Chapter 250: The Winner is King
As Lu Hang guessed, the most impacted player in Daisuke Maeda's rematch was not Yao Aijun, who was at the top of the list. Rather, it is the second and third players ranked behind Yao Aijun.
Maeda's total score in the first four jumps was tightly behind Yao Aijun, and a major mistake in the fifth jump dragged the score to the back.
Now Maeda's sixth jump has a high score of 85 points, and the original fifth jump is not scored, and it is difficult to say whether the winner will be won or lost if he jumps from the new jump.
The second and third ranked players are from Australia and Singapore. In the total score of the first four rounds of the two, Yao Aijun and Maeda have a certain distance.
After Maeda's mistake in the fifth round, the two jumped from third and fifth to second and third.
In particular, Singapore's Lee Xing, who was in third place, felt like he had been hit by a medal in the fifth round, and even with the last jump of the sixth round, he played exceptionally well.
But now Maeda's fifth-round results are not counted, and the rematch is replayed! This is literally taking the medal from his arms!
Unlike Australia, where English is his mother tongue, Singapore's Li Xing speaks Chinese.
Before the venue was announced, he heard the verdict of the appeal. It's just outrageous!
Li Xing immediately smashed the duffel bag in his hand, and the Singapore coaching staff, who were originally hugging and celebrating, also changed their faces.
After Maeda's sixth round of jumping, the high score of 85 points made Li Xing's medal a luxury!
Li Xing, whose face suddenly turned gray, stopped Yao Aijun, who was about to jump on stage for the last time, and his eyes were wide: "Come on!" You have to be steady! You can't let that shameless man stand on the highest podium! That's a shame! ”
Different accents, but the same Chinese, Yao Aijun looked at Li Xing in front of him, but he and He Tao, who could not stand here, unexpectedly overlapped.
Yao Aijun glanced at him, didn't speak, turned around and got on the jumping platform.
The sixth round, the last jump of this three-meter springboard event. Yao Aijun's highest difficulty this time is 5156b, and the difficulty coefficient is 39.
At this moment, he was extremely calm.
He has walked through so many arenas and encountered so many unexpected situations; I've succeeded and failed......
However, there used to be so many and so many things, and it has become a habit. It's been a long, long time since he's seen the expectations that others have placed on him.
Just like Shen Duo, who once took the gold medal from his hands during the National Games, that kind of motivation comes from the burden on his shoulders and the responsibility delivered by his teammates.
He has always done his best, and he has stood at the highest, but he has never taken any responsibility!
He used to be ungregarious, and even if he did his best, he still didn't be a captain. I used to think that I was not good enough, and I used to think that it was the prejudice of others, or the partiality of human feelings.
And now, something has changed for him.
After being reborn, he paid attention to more people and things around him, and it turned out that he could bear the hopes and expectations of others!
Now, his last jump.
He wants to do his best, not only because of his first international competition after his rebirth, but also for He Tao, who was rejected from the arena, and for Li Xing, who was squeezed out of third place......
He wants others to see that there is no need to rematch, no need to argue, the real "winner is king" is not the king because it is the "winner", but also because the "king" will win!
In the huge arena, the lights are so shining, but everyone's eyes are only focused on one point!
The three-meter springboard is fluttering, and the azure pool reflects the entire venue.
The person who rises high is like a bird flapping its wings and soaring, the highest point flips and jumps, falls from the sky, and throws itself into the blue sky, like a bird throwing itself into the blue sky.
5156b, churning for two and a half weeks and turning for three weeks of flexion.
This is an incomparably complex and fancy movement, under Yao Aijun's movements, it is as light as a dance, but it adds a bit of strength to the beauty.
Approaching the water, Yao Aijun's movements have been opened into a standard water entry posture.
He knew that there were no mistakes in this jump, and he had to do his best at the last moment.
The moment the folded hands pressed on the surface of the water, it was as if the magic power was released in an instant.
The surface of the water became incomparably soft and friendly, and the figure in the water instantly sank to the bottom.
There are two worlds underwater, one above the other, and once in the water, it becomes incredibly quiet. The tiles under the water were cold to the touch, which made Yao Aijun feel excited.
The last jump, that's the end of it!
Yao Aijun sank underwater, and he didn't want to go up for a while, so he could enjoy the game for one more second.
I slowly exhaled the breath in my chest under the water, and watched the crystal water bubble rise in front of my eyes, how calm I was when I jumped before, and how happy I am now.
The first place is your own! No problem!
He knows how well he played this jump. Now that it's so quiet underwater, presumably at this moment, He Tao and the others should cheer for themselves, right?!
His six jumps are all over.
At this moment, he sank quietly under the water, reviewing his six jumps today one by one in his mind.
Yes!
Even if Maeda has to make up for it once, what does it matter? In his six jumps, none of them had a chance to surpass!
Yao Aijun kicked the water violently, and the whole person was harvested into a shuttle and floated up.
The moment the water wave was broken, the quiet underwater was suddenly broken.
Yes, just as he thought, the sound of the tsunami on the field swept through the stadium.
The excited voices gradually converged, singing the song "Five-Star Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind", which was not the national anthem but was even more high-spirited. They used their singing to highlight the highest praise from the home crowd.
As soon as Yao Aijun came out of the water, Coach Zhang and the assistant coach pounced on him, hugged him fiercely and rubbed him.
“1014!!!!” Zhang Changqing yelled in his ear!
"Win! We won!!! ”
Of course, Yao Aijun's results in the first few jumps have always been at the top of the list, but the feeling of dust settlement is different from the end of all six jumps.
The coaches and staff who were in the infield were excited.
Yes, we got a player to the race, but we were still champions!
At this time, Daisuke Maeda, who was jumping behind them, no one cared about it for a long time. After all, Yao Aijun's high score has already pulled him down by a full 100 points, and Maeda's 307c jump is definitely not 100 points!
Champion!! It has been generated!
The cheering crowd was already excited, and everyone sang the songs they could think of over and over again. Thanks to the national education of this era, no matter where the audience came from all over the country, those songs became the most common language for everyone.
From "Five-Star Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind" to "Yellow River Cantata" to "My Motherland", the unique melody of that era made all the Chinese hearts beating at this moment immersed in joy and could not extricate themselves.
On the other side, Daisuke Maeda, who is about to take the stage to make the final jump.
The noise on the court was louder than in the fifth round, but at this time, he could no longer complain about the noisy game environment!
This jump, he must have no hesitation!
Coach Takahashi stood beside him, stiff face, back straight: "Go, Maeda." Last jump, don't be influenced by these people! Your future lies ahead! ”
"Yes, Coach."
Maeda understands that the highest goal of this competition, the gold medal, is already an impossible task.
What he has to do is to do his best, and then carry the imprint of this competition and go on! (To be continued.) )
