Chapter 228: The Sailing Race Next
"No need Larry, I'll pick the number one. Although the ship is at a disadvantage for the time being, the race has just begun, and it is possible that there will be a turnaround. ”
originally had the mentality of a game, and even if he chose again, it was all up to luck, so Zheng Yan still insisted on his decision.
"Well, in that case, I'll pick the second boat and see which of us has the better luck. ”
Although Larry Ellison could make a better choice with his knowledge of the sport of sailing, in order not to take advantage of Zheng Yan, he still chose one at random.
After the two were chosen, they turned their attention to the ongoing match.
Not long after all the sailboats had sprinted, the wind had subsided, and everyone lowered their raised sails. For this random sea breeze, no one knows how strong the wind is, let alone what direction the wind will be, if it still remains in full sail condition, it is likely to be at a disadvantage when the next wave of wind comes.
"Zheng Yan, it seems that your luck is good, the gust of wind just now didn't last long, if the No. 1 ship can make adjustments in the future, maybe there will be a chance. ”
Although it was just a joke between friends, Zheng Yan still cared a little bit about the outcome of this time, so he said proudly: "My luck is good." ”
After the sails are lowered, all the participants rely on the inertia of the boat and the oars in their hands to keep the sailboat moving forward.
Although it was the first time to watch a sailing race on the spot, and it could even be said that it was the first time to watch a sailing race, because of the shouts of the on-site personnel and the fierce competition situation, Zheng Yan felt a little enthusiastic.
The wind is impermanent, and the sea breeze is even more impermanent, and another gust of sea breeze blows, and it is even more violent than the first time.
Brush! Brush!
At the moment when the sea breeze blows, all the competitors have a good judgment on the direction of the wind and raise the sails almost at the same time.
Zheng Yan's No. 1 sailboat, I don't know if it was because of the mistake at the beginning that affected the opponent's mentality, the second time the sail was raised, he did not control the direction, although it was not directly transverse, but the direction of the force was still deviated, and it actually hit the sailboat on the side.
"Oh my, what did I see..."
"How did this kind of player pass the selection..."
"I don't think he's as good as me..."
Because of the successive mistakes of the No. 1 sailboat, there were a lot of complaints in the crowd watching. Although the object of the complaint was not herself, Zheng Yan still felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Larry Ellison is not Tang Hao, and he did not sneer at Zheng Yan.
"Oh Larry, it seems that my luck is not as good as I thought it would be. ”
At the end of the race, Zheng Yan no longer had any hope for the No. 1 sailboat.
"Zheng Yan, I don't think my luck seems to be good, the No. 1 ship crashed into the No. 2 sailboat I chose. Larry Ellison replied with a pig's liver on his face.
It was such a coincidence that there were more than 20 sailboats participating in the competition, and the accident occurred on the sailboat selected by Zheng Yan and the others.
The runner of Boat No. 1 also seemed to know that the situation was not good, so he quickly lowered the sails that had just been raised, and tried his best to change the direction of the boat. Player No. 2 also made adjustments at the first time, trying to stay away from Boat No. 1, after all, it is not a two-person race, and he does not want to have a lose-lose situation.
Despite the efforts of both parties, the wind was too strong and the sailboat was too fast, and the two ships collided. Fortunately, the collision was not very serious, and there was no capsizing.
"Oh Zheng Yan, I believe it now, your luck is indeed good, at least compared to me. ”
It turned out that because the bow of the No. 1 sailboat hit the hull of the No. 2 sailboat, the No. 1 ship returned to its normal course with the force of the impact, on the other hand, the No. 2 ship, due to the impact of the No. 1 ship, and the previous adjustment of direction in order to avoid the No. 1 ship, has now completely deviated from the course.
"Oh my God, it was so surprising that it was player number two who paid for player number one's mistake. ”
It wasn't just Zheng Yan and Larry Ellison who were surprised, even the commentators at the scene didn't expect this to be the result.
"Okay Larry, don't be depressed. The number two player was just unlucky, and the number one I chose made a series of mistakes, and I think his mentality may have collapsed now. ”
Although the No. 1 ship had returned to its normal course, Zheng Yan no longer had hope for him. This kind of sports competition, relying on luck to win, is not a small probability event at all, but a zero probability event.
"Zheng Yan, if I hadn't pulled you to watch the game temporarily today, and then made a bet with you, I would have suspected that you were doing a black-box operation. Seriously, if I wasn't an atheist, I really doubt that you are an illegitimate child of God. Larry Ellison said with a smile.
The contestants didn't care what the stunned spectators thought, the race was still going on, the second runner also made timely adjustments after being hit, and the first contestant seemed to have adjusted his condition and raised the sails again.
It's just that the two people chosen by Zheng Yan and Larry Ellison don't seem to have good luck, and after the two players adjusted, the wind was less and the sails that had just been raised were lowered again.
After all, people are not machines, due to the unexpected incident just now, both players have consumed more physical strength than the others, although they are both paddling, but the speed of the two boats is obviously much slower.
"Larry, it looks like we have no hope of winning the game. ”
"It doesn't matter, even though the championship is not our choice, we can still tell the winner. ”
Although there are frequent accidents, sailing is a familiar field after all, and sailing is completely new to Zheng Yan, Larry Ellison still doesn't want to fail, at least before the results come out, he doesn't want to admit that he failed.
After all, it was just a private exchange, and the whole race was only 4,000 meters, and the race ended quickly.
"Larry, it looks like the god of luck today is finally on my side. ”
Although the choice of the two was the first and second from the bottom, the first ship still won the second ship by a narrow margin.
"I think this is going to be the worst I've ever had to watch a game. ”
Although he didn't want to accept it, the result came out after all, and Larry Ellison felt helpless in addition to feeling helpless.
"Let's go, my friend is here. ”
Zheng Yan followed Larry Allison's gaze and found that the person who came was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, his heart was suddenly full of excitement.
