----------
On Tuesday afternoon, a special plane appeared at the Turin Airport on time. At this time, Chen Long had already put on Nike's personal equipment and was waiting at the airport. According to the contract, as long as Chen Long represents the track and field team, Chenlong must wear Nike sports equipment to play, and the contract is valid for three years.
The preview of a 100-meter race the day before yesterday went well. Tomorrow will be a real showdown. This Golden League will be held in Athens, Greece. This city is not unfamiliar to Chenlong. At least this is the second time he has been here. The last time During the Champions League away game against Olympiakos, the team fled in panic after the team's victory. This time, Chen Long still felt a little frightened. He covered his face more or less with a sun hat, fearing that sharp-eyed fans would immediately recognize him.
His participation in the Golden League has been no secret since the morning before yesterday. His appearance not only increased the attendance at the venue, but even fans who usually only like to watch football couldn't help but wait in front of the TV to watch. Look at the incredible performance of this monster Chen Long in the 100-meter race.
After arriving in Athens the night before, Chenlong adapted to several starting movements indoors. He felt pretty good and went to rest early. On the day of the competition, he was in good spirits and was just waiting for the competition to come.
Bolt is the superstar in the 100-meter race, so when reporters asked Bolt the day before the game whether Italy's monster Chen Long might pose a threat to him, Bolt's answer made Chen Long sad: Football Chenlong, the new golden boy in Europe, has never heard of him at all. I have only heard of Messi and Ronaldo, Xavi and Alonso... Even if he is a dragon, I will turn him into a worm.
It’s not my fault. Bolt is not a professional football fan. Although he often says that Real Madrid is his favorite, he doesn’t even know Chen Long. It’s really hard to be called a fan these days, and even fake fans can’t do the job.
Although he is a little sad, this is in line with Chen Long's character. If he is not famous, there will be no pressure. He is afraid that being famous will crush him to death.
The Golden League is divided into preliminaries and finals. The preliminaries are held at 9 o'clock in the morning, followed by the finals at 10:30.
I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running. There are no rules in this race. As long as I don't jump ahead twice, I will complete the task without any danger.
He thinks so himself, but others don't think so. Chenlong has never received formal training at all. He is not good enough to become a monk halfway, and he still joins the army temporarily. If he is not amazingly talented, then he is a coach. Of course, Chenlong only belongs to the former, more or less People are envious and jealous, but they don't know it, but the gaming company has come to join in the fun again. Now Chenlong has become the gaming company's most popular person, and they will place bets on any game involving him without hesitation.
Take this competition as an example. The betting companies have a wide variety of bets. First of all, there is a preliminary bet. The odds of qualifying in the preliminaries are 0.8 to 1, and the odds of losing are 1.2 to 1. Obviously, the betting company Optimistic about Chenlong qualifying in the preliminaries.
The qualifying level is still decreasing. This is not a big deal. The final odds offered by bookmakers are even more tempting. Bolt’s odds of winning are 0.80 to 1, and Chenlong is actually ranked second. The odds are one to one, and the odds of the last place are one hundred to one. The meaning of the bookmaker is obvious, that is, Chenlong cannot be ranked last, but he has the ability to compete for the first place.
During the qualifiers, Chenlong was not in a group with Bolt. As a result, Bolt unexpectedly won the first place in the group with a time of 9.96 seconds and easily qualified. It can be seen that he has not really exerted his strength. In fact, this It seems that there are no opponents worthy of Bolt's all-out efforts these days.
Chen Long only performed well, finishing third in the group with a time of 10 seconds and 3 seconds. But if that were the case, the fans would have been crazy enough. The 100-meter race only took about ten seconds. Chen Long's Such a result in the preliminaries is enough to prove that his achievements in track and field are no worse than professional ones.
It seemed that he was still slightly behind the professional players at the start. After finishing the race, Chenlong had to admit his gap. If he hadn't accelerated too fast, he really wouldn't have been able to catch up.
"Well done, Long. This is how you perform in the finals. You won it the night before. Don't mind the starting part. Just let nature take its course." After the coach finished Chenlong's run, he was not the first to point out Chenlong's shortcomings. , but expressed congratulations.
Chen Long smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Well, I was thinking that you would prepare an Italian flag, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to win the championship without a flag." Chen Long's words were of course true. Just kidding, it would be a fantasy to think that Bolt could snatch the championship from his hands, but staying in the top three would be good.
But someone really took it seriously, and actually took out an Italian flag from the equipment bag. After seeing it, Chen Long thought to himself: What is going on this time? There really is someone who is serious. The person holding the flag is none other than one of the official sprinters. , Chenlong had no choice but to laugh and cover up his embarrassment.
"Shitou, what do you think are the similarities between sprinting and football?" I don't know why Chenlong thought of Xinglei at this time, so he called Xinglei out, hoping to get some valuable opinions from it.
"Starting this thing is no different from your football. It requires talent and feeling. Can you be bad at this? You are just worried about false starts, just like offside in football games. You are afraid of being faster than others. "I lost half my body." Xing Lei pointed out what Chen Long was afraid of.
But having said that, it's not that Chen Long doesn't understand that on the football field, you still rely on your own gaze to look at the linesman to make judgments, but now you have to listen to the sound of the gun. Different referees naturally have different timings for firing. I still wasn’t used to it all of a sudden.
"I think your reaction is fast enough. The only shortcoming is the lack of coordination of the body, which means that you are too concerned about the other party's gunshots, focusing on listening to the gunshots, and basically ignoring your feet. "Xing Lei continued to analyze clearly.
How to explain, Chenlong continued to ask with great interest.
"In other words, your hearing is no different from theirs. You start slowly with your feet, but this slowness is relative. If you ensure that you focus on the sound of the gun while also holding back enough energy to start, you should not miss it. Take the lead!”
"Oh, it makes sense. I really care about that gunshot too much. Well, in the finals, I will fight your way." Chenlong immediately gave Xinglei some inspiration, and the confidence in his heart once again Up one point.
The rest period of less than an hour passed quickly. During this period, the preliminaries of the 400-meter relay race were also held. After the preliminaries, the most popular 100-meter final battle finally came.
Bolt was ranked first in the preliminaries because his overall score was first, while Chenlong was third in the group preliminaries, and his overall score happened to be third, so he was in the third lane, and the second lane was with Chen Long before. The first place in a group was a tall and lanky black man from Jamaica. Chenlong couldn't name him, but he felt that this man had already gone to full strength just now. His real opponent was actually Bolt.
Although it is still a bit unbelievable, the fact is that Chenlong is indeed qualified to compete with Bolt.
Bolt didn't look at any of his opponents at all. He raised his head high and high. This was the aura of a bastard. He looked down on the world with his aura. He stood on the first track and relaxed his body lightly.
Chen Long also had a decent way of jumping around, but he was playing the tricks used in football training. This was obviously different from the others. At first glance, he looked like a half-full person who was just trying to make up for the numbers... Chen Long discovered his own unique style. , stopped quickly to cover up his embarrassment, but at this time he found a familiar figure standing not far away.
Isn't this Liu Xiang? He is already thirty years old. After being injured after the Olympics, he still didn't retire. How could he still want to play until the next Olympics
Chenlong has always paid close attention to Liu Xiang, so he was naturally a little surprised to see him now.
When Liu Xiang won the Olympic Games in 2004, he clearly remembered that night and that scene.
Soon after, at the urging of the referee, each team member finally stopped warming up and walked onto their own track. Apparently the referee asked the athletes to prepare for the 100-meter final.
But Bolt waved to the Chinese people leisurely and strolled to the track. Does this mean that he is going to win the championship again
Chenlong stretched his thumb to the coaching staff and then squatted down.
"Everyone is on his position." The referee dragged his voice for a long time before spitting out the word "prepare" with another snap.
As expected, Bolt strode out like a flying man, starting very fast.
But Chen Long, who was on the third path, had already exerted all his strength. At the first moment when the gunshot sounded, his feet were shot out like an arrow from the string. Yes, it was shot out, just like the rocket. Lifting into the air, like a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier, it suddenly ejected.
"Two people go hand in hand, Bolt and Chen Long in the third lane." The host's shocked voice recalled that with just this brief sentence, a few seconds passed, and the two men were already halfway to the runway. Behind him, everyone was already several meters away. Chenlong's start was not inferior to Bolt's at all.
Chenlong didn't look at Bolt, and Bolt didn't look at Chenlong. The two of them just rushed forward. Chenlong's speed continued to increase, as if he was tearing the air apart and detonating it.
"Ah, no, it's half a length ahead of Bolt. Ah, it's wrong again. Chenlong actually went to the fourth lane." After saying this, Chenlong and Bolt were already less than ten meters away from the finish line. .
If he ran the wrong track, his results would be invalidated. Chenlong was also lucky. He happened to look down at the track and discovered his low-level mistake. He quickly went to the third track to correct it, but his speed did not decrease.
But just because of this unnecessary little movement, it still delayed a little bit of time. At the final moment of sprint, Bolt and he actually crossed the finish line at the same time.
Everyone's results were displayed immediately on the big screen.
Bolt, nine seconds to love eighty, Chenlong, nine seconds to eighty.
... "Same score, same score, Chenlong actually got the same score as Bolt, both 9.80 seconds. Although they didn't set a new record with Bolt, they won the first place at the same time." The host was full of passion As he explained, the violent voice penetrated into the eardrums of the audience present, and there was thunderous applause...
A miracle really happened like this. The Italian coaching staff rushed forward in a swarm, surrounded Chen Long tightly, then lifted him up and ran into the air. Naturally, they didn't know that Chen Long was afraid of such a tossing celebration. .
Chen Long, who got off the ground, still couldn't believe that he and Bolt really won the first place. He only believed this fact after his teammates draped him with the Italian flag. At this time, Bolt trotted away. Come over and stretch out a pair of big black hands.
"Brother, you are so out of character. If you hadn't run in the wrong direction, this first place would have been yours alone." Bolt mostly praised Chenlong, and admitted that he got an advantage just now due to some lucky reason. .
Chenlong stretched out his hand stupidly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Happiness came so suddenly... Just like this, just like this...
"It's my first time, my first time is inexperienced, haha, I'm confused, I'm just confused." Chen Long, draped in the Italian flag, really didn't expect his luck to be so good.
"Damn it, do you still have to live in this? Is it possible that I will win the world's best athlete in the next few years!!" Little Chopper was also sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast, unless he was not Italian, if he was Italian People, no one is not paying attention to this grand occasion in front of the TV.
For the first time in fifty years, Italy finally won a first place in the 100-meter race, and it was won by running on the wrong track, and it was won by a temporary football worker.
There was no on-site media to take care of the subsequent projects, and Chenlong had already been surrounded. Although Bolt was also the champion, and there were a few reporters surrounding him, it was in no way comparable to the tight situation on Chenlong's side.
He became famous again after competing in the 100-meter race. Is there anything he can't do? Apart from being the fastest man in the world in five minutes, he is well-deserved. If he wins in other events based on speed, I guess he can't do it. It's no big deal.
In this stadium, which is as big as a football field, Chen Long is enjoying the cheers from the audience from all over the world. This is the first time for him to feel this way. Although he also enjoys king-like treatment on the football field, it is far from as humiliating as this moment. People are shocked.
Winning the Golden Boy Award just three days ago has attracted worldwide attention. Three days later, he even won the 100-meter championship in the Golden League. Such an achievement is even more unprecedented. After coming out of the locker room, Chen Long Still surrounded by the media, I had to attend the press conference.
At the press conference, there were still those unbelievable contents. Even Chenlong himself still couldn't believe it, let alone others.
Before leaving the press conference, Chenlong had to be pulled into the locker room again by the drug testers and conducted a urine test...
