Chapter 304 Bolt's Taichi
"Hiss, damn!"
In the dormitory of the Olympic Village, Jiang Yuan was receiving fascial release from Sean. Sean was a really capable guy. He rushed over overnight and brought a full set of equipment. There were all kinds of fascial knives and essential oils.
It is true that the National Olympic Team also has a physiotherapist, but Jiang Yuan still prefers Sean’s method, which is powerful and effective!
According to Mourinho, Sean will stay in Rio for the next few days and live in the hotel closest to the Olympic Village. After training every day, Sean will rush to the National Olympic training ground to give Jiang Yuan a full-body muscle relaxation. The rest of the time he will travel in Brazil.
Chelsea's purpose in doing this is very clear. They do not trust the physiotherapist of the Chinese Olympic team and want to take control of Jiang Yuan's physical condition by intervening.
Sean's air tickets, hotel expenses and other expenses were reimbursed by the club. This outing was part of his job content. Despite this, Jiang Yuan still gave Sean 5 riyals as a tip for his trip to Brazil.
"How am I doing now?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Sean, who was wearing gloves and touching Jiang Yuan's calves.
"Well, Jiang, the strength of your gastrocnemius and soleus muscles is not matched, which causes problems with your calf strength. Your calf is under too much pressure."
Sean gave his judgment: "I will record this and report it to Rozovic. You may need to modify your strength training plan when you return."
"Then can I still continue the competition?"
Sean sat on the bed and took out a jar of honey-like essential oil from his backpack: "Even if I say no, you still have to compete, so does it matter what I say?"
"Haha, then tell me the truth, what's the condition of my calf?"
Sean didn't answer immediately, but let Jiang Yuan lie on the bed, and then.
clap clap!
Sean pressed the essential oil on Jiang Yuan's calf and spread it slowly and evenly: "The situation is not serious. You can add some calcium and magnesium to your diet and it will be fine. Hey!"
Sean slapped his head and said, "My problem is, I should have brought some inorganic salt supplements with me!"
"it's okay no problem"
Jiang Yuan pressed the pillow under his chest, his expression a little nervous: "I'll just eat a few more fish for lunch today. I heard that the fish here seems to be quite good."
"salmon"
Sean added that it seemed that this guy had made some preparations before coming to Brazil, and he should take this opportunity to have a good trip in Brazil.
I work 2 hours every afternoon, hours every evening, and spend the rest of the time traveling. It’s so cool.
Of course, since we just arrived today, we still have to work in the morning.
"Hey!"
Sean patted Jiang Yuan's calf and said, "Relax, inhale for 5 seconds, exhale for 3 seconds."
"Okay, ok, I'll relax your soleus muscle now. It might be a little painful."
"Please explain clearly first. It may hurt a little. How much does it hurt?"
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Sean rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are a top athlete, can't you bear this little pain?"
"Makes sense!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, and his muscles relaxed instantly.
next second.
“Oh shit, Aa ...
"Fuck it, damn!"
Jiang Yuan clutched the bed sheet tightly with both hands, as if he was being raped.
Sean held the fascia knife with both hands and slid it back and forth on Jiang Yuan's calf.
Sean didn't care how loud Jiang Yuan yelled, because Jiang Yuan was speaking Chinese and Sean couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
“Easy, easy!”
"Your myofascia is stuck together, which will reduce your movement sensitivity. Wow, your soleus muscle is inflamed. Is there a cryo-chamber here?"
"Freezer?"
Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't think I've seen it before"
"Let's go look for it together later, there should be something there, your inflammation is quite serious. I won't travel today, I will take care of your health problem."
After saying that, Sean changed to a green essential oil, and then changed to a shark-shaped fascia knife.
"It's going to hurt more, be prepared"
!!!
……
In the morning, Jiang Yuan received full-body fascia release provided by Sean, as well as treatment with hyperbaric oxygen chamber, cryotherapy chamber and other equipment, which lasted until after 12 noon.
After coming out of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, Jiang Yuan felt refreshed, and his muscles became very elastic.
The Olympic Village did not have these equipments, so Jiang Yuan went to a business gym in Rio to get a membership card. The price was a bit expensive, but the effect was still good.
"Where's Sean?"
Jiang Yuan looked at the staff member beside the oxygen chamber, who spoke to him in not very fluent English: "Are you talking about the white man with an unshaved face? He left 20 minutes ago. Let me tell you something."
"What?"
"I'm going to travel first, see you in bed later"
When the staff member spoke, he looked at Jiang Yuan with a weird look, which scared the latter so much that he quickly ran out of the gym.
I want to eat fish for lunch, but I definitely can’t eat fish alone, I have to ask someone to come along.
Who should I call?
Got it!
……
At 1 p.m., Jiang Yuan and Alan Hogg met at a local restaurant in Rio. They wanted to eat salmon, but the restaurant happened to be out of salmon.
But it doesn't matter. Hogg introduced Jiang Yuan to Moqueca, a Brazilian stew that contains shrimp, crabs, fish and other seafood.
The taste is average, but it perfectly satisfies Jiang Yuan's need to replenish inorganic salts.
After dinner, Jiang Yuan originally wanted to walk around with Hogg, but he was invited by Bolt at the last minute. The Jamaican star hoped that Jiang Yuan and Neymar could come to watch his game this afternoon - the men's 100m final.
"Fuck, the 100-meter final?"
Jiang Yuan's voice sounded a little surprised on the phone. If Bolt hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that he was in the 100-meter final.
"I have prepared tickets this time, you can go directly to the Olympic Stadium and enter."
Having learned his lesson from the last time, Bolt prepared tickets for Jiang Yuan in advance.
“I’ll be there soon”
Jiang Yuan hung up the phone and immediately called an Uber.
"River!"
Hogg ran over and grabbed Jiang Yuan's hand: "Didn't you say you would take me to the Village Mall this afternoon?"
"Yeah...next time for sure!"
……
In the stands of the Olympic Stadium, Jiang Yuan and Neymar sat together, which immediately attracted the attention of the cameraman.
The day after tomorrow is the match between the Chinese Olympic team and the Brazilian Olympic team. At this time, the two teams' top stars will watch the 100-meter final together, which will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
"Neymar!"
"River!"
"Neymar!"
Jiang Yuan and Neymar were pretty open-minded. After the director's camera turned to them, they greeted each other and then started chatting without caring about anything else.
"You played 120 minutes in the last game, you probably haven't recovered yet, right?"
Neymar looked Jiang Yuan up and down. They were friends, but they would be rivals in the game the day after tomorrow. "Are you testing me?"
Jiang Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, I will play the whole game the day after tomorrow, that's for sure"
“Do you want to drink this?”
Neymar turned around, took two cups of tea from the security guard and handed one to Jiang Yuan.
"Mate?"
Jiang Yuan immediately recognized what Neymar was holding. He took it and examined it carefully. "Isn't this something from Argentina? Do you have it in Brazil?"
"An Argentine thing? Yerba mate is a common property of the Americas. Argentines say it's their thing, but I think it's a Brazilian thing."
As he spoke, Neymar straightened his straw and began to drink. Jiang Yuan also tasted it.
It turns out, this stuff tastes pretty good. No wonder so many Americans like to drink it.
"This Olympic men's football match is very important for us in Brazil"
Neymar put the yerba mate tea he had just taken a sip of on the table and chair beside him, and suddenly said: "Before the game, the president expressed his condolences to our team."
"I understand"
Jiang Yuan nodded, because Brazil itself was the host of this Olympic Games, and he was very clear about the mentality of Brazil wanting to win the championship in its own home country.
"Of course, I'm not asking you to let me go."
Neymar was afraid that Jiang Yuan might misunderstand, so he added a sentence. Jiang Yuan just took a sip of yerba mate and snatched it away: "Ahem, if we let you win, do you really think we can beat you?"
“That’s not it either.”
Neymar spread his hands and said: "You are the biggest dark horse in this Olympics, and dark horses always create miracles. If it was Germany or Japan, you might really be able to enter the final. But unfortunately, your next game is against Brazil, and you can't win."
Faced with Neymar's teasing, Jiang Yuan was unable to respond for a while.
What you said is indeed true. This Brazilian Olympic team is one of the best in terms of both lineup and tactics. If they really play, the Chinese Olympic team's chance of winning is less than 1%.
Neymar's confidence is not without reason!
At this moment, Neymar suddenly shouted: "It's about to start!"
Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of Neymar's finger and saw that behind the 100m starting line, eight athletes from various countries were already ready.
The live commentator began to introduce the athletes, starting with Bromell in lane 2, a rookie from the United States. This guy had already run under 20 seconds when he was less than 10 years old.
"Super genius, just like you"
Neymar winked at Jiang Yuan, who spread his hands to show innocence: "I can't run as fast as him"
"Then tell me, which striker in the Premier League is faster than you? There shouldn't be any, right?"
"We are all players from the same league, we are all the same"
Jiang Yuan said a few perfunctory words and signaled Neymar to concentrate.
The live commentator needed to introduce the players one by one before the game started, and soon came to Gatlin in the fourth lane. When he shouted "Gatlin", the entire Olympic Stadium suddenly burst into cheers.
We have to talk about the 6-meter final. The attendance rate was really outrageous. There was no physical confrontation, no shooting or scoring or anything else that could stimulate the brain, but the stadium could seat more than people.
The core is speed. Human beings have been pursuing speed since ancient times. When they see someone running fast, they will stop and watch. This is the hunting instinct of human beings.
After 4, there are 5, and then 6...
"The sixth lane is Jamaican star Usain Bolt, with a personal best of 9.58s, and the m world record holder!"
Right below the CCTV screen was an introduction to Bolt, and his PB (personal best). The letters “world record” hit the audience’s eyes hard.
I don’t know what happened in the live broadcast room, but Jiang Yuan, who was sitting in the stands, knew very well that Bolt’s cheers were the loudest in the whole stadium, almost twice that of Gatlin.
As an Olympic double gold medalist and world record holder, everyone knows the name "Bolt".
"Channel 7, DeGrasse from Canada"
"..."
"The ninth lane is the famous athlete Yohan Blake from Jamaica. His personal best is 9.69s. This result was achieved in the 2012 IAAF Diamond League Lausanne. He is also the third super sprinter in history to run under 9.70s!"
"A total of 8 athletes are ready, the director's camera is on... um, Neymar and Jiang Yuan"
"Come on, after we introduce the athletes on the field, we also need to introduce the athletes in the stands."
"Jiang Yuan and Neymar, from the Chinese Olympic men's football team and the Brazilian Olympic men's football team respectively, will meet in the men's football semi-final the day after tomorrow. We can see that although they will face off the day after tomorrow, Jiang Yuan and Neymar still get along quite well!"
The CCTV commentator was right. Jiang Yuan and Neymar were sitting in the middle of the stands. Jiang Yuan was wearing casual Adidas clothes, while Neymar was wearing floral shorts and a baseball cap. The outfits were very different, but judging from their frequent exchanges, the relationship between the two guys should be pretty good.
But that’s not the point today.
"On your marks!"
A hoarse male voice sounded, and eight athletes from lanes 2 to 9 walked towards the starting blocks.
In the camera, Bolt supported himself on the ground with his hands and placed his feet on the pedals. After kneeling on the ground, Bolt touched his chest with one hand and finally prayed to God.
"Hiss - so nervous"
Although he was not on the court, Jiang Yuan could feel the pressure at the moment.
"set!"
"boom!"
"Okay, let the game begin!"
"Gatlin has the fastest reaction to starting, and is slightly ahead!"
"Bolt is accelerating! We are all running neck and neck!"
“The final sprint!”
"Bolt rushed out, Bolt sprinted! 9 seconds!"
"Bolt defends his title again!"
“The Olympic 100m triple champion!”
The camera showed Bolt, who raised his right hand, shook his right index finger, and slowly ran towards the stands with the cameraman following him.
"Brilliant!"
Jiang Yuan and Neymar stood up at the same time.
At this time, Bolt was about to perform his signature flying man move, but after seeing Jiang Yuan and Neymar, he suddenly remembered something and ran towards the middle stand.
"bolt!"
"Bolt! Top man!"
"the best!"
Amid the cheers of the audience, Bolt ran to Jiang Yuan and Neymar.
His spiked shoes pressed firmly on the high-speed track. Then, Bolt bent his knees slightly and drew circles awkwardly with his hands in the middle.
The movements were a little unfamiliar, but everyone knew them because of Jiang Yuan and Bolt's previous collaboration.
Bolt is doing Tai Chi now!
Click!
Click, click, click!
On the day after the game, the Brazilian Olympic Committee released a photo. In the photo, Jiang Yuan's elbow was on Neymar's shoulder, and the two of them were staring at Bolt who was practicing Tai Chi.
This photo was retweeted by FIFA and IAAF immediately after it was posted. Four official accounts including Chelsea, Barcelona, the Chinese Embassy in Brazil and the Brazilian Olympic Team also retweeted this photo. It topped the trending search on Twitter that night.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Yuan will become the topic of the composition again.
