Swimmer of Rebirth

Liu Yang stood on the diving platform, with his feet on the back, his arms hanging by his legs and shaking slightly to relax his muscles. The two competitors around him were also doing the same movements, their jaws were clenched tightly, and their necks could almost be stretched. Seeing the bulging blue tendons, Liu Yang touched his neck, but fortunately, it wasn't that scary.

Because it is a competition for the youth group, 14 years old is the standard line. The height and body shape of these children are a bit different. The tall ones are close to 1 meters, and the short ones are only in the early 70s. Standing on the diving platform, they can clearly distinguish these children At his real age, Liu Yang's luck is not good. There are two big guys in the same group, with tangled muscles in the arms and broad shoulders.

Sitting in the auditorium, Yao Ye suddenly became nervous. This kind of tension was really strange to him. It was someone else who was competing, not him, but he felt like he was standing on the diving platform, and his muscles were tense. dead tight.

Luo Xinhua gave him a strange look, opened the notebook, and wrote Liu Yang's name on it.

There are 5 players from You School and the provincial team participating in this project. As a coach, he must record the players' participation. Liu Yang is a bit unlucky. Luo Xinghua wrote down the names of the players in his notebook, out of a wish for a good start, Luo Xinhua very much hoped that Liu Yang would win first place in this group.

"Beep beep——" two short whistles sounded, telling the contestants to take their positions.

Liu Yang took a step forward, hooked his feet to the edge of the table, bent down, with his arms vertically downward, his fingertips lightly touched the table, and unconsciously clenched his teeth.

"Beep--", dragging a long sound for one second.

After stepping on Liu Yang's left foot, he jumped up and tightened his body. At this moment, the power that seemed to be suppressed began to erupt, and the beating of the heart intensified. It seemed that suddenly a large stream of blood flowed through the whole body.

"Bang!" The gun was fired.

Liu Yang's legs slammed hard and shot out.

Yao Ye and others in the audience stared wide-eyed instantly, watching Liu Yang's distance from entering the water to exiting the water without blinking.

Very good, not slow, and it seems that the reflex nerves are also very good, and it has vaguely kept up with the first group from entering the water to exiting the water.

The moment Liu Yang shot it, his mind went blank, or in other words, such a short distance could not make him think about anything at all.

Diagonal piercing into the water, from the fingertips to the arms, the cold water infiltrates all the way to the toes, completely fitting, stimulating the body muscles to become more powerful and full of strength.

Kicking three times quickly, the right arm has already drawn out of the water while jumping out of the water, the upper arm drives the small arm, the water that is brought up flies out from the fingertips, draws a semicircle on the side of the body, and plunges forward into the water , stretched to the limit of his arm, hooked his wrist, and a handful of water was brought to flow under his body, and his body rushed out.

At this time, the other hand has swung around in the air according to the inertia the body is used to, then stretched forward and entered the water.

Two arms, two opposite trajectories, constantly staggered.

The clear waves in front of the swimming goggles were rippling, and the light from above the swimming pool was cut into pieces by the water waves, like a mirror, and he was swimming in the mirror.

Accelerate, keep accelerating, have no time for others, just hope to use up the last bit of strength.

Yao Ye clenched his hands tightly on his thighs, his back was straight, and his whole body seemed to be about to bounce off the seat.

Very good, the second place. From the moment he entered the water, Liu Yang kept the second place, holding on to No.1 tightly.

Yao Ye shouted silently in his heart, come on!come on!There's only one arm's gap, work harder, give me the best of my fucking strength!

Perhaps his encouragement really paid off.

In a very strange situation, Liu Yang rolled over and rushed to the first place, and his speed suddenly increased.

Looking at this seat from a distance, it looks like a swordfish with spikes on its head, its dorsal fin cutting through the water, and it is sprinting straight towards its target.

Yao Ye's clenched fists became tighter and tighter, and his breathing was rough.

Very good, that's it, continue to accelerate, give full play to your talent, the explosive power you are most proud of, like a bullet, it will go forward indomitable after being shot.

Tired?

During the sprint, Liu Yang asked himself, are you tired?

Fortunately, he really felt okay, it seemed that his whole body was full of strength, swimming in the water, as if he was already living in the water, for example, a fish.

Fish live in water, and water belongs to their world. Here, they can jump several meters instantly when they swing their tails, change direction by gently waving their fins, and feel the flow of water with their skin.

Liu Yang felt that at this moment, his legs became tails, his arms became fins, and his skin was so sensitive that he could feel the water chasing from behind.

Yeah, if I'm a fish, why am I tired, this is my world.

The legs were strengthened again, the waving of the arms was raised to another level, and the whole body suddenly jumped forward.

Want to catch up with me?Come on then.

Liu Yang's three-degree acceleration made Luo Xinhua frowned and straightened up in surprise. In fact, he has only brought so many players so far with only two-degree acceleration. This is the limit of a human being. The first acceleration can be called Well, the second acceleration is usually what they call a burst, so what about the third?What reason should this use to explain?

There is a limit to the human body's ability to withstand, the second degree of acceleration is already extremely harmful to the heart and blood vessels, and the third degree of acceleration is unless the human potential explodes at the moment when human beings face life and death, but this situation should occur in the competition How to understand, in this case, Liu Yang is not facing an unsolvable problem, what is the reason?

Luo Xinhua was more worried about Liu Yang's body than discovering Liu Yang's shocking situation three times. Excessive, exceeding the limit of his body is not a good phenomenon. Liu Yang was getting ready to be dragged up from the pool.

If you use an idiom to describe Liu Yang's current state, like a fish in water would be the best metaphor.

What better way to navigate this environment than fish?

Water is his air, he walks in the air, he flies in the air, this is his world, in his field, how can humans surpass him...

He swam very comfortably all the way, and he could even feel that his heartbeat was not strong, but powerful, pounding, circulating the blood to his limbs again and again.

So when he hit the shore and looked back, he realized what he had done.

No.2 is still more than 5 meters away from him.

He widened his eyes in disbelief and took another look before he slammed into the water and yelled "YES!!"

It's great, it turned out to be No.1, it's great, it's really great to win with such a big advantage.

He wanted to raise his arms and wave them towards the audience, but suddenly a soreness swept over his body, and he was so tired that he almost sank directly into the water.

Hastily took a few deep breaths in a row to stabilize his breath, and grabbed the waterline to pant heavily.

A big hand stretched out, Liu Yang looked up at him.

It was the referee responsible for the sixth record. He knelt on the bank, leaned half out of the pool, and stretched out his hand in front of Liu Yang. "Do you need help?" he asked.

Although Liu Yang was sore all over now, he was really embarrassed to do such a price drop, so he could only squeeze out a smile and shook his head.

The kind referee smiled, "Then get up quickly, the next group is going to compete." Then he straightened up.

Liu Yang obediently responded.

When getting up from the water and going ashore, when the buoyancy of the water gradually left his body, Liu Yang was almost crushed by his own body and fell back into the water.

I was really tired, my whole body was sore, my feet seemed to be filled with lead, and there was a big mountain on my back.

Liu Yang complained while walking, and when he passed by the kind referee, he received a friendly smile from the other party. Liu Yang couldn't control his facial muscles, and grinned back.

After Liu Yang passed by, the referee checked the stopwatch with another referee, with a surprised expression on his face.

57.36 and 57.40, taking the middle value is 57.38, a very good result, infinitely close to the Group B record of the Youth Games that was only broken last year.

And the kid seemed to be 12 years old.

Is it a sudden outburst or a sustained and stable result?

It is very possible that as long as he is more familiar with the water and the rhythm of the game, he may break Wei Wen's record.

The two referees smiled, remembering that 13-year-old Wei Wen also participated in a competition, and couldn't help but look forward to the collision between the two of them.

When Liu Yang heard the results announced on the radio, he felt that he was flying, with a pair of wings growing on his back, and his body was floating in the air, lightly.

Not only because of the weak consequences of losing strength, but also because of the excitement about this achievement.

Whether it's training or competition, his best time is no more than 58 seconds, but today he was faster than 1 second in the competition. Could it be...

Liu Yang rubbed his little chin, thinking, is he really a competitive athlete?

But...Liu Yang tried his best to recall the games two years ago, and it seemed that they were not very outstanding, and even couldn't reach the results in the usual training.

Is it...

Liu Yang suddenly remembered his real age, 32 years old, experienced too many things, a heart that has wandered in the world for half a lifetime.

Is this the reason?right?

he asked himself.

Perhaps the so-called game endurance refers to the heart that can bear the pressure of the game and turn the pressure into motivation.

But even though he was happy in his heart, Liu Yang's feet were still a little off, his legs were as weak as if he had no strength, and he was even a little scared. He was really afraid that his blood vessels would collapse, his muscles would rupture, and his heart would burst when he exceeded the limit.

So when Yao Ye gave him a massage at noon, he foolishly told all these fears, and Yao Ye held his stomach and laughed instead.

Liu Yang saw Yao Ye when he walked out of the dressing room. This man was standing in the shade of the corner, leaning against the wall and playing with the small box in his hand with his head bowed. When he saw him, he smiled as brightly as the sun in May.

"Boy, congratulations." Yao Ye shook the long round box in his hand, the black box flew into the air, twirled around, and landed in the palm of his hand.

Liu Yang stared at the box curiously, and replied, "Thank you, I really didn't expect that I could swim so well. You know, my best time is only 58 seconds. It gave me a shock every time." Liu Yang said cracklingly, making no effort to hide his inner excitement.

Yao Ye stepped over and rubbed his head, "Look at your ambition, you can break the record for me if you have the ability, you are laughing, what's the point now?"

Liu Yang gave him a sideways glance, and felt rather displeased. You always stand and talk without pain in your back. If you have the ability to compete in the water by yourself, show me a world record.

"Hey!" Yao Ye approached him slowly, leaned down and looked at him, "Did I tell you? I kept the 100-meter record since the Youth Games last time. No one broke it in three years." .”

scare!Liu Yang blinked, looked at the arrogant man in front of him, his head twitched suddenly, "Last time? Wait, I'll refresh him for the next game."

Yao Ye laughed hoarsely, wrapped his arm tightly around the back of his neck twice, and straightened up, "Be ambitious, don't lift me up, I didn't say you didn't perform well, at least you've already broken me. record." Yao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some regret: "The children nowadays should not be underestimated. Their nutrition and conditions have kept up, they can endure hardships, and their swimming skills are constantly being updated. In the past two years, The records are constantly being refreshed."

"Master taught you well." Liu Yang hurriedly flattered, trying to appease Young Master Yao's desolate heart.

Yao Ye looked down at him, and handed over the box in his hand. "No, here you are."

"What?" Liu Yang took the box in doubt and opened it, exclaiming, "Swimming goggles!?"

Inside is a black streamlined swimming goggle, lying quietly in a long box, the mirror surface is smooth and round, shining with a faint light, the black strap is sleeping underneath, and the red flannelette is underneath.

He has been haggling for a long time, the Matrix model that Yao Ye brought.

Yao Ye looked at the surprise on Liu Yang's face, looked at his flickering brilliance, a little red cloud floated on the tips of his ears, "cough, um, that, I planned to give it to you after you finished the finals, but it depends on you Today’s performance is so good, it’s ahead of schedule.”

"Thank you!!" Liu Yang was really overjoyed. He scored well in the competition and got the swimming goggles he had dreamed of. He immediately hooked Yao Ye's neck and hugged him tightly.

Yao Ye let him hold him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and patted him on the back, "Okay, so many people are watching, how indecent it is for two elders to hug each other."

"Don't." Liu Yang whispered in a nasal voice, with mixed feelings for a moment, his eyes were astringent and uncomfortable.

For this moment today, he has paid so much. Not only does he work extra hard in daily training, he also continues to train every day. will regret it.

"Coach, thank you." Thank you for your help these days, for worrying about my game, thank you for the first congratulations, happy for me, really thank you.

The warm breath gently swept over his neck like a feather, and there was a faint sense of trembling at the place where it was swept. Yao Ye's smile gradually shrank, and his brows frowned slightly.

This feeling... is really damn uncomfortable.

He pulled the hand on his neck away, pushed Liu Yang out, and smiled unnaturally, "You should, work hard, and it will naturally pay off, perform well, get through the semi-finals all the way to the final, get me a Medal."

Liu Yang pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"Let's go, the game will be played tomorrow afternoon, go back and have a good rest." Yao Ye pulled him away with his arms around his neck.

Liu Yang was taken away, looked down at the swimming goggles in his hand, and held them tightly in the palm of his hand.

In the one-day preliminaries, some people were happy and some were worried. Liu Yang and Ye Shuwen successfully advanced but couldn’t show their excitement on their faces. Wang Yaxin’s 100-meter breaststroke suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo and basically missed the semi-finals. Constantly suffering in their hearts, the two of them were so depressed that they could almost see thunderstorms.

Yao Xiaoye deceived himself and carried out psychological counseling with the idea of ​​treating everyone equally, and everyone slobbered to appease Wang Yaxin and Li Yipeng.

The atmosphere had just relaxed, and everyone was bragging about their calf, when someone came.

Because the door was not locked, people from outside walked in after knocking on the door.

Three people, Zhang Weijia and Xu Han, and one unknown, but his identity is easy to guess from the sportswear he was wearing. It was red and yellow in color, and there was a small five-star red flag on the cuff, which was the same as Liu Yang that day. The same as the one seen in Yao Ye's suitcase.
