rebirth of change

Chapter [-] Making History

Qiuen’s small suburban building has three floors and covers an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. There are two big locust trees planted in the small yard at the entrance. The environment is quite quiet. Next door is a suburban park. , planted a lot of small trees, judging from the newness and oldness of the walkway, it should have just been leveled out. Qiu En explained that it was made for the Olympic Games.

On the afternoon when Chen Kangjie and the others left, the police went to the Hilton to look for Samidov. Naturally, no one was found. When the police wanted to check Samidov's check-in records, they were rejected by the hotel. For the guest's information, if there is no real evidence or a search warrant approved by the judge, the Hilton Hotel will not disclose the guest's information. It is not like the Flower Hotel in Zhucheng, where you can ask the guest's information at the front desk.

In the future watching games, apart from paying attention to the athletes of the Chinese team, Chen Kangjie will be attracted by the basketball and track and field.

The Olympic Games opened the door for professional basketball players for the first time, allowing the NBA star players who have already been popular all over the world to participate in the Olympic Games.The American "Dream Team" composed of "Flying Man" Jordan, "Magic" Johnson and other professional basketball players caused a sensation in the city with their extremely wonderful performances. To more audiences around the world, expanding the influence of basketball.

Chen Kangjie is not considered a basketball 'fan', but like many people in China, his understanding of the NBA began with Jordan.In the 90s, Jordan was almost synonymous with the NBA. He helped the Chicago Bulls achieve remarkable results, and at the same time established his sacred status in the basketball field.

During the Olympics, Chen Kangjie watched three games of the US basketball team. To be honest, he came here for Jordan. Every time he dunked in a chic leap, Chen Kangjie applauded fiercely. It can be seen indirectly from the inside that the visual effects are still very different. The only regret is that the opponents they face have no suspense of winning. Everything has been decided at the beginning of the game. This kind of performance show without real opponents, It is difficult for the top strength of the US team to be fully utilized.

Just like what is often said in Chinese martial arts, a top master is lonely because he has no opponent. In order to find a suitable opponent, they are willing to give up a lot of benefits. I don’t know whether it is to improve themselves or to resolve the rare loneliness.

"Jie Shao, can you play basketball?" Ouyang Zhenhua asked Chen Kangjie while sitting in the stands of the basketball competition hall.

"Yes, I rarely play." Chen Kangjie only started playing basketball in the first year of junior high school. During physical education class, during free time, the physical education teacher would throw out a basketball or two for the students to play by themselves.

"I'm not talking about whether you can play, I'm talking about whether you can play." Chen Kangjie obviously misunderstood Ouyang Zhenhua's question, so Ouyang Zhenhua explained again.

"Well, I guess not. My basketball skills are very bad." Chen Kangjie is still a little self-aware. His physical fitness is good, and he can handle his peers on the basketball court with ease, but he is not confident in his basketball skills. .

"Didn't you win the eight championships in the school sports meeting?" Ouyang Zhenhua is no stranger to Chen Kangjie's small achievement.

"Tch, being good at track and field doesn't mean you're good at basketball. I don't know what logic you're talking about." Chen Kangjie despised Ouyang Zhenhua's mentally handicapped reasoning.

"I thought you were so keen on the U.S. team's game because you wanted to have fun in it too." Chen Kangjie's contempt did not hurt Ouyang Zhenhua at all, and Ouyang Zhenhua said whatever he thought.

"I don't have any idea about this, and it's still possible in track and field," Chen Kangjie said casually, staring at the field.

Today, only Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua came to watch the basketball game. He Wanrong and Tan Meiyun did not come. They had no interest in it at all. They chose to go to the women's diving competition instead. So much interest, so I didn't follow, but let Xiong Ziqiang and the others accompany them.

"Athletics? Do you want to enter the national team?".

"Do you think I look like a professional athlete?" Chen Kangjie turned to stare at Ouyang Zhenhua and asked.

Ouyang Zhenhua shook his head like a rattle. Chen Kangjie could never be a professional athlete. It was hard work. Besides, Chen Kangjie still had a huge career. How could he go through those procedures and undergo rigorous training? Even if he needed a team , Chen Kangjie can also hire first-class coaches and training assistants himself.

"That's it".

Just yesterday, a game deeply stimulated him. In the 92-meter track and field final of the 100 Olympic Games, all eight athletes were black. Interestingly, these blacks were not the original Africans, but representatives Developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom participated in the competition. Some of them changed their nationality in the previous generation of their families, and some changed their nationality because of money or other interests shortly before the competition.

In the end, the 32-year-old British veteran Christie won the championship with a time of 9 seconds.Then in the long jump competition held on the same venue, the strong contenders for the gold medal were two famous American players, Carl Lewis and Michael Powell. These two famous athletes were also black. As a result, Lewis achieved the Olympic long jump competition with 96 meters The three consecutive championships; Powell finished second with 8.67 meters.

When others held the Stars and Stripes and the Mi Ziqi flag and ran wildly on the field, Chen Kangjie couldn't see a Chinese figure, and he couldn't see a yellow race.After the game was over, journalists from all over the country quickly issued press releases. Chen Kangjie saw a message from the Associated Press, that is, people of yellow race and even Asians are unlikely to be competitive in such an event that emphasizes speed and explosive power. Forget about winning the championship.This news reminded Chen Kangjie of those young Europeans who had been pranked by him. Although their discriminatory remarks were absurd, they did have a certain basis in reality.

Since the Los Angeles Olympics in 84, the Chinese delegation has been able to achieve good results. Whether it is a medal or a gold medal, they can have a good ranking, but the numbers cannot explain everything.

There are too few items for the Chinese team to achieve good results, and they are limited to a few effective items, such as diving, table tennis, shooting, and gymnastics. Among the major track and field contributions, the Chinese team has very few outstanding athletes. Ma Jiajun has cultivated some excellent athletes, but that is short-lived, rapid rise, and rapid decline, and the main female athletes are trained. It is estimated that male athletes appear less often than solar eclipses in world track and field competitions.

"Tomorrow there will be Chinese athletes participating in the UFO shooting event, do you want to watch it?" Ouyang Zhenhua asked Chen Kangjie after coming out of the basketball competition hall.

"Of course I will," Chen Kangjie replied firmly.

Chen Kangjie not only wanted to go by himself, but also pulled He Wanrong and Tan Meiyun together. At first, the two ladies heard that they were going to watch the UFO shooting, and shook their heads repeatedly, not intending to go. Later, they heard that there were female athletes from the Chinese delegation. Participating, reluctantly agreed to go cheer together.

Why do they have such an attitude, because until the 1992 Olympic Games, there was no women's competition in flying saucer shooting, and a mixed method of men and women was adopted, that is, because of this setting, the champion's medal was Almost all of them are hung on the heads of the male athletes, and the female athletes are just a foil. Because of this, He Wanrong and Tam Meiyun are so reluctant. In their view, this is just a repetition like the previous ones, and finally stood at the top. Those on the podium must be those Western male athletes, but they were surprised by the final result.

The female shooter named Zhang San of the Chinese delegation showed the world what it means to "women don't let their eyebrows go".From the outside, this thin girl with ponytails looks very weak, compared with those tall and burly white athletes, she is too weak, but when he raised the gun, his piercing eyes told others that she had locked on Target.

At the beginning, this Chinese athlete was not very conspicuous, and her performance was not too outstanding. She just followed a few male athletes closely. But if you observe carefully, her performance and mentality are relatively stable. The hit rate of the gun is also steadily improving, which has helped her a lot, and it can be clearly seen that his mental quality is very good.

The results of the few male athletes ahead of her were severely bitten, which brought a lot of pressure to them. The further back, Zhang San performed better, while the other male athletes made more mistakes.

"Come on, come on, hold on", He Wanrong and Tan Meiyun's cheering voice and enthusiasm seemed to be stronger than Chen Kangjie's.

Zhang San must have heard the call of his relatives in the motherland. Before raising his gun again, he turned around and waved to the not-so-large stands with a smile.

"She heard it, Meiyun, she heard it, she waved to us," He Wanrong stood up, shaking Tan Meiyun's arm excitedly.

"Sister Wanrong, you are also a big star, is it necessary?" Chen Kangjie teased.

"Let me tell you, I really didn't think of myself as a star," He Wanrong said to Chen Kangjie with her mouth pouted.

Indeed, apart from avoiding reporters and fans, He Wanrong really doesn't have any celebrity image, especially at this time, jumping and jumping, she is simply a lively young girl who has become someone else's fan .

In the end, with the support of Chen Kangjie and others, Zhang San became the first female athlete in Olympic history to win the championship in the UFO shooting mixed competition with a score of 223.The gold medal won by Zhang San is very important. Not only did she create the miracle of "women don't give up to men", she also became the first Chinese woman to break the European players' monopoly on this event for many years.Her achievements have aroused the shock of the international shooting community, and praised Zhang San as an incredible champion.After the game, He Zhenliang, vice president of the International Olympic Committee, and the president of the International Shooting Federation couldn't help congratulating the woman who defeated the man.On the podium, the two men who won the silver and bronze medals paid their respects in this way.
