Chapter 18 Collecting Gold in the Olympic Games
In the second week of school, Xiao Fan received a love letter, which was sent by a junior high school classmate in the fifth class of the year next door, who held a sign in the fifth class of the year.
It says it's a love letter, but it's actually a sticky note that reads, "Nice to meet you!" A smiling face was also drawn at the back, signed by Zhang Meng. Xiao Fan took a look at it and threw it away from the toilet. The female Xiao Fan also noticed it, because the one who held the sign was in front of the gymnastics during the recess exercise, and it was difficult for Xiao Fan to stand in the second row and not see it. And when Xiao Fan was playing football during recess or lunch break, he could always see this girl by the window as if she was watching him. However, Xiao Fan could only give her 80 points, and she could only say that she had just passed the beauty line. Now Xiao Fan's mind is on Jiani, so naturally he won't provoke other girls, especially from the same school.
When it comes to football, the sport is still popular on campus at the beginning of the 21st century. At recess, the playground is cut into more than a dozen small areas, and more than a dozen soccer balls fly back and forth on the playground, and you risk getting a headshot if you want to cross the playground.
The students in Xiao Fan's class play basketball more, so Xiao Fan often plays football with students in other classes, and plays more with students in class 8 or 11.
To say that Xiao Fan's football level, he has not undergone professional training, his basic skills are very poor, he can't juggle the ball twenty, and the speed can only be said to be average, but Xiao Fan's starting speed is not bad, his foot strength is okay and his foot feeling is also good, and he often practices corner kicks and free kicks alone. The most important thing is that Xiao Fan can play with his head, and his style is similar to Inzaghi's when he plays as a striker, he can always appear in a position where he can score, and because he is calm-headed, he has a very high goal rate for one-handed goals. And because of the strong desire to shoot, Xiao Fan often scores some fairy balls.
When playing in the front midfield, the pass is very penetrating and imaginative, and there is a unique ability to pick up the pass with one hand, but Xiao Fan needs to have a striker who can read Xiao Fan's pass to cooperate.
When playing at the back and at the back, he has an accurate prediction, a strong sense of position, and a quick turn, but confrontation is a weakness.
In addition, Xiao Fan also likes to study people's movements, and is good at imitation, what Cruyff turns, pedals on a bicycle, and the low-profile version of the heel clip ball pass (the ball is not from the top of the opponent's head, but from both sides of the waist), for example, Xiao Fan has developed a signature action of two pendulums and back heel knocks when facing each other.
After the age of 30 in his previous life, Xiao Fan began to guard the goal, and was known for his quick reaction to dare to make movements, often making classic saves, and his signature action was a ground boring leg, but high-altitude balls often made mistakes.
Speaking of basketball, there are more people playing basketball in the fourth class, and one of them is named Li Shuai, who is short and doesn't know much about the rules, but he just loves to play.
Because of his short stature, he hit the shooter's head with a cover when he was defending, and was nicknamed "Brain Cover". Once, when the boys in the fourth class were talking about an NBA game they watched at lunchtime, and when they talked about Iverson causing the opponent to leave the court with six fouls, Li Shuai said, "Isn't that going to be four to five." ”。
Then Caoyang High School still has a few "slam dunks", so the school's baskets are often broken, and there has been a dangerous situation where the basketball hoop is dunked, so the school later strictly ordered not to dunk.
At noon that day, Xiao Fan and Class 8 played a small field together, because they came out early, accounting for a small number of two small field goals. This goal is about the same size as a handball goal, and two people can move it without a net.
I saw that after Xiao Fan broke through from the side, he shot with a blast shot at a very small angle, and the ball hung straight into the upper corner of the near post, and the goalkeeper was stunned and did not react.
With no net in the goal, the soccer ball continued to fly out of the playground, towards the two girls strolling along the track. I saw one of the girls walking towards the landing point of the ball as if she was afraid that the ball would not hit her.
The soccer ball slammed into the girl's shoulder, and the girl fell to the ground.
"Classmate, are you okay?" Xiao Fan ran over and asked, but he was complaining in his heart, "Beauty, don't take you to touch porcelain like this." Because it was Zhang Meng, a fifth-class girl who handed Xiao Fan a few days ago, who was hit by the ball.
"How do you play, don't look at the dots." The girl next to Zhang Meng said.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Xiao Fan asked again.
"It looks like my shoulder is a little numb, can you take me to the infirmary?" Zhang Meng sat on the ground and said miserably.
"Can you get up?"
"My foot seems to be a little bent, can you help me?"
"That's not good."
Now that many people on the playground have noticed this matter, Xiao Fan dares to guarantee that if there is physical contact, this matter will reach Yu Jiani's ears in the afternoon. When the time comes, it's really yellow mud that falls into the crotch of the pants - that's, otherwise how could the yellow mud fall into the crotch.
Xiao Fan gave the girl next to Zhang Meng a look, which means why don't you help your friend.
"Oops! It occurred to me that I hadn't finished my English homework yet. The girl next to Zhang Meng left directly.
Zhang Meng looked at Xiao Fan pitifully.
"Liu Zhiyu." Xiao Fan finally saw the savior.
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhiyu ran over with a fat body trembling.
Zhang Meng sat on the ground and felt as if there was an earthquake.
"Help me take her to the infirmary."
"No, I'm fine." Zhang Meng immediately stood up.
"Zhang Meng, don't do it like this in the future, I have someone I like." Xiao Fan felt that he should still make things clear.
"Is it Yu Jiani from the first class?"
Xiao Fan nodded.
"I see, let's not take it as an example." It seems that Zhang Meng is also a bold girl.
On September 15, 2000, the Sydney Olympic Games finally opened.
The next day, on the first day of the official competition, Xiao Fan lost 500,000. Originally, Xiao Fan wanted to make a quick buck, because the first gold medal in Xiao Fan's memory of the Sydney Olympics was won by China, and this is different from Xiao Fan's previous three bets, which are basically settled when the Olympics are almost over, and the first gold will be settled as long as it is determined.
So after discovering this bet before the start of the Olympic Games, Xiao Fan immediately remitted another 500,000 yuan to the Bo/Cai account. As a result, on the first day of the competition, the Chinese team only won three silvers and one bronze, and there was no gold medal at all.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan took a stock commission of 900,000 yuan this month, and losing 500,000 yuan did not affect the repayment of bank loans that month. At that time, although the loan policy was very relaxed, if you broke the loan for more than a month, the bank would immediately repossess the property.
In fact, Xiao Fan remembered that the Chinese team won the first gold medal in the Olympic Games not in Sydney, but in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Xiao Fan wasn't sure if he remembered it wrong or if history had changed, so the next Olympics were a little trembling.
First of all, the French men's basketball team made Xiao Fan very worried, stumbling in the group stage, and the last game was to step on the corpse of the Chinese team (once 11 points behind the Chinese team with ten minutes left in the game) to qualify for the fourth place in the group, and then every game was fought until the last moment to win.
Although China has advanced by leaps and bounds in the number of gold medals in the medal list, and once ranked first in the gold medal list, the number of medals is not much more than that of Australia and Germany.
Cameroon performed well and qualified first in the group, but this list cannot be said to be stable until the end of the last game.
In the semifinals of the men's basketball team, the team that made Xiao Fan more troubled became the United States/national team, and the United States/national team and Lithuania fought until the last minute to win by two points. If Lithuania's 3-pointer is scored, it will not be the United States/national team that will enter the final. And once the United States/country does not make it to the final, then France will not be able to win the championship.
France played their most stunning game in the semi-finals, leading all the way to the final by 20 points.
In the final, the United States/national team played like constipation, and was behind the French team in the first ten minutes of the first half, although it overtook at halftime, but it fell behind again after ten minutes in the second half, and finally won the championship without danger.
So far, 5.25 million with interest has arrived, and the profit is 4.75 million, Xiao Fan immediately chose to withdraw 5 million to see if the money can be withdrawn. Fortunately, Bo/Cai Company did not pit Xiao Fan, and 5 million was successfully received the next day.
And the men's final at the Sydney Olympics was arguably the most dramatic in recent years.
The two teams that reached the final were not Brazil and Argentina, which were favored before the game, and the other team was Spain.
In the opening 1 minute and 10 seconds, Spain scored directly through a free kick, and in the fourth minute, Spain also missed a penalty. Less than a minute into the second half, Spain scored again through a quick counter-attack, and Cameroon fell behind 0-2.
At this time, Xiao Fan once again bought the remaining 250,000 in the account for 200,000 Cameroon Duping and 50,000 Cameroon Duwin.
The handicap opened in the course of the game is called in-play, and the single draw is that the game can only win money after 90 minutes of a draw, and the only win is that Cameroon must overtake Spain within 90 minutes to win.
At 0:2, the odds are quite high if the team that is behind can catch up or overtake, unless the strength of the team behind crushes the leading team, and only concedes two goals because of unexpected factors. However, judging the strength of these two teams, Bo/Cai still believes that Spain is stronger at this moment. Therefore, the odds of Cameroon solitary draw reached 11.5, and the odds of a single win were as high as 24.00.
Seeing this in the live broadcast, Xiao Fan vaguely remembered that Cameroon should have played a draw and entered overtime and did not overtake, but Xiao Fan was not very sure, so he still placed 50,000 Cameroon to win and share the risk.
Cameroon did score two goals in less than five minutes between 53 and 57 minutes to tie the score, and the rest of the time became chicken rib time, neither side dared to attack aggressively, and the game went into extra time. At this time, Xiao Fan's account had become 2.3 million.
In overtime, Xiao Fan bet on another 2 million draw, and now Xiao Fan can basically be sure that this game is a penalty shootout at the end, but the odds of a draw in overtime are not high, 2 million and another 1.2 million, a total of 3.5 million.
Penalty shootout, Xiao Van Sou / Ha Cameroon penalty win, at this time the odds of both sides to win are basically close to 1 to 2, Cameroon is slightly higher 1 to 1.92, Spain is slightly lower 1 to 1.88, indicating that at this time Bo / Cai company is still optimistic that Spain will win the championship, and the part of the odds of both sides is less than 2 is to the Bo / Cai company discount, you can understand as a handling fee.
In the end, Cameroon won the championship as scheduled, and Xiao Fan won a total of 6.47 million on the rolling plate, while the 500,000 that bought Cameroon to win the championship won 9 million for Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan withdrew 15 million, and the remaining 1.22 million was on the account.
On the last day, with the end of the last marathon, the Chinese team won 59 medals, narrowly beating Australia's 58 and Germany's 57 to achieve the best medal in history. Xiao Fan had an extra 5.38 million in his account again, which was just enough for 6.5 million, but Xiao Fan was not ready to transfer out the money for the time being. The previous withdrawal of 20 million has all been received, which proves that this company does have the strength and credit.
From the point of view of the company, it is not afraid that you will win, because there is a very simple truth, you will lose if you gamble for a long time. And the more people like Xiao Fan play tricks, the easier it is to lose money, and the real project that is a little more likely to win money is the kind of probability like guessing the size of the dice or the heads and tails of the coin, half and half, and this kind of project The dealer will generally pump at least 5%, so the final result is the banker's drought and flood income. However, Bo/Cai Company didn't know that Xiao Fan had opened an account, otherwise no one would have opened an account for him.
Xiao Fan decided to go to Europe during the winter vacation to choose a few more companies to open an account, after all, wool can not be a pickle, and sheep will bite if they are anxious.
