"Hey." Magnusson responded mechanically, then sat back on his stool, his expression looking very numb.

"Hey! Michael, I know it was frustrating to lose yesterday, but you have to show your form. Today is the 4x100m relay race, which is our last chance to win the championship." Sullivan sat next to Magnusen at this time. As a player with the second only to Magnusen in the team, he had to stand up and say something at this time.

"Do we still have a chance to win the championship?" Magnusson leaned against the stool and looked up at the sky.

"Michael!" Taggart shouted, but was immediately stopped by Sullivan.

Sullivan knew that the blow Magnusson suffered after losing to Tang Hao yesterday's game was not acceptable to normal people. At this time, yelling at him would make his will even more depressed.

"Michael, losing a game is nothing. The important thing is to win back. Don's strength is indeed stronger than us, but no matter how strong he is, he is only one person." Sullivan began to persuade Magnusen.

Magnusson straightened up to mean he was listening.

"We took Sinos and had already given it a try. Now the chance to win the championship is right in front of us. Do you really want to give up such an opportunity? Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life because of losing a game?" Sullivan continued.

Hearing the word "coward", Magnusson glared at Sullivan suddenly, but soon, he put away his anger and said gritting his teeth: "If I lose again, I have no shame to continue sitting here."

"Relax, the champion will be ours." Sullivan smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Do we have any reason to lose? No, the champion is ours." Taggart was much more direct than that, just yelling.

Magnusen pressed his fist, then stood up, and it was obvious that his fighting spirit was back.

Although the Chinese team has Tang Hao, the other three players are third-rate players. The Australian team does not have any possibility of losing, as long as he performs normally.

In the training hall, Tang Hao was sitting by the swimming pool and resting. The breaststroke preliminaries had just ended. His morning competition was over. It was time for him to participate in the relay training.

As expected, both butterfly and breaststroke made it to the semifinals.

At this time, he looked to the right, and veteran Lu Zhibin was warming up on the shore. As he got older, his pre-match warm-up would also become longer.

He then looked at the swimming pool. Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin were training back and forth in the swimming pool. Although they were not strong, they could see that they were very strong.

In addition to them, there are two substitutes who are also training, but their level is even worse than that of Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin.

"It's 91 in 49 seconds! Within 50 seconds, work harder!" Lu Zhibin completed the training, and after timed Yu Hexin for a set, he spoke and encouraged.

"Okay!" Yu Hexin responded, then turned around and rushed into the swimming pool again.

After practicing for a while, Tang Hao also got into the water and started warming up.

"You two guys are at ease, don't get hurt anymore. It's up to you to the afternoon game." Lu Zhibin reminded the two young players when he saw Tang Hao getting into the water.

After Yu Hexin and Li Zhuhao stopped, they both looked at Tang Hao, with admiration in their eyes. Tang Hao was not much older than young players like them, but he was already a god-like existence.

When Tang Hao finished the warm-up, the four of them practiced several sets. The last time, Tang Hao tried his best, but his results were still not satisfactory, and at most they reached the final level.

After finishing the training, Tang Hao was not very interested, so he went back to rest after taking a shower.

After returning to the dormitory, he immediately entered the physical dominance system.

After this Olympic Games, he has accumulated quite a lot of honor points.

A Olympic champion has three honor points, plus the previous World Boxing Championships and Swimming Championships, his honor points have skyrocketed to 30 points.

After retiring from competitive archery, he once chose the right to unlock new characters. With his current ability, unlocking all the known characters can instantly upgrade to 80% of the power. It can be said that he is directly at the peak of the rocket.

But at this time he faced a choice.

The power of white stripes in the waves is enough to ensure that he dominates individual events, but this strength is obviously a bit short of what he wants to lead the Chinese team to achieve results against the will of heaven.

To upgrade to 90% of the power, it will take a full 12 points, which is close to half of his current honor points. This is definitely not a small investment.

He hesitated for a moment, then clicked to upgrade directly.

So many honor points are basically obtained because of the swimming competition. Now, it is worth it no matter how much it is to make investments.

After unlocking, he took a good nap and then got up to participate in the afternoon competition.

After unlocking 90% of the white stripes in the waves, he could feel that he and Shui felt intimate, and his physical energy consumption was one level less than before. He easily won the top spot in the group in both semi-finals and got the quota in the finals.

When these two games were over, he followed suit and participated in the men's 4x100m preliminaries.

Some capable national preliminaries will be lined up to participate in the competition, with the purpose of saving the main players' physical strength, but the Chinese team obviously does not have this qualification, so they will give all the main players.

Speaking of this game, the Chinese team was also very lucky to be grouped in the second group. They were in the French team, the American team and the Australian team were all in the first group. The only one who could be called outstanding is the Russian team. Such a group can be said to be absolutely lucky.

In the first group, the United States and Australia both have substitutes, while the French team is the main force.

However, it was a big surprise at the beginning. The Australians were at the first place at the beginning, and they were always in the lead.

In the last batter, Aegner of France and Adrian of the United States launched a strong attack, but Magnusson completely went wild and eventually defeated the other two with the advantage of half a position to hit the wall first.

Although it was only a group stage, it was obvious that Magnusson was extremely excited and smashed the shower cap directly into the water, and his whole body's energy came back completely.

The first group is followed by the second group.

Although they are relatively weak in strength, the Chinese team has a huge disadvantage compared to other countries in the first two bats, and after the two bats are finished, they are in the sixth position.

Lu Zhibin, who was the third player, showed his strength, but in the end he only helped the Chinese team catch up from sixth to fifth.

It was exactly the same as during training. If the Chinese team wanted to break through, the pressure was all on Tang Hao.

After Tang Hao entered the water, he opened his fire without reservation. Amid the audience's exclamations, he chased from fifth to second, and in the end he was the only one who touched the Russian team.

The final result of the Chinese team was fixed at 3 minutes, 31 seconds, 10. This result directly broke the Asian record and helped the Chinese team rank fifth in the preliminary round and successfully advanced to the finals of the evening.

When seeing the results, several young players cheered. You should know that this is the first time that the Chinese team has entered the final of the Olympic 4x100m freestyle relay.

Although the Chinese team won the gold medal in the 200-meter freestyle relay race under the leadership of Tang Hao, the Chinese team in the 200-meter has Sun Yang, and the value of the 100-meter relay race is obviously heavier than that of the 200-meter relay race.

After Tang Hao came up from the swimming pool, his teammates cheered and hugged him one by one, almost throwing him away.

Facing the cheers of the audience, Tang Hao and his teammates walked back to the contestants' passage.

At this moment, they saw the Australian team being interviewed.

After defeating the US and France in the preliminary round, these players of Australia seemed extremely excited, especially their core Magnusson, who was joking at reporters at this moment, which contrasted with the frustration before the game.

"The Chinese team is here!" Seeing the Chinese team members coming, several Chinese reporters hurriedly moved to the battlefield and rushed towards the young men who had just made history.

Of course, this is limited to Chinese journalists, and journalists from other countries are still surrounding the Australian team.

At this time, it was a Korean reporter's turn to ask a question. He glanced at the Chinese team and said, "All your opponents tonight, besides the American team and the French team, are there any teams that can pose a threat to you, such as the Russian team, and the Chinese team?"

"Hahaha..." The question from this Korean reporter immediately attracted a burst of hearty laughter from the Australian players.

Sullivan said in a contemptuous tone after laughing, "Hey, man, there's something strange in your question."

"Sorry?" the Korean reporter asked.

"The Russians have always had good competitiveness, as for the Chinese," Sullivan said, showing a disdainful smile, "The Chinese have never even entered the finals before."

"But they have entered this class, relying on Tang's performance, you know, Tang, that guy." The Korean reporter emphasized.

As soon as he said this, Magnusen's face changed immediately.

Sullivan then spoke, "Hey, this is a relay game. The Chinese team is too weak. It is impossible to change the result of the game with one person."

"But Tang reversed the championship in the previous 200-meter relay race, and in yesterday's 100-meter final, he also won the championship with a record breaking." The Korean reporter didn't know if it was true or deliberately said so.

Magnusson showed anger on his face.

"Well, I'm just talking about it in case, you know, there are always unlimited possibilities for the game." The Korean reporter noticed Magnusson's expression change and added.

Just as Magnusen was about to speak, Sullivan reached out to stop him, and then said in a faint tone: "Hey, man, you are a fan of the Chinese team, aren't you? You know, saying this is equivalent to putting the Chinese people to the same level as us. In fact, they are not the team that won the championship, right?"

"No, I'm not a fan of the Chinese team. I think you're right." The Korean reporter glanced at the angry Chinese team member not far behind him, and said, backing back.

After the Chinese team finished the interview, they followed the players' passage back to the locker room.

"Those guys in Australia are so hateful!" Before he could arrive at the locker room, Yu Hexin looked angry.

"It seems that they have really won the championship." Li Zhuhao was also very angry.

"That guy deliberately, he knew we were behind him." As a veteran, Lu Zhibin could see clearly.

"Fuck them to death tonight, you must let out this tone!" Yu Hexin said angrily.

However, he said this and did not get the response from his teammates as he did before.

Even though they were angry, it was true that they could not play in the Australian team. This time they entered the finals, it was completely done by Tang Hao alone.

Tang Hao didn't say anything at this time. He walked back to the locker room and walked down, his fingers twitching back and forth, his eyes motionless, as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Zhibin noticed Tang Hao's expression and signaled the two young team members not to say anything, and then said, "Tang Hao, go and have something to eat first."

"Huh?" Tang Hao looked up and said, "You go, I'll have to compete continuously tonight, and I'll eat after the competition."

During continuous competitions, eating is indeed very affecting the performance of athletes, and most players will choose to eat after competing.

But Tang Hao had to play two consecutive finals tonight. Lu Zhibin wanted to speak but stopped. In the end, he didn't say anything and signaled Li Zhuhao and Yu Hexin to follow him first.

When everyone else left, Tang Hao took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision.

The power of ancient famous generals in the physical dominance system is 80% enough to achieve dominance in modern times, and 90% has reached the top level, but this is not enough.

This is not enough, it does not refer to personal abilities, but to team competitions.

The other three Chinese teams are too poor. He tried his best in the semi-finals and only ranked fifth among all teams. And it was with the United States and Australia without all the main players.

With his current strength, it is not enough to make up for the disadvantages of the other three.

In fact, not enough is right. This is a group project. No matter how strong a person is, it cannot influence the results. It is like if you give Michael Jordan a group of CBA teammates, they cannot win the championship.
