Basketball: The Chosen Victim

2 hours, 08 minutes and 12 seconds!
It is still far from the record of 2 hours, 04 minutes and 40 seconds set by Emmanuel Mutai of London, but it is the fastest record by a Chinese athlete in London!
Then a very embarrassing situation occurred. In terms of results, Wu Di was already the third runner-up!
But the question is, is Wu Di still an amateur runner? !

The organizing committee has never encountered such a situation...

After all, marathons are about a step-by-step process. Even professional runners often run many marathons before being promoted to the professional group, or they are registered members of the IAAF and can be promoted directly to the professional group.

For someone like Wu Di, who went straight from amateur to third place in his horse racing debut, it's not to say unprecedented, but it's also unique!
Moreover, Wu Di's strong muscles are particularly eye-catching among the lean marathon runners!
Not scientific!

This crossover is too big!
The shooter killed the warrior A when he was face to face?

No, the soldier flew the kite and killed the shooter!
"Isn't this guy going to take a detour?"

There are many people who have the same idea as Pete, the person in charge of on-site coordination of the organizing committee. After all, such things happen from time to time in marathon events.

So much so that the melon-eaters watching the scene were divided into two groups. A small group came to cheer for Wu Di after seeing the news online, and more people were offline all the time. They couldn't understand why these people were so Crazy, I just looked at it coldly, thinking that Wu Di was deliberately taking a detour to engage in performance art.

But Pete knew that Wu Di was being followed by a camera car almost the whole time. If he had achieved this result by taking a detour, he would have been discovered long ago.

But if it weren't for a detour...

"Take him for a stimulant test now!"

Pete arranged for the staff to say that the doping test only takes 30 minutes at the fastest, and the awards ceremony will have to wait until the amateur group is almost finished. There is still a lot of time, so it is better to be cautious!
After the doping test, Pete stood next to Wu Di and listened to the reporters' interviews.

The reporters had access to much more information than the audience, but they still asked a bunch of questions in disbelief, such as "Did you take a detour?" "Did you finish the race?" "Do you know you ran 302 kilometers at a pace of 42.195?"

Wu Di answered one by one, and the reporters confirmed that Wu Di had really accomplished this feat, but a bigger question arose:
"Wu, I saw you couldn't hold it any longer on the road several times. What made you persist until the end? Can you share your journey with us?"

A female reporter from the BBC asked, and it instantly resonated with those around her:

"Yes, running the entire marathon is very painful. Why don't you stop?"

"You should have died just after 10 kilometers at the beginning. How did you persist in running the whole distance and achieve such good results..."

Wu Di smiled faintly:
"Because when people stop, the wind stops!"

"Wow!"

Wu Di's answer instantly caused an exclamation!
The boy chasing the wind will never stop!

Could it be more inspiring? !
Absolutely!
Some reporters can't wait to turn around and leave to write articles. The headlines are definitely headline-level material!
But they missed an even bigger bomb!

When asked "What made you come to participate in the Lun Ma", Wu Di looked serious:
"Because I want to represent China in the Olympics!"

"watt?"

"Oh my god! Your score has reached the Olympic marathon mark, and you can indeed participate in the Olympics..."

……

Wu Di's interview directly set off the European Internet, and it spread all the way from Europe to China!
And as Wu Di's doping test result was negative, Wu Di successfully climbed onto the podium with the bronze medal, and the whole country in China was agitated!
Facts speak louder than words!

The Olympic qualification line means that as long as the performance reaches the standard, you can get an Olympic ticket, and it does not occupy the country's allocated quota. In other words, Wu Di won an extra Olympic ticket for China!

You must know that this is the Olympic marathon, the final event of the Olympic Games. There are no preliminaries and finals. If you win, you will be awarded at the closing ceremony!

The most important thing is that there are less than 200 participants from all over the world!
Prior to this, no one from China reached the qualifying mark, and they all relied on allocating quotas to participate!
But Wu Di is now turning the tide. Under all kinds of unexpected difficulties, on June 6, the penultimate day after the Olympic roster was closed, he got a ticket as a Chinese athlete!
It is simply lore!

The issues that were previously hyped by the media about Wu Di's identity, acting like a big name, forgetting his roots when he gets rich, etc. were all overturned in an instant!
Some of them were even revealed to be slanders from certain leading parties and 1450!
Countless people lined up to apologize to Wu Di!

Because Wu Di's behavior is really awe-inspiring because he exposed the lies spun by public opinion:

"Dad asked me why I knelt down to watch TV, but he knelt down after watching it for a few minutes! Wu Di directly conquered people of all ages!"

"It's nothing to you. For dinner today, my dad specially prepared a wine cup for Wu Di and took out all the Moutai that he has treasured for 10 years!"

"Wu Di YYDS! Regardless of whether he can achieve results in the Olympics this time, Wu Di's behavior alone has answered everything!"

"Running a marathon in 2 hours and 08 minutes is equivalent to running 421 [-] meters at my [-]-meter speed. If Wu Di didn't have a motherland in his heart, how could he have persisted?"

"Fuck! I feel like I'm a fool and have been completely deceived by public opinion! In fact, with Wu Di's status, I'm afraid even the dream team is vying for it! But he silently shouldered everything..."

"Wu Di, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

"Brother, I don't blame you, I blame those unscrupulous media who criticized Wu Di before. Now they are afraid and have deleted the articles, but the Internet has memory, and netizens are posting screenshots to drag them out and parade them on the street!"

"And Zhalang, tsk, the account was banned when it was said to be banned. Did Wu Di do anything wrong? Facts have proved that what Wu Di said is true! It's okay now, his underwear leaked out all of a sudden!"

"Zha Lang has already unblocked Wu Di's account. It's a stupid thing. It's useless even if it's unblocked. Wu Di's first Weibo post after unblocking it was that he would never use Zha Lang again and go to the Toutiao account! Tsk tsk, Zha Lang Do you regret it now? This wave has directly brought traffic to competitors!"

"The Hand Management Center also said that Wu Di was acting like a big name. Who does the Hand Management Center think he is?"

"That's right, a bunch of drunkards treat heroes like this. It's hard to imagine how these people can boss around ordinary players!"

"Heroes shouldn't be treated like this! Disband the Hand Control Center on the spot!"

This wave of public opinion was so fierce and the effect was so explosive that the Hand Management Center could not withstand the pressure of public opinion. It withdrew its previous statement that night and issued a warning order against Wu Di on behalf of the China Men's Basketball Team overnight.

Although there is still no apology, the tone is quite sincere, and the words "it is not too late to remedy the situation", "the moon is seen when the clouds open" and "unyielding talents are demoted" are all used.

A group of CBA players have also publicly stated that the Chinese men's basketball team cannot do without Wu Di. Some people even posted videos to congratulate Wu Di on winning the NBA championship.

Netizens laughed in anger and left messages in the comment area:

"Why did you go so early? When something happened to Wu Di, no one came forward except Dayao!"

"A bunch of spineless guys, no matter how happy they scream now, they can't make up for the damage they've done before!"

"You're already in that position, but you're as quiet as a chicken, and you're just timid and fussy. Are you playing ball or just messing around?"

"It's just to take advantage of Wu Di's traffic!"

……

In short, the Chinese Internet has become a mess!

Wu Di's great change in status was unexpected by both the media and the management center, and they were very angry!
Wu Di made them too passive!
So much so that it’s too late for them to admit their mistake now!
But there is no way, this wave of public opinion is too turbulent, no one dares to risk the disapproval of the world to create chaos, and no one dares to make any moves!
I can only pray that Wu Di will not completely break his face because of their "sincere" attitude...

However, Wu Di's response on the headline account immediately made these people completely confused:

"I will not join the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team! The management style of the Hand Control Center is too backward, but the power is too great. Under such an organizational structure, the performance of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team will only get worse. Even if I join, I will not Any changes!"

boom!
The Chinese Internet has completely exploded:

"What does this mean?" "That's not what it means, right?"

"It seems that's what it means!"

Just a few dozen words, but so eye-catching and powerful!

They say you don’t hit someone with a smiling face, but Wu Di directly put his hand on the person in the center and his face was swollen!

"Damn it! Wu Di is so good, he fought to the end. If such a player had appeared earlier, would the China Men's Basketball Team still be the mess it is now?"

"Haha! The Chinese men's basketball team is saved!"

"A real man is just Gang! The Hand Control Center thought he was a master, but Wu Di took off their clothes and exposed their sinner core!"

"I heard that the management center was furious, but they didn't dare to withdraw Wu Di's recruitment. It's so cool! Let's all resign and go home to plant sweet potatoes!"

"It's not that I don't dare. It is said that this matter has alarmed the decision-makers above. The investigation team has stationed in the hand control center overnight. They have lost control!"

"Haha, I knew Wu Di wouldn't take advantage of them like this! These people should be waiting to go to jail!"

Wu Di's response was forwarded so much that ByteDance's server was temporarily paralyzed!

However, not everyone has changed their views on Wu Di. Some experts and big Vs who oppose Wu Di are even more hysterical!

They began to question Wu Di as a hype hot spot or even a patriotic kidnapper, and said it was just an Olympic quota!

But this time it was completely different from the previous situation!
Netizens began to wake up and began to dig into their backgrounds, and found that they were just a group of monsters, especially those who were not qualified to say "just an Olympic quota"...

The "Wu Di Effect" of China's Internet is fermenting rapidly, while the North American Internet has just woken up.

It was just 6 o'clock in the morning New York time. When Zhan Mi and Du Fen got up, they found that the world had changed!
"Wu Di - the most inspiring road to the Olympics, the most touching Olympic story!" ", "Olympic tickets exchanged for blood and tears, Wu Di interprets the Olympic spirit with actions! ", "Dreams never end, Wu Di responds to doubts with actions"...

what happened? !
Overnight, Wu Di became an Olympic hero?

Didn’t the London Olympics still not start?
But that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that yesterday they mocked Wu Di for being so arrogant, and now they are being laughed at by netizens!
"Hahaha, yesterday you laughed at me that Wu Huang didn't even have a ticket to the Olympics. Now it's better. He will directly participate in the most important event of the Olympics!"

"Let your Ah Tan try running. Can he run 10 kilometers?"

"Hey! It's ridiculous to win a gold medal with Dream Team [-] and think you're good again. It's so ridiculous. With the lineup of Dream Team [-], my grandma can win gold medals with Dream Team [-], isn't it still a team?"

"Yeah, I really don't know where the sense of superiority among Jimmys comes from. Do you know what the Olympic spirit is? It doesn't matter if you don't know. Wu Di will give you some free knowledge!"

"Migrant worker Du, take a good look. Don't ask Scarlett again why she chose Wu Di. As long as she's not blind, she won't choose you!"

"It's time for Durant to relax, after all, Scarlett has already revealed her pregnancy!"

……

James Du fans were speechless, but the ones who had the biggest stress response to this incident were some self-proclaimed "Gao Hua" groups!

They sold their country, but their status in the hearts of Americans is not as good as that of Wu Di?
Why!

They belittle patriotism as worthless, and naturally they cannot understand why Wu Di can gain widespread respect in the United States.

But in fact, it can be seen from the NFL opening ceremony how patriotic these Americans are!
Only with self-respect and self-love can we gain the true respect of others, but these slaves and licking dogs will never understand.

But the one who suffered the most was James.

Especially on July 7st, the Cavaliers championship parade officially began, and the streets of Cleveland were filled with people and turned into a sea of ​​joy!

The media had previously predicted that the championship parade would have a maximum of 206 people based on the population of the Cleveland metropolitan area of ​​50 million, but the actual number of people participating in the parade was at least 300 million!
Crazy fans had been preparing the night before at the starting point of the championship parade, which was the Quicken Loans Arena in the city center!

Early the next morning, with gongs and drums blaring and ribbons fluttering, Cavaliers players, management, and staff embarked on the parade in more than 50 open-top buses, cars, motorcycles, etc.!

The road was so congested that the road that could have been walked in half an hour was blocked for seven or eight hours!
But it’s full of joy!

The players brought champagne and cigars along the way, singing and reveling with the enthusiastic fans, celebrating Cleveland's hard-won championship!
"Jesus, this is crazy!"

Love happily raised the WWE gold belt on his shoulders high above his head, which immediately attracted countless cheers from fans!

After the Cavaliers won the championship, the status of all members improved. Just like Love is a WWE fan, WWE directly gave him a customized gold belt!

Also wearing the same style of happiness on his face was DeAndre Jordan, who directly hung the new sneakers specially designed for him by Under Armor on his shoulders!
Last summer, he failed to win the Invincible Elite Challenge and lost his Under Armor endorsement contract. However, as he won the championship this summer, Under Armor directly provided him with a huge contract of 4 million US dollars over four years, which was a blessing in disguise!
Needless to say, Irving needs to say more. Now two of Nike's biggest spokespersons, LeBron James and Durant, have both failed. As Wu Di's sword-carrying bodyguard, his status within Nike has skyrocketed!
Of course, the one who benefits the most is Wu Di. In addition to the significant improvement in reputation and status, there are also many intuitive benefits.

For example, PepsiCo paid Wu Di double the endorsement fee on the spot according to the contract, and invited Wu Di to shoot the "Uncle Drew" promotional video!

There is also Under Armor, whose stock price has returned to US$300 billion, and according to the endorsement contract, Wu Di was awarded US$6000 million worth of stock!
There are many others, but they all gained something from this hard-won championship.

James watched the whole process, especially his victory speech!

Wu Di is very eloquent, such as "Don't be afraid, I'm just running a marathon", "This championship is just an appetizer, but the bad thing is that Old Jia (Jamieson) is already full", "Don't worry, everyone, generally more blockbuster movies They all have at least three trilogies, such as Batman, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc., but you may not know that I prefer watching TV series..." As the golden words came out frequently, the crowd's laughter never stopped!

But the most heart-wrenching thing was the statement from Cavaliers owner Gilbert:

"I said that we will win the championship earlier than that traitor, and now we have done it..."

James' brain suddenly twitched, and he had a panic attack and almost couldn't breathe. Mrs. Zhan urgently arranged to see a psychiatrist overnight!
"For God's sake! I should be the one standing there talking!"

James was a little hesitant at first, but after discovering that the psychiatrist was a hot black beauty, he completely revealed his heart:
"To be honest, my script is to win a championship in Miami first to gain experience, and then wait until the Cavaliers fall behind to strengthen the lineup and then return as kings. In this case, people in Cleveland will be grateful to me. Who knows..."

"What a genius script, but it will never be performed! Alas! Madfak's gift of crab!"

"Every time I see the comments made by the little black guys, I feel very uncomfortable, but what they say is right. I can't refute it at all..."

The more James talked, the more excited he became, and he even revealed his worries about the Olympics:

"I originally thought that this Olympics would finally make me proud, but who knew that Wu Di would enter the Olympics in this way..."

"It can be expected that no matter what Wu Di's final results are, I will be questioned like never before. I want to ask, why?"

"Why do I have to be tortured like this by God despite working so hard... Wuwuwu!"

Speaking of the knot in his heart, James even couldn't help crying.

The psychiatrist Whitney had a complicated expression, but still maintained good professional ethics. After passing him a tissue, he said:

"Based on the form you filled out before and the content of our conversation, it appears that you have suffered from severe anxiety and may also have some persecution paranoia..."

"I will prescribe you some Prozac. You must stop drinking immediately and come here regularly for psychological counseling. Most importantly, you must divert your attention and stop paying too much attention to Wu Di..."

"You have chosen the wrong target. You should not think that you can become someone like Jordan, Kobe or Woody. In fact, it would be great if you can be like Pierce..." (End of Chapter)
