Inside the athlete's lounge.
Zhang Guan thought that there would be many reporters to interview, but in fact, there was only one person. After all, the domestic media in this era were not wealthy, it was expensive for reporters to visit Athens, and the qualifications to enter the stadium were not so good.
The female reporter in front of him was not very familiar with Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan recognized her. This female reporter is a special reporter for the official media track and field, and she is famous for her report on Liu Feiren.
Official media reporters will naturally not ask some exaggerated questions, and female reporters are not familiar with Zhang Guan, so the questions are also quite satisfactory, and Zhang Guan's answer is also formulated as much as possible.
"Of course I am very satisfied with the result of 9 seconds and 83. I didn't think much about it at the time, just stepped forward and ran!"
"Maurice Green is indeed a strong champion as a defending champion, but I must have thought about the possibility of defeating him before the game. I believe every athlete will strive to sprint towards the highest level in the world."
"Preparing for the next final? You have reached this step, and you must be fighting!"
"The ultimate goal ... of course is the Olympic championship! I came for this gold medal! And I will try my best to break the world record!"
The female reporter looked at Zhang Guan with a surprised look. Zhang Guan answered several questions one after another. At first, it was quite a general answer, but it became more unreliable as it seemed later, even to the point of him saying he will break the world record.
"Dare to say this, but fortunately, this segment will only be broadcast tomorrow. If you run a countdown later, I will cut off the rest of the interview." The female reporter thought to herself.
...
At the end of the 100m semi-finals, it was 9:10 pm Athens time, but then Hou had just finished dinner. As the head of the entire delegation, he was busy all day long, it wasn't until an hour ago that he temporarily ended the work at hand and started eating dinner.
Irregular work all year round caused Director Hou to suffer from chronic stomach problems, but the diet in Greece was unpleasant to taste. In addition to eating so late, Director Hou's old stomach problems have recurred.
Several stomach medicines were given to slowly stop the stomach discomfort.
"Director! Good news!" A staff member of the delegation hurried over.
"Won the medal again?" Director Hou asked subconsciously.
"This is not the case. But it is also a historic breakthrough. In the men's 100-meter sprint event, our country's players entered the final!"
"What! Hundred meters final?" Director Hou stood up suddenly.
The track and field event, as the most-watched item in the Olympic Games, has always been the weakness of the national team. The men's 100-meter trapeze, the single most-watched game in the Olympic Games, is the weakness of the national team. The national team's ability to make breakthroughs in this event and enter the Olympic finals is even more important than winning a gold medal in those strong events.
"When will the finals begin?" Director Hou asked immediately.
"11 o'clock."
"It's less than two hours, and it's not too late to go, prepare a car for me, let's go now." Director Hou said.
"Director isn't it too late, you still have a lot of things tomorrow, and your stomach problems also need you to rest early. This will take more than an hour on the circuit, and if you get stuck in the traffic, you might not be able to come back after 1 AM. The American team occupies absolute strength in the 100-meter sprint event. The athletes in our country can already make it to the finals. It is very unlikely that there will be a breakthrough, or should we go back and watch TV broadcast? "
"No, I must go! Our athletes made it to the finals, even if he ran the last place, I must go to the scene to cheer him on! At this time, I have to stand with our athletes" Director Hou said firmly.
...
In the lounge, Greene has been drinking water. He hopes to speed up the circulation of body fluids and break down the lactic acid in the muscles as soon as possible.
"Recover your energy as quickly as possible, you have to eat something." Greene found a special food, something similar to a sports energy bar, but in fact, it tasted far worse than those on the market. However, this is the latest scientific research product of a company in the United States. The production cost is very good, but this is sponsored food, so there is no cost.
"I have to rest right away. Do I have more than an hour? I should be able to recover a lot of energy." Greene simply lay down.
On the other side, Yu Gui simply knelt beside Zhang Guan and kept massaging his leg muscles.
"How is it? How does the muscle feel?" Yu Gui asked.
"It feels normal, I was tired just now, but now I'm over it." Zhang Guan said.
"Okay, you should take the time to rest and recover as much energy as possible. The food and drink are next to you, I am also there, and if you need something call me ..." Yu Gui said.
...
The two-hour rest period only allowed Zhang Guan to restore 3 physical strength points. At this time, Zhang Guan's physical strength was 59 points, and he still did not reach 60, while the state was 73 points. Based on Zhang Guan's current physical strength and state, It is impossible to achieve good results. So Zhang Guan used two bottles of physical recovery potions and three bottles of state recovery potions to increase his physical strength and status to 100 points.
"The task is completed!" The information was given by the system only made Zhang Guan happy for one second, but the new system news made Zhang Guan's mood fall to the bottom.
"In addition to the physical condition and sports status, sports equipment is also very important for an athlete. The various sports equipment provided for you in the mall can effectively improve training and competition results by using these sports equipment. "
"What's the situation? It started selling equipment! Sure enough, it started selling equipment!" Zhang Guan began to scold in his heart, but while scolding, he still opened the mall in the system and found one more "sports equipment" section.
Entering the sports equipment mall, Zhang Guan immediately saw a variety of items, and they were also divided into different categories. For example, shoes include basketball shoes, football shoes, nail running shoes, tennis shoes, bicycle shoes, equestrian riding boots, various skates, and even roller skates; other categories of goods are table tennis, badminton, tennis rackets, golf sticks, swimming goggles, boxing gloves, weight protection belts, all kinds of firearms, archery bows, etc., all kinds of sports equipment are available at different prices.
Zhang Guan casually ordered a running shoe for track and field, and the price of up to 10 skill points suddenly made Zhang Guan's face difficult to look at. Ten skill points are more than enough to upgrade the three skills, but this is only the cheapest out of all the sports equipment.
"The system is still as good as online games. The equipment is on sale. The next step is whether to sell gemstones, gemstone synthesizers, and hole punches..." Zhang Guan thought a little trembling here, and then no longer dare to continue thinking about going on.
Zhang Guan withdrew from the mall, and at this moment, the system prompt popped up again.
"With good equipment, it does not mean that you can dominate the sports world. As an athlete, the experience of the game is indispensable and an indispensable asset for an athlete. So the system brings you a variety of experience book which will allow you to learn from the experience of the seniors so that you can quickly grow into an excellent athlete. You can buy it at the mall."
"Come again? Senior experience? What is this?" Zhang Guan scolded again in his heart, and then entered the mall in the system.
"Michael Jordan basketball career game experience ", "Michael (Mike) Tyson boxing career game experience"," Michael Schumacher Formula One racing career game experience", all three Michaels are here!" Zhang Guan continued looking down, it's all the game experience of superstar athletes.
"Roger Federer Tennis Career Experience ", "Tiger Woods Golf Career Experience", " Zinedine Zidane Football Career Experience", "Marin Table Tennis Career Experience", " Xiandan Badminton career game experience" and others "
The names of these superstar athletes represent the highest achievements in their respective fields, and they look very attractive. Zhang Guan felt that these things seemed very powerful, and then subconsciously looked at the price.
"Forget it, I can't afford it. After reading it, I'm still worried. Let's see something else!" Zhang Guan narrowed his neck.
"Allen Iverson basketball career game experience ", this is much cheaper than Jordan! Huh? Kidd seems to be quite expensive, O'Neal is more expensive than Kidd, this is based on the player's strength to set the price, is it? What about other projects ... Beckham, Kahn, Big and Small, Kaka, even Messi! It looks so good! Unfortunately, I can only look at the cheapest ones to buy. Sorry, let's focus on the finals now! The game is about to start! "
Zhang Guan's attention returned to the field, back to the upcoming 100-meter trapeze battle, this will be his last game in the Olympic Games, and will also become his battle for the gods!
"This is the first time I have increased my physical strength and status to full. According to the system description, if the physical strength value exceeds 80, the strength and speed will increase; if the status value exceeds 80, it will exceed the level. Now my two values are all 100, and it's in the best state ever. It seems that this championship is mine to grab!"
