King Of Sports 28 Quarter-Finals

The Zhejiang Women's team performed decently and managed to enter the knockout rounds after ranking 15th.

Both the men's and women's team managed to reach the knockout round. This was the first time in the history of the Zhejiang Province. Song Feng was in a great mood. After Tang Yan and Dong Jie told him about their worries, he agreed without much thought.

As the champions.h.i.+p entered the knockout stage, the audience's interest also rose, and the attendance rate increased greatly.

The next morning was the quarter finals.

After the qualifying rounds yesterday, the top 16 teams were announced. With the outstanding performance of Qiu Tian and Han Tianfu, the Shanghai Team maintained their first place without suspense, the Guangdong Province also retained second place because of their excellent average strength.

After that, in third place was the Macao team. Archery and equestrianism were deeply in docurated into the Macao culture and as the general wealth of civilians increased the popularity of the sport increased tremendously, allowing them to occupy the top three.

The Zhejiang Team led by Tang Yan ranked fourth.

In the knockout stage, the compet.i.tion was conducted in the order of 1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th and so on.

The winner entered the next round and it continued in that fas.h.i.+on.

As they ranked fourth, the Zhejiang Provinces first round opponent was the 13th ranked Gansu Provincial team.

Song Feng and Zhang Feng looked at each other in disappointment they hadn't expected to encounter each other in the first round of the knockout stages.

In addition to Li Haoze, there were two veteran archers from the Gansu province, but their performance in this compet.i.tion so far had been average. Things weren't looking good for the Gansu Province.

In the knockout round, there were 3 rounds with 8 arrows per round each archer would shoot a round each, the two sides would alternately shoot rounds.

Dong Jie and Tang Yu were in excellent condition. Even in the face of the weaker Gansu province, they didn't hold back. The two archers scored 73 and 75 points respectively.

And Pan Yu, after 'encouragement' from Song Feng yesterday, seemed to have returned to form, and shot 75 points.

The three's score totaled 223 points and successfully eliminated the Gansu Province and advanced to the second round of the knockouts.

This seemed to be expected. Zhang Feng, in his judge's seat, didn't seem to mind. Instead, it was Song Feng, who comforted him with a few words.

At the end of the first round of the knockout round, most of the top ten teams had successfully eliminated their opponents. Only the fifth-ranked Jin Province performed abnormally and lost to the 12th ranked Hu Jian province causing an upset.

According to the rules, after the end of the round, the winner between the 1st and 16th will face the winner between the 8th and 9th, and the winner between the 2nd and 15th will face the winner between 5th and 12th etc.

So as the Zhejiang Province ranked fourth, their second round of opponents just happened to be the Hu Jian Province.

Tang Yan and Dong Jie were in excellent condition, and Pan Yu also performed normally. They eventually eliminated Hu Jian, with a score of 223 to 216, and won the contest between the two black horses.

After defeating the Hu Jian's province, Tang Yan and team were into the semi-finals.

After the men's team's event was over, the next group was the women's team.

Because the semi-finals and finals were in the afternoon, most of the players did not go back, but stayed to watch the women's.

Compared with male archers, women's archery had a slower rate of fire, but this didn't affect their appreciation. The women's unique curvaceous beauty and skill was more than enough to make the audience excited.

Compared with the men's team, the Zhejiang women's team didn't have great luck being eliminated in the first round.

They encountered the Shanghai women's team and were cleanly eliminated 226 to 201.

The well-known female archer Zhang Wei's shot a super-score of 77 points. The Shanghai teams dominance in women's archery was far superior to other provinces.

As the women's team came back to camp Tang Yan walked up to the ladies to comfort them.

"Tang Yan, make sure you show them what's what in the afternoon!" Lin Biao's said eyes slightly reddish, being easily eliminated by the Shanghai team, their hearts were naturally unreconciled.

After Lin Biao's words were finished, Pan Yu made a fist. Tang Yan was now the representative of the team taking the position that once belonged to him.

"Yes, just because of their arrogant att.i.tude yesterday, we will definitely give them something to consider." Tang Yan said in a firm tone.

....

In the afternoon, the semi-finals and finals of the men's and women's groups would be held. The attention on the tournament also rose. The audience at the scene had risen from around 5,000 people to well over 7,000 people, alongside the audience, there was also a lot of media presence on the sidelines.

This included not only the Provincial TV stations, but also the CCTV Sports channel, which meant that the semi-finals and finals would be broadcast live nationwide.

The provincial teams looked around as scene became packed and so. Some arches couldn't hide the tension on their faces, while others were eager to show off their strength at such an opportunity.

"Since we have already managed to make it this far, let's try to go further!" After the women's team was eliminated, Song Feng's attention was all on the men's team.

As he finished his 'speech' the whistle sounded on the side of the field, and the referee signaled for them to enter the arena.

Seeing the archers entering, there was a burst of excited cheering at the scene.

The cheers of more than 7,000 people shook the sky, Tang Yan could clearly feel his heartbeat begin to accelerate, this was the atmosphere brought by the large stage, his adrenaline began to kick in.

The four final teams lined up together, on the left side of the Zhejiang Team was the Shanghai Team and to the right side was the Guangdong Team.

"Hey, rookie, you were lucky yesterday. If you run into us today, you won't have any such luck." Walking forward, Han Tianfu shouted at Tang Yan.

Pan Yu heard the voice of Han Tianfu, turned his head to glance over, snorted before ignoring the pair.

Tang Yan was his movements at the corner of his eye and shook his head.

Tang Yan seeing Pan Yu didn't pay attention to Han Tianfu, did the same.

Han Tianfu, on the other hand looked at Tang Yan then at Pan Yu, his mouth showing a hint of an imperceptible smile.
