Chapter 503 Attacking the Fifth Gold

After the game, corresponding reports appeared on the front pages of major domestic news media.

"Men's basketball team advanced to the Olympic semi-finals and created the best record"

"Da Yao contributed a large double-double, 35 points and 17 rebounds crushed the Croatian men's basketball team"

In this game, from the data point of view, Dayao really played a god-level performance. Many people can guess the reason why the national team won from Dayao's data. In the Olympic basketball game, if a team's core players can score more than 30 points, it basically means that the victory is locked, of course, the premise is to exclude the US team.

Zhang Guan scored a total of 17 points, which is the second highest score of the national team. In addition, two players from the national team also scored in double figures. However, because Dayao's data is so good, Zhang Guan did not get a lot of media attention.

The semi-finals are also the best record achieved by the men's basketball team in the Olympics. The previous best result of the men's basketball team was the quarterfinals of the Olympics. It is precisely because of the best record that the media has praised this year's men's basketball national team.

In the other games of the day, the Lithuanian team finally defeated the Greek team, so the Lithuanian team became the opponent of the national team in the next round. The US team defeated the Australian team without any suspense, and in the last match between Spain and Argentina, the Spanish team beat the Argentine team with difficulty until overtime. They will face the US team in the semifinals.

...

Zhang Guan didn't have time to pay attention to the next men's basketball game. He still didn't participate in the celebration of the men's basketball team. Instead, he rushed directly to the National Stadium after the game to prepare for the evening track and field competition.

The first event in today's track and field competition is the men's 800-meter preliminaries, followed by the men's 200-meter final at ten o'clock in the evening.

A total of 64 contestants participated in the men's 800m preliminaries. In this event, West Asian countries have great strength, but in the past two years, African countries such as Kenya, Algeria, Sudan, South Africa and Morocco have also gradually rise. Especially in Kenya and Algeria, they have brought the "group running" in the long-distance running event to the middle-distance running event. In many middle-distance running competitions, two or three Kenyan runners or Algerian runners often adopt a teamwork approach , to achieve better results.

Prior to this, the biggest favorites for the men's 800m championship were Konya's Bangay and Korva, Sudan's Ismail and Bahrain's world champion Joseph Kamel. But just today, the biggest favorite to win the 800-meter championship has become Zhang Guan, because Zhang Guan just broke the men's 1500-meter world record.

Zhang Guan broke the 100-meter world record and also broke the 1500-meter world record, which means that Zhang Guan may break the world record in the three events between 100 meters and 1500 meters. 200 meters and 400 meters, Zhang Guan is the world record holder, which means that Zhang Guan is better at sprinting, and the shorter the distance, the more advantage Zhang Guan has. The distance of 800 meters is half less than that of 1500 meters, so Zhang Guan's hope of winning the championship will naturally increase.

So when Zhang Guan appeared on the field, he immediately attracted the vigilant or fearful eyes of many "African brothers". There is not much difference in the level of players in this event. The person who held the world record for meters instantly aroused the hatred of other players.

Those Kenyan players were even pondering whether they should unite with other African countries and use alternate leading tactics to kill Zhang Guan, but they also knew that it was impossible to achieve it now. There are many, such as Vietnamese players, Guam players, and Yemen players, all come to play soy sauce, and half of Zhang Guan's group are European players, and there are no middle-running powerhouses such as Kenya and Algeria. athlete.

Twenty-four of the sixty-four contestants will be able to advance to the next round of semi-finals. In addition to the top two in each group can be promoted, the eight with the best results can also advance.

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, the 800-meter preliminaries had already started before the sky darkened. The favorite to win the championship, Kenyan Bongay, made his debut in the first group, and then easily won the promotion as the first in the group. Then in the second group, a Sudanese player and a Saudi player won two qualifying places.

In the third group, another favorite to win the championship, Kenyan player Korva, also qualified successfully. Simmonds, the first person in the 800 meters in the United States, also qualified with him; in the fourth group, the European 800 meters champion Olmedo and Spain Sudanese star Ismail qualified together, and the fifth group qualified for two lesser-known athletes.

The two qualifying players in the sixth group are known to Zhang Guan. They are Kuwait's Azmi and Bahrain's Kamel. Both of them had played against Zhang Guan in the Asian Games two years ago. Carmel also competed with Zhang Guan for the 800-meter world championship.

The top two in the seventh group were won by the Cuban star Lopez and the Kenyan Lalang. Among them, Lopez also participated in the 1500-meter race and also competed with Zhang Guan. In addition, Bahrain's Ali is also in this group. He only ranked fifth. Fortunately, his results are not bad, and he may squeeze into an additional eight promotion places.

Zhang Guan appeared in the last group, which is the eighth group.

Under the promotion rules of the Olympics, it is more beneficial to play later, especially for the players who appear in the last group. They already know the results of other players, so they naturally know how fast they can run to get an extra eight. Promotion quota. Therefore, in the preliminaries of the midfield run, there must be more players who will advance in the last group.

The overall strength of Zhang Guan's group is not strong. There are three people participating with the B standard, and these three people will definitely be eliminated. Among the other four, only one is an African player, and the others are all athletes from Europe. Europe's strength in the 800-meter event is not strong, so there must be no suspense for Zhang Guan to advance to the semi-finals.

The fact is also the same. After running 700 meters, Zhang Guan directly launched a sprint and easily won the first place in the group.

...

In the semi-final of the 110-meter hurdles held at 9:30 in the evening, due to the absence of Liu Feiren, it lost a lot of color. The only remaining player of the national team in this event was also eliminated in the semi-final.

But the audience was not disappointed because after the 110-meter hurdles semi-final, the men's 200-meter final will be held soon. Zhang Guan is about to hit his fifth gold medal in this Olympic Games.

At the same time, Bolt will once again challenge Zhang Guan.

This time is different from the 100-meter final, because the 200-meter is Bolt's best project.
