Chapter 37: Robin Hood
Tang Hao's second arrow, his movements are still stable, and the parabola of the arrow is also perfect, but the landing point is slightly off, and the final ring number is fixed at 9 rings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tang Hao, who finished shooting, couldn't help but pout, with his current strength, it was still a little difficult to stabilize the arrow at 10 rings.
Qiu Tian played.
It's his chance, he's still one ring behind, and if he can hit 10 rings, he'll tie the score.
The audience all looked at the field with bated breath, for fear that making a little noise would affect Qiu Tian's performance.
Qiu Tian's movements were perfect, and the parabola was comparable to Tang Hao's previous arrow, but the landing point of the arrow went down significantly, and his final ring number was fixed at 8 rings, and the number of backward rings changed from 1 ring to 2 rings.
He couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the number of targets, and he could see that he was very depressed.
In fact, this is normal, Tang Hao, who has obtained Li Guangqicheng's strength, can't stabilize 10 rings, so he naturally can't do it.
The last arrow.
Seeing that Tang Hao was ready to shoot arrows, the audience's faces unconsciously showed a faint expectation.
With only one arrow left, his lead is already 2 rings, and as long as this arrow hits at least 8 rings, he will not lose the match, and based on his previous performances, the probability of this happening is extremely low.
In other words, they are likely to witness the birth of a new national archery champion after the next arrow.
After Tang Hao took a pose, he pulled out the last arrow from the quiver.
Qiu Tian looked at him with a slightly nervous expression, at this time, whether he still had a chance to shoot the last arrow depended on Tang Hao's arrow.
Tang Hao took a breath, then wound the arrow, and after pre-pulling the full string, he then aimed at the arrow target in the distance.
During the break between each round, there will be a special staff member to clean the arrows on the target, which means that there will only be a maximum of 3 arrows on the target during the competition.
Because this is the last arrow of this round, at this time, there are 2 arrows left by him after shooting before, one arrow 9 rings and one arrow 10 rings.
Because the previous arrow was a little down, he lifted the crosshairs of the arrow up slightly, held his breath, and then let go.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow burst through the air with a sound and shot straight towards the center of the target.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
There was no expected cheering at the scene, but a stunned audience.
This arrow did not hit the bull's-eye directly, but hit the first arrow! and then directly exploded the arrow that was originally inserted in it......
In 2010, unlike now, most of the arrows used in the competition are carbon arrows, and the fastness is not as strong as it is now.
The referee on the sidelines saw this scene, signaled for the game to be suspended, and then ran to the target to watch.
The scene immediately fell into a burst of discussion, which is not common in a game.
"Robin Hood!"
Just as the discussion was rampant, the referee raised his hand to the technical table and shouted.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Tian Zhenzhe stood up from the judges' seat suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Robin Hood, a hero of English folklore, known as the Earl of Huntington, is a well-known thief in Britain, and there are many novels with him as the protagonist, and it is widely circulated, and even now there is Robin Hood's popular clothing brand, is one of the most well-known historical figures in Britain.
Robin Hood, a thief, robbed the rich and helped the poor, acted chivalrous and righteous, and even helped the royal prince to restore the throne.
Modern archery originated in England, and it is for this reason that there is a technical term "Robin Hood" that is the most beautiful word for archery in archery terminology.
In archery, the player's second arrow hits the previous arrow, splits it in two, and scores on the target, which is Robin Hood.
Tang Hao's arrow just now exploded the previous arrow, and the referee observed that the landing point of the arrow after that was within the range of 10 rings, that is, this is an undisputed Robin Hood.
It is no wonder that Tian Zhenzhe was shocked like that, this is an extremely rare scene in an archery competition.
And with the appearance of Robin Hood, the final result of the competition also came out, and Tang Hao won the individual championship of this competition.
Because Qiu Tian still had an arrow, the original restless emotions at the scene were calmed down by the field control.
Qiu Tian's last arrow.
Although the victory and defeat were divided, he still completed the last arrow seriously.
With one arrow and 9 rings, he also finished the game.
By the time this arrow hit the target, the cheers at the scene could not be suppressed, and the excited roar of the audience seemed to shock the entire venue.
Not only did they witness the birth of a new champion, but this champion ended the contest with a rare Robin Hood in the final moments, which was the perfect performance.
If it weren't for the difference of more than two meters between the stands and the arena, the audience in the front row probably couldn't help but rush down excitedly to take a photo with him.
Qiu Tian on the side also stretched out his hand to applaud him.
Losing to such an opponent has no regrets for the former domestic archery No. 1.
Tang Hao felt the enthusiasm of the audience, and also raised his bow and arrow, smiling and waving to the audience.
The cheers from the audience were even louder.
At this moment, Tang Hao seems to be the most eye-catching focus in the venue.
Even the players next door who were preparing for the women's finals were looking up, and Zhang Juan unconsciously gave him a thumbs up.
And it is worth mentioning that in Tang Hao's final and Qiu Tian's competition, 12 arrows shot a super result of 116 rings, breaking the 115-ring domestic archery final record that had been held for ten years in one fell swoop.
The women's competition continues, but after this day, the name Tang Hao is no longer only known in a place like Zhedong Province.
The words Robin Hood and 116 Rings, like a shadow, together with the name Tang Hao, dominated the headlines of major sports media and newspapers.
This is a catharsis, but also an emotion, people need someone to recapture the sport that originally belonged to the Chinese, Tang Hao's birth, is undoubtedly a good outlet, especially the 2010 Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou soon, more and more exciting.
The media knows people's psychology, and the publicity is also increasing, which is completely different from the concept of Zhang Juan winning the Olympic Games or Qiu Tian Championship, it represents a new possibility, just like Liu Shen at the beginning.
However, before Tang Hao had time to pay attention to these, he was taken to the National Archery Association by Song Feng.
Here he met the man who was going to see him today.
A Chinese face, radiant eyes, looking in his forties.
The middle-aged man who summoned him in front of him is the former head coach of the Kyoto women's archery team, the head coach of the current national archery team, and Tian Zhenzhe, who is well-known in the field of archery.
