Super Lord of the Rings

Wang Jun easily entered the long jump finals and got the best result of the day.

There is no doubt in the country anymore. Wang Jun is so strong, so of course he should compete. If other domestic players go there, it will be difficult to jump even 8 meters, and they will be eliminated in the qualifying competition.

The famous long jumpers also passed the test one after another, and most of them just jumped casually.

The news that day focused on Wang Jun's story, rendering him a national hero who supports Chinese track and field. Things are rare and valuable, otherwise Liu Xiang would not be so famous. Now there is more than just Liu Xiang in Chinese track and field.

What is inversely proportional to Wang Jun's success is the Chinese men's basketball team. Their performance cannot be described as "terrible".

The men's basketball team made its debut on July 29 and played four games, losing to Spain, Russia, Australia, and Brazil.

The Spanish team scored the highest score of 83 points, but still lost by 15 points. In the other three games, the score did not exceed 65, and they were beaten without any ability to fight back.

The men's basketball team was eliminated from the group stage early. The last game against the host country, Great Britain, was equally unlucky. No big surprise, it would end in a total defeat.

Yao Ming once threw a towel angrily at the Olympics, but now his condition has declined and his temper has restrained.

As Wang Jun said, the men's basketball team's defense is so bad that it can't defend any team. How can it win?

Yao Ming and Da Zhi couldn't guard outside pick-and-roll shots. They were too slow and could easily be passed by defenders once they went out. As long as the opponent doesn't go to Yi Jianlian's side, the bottom line will be missed after the pick-and-roll, allowing the opponent to take action easily.

Yao Ming is gone, and Da Zhi is not a qualified center. He is an old player worthy of people's respect, but time is not forgiving, and it is true that he cannot guard against the tough inside line. Zhang Zhaoxu scratches his head when he is anxious. The only effect is to dance before the game.

It can be seen from the first game against Spain that China was attacked on the inside. Once the defense was reduced, the outside became empty. Many of the 3 points scored by Spain were undefended. Looking at the number of fouls, when China had more than 20 fouls, Spain was still in single digits, and they could only rely on fouls to prevent breakthroughs.

At this level, the leaders of the Basketball Association were ashamed when they thought of calling Wang Jun and saying that their goal was to compete for the championship.

On August 5, the long jump finals began.

When the athletes appeared on the stage, the commentator excitedly introduced Wang Jun's situation.

"Wang Jun ranked first in the qualifying round. I hope he can create a miracle today and win a gold medal.

During training, he jumped 8.33 meters. Yesterday was not his limit. The good news is that the top seed is out..."

In the past, even with Wang Jun's best results, it was difficult to win the championship, but this time he may "pick up the slack" and succeed.

After the American star Phillips was absent due to injury, another big name was eliminated.

The Beijing Olympic champion and Panamanian player Saladino failed to score in all three jumps due to fouls and was unexpectedly eliminated. American players Godwin and Brazil's Da Silva tied for second place, with scores of 8.11 meters, which are very average.

Due to the strict drug testing this time, the performance of American athletes has dropped collectively. It makes people suspect that this group of people used to rely on drug abuse, and the overall standard has dropped directly from the Olympics to the Asian Games.

Seeing that other people were so bad, Wang Jun relaxed a lot. It was the first time he participated in this kind of competition, and he didn't have enough confidence.

After introducing the players, the game began.

In the first round, several players who appeared did not perform well.

British player Tomi Rison took the lead and temporarily ranked first with a time of 8.06 meters. Wang Jun, Godwin and Rutherford all failed to achieve results due to fouls.

In the second round, Rutherford, the star of hope of the host country, suddenly showed off his strength and jumped 8.21 meters against a headwind of 0.6 meters/second, rising to the top spot. Clay of the United States ranked second with 8.07 meters.

Wang Jun did not commit a foul this time, but unfortunately he only jumped 8.06 meters.

At this time, the Chinese commentator was a little unsure. "Wang Jun's condition seems not to be very good today. If it were yesterday's results, he would be number one now."

"On July 29, 1996, Chinese long jumper Huang Geng participated in the long jump competition at the Atlanta Olympics and won ninth place in the men's long jump with a score of 7.99 meters. This is the best ranking of Chinese men's long jump in the Olympics so far. . It is not difficult for Wang Jun to break this record, but I believe the audience hopes that he can win the gold medal, not the silver or bronze medal."

After a while, the commentator said excitedly: "It's Wang Jun's turn again. I hope he can get a good result this time!"

All the audience's eyes were focused on Wang Jun, and the audience in front of the TV held their breath.

Other athletes also looked at Wang Jun nervously. After all, he had performed amazingly before. They were worried that he would suddenly break out and get a good result, which would bring great pressure.

The camera showed a close-up of Wang Jun. His expression was very relaxed, with a smile on his lips and his eyes staring ahead.

The camera also gave him the prominent Nike logo on his red outfit, and now Nike loves him. Wang Jun participated in the Olympics, and the limelight eclipsed all NBA players. Those were just playing basketball, but he crossed over.

Wang Jun stood upright, feeling the wind blowing in his face, adjusting his breathing, relaxing his whole body, and then tensing his muscles to get his body into a state of excitement.

He used the breathing techniques of endurance training and jumping training, and measured the distance. This time, he was confident of doing well.

Wang Jun started to take a run-up and accelerated instantly, running faster and faster. It made people feel that he could get good results even if he participated in the 100-meter race.

On the sidelines of the competition, the competitors were heartbroken.

The famous British player Rutherford looked very calm and kept cursing in his heart: "Step on the line! Step on the line!"

Wang Jun did not step on the line, but took a perfect step. He jumped with all his strength, and his movements in the air were extremely stretched. He took two steps in the air and fell into the sand pit.

The American commentators couldn't help but cheer him. "If he had a basketball in his hand, he would definitely be able to dunk from the free throw line this time, and he could also do some moves, maybe a big windmill!"

The Chinese commentator was even more excited and shouted: "This jump is too far. I must be first. It is about 8 meters."

The camera has been given to the referee, and now the Chinese audience is afraid that he will foul.

The referee announced that the result was valid. At 8.30 meters, Wang Jun surpassed his opponent in the third round and ranked first.

Many viewers in front of the TV screamed. Although the Chinese media promoted Wang Jun as a very strong player. After all, he was a basketball player. He came to the Olympics to compete in the long jump. Not many people really believed that he could win the championship. But now he is ranked first.

Clay from the United States only jumped 8.07 meters, the same result as before. Rutherford's jump was only 8.13 meters, which was very ordinary and fell to second place.

Entering the fourth round, Wang Jun jumped 8.11 meters and failed to improve his performance.

British player Rutherford appeared last and broke out again. He jumped 8.31 meters and overtook Wang Jun to regain the top spot.

Now, the pressure is on Wang Jun again. After seeing his opponent's results, he became a little depressed.

Come on, why is it just one centimeter longer than me? Judges, do you have titanium alloy dog ​​eyes? How come you can see it so clearly?

There was only the last round left in the finals. He knew very well that he had not jumped 8.30 meters many times. Jumping twice in one day had never happened.

His physical strength is not a problem. He is still at his peak. What he is afraid of is stepping on the line.

To win, it is not enough for him to perform at his best level. He must surpass himself, calculate his moves well, and overcome his fear!
