Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 669 Closing Ceremony, a Shocking Scene (4K)

The Chinese tennis team won two gold medals in the Yanjing Olympics, and they were the most valuable gold medals in women's singles and men's singles.

This result ranks among the best even among the delegations in various advantageous events.

At this moment, the tennis fever in China has reached an unprecedented height because of these two gold medals.

50 gold medals, this is the number of gold medals won by the Chinese delegation at the Yanjing Olympics.

Not more, not less, just 50 pieces, which is very auspicious.

However, Chen Ran knew that in the previous Yanjing Olympics, the Chinese delegation won 48 gold medals.

The two extra gold medals belonged to their tennis team, and both of them were related to him.

One was won by Chen Ran as a coach, and the other was won as a player.

Such an experience will definitely be a legend that cannot be replicated.

There will never be such a beautiful story again.

At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Chen Ran was unsurprisingly elected as the flag bearer.

Because Li Na had already gone to North America to participate in the North American season, and even other tennis players had already left Yanjing, leaving only Chen Ran alone, which also made him seem very different.

After a week of rest, Chen Ran's leg injury has healed a lot, but he still feels some pain occasionally.

To be on the safe side, he decided to extend his vacation time.

This year, Chen Ran not only missed the US Open, but he will also continue to take leave for the subsequent China Open and Shenzhen Masters.

As for the year-end finals to be held in Shanghai at the end of the year, he has not yet made up his mind whether to withdraw or not.

Because it is still early, everything will depend on your physical condition at that time.

But what made him grit his teeth was that at the closing ceremony of the Olympics, he was the only one holding the flag, but Yao Ming not only did not share the burden, but also went to hug an Australian women's basketball player.

Didn't you say you don't like foreign girls? You are a hypocrite.

But this guy would have been fine if he didn't hug her, but once he hugged her, the athletes watching got excited and rushed forward one after another.

Everyone is there to watch the fun.

"Is Yao Ming married?"

"Well... it's better to be married!"

Chen Ran was not polite and shouted loudly in English: "Yao, Lauren, be together."

His shout made the crowd even more excited, and they followed Chen Ran, the "number one in tennis", to cheer.

"Together!"

"Together!"

"Together!"

Most foreign athletes may not know that Yao Ming is married.

Or in their opinion, what's the big deal about getting married?
Then the sound became louder and louder.

At this time, Yao Ming felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red.

The Australian women's basketball player originally just wanted to hug her and tell her how much she missed her, but she also knew that she already had a wife, so she didn't have too many thoughts.

But now, with hundreds of people around cheering him on, the Australian girl hugged him tighter and tighter, unwilling to let go. Yao Ming was in a dilemma.

That Australian girl originally played center on the basketball team and was very strong.

If Yao Ming didn't try hard, it would be difficult for him to break free from the Australian girl's arms.

"Lauren...please let me go. It's not good with so many people watching."

"Yao, I just want to hug you for a little longer, can you fulfill my wish?"

Chen Ran was amused by this and continued to tease, "Yao, you can't go against a woman's wishes!"

When these words were posted on the Internet in later generations, they were full of regulation and sarcasm.

But in this day and age, most people cannot hear the hidden meaning of this statement.

Yao Ming was already a little shy and embarrassed, and after hearing Chen Ran's sarcastic remarks, he became a little hesitant.

The athletes watching were becoming more and more excited and were jumping up and down on the spot.

Some people even took out their cameras to record this moment.

The Chinese athletes were a little introverted, but they stretched their necks to look at the scene, looking very interested.

As for the other players of the Chinese men's basketball team, they seemed to be in a dilemma.

They wanted to make fun of the event, but seemed a little hesitant.

After all, Yao Ming is the absolute boss of the team, and his majesty has always been in their hearts, which makes them have many concerns.

So the look they gave Chen Ran was full of admiration.

He is the only one who dares to stir up trouble like this.

Two words: awesome!
"It will be terrible for Yao Ming when he returns. He will definitely be forced to kneel on a durian."

"His wife is not a good-tempered one. It is said that Yao Ming had to be a dog-licker for several years before he could get her."

"It's over, it's over. This scene is unbearable to watch."

The men's basketball players all thought so.

This is the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, in front of audiences across the country and around the world.

You can imagine how angry and crazy that woman would be.

She is very proud and has a high opinion of herself.

Even though Yao Ming is already an NBA All-Star, she still feels that he is out of her league.

In fact, there are also many experts in love among the men's basketball team.

For example, Zhu Fangyu, who runs a bar in Dongguan, can naturally be seen as Yao Ming's wife.

But these things have nothing to do with him, so he doesn't point them out.

Hey, there's something good to watch.

Zhu Ba was secretly delighted in his heart.

As for Chen Ran, he didn't expect that his excitement would cause such an unpredictable butterfly effect.

This plot doesn't match the previous life.

At that time, Ms. Lauren Jackson hugged Yao Ming, then looked at him affectionately for a while, said a few words, and then separated.

But at this moment, it seems that the plot is heading in a completely different direction.

Chen Ran didn't expect that his casual words "together" would have such great power that it directly caused the flood in the Australian woman's heart to burst out.

Do you want to light another fire?
Chen Ran thought so.

But he was also a little worried. What if this matter got out of hand and was difficult to deal with? As the instigator, would he still have to bear the pressure of public opinion?
In fact, in this day and age, these things don’t matter.

This is not the Internet of later generations, where keyboard warriors will stare at everything with wide eyes and then tear it apart madly.

The Internet in this era is still relatively tolerant and relaxed, and everyone enjoys hearing such gossip news.

I still say that, I was working so hard holding the flag, but you went off to hug an Australian girl, you deserve it!
At this time, a black uncle suddenly shouted in English: "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh that Uncle Hei was still the real deal and dared to speak and shout.

As soon as the black uncle shouted, other foreign athletes immediately followed suit, shouting "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss".

Before Yao Ming could react, the Australian girl's mind went blank.

She didn't care and really kissed him.

Not to the face, but to the mouth. The TV broadcast camera also clearly recorded all of this and spread it all over the world in an instant.

After all, human nature is gossipy, and things between men and women are the easiest to make people excited.

CCTV, which has always been known for its conservatism and rigor, was also caught off guard by this scene.

They all forgot to cut the scene.

Generally speaking, if any sudden and inappropriate scenes occur during these large-scale sporting events, CCTV's broadcast will be cut off immediately.

But this time, they forgot to cut it.

Suddenly, the crowd began to scream and shout.

Some foreign athletes who didn't know what was going on even shouted, "Marry him, marry him!"

As for the black uncle who had just done the trick, he was so excited that he clapped his hands, danced, and howled like Tarzan from time to time.

He was really excited.

Chen Ran didn't join in the fun, he just covered his eyes.

The scene was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look at it any further.

As for Yao Ming himself, he was so shocked by this scene that his soul left his body.

He did not resist, but just stood there.

It was several seconds later that he woke up, exclaimed that something was wrong, and pushed Lauren Jackson away with great difficulty.

However, it was too late.

What was supposed to happen has happened.

The successful Australian girl didn't argue anymore. She just waved to the surrounding athletes and left with a smile.

This Australian horse really has a very good attitude.

After all, this time she got what she wanted.

Lauren Jackson was very grateful to two people, one was the black uncle who gave her a kiss just now, and the other was Chen Ran.

She didn't know the black uncle's name, so she could only nod.

As for Chen Ran's name, it was well-known and she had naturally heard of it.

But Lauren Jackson didn't always follow the tennis news. She only knew that Chen Ran won the men's singles championship at the Olympics, but she didn't know that he withdrew from the US Open due to injury.

"Chen Ran... Thank you. Our country's tennis players have already left the delegation and went to the United States to participate in the competition. Why didn't you go?"

"Did you stay here today on purpose to give me an assist?"

"Oh, thank God, this must be God's will!"

I bought a watch last year!

This silly Australian girl actually made up a drama on her own, leaving Chen Ran speechless.

It seemed as if the scene just now was planned by him.

Then, Yao Ming looked at Chen Ran with a bit of annoyance and kept shaking his head.

As for the black uncle who was causing trouble, he was still dancing with his hands and feet waving, but Yao Ming simply ignored him.

Because you have no other choice but to ignore him, can you beat him up?
As for Chen Ran... Dayao didn't know how to start, and could only complain: You killed me.

"Uh...but it was obviously that black uncle who was dancing the most happily, and I just asked you to hug him!" Chen Ran said helplessly.

Yao Ming shook his head, then walked away with his head down, his expression grim, as if a storm was about to come.

At the same time, this video on the Internet attracted a wave of clicks, making netizens across the country excited.

In just a few minutes, the number of hits and comments on this "Yao Ming and Lauren Jackson's passionate kiss video" has surpassed most of the Olympic events.

As expected, only gossip between men and women is always the top trend.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe it at all."

Chen Ran's original remark was just a joke, but with the instigation of those foreign netizens, it developed into an unexpected side.

I can only say that this time the action was really big and it was a lot of fun.

Fortunately, this is 2008, not 2024.

After the closing ceremony, Chen Ran also took a look at some online comments and reports.

Is everyone still eating melons with great interest?

Some Yao Ming fans even made a wish in the message post: I hope Yao Ming gets divorced and leaves that snobbish woman as soon as possible.

Some Yao Ming's fans even said that they would be Chen Ran's loyal fans from now on and would support all the products he endorses.

"You are the benefactor of us fans."

"We really hate that guy named Ye!"

It's like the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

Chen Ran was also amused by this group of people.

Most netizens also admire Chen Ran’s ability to entertain people.

Without Chen Ran, they wouldn’t be able to get such explosive news.

They were extremely impressed by Chen Ran.

After all, although most Chinese athletes have outstanding performance, their performance is very boring.

Not to mention foreign media, domestic netizens often mock them as a group of emotionless robots.

Chen Ran is really good at entertaining people, which is completely different from their traditional impression of Chinese athletes.

He obviously knows what the audience wants to see and what the market needs.

We need such a lively person, he is so down to earth.

You see, those who were making a fuss at the side were all foreigners except Chen Ran. He was the only Chinese athlete.

"Chen Ran, well done!"

“I wasn’t your fan before, but from now on we are your fans.”

"It's a pity that Ivanovic went to participate in the North American season, otherwise you could also stage a kiss of the century."

"Chen Ran, don't worry about it. I'm sure Dayao wants the same thing in his heart. He just doesn't know how to say it. You helped him fulfill his wish, and he can't thank you enough. Believe me, this is true."

Some netizens even feel that they understand Yao Ming better than Yao Ming himself.

I'm so confused. I heard that I broke so many keyboards while kneeling these days. And you still want to thank me?
Obviously, Chen Ran is troubled by the enthusiasm of netizens.

These heartless guys are only concerned with eating melons and having fun. They haven't considered my situation, right?
That guy Yao Ming hates me to death.

And that shrew named Ye, I guess she wants to kill me.

And...it's obvious that the one who made the greatest contribution is that black uncle, why do you want to name me as the person with the greatest contribution?

This is not fair!
You guys are too biased towards that black uncle!

And those media, you are busy reporting this gossip instead of doing your job.

Because of the incident in the closing ceremony, it brought a huge amount of traffic to major portals. They loved Chen Ran so much that they regarded him as a benefactor.

Some editors even wrote articles like: "On Chen Ran's true character", "How vivid and rare is Chen Ran's image among Chinese athletes", "From Chen Ran, we see the vigor and enthusiasm of young people"

After all, among those people who were making a fuss, all of them were foreigners, and Chen Ran was the only Chinese athlete.
