On the playing field, only Holly did not fire. The way he picked up the gun and then put it down came into everyone's eyes. Everyone could feel Holly's indecision.
Everyone looked at Holly with expectant eyes, including the referee on the scene, but the referee did not rush Holly. This was the last shot of the game and the one that determined the final outcome. Holly should have spent more time preparing for it. Prepare for this shot. What's more, after waiting for several hours to play, I don't care about waiting for dozens of seconds.
At this time, Holly felt the expectant gazes of the people around him, and this expectation caused him greater psychological pressure.
"9.5 rings. I only need to shoot 9.5 rings with this shot to win. It is not difficult for me. As long as I perform normally, no! Even if my performance is slightly worse, I can still score 9.5 rings. !”
Holly kept cheering himself up, but he didn't realize that this only showed his guilt and lack of confidence.
Holly raised his rifle again, but the competition he had participated in over the past few years came to his mind.
He remembered that when he participated in the Olympic Games for the second time, in the last shot, he only needed to score 6 or more rings to win. However, he only scored 4.4 rings, giving up the Olympic gold medal once again.
The experiences of failure are like fast forwarding in a movie, flashing through Holly's memory. The more Holly doesn't want to recall these tragic pasts, the more the influence of these past failures will continue to appear on him. In my thoughts.
Over the years, he has experienced too many failures, and each time he lost his chain during the last shot. Logically speaking, he should have been numb, or gradually forgotten, but every time when those memories appeared, they were extremely... It's so clear, it's like being there.
"Don't think so much, aim at the target and pull the trigger!" Holly tried to concentrate.
He raised the rifle, aimed his eyes at the sight, and aimed at the target in front of him. The whole action was very steady.
Finally, Holly pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded.
At the same time, Holly felt that the shot was very steady.
"Is it an illusion? The shot I fired just now seemed pretty good, and it was very stable."
The next second, Holly immediately looked at the small screen next to him.
On the small screen, the location where Holly's shot hit appeared. The center of the circle caused by the shot was exactly between the nine-ring and ten-ring circles.
"Over 9 rings! In the last shot, I scored over 9 rings again!" Holly felt his heart pounding, and he immediately looked at the results below.
"9.5 rings, exactly 9.5 rings, I won!"
At this moment, what Holly thought about was not to celebrate, but to confirm whether he was dreaming.
…
"9.5 rings, exactly 9.5 rings! How is this possible? How could Holly's last shot be so good!" Prince opened his mouth slightly, finding it difficult to accept the result.
In fact, in the last ten shots, Prince has been lagging behind, and the number of rings behind has been increasing. Under normal circumstances, Prince should have been mentally prepared to lose the game.
However, Prince always believed that he would win in the end, because the opponent he faced was Adam Hawley, a shooter who was bound to lose his chain in the last shot. Prince even felt that this game would be like the previous two National Shooting Championships, where Holly made a bad last shot and then handed the championship to himself.
But today's game did not follow Prince's script.
Prince lost, and only lost by 0.1 rings. It was really embarrassing to lose the game with such a result.
And this was a 50-meter three-position competition. In a few hours, Prince fired a total of 1,210 shots. He thought he was sure to win, but in the end he lost the competition because of a gap of 0.1 rings. This kind of competition The experience is really bad. !
…
The cheers and applause at the scene instantly rang out. This kind of game where the last shot determines the winner is inherently highly entertaining, and Holly's 9.5 rings also made him win with an advantage of 0.1 rings. This This dramatic result will make the audience feel that it is worth their money. What's more, this time Holly finally didn't miss the last shot. This was Holly's "long-lost" kill.
The cheers from the audience reached Holly's ears. The sound was a little different from usual, because such enthusiastic sounds are rarely seen in shooting competitions, and this also gave Holly an unreal feeling.
"Am I dreaming?" Holly looked around confusedly.
However, at this moment, opponents on the left and right came over one after another, including Prince, and congratulated Holly.
Someone shook hands with Holly, and Holly could clearly feel the warmth coming from the other person's hand;
Someone tapped Holly on the shoulder, and Holly could clearly feel the weight on his arm;
Someone else gave Holly a hug. Holly took a breath and could clearly smell the cologne on the other person's body.
All of this is telling Holly that everything he has experienced so far is true!
"This time, I really won! I finally won, with my last shot!" Holly finally began to wave to the audience to thank him, while tears kept rolling in his eyes.
Finally, while waving to the stands, Holly saw Dai Li and Blake.
"It's Coach Li!" Holly was stunned for a moment, remembering the strange training he had received in the past ten days.
"My last shot scored 9.5. Could it be the effect of training? Dancing, practicing yoga, and running rampant. Are those weird trainings really effective?" Holly suddenly realized this.
The situation where the last gun fell off the chain has troubled Holly for more than ten years. In order to solve this problem, he has received various trainings and many psychological treatments, but it still has no effect. However, in today's game, this problem that had troubled him for more than ten years was suddenly solved!
Problems will not be solved for no reason. Every change will always have a trigger.
Holly feels that there is no difference between his past self and his current self. The only difference is that Holly received training from Dai Li.
"Perhaps Coach Li's training is the trigger for change!" Holly thought to himself. He had already made the decision to continue to receive training from Dai Li in the future, even if the training was really weird.
…
In the stands, Dai Li let out a sigh of relief.
"It's exactly 9.5 rings. It's just a little bit close. If you miss 0.2 rings, you'll lose. What a risk!"
This result was something Li Dai did not expect. Li Dai originally thought that by using the status scale to make Holly's state the most stable, Holly should be able to achieve a 10-ring score. After all, his personal ability value is over 900 points.
But in the end, Holly only scored 9.5 points, which really shocked Dai Li into a cold sweat.
"Based on Holly's true level, 9.5 is definitely not a good result for me, and can even be considered a result below the normal level. It seems that the problem of Holly's last shot being inaccurate is really serious, even if I force it to Despite his most stable state, he could still only score a 9.5 ring. This heart disease also requires a medical doctor. Holly's problem is caused by psychology and should be solved psychologically. Simply relying on the state scale will only treat the symptoms. Not treating the root cause.”
Thinking of this, Dai Li's expression looked depressed. He was a sports coach, not a psychiatrist, and there were no tools or skills in the system to solve this kind of psychological problem.
Dai Li turned his head and looked at Blake beside him, only to find that Blake had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Randy, what are you thinking about?" Dai Li asked.
"I'm thinking about the training center's next publicity plan. Holly won, which is also a good advertisement for us." Blake made a helpless expression: "To be honest, I thought Holly's last shot It would definitely be inaccurate again, so I didn’t think he would win the game at all, so I didn’t think about subsequent publicity. But he won, which caught me off guard.”
"I have already said that in ten days, I can transform Holly." Dai Li patted Brayton on the shoulder and stood up at the same time: "Let's go back to Los Angeles. As for the publicity plan, you are here Think about it slowly on the plane!"
