At 23 o'clock on August 22, Athens time, and at 4 a.m. on August 23, the final of the men's 100 meters of the Athens Olympics will begin.

The men's 100m sprint final is the last race of the day, and it is also the finale. Tens of thousands of spectators sat for hours, mostly waiting for the 100-meter trapeze battle, while more people stayed by the TV, waiting for the birth of a new 100-meter trapeze.

11 p.m. in Athens in southern Europe and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Western Europe, which is a good time to watch TV; On the other side of the Atlantic, it happens to be a weekend afternoon in the United States, and people are preparing all kinds of snacks and waiting in front of the TV; Only far east, but it is already the most sleepy time in the early morning, thinking that it will work normally from the daytime, so even if one program and five programs broadcast the game at the same time, few people are willing to get up from their beds to watch.

For this 100-meter final, the Europeans are more to watch the excitement, while the Americans have been waiting for a long time. The American flyers have a monopoly on the 100m world record and have won the 100m in successive Olympic titles, and this time all three of the American athletes made it to the final, so the American audience believes that they have booked the Olympic gold medal.

Americans have always liked this kind of speed competition, and the broadcast time of the game is right, coupled with the strong enough athletes of the American team, so that the Americans have given great attention to the men's 100-meter sprint final of the Olympic Games, and the ratings of the broadcaster have risen sharply, and it is approaching the Super Bowl.

In an upscale villa complex on the outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, fourteen-year-old Seth Curry walked into the living room from the yard and saw his brother Stephen Curry sitting in front of the TV.

"My brother didn't even go to practice!" Seth Curry stepped forward with a puzzled expression, only to find that the Olympic men's 100m final was being broadcast live on TV. ”

The Curry brothers' father used to be an NBA player and just retired two years ago, and the Curry brothers have also practiced basketball since they were young, which can be regarded as a son inheriting their father's business. But at the moment, it seems that the two brothers have not shown much basketball talent, and even the sixteen-year-old Stephen Curry is already a very good three-point shooter. But in this era of muscle dominance, the skinny body of the Curry brothers is obviously not favored by scouts.

On the TV, the athletes are already standing on the starting line, and the narrator begins to introduce the athletes.

The first is Barbados athlete Obadeli Thompson, who is the weakest of the eight athletes, and the camera is only given a short five seconds to the next person. The second is Ghanaian athlete Aziz Ariza, and the commentator did not introduce him much, and the camera also flashed by.

The athlete in the third lane wears a white vest with the three big letters "USA" on the front and is none other than Justin Gatlin of the United States. And the replay clearly gave the American a face-saving shot, giving Justin Gatlin a ten-second close-up of his face.

This is Justin Gatlin, who's only 22 years old, the youngest of the three U.S. team athletes, won the 2002 U.S. Indoor 100m, 200m and outdoor 200m! In 2003, he won the IAAF Golden League in Zurich. ”

The narrator's voice was heard on TV, but the Curry brothers didn't show much excitement. At this time, Justin Gatlin was not well-known, and the Curry brothers were not familiar with him.

In the fourth lane is another American player, Sean Crawford. The organizers of the Olympics lined up the two American athletes, apparently giving the American team a great deal of care.

"Sean Crawford, the 2001 World Indoor Championships 200m champion, is at the age of 26 and we expect him to do well in the 200m races!"

"In the fifth lane is Portugal's Francis Obikwiru, who is originally from Nigeria and later naturalized in Portugal. He was also the only athlete from a European country in the final! ”

While the commentator introduced Obikviru, there was a warm cheer in the stadium, and it was clear that as a European athlete, even if he was a naturalized player, he still received the most enthusiastic shouts from the European audience.

After giving Obi Keviru enough footage, the broadcast moved on to the next athlete. When Seth Curry saw that it was an athlete in a black vest, he complained in disappointment: "Why isn't it Morris Green!" ”

"Don't worry, the next one is!" Stephen Curry spoke.

The narrator didn't give much ...... to the future world No. 1 flyer, and the camera quickly shifted to the next athlete, as defending champion Maurice Green was the next in lane seven.

The stadium resounded with cheers no less than Obikviru, and the crowd was still very satisfied with the defending champions. And the Curry brothers in front of the TV were also excited.

Maurice Green, who won the double World Championships in 1999 and broke the men's 100m world record at the time, and won a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, has long been hailed as a hero in American track and field. In the United States, Morris Green is no less well-known than the top stars of the big four leagues.

"Stephen, I guess Maurice Green is going to win the championship." Seth Curry spoke.

Stephen Curry nodded, clearly agreeing with his brother's idea.

The broadcast screen has been staring at Morris Green, and the commentator is also gushing about Morris Green, until most of the group, and only at the end of the group reluctantly moved to the left, giving the athlete of lane eight.

"Yellow people!" Stephen Curry's eyes suddenly widened in front of the TV, black people have dominated the 100-meter dash for more than ten years, and the top seven athletes in the camera are all black people with darker skin tones than Curry, and the other skin tones that suddenly appeared made Curry feel a little out of place in the picture.

"How is this possible? A yellow man, how did he get into the Olympic 100-meter final? Seth Curry was equally surprised. He has been training basketball since he was a child, and the partners he trains with are mostly black, there are many Hispanic mixed-race people, and there are relatively few whites, and as for the yellow people in school, they are not good at sports, but are more interested in participating in some study groups.

The narrator's voice also came at this time: "In eighth place is Guan-Zhang, an eighteen-year-old from China. He holds the current Asian men's 100m record. ”

"This stupid narrator. According to the Chinese name, he should be called Zhang Guan. Chinese have the surname in front and the first name in the back. Stephen Curry said.

"Stephen, this Chinese is only two years older than you." Seth Curry spoke.

Stephen Curry had a very unwilling expression on his face, and he understood what Seth Curry meant. The Chinese, who is only two years older than him, has already stood on the stage of the Olympic 100m final, competing with world-class players such as Morris Green, while Stephen Curry is still worried about the playing time of the varsity team.

Among players of Stephen Curry's age, Derrick Rose has been the subject of media attention; Russell Westbrook has also made a name for himself; Oak Hill High School's Kevin Durant has the prospect of making this year's All-American team for high school seniors; The Lopez brothers, the Californian twins, were given the opportunity to camp Adi, and Kevin Love was hailed as the best high school student at the time; As for Greg Oden, no one is going to compare that monster to a high school student. But when it comes to Stephen Curry, the only thing that comes to mind is Dell Curry's son.

Thinking about the evaluation of the coach to himself, Stephen Curry shook his head in disappointment, compared to his peers, he has no physical advantage, he is too thin, if it weren't for the coach of the varsity team who knew his father, maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to play.

"Hey, maybe I'm not fit for basketball at all!" Stephen Curry smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned his gaze to the TV in front of him.

……

"Hello everyone. Now live for you is the final of the men's 100m in athletics at the 28th Olympic Games. It is worth mentioning that China's athlete Zhang Guan has entered the men's 100-meter final for the first time, which is an unprecedented and major breakthrough in China's sports industry. However, in the final of the Olympic 100 meters, it is still very difficult for Zhang Guan to win a medal, in fact, Zhang Guan can enter the final, which has made history, so here, we also wish Zhang Guan good results. ”

The narrator's tone seemed very calm, after all, it was more than four o'clock in the morning in China, and the narrator had also worked for more than 20 hours in a row, and it would be false to say that he was not tired. But as a professional commentator, he still tried to cheer up his spirits and not let the audience hear his fatigue.

However, at the competition site in Athens, although it was late at night, the audience was as excited as ever, this will be the last competition in the track and field field today, and it is also the most exciting competition in the entire track and field event.

Eight athletes stood on the starting gear, their faces solemn, waiting for the starting gun to sound.

Jamaican flyer Powell, who is in lane six, is very nervous, and although Powell is also a very experienced athlete, he will still feel nervous in the Olympic final.

The two Americans, Gatlin and Crawford, started side by side, but there was no verbal communication between them, and they knew that they were each other's biggest rivals, so they simply remained silent.

Defending champion Maurice Green, on the other hand, looked a little more solemn, and he could feel that his physical strength had not fully recovered to his peak condition, and the semi-finals had consumed too much of his energy, and it was probably difficult for him to run under 9.8 seconds at his current physical level. But he still has to challenge for the title.

As for Zhang Guan, who is in full form, of course, he is full of confidence at this time, and he even can't wait for the game to start as soon as possible.

“Onyourmarks……”

At this point, the starter finally gave the order to prepare.
