This Omega is Sweet and Wild

Chapter 83

At the end of the year, the pace of time suddenly picked up.The training center has hard training day after day, and Hwaseong No. [-] Middle School has the same mock exams every week. Li Cheng and Xiao Yiheng are thousands of miles away, but they are both working hard on their own journeys.

Since entering the training center, Li Cheng has never spent a weekend.Every morning at 04:30, I start eating and training as soon as I open my eyes, and turn off the lights and close my eyes at 10:30 in the evening, seven days a week.

It wasn't until one night when Li Cheng hid under the covers and secretly chatted with Xiao Yiheng on his mobile phone that he suddenly discovered that the New Year was coming before he knew it.

Xiao Yiheng asked him if he would have a holiday for the New Year.

Li Cheng returned a paralyzed expression of salted fish.

Lili Orange: No, of course not _(:з」∠)_

Liliu Orange: The team issued a notice, and the final selection will be held on January [-]st.

There are dozens of people in their current swimming team, and only one-third of them can finally represent the country. , you can get a glimpse of it.

When Xiao Yiheng heard this, he immediately asked him with concern if he was nervous.

Granules of orange:?

Lili Orange: Why am I nervous?

Lili Orange: It must be that other people are nervous.

Xiao Yiheng: "..."

……

With the dawn of the new year came the three-day internal selection at the training center.There are 18 major events and 220 minor events in the Gymnasium, and there are more than 20 swimming events alone.

竞速游泳根据赛程分为50米、100米、200米、400米、800米、1500米，厉橙要报名的就是100米和200米的比赛。

Of course, the internal selection is not "win or lose in one battle". In addition to the final results, it also depends on the players' usual training in the team.

Although Li Cheng was very confident in front of Xiao Yiheng, he was still a little nervous inside.After all, like him, his teammates are all provincial champions. If Li Cheng gets tired, he will be overtaken by them.

Fortunately, this month's scientific training has allowed Li Cheng to make great progress, and his 100-meter score has improved by half a second!You know, in racing competitions, seconds are not easy, seconds! !

With a solid record, Li Cheng is more confident to win the qualification.

In order to better preserve the physical strength of the players and get as many medals as possible, each player is only allowed to sign up for two events.Regardless of the large number of swimming teams, in fact, only two or three people signed up for each event.

Li Cheng chose to sign up for his best 200 self and 100 self. There was one opponent for 200 self and two opponents for 100 self. Coincidentally, those two opponents were from City X, which was the first day of training. People who mocked him in the X city dialect.

Li Cheng didn't even bother to remember their names, so he nicknamed them according to their appearance. The tall and thin one was called Hairtail, and the one with bushy beard was called Catfish Monster.

These two are both alphas, and they were born in the same city and the same school. The two of them are very close to each other, and they rarely interact with other players.

That school is a strong swimming school. It is said that the students of their school have been able to get places in the previous World Games.

Li Cheng dismissed this, "It is said" what is so great, he is still a "legend".

Before the start of the competition, the contestants warmed up by the pool, and Li Cheng swam back and forth for a few rounds to wake up all the muscles in his body and adjust his condition to the best.

He emerged from the water, took off his swimming goggles and was about to go ashore, when suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of him.

Li Cheng looked up along that hand, and found that the person standing in front of her was actually Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian's race is over. His physical fitness is excellent, and his family has spent a lot of money to hire foreign coaches to train him from an early age. Therefore, his performance is the best among all competitors. In the 500-meter race just now, he surpassed other competitors. There is a whole track for people.

Zhou Jian said, "Li Cheng, I'll pull you."

"It's okay." Li Cheng felt that it was troublesome, put his hands on the wall of the pool, and jumped onto the shore easily.

Zhou Jian's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly, and finally he could only retract it and touched his nose.

"Are you finished?" Li Cheng chatted with him while wiping off the water with a bath towel.

"The competition is over." Zhou Jian nodded, "How are you preparing?"

"Oh, I don't need to prepare, even if I swim with my eyes closed, the place for this competition is still mine!" Li Cheng raised her head triumphantly, her nose almost touching the ceiling!

His voice was a little loud, and the two X City players standing in the distance looked at him at the same time, and then looked away as if they didn't hear him.

"..." Zhou Jian saw that he was so confident, a little hesitation flashed in his eyes.He lowered his voice and said, "Li Cheng, I don't know if you have heard something, but I think you'd better be mentally prepared."

Li Cheng asked carelessly: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Jian: "The coaches of the two X City players are students of our training team Yu Coach."

"... Huh?" Li Cheng didn't turn the corner for a while, and couldn't figure out the interpersonal relationship.

Coach Yu is the head coach of their swimming team, and she is in charge of both the men's and women's teams.She is a ruthless alpha, almost everyone on the women's team was scolded and cried by her, and on the men's team, there were also a few who had poor psychological endurance and secretly wiped away their tears.Everyone privately complained that this "Yu Motou" is so cruel and ruthless, he must eat three children every meal.

But Li Cheng likes her quite a lot, because she curses at others, and she has a strong coaching ability. Li Cheng's progress so much is all due to her strict requirements.

Zhou Jian: "Didn't Coach Yu be transferred from the second team of the national team? She has been the coach of the second team for many years and brought out countless champions. The coach of the x city sports school used to be her subordinate Soldiers."

"……so what?"

"Therefore, X City Sports School has players selected for the final list every year because of the mentor-student relationship."

Zhou Jian was worried that because of this reason, Coach Yu would allocate the quota that should belong to Li Cheng to other people.For this reason, after learning about this, he came here to remind Li Cheng.

After hearing his words, Li Cheng frowned, and her relaxed mood was cast with a layer of gloom.

Li Cheng has been swimming for so many years, and has participated in dozens of serious competitions at least.He knows very well that sometimes the game is not compared with opponents, but with people outside the pool.

He once saw that a player made a foul by jumping. It is reasonable to say that the result should be invalidated, but because of the hard relationship between the coach and the referee team, he finally "successfully appealed" and the player won a medal; In the competition, a certain platform jumper performed abnormally, because this player is the "son" of the host country, so he had a ridiculous chance to re-jump...

Li Cheng recalled the details of the training center for more than a month. He didn't want to believe that the coach Yu, who seemed stern and selfless, would also favoritism on such an important matter.

"Li Cheng, why don't you ask your coach to help you find a relationship?" Zhou Jian reminded him.

"..." Li Cheng shook her head silently.

What are you looking for?Wu Xu is thousands of miles away in Huacheng, how could it be possible to help him find a relationship from such a long distance?

He has always been Wu Xu's pride. He still remembers what Wu Xu said to him the day Wu Xu sent him to the training center - "If there is a world champion among my students, I believe It's you."

The world champion has to swim out on his own. If Li Cheng admits defeat, compromises, and starts seeking relationships now, how can he be worthy of his dedication for so many years and those who stand behind him and support him?

Seeing that Li Cheng kept silent, Zhou Jian stared at his side face ecstatically, and couldn't hold back his words: "If you can't find anyone, I can actually ask my family..."

"No need." Without even thinking about it, Li Cheng categorically refused, "If I want to find a relationship, won't I be reduced to the same kind of person as them?"

Li Cheng looked at the take-off platform not far away. In the open space next to the take-off platform, the two players from City x were surrounded by the coach, talking for some reason.

He withdrew his gaze, and his eyes became more determined: "As an athlete, results are the last word. As long as I swim fast enough, the black man will never catch up with me."

……

whistle.

On the take-off platform, several slender figures pushed off the take-off platform at the same time, like arrows shooting into the blue water, breaking the calm in the swimming pool.

On both sides of the swimming pool, athletes who were not competing gathered together to cheer for their familiar friends.

There are a total of ten tracks in the swimming pool. In order to save time, the 100-meter freestyle trials are conducted by male and female teams together.

As soon as he entered the water, Youdao's honey-colored figure was particularly conspicuous. He rushed to the front of all the tracks with a powerful momentum, dragging a long white wave behind him.

At the finish line at the end of the track, the head coach of the training team "Yu Motou" crossed his arms and looked at the competition in the swimming pool with a serious expression.

Several assistant coaches surrounded her, looking at the players' information and analyzing in a low voice.

"The three-way take-off is slow. I have corrected him many times before, but he can't do it as soon as he comes to the official competition. His mental quality is too poor."

"What happened to Erdao today? As soon as he entered the water, the rhythm became chaotic!"

"It's a pity for Liu Dao. The team doctor said that the old injury on her left leg has recurred. Although she has been prescribed medication, her condition is still declining."

"Five..." An assistant coach stopped the pen in his hand, "...the momentum is very good, the state is very good, and the rhythm is very good-is this the omega?"

As soon as he said "omega", all the assistant coaches understood him and immediately understood who he was.

After all, the entire swimming team has dozens of people and only one omega!

On the day Li Cheng came to report, everyone thought he was from the diving team. After repeated confirmation several times, they found out that he was the only omega member in the swimming team.Looking through his resume again, he found a series of glittering gold medals. He even won three gold medals in the Provincial Games in Washington last year!

Racing competitions have always been dominated by alphas, betas only account for one-third of alphas, and there is not even one omega in a few years.Looking around the world, there are very few omega who can win international medals, but all omega who can stand on the podium have made unimaginable efforts by ordinary people.

The assistant coaches are secretly discussing whether Li Cheng will be the next Omega world champion.

"Li Cheng's advantage is obvious, and this time he is definitely number one again." A male assistant said with satisfaction, "He took the first place in the 200 just now, and his technique is very good. Perfect, as long as you can maintain this level, it is absolutely no problem to win medals in official competitions, and you will be able to compete for the first place."

"But he is an omega, will it affect it?" Another female assistant asked, "It is written in his physical examination records that when he was in the last provincial competition, the climax period was advanced, and it was later restrained by a temporary mark. If This time, what if he is ahead of schedule again?"

"This is a small problem." The male assistant coach said, "Let him go to the team doctor for a physical examination later, and ask the team doctor to issue a detailed report. If it is true that the peak period is coming, then apply for an inhibitor."

You talk to me, and they quickly discuss this matter.In their view, with Li Cheng's ability, being selected into the final list this time is a certainty, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

When they were discussing, Coach Yu kept silent, the nasolabial folds were deeply engraved on her face, and she stared at the choppy swimming pool, never leaving her eyes.

In just a few tens of seconds, as everyone expected, Li Cheng led the rushing water and was the first to reach the wall!

There was a buzz, and when Li Cheng's use jumped out on the big electronic screen, when the other athletes on the shore saw Li Cheng's results, they all exclaimed in unison.

The female teaching assistant turned the file folder to the last page, and on the document paper, there was a striking font printed on it - "World Club > Swimming Team Final List"

Competitors for other events have been filled out, and only freestyle players are left to be filled in.

The female teaching assistant picked up a pen and wrote down a series of names on the paper.

Freestyle 1500m: Zhou Jian

Freestyle 800m: Zhou Jian

Freestyle 400m:  …

200m freestyle: Li Cheng

100m freestyle: Li Cheng

Freestyle 50m:  …

"Wait." Suddenly, Coach Yu, who hadn't said a word all this time, interrupted the assistant.

"What's the matter?" The teaching assistant looked at her suspiciously.

Coach Yu raised his hand and double-clicked under Li Cheng's name.

"200 free, it can be Li Cheng. But 100 free, change."

"...Substitution?" A look of shock flashed across the female assistant's face, "But his grades..."

"I said substitution." Coach Yu said blankly, "Are you questioning my decision as the head coach?"

The female assistant didn't dare to ask again, she crossed out Li Cheng's name with a pen, and changed the name after the "100-meter freestyle" event to the No.2 player from City X.

——The quota that should have belonged to Li Cheng was eventually allocated to someone else.
