In the position of coach, it is not that whoever wins more medals is a good coach. Many people live on talent and don't mentor others at all.

It's like Pele, who scored more than a thousand goals in football, but he didn't know how to teach anyone, and he didn't guess the game right.

There is also Jordan, the god of basketball, who is no one can compare to him as a player, but he has always been eye-catching when selecting players.

For every retired fencer, it is enough for them to teach some basic skills, including being a sparring partner.

In addition to skills, whether you are wholeheartedly serving your customers, whether you have a lot of relationships with international competitions, international rules, including circles, is actually more important.

If nothing else, Bakker was hired to serve Jonas in this gymnasium. If Jonas were to follow the professional path, he would definitely continue to choose Bakkel as a coach.

The gymnasium includes squash, tennis, rock climbing, and shooting, and fencing is just one of the major sports

Eye.

And most of the training here is for some beginners, and there are almost no skilled hands like Jonas, who are over eighteen years old.

Buckle said: "I chose this fencing gym because of the large number of new players, and the two tracks are often empty. As for the lack of players of the same level, there is no need to worry at all. Your current level has far surpassed that of amateurs, and only professional retired players like Obersdorf and I can work with you as a sparring partner. ”

Obersdorf was very pleased at the first sight of Jonas, who was a standard fencer just by his physical appearance.

"Jonas, how tall are you and what is your arm span?"

"190 tall and almost 200 reach. And I'm still developing, which may not be my final body shape. ”

Obersdorf looked at Jonas's wrist, squeezed his shoulder again, and asked with some confusion: "Are those strength tests real? With Jonas's bones, it should belong to dexterity, it's hard to believe that he has so much strength." ”

Buckle said proudly: "There is absolutely no water at all, and after this half a year of training, in addition to dexterity, his endurance and explosiveness have also increased, and his leg strength has also increased." ”

Jonas raised an eyebrow and said, "I can do three thousand standard frog jumps right now." ”

All three men smiled knowingly, but Nicole didn't understand what they were talking about, thinking that frog jumping training was important in fencing.

He looked at the heavy sword, mask and training uniform that Jonas was carrying. "Okay, change your clothes, let's have a competition first, let me test your level. ”

Jonas looked around, found no place to change clothes, put his things on the stool next to him, and took off his clothes on the spot.

A group of ten-year-olds booed, and a few little girls turned around in embarrassment.

Bakker smiled, patted Jonas and said, "Don't disturb the others, go to the locker room and change clothes." ”

Jonas squeezed his eyes at Nicole, who was interrupted as soon as she saw Jonas show off her strong abs. Seeing Jonas winking eyes at her, Deng felt embarrassed.

Jonas triumphantly walked to the locker room with his fencing suit in his arms, causing Nicole to snort a few times before laughing himself.

Fencing suits are mainly made of high-performance textile fibers, which are composite non-woven fabrics, which are also used to make body armor.

It's safe, but it's definitely uncomfortable to wear on when it's hot.

After changing into his clothes, Jonas returned to the grounds, where he put on a conductive metal suit.

The epee movement is a complete stabbing weapon, and only the tip of the sword is effective, and the blade is not effective.

The effective parts of the hit include the torso, legs, feet, hands and arms, and the helmet, which is the whole body. And unlike foil and sabre, epee is effective on every hit.

If both teams hit each other within a quarter of a second, each team gets one hit.

Therefore, epee matches require a high degree of accuracy, and the best opportunity to attack the opponent is often when the opponent starts to attack.

The tip of the sword they use is equipped with red and green light detectors, respectively, and when it comes into contact with the metal cloak, the tip of the sword will produce a beam of strong light when the hit occurs.

Fencing competitions are divided into individual and team competitions. The individual competition adopts the group round-robin system and the direct elimination system, and the team competition directly adopts the single-elimination system.

Each match in the direct knockout tournament is played with 15 swords per set, and the game time is 9 minutes.

Each set is divided into 3 sets of 3 minutes each, with a 1-minute break between rounds. If an athlete hits 15 swords or 9 minutes of time, the athlete with the most swords wins.

If there is a tie at the end of the allotted time, an extra minute will be played. In the play-off, the athlete who hits the first sword wins by taking the method of sudden death.

Jonas is now playing with Bakker in training, from winning less and losing more to winning and losing less. This is also the biggest motivation for Buckle to be bent on taking Jonas on the professional path.

He has only been retired for a few years, and his current level is a little lower than when he was at his peak, and it is not much lower. Jonas is now at the same level as he used to be.

Jonas is only 18 years old, and his competition experience cannot be compared to him, if he trains professionally for another two years and adds some major tournament experience, he believes that Jonas will be even better than he was at his peak.

Jonas warmed up on the side of the track, while Obersdorf organized the children to watch the race. There was a regular game to watch, and those little children were elated one by one.

Hearing that there was a competition here, many parents and children who had signed up also came to watch the excitement, and the fencing hall was filled in a short time.

After about five minutes of exercise, Jonas started his physical activity and the two men came to the track.

Bakker helped the two of them plug in the wires and smiled, "Jonas, defeat Obersdorf and show him what you're capable of." ”

Although Obersdorf has a lot of experience, he was very capable at his peak. But he retired earlier than Bakker, and now he is not as good as the eighteen-year-old Jonas in all aspects except experience.

He put on a mask and said with a smile, "If you can beat me, I will only be happy for you." Hope you don't let me down. ”

Jonas smiled: "Psychological pressure is useless to me, Oberstorf, let me see the strength of your former world champion!"

Jonas has this self-confidence, his strength, explosiveness, dexterity, stamina, and bounce are all stronger than the average person.

The only thing worse than the other party is experience, but after half a year of training with Buckle, even if the experience is a little worse, he is confident to beat the other party.

The two men put on their masks, Jonas holding the sword in his right hand and Obersdorf in his left, and the two raised their swords up, stood close to each other, and collided lightly.

When the game began, the otherwise noisy stadium fell silent.

Jonas's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and was the first to attack. His pace is fast, and his sword is equally fast. Obersdorf had not yet gotten used to Jonas's speed in the first game, when he was stabbed in the elbow by Jonas with a sword, and Jonas scored a point first.

The students and parents who watched the game applauded, but the game continued, and the voices soon calmed down.

Unfamiliar with Jonas's style of play, Obersdorf adopted a late-strike tactic and began to defend, looking for loopholes in Jonas's attack.

His pace has slowed down, but now he's spacing his strides and increasing the frequency of his movements.

Jonas has a longer arm span than the average person, and he is nearly six centimeters narrower than Obersdorf's shoulders compared to Obersdorf, who has only 194 arm spans.

The body is six centimeters narrower, and the force area is much smaller. Originally, the arm span was six centimeters long, and the body was six centimeters narrower, a total of twelve centimeters.

Removing the length of the fingers, it is equal to the reach of Jonas in one arm, which has an advantage of almost five centimeters.

Don't underestimate the five-centimeter advantage, which is a very big advantage in fencing.

It was also by virtue of this advantage that Jonas scored five points in a row, although he couldn't see Obersdorf's face clearly through the mask, but when he thought about it, he was afraid that he felt embarrassed at this moment.

He's an Olympic champion, a world champion, albeit with a preface. But in front of so many people, being scored by Jonas in a row, the face must have been lost.

Although Nicole doesn't understand the rules of fencing, fencing is a very pretentious sport, and all the rules are closer to elegance.

Seeing Jonas show a male charm, he unconsciously indulged in it.

When the fifth point was in hand, Jonas couldn't help but get distracted by the smug smile on the face of Bakker, who was the referee, and then Obersdorf finally got a point.

Fencing is a sport that requires a lot of concentration, and the speed at which each excellent player stabs out the sword from the elbow is about 0.3 seconds, and players who have not been trained to dodge are basically unable to dodge.

Even with training, it's hard to dodge. You can only rely on your nimble feet to keep moving, as well as the ability to dodge with anticipation.

Compared to boxing, fencing requires more flexibility and a lower center of gravity.

A little distracted, either unable to dodge, or losing the center of gravity, let the opponent score.

After scoring a point, Obersdorf's attack was even more intense, and he had already realized that Jonas had too little experience in anticipation and knew that he was wrong to take the lead and took the initiative.

At this time, Jonas's flaws are exposed, and he is easily confused by the opponent's feints.

In many cases, even if you can score, you will give points to the other party.

At the end of the first game, Jonas won 15-10, mainly because of the five-point advantage at the beginning.

In the second game, Jonas still couldn't solve the problem of prediction, and many of his moves were useless, but Obersdorf's moves were refined to the extreme.

At the end of the game, he lost 13-15.

Since Obersdorf pulled back a game, he immediately took off his mask, wiped his sweat and said: "If the third game is not matched, it will be regarded as a draw." ”

The students and parents booed, laughing at him for not being able to afford to lose.

He didn't care, he raised his sword and smiled: "You let me compare the endurance of a forty-year-old with an eighteen-year-old child, it's too me." ”

Fencing seems to be just moving back and forth, stabbing and dodging, as if it is very easy, but in fact it requires a very high level of concentration and physical support.

And this kind of concentration and constant flashing, controlling the center of gravity, is very tiring.

After taking a big sip of water, he turned to Jonas, who was jokingly talking to Nicole, and said, "Jonas, believe me, you are a talented fencer. ”
