Chapter 136 A chance meeting with an acquaintance and supporting the women’s volleyball team
Although receiving a silver medal is not perfect, it is enough to comfort me. Whether I will participate in the next Tokyo Olympics again in four years is not mentioned for the time being, but at least this medal also records an experience worth remembering.
Li Zhao, who had finished his journey, was already prepared to return home first, but before leaving, he unexpectedly received a call from Yao Ming.
"Aren't you very busy? Why do you have time to call me now?" After answering the phone, Li Zhao was the first to ask.
"There are indeed a lot of things to do. I just thought of calling you after I finished my work. I also took a look at the results of your game just now. I originally thought that you were the most promising to win the championship first, but I didn't expect that you still fell short.
So a little.
By the way, you're not planning to go back to Sao Paulo now, are you?" Yao Ming responded to his words and then suddenly asked.
"Yes! Is there any problem?" Li Zhao asked doubtfully.
"If you're not in a hurry, you can go and watch the women's volleyball finals first. Their game will start in less than two hours. If you rush there now, it's probably not too late," Yao Ming said.
"If we simply rush there, we'll still have enough time, but it's hard to get tickets at this time!" Li Zhao couldn't help complaining.
"You are a local coward here, don't tell me that you are incapable of doing this." Yao Ming knew his abilities well, so he didn't accept his tricks at all.
"Okay, let me try!" Li Zhao didn't say anything more this time. After hanging up the phone, he made another call to Li Ruolan.
"Hey, hey~..." Yao Ming on the other end couldn't help feeling stunned when the phone was suddenly hung up like this.
"Please, even if he really has the channels and ability, he still needs some time to prepare in advance. Haven't you already prepared the tickets for him? Why don't you give him a check?"
His wife Ye Li, who heard the whole conversation next to him, asked at this time.
"I originally just wanted to whet his appetite, but I didn't expect him to give up like that. He was so confident!" Yao Ming sighed helplessly.
But what he didn't know was that it didn't take long for Li Zhao to receive a response from Li Ruolan.
"I was pretty lucky. Someone agreed to transfer a ticket, but the other party's request was very strange. They had to meet with the ticket buyer before deciding whether to agree to sell it. I sent someone to try to transfer it before.
It's a pity that the other party didn't agree because he saw that he was not Chinese." Li Ruolan said on the other end of the phone.
"Whatever happens, I'll go there in person at worst. This is understandable in the first place. Please send me your address, please!" Li Zhao responded.
"Okay, the address will be sent to you soon. In addition, according to the feedback from the people I sent out, there is no doubt that the other party is from country C. Although he is wearing sunglasses, he does not feel like an ordinary person, although he should not be a bad person.
, but you'd better be more careful." Li Ruolan said with concern on the phone.
Li Zhao smiled noncommittally and hung up the phone after giving Li Ruolan a few more instructions. Not long after, he received a new message on his phone.
According to the address sent, the trader's location happened to be at the reception outside the women's volleyball finals, which saved a lot of effort. But when he actually got there and saw the target person, he was stunned.
Living.
"Lao Han, how could it be you?" Li Zhao asked in shock.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the person who wants to buy the ticket is you!" The man wearing sunglasses opposite took off his glasses at this time, revealing a face that Li Zhao was familiar with, but it was the one he had seen before last year.
Han Han passed by.
"Why did you show up here and know that it was me who wanted to buy the ticket?" Han Han's self-identification only made Li Zhao's doubts deepen.
"To say the least, this is really a coincidence. Didn't Lao Yao ask you to support the women's volleyball team at the end? In fact, he had already made arrangements. Unexpectedly, he provoked you and vowed to solve it by himself, and then he didn't
Hang up the phone. But in fact, he has already made arrangements, and the person responsible for contacting you is me. The influence of volleyball is not as big as football and basketball, so I will be the one who comes over to ask for tickets at this time.
I think 80% of the time it should be you.
As for why I came here, have you forgotten the agreement we made last year?" Han Han explained.
When Han Han said this, Li Zhao finally reacted, and it was indeed almost time to make the original appointment. In addition to filming, they also had follow-up advertising cooperation.
"So you should have come with the entire filming team this time! I didn't expect you to come to watch the women's volleyball game. But after you transfer your tickets to me, won't you be unable to enter?" Li Zhao
He asked after he understood.
"You don't have to worry about this. We happened to be part of the fan club team cheering for the women's volleyball team this time, and we just got one more ticket. Who knew that Lao Yao called me, so this
That's why it happened.
But our tickets are transferred from the fans association, so we must check them carefully, otherwise it would be embarrassing for someone who supports the other team to sneak in and sit among us. The tickets are free, but they are not free.
"Is it okay to follow us and cheer for the women's volleyball girls later?" Han Han said.
"Of course! Even if you don't say it, I will do it." Li Zhao responded.
The two of them walked into the stadium while talking, and soon took their seats in the stands where all the fans supported the C national team. The location for watching the game was excellent, and Li Zhao could see it clearly at a glance.
Not far away, you can see the figures of the women's volleyball team members of Country C who are busy in the final training before the game.
Li Zhao acted very relaxed at this time and quickly joined the cheering team of Country C, and followed them to wave the flag and cheer for Team C.
Lang Ping, the head coach of the women's volleyball team who was standing on the sidelines directing the players, seemed to be aware of it. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the stands where Li Zhao and the others were, and then quickly looked away and looked again.
Focus on the field.
After experiencing the regretful loss of the title in the 2008 BJ Olympics and the disastrous defeat in the 2012 London Olympics, the Women's Volleyball Team of Country C still encountered a huge test this time, and it was even more stumbling in the group stage. They lost to their strong rival the Netherlands in the first game.
They then defeated Italy and Puerto Rico, two relatively weak teams. However, in the last two games they faced strong challenges from Serbia and the United States. They were unable to fight back. In the end, they ended up in danger of finishing fourth in the group with 2 wins and 3 losses.
Qualified for the knockout rounds.
Fortunately, starting from the knockout rounds, they finally got better and defeated their strong rivals Brazil and the Netherlands. Now, the women's volleyball team of Country C has finally reached the Olympic finals again. Lang Ping's goal is naturally the gold medal. Whether she can repeat her glory depends on today.
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the finals finally started. In this championship battle, the Chinese women's volleyball team used Zhu Ting and Hui Ruoqi as main attackers, Xu Yunli and Yuan Xinyue as secondary attackers, supporting Zhang Changning, and setter Wei Qiuyue.
Lin Li's starting lineup.
However, the same situation as last time occurred. The C national team still continued its slow start in the opening stage and was widened by its opponents at the beginning of the first round. Although there was a gap after Lang Ping called a timeout and came back.
Things got better and the score was once as close as 11-12. However, a big problem was exposed on the defensive end and the opponent once again widened the point difference. Zhu Ting tried to lead his teammates to launch a counterattack, but the C national team still
Lost the first game 19-25.
"The Serbian women's volleyball team is indeed very powerful. The C national team also played against them in the group stage. We lost completely that time, 0-3! Do you think it will happen this time..."
The lagging behind of Team C naturally caused some people to worry, and Han Han was one of them.
"Quickly stop talking! The situation in the finals and the group stage are very different, and they cannot be generalized. As the saying goes, the C national team in history is often eliminated at an earlier stage, and after entering
After winning the final championship like this, they rarely make mistakes. The C-country women's volleyball team also has many capable players. Coupled with the guidance of Lang Ping, the champion coach, it really looks like a championship.
"Li Zhao's answer was very straightforward.
"I very much agree with what he said and believe that the women's volleyball team of Country C will be able to overcome difficulties and win this championship." A gentle voice sounded not far behind them.
When Li Zhao raised his head and looked up, he saw that the person who made the sound was a beautiful figure appearing in the row behind them. The woman gave him a feeling that seemed strange and somewhat familiar, but Li Zhao was very
