Chapter 173: Victory in the first battle
The first game of the Chinese Dragon Team started as scheduled in the Tokyo Dome.
The home stadiums of each team in this WGP are basically constructed according to three ideas.
The first is the kind of teams with deep pockets that build their own venues from scratch, such as the American team. Their team funded a mini racing car in Tokyo Bay that included an undersea tunnel and a sea bridge. Of course, there are very few such teams. Apart from the United States, only Germany, Sweden, and Saudi Arabia do so.
The second type is a team whose specialty is cross-country racing and has little financial support. Their home games are in outdoor venues, as is the case in Jamaica and Tanzania, where Okitami is located.
The most common ones are those of China Zhanlong, which rents a large local stadium in Neon and uses a paved track as their home stadium during games. The main focus is economical and affordable.
Before taking the stage, Lin De and his teammates also met their opponents in the player tunnel, the members of the South African Rainbow Diamond Team, which is an all-black team.
The strength of the South African team is not strong among the 24 participating teams. In the exhibition match that day, the captain of the South African team has been hovering in the third tier.
Before the competition, Lin De also noticed the opponent's car. According to the information, their car was called Seven Color Star. As the name suggests, the color scheme of this car stood out in a flashy way.
“Hibro!” The captain of the South African team, a black man with a bright smile, greeted everyone in the Chinese team enthusiastically, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that were particularly dazzling against his skin color.
"Hello." Lin Tie responded politely.
“Let’s cheer for the next game!” The members of the South African team began to shake their shoulders slightly to the beat of the music in the venue, without any sense of nervousness before the start of the game.
Soon, the DJ at the scene began to call the participating team members to come out.
As the visiting team, the members of the South African team took the lead to walk out of the player tunnel, and the audience also applauded generously.
When it was the turn of the Chinese Dragon Team to take the stage, because of Lin Shuo, everyone also enjoyed half the treatment of the hosts when they came on the stage. The applause and cheers on the scene far exceeded the other team, especially with Lin Shuo as the captain. After the final appearance, cheers and screams resounded throughout the sky.
In the CCTV5 studio, the live broadcast of this game also started as scheduled.
"Welcome to the WGP World Mini Racing World Cup. I am the commentator Su Fan."
"I am the commentator Zhang Weiping." The commentator who is partnering with Su Fan today is not the familiar teacher Han Qiao , but replaced by a tall commentator. Teacher Zhang Weiping is familiar to parents who accompany their children to watch games in front of the TV. This man once created a legend of great achievements in the field of Chinese basketball, and now he has begun to try to step into the game. Enter new areas.
“Hey, we can see that the members of the Chinese Dragon Team have already entered the venue. Thanks to Lin Shu’s fame in Neon, the audience and friends are very enthusiastic. That's high." Su Fan looked at Lin Dai who was constantly waving to the audience around him and said with a smile.
"The performance of player Lin Shu in the game two days ago can be regarded as making a voice for China in the world. I hope they can continue their efforts today and get a good start for our Chinese team." Director Zhang said.
The track and rules of the game also appeared on the screen at this time, and Su Fan's voice also sounded: "This game uses a 5-on-5 relay race. We can see that the Chinese team's home track is divided into For five stages.”
“After the start, there is a track that mixes straight lines and curves and surrounds the venue for three weeks. This track leads to the center of the venue. It has three floors and consists of various types of tracks. It is a highly difficult technical uphill track composed of complex continuous curves. After finishing the three-story track, the third runner will face a large downhill straight line that leads directly to the outside of the venue. The entire course is three kilometers. The last two handover points of the game are set up outside the Dome. The players in the fourth team will face a road course composed of continuous high-speed curves and straight lines. The players in the fourth team will finish this track. After that, it will be handed over to the last competitor to complete the 2-kilometer straight sprint back to the Dome Stadium!”
“We can see that the personnel arrangements for both sides have also been released,” Director Zhang. Said, "The first leg of the Chinese team will be handed over to player Chen Hewang, the second leg will be to player Chen Xiaohu, the third leg will be to player Huo Yuesheng, and the fourth and fifth poles outside the venue will be handed over to players respectively. Looking at player Gao Xiaoman and the captain of the Chinese team, Lin Shu, it is not difficult for viewers who are familiar with them to find that every track they are responsible for can be said to be tailor-made for them. This is also the group stage of the World Cup, home games. The advantage of the team.”
“The game is about to start. We can see that player Chen Hewang and the first player of the South African team, Ricky Davis, are already standing at the starting point and starting. Get the car," Su Fan said.
Chen Hewang at the starting point looked at the track in front of him, took a deep breath, and whispered with firm eyes: "Yin Yang Scorpion, start!"
"Voiceprint verification passed, Chen Hewang, access is allowed."
As the countdown to the start of the game ended, Chen Hewang rushed out with the first player of the South African team.
“We can see that for this World Cup, player Chen Hewang designed a new car. The name of this car is Yin Yang Scorpion. Both the name and the Tai Chi logo on the car are very distinctive. Chinese characteristics, I just don’t know how this car is different from the Scorpio that he once had with the legendary dream racing name." Su Fan started to introduce Chen Hewang's new car. At this time, Huaxia was in front of the TV. The audience finally realized that Chen Hewang had changed his car.
The Yin-Yang Scorpion started very steadily. It did not show any eye-catching running style, nor did it gain a huge advantage immediately. The Yin-Yang Scorpion just expanded itself bit by bit in an orderly manner. After the Yin-Yang Demon Scorpion ran through the three curves, everyone suddenly realized that the other party's car seemed to have disappeared from the screen. Looking back, the Yin-Yang Demon Scorpion had unknowingly obtained it. Huge advantage.
However, compared with the gorgeous performance of Scorpio in the past, this car seems a bit too mediocre. Many Chinese children in front of the TV feel a bit boring. The Scorpio in the past was so handsome. It was sparkling and lightning all the way while changing color, but why did it feel mediocre after changing the car?
However, Dr. Chen on the coaching bench looked at the data transmitted back in real time by the Yin-Yang Scorpion on the computer and was very satisfied. Although the current Yin-Yang Scorpion is weaker than Scorpio in some aspects, Chen Hewang's ability to read the game is here. The weakening of the car has actually improved a lot. Chen Hewang has been fine-tuning the data of the Yin Yang Scorpion during the game. With the assistance of AI, the Yin Yang Scorpion has maintained an efficient dynamic balance at this time. .
On this track where straight lines and various complex curves coexist, although the Yin Yang Scorpion looks unremarkable, it has been maintaining stable acceleration, and this acceleration does not depend on the data. , it really can’t be expressed intuitively.
At this time, Director Zhang also commented: "I like Chen Hewang's running method, because this running method is very reasonable, unlike some players who just know how to rush. Then when he made a mistake, he was chased by others."
Chen Hewang and the Yin Yang Demon Scorpion finally passed the baton to Chen Xiaohu, who was holding the second leg.
Chen Xiaohu took the connecting buckle from Chen Hewang, locked the Jingtianhu and started it.
"Jingtianhu! Start!" "Voiceprint verification successful, Chen Xiaohu, access is allowed."
After passing the verification, Chen Xiaohu and Jingtianhu also started their performance.
Facing the complex and ever-changing continuous serpentine curves and uphill slopes, with the help of the motor with the highest torque among the Dragons and Jingtianhu’s unique retractable dragon head and phoenix tail, Jingtianhu was able to This daunting runway seemed to be at ease on the track. Under the control of the chip, the Jingtianhu, which could always ensure that the guide wheels of the leading and phoenix-tailed wheels were in perfect contact with each other on the curves, was on a smooth track on this curve, and its speed continued to increase. The golden tiger is like a golden flash on this track, shuttling between the complex tracks.
At this time, the second runner of the South African team had just set off, and when facing this complicated track, the second Seven-Colored Star was dwarfed, although this car was also biased. The high-torque configuration of the curves can only guarantee stable running of this section of the track without flying off the runway. It is impossible to accelerate and shuttle between these curves with ease like the Jingtianhu.
"The warm-up is almost over, Jingtianhu, relax the springs at the dragon head and phoenix tail, and then accelerate!" Chen Xiaohu, who was excited, also gave the order to the car. The Jingtianhu's speed on the track suddenly increased a lot, but , but it appears more agile when cornering, and the gap between the two teams continues to widen.
At this time, Lin Shui and the captain of the South African team, Hakeem Coffey, who had arrived at the last baton handover in advance, were watching the real-time feed back on the screen at the baton handover. live streaming.
"Your players are all so amazing." Kofi suddenly said to Lin Shu.
“Thank you.” Lin De said modestly, “Your team members are not bad either.”
“You don’t have to say that.” Kofi shook his head, “We There is a big gap between my team members and yours. This is an indisputable fact, because my team members didn’t have a decent car a few years ago. We could only play on the dilapidated fields and assemble them with the parts we picked up. Complete car.”
Lin Bo:? ? ?
By saying this, are you sure you are from South Africa, the only developed country in Africa? The conditions for the Jamaican team are not so exaggerated.
Seemingly seeing Lin Shu’s confused look, Kofi explained: “Because we are black people. A few years ago, South Africa was the most segregated country in the world. Although South Africa is developed, children We can also play with the most advanced mini racing cars, but that only belongs to those white children until our president becomes the president.”
“I originally thought that after racial segregation was broken, we would also. We can play advanced mini racing cars with those white children. However, this barrier has only been removed, but it has not disappeared. They were unwilling to play with us before, but now that segregation has been abolished, they are still unwilling. Playing with us, coupled with the retaliatory anti-oppression of some of my irrational compatriots, most of the white children in South Africa left South Africa with their families. Although we have advanced mini racing cars, we have also lost We have lost friends who should have been able to play with us, and South Africa’s mini racing technology has also stagnated. This Seven-Color Star is already two years old.”
Lin De listened to Kofi’s story. , I didn’t know what to say for a while.
On the contrary, it was Kofi who suddenly showed a cheerful smile after saying this: "Sorry, I said so much suddenly. In short, we came to this arena just to take this opportunity to prove that no matter the skin color, as long as we are a mini racing car If you try your best, you can shine on the field."
......
At this time, Chen Xiaohu has passed the baton to Huo Yuesheng. As soon as the jump started, the phantom blood bats started sprinting like a group of wild horses running wild.
"Phantom Blood Bat, start the magic bat running method!" Huo Yuesheng shouted, and the phantom blood bat on the straight downhill began to change, lowering the car body, covering the wheel hub, and the oblique upward airflow began to generate, intensifying The downhill force caused the Phantom Blood Bat to stick to the downhill runway, its speed increased rapidly, and the time difference between the Chinese team and the South African team continued to widen.
"Xiaoman, you and Xiaobo just hold back the last two sticks and run. Our current advantage can ensure victory. Save some face for the other party and pay attention to the international impact." Lin Bo's headset I received advice from my coach. After all, according to Dr. Chen's estimation, if the current trend continues, the Huaxia team is expected to win by more than 4 minutes in the end, which is not in line with the Chinese people's habit of staying on top of things.
Gao Xiaoman, who was at the handover of the fourth baton, looked at the little black girl who was having fun with him and nodded, "Okay, I have no objection."
However, when Lin Dai saw Ke After Fei's contagious smile, she rejected this suggestion: "No, coach, they are all real mini racers, and the best respect for them is to go all out."
" Okay, then you can make your own decision." Dr. Chen nodded, giving Lin Shu enough respect.
And this also meant that when Gao Xiaoman handed the buckle to Lin Shu, the gap between the South African team and the Chinese team had already reached 3 minutes.
"Lightspeed Battle Dragon, start!"
"Voiceprint verification passed, Lin Shu, access is allowed."
Lightspeed Battle Dragon's motor began to run at full speed, and he and Lin Shu rushed towards the Tokyo Dome without looking back.
“Lightspeed War Dragon, activate the light speed propulsion mode!” In the last 800 meters, Lin Bo calmly activated the light speed war dragon’s propulsion mode and steadily won his team’s first victory.
And just as Coach Chen expected, Kofi’s Seven-Colored Star crossed the finish line four minutes later.
However, Kofi did not show much frustration on his face. After completing the game, Kofi immediately sent congratulations and a big hug to Lin.
"Beautiful race, congratulations, my friend." Coffey said, "The only regret is that this track cannot allow us to perform at our full strength. Next time at our home court, we will let you see the real South African running style. "
"I'm looking forward to it." Lin Ye responded to his new friend with a smile.
While the Zhanlong team won their first victory, the match in Group A on the other side also ended.
The Italian team swept the top five in the team points competition, completely defeating another European team, the Portuguese team. The strange thing is that all the cars of the Portuguese team failed to complete the distance.
