Chapter 354: A Hard Battle Turns into a Sudden Death Situation

Wrestling matches are elimination, divided into four stages, qualifying, elimination, repechage and finals, generally speaking, the next three stages are the mainstay, if the number of people exceeds 32, they will qualify.

The knockout round is divided into two groups, and the group fights until each group produces the final winner, and these two people enter the final to compete for the championship and runner-up.

In the course of the competition, the athletes who lose to the two finalists will compete for the 3rd-8th place, and the final round of the repechage will also be the third place.

In addition, the other players who lost the game were all eliminated.

In the latest format, each match is divided into two rounds, each round is 3 minutes, and if the score is the same at the end, there will be an extra 3 minutes of extra time.

In the wrestling competition, each level will be completed on the same day, that is to say, if there are 32 participants, if you want to win the championship, you have to play five matches in one day, and the time span is basically about 6 hours, which is still very physically demanding.

This time there is no qualifying tournament for the World Wrestling Grand Prix, and the knockout round will be held directly, that is to say, if Meng Fan loses the first game tomorrow, unless the person who won him finally reaches the final, Meng Fan will be eliminated directly.

"Tough fight!"

Hu Cunyong really didn't expect Meng Fan to meet the Turkish star Kayaop in his first official match, who was the world champion last year, the runner-up in the last Olympic Games, and the favorite to win the wrestling competition at this level at the Kyoto Olympics.

Although he is still very confident in Meng Fan, Meng Fan has little experience in the competition, and it is really not a good thing to gnaw such hard stubble as soon as he comes up.

Even from the perspective of pure military training, it is not a good thing, in case of losing, God knows if it will be a blow to Meng Fan.

Of course, if Meng Fan is ashamed and brave after he is familiar, it will definitely be a good thing.

As for winning...... Hu Cunyong felt that there must be a chance to win, but he was really not sure how many.

"Meng Fan, tomorrow's first battle is a tough battle!"

Hu Cunyong didn't hide it, he directly told Meng Fan about the situation of the first game tomorrow, brought the information over, conducted a technical analysis of the opponent, and also arranged tactics.

"The most important thing is that when you get on the court, you are in a hurry, try first, and it's best to try the first round. Play steadily and strive to play full time. ”

Hu Cunyong was still very happy with Meng Fan's attitude, he did not have no one in his eyes because he had penetrated South Korea, and listened carefully to his analysis and tactical arrangements throughout the whole process.

It's much more stable than Hu Cunyong imagined!

"Although it is a tough battle, it can also be fought, you will not lose to the other party in all aspects of your conditions, including strength and skill, as long as you stabilize the fight and make up for the lack of experience, there is no reason not to win!"

Hu Cunyong must want to encourage Meng Fan, pay attention to the opponent tactically, and definitely despise it strategically!

"Rest well and refresh your spirits!"

"Okay. ”

After Hu Cunyong left, Meng Fan watched several videos of the matches of many strong opponents, including Kayaop, and then ...... I took out the drawing paper from the suitcase, took out the brush, and began to draw the comic.

After drawing for a while, he connected with Wu Tong to talk about the video of lovesickness - the national team management is very strict, but it is not necessary to keep communication tools at all times, of course, even if it is kept, Meng Fan has black technology and can contact the outside anytime and anywhere - After chatting for a long time, Wu Tong asked Meng Fan to hurry up and rest.

After the video ended, Meng Fan continued to paint, but he didn't stay up too long, and he fell asleep at more than 1 o'clock.

......

The World Wrestling Grand Prix Baotou Station is held in the gymnasium of the Baotou Olympic Sports Center, which has 6,000+ seats and an area of more than 20,000 square meters, which fully meets the venue requirements of the Wrestling Grand Prix.

There are two competition venues in the middle of the venue, and the two groups of games can be played at the same time.

The Grand Prix is definitely open to the public, and spectators can enter to watch it with a ticket.

Wrestling is not a popular event, the audience base is not large, there are really not many people who are willing to buy tickets to watch the scene, of course, although there are not many, but there are also some free tickets and group tickets, the audience who comes to the scene can barely exceed 1,000 people, plus the athletes and their sports teams and staff, there should be 1,500 people in the venue.

After the end of the 100kg competition, the scene suddenly became lively in one direction.

"Look, is that guy over there familiar?"

"Isn't that Meng Fan?"

"What an iron god!"

"What's the situation, why did Iron God come to participate in the wrestling match?"

"The cow has been approved, the iron god is warming up, is this joining the national team?"

"Come and see, that's Meng Fan!"

Soon, all the people on this side were crowded in one direction, and it was the seat that Meng Fan warmed up on.

"Why are you here? Why are you running here so cold!"

Before these people leaned over here, Meng Fan, who came out to warm up and prepare, saw Wu Tong and Wu Ji, Wu Tong stood on the edge of the venue and smiled at Meng Fan, Wu Ji looked reluctant: "She has to come, I can only accompany her." ”

Wu Tong said with a smile: "I won't have anything to do after the exhibition is over, you are competing for the national team for the first time, I must be there!"

Meng Fan quipped: "You're not afraid of me because you're going to be nervous?"

Wu Tong said: "I'm afraid that you will be nervous, so let you adapt as soon as possible, I can't go to watch your competition in the future." ”

Wu Ji let out a long breath, can't these two people think about themselves when they flirt?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the audience on the side to squeeze here, and as soon as they came over, they ate a ton of dog food first, obviously most of them recognized Wu Tong, and some recognized Wu Ji's brother-in-law.

"Iron God! Wow, and the painting fairy!"

"Iron God, are you here for the competition?"

"Anchor Meng, you're not kind, why don't you start a live broadcast when you participate in a wrestling match, hahaha!"

"Boss Meng, have you joined the national team?"

"Why didn't you say such a big thing!"

"I said that after playing South Korea, I didn't move, and I didn't participate in MMA competitions, it turned out that I was fighting for my country, Niu Pi!"

"It's really here this time!"

"Come on, Iron God!"

A group of people greeted Meng Fan very enthusiastically and shouted cheers, and they all shouted at the audience in other directions, the 100kg final venue is here, why shout over there!

Meng Fan pointed to the national flag and words on his chest, and then gave a thumbs up to this group of enthusiastic audiences, it was impossible to continue chatting with Wu Tong, watch her concentrate on warming up.

The men's Greco-Roman 100kg competition ended, and after a simple medal ceremony, the 130kg elimination round began.

Meng Fan is No. 22 in Group B, and in Group 3 he is playing against No. 21 Kayaop.

After the warm-up, the backstage roll call is checked and waiting for the appearance.

Here, he also met Kayaop, who was about the same height as Meng Fan, 186 centimeters. The whole person looks very stocky, and his weight must be heavier than Meng Fan, but it is estimated that this is not much heavier, and his weight is 117 kilograms in terms of accurate figures, which is not the heaviest batch in the largest class, but to achieve such a result, it can be seen that his strength is not only good, but his skills are good.

Kayaop was also looking at Meng Fan, he only knew about Meng Fan on the list of matches, and the coaching staff didn't care about it at first, but after a little interjection, he had to pay attention to it, a person who penetrated a country's martial arts world, even if this person participated in a large-level wrestling that the East Asian race is not good at, but it must also be taken seriously.

After watching a few videos, you can be sure that it is a hard stubble.

Kayaop is a famous general, and his strength is also very strong, and even now it can be said that he was at his peak, after the retirement of Cuban star López, he can be said to be the king at this level, and there are not many people who can make him pay attention, and now there is one more Meng Fan.

In the last Olympics, Kayaop was the runner-up, and it was Cuban star López López who beat him to win the championship. That final was arguably a game of great disparity, with the final score being 6-0 and Kayaop scoring a point. López also completed the third consecutive Olympic men's Greco-Roman wrestling championship with this championship!

After completing the check-in, a reminder of the event appeared on the radio, Meng Fan took off the sportswear he was wearing outside, and left the check-in office backstage with only the competition uniform, that is, the wrestling suit, and entered the competition venue.

Wrestling costumes are really ...... It's very tight, and the wrestling suit is really a bit similar to the gel suit, for a wrestling novice like Meng Fan, it's not shameful, at least it's not used to it.

When he trains, he wears training clothes, and before the competition, he wore a wrestling suit to get used to it, and this is the second time he wears it.

There may be friends who are interested in wrestling asking, do you wear underwear in your wrestling suit, of course you wear it, and some people will wear two, the purpose is not to cover, the main role is to protect, prevent injury, including preventing "O Ding O" from running around in strenuous exercise and getting injured.

Even so, because it's too tight, the visual effect is still very straightforward.

Of course, athletes who are serious about the game and spectators who are serious about watching the game will never care about such details or rough details.

Meng Fan and Kayaop appeared on the left and right, followed by their respective coaches and technical advisors, coaches and technical advisors entered the coaching area, and the two athletes arrived at the competition venue and stood in the center of the wrestling mat.

The referee team confirms that the player's information is correct, and the referee enters the field.

The referee was from Poland, and he was a little confused when he came up, why did the atmosphere in the audience suddenly become warm.

Of course, he knows that Kayaop is a famous general, but he is not so famous in China, this warm atmosphere is no longer what ordinary celebrities can have, and it feels like it is for sports superstars.

And does wrestling have sports superstars? Apparently not.

Could it be that this is the case that the Chinese players are warmly welcomed by the Chinese audience because they are Chinese?

It seems that the Chinese players did not have this effect when they played before!

Of course, the referee knows something about the players, but he doesn't study them as opponents like other athletes, because the Huaxia level is relatively weak, and this referee just looks at it and doesn't know who Meng Fan is.

And now most of the people in the gymnasium recognize Meng Fan coming, even if they don't recognize it, they know who it is when they hear the people shouting on the side.

Confused, the referee motioned for the game to begin.

The wrestling mat is square, the inside is a circle with a diameter of 9 meters, the edge of the circle is the red band, the outside of the red belt is the protection zone, and the circle inside the red belt is the competition area.

Once the match starts, both players must take the correct starting position, otherwise, the opponent will add 1 point.

After starting the posture correctly, Kayaop reached out to grab Meng Fan, at this time, according to the rules, Meng Fan could not dodge, once he dodged Kayaop, he could add 1 point.

Kayaop also had the intention of testing first, and after grasping, he began to test the strength, which included the test of the grip strength of the hand, the strength of the arm, and the strength of the upper limbs brought out and the stability of the lower plate.

Kayaop has a lot of hands, bigger than anyone Meng Fan has ever met in the national team and in South Korea.

Beep!

The referee suddenly rushed over and separated the two, pointing at Meng Fan to warn, and then 1-0 appeared on the scorer, and Kayaop scored.

Many of the audience at the scene couldn't understand what was going on, and they didn't know until they heard the commentary.

Of course, there is a commentary on the scene, and there is more than one, but only the commentary in Huaxia appears in the live broadcast, and the commentary in other languages is because the national or regional TV station has a live broadcast or broadcast needs, of course, the number of people is not much. Unlike those popular big events, there are a lot of live commentary.

Meng Fan fouled, and used joint skills when grabbing, which was a foul action. Fortunately, Meng Fan instinctively used the grappling technique and realized that he didn't use force and hurt the opponent, otherwise he wouldn't have added 1 point to the opponent.

Seeing this, Hu Cunyong clenched his fists, and what he was worried about still happened, in the previous simulation competition, Meng Fan's biggest problem was this, there was often a suspicion of joint skills or joint skills, which was too unfavorable for the game.

Kayaop seems to have thought of Meng Fan's information, he didn't have any experience in formal wrestling before, and he played MMA, so Meng Fan's first weakness appeared in his mind, that is, he was prone to fouls and technical points.

Push it again!

After the referee signaled for the game to continue, Kayaop chose to hug Meng Fan forward.

Just like the grip, a hug cannot be refused!

Kayaop hugged Meng Fan's upper limbs - the classical style does not allow hugging the lower limbs - taking advantage of his height shorter than Meng Fan, the force pressed down, trying to force Meng Fan to touch the pads with his knees to score, or push Meng Fan into the red belt to put him in a dangerous state to score.

It's just that as soon as Kayaop's body was lowered after pressing down with his strength, Meng Fan took advantage of his height to press forward, so that his head was in front of Meng Fan's chest, and then hugged his arms with both hands, and suddenly made an over-the-chest throw, snapping and slamming Kayaop back on the red belt.

The audience immediately screamed, and Hu Cunyong and others were also so excited that they clenched their fists.

The referee was stunned for a moment and raised a three-point gesture.

According to the regulations, after the referee determines the score, the referee team has no objection to record it before the real score is scored.

And just when the referee raised the three-point gesture, Kayaop quickly stood up, otherwise he would continue to score, but Meng Fan had already turned over and was waiting for him, reaching out and grabbing Kayaop, who had not yet stood firmly, and the top was successful, and it was an over-the-shoulder fall.

Kayaop was thrown by this and fell to the ground on his shoulder, and with such an opportunity, Meng Fan must have directly controlled it, causing his shoulders to land on the ground for a second!

As soon as the referee's three-point hand fell, he raised another five-point and blew the whistle to signal the end of the game!
