Chapter 256 Meeting in Los Angeles

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

Four years ago, when the Chinese Olympic team set off for Madrid to participate in the Olympic Games, when they transited in Dubai, they happened to meet the Chinese women's football girls who were also transiting to Paris to prepare for the Olympic Games.

It was a chance encounter. Everyone greeted each other at the airport, cheered each other up, and then parted ways.

This scene was filmed as a short video, posted on the Internet, and became popular.

But this time the boys of the Olympic team should not expect to meet the women's football halfway.

On the one hand, they don't need to transit somewhere at all-there are direct flights from Shanhai to Los Angeles.

On the other hand, the routes of the women's football team and the Olympic team are different. The women's football team set off from China ten days earlier than the Olympic team, and went to Europe for a warm-up tour first, using the game as a substitute for training. Then go directly from Europe to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympics.

The two teams, one going east and the other going west, couldn't get together at all.

Even if they both go to the Olympics, it will be difficult for the two teams to meet each other.

They don't even live in a city.

Most of the Olympic events are held in Los Angeles, but for football, which requires a relatively high venue, Los Angeles obviously cannot accommodate 16 men's Olympic teams and 12 women's football teams competing at the same time.

So the football game has to be moved elsewhere.

Just like the Madrid Olympics four years ago, the Chinese Olympic team stayed and participated in the competition in Valencia.

This time is the same, although the Olympic Games are in Los Angeles, but the Olympic team will move to San Francisco - all the games of their group will be held there.

The Chinese women's football team will play and stay in Seattle.

According to the schedule, if the Olympic team and the women's football team want to return to Los Angeles, they have to play until the semi-finals, which is the semi-finals.

At the same time, because the Olympic football game starts earlier than the Olympic opening ceremony, it is impossible for both men and women to participate in the Olympic opening ceremony.

This is also a football tradition.

Although the players participated in the Olympic Games,

It is a pity that I was unable to attend the opening ceremony.

Although the men's and women's football teams are unlikely to meet, the two men, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, could still meet in the United States.

Because before the Olympic Games, their common sponsor Falcon Sports brand will provide them with private custom-made Olympic boots.

Before the league ended last season, Falcon sent people to Madrid, Spain to collect the foot movement data of the two of them, and then brought them back to the US headquarters for analysis, design and production.

The products produced are now finally ready for use.

Before the Olympics, Falcon invited Hu Lai and Li Qingqing to Los Angeles to attend a press conference for their new equipment.

After putting on the new shoes, show off some skills to satisfy the media reporters, celebrities and ordinary fans invited to the scene.

This is also known so far, the only chance for Hu Lai and Li Qingqing to meet during the Olympic Games.

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing held their exclusive sneakers in their hands, and with smiles on their faces, they faced the camera and asked the reporters to take pictures.

The sneakers specially designed by Falcon for the two of them are "couple models".

The sneakers in Hu Lai's hands are red and black. At the same time, there is a dark golden dragon pattern hovering on the shoe body. On the tongue of the sneakers, there is the same dark golden dragon head, which looks very domineering.

The sneakers in Li Qingqing's hands are turquoise and pink, very girly and fresh. There are dark phoenix feather patterns on the shoe body. The tongue is not a simple crested head, but a phoenix crown pattern.

Hu Lai's sneakers are from the "Shooters" series under Falcon. This series of sneakers does not pursue extreme lightness and speed, but emphasizes the stability of several key contact parts when touching the ball, which can help players shoot the ball more accurately.

Therefore, the "shooter" series of sneakers are mainly used by centers.

Hu Lai is not a speed player, and he naturally wore "shooter" before. Now Falcon Company has customized a private "shooter" based on his foot shape and sports data, which will be more suitable for him.

What Li Qingqing had in his hand was another series of "Free Man" by Falcon. This model is more comprehensive, has both speed and ball control, and is also very supportive, ensuring the stability of the player's body and the accuracy of ball control during high-speed sports. It is very suitable for an all-around player like Li Qingqing.

After the display of the new products, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing put on their shoes again and showed off their skills on the court.

If this event is for Hu Lai or Li Qingqing alone, then this session is basically a ball-jumping session.

Now there are two people, and the link of showing skills should also pay attention to interactivity.

So one person juggling the ball becomes two people passing the ball to each other.

This was no difficulty for Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, and it even reminded them of their usual sparring.

The reporters present saw the two people passing the football back and forth with smiles on their faces. For some reason, they suddenly felt their voices were sweet, and they felt full for no reason...

After feeding the reporters dog food, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing sat down to be interviewed by the media reporters.

A reporter asked: "Just now people from Falcon Company said that they hope you can wear exclusive boots and achieve good results in this Olympic Games. Then, do you have any expectations for your performance in participating in this Olympic Games?" "

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing looked at each other, and it was Li Qingqing who said first: "I hope I can at least reach the semi-finals."

In the last Olympic Games, Li Qingqing led the Chinese women's football team and won a bronze medal. This is also the best result of the Chinese women's football team in various world competitions after entering the 21st century-later this best result was replaced by the bronze medal in the Women's World Cup last year.

So to reach the semi-finals, it is possible to get a medal.

With a little humility, this result is completely acceptable for women's football.

"So what about Hu Lai?" The reporter threw the question to Hu Lai.

Hou Lai said: "I also hope to reach the semi-finals."

Different from Li Qingqing's calm reaction when he said this goal, the reporters present still let out a low cry when they heard Hu Lai's words.

Although the outside world has many ideas about the goal of the Olympic team in this Olympic Games, and there are many optimistic people shouting the slogan of "winning medals", the official of the Olympic team has always avoided talking about it.

Now this is the first time that the reporters have heard the goal related to "winning medals" from relevant personnel of the Olympic team!

So is this an "official announcement" in a sense?

The reporters realized that they seemed to have encountered a "big news", and they all became excited.

※※※

"Hu Lai said personally that the goal of the Olympic team is to reach the semi-finals!"

"What? Hu Lai wants to win a medal?"

"Pass it on, Hu Lai said that he will not return to China unless he wins the Olympic gold medal!"

"Have you heard? Hu Lai said that after winning the Olympic gold medal, he will go back to China and run naked!"

"Damn it, are all the professional players having so much fun these days?"

"Why do you only have medals in your eyes? Has no one noticed that according to the schedule, if Hu Lai and Li Qingqing want to meet in Los Angeles, they must both reach the semi-finals? So why do you think they both said that the goal is four? powerful?"

"Good guy, so this wave is public dog food?"

...

Under the news that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing participated in the Flying Falcon's new shoe launch, countless Chinese fans left such enthusiastic messages.

"Oh, Hu Lai's mouth... is too fast!"

Ran Jiachang, the leader of the Olympic team, sighed when he saw the news report.

"Although I think Hu Lai should be agreeing with Li Qingqing, but it's no big deal to be known." Head coach Mai Zhaocheng smiled.

Prior to this, the Olympic team had never publicly announced what their goals were. Although the players know about it, there are no relevant reports in the media.

After all, goals are used to inspire the team's fighting spirit, and there is no point in shouting around.

If you can't do it, it is easy to be regarded as "talking big".

According to Ran Jiachang's idea, wait until the Olympic team really achieves the highest goal, and then say that the team has been working hard for this goal. There is no need to take any risks to do this - if we hadn't done it, then no one would have known that the Olympic team had ever had such a bold delusion...

But now because of a commercial event, Hu Lai actually exposed the team's goals.

If this is not achieved...Ran Jiachang thinks about it, he and the Olympic team will probably become synonymous with "overthinking one's abilities".

Mai Zhaocheng didn't think so: "Think in a positive direction, Lao Ran. Let this matter become a stress test for our team. Besides, we have already shown our strength in the domestic invitational tournament, and now we are People know this goal, but it doesn’t really affect us much—after the invitational tournament, aren’t there more and more optimistic voices in the media and on the Internet?”

"Hu Lai, if you say that, aren't you afraid of putting pressure on your teammates?"

Li Qingqing asked on WeChat.

The good time together was short-lived, and she and Hu Lai have already returned to their respective teams.

The butterfly effect triggered by this gathering is that everyone noticed the goal of the Olympic team.

"What kind of pressure can there be? I can't bear this little pressure. Then won't the pressure on our local World Cup be even greater? Some of these players will definitely enter the national team in the future, and now it's a preview!" Hu Lai said nonchalantly replied.

Of course he would not admit that he was only thinking about reuniting with Li Qingqing in Los Angeles, completely unaware that saying that would be tantamount to exposing the highest goal of the team.

Li Qingqing thought about it and felt that what Hu Lai said made sense. Learning to face pressure is a compulsory course for professional players. Besides, compared with the World Cup, the pressure of the Olympic Games is really much less.

She sent a toothy smile: "Then come on, see you in Los Angeles!"
