"Snapped!"
The clear gunshot sounded, and Adam Holly looked at the monitor next to him, and a score of 9.7 appeared on it.
This is not a very good result, even average is a bit unsatisfactory, but Holly is quite satisfied with this result, because this is the first shot among the last ten shots. The main function of this shot is to calibrate the gun. It is a target, so a score of less than 10 rings is not bad. Calculated according to the Olympic results, if this shot shoots 9.5 or more rings, it is an acceptable result.
After more than ten seconds, all eight players completed the first shot. Only one person scored a good score of 10.2 rings, and the other players' scores were below 10 rings. Holly's main competitor, the curly-haired young man Prince, scored 9.6 rings, which was 0.1 rings behind Holly.
In the second shot, Holly shot 10.2 rings. It seems that after the adjustment in the first shot, his accuracy has indeed improved a lot. Prince's second shot scored 10.1 rings, and he was still 0.1 rings less than Holly.
In the third shot, Holly scored a good score of 10.5 rings. These are the best results so far.
The applause started quickly and ended quickly.
Compared with other sports, shooting sports audiences tend to be relatively calm. They will only give corresponding applause when there is a good result, and this kind of applause will not last long. After all, shooting athletes also want to receive A quiet playing environment.
Although the best score in shooting sports is 10.9 rings, in official competitions, a score of 10.5 rings is already relatively top-notch. Even in world-class competitions like the Olympics, results exceeding 10.5 rings can only occur once or twice in a competition, and these two times are mostly due to luck. This is basically equivalent to hitting the center of a one-yuan coin from fifty meters away, which is obviously impossible without luck.
After the first three shots, Holly's results were better with each shot. At this time, he had gained some leading advantages. Except for Prince, the other players had basically withdrawn from the championship competition.
In the fourth shot, Holly once again shot 10.1 rings. Then in the fifth shot, Holly made a slight adjustment and shot 10.5 rings again, ushering in the full house. In the sixth shot, Holly scored a 10.0 ring, and in the seventh shot, Holly scored a 10.1 ring.
In six consecutive shots, Holly's scores were above 10 rings. This is definitely the undisputed top performance in the world.
…
"Holly is so strong!" Li Dai couldn't help but say. He looked at the results displayed on the big screen. At this time, Holly was already 1.4 rings ahead of Prince, and these 1.4 rings were all achieved in the last seven shots. On average, Holly will hit 0.2 more rings per shot than Prince.
In this level of competition, if each shot hits an average of 0.2 more rings, it can basically be regarded as a two-level player.
Dai Li calculated in his mind, and then said: "There are only three shots left. If Prince wants to win, he will have to take an average of 0.5 rings more than Holly with each shot. This also means that Holly will win." For a 10-ring shot, Pulis will have to go for a 10.5-ring shot. Occasionally, it is possible to get a 10.5-ring shot. Three consecutive shots with such a high ring number are extremely rare in reality. It seems that the overall situation of the game has been determined."
"That's not necessarily the case." Blake shook his head: "Don't forget that Holly is the 'last shot tragedy'. No matter how much ahead he is in the previous games, he may lose all the advantages in the last shot."
"The tragedy of the last shot? That was the former Adam Holly." Dai Li said with a smile on his face: "He came to our training center to seek help, wasn't it just to solve this problem?"
"He only trained with us for ten days. Ten days is such a short time. How much change can there be!" Blake said frustratedly.
"Ten days are enough to transform him." Dai Li's tone was still extremely confident.
…
Holly looked at the results displayed on the screen.
"I am 1.4 rings ahead of Prince. If he wants to beat me, he must recover 1.5 rings in the last three shots. This is almost impossible. I should be steady in the next three shots."
Holly thought of this, raised the rifle in his hand, and aimed forward.
"Bang!" After the crisp gunshot, Holly looked at the small screen next to him, which showed the location where the gun hit the target and the number of rings of the gun.
"This shot is 10.0 points." Holly muttered, and then immediately turned his gaze to the big screen in the distance. He wanted to know the score of Prince's shot.
"In the 10.4th ring, Prince recovered 0.4 rings, and I still have a 1-ring lead." Holly took a deep breath, calmed down, and prepared for the ninth shot.
The referee quickly gave the instruction for the ninth shot, and Holly raised the rifle again, took aim, and completed the shot.
"9.9 rings, Holly has obviously started to seek stability in these two shots recently. Now it depends on whether Prince can seize this opportunity. He has just recovered 0.3 rings. I don't know if he can recover more with this shot. Ring number." As soon as Li Dai finished speaking, Prince's results appeared on the big screen.
"Prince's score in the ninth shot was 9.7 rings. Instead of recovering the gap, he lost another 0.2 rings. He is now 1.2 rings behind Holly."
When shooting players are chasing the ring number, they will inevitably adopt a more hard-working shooting method. This hard-working shooting method can easily achieve a high ring number of about 10.5, but risks and hopes will always coexist. Shoot more hard. This method also means taking additional risks, and this risk is to play a relatively low ring number. In this ninth shot, Prince obviously lost the bet.
In the last shot, the gap between the two sides is 1.2 rings. Theoretically, Holly only needs to shoot a 9.8 ring to ensure that he will win 100%. Because the highest number of shooting rings is 10.9, if Holly shoots 9.8, it means he has gained 11 points. In that case, even if Prince shoots the highest 10.9, he will not be able to win.
However, in reality, 10.9 rings is something that can only be met but cannot be achieved. Under normal circumstances, as long as a score of 10.5 rings is reached, it has reached the ceiling. And based on Prince's score of 10.5 rings, Holly You only need to hit a 9.4 ring to win.
This year, Holly's worst score was 9.7, and he has never scored below 9.5.
Judging from these normal data, Holly can be said to have secured the victory. However, Holly's last shot cannot be viewed from a "normal" perspective. He is famous for his "last shot tragedy."
Prince also knew this very well, so even though he was 1.2 rings behind, he showed no impatience. The proud expression on his face made it seem as if he was the one in the lead.
Prince looked up at the data on the big screen, his expression seemed to be lost in memories.
"This situation now reminds me of the National Shooting Championships the year before last. I remember that I was even further behind, like 2.2 rings behind. I thought I was destined to lose, but Holly's last shot only hit Got a 7.7 ring.”
"Also last year at the National Shooting Championships, when I took the last shot, I was the one lagging behind. I performed very poorly in the last shot and only shot a 9.3 ring. However, Holly didn't even shoot a 7 ring. Well, that time he not only lost the championship, he also lost the runner-up and third place, and finally ended up in fourth place!"
"The tragedy of the last shot. This nickname is indeed worthy of its name. Ever since the miss in the Olympics, he has never been able to hit the last shot well. It was like this before, and it will be like this today, so the 1.2 rings I am behind now are not at all It’s not a problem, what I have to do now is to take the last shot!”
"Yes, take the last shot. Not only that, I will also shoot earlier to put more pressure on Holly!"
At this moment, Prince's eyes were full of determination, and he had already determined that Holly's last shot would inevitably lead to his chain falling again.
At this moment, the referee gave the instruction that the last shot could be fired. Prince immediately raised the rifle and aimed at the gun target fifty meters away.
"Bang!" Prince was the first to pull the trigger.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of applause from the audience.
"10.6 rings. Prince's last shot was really great. He actually shot 10.6 rings. This is the best result this year. Prince is indeed one of the top shooters in the world. He was 1.2 rings behind in the last shot. Under the circumstances, he withstood the pressure and fought back!" Blake couldn't help but exclaimed.
"10.6 minus 1.2 is 9.4. In this case, Holly has to hit a 9.5 ring to surpass Prince and win the championship!" Dai Li said while entering the system. He started to use the status scale, and then All the weights are placed on the stable side.
"After all the weights have been added, Holly is now in the most stable state he can achieve. With his strength, there should be no problem in scoring a 9.5 ring!" Dai Li thought to himself. .
…
On the field, Holly raised his rifle. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the last shot in the Olympics hit someone else's target.
"I shouldn't have aimed at the wrong target, right? I'd better confirm again."
Holly put the rifle down, double-checked that he was on target, and then took aim again.
At the same time, applause broke out from the audience.
Holly lowered his rifle for a second time and looked at the big screen.
"Prince's last shot actually scored 10.6 rings. In this case, my last shot would have to score 9.5 rings to win!"
Holly took a deep breath, raised the rifle a third time, and took aim.
"9.5 rings. I want to shoot 9.5 rings in my last shot. But in the competitions I have participated in in recent years, my last shot has not even shot 9.5 rings. Can I shoot 9.5 rings today?"
Holly aimed his eyes, and the black spot on the gun target 50 meters away kept getting bigger and bigger in his eyes.
"Am I aiming at my gun target? I couldn't have aimed at the gun target next to me!"
The missed target in the Olympics that year was like a nightmare, haunting Holly again, and he put down the rifle for the third time.
"Pah... pah... pah..."
Several contestants nearby completed their last shots one after another, but Holly stood there like a lost pedestrian, looking hesitant.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Holly. Their eyes were expectant. However, they were not looking forward to the birth of a champion, but expecting Holly to make another bad last shot and hand over the championship. people.
"Hey..." Blake sighed. He lowered his head. He couldn't bear to look at Holly. He didn't want to see Holly fail again.
Not far away, a smile finally appeared on Prince's face, and this smile became brighter every time Holly put down his rifle.
