Chapter 99: Flying Up (2-in-1)

Muzhou's music atmosphere is really not strong, they don't know a lot of music styles, and pop singers don't pay attention to it, let alone symphony creators, except for the media reports when they look at it twice, they won't care. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But now, in this year's Eastern Conference Finals, a team has seen a person they don't know in their promotional video, and more people have paid attention.

"Who is Fang Zhao?"

Many people who usually only focus on agriculture, meteorology and sheep racing are also interested in it.

From some students of music academies, I learned that Fang Zhao is a rising rookie in the music creation circle, praised by many old-timers in the circle, and also sought after by the younger generation, and some Muzhou people reacted: "It sounds amazing, but why can Su Hou invite this person?" ”

Yes, why was Su Hou able to ask Fang Zhao to compose the background music for him in the promotional video of the Eastern Region finals?

However, at this time, even if they are curious, they will not be able to learn the truth.

Of course, the focus of attention of the people in Muzhou is still Su Hou and the seven dogs of Dongshan Farm.

The point of the promotional video just now is not to promote the new Dongshan Farm, but to introduce people to the growth of this young owner of Dongshan Farm. The combination of film and sound is too impressive, and it is precisely because of this promotional video that some people feel that it is really not good to laugh at Su Hou like that before, after all, he is still a child in middle school, and he is still a child who works hard and can endure hardships.

Older people will always have a crush on these hard-working young people.

Some parents who watched the live broadcast also nagged at their children: "Look at the ...... of Suhou".

Su Hou himself probably didn't expect to become what others called "someone else's child", and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, he was preparing for the war.

I don't know if it's because of the promotional video, Su Hou is now much less nervous, replaced by an indescribable fighting spirit, like something that has been waiting for a long time and finally arrived.

When Su Hou told Fang Zhao about this feeling, Fang Zhao smiled, "That's called self-confidence." ”

After all the promotional videos of the participating teams were played, the people who watched the live broadcast found that among these promotional videos, the most impressive for them was the promotional video of Su Hou, which made them remember the growth of Su Hou as a small farmer.

"That's it! The promotional videos are all better than who can blow, and the next thing is the real strength! "The people watching the game are packing up and looking forward to the next game.

Eastern Conference finals, to determine which four teams can enter the finals, the field is larger than the regular season, the shepherding distance is longer, the grass ups and downs fluctuate greatly, it is easy to deviate from the route, the situation that requires the instructor to come forward is much more than the regular season, and of course it takes longer, generally speaking, it can be counted within ten minutes to get by the results, and the teams that can squeeze into the finals in previous years take less than six minutes, and the teams that can compete for the championship and runner-up in the finals take about five minutes.

Wu Yi set a target for the team to be eight minutes, and if he runs for ten minutes, he can only be regarded as passing, but the real line is still a crane tail.

"As long as you don't make a mistake in judgment and apply for the right guidance in time to make a gesture, there will be no mistakes."

As an instructor, Su Hou can see the situation of the entire arena through several screens at the platform and know the correct route, and every year in the finals, the route is different, and sometimes you need to turn around, that is when the instructor comes forward.

The music for the shepherd race sounded, which also meant that the final had officially begun. Whether it was the people in the arena or the people watching the live broadcast all over Muzhou, they put other things on hold for the time being, and put down the things that were not finished, and all paid attention to the game, not only because they liked this traditional game in Muzhou, but also because many of them bet and pressed the team they supported to win.

The first team to appear is an old team that has participated in many times, six of the eight sheepdogs in it participated in the finals last year, plus the farmer may have been trained many times, so the sheepdog is not nervous and uncomfortable, the farmer as an instructor, but also every time necessary to apply for on-the-spot guidance, it can be said that the first team to appear, well completed their game.

"Seven minutes and sixteen seconds!"

That's a good result, but the farmer didn't seem happy with it, as it was ten seconds more than they had done last year, which may not be a big difference in the regular season, but in the final, it could have been a direct decision on whether they could finish in the top four. However, even if he was not satisfied, the farmer did not put on a face, just smiled and shook his head, and said in an interview after the race: "This year's sheep are different. It's hard to drive away. ”

Hard to drive away? The audience wondered.

The commentator didn't say much about it, and the second team took nearly half a minute longer than the first team because it took them too long to turn.

"This year's sheep are very slow." The farmer of the second team also said.

At first, people watching the live broadcast may think that they are making excuses for not doing well, but after the third and fourth farmers said this, everyone began to doubt.

"I deliberately observed in the second game," Wu Yi said in the viewing hall, "The sheep arranged at the finals venue this year are different from those in the regular season, it should be, it looks the same, but the temperament is different, the courage is bigger and more irritable, the fourth team just now is, halfway through, the sheep almost scattered." Several sheep also stamped their hooves at the sheepdogs, and provoked the over-the-top dogs and almost collided, which is not easy to do! ”

Wu Yi sighed, but he couldn't lose his morale at this time, turned around and patted Su Hou on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the difficulty increases, and others will also increase, and the time will be a little longer than last year, so don't be too stressed." ”

"The fifth one to appear is Shoubei Farm, we have to take a good look, it is said that the number one in this game is going to compete for the best in this year's finals." Wu Yi's faces became serious, and if you want to say that the one who puts the most pressure on them must be Shoubei Farm, which is still the top of the standings, and it is also the farm that is most likely to win the first place in the east and even the first in the continent this year.

The head dog of Shoubei Farm, Jin Ju, got many screams as soon as he got on the field, of course, it was not heard in the grassland, and the people in the various viewing halls and watching the live broadcast were staring at that figure, which was a trump card dog that could really shepherd sheep with his eyes!

Stars from other continents, dogs from Muzhou, Muzhou people pour feelings into the shepherd dog is not understood by people from other continents, for the Muzhou people, those dogs on the sheep field, as dazzling as stars, the discussion area of the official website of the Shepherd Race has long been bombarded with messages, if you go through the network virtual grandstand to watch the live hologram, you can hear the deafening shout.

The previous farmers have said that the sheep in this year's field are particularly difficult to drive, but when they arrive at Shoubei Farm, it is a different situation, and the speed of the sheep is much faster than when the first four teams were running!

"It's time to turn the corner, and the luck of Shoubei Farm is good, and the number one dog Golden Pony is starting to accelerate! It's putting pressure on the head sheep! ”

……

"Turned! The flock has turned! ”

……

Compared with the previous teams, Shoubei's side turned at a great speed, and the whole process did not stop.

"The head dog of Shoubei Farm, Golden Horse! Fabulous!! Deeply explain what it means to shepherd sheep! ”

……

"Fence in! It's all in the bar! Perfect! Four minutes and thirty-two seconds! Four minutes and thirty-two seconds! It was also the first last year, and this is still running out of this year's race with a different breed of sheep! The narrator's excited voice was a little out of tune through the excellent audio equipment, and he didn't hide the change of sheep breed this year, "This is the best!" He will most likely also win the Most Valuable Dog of the Finals! ”

The narrator said to the old farmer who was a guest next to him: "Someone once said that it will take ten or twenty years to produce a 'divine dog', such as the 'lightning' that helped you win five consecutive championships, such as the 'King Kong' more than ten years ago, and the 'Golden Horse......' in Shoubei this year."

The guest invited next to him was an old farmer, whose farm had won five consecutive championships more than 20 years ago, until his champion head dog died suddenly in an accident, and later the farm also won the championship by breeding new head dogs, but it can no longer repeat the glory of the five consecutive championships.

The old farmer is very admirable for the breeding, training and eye of the sheepdog, so the narrator asked the five-time champion farmer his opinion.

The old farmer also recalled the dog he used to love, "This year's golden horse is really eye-catching, and it has the demeanor of our family's 'lightning' divine dog......"

In the viewing hall where Fang Zhao summoned them, the atmosphere was very serious, everyone was silent, only the excited voice of the commentator and the exclamation of the guests came clearly from the audio equipment.

"Divine dogs?" Fang Zhao said meaninglessly.

After speaking, Fang Zhao heard a "snort" sound at his feet, looked down, and saw that Curly Mao seemed to have sneezed.

"Got a cold?!" Wu Yi immediately diverted his attention, with an expression that the sky was about to fall.

The nerves in the hall suddenly tensed all over the body, and Wu Yi and his family, as well as a special team of veterinarians, rushed over to check Curly's physical condition.

"How?" Wu Yi felt that his liver and gallbladder were trembling, he was afraid that he had eaten something indiscriminately yesterday, although he had checked their physical condition yesterday and today, and found no abnormalities, but who knows if he would be infected with any diseases or gastrointestinal abnormalities here?

The veterinarian team examined it with seriousness, very seriousness, and shook their heads: "No abnormalities found." ”

"Not really?!"

Doubted about the level of medical care, the people of the veterinarian corps were unhappy, "You question our ability?" Or do you want it to get sick? ”

"No, no, absolutely not!" Wu Yi shook his head vigorously.

Fang Zhao looked at the curly-haired dog on the ground scratching his head with his hind legs, and said to Wu Yi: "Don't worry, it's very good, continue to watch the game." ”

The brave performance of Shoubei Farm really amazed a large number of people, and brought a lot of pressure to the next two teams. The teams from the sixth and seventh farms ran well, but none of them were able to score less than seven points. If it weren't for the narrator's direct explanation of the change of sheep breeds, some people might have suspected that the farms were making excuses for their poor performance, and not everyone would have been able to see the difference in sheep breeds.

When the seventh farm came out, Wu Yi took people to send Su Hou and the racing dog to the race.

After the seventh team finished, they also came to the side of Dongshan Farm.

"Well, the next eighth appearance is another team that has attracted everyone's attention this year, and Dongshan Farm also has a very special racing dog ......"

When the commentator was making a pre-game commentary, Wu Yi hurriedly ran back and sat on a chair, staring straight at the screen with his eyes, for fear of missing any scenes.

"Out of the pasture!" The narrator's voice was raised, which also provoked people's nerves.

"The gathering of the sheep is very fast, and the drive is also smooth, so far, the racing dogs of Dongshan Farm have been completed very well, and the time is short, except for Shoubei Farm, they are the shortest." The narrator looked at the results given by the statistician and said.

Wu Yi on the chair couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up, walked closer to the screen, clenched his fists, put it to his mouth and bit it with his teeth, his lips were still moving, as if he was praying for something.

Fang Zhao also stared at the screen, he knew that a key point was coming.

Which side of the bar to enter, whether it is given temporarily or randomly, can not be predicted at all before this, can only depend on luck, testing the ability of the racing dog and the instructor to adapt.

Halfway through the flock, random answers are displayed on the screen.

The bar given is the left direction, which is not good news for Dongshan Farm, because their head dog curls on the left side, according to the convention, the head dog on the right side will drive the sheep to the left, and the left side of the herd wants to drive to the left, there are three possibilities, one is the head dog to run to the right, and then force the sheep to turn, one is not in place, the instructor gives instructions to the second dog of the team on the other side, let them help force the sheep to turn, and one of the most conservative, is to force the sheep to stop before turning, but this is too time-consuming.

The No. 2 dog in the Dongshan Farm team is bingo, how to choose, it was also discussed before the game, and the final decision was to choose the first method according to Fang Zhao's suggestion.

"Turn the corner, it's time to start changing direction! Watch out for positioning! Now it's time to test the ability of the head dog! Let's see if they can follow the instructor's guidance and drive the flock to change direction, or like many teams, force the flock to stop first, and then drive the head sheep......" The narrator was still spitting and commenting, "Su Hou applied for on-the-spot guidance!" Oh? Su Hou still gave the head dog an order to curl his hair, this is to ask it to go around to the other side? ”

On the screen, Su Hou applied for on-the-spot guidance, which was a direct instruction to Curly Hair, meaning to let it go to the other side of the flock and force the flock to turn.

"Attention! It's starting to accelerate, and it looks like it's going to go around the ...... Hey?! It ...... directly Flew over!! ”

The narrator not only broke his voice this time, but also stammered rarely. The old farmer, who was a guest next to him, also exclaimed, as if he had seen something shocking.

In the screen, the accelerated little curly dog generally rushed to the edge of the sheep and jumped up directly, stepping on the back of the sheep running in the flock, like stepping on a stone to cross the stream, crossing horizontally to the other side, saying "fly" is an exaggeration, but it does make many people's jaws drop.

This situation can be said to be very rare, not only to test the jumping ability of the racing dog, but most importantly, once you step on the air, or if one foot is not steady, if you fall into the team of running sheep, your life will be trampled by the sheep.

Wu Yi's heart was also mentioned in his throat just now, and he didn't feel the blood from the fist in his mouth, and his two eyes couldn't wait to open like copper bells. He had seen curly fur stepped on the back of a sheep like this on weekdays, but he would not choose to let the dog do it during the race, it was too dangerous, and the dog's life would be lost if he was not careful.

The commentator reacted quickly and was very excited, "Best in the audience!" Best in the game!! There is no doubt that if it makes it to the Grand Final, it will be a strong contender for the most valuable dog of the year! ”

The people who watched the live broadcast also complained when they heard the commentator's words, didn't this guy just say that the best in the Eastern Region of the Golden Horse didn't run? He also said that it would be a strong competition for the most valuable dog in the finals, and he slapped himself so quickly?! Where's the festival?!

The narrator seems to have completely forgotten what he said just now, the festival or something, and when the first day of the commentary was fed to the dog, he was still there and roared: "I have seen its value continue to double!" ”

The most valuable dog, it has a meaning behind it, and it also has a literal meaning.

Every shepherd dog participating in the finals will rise in value, and the head dog will rise even more, and the valuation of the most valuable racing dog in each finals is even more sky-high.

"The flock did not stop! Turned! Su Hou applied for on-the-spot guidance again! Very good, the timing was very accurate! The A dog on the other side should pay attention to the running position, and the one behind will also follow, don't lose the sheep! This turn is too fast! The flock is still accelerating! I have a hunch......"

The narrator looked at the data next to him, took a deep breath, and the three words "they may ......" turned around his lips, but he still didn't dare to say it now.

In the viewing hall, Wu Yi was so nervous that he wanted to bite his fingers off, and his eyes kept moving back and forth from the timing display in the upper right corner of the screen and the stadium picture in the middle of the screen, because his whole body was too tense and stiff like petrification.

Fang Zhao looked at the arena on the screen, suddenly smiled, and added the three words that the commentator didn't say: "Breaking the record." ”

Wu Yi's ears moved next to him, he heard Fang Zhao's words clearly, but his mind seemed to be incomprehensible, and his teeth began to tremble as if he couldn't understand it.

"Fence in! It's in the bar! ”

"All in the bar!"

"Four minutes and twenty seconds! Four minutes and twenty seconds!! The commentator's voice seemed to be hoarse, and he roared hysterically, "Since the reform of the game eighty years ago, the best time in the East Region is four minutes and twenty-one seconds, which is the record set by the team of the five-time champion 'Lightning' known as the divine dog that year, and now, the team of Dongshan Farm has rewritten the record with an advantage of one second!" It can be said that if the sheep breed is not changed, this time will be shortened by at least ten seconds! ”

Wu Yi felt as if he had heard everything, and as if he hadn't heard anything, his mouth was still shaking, and his words couldn't be smooth, "Breaking the record?" ”

"Hmm." Fang Zhao responded.

If it is a war dog in the post-apocalyptic period, Fang Zhao believes that in one minute, no more than two minutes at most, and without human guidance, they can drive all the sheep into the pen.

However, for Muzhou, who has been peaceful for 500 years in the new century, it is already very good that ordinary working dogs on the farm can do this.

Fang Zhao somewhat understood why those people at the beginning of Muzhou's establishment would make Muzhou's sheep herding race a tradition.

This is like the military service system that has never been canceled year after year in the new century, and the sheep race is also, although it will inevitably be mixed with some utilitarian dark things in it, but the competition and the training behind it have made those strong factors in their blood, whether they are meritorious dogs or surviving wild dogs, have been active, and once the world changes again one day, they will be able to quickly join the war as a reserve combat dog breed, just like in the last days.

Fang Zhao looked at the screen, and it turned out that Su Hou had already come out of the instructor's platform and went straight to the seven dogs resting on their stomachs at the end of the line, bursting into tears, crying and laughing. The organizer used this piece of music as the background sound of this scene, which belongs to this period, Suhou's exclusive BGM.
