Basketball glory

By the time the meal was finished and the delegation entered the venue, it was already dark. The nights in Rio are still relatively long now. But for a city that is preparing for the opening ceremony, darkness obviously does not exist.

3,000 kilograms of fireworks have already been scattered around the stadium. In an hour, these fireworks will pour unreservedly over Rio, illuminating the city as if it were daytime.

Thousands of police and soldiers have already put half of the city of Rio on high alert, covertly or covertly. I believe no one would dare to challenge the authority of a country. After all, this is the first time that the Olympic Games will be held in South America.

An epoch-making event in the history of Brazil.

An Ran looked at the stadium not far away. Even if he raised his sight, he still could not get a full view of the entire venue. I am afraid that only by standing on a helicopter would he have the opportunity to see this prestigious football stadium.

It has witnessed the rise of Brazilian football and the ups and downs of Brazilian sports, and today it will be introduced with another feature, that is, the main venue of the Rio Olympics.

The entire Chinese delegation was waiting in a large lounge. Nearly 700 people were crowded into this hall, and there were hundreds of similar rooms that were temporarily arranged for other delegations. This room was nearly 10,000 square meters.

The clubhouse is where China will temporarily rest during the next game.

Compared with other countries, China's treatment is already very good. For example, small countries such as Angola and Malawi have few athletes, and their temporary resting places are no different from ordinary houses.

An Ran sat blankly in a corner, looking at the other athletes with some boredom.

Guo Ailun was on the phone with his family. He seemed to be saying that you should pay attention to watching TV. He will appear on the stage soon. An Ran seriously doubted whether he could really be seen on the TV broadcast.

After flipping through his phone, he sent a text message to Xie Ziyun, Anwen, and Nie Fangyuan to report the situation to them, and then prepared to close his eyes and rest. As for An Zhigang, forget it, people don't necessarily care when there will be a game.

Woolen cloth.

Ding Yan Yuhang was chatting about table tennis with Zhang Jike and the others at the moment. His unbridled laughter attracted everyone's sideways glances. An Ran quickly distanced himself from them, don't say that this shameful thing is my teammate.

An Ran didn't know 90% of the people in the entire lounge, but he knew clearly that everyone represented China and came here to bring glory to the country!

After saying hello to Gong Luming, An Ran walked out. It was too boring to have so many people crowded together, and they had to wait until the theatrical performance was over before they could enter. It was really a test of patience.

The reason An Ran wanted to go out was just to watch the performance. Although the range of activities was limited, it was better than hiding in the room and being bored. After more than an hour of cultural performances, the athletes entered the venue, so he returned early.

Just be in the team.

"Sir, do you need any help?"

As soon as An Ran walked out of the club door, he saw a young female student wearing flat shoes and a ponytail politely came forward to ask. An Ran knew that they were afraid that some athletes would run around and disrupt the order.

"No, no, I just want to see the opening ceremony performance."

After listening to An Ran's words, the female student hesitated and did not stop her. She just said that she could not enter the stand to prevent her from getting lost. In fact, the resting place was on the outermost layer of the stand. An Ran knew that she could reach the stand by just climbing up the stairs.

But out of politeness and a mentality of not causing trouble, An Ran nodded and agreed.

The corridor outside the China Lounge was empty, nearly a hundred meters away. An Ran knew that further ahead was the British resting place. The lounges from all countries formed a large circle, surrounding the entire stand, and

The center of the stands is the football field, which is also the main stage for the opening ceremony.

Different sections of the entire corridor have different styles. Some national teams are standing outside the door in twos and threes, while others are as empty as China. After walking safely for ten minutes, I found that I had arrived at the US team's lounge.

An Ran thought for a while, how about walking around the entire corridor. It was still early anyway, and he wouldn't get lost just by walking around the circular corridor. He made up his mind, and An Ran was much faster. He wanted to see all the countries.

Characteristics. From time to time, An Ran would meet a few athletes wandering around on the road, and An Ran would take the initiative to say hello.

However, what disappointed him was that many athletes could not speak English! Just now he encountered a delegation watching the stage at the top of the stairs, which was quite disappointing.

There were about thirty people, but no one could speak English, let alone Chinese. An Ran, who had originally joined in, hurriedly stayed away from them, fearing that there would be some misunderstanding due to the language barrier and that he would not be able to explain.

After about half an hour, Anran felt that he had walked around the corridor for most of the stadium. When he heard that the Brazilian national anthem had been played outside and it was time for the cultural performance, Anran knew that it was time to go back and prepare.

The waves of cheers and applause in the stands overhead made people a little irritated, but it also made the whole venue lively. As the performance started, some athletes could be seen coming out of the lounge from time to time, wanting to

Check out this grand performance.

A young man wearing a light blue uniform passed by An Ran, glanced at An Ran with his peripheral vision, and then ran away immediately.

It wasn't until after walking past that An Ran felt something was wrong. She hurriedly turned back to find him, but she couldn't even see his back.

Recalling that when I passed by him just now, the look in my eyes that I didn't dare to look at made me feel that he didn't look like an athlete at all.

An Ran thought about it for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Not to mention whether there were such fancy patterns on a normal team uniform, the country's flag must at least be there. And the young man who was not very tall just now had the national flag on his chest and arms.

, there is no sign representing the country at all.

Although the style is still similar to the uniforms of each representative team, in other aspects he does not look like a normal athlete at all.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. He was walking in the same direction that An Ran had just come. He had already walked around half of the stadium, and he had never seen any representative team with uniforms like this.

"Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing." An Ran thought to herself, guessing that one of the staff members might be here for something.

However, after walking a few steps, An Ran still shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, let's just follow him and take a look. It's best if everything is alright."

So he started running quickly in the direction the young man had just walked.

Passing by one of the lounges, An Ran could hear someone saying something like, "It's this buddy again, why is he back again?" But now he had no time to worry about it. An Ran had a hunch that there must be something wrong with that person just now.

.

The speed of his feet also became faster and faster.
