Chapter 429: Overtaking Phelps(1/2)
The high jump event began. Yi Dun appeared earlier this time and was the sixth appearance in Group A.
Yi Dun's high jump score was roughly around 193. Although such a score is definitely not good, it is generally ranked among the top three, but the gap with the top players is not particularly large.
Yi Dun's top five players hovered around two meters, which is also the average strength of most top all-rounders.
Finally, it was Yi Dun's turn to appear. Director Xu and others were extremely expecting. They won gold medals in the long jump event, and they almost broke the world record. So this high jump event would not be much worse.
What they never expected was that Yi Dun's first try jump came directly to an incredible height.
2 meters 40!
That's right, Yi Dun directly asked for a height of two centimeters higher than the Olympic champion.
Everyone was shocked. This height was so incredible. Many people thought Yi Dun was crazy.
If it wasn't crazy, how could it be like this level as soon as it came up?
That's 2.40 meters, just one step away from the world record!
...
Everyone's eyes were aimed at Yi Dun. At this moment, at least hundreds of millions of viewers around the world were watching Yi Dun's game.
Yi Dun moved, his expression without any hesitation, as if he had not taken the height of two meters and four at all.
All the players in the same competition held their breath, and the situation is now extremely clear. In this decathlon competition, they are all runners and supporting roles. The only real protagonist is Yi Dun.
Yi Dun is countless times more terrifying than before, making them completely lose their minds to compete with Yi Dun.
...
A very cool and unrestrained back-to-the-Japan style, Yi Dun crossed the crossbar and successfully completed this 2.40-meter-40 trial jump.
Everyone sighed, how could this competition be compared? The height of 2.40 meters was successful, and only then did I know whether Yi Dun would challenge a higher height next.
Yi Dun has already won more than 3,800 points in the first three projects, and now this height of 2.40 meters can also bring Yi Dun a score of nearly 1,200 points. This means that Yi Dun got 5,000 points after only four projects?!
If the last six projects are Yi Dun's shortcomings, then these four projects are worth 5,000 points, which is not unacceptable.
But everyone knows that most of the six events in Yi Dun’s subsequent events are his strengths. Now it seems that ten thousand is definitely not the limit of Yi Dun’s Olympics.
As for what is Yidun’s limit, only God knows it.
Eaton sighed heavily, feeling that his all-time confidence had been completely destroyed by Yi Dun's jump.
His high jump strength is not bad, and he can usually jump above 205 and ranks in the top three of all players, but the 205 score is too big compared to Yi Dun's 240.
According to previous practice, three of the first four projects are Yi Dun's shortcomings, and only one shot put event is a strong point.
As a result, I don’t know what happened to Yi Dun in this Olympics. All three short-term events have extremely terrifying improvements. It’s easy to say that 100 meters. Yi Dun’s improvements are simply too scary in the two events of high jump and long jump.
Eaton doesn't want anything more than gold medals. The only idea in his mind is to get as much silver medal as possible and not compete with Yi Dun. He doesn't have the capital to compete with monsters like Yi Dun.
After thinking about this, Eaton relaxed all over, the pressure in his heart had been dissipating, and he immediately felt much more relaxed.
...
"Damn, are our brother Dun? Are you a human being?"
"2.40 meters? How can other high jumpers survive? Especially those high jumpers in our country, I'm afraid it's time to collapse now."
"I've got another gold medal. Brother Dun won the eleventh gold medal in this Olympics. I feel that Brother Dun can catch up with Phelps soon."
"Yes, all the schedules of Phelps are over now. At his age, it is unlikely that he will participate in the Olympics again in the future. His gold medal count is fixed at 18. Our Dun Ge now has thirteen yuan in the Olympic gold medal count. If you have a few more yuan, you can surpass Phelps immediately."
"I may be able to catch up with Phelps tomorrow. Think about Dunge's 800-meter final tomorrow night, discus, javelin, 1500-meter, and a decathlon gold medal. This is five gold medals. Tomorrow Dunge's total gold medals will be eighteen. If you get one of the subsequent schedules, you can easily surpass Phelps."
The national team generals started to talk about it in surprise.
They also secretly asked themselves a question in their hearts: If God said he would reduce his lifespan of ten years and then get the strength of Yi Dun, would he be willing?
Soon they had a positive answer in their hearts. If you are willing, then you are sure to be willing.
...
The height of 2.40 meters is over at one time, and the other players may be stimulated by this score. Two players actually jumped out of the score of 211 cm.
As an all-rounder, it is already quite impressive to get 211 cm in the high jump event. At least Yi Dun was only jealous of this kind of result before.
The audience knew very well that Yi Dun would not miss the next two trials. The world record was right in front of him, and Yi Dun had to try it anyway.
Without any hesitation, Yi Dun directly asked for a score of 2.46 meters, which happened to be the height of breaking the world record.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at the high jump field. In the previous long jump event, Yi Dun was unfortunately unable to break the world record. I wonder if Yi Dun could make any achievements in this high jump event.
...
The height of 2.46 meters is still quite amazing. Some people who are not very athletic, may not even be able to touch this height even if they jump over it.
Otherwise, people are really incomparable.
When it came to his second try jump, Yi Dun started running.
Unfortunately, I performed poorly this time and the jump was a bit early. I failed to pass the pole this time.
Yi Dun was not discouraged. If the world record was so easy to break, it would not have been blocked for so many years.
I am now bounced at 99 points, so I am naturally very strong, so there is definitely no problem breaking most world records.
But it doesn’t mean that it can be broken casually. Yi Dun still needs to perform well.
Yi Dun's performance was not good in this second trial just now, so he failed to break the record smoothly.
Learning from the lessons of the failure just now, during the third try jump, Yi Dun thrilled over the height of 2.46 meters.
Just when the game landed, thunderous applause broke out on the scene, and even Eton, the contestants in the same competition, gave their own applause.
It is really an unforgettable leap. There is no doubt that the headlines of the newspaper tonight will inevitably be Yi Dun's heroic leap just now.
Yi Dun breathed a sigh of relief and finally broke a world record. According to his plan, he thought that he could break the world records of both long jump and high jump, but he did not expect that he would not succeed in the long jump.
Now it's a good idea. Yi Dun is satisfied with the two events breaking one of the world records, and the other record will be saved for the next Olympics to break.
...
The eleventh gold medal of this Olympics was won, and it successfully broke the world record again. Yi Dun's name resounded all over the world. I'm afraid that all the news media will write about Yi Dun's great achievements tonight.
After the competition, Yi Dun looked at the time, and it was about an hour and a half before his 400-meter event.
Now the group stage between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team has begun. Yi Dun thought about it and simply took advantage of this time to watch the men's basketball team's game.
Now Yi Dun is completely in Cao's camp and is in the heart of Han. Although he is in the decathlon, he is very concerned about the Chinese men's basketball game.
He wanted to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve a historical achievement, but unfortunately, he would definitely not be able to make a debut in this game tonight.
The game has started for 7 minutes, and the first quarter has passed halfway. Yi Dun looked at the score and felt very cold.
Although I had long foreseeed that the Chinese men's basketball team was not a match for the Spanish men's basketball team, I was ten behind just halfway through the quarter, and there seemed to be no sign of catching up, which directly disappointed Yi Dun.
It seems that this game is completely gone. The remaining three games must be won so that the Chinese men's basketball team will have a chance to advance and not meet the US team in the first round.
Yidun suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. The remaining three games were against Australia, Brazil and Britain. It was okay for Britain to be able to play the night after tomorrow. It would definitely not be a big problem to win the British team.
If even Britain can't win, it would be too embarrassing. What should I do to win Australia and Brazil?
...
After watching for a while, Yi Dun couldn't bear to watch it anymore. The situation in the Chinese men's basketball team can be said to be terrible.
After Yao Ming was gone, this Chinese men's basketball team seemed to have lost its backbone, and it seemed like headless flies were ramming around on the court.
Although Yao Ming did not play at the Asian Games before, and the Chinese men's basketball team won the championship with a record of complete victory, it was a game in Asia after all. On this occasion, the problem of the gap in strength of young Chinese men's basketball players was immediately exposed.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there are any powerful young players in this Chinese men's basketball team besides Yi Jianlian?
Obviously there is nothing left. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on just a few veterans and a young Yi Jianlian to get good results on such a stage.
In previous World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team had always had good luck, mainly because they could meet African brothers every time, such as Angola's national team, which often encountered them.
If you win Angora, the rest will work hard to win the next game. If you are lucky, you will be able to qualify. If you qualify, you will at least get eighth place.
But this year was very bad. Angola was gone and turned into Russia. As a result, he lost the first game against Russia, and directly made the situation of qualifying become extremely slim.
If Russia is replaced with Angola this time and Yao Ming is still there, he will win Angola and the British team in the group stage, and then qualify with 2 wins and 3 losses, meet the United States in the quarterfinals, and finally the eighth place.
And if Australia or Brazil teams, China wins one team at will, it will have a good chance to create history.
Unfortunately, this is just an assumption. Yao Ming has officially retired and will definitely not be able to play again. Now he can only need some miracles and luck to make the Chinese men's basketball team have the possibility of arise.
After the game, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 22 points, and the CCTV commentator was naturally not in a high mood. After all, after losing this game, it would be very slim to qualify.
Because of Yao Ming, the number of Chinese basketball fans is so scary that it is very popular. Now facing this crisis, everyone is in pain.
This is just the first year that Yao Ming has just retired. What if Dazhi and the others retire in a few years? Will Yi Jianlian retire in a few years? If there is no successor in Chinese basketball, will there be a tragedy that he can't even get the Olympic qualification?
Worry!
The fans are extremely worried!
However, while they were worried, they also thought of Yi Dun, hoping that Yi Dun, a man who can create miracles, will bring some good luck to the Chinese men's basketball team this time.
Luck is indeed a very important factor in winning basketball games. It seems that qualifying is slim now, but it is not completely without a chance.
If you win the UK, then if you have a lot of luck, you can make any shots on the field and win Australia or Brazil, you will be qualifying.
