Swimmer of Rebirth

The World Youth Championship has entered the final stage. According to the schedule, all events should be completed within this day.

But shortly after dinner that day, all participating teams received a notice from the Japanese organizer. In order to allow all Japanese audiences to watch the swimming competition, the Japanese media will set up seven cameras in the swimming pool. Live broadcast, and the order of the competition will be adjusted, the final of the long-distance swimming event will be held in the morning, the middle and long-distance swimming event will be held in the afternoon, and all short-distance events will be held in prime time, which is 19:00-21:00.

In this regard, all participating teams were noncommittal, and it is normal to temporarily adjust the order of the competition. Since IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch reformed the Olympic Games into a professional and commercial one, the broadcast rights of the Olympic Games have made everyone envious At the same time, I also deeply fell in love with this kind of sports prosperity that represents the highest stage in the world, so I was drawn to it. The small-scale world events that were originally circulated in the sports circle gradually appeared before the eyes of the world through media reports, and then became popular. Learn to be followed.

This is a benign development. Human beings cannot lack of sports. Sports can make people healthy and have a clear mind. Then more people enter the sports circle. Good seedlings are discovered one after another. World records are broken one after another. It is an endless challenge. More human limits.

As athletes, standing on the podium is their ultimate dream, but when conditions permit, they can attract the attention of the world, no one will refuse the benefits that come with being famous, athletes, coaches, and even So are the countries they represent behind their backs.

So no one would raise any objections, and in silence, all the athletes who had reached the finals were reassigned.

A total of 40 of the 16 athletes participating in the Chinese representative team entered the finals, including Liu Yang, Ye Shuwen and Xu Han. He has the strength to win gold, and Ye Shuwen also has a great chance to win a medal in the 100-meter disc.

Because there are not many players entering the finals of the two groups at the same time, after the coach finished the adjusted game arrangement in detail, he left 5 players who will play two games on the same day, three women and two men, one for each In other words, instruct them on how to preserve their strength and make sacrifices when necessary.

The interval between Xu Han's two games was quite long. When the coach talked about Xu Han, he just asked him if he had any questions, and then stood in front of Liu Yang after the opponent nodded affirmatively.

The coach looked at Liu Yang and was silent for a while, then said earnestly, "Liu Yang, you should know what I want to say to you, right?"

"I know." Liu Yang frowned tightly, "But I don't want to give up the 100-meter butterfly, and I will definitely try my best to achieve results."

"The interval between before and after is less than an hour, and the butterfly stroke is ahead of the freestyle, do you think it is necessary?"

"It is necessary. I believe in myself." After Liu Yang finished speaking, he looked into the coach's eyes without blinking.It's only an hour, and I have swum thousands of meters and tens of thousands of meters on weekdays, advancing in sweat. What is it for today? To prove myself, to see how far I have reached, to tell myself, All the hard work over the past few years has been worth it.

This is his battlefield, what cowardly greets must be regret, even if it is a small hope, he must firmly hold on to it.

The coach wanted to yell nonsense, and wanted to ask Liu Yang if he knew what a game was, and if he knew that sacrifice was to usher in victory, but looking at those black and white eyes, he couldn't say anything, he was hesitating , he was in a dilemma because of the determination and drive in his eyes. He likes people who firmly believe in himself, and he appreciates young people who are constantly sprinting forward. It is a kind of vigor, and the fighting spirit that an athlete must possess, but He is a coach, he needs to point out the direction for the players when they are impulsive and confused, and it is his responsibility to arrange the game reasonably and carefully.

In the end, the coach said the result after thinking, "Your butterfly stroke state is very unstable. I don't know what has affected your emotions during this period, and I won't ask you, but you have to think carefully. Give me an answer in the end, have you confirmed that you have adjusted yourself?"

"Coach, I've already adjusted." Liu Yang replied affirmatively. The clarity of his relationship with Yao Ye accompanied the entire competition, and the ups and downs of emotions kept appearing again and again, but except for the butterfly swimming competition in the morning, the adjustment time was too hasty. In addition, he can perfectly control his state before each game. He is confident that after a night of adjustments, he will definitely appear on the field full of emotions tomorrow.

The coach smiled disapprovingly at Liu Yang's quick answer, "Even if you tried your best and still failed in the 100-meter disc swimming, or even finished last, are you sure it won't affect the 100-meter freestyle?"

Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, speechless for a moment. In fact, he had never considered this possibility. He held the same attitude towards the butterfly swimming competition as he did in freestyle, thinking that it would not be impossible for him to adjust his mentality and win a medal, but the last place……

"Okay." Seeing Liu Yang's hesitation, the coach said with a straight face, "You go back first, Liu Yang, go back and think about it, and come to me in at least an hour."

Several team members turned around obediently and left. Xu Han took two steps. Seeing Liu Yang still standing there staring at the coach, he hooked his neck and pulled him out of the door.

Standing at the door, Xu Han stared at the angry Liu Yang for a while with a paralyzed face, and finally burst out four words, "Go to Yao Ye." Then he disappeared in front of Liu Yang gracefully with his back .

To put it bluntly, Liu Yang and Yao Ye, Liu Yang has the upper hand in dealing with emotions, but he is indeed much worse than Yao Ye in swimming, whether it is physical strength, technique or grasp of the game. The only thing that can be achieved is the mentality adjustment that can be put on the table, but compared with Yao Ye, it is only good.

Of course, when facing swimming Liu Yang is rarely hypocritical, he just asks when he doesn't understand, until he asks clearly.

It's a pity that Young Master Yao didn't think so. Before dinner, he was stimulated by Liu Yang's words. When he opened the door, he saw Liu Yang. .

Young Master Yao blushed, and Liu Yang felt something was wrong with him. He was right in what he said, and it was the result of careful consideration, but seeing Yao Ye's bleeding state again, he had to admit, He overestimated the degree of openness of people in this era. He originally thought that if the two of them solved it with each other's hands, there would be nothing to say, but guessing Yao Ye's thoughts, it should be that the two of them fell in love and held hands without actually having sex. state.

Of course, he definitely didn't despise Young Master Yao's innocence, and even liked it even more, but it's a bit embarrassing to be on the face of this young man who is nearly 1.90 just because of a single sentence.

So Liu Yang thought for a while, afraid that if he really entered the room, the person would get worse, so he opened his mouth directly at the door, and told him about the coach who asked him to give up the butterfly after the game order was revised.

Yao Ye listened carefully. After Liu Yang finished speaking, he blinked, remained silent, and then said, "Then give up butterfly swimming."

Liu Yang stared, "You think so too?"

"En." Yao Ye responded, and within two seconds, his brows suddenly frowned, and he grabbed Liu Yang's hand, "Wait a minute, let me think about it, let me think about it, how about this," Yao Ye said The door was wide open, and he leaned sideways, "You go into the room and wait, I have something to ask you."

After entering the room, Yao Ye thoughtfully sat down next to Liu Yang, thought for a while, and then suddenly raised his head and asked him, "What happened when you reached the semi-finals of 100? Why did you suddenly improve so much?"

Liu Yang recalled the memory at that time, and then stretched out his arm forward. The finger on the other side slid and pulled on his shoulder, and then slid down to the position of the deltoid muscle, passed the biceps brachii and stopped at the joint, then moved the finger away, and moved forward. The outstretched arm was raised high, and the fingers moved from the armpit all the way to the waist, and finally lowered the arm. Liu Yang made a comparison on his elbow and said, "Then come here."

Yao Ye tilted his head to see his inexplicable movements, and began to associate the meanings in his head.

Liu Yang laughed, "Let's put it this way, we learn to swim in the water to find the sense of water, to practice swimming strokes, and to train our muscles when we get into the water, right?"

"En." Yao Ye nodded, still not understanding what Liu Yang meant.

"The feeling of water is formed by accumulating little by little at ordinary times, constantly swimming, and constantly improving." Liu Yang said.

"Yes, although swimming also depends on talent, but acquired hard work is still the most important."

"So far, I am still very satisfied with my grasp of the water feeling, but it was very strange at the time of the competition. I suddenly discovered a more reasonable use of power. It is very strange. I can't describe it specifically. Get twice the result with half the effort, it’s obviously the same posture and the same frequency as usual, but there is a feeling of speeding up, very relaxed, you understand?” Liu Yang talked intermittently while recalling, and after he finished speaking, he was eager to learn. His eyes turned to Yao Ye.

Yao Ye raised his eyebrows, thought for a while without a solution, and simply gestured twice to stroke the water, shook his head thoughtfully, frowned and asked Liu Yang, "You mean the feeling has become faster, and It's an easy, sensible use of strength, right?"

"En." Liu Yang nodded.

"What about before? How did it feel during the game?"

"It's okay, it's not too bad, so after savoring this kind of muscle power use, it's amazing that it's so much faster."

Yao Ye suddenly hugged Liu Yang, said something stupid, and kissed Liu Yang on the forehead. Liu Yang raised his head in doubt and saw the inexplicable heartache on Yao Ye's face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yao Ye said, "You must have suffered a lot to get to where you are today. No wonder I have seen your muscles develop so quickly in the past two years."

"Eh!?" Liu Yang blinked and didn't understand.

"How do you say it?" Yao Ye smiled, "Don't be angry when you say it, you...you are so stupid, you seem so smart, why did you focus on physical training? Uncle didn't talk to you. Did you say that you need to go into the water more to find the feeling?"

"..." Liu Yang didn't say anything, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that there was something wrong with his training, so he quietly waited for Yao Ye's next summary.

Yao Ye let go of Liu Yang, and flicked on the top of Liu Yang's forehead, "I always thought that the reason you have improved so fast in the past two years is because of the improved sense of water and the reasonable use of strength, so it turns out that you are going head to head. Swimming affects the muscles of the whole body, right? But in different swimming styles, there are also different aspects of emphasis. If the force of a part of the muscles is missing, the rest will be too strenuous, and it is easy to cause premature muscle soreness and weakness, so it must be Arrange the transmission of power, where it starts and where it ends, in fact, how it starts and ends and where it goes through, I really can’t explain it to you in detail, this is a physical feeling, a habit formed, You can compare the route before and after the change, what’s more, then I think you will understand.”

Yao Ye made it very clear that even though he did not specify a specific route, Liu Yang still noticed the changes in his body before and after the game. He has always used the muscles of his legs, hands and abdomen habitually, and he has never imagined moving his body. What kind of changes will be made when the side muscles are added to it? Maybe he has been using it all the time, but it is not as obvious as in the 100 semi-finals. After all, the sudden addition of unfamiliar forces may cause more dangerous conflicts, which will affect the results. , and usually because there is no pressure, I will not do these exercises that seem to be superfluous.

When Liu Yang understood this, he was excited, more muscles were moved, and more power appeared in his body, just like a mysterious door suddenly opened in front of him, and countless things could be found inside after unremitting exploration. treasure.

However, despite the excitement, Liu Yang felt a little bit sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He had been working hard for so long, but he was walking on the fork in the road, and when he thought of Yao Ye's head-on words, he almost shed a manly tear. .

Yao Ye rubbed Liu Yang's head, "Okay, this matter is settled, then let's talk about your final tomorrow."

"En." Liu Yang nodded feebly, "What do you think?"

"I have to ask you, are you confident?"

"Of course." Liu Yang raised his chin, raised his eyebrows, and straightened his back with a bit of confidence. If he was a little guilty when he answered the coach with such enthusiasm a moment ago, then now, he believes I will definitely be better than myself, look for problems, understand problems, solve problems, come over step by step, and then my confidence will be continuously expanded.

Yao Ye said with a faint smile, "Let's compare. Coaches are not athletes. They cannot fully grasp the mentality of the players, especially the players' desire for victory and desire to challenge themselves. Their caution and Reason can give us stability, but most of the time, what we rely on is this unyielding momentum."

"Enthusiasm... yes..." Liu Yang expressed his feelings, relaxed his body and pressed against Yao Ye, and touched his forehead lightly, "Tell me... don't we look like a hair with circles of steel wires in its belly?" Toys? Usually training is the process of tightening the mainspring, and the game is the moment when the mainspring is released after being tightened.”

Yao Ye was silent for a while, "I would rather you describe it as a charging robot, a toy..."

Liu Yang laughed, "Come on, Mr. Yao, you have already changed qualitatively. You have completely upgraded from a toy to a robot. I said, Mr. Optimus Prime, help me find a way to swim in a pool? I always feel that this matter It's unreliable, don't let me look for it again, I'm afraid it will be messed up again tomorrow."

"Of order, my little boy, do you want me to turn into a big truck and drive you there?" Scholar Yao Ye's eyes lit up with a smile, and he looked deeply at Liu Yang.

My little boy, my love, I am so happy to be your light, to guide you through the darkness, as you...brought me the sunshine.
