[Competition] Strive for the top

The next day, the competition started at 09:30 in the morning London time. The first event was the preliminaries of the 400-meter individual medley that Yuan Zheng will participate in.Seeing Yuan Zheng warming up in the warm-up pool, You Le felt that he was going to have a heart attack, and always wondered if Yuan Zheng's shoulder would hurt?Can you hold on to the next game?I was in a trance and couldn't concentrate all the time.

After Yuan Zheng came back from swimming a 100-meter butterfly, he pressed hard on his front waist and sank into the water. After diving in the water for two seconds, he jumped out of the water with a "crash", just in time to meet You Le's dazed gaze.Seeing You Le's obviously out of state expression, Yuan Zheng frowned for a moment, and really began to regret that he had kept this matter from You Le, maybe as You Le said, tell him earlier so that he can have earlier mental preparations.

How to do?

When Yuan Zheng swam out again, he thought calmly, thought about a lot of things, wanted to persuade You Le, but in the end he was rejected by himself, he understood, put himself in his shoes, any words at this time lost at least half of their effectiveness , it is absolutely impossible to dispel the uneasiness in You Le's heart, but how can he compete in such a state?

Finally, when he saw Lochte who was warming up after two waterways, a decision was formed in his heart...

After the warm-up was over, Yuan Zheng drove You Le away and stayed in the locker room to adjust his state.

He sat on the seat, clasped his hands tightly between his eyebrows, muttered words, tried hard to concentrate his attention, and prepared for the battle without distraction.

At 09:30, the men's 400m individual medley preliminaries started on time!

A total of 37 contestants participated in this event and were divided into four groups. According to the best results in the past four years, Yuan Zheng was in the fourth channel of the first group.

He walked onto the stage silently, adjusted his swimming cap and goggles, and moved his shoulders. The pain in his right shoulder has adapted, and now it is very hot, as if it is about to burn. It seems that he will receive a sealing injection in the final It's a must.

The preliminaries of the swimming competition were basically deserted. The teammates and audience in the stands stopped shouting after applauding, which was much quieter than the final competition.

"Beep." Take your place.

Yuan Zheng stepped on the starting platform, turned his neck, bent down, and pinched the edge of the platform with his fingers. A sharp line was drawn from the corners of his pursed mouth, and his eyes behind the goggles were narrowed dangerously, revealing a A sense of going all out.

"Beep!" Ready.

The body is pulled back, stretched into the shape of a full bow, and the bowstring is tightly stretched, waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

"beep!"

set off!

"Whoa!"

Yuan Zheng jumped out first, standing in mid-air like a sharp sword, cutting off everything, breaking through everything, and piercing sharply into the water!After four consecutive butterfly strokes and kicks, when he jumped out of the water, when the white waves rolled up, he seemed to have grown wings behind him, soaring lightly on the water surface, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a beast again. Hunting generally rushes forward.

Once in the water, Yuan Zheng used all his strength!

Butterfly is his main event, especially as the world record holder of the 100-meter butterfly. But they knew better that compared to veterans like them, the young Yuan Zheng was more capable of keeping the "crown"!

In the swimming pool, the white waves rolled up and down one after another, Yuan Zheng had no reservations, and he used all his strength when he got into the water, fighting for his own endurance!

"Huh, huh, huh——" again and again, the unique rhythm of butterfly stroke played in his ears, Yuan Zheng told himself, let's fight, for yourself, for fun, let's fight!

The first stroke, butterfly stroke 50 meters to the side, scored 24 seconds 56!

Turning around and going out, Yuan Zheng has pulled away from No.2 by nearly one body!

This speed shows that he has even swam 400 meters as 100 meters!It's an all-out, unreserved way of swimming!

100米到边，成绩26秒10！总用时50秒66！这个成绩已经有冲击100米蝶泳金牌的实力，无限接近他去年在上海世锦赛上创下的49秒80的最好成绩！

You Mingjie and Zhou Ming frowned as they watched the time on the big screen.

Swimming at such a speed from the very beginning, and it is still the preliminaries, can the body bear it?Can I still swim the next 300 meters?

Zhou Ming frowned and asked, "What the hell is Yuan Zheng doing?"

You Mingjie's head was running fast, and he found an excuse to explain: "His endurance is better than any player in our team. This may be dangerous, but it is also easy to get better results. It's just the preliminaries. Try it." Let's go!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Ming growled sullenly, "Try it in a competition!? Who gave you that power!?"

You Mingjie laughed along with him, apologizing repeatedly.

Zhou Ming suppressed his anger, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yuan Zheng and You Le have been in various situations these days, and they must be adjusted as soon as possible, do you hear me?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

At this time, the second stroke in the pool, the 100-meter backstroke, is coming to an end.

Compared with the terrifying outburst of butterfly stroke, Yuan Zheng's backstroke was quite satisfactory, especially in the first 50 meters because of excessive physical exertion caused by excessive butterfly stroke, he only swam 32 seconds, and although the last 67 meters was slightly With adjustments, I still only swam 50 seconds.

The total time of the game is 1:54, still in the first place, and because of his outstanding performance in the butterfly stroke at the beginning, he is one and a half faster than No.51, and he stands alone in the swimming pool. At a glance, people can find that his strength is indeed far superior to the rest of the players, and he has the strength to win gold!

During the backstroke, Yuan Zheng confirmed that his heartbeat had recovered slightly. At the beginning, the excessive force of the butterfly stroke made his heart swell and hurt like it was going to explode, and he felt like he was about to die.Of course, it was this familiar feeling of suffocation and fatigue that completely covered up the pain in his shoulders and made him feel that he was in good shape!

Yes, in fact, in his opinion, the shoulder injury is nothing, maybe it hurts during training, but during the game, such pain can't stop him from swinging his arm!

This is the feeling of competition, let him sway even the last bit of heat without reservation, the feeling of doing his best makes him like it more than ever, just like a moth, even if it breaks its wings, it will rush to the light !

Such a desperate, swimming in this way, he just wanted to tell You Le that way, hope he doesn't worry, tell him that he enjoys it, and tell the whole world that no one can stop him!

Yuan Zheng shrugged his shoulders, raised his hips, took a deep breath, and at the same time kicked his legs backwards, he clasped his palms together and stabbed forward, and then separated the two sides to hold the water, and his body jumped a lot forward!

The third stroke, the 100-meter breaststroke...

In the swimming pool, it was clear at a glance that Yuan Zheng had already swam the breaststroke, No.2 just went to the side and changed his stroke, and when he swam 10 meters, most of the competitors in the same group were still competing in the backstroke!

So far, everyone is admiring that Yuan Zheng's 400-meter individual medley swim is amazing!

Yuan Zheng's comprehensive abilities are very strong, and breaststroke is by no means his weakness, and breaststroke and butterfly stroke, which are very particular about arm strength, have the same effect.So after Yuan Zheng survived the most difficult moment of the 100-meter backstroke, his advantage has undoubtedly been retained!

The No.2 player breaststroke seems to be his weak point, or the previous physical exertion caused him to be stretched half a body away by Yuan Zheng again in this session.

Breaststroke 50 meters to the edge, 34 seconds 18!

In the place of the Chinese team, someone shouted loudly. Although it was not the final match, the competition with the Chinese players thriving made the Chinese enjoy watching it too!

You Le's face flushed red!The haze that had been hovering in his heart dissipated in such a situation, and he couldn't be more excited!So far, Yuan Zheng's total score is infinitely close to Phelps' world record. As long as the freestyle swims well, a new world record may be born!

All the eyes in the arena were on Yuan Zheng. If he broke the world record in the preliminaries, then this would be a very beautiful game worth watching!

In the passage of the dressing room, Lochte and Phelps folded their arms, frowning and looking at the TV hanging in the corner, their expressions were not very good.

At the end of the breaststroke competition, Yuan Zheng pulled away from No.2 by two body lengths, and started the final freestyle impact event!

This is the last critical moment when we must do our best to break out!

The loss of physical strength was indeed serious. Even though he recovered a little bit during the backstroke and breaststroke stages, Yuan Zheng still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. This kind of pain activated his body's emergency measures, and a large number of platelets carrying oxygen were produced. , quickly swam through the blood vessels of his body, but still lacked enough oxygen, and the fatigue spread all over his body, making it extremely difficult for him to swing his arms.

The last 100 meters.

Yuan Zheng told himself that there is only the last 100 meters left, since he has already fought hard, don't fall down at the last moment!Be sure to swim out your best results!

Yuan Zheng used the two strokes and one suction freestyle style to impact, like a swordfish, he took the lead in breaking through the water waves in the swimming pool, and cut out a beautiful "V"-shaped trace. It is completely different from the game, full of powerful freestyle style It's exciting to watch!

At this moment, it seems that the other players have become decorations...

The 50-meter freestyle is completed and enters the final 50-meter stage.

Someone in the hall cheered, and the hosts also cheered for Yuan Zheng!

Yuan Zheng breathed heavily, the pain in his body made his face turn grim, but his speed didn't decrease at all, instead he swam faster and faster, making the final sprint!

25 meters left!

Persistence, persistence is victory!

The last 10 meters!

Yuan Zheng felt that his muscles were trembling, and the epidermis of his skin seemed to be burning!

The last 5 meters!

Yuan Zheng gritted his teeth, gave up breathing, held his breath and lowered his head, waving his arms neatly, four times in succession, to the side!

The beating numbers on the big screen stopped, the color turned green, and an English letter of TOP appeared.

4 minutes 03 seconds 80!

Yuan Zheng broke the world record of 08:4 set by Phelps in the 03 Beijing Olympics in the preliminaries!

Phelps frowned, and his face became ugly.

The hall was quiet for a few seconds, and then all eyes were on the man who was taking off his swimming goggles and taking a deep breath.

"Clap clap-"

Someone applauded first, then more people applauded, and finally the audience applauded thunderously.

Yuan Zheng raised the hand holding the swimming goggles, and clenched his fist in the direction of You Yue.

Lele, this is a gift from me, next, let me see your performance!
