Four years ago, the fledgling Wang Zelin could only watch with envy from the back of the team as Yi Jianlian served as the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation at the London Olympics.
Unexpectedly, four years later, it would be his turn this time.
If you think about it carefully, this is actually quite reasonable. Since the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in 1984, the Chinese sports delegation has been led by tall men's basketball players as flag bearers. Yi Jianlian was the 6th Olympic chess player at the time.
In the previous two Olympic Games, Yao Yao served as the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation.
With such a tradition already in place, coupled with Wang Zelin’s reputation as one of the top athletes in China, it is natural for him to become the seventh Olympic flag bearer since the 1984 Olympic Games.
It's also thanks to Wang Zelin's sudden appearance, otherwise the athlete who served as the flag bearer for this Olympic Games in the original time and space should have been the fencing Olympic champion Lei Sheng.
As for why there is such a change, it is naturally because in the original time and space, the Tianchao men's basketball team after Dayao retired was so unsatisfactory. Even a provincial team like Baodao could lose, so how could they have the nerve to run for the Olympic flag bearer?
.
As a result, since 1984, the tradition of the men's basketball team serving as the flag bearer in all Olympic Games was discontinued.
To some extent, this is an absolute shame for the men's national basketball team.
Fortunately, the men's basketball team in this time and space has not lost this fine tradition. Wang Zelin, who is unrivaled in the Chinese sports world, was naturally selected as the flag bearer for this Olympic Games.
If nothing else happens, Wang Zelin will not only serve as the flag bearer for this Olympic Games, but will also be locked in the flag bearer position for the next two Olympic Games.
Of course, the premise is that Wang Zelin was still playing basketball at that time.
This good news was announced quickly, and the majority of domestic fans also expressed their approval.
Time flies, a new generation replaces the old, and the Arab League's Olympic flag-bearer position is replaced by Wang Zelin, which is completely expected.
It can be seen from the composition of this men's basketball team that the Tianchao men's basketball team really gave everything they had for this Olympics, just to give it a try!
Domestic fans also have unprecedented expectations.
Because of Wang Zelin's existence, it means that this may be the strongest team in the history of Tianchao men's basketball team!
The best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the previous Olympic Games was the quarterfinals and eighth place. In the World Cup in Spain two years ago, the men's basketball team has achieved a qualitative breakthrough in the world competition. It won the bronze medal for the first time in history and became the world's No. 1 player.
three.
But basketball is different from football. The significance and influence of the Basketball World Cup are still far inferior to the Olympic Games, which are also held every four years.
As long as they haven't made a historic breakthrough in the Olympic Games, both the men's basketball team members and domestic fans will inevitably have a trace of regret in their hearts.
What's more, the World Cup and the Olympic Games are two things that are truly good.
…
…
In 2016, the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, also known as the 31st Summer Olympics, were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 5 to 21, 2016.
Rio de Janeiro has also become the first South American city to host the Olympic Games in Olympic history, and also the first Portuguese-speaking city to host the Olympic Games.
In domestic time, the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games is scheduled for the morning of August 6.
On the last day of July, that is, July 31, the Tianchao Sports delegation arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The situation in Brazil has been turbulent in the past two years. The economy, environment and public security have been relatively average. The most intuitive thing is that many national teams who have arrived have successively sent out Olympic selfies.
The beds used for athletes to sleep on are normal-sized, and many people cannot sleep on them at all.
Especially for tall basketball players, they are the tallest on average among the Olympic teams.
Of course, some countries with deep pockets will make preparations in advance, striving to provide athletes participating in the Olympics with better food, clothing, housing and transportation, and to allow everyone to participate in the Olympics.
Be fully committed to the next Olympic Games.
Dayao also knew this, so before departure, he had arranged local hotels for the men's basketball team members, and all expenses were paid out of his own pocket.
It can be seen from this that although Dayao can no longer play for the country, he still regards himself as a member of this team!
There is nothing wrong with this approach, if it still attracts ridicule from local Brazilian media and even some foreign media.
Although Brazil successfully hosted this Olympic Games, due to the poor economic development of Brazil in the past two years, the conditions of all countries are very poor.
However, it is not that they did not spend their own money to move the team out. Among the 207 participating countries and regions participating in the Rio Olympics, teams from two countries chose to move out.
Except for the Chinese men's basketball team, the rest is the American Dream Team.
The members who can participate in the Dream Team are all leaders in the NBA. They are basically a group of stars worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Their living conditions are definitely different from other countries and even other sports in the United States.
Basically, in every Olympic Games, members of the Dream Team will choose to stay in a hotel outside. This has almost become a routine.
However, this year the Chinese men's basketball team chose the same "privilege" operation as the American Dream Team, which will inevitably cause complaints from some fans.
The Dream Team has that strength, but why does the China Men’s Basketball Team have it?
Except for Wang Zelin's fame, even Yi Jianlian's fame and strength in the world basketball world are just like that. The rest are all a bunch of unknowns, and the results of the Chinese men's basketball team in previous Olympic Games have been very poor.
The best results are in the top eight, and only a few times. Why do you have "privileges"?
There is no harm without comparison. When the fans join in the fun and compare the two teams, it is really ridiculing.
People are stupid and have too much money, they really take themselves seriously, the alternative scenery of the Olympic Games... similar topics emerge in endlessly.
It is foreseeable that if the Chinese men's basketball team cannot make a breakthrough in this year's Olympics, they will definitely become a laughing stock.
Regarding this, the men's basketball team members were a little nervous at first, but when they thought about the terrifying strength Wang Zelin showed in the previous two weeks of training, their mentality immediately stabilized.
And what about Wang Zelin?
That guy is now the head of a dynasty that has won three consecutive NBA championships, and is a legend comparable to the god of basketball, Michael Jordan.
Naturally, he will not pay attention to the messy comments from the outside world.
Our goal this time is one - to hit the medal!
When Wang Zelin shouted this slogan in the hotel where the men's basketball team was staying, the members of the men's basketball team became completely excited.
The various opinions of foreign media now will only serve as motivation for the men's basketball team to move forward.
As long as they really do it, these ridiculing words will become the best foil.
