Harris's anger is not without reason, and the Olympic Village in Athens now resembles an unfinished construction site, with sand and cement piled all over the venue, and some roads not even paved with asphalt.

The bathroom door of the dormitory where the Chinese delegation lived had not had time to be installed, and it was a refugee camp for Harris, who was accustomed to living in the United States.

I heard that the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee was forced to have no choice, and a group of workers from China have been invited to meet the deadline.

On August 9, all the members of the Chinese delegation arrived and held a flag-raising ceremony, compared with the judo and track and field delegations that came later, the men's basketball team is obviously used to the embarrassment of the Athens Olympic Village.

The Olympic Village is basically Western food, the calories are enough, and the beef and mutton are okay, but many foods are indeed not the taste of Chinese athletes.

Chinese athletes are not squeamish, but if they eat wrong, their appetite will definitely decrease, which will inevitably affect the quality of training and competition.

Seriously, it's really not about picking your nose at the host, and people don't bother to do it...... Forget it, just cover it like this broken chicken, and it takes a fart effort.

However, not eating well will definitely affect the performance of athletes, especially weightlifting, which relies on strength to eat, and it is impossible for athletes to come to the Olympic Village for two weeks only to find that they are hungry and thin, and they could have participated in the heavyweight class, but when they turned around, they went directly to the lightweight division.

Daddy, this is!

The men's basketball team immediately told the weightlifting team and judo team about the method they had recently figured out.

When Lu Fei was in China, they thought about the problem of eating, eating is a small matter and a big thing, and they can't be sloppy at all, so they brought a lot of food from China in advance, including instant noodles, mustard, canned meat, and so on. Of course, these packaged frozen foods are not enough to make up for their physical energy, and some of the food is not very fresh after long-distance consignment, so they have to purchase a little locally as a supplement.

Definitely can not buy local food, because you are not used to eating, you can only buy some raw materials, buy things to strive for cheap and good, for example, chicken is nutritious, Chinese love to eat, the price is cheap, buy back to cook a little cooking will be full of fragrance, both to supplement calories and relieve hunger.

This is all the experience of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past few days.

Many of the Chinese delegation are masters of cooking, and when the Chinese delegation organizes its own meals, many foreign athletes are "salivating" at the sight of this, and some even follow suit, and the "Chinese food fever" has become a unique scenery in the Olympic Village.

Eating is not the worst thing.

Located in the northwestern part of Athens, far from the city centre, the Olympic Village is tranquil and tranquil, but the distance from the training venue makes it even more time-consuming.

"The Olympic Village is too far away from some of the competition venues, and we feel a little inconvenient." Yuan Weimin, the leader of the delegation, told reporters, "It is almost more than 20 minutes away from the main venue, and there are not many shuttle buses, some sports teams, such as shooting, rowing, sailing and windsurfing competitions are far away, and it may take more than 50 minutes to return to the station after training and competition. ”

Athletes who go abroad to compete can almost overcome the food and housing, but they are afraid of catching a cold, and they dare not take medicine after a cold, for fear of taking illegal drugs by mistake, and in most cases they can only stand up, which is really miserable.

Although the problem has arisen, it is not really difficult in the eyes of the well-informed members of the Chinese Olympic delegation.

"We have reflected on this problem, but the fait accompli cannot be changed, we have to find a way to overcome it ourselves!" Yuan Weimin frowned, "I told the team members that they can bring more clothes during training, and put them on first after getting in the car." After all, the weather in Athens was not as hot as we expected,"

He pointed to the suit on his body, "wearing a coat will not cause heat stroke".

Lu Fei thought to himself, where is the Athens Olympics here to compete, is it completely here to cross the catastrophe?

Harris is obviously used to this kind of life now, and Lu Fei also came up with the idea of hanging a curtain on his bathroom door.

It finally gave Harris a sense of security.

After training that day, as soon as they returned to the station, Lu Fei and Yao Ming received a notice that Yuan Weimin, the head of the Chinese Olympic delegation, was looking for them.

Lu Fei and Yao Ming came directly to Yuan Weimin's room, Yuan Weimin was waiting for them in the room, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly motioned for them to sit down.

"Head Yuan, I heard that you are looking for us." Yao Ming said solemnly.

Yuan Weimin in front of him is not only the head of the Olympic delegation, but also the director of the General Administration of Sports of China.

Yuan Weimin smiled and said, "Look at the way you are sweating profusely, are you going to train again, remember what I said, wear an extra coat." ”

Lu Fei and Yao Ming nodded.

They didn't know what Yuan Weimin asked them to do, so they could only sit there stiffly, waiting for the big guy to speak.

Yuan Weimin didn't grind, and went straight to the point and said: "Actually, there is nothing else to do when I came to you today, but there is one thing I want to ask for your opinions." ”

"You say ......"

"You also know that every national delegation must have a flag bearer when entering the opening ceremony, and the flag bearer of our Chinese Olympic delegation has always been selected from the men's basketball players, whether it is Wang Libin, Song Tao, or Song Ligang and Liu Yudong in the past two years, the tradition of men's basketball players as the flag bearer of the Chinese Olympic delegation has not changed, so this time we still hope to select a person from the men's basketball team to serve as the flag bearer, the meaning of the delegation is to choose from the two of you, I want to ask you, Who wants to be the flag bearer this time? ”

Lu Fei: "......"

It's good that you should be the leader of this kind of thing, how can there be such a consultation.

In fact, I don't blame Yuan Weimin for being embarrassed, originally they were set to Yao Ming, but Lu Fei's external image is better, and Lu Fei's hot popularity during this period has already covered up the unpleasant things in the Basketball Association last year, so they are entangled in the middle of the two candidates.

Lu Fei and Yao Ming glanced at each other.

"Brother Yao, why don't you come......" Lu Fei pushed the errand to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming shook his head, "You are handsome, you come, this is a matter of image." ”

"It's a fact that I'm handsome, but people are looking at the national flag, not my face, you are tall, and others can see it when you hold the flag, which is more conspicuous."

"No, no, no, you're more suitable."

"It's still you."

Yuan Weimin was stunned, it was originally a beauty difference, but when it came to the mouths of the two people, it seemed that they didn't want to do it.

"Stop, stop, stop......" Yuan Weimin waved his hand: "Don't be humble either, Lu Fei will be the flag bearer this year, and when the 08 Olympics come, the flag bearer will let Yao Ming do it, so it's decided......"

Lu Fei and Yao Ming looked at each other and smiled, they guessed that the leader had already made a decision when Yuan Weimin said it, but in order not to let the team members have a gap in their hearts, they would put things on the table and discuss with them, since they have already been arranged, the two of them have nothing to say.

Walking out of Yuan Weimin's office, Yao Ming smiled: "Congratulations, now you are going to be famous." ”

Lu Fei smiled bitterly, there was always a feeling of loss, how beautiful it was to be the flag bearer at the door of the 08 Olympics, in this broken place where birds don't, who to show as a flag bearer......
