Chapter 122: No Friendship on the Battlefield

After taking a deep breath, Ashton-Eaton picked up a javelin and walked slowly into the throwing zone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come on, Ashton! You're going to be able to beat that Chinese kid! After giving himself one last mental cue, Eaton started his first test pitch.

After a quick and powerful run of about 30 metres, Eaton completed his throwing moves like a textbook.

However, Eaton, who was in a bit of a hurry, although he completed 90% of the throwing action beautifully, did not control it well, and his body continued to rush forward because of the inertia after the javelin shot.

Although Eaton tried to keep his body slightly tilted to the left and did his best to lower his center of gravity to maintain balance, his right foot still touched the marking.

Therefore, even if Eaton's javelin throw fell firmly outside the 60-meter line, his first attempt could only end in failure.

――――――

"Holy! Didn't the comments on the Internet say that this guy is not good at throwing events? He...... He threw 60 meters away, right? Feng Quan said with some surprise.

Although the location of the athletes' waiting area is not very close to the javelin field, it is still possible to judge the approximate distance after the javelin hits the ground by using the marking line as a basis.

Feng Quan seemed to suddenly realize something, so he continued, "Uh...... Now, that guy will overtake me in terms of total scores, right? ”

"Well, though, that would have to be a good result for the Yankees to shoot." Qi Haifeng said in a calm tone.

"What do you mean?" Feng Quan looked at Qi Haifeng with some confusion.

"Hey, didn't you see that the referee near the throwing area has raised the red flag?" Qi Haifeng said helplessly.

"Haha, red flag? That's great! I really hope that the referee can also raise the red flag in his last two attempts! Feng Quan grinned.

"You, you said don't have that kind of sweet dream. That guy is Eaton, but he's not a stupid guy. If you want to beat him, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on the help of the referee. Qi Haifeng said righteously.

"Hehe, Brother Feng, I'm joking, of course I know what that guy's stakes are. I'm just a 'good wish.'" ”

"Forget it, it's going to be my second test in a while, and I don't have time to fight you here." With that, Qi Haifeng stood up from his position and walked in the direction of the throwing accuracy zone.

Looking at the back of the "senior brother" gradually moving away, Feng Quan shouted loudly: "Brother Feng, come on!" The two of us worked together to hoist two five-star red flags at the decathlon award ceremony! ”

――――――

I don't know if Feng Quan's encouragement really played a role, Qi Haifeng once again improved his personal best to 63.43 meters (790 points) in his second test throw.

After seeing the results of his second trial on the big screen, Qi Haifeng, who was more introverted, couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a roar.

After the first eight events, Qi Haifeng was 204 points ahead of Cuba's Lionel Suarez in terms of overall scores. However, after Suarez threw 73.87m (949 points) in the first round of the javelin throw, he overtook Qi Haifeng in terms of overall score.

Although Qi Haifeng and Suarez have a very deep friendship, for the honor of their respective countries, neither of them wants to lose to each other in a major competition like the Olympic Games.

Therefore, after the first round of trial throwing, Qi Haifeng, who was overtaken by Suarez in the total score, held back his strength and wanted to regain his lead in the second round of trial throwing.

However, in the second round of trial throwing, after regaining a 45-point lead, Qi Haifeng, who could not hide the excitement in his heart, let out a roar to release the depression in his heart, and still very friendly in the direction of his foreign friend Suarez, who was standing in the test pitch preparation area, shouted with a smile: "It\'Syourturn!" (It's your turn)"

After hearing Qi Haifeng's words, the dark-skinned Suarez immediately showed his two rows of white teeth, and responded with a laugh: "Haha, good brother, iwillgobeyondyou......."

――――――

Although he said "I'm going to overtake you in a moment", Suarez himself knew very well that it would not be easy to recover the total disadvantage in the second attempt. This is because he will only be able to re-establish his advantage in the overall score if he throws close to 77 meters (997 points).

Not only that, but if Suarez wants to still outperform Qi Haifeng in the ranking after all the races, then he will have to be at least 35 points ahead of Qi Haifeng before the start of the 1500-meter race.

Years of friendship have made Suarez very aware of Qi Haifeng's strength. Therefore, he knows very well that Qi Haifeng, who has good endurance, has never exceeded 4 minutes and 26 seconds (771 points) in the 1500-meter event. And Suarez, who has excellent explosiveness, has a personal best in the 1500m event in previous competitions with a personal best of 4:30.47 (742 points).

Therefore, if Suarez can't build up at least a 35-point advantage after the javelin throw, even if he breaks his personal best in the 1500m, he still has to count on Qi Haifeng's abnormal performance in the race, so that Suarez can beat his foreign friend in terms of total points.

"Now Qi is your 'enemy' and not your friend. Defeat him, Lionel, come on! ”

After making one last mental cue for himself, Suarez began his second round of trial pitches.

――――――

I have to say that talent is sometimes really "angry".

Unlike most Chinese athletes, who rely more on the "fine buckle" throwing technique to improve their performance in throwing events, black athletes like Suarez, even if they are weaker than Chinese players in throwing skills, can still rely on their excellent explosiveness and strength to make up for the technical gap. Moreover, in terms of performance, it is far better than that of Chinese athletes.

After nearly 40 meters of running, when he was three or four meters away from the marker line of the throwing zone, Suarez let out a "Ahhh A roar. Immediately afterward, I saw that the javelin flew out of Suarez's hand like a silver lightning bolt.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Suarez's body, like a cheetah catching an antelope, making a flying pounce towards his right front position.

And at the next moment, Suarez's whole body stopped firmly at least one meter away from the marking line of the throwing area.

A moment later, when the big screen at the London Olympic Stadium showed the results of Suarez's second test throw, Qi Haifeng and Feng Quanshi, who were sitting in the athletes' waiting area, were speechless in shock...... (To be continued.) )
