Swimmer of Rebirth

Not long after Yao Ye and the others left, after another group of contestants had finished competing, the staff of the competition here called out Liu Yang's name.

Liu Yang's heart tightened, he withdrew his wandering thoughts, and walked over.

When he got there, 2 athletes had already registered for duty. Liu Yang compared his height and body shape, and sighed secretly. Although he said that he had never thought about unrealistic fantasies like winning a medal, but the thought of participating in a competition was rare. In the end, it was only the last place in the group stage, which is too embarrassing.

Because everyone was warming up nearby, the staff called one by one, and soon all the members were assembled. At this time, the players in the front group had already entered the field and took their positions, and the timekeeper behind him also turned a new page. Paper.

The solemn atmosphere before the match made Liu Yang a little nervous, and when he thought that it would be his turn in the next group, his heart beat faster.

He looked away, closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and imagined that he was standing there now, with the timer behind him, the diving platform in front, and the swimming pool he was about to jump into in front, the competitive stage.

After the whistle sounded, he stepped onto the platform, relaxed himself, and waited for the moment to start.

Jump into the water amidst the deafening gunshots.

The preset process in the brain ends after the gunshot, and the rest is the desperate sprint after entering the water.

50 meters, the cruelest 50 meters, there is no time to find the feeling of water in the debugging state, so we can only move forward with the memory of the body.

The sound of splashing water spread from his left ear to his right ear, from the starting point to the ending point.

Just over 20 seconds.

10 breath times.

The game is over.

Liu Yang opened his eyes and clenched his teeth.

Half a minute after the last group of players got into the water, the staff brought Liu Yang and the others into the arena.

Eight people walked in a row, one by one standing in front of their swimming lanes to prepare.

From the beginning of registration, Liu Yang felt very uncomfortable.

Too many gazes were cast on him, and there was surprise and sympathy in these gazes, but no hostility.

Because they didn't pay attention to him at all.

There are only 7 people on their stage.

Want to compete, compete well, swim a good result, and make the opponents stunned.

Liu Yang raised his chin, turned his neck slightly, straightened his spine, and stared at the burning fighting spirit ahead.

Before defeating others, you must first defeat yourself, and move forward with a full mind.

The starter blew his whistle on the take-off line, and Liu Yang stood on the platform.

His eyes were clear and piercing.

Through the swimming goggles, he saw his target. Yao Ye's back seemed to be moving forward, in the swimming lane, quickly.

He bent his body, staring intently at the constantly rippling water level ahead, and his tense body entered a battle-ready state.

"Bang!" The gun rang.

Liu Yang's legs thrust hard and shot into the water.

The skin was infected by the cold liquid, but the heart was burning.

Kick and get out of the water.

Let the memory of your body drive you to break through the water.

It seems to grow taller. Every time the arm enters the water, it is stretched to the extreme, infinitely extended, and there is no end to wanting to reach farther and return more pool water.

From the jump to the water, the distance between Liu Yang and other players was not that big, but soon, the age gap appeared, and he was gradually pulled away by No.1.

However, because explosive power has always been his proud strength, he was close to No. 25 and No. 3 in the first 4 meters, and there were actually four players behind him.

However, these gaps are very small, and the last 25 meters were surpassed twice by the people behind.

Dropped to 6th place.

Liu Yang tried his best to control the frequency of his breathing, trying to reduce the speed reduction caused by breathing.

It's only 50 meters, just grit your teeth and pass.

Hit the shore.

6th place.

He worked hard to ensure that he did not end up at the bottom of the list of athletes over the age of 16.

The 4-year-old gap is not just a matter of height. His arms are shorter than theirs, his palms and feet are smaller than theirs, and he has four years less exercise and four years less familiarity with water than them.

Given this gap, Liu Yang's performance has already made Luo Xinhua nod slightly.

Liu Yang was in a good mood, and found that he was at least not at the bottom. With a smile on his face, he strolled happily into the locker room.

Here Yao Ye took Ye Shuwen to see the results.

The referee who reported the score to him was very talkative. After hearing what he wanted to do, he casually turned the score sheet aside on the table, gestured for him to read it by himself.

Yao Ye took a look, frowned, turned around and ran straight to Luo Xinhua.

Luo Xinhua was lowering his head and taking notes in his notebook, which listed the status of his players in this competition and the areas that need to be strengthened.

Seeing Yao Ye approaching, he stopped writing and looked up at him.

Yao Ye propped his hands on the edge of the table, frowning tightly, "Uncle, what is the 50 self-record of Liu Yang's age group?"

Luo Xinhua thought for a while, "Around 26?"

"What about it?"

Luo Xinhua thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't remember clearly, what happened?"

"Liu Yang just scored 25'80."

As soon as Yao Ye finished speaking, Luo Xinhua stood up abruptly, "I'll take a look." After leaving these words, he walked out quickly.

Ye Shuwen looked at Luo Xinhua's back, blinked his eyes and looked up at Yao Ye, "You mean that Yang Yang may have broken the record of the junior group?"

Yao Ye didn't look back at Luo Xinhua's back, but nodded with a frown, which seemed to be replying to Ye Shuwen's words.

After getting the answer, Ye Shuwen immediately grinned. He happened to see Liu Yang who had changed his clothes and was walking this way.

The welcome is really warm.

Liu Yang was caught off guard, and was hugged by Ye Shuwen who rushed over and took a step back.

Before he could react, Ye Shuwen howled, "Yangyang, do you know that you have broken the national record, 25'80, and now you have maintained the 50-meter freestyle in the junior group, congratulations You, really congratulations, I'm so happy."

Liu Yang blinked, a little unbelievable, pulled Ye Shuwen's arm off his neck, stared straight at the smiling face, and asked, "Really?"

"Yeah, why did you lie to me? Coach Luo went to ask, let's go, let's go there and wait." After speaking, he took Liu Yang's arm and led him over.

Liu Yang was pulled by Ye Shuwen, his feet felt light and light, as if he was stepping on clouds, and when a gust of wind blew, he would be carried up.

Only the five characters of "record holder" have been played back tens of millions of times in my head.

Seeing Liu Yang being dragged over, Yao Ye relaxed his frowning brows, patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, and gave a thumbs up, "Good job."

Liu Yang scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly, his ears turned red rarely.

He was so happy, and in addition, no matter in his previous life or in this life, he never thought that such a top-notch event in the country would be his turn. A pie fell from the sky and knocked him unconscious on the spot.

If this is not the arena, this is not the public area, he will definitely jump up fiercely and howl like that.

Yao Ye was uncharacteristically silent, his brows that had just been relaxed were frowned again, his eyes looked in the direction where Luo Xinhua disappeared, showing a worried expression.

Liu Yang and Ye Shuwen were so happy, they were laughing and bragging, but they didn't notice anything wrong with Yao Ye.

Here, Ye Shuwen was envious and envious, and said sourly: "That's great, when you talk about the 50-meter self-record in the future, you will think of you, Liu Yang. Be honest, have you been doped?"

Here Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled wryly, "Brother is in good shape today. When I was in the water, I felt that I was swimming faster than usual. I didn't expect to wait here."

Ye Shuwen punched him on the shoulder in displeasure, "You madman, you actually got it. It seems that I will have to train every day when I go back."

"I'm not a stupid bird to fly first. Don't work hard, let alone the national team. Whether the provincial team can stay steady is another matter." Liu Yang comforted with a hippie smile.

Ye Shuwen pursed his lips, "Tsk tsk, you and Brother Xu are a perfect match, I said, you never thought about relaxing and finding something to play for yourself? After regular training every day, go to extra training, isn't it boring? Even There is no entertainment for the provincial team, but there is always a TV, right? If it doesn’t work, you can still sleep, right?”

"Don't seduce me." Liu Yang gave him a look that your trick is too bad, "Brother Xu and I are not like you, you can achieve the effect of 8 points with 10 points of effort, but we need 12 points of effort In exchange for this 10 points, the same person is different, there is no way."

Ye Shuwen didn't speak, just looked at him with a frown, and asked suspiciously: "Yangyang, do you really want to join the national team and stand on the podium?"

Liu Yang nodded.

"Why?" Ye Shuwen's face was full of doubts, "According to the coach's arrangement, step by step, I believe that Coach Luo will send us all to the national team."

"There is an essential difference between entering the national team at the age of 13 and entering the national team at the age of 15. Different places have different views, and we can prepare earlier and accumulate strength to go to a higher place." Liu Yang said .

Yao Ye turned to look at Liu Yang when he heard the words, showing a faint smile.

Ye Shuwen lowered his eyes and did not speak, as if encouraged, but there was still a little confusion on his face.

Step by step, down-to-earth progress is the trace that every athlete is branded at the beginning, and they keep moving forward following this trace.

It is also everyone's dream to enter the national team and win medals in world-class arenas.

It is good to have a dream because it can motivate people.

But everyone knows that there is still a long way to go before stepping into this dream, step by step.

But when this ultimate dream is talked about by Liu Yang and he sets it as the first station in his life, it gives people a very high-spirited performance.

Ye Shuwen couldn't break the frame that he was restricted from the beginning. He looked at Liu Yang within this frame, and he couldn't understand what the other party was doing.

Ye Shuwen asked Liu Yang, "Do you think it's better to set your own goals clearly from the beginning, or to walk firmly on the road under your feet?"

"Is there a difference?" Liu Yang asked back.

"do not have it?"

"Of course." Liu Yang nodded, "Only by having a clear goal can you encourage yourself to move forward, and to reach the goal location still requires unremitting efforts. Your question makes me feel that there is no choice."

"Then Yangyang... what is your purpose of training yourself so non-stop?"

Liu Yang smiled, put his arm on Ye Shuwen's shoulder, and said with emotion: "I just wish I could walk faster."

"I'm a little surprised how fast you are."

The arm on Ye Shuwen's shoulder tightened violently, Liu Yang squinted at him and smiled, "Are you still jealous after all?"

"Yeah, I'm so jealous." Ye Shuwen pursed his lips and replied angrily.

"I performed supernormally today. No, I was taken aback. Please make me happy, okay? Don't be so sour."

"Who doesn't make you happy, I'm asking for advice this time, do you know? Maybe I can break a record next time with 100 butterflies."

"Isn't it? Are you ruthless?"

"Well, I was stimulated. My daughter-in-law is better than my husband, so I can't bear it." Ye Shuwen frowned, his face full of pain.

Liu Yang looked at him with a smile, "In this case, why don't you just be my wife?"

Yao Ye clenched his fist and coughed on his lips, then turned to look at them, "I'm already a year older, and I'm still playing house? I'm worthless, I'm going to find a little girl to be my wife if I want to, the two boys are just kidding Don't you feel ashamed?"

Liu Yang pursed his mouth and gave him a sideways glance, "Go away, the old man, there is a generation gap with you."

Yao Ye didn't get choked up, instead he approached with a playful smile, "Would you like to play with me? Let me go back to my youth again?"

"Do you know what LOLI is, what is Zhengtai, what is strange uncle, and what is Yujie?" Liu Yang clattered a bunch of terms after 2000.

"I don't know." Yao Ye admitted honestly, his complexion changed, showing a bit of flattery, "How about you teach me?"

Liu Yang chuckled, "Isn't the Asian Games next year going to be held in Hiroshima? If you have time, go to a comic shop and have a look, maybe you can find the right answer, hey, don't read it, Wenwen will naturally know the correct answer, but He won't tell you."

Ye Shuwen was about to make a statement, but when he looked up, he saw Luo Xinhua coming this way, and immediately stopped with a smile on his face.

Luo Xinhua's face was a little gloomy, his brows were frowned, and his air pressure was extremely low. He didn't say anything when he got to the seat, and sat down directly, with his arms folded on his chest and his head bowed in thought.

Yao Ye glanced at Liu Yang, sighed, and asked Luo Xinhua, "How is it? Do you admit it?"

Luo Xinhua shook his head.

Yao Ye nodded and said to Liu Yang, "Yangyang, come here for a while."

Seeing the faces of the two of them, Liu Yang was sensitive to find that there was something wrong, and when Yao Ye called him alone, his heart jumped violently.

Luo Xinhua raised his head and looked over, and said to Yao Ye, "It hasn't been finalized yet, and I don't think there will be much change. You can talk to him, and be careful."

Yao Ye nodded, turned around and left.

Liu Yang pressed Ye Shuwen's shoulder, told him to wait for him, and walked out behind Yao Ye.

Yao Ye walked up to the stands, walked all the way up, reached the last row, chose a place with few people and sat down.

Liu Yang sat next to him.

Originally, I thought Yao Ye would talk the first time he sat down, but he was still silent after sitting for 2 minutes.

Just when he couldn't help asking, Yao Ye moved.

Yao Ye turned to look at him, his frown was loosened, and there was a smile on his face. Liu Yang secretly swallowed his saliva, and found that the smile was like a family member of a gastric cancer patient who lied to him that it was just a gastric perforation. Just fake.

Yao Ye put his hand on Liu Yang's shoulder and patted it, "I won't mince words, your performance this time has indeed broken the record."

"En." Liu Yang nodded.

"But your grades cannot be recorded."

"Ah!?" Liu Yang's eyes widened sharply, looking at him in surprise.

"Let's put it this way. First of all, there is a problem with your entry procedures. To compete in the National Games, you need to have participated in any ranking competition organized by the National Swimming Administration in the second half of last year and the first half of this year. Athletes who are new to the provincial team, especially Young athletes generally do not arrange such ranking competitions immediately. First, it takes a period of time to consolidate their results. Second, most young athletes will not be able to get a good ranking if they participate in ranking competitions. Therefore, this National Games It was Coach Luo who insisted on a spot for you. He originally wanted you to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the atmosphere of the competition. Do you understand what I said? Although you can participate, you are not included in the schedule. If you are admitted Record-breaking results, then..." At this point, he compared the referee's seat with his chin, "then they will not be able to face inquiries from the outside world. Of course, this is just one of them. The most important thing is that the National Games will not If you distinguish between Group A and Group B, then the record you broke in Group B is useless."

Liu Yang was stunned for a while, then nodded in disappointment.
