Chapter 500: The Rio Olympics
……
After lingering, Su Mei lay in Tang Shuai's arms like a child.
"Why didn't you say a word to me when you came back?" A small voice came from Tang Shuai's arms.
"I know you're busy right now, and I want to surprise you a little." Tang Shuai stroked Su Mei's back and said.
"Hmm." Su Mei hugged Tang Shuai tighter.
"By the way, I got you a sachet." After a while, Su Mei suddenly raised her head and said.
"Sachets?" Tang Shuai looked at Su Mei suspiciously.
"Hmm." Su Mei nodded, wrapped herself in a bath towel, got up and took out a sachet from the drawer, handed it to Tang Shuai and said, "At this time, I asked someone I knew in China to find a sachet that is very effective in repelling mosquitoes, you can bring it when you go to Rio, there is a Seka virus over there, you must bring it with you." ”
"You asked someone to find it in China?" Tang Shuai looked at Su Mei suspiciously.
Su Mei nodded and said, "This is authentic, I tried it, the mosquito repellent effect is very good, and it helps sleep, it should be useful for you." ”
Tang Shuai couldn't control the emotion in his heart, Su Mei was so busy that she was still thinking about him, she still asked someone to find it in China, and she had tried it herself, and she really couldn't be moved by this goodness.
He got up and took the sachet, then hugged Su Mei in his arms, and asked gently, "Do you still have the strength?" ”
……
On July 28, U.S. time, after finishing the second warm-up match with the U.S. team, Tang Shuai and the members of the national team stepped on the plane to Rio together.
The plane shuttled between the clouds, and the team members were also worried, because of the Seka virus, many athletes have withdrawn from the Olympics, including the United States team, with whom they just finished the warm-up game, George also withdrew at the last moment.
This is enough to show the seriousness of the Seka virus, but it also means an unprecedented opportunity, the exit of elite athletes also means that the opponent has become weaker, and the weaker opponent means that the possibility of creating history has increased by one point.
Brazil and the United States are located in North and South America, but Mexico is also separated by two countries, and after a few hours of flying over the clouds, the flight attendant quickly alerts the plane to Brazil.
Tang Shuai looked down at the sachet hanging on his chest, and then turned his head to look out the window.
Brazil is the fifth largest country in the country, but also the seventh largest economy in the world, although it is a developing country, but it occupies a pivotal position in the world, and it is one of the world's powerhouses in sports, especially football and basketball, football is the world's top level.
After flying through Brazil for some time, the plane soon began to descend as it whistled through the clouds.
Brazil, as the largest country in South America, has a lot of tourist attractions, such as Rio, where they are going to land now, there are several famous attractions.
At this time, you can see through the window of the machine, a nearly 40-meter-high cement sculpture of Jesus standing on the top of a hill in the middle of the city, overlooking the entire city of Rio with open arms, like a messenger from the divine realm, with an indescribable sense of sacredness.
This is Brazil's most famous attraction, one of the Eight Wonders of the World, Monte Cristo.
The players of the national team couldn't help but let out a burst of amazement, one by one they looked out the window, even Tang Shuai had an expression of amazement, for this young national team, most of them were visiting Brazil for the first time, and the visual impact brought by this most famous attraction was absolutely shocking.
"I'll take you to see Iguazu Falls when I'm done with the game, it's even more spectacular than what I'm looking at." Gong Luming saw the excitement of the team members and spoke.
Iguazu Falls is the widest waterfall in the world, with a drop of more than 70 meters, and it is said that the roar of the waterfall can be heard from more than 20 kilometers away.
Hearing Gong Luming say this, the excitement in the eyes of the team members became even stronger.
"Gong Dao, you have to talk about it." Guo Allen opened his throat and shouted.
"You kid." Gong Luming said with a smile, "I don't have anything to say. ”
As soon as they heard what Gong Luming said, the team members immediately let out a burst of cheers.
Amid the cheers, the plane whizzed down and finally landed at Rio de Janeiro International Airport.
This time for the Olympic Games, the National Sports Bureau attached great importance to it, and specially asked experts to design breathable long-sleeved trousers for all team members.
As soon as the plane landed, under the guidance of the staff, the team members put on their equipment, took their luggage, and quickly went out from the exit.
"Tang Shuai! Tang Shuai! ”
As soon as they went out of the exit, before they saw the organizing committee's car, they saw the national team fans squatting outside the airport.
To be precise, it should be Tang Shuai's fans, there are Chinese in every country, Brazil, as the fifth most populous country in the world, is naturally indispensable to Chinese, although the scorching sun is overhead, but it can't stop their enthusiasm at all.
The faces of the players were all uncontrollable excitement, because of Tang Shuai's relationship, the attention they received was qualitatively improved compared to the Asian Championships.
Because of the fear of the Seka virus, the national team did not allow the players to contact the fans this time, and Tang Shuai could only wave to the fans.
The cheers of the fans were even louder.
After greeting the fans, Tang Shuai and his teammates from the national team got on the special bus for the Olympic Games and prepared to go to the Olympic Village.
Every Olympic Games has its own Olympic Village, and Brazil is no exception.
After arriving at the Olympic Village, Tang Shuai did not enter the stadium with his teammates immediately, and after greeting Gong Luming, he met with Duffy, and then attended the local public welfare activities.
Duffy is a far-sighted economic man, and now Tang Shuai has accumulated a lot of popularity in China and the United States, and he will not easily miss such a good publicity opportunity for the Brazilian Olympics this time.
The Seca virus has inevitably caused panic in Brazil, and the severity of the epidemic has affected fans watching the Games, and although the Olympic Organising Committee has been emphasizing that officials will take measures to prevent mosquitoes, it has not been able to dispel some of the concerns of fans.
The main reason for this is that the Brazilian economy, affected by the global economic crisis, the Brazilian government's financial situation in recent years is not ideal, and even once affected the preparation for the Olympic Games, and it was rumored that London was ready to succeed Rio to host the Olympic Games.
Although the Rio Olympics were held as scheduled, there are still a glimpse from these rumors, the Brazilian government wants to use this Olympics to drive the national economy, but this has just become one of the people's troubled willingness, no one wants to watch the games, but in the end they were infected with the virus, which is definitely not worth the loss.
This public welfare activity is a fundraising activity carried out by the Brazilian government to dispel the concerns of citizens.
In order to maximize the impact of the event, most of the sports stars who participated in this charity event were some of the most influential Brazilian sports stars, including the famous Brazilian footballer Ricardo Izeksson dos Santos Reit, Brazilian women's basketball guard Tamara Abalde, and Brazilian women's volleyball captain Fabiana Claudino all appeared at the event.
And Tang Shuai came to participate, which was arranged by Duffy later.
The event soon began, with the sports stars taking the stage one by one, giving a few simple speeches, encouraging fans to trust the Brazilian government, to take precautions for everyone, and to promise how much money they would donate.
Tang Shuai appeared relatively late, and when he appeared on the stage, the cheers on the scene were obviously smaller.
Brazilians' favorite sport is football, which can be seen from the emergence of Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and other world-renowned football stars, compared to basketball is much inferior, NBA's influence in Brazil is relatively limited, naturally few people know Tang Shuai, a rookie, even if he led the team to eliminate the Warriors.
"I'm glad that the organizing committee invited me to participate in this event, as a member of the Olympic Games, I feel extremely honored, the Rio Olympics is a global sports feast......" Tang Shuai read a long paragraph according to the script, and the response of the fans below was not too high, only some basketball fans who knew him would cheer.
However, when Tang Shuai said the last sentence, the scene suddenly fell into a state of restlessness.
"In order to help the Olympic Committee better organize the games, I have decided to donate $2 million to the Olympic Committee to enhance the safety and security of fans."
Two million dollars!
Tang Shuai felt a pain when he read out this string of numbers, knowing that this was equal to his rookie salary for a year, but he believed in Duffy's decision.
As soon as this number came out, the hosts were stunned for a moment, because the amount of donation was set by the players themselves, and they didn't know in advance.
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, you mean you're going to donate 2 million, dollars?" The moderator asked uncertainly.
"yes, two million dollars, I'm just a rookie right now, and I only get two million a year, so that's all I can do." Tang Shuai nodded and said.
After saying this, the scene suddenly erupted in a burst of excited cheers, louder than any of the previous stars when they appeared on the court.
$2 million! Tang Shuai, a foreigner, is willing to donate such a huge sum of money for the Olympic Games in Brazil, and it is also his salary for one year!
It's just all it takes, what a touch it must be!
Kaka on the sidelines bowed his head a little sneeringly, as the most influential football superstar in Brazil, the amount he donated for this event was only one million, you must know that his annual income is hundreds of millions!
Everything is most afraid of comparison, and when compared, Tang Shuai's image instantly became extremely tall.
The fans began to exchange ears after cheering, and some people who had not paid much attention began to ask the people around them who were the people who had poured all the money into it.
Soon, Tang Shuai's name has been known by all the fans in the audience through this way of word of mouth.
At the same time, reporters and media on the sidelines also rushed to take pictures, and it is believed that in the near future, the reports about this public welfare event will become overwhelming.
Duffy looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with a smile on his face, the effect brought by 2 million dollars is definitely worth the money!
