I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 458 Jaw-dropping
After an extremely hard-fought battle, the Chinese team defeated the German team unexpectedly with Yan Shixian's godly performance and won the first game.

Yan Shixian alone scored a triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 18 assists, including 10 of 7 three-pointers. His extraordinary scoring ability was jaw-dropping and he became famous in one battle.

He was impeccable both on the offensive and defensive ends. When the team was in a scoring drought, he opened up the situation with consecutive three-pointers. When he was needed to organize the team's offense, he showed a strong overall view and coordination ability.

This young basketball player who is good at offense and defense and can control the rhythm of the game is simply born for basketball. He is so perfect on the court that there is no weakness to be found.

He has no weaknesses whether it is his ball-holding ability, scoring ability or organizational ability. He relied on his gorgeous skills, determination to win, and stable emotions to overcome the tough challenge of the German team.

In the subsequent games, as the de facto ace and core of the team, Yan Shixian continued to lead the Chinese team to overcome all obstacles and even made it into the semi-finals, breaking Yao Ming's highest record of reaching the quarterfinals in the Olympics that year.

It’s a pity that he finally failed on the road to the semi-finals.

There is a joke in the basketball world that goes, "So-and-so didn't lose. He led a group of CBA teammates and tried his best."

Yan Shixian was actually with his CBA teammates in the Olympic Games, and it was easy to imagine how difficult the game was for him.

On the day they lost the qualification for the finals, everyone cried because they only lost by 7 points, which seemed like a gap that could be made up with some effort. But Yan Shixian knew that the gap between the two was much more than just 7 points, so he didn't cry.

He had tried his best, but the gap in overall strength made him helpless. As long as he tried his best, he would not be upset even if he lost, he would just start over.

Anyway, he is not even twenty years old, so he has plenty of time to make history.

Two yellow-skinned superstars emerged in this Olympics. One is Xiao Pan, a swimming athlete from Jiangxi Province who broke the defense of the Australian and American swimming circles, and the other is naturally Yan Shixian, who led the Chinese men's basketball team into the semi-finals on his own.

The two young men have made Jiangxi Province famous. The people in the Culture and Tourism Bureau have gone crazy and want to produce 24 short videos a day.

Although both are very strong, in terms of global influence, Pan, who has a neck full of gold medals, may still be slightly inferior to Yan Shixian, who has no medals. After all, basketball, one of the three major balls, has a large fan base.

The table tennis team’s fan club is nothing in front of basketball fans.

The most outrageous thing was that before the third place match, the shoes that Yan Shixian had specially customized to fit his feet perfectly for the Olympics were stolen!

The outrageousness of this incident is breathtaking. The Sixth Princess, who always keeps up with current affairs, played a meaningful movie "A World Without Thieves" on the day she received the news.

In the end, the fate of the Chinese team was the same as Yan Shixian's stolen sneakers. Their bronze medal was stolen and they lost the game regretfully.

Despite this, all fans at home and abroad have a consensus - that is, the Huaxia team lost, but Yan Shixian did not lose. He is the only player who did not enter the finals but was still selected into the best lineup by major sports media.

After the game, many people thought that Yan Shixian was fully capable of playing in the NBA at his current level. Of course, some people thought that he should first play in the college league in the United States.

Putting aside all these troubles, after watching the men's basketball game, the brother and sister's journey to France will come to an end.

The two did not spend money to buy tickets for the closing ceremony. After all, with the opening ceremony's show, Xia Qingdai had no hope for the closing ceremony. She didn't want to spend money to see the "blue beauty" with a big belly. Compared with those weird Nth genders, Xia Qingdai was more interested in her castle in the 21st century. After the basketball finals, she took her brother Xia Shanglu on a plane to London overnight.

Xu Yan did not follow them, but returned to China with the large group of star-chasing people.

Just watching the Olympics took her two weeks, and if she continued to play, her parents at home would become worried.

But Xia Qingdai and Xia Shanglu are different. This year can be said to be the most leisurely year for them because of Xia Shanglu's accidental injury. Since they have come all the way here, of course they want to have a good time.

After arriving in London, Xia Shanglu no longer needed Xia Qingdai as an interpreter. In terms of spoken English, Xia Shanglu, who had experience working at the Asian Games, was also quite good.

He was admitted to the Public Security University of Jiangxi Province with a score high enough to get into a 985 university. At that time, he broke the high score record of their university in the past five years. English was just a small case.

Standing on the streets of London with her brother, Xia Qingdai couldn't help feeling a little dazed as she looked at the two buildings in London that she had hammered down.

The streets of London in the 18th century, with horse manure flying everywhere, are completely different from the reinforced concrete streets of the 21st century. The only similarity is that they can both be described by the idiom "bustling traffic".

"Brother, we are staying in London for two days, right?"

"Yes, and you are going to that little village in Hampshire, aren't you?"

"Yeah, of course I have to go. It's a rare trip to Europe, so I have to see everything I want to see."

"Okay, whatever you want. Anyway, the tour guide has already made an appointment for us to visit Buckingham Palace."

August is the month when Buckingham Palace is open to tourists, but Xia Qingdai is not very interested in it.

In the 18th century, she attended three balls at Buckingham Palace, but she was not so eager to visit it. She was most interested in her own mansion, which was more interesting than seeing Buckingham Palace.

It was just that when Xia Shanglu was making the travel plans, he had made arrangements for them to visit Buckingham Palace, so she naturally accepted it with pleasure.

After all, she couldn't not make any strategies and at the same time be picky about those who did.

However, after visiting Buckingham Palace, the next stop should be Xia Qingdai’s mansion.

Before she arrived, she was a little nervous, wondering what the mansion would look like in the 21st century.
Last summer, she had a glimpse of her mansion during a video call with Xu Yan. This time she came in person to take a good look.

When she relied on her memory and took her brother to the villa in her memory, she found that this private villa was not open to the public.

She and Xia Shanglu could only look at the environment inside through the cracks in the wall. The tour guide told them that the current owner of this mansion was very rich and could maintain the villa by himself without earning extra ticket money.

"What a pity." Xia Qingdai sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
