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

Chapter 195 The harder you work, the more desperate you will be
Shiroyama Shotaro's 8 meters depends on who he compares with.

In a world competition like the World Championships, if there is no accident, this result may be just enough to guarantee him to enter the next three trials.

But if it is the Asian Championships or the Asian Games, his result may be locked in a medal in advance.

Therefore, when the jump was completed, the neon coaching staff and the audience watching the game gave him warm applause.

Shiroyama Shotaro also seemed very satisfied with this trial jump, so he ran to the preparation area to find Liu Ming.

After bowing at 90 degrees, he said in slightly broken English: "Liu Sang, I am moving forward with you as my goal, and I am trying to shorten the gap with you."

The nature of Nihong people is like this, and Liu Ming's hard power is stronger than him, so Shiroyama Shotaro is very polite to Liu Ming.

Of course.

If it is a player whose strength is not as good as his.

Shiroyama Shotaro may not have such a humble attitude.

Seeing the other party's humility and politeness, Liu Ming was a little uncertain about Shiroyama Shotaro's true intentions.

But it is undeniable that things like national righteousness are definitely a shot in the arm for Chinese people.

Taking a look at his competitive status, which suddenly soared from 51 to 60, Liu Ming nodded in satisfaction, "I wish you good luck."

"The next player to play is Cuban player Echevarria. He is also the most likely player to win the World Championships. Let us wait and see how he is in state!"

Mr. Yang, who was watching the match on the spot, was explaining, and at the same time, like other spectators, he stretched his neck and waited for Echevarria's first trial jump.

I saw Echevarria took a deep breath, and then started to run. At this moment, he transformed into a cheetah that found food, and rushed forward without hesitation.

After Echevarria's run-up, there was only a "bang".

"It's on the board!"

"Echevarria hit the board on the first try."

"The height he jumps is amazing."

The next moment, Echevarria fell into the bunker.

The traces on the edge of the bunker far exceeded the eight-meter mark.

"It's more than eight meters, and it seems to be much more than eight meters!"

"I'm afraid it's 8 meters! I jumped over 6 meters in the first attempt. Echevarria worked hard! It seems that Gail's first jump put a lot of pressure on him."

Teacher Yang's tone is full of worry, obviously if Echevarria's jump is successful.

Liu Ming's 8 meters can only compete for the third place.

However, at this moment, the broadcast screen was shown to the referee at the springboard, and the referee raised the red flag.

"Foul! Echevarria may have thought too much about this jump, what a pity!"

Teacher Yang's voice suddenly raised a bit.

A close-up of Echevarria's footsteps when he took off was also shown on the big screen.

It can be clearly seen from above that his toes are clearly sticking out of the line.

But Echevarria pouted, obviously very dissatisfied with this.

Echevarria really wanted to jump an amazing result in the first jump, so as to respond to Gale and deter the challenger.

However, there is a saying that things must be reversed when they are extreme.

It was precisely Echevarria who thought too much and fouled because of it.

Then came out to participate in the trial jump is the South African player Manyonga and the famous player Henderson of the United States. These two players are also capable of winning the championship, but their first jump was very mediocre.

The former is 8 meters 28, and the latter is 8 meters 25.

It is far from Gail's 8 meters 56.

Immediately afterwards, players from various countries took turns to play.

But everyone's strategy for the first jump is obviously conservative, in order to get an effective result first, so there are many people who fall behind in the run-up stage.

The result of insufficient acceleration is that the results are very mediocre, and there will be no players who break through 8 meters 20 in one jump.

The 11th appearance is the neon long jump genius Hashioka Yuki.

He only jumped 8 meters 01 in this jump, but judging from the ranking, he can actually be ranked in the top six!
Finally, after Hashioka Yuki completed the trial jump, it was Liu Ming's turn to play.

"Look everyone, our country's player Liu Ming is the last one to come on stage! I hope he can achieve a good result!"

Teacher Yang said.

At this time, all the audience's eyes were focused on Liu Ming, and the audience in front of the TV was also looking forward to it.

Liu Ming stood in the run-up area, and he adjusted his position.

Glancing at his competitive state, which was still at 60, he took a deep breath.

Then turn on [King of Reaction] and [King of Sprint] to start the run-up.

In just a few steps, Liu Ming's speed has reached the extreme.

"Oh!"

Gail and Echevarria on the sidelines frowned at the same time when they heard the short but powerful sound of hitting the board.

Judging from Liu Ming's run-up and performance on the board, this may be a very good trial jump.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Ming jumped high.

[Ding, breaking the Asian record, +3 free skill points]

……

"This, it seems to be over 8 meters 6!"

Director Kan next to Teacher Yang shouted.

Liu Ming's trial jump this time is about the same distance as Echevarria's trial jump just now, both of which have passed the 8 meter mark.

"Is there any foul?"

While Mr. Yang was questioning, the camera had already been shown to the referee.

"It must be a foul!"

"It must be super wind speed!"

Gail and Echevarria also looked at the referee at the same time, but they saw the referee raised a white flag, which indicated that Liu Ming had successfully attempted the jump.

"No foul, perfect board!"

"The wind speed is minus [-], the result is valid!"

"A score of over 8 meters!"

The audience at the scene gave out earth-shattering cheers at the same time, but the cheers fell into Echevarria's ears, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

It was also the first trial jump, and they also jumped over the 8-meter mark, but the results were completely different. Echevarria's trial jump ended in a foul by stepping on the line, but Liu Ming crossed the 6-meter mark.

Comparing the two, Echevarria felt that after Gale, he lost the initiative again.

At this time, the surveyor also gave Liu Ming's final score of 8 meters.

"8 meters 62!"

"Liu Ming jumped 8 meters 62, which is a very good result!"

"Under the pressure of Gail's jump of 8 meters 56, he finally withstood it!"

"It's so dreamy! Liu Ming broke his PB in the first jump of the final, and also broke his Asian record!"

“男子跳远经过这些年的高速发展，整体有可能即将回到91年东京世锦赛时期迈克鲍威尔和卡尔刘易斯世纪对决的水平了，世界范围内目前有若干位8米5、8米6的选手，像当年那样8米8、8米9的巅峰对决似乎已经离他们不远了！”

Although Mr. Yang said so, let’s look at the PB and SB of the contestants on the spot.

This year, there are only three players who have jumped over 8 meters, even if you count the super wind speed. If you consider today's game state, perhaps only Gail and Echevarria can barely compete with Liu Ming's 6 meters.

In other words, Liu Ming's jump basically secured a medal for the Huaxia delegation in advance.

As for which piece of gold, silver and copper is, it depends on whether Gail or Echevarria can withstand the pressure.

Sure enough, when the first round of trial jumps was over.

All the contestants showed serious expressions.

Among them, the facial expression of the neon player Shiroyama Shotaro is the most exciting.

He had just vowed that he would work hard to narrow the gap with Liu Ming.

In a blink of an eye, I found that the harder I worked, the more desperate I became!
