Noon.
The livestream studio was ready.
The professional invited by Central TV Sports arrived. It was the former Grand Slam winner of the women's table tennis team — Bao Han. She had retired many years ago.
"Sister Bao." Yu Yingyi nodded.
Bao Han smiled and said, "Teacher Yu."
The two of them had worked together on commentary many times and were very familiar with each other.
But when Bao Han saw the other person sitting in the studio, she was taken aback. Clearly, she knew who he was. It was impossible not to know who the famous Zhang Ye was. How many people in the country did not know who he was? But Bao Han clearly did not know that Zhang Ye was also here today. As former athletes, they were actually just making a guest appearance. Sometimes, she would do it, and other times, someone else would do it. There might even be a last-minute substitution, so it was not fixed. As such, she was not aware of the changes in the internal commentators of Central TV Sports Channel and other matters. It was probably because Central TV Sports Channel was too embarrassed to tell her about it. After all, the fuse for the great battle between Zhang Ye and the sports world that shocked the entire country was the table tennis team.
Zhang Ye nodded at her.
Yu Yingyi quickly said, "The three of us will team up today."
Bao Han nodded and looked at Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye looked back at her.
Bao Han smiled and walked up to him with a handshake. "Hello, Professor Zhang."
"Hello." Zhang Ye also stood up to shake her hand. "There's still about half an hour left. Why don't we get to know each other first? It'll be easier for us to work together later. "
Bao Han said, "I know you quite well."
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Is that so?"
"Yeah, we even scolded each other on Weibo before," Bao Han said with a smile.
Zhang Ye said, "Ah? Did we? "
Yu Yingyi was drinking water and nearly choked. "Ahem!"
Bao Han said helplessly, "Yes, we did. When you declared war on the sports world during the new year, over a hundred of us were there, but none of us scolded you. So this isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. Who knows how angry you made us back then? But forget it, let's not talk about the past anymore. Just based on that 'godly kick' of yours on the first day of the Olympics, everything in the past is written off. That kick was really satisfying! You scolded us once and took the blame for us once, so we're even. "Then she remembered that they were in a live broadcast studio and said," Ah, the cameras aren't on, right? "
The cameraman smiled and said, "No."
Bao Han wasn't very good-looking, but her temper was quite interesting.
Yu Yingyi was really afraid that the two of them would start fighting when they met, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
"Then let's match our lines?"
"Alright."
The two of them whispered to each other.
But Zhang Ye did not participate. He did not have anything to say.
…
Time was almost up.
His mother turned on the television. "He's here."
His father said, "What do you mean, son?"
"Who knows? Let's just watch the live broadcast in the afternoon," his mother said.
His father said, "Oh, we'll see."
…
Old Yao's house.
Yao Mi shouted, "It's starting, it's starting!"
Yao Jiancai asked, "What's the match this afternoon?"
"Table tennis? Women's quarterfinals," said Yao Mi.
Old Yao's wife said, "Oh, that's no fun. We'll definitely win."
"We still have to see." Yao Mi said, "That's what everyone thinks, but in the end, no one wants to watch it. How bad would the viewership ratings for our Beijing Olympics be?"
Yao Jiancai said happily, "Sure, watch!"
…
At First Uncle's house.
Before school started, the three sisters gathered together.
"Wow, it's starting."
"Time to watch the Olympics!"
"It's table tennis today."
…
Meanwhile.
A lot of people had turned on their televisions.
Some people were watching the live broadcast on their cell phones on the subway.
Some people were secretly watching the Olympics at work.
Of course, there were also a lot of people who did not pay much attention to today's match. They felt that there was no suspense, and since it was not the finals, the attention was not that high.
The live broadcast began!
After some music, the camera cut to the live broadcast studio.
Yu Yingyi appeared on the screen. "Hello, everyone. This is the Olympics' live broadcast studio. I'm Yu Yingyi. In five minutes, the women's table tennis quarterfinals will begin. The world's number two, China's Sun Linlin, will face off against the world's number 13, Japan's Akira."
It was just an opening commentary. There was nothing different about it from before.
However, the following introduction caused the audience sitting in front of the television to be in an uproar!
Yu Yingyi smiled and said, "First, let us introduce today's guest. Everyone should know her, Bao Han."
The camera cut to her.
Bao Han waved. "Hello, everyone."
Yu Yingyi said, "Next up is our new guest commentator, who will be my partner during the live broadcasts of the Olympics from now on, the famous host — Zhang Ye."
The camera cut to everything.
Zhang Ye's smiling face appeared. "Hello, everyone."
His mother pointed at the television in shock. "Little Ye!"
His father was also stunned. "It's Little Ye!"
His eldest younger sister exclaimed, "Ah!"
His third sister said, "My brother! My brother is on TV! "
Yao Jiancai said, "What?"
Yao Mi was extremely excited. "Teacher Zhang is going to be an Olympic commentator?"
Old Yao's wife sat down. "This is going to be interesting! Let me watch as well! "
The Internet was also going crazy!
"How could this be?"
"Damn, did I see it wrong?"
"Why did Zhang Ye become a commentator?"
"He's a host to begin with!"
"But this is a sports commentator. He's never done that before!"
"Isn't his relationship with the sporting world very strained? Why did they invite him? And he's even going to be commentating table tennis? "
"This is too exciting!"
"Everyone, quickly come and watch. Zhang Ye is going to commentate for the Olympics. Oh my God!"
"Are you serious?"
"It's true! He's doing a live broadcast right now! "
"No wonder Zhang Ye's Studio posted on Weibo!"
"Teacher Zhang has taken on a new job!"
"This is such a big job! It's such a pleasant surprise! "
"Damn, let's go and watch!"
"It's starting, it's starting!"
"We have to give face to Zhang Ye!"
One to ten, ten to a hundred.
The media was shocked!
The netizens were shocked!
Regarding Zhang Ye's appearance, everyone was extremely shocked!
Many of the viewers who were not planning to watch the afternoon's games also switched on their televisions in unison. This was the appeal of an A-list celebrity. There was no need to say anything. Just by showing his face and placing his name on the screen, he would attract countless gazes. This was also one of the reasons why Central TV Sports took the risk to invite Zhang Ye to commentate for the Olympics. An A-list celebrity like him was equivalent to the viewership ratings! Of course, as for whether or not he could hold on to the audience and keep them for a long time, that would depend on the ability of the commentator.
The attention soared!
Everyone wanted to see how different Zhang Ye's commentary was from others!
Actually, even the Central TV Sports Channel's staff wanted to know. Several of the executives and many of the staff and cameramen were also watching the live broadcast.
The scene cut to the stadium.
Yu Yingyi said, "Alright, the game is starting."
Bao Han explained, "Sun Linlin seems to be in good form today."
"Is that so?" Zhang Ye asked.
Bao Han nodded and said, "She looks very excited and her body is very relaxed."
Zhang Ye said, "Then let's wait and see."
1: 0
5: 0
7: 1
11: 2
Sun Linlin only used four minutes to take down the first game!
It was too fast!
It was too easy!
Yu Yingyi said, "Well done!"
Bao Han smiled and said, "Sun Linlin is in great form."
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "This is my first time commentating, so I was already prepared to be on stage for an hour. Do you really think that she can finish the game in 20 minutes?"
Yu Yingyi laughed and said, "The China table tennis team doesn't have any opponents right now."
But Zhang Ye said, "There are still opponents."
"Eh?" Yu Yingyi was taken aback. "Who else?"
Japan?
Korea?
Bao Han also gave Zhang Ye a look, not knowing what he was going to say.
Zhang Ye looked at them strangely and said, "Isn't it obvious? China's national table tennis team has always only had one opponent, and that was the International Table Tennis Federation. From the high toss, to the red and black rubber surface, to changing the size of the ball, to changing the 21-point format to 11-point format, all of these were done to make things difficult for the China team. But it doesn't seem to be of much use. I wonder what other tricks the International Table Tennis Federation will come up with in the future. "
Bao Han laughed, "Pfft!"
Yu Yingyi was also tickled.
The TV viewers.
"Hahaha!"
"The only opponent is the International Table Tennis Federation?"
"I'm cramping up from laughing!"
"As a comedian, this fellow is too professional!"
The second game had already begun.
Yu Yingyi said, "Sun Linlin's serve."
"Oh no, I made a mistake." Bao Han said, "The quality of this serve is not good."
The American sunflower returned with a smack and won the first point.
However, Zhang Ye cheered loudly, "Beautiful!"
Bao Han was floored. "Ah?"
Yu Yingyi said in surprise, "Teacher Zhang, whose team are you on?"
Zhang Ye said, "Of course I'm on the China team."
"Then why did you say it was beautiful when they won the first point?" Yu Yingyi said in a speechless manner.
But Zhang Ye's words left everyone speechless. "It's precisely because of this that I hope that the China team will lose a few more points so that the other countries' players will have the misconception that they can beat us. Otherwise, if they keep playing like this, I'm afraid that table tennis will be removed from the Olympics in the future!"
The cameraman cramped up with laughter!
Bao Han laughed out loud!
The audience was also tickled!
"Hahaha!"
"I've got to give it to this fellow!"
"This joker!"
"Is it really alright for you to commentate like that?"
Very quickly, the entire game came to an end.
Sun Linlin had won. She raised her racket in celebration!
Bao Han said, "Linlin is very happy."
Sun Linlin is an excellent athlete, so she knows how to think for her opponent. I think that's the spirit of the Olympics, the spirit of sportsmanship. Today, the entire world should remember this athlete named Sun Linlin. That gesture of raising her racket in celebration is really touching! "
Bao Han was speechless.
Yu Yingyi was speechless.
She was really happy, right?
Since when did she have that intention!
Touched, your sister!
Where the fuck do you see her being touched!
