'After warming up, let's go for the record?'
'Just a warm-up?'
'Are you kidding me?'
As expected, Yang Sheng's words sparked a burst of whispers.
Now the height of the pole has been adjusted to 1.75 meters, which is almost the limit for ordinary students.
Is he still warming up
Li Shi from Class 2, Xu Yan from Class 11, and even fellow contestants Tao Nian and Wu Tianyu, all looked at him sideways.
"What are you talking about!" Ge Hao, who was standing behind the crowd, uttered disdainful words.
After he made the bet with his eyes closed, he immediately made a strategic retreat. Now, he returned just to witness the final champion.
However, the student who had bet with him actually won round after round, and Ge Hao was furious.
"Damn it, you don't have the strength, so you resort to crooked means." Ge Hao cursed.
Shen Xu looked at him and shook his head in his heart, thinking that Ge Hao had a problem with his brain.
Before, Ge Hao saw that he was making money and wanted him to give him some advice. But now it seems that he should stay away from such people, otherwise he will be implicated sooner or later.
Yang Sheng was under the spotlight, yet he remained carefree, calm and natural, without any sign of timidity.
Not to mention Jiang Ning, in order to experience life, he has always maintained a low-key attitude towards life. Apart from a few fights and getting good grades, he rarely stands out.
But since you are participating in the sports meet, no matter how low-key you are, it will be useless because the champion will definitely attract attention.
Besides, in previous sports meets, he couldn't even make it to the finals and was always just a supporting role. It's rare for him to get a chance to shine now.
Jiang Ning said loudly: "Warm up again."
After saying that, without giving anyone time to react, Jiang Ning ran towards the railing. His running start was very brisk, as if he didn't use any strength, and he jumped lightly and passed over the pole.
The feeling it gives to everyone is relaxation.
Tang Fu, a long-legged girl from Class 7, muttered, "It's so easy, so easy."
“Something is wrong…”
She felt that Jiang Ning's dance was so easy, from the start to landing on the mat.
As everyone was exclaiming, Wang Longlong shouted, "In the front leap, Jiang Ning is the only one who leaped over 1.75 meters. Who else?"
His excited shouts echoed throughout the high jump arena.
"It's so cool, a leapfrog battle with a backflip!" Shan Kaiquan exclaimed.
He was a competition athlete and knew how difficult the leapfrog style was. He couldn't even jump 160 meters using the leapfrog style.
Some students who seemed to understand said: "His core is too strong."
Li Shi from Class 2 said to Lin Zida, "Is this result impressive?"
Lin Zida was watching the competition. He said seriously, "A front leap of 175 is the best level even in Ancheng High School."
Li Shi: "Oh, it seems Jiang Ning has some skills."
Tao Nian, a sophomore sports student, finally got serious and jumped 175 meters, which is indeed an amazing result.
However, if you only know how to do the straddle style, you will not go far in the high jump. None of the top high jump athletes use the straddle style, they all use the back jump style.
According to Tao Nian's observation, almost no student who is not a member of the sports team can master the standard back jump.
Like Zhuang Jianhui, he switched from leaping over to back leaping over, but that was a fake back leaping over, without much bonus, it all depended on a strong foundation.
As for the other short boy, well, Tao Nian admitted that he couldn't see through him.
But it doesn’t matter, after his analysis, a fact was proved.
'This boy has exhausted his potential!'
Tao Nian’s only real opponent is Wu Tianyu from the senior high school sports team.
There are only 5 people left who have passed the 1.75-meter-high railing.
Next, the height is 1.8 meters.
Wu Xiaoqi is on it!
Wang Longlong took out his fan and fanned himself gently. He looked at Wu Xiaoqi's running back and sighed:
"How could our Class 8 have such great honor to have two great generals?"
The appearance of Wu Xiaoqi itself meant a miracle. He had a natural disadvantage in height, at 1.8 meters, which was much taller than him.
Wu Xiaoqi jumped with all his might, but hit the pole and failed in his first jump.
Sighs were heard all around: "It's too high!"
He turned back and tried again, three times in a row, but all failed.
Wu Xiaoqi was eliminated.
The squad leader Huang Zhongfei greeted him and gave him a bottle of Red Bull:
"Wu Xiaoqi, you are not injured, right? Your last move was quite dangerous."
Wu Xiaoqi said seriously: "I have undergone rigorous training and will not be injured."
"That's good. Don't be sad. You are already very strong to have achieved this point." Huang Zhongfei comforted.
Wu Xiaoqi was not disappointed at all. He was still confident: "See you next year!"
After saying that, he went to Shan Xiao to get the basketball, then turned around and left in a cool manner.
He walked so decisively. Now it is time for the finals and the final result is about to be announced. The number of spectators at the high jump venue is increasing and everyone is looking forward to it.
But he was gone.
Shan Xiao shouted from afar: "Aren't you going to stay and see the champion?"
Wu Xiaoqi didn't even turn his head, like a free and easy player incarnated as a swordsman:
"When I come back, I will be the champion."
Wu Xiaoqi left quietly, taking his basketball with him.
Following Wu Xiaoqi, Zhuang Jianhui from Class 1 was also eliminated.
He retreated to the audience, and Li Shi couldn't help asking, "Jianhui, you can dunk, so your jumping ability should be very good, so why did you lose to them?"
Zhuang Jianhui's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little shocked. In such a small school like No. 4 Middle School, there were actually three people who were better than him.
Lin Zida said: "His jumping ability is acceptable, but his strengths are different. If he is willing to spend half a month practicing back jumps, he will definitely be able to pass the 1.8-meter jump."
The next contestant is Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning took to the court again, everyone looked at him differently, especially the first-year high school students.
Xu Yan from Class 11 had originally placed high hopes on Bai Han from the class. Unfortunately, Bai Han failed in front of the 1.75-meter pole.
Although she was not from Class 8, she saw this scene and shouted:
"Jiang Ning, come on, win the game for us!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then Wang Longlong shouted: "Jiang Ning, you are the only one in the first grade!"
Yes, as of now, there are only three athletes left competing for the championship in the high jump competition, namely Jiang Ning from the first year of high school, Tao Nian from the second year of high school, and Wu Tianyu from the third year of high school.
Jiang Ning represents the entire first year of high school.
Xu Yan not only shouted herself, but also encouraged the girls in the class to cheer for Jiang Ning.
Looking at Bai Han from Class 11, I feel a strange feeling and blame him for not living up to expectations.
Jiang Ning stood at the starting point, he still appeared very calm.
Yang Sheng: "Are you still warming up?"
Jiang Ning: "It's time to be more serious."
He stretched his legs and ran towards the railing. Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Ning jumped up and slid over the railing.
Wang Longlong immediately shouted: "Flops! He did the Flops!"
Calls were heard everywhere.
Yang Sheng praised: "Very standard!"
"Is it really awesome?" Geng Lu didn't understand, she just thought it was cool.
"Awesome, he has a hope of winning the championship." Yang Sheng said. She was skeptical before, but now after seeing Jiang Ning's movements, she is sure that he has definitely practiced it before.
Tao Nian finally took it seriously. He was 1.8 meters tall, very impressive. However, it was just taking it seriously. His limit was to set the record.
1.8m, 1.85m, 1.9m.
It was not until the 1.9-meter mark that Wu Tianyu, a senior high school student, was eliminated.
Only Jiang Ning and Tao Nian were left in the room.
The student in charge of adjusting the pole stood on a stool and adjusted the pole because it was too high.
Before the pole jumping, physical education teacher Gu Wei raised the loudspeaker and solemnly announced:
"The next one is 1.95 meters, but our No. 4 High School's high jump record is 1.95 meters, so this time we'll raise it by 1 centimeter to 1.96 meters. Come on, both students."
The school records have arrived.
His words added a sense of mission to the following game.
This time, it was high school sophomore Tao Nian who jumped first.
He took more time to prepare than usual, aiming for the right moment, and with the most standard posture, he rushed to the pole, tensed his leg muscles, and flew up.
There were shouts from the crowd, very loud, but the pole fell and the loud shouts gradually faded away.
Someone said: "Just a little bit more!"
It was this tiny bit that became an insurmountable chasm. Tao Nian had three chances, and each time he was just a little bit short.
“It’s too difficult.”
"Yeah, I wonder which senior had the record of 195 before. How could he jump that high?"
Discussions were heard from all directions.
People looked at Jiang Ning again.
If he could jump over it, he would set a new record and win the game.
If you can't jump over, you will lower the height and compete with Tao Nian for the championship.
Among the crowd of student audiences, Wang Longlong miraculously attracted a dozen more listeners amid the noise because he always explained a few words every time a contestant took off, and his explanation was quite good.
Wang Longlong shouted: "The high jump event is the embodiment of 'higher' in track and field sports, symbolizing the spirit of striving hard and climbing to the top..."
Jiang Ning moved his hands.
Bai Yuxia in the audience didn't understand. Shouldn't he move his legs
Jiang Ning ran to the railing, leaped up, and his figure passed over the horizontal bar, drawing a graceful curve, like a fish diving or a bird flying.
The physical education teacher exclaimed: "1.96 meters!"
The audience instantly jumped up and cheered!
Wang Longlong burst out with a huge voice, sonorous and powerful, resounding:
"We are now seeing Jiang Ning from Class 8 of Senior 1. He has broken the high jump record that had been held for 20 years. Now everyone is witnessing the birth of a new school high jump record, 1.96 meters!"
Wang Longlong shouted: "We are witnessing a historic moment."
"20 years, 20 years! All of you here may not have been born yet!"
At the same time, the unique melody of the sports meeting sounded in the campus. All the students in the school understood what this song meant. This melody was played only after the record was broken.
"Congratulations to Jiang Ning from Class 8 of Grade 1 for breaking the No. 4 Middle School men's high jump record of 1.96 meters!"
The announcer's voice spread throughout the campus.
…
Teaching Building No. 3.
The whole building was quiet because the students had already run to the playground.
Chen Qian was the only one in Class 8.
This was his time alone.
The noise and cheers from the campus seemed like an echo in the wind behind my ears, so far away.
Suddenly, it sounded in my ears again, "Congratulations to Jiang Ning from Class 8 of Senior 1..."
Chen Qian heard it clearly. He was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't care much about it.
Be it sports meets or records, none of them have anything to do with him. That is not his path.
…
Teaching Building No. 3, 1st floor, classrooms and offices.
Chemistry teacher Guo Ran is selecting topics and preparing to print them out as test papers to be used as homework for students during the May Day holiday.
Xue Yuantong sat in a chair playing computer, eating snacks and drinking beverages.
Xue Yuantong was extremely happy as he enjoyed the cool air of the air conditioner.
She also heard the horn.
Xue Yuantong's ears moved, and she listened again with snacks in her little hands, only to confirm that it was her number one subordinate, Jiang Ning, who broke the school record.
She shook her calves: "As expected of my Jiang Ning!"
Guo Ran looked up: "I won the award, don't you want to go and see it?"
Xue Yuantong shook his head: "My sitting here has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the troops."
Guo Ran thought: "Isn't the angle unusually unique?"
"1.96 meters, not bad."
Xue Yuantong made an analogy: "Suddenly it occurred to me that 1.96 meters tall means that Jiang Ning can jump over my head, right?"
Xue Yuantong's eyes widened, as if that scene was happening again and again, she was being humiliated by Jiang Ning flying over her head repeatedly!
Guo Ran glanced at her and lowered his eyes. He saw a pair of toes just touching the ground.
Teacher Guo Ran considered her words carefully: "Well, actually... we don't need someone who is 1.96 meters tall."
…
After the noise.
The high jump competition was over and the crowd dispersed.
The sun got even hotter.
Guo Kunnan walked on the road, talking non-stop: "2.02 meters!"
"In the end, Jiang Ning jumped 2.02 meters!"
He thought back to the long jump competition just now.
"Did you hear from the PE teacher that the first-level male athletes can only jump 2 meters high? Jiang Ning has already surpassed the first-level athletes."
"First-level athletes are eligible for recommendation. Jiang Ning is only in the first year of high school. If he works hard in the next two years, he can even become a master athlete. It is said that he may be exempted from the entrance examination and enter a 985 university!"
"985, even in our school's experimental class, only a small number of people can get in."
Guo Kunnan's words were filled with envy: "A 985 university is my dream."
Seeing that he was about to immerse himself in it, Ma Shicheng burst the bubble of fantasy:
"Brother Nan, even if Jiang Ning doesn't major in sports, he can still get into a 985 university?"
Guo Kunnan woke up immediately.
However, he still insisted on his point of view: "It's not just a matter of 985. If Jiang Ning chooses sports, he won't have to go to class and can train every day. How cool is that?"
While others are in class, he is just playing!
Isn’t this the dream of a high school student
Ma Shicheng was very sober. He patted Nan Ge on the shoulder and said, "If you have two choices, one is to train alone, and the other is to study with a beautiful girl, which one would you choose?"
Guo Kunnan: “…”
He thought of Jiang Ning's situation and then of his Xu Yan.
Guo Kunnan sighed and said sadly: "I have no choice."
For some reason, he suddenly recalled the days when he played Huang Zhongfei and was in love with Manman.
At this moment, Guo Kunnan almost became depressed.
Cui Yu went with them because he promised to treat Dan Kaiquan to some sour plum juice.
The scene of the competition just now is still vivid in my mind, the sensation and praise caused by Jiang Ning, especially the excitement when he raised the record to 2.05 meters in the end.
Cui Yu was longing for it.
Unfortunately, he knelt down at 1.35 meters.
Cui Yu was unwilling to give in, and suddenly a tremendous ambition surged in his heart. He was Cui Yu, Cui Yu. The universe was so vast and boundless, how could he stop here
He wants to train, win awards, shock Jiang Yanan, and shock the girls of No. 4 Middle School!
Cui Yu followed Ma Shicheng and the others forward.
It was almost time to go home from school, so they walked to the northeast part of the playground.
"Brother Quan, look!" When Guo Kunnan was feeling lost, he suddenly saw a beam of light. He quickly patted Kai Quan and asked his good brother to appreciate it together.
That was a very beautiful girl.
