For Zhang Guan, this game was not just as simple as winning an honor or breaking a world record, but more importantly, he became able to vindicate his name.
From the moment Zhang Guan returned to the track and field competition, he faced countless doubts, some from domestic, but more from abroad.
Zhang Guan is the strongest track and field athlete in the world, and he is the holder of multiple world records in track and field sprint events. He broke the monopoly of track and field sprint events in European and American countries. Because of this, there are too many track and field athletes in foreign countries. Many people don't want to see Zhang Guan return.
It is said that peers are enemies. As long as Zhang Guan appears on the field, it means that others have one less chance to win the gold medal. Perhaps many track and field athletes regard Zhang Guan as their idol and the goal of their efforts, but there are also many people who view Zhang Guan with jealousy.
Another reason why Zhang Guanshu is so popular is that it is like this in many sports. The biggest and most powerful active athlete must be the one who attracts the most criticism. For example, in basketball, from the early days of O'Brien, to the later Kobe, and now to the current LeBron; and in football, there are definitely not a few people who have black Ronaldo and Messi.
Zhang Guan has too many fans all over the world, and also has too many negative fans. There are too many people who want to see Zhang Guan's jokes, and some even look forward to Zhang Guan's defeat.
And Zhang Guan once again fought back with strength. He defeated Bolt, the favorite to win the championship, and won the championship. He even broke the world record, and he broke the world record with an unbelievable result.
9.56 seconds, this result is really terrible, so terrible that absolutely no one dares to question Zhang Guan’s strength.
Of course, there are also some people who sensationalize and question Zhang Guan's results for fraud or cheating during the competition. Some people even say that the organizers deliberately set Zhang Guan's results by 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.
But this voice was like an inconspicuous wave, quickly drowned in the chaos of various news. After all, this is the Olympic Games. With tens of thousands of people watching, and in full view of hundreds of millions of TV viewers, how can it be possible to fake or cheat. What's more, the Olympic Organizing Committee and the IAAF have professionals on site, and they are not just for free.
Moreover, when Zhang Guan crossed the line at the end, the gap with other players was very obvious. If Zhang Guan's time was set 0.2 or 0.3 seconds faster, then the actual results of other players would also be that much faster. In the Olympic finals, the last place ran 10.03 seconds. If you add 0.3 seconds, it would be 10.33 seconds. How can you participate in the Olympic finals if you can't even reach the Olympic A standard? So this argument is totally untenable.
…
If an ordinary athlete wins an Olympic gold medal or breaks a world record, he will definitely become the darling of the media, receive various exclusive interviews, appear on various programs, appear in media studios, etc.
Of course, Zhang Guan is also the darling of the media, but he does not have time to deal with the media. Even the leaders' commendations are conveyed through Director Ma, because everyone knows that Zhang Guan has other competitions to participate in.
Zhang Guan has proven his condition. The Olympic Committee immediately regarded Zhang Guan as a mutant giant panda cub and sent a team of more than a dozen people to serve Zhang Guan 24 hours a day. Special police officers were also specially mobilized from the SWAT team. , responsible for protecting Zhang Guan’s safety
On August 17, Zhang Guan only had two games. One is the men's tennis singles final at 17:00, and the other is the 1500-meter middle-distance running semi-finals at 22:00.
The main court of the National Tennis Center will host two matches today, namely the finals of women's tennis singles and the finals of men's tennis singles.
The women's singles final started at 2 p.m. After three sets, Dementieva defeated Safina 2:1 and won the championship.
After the women's singles match ended, the audience waited for more than an hour before Zhang Guan and Nadal, the two men's singles finalists, appeared on the court.
The 22-year-old Nadal has begun to enter his prime. On clay, he has won four championships, including the French Open. At Wimbledon, Nadal defeated Federer and won the grass court title. champion. On the hard court, Nadal also won the championship title at the Toronto Open before the Olympics. Today, Nadal is here to become the Olympic champion.
However, when Nadal walked into the arena, he was shocked by the atmosphere. The fans were shouting crazily, and the national flags were waving around constantly. Everyone seemed to be attending a festive banquet, persistent and joyful. Especially when Zhang Guan appeared on the court, the atmosphere in the court reached its peak. At this time, this place was no longer the National Tennis Center, but like the flaming mountain encountered on the westbound road.
"This is Zhang Guan's home court!" Nadal looked at Zhang Guan opposite and felt something indescribable in his heart.
Nadal has been on the court for a long time, and has experienced many opponents' home courts, but he has never encountered this kind of home court. The atmosphere here is too depressing for Nadal, enough to make any away opponent Feeling suffocated.
At this moment, no matter how hard Nadal tried to adjust his mood, he could not keep his peace of mind.
"What a terrible home court!" Nadal sighed silently.
If it were the same moment yesterday, when Zhang Guan appeared on the field, the audience might cheer or cheer for him, but it would never have such a sensational effect. But last night, Zhang Guan broke the record and won the men's 100-meter dash championship, pushing Zhang Guan's reputation to a peak again. All Chinese audiences are looking forward to Zhang Guan winning another gold medal.
Nadal felt heavy pressure, and the away atmosphere made him feel a little out of sorts.
Sometimes, home fans may "boo" their opponents. For Nadal, booing can actually stimulate Nadal's fighting spirit even more. But today, since no one in the audience booed, everyone was cheering for Zhang Guan.
Of course, Chinese fans support Zhang Guan 100%. For them, sending encouragement and blessings to Zhang Guan is far more important than booing his opponents.
"It's so depressing!" Nadal wiped the sweat from his forehead. I don't know if the sweat was caused by the heat or the pressure of the scene.
Nadal has never won against Zhang Guan, but now that he is facing this kind of home court, Nadal feels even more guilty.
The game started with Zhang Guan's serve first. For the first ball, Zhang Guan was directly preparing to fight for an ACE ball.
The speed of this ball has reached the normal level of Zhang Guan's serve, and the landing point is also very good. It can be regarded as a good quality serve. This kind of ball can be received by Nadal if he is well prepared.
But at the beginning of today, Nadal was in very average condition. His reaction was a little slow by half a beat and he did not catch the ball.
"ACE, 15-0!" the referee said immediately.
"Oh oh oh oh..." Cheers like rolling thunder suddenly sounded.
"Ouch." The referee was so frightened that he didn't fall off the high chair. He immediately grabbed the armrest and steadied himself.
"I was shocked! Isn't it just an ACE ball? As for..." The referee subconsciously sat back and leaned tightly on the back of his chair.
Off the court, Nadal's face turned pale, and he was obviously startled by the sudden cheers.
"It's just a ball. As for shouting like this? The Chinese are really crazy. I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be so popular in his country. What a terrible away game!"
