Chapter 297: A Familiar Taste

On the seventh day of the competition, the Chinese delegation was even more weak.

On this day, the swimming events were still the big winners, and the outdoor events also began, especially the track and field events.

After the Americans became gods in Shen Lang, they naturally became the monkey king in the pool.

In addition, in judo, shooting, wrestling, cycling and other sports, the United States also has many champions.

Now that the outdoor event has kicked off, it is impossible for China to overtake in the gold medal table.

Wu Jie felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that China had done well enough in this Olympic Games, and the next thing was to hold the second position, and he must not let West Germany overtake.

In the afternoon, Wu Jie used a diamond-level card for Zhou Ping, who participated in the vault final, which was a bloody investment.

Zhou Ping did not achieve results in the vault event due to mistakes in the original plane, but with the help of Wu Jie's cards, she played very well in this plane, and successfully entered the final with two Romanian world stars as a dark horse.

In the final finals, Zhou Ping ventured to use the "Tsukahara Jump" that can be completed by extremely young athletes in this era, as well as the difficult movements of hand flips and flips and turns with a very high failure rate.

This kind of adventure has a very high failure rate under normal circumstances, but with the addition of diamond-level cards, Zhou Ping successfully broke out into the small universe, defeating two Romanian celebrities in an upset, helping the Chinese team add another gold medal.

In the evening, Ma Yanhong also won the gold medal in the uneven bars event with her original action and high-quality set of performances that shocked the world with her "360° downflip on the bar" that shocked the world.

At that time, not only the audience watching the game was stunned, but Ma Yanhong's entire competition process was accompanied by exclamations one after another!

In the end, even the contestants were almost crazy by this set of moves, because they knew that Ma Yanhong was invincible on the uneven bars with this set of performances!

Under Ma Yanhong's gold medal of the "Chinese Gymnastics Team", this Chinese celestial group, which has succeeded the "shooting team" and the "weightlifting team", has surpassed the momentum in the past two days.

Especially after Li Ning became another gold medal collector after Shen Lang, the Chinese gymnastics team not only became the first day of the team outside the big ball event, but also the only driving force for the Chinese delegation to continue to move forward in the gold medal table.

In the evening, Li Ning helped China win the last gold medal of the day in the floor exercise, which was also his third gold medal at the Olympics.

The Western media are now very puzzled by how China has so many dominant superstars in various sports, Li Ning and Ma Yanhong are "kings" and "queens" in gymnastics, they not only have absolute dominance in many sports, but also have creative moves that are enough to remember with their names.

But in addition to the "Chinese gymnastics team" that amazed the world, today China also continued to dominate the rekindled big ball events****** volleyball girls defeated Peru 3:0 in the group stage, and the women's basketball girls defeated Brazil 94:85.

This made the gay men shiver a little, but fortunately, the men's basketball team defeated Romania 103-85 in the fourth game of the group in the evening, and finally did not let half the sky completely cover it.

Naturally, this game did not get carried away because of the defeat to the United States, because after the Chinese players went back to review, everyone was taught a lesson by Ruda, especially the three little guys who were scolded from beginning to end.

Of course, Ruda knows the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and he is too lazy to give political and psychological lessons to the younger brothers, which is the task of the coaching staff.

His approach is to be full of pressure, no matter who makes a mistake, don't want to run when reviewing after the game, being sprayed by him is an indispensable daily routine, and this kind of review has long become a must-do link for the Chinese men's basketball team after the game, regardless of whether they win or lose.

There are pros and cons to this high-pressure policy, the good thing is that Ruda himself only scored 25 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in this game, but the assists were as high as 12, and obviously his teammates performed well today.

As for the disadvantages, it is natural that everyone is far more afraid of him than respectful, and some people still have hatred in their hearts!

But Ruda doesn't care about these, he is a Venus, and it is estimated that there will be a chance to add another one after 88 years, who dares to show his hatred for him?

The men's football team did not play today, because the men's team, men's volleyball, and women's handball are all four teams in the group, and they will start the quarter-elimination round tomorrow.

Women's volleyball, women's basketball, and men's basketball are 6 teams in the group, so there is one more group stage, and the knockout round will start three days later.

But at present, these six teams have either qualified or qualified ahead of schedule, which is really a good situation.

At this time, many Chinese people couldn't help but begin to fantasize about whether they would win six gold medals in these six events?

Wu Jie didn't start thinking about it yet, the knockout opponent of the Chinese men's football team was released yesterday, and it was the United States team, which was the second in Group A.

This can only be said to be a narrow road, but the result of the American team qualifying is already better than the original plane.

The American people naturally sang an elegy for their team in advance, and on the world-famous billboards in "Times Square", there was even an expensive funeral for the "American men's soccer team" that lasted for several hours after the results of the match were released!

Wu Jie doesn't think that playing the U.S. team can sit back and relax, and one of the more exciting things about football than basketball is that the uncertainty is much higher.

If the opponent is determined to set up an iron bucket formation, and the referee's penalty scale is more favorable, then the dominant side will press the opponent to play the whole game, and it is still possible to win by a sneak attack in the end.

Although this situation is rare, there are always several classic battles in which the weak defeat the strong every year.

The Chinese team has not yet reached the point where they can ignore their opponents, so before the game, Wu Jie and Chen Haonan gave the younger brothers preventive shots in advance, and even Lin Yaodong, who has always been frivolous, pulled the back line to discuss tomorrow's defense.

Ruda said that he was very envious, it would be good if he had a really awesome helper, and he wouldn't have to break his heart alone at that time.

After the seventh day of competition, the number of gold medals of the Chinese delegation increased to 27, and it continued to rank second.

However, the production of gymnastics is also coming to an end, and on the eighth day, only Li Ning of the Chinese gymnastics delegation won a gold medal in the men's individual all-around.

The gold medal also made him a national hero second only to Shen Lang at the Olympic Games, and the names of "Prince of Swimming" and "Prince of Gymnastics" are not only highly respected in China, but also used by media in Asia, Europe and the United States to report on them.

It's a pity that in today's women's individual all-around event, the Chinese players failed to even enter the top three.

But in the big ball event, several Chinese teams continued to play unstoppable performances today.

The Chinese men's volleyball team was the first to play, and due to the unexpected first place in the group stage, this allowed the men's volleyball team to draw a good draw in the quarterfinals, and their opponent was the relatively weak Turkish team in the quarterfinals.

Wu Jie naturally would not arrange a card for the men's volleyball team, but he didn't expect that in the face of the weakest opponent in the knockout stage, the men's volleyball team played the tradition of abuse of the men's football team and the men's basketball team, and actually took the Turks away 3:0 directly.

This makes Wu Jie also think that the men's volleyball team will not be a plug-in, right?

Although the Turkish men's volleyball team is the second team in Europe, it is actually a little stronger than the Chinese team in terms of hard power.

He originally thought that even if the men's volleyball team could beat Turkey, it should be a fierce battle of equal strength, but now this big victory was completely beyond his expectations.

However, after breaking through the best results in history and successfully entering the semifinals of the Olympic Games, the Chinese men's volleyball team finally got the attention of domestic audiences.

This result not only surprised Wu Jie, but the domestic audience did not expect the men's volleyball team to come to this point, which made the men's volleyball team finally begin to be looked down upon by the Chinese people.

The women's handball team played in the evening, and they also topped the group with the men's volleyball team, so they were against a weaker Italian team.

But there was a lot of suspense in this game, and the game process was also ups and downs.

The Chinese women's handball team even fell behind for most of the time, and it was not until the end of the second half that they finally completed the comeback, and finally narrowly defeated the lowly-ranked Italian team with a score of 39:38.

The Chinese men's football team played two hours behind the women's handball team, and it didn't start until 8:30 p.m. local time.

But this game, which made hundreds of millions of people across the United States sincerely pray and hope that God can work miracles, broke the hearts of the entire American audience less than two minutes into the game!

The Chinese team did not despise the United States today, but they still looked down on the United States a little bit in the starting lineup, because two of the three youngsters started the game.

But this level of contempt is completely within a reasonable range, you can't let the Chinese team face an opponent who can generally stop the ball a meter or two away, and you have to show a 100% attitude, which is too unrealistic.

The Chinese team did not test after the opening, and directly launched a high-intensity confrontation in the midfield.

The physical fitness of the American players is very good, all of them are tall and strong men, and several black players are also very amazing in terms of speed.

But today the Chinese players taught the Americans a lesson, telling them that "football" is not something that can be played by tall people, whether you can protect the ball in the confrontation, whether you can face the defense without making mistakes in dribbling and passing, this is the performance of distinguishing the strong from the weak.

In the face of the Chinese team's pressing, the skills of the American players are not to mention, first of all, the shortcomings of the basic skills are completely exposed.

Just over a minute into the first half, a player named Henry in the American midfielder stopped the ball directly 3 meters away when he stopped the ball, and in the face of Chen Haonan's scramble, he first pushed it down with a push action, and then passed the ball out in a hurry, and the ball fell straight to the feet of Wu Jie.

Wu Jie was naturally very surprised in his heart, but he did not delay in the slightest action, and after getting the football, he neither passed nor broke through, and suddenly shot from 40 meters away from the goal!

This shot was probably the reason for the overly comfortable pass, and the ball flew towards the goal in a way that grazed the grass and touched the ground.

Powell, the black goalkeeper of the U.S. team, reacted very quickly, but he obviously lacked preparation for this goal, and he was a little slow to make a save, so he could only watch this "extraterrestrial ball" crash into the gate with an ultra-low flying attitude!

Such a shocking world wave goal stunned the 100,000 spectators in the "Los Angeles Memorial Stadium" on the spot!

Although they were ready to be beaten by the Chinese team, they still didn't expect the blow to come so suddenly! I didn't expect the ball to come so suddenly!

"It was an eye-opener goal from 45 metres away from the goal, and the trajectory of the ball was like a hornet flying at a very low altitude!"

The American commentator was also stunned for a while, and finally could only use the newly commissioned F18 to alleviate the embarrassment.

"We don't need to be too surprised by this goal, the United States is very developed in sports, but it has long been behind the world in football, and we have to play with a learning attitude in today's game against the Chinese team."

Another American commentator also tried to alleviate the embarrassment, he was not lying, but the tone and content, why is it so familiar?

"Wu had already said before the game that the problem of American football is mainly in the basic skills, and stopping the ball is a manifestation of the basic skills, and it is a pity that our players are very unpopular in this regard."

"That's right, the Chinese players are world-class in stopping the ball, and our players can be called community level in stopping the ball!"

"When it comes to stopping the ball, there is a joke in the world that the player who can stop the ball 1 centimeter under his feet is a Brazilian player; The player who stops the ball 10 centimeters under his feet is a Chinese player; The player who stops the ball 1 meter at his feet is an England player; The player who stops the ball 10 meters away and assists the opponent to form a shot is our American player. ”

These two commentators turned into complaining as they spoke, but how did they sound more familiar?

If Wu Jie knew about the complaints of these two commentators, he would definitely burst into laughter!

This is really a popular joke recently, and the original source was Isabella's "World Football" magazine, which was mainly a satire on England's 3-0 defeat to Germany in European competitions.

The British were good at this, and this sarcastic joke spread quickly.

But not many people pay attention to the private goods here, and the basic skills of Chinese players are actually a lot worse than this level.

Strangely, no one questioned this.

This is because the Chinese players who play in Europe are all players with outstanding basic skills and delicate skills.

The basic skills of Gu Guangming, Zhao Dayu, Shen Xiangfu and others are really solid and terrifying.

Wu Jie and Chen Haonan are naturally better than Brazilian players in stopping the ball.

After all, everyone loves to listen to the jokes that satirize England and the United States, and the impression that the Chinese players' foot skills are second only to Brazilian players has been formed.

This kind of rumor is actually similar to rumor-mongering, but after more circulation, even the Chinese players believe it.

The advantage here is naturally that it invisibly puts forward higher requirements for Chinese players.

Now young players in China are demanding themselves with the standard of stopping the ball 10cm, and many talented little guys even require themselves with the so-called Brazilian standard, after all, the benchmark of players in Europe is too high, and they can't even see it if they don't work hard!

Recently, even young players in the north have developed an almost paranoid attitude towards basic skills, because they can't meet this rumored technical standard, isn't that a shame for the words "Chinese players"?

The little guys saw that the skills of the Americans were really as rough as the rumors, of course, they used extremely contemptuous words, mercilessly mocking the Americans for not even stopping the ball 50 centimeters The minimum standard is not reached, it is really not in the stream!

"Look, look, the American stopped the ball again and made a mistake!"

"Haha, my uncle can park this ball!"

"My grandma can do it!"

“……”

These voices were too malicious, but the U.S. team at the game did play a disastrous performance.

This gang is white and strong like an ox, and the black and fast is fast, not to mention facing Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, even dealing with Gu Guangming and Ren Zhihui, who are in danger of facing the Chinese wings.

The Chinese team's defense was very easy, and the two iron chains that the Italians couldn't get through, didn't need to play whips today, just two casual throws were enough to make the American team lose ground.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Chen Haonan and Ren Zhihui on the left side, plus Zhao Dayu continued to hit the wall, and only used the continuous cooperation between the three people to break through the defense of the Americans, and finally Zhao Dayu scored a clever shot in the penalty area - 2:0.

In the 28th minute, the Chinese team scored again with a free kick.

At this time, the live broadcast screen gave Lin Yaodong a close-up of his waist in front of the opponent's door with a smug face, and there was really no second evaluation except for "underplay".

The American audience at the scene already had the idea of leaving, but most of them were still prepared to wait for halftime before leaving, otherwise it would be too cruel to the American team on the field to leave the game in half an hour.

But if they don't leave now, they will be very cruel to themselves!

In the 34th minute of the first half, Chen Haonan also made a long-range shot from a position 36 meters away.

This shot was somewhat casual, but I didn't expect the defenders of the American team to make a mistake in positioning, and the goalkeeper's vision was blocked, and it was already too late to see the ball clearly, and the long-range shot pierced the goal again.

This goal completely broke the mentality of the American audience, and some fans left the stadium one after another before the end of the first half.

But this will not only blow up the mentality of the American audience, but also the goalkeepers of the American team, as well as the players, all of them are in the same cracked state!

In the stoppage time of the first half, Ren Zhihui seized the mentality of the collapse of the entire American team, and used Chen Haonan's sudden long pass from the backfield to complete the clearance on the left side, and finally faced the goalkeeper with a difficult shot from a bad angle to complete the goal.

At this time, if you look at the "Los Angeles Memorial Stadium" with a capacity of 100,000 people, one-third of the seats have become empty at this moment, and it seems that there are ghosts hovering on it......
