Chapter 885: The Blockbuster in the Ring Competition

Federer was sitting in the stands, having won the Olympic bronze medal in the just-concluded tennis semi-final against Djokovic.

After all, Federer has won many Wimbledon champions, and he is best at playing on grass. At Wimbledon, Federer is very popular. As long as he does not meet Murray, most British people support Federer more. His victory over Djokovic is also expected.

At this time, Federer looked at Zhang Guan solemnly.

"Zhang Guan, you should have felt it. The atmosphere at home is frightening, suffocating, and even desperate! What you are facing is not just Murray, but the entire UK! Will, now standing behind Murray, supporting him, under such circumstances, perhaps even half of the normal state, can not be displayed!" Federer sighed softly.

In the semi-finals a day earlier, Federer met Murray, and he encountered exactly this situation today. The oppressive feeling at Wimbledon Stadium and the hostility of the British fans made Federer extremely uncomfortable. At that time, Federer did not play his normal state at all, and then lost to Murray.

In terms of tennis skills, even if Murray is not as good as Federer, he is still almost the same. The two can be said to be players of the same level. In terms of physical fitness, the 25-year-old Murray is undoubtedly at the peak, and the 31-year-old Federer is not too old, and the two are about the same.

However, the difference in the state of the game caused Federer to lose to Murray.

Federer's game status is actually not bad. The world ranking announced a week before the Olympics was that Federer beat Djokovic to rank first in the world. He also became the No. 1 seed in the Olympic men's singles tennis. Just imagine the state of the world's number one, how could it be poor.

But when it came to the London Olympics, Federer still couldn't maintain his state in the devil's home court of the British. But Murray, under the expectation and blessing of the audience all over the UK, became more and more courageous in the battle, and his condition was incomparably better.

After all, this is England, the birthplace of tennis; this is Wimbledon, the holy land of tennis; and this is Murray's home court. Any tennis player who meets Murray here will feel the devil's away game feeling. The atmosphere, when they challenged Murray, they were challenging the will of all British fans!

...

Zhang Guan is to challenge the will of all British fans!

Zhang Guan knows without feeling that his current state is very bad, because in the system, the state value has already told him with more intuitive numbers.

Not long ago, Zhang Guan just used a bottle of status potion, but now, under this bad away atmosphere, his status has dropped again.

Zhang Guan finally understood why Federer lost so badly when he met Murray in the semifinals. Playing in this environment, no matter who faces Murray, he is afraid that he will be hanged.

"No wonder Murray was a bug in the London Olympics! This is no longer a home game, but the British are showing their tennis background, the heritage of an old empire!"

Zhang Guanchang sighed, used another bottle of status potion for himself, and then quickly started to serve when he was in good condition.

"ACE!"

No matter the strength, speed or angle of this ball, there was no way to jump up. Murray on the opposite side didn't react at all, and Zhang Guan got this point.

Murray seemed a little surprised. Just now, he felt that Zhang Guan's state was constantly declining, but this ball didn't seem like a person in poor state could make it.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence!" Murray shook the racket tightly, and then prepared to meet the next ball.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew again, the speed, angle, and strength were still so perfect. Murray rushed to swing his racket and barely hit the ball, but it was difficult to resist Zhang Guan's next serve to the net.

"Good shot!" Murray wiped the sweat off his head. Although he was the opponent, Murray had to admit that Zhang Guan's serve was beautiful.

"Zhang Guan has adjusted his state again? It's amazing, he deserves to be the owner of the Golden Slam!" Murray sighed inwardly.

...

At the same time as the tennis men's singles final was going on, the Greenwich Center on the Greenwich Peninsula was having a gymnastics competition.

In the gymnastics arena, there are three games in total today, namely the men's rings final, the women's uneven bars final and the men's vault final. And the first to start is the men's rings final.

Although the match was in the final, it did not attract much attention from the audience. After all, there was also the tennis men's singles final. The battle between Zhang Guan and Murray was more attractive than gymnastics. Therefore, the mainstream media in Europe and the United States focused their attention on the tennis finals.

Italy, Russia, Bulgaria and other countries broadcast the finals of the gymnastics rings live, because some players from these countries were shortlisted for the finals, such as Italy's Meranti, Russia's Balandin, and Bulgaria's Yovchev. Is a European star. However, in comparison, the influence of the media in these European countries is far inferior to that of the British, French, German, and Spanish news media.

At this time, in the UK, almost no one watched the finals of the gymnastics rings, and in Europe, there were not many audiences watching gymnastics.

Charlie, the editor-in-chief of "Observer", is one of the few viewers. This is not because he likes gymnastics so much, but because "Observer" has just published news about the ring final in today's content. Although Charlie also felt that the revelation was nonsense, driven by curiosity, he still watched the Italian TV broadcast through the Internet.

In the rings final, the first player to appear was the last Olympic champion, Chen Dabing, a Chinese player known as the "King of Rings".

The difficulty of Chen Dabing's technical movements reached 6.8 points, which can be said to be the highest difficulty score in the rings event.

And Chen Dabing's movements are indeed perfect, without any flaws.

"Awesome! Perfect moves! This should get the highest score!" Although Charlie didn't pay much attention to gymnastics competitions, he could tell that Chen Dabing's set of moves was done very well.

On the TV, Chen Dabing's final score appeared, with a difficulty score of 6.800 points, a completion score of 9.000 points, and a cumulative score of 15.800 points!

"15.800 points." Charlie suddenly felt that this number was very familiar. He seemed to have mentioned it yesterday. He hurriedly found yesterday's revelation from the filing cabinet and saw the same number.

"Could this revelation be true? It's impossible! Coincidence! It must be a coincidence!" Charlie's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He knew that if the result of the ring match confirmed this revelation, it would have a terrible impact. !

At this time, Charlie suddenly felt a little scared. He felt that he might have stabbed a hornet's nest, and maybe the "Observer" shouldn't have published the third article at all.

...

Wimbledon tennis courts.

Murray looked at the score with some disappointment. First, in the fourth set, in the just-concluded third set, he persisted until the tie-break, but still lost to Zhang Guan.

7-6/6-7/6-7, these are the scores of the first three sets. Murray temporarily lags behind Zhang Guan with a score of 1-2 in the total score, and all three sets have reached tie-breaks.

For Murray, these three sets were extremely difficult. Playing three consecutive tie-breaks made Murray consume a lot of energy. At this moment, Murray even felt a little tired.

The intensity of the game was too great, and as the final of the Olympic Games, Murray was playing at home. When he accepted the blessings of the home fans, he was also under too much pressure. This pressure made Murray consume more than usual. Much stamina.

If the game has been relatively smooth, physical exertion is not a problem. For example, in the match against Federer, Murray won the victory like cutting melons and vegetables, and he didn't feel tired at all.

But now, Murray really feels a little tired.

In the tiebreaker of three sets, he was facing an opponent like Zhang Guan. For Murray, the intensity of this kind of match was comparable to five sets in a normal match. A Grand Slam match is a best-of-five-set match, and in a general Masters tournament, only the final is a best-of-five set match, so Murray is already a bit overwhelmed.

After losing the third set, the original excitement in Murray's heart also gradually subsided. When fatigue spread all over his body, all he had left was persistence.

Murray looked at Zhang Guan on the opposite side, and thought to himself: "I am playing at home, and even if I look like this, Zhang Guan on the opposite side should not be much better than me!"

Murray swung the ball to serve, and the tennis ball fell into the front half, but Zhang Guan's running speed remained unabated.

"Drink!" Zhang Guan yelled, and returned the ball across the net, while Murray raised his hand and hit a diagonal.

Like an agile cheetah, Zhang Guan rushed to the diagonal and returned the ball with a one-handed backhand.

"Good opportunity!" Murray stepped forward and hung another diagonal.

Zhang Guan's speed was still the same, he rushed to the other side of the court, waved his forehand, and returned the ball vigorously.

"Anti-hanging diagonally!" Murray also guessed Zhang Guan's thoughts, but Zhang Guan's ball was too fast. Added rotation.

However, while returning the ball, Murray saw that Zhang Guan had already started to intercept the ball.

"Why is Zhang Guan moving so fast? Isn't he tired!"

...

North Greenwich Stadium.

The second Argentine player Maureen Lally performed very poorly. Not only was he shaking when he was doing moves, but his center of gravity was unstable when he landed, and he fell to the ground. He only scored 14.733 points.

The famous Russian player Balandin was the third to play, but he also made a mistake. He had an obvious shaking in a handstand, which must have deducted the completion point, so Balandin's final score was 15.666 points.

The fourth one is Italian veteran player Moranti. His difficulty score is the same as Chen Dabing's, both are 6.8 points. In this set of moves, the quality of Moranti's completion is not bad. Although it is not perfect, it is not obvious. However, he was unable to stand firmly when he landed, and he stabilized his figure after a jump. This must be deducted, so Meranti's final score was 15.733 points.

Bulgaria's Jovchev, who played fifth, almost knelt on the ground when he landed, scoring only 15.108 points.

In the editor-in-chief's room of "Observator", Charlie crossed his legs, and at this moment his heart has been relieved.

"The results of these players are not the same as those revealed. Although there are mistakes in it, points will definitely be deducted, but it is only a coincidence of Chen Dabing's results, which can be explained by coincidence!" Charlie said to himself Said.

After the Puerto Rican player and another Russian player appeared one after another, the Brazilian star Zanetti, as the finale player, grabbed the ring.

Zanetti's movement difficulty is also 6.8 points, which is the same as Chen Dabing and Italian star Morandi. The movements he completed are excellent, and several of them can even be called textbook movements. It's just that the last move didn't stand firm immediately, and he took a small step back. In gymnastics, Zanetti's small step is not a mistake, at most it is a small flaw, but it will definitely affect Referee's rating.

"Although there are no major mistakes in the movements, the last small step should affect his results. Zanetti's difficulty is the same as Chen Dabing's, but the whole set of movements is not as perfect as Chen Dabing's. Zanetti The score is definitely not as good as Chen Dabing, it looks like Chen Dabing will successfully defend the title!"

Charlie was thinking about it, and Zanetti's final score was shown on the TV screen.

The difficulty score is 6.800 points, the completion score is 9.100 points, Zanetti's final score is 15.900 points, 0.1 points more than Chen Dabing!

"Zanetti's score surpassed that of Chen Dabing!" Charlie was taken aback for a moment, but then he stared at the score of 15.900.

"I read that right, 15.900 points! It's really 15.900 points! What's the news? As long as there are no mistakes, the contestants will get their default scores! Chen Dabing's default score is 15.800 points, and he made no mistakes. He also really scored 15.800 points; and Zanetti's default score was 15.900 points, he did not make any mistakes, and he really scored 15.900 points, which is exactly the same as the rumors!"

"More importantly, the difficulty scores of the two are the same. The quality of Zanetti's movements is obviously not as good as that of Chen Dabing. He has a small flaw when he lands! However, Zanetti's score is higher! This is unreasonable! In the case of the same level of difficulty, the person who completed the movement flawlessly scored higher than the person who completed the whole set of movements perfectly. Could it be that there is really a default score! Could it be that the London Olympic Organizing Committee is really manipulating the results of the competition?"

Thinking of this, Charlie has already realized that the final of the ring event may detonate a blockbuster for the London Olympics!
