Chapter 269 Promotion and Questioning

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the temperature in Melbourne is rising rapidly. If you stay outdoors for too long at this time, you will definitely sweat.

Federer finished his morning training and returned to his room. He took off his sweat-soaked clothes and was about to go to the bathroom when he heard the commentator's voice on the TV.

"No. 20 times, [-] times in a row to challenge Hawkeye successfully! Zhang Guan once again made history. Is he going to bring the record-breaking posture in track and field competitions to tennis games!" The commentator said. Let Federer feel particularly harsh.

"Succeeded in challenging Hawkeye [-] times in a row? Is this a joke?" Federer stopped in front of the bathroom door, turned and walked to the TV.

"The match between Zhang Guan and Haas is the second set. The score is 3-3. It seems to be even. In the first set, Zhang Guan won the game 6-4. Although Haas is usually a bit unlucky, But the strength is still very good, the first set was broken by Zhang Guan, it seems that Zhang Guan should not be underestimated, maybe he really has a chance to enter the final and meet me."

Federer couldn't help but sat down and began to watch the match between Zhang Guan and Haas.

"Why did this ball hit such a limit? It really went out of bounds... Is Zhang Guan going to challenge Hawkeye? The challenge was successful! It just pressed a little bit of the sideline. Haas is really good enough. Zhang Guan even challenged the ball It succeeded, it seems that this guy has caused bad luck in those years, and it hasn’t dissipated yet... No. 20 successful challenge once? 21 consecutive successful challenges! This is impossible!" Federer suddenly exclaimed, he still He felt that the commentator was joking, so he immediately went to the computer and looked for the battle report of the game so far.

"The challenge was successful, the challenge was successful, the challenge was successful..." In the battle report, Zhang Guan's previous successes in the challenges were all expressed normally, and every subsequent challenge of Zhang Guan's success was written in bold and black Mark it prominently.

"17, 18, 19, 20! Counting the one just now, it's really 21 times! What a hell! It's definitely not a coincidence that you can successfully challenge 21 times in a row, and it's not blind. Zhang Guan really saw the ball clearly The landing point! Is his eyesight so good that it can be the same as a computer? Is today April Fool's Day?"

……

"The ratings of the match between Zhang Guan and Haas hit a new high? Are you going to catch up with last year's semi-finals? This is the fourth round! No.20 succeeded in the second challenge? 22 consecutive challenges? My God! I'm afraid that the entire TV audience in Melbourne is waiting to see Zhang Guan succeed in 23 consecutive challenges!" Australian Open main committee chairman Terry hung up the phone, and then quickly switched the TV in the office to this one. Contest.

"Let Zhang Guan participate in the Australian Open, haha, I'm such a genius! This will be the most watched Australian Open ever! I really hope that Zhang Guan can reach the final and face Federer. By then It will definitely create a miracle in the ratings of the Grand Slam!" While Tai Li was looking forward to a bright future, on the screen, Zhang Guan had already started the No.20 challenge three times.

"No.20 three times! It must be a success!" Tai Li began to pray silently in his heart.

……

CCTV, sports channel director room.

"Sister Na lost 1-2 to the No. 6 seed Hingis. This time, our golden flowers in the women's singles event can be regarded as annihilated. We can let some people in the stage come back first, and leave a few people to report on the doubles. The competition is fine." The director sighed, and then suddenly remembered Zhang Guan.

"I don't know what's going on with Zhang Guan. His opponent in the fourth round was the golden boy Haas from Germany. How is he playing now? Does Zhang Guan have any hope of advancing to the quarterfinals?" The director said to a subordinate : "Cut the signal from the Vodafone Stadium and let me see."

After a while, the broadcast signal of the Vodafone Stadium was cut to the monitor in front of the director. The director put on his earphones and looked at the score on the screen at the same time.

"Zhang Guan is leading! The score of this set has reached 5-3. If Zhang Guan wins another round, he can win this set. The first set is also Zhang Guan's victory. So Zhang Guan is 2 -0 is already very close." The director thought silently.

"Challenge! Challenge! Challenge! Challenge!" The strong shouts of the audience came from the earphones.

"Challenge? Is it to challenge Hawkeye? Isn't it just to challenge Hawkeye? Why is the atmosphere so tense? It feels like a penalty shootout." The director was a little puzzled, but at this time, Zhang Guan on the screen had already successfully challenged .

There were more violent cheers at the scene, the audience was boiling, and the commentator's tone was also very excited.

"No.20 successfully challenged Hawkeye four times in a row? My God!" The director stayed on the spot. The next moment, he yanked off the earphones, his expression even more contorted.

"Why don't I let me broadcast this kind of game! Today is the weekend, if this can be broadcast, the ratings will definitely skyrocket! No, I have to find the director, even if it is a recording, I have to broadcast this game go out!"

……

Even though it was the weekend, Director Liu of the network management center did not rest at home today, he came to his office.One reason is that there are conditions to watch the Australian Open, and the other reason is that he is waiting for a very important call.

"2-0! Zhang Guan won again! If he wins the next set, he will enter the quarterfinals of the Australian Open! He has successfully challenged Hawkeye 25 times in a row. I think this Hawkeye system should be renamed. It's called the Zhang Guanyan system!" Director Liu said to himself.

At this moment, Director Liu's phone rang, and he immediately picked it up.

"I'm Xiao Liu! The Honorary Chairman, is he willing to speak for us? I'll say hello to the people from the Radio and Television Bureau next Monday! That's great, with his old man talking, the ban on Zhang Guan will definitely be lifted! Okay, don't worry, I must be prepared here, and once I receive the notice, I promise to increase my publicity efforts!"

Director Liu put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that he is willing to speak this time! I'll wait until tomorrow, when the people of the whole country know that Zhang Guan has entered the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, they will definitely be surprised!"

……

In the hotel room, Coach Joyce was also watching the live broadcast of the game.

"That's not necessarily the case, maybe I can succeed in the challenge 100%!" Zhang Guan's words were constantly circling in Coach Joyce's mind.

"The challenge is 100% successful. This is not a joke. Zhang Guan can really do this! Is this guy an alien? You need to accurately judge the landing point of the tennis ball during the game, but you can rely on your eyesight." Not enough, the image is presented on the retina, then transmitted to the brain through the nerve, and the brain makes analysis and judgment, so you must have excellent brain power. This requires not only the best vision, but also the strongest brain It seems that our track and field king is not only fast enough, but also has a much faster brain than others!"

……

The fourth game of the third set of the two sides.At this time, Haas once again ran out of opportunities to challenge.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew over the net, Haas ran hard but still failed to catch the ball, and then the referee directly judged Zhang Guan to score.

"This ball is out of bounds! Are the referees blind? If Wei still has a chance to challenge, he will definitely tell these referees who is right!" Haas shook his head angrily, and he really wanted to protest to the referee. , to express his dissatisfaction, but he also knew that that might only have the opposite effect.

"Oops, the last thing I want to see seems to have happened. Zhang Guan's consecutive challenges have also put a lot of pressure on the referee. Some balls are between out-of-bounds and in-bounds. When the line referee When they cannot make a clear judgment, they will directly make a judgment in favor of Zhang Guan, and they are also worried that Zhang Guan's challenge will be successful, causing their misjudgment!" Haas can feel that not only the score is behind, but the overall The situation is getting worse and worse for him.

Every successful challenge by a player is a misjudgment for the referee. As a referee, I certainly don't want to make many misjudgments.Now that Zhang Guan has successfully challenged more than 20 times in a row, it also put tremendous pressure on the referee, and the audience on the scene also looked like they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Every time Zhang Guan challenged, they all followed suit, which made the referee even more Judgment has become more cautious.

The speed of Zhang Guan's balls is originally a fast one, especially when serving a ball with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. During the process of landing and bouncing, the contact with the ground is only for a moment, so many times, the line referee It is also impossible to make a 100% accurate judgment. Some referees even think that the possibility of going out of bounds is higher, but because of concerns about their own misjudgment, the referee often makes some judgments in favor of Zhang Guan.

At this time, Haas felt very tired. Although the game was only in the third set and there were not too many rounds, Haas still felt very tired.This kind of tiredness is not caused by physical fatigue, but by psychological pressure.

The whole audience is looking forward to the success of Zhang Guan's next challenge. Today's Vodafone Stadium has become Zhang Guan's home field; because the line referee is worried about his misjudgment, he is more biased in his judgment. Zhang Guan; more importantly, Zhang Guan can succeed in every challenge!

Later, every time Zhang Guan said that he wanted to challenge, Haas felt terrified. Whether the referee punished Zhang Guan to score directly or ordered a re-kick-off, Haas felt frustrated that his efforts were wasted. sense.

Haas really hoped to hit a few beautiful stalemate balls to show his indomitable spirit and boost morale, but Zhang Guan did not give Haas this opportunity. With a no-success-it-or-benevolence attitude, basically three or five shots ended a ball.

"I can be knocked down, but I must never be knocked down!" Haas did not give up, even though he was 0-2 behind in the total score, even in the third set of coaching between the two sides, he was broken by Zhang Guan again , but he still persisted.

In the end, the score of 6-4 in the third set also fully proved Haas's will to stick to the end. If Zhang Guan hadn't been unlucky enough to break serve in one game, perhaps Haas would have the ability to drag the game into a tie-break .

"The game is over! Congratulations to Zhang Guan, who defeated Haas and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals! At the same time, we also congratulate Zhang Guan for making a history. He entered the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam for the first time in a professional tennis match." The commentator paused, and then said: "Perhaps before the game, many people speculated that Zhang Guan might defeat Haas and enter the quarterfinals, but I think everyone thinks this is a very difficult game. He will play very persistently. But no one would have imagined that Zhang Guanhui won the game in such a special way. He successfully challenged 32 times in the whole game, and he successfully challenged 32 times in a row! I did not expect Zhang Guanhui to have With such accurate judgment, I think that in the future competitions, no matter which player meets Zhang Guan, they will feel a little troublesome, at least in terms of challenging Hawkeye, they will not be able to beat Zhang Guan."

……

Successful 32 consecutive challenges brought not only widespread attention, but also a lot of doubts.Anything that makes people feel unexpected will attract doubts, not to mention that Zhang Guan successfully challenged Hawkeye 32 times in a row, which is completely a fantasy in everyone's eyes.

These doubts are also varied. Some say that the Hawkeye system of the Australian Open has loopholes, some say that there is a problem with the operation of the Hawkeye system, and some conspiracy theorists say that the main committee of the Australian Open wants to increase the ratings and media attention. , "Deliberately helping" Zhang Guan advance.

In the face of doubts, the main committee of the Australian Open first stood up and clarified.

"There is absolutely no problem with our operation on the Hawkeye system." The spokesperson continued: "Although the Hawkeye system does require an operator to operate, the operator only needs to press a few buttons when operating, and the entire 3D simulation The screen is still generated by the computer system, and it is impossible for the operator to change the 3D simulation screen generated by the computer system. Moreover, we also checked every challenge of Zhang Guan after the game, and the results were completely consistent with those in the game. "

"The computer programs of the Hawkeye system are all well-designed. We just purchased this system, but did not purchase the patent rights of this system. Therefore, we cannot carry out the established program without the program key and related codes. Modified, the so-called 'deliberately helping Zhang Guan advance' is obviously impossible."

"I will not answer the question about whether there are loopholes in the Hawkeye system. Because our Australian Open Organizing Committee is not the one who invented this system." The spokesperson looked at the manuscript in his hand and continued: "Our Hawkeye The system is provided by Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd., not only us, the Hawkeye system of other Grand Slam events and some high-level tennis events is also provided by Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd. Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd. has the patent right to use this system, and is also a qualified company designated by the International Tennis Federation."

The spokesperson of the Australian Open successfully dumped the "pot" to Hawkeye System Innovations Ltd., the supplier of the Hawkeye system.

However, just over an hour later, a statement appeared on the official website of Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd.The general content of the statement is that the company's Hawkeye system has no loopholes. At the same time, there are several attachments behind the statement, including the patent certificate of the Hawkeye system, the scientific and technological innovation award certificate issued by the Royal Palace Examinations Association, and the outstanding Science and Technology Contribution Award Certificate, Qualification Certificate issued by the International Tennis Federation, audit test reports of tennis stars responsible for auditing this technology, etc.Obviously, Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd. is very eager to prove that there is no problem with the Hawkeye system.

……

In the conference room of Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd., General Manager Alan put down the phone.

"I just had a phone call with Professor Paul Hawkins, the inventor of the Hawkeye system. Professor Hawkins said that our Hawkeye system uses a high-speed camera to capture the trajectory of the ball, including the trajectory before landing and the trajectory after landing, and then pass the formula Calculate the falling point of the ball, and then generate a three-dimensional image. In fact, the formula for calculating the falling point of the ball is not complicated, I think you have already learned about the calculation of parabolas in middle school!"

Allen took a sip of coffee, and then said: "So according to this theory, if you are a mathematician or physicist, you can calculate the fall of a tennis ball simply by relying on a few parabolic numbers, even if you don't need to look at it with your eyes." Point. Maybe Zhang Guan is using this method?"

"Using calculations? I don't believe it! Does he still have to bring a calculator and measuring tools to the court?" Someone immediately shook his head and said.

"I don't believe it either!" Allen sighed: "But you should know about the movie "Rain Man"! Like Raymond in "Rain Man", he has a great memory and can quickly count the number of things. The toothpick that fell on the ground, the speed of mental calculation is not inferior to the calculator..."

"But that's just a movie!" retorted the man just now.

"But "Rain Man" also has a prototype!"

"But the public and the media will certainly not accept this explanation!"

Allen waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and said at the same time: "The public and the media will indeed not accept this ridiculous explanation, so we need Zhang Guan himself to prove that he has the ability to judge where a tennis ball falls! "

"Let Zhang Guan prove it himself? Do you want him to compete with Haas again?"

"Of course it doesn't need to be so troublesome. We can hold a public test in Melbourne and invite media reporters and officials from the International Tennis Federation to participate. Find a serving machine and serve to the sideline. Let Zhang Guan play in front of everyone. Judge whether the ball is out of bounds." Allen said.

"What if Zhang Guan doesn't want to come?"

"Pay him to come! Contact Zhang Guan's agent immediately and ask how much he needs for appearance!" Allen continued firmly: "Everyone, the Eagle Eye system is the only product of our company, so no matter what, we We must prove to the world that our products are absolutely the safest and most reliable!"
