Chapter 399: Making up for Regrets

The Olympic Games schedule is coming to an end and will end on October 1, but the Chinese team has not yet won a gold medal in the major event of track and field.

China has the potential to win gold in the women's 20-kilometer race walk, with Liu Hongyu and Wang Liping competing.

Liu Hongyu is the champion of the 1999 World Cup and World Championships. He is very strong and is the guarantee of winning the gold medal this time.

Wang Liping passed the domestic trials, won three domestic championships, and finally got on the last train.

On the afternoon of the 27th, after the men's basketball team finished training, Zhao Dong met with the coaching staff and Liu Yumin, who had been accompanying the training.

"Liu Yuren, Director Jiang, we will train in the morning tomorrow. How about we relax in the afternoon?" he suggested.

"Zhao Dong, are you tired?" Liu Yumin asked nervously.

This has entered the quarter-finals, and Zhao Dong must not have any problems here.

If something goes wrong with Zhao Dong, she won't even have the confidence to make it through the quarterfinals, let alone the gold medal.

Zhao Dong nodded quickly and said: "It is indeed a bit tiring. The schedule of the Olympic Games is more intensive than the NBA games."

"Then rest. Don't practice tomorrow morning. Let's just warm up before tomorrow night's game." Liu Yumin said quickly.

Jiang Xinquan also agreed and had no objection.

With such an intensive schedule, the training is just adaptive training, not very intense, just a warm-up before the game.

Only Dayao and the others felt a little baffled. Brother Dong, what’s going on? You are an iron man and you are actually saying you are tired?

At this time, Zhao Dong suggested again: "Why don't we go cheer for other projects tomorrow?"

"Okay, Brother Dong, which project do you want to go to?" Da Zhi asked quickly.

"Of course it's the 20-kilometer women's race. Now we have a chance to win gold in this event. Remember to bring the national flag, don't forget." Zhao Dong said.

The next morning, Zhao Dong still took his teammates for half an hour of recovery training and half an hour of shooting training, and then rushed to the track and field.

Liu Yumin was worried and went with two staff members, carrying several large bags of food and drinks. She also arranged the tickets.

The logistics service was as meticulous as possible, and Zhao Dong and the others were treated like masters.

The Chinese men's basketball team, which attracted a lot of attention, appeared at the stadium and immediately attracted a large number of media and fans to watch.

Under Liu Yumin's arrangement, Zhao Dong and his party came to the athletes' lounge.

"Oh, Director Liu, why are you here?"

When Liu Yumin took the lead in, Zhang Qiang, the leader of the walking team, was very surprised when he saw her coming.

He is very familiar with Liu Yumin. The walking team often trains at Dongcheng Base. In addition to being the director of the Basketball Management Center, Liu Yumin is also the director of Dongcheng Base. He has won the trust of the sports leaders and has great power and high status. Now the male The basketball team was heading for the gold medal, but he didn't expect Liu Yumin to show up here.

"Lao Zhang, come and cheer for you. Look, our men's basketball team is here."

Liu Yumin smiled and shook hands with Zhang Qiang. With a finger behind him, Zhao Dong and a large group of tall men came in through the door.

"oops!"

Zhang Qiang was even more surprised. The men's basketball team was so hot right now that they actually came together to cheer for his unpopular walking event. This made him so excited that he was speechless.

"Hello, Leader Zhang. Hello..."

Zhao Dong and Zhang Qiang said hello and extended their hands to Liu Hongyu and Wang Liping who were equally excited behind them.

After greeting everyone and a few words of encouragement from Zhao Dong and others, Liu Yumin left with their group.

They can't stay here for long because the game is about to start and it will affect the game.

When Zhao Dong and others were seated in the stands, the game was about to start and the athletes were already standing on the track.

"The red flag is dancing!"

He shouted and took out the five-star red flag he had prepared from his backpack.

Because the Chinese team's track and field strength is too weak, the Olympic Games are almost over, and they have not won the gold medal, so there are not many Chinese people coming to watch the competition. Even if there are people, they don't bring national flags, so now except for their dozen national flags, there are no more There is no five-star red flag, which is why Wang Liping walked alone around the field for a week after winning the championship in the previous generation, and there was no red flag sent down.

But their dozen or so five-star red flags were enough. As the Chinese men's basketball team that has won the most championships, when their five-star red flags were waved, a large number of reporters at the scene ran over and clicked their hands. lens.

The game started at 11:30, and after running around the field, we left the field.

After the game started, the athletes gradually formed several groups.

These groups are all formed based on their respective strengths.

According to the pre-match arrangement, Liu Hongyu was hidden in the middle of the first group, neither leading nor falling behind, with Wang Liping behind her.

By the eighth kilometer, Liu Hongyu rushed to the first position.

However, just when she reached first place, the referee gave her a red card.

Although a little confused, double champion Liu Hongyu was very confident in her own strength. She did not slow down and maintained the first position.

At the 14th kilometer, she got her second red card.

This red card hit her a bit. For safety, she had to slow down and temporarily retreated to third position.

After running two kilometers, Liu Hongyu used his strength again and rushed to the first position.

However, today was the day of the red card. The third red card appeared. She was sent off directly and quit the race in tears. At this time, she was less than 4 kilometers away from the finish line.

"It's over!"

Seeing Liu Hongyu being sent off, Wang Liping behind was a little confused.

In this Olympics, her goal is to be in the top three. Winning a medal is a victory. Now her most powerful teammate has been sent off, which is a big blow to her.

But the red card did not end there. At 16 kilometers, like Liu Hongyu, Italian athlete Pieroni of the first group also received his third red card.

But this athlete was very individual. After making an angry expression, she refused to leave the field and kept walking.

As the athletes of the first group were sent off one after another, Wang Liping, who had always been secretive, gradually attracted people's attention.

At 16 kilometers, when Liu Hongyu was sent off, she was still in fifth place. As the two people in front of her were sent off one after another, she rose to third.

In front of her are Italian athletes Belluni and Australia's Sevelli.

At this time, she already had a red card. According to her top three goals, she adjusted her tactics and began to slow down.

The purpose of this tactical adjustment is not to get any more red cards, but to keep the third place and get a bronze medal.

As a result, the distance between her and the two people in front began to widen, and the possibility of winning the championship was gone.

"It's over, it's over!"

At the stadium, Zhang Qiang, the leader of the race walking team, was stunned and lost his mind after receiving the news that Liu Hongyu had been sent off.

"Lao Zhang, I have other projects, you can keep an eye on them here."

Liu Chong, the leader of the track and field team, left immediately after learning the news.

However, surprises are everywhere, and there were quite a few red cards today.

At 18 kilometers, only two kilometers away from the finish line, Italy's Belluni was sent off.

"Am I second? Silver medal?"

Wang Liping in the back was excited, hold on, hold on, you must not be punished.

"My silver medal is secure!"

At this time, she still adopted the original following tactics, without thinking about the championship, and steadily followed the first place Seville.

If this continues, the situation will become extremely clear, because the end point can be seen, and Seville's gold medal is waving to her.

"Team Zhang, Belluni in front was sent off." At the stadium, a coach of the walking team shouted excitedly to Zhang Qiang.

"knew."

Zhang Qiang reluctantly replied, because in terms of gold medals, a hundred silver medals are not as good as one gold medal, and he was still in a very bad mood.

The game continued. As we walked, we arrived at the entrance of the stadium. Seville's gold medal flew over, and Wang Liping's silver medal also waved to her.

But today is the day of the red card, and something unexpected happened again.

Only two hundred meters away from the finish line and only one hundred meters away from the stadium entrance, Seville was sent off.

But for Wang Liping, this was a huge surprise.

"She was sent off. Am I not number one? Is the gold medal mine?" Wang Liping couldn't believe it when she saw Seville in front of her being sent off.

At this time, she suddenly became excited. She was afraid that the athletes behind her would surpass her at the end, so she immediately looked back.

"call!"

She breathed a sigh of relief. The people behind her were still far behind her, and she felt relieved.

At this time, she walked into the stadium with perfect steps and her head held high, only 100 meters away from the finish line.

She felt that the last 100 meters was the most perfect walking distance in her entire career. Looking at the getting closer and closer to the end point, she felt that she was heading towards a new life. After she reached the end point, her life would usher in a new era. Start.

"Come on, come on, I said Wang Liping is pretty good and might win the gold medal, am I right?" Zhao Dong laughed and waved the red flag in his hand.

Wang Liping passed the finish line in a super excited mood. When she saw the dozens of waving five-star red flags in the stands, she ran straight over there.

"Wang Liping, take it and run around."

Zhao Dong leaned down from the stands and hugged Wang Liping, then handed the national flag to her.

In his previous life, he was known as the loneliest Olympic champion. His biggest regret in life was that he did not put on the five-star red flag after winning the championship.

But this time, she excitedly put on the bright five-star red flag and started circling the field after winning the championship.

This moment can be regarded as making up for her regrets in the previous life.

That night, the Chinese team defeated the Spanish team and reached the semi-finals.

The schedule is intensive, and the two semi-finals will be held on the next day, the night of the 29th.

In the end, China and the United States each defeated their opponents and reached the finals.

On the 30th night, 5,678 players were selected for the men’s basketball team.

On October 1st, the last day of the Olympic Games, in the morning, the 34 players were selected. In the afternoon, the men's basketball finals that attracted the world's attention began.

Today is National Day, and countless Chinese people are sitting in front of the TV to watch this game.

The Chinese men's basketball team has long shouted the slogan of winning the gold medal, and has won all the way to the final. All the Chinese people are looking forward to this final gold medal.

The game started at two o'clock, and before one o'clock, the venue was already packed.

A large number of athletes from the Chinese delegation came to the scene, as well as a large number of Chinese people who traveled across the ocean to cheer for the men's basketball team. Countless five-star red flags were also flown at the scene, dyeing the entire arena bright red.

Chinese team starting lineup: Yao Min, Da Zhi, Li Nan, Hu Weidong, Zhao Dong.

US team starting lineup: Mourning, Garnett, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Kidd.

In the ABC commentary box, Hubie Brown looked at the starting lineup of the US team and said: "On the whole, from the inside to the outside, we suffer too much from the height. So coach Tomjanovich simply played a three-back tactic. This is giving up. In order to defend the flying dragon, do you want to fight attack with attack?"

Cook said helplessly: "With our lineup, no matter who we send on the outside, they can't guard Feilong. This is not a solution."

Hubby Brown shook his head and said with a smile: "But Feilong's strongest point is his offense. Even the Lakers' extreme defense can't guard against him. It's not a good idea to play against him."

Cook smiled bitterly and said: "Hubby, according to what you said, we can't win at all. His dislocation advantage on the outside is too great. Double teams can't limit him. There is also Yao on the inside who can't be restricted either."

Hubby Brown added: "Also on the defensive end, if the Chinese team plays a two-one-two zone defense with Feilong guarding the middle, then his help defense will cause a lot of trouble to our offense."

Cook sighed: "Whether it is the speed of assisting defense or the area of ​​assisting defense, he has surpassed Garnett. This is a huge problem."

At two o'clock, the game starts.

"champion!"

When he came on the field, Zhao Dong gathered around with all his teammates and coaches, put their hands together, and shouted out their goals.

"champion!"

There was a huge roar in the arena, the voice of nearly a thousand Chinese people.

Dayao and Garnett still jumped the ball. This time Dayao won, Zhao Dong got the ball, and the Chinese team immediately advanced forward as a whole.

In front of Zhao Dong, Ray Allen blocked his way.

Ray Allen is 196 centimeters tall, and now he is 205 pounds, 93 kilograms. He is more than 20 kilograms behind Zhao Dong. He is good at defense, can make sudden shots, has very good athletic qualities and is fast. He often gets to the basket and explodes in NBA games. buckle.

As a rookie of the same year as Zhao Dong, Ray Allen seems a little unknown under the light of Zhao Dong, Iverson, and Kobe.

But his strength has risen very quickly. In the 1999/00 season, he averaged 22.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and his three-point shooting rate reached 42.3%. He is a star whose strength is greater than his fame.

He stood in front of Zhao Dong and did not take the risk of stealing. His feet moved quickly with Zhao Dong's movement, giving Zhao Dong no chance to rush forward or a chance to forcefully attack him head-on.

However, Zhao Dong was still not something he could stop.

Bang, with a crotch dribble, Zhao Dong suddenly changed direction in front of his body and wanted to rush past Ray Allen's left side.

Ray Allen moved quickly to retreat, but at this moment, Zhao Dong was unlucky and broke through from the other side with great ease.

At this time, the other four players were all separated, and Zhao Dong reached the top of the arc and went straight to the basket, forcing Garnett and Mourning to leave Yao and Da Zhi behind and return to defend the basket.

But Zhao Dong's speed was too fast. After catching up with Ray Allen, he immediately accelerated and accelerated again. After crossing the free throw line, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it high, as if holding a tomahawk, flying towards the basket.

At this time, Garnett and Mourning were returning to defense from the left and right wings. They had not yet established their defensive positions. However, they were half a beat too slow to close the door and had to jump at the same time to block the shot from the side.

"Bang!"

The three of them collided instantly. Zhao Dong used the huge impact and knocked the two away. While Garnett and Mourning fell outwards, he approached the basket, swung his arm and smashed the basket with his tomahawk arm. buckle.

"boom!"

With the violent sound of the basket exploding, all the Chinese people at the scene instantly raised their arms and cheered.

"A show of force, this is a show of force. Zhao Dong dunked over Garnett and Mourning. He took the lead and gave the US team a show of force!"

In the CCTV commentary box, Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

"Too strong! Both Garnett and Mourning are the top defensive insiders in the NBA, and Zhao Dong actually dunked them both. Oh, the referee pointed at Garnett and gave him a thug foul. Zhao Dong also We need to add a free throw." Xu Jicheng said excitedly.

On the court, Zhao Dong shouted at Garnett and Mourning who were getting up: "My defeated generals, stop resisting needlessly and surrender!"

"You bastard!" Garnett and Mourning cursed at the same time.

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Dong, Dayao and others laughed.

Zhao Dongjia made a free throw and the US team attacked.

Zhao Dong did not guard the opponent's point guard like he did in the first group match, and went directly to the backcourt, leaving Kidd to Hu Weidong.

In this game, the US team deployed a three-back lineup, with strong offensive firepower on both wings. Zhao Dong sat in the middle, playing a two-one-two zone defense.

Kidd came to the top of the arc, and then Ray Allen got rid of Li Nan and started cutting in from the left wing.

What Kidd is best at is catching his teammates' vacancies. At this moment, he suddenly pushed to the right, shook Hu Weidong with a fake move, and passed the ball to the left wing.

Ray Allen caught the ball and drove into the paint.

But at this time, Zhao Dong had retreated quickly and blocked in front of Ray Allen in time. The latter made an emergency stop and shot a jump shot. The former caught up to block the shot, and the ball flew past Zhao Dong's fingertips.

"boom!"

Affected by Zhao Dong's block, Ray Allen was forced to increase his shot. The ball missed, hit the basket and rebounded, and was grabbed by Zhao Dong who turned around.
