Swimmer of Rebirth

Guangdong is a good place. Liu Yang lived in this coastal province for 5 years in his last life. Although he has some bad memories, it still doesn't prevent him from liking it here.

As soon as they arrived at the competition venue in Dongguan, Guangdong, Luo Xinhua led the team to have a simple lunch, and then went to go through the formalities for the competition. The remaining coaches took the players to the guest house prepared for the participating teams.

Two people share a room. Liu Yang and Ye Shuwen live together. Along the way, I saw many athletes from other regions participating in the competition. The sluggishness, the rotten vegetable leaves beaten by the frost, it feels like it has lost a lot of momentum.

Guessing that everyone had the same idea, he lifted his back in an instant, squeezed out his eyes, and couldn't lose, and went up to the 5th floor with his head up and chest out.

After all, Ye Shuwen was a child, and he was always in high spirits. Liu Yang shared a room with him. One side was catching up on sleep, and the other side was lying on the window watching. He still had the idea that being alone is worse than being happy together, so he had to take Liu Yang with him. look.

As soon as Liu Yang turned around and covered his head with the pillow, he directly expressed his inner boredom with actions.

When he woke up, it was already several hours later. Ye Shuwen went to bed at some point, and he was lying on the bed with his legs wide open, with saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, sleeping soundly.

Liu Yang thought for a while, opened the door and walked out alone.

In order to facilitate management, the competition organization divided each floor of the hostel, and the rooms on the 5th floor were all allocated to the Sichuan Swimming Team. The corridor was quiet, and Liu Yang went downstairs all the way to call his parents to report that he was safe. .

Due to the large number of contestants, there are only 4-5 teams in the hostel where they live. Out of a sense of competition, they will not greet each other when they meet, and the younger faces will always have a curious and arrogant look.

Standing outside the phone booth, he made a long-distance call with a phone card. The mother over there naturally asked him warmly, and told him not to be nervous, and not to wander around and get lost. Liu Yang obediently agreed.

When I went back, I happened to meet Luo Xinhua gathering the coaches for a meeting. The door of the room was open, and Luo Xinhua sat at the place closest to the door, holding a cigarette in his hand and glanced at him.

Originally, Liu Yang planned to slip past, but when he saw that he was found, he could only bow slightly and say hello, Luo Xinhua nodded, hooked the two fingers holding the cigarette, Liu Yang nodded and bowed and passed .

"Why did you go?" Luo Xinhua asked him, and the discussions in the room stopped.

Being stared at by so many coaches, Liu Yang felt uncomfortable, but he had to reply respectfully: "Go downstairs and call home."

Probably appreciating Liu Yang's sensibleness, Luo Xinhua nodded, but said in his mouth, "Go out and talk about it next time."

"Ah."

"Also, go and wake up everyone and let them gather in the downstairs hall for dinner at 6 o'clock." Luo Xinhua waved his hand and let them go.

Liu Yang didn't dare to catch his breath, so he nodded and went out the door.

Knocking into several rooms along the way, most of the team members were sleeping, looking at him unfriendlyly with a pair of red eyes, Liu Yang sent the notice with a calm face.

When he knocked on the most blocked door, it was Yao Ye who opened it.

I probably didn't expect it to be because of Liu Yang. The moment I opened the door, I looked in good condition, my eyes were clear and bright, and there was a smile on the corner of my mouth, but when I saw it was Liu Yang, my whole body suddenly softened, and I lazily leaned forward. On the side of the door, eyes half closed, put his hands on his chest, and put on a posture of what you are doing.

Liu Yang was also used to the attitude of people like him, so he sent the notice with a blank expression.

Yao Ye nodded lazily.

After finishing business, Liu Yang began to look around the house, "Who do you live with?"

Seeing him like this, Yao Ye moved away in a good mood, shook his head, "Come in."

In fact, Liu Yang really wanted to go in for a sit-down, but unfortunately he was busy, so he could only shake his head regretfully and refuse.

Yao Ye didn't care, and rubbed Liu Yang's head, "I live alone, so come and play with me if you have nothing to do."

The next morning, I participated in the opening ceremony of the sports meeting, and walked around the sports field in a stupid line, and finally stopped on the lawn in the middle of the sports field to listen to the speeches of leaders from all walks of life.

The sun was hanging in the east, roasting on the scalp as if it was about to fry people, Liu Yang stood dozing off, and occasionally turned his head to look at everyone in this state, lazy, and felt at ease.

Because Yao Ye was not a participating athlete, he followed the coaching staff and sat in the auditorium. He looked up at the sun above his head and yawned. His eyes easily found Liu Yang who was in a daze in the team.

Liu Yang is not the tallest, and he would be easily buried in the line, but Yao Ye always felt that Liu Yang seemed to have something shiny on his body, as long as he wanted to find him, he would definitely be able to find that person , with a glance, instantly attracting attention.

Just staring, Liu Yang raised his head and met his gaze in the air. Even from a distance, those eyes were black like diamonds, shining brightly.

Yao Ye stupidly raised his hand and waved it.

Liu Yang grinned silently.

All of a sudden, the two felt that it was so innocent, the sun was shining on the earth, the greenery under their feet was lush, and each other's every move and every smile could be seen clearly.

The opening ceremony ended at 10:[-], and I went back to rest for a while for lunch. In the afternoon, coach Luo Xinhua took me to familiarize myself with the venue.

Liu Yang is not very clear about how long this swimming pool was built. It looks very new, and the style is also very avant-garde. If you study carefully, it will naturally be very different.

When Liu Yang and the others entered, there were already many teams training. There were people in the 8 swimming lanes, including the deep water pool over there. Access to two swimming lanes.

Liu Yang pouted, knowing that this person should not be underestimated, he probably has some skills, at least he is very good at the swimming system.

89 people were divided into three groups, one group for half an hour, one after another jumped into the water like penguins in the arctic, two waterways with four rows of people, swimming is not fast, the main reason is to find the sense of water in the shortest time.

Liu Yang went down in the third batch. He didn't feel much after jumping into the water. It was similar to the swimming pool he usually trained in. The water temperature was right and the water tasted similar, with a faint smell of chemical disinfection products.

Liu Yang traveled very slowly, closed his eyes, felt it with his skin, grasped it with his heart, and soon, a faint sense of jerky came to his heart.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt some slight differences. When he swam to the edge of the pool, Liu Yang deliberately found the water outlet under the swimming lane. The disc with a diameter of 10 cm was rehearsed with densely packed small holes, but there was no water in it. come out.

Sure enough, the water here is stagnant water.

Liu Yang sighed. In order to ensure the accuracy of the game, it is impossible to turn on the automatic cycle equipment, so it means that the performance of all athletes who are used to this kind of water flow will be reduced by one to two seconds.

When Liu Yang came out of the water, he saw Luo Xinhua was staring at him, his gaze restrained, showing no emotion.

Liu Yang pursed his lips and swam out again.

Here on the shore, Luo Xinhua waited for Liu Yang to leave and turned to Yao Ye and said, "It seems that your little friend is very sensitive."

Yao Ye didn't see that scene, so he turned to look at him with some doubts.

Luo Xinhua said: "For a young player participating in this kind of competition for the first time, he is the most calm I have ever seen, and he can feel the difference in regular pool water at the first time."

Although Yao Ye still didn't quite understand what Luo Xinhua was talking about, he nodded in agreement, "This kid's thinking is very mature, and his ability to analyze things is very strong, especially I am a little surprised at the level of his own psychological construction. Speaking of which, my ability to recover so quickly this time has something to do with him."

Luo Xinhua obviously did not expect Yao Ye's answer. He glanced at him in surprise, and when he turned his head to look at Liu Yang again, his eyes had already added a little eagerness.

In the evening, Luo Xinhua gathered everyone for a pre-competition mobilization meeting. In general, he announced the task of winning the gold this time and analyzed the key players in each region. Swimming is not as good as basketball and other team sports. There are not so many skills In a word, the psychological endurance before the game is the most important.

Since Liu Yang had a preliminary 100-meter freestyle competition the next morning, he returned to his room early to rest and prepare for the competition.

Yao Ye originally wanted to go there at night and talk to Liu Yang to reassure him, but when he turned around and thought about the child's psychological maturity, he decided to let it go, lest he would become nervous if he talked about it.

Liu Yang went to bed early the day before, and woke up at 5:[-] in the morning. He tossed and turned in bed, and finally gritted his teeth and dragged Ye Shuwen out of bed to do morning exercises.

Ye Shuwen didn't complain, and followed Liu Yang downstairs in the hostel for dozens of laps, his face flushed with sweat.

Just like what I said at the beginning, Liu Yang has a habit of doing some balanced exercise with micro-loads to keep his brain clear when facing some problems that he can't think about.

Speaking of it, he was really a little nervous, especially knowing that this competition was related to whether he could enter the provincial team, so he had to pay attention to it. Whether it is difficult or not to enter the provincial team from a school depends on the individual, with achievements and potential Seven or eight out of ten can get in. In other words, maybe none of the ten can get in. Of course, it is not impossible for someone with a family relationship to get in, but Liu Yang knows his own family affairs. It is impossible to go this way, so I can only participate in the competition, swim well, compare well, play well, and let the coaches of the provincial team notice him.

Let the heart calm down, return to its normal state, recharge your energy, and burst out at the moment of the game.

If, if possible, he hopes to get a gold medal, which is the most beneficial capital for him to enter the provincial team and even the national team.

There were many runners participating in the 100-meter freestyle, more than 150 people, and 8 water courses. Just by grouping, they were divided into nearly 20 groups. Liu Yang was divided into the third group, so he changed into swimming trunks and waited for the field to rest as soon as he entered the field. , He closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and listened to the sound outside.

He was getting used to the sound of the starting gun.

In this era, the competition still depends on the firing of guns. The sound is very loud, and the loud bang can be heard from a distance. This kind of excessive volume can easily cause the athletes to be overly nervous, just like a child setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. , you clearly watched the child light the firecracker with a lighter in his hand and throw it out, but you would still stare at the firecracker, and enter a state of preparation to welcome the sound.

Of course, proper tension is not without benefits. It can stimulate human adrenal hormones, increase myocardial contraction and increase excitement, but excessive tension will increase the load on the heart and cause premature fatigue.

The best way is to get used to it as much as possible and adjust your mentality.

The 100-meter self-competition is very fast. It only takes 5 minutes from the time when the athletes enter the field, prepare, to enter the water and swim ashore, and record the time. Soon, the staff of the competition organization shouted at the door to prepare for the three groups.

Liu Yang stood up and put a black swimming cap on his head. Before he met Yao Ye, he didn't like wearing a swimming cap very much. He felt that wearing this kind of thing on his head would make him feel restrained, which made him always swim. He would be very concerned about it, but these days, under the influence of Yao Ye, he got used to putting something on his head unconsciously.

After the competition, the children in the second group walked in with water all over their bodies. Liu Yang stepped aside and looked at the happy and frustrated faces. He didn't want to guess what he would be like when he got out of the water. I just hope that I can try my best to swim to the best result.

The staff told them to enter the arena in the order of the water. Since it was not the final, the track was not divided according to the convention, but arranged according to the order of the lottery. Liu Yang ranked sixth and was the third to go out.

The moment he went out, Liu Yang saw everything in his eyes.

There are a lot of staff in the swimming pool, and there are many coaches sitting under the rostrum. There are also two referees sitting behind each waterway, with a stopwatch hanging around their necks talking in a low voice. In contrast, there are few in the audience seats. It's a bit pitiful, most of them are the coaches who lead the team and the athletes who have games today.

Liu Yang stood by his waterway, put on his swimming goggles on his eyes first, glanced habitually, and saw Yao Ye who was giving him a thumbs up in the stands.

Move the neck, make a soft and crisp sound, shake the shoulders a few times, and then stretch the fingers, the fingers are interlocked and stretched outwards, and then the waist, knee joints, ankles, and even the toes touch the ground and rotate twice.

He warmed up in an orderly manner, his heart was very calm, very calm, and occasionally looked at the players next door with indifference. This is a very strange state of mind. If people really have a sixth sense, Liu Yang thinks I should be able to win this preliminaries.

Isn't it weird?

He smiled, hoping that this state can be maintained until the end of the game.

The whistle that pierced the sky sounded, the referee behind him stood up, and the broadcasting system of the gymnasium began to report the name and representative team of each participating player. When Liu Yang was clicked, he raised his chin, took a step forward, and lifted Right arm, tall.

At this time, he remembered an idiom about swimming competitions - striving for the upper reaches.

Yes, aim for the top.
