King Of Sports 92 Asian Games: Archery Qualifiers

The South Korean team had a total score of 2056 points securing a seeding for the knock-out brackets.

Also locking in a place for the next round was the Singapore team, although their overall strength was a bit weaker, but with the outstanding performance of their ace Ang Han Teng who shot 686 points, their total number of points reached 2020.

For the Chinese team, the first to debut was Ning Ze.

He was a veteran archer, who once scored in the top eight of the individual compet.i.tion. He was the most famous archer in China except for Tang Yan.

As a veteran team member and captain, his mentality was quite stable. The final result of his 72 arrows was 675 points. His performance also temporarily ranked 12th amongst everyone who had gone up so far, so it was a decent start for the Chinese team.

At the end of Ning Ze's game, after a round of separation, Tang Yan was up next.

His appearance quickly attracted the attention of the audience and the national teams.

The Youth Olympics had allowed him to introduce himself to the archery community.

However, his incredible journey was still accompanied by doubt.

"I heard that Tang Yan reported to the National Archery Team with only one month left before the Asian Games. As the hope of the Chinese archery team, you would expect he would use this precious time after the Youth Olympic Games to stabilize and improve his strength. However, he instead turned to boxing, which is completely unheard of and naturally everyone is curious to see the effect this has had on his performance." Before the game, CCTV commentator Zhang Meng a.n.a.lyzed.

The Asian Games was an international event. In addition to domestic broadcast stations, there were quite a lot of TV and online media presence from foreign countries. Tang Yan's debut not only attracted the attention of CCTV commentators, but foreign media was also quick to focus on him.

"This is the No. 1 newcomer to the Chinese archery team not only that, he is also a newcomer to the Chinese boxing team. Yes folks, he will be partic.i.p.ating in both boxing and archery events. No one knows where his confidence and in fact that of his coaches come from, but we will certainly be here to watch and see how this unusual situation unfolds." Anurak Saae-Lim, a reporter from BBTV Channel 7 a.n.a.lyzed.

"The Republic of Korea once again locks in as the No.1 of the team and individual compet.i.tions in advance, this is a good start to the journey of bringing another medal home. Up next to shoot is the Chinese all-star rookie that has been causing waves in the sport after playing a vital role in South Korea's Youth Olympics defeat. He's walking up now, so we'll soon see whether he can replicate that same form or will crumble after stepping up to the big leagues." said Park Moon-sung the commentator for KBS Sports.

Among the praise and doubts, Tang Yan walked to the arena with the recurve bow.

After arriving at the stakes, Tang Yan leaned forward and made preparations to shoot.

The other archers started their preparations and Tang Yan only looked at the target in the distance.

After gaining 80% of Li Guang's ability, and a month of special training, his archery level had reached a distinct threshold. To be straightforward, within 70 meters, he not only could control the landing point of the arrow but also the speed and frequency of his arrows.

"Begin!" The referee announced the start of the match after seeing the archers ready.

Whizz!

After the referee announced the start, the first wave of arrows were fired.

The level of the Asian Games was obviously stronger than that of the Youth Olympics. Scores basically stabilized at 8 points or higher.

Among them, Eiji Sato from j.a.pan and Danilo Ameliya from the Philippines both shot a 10-pointer, demonstrating their level as top scorers.

However, compared to these archers, Tang Yan's actions made others feel confused and puzzled.

Because Tang Yan was still looking at the target at this time, his hand in the arrow pot but he still hadn't pulled out an arrow.

What was wrong?

Everyone on the scene was puzzled, only the Chinese team coach Tian Zhenzhe understood and held a smile.

At this time, some archers had already shot the second arrow. The second arrow of Danilo Ameliya was still in the 10th ring, showing his outstanding skill.

Tang Yan still didn't move, his whole person seemed to be fixed there.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Ameliya took out his third arrow and was about to shoot.

When, Tang Yan finally moved.

His left hand always held the recurve bow steadily and his right hand was like a machine equipped with a high-speed motor, constantly pulling the arrow out of the arrow pot and firing.

Tw.a.n.g! Tw.a.n.g! Tw.a.n.g!...

Whoosh...

Boom...Boom...Boom!

All that followed was a series of sounds and m.u.f.fled thuds as the arrows. .h.i.t the targets.

In just 30 seconds, he directly shot all six arrows for this round.

What was even more shocking was that...

These 6 arrows, without exception, all hit the center of the target!

This was 60 points!

"This..." Almost all the commentators had their mouths wide open at this time in shock.

This was the first time that they had seen someone shoot all six arrows in just half a minute. 

An average of 5 seconds per arrow...

This rate of fire was too dazzling.

They all rubbed their eyes, but when they saw Tang Yan bringing the recurve bow to rest, they determined that this was not an illusion.

Only Qiu Tian, Ning Ze and the rest of the Chinese Team were calm, after seeing this multiple times during training although they were still in awe of how he did it, they became somewhat numb to it.
