Chapter 220

Since some Chinese athletes entered the final, the men's 400m medley competition has attracted much attention. Central TV broadcast the whole competition live, and the swimming team is also looking forward to Wu Peng's performance.

Wu Peng's time in the preliminaries was 21:[-].

This result reached the finals, and it is difficult to get a very good ranking. According to the results of previous men's 400-meter medley finals, it is at most sixth or seventh, but that is also a pretty good result.

"What if Wu Peng performs better? He is a big-time player!"

Team leader Wang Minghao thought so, and coach Zhu Wanggen also thought so. They were all looking forward to Wu Peng's results.

But after the men's 400-meter medley, Wang Minghao and Zhu Wanggen's complexions turned dark, and the complexions of other related people were not much better. They even felt that the swimming team had lost their adults, especially in front of the national audience. Some hope that Wu Peng will not enter the final.

Wu Peng got a very poor result compared to the final - 27 in [-]:[-].

No.1 is the star player Phelps from the United States. He broke his own world record with a score of 2:[-], two seconds more than No.[-]. Suspense won the championship.

No.7 is Brian Johns from Canada, his score is 15:[-].

Wu Peng's time was 27:[-].

From the results point of view, I also know why Wang Minghao, Zhu Wanggen and others are uncomfortable... Wu Peng is 7 seconds slower than No.12, and this result is also a full six seconds slower than the preliminaries.

When the Canadian swimmer Brian Johns reached the finish line, almost all the audience and all the cameras were pointing at Wu Peng. a certain amount of time.

"The last one is Chinese player Wu Peng, he is really slow..."

Some foreign reporters couldn't wait to go up to interview, but Wu Peng made them have to delay for more than ten seconds.

These ten seconds became the most embarrassing moment!
Wu Peng, who is the one being followed, also felt very bad. It was something to be happy to enter the finals, but he didn't expect that there was such a big gap between himself and his opponents.

After the game was over, Wu Peng said bitterly in an interview, "Today's form is too bad, I don't feel like yesterday's game at all. But the opponents are very strong is also a reason. I kept rushing at the beginning, but I still competed with others. animal."

Wu Peng didn't say much, but he still had complaints in his heart.

Yesterday, Wang Jian followed suit to warm up. After a set of movements, he was in surprisingly good condition. That is the feeling of really wanting to perform well. I don’t know what happened, but today there is no Wang Jian.

In the morning, Wu Peng also asked the coach Zhu Wanggen. Zhu Wanggen said that Wang Jian was invited by Wang Minghao, and he didn't know the reason.

Zhu Wanggen was also unwilling to say more.

As a coach of a swimming team, he is very resistant to Wang Jian coaching his athletes, saying that his peers are enemies and they are not peers, but when Wang Jian coaches his athletes, they become peers. When it comes to the competition, his own Athletes listen to each other more than they listen to themselves, and it can be uncomfortable to think about it.

Zhu Wanggen was a little happy that Wang Jian didn't come.

When he heard Wu Peng's question, he suddenly became a little upset again.

Zhu Wanggen didn't want to say more, and Wu Peng had no choice. He could only follow the normal route to prepare for the competition. If he was not in good condition, he only got this little result.

In fact, Wu Peng's results were the same during normal training. He didn't perform too badly, but people have pursuits. With good results in the preliminaries, it would be unacceptable to have such a big difference in the finals.

Wu Peng didn't get good grades, it was just the beginning.

During this day, the swimming team was also eliminated in two other events. Liu Weijia failed to enter the second round of the men's medley 200m preliminaries, while Ouyang Kunpeng was eliminated in the 100m backstroke event.

Male athletes are underperforming, and female athletes are not much better.

Zhanzhu is a highly anticipated female swimmer. She participated in two events in succession in the morning and the next day—the 100-meter backstroke and the 200-meter backstroke. Among them, the 100-meter backstroke did not perform well and she failed to enter the second round. The 200-meter backstroke Also entered by stepping on the promotion line.

Fortunately, the swimming team has ace player Luo Xuejuan. In the women's 100-meter breaststroke preliminaries in the afternoon, she entered the semi-finals with a strong score of No. 1, so that the swimming team did not encounter the embarrassment of almost being "annihilated".

The results of each swimmer caused Wang Minghao a lot of headaches. He is the director of the Swimming Sports Management Center and the leader of the swimming team in Athens this time. He must be responsible for the results of the entire team.

Wang Minghao couldn't help thinking of a question, "With Luo Xuejuan supporting me today, what if Luo Xuejuan doesn't perform well tomorrow?"

The question is right in front of us.

Before the opening of the Athens Olympics, the National Olympic Committee made a plan for the gold medals won by the Chinese Olympic team, and the swimming team also had the task of winning gold medals.

Although it is only a gold medal, other athletes have no hope of winning the gold medal. Luo Xuejuan's poor performance will lead to failure to achieve the goal.

Wang Minghao couldn't help thinking of Wang Jian.

When Wang Jian coached Wu Peng, Wu Peng was able to perform well, so will Wang Jian come to guide Luo Xuejuan and Zhan Zhu to make them perform better?
After much deliberation, Wang Minghao didn't make up his mind. He felt that Shen Yang's request was too 'demanding'. The swimming team and the athletes of the swimming team were like advertising for the Yangyang Sports Center.

He felt that he should discuss this issue with Shen Yang again.

Wang Minghao made a decisive decision immediately!
At night, he went directly to the dormitory to find Shen Yang.

Shen Yang was just about to rest, but Wang Minghao came here unexpectedly. The apartment dormitory can accommodate eight people, and the six male and female archery players all live here, and the archery team will start the individual competition tomorrow. Get a good rest.

Shen Yang could only walk out of the apartment with Wang Minghao.

When we got outside, Wang Minghao said, "Xiao Shen, you probably know what I'm here for, can you ask Wang Jian to help guide our athletes..."

Shen Yang frowned, "Didn't we talk about it? Just those few conditions. If you agree, Wang Jian can go there, and the price is still [-] a time, but let's talk about it first, it is [-] to guide an athlete to participate in the competition, not [-]." Two thousand a day..."

Wang Minghao had a headache when he heard the price.

In fact, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars is not a big price for him. After all, he is the director of the swimming project management center. It is not a problem at all to use the training funds of the swimming team and the allocation for participating in the Olympic Games to pay for Wang Jian. The key is that two thousand at a time always feels a bit too much.

However, Wang Minghao accepted this price in his heart, otherwise he would not be standing here. For an athlete to perform well in the competition, 2000 yuan is definitely worth it.

What he was considering was to discuss the 'advertising issue' with Shen Yang, "The other two conditions are to have Wang Jian appear on the field, and to have the athletes thank you..."

"This is negotiable."

Shen Yang suddenly interrupted, Wang Minghao was overjoyed, but then his face continued to turn black, "Do you know why Coach Sun of the track and field team agreed to our conditions?"

Wang Minghao listened.

"Because they can't afford enough training fees. Our charging standard is 2 yuan for one athlete per day. You can ask Xie Chunfeng and Li Bin, or you can go directly to the basketball team to find Yao Ming. They have accepted it. Training, ask them if it's the price."

Wang Minghao was dumbfounded.

Xie Chunfeng and Li Bin are fine, they are both athletes of the track and field team, and it is possible for them to 'collude' with Shen Yang.

Yao Ming?

Yao Ming also trained at the Yangyang Sports Center?

Wang Minghao didn't need to verify, he knew that Shen Yang would not lie to him, because Yao Ming was on the Olympic basketball team, and there were only two buildings between his place and here.

"As long as your swimming team pays according to the normal charging standards of our Yangyang Sports Center, we will not have any additional conditions. All training, preparations, competitions, reporter interviews, etc., will follow your arrangements."

Wang Minghao was dumbfounded.

Twenty thousand a day?
Why not grab it, Wang Minghao!
There are still several days left before the Olympic Games, so the swimming team will have to spend 10 yuan?For athletes to get good results, 10 yuan is not much money, but the main reason is that the money is a bit too much, and the training and competition funds cannot be used openly. In order to avoid accidents, it can almost only be paid by him personally.

Wang Minghao immediately made up his mind to betray the athletes.

----

Shen Yang didn't have time to talk to Wang Minghao.

The men's archery individual preliminaries are about to start, and he is also an athlete participating in the competition, so he must have a good rest at night.

After negotiating with Wang Minghao, Shen Yang called Wang Jian and went back to the dormitory to sleep after giving some instructions. The next morning at [-]:[-], he got up on time and went to the archery team training ground to warm up.

After that, all the archery team rushed to the competition venue.

The leading coach of the men's archery team is Wang Wenlong, and the other two athletes are Yong Fujun and Zhang Haifeng. When they arrive, they rest at the designated positions.

Wang Wenlong went to get the ranking list, and the three athletes talked about the competition.

After a few days of contact, Shen Yang, Yong Fujun, and Zhang Haifeng got to know each other. Their archery skills are not bad, and they are definitely among the top in the world. The most important thing is that they enthusiastically guided Shen Yang and even took the initiative to talk about Some game stuff.

For example, the rules of the Olympic preliminaries were told by the two to Shen Yang.

What they are going to do in the morning is the top 64 ranking match, which can also be said to be the preliminaries of the Olympic Games. 64 athletes, each shoot six groups of arrows, with six arrows in each group, a total of 36 arrows; after a 10-15 minute rest, follow the above procedure Shoot again for a total of 72 arrows.

Afterwards, the referee will rank the players from the first to the 72th according to the cumulative number of rings of each player's 64 arrows.

There will be no contestants eliminated in the morning.

In the afternoon, there will be a knockout match. According to the ranking of 64 players, one-on-one matching will be carried out, for example: No.1 vs. No.60 four, No.2 vs. No.60 three, and so on knockout.

In the knockout round, each athlete shoots twelve arrows, divided into four groups, with three arrows in each group, using one-on-one alternate shooting, and the winner enters the next stage of the competition.

This elimination rule will continue until the finals.

The competition in the morning is divided into nouns, no athletes will be eliminated, and the three of them are relatively relaxed.

Shen Yang felt indifferent.

He has too much confidence in himself, no matter what kind of game he plays, he will not have the problem of poor performance, and he will definitely be able to enter the final.

Before participating in the preliminaries, Shen Yang performed a set of "Shen Fist One Style" to adjust his physical condition.

Due to the blessing of the body, this set of movements is not very effective for him, but doing the movements should also relax the body.

At [-]:[-], the preliminaries officially started.
