[Competition] Strive for the top

The first day of the Asian Games.

The preliminaries started at [-]:[-] in the morning. On the first day, there were a total of six competitions, and the women's group occupied four of them, and Yuan Zheng participated in the remaining two.

In You Yue's words, you are really good at memorizing, but in Zhou Ming's words, the Chinese men's team is about to start off well.

袁铮上午参加了200米蝶泳的预赛，并以小组第一的名次进入决赛。然后紧接着，起水后休息大约20分钟,男子400米个人混合泳也开始预赛。袁铮在体力上素来优秀，平日高强度的训练让他在比赛时拥有极强的耐性,所以400米混也以4分21秒52的成绩排名预赛第一晋级决赛。

Of course, compared to the main event of the 1-meter butterfly swimming with a good time of 58:33, Yuan Zheng is not absolutely sure of winning the gold in the 200-meter mixed race. He even almost lost the No.400 in the group preliminaries.Threatening him was the Japanese player, Higashi Teng Hirano.In another group, the South Korean player, Kim Chan-soon, performed particularly well.

The preliminaries are over, and the final will be held at 18:400. The first competition is the men's 4 individual medley.Yuan Zheng ranked No.[-] in the third waterway according to the total score of the preliminaries.

Before entering the arena, You Mingjie patted his arm and said, "No, don't force it. The final of the 15-meter butterfly will be in 200 minutes. That's your gold medal. We only need to see the medal here."

Yuan Zheng nodded.

Xinhua News Agency:

[Guangzhou Asian Games, the first day of competition, the Chinese National Swimming Team won a gold medal, two silver medals and two bronze medals. 】Yuan Zheng lived up to expectations in the 200-meter butterfly and won a gold medal.In the 400-meter individual medley, she lost to Japan's Dong Teng Hirano and South Korea's Kim Chan-soon.

When Yuan Zheng came down from the awarding platform, You Le looked at him with a smile, and bumped into him: "I said you are not good at medley swimming, right? It's only a bronze medal, and you said I'm too serious? I don't know if I'm saying that Own?"

Yuan Zheng took the bronze medal and knocked him on the head: "Do you understand the strategy? I'm here to guarantee 200 discs."

"Tut tsk tsk, come on, excuse!" You Le hummed and ran on people, "If you have the ability, there will be no problem of retaining your physical strength. What are you afraid of? I am really afraid that you will run out of physical strength in a 400-meter swim ah?"

Yuan Zheng was silent. After thinking about it, he felt that You Le's words really made sense. He had indeed reserved his physical strength in the 400-meter race this time, which resulted in a slight decline in his performance. It seemed that this lesson had to be remembered.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Asian Games, there was the preliminaries of the 100-meter butterfly. Yuan Zheng steadily won the No.

After 40 minutes, it was the 200-meter freestyle preliminaries, and You Le had to participate in this event.

Also participating in this project is Yuan Zheng. Because of his excellent performance in the American 4×100m freestyle relay, You Mingjie took advantage of the rare opportunity of the Asian Games to train boldly and let Yuan Zheng also try to swim freestyle in the competition.

This is also the first time the two have competed together.

Yuan Zheng and You Le were not very lucky, they were drawn into a group in the preliminaries draw, one in the second lane and one in the seventh lane, they couldn't get far enough.

The two of them talked in a low voice while waiting at the entrance of the tunnel, and mentioned a few famous Asian players in this event, all of whom are close to the world level, and they must not be taken lightly, as a negligence may miss the medal.

After entering the arena, You Le walked in front. He put on his swimming cap, then suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yuan Zheng, swiped his thumb on the neck, and showed a sharp little canine tooth.

Yuan Zheng's eyebrows immediately stood up.

Therefore, in this preliminaries, Yuan Zheng ranked second in the group.

Although he was angry, he still didn't swim past his wife.

There is no way, You Xiaole's knowledge in freestyle is too deep, and he has safely entered the top three in the world ranking.He, Yuan Zheng, is just a half-way monk, competing with people who are good at the project in a field he is not good at. He is obviously looking for abuse.

You Le drank the water together, smiled brightly, circled around the people and said, "Brother, Brother Xiaozheng, let me make another bet with you, just 200, okay?"

Yuan Zheng had just finished the competition, his body was steaming with anger, and his brows furrowed when he heard this: "I'm sure, aren't you?"

You Le raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips: "Don't talk about anything else, just say today, do you dare to nod? Bet or not?"

Yuan Zheng saw that You Xiaole's Beijing accent came out again, and the brat must have been excited, so he thought to himself that he was in a good state, and ran on a few words, saying that he couldn't let his silly daughter-in-law break a record or something , so he simply nodded: "What bet?"

Le frowned and thought for a while, "The loser listens to the winner, and does what he shouts."

Yuan Zheng's face did not change, but remained silent.

"Will you bet?" You Le stared provocatively.

Yuan Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, pressing You Le's head: "You are taking advantage of this, don't go too far, it's appropriate."

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't you feel confident?"

"The most important thing for a person is self-knowledge."

"Where do you not know yourself?"

"How do you know yourself?"

"Tsk, look at this sour smell, it's still a man, isn't it? Don't worry about the little belly, it's settled!"

Yuan Zheng looked at You Yue's cheeky face and smiled.

Of course, it is a bit whimsical for Yuan Zheng to swim in the 200 free swim. Even if he tried his best to swim, he only got No.4 in the final and missed the medal.

You Le smiled and held his first individual gold medal to beat Yuan Zheng: "Remember, you owe me 'responsiveness'."

Yuan Zheng gave him a sideways glance with some displeasure.

You Le snorted twice through his nostrils: "What's wrong? Are you not convinced?"

Yuan Zheng said to himself, "I thought you could break the record."

Amusement dumbfounded.

On this day, Yuan Zheng won another gold medal in the 100 butterfly and broke the Asian record.

And his schedule is more than half done.

On the third day of the Asian Games, You Le broke the Asian record in the 50-meter freestyle. When he came down, he gave Yuan Zheng a frightened look.After a while, he stuck to it again, biting Yuan Zheng's ear and said, "How is it? Isn't it bad? Are you not disappointed?"

Yuan Zheng touched You Le's wet brown curly hair with his backhand, and let out a "hmm".

Also on this day, the swimming competition of the Asian Games held a relay event for the first time, the 4×200 freestyle relay, and Yu Le did not participate.This event mainly consists of Liu Lang and Wen Hao, as well as two other freestyle players. After intense competition, the Chinese team won No.3 in this event.

Zhou Ming felt a little regretful. If You Le and Yuan Zheng were replaced, maybe he could win the gold medal.But he just didn't dare to do it.This time, in order to get more medals and points, he has arranged the competition for these two people to the maximum extent, which reduced the chances of other players to win medals, and dissatisfaction in the team was everywhere.

On November 11th, which was also the fourth day of the Asian Games, neither You Le nor Yuan Zheng had a competition, so they went to the arena to cheer for Wen Hao who participated in the 16-meter freestyle.

Wen Hao's talent in swimming is not bad, or he is very talented. He is not weaker than Liu Lang. He even won a silver medal in the 17-meter freestyle World Championships when he was 200 years old.You know, in this level of competition, Liu Lang has won a total of two silver medals over the years.

After that, Wen Hao played for three years, and even prepared to retire before returning to the Asian Games. It can be said that he also wanted to draw a perfect end to his swimming career.

Wen Hao went for the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle.In normal training, he has basically given up other swimming styles and only practiced long-distance freestyle in order to have more possibilities to win gold in the Asian Games.

This time, he stood with Liu Lang, who also entered the finals, and competed for the gold medal with the brother who was the most popular before the game. It was really a desperate attempt.Even, in order to get this medal, he let go of his preconceptions and vigilance, and had seven or eight long knee-to-neck talks with Coach Ye, revealing the heavy mud-like things accumulated in his heart, and with the help of Coach Ye, With difficulty and pain, he sorted out a "channel" that would allow him to breathe a sigh of relief.

When standing on the starting platform, Wen Hao told himself that this was his last chance in swimming career, and he had to do his best to accomplish his goal and give himself a good answer to his nearly 15-year career.

It is no coincidence.

Liu Lang is also approaching retirement.

He originally thought he could still swim, at least until he was 24 years old, and he could finally participate in the London Olympics.

However, the rapid rise of the younger generation woke him up, making him realize that he was getting old and was about to reach the end of his career.

Chinese swimming is like this. High-intensity training and excessive squeezing of potential lead to their extremely short sports career. Even if they want to stay here, they gradually become powerless.

Liu Lang talked with his coach before the game. In this Asian Games, whether he can win the gold medal in the middle and long distance is very important. Whether he succeeds or not is related to whether he will continue to train and compete in the future.

Therefore, Liu Lang, who does not want to retire, is also desperate for this 400-meter freestyle, and it is imperative!

On this day, You Le watched the 400-meter freestyle final with reddened eyes. In the competition that seemed to burn out the last light of life, the intensity of chasing each other continued until the last moment.

The champion of the 400m freestyle, Liu Lang.

The third runner-up, Wen Hao.

Liu Lang's competition result was infinitely close to the Asian record. This was like a bright light, a new road, and a new life, which made Liu Lang weep with joy.

Wen Hao, on the other hand, dived into the water silently the moment he saw the results, and did not come out for a long time.The swimming goggles were removed in the water, and the transparent liquid melted into the blue pool water, tasting the bitterness spreading in his mouth alone.

After that, You Le and Coach Ye went to pick up Wen Hao.

Wen Hao still smiled lightly, hugged You Le and Ye Shuwen lightly, and when he let go, he said, "I'm sorry, coach, I tried my best."

You Le heard a slight trembling voice in this sentence.

Among the Chinese legions on the field, there are some old boys.

They have fought in the World Series many times, but rarely won the championship on the field.

But they still persist in fighting...
