[Competition] Strive for the top

Wen Hao stared at the ceiling with flickering eyes, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth, buried his head in You Le's neck, and grabbed You Le's shoulder vigorously. White marks overflowed from the joints on the back of his trembling hands, and he let out a mournful cry ...

The play clothes were scratched and wrinkled, and the skin on his neck felt the pain of being pierced. He raised his hand and gently patted the man's back: "There is still a chance, there must be..."

Wen Hao shook his head.

You Le's eyes are also red: "Brother...don't be like this...you are like me, I am also..."

Ye Shuwen looked at the two sad little beasts licking each other's wounds, his face darkened again and again, he grabbed Wen Hao's neck and pulled him out.

Wen Hao and You Le stared at him blankly.

Ye Shuwen looked deeply at Wen Hao and said, "Why are you crying? I want to congratulate you. This result will allow you to qualify for the Dubai World Championships next month. Are you still crying like this?"

Wen Hao blinked, dazed for a while, his eyes rolled blankly for a while, and said, "I can't even do it for the World Championships..."

"Who told you it can't be done?" Ye Shuwen raised his eyebrows immediately, "Who told you! I beat him to death! Or are you saying that about yourself?"

"..." Wen Hao opened and closed his lips twice, and finally looked away, his eyes fell on the floor, and he said dully, "I haven't won a gold medal in the Asian Games. I have. What qualifications do I have to go out to compete? This result says Maybe you won't even make it to the finals..."

Before Ye Shuwen could finish listening, he put his foot on Wen Hao's calf, and roared angrily, "You're fucking endless!? What's wrong with JB? You don't have any drive at all at a young age, and I miss you the worst." Ten! I have never seen anyone more negative than you!"

Wen Hao didn't dare to rub his calf, he just gritted his teeth and stared at others, his whole body was aroused with anger.He was different from that boy You Yue, he hadn't been scolded by the coach for many years, let alone touched, this time, he was really ashamed and angry, full of anger!

Ye Shuwen and Wen Hao stared for two seconds, grabbed Wen Hao's collar and pulled it out. Wen Hao tried to break it, but he twisted his wrist with his backhand and howled in pain, which attracted players from all over the world to stop and watch.

You Le hesitated for a moment, and followed behind. For the first time, he was a little afraid of this new teaching assistant. Only then did he realize that although this person looked reasonable, he would actually make a move if he was really angry.

Be virtuous with my uncle!Sure enough, a generation of people.

Ye Shuwen walked a few steps, stopped again, and turned to look at You Le: "You go back first, and tell You Mingjie that I took him away."

You Le nodded hurriedly.

Ye Shuwen pushed Wen Hao forward, muttering: "I don't believe you can't be cured! How hard is it to live? Ah! Let me ask you! How hard can it be!? No matter how hard it is, you are a mess! No brain!? Thinking so much every day, why didn’t I want to kill you! How good it is to explode your head! Ah!? Think more and do less, no wonder you are so stinky!!”

Wen Hao blushed and growled in a low voice: "Let go! You know nothing! What if I get the gold medal? You find me a job? I might as well study me, I..."

"Shut up!" Ye Shuwen licked Wen Hao's collar and quickened his pace.

You Le took a breath, feeling as if his throat was stuck, and "Xiao Sheng was afraid" and withdrew from the front of the onlookers.

"Lele..."

"Scared!" You Le turned around in horror.

Yuan Zheng stood behind him, looked away from Ye Shuwen and Wen Hao's backs, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Just as You Le was about to explain, he suddenly laughed for some reason, the corners of his mouth almost reached his cheeks, his eyes were crescent-shaped, and he looked gloating.

Yuan Zheng raised his eyebrows.

You Le endured it for a while, and said with a smile: "The coach asked the senior brother to participate in the World Championships. The senior brother was yelling, but he was scolded by the coach bloody, and he was carried out with his neck stuck. I guess it will take a long time to clean up."

"Oh..." Yuan Zheng nodded, and there was some regret in his eyes that he didn't see the scene.

You Le put his hand on Yuan Zheng's shoulder, raised his chin and looked over there, although he couldn't see anyone anymore, but he was still pondering over this matter, and said, "I also feel that senior brother is not doing enough. "

"Huh?" Yuan Zheng was really stunned this time.

"For me, I've always felt that he likes to think and think about things before and after, but in the end he's so worried that he can't act. If he has the same temper as you, he will do it when he thinks about it. If he does it before talking, maybe who I can be with now Woolen cloth……"

Yuan Zheng squinted at him, the dangerous light in his eyes flashed away.

You Le didn't see it either. He frowned and thought seriously, and murmured: "Of course, there's nothing wrong with the character of senior brother. If you think more, you'll make fewer mistakes, stay safe, and don't offend others. This is also right. Yes... But, how should I put it? I don't like it, I think it's too boring, and I will lose many opportunities. The coach is right, think more and do less, the big brother really needs someone to beat him hard, Or force him to go forward, maybe the future will really be different... um... brother Xiaozheng, do you remember the coach mentioned his girlfriend or wife?"

"..." Yuan Zheng understood the meaning of You Le in an instant, smashed the little "flying vinegar" in his mouth, rubbed You Le's head and said, "Don't think about it, that's the coach What to do."

"Really?" You Le raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it a little too enthusiastic?"

Yuan Zheng sighed and said, "Just like tour guides, they leave here and then come back with more knowledge and enthusiasm, so the most unbearable thing for them is negativity and withdrawal. 'Enthusiasm' for Wen Hao is not Is it normal?"

You Le murmured unwillingly: "It's also possible..."

Yuan Zheng pursed his lips and rubbed You Yue's head silently.It is very difficult for different circles to intersect, but whether they can understand each other, attract each other, and finally blossom and bear fruit depends on five points of luck and five points of hard work. He is lucky to know You Le, but he was able to come to Today I also have my own persistence and hard work.So in his opinion, if Wen Hao still doesn't understand what is the existence that must be guarded and must never be let go, then even if there is such a person suitable for him, he may miss it.

Beijing time on March 11.

The Guangzhou Asian Games is on its fourth day.

In the men's 200m individual medley preliminaries, Japan's Kosang Ken ranked first and advanced to the final with a time of 2:01.

Yuan Zheng ranked second and advanced to the final with a time of 2:03.

You Le ranked fifth with a time of 2:05.

When Yuan Zheng got into the water, he whispered in You Le's ear, "Striptease."

"..." You Le rolled his eyes.Isn't that striptease?He is really not afraid!How hard is it to walk a bird?Grandpa can also dance elephant dance!Elephant~~Elephant~~Why is your nose so long...Damn it!It seems to work harder!The point is not whether you dare to jump, but who jumps!

You Le Wang Tian thinks about Yuan Zheng dancing an elephant dance... "Pfft!"

After eating at four o'clock in the afternoon, You Le and Yuan Zheng went to the swimming pool to warm up.

During the Asian Games, they all went all out and took it seriously during the warm-up preparation period, but today there is indeed a little difference.

First of all, the interest of the young couple made this competition a lottery.

Secondly, the preliminaries champion is in the hands of Japanese player Gao Sangjian.This is a dangerous signal, indicating that neither You Le nor Yuan Zheng is absolutely sure of winning the gold medal.

It is one thing to fight for a medal internally, but it is another thing to be snatched away by outsiders. Therefore, the young couple's guns were decisive and unanimous, and they used [-]% of their hearts to prepare for this competition.

During the warm-up interval, Yuan Zheng supported the waterline and said to You Le: "Your weakness is in backstroke, have you thought about how to solve it?"

You Le frowned, raised his hands flat in the water, palms down, and staggered back and forth to simulate kicking movements: "See? The thighs of freestyle and butterfly stroke both move forward, but the backstroke is reversed... ..." Saying that, You Le turned his palms over, "The force will move forward."

Yuan Zheng raised his eyebrows and nodded. This is the most superficial swimming knowledge, of course he knows it.

You Le sighed: "My backstroke performance is actually slower than half a year ago..."

Yuan Zheng was stunned, and suddenly realized: "It means that because of the special kicking method of freestyle, it will affect your backstroke?"

"Yeah." You Le nodded, "So I don't dare to swim 400 meters, only dare to swim 200 meters. In this way, only 50 meters in the backstroke is enough. The gap will not be too big, and I can catch up again. "

Yuan Zheng looked at You Le's hand still floating on the water, thought for a while, patted his shoulder and nodded: "I see, I will consider..."

Hearing this, You Le hurriedly said, "Don't think about my business, just take care of yourself, and I will figure out a way myself."

"Let's talk again." Yuan Zheng smiled slightly, and patted the top of You Yue's head.

"Really." You Le pulled his hand and said seriously, "This problem is not a day or two, I have to make adjustments in the usual training, now there is no rush to hold Buddha's feet, so don't think too much. "

"..." Yuan Zheng thought for a while, then nodded.

After the warm-up was over, You Le and Yuan Zheng changed into a pair of dry swimming trunks and rested in the rest area, waiting for the competition to officially start. In order to adjust his mood for the competition, You Le rarely put on headphones and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

He still wants to win a medal, even if the possibility of winning a gold medal is not high, he still wants to advance two or three places from No.5 in the preliminaries and enter the top three.

Perhaps, this persistence had something to do with the bet, but it was more because he didn't want to lose.

In a daze, his body was pushed, You Le opened his eyes, and saw Yuan Zheng holding a chocolate bar and handing it to his mouth.You Le opened his mouth and took a bite, the unique sweetness of chocolate spread in his mouth, he squinted his eyes in enjoyment, chewed and tasted slowly, the tangled mood was relieved a lot, and the pressure seemed to be a little less.

After eating in the mouth, the second half was also sent to the mouth in a timely manner.Yuan Zheng asked: "How is it?"

"It's average." You Le didn't want Yuan Zheng to worry, so he responded.

Yuan Zheng said: "Do you still remember the coach said yesterday that Wen Hao thinks more and does less? I don't think you should think too much now. If the backstroke is not good, you can use freestyle to get it back. You just need to swim better in freestyle. Just do it."

You Le narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then said "En", "That's the only way to go."

Yuan Zheng smiled with a sigh of relief, opened his palm, and slapped You Le on it. Yuan Zheng said, "Come on."

"come on!"

-

After a short rest, soon the finals will begin and the athletes will enter the arena.

You Le walked in the second place. After entering the arena, he stood in the seventh waterway. He adjusted his swimming goggles, moved his shoulders, and turned his head to look at Yuan Zheng who was separated by two waterways.Yuan Zheng smiled at him.

The soft female voice sang by name through the broadcast in the venue...

"The first course, Thailand, Nudaponggeding."

……

"Fourth way, Japan, Gao Sangjian."

"Fifth Way, China, Yuan Zheng."

"Sixth Road, Japan, Yuya Horihata."

"Seventh Road, China, Amusement."

"The eighth way..."

Japan is a strong swimming country. Before Australia was included in the Asian territory, Japanese swimming can be regarded as the number one in Asia, especially men's swimming, which has always been in the leading position in Asia.

Today, the men's 200 individual medley can almost be said to be a contest between the Japanese and Chinese teams.

Yu Horihata of the sixth lane also glanced left and right at Yuan Zheng and You Yue when he was arranging his swimming goggles, and finally focused on Yuan Zheng.

Yuan Zheng and You Le have gradually gained fame in the swimming world this year, but after all, the time is too short. In the hearts of most foreign players, they still only have a certain degree of competitiveness, not the ability to win gold.

Before the game, the Japanese team analyzed You Le and Yuan Zheng:

Recreational freestyle is amazing. It can be said that it is a genius that has rarely appeared in decades. It may even open up a new field of freestyle. But after all, it is only freestyle. It is mediocre in other strokes. It is rechargeable.

On the contrary, Yuan Zheng, the main butterfly stroke is not amazing, but it can be seen from the 400-meter individual medley that his strength is very average, and he has the strength to enter the finals of international competitions in every event. In other words, the comprehensive strength ranking is probably within ten.

Therefore, in this final, the only person they should pay attention to and hold on to is Yuan Zheng.

You Le twisted his shoulders, glanced at Horihata Yuya indifferently, did not miss the contemptuous gaze before, and sneered secretly, feeling very upset.

Ignore your grandpa, right? ?

Wait until Grandpa swims so violently that he scares you to death! !

With a glance, seeing Yuan Zheng looking this way, You Le raised his eyebrows and said silently: What are you looking at me for?Concentrate on your own swimming!

Yuan Zheng nodded, and actually understood it.

Today's chief referee is Zhou Ming. Wearing a neat suit, he stood up from the referee's seat and walked to the starting line. He blew the whistle hanging around his neck...

"Dudu..."

On your marks.

You Le took a deep breath and stepped onto the starting platform.

CCTV-5 broadcasted the game of the project live, and the anchor was talking with the special guests while waiting.

The anchor asked: "Xu Han, in your opinion, how sure is our country of winning the gold in this event?"

"Half." Xu Han was wearing a loose blue and white sportswear, sitting in front of the TV with his legs crossed, and said, looking directly at the camera, "The two contestants in our country are trying this event for the first time, so we haven't had one yet. More accurate and stable values, but one thing is very important, these two teenagers have already reached the international level in terms of individual main items, and have become the leading figures of the Chinese men's swimming team."

The anchor asked: "Is medley swimming difficult? You won a silver medal in this event at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Can you tell me about your skills?"

Xu Han said: "Swimming does not have too many skills. The competition will fully reflect the usual training situation. If I have to say it, it is in terms of physical strength retention, or I will make different strategies."

"Then you see, what strategy will the two players of our country make?"

"Obviously, Yuan Zheng, who is good at butterfly swimming, will definitely seize the opportunity to gain an advantage when entering the water..."

"beep!"

At this time, a whistle sounded in the field, the starting gun sounded, and the game began!

Players enter the water at the same time!

Both You Le and Yuan Zheng's reaction time was very fast. According to the statistics after the event, they only took 0.03 seconds to react from the firing of the starting gun to the time when both feet left the platform. Hata Yu is also 0.05 seconds.

Although the instrument has made statistics, there is no difference when looking at it with the naked eye. They entered the water at the same time, and kicked their legs underwater four times at the same time, and then sprang out with a "crash". In the tense competition!

Wudao's Yuan Zheng deserves to be the leader of Chinese butterfly stroke. His ability to catch up with Lochte in the US National Championships and Pan Pacific Championships at the beginning of this year is not hidden!With just two swings of the arms, more people came out and became the leader!

really.Yuan Zheng is not as amazing as You You's freestyle, but that is just the depth of people's impressions, and it does not mean that this person is not good.Yuan Zheng's usual low-key behavior made people's impression of him vague, and the media didn't like to report on him because of the difficulty of interviewing, but in fact his strength lies in his strength!No one can take it away!

The CCTV anchor exclaimed: "Sure enough, it worked hard from the beginning!"

Xu Han gave a "hmm".

The CCTV anchor waited for two seconds and began to broadcast quickly: "Friends of the audience, you are now watching the final scene of the men's 200-meter medley in the Guangzhou Asian Games."

"Our country's contestants participating in this event are Yuan Zheng from Wudao and Youyou from Qidao."

……

"Yuan Zheng is swimming at the forefront on the screen! Audience friends, audience friends, we can see the outstanding ability of our young player Yuan Zheng in butterfly stroke. He is constantly widening the gap with the fourth lane."

"The fourth track is Japanese player Kosang Ken. He won the silver medal in this event in the last Doha Asian Games, No.5 in the World Championships."

"We can see that Kosang Ken is not very good in the butterfly stroke. He is only ranked third now, losing to his teammate Horihata Yuya."

"No.4 is our country's 16-year-old young player, You Le. Although he is slightly behind, he is still catching up, and he will definitely perform outstandingly in the next events."

"Yuan Zheng is still No.1, the butterfly stroke is about to end... touch the wall! Well, at 24 seconds, Yuan Zheng showed his excellent ability in butterfly stroke!"

"Turn around, backstroke!"

……

"You Yue scored 26 seconds, the fourth place to the side."

……

"Backstroke, now entering the backstroke stage, Xu Han, what do you think of this stage?"

Xu Han said: "The one who stands out in this event is Japan's Kosang Ken, who won the bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke at the World Championships."

"You mean, what Yuan Zheng has to do now is to maintain his advantage?"

"Yes."

……

The competition in the arena was fierce, and the water was splashing everywhere. The Chinese audience waved red flags and cheered!

You Le stared at the lights above his head, water splashed in front of his eyes, and his vision was turbulent.He is really at a disadvantage in backstroke, or in other words, except for freestyle, he lacks a good result in the other three events, not good, not bad!

In a daze, he also seemed to understand why his uncle insisted on letting him participate in the medley competition. He must have hoped to make him realize his shortcomings and not become overly proud of his excellent freestyle results.

……

Yuan Zheng panted heavily, and spit out steam in the scalding breath. He fixed his gaze on a streak on the ceiling above his head, and concentrated on it.

When he swims, he rarely thinks, and focuses more on his movements.Backstroke is not his strong point, or rather, it is somewhat difficult for someone who is used to swimming head-on.

However, that is only relative.

For those who can swim medley, no matter how bad the individual strokes are, they will not be much worse.

He is so, so amusing, too.

……

Gao Sangjian exerted his strength in the later stage and began to catch up, and the gap with Yuan Zheng was slowly narrowing...

On the field and in the swimming pool, the water was rippling, and the competition was in full swing.

The anchor of CCTV seized the opportunity to introduce: "Yuan Zheng and You Le are young players in our country. They have achieved very good results in the first three days of competition. You Le is the gold medalist of 200 free and 50 free. Two gold medals in the butterfly and a bronze medal in the men's 400m individual medley on the first day of the Asian Games."

"At this year's National Championships, Yuan Zheng won the gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly, surpassing the famous American player Lochte."

"You Le participated in the Pan Pacific competition held in the United States this year and won the silver medal in the 50-meter freestyle, only [-] seconds slower than the French star Frederick."

"And, in the relay race participated by the two of them, they won the first gold medal for our country's men's relay..."

……

"Backstroke to the edge!"

"Yuan Zheng is still leading, but the gap with Gao Sangjian has narrowed a lot. Gao Sangjian swam 50 seconds in the 28-meter backstroke! It is his best result so far! It seems that Yuan Zheng brought him a lot pressure!"

"Turn around, breaststroke!"

……

"Audience friends, now the men's 200m individual medley has entered the breaststroke segment!"

"Will Yuan Zheng be able to maintain his advantage?"

"Or is it Japanese player Takasang Takeshi who came from behind?"

"The competition was fierce, and the two were almost evenly matched in this segment."

"Yu Horihata of the sixth track is also very good. The gap between him and Yuan Zheng is not that big. From the current point of view, he will be the third runner-up."

"but!"

"Behind him is playing with our country's young general!"

"As the 'Flying Fish' of our country, the swimmer with the fastest speed, I am very much looking forward to the next freestyle session!"

……

Xu Han suddenly said, "You Le has a nickname abroad, 'China Tour'."

"?" The host of CCTV got stuck.

Xu Han added in a deep voice: "It is an honor for foreigners to give the title of 'China Tour' to the kicking method that no one has been able to imitate so far."

"Yes... yes, yes, yes! Let's look forward to You Le's performance in freestyle!"

Breaststroke is the stroke that Japanese player Horihata Hiroya is best at, but after all, Yuan Zheng and his teammate Gao Sangjian opened up a considerable gap before. Even though he was catching up in this segment, the distance of 50 meters was too short, and the effect Still limited.

No.1 Gao Sangjian is here!The score is 33 seconds 03!

But Yuan Zheng was 0.12 slower and reached the side later.

The gap between the two people was only 0.03 seconds!

……

Subsequently, Yu Horihata of Japan also reached the edge 0.96 seconds slower than Yuan Zheng. Although he recovered a considerable gap in the breaststroke, it was difficult to change the current situation.Moreover, what worried the Japanese audience was that You Yue was only 0.2 seconds slower than him!

Next, it's time for fun!

……

When the breaststroke reached the side and turned around, You Le took a deep breath, buried his head in the water, pressed his palm against the wall, and kicked his feet out...

At that moment, time seemed to be dialed back a hundred times. He saw tiny air bubbles colliding and floating in front of his eyes, and saw his opponents sneaking under the water, kicking their legs alternately.

Gululu... the sound of exhaling...

His eyes passed through the gap between Horihata Yuya's arms, and he seemed to see Yuan Zheng wrapped in silver bubbles...

"It's half a body faster than me..."

……

"Crash!" Breaking out of the water!

You Yue seems to have returned to the present world from a different space in an instant!

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" The loud shouts of cheering were deafening.

"Shua, Shua, Shua!" It was the sound of water splashing.

……

You Le stretched out his hand to the extreme, then bent his wrist slightly, hugged it into his arms, pushed it again, and his body suddenly jumped forward!

Bubbles bubbling up behind him like thick soup on a small fire!

"China Tour" is here!

Xu Han, who has always been reticent, suddenly said at this moment: "Did you see? The way he was underwater when he started freestyle was different from other people."

The CCTV anchor hurriedly answered: "Yes, the other swimmers are kicking in butterfly stroke underwater, but he is kicking in freestyle."

Xu Han nodded, but stopped talking.

The CCTV anchor waited for two seconds, then said bitterly: "Generally speaking, the butterfly kick is faster underwater, but the fun freestyle kick helped him gain more time."

"When he came out of the water, he had already caught up with the Japanese player Yuya Horihata by virtue of his pure leg movements!" Free Discussion World of Global Chinese "Soon! Really fast! This time I can see clearly, with other players People have different kicking methods, which makes him have a fundamental gap in freestyle!"

"He surpassed Horihata Yuya! Who else can he surpass next? Is it Gao Sangjian, or his teammate Yuan Zheng?"

……

"The competition for the championship is very fierce. Gao Sangjian and Yuan Zheng have entered into a fierce competition at this stage!"

"There are still 20 meters, I can't see who is ahead."

"Is it Yuan Zheng?"

"Or Gao Sangjian?"

"It seems that Gao Sangjian is a little ahead?"

"No, no, it should be Yuan Zheng. They are all sprinting, and their rankings change at any time!"

"Too intense! Too intense!"

……

Xu Han said faintly: "You Le has caught up."

"Eh!?" The CCTV anchor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised the volume and exclaimed, "The ranking may have changed! My God! You Le has really caught up! When a young player from our country was one second behind, he actually relied on the last The freestyle part is catching up!"

"Who will win in the end?"

"Is it the young generals of our country?"

"Or Japanese veteran Gao Sangjian?"

"10 meters! The last 10 meters!"

"I saw them speeding up! They were all speeding up! Faster and faster! Faster and faster! It seemed like they were flying!"

"Come on! Come on Chinese team! Come on!"

……

"come on!"

"Come on Chinese team!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

"Come on, have fun!!!"

……

"Shhhhh..."

three meters.

two meters.

one meter.

to the side!

The three of them arrived almost at the same time! !

You Le grabbed the lever under the starting platform and looked up at the big screen.

No.1, China, Yuan Zheng, 1:58:31

No.2, China, Amusement, 1:58:38

No.3, Japan, Gao Sangjian, 1:58:39

A gap of 0.01 that is almost like rape...

"a ha ha ha!"

You Le flicked his swimming goggles and laughed wildly!
