Chapter 2484 The Strategy of Sorrowing Soldiers

As soon as Chen Kangjie's results came out, many people were surprised and worried.

Is LONG no longer possible? Is LONG regressing so severely? Or is there something wrong?

If it was just one, it could be understood as a mistake in a certain period of time. However, Chen Kangjie jumped twice, the best thing was 17.55 meters, and even he even made a foul for the third time, but his results did not count.

In the eyes of countless people, Chen Kangjie is an invincible great king, but he lost to Christian Olson in a qualifying match.

For a moment, many people who care about Chen Kangjie were raised, and this was very three levels.

The first level is of course Chen Kangjie's coach Tang Wei. Chen Kangjie's performance has never been so bad. If this is still the case in the final, he will basically miss the gold medal, which is something that Tang Wei cannot accept and bear.

Tang Wei really couldn't understand. He obviously had good training in the previous session. Even when he was in Patras, Chen Kangjie improved by 0.1 meters compared to China. Why did he change so much on the court? He really didn't understand the heart that he tightly clung to.

"Mr. Jie, why...how could you only jumped 17.55 meters? This score can be concluded that you missed the gold medal, and you actually lost to that Christian Olsen. Did he tamper with you when he met you just now?" Tang Wei grabbed Chen Kangjie and asked immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Jie, your grade is much worse than your training grade. I don't believe that this will be your normal performance. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Niu Qihua also said worriedly.

Niu Qihua has to worry. If Chen Kangjie has something happened and his performance has declined sharply, it may not be just the triple jump event, but perhaps including sprint and 1500 meters. Chen Kangjie will also be disappointed. In other words, if the triple jump cannot win the gold medal, will he definitely get the 100 meters and 1500 meters? If so, it means that Niu Qihua and Lin Zhidong are finished. It would be strange if he is not worried.

"Everyone said that if I participate in the game, he can't win. So what's so strange about letting others win once, don't make a fuss." Chen Kangjie had a faint smile on his face, and he was not disappointed or discouraged because he lost the qualifying match.

"Mr. Jie, did you lose on purpose?" Chen Kangjie's smile made Tang Wei feel half assured.

"It can't be said to be intentional, but that shouldn't be my normal level or best level. On the one hand, I subjectively want Christian to win once. Objectively, I want to save physical fitness, so I didn't work hard. This is just a qualifying match, and it can't explain anything." Chen Kangjie said confidently.

Chen Kangjie is confident here, but Christian Olsen's team has also boosted its morale and increased its confidence.

In their eyes, Chen Kangjie is the only opponent and target. As long as they win Chen Kangjie, they will get 70 to 80% of their gold medals.

At the beginning, some people thought that this was one of Chen Kangjie's delaying strategies, but they had also studied Chen Kangjie's past games. He had never used such a strategy. Instead, it was a way to use explosive power at the first time and lay the foundation for victory.

But this time, Chen Kangjie jumped three times, made a mistake, and his score declined sharply. Based on past experience, they had reason to believe that Chen Kangjie was really different from the past. Moreover, Chen Kangjie also told Christian Olson that he lacked training. This time, Chen Kangjie's participation in the competition has been reduced to a certain extent compared to the Sydney Olympics, which also verified Chen Kangjie's "no" trend.

If you win, you will be happy if you win, especially if you win a superstar like Chen Kangjie. As long as you win this game, Christian Olsen will definitely become the focus of the world and the object of discussion.

"I think it's too early for us to be happy... I don't think it's true. I'm in contact with him today. If he is in such a low state, his mentality will not be so good..." Christian said in a daze when facing his coach and assistant.

"He did that, maybe to numb you, it's different. No matter what, if you beat him today, it would be a good thing. We must prepare carefully. As long as you defeat him in the final two days later, you will make history. Your best result is over 18 meters. Olson, don't let us all down." Christian Olson's coach patted his shoulder and said happily.

The second type of people who are worried about Chen Kangjie are of course his compatriots, and of course those Chinese who have high expectations for him.

In the minds of Chinese people, Chen Kangjie on the field has been deified, and the gold medals he participated in in the three competitions had been taken into the bag in advance by Chinese people.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If Chen Kangjie missed the front line in this Olympics, more than one billion Chinese and compatriots would definitely be difficult to accept and be sad.

As for the third category, of course, they are fans of other countries and those who like Chen Kangjie. Chen Kangjie on the field may be competitors with their own athletes and only stand opposite each other, but in terms of relationships, they do not necessarily want Chen Kangjie to lose, and they will lose a crushing defeat.

People's feelings are sometimes very complicated and sometimes contradictory. In the eyes of these people, if the athletes in their own country lose, they will not be happy, but if Chen Kangjie loses, they may feel uncomfortable.

On August 21, Chen Kangjie will participate in two more games. He will participate in the first round of the men's 1500 meters first, and then the first round of the men's 100 meters later.

After Chen Kangjie lost the man's triple jump the day before, the audience's attention to him not only did not decrease, but instead became even higher.

Everyone hopes that Chen Kangjie's performance the day before was only temporary. No matter what, he passed the mark and entered the finals. If he only played temporarily, he would have a chance to win back in the finals.

A sign that measures whether Chen Kangjie is temporarily imbalanced or his ability has really declined sharply is his performance and status on August 21.

If he can achieve a good result in both first rounds of the day, then it can be inferred that he just did not perform well the day before. If his two games on this day were not as good as before, it might really mean that Chen Kangjie is no longer the previous one. People should start to be mentally prepared to accept Chen Kangjie who was on the Olympics but could not win the gold medal.

There is a saying that the more we fear something, the more we encounter something, and there is also the saying that disaster will never happen.

In the first round of the man's 1500 meters, Chen Kangjie was arranged in the third lane of the first group.

On Chen Kangjie's right hand, the fourth one is Lagat from Kenya.

We know that African athletes have very strong explosiveness and endurance. In the most typical sprinting and marathon events, black athletes are often victorious generals.

In Chen Kangjie's group, in addition to Lagart, there are several black athletes, such as Ethiopia and the United States. Except for Chen Kangjie who has a yellow face, there is only one white man from Denmark.

However, in the list of competitors designated by Lin Zhidong and others, the only one in this group is Lagarte.

Why do you say that? Because Chen Kangjie's score in Sydney was 3, 34 seconds 01, and he won the gold medal with this result. However, Lagart was almost able to reach this result. He once created a good result of 3 minutes, 34 seconds 12 in a competition, which was only 0.11 seconds slower than Chen Kangjie's last time he won the gold medal.

The time it takes for humans to blink their eyes to exceed 0.11 seconds, which shows how close the two of them are.

Before the game, Chen Kangjie had no interaction with Lagart. Lagart just looked at Chen Kangjie a few more times while preparing.

In fact, this is nothing special. Everyone who participates in the competition or every person in the stadium will pay attention to Chen Kangjie, as is the case with other athletes outside of Lagart, and even half of the eyes are focused on Chen Kangjie.

The starting gun fired, and amid the call of tens of thousands of people, the first round of the 1500-meter race officially started.

Chen Kangjie started out properly, and after running, he was the same. He did not strive to get ahead, but played a role of following.

If you didn't see Chen Kangjie as the first place, the audience would of course worry about him and cheer him up. The cheers for him were overwhelming.

But no matter how the audience shouted, Chen Kangjie was so slow, as if he had reached the limit. In the end, in the first round of the man in 1500 meters, Chen Kangjie crossed the finish line with a time of 3 minutes and 35 seconds. This time was second in the group. The first place was Lagart's 34 seconds and 40 seconds. Chen Kangjie was 0.2 seconds slower than him, and 0.17 seconds faster than the third place 3, 35 seconds and 17 seconds faster.

Even if it was just the first round, Chen Kangjie's score was still unacceptable to many people. The key is not the number of his running score, but the key is that he lost to Lagarte.

However, Chen Kangjie's coaching staff is not worried. Since Chen Kangjie lost to Christian Olson yesterday, the coaching staff has formed a strategy, that is, as long as it is not for the finals to compete for the gold medal, Chen Kangjie will never be the first, unless the third place bites it to death.

This has two purposes. One is to really paralyze the opponent and make everyone feel that Chen Kangjie is not as big as before and is even vulnerable, which will make them underestimate the enemy and be complacent.

Another purpose is to give the audience a roller coaster excitement. Those who think that Chen Kangjie will no longer win will be satisfied with excitement at the moment when Chen Kangjie wins.

This is equivalent to Chen Kangjie making a joke with everyone. Of course, this joke must be grasped well, otherwise it may cause Waterloo if you are not careful. Especially when the outcome is only 0.1 second or 0.01 seconds.
