The Olympic flag bearer has always been a highlight of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, although not every flag bearer is a superstar, but undoubtedly represents the top level of Chinese sports at that time.

China's Olympic flag bearer has a tradition of being held by men's basketball players, and since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, this position has been monopolized by tall men's basketball players, Wang Libin in 1984, Song Tao in 1988, Song Ligang in 1992, Liu Yudong in 1996 and 2000, and Yao Ming in 2004 and 2008.

After Yao Ming retired, Yi Jianlian, the first brother of the men's basketball team, became the successor of the flag bearer, but he unfortunately met Long Shute, who had risen to prominence since 2010 and soared into the sky.

Compared with Long Shute, who became famous all over the world and even became the top athlete in January, the United Arab Emirates, nicknamed "Yi Di", has returned to the CBA from the NBA.

So he was robbed of the honor of the flag bearer, but he could only obediently accept his fate......

Fortunately, Longshute will be overage in the next Olympic Games, and no one should snatch this honor from him by then, right?

On July 27, the London 2012 Olympic Games kicked off as scheduled.

The three-hour theatrical performance encapsulates the glorious history and profound culture of the British Empire, from the industrial age with roaring machines and towering chimneys, to modern life that focuses on green environmental protection and universal medical care, from the literary giant Shakespeare to J.K. Rowling, the mother of Harry Potter, from the Beatles music that swept the world to the birthplace of modern football......

As heartthrob David Beckham drove the flame to the venue in a speedboat, seven young people lit the torch at the venue.

The question of which of the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics is more exciting than the previous one may be a matter of opinion, but for most Chinese audiences, London is not as appealing to them as the performances on their doorstep.

This was followed by a ceremony that was long enough to make you fall asleep.

Fortunately, the Chinese team ranked 42nd out of 205 delegations, otherwise it is estimated that few people will be able to hold out until Long Shute appears.

When Long Shute held the national flag and led the huge delegation to move forward slowly, the commentator of the British BBC TV still did not forget to comment a few words euphemistically:

"This is the Chinese team, their standard-bearer is the best footballer in the world, Long Shute, and I really hope that he will move to the Premier League soon, so that we can criticize him up close every week......

"China has always had a tradition of basketball players as flag bearers, and Yao was the most well-known before, but now that Long has finally broken this strange tradition, we should be happy that China has taken a big step on the road to democracy and freedom......"

"Look at their uniforms, red and yellow...... Did they make clothes out of tomatoes from their kitchen? ”

"The members of the Chinese delegation basically have valuable SLRs in their hands, and from this point of view, their economic situation is indeed much better than that of most countries in the world......

"Well, hopefully after this Olympics, we don't compare 2012 and 2008 together...... Because I don't think there is any suspense about the outcome anymore. ”

……

The British always have a sense of humor, and the BBC's comments have always been sharp and almost vicious, and this style is by no means only aimed at China, almost all the participating teams have been treated by them equally, and of course, they are the most satirized...... But it's their own homeland.

After all, the audience loves to watch this......

After the lively opening ceremony, the football match between the host United and Senegal began.

Although the official opening ceremony was only on the 27th, according to the schedule, the first match day had already been held on a few events, such as football, the day before.

Lonshit's assessment was correct, and the level of the U23s was not much different, so there were some surprises in the results of the first matchday.

Brazil, the favourites to win the tournament, battled Egypt for 90 minutes and won by a narrow 3-2 goal.

The second favorite, Spain, was beaten 1-0 by Japan, which was a big upset.

And the third favorite Great Britain...... Facing the underdog Senegal, the star-studded Sunset Legion was held to a 1-1 draw by the opposing side amid the cheers of 80,000 fans.

The unexpected draw has caused criticism for the British team, which has led to another piece of news:

Welsh rising star Gareth Bale announced a month ago that he would not be able to compete in the Olympics due to injury, but a week before the Games, he played for Tottenham Hotspur on a commercial tour in North America!

All of a sudden, the Welshman, who gradually entered the ranks of stars by beating Inter Milan in the Champions League, was suddenly pushed to the forefront of public opinion, liar, traitor, traitor, and disgrace...... All sorts of hats snapped on his head for the first time.

Even FIFA President Sepp Blatter was so shocked that he immediately assigned a special team to investigate, ready to severely punish the unpatriotic little monkey, such as getting him banned worldwide......

If Bale had been born in China, he would most likely have disappeared from the world of sports, and he would not have needed Blatter's ban at all, and the overwhelming saliva would have been enough to break his spirit......

Fortunately, the Welsh Football Association protected Bale at this time, and they rejected Blatter's investigation and gave a plausible reason that quickly calmed the storm.

While the British media was still digging into Bale's fraud incident, Ronshette had just stepped onto the field, and he would lead the Chinese Olympic team to the first round of the group stage against Uruguay.

"Dear dragon, I'm so glad to see you grow so strong!"

"If I'm not mistaken, last year, you laughed at me for bullying schoolchildren for participating in the Olympics, why did you come to London yourself?"

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, I recently learned two lines of poetry, which has had a huge impact on my soul, do you want me to read it to you?"

In the players' tunnel, Chinese captain Long Shute, who was at the forefront, chatted passionately with Uruguayan captain Suarez.

They have a two-and-a-half-season friendship at Ajax, where they have been through the lows together and brought the team to the top together, and they have tasted all the ups and downs together, and although they are now going their separate ways, the relationship does not fade easily.

"You're not doing well at Liverpool, Luiz, and you haven't been able to qualify for the Champions League this season."

In fact, Longshut really wants to be able to play against his friends on the European stage - the camaraderie and the sense of competition are not contradictory.

Suarez also looked depressed:

"No way, although Dalglish is great, his philosophy is a bit out of place, and now that the manager has changed, the team's tactical style of play has to be re-run......"

Liverpool finished eighth in the Premier League last season and lost to Champions League runners-up Chelsea in the FA Cup final, but they were able to secure their place in the Europa League.

Sadly, the mere trophy of the English League Cup has already made Liverpool fans happy – because it is the only trophy that the team has won since the 2006 FA Cup!

And the prize money for this League Cup winner is not even as much as a month's salary for Lonshit......

It is really embarrassing that the former European champion has now fallen into such a state.

"Go to bed, Louis, I'm not going to show mercy!"

Ronshit patted Suarez on the shoulder, ending the conversation between the two men.

Suarez quickly recovered from his disappointment at the club's predicament, baring his snow-white teeth and his eyes shining brightly:

"I don't mind teaching you a lesson, the best player in the Champions League, the World Ballon d'Or."

The two men looked at each other for a moment, then stretched out their fists at the same time, punched each other hard, and then trotted onto the ring.

"Drop!"

The race is on!
