Chapter 543 The first suspended flag bearer in history! 【Subscription】
Time flies very fast, in the blink of an eye, there are only two days left until the opening of the Sydney Olympic Games on September 13. According to the plan, the men's basketball team will board a plane tonight, head to Sydney, and join the entire Chinese delegation to prepare. opening ceremony.
Before they boarded the plane, Director Jiang Xingquan was very excited to find Lin Long, patted his shoulder and said:
"Aaron, congratulations! I just received a call that you were chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games! This is a huge honor, congratulations!"
Lin Long also put away his usual playfulness and casualness, and nodded solemnly.
The flag-bearer symbolizes the face of an Olympic delegation and also represents an international image. If this task is handed over to Lin Long, Lin Long will certainly go all out and never let the person who chooses him be disappointed!
However, what Lin Long, Jiang Xingquan, and even the entire men's basketball team did not know, was that a heated discussion about who would be the flag bearer had been launched in the office of the General Administration of Sports of China Imperial City half a month ago!
Originally, it was the practice for Huaxia to participate in the Olympic Games for tall, strong and well-proportioned basketball players to serve as the flag bearers of the opening ceremony. After all, they are the most well-proportioned and slender in almost all sports.
The selection of this year's flag-bearer did not have any turbulence. Lin Long, the number one superstar in today's basketball world, was chosen as a matter of course.
But on the eve of the opening of the Olympic Games, the men's basketball team and South Korea fought a big fight.
Although they won, even though the Korean team did not take care of it, their punishment was heavier, and even fans and spectators all over the country applauded.
But this kind of fight is not a glorious deed after all.
If a person who has just been rough on the field is asked to carry the flag, there will inevitably be some gossip.
Not to mention Lin Long was also suspended for 3 games. It is very likely that the men's basketball team, which had a rushing goal, would lose all the games and be unable to qualify for the group stage because of the 3-game suspension!
If this is the case, then the cost and impact of this fight will be even greater!
Therefore, at the meeting, many people proposed to change the flag-bearer.
The names of Tian Liang and Fu Mingxia from the diving team, Wang Liqin and Kong Linghui from the table tennis team, and Chen Zhong from women's taekwondo have all been put on the agenda.
It's a pity that after screening, it is found that either the athletes' performance is not good, or the athletes' image is not good, or the performance and image are good, but the height is not tall enough to stand out.
In the end, after choosing and choosing, I found that Lin Long is the most suitable guy!
Just when a group of people were arguing and disagreeing, the chairman of the basketball association stood up and said solemnly: "If you are worried that the suspension of Lin Long and others will lead to unsatisfactory final results, which will lead to a series of chain links. If there is a response and accountability, I am willing to take this responsibility, Lin Long once promised me that this time, he will definitely come back with a result that will satisfy everyone 々々!"
"Does he have to be trusted? Do we have to believe him when he says it? What if he's a guy who doesn't keep his mouth shut.39
In the corner, a voice sounded, obviously dissatisfied with the decision of the Basketball Association.
After all, about the Olympic flag bearer, he is not big when it is said that he is big, and he is indeed an honor. For the basketball team who has taken this matter on himself for many years, this job should be done by our basketball team. The way he did it has already caused some people's jealousy.
"If you really knew Lin Long and studied what he did in America, you wouldn't say such a thing at all! If you're interested, I can talk to you about everything, Lin What did Long say in the United States so that he could show the prestige of our country and make Lao Mei convinced of him!"
"In short, there is no basis for it. He said it with a big mouth. If he can't do it, he will be eliminated in the group stage. Trouble, bear the verbal criticism and doubts of the media, no one will be able to escape this responsibility at that time!"
The voice sounded again, obviously not giving up until things were not made a big deal.
"No one can take this responsibility away!" The chairman of the Basketball Association said in a muffled voice, listening to his tone, it was obvious that he was really angry: "This responsibility, I will resist! If the men's basketball team can't get the best result in history this time. , I can't break the best results of the previous top eight, I will fight! Whether it is resignation, an apology, or a review, I will take care of this matter!
He paused, glanced at the heads of the various sports in the audience, and took a deep breath and said:
"々. Now, who is for and who is against?"
Speaking of which, no one will put forward any other opinions. After all, it is not a great event in itself, so let it go.
What these people are more interested in is obviously what kind of results the men's basketball team can achieve this time!
Do you really want to break the historical record, enter the semi-finals, and rush for the trophy?
All of the above, maybe Lin Long will never know about the library in his life.
No one in the entire team would know that someone was silently carrying the thunder for them. The boys of the men's basketball team were still extremely excited and boarded the plane to Sydney!
Sydney, located on the southeast coast of Australia, is one of the largest cities in Australia with a comfortable environment. It has been rated as one of the top ten cities most suitable for human habitation several times (Zhao's Zhao). At the same time, it also has a developed economy. Known as the little New York in the southern hemisphere! Coupled with various world-renowned attractions, Sydney has long become the world's top super first-tier city!
The Olympic Village in Sydney was already crowded with people at this time. More than 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries in the world had already arrived at this time. The park was full of athletes taking pictures and wandering around, showing that the industry of athletes is prosperous. Nowhere to put energy!
Under the guidance of the guide, Lin Long and others came to their residence in the Olympic Village. After unloading their luggage, Jiang Xingquan did not put too many restraints on the disciples. , just wait until the jet lag and physical condition are adjusted, and then we will talk about it after participating in the opening ceremony!
