Zhang Tianxin was originally considered an enhanced part, but now her condition has not recovered, and she is actually at the same level as the other two.

In this way, the Chinese team's hope of winning the championship rests on Zhang Tianyun.

However, Zhang Tianyun is also a little tired after winning eight gold medals, but the good news is that most of the players from the other seeded teams have also participated in individual competitions, and they are not in their best form at this time.

Therefore, Zhang Tianyun is still ready to fight with all her strength. This gold medal is very important now after the women's table tennis and men's table tennis have lost successively.

Of course, there is no need to work hard in the preliminaries. The Chinese team easily entered the final with fourth place. Let's save the hard work until tomorrow.

Now it is the comrades of the men's volleyball team who have to work hard. Their quarter-finals will also be held in the afternoon, but the opponent is not a strong first-line team, but the Dutch team that is in decline.

The Dutch men's volleyball team has always been known for its height and strength, and its tactics have always tended to be simple and efficient, especially good at attacking and blocking.

The Chinese men's volleyball team is just the opposite. Since height and strength have always been weak points, the tactical style of play naturally tends to be nimble and fast, good at technique and coordination, and has always been known for its superb small ball skills.

But now the Dutch men's volleyball team is falling into a period of inactivity. The main players are too old and have too many injuries. The tactics are too monotonous, and the technique is relatively rough. In fact, it is very easy to be targeted and restrained.

The Chinese men's volleyball team is just the opposite. Although they have eaten second-hand goods that are not needed by men's basketball and men's football over the years, even picking up leftovers has increased their average height from 1.85 meters to 1.90 meters, which is the same as the average height of 1.97 meters. Mi's Dutch team is still a little behind, but the gap is much smaller than in previous years.

What Wu Jie didn't expect the most was that although the average height of the Chinese men's volleyball team has increased, the advantages in technology and coordination have not been lost, and even the attributes of Xiaolingkuai are still alive and well.

In fact, the impressive results of the Chinese men's volleyball team in this Olympic Games come from the maintenance of advantages + the reinforcement of weaknesses.

Excluding the average age, this Chinese team now has almost no obvious shortcomings, but there are quite a few strengths worth mentioning.

So at the beginning of the game, Wu Jie, who didn't know much about the ball, saw the tall Dutch men's volleyball team make various low-level mistakes, and kept being scored by the nimble and fast Chinese team with various lobs at the net port.

The Dutch fans were naturally very angry, because even in terms of blocking in the front row, the Dutch men's volleyball team was obviously at a disadvantage. Not only did their height advantage not turn into a blocking advantage, but they became old ladies who could overtake in wheelchairs.

After the whole game, the Chinese men's volleyball team performed better than the Dutch team in serving, spiking, blocking, saving, cooperating, and making mistakes, so winning is a matter of course, even if it is a 3:0 victory And well deserved.

"Boss, why do I feel that men's volleyball games are no worse than our football and basketball games in terms of viewing pleasure?"

At this time, Lin Yaodong made a complaint that made Wu Jie's eyelids twitch, but what hurt the most was that Wu Jie, who had finally patiently watched a volleyball match this time, had a similar thought in his heart.

"That's because our men's volleyball team pays more attention to the use of skills and teamwork, unlike the European and American men's volleyball teams who only blindly pursue speed and strength. Also, our first pass and second pass actually belong to the men's volleyball team. The superstars in the field can even be regarded as one of the best in active service. Therefore, it is difficult for European and American teams to achieve a one-hit kill. In addition, the overall strength of the men's volleyball team is average and their will is tenacious. They can always play more rounds This makes the men's volleyball game not only wonderful and clean in offense, but also a variety of flying pounces and diving saves in defense. All these reasons are combined, and it is natural for the Chinese men's volleyball team to watch It’s high. However, this Chinese men’s volleyball team is indeed the most enjoyable team in this Olympic Games, and many foreign volleyball fans have become fans of them, and you’re only making a fuss because you don’t usually watch it!”

At this time, Uygur, who had just served as the core of the U19 women's volleyball team, finally published his evaluation as an insider.

Wu Jie and Lin Yaodong, even Lu Da blushed!

Not only did they see less, it was the first time they took a serious look at it!

Chapter 5 Thirty Do you feel the pressure of the master?

After the men's volleyball quarter-finals, the Chinese audience will usher in another much-anticipated final—the men's long jump final.

Gong Xiaoya had already geared up, ready to kill all the famous American generals like pigs and dogs.

But to say that the Americans paid the most attention to this final, because the top three players in the world in the long jump event are all from the United States without exception. This is a project that the United States previously thought could be contracted.

So if Gong Xiaoya took away the gold medal in a one-on-one match, the Americans would be able to experience the collapse of a stick on the archery field like ascending to heaven!

The Soviets of course have objections to this, because the famous Soviet player Emyyan from Armenia is also a seed player. He jumped a personal best of 1987 meters in 8, which is also the second closest to the world record of 86 meters. Good results.

But this person's rise was as fast as his silence. Not only did he fail to create a more dazzling long jump result, but his performance in this Olympic Games was even more sluggish, and he almost failed to enter the finals!

At this time, look at Gong Xiaoya's stable high-level performance in the qualifying round. No matter how you think about it, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Lewis and Gong Xiaoya are the most champions.

Gong Xiaoya did not get carried away with complacency. He knew very well that the long jump competition in this Olympic Games has a very high gold content. It can be regarded as the strongest competition until 2024. He has three opponents who are ranked in the top five in the Long Jump Hall of Fame by 2024.

These opponents also have the potential to break the world record, and the long jump is a game that can often create miracles. Of course, he will not take it lightly.

"I have already said that the bunker should have been enlarged long ago. If I failed to set a new world record today, it must be caused by the damn bunker of the organizers. They are not professional at all!"

If it's not good to play tricks on the opponent in the long jump competition, then you can only shoot at the host, so Gong Xiaoya made all the sticks so angry in the pre-match interview!

Wu Jie shook his head at this moment, he felt that after this Olympic Games, Bang Zi's resentment towards them might exceed Japan's!

But the end of "hate" may be "fear". Since they have already done the first day of junior high school, they can't be idle from the first day to the fifteenth day of the junior high school. They have to round and flatten this stick every day, cook, fry and fry , Ling Chi cut the flesh until they are afraid!

"It's a pity that Bangzi didn't have a contestant to enter the finals, and he couldn't be humiliated face to face. One thing is missing!"

Gong Xiaoya was already warming up at this time, but looking around, there was no Asian player besides him, and most of the 12 players were black players.

The Olympic long jump final rules are different from the qualifying competition. If there are more than 8 athletes, it will be divided into two halves. Each person is allowed to try jumping 3 times in the first half. Among them, the top 8 athletes with the best effective results will enter the second half and try again. Jump 3 times, and finally divide the rankings according to the three players with the best effective results.

The first trial jump in the first half is naturally sorted according to the ranking of the qualifying round.

Gong Xiaoya was No.1 in the qualifying round, so he played last in the finals, which is more or less a bit of a bargain.

But in fact, the results of the first jump do not have much reference value. Everyone in this jump is mainly to adapt to the environment, such as wind speed and venue, and secondly to check their own status in order to prepare for the next two jumps.

Therefore, the best jump before Gong Xiaoya's appearance was only 8.14 meters, which was created by the American player Myrix, and Powell, who Gong Xiaoya regarded as the biggest threat, directly fouled on the first jump.

Gong Xiaoya naturally attracted everyone's attention when he appeared on the stage, but this time he didn't play fancy tricks anymore, and his first trial jump followed the normal process, so the final result was only 8.25 meters!

Of course, this "only" is a bit of Versailles, 8.25 meters can win a silver medal in the last Olympic Games, but compared with his crazy performance in the qualifying round, then this result can only be called "only".

The preparation time for today's final is also different from that of the qualifying round. The preparation time for the first three jumps of the 12 contestants is 90 seconds, and an additional 30 seconds will be added when entering the last three jumps.

In addition, the order of each jump in the second round will be sorted according to the results of the previous round, so Gong Xiaoya's second trial jump is still the last one.

The Chinese audience was very happy watching the second round of trial jumps. Gong Xiaoya's first jump obviously caused a lot of psychological pressure on other contestants. The most obvious impact was that more fouls were committed.

This is because they all felt the pressure of 8.25 meters. They felt that their first jump was only this distance, and their second jump should at least not be much different from their first jump, right?

But the problem is that for Gong Xiaoya, this result can really be jumped out casually.

But for others, even Lewis and Powell, there is no guarantee that they will jump out of this result every time.

Gong Xiaoya's stable high-level performance is achieved through massive training time that ordinary people can't have. He has trained his control to the extreme of human beings, but other people want to exceed 8.2 meters. It depends on the state and luck.

And this is Gong Xiaoya's tactics in this final - he wants to destroy the mentality and rhythm of the opponents bit by bit through the stability that ordinary people can't match, so as to prevent them from jumping out of their own limit level.

Soon, the players except Gong Xiaoya had completed the second trial jump, but this time there were 5 players who failed to achieve results due to fouls in different links, including Powell who fouled in the first jump, and Lewis with only 8.09 meters in the first jump.

Gong Xiaoya's best result before his appearance was actually created by the Soviet player Emyyan. He created a score of 8.34 meters in his second jump, temporarily surpassing Gong Xiaoya's first jump of 8.25 meters.

At this time, the eyes of the whole world were fixed on Gong Xiaoya who appeared last, but most of the eyes were full of malice, cursing him that it would be better to directly foul and get no results.

But looking at Gong Xiaoya with a calm face and even an extremely confident smile, most people knew that their curses probably had no effect.

This prediction was very accurate. Gong Xiaoya handled all the links in the second trial jump very easily and comfortably, and fouls were even impossible. The final score of 8.43 meters directly made all the contestants who stopped to watch in the rest area gasp. It's cool!

It's not that Lewis, Powell, Merricks and others can't jump such a result, but the problem is that Gong Xiaoya is too relaxed from approach to take-off, to the posture in the air and the expression on his face. Everyone can see that he has no jump at all. Give it your all, it's like playing house there.

But it was such an understatement of a trial jump that actually jumped out of the previous gold-winning results, which formed a huge psychological impact on everyone.

Of course, pressure can not only affect the opponent's mentality, but also stimulate the opponent's potential. Powell is just a player who needs stimulation and pressure to realize his potential.

Gong Xiaoya's most important opponent in this final is also No.1 in long jump from this original plane.

If Powell really jumps 8.95 meters once, then even he is not sure that he will win, because exceeding 8.50 meters is the limit that he can no longer control accurately, and exceeding 8.90 meters is something that even he needs state and luck to achieve Achievement.

At this time, Powell was under tremendous psychological pressure. He had fouled in the first two attempts. If he failed to score this time, he would be eliminated directly!

This kind of pressure is not small, so it can be seen that Powell, who was the first to appear in the third trial jump, his entire chest was heaving violently, and the blood flow in his body was accelerated under the stimulation of huge pressure, so that his complexion began to change. Ruddy up.

Seeing this, Gong Xiaoya couldn't help but yawned, because Powell's preparation time was too long, and it seemed that the time was almost over, and he was still lucky.

At this time, the camera accurately captured Gong Xiaoya's action, which could be interpreted as disrespect, and immediately heard a shout of "ah"-this was Powell's roar before he finally started running!

"Damn, you run really fast, this momentum is going to break the record!"

Gong Xiaoya couldn't help feeling a little panic when he saw Powell who was clearly on the verge of breaking the boat. After all, this is a five-star monster with the potential to jump to 8.95 meters!

What makes him stronger than Powell is that the "limit distance" is slightly higher, and the control power that ordinary people cannot have, but if he is unlucky and encounters the opponent's explosive seed, he may not be able to defeat it 100%!

"American player Powell, his approach speed is very fast, he is also full of momentum, and he takes off...amazing flying in the air. This American player with long hands and long feet looks like a big bird with open wings in the air... …It landed, next to the 9-meter line, as long as there is no violation at this position, it will definitely exceed 8.6 meters!"

Song Shixiong was explaining Powell's shocking jump in the live broadcast room at this time. Since he had seen Gong Xiaoya's illegal 8.83 meters in the qualifying round, Song Shixiong could judge from the position where Powell landed that the result of this jump was definitely not bad!

Sure enough, the two referees in the bunker area rushed forward to measure, and what they finally measured was a result that made American audiences jump from the TV—"8.90 meters"!

"Haha, I just said that Powell is the strongest player at the limit! He copied the jump of the 21st century!"

"Poor Lewis, he can only compete for second place now!"

"Powell is simply possessed by God, but I want to see the expressions of the Chinese people now, it must be very exciting!"

"..."

At this time, the camera seemed to have heard the call of the American audience, and immediately gave a close-up of Gong Xiaoya's face... How should I put it, his expression at this time was indeed wonderful in a certain way, but it made the laughing American The audience froze...

These Americans did not see the despair they imagined, but saw Gong Xiaoya showing a smile that seemed to be secretly amused, and then they probably thought that such an expression was not suitable for being photographed, so they immediately withdrew the smile forcibly , Changed to a look of "Please mourn and resign".

Gong Xiaoya's expression of attending a funeral is of course more inappropriate, but it is also reasonable to some extent, because a referee from Africa is raising a red flag in the "jump zone" at the moment, which means that Powell has fouled in the jump zone .

Then a belated replay explained the red flag, and Powell in the camera clearly touched the jump line with his big foot, and according to the rules, this situation is naturally considered a foul.

This time, the American audience not only lost their smiles, they all stopped in place as if they had lost their souls. Many people even kept dancing and dancing before it was too late to cancel.

The Chinese audience naturally replaced them. They laughed more presumptuously than Gong Xiaoya. Even Song Shixiong couldn't help hey a few times, then quickly coughed a few times to divert the embarrassment, and then expressed condolences to the American contestants in an extremely cheerful voice. What a pity to foul!

Gong Xiaoya also knew that he couldn't laugh out loud now, so he suppressed a smile and shook his head and sighed.

But looking at his appearance that is about to suffocate internal injuries, he really doesn't have any acting skills at all, no wonder he can't be a cross talk actor, he can't hold back his laughter at all!

But Gong Xiaoya's happiness is understandable, how can he not be happy that the strongest opponent has played himself to death like this?

It was Powell's third foul, and failing three consecutive attempts meant he was eliminated.

Wu Jie is not surprised, because Powell's nickname is "Foul King". This is not the first time that he has suffered bad results due to too many fouls in the World Series, and even been eliminated directly.

Today's Gong Xiaoya has put heavy pressure on all the players, and Powell is also a player with a hot temper and a gambler's mentality. In this case, he lost the bet and was eliminated miserably, that's nothing more than normal.

Gong Xiaoya's mood has become very good now. Although there are more than one historical-level star present today, the only one who can really threaten him is Powell, who has outstanding upper and lower limits, not Lewis, who has been undefeated for almost ten years.

Although Lewis has achieved the highest competition achievement in history in the original plane, and also completed an unprecedented four consecutive Olympic championships, his "personal absolute performance" is slightly inferior. To put it bluntly, he is also a stable player, but the upper limit than Powell.

Gong Xiaoya didn't take Lewis seriously, because no matter how stable the opponent's performance was, he would never be able to catch up with him. He belonged to Tianke Lewis.

In the third jump attempt, Gong Xiaoya easily jumped out of 8.57 meters with a desperate lower limit.

This result can win the championship in advance in most competitions, but looking at Gong Xiaoya's relaxed and freehand posture, especially the result that each jump is more than ten centimeters farther than the previous one, it is hard not to make people feel— — He can also jump out of ideas for better grades.

"The result of 8.57 meters seems very easy for you. We also noticed that every time you try to jump, you have improved by more than ten centimeters compared to the last time. Are you imitating Zhao Ritian in the archery range?"

This was a question asked by a Japanese reporter during the intermission. The epic humiliation just now made his memory too deep, so he naturally asked such a question.

"What's wrong with Zhao Ritian?" Of course Gong Xiaoya pretended not to know anything, he is not a reporter, how could he get news from other arenas so quickly, "But you are right, this result is really easy for me , of course I will improve on this basis next time, because this is the normal rhythm of the long jump competition!"

Gong Xiaoya suddenly stopped pretending, because this thing should be invisible if it is pretended to the extreme.

"Congratulations on becoming the leader in the first half trial jump. The second half trial jump will start soon. Who do you think will be your most threatening opponent?"

This was a question from a Chinese reporter. Since it was not aggressive, it made Gong Xiaoya very uncomfortable. She stood there thinking for a while before answering.

"I think Powell is my biggest threat. Although his jump was fouled, it also proved that he has the potential to surpass the world record. As for the others, I don't think they can challenge me. My opponent in the second half will be that A world record line!"

Gong Xiaoya felt that his words could not be regarded as pretentious, because he did have the qualifications to challenge the world record!

But these words spread to the ears of journalists in other countries through translation, especially to the ears of audiences from various countries. Although their reason told themselves that what Gong Xiaoya said was true, the arrogance cultivated over the centuries just refused to believe Gong Xiaoya Can break the world record.

This allowed Lewis and Emilian to carry all the expectations of the two Western camps. Unfortunately, after the unlucky Emilian played, he directly used a foul to make the cooking boss take a sip of vodka.

However, some robbers are not much better. Lewis' jump of 8.45 meters after the seventh appearance is not bad, but it is still not as good as Gong Xiaoya's third jump.

At this time, Gong Xiaoya's pressure was directly reduced to zero. Anyway, even Lewis, who had the best score, did not jump more than 8.5 meters, so he can try to challenge the limit from now on.

But he still kept a little bit of strength in this jump. This is to try to reduce the turnover rate to a level that is not easy to foul. Although this will definitely affect the final performance, when a result of 8.75 meters is declared valid by three white flags at the same time It also means that he can have two chances to really hit the limit.

Chapter 531 What is circle kicking!

Gong Xiaoya's 8.75 meters is enough to overwhelm most of the players present. Except for Lewis and Amy Young who have jumped with better results, and this will be a fluke, the others have given up hope of catching up.

Emyan almost gave up soon after, because his full jump was only 8.46 meters, and this was his best result in half a year, so the Soviets basically withdrew from the stage of competing for the gold medal.

At this time, Lewis, who played seventh, became the only hope for the two camps in the West, and the active long jump No. In one jump, he jumped out of an excellent result of 1 meters.

Although this result failed to surpass Gong Xiaoya, it finally narrowed the gap between the two sides to within a few millimeters. The facial muscles of the American audience that had been stiff for a long time were finally loosened.

Gong Xiaoya did not show any signs of anxiety, but Lewis' 8.70 meters made his blood start to fill up. This is the performance of finally entering the competitive state after being properly stimulated.

In fact, to create better results, he needs moderate stimulation from his opponents.

If he continues to compete in a relaxed atmosphere without opponents, he may not even be able to jump out of a score of 8.80 meters or more.

After this appearance, Gong Xiaoya's expression became serious, and he raised his arms high again, inviting the audience to applaud and cheer for him.

But you don't need to think about it, this action ushered in only the host audience, as well as boos from the largest number of American audiences.

Gong Xiaoya's expression became a little uneasy, and the live broadcast camera hit his face again in due course.
