Chapter 20: Victory in the first battle

In the afternoon shot put final, the 8 players will appear in turn according to the results of the morning preliminaries. After the three shots, the last three throws will be made according to the previous three shots from low to high, and then the ranking will be determined.

Lu Wei ranked 4th in the preliminaries and came out in 5th place. The top three in the preliminaries were Wang Guangfu of Yucheng, Zhang Jun of Shanghai and Liu Yang of Liaocheng.

The three people are old acquaintances for many years, and after meeting, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries.

"It seems that the top 3 of us today are 3 of us, and in the past few years, the 3 of us have taken turns to sit in the village, and I feel so bored."

Wang Guangfu of Yucheng who spoke, his best score was 20.12 meters, although he couldn't break Zhang Jun's record of 20.15 meters, but his results have been relatively stable in recent years, and he has a slight advantage over the other two people.

"Yes, what's the point, God, give us an opponent......" Liu Yang picked up Wang Guangfu's words, and the two of them laughed after he finished speaking.

Zhang Jun, the national record holder, was quite calm, just smiling slightly, but there was also a smug look on his face.

As he turned his head to the side, he saw a tall member of the team looking at them with a contemptuous expression, like a passerby watching an animal show.

He saw that this player had Ningcheng team written on his chest, and suddenly remembered that before the afternoon game, Coach Sun had instructed himself that there was a Ningcheng player in today's game who was very talented, so don't take it lightly.

"When did Ning Cheng ever play a master draw player in the shot put event, Director Sun was a little worried......" Thinking of this, Zhang Jun also greeted him with a provocative look and did not back down at all.

Lu Wei was still holding on to his deterrence, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to provoke him, and immediately released his murderous aura without concealment.

Zhang Jun is just an ordinary person, how can he stand Lu Wei's forced gaze with the breath of death, after looking at the other party, his eyes immediately became flustered.

Seeing the other party, he was stunned, and Lu Wei despised the three people in front of him even more. At this time, the players and coaches who were still communicating with each other suddenly felt extremely depressed, and the shot put court instantly became quiet.

Wang Qiao, who was beside Lu Wei, secretly admired in his heart: "This kid is definitely not an ordinary person, and this moment shocked the audience." It seems that these people are more cowardly than me. It's no wonder that the Chinese men's shot put is not competitive at all when it goes abroad, and the top-ranked players are all like this, they have no spirit, and they are talking about sportsmanship......"

The race began in such a strange atmosphere, and only two of the first four people scored more than 19 meters. Lu Wei stood out in the crowd, and it was difficult to be classified with others in terms of figure and aura.

Most of the team members participating in the competition are over 1.8 meters, but the fat content on their bodies is generally high, and they all look like lumps of meat from a distance. Only Lu Wei has strong muscles, low fat content and strong strength, so he can compete in track and field competitions at the same time.

Lu Wei walked to the throwing arc and held the shot put on his chin with his right hand. After taking a deep breath, step forward and stand firmly on your left foot, then take the second step and lean forward with your body weight. Immediately, his right hand suddenly exerted force by inertia and pushed the lead ball out.

With this shot, the three people who were still "cooking wine on heroes" just now suddenly felt half cold, and this shot was very good both in terms of shooting point and arc. After the shot put landed, the referee measured the result of the shot at the landing point. Everyone else was waiting for the referee to announce the results, and at this time, Zhang Jun suddenly began to break out in a cold sweat, he felt that he had held the national record for 2 years and was probably going to be an old one today.

Wang Qiao is also very concerned about the results of this throw, so far, none of the athletes in Ningcheng are competitive, and he hopes that Lu Wei can fire the first shot for the provincial team.

"The result is valid, 20.52 meters!"

"What! So far! Although Zhang Jun had a bad premonition before, he still had a fluke mentality, and after the referee reported Lu Wei's results, he still couldn't accept such a reality.

"Beautiful, the World Championships have been qualified!" Wang Qiao shouted excitedly at this time, in the World Championships in August, the qualification for the shot put competition was 20.5 meters, but he didn't expect Lu Wei to lock in the qualification for the World Championships with his first throw. Wang Qiao was surprised and delighted at this time, this is the first player he brought out to be able to break into the World Championships.

Lu Wei's expression didn't change much, the first shot in his eyes was just a warm-up, and he also had a score first. This throw didn't actually exert full force, just looking for the feeling of throwing.

Affected by Lu Wei's first shot, the three people who lived in the comfort zone of the domestic game before did not play well in the first throw. Liu Yang's first throw was 19.2 meters, Zhang Jun was depressed because the record he held was broken by Lu Wei, and the first throw was only 18.64 meters.

"Hello everyone, I have good news. In the shot put competition just now, Lu Wei of Ningcheng threw 20.52 meters in the first throw in the final, which broke the national record and won a place for Huaxia at the World Championships in Osaka. Congratulations to Lu Wei, now that the game is still ongoing, let's wait and see if there will be more surprises for us in the future. ”

Wang Qiao was so happy on the sidelines that he couldn't close his mouth, and at this time, someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was really his coach Jiang Gui when he was an athlete: "Congratulations, I think it is a foregone conclusion that Lu Wei won the championship in this game." After so many years of hard work, I finally got through, and I'm happy for you! ”

"Director Jiang, it's all your credit that he can be discovered, without you, I wouldn't have been able to dig out his talent, this is your moment of glory." Wang Qiao's inner feelings at this time are very complicated, he has worked at the grassroots level for many years, and he originally thought that he would never have the opportunity to appear in a large arena again in this life, but he didn't expect fate to give him this precious gift at this time.

In the subsequent games, Lu Wei's performance improved almost every time he played. As Lu Wei continues to break domestic records, the arena also continues to broadcast the good news of his record-breaking. Every time the results are broadcast live, there will be applause and cheers from the audience.

The men's shot put competition, which is not usually paid attention to, suddenly became the focus of attention on the field.

With Lu Wei finishing his last throw, his time was fixed at 21.17m. Zhang Jun, the original record holder, was already dead at this time, and every time Lu Wei broke the national record, his heart hurt as if he had been pierced by a sword. He was like the walking dead in this game, and none of his shots were up to the level of training.

Lu Wei didn't look at Zhang Jun again at all, in his eyes, an athlete with poor psychological quality was like a cowardly warrior, and before he could let his companions remember his name, he would let the dust bury the body.
