Chapter 980 The Game Is in Progress
The finals came on the third day of the game.
The first final is archery. Although archery has been almost eliminated on the battlefield, it is something that has been shining on the battlefield for thousands of years.
The feelings for bow and arrow, as well as the nostalgia for tradition and other factors make archery also become a project in the National Games.
There are five finalists, Zhao Truh from Outer Mongolia. His original name was Batru, but due to the influence of Sinicization, he also changed his surname to Zhao.
The other is Guan Yuntong from Northeast Province, a Manchu who also changed his Chinese surname.
The on-site commentary only introduced the place he represented, but did not introduce his ethnicity, so most of the audience did not know that Guan Yuntong was a Manchu.
Today's Dahua, officials are deliberately downplaying ethnic differences.
The other three are from Nanjing, Wuhan, and Guangdong.
In the final, Zhao Telu also won the gold medal with a score of 48 rings with five arrows. The Nanjing team won the silver medal, and the Northeast team won the bronze medal.
"Cut, it's just archery, we people in the capital don't take it too seriously."
Seeing that the Nanjing team did not win the gold medal, a Beijing audience disdainfully commented.
"If you can't get it, you can't get it. What kind of garlic is it?"
A foreign audience scorned.
With the completion of the knockout rounds of other events, most of the next competitions will be finals, and the ownership of the gold medal will continue to be determined.
The Nanjing team has a strong sports background. After several events, the number of gold medals and medals ranked first, the second is the Shanghai team, and the third is the Guangdong team.
Like Outer Mongolia, they are a little competitive in archery and horse racing, which they are best at, and won a gold medal and a bronze medal. In other events, very few can enter the finals.
As for Nanjing, Shanghai and Guangdong, these teams are competitive in every event.
In terms of ball games, it is basically ruled by these three places.
In the sprint, Xu Chao won the gold medal.
In this regard, Liu Bin, the team leader of the Australian Province, is a little regretful.
He found a black man in Australia who could run very well. If that black man was brought to the competition, the gold medal would definitely not run.
However, his proposal was rejected by the leadership of the Australian province.
What are you kidding about letting a black man compete?
Although the government did not expressly prohibit it, the subconscious of the Australian leaders felt that it was inappropriate.
Therefore, at the National Games this time, there were no black people, basically all people of yellow race, and only a few people of white race.
It is not easy for Dahua people to agree with people of other skin colors. Even if they are of the same skin color, people from the Central Plains have a sense of legitimacy and superiority when they look at people in Fusang and Annan.
Athletes from the four provinces of Fusang worked very hard in this sports meeting, trying to prove that they are not bad in this way.
The result was rather sad. Only in the sprint, Kyoto Province won a bronze medal.
On other projects, it was appalling.
On the fifth day, Wushu started the final.
This is a project that has attracted much attention. After all, the concept of martial arts is deeply rooted in the hearts of Dahua people.
Dahua's martial arts programs are very different from those of later generations. The biggest difference is that current martial arts can use weapons, but they are all unopened swords.
This is actually quite dangerous, a wooden stick can kill a person, let alone a pile of steel.
However, in line with the principle of pointing to the end, there was no bloodshed in the martial arts competition.
He Cheng from Sichuan Province completely suppressed the opponent from Nanjing on the scene, making the opponent dangerous, so the referee stopped the game and declared He Cheng the winner.
This winning standard is very vague, and basically it is the referee's final say.
The audience in Nanjing was naturally dissatisfied, saying that their own players were only showing weakness and waiting for the chance of a fatal blow.
However, dissatisfaction belongs to dissatisfaction, but the referee did not change the sentence.
Anyway, they didn't expect the first National Games to be a great success, it was purely for accumulating experience.
With experience, you can make more reasonable rules next time.
Athletics quickly won gold medals, followed by several major ball games.
Compared with the gold medals in track and field, the audience cares most about ball sports.
After all, in terms of viewing, ball games are several blocks ahead of track and field.
Just a few people ran around on the field, completely unable to see any technical content and aesthetic feeling, and even many viewers felt that they could also play.
But ball games are different, it is a technology visible to the naked eye.
Just like basketball, most people know that they can't dunk when they look at the height.
But those professional players can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and make all kinds of dunks that make people dumbfounded.
In the current Dahua basketball, the height of the basket is shorter than that of later generations, which is also for the convenience of players to dunk.
As the birthplace of basketball, Dahua is naturally qualified to specify standard rules.
On the sixth day, the basketball finals.
The Nanjing team and the Guangdong team competed for the gold medal. The average height of the players of the two teams reached an astonishing 1.9 meters.
Compared with the basketball players of later generations, it is of course worse.
But in this day and age, these are giants.
At this time, the average height of Fusang people was even less than 1.5 meters.
Even in the Jiangnan area, the average height is less than 1.6 meters.
Although the nutritional conditions in the Jiangnan area have improved a lot, the main benefit is the growing new generation. Those who have already grown up and are stereotyped cannot grow taller even if they are nourished.
A group of people who were 1.9 meters tall and even 2 meters tall flew into the sky and escaped the ground on the field. The audience could only look at the ocean and sigh. This was a talent gap visible to the naked eye.
"No. 1, No. 1, No. 1."
Just like the audience calling MVP in later generations, the audience is not embarrassed at all when calling the champion, they are just used to it.
On the field, Qiu Jianfei, the star of the Nanjing team, made sudden shots and scored six points in a row, leading the team to a 10-2 spurt and overtaking the score.
Seeing this kind of heroism, the audience couldn't help shouting the slogan of champion.
The Guangdong team then called a timeout and arranged tactics to limit Qiu Jianfei.
After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court, and the Guangdong team double-teamed Qiu Jianfei. The two players surrounded Qiu Jianfei all the time, and it was difficult for Qiu Jianfei to get the ball.
Even when he gets the ball, there's no room for him to dribble and shoot.
In the end, Qiu Jianfei made mistakes one after another, and the Guangdong team took the opportunity to overtake the score.
"Despicable, how can two fight against one, it's kind of a heads-up."
Fans in Nanjing expressed their dissatisfaction.
It's a pity that the rules are like this, and their dissatisfaction has no effect.
On the court, the Nanjing team failed to crack the Guangdong team's tactics in the end, and eventually lost to the Guangdong team. Qiu Jianfei also lay on the floor regretfully, which made his fans feel distressed.
