Chapter 105 Banner Bearer
Who the Chinese Olympic delegation chooses to be the Olympic flag bearer has long been a subject of discussion among leaders.

By convention, the flag bearers of the Olympic Games have always been men's basketball players.Although the Chinese team has its own traditional advantages in table tennis, badminton, weightlifting, swimming, diving and other events.

The women's volleyball team, which has attracted the attention of the Chinese people, has become the world champion several times.But considering the influence and the image advantages of the men's basketball players.The flag-bearers of the previous Olympic Games have all been the leaders of the men's basketball team.

In the 2000 Olympic Games, Liu Yudong, the god of war, served as the flag bearer.At that time, many people in the country knew that in 2004, the flag bearer of the Olympic Games must belong to center Yao Ming, who was still very young at the time.

If it was before 2003, this seems to be no surprise.Although Wang Shipeng is recognized as the No. [-] guard in China, Yao Ming first beat Wang Shipeng to win the championship, and then entered the NBA and became the No. [-] pick.Yao Ming's influence undoubtedly exceeds that of Wang Shipeng.

The 03-04 season changed all that.Although Wang Shipeng did not become the No. [-] pick, he was also the seventh overall pick.And he entered a team like the Chicago Bulls, which is very affectionate among domestic basketball fans.

And Wang Shipeng's rookie season was out of control.Best Rookie, Rookie Game MVP, All-Star Starter, All-Star Ticket King, Best Team.

Wang Shipeng did what Yao Ming couldn't.The strength shown is not weaker than Yao Ming in the second grade.

And Wang Shipeng is a defender, undoubtedly more popular than Yao Ming.And his height is also close to two meters, and his image is also good.

So there was a voice to let Wang Shipeng be the standard bearer.

This voice originally came from the people, from the Internet, which is still in its infancy.A netizen named Pengcheng Zhanchi launched a vote on a fan forum for who will be the Olympic flag bearer, and took the lead in voting for Wang Shipeng.

Maybe this netizen, who is obviously a fan of Wang Shipeng, didn't even think that the post he sent to a small fan forum ended up getting bigger and bigger.Not only was it quickly pinned to the top of the forum, but it was also reposted by major portal websites. In the end, more than 500 million voters participated.

This is a very exaggerated statistic, and it also shows the influence of the continuous appearance of Wang Zhizhi, Battelle, Yao Ming, Wang Shipeng and others after 20 years of deep cultivation of basketball and NBA.

Even officials from the Basketball Association and the Olympic Committee have noticed this.

Once public opinion is formed on many things, officials have to pay attention to them.It has been the same since ancient times.Of course, the scope of the ancient people was different from that of today.

After discussions among Olympic Committee officials, it was finally decided to follow public opinion.

Of course, Wang Shipeng is not the standard bearer.Although Wang Shipeng's support rate is higher, but the opinion of the officials of the Basketball Association should also be considered.After all, the current Basketball Association is not the one that Yao Ming was the chairman of. The Basketball Association in 04 was still controlled by a group of officials.

So, a fax was sent to Athens by BJ.Then it was placed in front of Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng.

To be honest, Wang Shipeng really didn't find this problem.He usually doesn't care about online news. Wang Shipeng, who has experienced the great development of the Internet more than ten years later, really finds it difficult to accept the current Internet.

Not to mention anything else, the tortoise-like internet speed can drive people to death.

Therefore, someone from Wang Shipeng's management team paid special attention to online information for him.

But Wang Shipeng handed in his mobile phone after entering the Olympic Village.The agent could not be contacted, and this information was not unfavorable to Wang Shipeng, so it was left behind.

This also caused Wang Shipeng's face to be bewildered when the Olympic Committee asked the Olympic delegation to organize a competition between Wang Shipeng and Yao Ming.

Yao Ming knew the news in advance.He is a more diligent netizen.But the big-hearted Yao Ming didn't care about these things at all, so he didn't mention them to Wang Shipeng.

As soon as the team leader Kuang Lubin announced the decision of the competition, Yao Ming immediately expressed his objection: "I don't think it is necessary. I admit that the voices on the Internet are reasonable. It is good for everyone to have Dapeng as the standard bearer."

"No, no, the standard-bearer over the years has always been a center. As the No. [-] pick in the NBA and the All-Star center in the league, Brother Yao should be the standard-bearer."

Wang Shipeng really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, he really never coveted the Olympic flag bearer position.Especially since this is still in Athens, not BJ's.

But since the country has made a decision, it will naturally not change.Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng have to compare.

"But how does this compare?" The leaders of the delegation were also anxious.

"Yes." Yang Le, who was sent to Chicago to communicate with Wang Shipeng, also joined the delegation.At this time, he thought of a way.

"Anyway, our Olympic Village is not small, so let Yao and Dapeng carry the national flag around on the spot. Let's see who walks more energetically and with more momentum. Let whoever goes."

The leader of the delegation nodded, and the matter was basically decided.

The results of the competition between Yao Ming and Wang Shipeng came out soon. Compared with Yao Ming who is 1.9 meters tall, Wang Shipeng who is [-] meters [-] meters walks more confidently and has more style.

Wang Shipeng, who was identified as the flag bearer of the Olympic delegation, then entered intense and intensive training.As a figure attracting worldwide attention, at the opening ceremony on the night of NO.13 in August, one must be aware of everything.

Entering the main stadium of the Olympic Games, Wang Shipeng observed the main stadium of the Athens Olympic Games. Unlike the Bird's Nest in his impression, the main stadium here seemed busy and tense.

Wang Shipeng followed the rehearsal and walked around the stadium over and over again until the set was clear.

Finally, August 2004, 8 arrived.The men's basketball players stayed in the room and were not in a hurry to come out.

According to the notice from the competition organizing committee, the Chinese delegation, and of course other delegations, can wait until a similar time before entering.Only Wang Shipeng entered the venue first to prepare.

However, no one thought that there would be some dumbfounding things happening at the opening ceremony.

And Wang Shipeng's handling ability in the face of crisis has also won unanimous praise from the delegation.
