[Competition] Strive for the top

"Know you?" You Le asked.

You Mingjie smiled happily: "Why don't you know each other? We are in the same class as me, and both retired after the 04 Athens Olympics."

"You used to be an athlete too? You also participated in the Olympic Games? That's right...tsk tsk, this head, this body...that's what it means!" Uncle Han looked at You Mingjie in amazement.The old man is a typical common people's way of thinking, thinking that being able to participate in the Olympics will be a big deal, but he forgot to change his mind. It is not uncommon for this world to catch a handful of Olympians.

You Mingjie laughed and scratched the back of his head: "I participated, but I didn't have any good results. I was the overlord of the Wannian preliminaries, but I just said that the kid has some good results. He won one gold and one silver in the World Championships, which is very good." gone."

"What about the Olympics?" Uncle Han asked eagerly, not understanding the situation.

"... Sigh." You Mingjie sighed, "It's been almost eight years since the two Olympic Games. The Chinese men's team is in very bad condition. If we come again, we can only watch Yuan Zheng and the others."

"Oh." Uncle Han nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

The conversation came to an end, and the atmosphere sank in an instant, and no one could continue.

After a while, Uncle Han patted You Mingjie on the shoulder and asked, "I still remember the Olympic Games in the millennium. We men also won the gold medal, right? There's still 96...it seems to be there too."

You Mingjie grinned and nodded, "You have a really good memory. It's true. That's the golden generation of Chinese men's swimming. Every time a game is played, the coach dares to pat his chest to ensure that the men's team will have at least four gold medals. Team, every time they go abroad to play, they can bring back seven or eight gold bumps. At that time, not to mention the coaches, only us small players have very straight backs. When we play, we look like Australia just now. There were applause, what a sight!"

When talking about these things, You Mingjie couldn't stop talking. This is the deepest memory of his youth. Accompanied by sweat and pride, following behind those big brothers to show off his might, it is an experience worthy of praise in his life .

You Le rolled his eyes when he heard it, but he didn't realize earlier that when he and Wen Hao were drinking with his uncle in the past six months, the uncle liked to babble these words over and over again when he drank too much.Although Wen Hao is the big brother in the team today, he still hasn't caught the tail of the grand occasion, so he can only listen to his uncle talking about wine. He has heard the name Ye Shuwen before, but the "first brother" Yao Ye at that time was the most popular... ...The nickname "The Beloved of Water" is so damn cold!Brother Xiaozheng didn't even dare to say that he was Shui's pet or something!

Of course, from another perspective, this nickname was bestowed by foreigners in that era, which shows its strength. No wonder it has become the golden generation of Chinese men's swimming.

The uncle was still flirting with Uncle Han, You Le gave Yuan Zheng a look, and the two of them leaned back in their chairs at the same time, whispering.

You Le said: Did you hear my uncle's nervous tone?

Yuan Zheng nodded: I heard it.

You Le said: In my opinion, you are not bad at all!Now add me, we are also the whole "golden new generation", right?

Yuan Zheng saw that You Le was eager to try, so he nodded cooperatively, thought for a while, put his hand on You Le's shoulder and smiled, "I'm fine, it's up to you."

"Me?" You Le rolled his eyes nervously, "Just wait and see!"

"Small!" Yuan Zheng touched You Yue's cheek, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker again.

The two chatted in whispers, and pink bubbles with an ambiguous atmosphere popped up, but there were a bunch of "blind" people around the question, who kept hypnotizing themselves, don't look, they don't know anything, they can't see anything...

The antenna on the back of You Mingjie was raised, and he was distracted frequently chatting with Uncle Han. Finally, his heart flared up and he shouted: "Lele, go to Coach Zhou and see if he needs help?"

Yuan Zheng put his arm around You Le's shoulders away, and looked at You Le face to face, knowing in his heart what You Mingjie meant, thinking that they really should pay attention in front of people.

Even if it's an open secret, you can't let others tolerate it all the time, can you?

You Yue left, and Yuan Li sat next to Yuan Zheng, smiling at him inexplicably.

Yuan Zheng ignored his elder brother's eyes, calmly took out the tablet from his side, and turned it on.

Yuan Li saw that Yuan Zheng didn't want to talk, so he stopped talking, just watched him press the icon on the tablet, and said after a while: "It's good, it's rare to see you so close to someone. You have been there a few times, and these days are the happiest... when You Le is around."

"..." Yuan Zheng didn't speak, waiting for Yuan Li's next conclusion.

Sure enough, Yuan Li said: "You like to play?"

"Well, I like it." Yuan Zheng said indifferently, with that expression and eyes, it was difficult for people to tell which kind he liked.

Yuan Li thought for a while, then smiled indulgently: "If you like it, get in touch with it more, as long as you are happy."

Yuan Li has always been somewhat conniving towards his younger brother. With an 11-year-old gap, Yuan Zheng was still young and did not hold grudges when he was ignorant. When Yuan Zheng remembers things, he will grow up. It is precisely because of the age gap that he treats Yuan Zheng Very tolerant, even doting on this younger brother.So he didn't want to ask which kind he likes. As the competition was approaching, he didn't want to put any pressure on Yuan Zheng. Yuan Zheng and You Le... whatever.

As for Yuan Zheng's way of treating You Le, it might be said that he imitated his elder brother somewhat.

The game started in the morning, and they watched the game until ten o'clock. When the sun rose and the sun was hot, they all returned to the hotel after feeling a little unwell.

Before You Le left, he apologized to Uncle Han, saying that he had not fulfilled Chen's promise and had not been with anyone.

Uncle Han naturally explained it in reverse, telling him not to mind, the most important thing is to maintain his own game state, don't even think about it being useless at this critical moment, winning a gold medal is better than anything else.

But You Le and the others left, but You Mingjie stayed behind, planning to go home with Uncle Han at noon, to visit old friends, and come back with the car in the afternoon, anyway, the journey is only a few 10 minutes... It's a pity that I didn't see anyone, it is said that he returned to China recently No, You Mingjie can only ask Uncle Han's son to help him get a contact information.

The next day, the amusement game officially started.Unlike usual, he made meticulous arrangements from the day before the game.

Do half an hour of exercise before going to bed at 22 o'clock in the evening, subject to slight sweating, and go to bed after washing up.

In the morning, the mobile phone alarm is postponed until 7:30, and try to sleep more for a while to ensure sufficient sleep for the next day's high-intensity competition.

After a high-calorie breakfast, set off by car.

In this car, there are a total of eleven contestants, almost everyone has a race today, and when they look at each other, they can see a bit of tension and the awareness of going all out from the bottom of each other's eyes.

You Le withdrew his gaze and looked out of the car, tore open the packaging bag of the chocolate bar handed over by Yuan Zheng, took a bite of most of it, chewed it seven or eight times, and swallowed it whole.

"Everyone..." You Mingjie knelt down on the seat in the front row, clapped his palms to attract attention, and said, "Everyone is an old player, and everyone has their own habits in the level of psychological adjustment, so I don't have many Having said that, the warm-up time is mainly arranged here. Except for Tan Wen, Qianqian, and Ding Lihui, everyone else will go into the water when they arrive at the venue. The 10x50m decomposition movement, the 8x50m intensity, and the interval between pauses are controlled by yourself. Liu Lang and you guys try to swim for 45 minutes for the short distance, and Luo Ming and you guys for the middle distance for 30 minutes, do you understand?"

"clear."

You Mingjie nodded and sat back amidst the sparse responses.In fact, the warm-up preparation before the game does not need to be explained in detail. It is just a routine. When the players are training, the coach will make the most suitable arrangements according to their age, physiology, psychology, function, nerves, physical fitness, skills, tactical ability, and environment. , so his eyes were mainly on You Le, Yuan Zheng and Luo Ming.

When we arrived at the arena, there were fewer spectators today. Everyone was looking forward to the finals in the afternoon and the final relay race tomorrow, so most of the people who came to the arena in the morning were real swimming enthusiasts.

You Le called Uncle Han, and after confirming that he would arrive soon, he handed over the task of reception to his uncle. He changed into his swimming trunks and went into the water to warm up.

Today is a very critical moment, his first international competition, and there is no room for distraction, so after swimming the first 50-meter decomposition in the water, all the messy thoughts in his head were thrown away.

Halfway through, Abel went into the water in the next lane and wanted to strike up a conversation, but he changed You Le's indifferent attitude or even ignored him, so he touched his nose with a smile, and swam out helplessly.

After 45 minutes of warm-up, the amusement was meticulous and accurate, and the water was started on time. After changing into a pair of dry swimming trunks, I took my mobile phone to the rest area.

During this process, he didn't greet anyone, not even Yuan Zheng.

At first, Yuan Zheng thought he was too involved, so he followed silently, but when he got to the rest area, after You Le closed his eyes and lay down, Yuan Zheng realized that he had been completely forgotten.

"Is he preparing for the game like this in the team?" Yuan Zheng asked sitting next to Liu Lang.

Liu Lang was also preparing for the game. He didn't want to answer at first, but he hesitated and said, "There is no game in the team."

"What about the usual training?"

"..." Liu Lang thought for a while and said, "Occasionally Wen Hao is with me, but most of the time I prepare by myself."

Yuan Zheng was silent, his eyes darkened.

Liu Lang looked at him, hesitated to speak, finally closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat, and said softly, "The competition is about to begin."

Yeah...the game is coming soon.

Yuan Zheng's eyes flickered, and he let out a foul breath secretly, got up and left the lounge, looked for an open space to continue warming up on land, and after confirming that his body was slightly warm, he found a corner, leaned his forehead against the wall, He muttered to himself: "Indeed, the game is the most important thing now. You must concentrate quickly and don't be affected by the entertainment. Those things he experienced have already happened and cannot be changed, so don't be in a hurry. Have a good time these two days." After the competition, you can worry about whatever you want, and...Yuan Zheng, your competition is ahead of the game, if you don’t perform well, it will even affect the performance of the game, you must concentrate, concentrate..."

Such self-suggestion, Yuan Zheng recalled the steps of the competition, recalled the successful and perfect competitions so far, from the preparation before the competition to every posture and movement during the competition, recalled the complete picture of the competition, and mobilized his emotions... …

At 38:50 in the morning, Yuan Zheng went into the water for the preliminaries of the [-]-meter butterfly. You Le did not follow up with him as before, but continued to close his eyes and meditate.

At 39:22, Yuan Zheng got into the water from the side of the swimming pool with steaming heat, and secured his ticket to the final with a time of 96 seconds, the first in the group. Looking at all the six games of this event, he The results can enter the top three, perfectly displaying their true level.

Zhou Ming, You Mingjie and others were very satisfied with this. Compared with half a year ago, Yuan Zheng's performance had indeed improved. Recalling the rumors back then, especially Zhou Ming, was very grateful that he made such an arrangement decisively.

The ethos in the team cannot be changed, and Yuan Zheng cannot be put too much pressure, as long as he can achieve results, he can say anything.

"Is the time almost up?" Zhou Ming looked at the schedule, turned his wrist to look at the time, and signaled to You Mingjie.

You Mingjie let out a "huh", Yuan Zheng's 50-disc competition was over, and the women's contestants were finished, but in 15 minutes, it was time to play.

In the team, from top to bottom, everyone has high hopes for You Le.

Although You Le is still young, his ability is not weak at all. If he can perform stably, he will definitely be able to enter the finals, and it is not impossible to win a brand.

Moreover, in the preliminaries of the 50-meter freestyle, besides You Le, there was also Liu Lang. As the "first brother" in the team, Liu Lang felt a little suffocated when he was overwhelmed by You Le. Everyone was waiting for his explosion.

On the field, the first preliminaries of the women's 50-meter freestyle began. With the sound of the starting gun, You Le was called out by Liu Lang.

Liu Lang said, "I'm getting ready."

You Le looked at Liu Lang from the bottom up, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he nodded with starry eyes: "Okay."

Liu Lang looked at this small look, raised his hand and gave him a pat on the back of the forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't show your teeth and claws at me, your enemy is not me."

You Le licked the corners of his lips and smiled. After getting up, he put on the earphones again, twisted his neck and hips, and walked out of the lounge while slowly doing warm-up exercises.

In the corridor outside the house, the nearly three-meter-wide walkway was full of tall and stalwart foreign players. They all showed a bit of indifference to each other. Occasionally, their eyes were expressionless, and there was even a bit of hostility.

Indeed, on the field, they are enemies. Although they are not swords and swords, they are fighting with their lives!

You Le carried the bag and walked side by side with Liu Lang, walking through the crowd to the sign-in area, with their eyes slightly lowered and their minds focused. The two signed up and found a nearby place to warm up for a while.

You Le went into the water first and was in the second group, while Liu Lang was in the sixth group.Not being in the same group let the two of them really breathe a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long for the breath to be released, and the strings in their heads were tightened again... If there is no semi-final, then the elimination rate will be one of eight, and they will not get the group First, basically missed the finals.What's more, even if you get the first place in the group, you can't breathe a sigh of relief. It's still about the results. A strong group, maybe the top three can enter the finals.

You Le twisted his shoulders and squatted on the ground, stretching the tendons at his shoulders. He closed his eyes and recalled the steps of the game. He rehearsed each step a dozen times in his head, and the starting gun outside fired one after another, bursting his adrenal hormones. Cyclonus, faintly couldn't bear it anymore.

Feeling that his body was almost warm, You Le opened his eyes, and saw Yuan Zheng standing two meters away, slowly wiping the water droplets on his body with a blue towel, seeing him open his eyes, smiled, and then He looked at Abel on the opposite side with displeasure.

Abel was talking to his teammates, and his teammate was the famous French player Frederick.Bousquet is a world-class seed player in short-distance freestyle swimming. He won the silver medal in last year's World Championships, second only to Brazilian star Cielo. It can be said that the two of them are the most promising to win the "flying fish" after Phelps person with the title.

"Flying fish" is recognized in the circle as the title of the fastest short-distance freestyle swimmer. It does not belong to a certain person alone. It represents the fastest swimmer in the world, just like "torpedo" is the strongest title in short-distance butterfly stroke.Now Yuan Zheng is already on the "battlefield" of fighting for this title, and You Le is on this battlefield for the first time...

Abel's eyes met with You Le's, and he glanced at You Le, then looked at You Le and whispered to Frederick's ear, You Le clearly saw Frederick, who was listening to the whispers in his ear, looking at him from head to toe Looking at him carefully, the brows were raised frivolously, and the corners of the mouth were raised with a hint of sarcasm.

You Le's eyes darkened for less than a second, and he looked away, not wanting to delve into it, what did Abel say?He didn't want to know, what did Frederick think of him?He doesn't even want to know!

Don't be mediocre!Don't make a fuss about it!Don't haggle over every ounce and lose the big because of the small!

"Men's 50 meters will enter in one group!" The staff of the competition shouted in English at the door with a microphone. Liu Lang patted You Le and signaled him to get ready.

"Huh—" You Le let out a long breath, smiled at Yuan Zheng and nodded, and walked out. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Frederick also stand up, and his head flashed...

He deliberately walked in front of Frederick, with one hand on his hips, his waist and hips deliberately twisted a little bigger, he stepped on catwalks, walked seven or eight steps with his buttocks swinging, then stopped and stepped aside road.

The four eyes meet.

"..."

"..."

Frederick finished in second place in the first preliminaries group. After getting into the water, he gave You Le a hard look.

You Le grinned, grinning with bright teeth.

Come on!Young Master, I am still a layman!You hate me, I hate you!

The author has something to say: It seems that everyone still likes Ye Shuwen...

That being the case, then Ye Shuwen can be considered a role, and he will arrange something for him to do.

As for Mr. Yao... what he wants is the vigor of "Master is just a legend"!

Recall, Ye Shuwen is a bit similar to Ji Xiangming, a boss with a negative image, but he is very simple, he was fooled in a few moments, people in that era were also simple...

As the children's mother, I only have one memory of Ye Shuwen, which is a side story. This guy peeked at my brother to help Yao Xiaoye to have sex, and he can be regarded as a gay love...

Today, a girl dug her grave and dug out the reader’s message I replied in Swimming Team—“As a straight man, Wenwen’s first choice should be a woman, unless there is a man he doesn’t hate who treats him poorly.” Chase and hit."

So, this sentence may come true.

In fact, I don’t have a very specific impression of Wenwen now, because his setting is the same as Youyue’s, which belongs to the cultivation type. His personality keeps changing in the article, and he is not mature enough at the end. Wen is already 30 years old, as a mature man...is he a domineering one?Or is it soft and glutinous?Or a gentle and considerate uncle?
