The triple jump qualification round is over, and there are no other competitions going on in the nest. Next up is the men's 110m hurdles, but it won't start until after 11 o'clock.

The audience also took a short break, and many people shouted hoarse in the game just now, and it was time to drink a little water to win and eat a throat lozenge to relieve some relief

"Zhang Guan really still advanced, and he was the first to advance in the qualifying round!"

"This is the first time I've seen Zhang Guan compete in the triple jump, and I was a little worried that Zhang Guan wouldn't be able to qualify."

"I'm not worried, Zhang Guan is the Asian record holder in the triple jump, and he will definitely qualify for the qualifying round, but I didn't expect him to be able to jump so far and create a personal best."

"I think Zhang Guan has the potential to win the triple jump final!"

"It may be a little difficult to win the championship, after all, this is the Olympic Games, the level of the players is generally relatively high, and there may be people who can jump more than 17.70 meters in the finals, and Zhang Guan is still a lot of distance from this result."

"Even if you don't win a gold medal, it's not bad to win a medal! Maybe Zhang Guan can play at a super level? Don't forget that Zhang Guan is the best person at creating miracles. ”

……

In the midst of the discussion, Zhang Guan left the field early and returned to the locker room. Even the interviews of CCTV reporters were conducted while walking. Because Zhang Guan also has to participate in the game between the men's basketball team and the Greek team in the afternoon.

"The basketball game against Greece is half past two in the afternoon, do you want to go to Wukesong Basketball Arena now, or will you go back later?" Director Yu asked.

Zhang Guan thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's go now!" ”

"Now? It's about to be the 110-meter hurdles race, aren't you ready to watch Liu Feiren's game before leaving? Director Yu said with a smile.

Zhang Guan sighed, although he was looking forward to the change of history and the occurrence of a miracle in his heart, he still couldn't bear to stay, and he couldn't bear to see the lonely figure of Liu Feiren when he left.

"I still have to have lunch, and I have to listen to Coach Younas arrange tactics in advance, and after all, it is dozens of miles to go to Wukesong Basketball Hall, and I am also worried about traffic jams on the road." Zhang Guan casually made an excuse.

"Oh, then you should go early!" Yu Gui said this, but in his heart, he wondered how Zhang Guan could worry about traffic jams even though he had a helicopter transfer.

……

Soon after, in the last group of the 110-meter hurdles, someone rushed to the first shot, but Liu Feiren stopped in front of the first hurdle. He tore off the race number he had just pasted, crumpled it with his hands, got up and slowly walked out of the field, back to the rest passage. The spectators on the sidelines of the arena were dumbfounded, while the spectators in the distance didn't know what was happening. There was silence at the scene, and people were still comforting themselves that their "flyers" were just going back to pick up something they had forgotten.

But Liu Feiren did not return to the arena, and at this time, the live announcer said in a deep voice: "Audience friends, Liu Feiren, a Chinese player in the second runway, had to give up the race due to injury. After the audience of more than 90,000 people exclaimed, the nest suddenly became silent, and people just stood like this, saying that they were not waiting for anything. They couldn't believe what was in front of them, many couldn't stop crying, and the rest of the athletes finished the race on the 110-meter hurdles with no one cheering, no one cheering, and no one even noticing their presence.

This is sad news for viewers in China. But fortunately, Zhang Guan successfully qualified in all three events this morning, and broke the world record in the 100m two days ago, which gave some comfort to the audience and made the audience feel better.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of Zhang Guan that Liu Feiren is no longer the "only" of Chinese track and field, so he is under a lot less pressure, and the public opinion does not have too sharp responsibilities and too fierce criticism for Liu Feiren's withdrawal, almost all of them are based on comfort and encouragement, and everyone is looking forward to Liu Feiren's return to the field.

……

Zhang Guan rushed to Wukesong Stadium to participate in the men's basketball team against the Greek team, and in the distant United States, on the first day of the Olympic basketball game, there have been people who have been silently watching Zhang Guan, such as NBA scouts.

Although it is the NBA's offseason, for NBA scouts, the Olympics is their busiest time, and there will be many excellent players in each Olympics, some of whom have been selected by the NBA, but have not yet had the opportunity to enter the NBA; Some have participated in the NBA draft but have been undrafted; Some don't have the opportunity to participate in the NBA draft; And some are about to participate in the NBA draft in the future.

For any basketball player, it is their dream to enter the NBA, some players dominate the domestic league, but in the NBA they are just a water cooler administrator, but even so, as long as there is an opportunity, they still flock to the NBA.

For NBA teams, international players may be much better than rookies drafted in the United States, and the rookies drafted will have to go through several years of experience to gain a foothold in the fierce NBA, and many international players are some instant combat power, as long as they adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game a little to be able to contribute to the team.

In this year's Olympics, scouts focus on the Spanish team, Mark Gasol was selected by the NBA second round 48th position last year, generally speaking, it is difficult for this pick to play in the NBA, but in the Olympics, Mark Gasol is now showing strength that can definitely reach the level of normal NBA rotation players, not to mention that in this era of scarcity of traditional centers, Mark Gasol is a rare animal, and will naturally attract the attention of scouts.

Another player of the Spanish team, "Golden Boy" Rubio, also performed very eye-catching. Before the start of the Olympics, Rubio was hailed as the top pick in the next NBA draft, ahead of Griffin. So the weak teams in the NBA league or teams that are about to enter a rebuild have sent scouts to observe Rubio's situation.

As for Zhang Guan, before the start of the Olympic basketball game, there were scouts who specially observed Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan did not play in the first game of the national team, so Zhang Guan was instantly beaten by the scouts into the ranks of giving up observation.

But then against Spain, Zhang Guan hit two crucial winning goals and put him back on the spotlight of scouts. Zhang Guan did not play in the match against Angola, and scored two winning goals again in the match against Germany. So far, Zhang Guan has only appeared in two games in total, and the total playing time is less than three minutes, which is a few rounds.

Three minutes is obviously not enough time for scouts, and even the top scouts in the NBA can't rely on three minutes of playing time and four or five offenses to form a player report. So those scouts who want to continue to observe Zhang Guan will definitely not miss the contest between the Chinese team and the Greek team.

And in addition to scouts, there is another person who is also keeping an eye on Zhang, and that is Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers.

In this year's NBA draft, the Lakers selected Zhang Guan with the No. 58 pick. Although the No. 58 pick is nothing for a giant like the Los Angeles Lakers, and even if it is thrown away, it is not distressing, Kupchak still hopes for a miracle.

The Lakers' choice of Zhang Guan in this year's NBA draft was hailed as a big failure by the American media, especially since Zhang Guan did not play at all in the first game of the Olympic Games, which made many American colleagues see jokes.

But in the Spanish team's game later, Zhang Guan scored the winning goal, which made Kupchak realize that he was very likely to pick up a treasure! (To be continued.) )
