Chapter 989 [Win a gold in three days, not at all]
Guo Xu's archery ranking competition has terrifying ratings, and audiences from all over the world have stayed in front of the TV to watch him.
As far back as 10,000 years ago, in the Mesolithic Age, humans invented bows and arrows for hunting, and then bows and arrows were one of the important weapons used in warfare. Bows and arrows run through the history of human development, leaving many idioms and allusions, such as borrowing arrows from grass boats, one arrow land, one arrow and two eagles, three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee......
In short, bows and arrows have been preserved as a favorite sport of the people.
The first day of the Olympic Games is the archery competition, which is divided into three stages: ranking round, knockout round and final, with a range of 70 meters.
First of all, there will be a ranking competition, 64 athletes from each gender, each shooting 6 groups of arrows, 6 arrows in each group, a total of 36 arrows; After resting for 10-15 minutes, shoot again according to the above procedure, for a total of 72 arrows.
The cumulative rings of these 72 arrows will be ranked from 1st to 64th place in men and women, and then paired according to the rules. For example, the 1st place will play against the 64th place, the 2nd place will play against the 63rd place, and so on.
Each athlete shoots 12 arrows in the knockout round, which is divided into 4 rounds, with 3 arrows in each round, and each arrow takes turns shooting for 30 seconds. Each game is tied with one point, the winner is two points, and the four games are tied for overtime, and the total score goes to the next round.
A total of 8 people will enter the finals, and the archery method and number of arrows in the finals will be the same as those in the knockout round, until the champion and runner-up are determined.
To put it simply, it is to keep knocking out people with heads-up until the top four are decided. The two winners of the semi-finals compete for the championship, and the two losers compete for a bronze medal, which is simple and fair.
This is a test of the stability of the athletes, and the champion is the most stable one, because the strength of the top archers will not be very different, and they may be eliminated if they are abnormal in a certain round. Rankings do not determine the results, and it is common for them to go down to the top.
Guo Xu's training in the time loop is in accordance with the rhythm of the Olympic Games, which is very targeted, not impatient.
There was a funny situation during the live broadcast of the game, and the cameras of all countries were almost pointed at Guo Xu's field, regardless of other people, and the content of this live broadcast was "Jason Guo Qualifying".
Then the thing that made everyone's jaws drop happened, Guo Xu shot 72 arrows in a perfect rhythm, and ranked first without any cheating.
British commentator: "Oh my God, Jason Guo ranked first, he ranked first, he turned out to be first!" ”
American commentator: "I think the mood of the players from all over the world is similar to that of Iverson in the 2001 finals, the reality is so cruel, they can't beat Jason Guo, who looks more amateurish. Jason was last in the NBA draft, although he proved his strength at a low level, and he didn't systematically practice archery. ”
Korean commentator: "Guo Xu's ancestors have Korean ancestry, so he can use bows and arrows from Korea with ease." ”
Japanese commentator: "The god of arrows appeared in the Olympic arena, if he was in the Heian period, he would be a military commander like the Heikyo Sutra!" He would shoot and kill Jishin Sato in the Battle of Yashima among the Four Heavenly Kings of Yoshitsune. ”
Another commentator was also enthusiastic: "Naive, he is obviously more like the founder of Sui Bo Zhai, Ichinomiya Sui Bo Zhai......"
"Nani? You don't understand at all, how can his majestic posture be with the flow? ”
Chinese radio also did not broadcast the fights of its own players live, otherwise the audience would have protested.
The commentator is literary: "Guo Xu is here for the gold medal, his performance is really ...... But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. ”
Someone left a message on the Internet: "People are foreign nationals, will foreigners help guard the Great Wall?" ”
This post will be dug up in the future, and there will really be foreigners to help guard the Great Wall in the future, and he is good at archery and growing potatoes.
Two days later, Guo Xu participated in the men's individual 1/32 round of knockout and 1/16 round of knockout rounds, and successfully reached the finals. He also helped the U.S. men's team reach the finals.
Players from other countries are feeling like they're alive, isn't this a basketball star who wants to put on a show? Amazing, right?
On the 29th, the two sides of the men's team final were the United States VS Italy.
Before the game, the Italian coach boosted morale and said: "Don't worry, as long as you calm down and play to the level you did in training, we will win." The pressure is on the side of the American team, because Jason Guo is in a hurry to prepare for the game, he lacks major tournament experience and is prone to making mistakes, and he can easily play out of style under heavy pressure. ”
However, Guo Xu was the most stable player in the U.S. team, helping the U.S. narrowly defeat Italy 220-219 and win the gold medal in the men's archery team, and the Italian team won the silver medal.
When Guo Xu shot the winning arrow, the audience, both at the scene and in front of the TV, was stunned.
The Chinese commentator shouted, "Champion! Guo Xu crossed the border and won an Olympic gold medal in archery, his psychological quality is too strong, this is the first time he has participated in an archery competition. The U.S. didn't put him into the war as a show at the beginning, and he used his actions to break the rumors. ”
The Italian commentator sighed: "Maybe for Jason Guo, who is used to seeing big scenes, he will not have any psychological pressure at all when he participates in the archery Olympic competition." ”
In this Olympic Games, no archery player can compare Guo Xu's psychological quality, and no male or female athlete has ever killed anyone. Guo Xu has directly shot a drug dealer to practice arrows in a time loop, and except for him, no player has ever tried to pretend to be forced with his life.
When he jumped off the container, he shouted "You have failed the city"! It was a matter of an instant for him to shoot an arrow from aim, and he shot an arrow in 30 seconds? He had already been shot into a sieve by drug dealers.
His superhero-like practice is irreproducible, allowing him to reach a terrifying realm, where he can maintain absolute concentration and perform at his best without distractions the moment he aims to shoot.
Because his muscle memory tells him that if he misses the shot, the consequences will be unimaginable, he may be shot, and he may die.
The award ceremony was held later, Guo Xu and his teammates stood on the championship podium together, won a gold medal, and showed the audience in front of the TV in front of the camera.
Then he left the arena in a hurry, took a shower and changed into a custom suit, appeared at the press conference in the style of a movie star, and was interviewed by the media of various countries, and 200 media seats had to be grabbed.
He couldn't be interviewed on the field, there were too many people who wanted to interview him, and he would be surrounded by three circles inside and three circles.
The reporters first listened to him talk about his feelings about winning the championship, and then asked him when he practiced archery, Guo Xu said that it was a hobby, mainly when he went out hunting.
"As with basketball shooting, I've always had a talent for accuracy. I'm still a natural hunter, and I can only compete for medals if I participate in pistol shooting or frisbee shooting, but unfortunately there is a time conflict, so I can only participate in two. ”
The reporter asked: "Do you have the confidence to compete for medals in taekwondo?" It's completely different from archery. ”
Everyone in the venue was incredible, even veteran journalists, who never thought that they would be able to ask such a question at the Olympics one day. In this Olympic Games, Guo Xu participated in two cross-border events, and these two sports are completely unrelated in practice.
Guo Xu smiled: "Taekwondo is not easy to say, many techniques cannot be used. I have confidence in mixed martial arts, I have practiced several kinds of kung fu, I just hope the referee doesn't too many fouls, and the moves that others can't make don't mean that they are violated! ”
The reporters suddenly didn't know what to ask, and they had a hunch that the taekwondo competition might be more exciting......
