Chapter 58 Do you want applause from the sky or peace of mind?

In the long jump event, each player will be given a guaranteed three trial jump opportunities. After three trial jumps, the top players with personal best scores will enter the final round according to the competition rules.

Unlike world competitions such as the Olympic Games and World Championships, there are only three seats in the final round of the Diamond League. The three players who enter the final round will get three more trial jump opportunities.

After the three trial jumps are completed, the best result of the six rounds of trial jumps will be taken as the final score (the result with wind speed <7.2m/s is regarded as the valid score), and then the champion, runner-up and third runner-up will be ranked.

Wei En entered the finals together with Australia's LaPierre and America's Phillips. Their current best results are 8.24 meters and 8.18 meters respectively, both of which are better than Wei En's 8.16 meters.

Wei En is very covetous of the extra rewards given by the system. He is proficient in English, French and Russian, or has basic skills. If he successfully obtains this reward, then he will not have to be as embarrassed when he communicated with Bolt two hours ago when competing abroad.

Not only was it easier to communicate, but it was also easier to flirt with girls. Wei En still remembers that his grandmother, who had not passed away when he was a child, pointed at the blond and blue-eyed girl on TV and said: "Xiao Wei, you must make a career in the future. When you grow up, marry your grandma a big girl."

Come back!"

8.24 meters...it's not impossible to challenge.

When it came to the final round, the order of the three people's jumps was Phillips, Wayne, and LaPierre.

Phillips was the first to stand on the running track. His current best result is only 2 centimeters further than Wei En's 8.16 meters. This is a very dangerous gap. He may overtake himself in one jump.

What's more, so far, he is ranked first in the world in the IAAF. What he wants is not just second place, he wants to get the 4 diamond points that belong to the championship!

Phillips thought about it for a while, and found out that his 8.18 meters jumped out with a headwind of 1.3 meters per second, while LaPierre's 8.24 meters jumped out with a tailwind of 0.6 meters per second. In fact, these two jumps were

The difference between the two results is not big. If I can perform perfectly, I can jump 8.24 meters in one fell swoop...

Yang Jian: "Phillips, start running! His movement range is not large, but he is very powerful. Pedal, take off!"

"Oh——! This jump may exceed 8.3 meters!"

Wayne's heart was high. Although he couldn't see clearly how far Phillips had jumped from his perspective, judging from his approach and take-off transition, his condition for this jump was undoubtedly very good.

of.

And the most important thing is that the referee next to the take-off board did not raise the red flag to indicate a foul.

The surveyors were preparing to enter the bunker with measuring equipment, but the referee signaled them not to enter for the time being. At this time, the large screen hanging high in the stadium immediately replayed the previous scene of Phillips' takeoff.

"Foul! Phillips fouled! It was 2 centimeters beyond the starting line, but it was these 2 centimeters that gave Wayne a chance to breathe!"

"Huh..." Seeing the referee raise the red flag, Wei En's heart suddenly dropped.

But Phillips' performance told him that the American star, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, could jump over the 8.30-meter mark at any time, so he couldn't help but relax a little bit!

Among all the opponents today, Dwight Phillips is the athlete most similar to him now, because in addition to being a famous long jumper, Phillips also has a very good performance in the 100 meters.

At last year's Athens Invitational in Georgia, Phillips relied on a strong tailwind of 2.0m/s to refresh his 100-meter PB to 10.06 seconds.

Excluding the bonus of wind speed, Dwight Phillips' 100-meter hard strength is about 10.30 seconds. This strength is among the first-class or even top 100-meter athletes in China.

LaPierre is different. He has never participated in a 100-meter race since 2006. His 100-meter PB is still 10.56 seconds. Compared to Phillips, his skills seem to be stronger.

Wei En stood at the starting point, and after the referee signaled, he once again led the audience in the stadium to applaud and cheer for him.

Applause soared into the sky, and the tens of thousands of spectators who came to the scene used their actions to cheer for the Chinese track and field supernova off the field.

The rhythm of the applause became faster and faster. After adjusting his condition, Wei En suddenly started to run.

Yang Jian: "Here you go, Wei En! The first trial jump in the final round, see if you can break through yourself?"

"Pedal, get up... Oops, this is an obvious line-crossing foul. The referee raised the red flag without watching the video replay. Wei En made a bad start. And even if there was no foul, just looking at this

In terms of jumping technical movements, it is difficult for Wei En to get an excellent result."

"After all, Wei En only made his debut this year. Please think about it, viewers, the second game for a 17 or 18-year-old young man to officially become a professional athlete is the Diamond League, an international event second only to the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

Facing world-famous players like LaPierre and Phillips, you can imagine how much pressure he will be under."

"However, to be able to enter the final round of such a high-level event, Wei En's performance is already very good. I hope that he can perform stably in the next two jumps. Even if he cannot achieve better results, it can be regarded as accumulating experience.

....”

Another mistake made Wayne feel a little bad, and also made him start to examine and reflect on his inner self.

All the details of the movements are quickly replayed through the system in the mind, looking for one's own mistakes.

His first jump today was undoubtedly very good, with pedal accuracy of -4CM, while his second and fourth jumps that missed were 5CM and 7CM respectively.

His score on the third jump was 8.02 meters, and the pedal accuracy was -14cm. In other words, there was a 21cm difference in pedal accuracy between the third and fourth jumps.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This gap is quite big, so after thinking about it, Wei En took out a small measuring tape to measure, and then moved his last six steps back by 15 centimeters.

, moved his starting point back 25 cm.

After doing all this, LaPierre began his fourth jump...

"Oh... 8 meters 30, LaPierre is getting braver with each passing day. When Phillips and Wayne made mistakes one after another, LaPierre was not affected at all and improved his results from

8.24 meters increased to 8.30 meters.”

"Now, there may be no suspense about who will win the men's long jump championship at the Diamond League Magic City Station..."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he was silent for a while. He didn't know whether LaPierre's jump would have a negative impact on Phillips, but compared to Wei En, he was under a lot of psychological pressure at this time.

A fledgling young man directly broke the 12-year-old national 100-meter record. Although this time he participated in the long jump event, which is less popular than the 100-meter event, there is actually no less attention on him in the country.

Third place in the Diamond League. Although this result may not satisfy everyone, it is actually a good result.

The most fearful thing is that Wayne himself was unable to withstand the pressure put on him by LaPierre and Phillips during the game. Before the audience put pressure on him, he himself developed psychological problems.

After some adjustments, the fifth round of test jumps began. At this time, the three contestants who entered the final circle only had two chances to test jumps.

It was still Phillips who went first. This time he did not commit a pedal foul, but his final result was not particularly ideal. Perhaps it was due to an insufficient run-up, perhaps due to a low speed conversion rate when pedaling, or perhaps due to his technical moves in the air.

It was not in place, and in the end, it was still unable to break through 8.2 meters, and only jumped 8.15 meters.

This is good news for Wen. Phillips's condition is not that good. If he can surpass him in his fifth trial jump, perhaps under the double pressure of him and LaPierre, Phillips' last jump

The jump is still not ideal.

For players entering the final round, every jump will be the key to victory. Sometimes the victory or defeat has been decided in the first round, or maybe the final winner cannot be determined until the last jump.

The fifth jump is crucial for Wei En!

"Wayne stood on the running track again. His current best score is 8.16 meters. Phillips, who is second, is 8.18 meters. LaPierre, who is first, is 8.30 meters."

"8.16 meters is very close to Wei En's personal best of 8.20 meters, but currently it seems that it is still very difficult to win the championship in a high-level international event like the Diamond League."

Wei En stood on the approach track and took deep breaths. He didn't know if adjusting the starting point and the last six steps would help him break the current deadlock.

Maybe this adjustment would be counterproductive, but he would rather make a mistake than do nothing!

Bursts of applause suddenly erupted in the stadium. The tens of thousands of spectators seemed to have become accustomed to clapping and playing rhythm with Wei En before he started running, so they spontaneously organized themselves at this time.

Wei En frowned. He longed for a quiet environment now. The louder and neater the audience's applause was, the harder his heart beat. If he couldn't deal with the overly excited state of his body, I'm afraid this beat would still be worse.

People wish.

"Shh!"

Wayne made a booing motion towards the camera, and most of the audience immediately stopped applauding, but there was still a small group that didn't understand what Wayne meant, or started making noises loudly after they stopped applauding.

At this time, the host on the scene spoke: "Okay, athlete Wei En may need a quiet environment to perform this trial jump. Please keep quiet and create a comfortable competition environment for our athletes."

Under the friendly reminder of the host, the Magic City Stadium finally ushered in a short period of silence. Except for the occasional sound coming from the women's 5000m event in the javelin field and track and field, Wei En could finally no longer tolerate the noise.

Intruded.

Taking another deep breath, Wei En's eyes were extremely firm this time, and his heart gradually became calmer with constant adjustments.

Yang Jian: "Do you want to face the applause from the sky, or do you want to return to inner peace?"

"Some athletes are still able to perform at a super level despite the powerful cheers of countless spectators, such as Usain Bolt. The more cheers and applause from the audience, the more excited he is and the better he can perform.

Wei En chose the latter, and now he needs to return to inner peace and adjust his state to a higher level."

"Think about all the technical details. I hope Wei En can perfect the details and give a wonderful jump!"

"The speed of the approach is very important. This is also Wei En's advantage. You must maximize your speed within the limited approach distance!"

"Wayne started to run up, very good rhythm, got on the board - take off!"

"Oh——! This jump is good. Wei En's jump is very good. After experiencing the second pedal error, he suddenly opened up a new situation on his fifth jump!"

Got it!

The moment he took off from the pedal, Wei En knew he had made the jump!

After getting up from the sand pit, he quickly glanced at the position where he landed, and Wei En knew that he had reached a breakthrough!

Wei En raised his arms and shouted, trotting all the way to interact with the audience in the stands, and at this time, overwhelming cheers and applause quickly came to his face.

"Ding——, congratulations to the host for completing a breakthrough during the competition and breaking through the long jump technique [Stand Up - Descent] to [Stand Up - Mastery]!"

[Stand Up - Mastery]! This is Wei En's first breakthrough to the "Mastery" level among the special technical movements of sprinting and long jump. Reaching the "Mastery" level of special skills shows that Wei En's strength has reached the world level.

First-class level, and further improvement is the "master" level.

"8.34 meters! Oh my God, Wei En achieved a huge breakthrough with this jump. He directly raised his personal best from 8.20 meters to 8.34 meters! Look at the wind speed. The tailwind is 1.4 meters per second. The result is

efficient!"

"The emergence of this result means that Wen instantly surpassed Phillips and LaPierre, temporarily ranking first. If Phillips's last jump and LaPierre's last two jumps failed to surpass this

If the result is good, then Wei En will become the champion of the men's long jump event at the Diamond League Magic City Station!"

"At the same time, Wei En will also become the first athlete in the history of Chinese track and field to win the Diamond League championship!"

"Wait a minute, dear viewers, now there is news from the Athletics Association. The jump that Wei En just made not only refreshed the national youth long jump record held by himself, but also tied the American athlete Randy Williams in
