Orc Undead Sports Warrior

When it was Lu Wei's turn to go up, he glanced in Wang Qiao's direction as he walked to throw the arc.

At this moment, Wang Qiao was already standing on the railing of the stands closest to the Undying, and shouted loudly to Lu Wei: "Don't put too much force into this shot, be steady!" As he spoke, he kept making downward pressing motions with both arms.

While everyone else was giving it their all, Wang Qiao had Lu Wei choose a more conservative tactic, as he had a very detailed understanding of Lu Wei's training.

After entering university, Lu Wei focused on the 400-meter dash and was considered a relatively outstanding member of the team. However, his performance didn't improve much, and in Wang Qiao's view, his daily training only served to maintain his competitive form. He could clearly sense that Lu Wei didn't have much interest in track and field and wouldn't pursue a career in sports after graduation, because he lacked the desire to continuously improve and defeat his opponents.

Everything changed dramatically after the Ningcheng Championships. In that competition, Lu Wei not only made great progress in the 400-meter race, but also won first place in the shot put and was even very competitive in the javelin. All of this seemed very strange.

What's most surprising is the qualitative change in Lu Wei's mental state during the matches. In the past, he was just going through the motions, with winning or losing being secondary. In the later matches, he was almost always determined to win.

In just a few months, Wang Qiao and Lu Wei participated in only three track and field events. Every day, Wang Qiao's mind was preoccupied with how to provide Lu Wei with a suitable training plan. Every day, Wang Qiao watched a lot of competition videos, and he never missed a foreign sports weekly magazine. Now, he was working at almost the maximum capacity every day.

Therefore, he simply didn't have the energy to think about anything else; every training plan and match tactic he made was based on Lu Wei's actual situation.

For example, in the shot put competition, Wang Qiao had never seen Lu Wei participate in a shot put competition before, and couldn't even recall any training sessions. But his good results were undeniable.

Even though this result came quite suddenly, Wang Qiao only thought that Lu Wei was in very good physical condition. A middle-aged man wouldn't believe in time travel; even if he were told it existed, he would never believe it was happening to someone he knew.

Lu Wei hasn't been training in shot put for very long, and Wang Qiao believes his endurance might be a problem. Especially in terms of upper body strength, Lu Wei is unlikely to compare with professional athletes. With six throws in the final, Wang Qiao thinks it will be difficult for Lu Wei to maintain a high level of performance in all six throws in such a high-level competition.

He gave it his all in all six throws, so it's likely that he won't be able to guarantee the quality of the last two attempts. Another point is that Lu Wei has only practiced his technique for less than three months, so it's unlikely that he can use it with ease.

"Don't rush, sigh..." Before Wang Qiao could retract his movements, the referee raised the red flag.

Lu Wei had been pushing too hard, and in his final step, he lost his balance and his right foot landed on the barrier in the throwing area. This barrier is designed to prevent athletes from going out of bounds during the competition. Athletes can touch the inside of the barrier to prevent themselves from going out of bounds, but they cannot touch the top edge of the barrier.

"At this point, let's hand over the decision-making power for the game to Lu Wei..." Coach Jiang was speechless at this scene. Wang Qiao had just given the instructions for the game, and the players had already made their own decisions. It would have been better to let Lu Wei make the decisions himself. He still hadn't forgotten the scene when he first met Lu Wei. His emotions were like those of a wounded wild beast, and Wang Qiao was stuttering when he spoke back then.

这一投大多数队员都拼了一把，白俄罗斯队员米克涅维奇这一投的成绩是21米03，也冲进了21米。塞尔维亚队员瓦多乌尼克和德国队员巴特尔斯这一投从8名以外一举杀进前8名。

Hoffa saw that no teammate came close to his score in this round of competition. His old rival, Adam Nelson, only barely cleared 21 meters once out of three attempts. He didn't put his full strength into that attempt; he was just getting into the rhythm.

Even for a highly experienced athlete, it's difficult to maintain the same feel for the game in every match. For example, if the athlete felt that raising their arm slightly during the throw in the previous match would improve the throwing effect, this action might result in a higher throwing angle in the next match. Everything depends on the athlete's physical condition and mental state on that day.

Although he only used 60-70% of his strength in this throw, Hofa's score still exceeded 20.5 meters, which is already terrifying. Hofa felt that he was in very good physical condition today, and his rotation was smoother than usual. He felt that releasing the ball before his body was directly in the throwing area was much more effective.

Although he didn't exert his full strength with his upper body this time, he deliberately added some power when spinning, making the spin noticeably faster than usual.

"You can tell from Hoffa's expression that he didn't use his full strength this time, but was deliberately trying to find his rhythm. Hoffa is really terrifying this year. He easily surpasses 20.5 meters with every shot. From the Golden League to the World Championships, he has maintained excellent competitive form. It will be very difficult for Lu Wei to make history today, and it won't be easy for him to maintain his current performance. Adam Nelson and Milkonievic also surpassed 21 meters today. This shot put competition will undoubtedly be the most competitive one yet."

Commentator Yang Li appeared enthusiastic, and his emotions rose as the match progressed.

"It's not easy for anyone. Look at these players, they've prepared for so many years, but they only have a maximum of 6 chances after they get on the field. If they make a slight mistake, all the preparation of the past two years will be wasted. If it's the Olympics, all the preparation of the past 4 years will be condensed into these 6 chances. Some people might be eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Competitive sports are really too cruel!" After listening to Yang Li's commentary, Mr. Lu suddenly sighed.

"I don't care about anything else today, I just hope that Lu Wei can win the championship." Lu's mother also seemed very excited in front of the TV.

"The first to compete in the final is Germany's Bartels. His best result this year is 21.13 meters. After the first three rounds, his highest result was 20.34 meters, ranking 8th. He was lucky to stay in the final. He didn't seem very excited in today's competition. Let's see if he can perform better in his last three throws."

It's clear that Bartels really wanted to exert force, both in his footwork and upper body movements. However, shot put requires full-body coordination; brute force alone cannot guarantee good results.

His throw did not exceed 20 meters, a far cry from his final result.

"Oh dear, Bartels' movements are very tense today. Forcing himself to exert force under such conditions will only lead to more trouble than he's worth..." Yang Li sighed. It was clear that Bartels didn't have many opportunities left today.
