Chapter 441 The fifth gold medal, the fifth world record
In the evening, the men's basketball team arrived at Wukesong Gymnasium.

At 110:, at the Bird's Nest Stadium, Liu Xiang advanced in the semi-finals and made it to the final of the -meter hurdles.

At 8:30, the quarter-final between the Chinese men's basketball team and Australia began.

He Zhongqiu and Bogut jumped the ball and stood on opposite sides of the center line. Bogut didn't dare to look him in the eye, but there was no Bogut in his eyes at all.

"Di!"

When the whistle blew, the referee threw the ball high into the air.

"Snapped!"

He Zhongqiu was high up and pushed the basketball towards Liu Wei. Liu Wei received the ball and the Chinese team attacked.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Zhang Heli said: "Yao should still play at the top of the arc. This position is very suitable for him. He can assist, receive and attack from a distance."

"Zhongqiu entered the basket and Bogut was pushed away." Xu Jicheng said.

Yu Jia said: "No, Dayao is gone."

"Change your playing style?" Zhang Heli asked in surprise.

On the court, Yao Ming did not stay at the top of the arc and went directly to the basket. Instead, He Zhongqiu pulled from the basket to the left elbow area.

Liu Wei passed the ball to He Zhongqiu, who easily knocked away the defender with his back arched, turned around and rushed into the penalty area, attracting Bogut's backup defense.

At this time, he threw the basketball over Bogut's head, and the ball flew over his head and into the basket behind him.

"Oops!"

Bogut turned around quickly, but it was too late.

"boom!"

Yao Ming jumped up to catch the ball with both hands, and then pushed the ball into the basket.

"Oh, an aerial relay slam dunk! So beautiful, Zhongqiu and Dayao completed a double tower cooperation." Yu Jia said excitedly.

"Australia has no way to play in the interior. Even the American team can't do it, let alone them?" Zhang Heli said with a smile.

Xu Jicheng said: "Secure the inside offensive advantage, and then prevent them from entering the penalty area to score, and this game will be secure."

"Yes, can Australia be stronger than the American team?" Yu Jia said with a smile.

"Snapped!"

Looking back, He Zhongqiu soared into the sky, jumped at least seventy centimeters high, and blocked Bogut's hook shot with a block.

"Oh……"

The five pines suddenly erupted into enthusiastic cheers and shouts.

In the end, the Chinese team won the game smoothly.

贺中秋打了31分钟，轰下32分6助攻16篮板8盖帽，防得博古特只得到3分3篮板。

He and Yao Ming played a double tower combination, with 6 assists, 5 of which came from passes to Yao Ming, who scored 28 points in 31 minutes.

On the 20th, the Chinese team had won 49 gold medals, ranking first in the gold medal list.

When he returned to the dormitory building of the Olympic Village, Feng Shuyong was waiting for him and gave him instructions for tomorrow's competition.

“中秋，明天21号上午的三级跳远决赛9点开始，4x100米预赛是11点半，晚上7点45分400米决赛。”

“My game is almost over.”

"The Olympics will end on the 24th. Apart from tomorrow's competition, the 4x100m final will be on the evening of the 23rd, and the men's basketball final will be at 24: pm on the th. These are the only competitions you have."

"Well, I see."

"There aren't many gold medal opportunities left now. You have two individual track and field events, plus men's basketball, and six or seven other events."

"It seems that the price of gold medals has increased by sixty this time!" He Zhongqiu said with some regret.

"Haha, it's only thirty dollars in the United States now, which is already very good." Feng Shuyong said excitedly.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Feng Shuyong left in order not to disturb He Zhongqiu's rest. He Zhongqiu also restrained his qi and blood and fell asleep quickly.

Feng Shuyong returned to the track and field team dormitory building but did not rest. Luo Chaoyi, Sun Haiping and several coaches were waiting for him to discuss tomorrow's 4x100m race.

"Let's discuss it and decide on the first baton first." Luo Chaoyi said.

After everyone discussed it for a while, Feng Shuyong said, "In theory, the first runner should be the one with the fastest reaction time. Zhongqiu is the best candidate for the first runner, but..."

Luo Chaoyi immediately shook his head and said, "Old Feng, Zhongqiu must and can only be the fourth baton. This cannot be considered at all."

"The fourth leg needs someone with the strongest sprinting ability, the fastest speed and the most experience. Zhongqiu is the soul of this event and the leader."

Everyone nodded, and Feng Shuyong also nodded and said, "Then I think we should give the first baton to Wen Yongyi. He has a good start."

"Row."

"Xiao Wen is in the most stable condition. I think it's okay."

Luo Chaoyi also nodded in agreement and asked, "For the second leg on the straight, we need someone who is good at running mid-distance. Zhang Peimeng has good straight-line skills, so I think he should be the one. What do you think?"

Sun Haiping nodded and said, "Hu Kai's straight-line technique is also good. I think the two of them will be about the same in the second and third legs."

Feng Shuyong said, "Director Luo, it's settled then. The first runner is Xiao Wen, the second runner is Xiao Zhang, the third runner is Xiao Hu, and the fourth runner is Zhong Qiu."

"it is good."

At six o'clock in the morning on the 21st, Luo Chaoyi and Feng Shuyong came and waited at He Zhongqiu's door, but did not knock.

At this time, the other members of the men's basketball team were still sleeping.

In fact, at this time, He Zhongqiu had already gotten up. He didn't need to sleep that long at all. He was standing in the three-body stance at this time.

At half past six, there was a noise in He Zhongqiu's room, and the two of them knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Director Luo, Feng Shuren, good morning."

"Zhongqiu, did you sleep well?"

"Haha, I sleep well every day, so don't worry about my sleep quality."

He Zhongqiu opened the door and saw two people. He was not surprised. He closed the door and left the dormitory building with them.

After breakfast, I went to the Bird's Nest next door. It was 7:15. After changing clothes, I sat for a while to digest the food. At 7:40, I went to the stadium to warm up.

Some athletes are already warming up. There are still many track and field events today, and spectators are constantly coming in.

After an hour of warm-up, the Bird's Nest was already full.

Because the Olympics are almost over and many events have ended, many Chinese and foreign athletes have come to the Bird's Nest.

The Chinese delegation came with at least 150 people, including at least 50 Olympic champions, and all the men's and women's gymnastics championship teams were present.

"Zhongqiu, are you sure you can break the world record?" Lin Dan ran over and shouted.

"Of course, I never brag." He Zhongqiu laughed.

"Brother Zhongqiu, you won so many gold medals and broke so many world records, you have to treat us after the Olympics," shouted Chen Ruolin, who was only 16 years old.

"Hey, little girl, don't you have a competition tonight?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"After watching the triple jump, I will go back to training." Chen Ruolin said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, I have too many projects and cannot support you." He Zhongqiu nodded and said with some regret.

"Zhongqiu, you have won so many gold medals, which is the best way to cheer everyone up," said Wang Nan.

"Okay, I'll get two more pieces today and give you some more gas." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

At 9 o'clock, the triple jump final officially began.

The finals are ranked according to the qualifying results. The better the result, the later the order of the trial jump in the finals. He Zhongqiu is ranked 11th, the second to last.

The strongest athletes in this event are Nelson Evora from Portugal, Phillips Idowu from Britain, and Levan Sands from the Bahamas.

Olsson, the triple jump champion of the 04 Athens Olympics, was originally the strongest opponent, but he has withdrawn from this Olympics due to injury.

Because of his heavy weight, He Zhongqiu's potential in the triple jump is average, but his opponent is not strong, so he is determined to win this gold medal.

Even for Olsson, his winning score in Athens was 17.79 meters, which is far from the world record of 18.29 meters. However, his current best training result can already break this record.

His potential in this event is average, but that's compared to his other track and field events, not with other people.

The current level is 92, which is two levels higher than the high jump level, and the technique is not bad.

The triple jump competition has begun. Li Hong said to the camera:
"The world record for the triple jump is 18.29 metres, set by British athlete Jonathan Edwards in 1995."

"The Olympic record is 18.09 metres, set by American athlete Kenny Harrison at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics."

"Zhongqiu has now broken four world records and Olympic records in 100m, 200m, high jump and long jump. Now please join me in looking forward to him breaking the world record and Olympic record in triple jump."

"By the way, the wind speed is -0.2 meters now."

The camera switched back to the CCTV live studio, and Han Qiaoshen said with a smile: "It seems that Li Hong is really confident about the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Sun Zhenping smiled and said, "She knows Zhongqiu's training situation best. She is so confident, which means that Zhongqiu has a great chance of breaking the record."

Yang Jian said excitedly: "Zhongqiu has already had three urine tests this time, and he passed all three. His gold medal and world record and Olympic record are all real."

"Eh!"

The other two nodded in agreement, but did not talk about the topic again. They only mentioned it once, as saying too much would affect the harmony of the Olympic family.

At 9:35, it was He Zhongqiu's turn to jump first.

The sport of triple jump originated in Scotland and Ireland. The current jumping method is also called the Scottish jumping method, and this jumping method must be used.

This jumping method has three jumps after the run-up. The first jump is a single-leg hop, with the take-off foot landing on the ground. The second jump is a stride jump, landing on the swinging foot. The third jump is a jump, and both feet must land on the ground.

He Zhongqiu's first jump was a conservative one, just to get a valid result first.

With his ability, if he jumps conservatively, as long as he performs normally, he can get close to 18 meters, which is an effective result and there is a high possibility that he will win the championship directly.

He ran up quickly, controlled his speed and stride well, and his right foot stepped accurately on the edge of the take-off board.

With the first jump, the body suddenly flew forward into the air.

"Click, click..." Reporters on both sides pressed the shutter buttons.

Under the gaze of countless people, He Zhongqiu began to walk in the air the moment he took off. He jumped with his right foot, took a big step forward with his left foot, and then took another big step forward with his right foot.

In the second jump, the moment the right foot landed, he leaped forward again and took a big step forward with his left foot in the air.

On the third jump, the moment his left foot landed on the ground, he took off into the air for the third time and flew towards the sand pit.

The right foot took a big step forward in the air, followed by the left foot, and at the moment the body slid down, both feet fell into the sand pit together.

The referee at the taking-off board immediately raised the white flag, indicating that the first jump was successful.

At the end of the sand pit, Li Hong said happily: "The first jump was a conservative jump, but it was very successful and a very beautiful trial jump. From my point of view, it was farther than all the people before me."

"17.95 meters."

The referee was measuring at this time, and repeated the number after calling it out: "17.95 meters."

"17.95 meters, currently in first place."

Li Hong said happily: "The only one left is Nelson Evola. His best result in 2007 was 17.74 meters, and this year's best result is 17.27 meters. His previous qualifying result was 17.35 meters."

"The most important point is that his career best is 17.74 meters, which he achieved at the World Championships in Osaka last year, where he won the championship."

"Zhongqiu won the triple jump championship in the Shanghai Golden League last year with a score of 17.51 ​​meters. Evora did not participate in that event."

“And at the World Championships in Osaka, Chuqiu did not participate in the triple jump, so this was the first time he and Nelson Evola faced off.”

"Li Hong, you checked the information very carefully!" Yang Jian praised.

"Thank you!" Li Hong said with a smile.

At this time, He Zhongqiu came to her side and said, "Zhongqiu, if the other athletes don't perform beyond their level, the first jump should be enough to secure the championship."

He Zhongqiu smiled and said, "Someone should give it a try for the second jump."

Li Hong asked: "You will probably try to break the world record next. I think you should have no problem breaking the Olympic record."

"I hope everything goes well." He Zhongqiu nodded.

There are only two individual track and field events left. He said that he would break the world records in all six events he participated in. If he misses one, he would be contradicting himself.

On the run-up track, He Zhongqiu's 17.95 meters put a lot of pressure on Evora. He had never jumped higher than this result, not even in training.

Next, he took his first test jump.

In this jump, he very calmly chose to jump conservatively and jumped out 17.50 meters, temporarily ranking third, behind He Zhongqiu and Livansanz who jumped out 17.59 meters.

At 10:22 am, He Zhongqiu is about to start his second trial jump.

Phillips Idowu in front of him jumped 17.62 meters, which was no threat to him. He jumped to break the world record and the Olympic record. "Dear audience, the second jump of Zhongqiu has begun." Li Hong shouted when He Zhongqiu started to run.

Run-up, very fast.

He Zhongqiu ran at full speed and tried his best to control the accuracy of his stride during the high-speed sprint.

With the first jump, his right foot landed right on the springboard, and then he soared into the air with all his might.

He didn't know whether he had stepped on the line or not, and he couldn't care less.

When he jumped the second time, he still felt that he had a huge forward momentum.

On the third jump, his huge weight, which is very heavy for a long jumper, made him feel that the earth’s attraction on him increased.

However, relying on his powerful speed and terrifying jumping ability, he still resisted the earth's gravity and jumped forward with all his might.

The moment his feet fell into the sand pit, the referee raised the white flag, indicating that there was no foul and the second jump was valid.

"No foul, now let's see what the score is."

The camera switched to the scene. Li Hong said something to the camera, then quickly walked to the sand pit and asked He Zhongqiu who was walking up:

"Zhongqiu, how do you feel about this jump? Do you have a chance?"

He Zhongqiu looked at the referee who was measuring the results in the pit and said, "I think I need to do a urine test later."

"what?"

Li Hong was startled, then immediately reacted and said happily: "So there is hope?"

"Ah."

"awesome!"

Before Li Hong could say anything else, the referee in the pit loudly reported: "18.35 meters! 18.35 meters!"

"18.35 meters!"

He Zhongqiu and Li Hong laughed at the same time.

"Congratulations, Zhongqiu, for breaking the world record and Olympic record for the fifth time in this Olympics." Li Hong immediately offered his congratulations.

"Thank you!" He Zhongqiu said happily.

At this time, IAAF President Diack, Luo Chaoyi, Feng Shuyong, Sun Haiping and others came up to offer their congratulations.

He Zhongqiu broke so many world records that Luo Chaoyi and others became numb and their faces were all broken from smiling.

Athletes from the Chinese delegation also came forward to offer their congratulations.

The electronic screens at the Bird's Nest also displayed the results of the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, and the loud broadcast began to play:
"Congratulations to He Zhongqiu for breaking the Olympic men's triple jump record and world record with a score of 18.35 meters."

"Clap clap clap..."

The Bird's Nest was immediately filled with thunderous applause and cheers.

With He Zhongtiao breaking the world record and Olympic record with a score of 18.35 meters, the triple jump final had lost its suspense.

In the end, Evola won the silver medal with a score of 17.67 meters, and Phillips Idoya won the bronze medal with 17.62 meters.

After quickly receiving his fifth gold medal, He Zhongqiu began to prepare for the 4x100m preliminaries.

In the CCTV live studio, Han Qiaoshen was introducing the information of this project and said:
"There are two groups in the preliminaries, with eight teams in each group. The top three teams in each group, plus the two best teams among the remaining teams, will advance to the finals."

"Group One consists of the United States, Nigeria, South Africa, Poland, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, and Canada."

"In addition to our Chinese team, the second group also includes Thailand, Britain, France, Jamaica, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany."

Sun Zhenping then introduced: "In the first group, of course the American team is the strongest, their overall strength is too strong.

The United States has always been the dominant team in this event, and the current world and Olympic records of 37.40 seconds are also held by the United States.

"37.40 seconds was set in the 1992 Olympics. It has been 16 years since then, and even the US team itself cannot break it."

“But in recent years, Jamaica’s sprint times have improved, so now this relay event is a US-Jamaica competition.”

Yang Jian continued: "In the first group, apart from the 4x100m dominant team of the United States, Nigeria is also very strong and the best in Africa."

"In the second group, Jamaica is the strongest, and the UK and Italy are also good."

"But now we have the fastest man on the planet, and we are also strong, so we have a good chance of reaching the finals."

Han Qiaoshen took out the list of participants and said, “The four athletes from Jamaica are Thomas, Flatt, Carter, and Powell.

Jamaica didn't even arrange for Bolt, who is in the best and strongest form in the team, to run in the preliminaries. They are really confident."

Sun Zhenping said: "The four members of the American team are Rodney Martin, Padgett, Patton, and Tyson Gay."

Yang Jian continued, "We are Wen Yongyi, Zhang Peimeng, Hu Kai, and He Zhongqiu. This is also the order of the four batons. The US team and Jamaica are the same."

Han Qiaoshen said: "Dear audience, the preliminaries of the 4x100m relay are about to begin. This is a competition to compare the overall strength of national sprinters and is also the most exciting competition on the track and field. Please cheer for the Chinese team!"

"Bah!"

On the Bird's Nest track, with the sound of a gunshot, the first group of races began.

The American team was too strong and was leading in the first three rounds, with Nigeria following closely behind.

But chaos occurred in the fourth baton handover area.

First was the American team. Guy started running forward with his left hand stretched behind him. Pat, the third runner, passed the baton to him, but the force he gave it was a little light. Guy just held it loosely without holding it firmly.

The next moment, the stick fell.

"Oh!"

There was an immediate cry of surprise from the Bird's Nest.

"The baton dropped! The American team dropped the baton!" Yang Jian shouted in surprise in the live broadcast room.

"It's over! Shit!"

When Pat, who was behind, saw this, he was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"..."

Tyson Gay's mind went blank after he dropped the baton. He knew the game was over, so he ran forward a few steps and then stopped.

At this moment, Nigeria also had problems with the baton handover. After passing the 20-meter handover zone, the handover was still not completed and they were eliminated.

"Oh, Nigeria is finished too!" Sun Zhenping shouted.

Soon, the first group of games ended, but the results did not come out immediately. The referee team still needed to check the video to see if anyone committed a foul.

In relay races, lane shifting is a common occurrence, and this is the situation we mainly check for.

This inspection actually found several cases of collusion.

South Africa, Poland and Brazil committed fouls and had their results cancelled.

As a result, the first place in the first group is Trinidad and Tobago, followed by Japan and Canada. There are eight teams in total, and only the results of these three teams are valid, so all three teams have advanced.

"Japan and Canada were so lucky that they were lifted into the finals by the American team!" said Yang Jian.

"Haha..." Han Qiaoshen and Sun Zhenping laughed.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Now it's the second group's turn. I hope our four athletes will perform well and be careful not to commit fouls."

Sun Zhenping said: "Our country has never entered the finals in this event at the Olympics. I hope that this time, under the leadership of Zhongqiu, we can make it to the finals."

At this time, the camera switched to the scene, which happened to be the Chinese team entering the stadium and received the loudest cheers and applause in the Bird's Nest Stadium.

"come on!"

He Zhongqiu, Hu Kai, Wen Yongyi and Zhang Peimeng high-fived each other, encouraged each other and reminded each other: "Brothers, be careful not to break the rules."

"come on!"

Li Hong also shouted from the side.

He Zhongqiu came to the third handover area and stood on the preliminaries line.

The entire relay area is divided into a pre-running line, a back line, a center line, and a front line, with a spacing of 10 meters. They are the pre-running area and the handover area. The back line to the front line is the handover area.

The center line is the 100-meter line of the previous baton. The baton handover must be completed in a 20-meter-long handover area. Whoever drops the baton must pick it up, and it must not affect the competition of athletes in other lanes.

"Everyone is in your place!"

"preparation!"

"Bah!"

At the command, eight athletes at the starting line rushed out of the track.

"Come on, Team China!"

"come on!"

Huge cheers rang out in the Bird's Nest National Stadium, shaking the earth.

However, the overall strength was still inferior to others. When the third leg was reached, the Chinese team was still in sixth place.

At this moment, the Jamaican third runner was the first to rush to the handover area, and then several other teams completed the exchange one after another, leaving only Thailand, France, and China.

He Zhongqiu was a little anxious and started to run forward from the preliminary line. The third runner Hu Kai was trying hard to catch up with him.

Just after passing the center line, a distance of ten meters, He Zhongqiu rushed forward with his powerful explosive power and standing acceleration ability.

At this time, Hu Kai also caught up with him.

"Handover!" Yang Jian shouted loudly.

He Zhongqiu stretched out his left hand, and Hu Kai pushed the wooden stick towards his huge palm. He clenched his five fingers, grabbed the stick tightly, and then accelerated hard.

“Come on! Come on! Come on…”

The huge cheers reached a climax, shaking the earth.

"It's beyond awesome! It's beyond awesome!"

"Speed ​​up! Mid-Autumn speed up!"

"Germany...surpassed!"

"Holland! Holland! Speed ​​up! Overtake, overtake, overtake!"

"There's Britain and Jamaica ahead, speed up!"

In the CCTV live studio, Yang Jian screamed at the top of his lungs.

He Zhongqiu caught up to the British team at 70 meters, then quickly overtook them and caught up with Jamaica's fourth runner Asafa Powell.

"Britain, we've surpassed! We're second, second, second..."

"beautiful!"

"Zhongqiu surpassed four people in a row! He surpassed four people in a row!"

"Give him another ten meters, no, five meters, and he will definitely surpass Powell."

"Congratulations to the Chinese team for finishing second in the group and qualifying for the Olympic 4x100m relay for the first time in history."

"Oh, by the way, let's see the final result. I hope there is no foul."

As Powell and He Zhongqiu crossed the finish line one after another, Yang Jian roared excitedly.

As a result, after inspection, it was found that both the British team and the Italian team had committed collusion violations and their results were disqualified.

In this way, the top three in the second group are Jamaica, China and the Netherlands.

The top two remaining teams with the best results are Germany and Brazil.

In this way, the eight teams that made it to the finals are Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, Canada, Jamaica, China, the Netherlands, Germany and Brazil.

"Great! We made it to the finals, it wasn't easy!" Han Qiaoshen said excitedly.

"Yes! In the last round, Zhongqiu chased four people in a row." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.

"Germany and Brazil are very lucky. Only three teams in the first group have valid results. If there is one more team, one of these two teams will not make it to the finals." Yang Jian said with a smile.

"Dear audience, the 4x100m final will be on the evening of the 23rd. Please continue to support our athletes then," said Han Qiaoshen.

"The men's 7m final will be at 45:400 p.m. It is the sixth and final individual track and field event of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The chances of winning are very high. I hope everyone will watch the final then," said Sun Zhenping.

"Now please watch the men's javelin qualifying competition Group B." Yang Jian said.

After finishing the competition, He Zhongqiu gave a brief interview and then returned to the Olympic Village to rest. There was no training scheduled in the afternoon.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xue received Lei Jun who came to visit as scheduled in the office.

Qiuxue Building is not far from Zhongguancun. He Group is also a major client of Kingsoft, and the two have dealt with each other several times.

However, Lei Jun resigned from Kingsoft at the end of last year, and this was the first time the two met.
