After all the competitors entered, the semi-finals of the men's group of the National Archery Championships officially began. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first to carry out the qualifying round ranked second between the G provincial team and the third ranked Macau team, the two teams are of equal strength, the game has been anxious until the end, at the critical moment Cao Yan played the role of a star player, with 2 arrows and 10 rings in a row, and finally helped G province narrowly defeat the Macau team with a difference of 226 to 225 rings, and advanced to the final.
The exciting duel in the first group was like a powerful appetizer, which made the emotions of the audience extraordinarily high, and the next match between the strongest province S and the biggest dark horse province in the men's group made the audience look forward to it more and more.
There was a ten-minute gap between each group of matches in the final stage, and the usual fleeting time became unusually long at this moment, and under the eyes of the spectators looking forward to the stars and the moon, the players from Province S and Province Z finally took the stage.
The scene erupted in cheers.
"It's finally out, although it's only the semi-finals, but this game, because of the existence of Tang Hao of the S provincial team and the Z provincial team, makes people look forward to it, and the attention brought by this game is even more exciting than the finals. In the broadcast room of CCTV, Yang Jian, a well-known sports commentator, said emotionally.
"This game is indeed very worth looking forward to, S province has Qiu Tian and Han Tianfu two main forces this year, in the eighths and quarters of the finals have eliminated the opponent cleanly, and now the semi-finals meet this competition is known as the 'biggest dark horse' Z provincial team, whether it can defend the title, whether it can achieve three consecutive championships in history, it really makes people pay special attention. Next to Yang Jian, Zhao Qiuhe, who is over 50 years old and the former captain of the national men's archery team and the vice president of the National Archery Association, said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, there is also Tang Hao from Z Province, this young player who came out of nowhere, beat Han Tianfu, Cao Yan, Qiu Tian and other famous players in yesterday's qualifying match, and reached the top strongly, and what kind of performance he has today is also very exciting. Yang Jian added.
"Xiao Yang, you are wrong, maybe you don't know much about archery competitions, and you don't know the difference between qualifying and finals. As soon as Yang Jian's words fell, Zhao Qiuhe shook his head and said.
"What does Old Zhao mean?" Yang Jian didn't expect Zhao Qiuhe to suddenly say this, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Archery is a sport that focuses on improvisation. Zhao Qiuhe said proudly, "The qualifying match reflects more of the state of the players, just like you said Tang Hao, although I didn't watch it yesterday, but this kind of thing where young players hit the ground running in the qualifying match is not unheard of in the past history, and there are quite a few, but ......"
Zhao Qiuhe said with a sharp change: "The real finals and qualifying are not the same, in the finals of the team competition, only with a strong psychological quality, can you become the final winner, just like Qiu Tian, Han Tianfu such experienced players, in the finals will have an absolute advantage, I put it another way, a 100 ability player, play 60% ability, is not comparable to a 90 ability, but play 100% strength player, this Tang Hao may have a very good future, but it will not be in this competition." ”
"But...... Tang Hao played very well in the morning knockout round, and he ......"
"Eh~" Zhao Qiuhe didn't wait for Yang Jian to finish speaking, he directly stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said, "Do you think that the S province with Qiu Tian and Han Tianfu can be compared to teams like X Province and Y Province? ”
Although Yang Jian still wanted to refute, Zhao Qiuhe was the former captain of the national team after all, and he really argued in the studio, so he said in a different tone: "Well, Zhao Lao's analysis is very reasonable, so let's see how the two teams will play on the spot in a head-on confrontation." ”
"Hehe~" Zhao Qiuhe smiled, hearing Yang Jian's unconvincing heart, he shook his head with a smile.
Just when the two people in the studio were discussing fiercely, the players from Province S and Province Z had already entered the competition venue one after another.
The team competition, as the name suggests, looks at the combined strength of a team of three people.
A good player can raise the ceiling of the whole team, but it is the performance of the whole team that feels that the lower limit of the team.
Because the team competition is a one-on-one competition, the order of appearance has a considerable impact on the team's performance, and each team will be very cautious in arranging the formation.
Among the three positions, the third player is the most important, because in high-level competition, after two players play each other, there is likely to be a draw, or the score is very close, and the third player becomes the winner of the game.
On the side of Province Z, Song Feng fulfilled his promise to Tang Hao and arranged him to appear in the third place.
In the remaining two positions, Dong Jie, who played more steadily yesterday, was arranged to be the first to play, and Pan Yu automatically became the second player.
On the side of S Province, the order of one to three is Ning Huanyu, Qiu Tian and Han Tianfu.
The team competition consists of 4 rounds, each round is 4 minutes, and each player shoots 2 arrows alternately according to the order of appearance, a total of 6 arrows, and the one with the most rings wins after 4 rounds.
The first to appear are Ning Huanyu and Dong Jie, two veterans known for their stability.
As the players were ready, the audience also quieted down and looked at the field with bated breath.
Ning Huanyu took the lead in shooting, a veteran who is over 30 years old, and shot an excellent result of 17 rings, making a good start to this game.
After Ning Huanyu finished shooting, it was Dong Jie, he took a deep breath and went on the field, and also shot 2 arrows and 17 rings under pressure, which caused a burst of cheers at the scene.
As soon as the competition began, the atmosphere was already ignited.
After two arrows, the two sides were tied, followed by Qiu Tian and Pan Yu.
The arrangement of the appearance order of S Province was a bit unexpected, but Qiu Anguo arranged Qiu Tian to play in the second game, obviously hoping to establish a lead earlier.
Qiu Tian really deserves to be the No. 1 shooter in domestic archery, both arrows are 9 rings hit, and the results of 18 rings also attracted a burst of exclamations from the audience.
After 4 arrows, the total number of rings in Province S is 35, which is a pretty good result and also reflects the absolute strength of the defending champions.
On the side of Province Z, Pan Yu followed.
After Song Feng's private talk yesterday, although Pan Yu's mentality is still a little fluctuating, it is much better than yesterday.
After the two players PK, Province S led Province Z by 2 rings at 35-33.
The two sides entered the last contestant in the first round, and Tang Hao and Han Tianfu appeared one after another.
"Tang Hao is on the field. In the studio, Yang Jian said with some excitement.
