Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 446: National table tennis players who have found female stars are all very unlucky

For Chinese audiences, the Olympic Games these days are exciting.

First, Liu Xiang won the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles by tying the world record, and then came the much-anticipated women's volleyball final.

Chen Ran's butterfly effect obviously did not affect the women's volleyball team, so the process of the game was exactly the same as in the previous life.

The Chinese Women's Volleyball Team completed a huge comeback after losing the first two sets.

Let 2 chase 3!

Is there any more exciting victory than letting 2 chase 3? Seizing the glimmer of life in a desperate situation and holding it firmly.

Because it was too late in Yanjing, Chen Ran in his previous life did not watch this game.

But this time he came to Athens in person, witnessed this shocking reversal, and was infected by the fighting spirit of the women's volleyball girls.

Of course, sports is ultimately a competition of strength.

To win the championship, you must have excellent strength.

Especially this time, 2 is chasing 3.

Although Chen Ran has also staged the drama of letting 2 chase 3 in Grand Slam events, it was not in the finals. He did not dare to play like this. And this time it was the Olympic finals held every four years, which was even more thrilling.

The gold medal won by the women's volleyball team was the last gold medal won by the Chinese army at the Athens Olympics.

So far, the Chinese Legion's gold medals in this Olympics have always been fixed at 34, which is indeed one more than the 33 in the previous life.

This one is Chen Ran’s men’s tennis singles gold medal.

This gold medal is also known as the three most valuable gold medals together with Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles and the women's volleyball team.

Also in the gold medal list, the gap between the Chinese delegation and the United States is only one, which can be said to be negligible.

This has also made countless Chinese people look forward to the Yanjing Olympics four years later.

It seems very possible to overtake the United States and take the first place on the list.

In addition, the tastes of Chinese people have become more and more picky.

Many netizens vowed that Chen Ran, Liu Xiang, and the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team must successfully defend their titles at the Beijing Olympics, otherwise they will be considered failures.

There is absolutely no room for error in the Olympics, which is happening at home.

The entire public opinion, whether it is the media or netizens, seems to be developing out of control.

He even gave Chen Ran a new goal, striving to achieve an unprecedented double-lap Golden Slam after the Yanjing Olympics!
Even the woman Graf has never achieved the double-lap Golden Slam.

"This group of people really have to look forward to Shu."

Chen Ran cursed secretly in his heart.

Even if I am eliminated in the first round of the Yanjing Olympics, what can you do?
In fact, from Chen Ran's perspective, the difference between a double-lap Golden Slam and a one-lap Golden Slam is not big, and it is just the icing on the cake.

Murray also has two Olympic gold medals, but he is still only ranked fourth among his contemporaries.

Of course, if given the chance, Chen Ran wouldn't mind adding another Olympic gold medal to his list of glory.

But this is by no means all of him.

……

When the mighty Chinese delegation returned to Yanjing on a special plane, Chen Ran acted with the entire team for the first time.

When he went to Athens before, he prepared for the war alone and went alone, not with the large army.

This time, in order not to leave everyone with his maverick and big-name appearance, he chose to return home with everyone even if he was traveling in economy class without any pretense.

Tennis is a solitary sport, so Chen Ran enjoys spending time with other athletes.

We are all athletes, with cheerful personalities, and there is no conflict of interest. When we are together, we can speak freely and say whatever we want. Unlike the various little tricks in the entertainment industry, three people can form four groups.

The athlete sitting with Chen Ran is Wang Liqin of the national table tennis team.

It stands to reason that he is the world's number one men's singles player and the favorite to win the Olympic gold medal.

But Wang Liqin's luck in this Olympics is worse than Kong Linghui's.

First, his men's doubles partner was injured before the match, forcing him to give up the men's doubles match.

Then in the men's singles competition, which had the best chance, Wang Liqin could only get a tasteless bronze medal after losing to Wang Hao in the semi-finals. The latter also lost the most valuable men's singles gold medal in table tennis.

Seeing Wang Liqin's depressed look, Chen Ran murmured in his heart: Does the leader want me to comfort him by putting the two of us together?

After all, one is the world's number one in tennis, and the other is the world's number one in table tennis.

Maybe the leader thought this would give the two of them a common language? But I don’t know how to comfort people!

Chen Ran and Wang Liqin chatted casually, but overall, the other party was still in a low mood.

"There will be a chance in four years." Chen Ran really couldn't think of any other words of comfort.

"I will be 30 years old in four years. It seems that I have no chance to win an Olympic gold medal in this life, not to mention the internal competition in our national table tennis is very fierce." Wang Liqin sighed pessimistically, "But you were only 22 years old at that time, and you won eight gold medals." Nine is inseparable from ten.”

"You are too optimistic. There are too many variables in four years, and there are too many tennis matches. Who can guarantee your physical health by then?"

Chen Ran's principle is very simple, and he will not make these promises easily.

At this time, Liu Xiang, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and said: "I am confident. I believe that I will be able to perform better in four years."

At the age of 21, he is full of infinite longing and optimism for the future.

Boy, don't be optimistic.

Four years later, you will encounter a very powerful enemy. Even if you are not injured, you may not be his opponent.

What's that Cuban's name? Chen Ran couldn't remember it for a while.

But he is a young man after all, and he will not understand the truth if he has not experienced ups and downs. It would probably be useless for Chen Ran to remind him now.

"Are you texting your girlfriend?"

Chen Ran found that Wang Liqin beside him had been typing and sending text messages.

"Um..." The young man blushed for a rare moment.

Chen Ran glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the name note on his phone was Yanzi.

amount……

He suddenly remembered the sensational news in his previous life.

It is true that national table tennis players have a tradition of looking for female stars, but in the end they never made a couple.

Kong Linghui found a top-18 actress, Zhang Jike found a top-tier actress, Tiantian, and Wang Liqin was even better. He found national-level actress Zhao Wei, who was reportedly pursued by the woman.

By the way, Ma Lin, the men's singles champion in 08, also found an unknown actress, and was eventually rewarded with a wave of gold coins, which seemed to be millions.

Among the Chinese sports teams, these table tennis players are the only ones who have a soft spot for female stars in the entertainment industry.

One by one, one after another.

Judging from this posture, Wang Liqin and the national-level female artist have been dating privately for a long time.

No wonder, both he and Kong Linghui were in unsatisfactory condition in this Olympics.

At this time, Liu Xiang turned around again and said mysteriously: "Chen Ran, do you know who his girlfriend is? I'll scare you if I tell you!"

Both of them are from the Magic City, so they have a good personal relationship and know some private things.

Liu Xiang thought Chen Ran didn't know, after all, the opponent played abroad all year round.

"Isn't it the one who played "Huan Zhuge Ge"?" Chen Ran said softly.

"Who told you? Where did you get the news?"

The two men were shocked and looked at him in surprise.

Revealed the secret?
"I just made a wild guess..." Chen Ran responded very quickly, "He has a note about Yanzi on his phone, so that's what I guessed."

"Swallow, little swallow?" Liu Xiang and Wang Liqin were speechless. They could also imagine what kind of imagination this was. It was simply too powerful.

"Chen Ran, this matter must be kept secret." Wang Liqin whispered, "No one knows about it now, whether it is a sports reporter or an entertainment reporter."

"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. If it is exposed by the media in the future, it will definitely not be what I said." Chen Ran brushed himself off in advance.

"Chen Ran, don't you want to find a female star?" Liu Xiang asked curiously, "It must be easy for you to find one."

"No...I don't want to! Do you really want to?" Chen Ran asked.

"Why not? Female celebrities are just beautiful!" Liu Xiang said matter-of-factly.

Chen Ran smiled and said nothing.

No wonder you, the boy, will find someone who "hides thunder in his crotch" in the future, and it will become a topic of conversation for most netizens after dinner.
