Zhang Xiaofan figured out the key to the matter, so he directly contacted Coach Gong and explained the situation to him, hoping that he would stabilize the situation.

However, as soon as Zhang Xiaofan said this, Coach Gong immediately disagreed, "Zhang Xiaofan, you need to know the weight and significance of the men's basketball gold medal, which is not comparable to a swimming gold medal. No, you must participate in the men's basketball competition throughout the whole process, and this matter has to be discussed."

If it were a team outside of Spain, Coach Gong would not have been so persistent, but tomorrow's opponent is Spain. The inside strength of this team is not inferior to that of the Dream Team, and is even stronger than the Dream Team.

Today's Chinese Men's Basketball Team is no longer the team with the three major inside mobile Great Walls in 2008, and the gap with Spain is very big. If Zhang Xiaofan is missing, Coach Gong is very worried. Before Zhang Xiaofan comes back, the situation will worsen to the point where it will be uncontrollable.

"Coach Gong, I'm not discussing with you, but telling you my decision. I must participate in the final of the 100-meter butterfly. On the way to the championship, I must go through the test. This is the test for the Chinese men's basketball team and me." Zhang Xiaofan didn't give Coach Gong any room for discussion.

"Zhang Xiaofan, you have to know that tomorrow's opponent is Spain! And you don't know how long it will take to swim competitions. Even if you finally come to participate in the competition, there will not be too much time left." Coach Gong continued, "I'll go to the Olympic Village to find you, let's discuss this issue."

"Coach Gong, you don't need the Olympic Village to persuade me. If you come, Coach Zhang of the swimming team will definitely come too. The competition will start tomorrow morning. Your coming will only affect my condition tomorrow's game. I will not give up on two games. I will ask you for the basketball game. After these days of running-in, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team have already gained confidence. I believe you will be able to stabilize the situation. As soon as the swimming competition is over, the Rio Olympic Organizing Committee will arrange a special person to send me back."

After Zhang Xiaofan said this, he hung up the phone, turned off the phone, started to rest and regain his energy, and prepared for tomorrow's competition.

There will be two fierce battles tomorrow.

...

The next day, at around 9 a.m., Zhang Xiaofan appeared in the swimming pool.

I happened to meet Phelps, who had just entered the swimming pool.

"Zhang Xiaofan, I was worried just now that you won't come to the finals today. If that were the case, it would be much less fun." Phelps saw Zhang Xiao smile happily, and in the preliminary round he felt Zhang Xiaofan's oppression.

That was the first time he felt that way in the swimming field.

That kind of oppression can inspire his battle and potential, just like in the preliminaries, he seems to have returned to his peak, even better than his peak.

"Of course I won't forget the showdown with you. I said that this gold medal is mine and I want to take it away." Zhang Xiaofan had a confident smile on his face.

Phelps looked confident, "Zhang Xiaofan, I have won this gold medal in three consecutive Olympics, and this year is no exception. Since you are here, we will see you on the court."

"See you on the field."

After the two of them said that, they went to warm up separately.

Phelps murmured, "Today I want to create a new history, Zhang Xiaofan, you are very strong, but you will not be my opponent, and legends are not so easy to challenge."

...

"The reporter has captured the photo of Zhang Xiaofan entering the swimming pool. Do he want to give up the men's basketball game? No, Zhang Xiaofan, you are the God of basketball."

"The news is true and false. How could Zhang Xiaofan give up the men's basketball game? Although the gold medal in butterfly swimming is rare, it is far worse than the gold medal in basketball."

"This is the wise choice, and we should have given up on the men's basketball team long ago."

"Are you all crazy? You didn't even understand this problem. Zhang Xiaofan shouldn't want to give up on two games. Have you not considered the length of the game? The men's basketball team's game was four quarters, and the swimming competition could be completed in just a few dozen seconds. After Zhang Xiaofan participated in the swimming competition, he could still catch up and compete against Spain."

"Even if he can catch up, it probably won't be long before he can beat Spain?"

"No matter what, I still support Zhang Xiaofan."

There are still many people on the Internet who have guessed Zhang Xiaofan’s method.

...

At the swimming pool competition site, many spectators were talking to each other.

"Will Zhang Xiaofan come to participate in this game today?"

"If it weren't for Zhang Xiaofan, it would be a pity."

"I really hope to see the showdown between Zhang Xiaofan and Phelps."

"Zhang Xiaofan, you must come, don't let us wait."

The audience was also worried that Zhang Xiaofan would finally give up the butterfly swimming final due to conflicts in the schedule.

And in the basketball hall, there are more talk.

Many people have learned about Zhang Xiaofan going to participate in a swimming competition.

For a moment, the audience was talking about it. Is Zhang Xiaofan preparing to give up the men's basketball game?

Some people who have studied this point out that as long as the swimming competition is fast enough, Zhang Xiaofan still hopes to catch up with the semi-finals against Spain.

The Olympic live broadcast of Huaxia Sports Channel is mainly divided into two channels.

The main channel is now broadcasting the game of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the negative channel is broadcasting the final of the men's 100-meter butterfly.

The three commentaries on the main channel are still the original three.

Director Sun is introducing everyone, "You can see that all the players of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, except our basketball god Zhang Xiaofan, have already appeared. It seems that the news on the Internet is true. Zhang Xiaofan went to the swimming pool... I hope that when Zhang Xiaofan is absent, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team can maintain the situation and wait for him to complete the butterfly swimming game."

Liu Jia was a little depressed, "I thought Zhang Xiaofan would give up the swimming competition. I was really worried that Zhang Xiaofan would not be able to catch up in the end!"

On the negative channel of the sports channel, the commentator is also introducing the butterfly swimming competition.

"What is going to be performed is the men's 100-meter butterfly. Zhang Xiaofan has appeared in the swimming pool and is warming up. We don't have to worry. Zhang Xiaofan has given up this game. What we hope to see in the final Zhang Xiaofan BS Phelps will be staged soon. Let's cheer for our Chinese player Zhang Xiaofan, hoping that he can defeat Phelps and get the gold medal. Come on, Zhang Xiaofan." The commentator shouted excitedly.

"Today's final is likely to break the world record. You should know that in the preliminary round, Zhang Xiaofan and Phelps both tied the world record. Look, the athletes are starting to enter the field, Zhang Xiaofan is on the fourth track!"

With the commentary's voice, Zhang Xiaofan walked into the swimming competition scene.

Listening to the screams and cheering of the audience, Zhang Xiaofan was no stranger to him, and he had even calmed down in the screams of the audience.

Zhang Xiaofan was constantly afraid of hitting his arms and thighs, so he relaxed his body.

Wait for the start of the finals.
Chapter completed!
