Legend of Tomorrow

The archery ranking competition that Guo Xu participated in had a terrifying ratings, and audiences from all over the world stayed in front of the TV to watch him.

As far back as 10,000 years ago in the Mesolithic Age, humans invented bows and arrows for hunting. Later, bows and arrows became one of the important weapons used in war. Bows and arrows have been used throughout the history of human development, leaving many idioms and allusions, such as borrowing arrows from a straw boat, one arrow lands, one arrow two eagles, three arrows set the Tianshan Mountains, it is easy to dodge open and hidden arrows, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee …

In short, archery has survived as a favorite sport.

The first day of the Olympic Games is the archery competition. The individual competition is divided into three stages: ranking competition, knockout competition and finals. The shooting range is 70 meters.

First, there will be a ranking match. There will be 64 male and female athletes each. Each person will shoot 6 groups of 6 arrows, a total of 36 arrows. After resting for 10-15 minutes, they will shoot again according to the above procedure, with a total of 72 arrows.

The accumulated rings of these 72 arrows will rank the male and female players ranked 1st to 64th, and then they will be matched according to the rules. For example, the 1st place versus the 64th place, the 2nd place versus the 63rd place, and so on for the knockout rounds.

In the knockout round, each athlete shoots 12 arrows, divided into 4 rounds, with 3 arrows in each round, and each arrow is shot in turn for 30 seconds. The cumulative number of rounds in each game is tied, one point is awarded, and the winner gets two points. If four games are tied, overtime will be entered, and the total score will be entered into the next round.

A total of 8 people will enter the finals. The archery method and number of arrows in the finals are the same as those in the knockout round until the champion and runner-up are determined.

To put it simply, you need to keep eliminating people through singles until the top four are determined. The two winners in the semifinals compete for the championship, and the two losers compete for a bronze medal. It's simple and fair.

This tests the stability of the athletes. The champion is 80% the most stable one, because the strength of the top archers is not very different, and even an abnormality in a certain round may lead to elimination. Ranking cannot determine the outcome, it is common for the lower to overcome the higher.

Guo Xu's training in the time loop follows the rhythm of the Olympic Games. It is very targeted and not impatient.

A funny situation occurred during the live broadcast of the game. Almost all the cameras from all countries were focused on Guo Xu's field. They didn't care about anyone else. The content of this live broadcast was Jason Guo Qualifying Tournament.

Then something happened that shocked everyone. Guo Xu shot 72 arrows in a perfect rhythm and ranked first without any cheating.

British commentator: Oh my god, Jason Guo is ranked number one in the tournament. He is ranked number one in the tournament. He is actually number one!

American commentator: I think the mood of players from all over the world is similar to that of Iverson in the 2001 Finals.

The reality is so cruel, they can't beat Jason Guo, who looks relatively amateur. Jason was the last pick in the NBA draft. Although he was low, he had proven his ability. However, he had not practiced archery systematically.

Korean commentator: Guo Xu's ancestors have Korean ancestry, so he can use bows and arrows originated from Korea with ease.

Japanese commentator: The God of Arrows made a surprise appearance in the Olympics. If he had been in the Heian Era, he would have been a military commander like Hei Kyousuke! He would have shot Sato Tsunobu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Yoshitsune, in the Battle of Yashima.

Another commentator was equally enthusiastic: Innocent, he is obviously more like the founder of Suiha Sai-ryu, Ichinomiya Suihasai...

Nani? You don't understand at all. Judging from his majestic posture, how could he be following the wave of Sairyu?

Chinese radio stations also do not broadcast live the matches of their own players, otherwise the audience will protest.

The commentator was very artistic: Guo Xu came here just for the gold medal, and his performance was really... But if you make a flying general in Dragon City, you won't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yinshan Mountains.

Someone left a message online: I have a foreign nationality. Will foreigners help guard the Great Wall?

This post will be dug up in the future. In the future, there will really be foreigners who will help guard the Great Wall. He is good at archery and growing potatoes.

In the next two days, Guo Xu participated in the men's individual 1/32 knockout round and 1/16 knockout round, and successfully reached the finals. He also helped the U.S. men's team reach the finals.

Players from other countries felt like they were in hell. Isn’t this guy a basketball star who wants to show off? Isn't that awesome?

On the 29th, the men’s team final was between the United States and Italy.

Before the game, the Italian coach encouraged morale and said: Don't worry, as long as everyone calms down and performs at the same level as in training, we will definitely win. The pressure is on the US team, because Jason Guo prepared in a hurry and he lacks competition experience and is prone to making mistakes. He can easily go haywire under pressure.

However, no, Guo Xu was the most stable person on the American team, helping the United States narrowly defeat Italy 220 to 219 and win the gold medal in the men's archery team, while the Italian team won the silver medal.

When Guo Xu hit the winning arrow, the audience both at the scene and in front of the TV were stunned.

The Chinese commentator shouted: Champion! Guo Xu crossed the border and won an Olympic gold medal in archery. His psychological quality is too strong. This is his first time participating in an archery competition. The United States letting him compete was not what people had guessed at the beginning. The relationship owner put on a show, and he broke the rumors with his actions.

The Italian commentator lamented: Perhaps for Jason Guo, who is used to seeing big scenes, participating in the Archery Olympics will not cause any psychological pressure at all.

No archery player in this Olympics can match Guo Xu's mental quality. No matter whether they are male or female, these players have never killed anyone. Guo Xu had directly shot and killed a drug dealer in the time loop while practicing archery. Other than him, no other player would try to show off with his life.

When he jumped off the container, he shouted You have failed this city! It took him a split second from aiming to shooting the arrow. Shooting one arrow in 30 seconds? He had already been shot and beaten by drug dealers.

His superhero-like training method cannot be copied, allowing him to reach a terrifying state. From the moment he aims to taking action, he can maintain absolute concentration and perform at his best without any distractions.

Because his muscle memory told him that if he missed the shot, the consequences would be disastrous. He might be shot or die.

The award ceremony was held later. Guo Xu and his teammates stood on the championship podium, received a gold medal, and showed off to the camera and the audience in front of the TV.

Then he hurriedly left the arena, took a shower and changed into a custom-made suit. He attended the press conference dressed as a movie star and accepted interviews from media from various countries. Two hundred media seats had to be grabbed.

He couldn't be interviewed on the field. There were too many people who wanted to interview him, and they surrounded him three times inside and outside the meeting.

The reporters first listened to him talk about his feelings about winning the championship, and then asked him when he practiced archery. Guo Xu said that it was a hobby, and he mainly practiced it when he went hunting.

Same as shooting accurately in basketball, I have always been talented in aiming. I am also a natural hunter, and I am actually very accurate with guns. I should also be able to compete for medals in pistol shooting or Frisbee shooting. Unfortunately, there is a time conflict, so I only I can participate in two events.”

The reporter asked: Are you confident that you can win medals in taekwondo competitions? This is completely different from archery.

Everyone in the venue was in disbelief. Even senior reporters never thought that one day they would be able to ask such a question in the Olympics. In this Olympic Games, Guo Xu participated in two cross-border sports. The training methods of these two sports are completely unrelated.

Guo Xu smiled and said: Taekwondo is hard to say, and many techniques cannot be used. I am confident in mixed martial arts. I have practiced several kinds of kung fu. I just hope that the referee will not call me too many fouls, and I will not use the moves that others cannot use. It represents a violation!”

The reporters suddenly didn’t know what to ask. They had a hunch that the Taekwondo competition might be more exciting...
