Chapter 66 Finals Begin

雅典时间8月22日23时，首都时间8月23日凌晨4时，雅典奥运会男子百米的决赛即将开始。

The men's [-]-meter sprint final is the last game of the day, and it is also the grand finale.Tens of thousands of spectators sat hard for several hours, most of them were waiting for the [-]-meter sprinter battle, and more people stood by the TV, waiting for the birth of a new [-]-meter sprinter.

11:8 p.m. in Athens time in southern Europe is 10:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. in Western European countries, which is a good time to watch TV; on the other side of the Atlantic, it happens to be the weekend afternoon in the United States, and people also prepare various snacks , waiting in front of the TV; there is only the far east, but it is already the most sound sleep in the early morning, and it is considered to work normally during the day, so even if one program and five programs are broadcast live at the same time, there are few people. Willing to get out of bed and watch.

For this [-]-meter final, the Europeans are watching the fun more, but the Americans have been looking forward to it for a long time.American flyers have always monopolized the world record for the [-]-meter, and have won consecutive Olympic [-]-meter championships. This time, all three American athletes have entered the finals, so the American audience thinks that they have already booked this Olympic gold medal. .

Americans have always liked this kind of speed competition, and the broadcast time of the game is suitable. In addition, the players of the American team are strong enough, which makes the Americans pay great attention to the men's [-]-meter sprint final of the Olympic Games. Statistics from the broadcaster The ratings that came out rose rapidly, approaching the Super Bowl.

In a high-end villa area in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina, 14-year-old Seth Curry walked into the living room from the yard, but saw his brother Stephen Curry sitting in front of the TV.

"My brother didn't go to practice!" Seth Curry walked forward with a puzzled expression, only to find that the Olympic men's [-]-meter final was being broadcast live on TV. "

The father of the Curry brothers 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 inheriting their father's career.However, it seems that the two brothers have not shown too much basketball talent, even the 16-year-old Stephen Curry is already a very good three-point shooter.But in this era where muscular men rule the roost, the curry brothers' thin and small bodies are obviously not favored by scouts.

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

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

The athlete in the third row was wearing a white vest with three large letters of "USA" on the front very conspicuously. He was the American player Justin Gatlin.The rebroadcast was obviously very good for the Americans, and it gave Justin Gatlin a close-up of his face for ten seconds.

“这是贾斯汀－加特林，他今年只有22岁，是美国队三名选手中最年轻的一位，他曾获得过2002年全美室内赛100米、200米及室外赛200米的冠军！并且在2003年获得了国际田联黄金联赛苏黎世站的冠军。”

The voice of the commentator came from the TV, but the Curry brothers did not show too much excitement.At this time, Justin Gatlin was not well-known, and the Curry brothers were not familiar with him.

The fourth track is another American player, Sean Crawford.The organizers of the Olympic Games lined up the two American players, obviously giving the American team great care.

"Sean Crawford, the 2001-meter champion of the 200 World Indoor Championships, is at his peak at the age of 26 this year. We also expect him to achieve good results in the subsequent 200-meter competition!"

"The fifth lane is the Portuguese player Francis-Obick Viru, who was originally from Nigeria and later naturalized in Portugal. He is also the only athlete from a European country in the final!"

While the commentator was introducing Obikveru, there were enthusiastic cheers in the arena. Obviously, as a European athlete, even if he is a naturalized player, he still received the most enthusiastic shouts from the European audience.

After the broadcast screen gave Obikveru enough shots, he turned to the next athlete.When Seth Curry saw an athlete wearing a black vest, he complained disappointedly: "Why isn't it Morris Green!"

"Don't worry, it's next!" Stephen Curry said.

"The sixth runner is Asafa Powell from Jamaica..." The narrator did not give much introduction to the future world No. It was the defending champion Maurice Green who came down seventh.

There were cheers no less than that of Obikveru in the stadium, and the audience still bought the defending champion very much.The Curry brothers in front of the TV also became excited.

Morris Green once won the World Championships double championship in 1999 and broke the men's [-]-meter world record at the time. He won the gold medal in the Sydney Olympics and has always been hailed as a hero in the American track and field world.In the United States, Morris Green's popularity is not inferior to the top stars of the four major leagues.

"Stephen, I guess Maurice Green will win the championship." Seth Curry said.

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

The broadcast screen has been staring at Maurice Green, and the commentator is also talking about Maurice Green. After more than half of the group, he reluctantly moves to the left at the end, giving the eighth lane player .

"Yellow race!" Stephen Curry in front of the TV suddenly widened his eyes. Blacks have dominated the [-]-meter sprint for more than ten years, and the first seven players in the camera are all darker than Curry Black, the sudden appearance of other skin colors made Curry feel that the picture was a bit inconsistent.

"How is this possible? A man of yellow race, how did he get into the Olympic [-]-meter final?" Seth Curry was also surprised.He has practiced basketball since he was a child, and most of his training partners are black, and there are also many Hispanic mixed races, and there are relatively few whites. As for the yellow people in the school, they are not good at sports. Some study groups are more interesting.

The commentator's voice also came at this time: "The eighth place is Guan-Zhang from China. He is the current Asian men's [-]-meter record holder."

"This stupid commentator. According to the Chinese name, he should be called Zhang Guan. The Chinese people have the last name first and the first name later." Stephen Curry said.

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

Stephen Curry had a very unwilling expression on his face, and he understood what Seth Curry meant.This Chinese who is only two years older than himself has already stood on the stage of the Olympic [-]-meter final, competing with world-class players such as Maurice Green, while Stephen Curry is still playing for the school team. worry.

Among the players the same age as Stephen Curry, 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 is expected to enter this year's high school The Lopez twins in California got a chance at Adidas training camp, and Kevin Love was hailed as the best high school student at the time; Greg Oden, no one would take that Monsters are compared to high school students.But when it comes to Stephen Curry, the only thing everyone can think of is Dell Curry's son.

Thinking about the evaluation given to him by the coach, Stephen Curry shook his head in disappointment. Compared with his peers, his body has no advantage. He is really too thin. If the coach of the school team did not know him Dad, maybe he doesn't even have a chance to play.

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

……

"Hello, viewers. Now we are broadcasting live the men's 28-meter final of the 100th Olympic Games. It is worth mentioning that Chinese player Zhang Guan entered the men's [-]-meter final unprecedentedly. An unprecedented major breakthrough in the sports industry. However, there are so many strong men in the Olympic [-]-meter final. If Zhang Guan wants to win a medal, it is still very difficult. In fact, Zhang Guan's ability to enter the final has already made history. , so here, we also wish Zhang Guan good results."

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

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

Eight athletes stood on the starting blocks, their faces solemn, waiting for the sound of the starting gun.

Jamaican trapeze Powell, who is in the sixth lane, looks very nervous. Although Powell is also an athlete with rich competition experience, he still feels nervous in the Olympic finals.

The two Americans, Gatlin and Crawford, started running side by side, but there was no verbal communication between them. They both knew that they were the biggest competitors, so they simply kept silent.

The defending champion Maurice Green's face was a bit dignified. He could feel that his physical strength had not yet fully recovered to its peak state. The semi-finals consumed too much energy for him. With his current physical level, it might be difficult to run into the finals. Within 9.8 seconds.But he still wants to hit the championship.

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

"On your marks..."

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