It is definitely unavoidable for China to pretend to be dead in the coming week, but the reflection before pretending to die still gave Wu Jie some comfort, and his mission was completed ahead of schedule.

Originally, the most regrettable event of this Olympic Games was naturally the high jump competition of world record holder Zhu Jianhua.

In China's early days on the Internet, many voices appeared out of nowhere and actually questioned whether Zhu Jianhua's world record was obtained through domestic fraud.

Their reason is that Zhu Jianhua couldn't get results as soon as he went abroad, so there must be something fishy in the domestic competition!

China! Socialism! What disgusting things can’t it do?

But in fact, this is the most typical way to spread rumors by relying on opaque information. Anyway, it may not be useful to start rumors and refute them.

In fact, Zhu Jianhua's personal highest record was obtained at an international competition in Eberstadt, West Germany, which happened to be two months before the Olympic Games. In that competition, six of the top ten players in the world came to the event.

At this time and in such an event, Zhu Jianhua personally broke the world record created by himself. The gold content is naturally very high, so the Chinese media and Ministry of Sports officials at the time believed that this high jump gold medal was the most stable piece of this Olympics.

.

But it is undeniable that Zhu Jianhua's psychological quality is indeed not top-notch. He has been suffering from insomnia before the Olympic Games, which has led to a decrease in physical strength and poor condition.

The most painful thing is that there was an unexpected situation in the competition - when Zhu Jianhua was about to test a key height, British middle-distance runner Sebastian Coe fell on his approach line during the competition.

The referee stopped the jump attempt at that time, and this accident completely disrupted his rhythm.

But this dimension is different. Zhu Jianhua's attention is not even a little bit lower than that of international superstars such as Wu Jie and Lu Da. Especially after the birth of Olympic star players such as Shen Lang, Li Ning, and Wu Xiaoxuan, Zhu Jianhua's attention is even lower.

.

This made the pressure on him much less. In addition, Wu Jie used a platinum-level card for him to adjust his condition before the game. In this high jump competition held on the tenth competition day, Zhu Jianhua challenged the new record at the right time and the right time.

And, the competitive status is all there.

And these were enough for him to set a new record. The 21-year-old Zhu Jianhua was at the peak of his athletic ability and was in his best condition on the day of the competition. So when the competition reached a height of 2.36 meters, he jumped over in one go

.

This height was still an unreachable world record two years ago, but as the creator and holder of the 2.39-meter world record, Zhu Jianhua seemed very relaxed when facing this height, completing a height that most opponents could not reach in one go.

.

Next, only Delmar Mergenberg of West Germany and Patrick Sjoberg of Sweden successfully completed this height on their second and third trial jumps respectively.

At this time, according to the high jump rules, if the competition ended here, Zhu Jianhua would have won the championship because he had the fewest attempts to jump.

So Delmar Mergenborg and Patrick Sjobo were forced to choose the world record height of 2.39 meters. If they can jump over this height and Zhu Jianhua cannot, then the champion will be one of them.

But not all cats and dogs can challenge this height. Both Delmar Mergenborg and Patrick Sjobo failed in three attempts.

At this time, the game is actually over, but Zhu Jianhua still has the opportunity to continue to challenge himself. He can continue the game according to the lifting plan he announced before the game, and can choose to take off at any altitude.

Of course, Zhu Jianhua would not choose a height lower than his own record. He chose a new record of 2.40 meters to challenge.

Wu Jie is very optimistic about Zhu Jianhua's self-challenge, because now the outcome has been decided, Zhu Jianhua's mentality can be more stable, and there is no need for any pressure.

Such a relaxed state is very helpful for sports such as high jump. Although Zhu Jianhua failed in the first two attempts to jump, he struggled hard in the last jump. His entire approach rhythm was excellent, especially the final take-off.

The location is perfect.

I have to mention here that Zhu Jianhua's standing long jump is not outstanding, but his bullet speed is extremely amazing, and his short-distance sprint speed is also monster-level. Coupled with his ultimate high jump skills, it can be said that the biggest factor that determines his performance is the run-up.

The rhythm and the location of the starting point.

This time, Zhu Jianhua brought his running and jumping skills to the extreme, and after his exquisite high-jumping posture was stretched to the limit, he even gained some elegance in the air.

This human limit of 2.40 meters was jumped by his ultimate take-off and elegant posture, and a new high jump record was born! Zhu Jianhua became the first human being in the world to cross the height of 2.40 meters!

After witnessing another miracle created by the Chinese, the 100,000 spectators in the "Los Angeles Memorial Stadium" continued to applaud even though they felt very uncomfortable!

At this time, the introverted Zhu Jianhua rarely burst out with enthusiasm. After landing, he jumped excitedly on the sponge mat. This scene became a highlight of the day's event.

Of course, the competition is not over yet. According to the rules, Zhu Jianhua is still qualified to continue to challenge new heights.

But he himself also knew that the height of 2.40 meters was already the real limit that he had not succeeded in training so far. It would be impossible to set a new record if he went higher, so he gave up trying to reach a higher height.

Wu Jie knew that Zhu Jianhua's limit had not yet been fully reached. This guy was a real five-star monster in the field of high jump.

However, due to the material poverty of this era, he was malnourished when he first started practicing high jump and was severely anemic. In recent years, he has been better after targeted conditioning.

Then considering the various unscientific training methods and the worrisome medical conditions in this era, Zhu Jianhua is really talented for being able to achieve this result.

Wu Jie had signed Zhu Jianhua to his agency before the Olympics and would make long-term investment in him in the next few years.

He is not that old at 21 years old. As long as he is not troubled by injuries in the next few years, trains more scientifically, and receives timely treatment and rehabilitation after injuries, he can still make some progress in the next two years, even if he wants to maintain his peak period.

By the 1988 Olympics, it was actually quite normal.

Under normal circumstances, a high jumper's jumping ability will not decline until the age of 25 if he is trained scientifically and does not suffer major injuries. At that time, Zhu Jianhua was still at his peak.

During this period, it is not impossible to achieve results of 2.41 meters, 2.42 meters, or even higher.

But after the high jump competition, Chinese athletes once again entered a state of invisibility.

Tonight, there are no matches for men's football, men's volleyball, and women's handball, because the major ball games in the knockout stage have become one game every three days.

But there is a semi-final in the "75-81kg" boxing competition. Qin Jian's opponent is Holyfield from Alabama, USA.

Without Qin Jian, Holyfield would be the one with the most obvious personal strength advantage in this Olympics.

Although his path to promotion was not as violent as Qin Jian's, he also easily defeated all his opponents, even though he won with an absolute advantage in points.

Before the game, Holyfield did not think there was anything invincible about Qin Jian, and even openly challenged him in an interview with the American media: "His attack power is brutal, but his tactics, strategies, and techniques are all a mess!"

Yes, he attacks fiercely, but he is also reckless. A pair of powerful fists is not enough in a boxing match, and it is useless no matter how powerful they are but cannot hit the enemy."

After Qin Jian's provocation was relayed by the malicious American media, he responded bluntly: "There are two things that are infinite, my kinetic energy and the stupidity of the other side!"

This sentence made Holyfield have a very bad impression of Qin Jian. Before the game, with the support of thousands of boxing fans in the boxing gym, he quickly became excited and raised a downward pointing finger towards Qin Jian from a distance.

Thumbs up.

This is nothing. After martial arts practitioners get excited, many of them cannot control their emotions.

But then Holyfield yelled "Chinaman, I will let you out today lying down", which immediately exposed his hard-fisted and soft-minded nature.

"Chinaman, I will show you a real fist as strong as steel!"

The two came to the center of the ring before the game and waited for the referee to reiterate the spirit of the game and some main rules while checking the equipment.

Holyfield naturally would not let go of this opportunity to show off his trash talk, and even bumped his fists hard while speaking.

"Fistes are not made with the mouth. This is a sign of strength on the outside but strength on the inside. But you don't need to understand this truth, because when we finish this fight, you won't know anything."

Qin Jian always has an expressionless face before a game, but that doesn't mean he likes to remain silent, but his trash talk is usually meant for the audience in front of the TV.

Holyfield was too lazy to respond to previous provocations mainly because there was no camera pointed at him.

But at this time, a photographer was carrying a machine to record the pre-match exchange between the two at close range. Naturally, he pretended not to know English and once again spoke rubbish in Chinese.

He is not afraid that gringos will not understand, because after these images are preserved, as his status increases in the future, they will definitely be translated and broadcast when TV stations in various countries make documentaries. Then his fans will have another attraction.

Something to talk about with pride.

Holyfield heard what Qin Jian said in a language he didn't understand, and finally realized that the two of them were not on the same server at all, and this kind of pre-match trash talk was basically the same thing.

At this time, he didn’t know that he had failed miserably in trash talking. When this clip was translated out in the future, his situation would be just one word – “shameful”!

Of course, this will only happen if Qin Jian can defeat Holyfield.

If he was the one who was defeated, it would not be Holyfield who was embarrassed.

Qin Jian didn't think he would lose, because he had already fought against Holyfield dozens of times in dream training at this age.

If an opponent like Tyson with abnormal speed, reaction, and punching weight may accidentally overturn even if he has the advantage, then Holyfield is more balanced and better at using his all-round skills to fight the opponent, while not

For a boxing champion who defeats his opponent with KO and wins mainly by points, the chance of him overturning is not great.

Holyfield knew nothing about Qin Jian. He thought he was a reckless man with amazing lethality, but this was just a little capriciousness and a small smoke caused by Qin Jian's excessive advantage in the first two games.

bomb.

This information advantage made Qin Jian invincible long ago. After the first round began, Holyfield adopted an active roaming tactic, using his height, wingspan, and footsteps to use his

The jab and front hand straight punch are constantly testing and stealing points.

Qin Jian smiled in his heart. Faced with Holyfield's control style, he didn't dodge at all. He relied entirely on frontal defense to resist the opponent's jabs and front-hand straight punches, while pressing forward to find opportunities to get closer.

Holyfield did not dare to fight Qin Jian in close combat, but he soon discovered that it was very difficult to use jabs and front-hand straight punches to effectively hit Qin Jian.

Although this guy doesn't dodge, it's difficult to open up his tight defense with just this harassment attack. In this case, no matter how many punches he throws, it's hard to get points.

So Holyfield began to increase his attack with backhand punches, looking for opportunities to use combination punches to cause damage.

But he didn't expect that Qin Jian, who had not dodged when faced with front-hand punches before, suddenly lowered his center of gravity to dodge when faced with back-hand punches and uppercuts, and at the same time, he strode forward to press close to him.

This confident fighting style of relying on dodge skills and footsteps to dodge heavy punches made Holyfield unable to react in time. If his footsteps were slightly messed up, it would be difficult to keep the distance. He could only passively use combination punches to exchange punches with Qin Jian at close range.

The result of this kind of toughness will definitely not be good. Qin Jian not only reacts faster, but his dodge skills are also significantly higher than Holyfield at this age.

The results of the two punches in an instant were very different. Qin Jian hit Holyfield's head and body three times with uppercuts, but Holyfield did not really hit Qin Jian with one punch. The most awesome thing.

His punch only scraped Qin Jian's scalp, and it was all missed!

Holyfield was punched three times in a row. Not only was he hit hard on his waist, but he was also a little dazed after being punched hard on his left and right cheeks. At this time, he subconsciously wanted to use hugging tactics to delay time and get through this most dangerous period.
