Swimmer of Rebirth

Standing at the door of the locker room was a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body. He was a staff member of the competition. Holding a list in his hand, he was calling the names of the participating teams according to their tracks. It's settled.

Liu Yang stood in the middle of the line, which happened to be the fourth line.

Looking at the queues of people before and after, Liu Yang found that the arrogant little balloon in his body was gradually inflated. As a first-line athlete of the national team, this in itself is a source of pride, not to mention being able to enter this top-level group in China. Participating as a seed player, the baptism of eyes shot from all around made him feel a little excited.

Many times, Liu Yang would persuade himself to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, to take every step steadily and steadily, to be cautious in being a person and doing things, and to remember the saying "think twice before acting". For ambitious human beings, pride is a by-product of success. Although most people will repeatedly remind themselves that they are in danger, this does not mean that it does not exist.

At this moment, after Liu Yang struggled for so many years, this happy and annoying by-product finally appeared.

However, when Liu Yang turned his head to look at the three people standing beside him, these three people who were clearly standing high in the swimming pool but completely controlled themselves, Liu Yang suddenly found out, what pride did he have?He is not even No.1 in China, let alone in international swimming?There are still many mountains in front of him that need to be conquered, each one is so towering and precipitous, making it difficult for him to walk, how can he breathe a sigh of relief here?

Thinking of this, the restlessness in Liu Yang's heart calmed down, and his feet fell to the ground.

After entering the arena, four people from each team stood in front of the track, doing warm-up exercises and discussing in low voices, and the radio in the swimming pool began to report the players' track.

The arena is filled with the hum of whispered voices, with the occasional high-pitched whistle drawing the players' attention.

When the broadcast was called to the fourth track, Yao Ye turned around as the captain and waved his hand, then turned to Liu Yang and said, "Just swim as you do in individual competitions. It's no problem with your No. 1 result, don't worry. "

With Liu Yang's affirmative nod, Yao Ye looked at Wei Wen and Zhang Qiangli again, "This is not the first time we have cooperated, so don't put too much psychological burden on yourself, as usual, pay attention when handing over, Qiangli, Although I changed you to the third club temporarily, but you have practiced with us usually, so there should be no problem, right?"

Zhang Qiangli nodded with a smile, and patted Yao Ye's shoulder, "No problem."

"That's fine." Yao Ye raised his hand to hook Liu Yang and Wei Wen's shoulders, Wei Wen put his arms around Zhang Qiangli, and Zhang Qiangli's arms also wrapped around Liu Yang's shoulders. Liu Yang put his arms around Yao Ye instead, and the four hugged each other. into a circle.

Yao Ye glanced around sharply and shouted loudly, "Come on!"

The three of them shouted in unison, "Come on!"

Yao Ye said again, "Come on!"

The three of them said in unison again, "Come on!"

"come on, come on, come on!!"

"come on, come on, come on!!"

Liu Yang yelled loudly, the simple two words yelled out the anxiety in his heart, and yelled out with a fierce momentum, as if breaking the ceiling of the swimming pool, resounding through the sky!

The whistle sounded for everyone.

Liu Yang looked at everyone and nodded, forcefully.

Then he withdrew his hand, turned around and walked out, put down his swimming goggles to cover his eyes.

He walked very steadily, the water droplets on the floor stained the soles of his feet, and it was boiling hot, just like the blood boiling in his body at the moment.

For the first time, Liu Yang experienced the magic of slogans.

For the first time, Liu Yang discovered that he was not alone in the game, there were teammates and lovers by his side.

If he is wrong, his teammates and lovers will help him make up for it. His back is safe, because everyone is so reliable, so he wants to let himself be a bullet fired, and sprint forward without any worries.

Similarly, he must tell everyone, tell his teammates, please rest assured, I am also a reliable person.

Standing on the platform, Liu Yang resisted the urge to look back.

It is conceivable that Yao Ye's eyes must be full of expectations and encouragement, and he would not even see the hidden emotions in them by accident, so he thought, after he finished his journey, he would have perfect results. Accept Yao Ye's gaze calmly, and let him look directly at Yao Ye's progress with the same gaze.

Liu Yang bent down, touched the platform wall with his hands, moved his right foot back, and his body was ready to go.

The whistle for preparation sounded.

He tensed his muscles, filled his body with strength, took a deep breath, fresh oxygen hovered in his body, the surrounding became very quiet, the noisy noise in the arena disappeared without a trace, and his eyes looking at the pool were sharp. Like an arrow.

Bow, pulled to the extreme!

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out.

The bowstring is loose, and the sharp arrow shoots out.

Liu Yang ejected fiercely, and the whistling sound that filled his ears seemed to be singing with strings.

The moment he entered the water, the ice-cold liquid wrapped his skin, and Liu Yang's brain, which was flushed with blood, finally woke up.

The momentum is enough, and the rest is to move forward beyond ourselves.

His arm drew a perfect arc in the water. When he pushed it, his body was driven forward, and then his arm danced in the air, as if he had grown wings. The water drops were pieces of feathers, and he was in the water. flight.

Water is really a wonderful object.

It is filled with countless bubbles, and each bubble is full of buoyancy. It is necessary to understand it and get close to it so that these tiny bubbles can carry a body.

Through exercise, mastery of balance, and understanding of water properties, human beings constantly break through the limits of human beings and swim at the fastest speed in the swimming pools.

Liu Yang learned to understand the nature and sense of water three years ago.

After repeated efforts, he found the most perfect strength to carry his body forward.

The posture is correct, the muscle texture conveys the route of strength, and the strength of more parts of the body is reasonably used to speed up swimming.

This is what he realized when he participated in the World Youth Championship a year ago.

In this competition, he began to try to surpass himself, use his strength to lead his body forward in the water, and use his confidence to let him break through the waves.

Let yourself really grow up!

After Liu Yang entered the water, his movements were smooth and natural, and he was at the forefront of the field fiercely all the way.

In fact, it is not difficult for Liu Yang to face the players of the provincial team with his own ability. What is difficult is that he is at a loss when he cannot set a goal for himself, which will make his brain confused and the transmission of power slow and hesitant.

But the slogan before the game encouraged him and reminded him not to chase after others every time, stand up, believe in yourself, believe that youth is an undefeated ode, he can fall and get up, he can be confused and relieved, in fact What he needs to taste when he is reborn in this era is the feeling of moving forward freely in sweat, that is the blood of youth!

Yao Ye applauded at the finish line.

Wei Wen has already stood on the platform, ready to go.

Ye Shuwen waved his red and yellow team uniform in the stands, roaring at the top of his voice.

Liu Yang hit the shore, and Wei Wen roared out from above his head.

Yao Ye stood by the pool and stretched out his hand to him.

Liu Yang grabbed that palm, and the water droplets on his hand moistened Yao Ye's dry skin, and then the palm squeezed hard, and he jumped out of the water.

Yao Ye handed over the towel, with smiles in his eyes, and asked softly, "How is it?"

Liu Yang smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy, I don't know why, but this time the competition doesn't seem to have the same exhausting feeling as when I finished the competition before."

Yao Ye raised his finger to the big screen, and Liu Yang saw his score, "49.07, a bit worse than the 100-self final, are you disappointed?" Yao Ye asked.

"No." Liu Yang shook his head, "At least I know that when there is no target ahead, I can still walk steadily. This time I am just not used to the competition, and I will swim better next time."

Yao Ye smiled and pressed Liu Yang's head, then turned his head to watch Zhang Qiangli walk up the platform.

Wei Wen has already swam back, and the No.2 behind him is one body behind him.

"Qianli, come on, 1.5." Yao Ye said.

Zhang Qiangli said without looking back, "Three, I can't surpass you and help me."

Yao Ye grinned, revealing a row of neat teeth, and his crescent-like eyes shone with tiny gleams.

Liu Yang saw the eyes of the team members on the shore in the next swimming lane looking over, and the hidden anger in their eyes.

Liu Yang pushed Yao Ye, "Restrain yourself!"

Yao Ye looked puzzled, "He said it, why are you blaming me?"

At this time, Zhang Qiangli was already in the air, and entered the water in the blink of an eye, splashing white waves.

"You got your head up." Liu Yang raised his hand to hold Yao Ye in place, stepped forward and pulled Wei Wen up, and Wei Wen hugged Liu Yang's shoulder after getting up in the water, panting heavily, and looked up at the big screen.

National Team - Second Bat - Wei Wen - 49'23

After comparing Liu Yang's results, Wei Wen's face was a little disappointed, but he quickly smiled and raised his hand to pat Liu Yang, "No way, your head is so good, I basically have no motivation."

For Wei Wen's behavior under the beautiful steps he found for himself, Liu Yang naturally went up to flatter and support him, "The race without a goal is very difficult. At least I have an opponent to compare with in the first 50 meters. You are very happy." powerful."

Yao Ye was wiping the water stains on the diving platform with a towel. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Liu Yang, "The first shot is very important, so don't be modest. Wei Wen's performance is also very good now. He has also grown a lot.”

Being praised face to face, Wei Wen smiled very brightly, but his mouth was open, "Well, you've finished all the good things, so hurry up, brother Zhang is ready to turn around."

Yao Ye didn't say anything, turned around and threw the towel to Liu Yang, stepped on the platform, his expression became solemn and focused.

After that, no one spoke, and their eyes were fixed on Zhang Qiangli's approaching figure.

Yao Ye stood upright on the diving platform, stretched his neck and shoulders, and then bent down when Zhang Qiangli approached five meters.

Two referees came up to observe whether the handover of the two people violated the rules.

Liu Yang was a little thankful that he had taken off his swimming goggles.

Seen from the back, Yao Ye's figure is really great, with broad shoulders, wheat-colored skin wrapped in uniform muscle texture, and a beautiful waist and hips that are gathered all the way down. His legs are straight and full of strength. The whole person seems to be It shone with delicate luster, which was inexplicably beautiful, especially at the moment when Yao Ye bent down and was ready to go, Liu Yang seemed to see that the light was expanding continuously, completely enveloping Yao Ye in it.

Zhang Qiang hit the shore.

Yao Ye obliquely shot into the water.

When the water splashed, Liu Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that he seemed to have been holding his breath just now.

Wei Wen glanced at him inexplicably, walked to the pool and pulled Zhang Qiangli up.

Liu Yang had an impulse to ask Wei Wen if he had seen the light on Yao Ye just now, and then he suddenly realized that he was stupid, Yao Ye in his eyes was always different from others, and he believed that Yao Ye’s own in Yao Ye’s eyes Also unique.

Liu Yang, Wei Wen and Zhang Qiangli stood side by side on the bank watching Yao Ye's game. Compared with the tense atmosphere of other teams, their faces were more relaxed and indifferent. Facts have proved that although Zhang Qiangli did not pull the No.2 three Although Yao Ye is working hard, er, of course, there is still a little bit of uncertainty... But this does not prevent them from confirming the fact that they can get the No.1 medal.

However, the steady No.1 does not mean that they will not expect better results, because their starting point is different. Their future opponents are top athletes from various countries. They need to use this competition as a consideration, so everyone still tries their best. made his best efforts.

When Yao Ye hit the shore, Zhang Qiangli went to pull him. Liu Yang was looking up at the big screen. When he saw Yao Ye's results, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Qiangli Zhang - 49'22

Yao Ye—48'19

Although Yao Ye was only 100 seconds faster than the best time in the 0.06-speed self-finals, when everyone had regressed slightly, only Yao Ye used this game to improve himself again.

In this regard, Liu Yang once hammered Yao Ye's chest in the middle of the Olympic Games and made a comment, "Yao Ye, you are a terrible opponent. Every game will improve your performance, and your enemy Watching you grow up step by step, there must be a lot of pressure, but fortunately, you and I are on the same side. '

At that time, Yao Ye laughed openly, and said confidently, "Next game, enter 47 seconds."

At the end of the game, the national team Yao Ye and others won the 3X29.18m freestyle championship with a score of 4:100.

The Guangdong team, the team that entered the final with the first score in the preliminaries, won the runner-up with a score of 3:34.09.

The Shanghai team won the third place in 3:34.86.

Later, after Yao Ye led Xu Han, Huang Tao, and Wang Qiang to participate in the 4X100-meter medley competition and won No.1, the 1996 China Swimming Championships finally officially came to an end.

The national team returned home with a full load, and basically collected all the individual medals.

Team Leader Wang smiled triumphantly, and took out public funds to invite all the team members to have a big meal. I want to eat hot pot. Although it is white soup, hot pot is the most economical thing. More than 60 people ate about 3000 yuan, which can be regarded as saving a lot of money for the General Administration.

Naturally, as the biggest winners of this competition, Yao Ye and Zhang Jingyi were inevitably given a lot of alcohol. Zhang Jingyi was a cheerful person who never refused to drink, so he quickly poured himself on the table, hazy Smiling to see Yao Ye's embarrassment trying to avoid drinking, he would occasionally boo and shout a few words.

Someone got drunk and yelled, "Yao Ye, you and Jingyi, you and Jingyi seem to be a good match. You are not behind our backs, are you?"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The bosses at the coach's table took a few glances over there, probably thinking that Yao Ye's age has reached the time for a relationship, so they all turned their heads and continued drinking.

Ye Shuwen's eyes moved away from Yao Ye, swept across Zhang Jingyi, and finally stopped on Liu Yang's face. Seeing that Liu Yang was still eating with his head down, Ye Shuwen's face became extremely uncomfortable, and he finally couldn't help kicking him. Liu Yang kicked his calf.

Liu Yang raised his head and squinted at him, and said softly, "Eat yours."

Zhang Jingyi pointed at Yao Ye's nose and yelled, "To him? Not interested! The two of us have been soaking in the pool all day long, and the water smells like disinfectant. I'm not looking for abuse!"

Yao Ye touched his nose and nodded, with a helpless expression on his face, "Look, there's nothing I can do about others looking down on me."

The crowd laughed.

Yao Ye was really drunk when he went back at night. The only thing he was lucky about was that the drunk Yao Ye was very quiet. He was leaning on Liu Yang's shoulder to sleep when he was on the bus, but the hand that was leaning on him secretly was always on Liu Yang's. Drawing in the palm of the hand, sometimes it seems to be writing, and sometimes it seems to be touching.

Liu Yang's palms were sweating a lot, Yao Ye probably didn't like it very much, he grabbed Liu Yang's hand and rubbed it against the white cloth cover of the chair in displeasure, and then shook it back in satisfaction.

There are two hands hidden between the legs of the two people, the palms of the hands are touching, and the fingers are intertwined.

Liu Yang looked up at the night view of Chengdu outside the car window. Darkness and light intersected, interspersed with the colors of neon lights, and the sky was full of bright moon and few stars.

He looked down at Yao Ye's sleeping face, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, leaned his head on it, and closed his eyes.

Heart, very quiet.
