The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 453 The Charm of Sports Events

"Boss Chen, I have to say a few words to you. You have to give me a consolation prize so that I can report back." Little Fish King patted Chen Yuan and said.

"What's the point of a consolation prize? If you want to win, just win the real thing."

Chen Yuan handed over the meal and soup box, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if we don't win any prizes in the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Competition and the Championship. There will be club competitions later. We must believe in the strength of our club."

"We are counting on this competition to have some meat and soup with Brother Wang Heng." Xu Bai said with a smile.

Judging from the results of the Fishing Tackle Brand Super League, they are the strongest team in the Chen Club and definitely have the strength to compete for the championship. Even if they are worse, they should still be able to win a prize.

Among the three major competitions, he, Huangmao, and Dongfang Qingyang can only rely on this event.

"And what about me? I'm not bad either. I've made it into the top 20 this time. If I work hard, maybe I can win the cash prize next time." The little fish king pointed at himself.

He did improve in the tournament, and although he didn’t make the quarterfinals or the round of 16, he was only a few places away from the round of 16.

Perhaps if we can get one more winner in any of the three events, we can bridge this gap.

"You didn't bring much." Xu Bai glanced at the little fish king.

"It's not many, but it's fine. Without my performance, Brother Wang Heng can't lead the three of you by himself." The Little Fish King smiled, not paying attention to Xu Bai's eyes.

"If you say so, even without our results, you would also be at the bottom." Xu Bai smiled.

"So, neither one can be missing."

Chen Yuan picked up his meal and soup box and interrupted with a smile, then nodded towards the casual restaurant and invited everyone to come in and eat.

After dinner and a cigarette, the top eight contestants lay down on the sofa for a while, resting and adjusting their condition, recovering their strength to prepare for the final in the afternoon.

The rest time always passes quickly, and it seems that the time that belongs to us is always so short. Shortly after one o'clock, the top eight players are ready to go to the competition venue.

Chen Ming, Xu Bai, and Xiao Yuwang followed to the commentary room, and the rest of the media live broadcast staff went to their posts one after another to prepare for pre-match work.

The chief referee came to the center of the stage and announced the rules with a microphone.

"There are three rounds in the afternoon finals, namely eight to four, four to two, and the final championship match."

"The first round of eight to four adopts a one-on-one PK system. The top four players in the semi-finals will be the first to draw the competition items, including the 3.6-meter hand-held rod fishing crucian carp number competition, the 4.5-meter hand-held rod fishing target fish number and weight double points competition, the 5.4-meter hand-held rod fishing mixed fish weight competition, and the 5.4-meter hand-held rod fishing five large mixed fish weight competition."

"The top four players will each draw a tournament, and the bottom four players will draw a corresponding tournament. They will compete against each other in pairs for 60 minutes. The winner will advance to the semi-finals, and the loser will be eliminated. The fifth to eighth places will be determined by the first person to catch a fish in free fishing."

"Note, if the points are the same in a double points race, the total weight will be used to determine the result."

The rules of the first round are very simple. The four events are played separately, and the winner is determined by one game. The winner advances, and the four losers are equivalent to entering overtime. The winner is the one who catches the fish first, and the ranking of the top four is determined. The overtime is a free game, and all fish are valid.

"In the second round, the top two players in the semi-finals will draw the match groups, and the bottom two players will then draw to determine the duel groups."

"The competition time is still 60 minutes. Each winning group will advance to the final. The losers will have 15 minutes of extra time. The third place will be determined by the number of free fish caught."

The rules of the second round are also very simple, almost the same as the first round, except that the overtime for the third place battle is different, with fifteen minutes of fishing time.

"The third round of championship competition will consist of four games with five events."

"The first 3.6-meter hand-held rod fishing crucian carp target fish number competition has no time limit. The winner is the first one to catch ten target fish, and the score will be counted as one point."

This rule is quite interesting. It is not a time-limited competition, but a competition of fishing frequency. Whoever completes the set goal first wins. It is conceivable that the athletes will use all their skills in the competition, and the competition will definitely be exciting and intense.

"The second 5-meter 4-meter mixed fish weight competition will last for 30 minutes. The final score will be calculated based on the weight of the fish caught. The winner will receive one point."

"The third 5-meter 4-handed fishing competition is limited to five large mixed fish. Please note that the time limit for this five-fish competition is thirty minutes. If you don't catch five fish within the competition time, the weight score will be determined by the number of fish caught, and the winner will be awarded one point."

"The fourth event has two events, a 4.5-meter hand-held rod fishing target fish tail number and weight double points competition, the competition time is 30 minutes, tail number and weight are scored separately, the winner will get one point, if the tail number is the same, overtime will be used to determine the tail number competition points."

"There are five points in four games and five events. The first team to get three points wins. If the score in the first three games is 3-0, the championship will end and the fourth game will be automatically cancelled."

The overall rules are very simple, with four games and five events, and a best-of-three format.

The reason why the double points race is placed last is that with two points in one game, the winner can probably get both points at the same time, and the probability of winning in advance is higher, which will affect the suspense of the game and reduce the excitement of the event.

The first three games are all individual events, and unless you win all three, you are destined to play a fourth decider.

Ensure the excitement and suspense of the event as much as possible.

"Next, please have the top four players draw lots to determine the competition items."

After announcing the rules, the chief referee invited Deng Gang, Wang Heng and others to come on stage to draw lots. Different numbers represent different competition events.

"Number three, five-meter four mixed fish weight competition." Deng Gang aimed the number and competition event at each camera.

"Number one, 3.6 meters, target fish for crucian carp." Wang Heng followed and made the same move.

"Number two, a 4.5-meter fish tail weight double points competition."

"Number 4 draw, five large mixed fish weighing 5 meters and four hooks."

Huaxin and Yizhe then drew lots.

Then Liu Lin, Wang Bin, Zhu Qing and Zuo Xianwei came on stage to draw lots, and those with the same number competed against each other in pairs.

"Athletes please go to the competition positions and prepare. The referee team will enter the venue for inspection."

After the preliminary preparations were completed, the chief referee looked at the time and blew the starting whistle at exactly 1:30.

"The final system this time is very interesting. The first round is a four-match free-for-all, which integrates the essence of the tournament into one round. It feels like each matchup is different and exciting."

“The top eight really embodied the essence of the tournament, with each group being the protagonist.”

"This is such an exciting first round. I look forward to the subsequent matches."

In the commentary room, Xiao Yuwang, Xu Bai and Chen Ming cooperated with each other and quickly mobilized the atmosphere of the event, and even the live broadcast room became quite lively.

There are four different competitions, but this competition system makes the competition more exciting.

"Sure enough, the 5.4-meter mixed fish weight competition comes faster. There are no interference restrictions, so all fish caught are valid. Just fish for the whole game."

The first person to catch a fish was Coach Deng, or in other words, the first person to catch a valid fish, because there are no interference items in the mixed fish weight competition, and as long as the fish is caught, it is valid.

And you don’t need to deliberately catch big ones like you do with five big mixed fish.

As for double points and crucian carp fishing, there are strong interferences.

But for the top eight contestants, after going through the baptism of preliminaries and semi-finals, they have already adapted to any interference, no matter how strong it is, and their fishing frequency is not low.

"As expected of the top eight, the gaps among the four groups were not that big, even Wang Heng and head coach Deng were unable to pull away from their opponents."

"The gap between the two groups behind is even smaller, and they are even taking turns leading. The winner can only be determined until the very end."

The competition was very intense. Although Deng Gang maintained a very high frequency, his opponent Zhu Qing also maintained a very high frequency. Almost every time, he could catch fish right after Deng Gang, and the total weight difference was very small. Once someone's frequency was interrupted or the efficiency was reduced, there was a possibility of being left behind or overtaken. Such a tense competition was particularly exciting.

Not just this group.

Wang Heng's lead is also small, just one pole's difference. Once the rhythm changes, the frequency starts to decrease, or there are interferences, there is a risk of being overtaken.

The same was true for the other two groups.

This kind of tense competition is the most exciting and intense.

The more exciting the game is, the less you notice the passage of time. It’s not like those games that are so boring that they make you want to sleep, where you always feel like time is very long.

The first game of the finals was coming to an end unknowingly, and the eight finalists all pushed their speed and efficiency to the limit.

"beep."

Finally, the chief referee blew the final whistle.

"Swoosh~"

The eight finalists all lifted their rods at the last minute. There was the sound of air and the wonderful sound of wind. The camera quickly captured the scene of the fish at the last minute, which was very touching.

"Head Coach Deng and Zhu Qing actually caught the last-minute fish at the same time. Given the difference in weight between the two, this last-minute fish will determine the winner."

"Wang Heng also caught a buzzer-beater fish, and it was an effective fish. It was a pity for his opponent Wang Bin, who didn't catch a buzzer-beater fish. Even though Wang Heng's fish escaped, he successfully advanced."

"It's a pity for Master Yizhe. Not only did he not catch the last buzzer, but Liu Lin caught the last buzzer fish, which was an effective target fish. The last fish was killed. It depends on whether he can hold on to the weight."

“Although Ambassador Huaxin didn’t catch any last-minute fish, President Zuo didn’t catch any last-minute fish either. There was no last-minute killer catch, so Master Huaxin qualified with a slight weight advantage.”

In the commentary room, Xiao Yuwang and the others were very excited.

Of the four groups competing, the results of two groups were determined as soon as the whistle sounded. Wang Heng and Hua Xin successfully advanced, while Wang Bin and Zuo Xianwei were both very close to making a comeback and scoring the winning goal, but ultimately lost regretfully.

What attracts the most attention, of course, are the last two groups of buzzer-beating fish. Who will win and who will advance?

"The size of the fish caught by head coach Deng and Zhu Qing is not much different. It is difficult to distinguish the weight with the naked eye. We can't guess and can only wait for the referee team to determine the final score."

"Liu Lin's last-minute fish is of good size, estimated to be around two kilograms. Master Yizhe may be killed."

Xiao Yuwang and his friends were commenting on the other two matches.

The difference in situations between Deng Gang and Zhu Qing was very small, so it was difficult for them to predict who would win or lose, but judging from the size of Liu Lin's last-minute fish that came out of the water, it was definitely not small.

Yizhexian is currently only leading by more than 1,800 grams. If Liu Lin's weight is really around 2,000, he will be defeated at the last minute.

And this is indeed the case.

As the referee team checked the results, Liu Lin's last-minute fish weighed 1913 grams. In the end, in the double points competition, he defeated Yizhe at the last minute with an advantage of one fish and more than grams in weight, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu Lin for his buzzer-beating shot."

"This matchup was really exciting. Liu Lin's advantage in winning the game was very small."

"This is the charm of fishing competitions. Even though I only had a slight advantage in the end, I still managed to win in the end."

This is true.

The buzzer-beating shot is one of the charms of sports events, and the regrettable defeat of Mr. Yizhe is also a kind of charm of sports events.

“Finally, let’s focus on the achievements of Coach Deng and Master Zhu Qing.”

As the weight of Deng Gang and Zhu Qing's last-minute fish was determined, their final scores were also finalized. When they saw the scores, Xiao Yuwang and the others exclaimed.

"Oh my god, there's only a ten-gram difference."

“It was so thrilling.”

"This gap is even more exciting than Liu Lin's buzzer-beating shot."

Little Fish King, Xu Bai and Chen Ming exclaimed in amazement.

Ten grams, what a tiny difference. This amount of weight can even be ignored in many cases, but in a competition, it becomes the difference between victory and defeat.

I have to congratulate Deng Gang.

I also feel sorry for Zhu Qing, and this regret is even stronger than Yizhe.

Originally, he could have made a comeback with the advantage of mixed fishing like Liu Lin and accomplished the goal that he failed to achieve in the Crucian Carp Fishing Elite Competition, but in the end he still regretfully stopped in the top four.

The charm of this kind of sports event is that it is a visual feast for the audience. There are buzzer-beating shots and regrettable defeats, which make for a wonderful and exciting event.

It makes people feel excited and stimulating.

Cheer for the winners and sigh for the losers.

"Please ask Deng Gang, Wang Heng and Liu Linhuaxin to leave the field and change fishing gear. Please ask Yi Zhe, Zhu Qing, Wang Bin and Zuo Xian to prepare."

After the results of the first round were completely determined, the chief referee continued to preside over the competition process.

The top four contestants will have time to rest, adjust and change fishing gear and equipment, while the four losers will start free fishing to determine the final ranking of fifth to eighth.

"beep."

When the four were ready, the chief referee blew the whistle, and the four cast their rods quickly as if every second counted.

There is no time limit or target fish limit in free fishing. Whoever catches a fish first wins. Therefore, time is very precious for the four contestants, so they cast their rods quickly and swiftly.

"歘~"

The four players had a very good rhythm. Less than half a minute after casting the rod into the water, someone raised the rod, followed by the wonderful sound of wind.

The camera quickly captured the scene and saw Yizhe was the first to catch a fish. Although it was only a small crucian carp, there were no restrictions on free fishing, so when Yizhe entered the fishing area, he was sure to get fifth place in the championship.

"Swoosh."

Almost at the same time, Zuo Xian'an and the others also raised their fishing rods.

“Such a high frequency?”

"They lifted their rods at the same time. It's hard to tell the order with the naked eye. You have to watch the replay."

On the big screen of the event, the scene of Zuo Xian'an and others raising their rods appeared instantly. The order was determined through slow-motion replay: Zhu Qing raised the rod first, Zuo Xian'an second, and Wang Bin last.

Now it depends on whether you can catch fish. If the fish escapes, you will be at the bottom, and you will lose even if you raise the rod first.
