Chapter 265: Ten Percent Strength!
"Hey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Magnussen just responded mechanically, then sat back on his stool, looking numb.
"Hey, Michael, I know it was frustrating to lose yesterday, but you have to show your form, today is the 4x100m relay and this is our chance to win at the end. Sullivan sat next to Magnussen at this time, and as the second player in the team after Magnussen, he needed to stand up and say something.
"Do we still have a chance to win the championship?" Magnussen leaned back on his stool and looked up at the sky.
"Michael!" the grumpy Taggart roared, but was immediately stopped by Sullivan reaching out.
Sullivan knew that Magnussen had been hit after losing to Tang Hao in yesterday's game, which normal people would not be able to accept, and yelling at him at this time would make him even more depressed.
"Michael, it's nothing to lose a game, the important thing is to win it back, Don's strength is indeed stronger than us, but no matter how strong he is, he is just one person. Sullivan began to persuade Magnussen.
Magnussen straightened up, indicating that he was listening.
"We've given it a go, and now that the chance to win the championship is right around the corner, do you really want to give up that opportunity, and be a coward for the rest of your life because you lose a game?" Sullivan continued.
Hearing the word "coward", Magnussen glared at Sullivan suddenly, but soon, he put away his anger and said through gritted teeth: "If I lose again, I don't have the face to continue to sit here." ”
"Relax, the championship will be ours. Sullivan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Do we have any reason to lose? No, the champion, it's ours. "Taggart is much more direct in comparison, and it's almost roaring.
Magnussen pressed his fists, then stood up, and could tell that his fighting spirit was back.
Although the Chinese team has Tang Hao, the other three players are all third-rate players, and the Australian team does not have any possibility of losing, as long as he plays normally.
In the training hall, Tang Hao was sitting by the pool to rest at this time, he had just finished the breaststroke preliminaries, his morning competition was over, and it was time for him to participate in the relay training.
As expected, both the butterfly and breaststroke reached the semi-finals.
He looked to the right at this time, and the veteran Lu Zhibin was warming up on the shore, and as he got older, his pre-match warm-up would become longer.
He then looked at the pool, Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin, two newcomers, were training back and forth in the pool, although their strength was not strong, but it could be seen that they were working hard.
In addition to them, there are two substitute players who are also training, but their level is even worse than Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin.
"49.91!It's less than 50 seconds, work hard!" Lu Zhibin finished his training and timed Yu Hexin for another set of times, then opened his mouth to encourage.
"Okay!" Yu Hexin responded, then turned around and threw himself into the pool again.
After practicing for a while, Tang Hao also went into the water and began to warm up.
"You two guys, take it easy, don't get hurt, it's up to you for the afternoon game. Lu Zhibin saw Tang Hao go into the water and reminded the two young team members.
Yu Hexin and Li Zhuhao both looked at Tang Hao after stopping, their eyes were full of admiration, Tang Hao was a young player like them, although he was about the same age, he was already a god-like existence.
When Tang Hao finished the warm-up, the four of them practiced a few groups, and the last time, Tang Hao did his best, but the results were still unsatisfactory, and at most he broke into the level of the finals.
After the training, Tang Hao's interest was not too high, so he went back to rest after taking a hasty shower.
After returning to the dormitory, he entered the body bully system as soon as possible.
After this period of Olympic competition, he has accumulated quite a lot of honor points.
An Olympic champion has 3 honor points, plus the previous Boxing World Championships and swimming championships, his honor points have skyrocketed to 30 points.
After retiring from competitive archery, he once had the right to choose new characters to unlock, with his current ability, unlocking known characters can be instantly upgraded to eighty percent of the power, which can be said to be a rocket directly to the peak.
But then he was faced with a choice.
The power of Baitiao in the eighty percent wave is enough to ensure that he dominates in individual events, but this strength, if you want to lead the Chinese team to achieve results against the sky, it is obviously not enough.
To upgrade to 90% strength, he needs a full 12 points, which is close to half of his current honor points, which is definitely not a small investment.
He hesitated, then clicked on the upgrade.
So many honor points are basically obtained because of the swimming competition, and it is worth it to make this investment now, no matter how much.
After unlocking it, he took a good nap and then got up to go to the afternoon race.
After unlocking the power of the white stripes in the ninety percent waves, he could feel a sense of intimacy with the water, and the physical exertion was also an order of magnitude less than before, and he easily won the group in both semi-finals and won the finals.
After these two races, he followed up and participated in the men's 4x100m heats.
Some powerful national preliminaries will send substitutes to participate in the competition, the purpose is to save physical strength for the main players, but the Chinese team obviously does not have this qualification, and the main team is doing its best.
Speaking of the grouping of the Chinese team in this competition, they are in the second group, the French team, the United States team and the Australian team are all in the first group, and the only one with outstanding strength is the Russian team, which can be said to be absolutely lucky.
In the first group, the United States and Australia both played on the bench, while France was the main player.
However, it was a big surprise from the start, as the Australians were at the top of the pack from the start, and one baton after another, they were always in the lead.
In the last bat, France's Agnel and the United States' Adrian launched a strong attack, but Magnussen completely went berserk, and finally beat the other two to touch the wall first with a half-body advantage.
Although it was only a group stage, it could be seen that Magnussen was extremely emotional, and smashed the shower cap directly into the water, and the whole person's spirit was completely back.
The first group was followed by the second group.
Although it is a relatively weak group, the Chinese team is still a huge disadvantage compared with other countries in the first two sticks, and is in sixth place after two sticks.
Lu Zhibin, who was in the third base, showed his strength, but in the end he only helped the Chinese team chase from sixth to fifth.
Exactly the same as in training, the Chinese team wants to break through, and the pressure is all on Tang Hao.
After Tang Hao entered the water, he also unreservedly opened his firepower, and in the exclamation of the audience, he chased from fifth to second, and finally only touched the wall of the Russian team.
The final time of the Chinese team was fixed at 3:31.10, which directly broke the Asian record and helped the Chinese team rank fifth in the preliminaries and successfully advanced to the final in the evening.
When they saw the results, several youngsters cheered, knowing that this was the first time that the Chinese team broke into the final of the Olympic 4X100m freestyle relay.
Although the Chinese team won the gold medal in the 200-meter freestyle relay under the leadership of Tang Hao, the 200-meter Chinese team still has Sun Yang, and the gold content of the 100-meter relay is obviously heavier than that of the 200-meter.
After Tang Hao came up from the pool, his teammates cheered, hugging him one after another, and almost threw him up.
Facing the cheers of the audience, Tang Hao and his teammates walked back towards the player passage.
It was at this time that they saw the Australian team being interviewed.
After the preliminaries, which were narrowly defeated by the United States and France, the Australian players were extremely excited, especially their core Magnussen, who was laughing loudly at reporters' questions, in stark contrast to the pre-match frustration.
"The Chinese team is coming!" Seeing the members of the Chinese team coming, several Chinese reporters hurriedly shifted the battlefield and rushed towards the young men who had just made history.
Of course, this is limited to Chinese journalists, and journalists from other countries are also surrounding the Australian team.
At this time, it was the turn of a South Korean reporter to ask a question, he glanced at the Chinese team, and then said: "Among your opponents tonight, in addition to the American team and the French team, are there any teams that can pose a threat to you, such as the Russian team, and then the Chinese team?"
"Hahaha......" The South Korean reporter's question immediately drew a hearty laugh from the Australian players.
Sullivan laughed and said in a tone full of disdain, "Hey, man, there's a strange thing in your question. ”
"Excuse me?" asked the South Korean reporter.
"The Russians have always had good competitiveness, as for the Chinese. Sullivan said with a disdainful smile, "The Chinese haven't even made it to the final before. ”
"But they came in this year, relying on Don's play, you know, Don, that guy. The South Korean reporter said emphatically.
As soon as he said this, Magnussen's face changed for the first time.
Sullivan then said: "Hey, this is a relay race, the Chinese team is too weak, and it is impossible to change the result of the game by one person." ”
However, Tang won the 200-meter relay in the previous one, and in yesterday's 100-meter final, he also won the championship in a record-breaking manner. The South Korean reporter didn't know if it was true or deliberate.
Magnussen's face was furious.
"Well, I'm just talking about what if, you know, there's always a lot of possibilities. The South Korean reporter noticed the change in Magnussen's expression and added.
Magnussen was just about to speak, Sullivan reached out to stop him, and then said in a faint tone: "Hey, man, you are a fan of the Chinese team, right? You know, you say this, it is equivalent to putting the Chinese on the same level as us, in fact, they are not the team that won the championship, right?"
"No, no, I'm not a fan of the Chinese team, I think you're right. South Korean reporter Yu Guang glanced at the angry Chinese team members not far behind him, and stepped back as he spoke.
After the Chinese team finished the interview, they walked back to the locker room along the players' passage.
"Those guys in Australia are so hateful!" Before he arrived at the locker room, Yu Hexin's face was full of anger.
"It's like they've won the championship. Li Zhuhao was also angry.
"The guy did it on purpose, he knew we were behind us. As a veteran, Lu Zhibin can see it clearly.
"Kill them at night, this breath must come out!" Yu Hexin was young and vigorous, and said angrily.
However, when he said this, he did not get the echo of his teammates like he had just done.
Angry is angry, it's true that they can't swim the Australian team, and this time they entered the finals, it was completely Tang Hao who spelled it out alone.
Tang Hao didn't speak at this time, he walked back to the locker room and walked down, his fingers flicking back and forth, his eyes motionless, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Zhibin noticed Tang Hao's expression, motioned to the two young team members to stop talking, and then said, "Tang Hao, let's go eat something first." ”
"Huh?" Tang Hao raised his head and said, "Go ahead, I'm going to play continuously at night, and I'll eat after the competition." ”
When athletes compete continuously, eating will indeed affect their performance, and most players will choose to eat after the competition.
But Tang Hao was going to play two finals in a row at night, Lu Zhibin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally didn't say anything, signaling Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin to go with him first.
When everyone else left, Tang Hao took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.
Eighty percent of the power of the ancient famous generals of the body hegemony system is enough to reach dominance in modern times, and ninety percent is even higher than the top level, but this is not enough.
This is not enough, it does not refer to individual ability, but to the team competition.
The strength of the other three members of the Chinese team is too poor, and he tried his best in the semi-finals, and his results were only ranked fifth among all teams, and it was also when the United States team and the Australian team did not have the main force.
With his current strength, it is not enough to make up for the disadvantages of the other three.
Actually, not enough is right, this is a team event, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to influence the result, just like if you match Michael Jordan with a group of CBA teammates, they will not win the championship.
It's not a question of individual ability, it's a question of overall level.
This point, after Tang Hao's semi-final results came out, he also admitted it.
Because this is indeed the reality, when he reaches the final, what he can do is to help the Chinese team compete for a medal, which is the most realistic.
And in fact, if he really helped the Chinese team win a medal, the impact and shock of this result are unprecedented.
Actually, that's enough.
However, Sullivan's words stabbed him.
As Lu Zhibin said, Sullivan knew that the Chinese team would speak like that behind him, and in fact, he also heard the thoughts of the South Korean reporter, who all looked down on the Chinese team and the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Tang Hao has proved a lot before, they still look down on it, from the bottom of their bones.
"Hey, man, you're a fan of the Chinese team, right? You know, when you say that, you're putting the Chinese on the same level as us, in fact, they're not the team that won the championship, right?"
"Actually, they're not the winning team, are they?"
……
"Enough!"
Tang Hao pressed his fist violently and followed into the body domination system.
After entering the body domination system, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Shun, directly above him, the vine representing the unlock was almost at the top in one step, and the apex was a piece of golden light.
"Master, are you sure you want to unlock Ten Percent Strength?" Ash said in an inquiring tone, not knowing when he arrived at his side.
"Yes, 10 percent. Tang Hao said lightly.
