According to the judgment of the team doctor, Fang Haiquan did not injure his bones or joints. The most serious injury was just a ligament strain. If it was less serious, it might just be a muscle strain. That's why Li Dai dared to take the initiative and offered to give Fang Haiquan a massage. If Fang Haiquan's injury was serious, Dai Li would never dare to come forward.
Although Li Dai's rehabilitation massage cannot treat trauma, it is of great help in the recovery of injuries. Whether it is a ligament strain or an ordinary muscle strain, rehabilitation massage can be effective, at least it can help Fang Haiquan relieve himself. Pain, if you spray some cold air mist analgesic, you will have no problem coping with a trial jump.
Xue Li also knew that Li Dai's massage skills were very good. Some athletes in the national team had sprained before, and asking Li Dai to massage them could have a great relief effect.
"Xiao Li, is it still too late for a massage? How sure are you?" Xue Li couldn't help but ask.
"It's hard to say how sure it is, but at least I can give it a try." While Li Dai was speaking, he squatted next to Fang Haiquan and said to Xue Li at the same time: "Coach, help me buy some time and try as much as possible. a little."
Xue Li didn't hesitate. He immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Director Chen, I am Xue Li of the track and field team. There is a very urgent matter now. I hope you can help! We need some time for the long jump final. Yes, delay the game! We are the host, find an excuse to delay the time, we should Isn’t it difficult…”
After a while, Xue Li ended the call and said to Li Dai: "It is the end of the third trial jump. The athletes will rearrange their appearance order based on their results. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I helped you fight for 15 minutes. This This is the limit, no more.”
…
After the three trial jumps, some people were happy and some were worried. The happy ones were naturally the top eight athletes, while the bottom four athletes were sad because they had been eliminated.
Three athletes from the national team entered the top eight. In addition, Saudi Arabia also had three athletes enter the top eight. The final three trial jumps became a competition between the two countries.
In the athlete preparation area, Saudi Arabian player Saldo looked a little anxious.
"Why hasn't the fourth trial jump started yet? It's just reordering according to results. Does it take so much time?" Sardo complained.
The head coach of the Saudi team next to him immediately spoke to comfort him: "Sardo, don't worry, the game should start soon."
"I have been waiting for more than ten minutes! I am only in second place now. In the next three trial jumps, I have to surpass the guy who is ranked first. How could I lose to such an unknown person!"
Sardo is also a naturalized athlete. His native place is Morocco, Africa. Morocco is also a country dominated by Arabs. Due to the same religious and cultural reasons, many countries in the Middle East will naturalize athletes from Morocco.
Sardo is one of the best. In the last Asian Games, he helped the Saudi team win a gold medal in the long jump, so he is also aiming to defend his title this time. In terms of strength, Sardo does have the ability to win the championship. The eight-meter mark in the long jump is not too difficult for Sardo.
Perhaps because of his eagerness to win, Saldo adopted a relatively extreme jumping method in the first three attempts. As a result, only one of the attempts was successful, and the other two attempts failed. However, even if this trial jump was successful, Sardo still jumped 7.85 meters, ranking second among all athletes.
Of course, the second place result cannot satisfy Saldo's appetite. In Saldo's view, he should easily win the championship with a sweep, but Fang Haiquan seemed to have Cheng Yaojin come out of nowhere and ruined Saldo's plan. .
More importantly, Fang Haiquan was still an unknown newcomer in the international competition. How could Saldo tolerate losing to a rookie athlete
So now Sardo can't wait for the competition to start as soon as possible. He wants to achieve a result that is enough to win the championship. He does not want Fang Haiquan to continue to hold him down.
Next to him, the coach of the Saudi team said: "Sardo, you don't have to be so anxious. The championship will be yours sooner or later. The athlete ranked first was injured in the second trial jump. He was injured in the second trial. He also abstained from three trial jumps, indicating that his injury is no longer able to continue the competition! I think he will continue to abstain from the next three trial jumps."
"The game hasn't started yet, maybe we are delaying his treatment!" Sardo also has rich experience in the game, so he thought of this.
"I have communicated with the referee. The referee told us that in order to cooperate with the TV broadcast, the game must be suspended for 15 minutes before it can continue." The Saudi coach continued: "This is a normal thing. TV broadcast games always We have to consider advertising sponsors. Even in the Super Bowl, isn't there a TV commercial in the middle? Besides, it's only 15 minutes. Do you think that just 15 minutes can get the injured guy back on the field? If so. If so, he won’t give up on his third try!”
…
15 minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the fourth trial jump had begun.
"How's it going?" Xue Li asked anxiously.
"Wait a minute, it's not working yet." Li Dai was giving Fang Haiquan a rehabilitation massage.
"But the fourth test jump has already begun!" Xue Li frowned as he looked at the athletes lining up on the field waiting to appear.
"Give up the fourth trial jump!" Dai Li said decisively.
Xue Li did not continue to speak, because Liu Jinrui, another athlete of the national team, appeared on the stage at this time. I saw him leap high into the air, and when he landed, his heels happened to be pressing on the 8-meter line. "
"8 meters! Liu Jinrui, great job!" Xue Li clenched his fists excitedly.
Fang Haiquan's face also looked anxious. The appearance of a better result made him want to get on the field immediately.
"Don't worry, calm down! Take a deep breath." Dai Li's voice sounded.
Fang Haiquan followed what Li Dai said, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and tried to suppress his eagerness.
"Saudi athlete Mubala jumped 7.92 meters!"
“The Emir of Qatar’s score is 7.98 meters!”
On the fourth trial jump, the contestants began to work hard, and their results improved significantly.
Finally, Sardo, the long jump champion of the last Asian Games, stood in the running area.
"The best result now is 8.02 meters. I must jump 8.10 meters in this jump to ensure I win the championship!"
Sardo took a deep breath and started to run.
"Ha!" With a loud shout, Sardo jumped up high, made a walking motion in the air, and then fell steadily into the sand pool.
"Passed the 8-meter line!" Xue Li's heart tightened, and then the measurement staff gave a score of 8.11 meters.
"8.11 meters, this is a result that can win the championship. Thanks to Sardo, it seems that he is really likely to defend the title!"
Sardo walked off the field with a proud look on his face. He was already in first place, and his lead was still huge. Few people in Asia can achieve this score of 8.11 meters.
Faced with this score of 8.11 meters, Fang Haiquan couldn't help but want to stand up, but Dai Li suddenly suppressed Fang Haiquan's legs.
"Hold it! You have already given up on your fourth trial jump!" Li Dai waited for Fang Haiquan seriously: "You only have one chance now, so you have to wait until the end, until your leg injury can recover better. !”
Fang Haiquan shook his teeth and endured it again.
…
The Saudi team coach's face was full of smiles: "Sardo, I have told you before that the injured guy will not come back again. He has already given up on his fourth try."
"I was so nervous for nothing. I thought they were some dark horses from somewhere!" Sardo's expression also seemed relaxed.
"Okay, Sardo, now you are ranked first, and you have an advantage in the order of appearance. Next, work hard to achieve better results, I believe the championship must be yours!"
