Chapter 429 Track and Field Challenge

"Today's two games, the men's basketball team should be able to win against Angola. Angola doesn't have a decent inside line, and it will definitely be blown away by Dayao. I don't need to play at all. As for tennis..." Zhang Guan looked at the information in his hand , smiled slightly: "The opponent turned out to be the unlucky Blake."

Blake is an American, a mulatto. His golf quotient is very high, and he was even considered to be the player with the highest golf quotient in the tennis world. At the same time, Blake can be regarded as a professional tennis player who is a high school bully. Because he graduated from Harvard University in economics.

Blake's hard court strength is very strong. He is also a power-oriented player. He has a strong forehand, a good backhand line, comprehensive skills, and an excellent serve. He likes to grab points. Although Blake has not achieved outstanding results in Grand Slams, he has been ranked among the top ten in the world all year round, and he is definitely a titan.

But Zhang Guan knew that after Blake retired, he encountered unlucky things one after another, so Zhang Guan called Blake "unlucky".

For example, in the second year after Blake retired, he once rented out his own seaside villa. As a result, the house caught fire and burned down, not to mention that even the tenant was unfortunately killed. Although the houses in the United States are insured, the place where people burn to death will depreciate even in the United States.

Another example is that Blake stood at the door of the hotel again and found a man looking at him in the distance. Blake thought it was his fan and smiled at him, but the other party rushed up and pushed Blake to the ground, and gave Blake Handcuffed. It turned out that the man was an undercover police officer, and he regarded Blake as a suspect. When Blake smiled at him, he thought that Blake was going to draw a gun, so he rushed forward and subdued Blake.

There are many similar unlucky things on Blake.

Bad luck is bad luck, but now Blake is also a top ten player in the world after all, which is enough for Zhang Guan to take it seriously.

...

On August 14, the Chinese men's basketball team played against the Angola men's basketball team. The current record of the Chinese team in the group stage is one win and one loss. As long as they can win this game, the Chinese team will basically get a place to qualify for the group stage.

The Angola men's basketball team can be said to be the weakest team in this Olympic Games. However, since the Men's Basketball World Championships in 1990, China and Angola have played against each other 10 times. Angola has 6 wins and 4 losses and has a slight upper hand.

But this time, China has the world's first-class insider, which obviously has an advantage. Before the game, no one was optimistic about Angola.

Due to Zhang Guan's outstanding performance in the last game, many fans are looking forward to whether Zhang Guan can play well in this game, and some people even proposed to let Zhang Guan enter the starting lineup. But Jonas obviously didn't want to expose his tactics prematurely, so he still let Zhang Guan sit on the bench.

Zhang Guan has no objection to this either, he even hopes that he will not play today. Because at 18:00, Zhang Guan will also participate in a tennis eight-to-four match.

The Angolan men's basketball team is indeed the weakest team in this Olympic Games. The Chinese team was beaten 8-2 at the beginning of the game, and then the Chinese team took advantage of the inside line to attack continuously. At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team scored 28 Leading by 15, Dayao even scored 10 points in a single quarter.

However, in the second quarter of the game, the Chinese team was a little careless, with a drop in shooting percentage and an increase in turnovers. In this quarter, the Angola men's basketball team chased 15 points in a single quarter, and the Chinese team only led 44 to 42.

At the beginning of the second half, Dayao showed his power again, not only performing well in offense, but also blocked shots in defense. The Chinese team entered the final quarter with a 65-51 lead. Angola scored only 9 points in the third quarter.

In the final fourth quarter, the Angola team strengthened the outside attack, and the score was once reduced to 9 points. However, at the critical moment, Angola's inside disadvantage was revealed, and they were blocked one after another. Coupled with the eagerness to chase points, the Chinese team played more and more. Yong finally swept his opponent 85 to 68 to win.

Dayao scored 30 points in this game. In addition to Dayao, the Chinese team also had 4 players in double figures. They made 81% of their two-pointers, 17 assists, and 37 rebounds far surpassed Angola's 19. It can be seen that the Chinese team has an absolute advantage in the interior. However, the team's 15 turnovers are much higher than the Angola team's 9 turnovers.

Zhang Guan did not play, which disappointed the fans who were looking forward to it, but no one raised their opinions because the Chinese team won.

As long as the basketball game can be won, the wrong arrangement of the coach can be interpreted for countless reasonable reasons; and if the game is lost, even if God came to be the coach, various flaws will be found.

After winning Angola, the record of the men's basketball team became 2 wins and 1 loss, which can be said to have basically locked the place for the group to appear.

...

In the National Tennis Center, in the players' lounge, Blake is making final preparations for the game.

The leader of the US tennis team seemed very excited, as if he was looking forward to this contest.

"Since last year's ATP Year-End Masters, Zhang Guan has not played for eight months. If he has not played for eight months, it is inevitable that his competitive state will decline." The team leader said.

"Uh... sir, I'm very sorry, in the first three rounds, I really didn't see any decline in Zhang Guan's state." Blake said.

"Although it was relatively easy for Zhang Guan to win the first three rounds, don't forget who his opponents are, Lu Yanxun, Carreri, and Melzer. They are all ranked after 50 in the world. How high can it be! So Zhang Guan's first three victories are worthwhile, in fact, he has not recovered to his peak state at all." The team leader said proudly.

Blake is not as optimistic as the team leader, but Blake does not intend to admit defeat. After all, he is a top ten tennis player in the world, and of course he has the confidence to challenge Zhang Guan.

...

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the match between Zhang Guan and Blake officially started.

In the first set, both sides firmly grasped their respective serve games. Blake's strength on the hard court is indeed very strong, and he is also very good at that kind of high-speed serve, which makes it much easier for Blake to keep his serve. The first 10 games were tied at 5-5.

In the critical 11th game, Zhang Guan strengthened the rotation of the ball, and Blake made frequent mistakes on the sideways forehand, which allowed Zhang Guan to successfully break serve. Won the first set 7-5.

In the second set, the two sides played another 4-4, but finally in Blake's serve, Zhang Guan took the lead to get the break point. Blake worked hard to save two break points, but Zhang Guan won a goal on the third break point. Zhang Guan also won the second game with a score of 6-4.

Zhang Guan defeated Blake and advanced to the semi-finals of tennis. Facing the touchstone of Blake, Zhang Guan once again proved himself.

Zhang Guan's opponent in the semi-finals is the British player Murray, and the match will be held tomorrow afternoon.
