Chapter 48 a Proud Opening Ceremony! Chinese Team Vs. American Team

Kyoto time, evening of August 8th.

The world-renowned opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held grandly.

When the countdown to the opening ceremony ended, the first thing to start was the welcome fireworks.

The whole of Kyoto was shrouded in the splendor of fireworks, with sounds and cheers everywhere.

Then the flag-raising ceremony was held.

Nearly 100,000 spectators stood up together, watched the national flag gradually rise, and all sang along loudly, with pride in their eyes.

The passionate tune spread throughout the venue with the chorus of 100,000 people, and was broadcast live on television to more than 200 countries around the world!

This is a moment that all Chinese people should be proud of.

After the flag-raising ceremony, it was time for the cultural performance.

The entire performance, with its grand and majestic momentum, displayed the 5,000-year-old civilization of China, and showed the world China's ancient culture, as well as the concepts and attitudes that China upholds in its development in the new era.

Various images were constantly changing, accompanied by the voice of commentary, which brought the atmosphere on the scene to a climax.

It also brought the pride of all Chinese people around the world who were watching the live broadcast of the Olympic Games opening ceremony to a peak.

It also allows audiences around the world to begin to understand the mysterious country of China.

The Chinese delegation in the audience were also very excited, with tears in their eyes!

Jiang Chen stood next to Yao Ming, tears in his eyes, and whispered: "Awesome! This is the right rhythm to start the Olympics! The performance at our opening ceremony was really high-level!"

Jiang Chen watched these cultural performances with mixed feelings in his heart.

Even though I have seen it many times in my previous life, I am still shocked.

He couldn't help but think of the 2021 Olympics in his previous life. It could no longer be described as ugly, it could only be described as terrifying.

All the programs were filled with a sad and gloomy atmosphere, and the various weird shapes and dances made the audience feel cold and sweaty.

After the opening ceremony, the whole world started to complain crazily.

A Chinese netizen said bluntly, "Art can be down-to-earth, but please don't be too down-to-earth; art can have souls, but not ghosts; art can have aura, but not supernatural; art is for the audience, not to send them away!"

Even Japanese netizens couldn't stand it and made comments and asked soul-searching questions: "Is this... art? I don't understand it."

Some netizens mocked: "Perfect tomb-opening style, no problem!"

Even the famous Japanese director Takeshi Kitano said that the opening ceremony was embarrassing...

Now, feeling the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympics again, Jiang Chen's heart is filled with pride.

This level is totally not on the same level!

I have to say that the Chinese Olympics was very successful.

Since this Olympics, more and more people in the world have come to know China, and China's influence in the world has grown.

...

After singing the Olympic theme song, the athletes from various countries entered the stadium.

The whole process lasted nearly two hours.

The Chinese Sports Delegation was the last to enter.

Yao Ming served as the flag bearer and walked at the front of the team.

There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, and shouts of "Come on China" resounded throughout the stadium.

.....

After the entrance ceremony, the opening ceremony also came to an end.

The senior leaders of the Olympic Committee began to give speeches and finally announced the official start of the Olympic Games.

That night, China amazed the world in 4 hours.

...

The next day, media around the world were reporting on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

This Olympic Games set a record for the highest television ratings in human history.

Foreign media have given very positive comments on the opening ceremony, calling it a masterpiece of artistic beauty and a microcosm of Chinese culture.

On the Internet, netizens left messages to express their emotions and were proud of the country's prosperity!

...

At the same time, major sports events are also being carried out in an orderly manner in Kyoto.

August 10th.

The men's basketball program officially begins.

The first game is in Group B, which is known as the group of death, between the Chinese team and the US team.

This game has received unprecedented attention.

Three hours before the game.

The Wukesong Arena was already packed with people, and even the square outside the arena was crowded with people.

Enthusiastic fans held cheering signs and painted national flags on their faces, coming from all over to enjoy the Olympic atmosphere.

Although China is not a strong contender for the gold medal in basketball, basketball is very popular in China, and Yao Ming's reputation and influence ensure that every game of Chinese basketball attracts much attention.

I don't know when it started, but the Chinese national football team and men's basketball team are no longer just a form of entertainment or a sport.

Behind it are the expectations of more than one billion Chinese people.

It is no exaggeration to say that the performance of the Chinese national football team and men's basketball team has risen to the level of national honor.

Too many Chinese fans hope that the national football team and men's basketball team can rise and become strong teams in the world!

now.

This year's Chinese men's basketball team is considered the strongest in history and is anticipated by countless fans. The attention it receives is unprecedented.

Being placed in the death group has given the Chinese men's basketball team a sense of tragedy and determination!

In the first group match, the opponent was the powerful United States team.

This year's US team has assembled the strongest group of superstars in the NBA, led by Kobe and the Banana Boat Brothers, with Kidd as the captain, and the lineup is extremely strong.

The US team had missed the championship in three consecutive international competitions, so this dream team sent out its strongest lineup and was called the "Redemption Team."

Their goal is clear, which is to regain the championship and make the United States dominate the basketball world.

In the team strength list previously compiled by the media, the US Dream Team is undoubtedly firmly in the first place.

The only team that is considered to have the potential to threaten the Dream Team's championship is the Spanish team led by the Gasol brothers.

As for the Chinese team...it is not even within the scope of discussion.

Even with the combination of Yao Ming and Jiang Chen, no media or basketball experts believed that the Chinese team had the strength to compete for the championship.

The gap is too big.

At this time, both teams entered the pre-match interview session.

Interview room of the Chinese team.

Hundreds of media outlets turned their cameras to Yao Ming.

What all reporters are most concerned about is Yao Ming's injury, because in their eyes, Yao Ming is the absolute core that determines the upper limit of the Chinese team.

"Dayao, how is your injury recovery going? Are you sure you can start the game tonight? Will your ankle injury affect your condition?"
