Swimmer of Rebirth

Chapter 69 Relaxation and Tension

Liu Yang hugged the waterway line and panted heavily, and looked at Ken and Ken across the two waterways. The person over there was wearing swimming goggles, and he didn't know if he saw it, so he turned his head away directly, making him want to be polite. Liu Yang, who smiled sexually, was a little embarrassed.

In fact, Liu Yang was not very tired after swimming this race, at least not to the point of collapse. This is a hint from the bottom of his heart that before the finals, he needs to reserve his energy and wait for the moment of the final sprint.

And Liu Yang can also see that Ken is also in good condition and has kept the bottom line.This person will be a strong opponent for him to win the gold. It is Liu Yang's luck to meet this opponent in the group stage. Compared with easily winning the first place in the group and advancing to the official preliminaries, this vaccination is better.

In fact, as Yao Ye expected, many players advanced in their group, and out of the eight players, six entered the preliminaries.

Of course, this is also related to the number of athletes participating in this type of competition. There are only 46 contestants in total. If you choose one of the two, you have a great chance of getting a place in the preliminaries.

Liu Yang changed his clothes and went to the stands to rest. The coach who led the team patted him on the shoulder with a faint smile on his face, and seemed very satisfied with the result.

Ye Shuwen hooked his shoulder and said pertinently, "It's okay."

Liu Yang patted Ye Shuwen back, then looked at Wang Yaxin, and said, "It's almost time for you to compete. How about it? Do I give you confidence in this competition? Is it okay to be selected for the preliminaries? It seems that those foreign leaders He's tall, but he's actually not that bad." Liu Yang chuckled and gave Wang Yaxin a booster.

Wang Yaxin pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Liu Yangde smiled and frowned slightly, thinking that Wang Yaxin had been abnormal since he got off the plane, as if he had something on his mind, and his condition was not very good.

Facts have proved that Wang Yaxin's state is indeed very problematic. The next time he participated in the 100-meter frog group competition, his results were very bad. He swam 7th, which was more than three seconds behind his performance in the Youth Games a month ago. In the end, they didn't even make it to the preliminaries.

When Wang Yaxin came up dejectedly, the coach glanced at him. Although he didn't say anything, he could see that he was a little disappointed with Wang Yaxin.

Liu Yang turned Yao Ye with his elbow, and pointed Yao Ye to look at Wang Yaxin with the tip of his chin.

Yao Ye smiled, "You go, it's not appropriate for me to persuade you, you two brothers, please comfort him."

Liu Yang gave him a sideways glance with a headache, "The 100 Butterfly group stage is coming soon, we don't need your help if we can go."

Yao Ye frowned and remained silent, before nodding for a while.

After Liu Yang and Ye Shuwen went down, Yao Ye walked up to Wang Yaxin and sat down. Wang Yaxin turned to look at him, but neither of them spoke.

At the time when Yao Ye was instructing Liu Yang, although his secret thoughts were not as clear as they are now, Liu Yang was always different in his heart. Because he paid too much attention, he could guess many thoughts in Liu Yang's heart and give the best of them. The answer is confusing.

However, Wang Yaxin...

Yao Ye secretly sighed, thinking that Liu Yang had given him a problem.

First of all, it’s not that he’s boasting. He’s always had a good grasp of his mentality since the competition, and there were few setbacks. At the National Games, although he entered the final of the 50-meter butterfly, he only got the 7th lane. That is to say, he entered the final as No.5 in the semi-final, and his results were slower than his usual training results. For nearly two seconds, why?Something happened to Liu Yang. Originally, Luo Xinhua was hiding it from him, but all the players in the Sichuan team knew about it. In addition, Zhang Weijia's big mouth exposed it like this.

Because of anxiety and worry, the rhythm was messed up and the game was affected.

He did a good job of self-analysis, but it's not his turn to come forward when other players are under pressure, right?Naturally, there are responsible coaches to help find the reason. This is the second point. If you are not good at it, you will not be responsible.

But Yao Xiaoye still likes Wang Yaxin and Ye Shuwen very much.

So he agreed to Liu Yang's request.

First of all, Wang Yaxin came out this time without his own coach, and there was a psychological problem. If it is not resolved in time, it may cause a psychological shadow, and it may even be abolished.

The competition is the cruelest, and people judge the level of an athlete based on his performance in the competition.

For example, to say how good an athlete's performance is, how many seconds he took in the 100-meter frog swim, is actually not as straightforward as to say how many places he won in a major competition, which is more memorable.

The coaches of the national team have to face so many up-and-coming stars every year. It is more effective to hand the medal directly to him than no matter how potential and hard-working the athlete is on weekdays.

Liu Yang's entry into the national team is a sure thing, and it's not difficult for Ye Shuwen to grasp the opportunity in this competition, but Wang Yaxin...

Yao Ye licked the dry corner of his mouth, hooked his hand on Wang Yaxin's neck, and asked him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong? Why does this face look so depressed? You're a man. Don't cry every now and then."

Wang Yaxin's eye circles were a little red, and his whole face was indeed so collapsed that he was about to shed tears, but the mist in his eyes was framed by the eye sockets, and he was forced to hold them inside.

Sad. He was indeed sad, but he couldn't afford to lose that person when he shed tears in front of so many people.

He had such a good result in the Youth Games last time, and now he can go abroad to compete, he never even thought about it, it seems that a pair of wings suddenly grew on his back to lift him up high, and the feeling of stepping on the void not only did not give him It brought pride, but made him even more uneasy, he felt that everything was imaginary, like in a dream, a vague, unreal feeling.

Now the wings suddenly disappeared, and he fell from the sky, causing pain all over his body, especially his brain, which became a mess.

He is not Liu Yang, he does not have Liu Yang's well-organized brain, and he is not Ye Shuwen, he does not have the confidence that Ye Shuwen believes in himself [-]%, he is just Wang Yaxin, just.

So he looked at Yao Ye with hope in his eyes.

He is just an ordinary person, and he hopes that Yao Ye can find the answer for him.

Yao Ye looked away from Liu Yang's back at the bottom of the swimming pool, and turned to look at Wang Yaxin, "Listen to Liu Yang, you have two competitions this time, and you have a 200-meter frog, right?"

Wang Yaxin nodded.

"Do you think you can qualify in the next game in this state?"

Wang Yaxin shook his head.

"It seems that you also know that your current state is very bad, not that your original grades are not good."

Wang Yaxin opened his mouth, and found that Yao Ye reminded him that everything was a matter of mentality. He thought for a while, blinked and asked doubtfully, "The final of the Youth Games has already belonged to a super-level performance, which is better than my usual training results. Maybe That game just now was my true game state."

Yao Ye smiled and shook his head, "I'm not confident." He stretched out his palm and rubbed his head, "You didn't have anyone behind you in the game, and you didn't take doping. Could it be that this is not yours? Is it really capable? Think about it, did you win the gold medal by relying on your real ability?"

"But that competition was indeed better than my original training results." Wang Yaxin was so focused on getting inside that he couldn't get out.

Yao Ye sighed secretly, and explained in detail: "So the coach has been talking about the mentality of the game, what is the mentality of the game, do you want me to explain? Think back carefully, what did you think when you participated in the Youth Games two months ago? From the group stage all the way to the final, do you feel confident? When you see the players around you in the final, those who lost to you in the preliminaries and semi-finals, you feel very relaxed in your heart?"

Yao Ye looked at Wang Yaxin stupidly looking at himself, raised his eyebrows, and said more patiently: "Because of self-confidence, because of relaxation, so your muscles will not be tense, and then add some photos of you in the finals. Pressure, appropriate tension, your body is in an excellent state in all aspects. Swimming is full of strength, smoothness, stretching and relaxation. The pressure exerted on the water drives the body forward, whether it is too tense or Too much relaxation is not the most suitable. Think about it, were you very nervous before the game just now, felt a lot of pressure, and felt aching in the muscles of your body before the game?"

Wang Yaxin lowered his head and said nothing, thinking to himself.

If it was Liu Yang, it would be enough to talk about this point, but Yao Ye couldn't guarantee whether Wang Yaxin would understand, so he said again, "So it doesn't matter if you lose this game, at least you can find out your problems through it, And now I have given a detailed explanation, fortunately you have a second chance, with comparison, I believe you can adjust yourself in the next game."

Wang Yaxin nodded. He believed Yao Ye, because Yao Ye explained it to him with his own experience, so it was more detailed and clearer.But if he knew that what Yao Ye was talking about was just theoretical knowledge and his usual observation of his teammates, he would probably punch him in the face.

In the swimming pool, the women's B group 100-meter frog group competition has been completed, and the broadcast announced in English and Japanese that the men's B group 100-meter butterfly group competition will be held next.

Liu Yang was in the first group this time. Ye Shuwen patted him on the shoulder when he was waiting to enter the field, and said, "See you in the preliminaries."

Liu Yang chuckled, "Anyone who doesn't even make it to the preliminaries will go back with 1 pull-ups."

"Got it." Ye Shuwen raised his eyebrows, and then asked worriedly, "Is Wang Yaxin alright?"

"Don't worry, Yao Ye is here."

"That man's head is not flexible, I'm afraid he won't be able to turn the corner."

"Do you want to make another bet? If Wang Yaxin recovers when he returns from the competition, please invite me to play in Japan."

Ye Shuwen pursed his lips, thinking that he had a much higher chance of losing this bet. He only knew Wang Yaxin, but Liu Yang knew both of them, but he still hoped that Wang Yaxin could recover as soon as possible. Even if he loses this bet, he won't lose money.So he nodded and made a second bet with Liu Yang.

It was still the searchlight, and the procedure was still the same, but this time there were no players from the Japanese team in the group, so there was no applause resounding throughout the venue.

Although he said it easily, Liu Yang still looked at the team with a little worry. Yao Ye and Wang Yaxin were sitting side by side and looking this way, too far away to see what their expressions were.

Liu Yang closed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and put aside all the redundant emotions in his heart. Now he was about to face a game, a game that required his whole heart to complete.

The British player Kerry Jones also has a group list in his hand, and the names behind the players are all blank. His coach is using this method to tell him that no one in this group will be his opponent.

Of course, it is very easy for him to enter the preliminaries, but he will never relax like this.

His goal is to win the gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly in the junior group. Before that, he must win all the way and face every game seriously.

Standing beside him was a Chinese player, who was shorter than him and not as strong as him, just like the yellow race in his mind, thin and weak.

Of course, even such an opponent would not be underestimated. After all, every country will have a few notable players, but there are not many Chinese men's swimmers that he can remember. For example, the Chinese team's seat The man named Yao Ye, what is even more ridiculous is that the reason he remembers that man is not because he won the gold medal at the World Championships, but because of the Olympic Games two years ago, this golden-age athlete was not included in the competition list , a ridiculous arrangement.

As for the one next to him, he was noncommittal. If the other party performed well, they might be able to meet in the preliminaries. As for the final...he could only pray for God's mercy.

When Kerry Jones was looking at Liu Yang, Liu Yang was also looking at him secretly.

Kerry Jones, with a typical European and American figure, is tall and strong, just like his 100-meter opponent Ken Sibo, who is also full of oppression, but looks much more handsome than Ken Sibo, Thin cheeks, high nose bridge, blue eyeballs that look as blue as the water in a swimming pool.

With the experience of the last race, Liu Yang thinks he is very lucky to be arranged on the adjacent track with this noteworthy player. This is a good opportunity, and he will hold on to Jones tightly. It would be even better if he could overtake him. , but his butterfly stroke has only been strengthened in the last six months, and he can only maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards this expectation.

A short whistle blew to let the players take their positions.

Liu Yang and Jones stepped onto the platform at the same time.

From the corner of Liu Yang's line of sight, he saw Jones took a deep breath, bent his body, and looked up at the water level. A pressure suddenly swept over Liu Yang, just like when Yao Ye was standing beside him.

Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Famous athletes always have their own aura, and he was surprised to be able to feel this kind of aura in this kind of competition, but thanks to the reason he often competes with Yao Ye, Liu Yang adapts to this kind of aura very well, even I have already figured out an unwavering mind that can resist it.

And the appearance of this thought will arouse his excitement even more.

Thanks to this aura, Liu Yang believes that he will be able to swim well in this competition.

"beep!"

Game start.

Liu Yang and Jones jumped up and shot into the water at the same time.

The reflex nerves are almost the same, and the touchpad recording under the platform shows that the gap between them is only 0.01 seconds, which is almost negligible.

Liu Yang kicked his legs out of the water in three butterfly strokes, and the muscle texture of his arms instantly became thicker and swollen. The legs are pressed together and move in undulating motions led by the abdominal muscles.

Control the rhythm of the body, inhale two strokes and kick four times, even when breathing, try to keep your shoulders close to the horizontal surface, as smooth as a dolphin breaking through the waves.

Yao Ye was sitting on the stand with his eyes wide open. He really wanted to applaud and say hello. After three months of absence, Liu Yang had a deeper understanding of butterfly swimming. The fluidity and rhythm of his body were like a gorgeous and gorgeous swimming on the water. The dance, full of spirituality and dazzling, made him admire like a visual feast.

Wang Yaxin looked at Liu Yang and murmured, "Yangyang's grades are good, and he is leading the tour, No.1."

"You can do it too." Yao Ye retracted his gaze, glanced at Wang Yaxin, and took the opportunity to enlighten him, "Have a good grasp of the mentality of the game, and find a suitable swimming degree in relaxation and tension, and you can succeed."

Just as Wang Yaxin was about to nod, he suddenly exclaimed, "I'm catching up."

Liu Yang's speed was extremely fast in the first 50 meters, and he was almost No.1 as soon as he entered the water. Jones in the seventh track bit him tightly, and was half an arm behind, and then the Portuguese player in the sixth track was half a body behind Jones. The Greek player in the third lane swims side by side with him. The gap between the four players is very short, and they are in the first group. After turning around at 7 meters, they are basically behind by more than one position.

But before turning around, Liu Yang suffered a little loss. When his arms completed a circle in the water and stretched out to the front, there was still a distance of 20 centimeters. He had to wait for the inertia of his body to make his palms touch the shore before turning around. Secondly, the regulation of the butterfly swimming competition must touch the shore with both hands to be effective. This delay, Jones, who had a very short gap, immediately overtook him. The Greek player also completed the turn beautifully, caught up with Liu Yang, and the Portuguese player in the sixth lane was still behind.

Currently, Jones ranks first in the group, and Liu Yang and Sandao's Greek players cannot be separated into second or third place.
