"Michael, do you have confidence in winning the championship tonight?"

"Of course, this is my home court."

"Do you have the confidence to defeat Don?"

"Of course, this is my home court, and I don't want to repeat the answer."

The interviews during non-Poles training are the same as those of the American media. Even though Tang Hao is now very popular and looks invincible, they do not think Tang Hao can win in the butterfly swimming event dominated by flying fish.

"Flying fish is the last hurdle for the American Swimming Dream Team to defend their honor, and it is also the hardest hurdle!" Fox Sports News wrote.

"No one can beat Phelps in butterfly, and before he retired, we all knew he would dominate the program." cbs sports media writer made a public statement.

"Flying Fish is not only the greatest swimmer in history, he can even remove the word swimming. We can question a lot of things, but there is no doubt that if you want to defeat Flying Fish at the peak in butterfly, unless he is Casey Green (the protagonist of the movie "Daydreamer")!" ABC, the largest sports media in the United States, joked.

American newspapers have been promoting Phelps as always, and Chinese media and netizens have not shown any weakness this time and are facing tit for tat.

"Listen, who is cheering on the London stadium, who are they cheering for, Tang Hao, Jesus! He is invincible!" Yang Jian, a well-known Chinese sportsman, made a public statement on his personal Weibo.

"False Pooles is the greatest swimmer in history and one of the greatest athletes, but Tang Hao, undoubtedly, will be the greatest athlete in history, no doubt." CCTV Sports Newspaper's attitude has never been clear.

"If Tang Hao doesn't win the championship, I will be able to catch it live! Tang Hao won the championship, I will be able to sleep the goddess live!" A certain portal website jr has a tough attitude.

...

The media of the two countries are facing each other, and in this atmosphere, the fourth Olympic Games officially kicked off.

On this day, swimming will have to hold the preliminaries of 8 events for men and women and the finals of 4 events, including the preliminaries of 200-meter butterfly.

However, in fact, in addition to participating in the 200-meter butterfly preliminaries, Tang Hao also has to participate in the 200-meter breaststroke preliminaries and the top 32 in the individual archery competition.

Although there was no conflict in time, this was also the day when he tested his strength the most.

The preliminaries of the 200-meter butterfly and breaststroke were held in the morning.

The 200-meter breaststroke started first, Tang Hao's performance was stable, he won the second place in the group, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals in the afternoon.

The breaststroke competition ended and after more than an hour of rest, the preliminaries for the 200-meter butterfly began.

Perhaps influenced by pre-match media and reporters, Phelps, who had reservations in the preliminaries in the past, performed well and swam the best result of the year of 1 minute 53 seconds 31.

Tang Hao was also unwilling to give in. He appeared after Phelps and finally swam a personal best score of 1 minute 54 seconds 00.

The preliminary round has just begun, and both sides are already in a tense state.

In the afternoon semi-finals, Tang Hao and Phelps were still divided into different groups, but their performance was similar to that in the morning, and they won the top two in the group to advance to the finals in the evening.

After Tang Hao finished the semi-finals, he went to participate in the personal archery knockout competition without much rest.

Tang Hao's opponent in this round is Hideki Kikuchi from the island country.

Although Kikuchi is good at strength, there is obviously a big gap between him and Tang Hao.

In this round, it is not difficult for Tang Hao to win.

However, just as Tang Hao rushed to the archery field, the Australian contestants held a meeting in the locker room.

The team leader of the Australian swimming team, "New Torpedo" James Magnusson, organized the meeting.

The main members of the conference were 4x100m relay race players Sullivan, Taggart, Roberts, Mike Voy, and De Osorg.

"Ronnie talked to me today. I don't think I need to say that you all know what to do, right?" Magnusson was not in a high mood.

"Have we won the gold medal? Or, has our men's team won the medal?" Taggart said self-deprecatingly.

"Yes, we haven't got a medal yet. Go to him, I don't know what happened to us!" Sullivan cursed.

"Obviously, we don't seem to be in shape." Robert agreed.

"Actually, we have the opportunity to get the 4x200m relay race pass, abominable Chinese!" Taggart cursed angrily at this time.

"That drug-taking guy, he is now the darling of the whole UK. He must have used something that is not on the list, otherwise you believe he can do all this? Do you believe Ang? Do you believe Mike? Do you believe James? Do you believe it anyway." Sullivan was also a little angry.

"That's right, there must be ulterior motives here!" Mike Voy said angrily.

"So, what should we do now?" Magnusson said without saying anything. He said only after the team members made their statements.

As soon as Magnusen said this, the team members were all silent. Yes, they had no choice but to do what they could do, and they were also desperate!

"Damn it!" Mike Voy couldn't think of any solution, and his teammates couldn't think of any solution. Finally, he pounded the table angrily.

"Why do we find an opportunity to destroy that Chinese guy?" De Osorg, who had not spoken, spoke.

“Hahaha~”

De Osorg's words immediately attracted a burst of laughter from other players.

"Koni, you relieved our atmosphere very well, but to be honest, that guy was a swimmer and a boxer. He won the gold medal in the World Championships. I don't know who we have ever done." Sullivan was rare at this time.

"Okay, don't joke. If we don't show results, we're probably going to get out of the swimming team." Magnusson was obviously not interested in joking with others at this moment, and said with a serious expression.

"We really have nothing to do, James." Robert said helplessly.

"No, we have a way." At this moment, De Osorg suddenly spoke again.

"Oh, my Koenig, what other way have you come up with to amuse us?" Taggart looked at him speechlessly.

Not only him, but everyone else looked at their substitute with a playful look.

"No, this is really a solution." De Osorg paused for a moment, and after the eyes of the others were all on him, he spoke, "Sinos."

As soon as this word came out, the playfulness on the faces of others disappeared, first shocked, then silenced, and finally relieved.

No one speaks, but it can be seen that each of them is experiencing the same psychological changes.

"So, is Sinoth our last choice?" Magnusson looked ruthless. Obviously, the new Australian core needs something to prove.

"Although Sinos is banned by the above, it is not on the list of banned drugs for the Olympics. Chinese people can use some drugs that we don't know, why can't we?" De Ossog continued at this time.

"What Coney said makes sense." Sullivan said in silence for a while.

Others expressed their opinions that this time, they did not laugh or make fun of each other, and they had always had space for opinions.

"Then, Sinoth, that's it, no one is allowed to say it." Magnusson said in a warning manner.

Others nodded one after another.

No one knew what happened in the locker room, but if Tang Hao knew, he would definitely not be able to help laughing.

I remembered what he said to the media: I am waiting for you at the London Olympics, even if you take drugs, I can defeat you.
