[Competition] The Road to Champion of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace

Ao Ling showed a big smile to his brother Qi Yi, and then he remembered that after the preliminaries of the 100-meter freestyle, there will be the preliminaries of the 100-meter breaststroke, and Qi Yi also came down early for inspection.

The two were wearing swimming trunks and the same blue and white sportswear on the outside. Standing together was quite eye-catching. There were several female players from other teams holding their mobile phones in the stands next to them, and they kept admiring : "Wow, he looks so cute!"

When Ao Ling heard someone praise her for being cute, she immediately raised her head, the smile still remained on her face just now, just happened to be caught by a few girls.

A long whistle sounded on the field, and eight athletes stepped onto the starting platform.The start command sounded, and eight people jumped into the water at the same time.

Ao Ling restrained her smile, turned her head and looked at Qi Yi, and the two of them knew each other.

Li Sichen ranked first from the moment he entered the water. His swimming speed was faster than usual, but it was not difficult to see that he had reservations.

When the race was about 30 meters away, Ao Ling raised his head to look at the time, then turned around and said to Qi Yi, "This won't work, he has no reference at all."

The expression on Qi Yi's face was very indifferent, and there was almost no sign of worry: "This is the game. We will face all kinds of unexpected things, and how to deal with them is also one of the tests."

Ao Ling looked at the swimming pool thoughtfully, turned around at 50 meters, Li Sichen was still in the first place, and was half a distance away from No. The time was more than one second slower than the previous group.

Although Li Sichen started to speed up when he turned around, it was too late, and with no reference nearby, he had no way of predicting where he would be in the overall ranking.

Ao Ling knew in his heart that Li Sichen was not a bad person in nature, he was just a little too thoughtful, and he was very willing to give some precious sympathy to the weak, but it was difficult to accept that someone who was clearly weaker than him would surpass him one day.

Most people have the jealousy caused by this kind of psychological gap, but the degree is different.Ao Ling has a pure heart, so she will not demand that everyone has a perfect personality.

Although the relationship between them is not very good, after all, they came to the provincial team together, and Li Sichen is a member of Fu Xingtu. Ao Ling sincerely hopes that he will have a good result.

Just when Ao Ling was distracted, the competition was over, and Li Sichen got the first place in the group. When he got up from the swimming pool, he was still a little excited, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

Ao Ling whispered, "His grades can only be ranked in the top five."

Qi Yi glanced at the big screen. So far, the overall ranking of the contestants has not been given. That is to say, Ao Ling made this judgment now because he memorized all the results of at least the top four in the first two groups.

This kid has such a good memory, why does it seem like killing him to recite vocabulary?

Qi Yi turned around, helped Ao Ling adjust his swimming cap for the last time, held his shoulders with both hands, and said with a serious expression: "Don't be influenced by irrelevant people and things, focus on your own game, go. "

The eight athletes line up in the order of the lanes and walk into the field under the guidance of the inspectors. There is a chair in front of each lane, and the athletes can sit down and make final preparations.

There is a packing box next to the chair. The athletes put towels and clothes in it. If it is a 50-meter race, volunteers will transport all the packing boxes to the opposite bank during the race. The starting point of other events is the finish line, so there is no need for this .

The broadcast introduced the provinces and names of the athletes in each lane in turn. Ao Ling was in the seventh lane, which was not a very good position.

As we all know, the fourth and fifth lanes are the two best lanes. The lanes on both sides have extremely poor vision. Athletes can only see the situation around them. The impact of grades cannot be ignored.

The swim lanes for the preliminaries are all arranged according to the registration results, whichever lane they are assigned to, there is no room for choice.

Hearing the reminder to take their positions, Ao Ling stepped onto the starting platform.

This is already the first game this morning. Ao Ling realized something was wrong after standing up, but at this time the game is about to start, and he has no time to take care of so much, so he can only concentrate on listening to the instructions.

Separate your feet back and forth, bend your front legs slightly, step on the platform with your back feet, look forward, and keep your eyes on the water entry point. When you hear the starting command, push off the starting platform hard.

The last group of the 100m freestyle preliminaries officially started. In the stands, Liang Fan and Shen Fei stood up at the same time, and there was a "puchi" sound around them, the kind of laughter that wanted to laugh but had some scruples to hold back.

"What's the situation with him, this posture of entering the water is too funny."

"I'm so nervous, you almost cried without seeing his expression just now."

"This is only the first competition. He has signed up for so many events. What will he do next?"

"Don't think about the back, think about the present, look at the strength of this group, he started much slower than others, there is no suspense at the bottom of the group, I just hope not to be left too far, that would be too shameful."

"..."

The voice of this discussion was so small that it was barely audible in the crowded swimming pool. Shen Fei's attention was all in the swimming pool, and he didn't have the heart to train others.

Seeing Ao Ling's mistake when setting off, Liang Fan and Shen Fei glanced at each other, and immediately turned to look at Fu Xingtu, but the latter still folded his arms around his chest, sitting there calmly, without even frowning.

Mistakes at the start greatly affected an athlete's subsequent performance. The moment he got into the water, Ao Ling saw splashes in the two swimming lanes next to him—both opponents were in front of him.

The situation just now was forgotten by Ao Ling in an instant. Now that the accident had happened, the previously arranged strategy had to be adjusted. He had to find a way to make up for the disadvantage at the time of departure, and catch up without distraction.

The butterfly legs rose out of the water, directly skipping the stretching state to connect with the freestyle rower. When everyone was seeking stability in the first 50 meters, he had already started to speed up the frequency of strokes.

At about 25 meters, Ao Ling observed the situation in the sixth lane next to him by breathing sideways, and was surprised to find that the opponent was still half a head faster than him.

Ao Ling didn't dare to relax at all. She paddled and held the water vigorously with her arms, maintaining a relatively fast alternating frequency. Her two legs slapped the water surface quickly, splashing crystal waves.

After turning around at 50 meters, Ao Ling looked at the opponent around him again. He still firmly maintained the advantage of half a head ahead of him, and gradually began to speed up.

Limited by the original owner's physical fitness, physical fitness has always been Ao Ling's weakness.Because of a mistake at the start, he did not choose to keep his strength in the early stage, but was in a relatively fast sprint stage. In the last 30 meters, he was somewhat lacking in stamina.

The vision in the seventh lane is not good, and he uses one side to breathe. Ao Ling can only see the opponent in the sixth lane beside him.There was only one thought in his mind: "The prince must surpass him, I cannot be the last."

However, as he speeded up, the opponent also accelerated. He increased the frequency of strokes, and the opponent also accelerated the frequency of strokes. The distance to the finish line was getting closer and closer. Although the gap between Ao Ling and the opponent gradually narrowed, they still failed to surpass the opponent.

The moment his head came out of the water, Ao Ling only felt that his ears were full of buzzing sounds, he couldn't hear anything clearly, and his eyes were densely packed with phantoms of the lights above his head.

No time to look at the results, Ao Ling could only take a deep breath, then quickly immersed in the pool water, and spit out a series of small bubbles. After repeated several times, he felt that he had returned to the world.

After crossing the waterline and going ashore from the side sprint, Ao Ling had a chance to take a look at the report card on the big screen.

However, the results of their group have already been shown, and now the big screen shows the list of finalists.

No.1, He Jiarui, R Province.

Ao Ling didn't remember who this person was at the first moment, and then his eyes fell on the next name.

No.2, Aoling, Province C.

Well, he turned out to be No.2? ? ?

This was simply a surprise, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Ao Ling's face, and he immediately looked in the direction of Fu Xingtu on the stand.

The other party happened to be looking at him, and the moment the two eyes met, I saw Director Fu curl his lips, showing a less sinister smile.

It was a rare event to see him smile sincerely. Ao Ling turned her head contentedly and read the list of finals.

When he saw the last name, he was surprised to find that there was no Li Sichen in this list!

In other words, because five people in their group ranked in the top eight, and Li Sichen, who swam first in the third group, didn't even make it to the final! ! !
