Practicing archery is indeed a very boring process.
In this competitive event, there are definitely skills, but technology is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is one word - stability.
Athletes' hands must be steady, and their hearts must be steady.
Many professional archery athletes can achieve good results of 10 rings during daily practice.
But on the field, we encountered all kinds of problems, and slight fluctuations would affect the final results.
What is even more sad is that, as a country that advocated the Six Arts of the Gentleman two to three thousand years ago, in modern archery competitions, domestic players rarely win the championship.
China in this time and space is similar to China in reality. After re-entering the Olympics for more than ten years, it has still not won a gold medal in the archery competition.
At the Los Angeles Olympics a few years ago, the Chinese archery team won the silver medal in the individual event, which was also the first silver medal in the history of the archery team in the Olympics.
The following year, the National Sports Commission regarded archery as one of its key projects and established more than a dozen key units.
If He Tiantian remembers correctly, the province and city where she is currently located is one of more than a dozen key units.
The sports school in front of them is the training base for the provincial archery team.
He Tiantian also chose archery specifically considering the current situation, the local emphasis on archery, and the lack of participation in international competitions.
She has a cheat, and the country in this time and space also needs an Olympic champion, so she, a vain villain, can just bring glory to the country.
Archery definitely plays an important part in He Tiantian's plan to complete the mission.
Therefore, after arriving at the learning space, she devoted all her energy to learning little by little from the martial arts master.
Training stance, honing arm strength, simple techniques and fixed movements, she repeated over and over again, year after year.
Fixed target, moving target, standing, half-kneeling... He Tiantian took the trouble until he perfected this technique.
Of course, in modern parlance, this means developing muscle memory.
That is, without any preparation, as long as she touches the bow and arrow, she can subconsciously bend the bow and set the arrow, and successfully hit the target!
During the training process year after year, He Tiantian discovered another wonderful use of the virtual learning space.
That is, the learning space can actually simulate various illusory scenes.
For example, in order to give He Tiantian a strong heart and stable emotions, Master Yanwu directly took her into the ancient battlefield.
The voices of people and the cries of horses merged together, the sounds of fighting and wailing were mixed together, cold weapons collided, and flesh, blood and severed limbs flew everywhere.
That kind of scene was definitely a huge test and temper for He Tiantian, who grew up in a peaceful era.
Although she traveled through three novel worlds, except for the third world where she encountered an assassin and almost died, most of He Tiantian's experiences were relatively peaceful and safe.
Suddenly throwing her into a cruel and bloody battlefield, and letting her face the directness and roughness of the cold weapon era, He Tiantian's heart really suffered a huge challenge.
She was instinctively afraid, flinched, and even vomited, almost fainting.
But after staying on the battlefield for a long time, seeing too much life and death, and getting used to all kinds of bloody injuries, He Tiantian actually got used to it.
Even if the "Pao Ze" beside him was cut to pieces by the enemy's sword, He Tiantian could still draw the bow and arrow calmly and steadily, and hit the enemy's throat with one arrow.
He Tiantian's character has been tempered to the greatest extent. Not to mention the wind and rain, interference from unsportsmanlike opponents and other small problems that may be encountered in the modern arena. Even if the arena is on fire or a terrorist attack occurs, He Tiantian Sweetness is not affected at all.
In addition to the battlefield mode, He Tiantian also experienced assassin mode and horse riding mode.
... After staying in the learning space for thirty years, almost half of his life, He Tiantian finally mastered the magical skill of piercing the Yangtze with a hundred steps.
She pulled her soul out of the study space and returned to this body.
Before He Tiantian pulled away her soul, her body had already prepared the action of drawing the bow.
He Tiantian felt her arm being stretched, but the force was not very strong.
She estimated that this ordinary traditional bow only weighed about 22 pounds.
Converted to market jin, that is less than twenty jins.
In the study space, the bow He Tiantian practiced was a very traditional ancient large bow. First it was a half-stone bow, and then a one-stone bow (about 120 kilograms).
By the time she became a master archer, she could already use a hard bow weighing more than three hundred kilograms.
Compared with those real murder weapons, the traditional bow He Tiantian was holding in his hand was just like a toy.
However, toys are toys, but they are still bows and arrows that can be used normally. At most, they are less powerful.
He Tiantian has been with bows and arrows in the learning space for more than 30 years, and has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of bows and arrows.
She adjusted her arm strength appropriately according to the traditional bow in her hand.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew out.
Perhaps he was adapting to the bow and arrow, or perhaps he was coordinating his body, but He Tiantian's first arrow missed the target.
He Tiantian was not frustrated or angry, but calmly drew out another arrow.
Whoosh!
puff!
The tip of the arrow pierced the tree trunk accurately, but it was still some distance away from the target that He Tiantian had drawn in her heart.
He Tiantian was still very indifferent and continued to draw an arrow.
Whoosh!
bingo!
This was not He Tiantian's inner cry, but the voice of a middle-aged man standing by and watching at some unknown time.
Strangely enough, He Tiantian didn't make any marks on the trunk.
But the middle-aged man made a judgment based on the subtle changes in He Tiantian's facial expression: the third arrow should hit the position that the little girl had determined in her heart!
In fact, He Tiantian's expression was not very obvious, but the middle-aged man had such determination.
He admired He Tiantian's calmness very much.
The little girl looks fair and pretty, and she is not very old, at most seventeen or eighteen years old.
But she was very calm. During the whole archery process, she was neither fast nor slow, and her mood was not affected by the results in the slightest.
By the way, it is not uncommon to be good at archery.
However, it is rare for a girl who is not very young and does not look like a professional athlete to have such a stable mentality.
Quite the style of a general!
The middle-aged man couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.
"Coach Chen, am I right? Ever since this girl came here just now, I thought she was special!"
Standing next to Coach Chen is an old man in his sixties or seventies. Judging from his appearance and attire, he should be the janitor of the sports school.
He showed off his achievements with a proud look on his face, "You don't know, this girl went around our sports school in circles. Even at noon, she didn't even mention eating or resting, but she was shooting arrows at a big tree!"
"At the beginning, her posture when holding the bow was not right, and her stance was also exposed. It was not professional at all!"
"The arrows she shot flew everywhere, not even touching the edge of the tree trunk."
"However, this girl seems to be very spiritual. After practicing for a while, she found the feeling!"
Although the guard is not a sports professional, he doesn't know much about archery either.
However, he has been in the sports school all year round, has never eaten pork, and has never seen a pig running. He still knows some simple standards for archery.
For example, with a few glances at the basic movements of standing and archery, he can make a basic judgment.
It was precisely when he saw that He Tiantian didn't understand anything at all from the beginning, but was able to find the feeling in the shortest time, and the ejaculation became better and better, that the guard suddenly realized: Damn, this is a good seedling!
Without saying anything, he hurriedly ran to find Lao Chen, the coach of the archery team, and told him that there was a young archery genius at the door.
Coach Chen still didn’t believe it at first.
Although archery is a traditional skill in China, when the country settled down, except for some remote mountainous areas, the vast majority of people had little exposure to this activity.
If archery is regarded as a competitive sport, its attention among the public is far less than that of table tennis, volleyball and other sports.
Archery is more like a niche sport, and it requires a very large initial investment.
If nothing else, buying a professional competitive recurve bow is not within the reach of ordinary families.
As for the later practice, there were not many professional archery halls in China at this time, so training could only be carried out through government training centers such as sports schools.
There are few people practicing, and the scope of selection in sports schools is also very narrow. Therefore, archery has not been taken seriously in the country in a short period of time, and it has not been able to form a trend.
This creates a vicious cycle.
Seeing that the Asian Games is approaching and the players selected for the provincial team are not satisfactory, Coach Chen is worried.
At this moment, he suddenly heard that a young archery genius came to the door of the sports school to practice. Coach Chen only felt that it was fantasy.
However, when he came to the door and saw the girl practicing one arrow after another, it was mainly her steady mentality that made the old coach extremely happy.
If you are not good at technique, you can learn it, but if you are not talented enough and work hard enough, you can make it work. But this kind of stable and stable mentality is very rare.
If this girl Dan Chong has such a character, Coach Chen is willing to give her a chance.
"Little girl, what's your name? Do you want to come to a sports school and become an athlete?"
Coach Chen waited for He Tiantian to shoot all the arrows in the quiver, then slowly came closer and asked with a smile in his eyes.
Although he was asking a question, his tone was very sure.
Because He Tiantian's actions said it all: if she didn't want to be an athlete, she wouldn't go to the sports school to shoot arrows.
Don't call it a hobby. If you really just like it, you can't shoot arrows anywhere. Do you have to go out here under the bright sun at noon? !
"Well! I want to join the archery team, I want to participate in the Asian Games and the Olympics, and I want to win the gold medal!"
Seeing that Coach Chen was so straightforward, He Tiantian didn't do anything tactful or roundabout and just expressed her thoughts directly.
"Haha, you want to win the gold medal?!" Coach Chen laughed. He was not joking. He Tiantian was so brazen and ignorant.
But suddenly, in such a little girl, I saw the aura of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Although there is a little ignorance, or the frivolity of young people.
However, young people should have such ambitions.
Don’t talk about “friendship first, competition second” in competitions. Competition is competition. Which athlete trains hard and persists hard not to win gold medals and championships
As Coach Chen gets older, he dislikes those who are secretive and pretentious less and less. Instead, he appreciates He Tiantian's simplicity and directness more.
"Yes! I want to win the gold medal. Besides, I, I have a rural registered permanent residence. When I took the college entrance examination, I failed to get into university. I want to join the provincial team and have a good future!"
Seeing that Coach Chen was not a pedantic person, He Tiantian became more open-minded.
She simply revealed all her details.
In fact, this is not a "details", because they are all facts on the surface.
"Okay, okay, there's no problem with this!"
Coach Chen felt more and more that the little girl in front of him had a lot of energy. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
He didn't talk about the red tape and said directly: "Hukou, job, and even future prospects are all easy to solve, but you must have the ability to join the provincial team!"
"Little girl, are you new to archery?"
It was still a question said in a determined tone.
Coach Chen felt that he seemed to have seen through this little girl.
He Tiantian shook his head first, and then nodded sheepishly, "My grandpa lives on the side of the mountain and occasionally goes hunting in the mountains. He used to have a shotgun, but after he turned it in, he started using a bow and arrow again!"
"When I was a kid, I used to practice with my grandpa when I went to his house. I even shot a hare."
He Tiantian's words were half true and half false.
It is true that the original owner’s grandfather knew how to hunt, and it is also true that the original owner followed his grandfather to play in the mountains.
However, the original owner did not learn any archery.
However, grandpa has passed away, and grandma only remembers that her granddaughter followed her wife into the mountains.
No one knows whether he learned archery from the old man.
Therefore, no one would doubt anything He Tiantian said.
"... This is my first time using this kind of bow for competitions!"
He Tiantian continued, "It's different from the bow my grandpa made, so I'm not used to it. However, I can really shoot, and I'm willing to train well. Leader, please give me a chance!"
"I'm not a leader, haha, you kid is really smart!"
Suspected to have discovered a good prospect, Coach Chen was in a really good mood. He took He Tiantian directly to the archery team's practice ground and asked her to try shooting at the target paper.
When he just watched He Tiantian hit the tree trunk, Coach Chen was sure that He Tiantian hit the target he had set in his mind.
But for this kind of thing, it is most intuitive to use regular target paper.
Coach Chen briefly explained the rules to He Tiantian and then let her play freely.
He Tiantian stood at the prescribed position and visually measured the distance to the target paper, which was about seventy meters.
This should be a standard requirement in the arena.
He Tiantian picked up the traditional bow she bought, took out the arrows, and opened the bow—
Whoosh!
There are only seven rings.
He Tiantian looked calm, took aim, adjusted the angle slightly, and then continued shooting.
Nine rings!
Another arrow!
Hit the center of the target.
Coach Chen did not rush to express his position, but took out the recurve bow used for competition and said, "Try this bow!"
He Tiantian took the bow, pulled the string, and felt the strength, which was about 30 pounds.
He Tiantian adjusted her arm strength and began to adapt to the recurve bow according to Coach Chen's guidance.
Eight rings, nine rings, bullseye, bullseye.
Coach Chen finally showed a bright smile...
