France's summer has a unique romantic charm. The banks of the Seine are like a painting that hides secrets and emotions. The bridges over the river, the boats on the river, and the tourists on the banks are all part of the scenery in the painting, and also part of the painting in the scenery.
The women's basketball team's versatile playing style led them to a strong run in the qualifiers. Even without fielding their full starting lineup, they still finished first in their group and advanced to the quarterfinals with a perfect record of three wins.
The online frenzy in China surged again after the knockout stage draw results were announced.
- The knockout stage draw results are in; my quarter-final opponent is Xiao Rizi.
Wow, the national spirit has been awakened instantly.
- We can talk about other things later; we can't afford to lose this game.
-It's the knockout stage now, please, Zeng Ling, stop practicing formations.
-The fact that none of our starting lineups have played together so far proves our women's basketball team is strong and fearless.
- Don't try anything funny.
-I want a stable and happy life. If we can beat the Japanese team, everything else is negotiable.
- The Chinese team is in good form now, much better than during the Olympic qualifiers.
- Back then, they were all veterans. Now, the newly joined Sun Meng and Ji Yun are both very strong players. As long as we stay calm, beating the Japanese team shouldn't be a problem at all.
- Classmates, did you watch today's "Olympic Village Behind-the-Scenes" special program? The food in the Olympic Village looks delicious! All the dishes in the Asian restaurant area are my favorites.
- The foodie upstairs doesn't even pay attention to the important parts. Look closely at the background at 6 minutes and 27 seconds in the video.
-Weng Pei got food for Chu Feiyu again!-
- You can even ship this? I'm speechless.
Shh—we ship these couples, let's just enjoy it in our own little world on the Erqi Super Topic and not let it affect the discussion of the competition.
- Hahaha, the CP fans upstairs are so self-aware! If you don't understand, just ask. What's the deal with the "Erqi" supertopic? -
- Raise your hand to explain. Weng Pei's jersey number is 7, and Chu Feiyu's jersey number is 27. Initially, some netizens started shipping them haphazardly, saying that 27 sounds like "love 7" in Chinese. Weng Pei liked that post, and then the "27 CP" (a fanfiction about the 27 pairing) hashtag appeared.
-But after that, Weng Pei doesn't seem to have posted anything, which is unlike her.-
-I strongly suspect her account has been temporarily confiscated by the team. For details, please see when Lu Yu was being attacked; she posted over twenty statuses in one day and argued with netizens, hahaha. -
- Weng Pei's personality wouldn't allow her to hold back her laughter, otherwise how could she keep blasting three-pointers?
-I suddenly made a small discovery...there's another person sitting at the table with Weng Peichufeiyu who isn't wearing a team uniform, just loitering around.
-His name is Jiao Yuyin! What kind of unemployed person is he?
- Okay, I'm an unofficial member.
- This CEO is always running around with his wife, both domestically and internationally. It's like he's leaving no room for single people!
-There's no shortage of boyfriends in the world; if there are too many, then I won't have any.
- I'm not in the mood to laugh, the elimination rounds are so tense. -
-A shout-out to Zeng Ling: If we lose to the Japanese team, my great-grandfather will come to me in a dream and hold you accountable!

The Seine River shimmered, reflecting the lights of Paris.
The Nelsey Stadium in the southwest corner of Paris was already buzzing with excitement, and the date signs on the right bank of the Seine were flashing to August 16th, packed with fans who came to take photos.
"Good evening, viewers. This is the Bercy Stadium in Paris, France. I'm your pre-match host, Xiaoqi." The beautiful host, Xiaoqi, smiled confidently in front of the camera.
"It is 6:30 p.m. local time now. In half an hour, the quarter-final match of the Olympic women's basketball tournament will be held at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, with China facing Japan. There is a 7-hour time difference between China and here. The match will start promptly at 12 p.m. Beijing time."
"As you can see, there are many five-star red flags fluttering behind me. There are a lot of Chinese team fans here today. It seems that the fans of the Chinese women's basketball team are extremely excited about this game! Now, I'll randomly pick a member of the audience for an interview—ah, here's a handsome guy—handsome guy, say hello to the camera and introduce yourself."
The passerby being interviewed was wearing a light blue t-shirt, which made his skin look very fair and gave him a youthful appearance.
He was taken aback for a moment, then waved generously at the camera: "Hello everyone, my name is Lan Songyi."
Xiaoqi asked, "Are you a local international student?"
"Oh—no, I'm now—you could say I'm a food blogger."
"You came all the way here specifically to watch the Chinese women's basketball team play for the Olympics? That handsome guy is a die-hard fan, did he come alone?"
"I came with a friend."
Xiaoqi's gaze and the camera both turned at the same time. In the shot, the man next to the handsome man in blue was dressed in all black, and said to the camera with a forced smile, "Oh, my name is Ji Yuanyi. He's lying. I'm not his friend. I'm pursuing him."
"—Hahahahaha." Xiao Qi didn't dare to reply immediately, and even wondered if this counted as a live broadcast accident. She could only echo with a dry laugh.
Lan Songyi kicked the guy who was talking nonsense and quickly changed the subject: "We are all fans of the Chinese women's basketball team. Go China!"
Xiaoqi quickly stepped in front of the camera and shouted, "Yes, let's give the warmest cheers to the Chinese team! Go, women's basketball girls! Now let's turn the camera back to the commentary booth."
