Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 194 A Dark Horse from Jamaica

"Friends from the audience, what I'm about to bring you is the final of the men's long jump event at the World Championships. Chinese players Liu Ming and Wang Jianan will appear in this event."

"This year's long jump competition can be said to be very fierce. A total of three players from our country participated in the long jump qualifying competition, but in the end only Liu Ming and Wang Jianan successfully advanced to the final."

"I have to admit that our country is facing happy troubles in the men's long jump event."

"There are 8 players with a high level of strength above 20 meters, but except for Wang Jianan, Shi Yuhao and Li Jinzhe, who is about to retire, the rest of the players are not big-name players."

"The domestic arena can display the strength of more than 8 meters 20, but in the world competition and the first-class masters, the performance level has dropped a lot and can't make it to the final. This is a realistic problem that needs to be solved urgently."

"Of course, besides Wang Jianan, we also have Liu Ming to look forward to!"

"Let us here wish Liu Ming can perform well in the competition and strive to win the first gold medal for our country in this World Championship!"

Although Mr. Yang said so in the live broadcast of the game, there was a little bit of unconfidence in his tone.

Without it, the data is there.

Looking at the achievements of the long jump event in the past ten years, there are six different champions in the seven competitions, and the men's long jump is showing a situation of competing for hegemony.

From the perspective of the average score of the bronze medal, except for the first ten years of the past 50 years, it is basically around 8 meters, and the gap is not very big.

而时段最佳夺冠成绩除了前20年一个过低、一个过高之外，基本就处在8米6到8米7之间。

Liu Ming's two-jump performance in the domestic qualifiers and preliminaries was stable at 8 meters, although it was a proper championship result in the last London World Championships.

But when it comes to players like Echevarria who don't talk about martial arts very much, the situation is really hard to say.

Echevarria, who is under 22 years old, is tall and long-legged, and has outstanding long jump talent.

The technical feature is that the board is 8 meters 4 without the board, and the board is 8 meters 6.

In other words, as long as he catches one of the six jumps, Echevarria can win the championship without any suspense...

While speaking, Wang Jianan stood on the track, and Teacher Yang cleared his throat and began to formally explain.

"The first Chinese player to appear is Wang Jianan."

"Wang Jianan is the athlete who played the most stable in the first match in my mind."

"But his condition in the qualifying round was not good this time, and he got stuck in the finals."

"Let's see how he does on his first jump."

"Okay! Wang Jianan started to run up and accelerate, and get on the board! Oh, this is a good jump!"

"Wait, the referee raised the red flag."

"Wang Jianan failed this jump, he should have stepped on the line and fouled!"

The replay of Wang Jianan's trial jump was played on the big screen and the rebroadcast camera at the same time.

The replay showed that Wang Jianan did cross the line with his toes after getting on the board.

"Obviously, Wang Jianan is more relaxed than in the qualifying round, but there may be some problems with the pace."

Wang Jianan shook his head and walked off the field with a dissatisfied expression.

The sand pool was filled immediately, and the No.2 player entered the arena immediately.

"Damn, I'm so excited for the first jump, I stepped on the line! Liu, it's up to you next time."

Compared with Wang Jianan's high fighting spirit.

After two consecutive games, Liu Ming's mentality seemed a little weak.

Not only is the physical exertion serious, but the competitive state has also declined sharply.

It seems that I must find some stimulation to get myself completely excited before the game!
"Next up is Sweden's Montreux."

"Look at his jump!"

"Montreux's stride is relatively tight, and the speed of the run-up feels that it has not fully increased to the full mark."

"Okay, very steady, a simple squat and push-up technique."

"It seems that he still wants a result first..."

For long jump and triple jump, athletes are very particular about their run-up.

While running fast, you must also run accurately. The sense of rhythm is the most important.

The steps must be steady, accurate, and ruthless.

The final pedal can fully display the strength of the individual.

Similar to Montreux's closed running, although the pace is stable enough, the results are definitely not ideal.

Sure enough, Montreux jumped only 7 meters 88.

In the highest level of track and field events such as the World Championships, if the score is less than 8 meters, I am afraid that you will not even be able to enter the medal final round.

"We see that the next third player to come on stage is the Jamaican athlete Gail."

"The young man is 23 years old this year, and his season best is 8 meters."

"Gail is very young, and it should be the first time to participate in a world competition like the World Championships."

"It's going to be nerve-wracking for an athlete like that to get on the field."

"In the finals, the first jump has a lot of thoughts, and it is easy to foul. The second jump is tight, and you can't show your strength, which leads to poor results. The third jump is a lot of psychological pressure. Maybe you should go home if you can't jump well. It's easy to go blank."

"Such athletes often finish their first World Series in a daze, but if you don't pay this 'tuition fee', it will be difficult for you to reach the top of the world."

Teacher Yang was talking here, when the audience suddenly burst into warm applause.

"Oh, look at Gail's jump."

"Hey, that's not bad! At least 8 meters 5, and no foul."

As soon as Teacher Yang's voice fell, the camera immediately played back.

It can be seen in close-up slow motion.

Gail's jump accelerated quickly.

Although the center of gravity was lowered when taking off, the flying height was very good.

One and a half steps in the air, the landing is also good.

The most important thing is this foot on the board, and Gail did it perfectly.

The toes are only 2 cm away from the tread line.

This can basically be called 100% on the board.

"Hey! Gail actually jumped 8 meters in the first jump. Seed players like Echevarria and Liu Ming have not yet appeared on the stage, and they are already under pressure!"

As Teacher Yang spoke, he felt very sweaty for Liu Ming.

With Gail's jump, the score of 8 meters can only be second.

The camera turned, and Liu Ming, who was warming up on the sidelines and waiting to line up to play, was very calm.

But in fact, he has quietly called out the system.

Then without thinking about it, I started to consume.

[Ding, I spent 10 free skill points and learned the King of Power Storage (Level [-])]

"At the first level, it consumes 5 stamina each time, and at the second level, it consumes 10 stamina each time."

He took a look at his stamina that had just recovered to 63, his competitive state was only 51, and he had only 3 free skill points left.

To be honest, Liu Ming was a little panicked.

Before [King of Reaction] + [King of Sprint] + [King of Accumulation] all three skills were fully activated, plus the gain of [King of Bounce], and he had to be in a full competitive state to jump to 8 meters 49.

Although the [King of Accumulated Power] has been upgraded now, I don't know if the No. 51 can be stabilized with a competitive state of 1.

If it is stable, then naturally everyone will be happy.

Winning gold in the game saves physical exertion.

In the case of one jump to determine the outcome, sufficient rest time can be reserved for the next [-]-meter final, and there is also room for personal best results in the long jump event.

Maybe it's time for the next competition.

In the long jump event, you can get another wave of skill points.

But if you can't hold it steady, then GG will carry it away...

When Liu Ming was worrying about gains and losses on the sidelines, the game continued on the court.

"Next up is the neon player Shiroyama Shotaro."

"His best result this season is 8 meters. Like Yuki Hashioka, he is a very fast-improving young player."

"Especially Yuki Hashioka, he is definitely a contestant."

"Fortunately, we have a talented player like Liu Ming who has suddenly risen, otherwise in the near future in the field of men's long jump, the situation may really be reversed by Nihong!"

"We see that Shiroyama Shotaro performed very well in this jump."

"No foul, he jumped out of a good score of 8 meters 21!"
