Basketball Coach Li

Beijing time, July 13, 2001, nearly 9 pm.

Denver local time, July 13, 2001, nearly 7 am,

Li Nan was walking up and down in the lobby of his villa, the big-screen TV images were moving, but there was not much sound. Li Nan seems to be watching a TV program, but his eyes never look into the TV, and his ears are waiting for something...

At this time, the end of the TV program is Moscow, which is the bid program for the 29th Olympic Games.

And our Beijing in China is just one of the bidding cities.

Bid for the Olympics is the long-term wish of the Chinese people.

At this time, on TV, it was time for our Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee representative to make a presentation.

Our Olympic Committee chairman He Zhenliang appeared in a graceful manner.

"Mr. Chairman and dear colleague: Today, on behalf of my motherland and the 1.3 billion Chinese people who are full of eager hopes for this meeting, I am honored to introduce to you Beijing's second bid to host the Olympic Games...."

Next, Mr. Liu, a senior official in Beijing, Director Yuan of the National Sports Bureau, and Olympic committee members Lou Dapeng, Wang Wei, Deng Yaping, Yang Ling, Yang Lan and others made statements.

Finally, it is Mr. He Zhenliang's summary statement,

"Mr. Chairman, dear colleagues:

No matter what choice you make today, it will be recorded in history. However, there is a decision that will make history.

Your decision today will promote the friendship between the world and China through sports, thereby benefiting all mankind.

...

Choosing Beijing, you will bring the Olympics to a country with one-fifth of the world’s population for the first time in the history of the Olympics, giving more than one billion people the opportunity to use their creativity and dedication to serve the Olympic movement.

Dear colleagues, your message today will signal the beginning of a new era of global solidarity.

If the honor of hosting the 2008 Olympic Games can be awarded to Beijing, dear colleagues, I can assure you that Beijing in seven years will make you proud of today's decision.

Thank you. "

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and it was the same everywhere in the country.

Li Nan stopped walking back and forth at this moment, and he applauded with a little excitement.

An hour to introduce our time in China to the world, but Li Nan always feels that it is not enough. We still have a lot to say.

However, at this moment, Li Nan had indescribable pride in his heart, proud of the prosperity of his motherland.

Our motherland is strong and we have the ability to host the Olympics. We have to tell the world:

"Welcome to China!"

At this time, domestic squares, China Millennium Monument, Peking University and Tsinghua campus, Sanlitun... everywhere are overcrowded. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the big screen in front of him.

This is just a few microcosms of the country.

Everyone in China is watching and waiting for TV in every corner and place.

Everyone is waiting for that moment, looking forward to that moment.

Although Li Nan knew the result, he was still nervous when watching TV at the moment.

At this time, on the TV, the members of the Olympic Organizing Committee began to review the report. It was also at this time that they had to vote.

This is the first round of voting.

A total of 118 IOC members participated in the voting.

In the first round, 14 committee members of the bidding city and Samaranch did not participate in the voting, so 104 committee members actually voted. To win in this round, you must get 52 or more votes.

The three scrutineers are also working rigorously.

Countless Chinese people are also clenched tightly.

Nervous, really nervous.

I'm just nervous when I'm not there!

The scrutineers should print out the statistical results on the spot. The results are not announced on the spot, but have to be handed over to the President of the International Olympic Committee.

Everyone watched a black man walk to the other side of the conference hall with a piece of paper, and handed the paper to the old white-haired Samaranch.

"Can Beijing win?"

Everyone's eyes are staring at Samaranch, staring at the paper in his hand.

At this time, it happened to be ten o'clock in the evening Beijing time.

Everyone was expecting the old man to say that name, but no.

"Osaka has been eliminated."

It's such a simple sentence. After translation, everyone knows that Osaka has been eliminated.

In other words, no city received more than half of the votes in the first round.

Next, the second round of voting will be conducted immediately.

Afterwards, everyone knew. Beijing received 44 votes in the first round of voting. Toronto, Istanbul, Paris and Osaka received 20, 17, 15 and 6 votes each. Osaka, with the fewest votes, was eliminated in the first round.

"Huh~~"

Li Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard some sounds from Li in the big room behind him. He was anxious again and began to walk around the door unceasingly.

On TV, the second round of voting began directly.

A total of 106 IOC members participated in the voting this time.

It only takes five minutes to vote, but these five minutes seem to be a century long.

The sound in the room behind him became louder, Li Nan's breathing became heavy, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.

The more I get to the last moment, the more nervous I get.

No, it's actually excitement and anticipation!

Finally, it was 22:10 in the evening Beijing time, and the last moment of this meeting finally arrived.

At this moment, countless pairs of expectant eyes all over China are watching Moscow.

After a heart-wrenching five-minute wait, the black committee member got a statistical vote result, with a smile on his face, and he carefully sealed the envelope. This small gesture meant that the final result came out! He stood up and walked towards Samaranch.

After that, the two walked to the main stage together. At this time, the black committee solemnly handed the envelope to Chairman Samaranch.

There was no strange expression on the old man's face, he was very calm, and he couldn't guess which city finally won the honor.

"Before I announce the results of the voting, on behalf of the International Olympic Committee, I thank the cities of these five candidate countries..."

After a thank you note, it is finally time to announce the results.

"Now, I want to announce the result of the voting."

At this time, everyone's heart is betting on the old man, looking forward to him to say the answer we want.

At this time, he spoke,

"TheGamesofthe29thOlympicgamesin2008areawardedtothecityofBeijing."

The translation of my little brother did not keep up. Maybe many people did not understand the others, but Beijing, this is known to all Chinese.

"Oh!!!!!"

The people from the Beijing Olympic bid team at the scene jumped directly.

At this moment, only shouting can vent all his emotions.

All the hard work finally paid off.

Some people have tears in their eyes, some are hugging each other tightly, and some are shouting!

At this moment, nothing behind is important, and the whole country has become a sea of ​​celebration. Countless five-star red flags are fluttering in the wind, and countless shouts are gushing out~www.ltnovel.com~ Looking at the fluttering five-star red flag, watching so many Olympic people cheer for it, the hearts of the Chinese people are already boiling, and the sense of national accomplishment is like a moment. The child gushes out. The flame that was rising in my heart that wanted to win glory for the country was burning more and more, and it was the kind that could not be contained.

At this moment, what F4, what Meteor Garden, what Qingwu is flying, are all eclipsed in front of it!

This day belongs to China and belongs to Chinese sportsmen.

New Beijing, new Olympics.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics, let the world see, this is China!

...

Denver, in the lobby of the villa, the TV screen is still moving, but Li Nanren is nowhere to be seen.

Only heard two beeps,

"Wow~~~~"

"Wow~~~~"
