In Tianmendong Square, more than 40 domestic and foreign players were ready, waiting for the referee to give the order.
The sky is blue, the mountains are majestic and majestic, and the various national flags in the valley are fluttering in the mountain wind, stirring up waves.
The huge LED screen scanned the figures of each player, and the audience let out excited shouts.
It wasn't until everyone was in place that the voice became quieter.
The referee held the starting gun: "Everyone is in position - ready -"
"boom!"
There was a gunshot, and more than forty figures moved.
The commentator's voice then sounded: "After the previous three games, I believe everyone understands the difficulty of this road."
"It's not just the terrifying 99 turns, but also the complex road conditions and uneven distribution of road friction."
The ideal track for downhill longboarding is on asphalt pavement, which is complete and has strong grip. In contrast, cement roads have many joints, especially the road in Tianmen Mountain. The joints on the cement road are very wide and the road surface is
There are also some small grooves on it, which give downhill riders a noticeable bumpy feel.
But these bumps did not have a big impact on Yu Nian. When the longboard under his feet began to move, he entered his own world.
Absolute control of the center of gravity seems to have become instinctive, allowing him to become one with the panel.
The world seemed to have become a giant painting. He jumped his figure into this giant painting to measure every section of the road and every bend to verify his previous observations about it.
It has a total length of 10.77 kilometers and a total of 99 turns, with an average of one turn every 100 meters.
Without being fully familiar with the road, Yu Nian's speed was not very fast and he could only rank in the middle among all downhill competitors, but this was still far from finishing in the top six of the group and qualifying for the finals.
There were more than ten or twenty figures in front of him. He did not show any anxiety. After driving onto the winding mountain road, he quickly cut into Turn 99.
"Beautiful! Even though it was his first time on Tongtian Road, player No. 15 showed his skillful skills and control of the longboard."
“But this is just the first corner, and soon there will be a dense area of corners, with endless turning corners waiting for him!”
A hairpin bend is also called a hairpin bend, which refers to a U-turn close to 180 degrees.
There are many roundabouts in Tianmen Mountain. The turning radius of such curves is very small. You must slow down when turning. If you are not careful, you will slip and fall off the road.
This is the most thrilling place on the entire track, and it is also the place where downhillers are the slowest. The nearly twenty figures in front of Yu Nian all began to slow down and turn around.
The place with the slowest speed is the easiest to surpass.
Yu Nian came up with this thought that had been decided from the beginning. He was not as familiar with the road conditions as other runners, and his physical shortcomings gave him an advantage only in the first half of the race.
His lack of familiarity with the track caused him to control the speed at a mid-range speed from the beginning. If he slowed down again when cornering, he would completely fall behind.
You must use the limit at the current speed to corner and gain an advantage on the curve.
The voice of the commentator rang quickly as the downhillers were turning the corner: "We can see that the athletes unanimously chose the cornering route of entering the corner from the outside of the curve - inside the curve - exiting from the outside of the curve."
"In such a thrilling turning corner, entering the corner on the outer circle, exiting the corner close to the center, and passing at a lower speed and maximum arc is a safe choice. This is a very correct route!"
Soon the commentator's attention was attracted by Yu Nian, who was following closely behind.
I saw in the camera that his speed did not drop significantly like others, and he still maintained a high speed entering corners.
"No. 15! He actually chose to enter the corner from the inside, and he barely slowed down!" The commentator took a breath, "You can see that despite being unfamiliar with the track, No. 15 has always maintained a smooth speed so far.
It’s a high speed. But this speed can definitely be called high speed when cornering.”
"We know the two types of cornering - decelerating before the corner and drifting directly through the corner. He chose the second type, which is good. It allowed him to surpass the two downhillers!"
I saw Yu Nian cornering on the inside, and he successfully passed the two downhill riders in front of him while drifting.
The wheels rubbed violently against the ground, emitting thick blue smoke.
The electronic speedometer on the road showed Yu Nian's instantaneous speed when cornering: 65km/h.
"Amazing cornering speed! There is no doubt about his skills! This is only the first time he has set foot on this track!"
Yu Nian's body tilted until it was almost parallel to the ground. This sharp 180-degree turn caused the longboard to drift far away, creating an astonishing arc.
The wind was howling in my ears, and everything on both sides of the road was moving backwards rapidly.
The audience's eyes were focused on him, and they screamed one after another.
The commentator looked excited and spoke quickly: "His body almost hit the low wall next to the road, but he controlled it. He was extremely confident in controlling his center of gravity. We can understand No. 15
Why did you choose such a dangerous entry and exit route?"
"None of the more than 40 players in the same group is weak. If he wants to break through among them and enter the top six to qualify for the finals, he must establish his own advantage! With limited speed, overtaking in corners is his only option.
choose!"
This is his only choice.
After Yu Nian successfully passed the turning curve, he then entered the densely packed area of curves.
Turn 97, Turn 93, Turn 88! Here comes the cake tower!
He took a deep breath and looked more focused than ever before.
Turns 88 to 84 are five consecutive U-shaped curves that spiral downward. They are layered on top of each other and look like a multi-layered cake when viewed from a bird's eye view, so they are called "cake towers".
The cake tower is built on the mountain, with towering cliffs on the inside and dangerous cliffs on the outside.
When cornering, if you are too close to the inside, you risk hitting the cliff; if you are too close to the outside, you may fall off the cliff.
At the same time, due to the obstruction of the cliffs, it is impossible to observe the terrain when exiting the bends in these five bends.
Compared with curves on the road with a wide view, five consecutive curves in the cake are extremely dangerous.
Here, even Lucius, a veteran who had participated in several competitions, slowed down to a minimum and carefully crossed the cake bend.
At this moment, a speeding figure passed by him.
Lucius recognized from the color of his leather jacket and helmet that this was No. 15, the incredibly exquisite little beauty in the same group.
Yu Nian lowered his body, keeping his center of gravity vertical to the board surface, and tilted his body along with the long board under his feet to overcome the centrifugal force.
The slider on his glove rubbed against the ground, bringing out strings of sparks.
So fast!
Obviously he couldn't see the young man's expression while wearing the helmet, but Lucius could vaguely imagine the calmness on his face and the madness in his eyes under the helmet.
"He's really crazy..." Lucius cursed secretly, realizing that his board was a little unstable due to distraction, so he quickly calmed down and focused on the road in front of him.
Cornering, drifting.
The audience was surprised to see that Yu Nian passed the cake tower without any danger at such a speed. His initial speed disadvantage was gradually being smoothed out. After these corners, he had already surpassed several downhill riders.
, successfully reached the first echelon.
Next are three wall-mounted bends, which are not exposed to direct sunlight and there are traces of water remaining on the road.
Yu Nian was prepared, and his stable posture was not affected much by the slippery marks.
When the race was halfway through, Yu Nian had already reached the third place among all the players!
"Well done!" Wu Qian clenched his fists.
As long as this ranking can be maintained, he will definitely have a seat in the finals!
But what Wu Qian had been worried about finally happened. The continuous cornering consumed a lot of Yu Nian's physical strength. His body posture could vaguely show that he was exhausted.
Sweat dripped down Yu Nian's chin, and was blown by the oncoming wind onto the concrete road behind him. The mark left behind quickly evaporated and disappeared.
"Hold on, Yu Nian." Wu Qian looked nervous. He knew that Yu Nian's advantageous section had passed. When his physical strength dropped to the bottom, he could only rely on willpower to complete the race.
The audience also discovered this and cheered him up: "Come on, No. 15!"
"Come on!"
After crossing another curve, sweat slid down his forehead and flooded into his eyes, causing a stinging pain. Yu Nian closed his eyes uncontrollably. At this moment, the wheels knocked into the seams of the road, and the longboard began to violently
Shake it up.
His physical strength was no longer enough to control such a situation, and his body fell to the road in an instant, slamming into the low wall on the outside of the mountain road.
Wu Qian and Deng Jingwei, who were watching the game, immediately stood up from their seats.
If there was no protective wall on the outside of the road, he would fall directly into the abyss!
The spectators watching the game also exclaimed.
"No. 15 fell. He was protected by protective gear, and with his good unloading posture, such a fall should not have had a big impact. But he hit the low wall on the outside of the road! Even after rolling to unload,
The speed of the impact is still high, which will undoubtedly make his brain dizzy."
The young man who was not strong on the road moved, and during this period, two downhill climbers passed him one after another.
Yu Nian heard his violent breathing. The moment he fell out, time seemed to slow down. All the sounds of the wind and the sound of wheels rolling across the ground seemed to have disappeared. Until his body hit the ground and hit the low wall, time seemed to slow down.
The flow rate seems to be normal again.
He raised his hand and through the camera he could see a pool of blood on the ground.
"He is injured." The commentator said solemnly, "Will he give up the game or continue to complete the game?"
Yu Nian felt a little dizzy. For a moment, he wanted to lie down on the road, catch his breath, close his eyes and sleep.
He thought about his life before entering the book, which was smooth and smooth, and he was a proud man of heaven.
His hand was hailed as a blessing from the gods, the most outstanding gift. Even a scratch the size of a fingernail would make the people around him nervous.
However, the blood flowing from his hands stained the gray-white road red at this moment.
Yu Nian stood up holding on to the low wall.
He looked at the continuous mountains at the foot of the mountain road, one after another, rushing towards him.
It's not time to rest yet.
Doing your best is better than trying your best.
He doesn't know his direction yet, and he doesn't know the meaning of it all yet, but.
"I want to win."
Both in the past and now.
"I want to win."
He got back on the longboard.
The sunlight rolled down the PC shield of his helmet, reflecting colorful glare.
"Athlete No. 15 chose to continue the race! His fall delayed nearly 40 seconds, during which time several downhillers overtook him."
"Fortunately, the advantage brought by continuous high-speed drifting and cornering in the early stage is still there, and he is still in the first echelon! But can he still qualify for promotion?"
Under the worries of the commentator, Yu Nian did not hesitate to slide down to the end of the road.
Wu Qian pursed his lips, put his hands together in front of his forehead and prayed.
I tried my best, no matter what the result was, I tried my best.
Yu Nian kept an eye on the road ahead. The most densely curved area had passed, followed by a smooth slope. With a relatively wide field of vision, he could maintain high speed and adapt to changes.
"He is accelerating! Unbelievable! Player No. 15 has already grasped the road conditions and chose to accelerate despite being injured and exhausted!"
The first and second place crossed the finish line first.
Several more figures crossed the finish line.
Everyone held their breath, and when Yu Nian also crossed the finish line, unprecedented shouts broke out.
Ranking information will be given quickly on the timer.
The commentator's excited voice sounded: "Eighth in the group! No. 15 failed to advance directly with the top six results in the group, but his timing ranking was still in the top eight of the rest. He got one of the 32 final qualifications.
one!"
The whole place was boiling.
Qualifying for the finals after setting foot on the track for the first time is simply an incredible thing.
Yu Nian gasped and took off his gloves that were wet with sweat and blood.
It's a novel feeling to not be able to advance directly and to select substitutes from the remaining players before qualifying for the finals.
He wants to win.
It's not about barely qualifying for the finals, it's about winning.
At this time, a familiar electronic sound sounded in my mind.
