Those who have the right time, the right place, and the right people can win the world, at least Du Ke has the right time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Chinese men's archery team, which is not strong overall, is now in a worse situation, they are suffering from a shortage of personnel, and they are very eager to get a world-class archer to stabilize the morale of the army.

So Du Ke came to Qingdao, a coastal city on the Jiaodong Peninsula, to participate in the internal selection competition of the Chinese men's archery team.

Incheon is a port city in the northwest of South Korea, not far from China's Liaodong Peninsula and Jiaodong Peninsula, it takes less than an hour to fly from Incheon to Cheongdo City, and it takes two hours for Duke to fly from Nangang to Cheongdo.

There is only an hour of time difference between Seoul and the capital of our country, so there is no time difference between Chinese players going to South Korea to participate in the Asian Games, and it is completely OK to arrive in South Korea a few days in advance before the start of the Asian Games. Arriving in Incheon a few days early is mainly to adapt to the competition venue, and there is no need for jet lag.

The latitude and climate of the coastal cities of Bohai Bay and Jiaodong Peninsula in China are close to Incheon, and they are close to the Asian Games.

The registration deadline for each event of the Asian Games is September 3, and the list of three players in the relatively stable Chinese women's archery team has already been reported to the Asian Organizing Committee, but the list of three male shooters participating in the Asian Games has not yet been determined.

At the 2012 London Olympics, the Chinese men's archery team sent Dai Xiaoxiang, Xing Yu and Liu Zhaowu to participate in the competition.

Dai, Xing and Liu are the only three veteran drivers in the Chinese men's archery team who have experience in international competitions, and the reason why the Chinese men's archery team has encountered an employment crisis is because these three veteran drivers have been determined to be unable to participate in the Asian Games.

China is not like South Korea, which has three main scorers and can immediately add three new scorers to the national team.

The difference in the strength of the substitute shooters and the main shooters of the Chinese archery team is still obvious, and the key thing is that the main shooters of the Chinese team are not very strong......

The strongest scorer was Dai Xiaoxiang, who won the bronze medal in the Olympic individual competition, but unfortunately he was injured, not a foot injury, but a serious shoulder injury.

The coaching staff of the Chinese archery team has been in a sad mood recently, and in the sad atmosphere of Dandan, on August 11, the internal selection of the Chinese men's archery team kicked off at the Qingdao Archery Base.

Instructor Shao of the archery national team has already released his words: "In this selection competition, we only look at the results and state, not the past and history...... The three young men who are in the best condition and rank in the top three will get tickets to Incheon, and Director Lu of the Shooting and Archery Management Center just now also said, anyway, you don't have any glorious historical achievements worth recalling, so just let go of your hands and feet and go to fight! ”

Papapa, there was sparse applause on the training ground, these are more than 20 young men, they are all potential seedlings from the archery teams of various provinces, Shao Gui's radical words did not have the expected effect, and the boys' reactions were very flat.

"Hey, there is no greater mourning than death. They must be thinking, even if they can go to South Korea, what if they are not bullied by Koreans? Director Shao shook his head, the wrinkles on his forehead became more profound, he knew that athletes who engage in archery, including shooting, are generally cold, but as a national player or reserve player, it's okay to be calm, don't be too indifferent.

These two dozen male shooters were selected from the provincial teams, and there were many that could not be picked out, so only three of them could be selected to go to South Korea.

The only alternative may be Du Ke, who doesn't talk much, but his eyes are always full of resolute fighting spirit and firm determination.

At 9 a.m., the qualifying round for the internal selection competition began.

Each of the 26 male candidates shot 72 arrows in qualifying, with the top 16 of the 72 total rings remaining, and the 17th to 26th finishers are eliminated and those eliminated will lose their qualification for the Asian Games.

The top 16 players in the total number of rings will compete in the afternoon and will face each other according to the overall number of rings in the qualifying rounds, 1st vs. 16th, 2nd vs. 15th, 3rd vs. 14th...... 8th place VS 9th place, this is one of the 1/8 finals.

After that, it's time for the well-known progression of the competition system: 1/4 finals, semi-finals, third and fourth place finals, and finals.

This selection system is absolutely fair, and this is also the system of the Olympic Games and the Asian Games, but the qualifying rounds of the Olympic Games and the Asian Games are ranked 64th, and the Chinese team can't find 64 potential seedlings, so it can only be ranked 16th.

The types of bows mentioned above refer to recurve bows.

The archery competition at the Incheon Asian Games featured two bow types, the recurve bow and the compound bow, with a total of four gold medals in each bow category for men and women's individual and team competitions.

The compound bow is not an Olympic event, so who values it for non-Olympic events? In fact, the list of players of the Chinese team to participate in the compound bow event of the Asian Games has long been determined, precisely because the compound bow is not valued in the team, and the strength of the players who practice the compound bow is relatively weak, so the coaches did not have any expectations for the compound bow project, and the list was determined early.

In contrast, the shooting and archery center and the archery national team adopted the method of "the tallest among the short" to conduct the recurve bow selection competition, it can be seen that the leaders still have a glimmer of hope for the recurve bow project, although this glimmer of hope may be dashed at any time when facing the South Korean team, but there is hope after all, it is not a bad thing. Compound bow project, that is considered a broken jar, stepping on the watermelon skin, sliding wherever it counts.

The qualifying match proceeded as planned, with each shooter standing on his target position and shooting arrows with bows and arrows.

In the huge shooting range, no one can be heard, only "whoosh", and the atmosphere is solemn.

The trials are entirely arranged according to the Olympic and Asian Games recurve bow competition system, and the range is 70 meters.

The top 13 shooters took the lead in shooting 72 arrows, and the first place in the score was Yong Zhiwei, whose total number of 72 arrows was 684 rings, and the second was Gu Xuesong, with a score of 681 rings. Only the two of them have a total of 72 arrows with a total of more than 680 rings, and the third place has a total of 656 rings, which is too far from them.

Head coach Shao's eyes lit up: "Huh? Xiao Yong, Xiao Gu, these two young men are okay! 684, 681, not to mention the Asian Games, they are qualified to participate in the Olympic Games. Although there is still some gap between the South Korean players, I see a rare sense of ambition from these two lads. Yong Zhiwei, Gu Xuesong, I remember the two of you, I will focus on the two of you. ”

An hour and a half later, the next 13 players had shot 72 arrows, and Duke was in first place overall with a score of 698 rings.

"This is too fake...... Director Shao saw Du Ke's qualifying 72 arrows total rings, he showed a senile dementia-like expression, and muttered: "I have been engaged in archery for more than 20 years, and I have never seen a Chinese male player who can shoot 698 rings, not to mention Chinese players, even Korean players can shoot 698 rings!" Duke, he is only 1 ring away from equaling the world record of 699 rings......" (To be continued. )
