Basketball: The Chosen Victim

On this day, it was a rare cloudless weather in London. Both sides of the marathon track were crowded with London citizens who came to eat melon, no, come to watch the race.

The marathon is an open-air urban track and there is no way to charge tickets. Londoners do not want to miss the opportunity to watch the race for free.

Unlike the tens of thousands of runners in Lunma, the athletes who can run the Olympic marathon are all top runners, and there are only 106 people including Wu Di.

After all, running a marathon consumes too much energy, and the Olympic Games period is short, so there are no preliminaries, semi-finals, etc. in the marathon, and it is the final.

This is particularly friendly to cheaters.

Wu Di looked around. Among the participating athletes, there were the most black people, followed by yellow-skinned people, and the fewest white people.

Marathon is actually the dominant event of Xiaobenzi and Xiaobangzi. The total number of participants from these two countries alone is 8. Among them, Xiaoben’s Kentaro Nakamoto is even more capable of competing for medals.

On the Chinese side, in addition to Wu Di, there are two other players, namely Dong Guojian and Li Zicheng.

With the sound of the starting gun, Wu Di took the lead and rushed onto the track!
Although the news that Wu Di broke the Chinese record for the first time has spread all over the world, the faces of the contestants suddenly collapsed when they saw Wu Di running so fast with their own eyes.

However, perhaps due to their extreme confidence in their own abilities, the contestants at the scene were not led as much as the mass elites like Lunma.

They just ran at their own pace and stared at Wu Di's retreating figure with cold eyes.

But this scene was enough to make most viewers exclaim "exciting"!
Seeing that Wu Di was so far ahead at the beginning, the audience on both sides of the road immediately started cheering!
"Viewers, please don't be so excited! The marathon is no different from the [-]-meter race we watched before. It is very long, and there is no such thing as winning at the starting line..."

The program commentator quickly took a shot and said, sure enough, at about the 5-kilometer mark, the gap between Wu Di and the athletes behind him stopped widening after it reached almost 300 meters.

And after barely maintaining this advantage for almost 3 kilometers, the gap between Wu Di and other players began to narrow rapidly.

After passing the 10-kilometer supply point, Wu Di could still rush, but he encountered another problem.

It has been more than a month since Lunma. His running rhythm has become more scientific, but the ultimate distance he can run has also become longer...

After 12 kilometers, Wu Di's speed had dropped significantly, but he still could not reach the limit!

At this time, the cruelty of competitive sports was revealed. Wu Di was collectively surpassed by the players gathered behind him!
If Wu Di could watch the live broadcast of the game, he would be able to appreciate the "Face Changing" staged by these people.

For Wu Di, a guy who crossed over to challenge their jobs, they went from being confused at the beginning, to calming down in the middle, to the disdain when they surpassed him now, all clearly reflected on their faces.

Although Wu Di had previously achieved third place in Lunma, he started running with amateur runners after all.

This means that he started 15 minutes later than these truly top runners!

With such a big time gap, these top players didn't see Wu Di at all at that time!
So now that Wu Di has changed from leading to falling behind, it is normal for his attitude towards Wu Di to change drastically.

“I’m going to become a DNFer! (Player who hasn’t completed the game)”

"He's just a clown trying to impress people! He spent all his energy just for the first few shots, how could he possibly keep up with him later!"

"Sure enough, it won't work! Marathon is mainly about endurance, and yellow people still lack the talent in this area!"

Everyone was despised, but Wu Di didn't feel much psychological pressure.

Because he had deduced before, the current situation of overtaking is inevitable. As long as he can quickly reach the limit and sprint again without a bug that hurts the badge, he can re-establish the lead!

But the problem is that he could trigger the limit at about 13 kilometers before, but now the limit has never come...

In this regard, Wu Di could only use his willpower to fight against inertia and speed up his pace, but the limit was not reached yet!
He has been exercising too hard these days, and his body has become leaner, so that his limit has increased a lot...

"Ahhh!"

Wu Di shouted while sprinting, his voice was so loud that it instantly startled the onlookers!
Other athletes were looking askance at Wu Di because he was so unprofessional. They all began to wonder how Wu Di managed to get the top score!

"Red deer! When you scream like this, your strength is released to the Pacific Ocean..."

Kenjiro Nakamoto, who is good at sprinting in the later stages, couldn't help but curse. However, before he could finish cursing, Wu Di directly refreshed his physical fitness and passed him!

Not only did he quickly pass him, he even passed the Ethiopian and Kenyan players at the front!
"So fast!"

“It’s so fast, faster than me riding a bicycle!
“这爆发的速度，至少得有210，甚至200！（210是指1公里2分10秒）”

Netizens who watched the live broadcast of the game couldn't help but praise it!

All the professional players were completely confused. What was going on? Wu Di was clearly dying just now, so why did he suddenly burst out with such strong speed?

Is it just because of the roar?

"This was the most exciting game I've ever seen, well done, boys!"

At the scene, Audience A shouted loudly along with the crowd. He was actually watching the game for the first time, but in order to appear professional, he used comparative words.

"Well... this is my first time watching a marathon. Do all the runners shout like this?"

Audience B, who had just refreshed his knowledge of marathons, quietly asked Audience A.

"Well...of course! This move is called...the roaring running method. It can stimulate athletes to reach their maximum limit. Only professional athletes can do it!"

Audience A stuttered a little.

"Oh, no wonder I couldn't run fast before! I'll try it next time when I run downstairs!"

Audience B had a look of realization on his face, while Audience A scratched his head and looked at him carefully to confirm that this guy was not near his home, and then he was ready to forget it.

But who knew that there was a real marathon enthusiast next to him, that is, audience member C:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I am a marathon runner! There is no way to run like this. Marathons are run peacefully. No one would waste their energy like this..."

However, before Audience C could finish his words, there was a series of “oohs” on the field——

After all, the contestants are all top athletes with very strong learning ability. When they saw Wu Di suddenly burst out of power after roaring, even though he couldn't understand it, he was shocked and started trying to roar!
Originally it was just a few runners who were taking the wrong direction and yelling a few times, but among them there were several old six!

When they discovered that yelling was not only useless but also caused the running rhythm to be a bit disordered, in order to make up for this disadvantage, other runners were also fooled, and they suddenly started to imitate Wu Di and accelerate suddenly!
This wave of performances was so realistic that the contestants who didn't believe it at all saw the effect on so many people and couldn't help but start roaring!
So the news spread from ten to ten, and everyone roared together, and the scene suddenly became a little out of control!

Audience A and Audience B looked at Audience C with disdain, as if to say, look, who is the layman?

Spectator C couldn't help but blushed, but the game commentator came to his rescue:

"The scene is on fire! None of our Olympic athletes want to lag behind others and start sprinting early before the sprint stage..."

As the crowd continued to roar, they indeed began to speed up, but how could they be the opponents of Wu Di, who was in full physical condition?
And because of this chaotic rhythm, Wu Di was stunned to hold on to the second limit of the lead!

And it was already almost 30 kilometers away!
We have truly reached the sprint stage of the marathon!

Wu Di roared again. This time the other athletes responded very quickly, but Wu Di was able to sprint forward after roaring. How could they sprint after their energy was exhausted after roaring? "Ahhh...wow!"

Kentaro Nakamoto roared and vomited all over himself!
Nakamoto looked at Wu Di's retreating back, his eyes were red with anger:

"Wu Di, so cunning!"

After this wave of accidents, Wu Di's final sprint was smooth!
He didn't even use his third limit, he was far ahead and saw the finish line first!

The Chinese fans who were guarding the finish line instantly fell into carnival when they saw that Wu Di was far ahead!

They are going to witness history!

China will achieve a breakthrough of zero medals in the important event of marathon!

The gold medal will also rise from 39 to 40!

Far more than No. 3 Little Britain’s 29, and together with the United States’ 46, it is ahead of other countries!
Other viewers were in disbelief!
Wu Di actually took the lead?
Is it going to change the situation in track and field where black people are first, white people are second, and yellow people are third?

At this time, Wu Di was almost reaching the limit. He glanced forward and saw that there was almost 100 meters left to the finish line. He then looked back and saw that No. 2 was far behind him, at least 300 meters away.

Wu Di gritted his teeth and rushed for almost 70 meters, but he couldn't sprint for the next 30 meters. He would reach the limit if he continued to sprint!

If it reaches the limit again, it will be another 1 million U.S. dollars. After these waves of big losses, his money will only be 3 million U.S. dollars left!
Wu Di looked back and saw that No. 2 was at least 200 meters away from him, so he held his stomach and started walking.

As the saying goes, riding a bicycle to the bar is all about saving money. After all, as long as he can get the gold medal, it doesn't matter to him whether he breaks the record or not!

Besides, Lunma itself is unlikely to break the record!

But Wu Di's move made the already carnival Chinese fans even crazier!
Let other viewers be even more shocked!
In the running event, just walk away and win the gold medal?
What power is this?
Did you win the gold medal so casually?
It's so invincible!
The atmosphere at the scene was explosive, and the live broadcast room of the sports channel was flooded by netizens:
"It takes me two hours to drive 40 kilometers from Yangcheng to Chancheng, but it only takes Wu Di 42 hours and 2 minutes to run 7 kilometers?!"

"It's so fierce, I can't catch up even on a bicycle!"

"Wu Di is not the reincarnation of the god of sports, right? NBA championship FMVP, marathon can be so fierce!"

"The limits of human movement!"

"The limits of human movement!"

"The limits of human movement!"

……

After Wu Di walked for more than ten meters, he regained his breath a little. When he saw someone on the roadside passing the national flag, he took it and put it on his body!
Then strode across the finish line very easily!
"Win! China wins!!!"

The commentator on the sports channel was so excited that his voice broke:

"2 hours, 07 minutes and 59 seconds! Wu Di won the London Olympics marathon gold medal with an undisputed lead!"

"This is a breakthrough for the Chinese delegation at Zero! Wu Di is invincible..."

Winning was a bit dramatic, and Wu Di was a little embarrassed to say in an interview:
"I never knew I could run so fast... At first I just thought about dividing 42 kilometers into four 4 kilometers and sprinting..."

He was right to think so at first, but who knew that the faster he ran, the harder he would run, which would extend his limit!
As for this unintentional remark actually inspired another legendary runner Kipchoge, that is a story for another day.

The audience was almost crazy with joy, but Wu Di didn't feel anything at all. Not only did he feel nothing, he even had some physical pain:
"$5 million... it will take at least two seasons to win the championship to get back the money..."

However, this feeling was suddenly wiped out when the awards were given at the closing ceremony of the marathon!

The majestic national anthem is played!
The Olympic Games is the Everest of sports, and he brought the march representing China to the top of the world!
Wu Di touched the heavy gold medal and burst into tears!

I didn’t shed any tears when I won the championship, but this time I couldn’t hold it in anymore!
It's all worth it!

Mudd, it’s only US$[-] million. Let’s run again next time at the Olympics!
In addition, he already has an Olympic gold medal. If he still wants to run a marathon, he shouldn’t have to run to reach the mark, right?
……

With the end of the marathon medal ceremony, the London Olympics has also come to an end.

In this Olympics, Wu Di is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one!
A series of honors came one after another, and "Time" magazine sent Wu Di an invitation to shoot a cover photo!
Strictly speaking, this is the second time that an NBA star has appeared on the cover of "Time" magazine. The last time was the old gangster. Jeremy Lin appeared on the Asian version earlier this year, but the world version of Wu Di is the second!

This wave of cards is really full!
But what makes Wu Di even more delighted is that all the rats in the hand control center were investigated and punished. According to the amount of money, the minimum was sentenced to 10 years, and the maximum was life!
And when the decision-makers met with the delegation of outstanding Olympic athletes, Wu Di got the opportunity to make remarks.

Soon, the General Administration will issue an announcement that the subsequent establishment of the Hand Management Center will be cancelled, and the specific functions will be handed over to the Basketball Association for social operation!
This decision will accelerate the development of Chinese basketball for at least 20 years!

However, not long after, something troubled Wu Di happened!

On August 8, the NBA officially announced that it had confirmed the four-party deal proposed by the Magic!
The main content of the transaction is that Howard went to the Heat to form a new Big Three with James and Wade, Bosh was sent to the 75ers, and the Magic received Afflalo, Harkless, Vucevic, etc., and Some draft picks, the Nuggets get Iguodala.

As soon as this deal came out, public opinion was applauded!
Except for Bosh fans, everyone felt that they had picked up a treasure!

Especially Heat fans and James fans!
After losing in the playoffs, they put the blame on the honest man Bosh. Now they send Bosh away in exchange for Peak Warcraft. The Big Three have finally evolved into a complete body!

The media also praised Riley for his wisdom and prowess. As we all know, Warcraft and Wu Di can't deal with each other. Teaming up with James, Cleveland's mortal enemy, will definitely bring the Heat's combat effectiveness to a higher level!
As a result, the Heat's chance of winning the championship has greatly increased, even surpassing that of the defending champion Cavaliers!

But this is definitely not what Wu Di is worried about. Master Huo sounds very fierce at his peak, but replacing Bosh, who is an honest man and can take the blame?

Next year, Master Shan Huo will be able to play James until he collapses without him taking action!

What worries Wu Di is that there is a problem with Love's contract renewal...

Love previously won the Most Improved Player Award and was selected to the All-Star bench last season. He has grown into an out-and-out superstar player.

However, Cavaliers general manager David Griffin found Wu Di and asked him to persuade Love to accept the same contract as Jordan...

This is ridiculous!

In his previous life, Love's contract at this time was four years and US$4 million. Now that the Cavaliers have won their first championship and made great contributions, how could they accept a four-year contract of US$6082 million?
Moreover, players with annual salaries exceeding tens of millions, such as Jamison and Davis, have just retired. The Cavaliers' salary cap is still sufficient, and it is more than enough to sign Love to a maximum salary.

"You know, although we still have some salary space now, we have lost so many veterans, so we have to make some reinforcements, right?"

David Griffin said quietly:

"Furthermore, Love did not seek an offer from the outside, and other teams did not submit an offer. After all, everyone knows that Love wants to stay with the Cavaliers. This is an advantage we can take advantage of!"

"The most important thing is that I must consider your future contract renewal and leave you enough space so that you can have face..."

Naturally, Wu Di refused on the spot and didn't explain much.

After David Griffin became the general manager, he has always kept a low profile and kept a low profile. This time he dared to ask him to do something that obviously hurt friendship. Without the instructions of Cavaliers owner Gilbert, He absolutely doesn't believe it.

I'm afraid it's a lie to ask him to bargain, but it's true to test his loyalty... (End of Chapter)
