Chapter 299: Return to the Light

It is inevitable that China will play dead in the coming week, but the return to the light before pretending to be dead still gives Wu Jie some comfort, and his mission can be completed ahead of schedule.

Originally, the most regrettable event in this Olympic Games was naturally the high jump competition of world record holder Zhu Jianhua.

In China's early days, many voices on the Internet who didn't know where to come out actually questioned that Zhu Jianhua's world record was obtained by falsifying it in China.

Their reason is that Zhu Jianhua can't get results as soon as he goes abroad, so it must be a domestic competition!

China! Socialism! What a disgusting thing you can't do!

But in fact, this is the most typical reliance on opaque information to spread rumors, anyway, it may not be useful to spread rumors with one mouth and break your legs to refute rumors.

In fact, Zhu's personal record came at an international competition in Eberstadt, West Germany, exactly two months before the Olympics, when six of the world's top 10 players in the event came.

At this time, Zhu Jianhua personally broke the world record created by himself in such an event, and the gold content was naturally very high, so the Chinese media and officials at that time thought that this gold medal in the high jump was the most stable piece of this Olympic Games.

But it is undeniable that Zhu Jianhua's psychological quality is indeed not top-notch, and he has been suffering from insomnia before the Olympic Games, resulting in a decline in physical strength and poor condition.

The most painful thing was that there was an unexpected situation in the race - when Zhu Jianhua was about to try to jump a key height, British middle-distance runner Sebastian Coe fell on his running line during the race, and the referee stopped the trial jump at that time, which completely disrupted his rhythm.

But this plane is different, Zhu Jianhua's attention is not a little worse than that of international superstars such as Wu Jie and Luda, especially after the birth of Olympic stars such as Shen Lang, Li Ning, and Wu Xiaoxuan, Zhu Jianhua's attention is even lower.

This may not be a good thing for Zhu Jianhua, but it also makes the pressure on his back much less, plus Wu Jie used a platinum card for him to adjust his state before the game, this high jump competition on the tenth competition day, Zhu Jianhua has the time, people, and competitive state to challenge the new record.

That was enough for him to set a new record, as the 21-year-old was at the peak of his athleticism and was at his best on the day of the race, so he jumped on his first attempt when he reached a height of 2.36 meters.

This height was a world record that could not be climbed two years ago, but as the creator and holder of the 2.39m world record, Zhu Jianhua faced this height with ease when he was in excellent form, and achieved a height that most opponents could not reach in one go.

Only West Germany's Daemmar Mögenburg and Sweden's Patrick Sjoberg managed to reach that height on the second and third attempts, respectively.

At this time, according to the rules of high jump, if the competition ended here, Zhu Jianhua would have won the championship because he had the least number of attempts.

So Delmar Mergenberg and Patrick Sjobo were forced to choose 2.38 meters, which is second only to the world record, and if they can jump over this height and Zhu Jianhua can't, then the champion will be one of them.

But it's not a height that cats and dogs can challenge, with Delmar Mergenberg and Patrick Sjobo both failing in all three attempts.

At this point, the competition is over, but Zhu Jianhua still has a chance to continue to challenge himself, he can continue to compete according to the lifting plan announced before the race, and he can choose to take off from any height.

Of course, Zhu Jianhua will no longer choose a height lower than his own record, and he chose a new record of 2.40 meters to challenge.

Wu Jie is very optimistic about Zhu Jianhua's self-challenge, because at this moment, the victory and defeat have been divided, and Zhu Jianhua's mentality can be more stable and there is no need for any pressure.

Although Zhu Jianhua failed in the first two attempts, he struggled to make the last jump, and his rhythm throughout the running phase was excellent, especially the position of the last jump was perfect.

I have to mention here that Zhu Jianhua's standing long jump is not outstanding, but the bullet speed is amazing, and the short-distance sprint speed is also a monster, coupled with the ultimate high jump technology, it can be said that the biggest factor determining his results is the rhythm of the run, as well as the position of the starting point.

This time, Zhu Jianhua took his running and jumping skills to the extreme, and the exquisite high jump posture even had some elegant taste in the air after being exerted to the limit.

The 2.40-metre human limit was surpassed by his extreme take-off and graceful posture, and a new high jump record was born! Zhu Jianhua became the world's first human to cross a height of 2.40 meters!

The 100,000 spectators in the "Los Angeles Memorial Stadium" witnessed another miracle created by the Chinese, although they felt very uncomfortable, but the applause was still enduring!

At this time, Zhu Jianhua, who was introverted, was also rarely bursting with pride, and jumped excitedly on the sponge mat after landing, which also became a major tidbit of the day's event.

Of course, this competition is not over yet, and Zhu Jianhua is still qualified to continue to challenge new heights according to the rules.

But he also knew that the height of 2.40 meters was already the real limit that he had not succeeded in training so far, and it was impossible to set a new record if he went up, so he gave up trying to reach higher altitudes.

Wu Jie knew that Zhu Jianhua's limit had not yet been fully exerted, and this product was a real five-star monster in the field of high jump.

However, due to the material poverty of this era, he was malnourished when he first practiced high jump, and he was severely anemic.

Then think about the various unscientific training methods in this era, as well as the worrying medical conditions, Zhu Jianhua can still achieve this result is really talented.

Wu Jie had already signed Zhu Jianhua to his agency before the Olympics, and he would make a long-term investment in him in the next few years.

His 21-year-old is not very old, as long as he is not troubled by injuries in the next few years, trains more scientifically, and treats and recovers in time after injury, he can make some progress in the next two years, even if he wants to maintain his peak until the 88 Olympics, it is actually a normal thing.

Under normal circumstances, a high jumper's jumping ability will not decline before the age of 25 when he is trained scientifically and has not suffered major injuries, and Zhu Jianhua was still in his peak at that time.

It is not impossible to create 2.41 meters, 2.42 meters, or even higher during this period.

But after the high jump competition, the Chinese athletes once again went into stealth.

Tonight, the men's football, men's volleyball, and women's handball also did not play, because the big ball events in the knockout stage became one game in three days.

But the boxing match had a semi-final of the "75-81 kg" class, and Qin Jian's opponent was Holyfield from Alabama, USA.

If there is no Qin Jian, the most obvious advantage in personal strength in this Olympics is Holyfield.

Although his path to promotion was not as violent as Qin Jian's, he also easily eliminated all his opponents, although they all won by an absolute advantage of points.

Holyfield didn't feel that Qin Jian was invincible before the game, and even openly provoked in an interview with the American media: "His attack is very brutal, but his tactics, strategies, and techniques are all in a mess!" True, he attacks fiercely, but no less recklessly. Boxing matches are not enough to have a pair of powerful fists, and no matter how lethal it is, it is useless to hit the enemy. ”

After Qin Jian was relayed this provocation by the ill-intentioned American media, he responded bluntly: "There are two things that are infinite, my kinetic energy and the stupidity on the other side!" ”

This sentence made Holyfield have a very bad impression of Qin Jian, and with the support of thousands of fans in the gym before the fight, he quickly became excited, and gave Qin Jian a thumbs up from afar.

This is nothing, after people who practice martial arts get excited, there are indeed many people who can't control their emotions.

But then Holyfield shouted "Chinese Yankee, I'll let you lie down today", which immediately exposed his hard fists and soft brains.

"Yankee, I'll show you a fist that is truly as steel!"

The duo went to the center of the ring before the fight to listen to the referees reiterate the spirit of the fight and some key rules while checking their gear.

Holyfield naturally didn't let go of this opportunity to show his trash talk, and he touched his fists hard as he spoke.

"The fist is not swung out by the mouth, this is a manifestation of the strength of the outside and the middle of the work, but you don't need to understand this truth, because when the two of us finish this fight, you won't know anything."

Qin Jian has always been expressionless before the game, but it doesn't mean that he likes to say nothing, it's just that his trash talk is usually said to the audience in front of the TV.

Holyfield's previous provocation, he didn't bother to respond mainly because there was no camera on him at all.

But a photographer was carrying a machine to film the pre-match communication between the two up close, and he naturally pretended not to know English, and once again spoke trash in Chinese.

He is not afraid that the gringos will not understand, because after these images are preserved, when his status grows day by day, he will definitely be translated and broadcast by television stations in various countries when they make documentaries, and then his fans will have another point of pride in talking.

Holyfield heard Qin Jian say something in a language he didn't understand, and finally understood that the two were not on the same server at all, and this kind of pre-game trash talk was simply chicken and duck.

At this time, he didn't know that he had lost a big loss in trash talk, and after this fragment was translated in the future, his situation would be one word - "shame"!

Of course, this had to be if Qin Jian could defeat Holyfield.

If he was the one who was defeated, it wasn't Holyfield who was to be disgraced.

Qin Jian didn't think he would lose, because at this age, Holyfield had already fought dozens of times in his dream training.

If an opponent like Tyson, whose speed, reflexes, and punches are perverted enough, he may overturn carelessly even if he has the advantage, then a boxing champion like Holyfield, who is more balanced and better at using his all-around skills to fight his opponent, while not beating his opponent by knockout, and mainly relies on points to win, has little chance of him overturning.

Holyfield didn't know anything about Qin Jian, he thought that this was a reckless man with amazing lethality, but this was just a little willfulness and a small smoke bomb when Qin Jian's advantage in the first two games was too great.

This information advantage made Qin Jian invincible for a long time, and after the start of the first round, Holyfield really adopted an aggressive wandering tactic, using his height, reach, and footwork, with his jab and straight front hand to constantly test and steal points.

Qin Jian smiled in his heart, in the face of Holyfield's control style of play, he didn't dodge at all, and completely relied on frontal defense to resist the opponent's jab and front hand straight punch, and at the same time pressed forward to find an opportunity to get closer.

Holyfield didn't dare to fight Qin Jian in close combat, but he soon found it difficult to use jabs and straight forehand punches to effectively hit Qin Jian.

This guy doesn't dodge, but it's hard to break through his tight defense with this kind of harassing offense alone, and no amount of punches can get points in this situation.

So Holyfield began to increase his backhand offense, looking for opportunities to use combination punches to inflict damage.

But he didn't expect that Qin Jian, who didn't dodge in the face of the front hand fist before, suddenly lowered his center of gravity to dodge in the face of the back hand fist and hook fist, and at the same time, he strode forward to press his close body.

This confident style of play with dodging skills and dodging heavy punches with his feet made Holyfield a little unable to react, and it was difficult to keep his distance when his steps were slightly messy, so he could only passively use combination punches and Qin Jian to exchange punches in close quarters.

This kind of tough result is definitely not better, Qin Jian not only reacts faster, but his dodging skills are also significantly higher than Holyfield at this age.

The results of the two punches in an instant were very different, Qin Jian hit Holyfield's head and body three times in a row with an uppercut, but Holyfield didn't really hit Qin Jian with a single punch, and the most awesome punch just scraped Qin Jian's scalp, and they were all missed!

Holyfield hit three punches in a row, not only suffered a heavy blow to the waist, but also felt a little dazed after being punched hard in the left and right cheeks, at this time he subconsciously wanted to use hugging tactics to try to delay time and get through this most dangerous time.

But after experiencing Barry's death entanglement in the last game, today's Qin Jian has a more perfect response to this tactic.

This time, he took advantage of the tight space to quickly land a set of hand-to-hand combinations learned from Ward before being held by Holyfield's shoulder.

The future champion who was born this year is also adept at clapping tactics, but what he's good at is that he has a technique that uses tight spaces to create combos that allow him to unleash bursts of power in the hugs that are difficult for his opponents to parry.

Of course, Ward's boxing method is to take the initiative to hug and then sneak attack the opponent, and there is a little bit of despicability in it.

Qin Jian improved it to deal with those who would take the initiative to hug him in the future, and this nature was completely different.

But the principle of the two is the same, Holyfield's current hugging technology is not good, and he has never seen this kind of birth and future technology.

Although he had some foreboding that he didn't lock Qin Jian's shoulder at the first time, he still didn't expect Qin Jian to be able to hit such a powerful combination punch at such a close moment.

Qin Jian actually didn't go too far, just punched Holyfield in front of him twice in a row, and then took a step forward while the opponent fell backwards, and the third punch swung out from his shoulder hit Holyfield's chin hard.

Holyfield's first two punches were almost GG, and the last Pegasus Meteor punch was really unbearable, only to see that the huge body of nearly two meters fell to the boxing ring with such a straight and straight "plop", and the back of the head made a close contact with the plastic floor mat.

Seeing this, Qin Jian didn't even look at Holyfield again, and directly turned around and returned to the direction of his ring.

He knew that this method of falling to the ground meant that even if the fighter did not shock, he must be in a semi-comatose state, otherwise the knee-jerk reaction of his body would not have allowed the back of his head to hit the ground like this.

This part hit the floor, and with Holyfield's weight, it was no less than a punch to the back of the head!

At this time, there was an unusually quiet atmosphere in the boxing gym, and the American boxing fans who had greeted Qin Jian with all kinds of vulgar words not long ago would all look at Holyfield who fell to the ground with a shocked face.

Some people looked up at the timer, and the referee on the stage had just ordered the timekeeper to stop the watch, and the time stopped at 2 minutes and 35 seconds.

That is to say, it only took Qin Jian 25 seconds to knock out Holyfield?

Qin Jian was also a little surprised in his heart, even he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Holyfield is not bad at his feet or dodging, and he has a hard time hitting his opponent with back-to-back heavy punches.

But if he can't hit the opponent in a row, Holyfield has a strong ability to resist striking at this age, and it will be difficult for him to knock out such a fighter with Olympic gloves.

But it's a pity that Holyfield knows too little about Qin Jian, but Qin Jian knows him well, which has actually determined the outcome of the game.

He just threw two sets of combination punches to Holyfield's head in a row, and hit a total of five heavy punches to the face alone, which is an output that even the Olympic gloves can't save.

"The wine is still warm!"

The puppet coach Wei Hongjun handed Qin Jian the wine glass before the game at this time, but judging from his posture and expression, he looked like a coach, and it was very appropriate to say that it was Qin Jian's old butler.

Of course, this action is to cooperate with acting, in addition to the inevitable "KO" in Qin Jian's every game, this cup is poured down the stage before the game, and there is still residual warmth after the game, which is specially used to pay tribute to the opponent's old Qin wine, and there will be no shortage of absent protagonists!

But at this time, Qin Jian raised his hand and made a nudge gesture, his lips moved slightly, and he should have said "wait".

His action shows that he respects his opponent very much, but in the eyes of the Chinese audience, it is: Okay, this means that you really have to have a drink of final wine later!
