Chapter 258 Opening (4000 words 200 monthly ticket plus more!) Ask for a subscription! Ask for a commuter pass! )
On October 13, the Olympic Games opened.
Lu Fei's parents have long been sitting in front of the TV waiting for the live broadcast to start, since Lu Fei's mother was sick, she can't take a long-flying plane, so she has never been to the United States to watch Lu Fei's live games, and naturally she can't go to the scene of this Olympics, which is actually a pity.
"Hey, why haven't you seen our son yet!" Lu Fei's mother pointed to the TV screen and said: "My son called and said that he was the standard-bearer, our son must be very handsome on TV, thanks to me, if you follow you, you will be disabled." ”
"Are you still with me when you're disabled?" Lu Fei's father pouted.
"Hey, did you hear anything?" Lu Fei's mother asked suddenly.
"What sound?" Lu Fei's father pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but there was no movement, just the sound of music on the TV.
"The sound of my eyeballs falling to the ground and shattering." Lu Fei's mother said calmly.
“……”
"You see that the venue of the Athens Olympics is not bad, not as bad as my son said, my son also said two days ago that they invited a group of workers from China to rush to work...... What's going on with that row of advertising cloths in the back? ”
"It looks familiar." Lu Fei's father thought for a while: "It's a bit like the advertising cloth hanging on the wall of the newly opened real estate construction site next door......"
"It won't be all construction waste, right?" Lu Fei's mother smiled: "This must be the idea of our Chinese workers in the past. ”
They really guessed correctly, behind the advertising cloth of the Olympic stadium is indeed a pile of construction waste.
The Chinese men's basketball team members all believe that this is the worst Olympics in history.
Lu Fei just stood quietly with the flag on the side, but he was thinking in his heart: "That's because you haven't seen the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Brazil Olympics." ”
Lu Fei remembers that in 2012, the London Organising Committee proudly announced that their venues were much faster than the Athens Olympics, however, they were too soon to be happy......
When the American athletes came to London, the bus to the Olympic Village got lost and took them around London for four hours.
Getting lost is just a trivial matter, and there was also an Olympic shuttle bus that was involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the accidental death of a passerby.
When the athletes arrived at the Olympic Village, they found that their toilets did not have toilet seats.
In the pole vault competition, Lacello Bolguez's pole suddenly broke into three pieces, and his head hit the ground, but fortunately he was fine.
Then there was the collapse of the auditorium, the collapse of the press interview area, the wrong national flag, and the wrong national anthem......
It wasn't until the final analysis of the reason that someone said the truth: "This is to blame the Olympic Organizing Committee, the Olympic Organizing Committee should not have invited Mr. Bean to ...... at the opening ceremony."
Think again of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
Athens finally knew how to cover it with a billboard, and Brazil didn't even cover the roof of the stadium, and it didn't have to cover it if you wanted to.
Before the Olympics opened, the mascot jaguar wanted to escape from prison, but it was directly - bang! Killed by one shot, it was really a death before the master......
Shi Dongpeng and the media were robbed of their luggage, and anti-doping officers were robbed on the street.
In this regard, the explanation of the governor of the state of Rio is:
The appropriation has not yet arrived, there is no money for police cars to refuel, and patrols have been temporarily cancelled......
However, this is not the most embarrassing news: the local police in Brazil have been robbed by gangsters......
Thinking of these, Lu Fei suddenly felt that even the air in this Olympic Games had become much fresher.
……
The camera focuses on the Olympic Stadium, and the first thing that catches the eye is a pool of turquoise water in the center of the stadium, which symbolizes the Aegean Sea, which the Greeks are proud of, and which is also the stage for tonight's opening ceremony.
This particular stage contains a high-tech component: the total weight of the water is 2,162 tons, it takes six hours to fill it all, and at the end of the show, ten large pumps will make the water disappear without a trace in three minutes, and the vanished water will flow to an underground tank large enough to hold it.
Before the opening ceremony, people counted down from 28, heralding the countdown to the 28th Olympic Games.
As the lights dimmed, hundreds of drummers beat the earth-shattering drums to the melodious Greek music, announcing the official start of the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games.
With just one opening ceremony, Athens conquered the world!
The Athens Olympic Games, which finally ushered in the opening of the Olympic Games in a sound of doubt, responded to all the questions about Athens with a wonderful opening. At the opening ceremony, which permeated Greek civilization and wisdom and the spirit of peace, solidarity and fraternity of mankind, all were awe-inspired.
At this moment, the problems of the venue, the roof of the swimming pool, and the huge expenses have all become trivial.
Just before the opening ceremony, the Athenians showed a short film on the big screen. The rapidly changing footage reveals the entire process of the Olympic Stadium from scratch, from ruins to majesty.
What did the Athenians want to prove? They wanted to be at the last moment, and they worked miracles.
Well...... Lu Fei wants to say that this is a miracle for Chinese workers!
There are many objective reasons for the difficult birth of the Athens Olympics.
A small city with a population of just over 10 million will not be able to support the huge Olympic Games even if the whole country is working hard.
So I really don't blame them, poverty is the original sin!
The TV set was playing a Greek theatrical performance, and Lu Fei's mother was drowsy when she watched it, and the regional culture was different, so she didn't have the ability to appreciate it at all.
Sun Yiping and Han Qiaosheng on the broadcast seat praised the performance just now, they can't help it, they have this ability to appreciate, but obviously they also know that most of the audience has not reached this level, even if the introduction is overjoyed, the audience in front of the TV will say, what kind of chicken thing is this performance?
Sun Yi said calmly: "Greece, like China, is also an ancient civilization, and this performance is like a hodgepodge ......"
He really didn't know how to boast about it.
Han Qiaosheng immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, in a short ten-minute performance, it is amazing to combine Greek sculpture, painting, music, literature, and history...... The entrance ceremony has begun! ”
Han Qiaosheng's voice became high-pitched: "The first to appear is the Greek Olympic flag bearer, as the birthplace of the Olympic flame, the first Greek Olympic team to appear in every Olympic Games is Greece, but this year they are the first to appear is only their flag bearer, because they are still the host of this year, and their Olympic delegation will be the last." ”
In all previous Olympic Games, Greece was the first country to enter the stadium as the birthplace of the Olympic Games and the host country of the first modern Olympic Games, while the host country was the last to enter the stadium.
IT WAS EXPECTED THAT THIS TIME GREECE WOULD CEDE THE FIRST PLACE, SO THAT SAINT LUCIA, A SMALL AMERICAN COUNTRY THAT STARTS WITH THE GREEK LETTER Α, WOULD ENJOY THE GLORY OF BEING THE FIRST TO ENTER. But the Greeks eventually resorted to both "usurping" the first and last positions.
The Greek flag bearer will enter with the national flag, followed by the flags and athletes of Saint Lucia and the remaining 200 countries and regions, and finally the athletes of the Greek delegation will appear, which means that the Greek flag and athletes will participate in the entrance ceremony in two steps.
"The second one to come out was Saint Lucia...... In the past, the Chinese Olympic delegation was sorted in English, and we were generally in the 40th place to start with C, but this time the host country is in Greece, because Greece is in Greek, so it is sorted according to the spelling of Greek, plus this Olympic Games has broken through 202 countries and regions, and the Chinese delegation will appear in the 78th place. ”
……
"The U.S. delegation came out, and we saw a lot of our old rivals, like their swimmer Phelps, like the NBA players we watch a lot......"
……
"It's coming!" Han Qiaosheng's voice was more than an octave higher: "The Chinese delegation appeared, and at the forefront was our Chinese men's basketball player Lu Fei, who was smiling, followed by Yu Zaiqing, Duan Shijie, Xiao Tian and Cui Dalin, four league leaders, followed by 28 league officials and 178 athletes. In the phalanx, the regiment leader wore a navy blue suit and yellow pants with the Chinese Olympic Committee logo, brown leather shoes, and a five-ring tie; The male athlete wears a red suit, yellow shirt, beige pants, and brown leather shoes; Female athletes wear white tops, red skirts and red leather shoes. ”
Lu Fei's mother couldn't listen to what Han Qiaosheng said in Nabalabala, she just shook Lu Fei's father's arm: "Look, look, it's my son, it's my son." ”
"Why do you hear this, that's not my son?" Lu Fei's father was speechless.
In the United States, Gu Tang was also watching the opening ceremony, and when he saw Lu Fei's handsome appearance on the TV screen, he suddenly felt that he had chosen the right one.
Well, appearance is justice!
The team finally stood still under the leadership of the guide, and the national flag in Lu Fei's hand was also picked up by the staff, although it was only a few minutes, but these few minutes made him feel that it was worth carrying this flag in his life.
The camera on the big screen on the scene jumped back and forth on each delegation, and the director was also looking for celebrities from each delegation, and the camera stayed on Phelps, Gatling, Duncan, and other celebrities.
Suddenly, the Chinese delegation appeared on the big screen, and it was Lu Fei and Yao Ming who appeared in the camera.
Sun Yiping excitedly introduced: "Now what you see is the two main players of the Chinese men's basketball team of the Chinese Olympic delegation, Lu Fei and Yao Ming, and Lu Fei is also our flag bearer this time, I wish the Chinese men's basketball team a good result under their leadership!" ”
Although he is wishing in advance, in fact, fans who really care about Chinese basketball know that it is too difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to break through this time.
As the minutes passed, the long opening ceremony of the Olympic Games finally came to an end.
With the president of the Olympic Committee, Rogge proudly announced: "The Olympics are finally home!" Then came the passing and lighting of the torch.
Lu Fei has seen all of these once, so naturally he is not as startled as Zhu Fangyu beside him.
He is now more worried about the game in two days.
……
FIBA and the Athens Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games have finalized the men's basketball schedule for the Olympic Games on August 1, and the Chinese team has drawn Group A, in the order of Spain, New Zealand, Argentina, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro.
The teams in Group B are Australia, Angola, the United States, Lithuania, Puerto Rico and Greece.
For the Chinese team, it seems that there is no difference in which group......
Because for other teams, the Chinese men's basketball team has always been a soft persimmon, and the Chinese men's basketball team has only once entered the quarterfinals in history.
The Angolan men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team in Group B are difficult brothers, which is almost the difference in the strength of world basketball, the first gear must be the United States, the second gear is European and South American countries, the third gear is Oceania countries, and the fourth gear is Africa and Asia.
But this time, the U.S. team received intimidation from extremists in Greece, so many of the big names withdrew from the Olympics.
Including Kobe, O'Neal, and Ray Allen did not come, which is equivalent to leaving a starting lineup at home.
Lei Allen also called to persuade Lu Fei not to go......
However, the U.S. team still has stars such as Iverson, Duncan, Anthony, Wade, James, Marbury, Maddy, and Xiaosi, but the quality is slightly lacking.
Before the Olympics, the Dream Six team was beaten by Italy by 17 points in the warm-up match in Cologne, Germany. Two days later, still in Cologne, the Dream Six relied on Iverson's oversized three-pointer to send the game against Germany into overtime.
For the first time in the world, the Dream Team was found to be so vulnerable.
The basketball tournament at the Athens Olympics will be held from 14 to 28 August.
The men's and women's basketball teams are played on alternate days.
The group stage will take place at the indoor stadium at Athens' Eileniconro Airport, which has a capacity of 15,600 spectators.
The 9-11 contests, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will be held from 24 to 28 August at the Olympic Indoor Stadium, which has a capacity of 19,200 spectators, at the main venue of the Athens Olympic Games.
The Chinese men's basketball Olympic Games competition schedule is as follows:
15 August, 14:30, against Spain;
17 August, 9:00 a.m., against New Zealand;
August 19, 20:00, against Argentina;
21 August, 16:45, against Italy;
23 August, 16:45, against Serbia and Montenegro.
On August 14, the Chinese men's basketball team first went to the venue to watch the game between the Chinese women's basketball team and the South Korean women's basketball team, and the Chinese women's basketball team finally won the game 71:54, giving the Chinese men's basketball team a sample.
Zhu Fangyu pouted: "Who can't win against South Korea......"
Lu Fei glanced at him and smiled: "What?" Tomorrow to play Spain, no confidence? ”
"......" Zhu Fangyu.
"I heard that the gymnastics team is coming to see ......," Lu Fei said to himself.
“???” Zhu Fangyu immediately came to the spirit: "What's wrong with Spain?" Spain doesn't wear our Chinese Li-Ning jersey the same, and tomorrow I will kill him in minutes. ”
In fact, not only Zhu Fangyu, even domestic media experts are full of worries about the schedule of the Chinese team, although the Chinese men's basketball team has four NBA players this year, but three of the four players are big men, and the role overlaps greatly, plus the overall strength of European basketball is two grades higher than that of Asia, which is the reason why the media and experts are not optimistic.
On August 15, the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and Spain will begin.
