieved the highest competition achievement in history in the original plane, and also completed an unprecedented four consecutive Olympic championships, his "personal absolute performance" is slightly inferior. To put it bluntly, he is also a stable player, but the upper limit than Powell. Gong Xiaoya didn't take Lewis seriously, because no matter how stable the opponent's performance was, he would never be able to catch up with him. He belonged to Tianke Lewis. In the third jump attempt, Gong Xiaoya easily jumped out of 8.57 meters with a desperate lower limit. This result can win the championship in advance in most competitions, but looking at Gong Xiaoya's relaxed and freehand posture, especially the result that each jump is more than ten centimeters farther than the previous one, it is hard not to make people feel— He can also jump out of ideas for better grades. "The score of 8.57 meters seems very easy for you. We also noticed that you have increased by more than ten centimeters in each trial jump. Are you following Zhao Ritian in the archery field?" This is the Japanese reporter in the midfield. The question asked during the break, the epic humiliation just now made his memory too deep, so he naturally asked such a question. "What's wrong with Zhao Ritian?" Of course Gong Xiaoya pretended not to know anything, he is not a reporter, how could he get news from other arenas so quickly, "But you are right, this result is really easy for me , next time I will of course improve on this basis, because this is the normal rhythm of the long jump competition!" Gong Xiaoya suddenly stopped pretending, because this thing should be invisible when it is pretended to the extreme. "Congratulations on becoming the leader in the first half of the trial jump. The second half of the trial jump will start soon. Who do you think will be your most threatening opponent?" This is a question from the Chinese reporter. Gong Xiaoya was very uncomfortable, and stood there thinking for a while before answering. "I think Powell is my biggest threat. Although his jump was fouled, it also proved that he has the potential to surpass the world record. As for the others, I don't think they can challenge me. My opponent in the second half will be that A world record line!" Gong Xiaoya felt that his words could not be regarded as pretentious~lightnovelpub.net~ because he did have the qualifications to challenge the world record! But these words spread to the ears of journalists from other countries through translation, especially to the ears of audiences from various countries. Although their reason told themselves that what Gong Xiaoya said was true, the arrogance cultivated over the centuries just refused to believe Gong Xiaoya Can break the world record. This allowed Lewis and Emian to carry all the expectations of the two Western camps. Unfortunately, after the disappointing Emyan came out, he directly used a foul to make the cooking boss take a sip of vodka. However, some robbers are not much better. Lewis' jump of 8.45 meters after the seventh appearance is not bad, but in comparison, it is still not as good as Gong Xiaoya's third jump. At this moment, Gong Xiaoya's pressure was directly reduced to zero. Anyway, even Lewis, who was the best, did not jump more than 8.5 meters, so he can try to challenge the limit from now on. But he still kept a little bit of strength in this jump. This is to try to reduce the turnover rate to a level that is not easy to foul. Although this will definitely affect the final performance, when a score of 8.75 meters is declared valid by three white flags at the same time It also means that he can have two chances to really hit the limit. …
