Gu Chen accompanied Chamberlain to the Olympic swimming competition, the Water Cube.

"Water Cube" is a square building of 177 meters by 177 meters, high - l meter, and the facade of the building follows strict geometric rules. Different shapes on the facade are ll types. Inflatable pillows are installed on the inner and outer layers. The dreamy blue comes from the first film of the air pillow outside. Because the curved surface reflects sunlight, the entire building surface looks like crystal water droplets in the sun. Chamberlain believes that this gymnasium is more wonderful than the bird's nest design. He has always wanted to go in and take a look, but he has never had a chance.

As the two most outstanding buildings designed by the Beijing Olympics, the "Water Cube" and the "Bird's Nest" are only separated by one side, one round, one blue and one red, forming a subtle and balanced relationship. From the outside, Chamberlain and Gu Chen felt that these two buildings were even more wonderful.

The problem is that they were not here in the gym, but to be on the game, to be precise, they were on Phelps.

Now Phelps has become an absolute idol at the Beijing Olympics. Its popularity is no worse than Chamberlain and the Dragon Team. If anyone can beat him, I am afraid that only Liu Xiang, the king of track and field, who has not played yet. Since he first jumped into the pool on the evening of B-9, as of yesterday, Phelps' pool has won a gold medal every day for four consecutive days, and every time he participates in the winning streak, he has broken the world record. For him, the world record is like paper.

Phelps himself is also a basketball fan. He has a good relationship with the players of the Dream Team. Although he has not had much contact with Chamberlain, because he repeatedly told the media that he is a Chamberlain fan, the two of them also have some interactions. Now the two tickets in Chamberlain's hand were handed over by Phelpsteko Kobe. Chamberlain must come and support it, but the result is that it will not be supported.

Today's game has special significance for Phelps, because he has won four gold medals in the Beijing Olympics before, and with the six gold medals he won before at the Athens Olympics in Greece, he has already had ten gold medals in his Olympic journey. If he can still win one gold medal in today's game, it is the Eleven Rose gold medal, which can break the record.

Previously, the Olympic record was ten gold medals, maintained by four athletes and Phelps, namely American track and field star Carl Lewis, Phelps' senior, another American swimmer Mark Spitz, former Soviet gymnastics star Larisha Latinina and Finnish runner Pavo Nomi.

This time, Phelps was going to participate in a 4-by-20-meter relay swimming. This competition was regarded as the best opportunity for sniper flying fish by swim teams from all over the country. Because the relay competition is different from the general competition, if you want to win the championship in this kind of competition, it depends more on the strength of the team. If your teammates perform poorly, no matter how good your personal performance is, it will be useless.

This is a game full of variables. Before the start of the game, it was already very popular. Not to mention that Chamberlain was specially invited, even if he was not invited, he would buy tickets to watch the game by himself. It is always a good feeling to witness a miracle.

Unfortunately, what made Chamberlain depressed still happened. He had delayed his entry time during training, but later he had been entangled with Gu Chen for half an hour. When he arrived at the Water Cube, the audience began to appear in a bustling manner. There was no doubt that the game was over.

Chamberlain was full of disappointment. Seeing this, Gu Chen was very sorry and took Chamberlain's hand and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If you don't comfort me, you will definitely be able to catch up with this game."

At this time, complaining was useless. Chamberlain sighed and said, "Forget it, it's a moment when God doesn't want me to witness this miracle. I really hope Phelps won't win the gold medal. In this way, he has three events in the future, and I still have the chance to watch his game."

Chamberlain knew that the probability of such a thing happened was relatively small. The US team was the absolute overlord of the 20-meter freestyle relay. With Thorpe's retirement, Australia's competitiveness weakened, and the US team's advantage in this event became more and more obvious. At the Athens Olympics four years ago, the US team won the championship with 7 minutes and 07 seconds under the leadership of Phelps, and Thorpe's Australian team ranked second with 7 minutes and 07 seconds.

But the discussions of the audience from the departure disappointed him: "Pelps is so awesome. He ran so beautifully at the first goal..."

"Van der Kay, the fourth player, is also very powerful. He swam so fast behind him, just like a torpedo.

"That guy's nickname is torpedo. Don't you feel that he is domineering when swimming? Although Phelps has a flowing posture, he lacks the power of Van der Kay. I still like Van der Kay."

According to the audience's discussion, Chamberlain roughly understood the situation of the game. The first base of the US team was Phelps to lead. He gave the team an absolute advantage, leaving Australia, Italy, Japan and other strong teams behind.

The second team of the United States played in Locht. In the first 100 meters, Locht performed poorly. In the first 6 meters, he swam for 2 seconds and 70, ranking second, 06l seconds slower than Russia's Ragunov. In the 100 meters, Locht did not improve, Lagunov continued to shorten the gap. In this period, Lagunov swam for 49 seconds and 6 seconds, while Locht was 6 seconds and the huge gap left by Phelps was further narrowed by the Russians for 2 seconds.

However, in the next two 6-meter sections, Locht suddenly accelerated his arm swing, swam out 1 minute 17 seconds 33 and 1 minute 44 seconds 2 respectively, swiping out two best results in this section. At the end of the second bat, the US team continued to lead with - minute 2 seconds 59, surpassing the world record to reach B6 seconds. Australia ranked second with - minute 1 second 8 seconds, 42 seconds behind the United States, and the gap further widened.

The United States played the game. Berens' reaction time in the water reached 04l seconds. He ranked B4th in the 6m section in the first round. Berens' performance was not satisfactory. Due to the unfast swing of the water arm, Berens only swam for 6 seconds in the 6m. This situation lasted until the 100th round. His 6l second and 70 second ranked 4th.

In the fourth bat, American star Van der Kay appeared, one of the two players who once defeated Phelps in the final. Van der Kay showed the form of Phelps in the first half after entering the water and did not give any other opponents any chance. In the first 6 meters, Van der Kay swam for 24 seconds and ranked second. Van der Kay slowed down the pace slightly and learned from French star Bernard's lesson in the 100-meter freestyle relay. By the time the 100-meter touched the wall, Van der Kay's score reached 6.95 seconds, ranking first among the B player.

In the last 100 meters, Van der Kay accelerated his sprint and finally ended the game with 6 minutes and 6 seconds 3, leading the second-place Russian team to win the championship 6 seconds 14, while breaking the world record.

Chamberlain listened to the audience's fierce discussion on the game in frustration. This game was really touching. Even when the audience walked past Chamberlain and Gu Chen, they didn't notice that the number one star in the men's basketball team was standing beside them. Instead, Gu Chen's beauty and slim body won her a high rate of return.

Of course, this is also related to Chamberlain's dress. In order to watch the game well without being disturbed by fans, he has done some hard work. In addition to wearing a pair of large sunglasses, he also prepared a fake beard and wig. Unfortunately, all of this has become useless now.

After the fans left, Chamberlain suddenly walked into the water cube. Gu Chen was shocked and asked, "Now the athletes should all leave the field. Are you still going in?"

Chamberlain said: "I have to let that boy Phelps know that I'm here to cheer him up. Then I tell him that my position is too far behind and he doesn't see me, so I can't blame me."

Gu Chen's hand was still held by Chamberlain, and she followed her two steps, her big eyes flashed and thought about the question, and suddenly laughed: "You actually don't care about the result of this game, right? You mainly don't want to disappoint Phelps?"

"I'm not so noble. I just played in Spain in the last game. Phelps came to cheer us on. I'm here to repay the favor." Chamberlain laughed. Of course, he really wanted to watch this swimming competition. It's not because of love, it's purely nothing.

As a result, both of them entered the National Swimming Center for the first time, and the audience was all clear. Although there were a lot of staff, they were afraid of being driven out, so they specially picked out the remote aisle to walk around. They had no sense of direction and were stunned for a moment.

The National Swimming Center is very large. Its planned construction land is 6,950 square meters and the total construction area is 860 square meters. The underground part has a construction area of ​​no less than 1,560 square meters, and it is surrounded by many twists and turns, just like a maze.

The place the two wanted to go was the Olympic Games Hall, which was the core area of ​​the Water Cube. The entire hall area was B20 square meters, with two swimming pools, one was a swimming pool and the other was a diving pool. The athletes were there to present awards and then they would stop to take a photo. Chamberlain guessed that Phelps would chat with Kobe with his friends for a while and would definitely choose the Olympic Games Hall.

As a result, the two of them went around and couldn't find the competition hall. Instead, they arrived at the prestigious Water Drop Theater. The theater is not large in size, only about 20 square meters and has about 150 seats. They use cutting-edge laser digital projection equipment developed by the Institute of Laser Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which can play 3 videos, laser high-definition videos, etc. When the two arrived, they were replaying the previous game. Of course, it was not 3, but watching the game on a huge high-definition screen also had a unique charm.

Gu Chen urged Chamberlain to leave quickly, and the latter muttered, "Let's finish the game first."

As a result, as soon as the two of them stopped, a staff member came. The two of them had no choice but to find a corner to hide. Chamberlain was afraid of being discovered, so he blocked himself with the screen curtain. He saw Gu Chen standing outside stupidly and whispered: "Don't you come in yet?"

"Where do you go?" Gu Chen asked silly.

When Chamberlain saw that there was really little room left, he shrugged and said, "You can do it. Anyway, if you stay outside, you will definitely be seen. At that time, you will be kicked out, and there are reporters outside."

Gu Chen was speechless and could only squeeze with Chamberlain. Both of them were uncomfortable. Chamberlain had to turn around, but suddenly he carried Gu Chen into his arms. He hurriedly explained: "I didn't want to take advantage of you."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Believe you, it's nothing if you want to take advantage of me. Just pretend that I've delayed the price of you not being able to watch the game before."

"Really?" Chamberlain was overjoyed. As he said before, all men fell in love with beautiful women at first sight.

Gu Chen smiled even brighter and said lightly: "Of course it's true, but if you take advantage of me, you have to be responsible for me."

This sentence made Chamberlain honest. The footsteps of the staff behind were approaching. The two of them did not dare to speak anymore, so they hurried together until the staff left.

After walking out of the Water Drop Theater, the two of them ran around and ran to the Chinese support Beijing 26 Olympic Games Memorial Hall and Beijing Olympic Games Water Cube Swimming Memorial Hall. After wasting a lot of time, Gu Chen finally found a map. It would be useless to go to the hall at this time. Even if Phelps chatted with the players of the Dream Team one by one, it was time to finish the chat.

So, Chamberlain and Gu Chen were excited to go shopping in the Water Cube. They found two volunteer work signs and hung them on their chests, and started to visit them openly. Sometimes the staff would see through their identities. Chamberlain sent out a signature photo to settle everything.

Chamberlain is indeed deeply loved by Chinese sports fans. After learning about his identity, the staff not only did not expel him and Gu Chen, but instead took him to the most amusing water playground in the Water Cube.
