Almighty Athlete Chapter 39: Promotion and doubt

The sun is getting higher and the temperature in Melbourne is rapidly rising. If you stay outside for too long at this time, you will inevitably sweat.

Federer finished his morning training. When he arrived in the room, he took off his sweat-soaked clothes, and just about to walk to the bathroom, he heard the voice of the speaker from the TV.

"Twenty times, 20 consecutive challenges to Eagle Eye success! Zhang Guan has once again made history. Is he going to bring the record-breaking posture of track and field to tennis?" The comments made Federer particularly harsh.

"Twenty consecutive challenges to Eagle Eye success? Are you kidding me?" Federer stopped in front of the bathroom door and turned to walk to the TV.

"The game of Zhang Guan against Haas, the second set, the score is 33, it seems to be the balance of power, the first set turned out to be Zhang Guan64 winning. Although this guy has a bit of luck, but his strength is still very good Yes, the first set was actually broken by Zhang Guan. It seems that Zhang Guan should not be underestimated. Maybe he really has a chance to enter the final and meet me."

Federer couldn't help but sat down and started watching the game between Zhang Guan and Haas.

"How can this ball hit such a limit? Sure enough, Zhang Guan is out of bounds, do you want to challenge the Hawkeye? The challenge is successful! Just pressed the sideline a little bit, this Haas is really enough to back, this ball was successfully challenged by Zhang Guan Well, it seems that this guy has been in bad luck in those years, and he hasn't dispersed yet. The twenty-first challenge is successful? Twenty-one consecutive successes! This is impossible!" Federer exclaimed suddenly, he still He felt that the narrator was joking, so he immediately went to the computer and looked for the battle report so far.

In the "Challenge Success, Challenge Success, Challenge Success" report, the previous Zhang Guan challenge successes were all expressed normally, and each subsequent Zhang Guan success challenge was highlighted in bold and bold. Mark out.

"17, 18, 19, 20! Counting that time just now, it was really 21 times! What a hell! Being able to challenge 21 times in a row is certainly not a coincidence, nor is it blind, it is Zhang Guan Really see the ball's landing point! Is his vision so good that it can be the same as a computer? Is it April Fool's Day today?"

"The ratings of Zhang Guan and Haas have reached a new high? Are we close to last year’s semi-finals? This is the fourth round! The twenty-second challenge success? The twenty-two consecutive challenge success? I Oh my god! Even the TV audience in Melbourne is waiting for the Zhang Guan to challenge for twenty-three consecutive times!" Australian Open Committee Chairman Terry hung up the phone and then quickly set the TV in the office Switched to this game.

"Let Zhang Guan take part in the Australian Open, haha, I am a genius! This will be the most watched Australian Open in history! I really look forward to Zhang Guan rushing to the finals and confronting Federer. Time will surely create a grand slam viewing miracle!"Telly was looking forward to a better future. On the screen, Zhang Guan had already started the 23rd challenge.

"Twenty-third time! It must be successful!" Tally began to pray silently.

Central Power, the sports channel guide room.

"Najie 12 lost to No. 6 seed Hingis. This time our gold flower in the women's singles project was completely wiped out. You can let some people in the stage come first, leave a few people, and report it. A doubles match is enough." The director sighed and then suddenly remembered Zhang Guan.

"I don’t know what happened to Zhang Guan. His opponent in the fourth round is the German Golden Boy Haas. What does it look like now? Does Zhang Guan hope to advance to the quarterfinals?" Say: "Cut the signal from Vodafone Stadium and let me see it."

In a moment, the broadcast signal from Vodafone Stadium cut to the display screen in front of the director. The director put the headphones on and looked at the score on the screen.

"Zhang Guan is leading! The score of this set has reached 53. If Zhang Guan wins the next round, you can win this set. The first set is also a Zhang Guan victory, so Zhang Guan is very close to 20 "The director thought silently.

"Challenge! Challenge! Challenge! Challenge!" There was a strong cry from the audience on the headset.

"Challenge? Is it a challenge to Eagle Eye? Isn't it a challenge to Eagle Eye? Why is this atmosphere so tense and it feels like kick kicking." The director was a little puzzled, and at this time, Zhang Guan on the screen had already challenged Succeeded.

A more violent cheering sounded on the scene, the audience boiled, and the commentator's tone was also very excited.

"Twenty-fourth consecutive challenge to Hawkeye's success? My goodness!" The director stayed on the spot. The next moment, he yanked the headphones violently, his expression even more distorted.

"Why don't you let me broadcast this kind of game! Today is the weekend, and if it can be broadcast, the ratings will definitely go up! No, I have to go to the director, even if it is recorded and broadcast, I have to put this event The game will be broadcast!"

Even on the weekend, Director Liu of the Network Management Center did not rest at home today. He came to his office. One is because there are conditions here to see the Australian Open game, and the other is because he is waiting for a very important call.

"20! Zhang Guan won again! If the next set wins again, it will enter the quarter-finals of the Australian Open! Twenty-five consecutive challenges to Hawkeye's success, I think this Hawkeye system should be changed The name is called Zhang Guan eye system!" Director Liu said to himself.

At this moment, Director Liu’s phone rang and he answered it immediately.

"I’m Xiao Liu! The honorary chairman, his old man, will help us speak? Hello next year to the people from the Radio and Television Bureau! Great, talking to his old man will definitely lift the ban on Zhang Guan! Okay, you Rest assured, I must be prepared here. Once I receive the notification, I promise to raise the promotion efforts!"

Director Liu put down the phone and let out a breath: "This time his old man is willing to speak, which is great! I wait until tomorrow when the people of the whole country know that Zhang Guan has entered the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. !"

In the hotel room, Coach Joyce is also watching the live broadcast of this game.

"That may not be possible, maybe I can challenge it 100%!" This sentence of Zhang Guan is constantly circling around the seaside of Coach Joyce's brain.

"100% challenge success, this is not a joke, Zhang Guan can really do this! Is this guy The Phenomenon? To accurately determine the tennis landing point in the game, but with good eyesight But it’s not enough, the image is presented on the retina, and then it is transmitted to the brain through the nerves, and the brain makes analysis and judgment, so it must have excellent brain power. This requires not only the best vision, but also the strongest Brain! It seems that our king of track and field is not only fast enough, but also faster than others!"

The third set and the fourth set of both sides. At this time, Haas once again ran out of challenge opportunities.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew over the net, and Haas struggled to run but still didn't receive the ball. Then the referee directly judged the Zhang Guan score.

"This ball is out of bounds! Is the referee blind? If he still has a chance to challenge, he will definitely tell these referees with facts, who is right!" Haas shook his head in exasperation, he hoped very much Protested to the referee and expressed his dissatisfaction, but he also knew that that might only have the opposite effect.

“Oops, the last thing I want to see seems to have happened. The success of Zhang Guan’s continuous challenge also puts a lot of pressure on the referee. Some **** are between out of bounds and in bounds. When the referee is unable to make a clear judgment, they will directly make a penalty in favor of Zhang Guan. They are also worried about the success of the Zhang Guan challenge and cause their misjudgment!" Haas can feel that now not only the score is behind, even the overall The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to oneself.

Every successful challenge of a player is a misjudgment for the referee. As a referee, of course, I don’t want to have many misjudgments. Now that the Zhang Guan has been successfully challenged more than twenty times in succession, it has also given the referee tremendous pressure, and the audience on the scene is also afraid of the chaos of the world. Every challenge of the Zhang Guan is followed by coaxing, which makes the referee more The penalty became cautious.

The speed of a Zhang Guan shot is originally a relatively fast one, especially when it is served, the ball with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, during the landing and bouncing, the contact with the ground is only instantaneous, so many times, the Division The line referee can't make a 100% accurate judgment. Some ball referees even think that the possibility of going out of bounds is greater, but they are worried about their misjudgment. The referee often makes some penalties in favor of Zhang Guan.

At this time, Haas felt very tired. Although the game came to the third set, there was no too long number, but Haas still felt very tired. This tiredness is not the cause of physical fatigue, but caused by psychological stress.

The audience is looking forward to the success of the next challenge of Zhang Guan. Today’s Vodafone Stadium has become the home of Zhang Guan; the line referee is more biased in the judgment because of the misjudgment that he has experienced. For Zhang Guan; more importantly, Zhang Guan can still succeed every challenge!

Afterwards, every time Zhang Guan said that he wanted to challenge, Haas had a feeling of shock. Whether the referee awarded Zhang Guan for direct scoring or a penalty kick-off, Haas had an effort to waste. Frustration.

Has very much hopes to be able to play a few beautiful holding balls, show his indomitable spirit and boost morale, but Zhang Guan does not give Haas this opportunity, Zhang Guan's ball landing point selection is all very extreme, An unsuccessful attitude of Cheng Ren, basically ended the ball in three or five shots.

"I can be knocked down, but I can't be knocked down!" Haas didn't give up, even if he trailed by 02 in the total score, even in the third set of coaches of both sides, he was broken by Zhang Guan. , But he still insists.

In the end, the score of 64 in the third set also fully proved Haas’s intention to stick to the end. If it was not unfortunate that Zhang Guan got a break in one game, Haas might be able to drag the game into the tie-break. .

"The game is over! Congratulations to Zhang Guan, victory over Haas, and successful promotion to the quarterfinals! At the same time, we also congratulate Zhang Guan for creating a history, the first time to participate in professional tennis, entered the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam. The commentator paused, and then said: "Perhaps before the game, many people speculated that Zhang Guan might beat Haas to enter the quarterfinals, but I think everyone thinks this is a very difficult game. The two sides may It will be very long-lasting. But no one will want to think that Zhang Guan will win the game in this special way. The entire game was successfully challenged thirty-two times, and it was successfully succeeded thirty-two times in a row! I didn’t expect Zhang Guan to have such an accurate judgment. I think that in the future competition, no matter which player meets Zhang Guan, it will be a bit troublesome. At least in terms of challenging Eagle Eye, Zhang Guan cannot be won.”

Thirty-two consecutive challenges to success have brought not only widespread attention but also a lot of doubts. Anything that makes people feel surprised will lead to doubts, not to mention that the Zhang Guan has successfully challenged Eagle Eye for thirty-two consecutive times. In everyone's view, it is completely a fantasy.

These doubts are also varied. Some say that the Australian Open’s Hawkeye system has loopholes, some say that there is a problem with the operation of the Hawkeye system, and even more conspiracy theorists say that the Australian Open’s Main Committee is to improve ratings and Media attention, "intentional help" Zhang Guan promotion.

In the face of doubts, the main committee of the Australian Open first came forward to clarify.

“There is absolutely no problem with our operation on the Hawkeye system.” The spokesperson continued: “Although the Hawkeye system does require an operator to operate, the operator only needs to press a few buttons during operation. The entire 3d simulation screen is still generated by the computer system, it is impossible for the operator to change the 3d simulation screen generated by the computer system. And we also checked each challenge of Zhang Guan after the game, the result is exactly the same as in the game Of."

"The computer programs of the Hawkeye system are all designed. We just bought this system, but we didn’t buy the patent right of this system, so we don’t have the program key and the relevant code, and we can’t determine the The program is modified, so-called'intentional help Zhang Guan promotion' is obviously impossible."

"I don't want to answer this question about whether there is a loophole in the Eagle Eye system. Because the Australian Open Organizing Committee is not the person who invented this system." The spokesperson looked at the manuscript and then said: "We The Hawkeye System is provided by Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd., not just us, the Hawkeye System of other Grand Slam events and some tennis high-level events is also provided by Hawkeye System Innovation Co., Ltd. Eagle Eye System Innovation Co., Ltd. has the patent right to use this system and is also a qualified company designated by the International Tennis Federation."

A spokesperson for the Australian Open successfully dumped the "pot" to Eagle Eye System Innovation Ltd, a supplier of Eagle Eye Systems.

However, just over an hour later, a statement appeared on the official website of Eagle Eye System Innovation Co., Ltd. The general content of the statement is that there is no loophole in the company's eagle eye system. At the same time, there are several attachments behind the statement, including the patent certificate of the eagle eye system, the scientific and technological innovation award certificate issued by the Royal Palace Test Association, and the excellence of the American Emmy Science and technology contribution awards, qualification certificates issued by the International Tennis Federation, and audit test reports of many tennis players who are responsible for reviewing this technology. Obviously Eagle Eye System Innovation Co., Ltd. is very urgent to prove that Eagle Eye System has no problems.

General Manager Allen put down the phone in the conference room of Eagle Eye System Innovation Co., Ltd.

"I just spoke with Professor Paul Hawkins, the inventor of the Hawkeye system, and Professor Hawkins said that our Hawkeye system captures the ball trajectory with a high-speed camera, including the trajectory before landing and the trajectory after landing. Calculate the falling point of the ball through the formula, and then generate a three-dimensional image. In fact, the formula for calculating the falling point of the ball is not complicated. I think you have already learned the calculation of the parabola in middle school!"

Allen took a sip of coffee and then said: "So according to this theory, if you are a mathematician or a physicist, even if you don’t have to look at it, you can calculate it by simply relying on a few parabolic numbers. The place of tennis. Perhaps Zhang Guan is the method used?"

"It’s calculated? I don’t believe it! Does he have to bring the calculator and measuring tools to the court?" Someone immediately shook his head.

"I also don't believe it!" Allen sighed: "But the film of the rain man, you should know it! Like Raymond in the rain man, it is memorable and can quickly count the drops. The speed of toothpicks and mental arithmetic on the ground is not lost to the calculator"

"But that's just a movie!" the man retorted just now.

"But the rain man also has a prototype!"

"But the public and the media will definitely not accept this explanation!"

Allen waved his hand~IndoMTL.com~ signaled everyone to be quiet, and at the same time said: "The public and the media really will not accept this ridiculous explanation, so we need Zhang Guan to prove that he has this kind of judgment. The ability to place a tennis ball!"

"Let Zhang Guan prove it yourself? Should he be challenged by Haas again?"

"Of course not so much trouble, we can get a public test in Melbourne and invite media reporters and officials of the International Tennis Federation to take part. Find a serving machine, serve the sideline and put Zhang Guan in front of everyone , To determine whether the ball is out of bounds." Allen said.

"What if Zhang Guan is not willing to come?"

"Pay money to let him come! Immediately contact the agent of Zhang Guan and ask him how much he needs to play!" Allen said firmly: "Everyone, the Eagle Eye system is our company's only product, so anyway , We must prove to the world that our products are absolutely the safest and most reliable!" (Unfinished.)
