Seeing Kishi Qingyi leave, Chen Qiang suddenly felt that everything he had done after passing through this era was meaningful.

The Japanese not only noticed Chen Qiang, but also began to buy Chen Qiang, which shows that Chen Qiang is useful, and the role he can play is getting bigger and bigger.

The government of the Republic of China obviously did not realize this, and those high-ranking officials still regarded the struggle for power as the top priority, while the slightly lower official positions were busy making money, and no one paid special attention to Chen Qiang, but the bribery of the Japanese was obviously proving that what Chen Qiang did was right.

Of course, Chen Qiang hopes that his life can be better, no matter in any era or country, it is very good to be a rich man, power, wealth, and beauties, these are in front of him, Chen Qiang will also be tempted and eager to get.

But in the face of national righteousness, these are nothing.

Chen Qiang is a time-traveler, he does know the trend of history better than the people of this era, but he can't change anything, because he doesn't have that ability, he is just a sportsman.

Chen Qiang has a small goal, in this troubled world, he can ensure that he survives, and he can rely on his own ability to make life better. It is enough to be able to contribute to the whole country and the whole nation in the way that we can.

As some people say, in this era of sports, the common people are illiterate, even if you are awesome, who will know?

It was also in that era that there were too many heroes, who contributed to the country and sacrificed for the nation, and they were also unknown, maybe when they died, they didn't even have a place to be buried, they went through their lives, but no one remembered their names.

There are too many such people! They gave everything for the country and the nation!

Those unsung heroes, they are really great, but who knows?

In this sad era, to pay for the country and the nation, you don't need others to know!

Just do it!

Those heroes, their sacrifices, are not for others to know!

Chen Qiang does not seek to make a lot of money, does not seek to have much power, and does not seek to be surrounded by beautiful women. He just wants to do something for the country and the nation within the scope of his ability.

If it is to make a lot of money and become famous, Chen Qiang in his previous life should not choose to engage in sports.

In the future, there will only be a few athletes who can make a lot of money, like Chairman Yao, like Liu Xiang, and only one of the billions of people in China. Even if it is an Olympic gold medalist, there are 30 or 40 people in China every four years, an average of 10 people a year.

The vast majority of other athletes train in obscurity, pay in obscurity, retire in obscurity, and then hope to find a stable job in the system, and their lives will pass like this.

When you are an athlete, you can't get rich, and if you want to get rich, you shouldn't be an athlete.

Even if you write and write about sports, you can't get rich, and if you want to get rich, you shouldn't write about sports.

……

On August 5, the 400m semi-finals and final will be held, and for Chen Qiang, it will be his last day of competition at the Los Angeles Olympics.

When Chen Qiang arrived at the competition venue, the spectators had already arrived one after another, and there were obviously slightly more spectators today than yesterday, perhaps because the 400m was the gold medal event of the American team, and the American athletes performed very well in yesterday's semi-finals, so they were able to attract more spectators.

American players Bill Carr and Ben Iscaman are the focus of attention, and in the eyes of everyone, the champion will be born between these two.

And Chen Qiang, the halo blessing of four gold medals made him known by people, but he was only recognized, and no one was optimistic that Chen Qiang would win the final championship, mainly because Chen Qiang did not perform well in the preliminary and semi-finals yesterday.

The semi-finals of the 400m were divided into two groups, again with six athletes in each group, with the top three finishers in each group advancing to the final.

Team USA's Bill Carr and James Gordon were placed in the first group, while Chen Qiang was placed in the second group, along with American athlete and 400m world record holder Ben Iskaman.

Chen Qiang feels that the strength of the players in the first group is still higher, after all, there are two American players, and the bronze medalist of the last Olympics, Canadian Alex Wilson, is also in the first group. In comparison, only Ben Iscaman is a master in Chen Qiang's group, and no one else is capable of competing for medals.

The race started quickly.

Although it was the first group to appear, Bill Carr's heart was full of excitement, and he seemed very high, as if he couldn't wait to start the game as soon as possible and then run recklessly.

"When I get the gold medal in the 400 meters, I will be able to go to the White House and be treated by the president! Hahaha, that's amazing! ”

Bill Carr's mind is full of going to the White House for dinner.

“set!” The starter raised the starting pistol in his hand, and all six players prepared at the same time.

Shots rang out, and all six people rushed out from behind the starting line at the same time.

After all, this is the semi-finals, and those athletes who are slightly weaker no longer dare to have reservations, and those with relatively high strength also need to exert their strength, otherwise they may really be eliminated.

At the start of the race, Bill Carr showed exceptional strength, he appeared confident and ran passionately, as if he had no intention of saving energy.

The crowd was also infected by the speed shown by Bill Carr, and they started screaming, starting to cheer, and whistled at Bill Carr.

M, Bill Karl always maintained a very high running tempo, and it was not until the moment he entered the straight that people realized that Bill Karl had already led so much.

The screams in the audience became more and more enthusiastic, and these voices reached Bill Carr's ears, which gave him great satisfaction, at this time, Bill Carr was probably in a state of "people are crazy", the louder the cheers of the surrounding audience, the more excited he felt, and the more he felt full of strength.

In the final straight sprint, Bill Karl had more than half a second ahead of second place, and there was no suspense about the outcome of this race. It was only by this time that Bill Karl slowed down, but he still crossed the finish line by a huge margin.

Second place was won by Canada's Alex Wilson, who deserved to be the bronze medallist in the 400m at the last Olympics and second only to Bill Carr in the semi-finals of this group.

James Gordon, another American, finished third and advanced to the final, while the next three athletes were eliminated.

Next, the referee announced the results of this group of players.

"47 seconds 2!"

This is Bill Carr's result, and when the referee said it, there was applause.

The next moment, in the loudspeaker at the scene, the voice of the narrator appeared: "47 seconds 2!" Bill Carr ran 47.2 seconds, the best time at an Olympics in the 400m, and he looked to be in great form, breaking the Olympic record in the 400m in the semi-finals! ”

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the gold medalist at the last Olympics in Amsterdam was only 47.8 seconds, and it looks like Bill Karl really has a good chance of winning the gold medal in the 400m dash." Another narrator spoke.

When the spectators learned that this was an Olympic record, the screams and shouts became even more enthusiastic.

With a smug smile on his face, Bill Carr waved around him and didn't forget to look at his compatriot Ben Iscaman out of the corner of his eye, as if he were making a war post to Ben Iskaman.

Ben Iskaman's expression was a little solemn, and he also knew what a time of 47.2 seconds meant.

In the last Olympics, the 400m champion was 47.8 seconds, and Bill Karl has improved this score by 0.6 seconds, and more importantly, this is only the semi-finals, and Bill Karl must still have reservations, which means that in the final, Bill Karl will inevitably be faster.

Ben Iskaman, the world record holder, is certainly reluctant to give up an Olympic gold medal in the 400m, but he also has to admit that Bill Carr is in really good form right now.

"Don't think you've won!" Ben Iscaman looked at Bill Carr and clenched his fists tightly.

"Since I can set a world record of 46.4 seconds, then in today's race, I can also run another 46.4 seconds, your 47.2 seconds is really fast, but it is not enough to threaten me, and when the final comes, I will let you know how good the world record holder is!"

……

Chen Qiang looked at the results of the first group of players. In addition to Bill Carr's 47.2 seconds, the second-place result was 47.8 seconds, and the third-place result was 48 seconds, so Chen Qiang estimated that in the second group of the semifinals, he only needed to run a 48-second time to advance to the finals.

Chen Qiang moved his muscles and bones and started warm-up exercises, at this time he felt a little tired, not only physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.

Since July 31, Chen Qiang has been participating in the competition, sometimes one event a day, sometimes two events a day. And since August 1, Chen Qiang has to deal with a final every day, which is indeed too draining.

It's the Olympics, it's the best competition in the world, and every competition puts a lot of psychological pressure on the athletes, let alone the final for the final championship. Although Chen Qiang has been winning, he has also been under the double pressure of spirit and **, he is like a taut rubber band, always in the most tense state, and it has been like this for five consecutive days.

"Fortunately, today is the last day." Chen Qiang gritted his teeth, he knew that he only needed to hold on for another day before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

In the 400m race, Chen Qiang's opponents mainly have two people, one is Bill Carr and the other is Ben Iskaman. Compared with the two, Chen Qiang is more wary of Bill Carr.

Ben Iscaman is the world record holder in the 400m, but he will soon be gone, and in the 400m final of the historic Los Angeles Olympics, Bill Carr will break the world record with a time of 46.2 seconds and win the championship! So there is only one enemy on Chen Qiang's way to winning the championship, and that is Bill Carr!

"This Olympics is really full of heroes, and many world records have been broken." Chen Qiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the thirties, until the outbreak of the Second World War, sport ushered in a period of great development, with world records in various sports being broken continuously, especially at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Then the Second World War came, and sports began a journey of stagnation for more than a decade.

After Chen Qiang walked on the track, he looked at Ben Iscaman not far away, and then tried hard to concentrate his attention, and also tried to drive away the physical and mental exhaustion.

The six competitors were all ready, and the spectators in the surrounding stands were quiet, and the air at this time had a slightly dignified atmosphere, and this solemnity also made the athletes feel a little nervous.

The same is true for Chen Qiang, although he has been considered for a long time, although this is only a semi-final, but before the start, he still feels a little nervous.

Fortunately, it was this tension that diluted the tiredness in Chen Qiang's heart.

The starting gun rang out, Chen Qiang rushed out of the starting line, and in the corner, he still did not speed up very fiercely, but tried to find the rhythm of running. Soon, Chen Qiang entered his own rhythm.

Then Chen Qiang began to observe the state of the other players in the same group.

The American Ben Iscaman was fast and seemed to be aiming to win the group. The rest of the players are much slower than Ben Iskaman.

Chen Qiang's heart suddenly settled down a lot, the situation of the game was the same as he expected, only Ben Iscaman was a master in this group, and the strength of the others was slightly inferior.

"If you run at this pace and finish second in a group, there should be no problem." Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

If Chen Qiang didn't feel the mental exhaustion, he might try to fight for the first place in the group in this semi-final, but after the fierce competition a few days ago, Chen Qiang still plans to reserve a little energy for the final.

After 200 meters, Ben Iskaman's advantage was already clear, and the next competitors, including Chen Qiang, were at least 0.3 seconds behind Ben Iskaman. After 300 metres, Ben Iscaman had a slight lead in the final straight sprint.

Ben Iscaman was aware of this, and he found his lead untouchable, and he slowed down.

In the end, Ben Iscaman won the first place in the group with a time of 47.6 seconds, and Chen Qiang ran a time of 48.1 seconds to advance to the second place in the group.

Chen is 0.5 seconds slower than Ben Iskaman, which is a pretty big gap visually.

In the previous semi-finals of the first group, the second place was 0.6 seconds slower than the first place Bill Karl, which is also a big gap visually.

It can be said that the two American athletes not only advanced to the final by winning their group, but also advanced to the final by a huge margin.

In the eyes of the audience, the fact that the American athlete advanced to the final with such a big advantage means that in the 400-meter event, the strength of the American athlete completely crushed the athletes of other countries. Spectators could even start celebrating the U.S. team's gold medal in the 400-meter dash early, with the only difference being whether it was Bill Carr or Ben Iscaman who won the gold medal.

……

In the afternoon, the final of the 400-meter dash at the Los Angeles Olympics will be held.

Six runners took to the track and were introduced in turn.

Chen Qiang was placed in lane six, along with three Americans, Bill Carr in lane four, Ben Iscaman in lane two, and James Gordon in lane five.

When the live commentator introduced the three American players, the audience immediately responded with the warmest applause, especially Bill Carr and Ben Iskaman, which made the audience even more crazy.

Ben Iskaman, the world record holder in the 400m, was naturally warmly welcomed by the crowd, while Bill Carr, who broke the Olympic record in the 400m in the morning semi-finals, also attracted a lot of fans.

As for the introduction of Chen Qiang, there was only some symbolic applause, although everyone knows Chen Qiang, and also knows that Chen Qiang has won four gold medals and broken the world record in four events on this field, but still no one is optimistic that Chen Qiang will make a difference in the 400m event.

After all, in the preliminary, semi-final and semi-finals of the previous 400 meters, Chen Qiang's performance was not outstanding, and he basically stepped on the threshold to advance.

The race has not yet begun, and there is still a heated debate in the audience about the ownership of the 400m champion.

"The winner has to be Ben Iskaman, who is the world record holder in the 400m!"

"I don't think so, Bill Karl is also very strong, I think Bill Karl has a better chance of winning the championship."

"Bill Karl is great, but he's never broken the world record in the 400m. Ben Iscaman is different, he's the fastest man in the 400m in this world, and he doesn't win whoever wins! ”

'Bill Karl is in better form than Ben Iskaman, I just inquired and in the last three months Bill Karl has won twice against Ben Iskaman.

Similar arguments arose all over the stands, with some favoring Ben Iscaman and others favoring Bill Carr, and then the two sides argued with each other.

Of course, there are also people who mention Chen Qiang.

"That Chinese has already won four gold medals, maybe this will be his fifth Olympic gold medal!" Someone spoke.

"What are you wondering! It is impossible for the Chinese to win the gold medal in the 400m. Someone next to him immediately retorted.

"Yes, that Chinese's 400 meters is far worse than his meter, you look at the previous preliminary round, semi-finals, and the semi-finals in the morning, he ran very poorly!"

"In the 400-meter event, the strength of our American athletes is so strong, how can the Chinese win the gold medal, don't daydream!"

The spectators next to him cited various reasons to prove that Chen Qiang could not win the 400-meter championship.

In fact, in the past few days, every gold medal won by Chen Qiang has seemed impossible.

In the two sprint events, the U.S. team is extremely strong, and the U.S. team has athletes who can break the world record, but in the end they still lost to Chen Qiang.

The same is true for the long jump, the U.S. team is still strong, and there is also a world record holder in Nambu Chungpei, but Chen Qiang still won the gold medal. As for the triple jump, Chen Qiang completed a Jedi comeback in the last attempt jump!

Throughout Chen Qiang's championship process, every gold medal he won was like completing an impossible task, and every time he broke the world record, he was creating a miracle!

Chen Qiang has created so many miracles and has defeated the top American athletes many times, but in the eyes of Americans, Chen Qiang will never win the gold medal in the 400 meters.

Chen Qiang has put miracles in front of the Americans four times in a row, and now it is the fifth time, and the Americans still shake their heads very absolutely, saying that Chen Qiang is unlikely to win the gold medal, and still refuses to believe that the miracle will happen again. Why is that? Are Americans stupid? Is it because Americans have low IQs?

Of course not! If Americans are really so stupid, if they really have a low IQ, how can the United States become the number one power in the world!

Obviously, Americans are not stupid, their IQ is not low, and the reason why they make such judgments is mainly because of ideology, habitual thinking, and prejudice!

Ideology is easy to explain, I think you are an idiot, even if you are Einstein, I will still think that you are an idiot, and I will find countless reasons, or all kinds of tricks to prove that Einstein is an idiot.

Inertial thinking is also easy to explain, for example, if you are shown two photos, one of which shows the person handsome and elegant, and the clothes are tasteful; In another photo, the person is ugly and vulgar, with various tattoos pierced. Then tell you that one of these two people is a nationally wanted criminal, and if you want to point to whoever it is, your first reaction will confirm people's habitual thinking.

As for prejudice, it's even more ubiquitous. For example, in India, the identity of a untouchable is original sin, no matter how noble the untouchable is, how friendly he is, how kind he is in his heart, as long as he is a untouchable, people will be prejudiced against him.

At that time, China was poor and backward, the country was weak, and it was constantly humiliated by foreign powers, and the Chinese were also discriminated against in the United States.

Even though Chen Qiang has won four gold medals, broken the world record in four events, and changed many Americans' views on China, ideology, thinking inertia and prejudice cannot be reversed for a while, and even these things cannot be changed for a lifetime!

This way of thinking of Americans will still be common in the future, for example, if you go to a famous Q&A website in the United States, search for "doeshinahave", and various nouns will automatically appear in the search bar, such as does China have a car? Is there a railway in China? Does China have planes? Is there a cell phone in China? Is there a computer in China? And so on and so forth, and there are many similar questions. However, the Americans who asked the question did not realize that the mobile phone or computer they used to ask the question was made in China!

This is the 21st century, Americans who have entered the Internet age, are they stupid to ask such idiotic questions? Or do they have a low IQ?

Apparently not. It is because when they look at China, they are full of ideology, full of thinking inertia, and full of prejudice!

In the future Internet era, many things can be answered by a casual search on the Internet, but Americans will still ask such idiotic questions. So in the thirties of the twentieth century, in that era of poor information exchange, Americans felt that Chen Qiang could not win the 400-meter championship, which was even more normal.

……

Bill Karl looked at his hands, and at this point his hands began to tremble.

It's because of the excitement, it's because of the excitement, it's because Bill Carr can't contain that hunger for the game in his heart!

Or rather, it's the desire for a championship, a desire for honor.

Winning the gold medal, breaking the world record, getting ahead, going to the White House to accept the president's banquet, achieving fame, and reaching the pinnacle of life, this is probably what Bill Carr is thinking about at this time.

Bill Karl stood in the fourth lane, he looked back at Ben Iscaman in the second lane, and at the same time, Ben Iscaman also looked at him, and the two looked at each other for a moment, as if a sword was unsheathed, and instantly released a murderous aura.

"Ben Iskaman, you wait and see, this 400m gold medal must belong to me, and I will also take the 400m world record!" Bill Carr shook his teeth and got ready to start.

Ben Iscaman was thinking the same way, and he was going to defend his 400m world record holder by beating Bill Carr to win the gold medal in the 400m.

Both of them regard each other as their biggest opponents, and as for the other athletes, they have been treated as passers-by by the two, so they don't have to care about it at all.

The starter motioned for the six players to prepare, and then raised the starting pistol with a "set".

At this moment, Chen Qiang's expression became solemn, and his attention was completely focused on the track, this was his best race in the Los Angeles Olympics, and it was the curtain call performance of his first Olympic Games, there was no competition in the future, Chen Qiang would definitely do his best without reservation.

So the moment the gunshot rang out, Chen Qiang quickly rushed out, and this time he was not like the previous preliminary round. In the semi-finals or semi-finals, you slowly try to find your own rhythm, but start to accelerate rapidly, and then find the rhythm you are comfortable with in the process of acceleration.

In this last race, Chen Qiang planned to squeeze his physical fitness to the extreme, so in the starting stage, Chen Qiang did not deliberately retain his physical strength, he took a big step, pedaled more powerfully, and his cadence was faster.

Chen Qiang is in lane six, which is the outermost track, and the first to sense the change in Chen's speed is none other than American athlete James Gordon in lane five.

"That Chinese is running so fast, the race has just begun, does he need to fight so hard? In the semi-finals in the morning, he was not so fast after the start! James Gordon said to himself.

At the same time, Bill Karl didn't pay attention to Chen Qiang, and while he accelerated, he also divided a little bit of energy to pay attention to Ben Iskaman's situation.

In the 100-meter bend in front, the athletes' physical fitness is relatively sufficient, and the running is not slow, and in a few blinks of an eye, they have completed the first 100 meters and entered the first straight.

The straight is much easier to run than the corner, and in this straight stage, all six runners have started the fast running mode.

In fact, in the straight, it is easier to compare the advantages and disadvantages of speed, even if the athlete's front and rear positions are different, but it is still easy to see who is fast and who is slow.

In the stands facing the straights, the spectators had already noticed that Bill Carr and Ben Iscaman were faster than the other players, which made the spectators so excited that they immediately cheered and gave their cheers to the athletes.

There is another person who is also very fast, that is Chen Qiang, but Chen Qiang is on the outermost runway, which is a marginal position, which is not as conspicuous as Ben Iscaman in the second lane and Bill Carr in the fourth lane, not to mention that the audience did not pay attention to Chen Qiang's situation at all.

The cheers of the crowd reached Bill Carr's ears.

"All these applause and cheers were given to me, right? In this arena, all the spectators must be expecting me to win the championship! Bill Carr was getting more and more excited.

Bill Karl was already a "crazy man", he was already excited before the game started, and now he feels more and more difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart when he hears the enthusiastic cheers around him.

"Rush, rush forward, I can be faster, I can run faster!"

Bill Carr suddenly felt as if his body was about to burn, and he urgently needed to vent happily, and the best way to vent was to run forward desperately!

As an athlete of the "people come crazy" type, that kind of exuberant spirit has completely activated his full state!

……

Ben Iscaman could feel that Bill Karl was running faster and faster!

"Am I going to lose to Bill Karl? With his arrogant character, if I really lose to him, he will laugh at me for the rest of my life, no, I can't lose, at least not to Bill Carr's nasty guy! ”

The dignity and pride of the world record holder made Ben Iscaman pick up his pace, but he felt it wasn't enough, and at his current pace, it wasn't enough to beat Bill Carr.

"I'm going to be faster, I'm the world record holder in the 400m, I can be faster!"

At this point, the riders had finished their sprint on the straight and entered the corner again.

The process of rice is a process of transforming from anaerobic exercise to aerobic exercise, at this time everyone will slow down, absorb some oxygen, decompose some lactic acid, and let the body get some relief.

However, Ben Iscaman was still forcibly accelerating, which caused his body to experience a brief lack of oxygen, and then he had to slow down his pace to ensure his body's oxygen supply.

It was in this moment of lack of oxygen that Ben Iscaman had a glimmer of hallucination. He felt as if he had returned to March 26, 1932, to Palo Alto, California.

On March 26, 1932, in a race in Palo Alto, California, Ben Iscaman broke the world record in the 400m with a time of 46.4 seconds, and that was his peak moment!

At this time, in Ben Iskaman's mind, that race came back to him, and Ben Iscaman suddenly felt that he was repeating the race on March 26, the race he broke the 400m world record again!

In the next moment, the hallucinations in his mind disappeared and Ben Iscaman was back on the stage at the Los Angeles Olympics.

"Yes, I can feel it, that's what it feels like, that's how it feels when I break the world record!"

Ben Iscaman deserves to be the world record holder, under the mental pressure given to him by Bill Carr, and under the physical pressure of the lack of oxygen in the body, Ben Iscaman at this moment found the feeling of breaking the world record that day!

A few months ago, the world record-breaking Ben Iscaman was back!

……

Bill Carr can feel that he is in better shape than ever.

Although in the corner, Bill Carr also slowed down to allow his body to enter a short aerobic exercise to relieve the pressure of lack of oxygen and lactic acid on the muscles, but Bill Carr's spirit is still in that state of excitement.

The cheering around is still heard!

"More cheers! Be louder! Makes me more excited, makes me more excited, and drives me crazy! ”

At this moment, Bill Karl's eyes did flash with a hint of madness, because he had realized that he was running fast today, and he had never been so fast!

Bill Carr suddenly felt that the Olympic gold medal in the 400m was beckoning to him!

Towards the end of the corner, it's time for the final straight sprint, and Bill Karl has regained some fitness and he's starting to accelerate for the final sprint.

"I'm going to win, I'm going to win!"

With that conviction in mind, Bill Karl burst out of the corner and into the straight. At the same time, Birkar glanced to the left, and he looked at Ben Iscaman in the second lane.

Ben Iscaman is still behind Bill Carr.

In the 400m race, it is clear who is ahead and who is behind after the athlete enters the final straight, and now Ben Iscaman is behind Bill Karl, which means that Bill Karl is the leader!

"I was ahead, I outperformed Ben Iskaman! I'm number one! I have long said that the gold medal in the 400m is mine, the world record in the 400m is also mine, and I am the number one in the world! ”

The lead made Bill Karl's heart flutter and he turned his head to go all out for the final sprint.

However, the moment Bill Carr turned his head, out of the corner of his right eye, he found that there was a person on the rightmost runway!

The man ran ahead of him!

That's the sixth way!

That person is Chen Qiang!

At this time, Chen Qiang had already blown the horn of the final sprint and rushed towards his fifth Olympic gold medal!

The 9,000-word chapter is sent, and the big guys still have monthly passes in their hands, please support it!
