big country sports

However, Feng Jingyuan and the team leaders were not happy for a long time. Before the start of the men's 100-meter butterfly qualifying competition in the evening, the 50 players of the Chinese team participating in the 100-meter and 9-meter events were almost wiped out except for Shen Lang who was about to start the competition. None made it to the semifinals.

Chapter 199 Breaking Four Asian Records

Shen Lang's performance in the 100-meter freestyle is already very good, but as a sport that is not influential enough, even if he wins the championship in the end, it will not attract too much attention abroad.

Unless you can win two or even three or four championships in the same event, then you can expand your influence to the world.

Of course, if he really wins the championship, even if it's just a championship, as a historic breakthrough in Chinese swimming, Shen Lang will still be famous in China, and he will also be popular in Asia.

Because of his good appearance, he also has the status of a "big cartoonist".

The "Captain Tsubasa", which has been popular all over the country, will land in Hong Kong and Macau after the World Cup, and has even been well received by the Japanese manga industry. Many Japanese manga publishers hope to obtain the right to publish Japanese.

But there is one person who doesn't like reading this comic very much, and this person is naturally Takahashi Yoichi.

Now when it comes to Captain Tsubasa, Takahashi Yoichi will be very depressed, because the "キャプテン风" he submitted before the World Cup was returned by "Weekly Shonen Jump" on the grounds that he lacked a basic understanding of football and the plot The painting style and character design are similar to "Captain Tsubasa", and there are suspicions of plagiarism.

This made Gao Qiaoyang very angry, and immediately asked someone to find this "Captain Football", but he didn't get it until the end of the World Cup.

This time "Captain Football" has been published to the first volume 4, and the fifth volume will be released soon, which is several times longer than his archived manuscripts.

Gao Qiaoyang immediately became depressed after reading this comic. Although the plot of this comic is not very similar to his works, the rhythm, style of painting, and character design are indeed very similar, and even the protagonist is somewhat similar. alike.

The most painful thing is these similar parts, his works are worse.

If Wu Jie knew the depression in Takahashi Yangyi's heart, he would definitely have to laugh, because the plot, rhythm, painting style, and character design are all localized according to the original version, and then improved!

After reading these four volumes of comics, Takahashi Yoichi suffered a lot of blows to his self-confidence!

But the most helpless thing is that the world view of Captain Tsubasa is not fictional. There are many real characters in this comic, such as Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, Lin Yaodong, members of the Chinese national team, etc. The main character went to play basketball.

In short, this manga uses his real name and draws his real appearance. This alone makes the sense of substitution much stronger than his pure YY.

Looking back at his comic, the final idea of ​​the ending is to let the protagonists beat the Chinese team once, gain the respect of Chinese football, and then enter the World Cup stage with the number one score in Asia.

But in reality, the Chinese team not only made it to the World Cup stage, but also achieved the dream result of fifth place. Japan has not defeated China in more than half a century, and the gap between the two sides is still widening.

Takahashi Yoichi himself knew that it was impossible for Japan to defeat the Chinese team in the past, and it will be even more impossible in the future.

This situation is bad enough, and the worst thing is that there is a football comic in China that is superior in all aspects and comes out one step ahead of him, and now it makes him look like a plagiarist.

When Gao Qiaoyang thought of being autistic again here, he felt that he shouldn't touch the subject of "soccer", and now he couldn't draw anymore.

"To hell with Japanese football, to hell with that Shen Lang, to hell with all of them!"

The more Gao Qiaoyang thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he tore up the manuscript like crazy, and threw it all into the toilet to flush away.

Shen Lang didn't know that the football cartoons that had influenced a generation in Japan were quietly killed by him. He is now preparing for the men's 100-meter butterfly preliminaries tonight.

"Butterfly" has been the best swimming style for viewing since its birth. After entering the water, athletes are as beautiful as butterflies flying in the air, so it has this name.

But this swimming style is also the most labor-intensive, and naturally depends more on physical fitness, but the technical requirements are not low at all, so it has always been the most influential swimming style in the swimming world.

China's butterfly stroke has not produced any results until 40 years later. This is also a common weapon used by European and American media, including Japanese media, to ridicule Chinese swimming.

In this game, no one cared about the slightly thinner Shen Lang, but he was very present from the very beginning of the game.

Shen Lang's team includes the men's 100-meter butterfly bronze medalist in the last Olympic Games, Davide Lopez from Spain.

This guy is naturally the favorite to win the championship. He took the lead in the water with a starting time of 0.68 seconds.

But Shen Lang moved faster. He ranked first in this group with 0.66 seconds, and then used the limit dive in the first 25 meters, combined with the "dolphin kick" kicking technique used after the upper reaches, to beat the other players. behind.

After all, Davide Lopez is an Olympic bronze medalist. Although he couldn't notice the performance of other players and even saved a little strength, he still caught up before turning around halfway.

Shen Lang's half-turn turn has always been his technical strength. With a perfect turn, he overtook Davide Lopez again.

It's a pity that the 16-year-old's body is still not as explosive as the adult players, and Shen Lang's speed in the back course still drops a bit, and finally Davide Lopez is the first to hit the wall with a slight advantage.

But even if he failed to get the first place in the group, the coaches of the other seven players in this group still looked in disbelief, because Shen Langyou ranked second in the group, and his time was 53.89 seconds!

Feng Jingyuan raised his hands and high-fived the coaches and team leaders around him.

The current men's 100-meter butterfly long pool world record is 53.31 seconds, and the Asian record is 54.02 seconds. Shen Lang's result has surpassed the Asian record, and the world record is no longer out of reach.

This can be seen from the fact that he and Davide Lopez hit a wall almost at the same time. Even if the latter did not show his full strength in the preliminaries, Shen Lang's performance was surprising enough.

The contestants and coaches in this group also secretly remembered Shen Lang's name.

This kid can swim such a good result at the age of 16, and he will definitely be a top player in this event in the future!

"What an amazing result, you swam well!"

Davide Lopez didn't know that he was almost passed by a 16-year-old in the water, and he didn't know that he was almost second in the group after finishing the game.

His preliminaries result is 53.79 seconds, the gap between the two is indeed very small.

"Thank you!"

Shen Lang didn't say much, this was already his personal best time, and it was difficult to break through 53.80 seconds during the World Championships.

So don't think about medals, he only hopes to enter one final.

A total of 100 players participated in the men's 68-meter butterfly this time, divided into 9 groups for preliminary rounds, and the top 16 also entered the semi-finals.

Shen Lang's group is the fifth group, and after waiting for more than an hour, the games of all groups ended.

The Chinese swimming team is anxiously waiting for the final result. This time, the Chinese team only sent Shen Lang to participate in the 100-meter butterfly. He belongs to China's only seedling in this stroke.

"Old Feng, the result is out!"

"What rank?"

The leader of the Chinese swimming team was in charge of getting back the results of the preliminaries to the event organizer. Feng Jingyuan saw him back and asked from a long distance away.

"No. 10! This is our best result, and also the best result in Asia. Shen Lang broke two Asian records in a row!"

The leader's face was full of smiles. Shen Lang's trip not only broke the best record in China, but also broke the Asian record.

There are a total of 100 Asian players participating in the 8-meter butterfly in this World Championships. Shen Lang's performance overwhelmed all Asian players.

Shen Lang shook his head, he hoped to enter the top eight, which at least means that he has a chance to enter the finals, but now it seems that he can swim to the semi-finals at most, and there is little hope of reaching the finals.

On the second day, the preliminaries of the 200m and 400m events continued.

Shen Lang's recovery ability is very good now, even if he doesn't borrow a card, participating in the four competitions will not make him feel very tired.

This morning, the 200-meter freestyle preliminaries are held first, which is currently his second best event, mainly because of his excellent underwater turning skills. The 200-meter competition has three push-off turns, which allows him to make up for Some physical disadvantages.

In the end, he once again swam out his best result in this event, a new Asian record - 1:48.28 seconds.

This is nearly one second faster than the original Asian record of 1:49.25 seconds, but there are too many masters in this event, this result is still only enough for him to enter the semi-finals with the 11th place, and [-]% of the finals still cannot be entered.

Shen Lang still has a lot of room to play technically, but he didn't show most of it in this World Championships.

One is that even if all the trump cards are used now, it may not be possible to swim into the top three, and the other is that the influence and income of the Olympic Games are much higher than that of the World Championships.

There are still two years before the Olympic Games. If he tries his best at the World Championships, his results will be better, but it is hard not to be noticed, after all, he is only 16 years old.

And two years is enough for European and American swimming teams to explore some of the skills he has shown, and his technical advantages will definitely be greatly reduced by then.

The technology he uses now is not ahead of the times, but has some of his own characteristics and innovations, so that even if he can swim to the finals, he will not attract too much attention, let alone attract others to study his every technical move.

In the 200-meter butterfly preliminaries held in the afternoon, Shen Lang also swam a good result of 1:58.05 seconds.

This is his current best project. This result is nearly one second higher than the original Asian record of 1:58.74 seconds. Although there is still some gap from the world record of 1:56.14 seconds, this gap is enough for him to enter the top eight Bit up.

In the end, Shen Lang ranked 54th among the 8 contestants, and entered the main race for the first time with the top eight results in the preliminaries.

However, this breakthrough achievement that the Chinese swimming team wanted to tell the world could not even get domestic news that Li Junwei and Zhen Aiguo went to Europe for trial training.

These two didn't have many performance opportunities in the World Cup, and their performance after playing was average.

However, their talent is not bad, and they are young, and they are also good qualifications to be drawn to Europe. The worst is the level of the main force of the five major leagues.

After the World Cup, they accepted invitations from several European teams to try out. Whether they can stay in the end is uncertain, but even this kind of news is shorter than Shen Lang breaking four Asian records in the World Championships. Bigger.

Wu Jie had already gone to Japan at this time, and received an important news as soon as he got off the plane, Matthaus was transferred to Bayern at a price of 300 million marks.

But this news did not surprise him. Last season, he suggested that the team buy Mateus.

Now if Bayern does not make some noise in the transfer market, Wu Jie really will not easily sign the new contract.

He just wants to force Bayern to spend money to strengthen the team, because many opponents are frantically reinforcing this season, and he may overturn if he does not have good helpers.

The most obvious change in European football this summer is that the flow of players from various countries has increased, and at the same time, more South American players have gone to Europe to play.

Before Juventus bought Lin Yaodong, they took Boniek first, and then signed Platini.

These two are not Italian players, but they are both famous world stars.

Bayern also began to chase American players who performed well in the World Cup, but these players are not so willing to play in the Bundesliga. La Liga, Ligue [-], Portuguese Liga, including Serie A are the places where South American players like to go.

Chapter 200 No amount of points is enough!

A large part of the reason why Germany has difficulty attracting foreign aid from South America and even Europe lies in the language barrier.

The UK has the greatest comprehensive advantage in language, so there is no need to emphasize this.

Since the official language of many countries in South America is Spanish, La Liga has unique advantages in attracting talented players from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and other South American countries.

The situation is similar in France. French is one of the Romance independent languages ​​with the largest number of speakers after Spanish, and it is basically the league that African foreign players give priority to.

Germany is in an embarrassment. They can only pick up leaks in neighboring countries such as Austria and Switzerland. The big clubs in the league mainly compete for talent at home. Matthaus was forcibly poached from domestic teams by Bayern this season.

Wu Jie is still very satisfied with the fact that the team recruited Matthaus. Although Bayern's lineup last season was not very luxurious, most of the players were in their peak period. Even without him, it is still a top European team. It is enough to overwhelm any opponent.

After Mateus came, he mainly played Chen Haonan's position in the Chinese team. To put it bluntly, he was a guard with a knife.

Xiao Ma is fully capable of this role. The next two years will be the stage when Matthaus's ability will explode at a high speed, and his level will not be much worse than that of Chen Haonan.

In addition to Matthaus, Wu Jie also took a fancy to Lineker.

This good man from the UK is about to usher in his own explosive period.

Bayern offered £50 to Leicester, who were relegated last season, before the World Cup was over, but the latter insist Lineker is not for sale unless £150m is offered.

Of course, this is the lion's big mouth. After the World Cup, the value of players has generally risen, but 150 million pounds is enough to buy a giant like Platini. Matthaeus is only a little over 100 million dollars in dollars, and Lineker is the most That's the price.

Lineker himself is a little bit excited. Now many players are still looking forward to being teammates with Wu Jie, but he still wants to help Leicester return to League One, so the deal is naturally blown.

What is Wu Jie doing now?

While shooting commercials and recording records in Japan, he was thinking about how to upgrade the tool people.

Now that Lu Da, Shen Lang, and Chen Haonan are already four and a half-star physical talents, he naturally wants to upgrade Lin Yaodong to this level, and by the way, raise their special abilities to four and a half stars.

Other than that, there is nothing to upgrade.

The limit he set for most tool people is four-and-a-half-star physical talents + two or three four-and-a-half-star special talents. With such talents, hard work, and a good life style, they can completely compete with the original five-star monsters. up.

Chen Haonan will be able to compete with Maradona in a few years, because the latter's talent has not been fully utilized at all.

Now he is considering whether to upgrade Lu Da and Shen Lang to five-star physical talent, especially since Shen Lang is going to fight against the biochemical teams of European and American countries.

But this has to wait for a while. The system has not yet found any fresh corpses in the boxing field. Human boxer tool man, first upgrade to five-star talent.

Otherwise, he felt that the four-and-a-half-star talent might not be able to strike hard when he met Tyson before his first imprisonment, including Lewis and Holyfield, who were also at the same historical level.

After Wu Jie thought about it, he still only upgraded Lin Yaodong to a four-and-a-half-star physical talent first, and then upgraded half of the special abilities of the tool men to a four-and-a-half-star level. These alone cost him almost 20 Olympic coins.

On August 8, Wu Jie flew directly to Munich from Japan.

At this time, Shen Lang had returned from Ecuador. He only advanced to the final in the men's 200-meter butterfly in 8th place, and the other three events fell to the semi-finals.

But breaking the Asian record four times is enough for the Chinese swimming team to be happy, and some foreign media also mentioned Shen Lang when reporting on the championship.

At the level shown by Shen Lang at the age of 16, he still showed a talent visible to the naked eye.

Now the goal of the Chinese swimming team is the Asian Games at the end of the year. Shen Lang's standard will be improved by then, and he will be able to easily contract the entire Asian fish pond.

Wait until the 1984 Olympic Games, that will be the real stage for him to enter the sea and flex his muscles.

Bayern also completed another deal during this time. They used the price of 200 million marks to poach left-back Andreas Bremmer from Kaiserslautern.

This deal was actually one of his suggestions.

Bremer was Kaiserslautern's main full-back last season, and Wu Jie naturally played against him. Although he hadn't shown his star strength at that time, Wu Jie knew that Bremer's explosive period was coming.

Bayern's lineup last season was very balanced. If you want to find some flaws, then the state of left back Udo Hosman began to decline. Insufficient firepower.

Now that Matthaus and Bremer have joined, as long as Rummenigge can heal his injuries and come back to life in the next two years just like the original plane, then Bayern's lineup will have no flaws. , Real Madrid, Barcelona and other strong teams, he is also confident that they will all be defeated.

Because in this era, he is the invincible Lu Bu!
