Chapter 16: The Downturn

Time passes slowly with the training of moving targets and pistol items. With one month to go before the Asian Games in Guangzhou, Lu Ming finally finished his practice of moving targets and pistols and started skeet shooting.

Both the old coach and Lu Ming naively thought that the learning progress of skeet shooting would be as fast as the first two. But reality struck a big shave, and Lu Ming encountered the biggest crisis since going back in time.

Talent can't play anymore! Skeet shooting has become a roadblock!

The weapons used in skeet shooting are roughly divided into three types: shotguns, rifles, and pistols. Among them, the one that caused great trouble to Lu Ming was the shotgun. Unlike normal weapons, shotguns shoot shotguns.

There is no aiming device, it is all about feeling, everything depends on the conditioned reflexes of the body. All this is the biggest culprit that caused Lu Ming to delay his learning progress. It's a program that uses practice to make perfect, and then to achieve muscle memory.

On the shooting range, as the target throwing machine continued to throw, the gunfire on the field also continued to sound. It's just that the old coach frowned when he looked at the results on the field.

Didn't hit the target!

Didn't hit the target!

.....

The missed target of three consecutive shots made Lu Ming's physical and mental and physical condition fall into a slump. It stands to reason that skeet shooting mainly examines the shooter's reaction speed. But on the contrary, Lu Ming was seriously troubled at this point.

The body can't keep up with the speed of reactions!

In addition to the fact that the weapon is a shotgun, the scene of skeet shooting has also completely reduced the poor time syndrome that Lu Ming has always relied on to become a piece of paper. There are 15 target throwing machines in the target trench, three of which are divided into groups. Thrown from three different directions.

Depending on the rules of the game, there are usually nine different target throwing schemes to choose from. In the whole process, both the angle and the height of the target are different. Even if Lu Ming sensed the aroma of the flying saucer's shooting after a poor game, it was difficult for his body to keep up with the time consumed by the movement of the shot.

The so-called heart is more than enough but not enough, in skeet shooting, Lu Ming finally felt it vividly. The shooter needs to fly within 15 to 20 meters of the target trench to complete the entire excessively long action. This also means that the time left for Lu Ming to shoot from the discovery of the disc target to the slowest is in the range of 0.6 seconds.

What is the concept of 0.6 seconds? The process of closing the eyes, opening them, and then closing them. In other words, one and a half times and a blink! That's still the fullest speed, and even faster is just a blink of an eye.

"Old coach, the body really can't keep up with the rhythm of reaction!" Lu Ming explained helplessly with a bitter face.

"Take your time, don't rush. It seems that this sensitivity is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. It was the first time for the old coach to see Lu Ming so troubled, but he was happy.

In fact, Lu Ming's shooting speed is not too bad, and it belongs to the training progress of normal athletes. It's just that compared with the previous two perverted performances, it's just a little too slow.

"Lu Ming, pay attention to the rough aim. A flying saucer is not the same as an electronic target in that it does not require accurate shooting. "Practice again, the old coach instructed on the side.

The target throwing machine continued to work, and Lu Ming sank down again, silently paying attention. Shotgun bullets are shotguns, which is an important reason why the old coach mentions rough aiming. After the shotgun is fired, the projectile will automatically disperse in the air, so it is only necessary to aim in the general direction.

Rely on projectiles scattered in the air, even if the direction is not as precise when aiming. Some of these projectiles are also capable of hitting disc targets. However, in Lu Ming's thinking, he has been staying at the precise aiming of his past shooting experience, which has led to his reaction not being able to keep up.

"Pong! Boom! ”

After firing several times in a row, there was finally a sound of hitting the disc target in the air. This made the brows of the old coach standing on the side even tighter.

After a round of shooting, the old coach thought for a while, walked up to Lu Ming and said, "Lu Ming, it seems that I underestimated your body's instincts too much. When you shoot at fixed targets, it's not just muscle memory. ”

Lu Ming thought that with more practice, he could correct it. But listening to the tone of the old coach, it seems that this is not the case. I couldn't help but say, "It's not muscle memory? ”

"Physical memory." The old coach sighed and continued: "Physical memory is a further advancement of muscle memory. Muscle memory, in physical terms, simply belongs to physical inertia. Body memory, on the other hand, is the dual inertia of the brain and the body. ”

"Multiple brain memories? Can't it be corrected back? Although Lu Ming somewhat understood what body memory was all about, he was still very confused about the current situation.

"You, the realm that others dream of coming to you, I still want to correct this." The old coach said angrily. Then he said: "It's not long before the Asian Games." It's impossible to retrain a new UFO memory. And if you shoot with a fixed target, the body amnestics are a bit of a loss of watermelon and sesame seeds. After all, you're likely to lose your advantage over other projects. ”

Skeet shooting, the only remaining shooting event, was temporarily stopped by the old coach. Before coming up with a solution, neither the old coach nor Lu Ming wanted to rely on sacrificing the results of other events to improve skeet shooting.

Regarding the memory of Xuanzhi and Xuan's body, Lu Ming was also a little helpless. From his point of view, it may just be a sequelae of the gift of jet lag.

....

In fixed electronic target shooting, Lu Ming's instinct can always be perfectly combined with talent. Even when it comes to moving targets, he can play with ease. But it was planted on skeet shooting.

Confused, he began to work with his old coach to try to solve this dilemma. Between flying saucer and instinct, find a new balance.

Shooting should have been done as he pleased, but Lu Ming was now limited to the limits he had drawn. Perhaps only when he breaks it can he be regarded as truly superior to skill and success in the way of shooting.

Shooting, practicing, being in a daze, this is almost the entire life of Lu Ming these days. He had some magic obstacles, and all his thoughts were immersed in flying saucers.

Even if he doesn't practice flying saucers, he will consciously or unconsciously associate them with flying saucers.

The old coach didn't stop Lu Ming.

According to the gun, aiming, firing for the saucer, the proportion is not large. Especially in shotgun shooting, the results of the competition are only said to be neutral or unsuccessful, and it is no longer a comparison between the rings.

150 rounds, one hit counts as one point. There is no so-called difference between the number of rings, only the difference between hitting or not.

In the eyes of the old coach, Lu Ming has been smooth sailing for too long and has long lost his strong motivation to compete. It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. Small-caliber fixed-target shooting entered its peak early, which made Lu Ming lose his awe of shooting. The defeat on the flying saucer, on the other hand, can regain the original intention and regain awe.

Consciously pressurized, involuntarily fired. This is the current training strategy of the old coach. Live firing is itself an extremely tense and stimulating behavior.

Due to his previous shooting experience, Lu Ming's self-expectations for skeet are too high. When there is only pressure but no strong motivation to compete, it is easy to fall into the cycle of negative stress reactions.

This phenomenon has been encountered countless times in the coach's directing career. Therefore, once the consciousness is on the crux of the problem, it quickly begins to prescribe the right medicine. Once a negative stress response occurs, it is dominoes. First of all, it induces the nervousness and anxiety of the launcher, and then causes the muscles to tremble, the movements are deformed, and the panic falls, and finally affects the normal level of performance.

Now, with the old coach consciously shouting to stop, Lu Ming's motivation to practice has been further strengthened. To some extent, it is in line with the way of inaction.

Only by fighting with others can we achieve the "static mastery" required by skeet shooting!
