The cultural differences of each country are very large, which makes each country have a lot of differences in personality and expression. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But this difference is not immutable, some things can break this difference and eliminate this estrangement, Tang Hao shot 680 rings, obviously one of them.
The audience was celebrating with wild cheers.
Tang Hao smiled and waved to the audience, and then walked straight towards the rest area.
He was not as excited as Park Tae-an showed in the morning, but more flat and relieved.
Fortunately, it played at a normal level.
Li Haoze and Zheng Zhun rushed up and shouted, as if the Koreans next door couldn't hear it.
Tian Zhenzhe didn't stop this time, and sat there smirking vigorously.
At this time, the most ugly look was Park Tae-an of the Korean team, his body was constantly trembling, and his eyes looked at Tang Hao with resentment, as if his lips were about to bite and bleed.
Oh Jeon Tae looked at Park Tae-an and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
These newcomers are still a long way from being fully matured.
With the end of the last group of qualifying, the qualifying round of men's archery for this year's Youth Olympics has come to an end.
Tang Hao became the most surprising player, his qualifying results of 680 rings not only made him beat Park Taean to become the first player in the qualifying round, but also helped the Chinese team successfully break into the knockout round at the last moment, and the total score of 1916 rings ranked 8th among all teams, an absolute counterattack.
The audience was still immersed in Tang Hao's amazing performance, but the teams from various countries soon left the arena one after another, and the players who missed the team competition can relax and be spectators for a day tomorrow, and the teams that broke into the team competition also need to go back early to prepare for tomorrow's team competition knockout round.
China's opponent in the next round is Nigeria, which is ranked 9th.
Somewhat similar to the situation of the Chinese team, Nigeria also broke into the knockout stage with an excellent score of 660 rings in Birom.
The duel between the two teams can actually be seen as Tang Hao's personal duel of Birom.
Against Nigeria and Birom, this made Tang Hao's heart fluctuate uncontrollably.
You must know that when he fell off the cliff before being reborn, he was hunting with a mercenary leader named Birom.
Such an encounter has a feeling of being destined in the dark.
When he returned to the Olympic Village to rest, Tian Zhenzhe put the focus of his work on Zheng Zhun's psychological adjustment, and he really had a set, and after some exchanges, he could clearly feel that Zheng Zhun's mentality was relaxed.
The match between China and Nigeria was played in the afternoon, and the first to fourth teams in the qualifying round were played in the morning.
Tian Zhenzhe did not arrange training in the morning, but took the players to the arena to be spectators.
The first to play was South Korea, who were against Bhutan.
Bhutan is a small country, but they use archery as their national skill, and it is already quite good to be able to break into the knockout round.
However, it was their most unfortunate thing to meet a strong South Korean team in the first round.
The South Korean team showed their strong dominance in the first round, shooting a disparity of 58:49 in the first game, and a full ring score of 60 rings in the second game, and finally eliminated the Bhutan team with a score of 6-0 and broke into the next round.
When the players left the field at the end of the game, Park Tae-an noticed the Chinese team in the stands and cast a defiant look at them.
According to the rules of the competition, South Korea's opponent in the next round will be the winner between the eighth and ninth in qualifying, that is, the winner between China and Nigeria.
This gaze is a kind of show-off, as if to say, I'm already waiting for you here, and whether you're qualified to compete with me or not depends on your own ability.
"Damn, Koreans are so arrogant!" Li Haoze cursed.
Tang Hao smiled when he saw it, and followed unceremoniously, replying with a thumbs down disdainful action.
Park Tae-an's eyes were fixed, but because he was on the field, he didn't dare to go back with a single move, so he turned his head with a cold snort.
"Haha, Tang Hao, you are too powerful. Li Haoze said with a laugh after seeing it.
"Okay, now that we've seen the game, it's time to go back and prepare for the afternoon's game. Tian Zhenzhe didn't blame after seeing it, but just reminded him.
"Okay!" Zheng Zhun and Li Haoze responded, pulling Tang Hao to stand up from the stands.
At the end of the knockout round in the morning, the four strong teams of South Korea, Germany, Italy and Russia all broke into the quarterfinals, and they waited to see the afternoon game to determine their opponents.
"The Nigerian team is not very strong, but everyone has to give it their all, play at their training level, and don't have a mental burden, this time the Youth Olympic Games have no goal. Before the afternoon game, Tian Zhenzhe once again relieved the pressure on the players.
The team members nodded, and after Tian Zhenzhe stretched out his hand, the team members put their hands on it one after another, shouting "Chinese team, come on!", and then walked towards the field.
There were quite a lot of overseas Chinese in the afternoon game, at least seven or eight hundred people, Singapore is located in South Asia, and the number of overseas Chinese is one of the largest overseas.
Overseas Chinese held high the words "Come on the Chinese team", and many spectators had Chinese flags tattooed on their faces.
The appearance of the Chinese team immediately attracted a burst of cheers from overseas Chinese, waving the five-star red flag and a long banner in their hands, giving the Chinese team a feeling of fighting at home.
Tang Hao's emotions also became faintly excited with the atmosphere of the scene.
This is what it feels like to fight for the country.
China's national strength has increased greatly after the reform and opening up, and overseas Chinese are also all over the world.
Zheng Zhun and Li Haoze were also emotional, and couldn't help but reach out and wave their arms at the overseas Chinese.
This also attracted a burst of cheers from overseas Chinese.
Of course, this was just an episode in the game, and once the players from both sides entered the playing field, the knockout round began.
The rules of the Youth Olympic Games knockout rounds are the same as those of the National Championships, with six rounds of six arrows each, with each competitor shooting two arrows per round, alternating between competitions and determining the winner based on the final total number of rings.
The order of appearance of the Chinese team is Li Haoze, Zheng Zhun, and Tang Hao.
On the Nigerian side, Birom also played in the finale.
After seeing that both sides were ready, the referee then signaled for the game to begin.
Tian Zhenzhe arranged Li Haoze to take the lead, but he also took a fancy to his courage, and he finally lived up to expectations, shooting an excellent result of 18 rings with two arrows in the first game, suppressing the opposing Nigerian player.
It was Zheng Zhun who was the weak ring of the Chinese team, and after Tian Zhenzhe's persuasion, his mentality was also adjusted, and the two arrows and 17 rings also showed his training level.
After four arrows, the Chinese team temporarily led by 3 rings at 35-32 in the first game.
The last players of the two teams to appear on the court, and the most eye-catching players in this round of matchups, Tang Hao and Kennedar Birom.
