Chapter 39: Pressure
After days of rain and sleeplessness, it was easy to stop for a night, and on the morning of the day of the game, it was down again.
The time for the players to enter was one o'clock in the afternoon, but Kong Yixian still came to the archery hall early, and after a pre-game warm-up, he had to prepare things.
Kong Yixian adjusted her crosshairs, and for now, her condition is still good.
With Lu Shan by her side last night and a good night's sleep, her mood is okay now, but after two hours, her uneasiness and nervousness spread in her heart again.
Chang Yi noticed that she took a deep breath from time to time, frowned slightly and asked her not to practice for now, "The afternoon is the competition, the mentality is more important than the practice, take it easy, it's just a small business competition." ”
Kong Yixian obediently put down the bow, unloaded the balance bar, and then packed up the arrows used in the game, and it was time to set off after having lunch at eleven o'clock.
Lin Nengjin didn't play games to disturb her today, but was unusually quiet, Liang Fei wanted to stay to see the store, and patted Kong Yixian on the shoulder to show encouragement, "This game will be very interesting, Sister Yixian, don't you want to let the people of our city team be slapped in the face." ”
Thinking of Coach Wu of the city team and Ke Ji, the captain of Lin Neng's good strength, Kong Yixian was unspeakably nervous again, but everyone encouraged her so enthusiastically, how could she be embarrassed to make everyone worry.
After a hasty meal and getting into the car, Chang Yi and Lin Nengjin helped Kong Yixian with a bow and arrow, the three people in the car did not speak, and the window wipers swayed rhythmically, like a clock, urging Kong Yixian's heartbeat.
The venue of this competition is not large, and it does not look luxurious, but as long as you pay attention to those advertising signs, you can see that in fact, the organizer is a very powerful company, and most of the partners are in the sports industry.
With such a professional undertaking and a warm-up on the eve of the championship, the invited players will naturally not be weak.
Their team came relatively early, and there were only a few people training in the venue, and Chang Yi seemed to be hiding again, but this time with Lin Nengjin, he wouldn't let Lao Chang hide in the dark.
For Lin Nengjin's domineering detention, Kong Yixian was grateful from the bottom of her heart, took out a bow and arrow from her bag, picked a remote track and started warming up.
There were a few people in the venue who were still confirming the layout of the venue, and when they saw Chang Yi and Lin Nengjin, they naturally walked over to talk a few words out of hospitality for each participating team.
In front of outsiders, Chang Yi can be said to be very polite, which makes Lin Nengjin a little unaccustomed, and after the organizer left, he hooked his neck and smiled, "Eh, old man, the people who do business by themselves are different, just the attitude you just had, who will believe it." ”
Chang Yi also smiled and shook off his arm, "As long as you believe it." ”
Just as the two of them were watching Kong Yixian's warm-up practice, there was a commotion at the entrance, and it was Coach Wu who came in with his city team. Oh, these people are all here to cheer for the captain Ke Ti?
When he saw Coach Wu, Chang Yi subconsciously blocked Kong Yixian, he didn't want Kong Yixian to affect his mood when he saw Coach Wu, but it didn't make much sense for him to do so, if he didn't see it at this time, could he still avoid the game for a while.
As the captain of the provincial team, Lin Nengjin naturally has the ability to show off his might in front of a group of small minions of the city team. He also noticed Coach Wu's eyes looking at this side, and deliberately raised his eyebrows to salute him, what happened to him, the captain of the provincial team, standing with the former national player who was removed?
Kong Yixian just finished adjusting her crosshairs, and when she turned around, she also saw the huge city team, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart, can a commercial game be fully dispatched, but she finally saw that Ke Ji.
Although he has a misleading name, he himself does not disappoint. It was a bit of a struggle for a not very tall man to carry a bow and quiver, and even if he stood at the front of the crowd, he didn't have much presence.
But Kong Yixian didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, he was also the captain, and Liang Fei also said that this Ke Ji is quite crazy, such a person is really uncomfortable.
Coach Wu glanced at Kong Yixian and Chang Yi, and was glared back by Lin Nengjin, and said something in Ke Ji's ear with a bad face, and Ke Ji's eyes were indeed crazy.
Lin Nengjin didn't miss this little look, but he only thought it was funny, "Hey, he still dares to be crazy, who is himself, isn't it common?"
Chang Yi ignored him, turned his head and asked Kong Yixian to hand over the bow and arrow to the nuclear inspection office.
In every competition of archery, the bows, arrows, glasses, and protective gear brought by the players need to be sent to the nuclear inspection department for review to confirm that there is no suspicion of cheating and quality problems before they can be used for the competition.
The staff of the nuclear inspection department seemed to be a little surprised after receiving the bow carefully handed over by Kong Yixian, "Yo, you are really bloody, what a good bow." ”
Kong Yixian actually didn't know the value of this bow, so she just responded politely, but Ke Ji behind him sneered, "Her bow is really good, I don't know if it's worthy of it." ”
These words made the staff of the Nuclear Inspection Department a little embarrassed, and Kong Yixian was naturally not happy, but she didn't want to have any friction with Ke Ji, so she returned to the contestant seat silently.
In this competition, Chang Yi and Lin Nengjin will accompany her, and Kong Yixian is very happy about it.
In the previous two competitions, Chang Yi was afraid that his identity would cause unnecessary disturbances, but Kong Yixian and Liang Fei pitifully did not support on the field, and such a feeling of loneliness and helplessness was really uncomfortable.
Especially this time...... I don't know why, Kong Yixian is very nervous and apprehensive, maybe it's because she has to compete head-on with the captain of the city team, maybe it's because she is too tired from training during this time, or maybe it's because Lin Nengjin's wrist has subconsciously affected her.
In short, her state today is not right, and even looking at the bullseye can't calm her.
This was the first time Lin Nengjin had watched her compete, thinking that it was normal nervousness before the competition. Although Chang Yi noticed it, Kong Yixian's previous games had always been very calm and steady, so he didn't think much about it.
Therefore, Kong Yixian walked onto the field with a mess of emotions, and what was even more unfortunate was that Ke Ji was standing on the track next to her.
This competition is an individual competition, divided into two groups, a group of four people, the old rule is 72 arrows per person, and there is a 10-minute break in the middle.
After getting her bow and arrow back, Kong Yixian stood in front of the track, just looking at Ke Ji's back, and Ke Ji was quite concerned about Kong Yixian's existence, and deliberately looked back at her.
This kind of undisguised contempt and disdain made Kong Yixian calm down a lot, she ignored such a provocation, silently put on the protective gear on her left arm, and looked at the target paper on the left side of her body.
The four of them shot out in turn, Kong Yixian stood in third place, the first two people played well, and when it was her turn, she suppressed the messy little emotions in her heart and completed the first arrow of this competition.
The performance was smooth and the results were good, so if we can keep it up like this, the result of this game will not be bad.
But just in the expectation of Lin Nengjin and Chang Yi, her third arrow missed.
The Seven Rings, although not a major mistake, are not a good result.
However, in the game, it is normal to occasionally shoot a seven ring, so Chang Yi and Lin Nengjin didn't take it to heart.
Instead, Kong Yixian panicked.
Originally, she didn't have to panic about a not too bad grade, but I don't know why, the negative emotions that started yesterday suddenly surged up like a flood at this time, and she couldn't suppress it.
In the competition, the results of each player will be seen by others, Ke Ji looked at the results of the eye, looked back at her, and sneered before starting his own movements.
Seeing his very impolite behavior, Kong Yixian suddenly became angry. He is very idle, isn't it, and he dares to delay two minutes to look at his opponent.
On the playing field, what does it matter to him about other people's results!
Ke Ji on the field looked at Kong Yixian, and Coach Wu on the coach's bench also looked at Chang Yi. Chang Yi naturally ignored him, but Lin Nengjin felt that his eyes were too dazzling.
There is no communication between the coaches of the teams, so Lin Nengjin can only return with his eyes, what's the matter, do you want to say something about a seven ring.
But the next game situation made Lin Nengjin no longer able to be arrogant......
Since that arrow and seven rings, Kong Yixian shot three seven rings in succession, and the abnormal play of four consecutive arrows finally made people unable to sit still, and there was a burst of boos from the audience.
Chang Yi stood up and slapped Kong Yixian to notice him, "Don't be nervous, relax and relax." ”
Kong Yixian nodded in response, but his guidance didn't have much effect.
She was still nervous, and in addition to being nervous, there was also frustration. The contempt from Ke Ji made her very unhappy, it would be good if she could slap her face with her results, but she didn't do well with four arrows in a row.
Even the commotion around her made her feel stressed.
After such a long period of training, she can indeed not care about the interference around her, but the premise is that she does not care subjectively, but now she cares very much about the reaction of others, which is very scary.
But the game had just begun, and she couldn't mess with herself, so Kong Yixian took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.
Fortunately, the tension on the field brought her back to her state, and the next few arrows were not too much of a problem, especially the results of hitting the bull's-eye were also a great encouragement to herself.
Chang Yi, who was sweating for Kong Yixian, relaxed a little, but his eyes were still staring at her every movement, but from his angle, he couldn't see her expression.
Ke Ji just shot an arrow, nine rings, the style of the game is not low-key, he shouted, although this is allowed by the game, but Kong Yixian, who has always been quiet in archery, is very unaccustomed to it, and can't help frowning.
Her expression was seen by Coach Wu, although he couldn't say anything directly to Kong Yixian, but he could communicate with Ke Ji.
"Ke Ti, keep it up! You're the captain of the professional team, don't worry about the amateur. ”
His words made Lin Nengjin feel funny, and a city team was still on display? What is an amateur, who does he call an amateur?
Kong Yixian also has the same slander, but there is one thing she really can't refute, strictly speaking, she is indeed an amateur, because she does not have an athlete certificate.
But she was still a little annoyed, because in addition to her, Chang Yi could only be said to be an amateur.
was deprived of his athlete qualifications and stood on the coach's seat as an amateur, such a situation was already very cruel to Chang Yi, although Lin Nengjin deliberately let him get rid of the psychological shadow, but Coach Wu said such words, it was really hurtful.
Coach Wu was talking to his own players, and Chang Yi's team couldn't refute anything at all. Kong Yixian could only shoot back with the results of shooting, but just like the previous performance, when her heart was confused, the arrows she shot would be deflected.
Archery is an unbiased sport, and it is also the sport that best reveals the mood of the athlete.
At this time, Kong Yixian was telling everyone, telling Chang Yi and Lin Nengjin behind her, Coach Wu and Ke Ji who were watching her jokes, and telling the audience of nearly 2,000 people in the stands that her heart was messed up......
