Chapter 452 The Anticipated Showdown

“Use different baits and grasp different moments to raise the rod.” Xu Bai finally summed it up in one sentence.

Chen Ming seemed to understand, as he had only used bamboo to make fishing rods and dug earthworms to fish in the village pond when he was a child. Fishing was not as complicated as it is now.

But he fully demonstrated the level of a commentator. Although he did not quite understand these techniques, he understood Xu Bai's techniques from a novice's perspective, allowing the audience to learn something.

“Thank you Mr. Xu for sharing. Let us continue to focus on the event.”

After chatting about carp and bream fishing techniques and precautions, the two continued to follow the competition, commenting on the exciting moments and real-time competition conditions.

Chen Yuan, Li Shiyi and other media outlets were also filming or broadcasting live.

The advantage of having a large screen providing real-time game updates and commentary is that they don't need to talk throughout the live broadcast.

Just say a few words occasionally, it's relatively easy.

The competition went smoothly. Time passed by little by little, and the second double points game gradually came to an end. The two commentators, Xu Bai and Chen Ming, became increasingly excited.

Looking forward to the buzzer beater and the game-winning shot.

"beep."

The final whistle sounded on time, the second game came to an end, and the referee team quickly checked the results.

Although the double points race not only requires determining the final score, but also requires weighing to determine the final weight score, it is slightly more troublesome than a simple final score race.

However, the referee team for the semi-finals is completely one-on-one, and the real-time game situation is continuously updated during the competition, so what really needs to be verified and confirmed are the near-buzzer beaters and buzzer-beaters.

It only took a few minutes to determine the double points result.

Then there are two events and three categories of combined rankings.

"Master Wang Heng is amazing. With the advantage of double first place in points, he completed the reversal against the head coach. After two games, he temporarily took the first place."

“Although head coach Deng lost the first place, his performance was still steady and he firmly held the second place.”

"The performance of these two is really wonderful. If they continue to play like today, the final championship match will most likely be a showdown between the two of them again."

“Look forward to their matchup.”

When the real-time results after the two games came out, Xu Bai and Chen Ming talked about the rankings, and the live broadcast rooms became excited.

Wang Heng and Deng Gang seemed destined to compete against each other since the final of the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Tournament. They ranked in the top two in the tournament qualifying and elimination rounds, and they were still in the top two in today's semi-finals, taking turns leading.

It seems that the championship showdown is really going to be staged again.

Will it be the defending champion Wang Heng who will be crowned again, or will head coach Deng seek revenge and prove his championship strength?
"I think Wang Heng can be crowned again. After all, Chen Yuan Fishing Ground is his home ground, so he has the home advantage."

"It was OK if you said we had the home advantage last time, but there are no spectators this time."

"There are only event staff at the venue, so there is almost no home advantage for the athletes."

“The home court has little impact.”

“Both sides have the potential to win.”

“I look forward to seeing the two of them face off again.”

Chen Yuan watched the discussion in the live broadcast room, a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at Wang Heng and Deng Gang on the field.

If the champion and runner-up of the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Tournament were to compete in the championship match again in the tournament, it would indeed be a very good gimmick and would surely attract many spectators.

And since the first round of the tournament, the two have indeed demonstrated such strength and have been ranked in the top two.

Both their abilities and the audience's expectations seemed to indicate that the final showdown in the tournament would require both of them.

"Should we ensure that both of them make it to the final?" Chen Yuan thought to himself.

Judging from yesterday's qualifying elimination rounds, Wang Heng's performance was very stable, so Chen Yuan had no intention of using the remote control again and let Wang Heng perform on his own in the championship.

Even if we don't win the championship, the final result shouldn't be too bad.

It’s just like the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Competition. Even if Chen Yuan doesn’t shake the remote control, Wang Heng still has the possibility of making a decisive kill and winning the championship, and the probability is not small.

Using the remote control only increases this probability to 100%.

Moreover, at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, he can use a remote control to support the bottom, but the Masters Tournament is not held at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, so Wang Heng will have to rely on himself.

"Let them have their free rein."

In the end, Chen Yuan decided not to use the remote control to help Wang Heng in the tournament.

Although the audience is particularly looking forward to it now, whether the Deng-Wang duel can appear on the championship stage depends on whether they can do it themselves.

Let’s take a look at Wang Heng’s true strength.

Otherwise, he would perform very well in the first-class competition, but he would not be able to get a good ranking on the stage of the Masters Competition without the help of the remote control. The huge gap would not be good for him or even for Chen Yuan Fishing Ground.

"In the third event, the 5.4-meter hand-pole mixed fish weight competition, all the fish caught in the pond are valid fish. It is the last game of the rematch. I hope all the athletes can go all out and not regret the result."

The time for rest and adjustment passed quickly, the chief referee gave a reminder and then blew the whistle to start the game.

"This is the last game of the semi-finals. Does Teacher Xu want to remind the athletes?"

In the commentary room, Chen Ming was asking Xu Bai.

"Actually, there's nothing to remind you of. The last game is a mixed game, so all fish will be affected. There's no need to consider interference. Just increase the frequency to the limit."

Xu Bai smiled and said, "Besides, the contestants who entered the semi-finals are all top fishing masters, so there is no need to worry about adjustments."

This is true.

The thirty-two contestants in the semi-finals are all top fishing masters from all over the country. They not only have excellent fishing skills but also strong adjustment abilities.

They know how to play.

Time passed slowly, and the intense competition proceeded in an orderly manner, with a referee team making one-on-one decisions and real-time accurate updates on the competition situation.

The ranking changes in the third game are very frequent, and the total points ranking of the four events in the three games also changes from time to time, but the frequency is much lower than that of a single game.

The most intense competition is around the eighth place.

That is the promotion zone. Everyone wants to break through the door of the eighth place, which makes the eighth place change most frequently, making the competition more exciting and intense.

"Miss Li."

Chen Yuan was watching the event while broadcasting live. When it reached half past eleven, he waved and shouted to Li Shiyi.

"what happened?"

Li Shiyi was watching the live broadcast account of the General Association. When she saw Chen Yuan waving at her, she walked over and asked.

"Please help me watch the live broadcast of this account for a while. I'm going to prepare lunch. The game will be over soon and I won't be here yet. Please help me to go offline so that I can appear on camera." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Shiyi smiled and nodded.

The championship is about to end today, with the semi-finals in the morning and the finals in the afternoon. The schedule is not super tight, but it is not very ample either.

So lunch was arranged in a casual restaurant next to the stadium, and Chen Yuan had no plans to use the remote control, so he didn't need to pay special attention to the event.

In addition, there are enough referee staff, so he doesn't need to watch the game all the time.

Therefore, he can fully arrange the lunch arrangements for the event team, including meals for the clients in Xiaotang, without his father and the others having to be distracted here.

"Clap."

After walking around the stadium and jumping onto the tricycle, Chen Yuan first took out his cigarette case and held a cigarette in his mouth, then lit it and took a puff of it, then pinched the cigarette in one hand and turned the electric switch with the other hand and headed straight for Laotang. When he got downstairs, Chen Yuan threw away the cigarette butt and went straight up to the sixth floor.

The dishes had already been placed at the window. Although not all of them were ready, they were served out one after another. Tang Ying and her friends were packing their lunch boxes in the back.

"Mom, is Xiaotang's lunch box ready?" Chen Yuan walked to the window and asked Tang Ying.

"Packing." Tang Ying said without raising his head.

"What about the competition team?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"Your aunt and the others are working on it. It should be ready soon." Tang Ying said as he put the packed lunch boxes into a big bag.

The set meal booked by the event team was better than the boxed lunches, so Lin Cuiju and Xu Juan were in charge of cooking at the Chinese restaurant.

Moreover, according to the event schedule, we try not to delay the event process, so the packages are prepared relatively early. It is better to prepare in advance than to affect the event.

So it should be packed soon.

"Then I'll go to the Chinese restaurant first."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan pulled the trailer next to him and headed towards the Chinese restaurant next door.

"Auntie, is the meal package for the event group ready?" When Chen Yuan arrived at the Chinese restaurant, he pulled the trailer and went straight inside, shouting as he walked.

“Just right.”

Lin Cuiju's voice came from inside, and then they were seen coming out carrying bags. Dozens of set meals and hundreds of lunch boxes were carefully stacked on the trailer.

"Be careful, there is soup in it, don't spill it." Lin Cuiju reminded.

"It's okay. The lunch box is covered, so not a bit will spill." Chen Yuan took a look and smiled. He called Lin Cuiju and the others and dragged the set meal back to the lunch box window.

Just then, Tang Ying and her colleagues had prepared lunch boxes for Xiaotang’s customers.

"Are you delivering it to Xiaotang?" Tang Ying asked Chen Yuan after packing the bag.

"I'll deliver it all at once. You don't have to worry about Xiaotang." Chen Yuan nodded, picked up the packing tape and put it on the trailer, then went downstairs.

After carefully placing the meal and lunch boxes into the truck bed, Chen Yuan was about to put the trailer back when he saw Chen Nan from Laotang jogging over.

"Just give it to me." Chen Nan said as he ran. Laotang also needed to prepare lunch boxes, so it was just right for Chen Nan to take them up.

"Row."

Chen Yuan smiled and left the trailer to Chen Nan, then jumped on the tricycle, turned the ignition switch, and quickly headed towards the stadium.

"This semi-final was really exciting. After three games and four events, head coach Deng unexpectedly reversed the situation and won the first place in the semi-final."

"Although Mr. Deng Gang ranked first in total points, he was tied with Mr. Wang Heng. It was just that according to the rules of the semi-finals, Mr. Deng Gang performed better in the third game, so he ranked first."

“But this does not mean that Mr. Deng Gang has widened the gap with Mr. Wang Heng.”

"From the preliminary elimination round, head coach Deng won first place, maintained his advantage in the first game of the semi-finals, Wang Heng made a comeback in the second game, and tied after three games and four events. The game between these two was really tense."

“Looking forward to their game this afternoon.”

“At the same time, we also hope that Hua Xin, Yi Zhe, Liu Lin, Wang Bin, Zhu Qing, Zuo Xianyi and other players who have advanced to the quarterfinals can perform better.”

“Congratulations to the other contestants as well. I hope they will keep up the good work and achieve better results in subsequent competitions.”

As soon as Chen Yuan rode his tricycle downhill to the small pond, he heard the voices of Chen Ming and Xu Bai congratulating him on his achievement. The three semi-finals had just ended and the results were updated in real time.

"We lost the third game again."

Hearing the final results, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile.

But it's not a big problem. After three games, Wang Heng and Deng Gang had the same total points. It's just that according to the rules, Wang Heng is temporarily ranked second, but there is actually no gap.

There is still a great chance for the afternoon event. At least Wang Heng's result in the tournament will not be too bad. Even if the remote control is not shaken, it is still within the acceptable range.

Zuo Xian did care.

This time we made it to the top eight, which is an improvement compared to the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Tournament, but I don’t know how much improvement we can make.

And there is Liu Lin.

We failed to make it to the top eight in the Carp Fishing Elite Competition, but made a comeback in the championship.

But this is normal. There is actually not much difference between the top 32 players. If we narrow the scope a little bit, the fishing skills of the top 16 players in the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Tournament are almost at the same level.

It's no surprise who gets what ranking.

What's more, Liu Lin is also a very good fishing expert. Liu Songsong, who was ranked ahead of him last time, learned fishing skills from him, just like the relationship between Huangmao and Wang Heng.

It is not surprising that Wang Heng can achieve the same result as Huangmao.

"Oh, Boss Chen is delivering the meal himself today."

"It's an honor for such a big boss to personally deliver food to us."

"I thought that after Mr. Chen became rich, he had forgotten the days of delivering meals and looked down on retail investors like us."

When they arrived at Xiaotang, Chen Yuan squeezed the brakes and the tricycle stopped steadily next to the building. Then he jumped off the tricycle and went to the back of the truck to take out the lunch box.

Seeing this, the anglers in Xiaotang laughed and joked.

"Haha, customers are God. Even if I forget anyone else, I can never forget God. Come on, bosses, dinner is ready."

Chen Yuan carried a big bag and smiled as he invited everyone to eat.

"Just leave it there, Boss Chen. We can take it ourselves. Go and call the tournament team."

The fishing friends smiled and waved their hands, indicating to Chen Yuan that there was no need to distribute the lunch boxes, they knew how to take them themselves. The competition in Datang was over, so it was important to go and take care of the competition.

"How come you are so sensible?"

The customers of Chen Yuan's fishing ground are really a group of cute and sensible gods of wealth. Chen Yuan likes this kind of people.

Without any formalities, he placed the lunch box at the edge of the pond, jumped on his tricycle and rode to the casual restaurant on the Datang side, then invited everyone to have their meal.

The referees, staff members, and several leaders of the association came one after another, carrying set meals and soup boxes and heading into the casual restaurant.

The athletes packed up their fishing gear and came over one after another.

Chatting in twos and threes.

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu, for finally making it to the quarterfinals this time."

"Teacher Liu is good at mixed fishing. The last time he fished for crucian carp, it was a single-fish competition, not Teacher Liu's strongest point. It is normal for him to advance to the top eight this time."

"President Zuo also made it to the quarterfinals, congratulations."

"It was just luck that I won because of the last fish, otherwise I might not even be in the top 8, let alone the top 16."

Or congratulate each other or encourage each other.

But when someone is happy, someone else is bound to sigh.

The little fish king smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I am a runner-up again this time. I can only take a medal and a certificate back. I will be laughed at by my husband again."

"At least you have a medal and certificate, but I was just a runner-up. I didn't even get a consolation prize, and I was laughed at even more miserably." Xu Bai next to him smiled even more bitterly.
