hand over talents to the country

The referee blows the whistle, and everyone takes their positions.

With a "bang" gunshot, the eight contestants standing by the swimming pool jumped into the water like arrows from their bows.

The water in the swimming pool is like a barrier, separating the audience from the athletes, and the shouts are also blurred at this moment.

The vision in the water is not clear, and Ji Ke has no time to look at the students on the left and right sides.

He thought he could still stay relaxed during the race, but in fact, after entering the water, the only thing in his mind was to row his arms desperately and swim forward as hard as he could.

The tiles on the opposite side of the swimming pool gradually grew larger, and he was getting closer and closer to touching the opposite wall.

There is the sound of water splashing in my ears, not only his, but also other people's.

Now, everyone in this swimming pool is doing their best to deal with this game.

From the corner of the eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure, who was in an unknown swimming lane, passing him at a slow speed.

Of course, the slowness is only relative to his speed, which is still very fast in the eyes of the audience.

But even if it is only slow compared to him, it also shows one thing——

He was overtaken.

Ji Ke put his head out of the water, took a deep breath, and then entered the water, the strength on his arms involuntarily increased, and the speed of his calves swinging faster.

Speed, speed.

Faster, he wants to go faster.

This is his first game, although this game is not formal, it doesn't matter if he loses, but this is his first time, the first game he decides to become an athlete, he must win!

When he touched the wall of the swimming pool, Ji Ke used his thrust to swipe backwards for a few meters. Then, on the basis of this speed, he desperately increased the strength of his body swing, and swam towards the finish line with all his strength.

The figure that was still in his peripheral vision just now was thrown behind at some point, and there was no one in sight of the entire swimming pool.

The students suddenly boiled over, and they couldn't hear what the audience said clearly in the water. They could only vaguely catch a few key words, such as 'beyond', 'come on', 'beautiful' and so on.

Ji Ke didn't know who the boiling was for, and who the cheering was for. He only had one idea in his mind now.

To win, not to relax, to win!

Putting his hands on the wall of the swimming pool, Ji Ke emerged from the water, and at the same time, the whistle sounded.

Ji Ke lay on the edge of the pool to adjust his breathing. He was not used to swimming too fast just now.

I have to say that the people in the swimming club are really good. The person he saw surpassing him just now should be Wu Nian.

I thought it would be no problem for him to take the first place in the level, but I didn't expect that he had to try his best to barely surpass...

Um?No, is it too high?

When he swam back, he remembered that he should have passed, because he didn't see anyone in front of him at that time, but in the last ten meters, all he wanted was to force himself to swim faster, so in the end, whether he passed or passed. No, he doesn't know either.

Ji Ke almost breathed steadily, looked up and looked around, and saw Wu Nian in the swimming lane next door.

The other party was lying on the edge of the swimming pool like him, but his head was turned towards him. As soon as he turned his head, he met the other party's deep eyes.

Wu Nian was watching him.

Ji Ke had a guess in his mind, and it seemed that he was the first one.

The eight contestants came up from the swimming pool one after another. Ji Ke found that it was not only Wu Nian who was observing him, but also all the classmates outside the swimming pool watching the competition.

Especially the classmate who was holding the Wunian support card on the opposite side looked at him with horror in his eyes, as if he turned into a Tesla after taking a dip in the water.

The sports committee in the class ran over to hand him towels and water, and said three shits in one breath, "Ji Ke, you are too awesome?! You won the first place! You surpassed Wu Nian !"

Ji Ke took the thermos in his hand, took a sip of warm water, and nodded.

Against the backdrop of the sports committee, he was a little too calm.

It was his abnormal calmness that successfully made the sports committee, like Wu Nian's little fans, watch his expression change from shock to horror.

"You didn't say anything? You surpassed Wu Nian!" The sports committee said: "Wu Nian! Wu Nian of the Volley Swimming Club! The level of Wu Nian can enter the provincial team!"

"I know." Ji Ke looked at him strangely, "I am the first in the 100-meter preliminaries group, ahead of Wu Nian, and it is written in the score book. You think my understanding is not good, so you specially give it to me Explain it again?"

"No..." The sports committee groaned, "I'm not saying you can't read the score book, I just want to tell you that Wu Nian has the strength to enter the provincial swimming team!"

"Do you know the concept of a provincial swimming team? It means that Wu Nian is a professional athlete!"

"Oh——" Ji Ke nodded, "I see, thank you for your popular science."

After he finished speaking, it happened that the physical education teacher over there called the athletes from the first group of 100 meters to come over. He told the sports committee and left.

The sports committee didn't react until after saying hello, no!Why is Ji Ke still so calm after explaining how powerful Wu Nian is? !

The 100-meter preliminaries are divided into four groups. Ji Ke is in the first group, followed by the other three groups of preliminaries.

Ji Ke reported all the four small events of 100, [-], [-], and [-]. In other words, after the [-]-meter preliminaries were over, he would have to compete non-stop in the [-]-meter preliminaries.

This morning, he was able to finish all the preliminaries of the four small events. In order not to be affected by the competition later, he needs to rest quickly and relax his muscles.

Everyone saw the competition just now, and everyone at the scene knew that a classmate named Class [-] of the second year of junior high school surpassed Wu Nian, an athlete of the quasi-provincial swimming team.

Ji Ke's name spread instantly in the junior high school of Longchuan Middle School, reaching everyone's ears like thunder.

In the third group of the 100-meter preliminaries, Ji Ke was still in the stands, watching the competition below while relaxing his calf muscles.

There were quite a few classmates around, some of them watched the game with real feelings, and some came to see him.

Ji Ke has long been used to being watched by everyone, he didn't care about his surroundings, and only concentrated on the audience.

Suddenly, a shadow came down from above, Ji Ke was taken aback, raised his head, and saw a tall boy.

Gao Guowei.

Gao Guowei was assigned to the second group in the 100-meter preliminaries. He had just finished the competition. Not surprisingly, he won the first place in the preliminaries.

Seeing Ji Ke raised his head, Gao Guowei twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, as if he had smiled, and then sat down beside him.

"Wu Nian is very strong, you can surpass him, it's very powerful."

Ji Ke nodded, "Thank you for the compliment."

Gao Guowei rested his chin on one hand, looked at the swimming pool below the stage, and exuded a lazy breath all over his body, "When did you start swimming? I feel like I've never heard of you before."

"The official start of swimming should be last month."

After Ji Ke finished answering, Gao Guowei, who had always been careless and lazy, frowned all of a sudden, and his gaze was no longer casually placed in the swimming pool under the stage, but turned to him.

Not understanding why the other party reacted this way, Ji Ke raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Gao Guowei shook his head, but his expression remained stiff, "You only practiced for a month? Where did you practice? The club? Which coach did you follow?"

"It's not a club. I just joined the city team last month. I haven't received systematic training before, but I have learned it." Ji Ke said: "My family used to live near the river and lived by fishing. I've been able to swim since I can remember, but I don't know exactly when I learned it."

Hearing such an explanation, Gao Guowei's complexion not only did not improve, but became even uglier.

He said: "I just joined the city team last month, and I have been training systematically since last month. That is to say, you have never practiced swimming before entering the city team. Coach picks."

Seeing Ji Ke's puzzled expression, Gao Guowei smiled and explained: "It's okay, I'm just a little sour, your talent really makes me jealous."

Ji Ke thought it was funny, "You already entered the provincial team last year, and this year you have participated in the national competition. Why are you making me angry?"

Gao Guowei gave him a cool look, "Stupid birds are naturally sour about talents."

"You think you're a stupid bird, and I'm a talented person?"

"if not??"

Ji Ke lowered his eyes and thought about it for a while. After three seconds, he raised his eyes again and said to Gao Guowei seriously: "I lived by the river since I was a child, and learned to walk and swim at the same time. It is inevitable that I am good at swimming under such an environment. Just being good at swimming doesn't necessarily mean you're talented."

"The threshold for the city team is low. I can swim better than the average kid who lived in the city, so it is easy to meet the standard of the city team."

"And even if I'm really a very talented player, you don't have to be bitter, because we are far from the time to compete for talent at this stage, and now we will not be able to compete for talent for a long time."

"You think I am the number one airborne, but in fact, I am able to surpass Wu Nian today because of years of unscrupulous practice and a month of hard-working serious practice. Talent may be there, but I think hard work accounts for 90.00% nine .”

"And..." Ji Ke paused, slightly bent his lower lip, "Being so talented by the provincial team athletes, I feel like I've been caught."

Gao Guowei laughed out loud, and the stiffness and unnaturalness on his face disappeared, "I think you are not the same as what they said."

Ji Ke raised his eyebrows, "What did they say about me?"

Words such as 'pretentious', 'difficult to get along with', 'tempered' and 'not qualified' flashed through Gao Guowei's mind, but he shook his head and said nothing.

"It's not a good thing, you'd better not listen to it. Well, anyway, I think what you said to them is much worse. Seeing is believing. Hearing is not advisable."

The 200-meter preliminaries start to check.

Ji Ke and Gao Guowei went to the inspection office together and ran into Wu Nian.

Wu Nian greeted the two with a smile, and was especially enthusiastic towards Ji Ke, as if he was not angry because he was passed in the previous 100-meter preliminaries.

But Ji Ke remembered the way the other party looked at him before. Although he was smiling on the surface, he paid more attention to Wu Nian.

I was lucky in the 200m preliminaries. Among the athletes in Ji Ke's group, there were no very good athletes.

This game was much easier, and I took the first place without much effort.

The following preliminaries of [-] and [-] were the same. The teams Ji Ke was assigned to were all amateur players.

He took the first place in the preliminaries of the four small events, and Gao Guowei was the only one with the same level.

So at the end of the sports meeting at noon, the name of Ji Ke became even more resounding. Eight out of ten students eating in the cafeteria were discussing Ji Ke, and the remaining two didn't care much about the sports meeting and were gossiping.

Ji Ke lives on campus at noon, and during lunch break, he goes to the cafeteria to eat with his roommates.

As soon as he found a good place to sit down, he saw someone sitting next to him with a plate.

It's his class teacher, Li Na.

Ji Ke hurriedly put down his chopsticks to say hello to the teacher. Li Na smiled at him, "Don't be nervous, I just saw you, so I'll come over to chat with you and ask you a few questions."

"Okay, teacher, you ask."

Li Na thought for a while, "I watched the swimming competition this morning. There was a quasi-provincial team athlete in our school who was overtaken by you. The teacher thinks you are quite talented in swimming. Have you considered taking advantage of your specialty?" way?"

Fearing that Ji Ke would feel uncomfortable, she hurriedly explained: "The teacher didn't say that you are not suitable for studying or something. I just think that if you have talent in sports, then use it and don't waste it."

"Practicing sports is not a bad thing. In the cultural class, the entrance examination will be much lower than ordinary students. I will become a physical education teacher in the future. I will be liked by the students. It is not shameful to say it, and the treatment is also good."

"How about it? Do you want to think about it? Our school also has a swimming teacher. You can go and talk to the teacher about what you want to specialize in."

"Ah... I'm going to practice swimming." Ji Ke said, "But I shouldn't need to find a physical education teacher. I'm already in the city's swimming team."

"Well, it's best if you have the idea of ​​practicing swimming... What?! You've joined the city's sports team?"

In Li Na's impression, Ji Ke was a very rebellious child. She was still thinking about how to persuade him to agree to practice sports, but the child said that he had joined the team? !

"Yes." Ji Ke replied: "Didn't I drop out of school for a week before, and joining the city team happened in that week, because I didn't say anything about it when I wasn't in school."

"Then didn't you go back to school soon? Why didn't you come and tell me?"

It will be easier for students with special sports skills to enter high school, and being admitted to high school as a special sports student is counted in the school's enrollment rate.

Even if they are not admitted to high school, it is the honor of the school that a student can enter the city team, provincial team or even the national team, and the general school will make clear statistics.

Many students also know this, so if they can enter the city team, they will definitely report to the school as soon as possible.

Ji Ke: "Because I feel that the gold content of the city team players is not very high, I am not too embarrassed to say it. But since you asked, it is not a shameful thing, so I will tell you."

"You child!" Li Na didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, "It's a good thing to join the market team. Others are eager to tell it and let the whole world know. Why are you still hiding it?"

"Be humble when you should be humble, be humble when you shouldn't be!"

Li Na paused, then asked again: "You said you don't think the city team has a high gold content, so I'm sorry to say it, but what you mean is that you plan to go to a higher place in the future?"

This question was reserved, but Ji Ke understood what she meant. Li Na wanted to ask him if he would work hard on swimming.

Ji Ke nodded, "I have some ideas, I want to be a professional swimmer."

"However, it's not easy to be a professional athlete. It's a long road. I've only reached the city team now. I'm not [-]% sure that I will succeed."

"I just feel now... let's try it first, try my best to train, and go as far as I can."

Li Na looked into his eyes, and after a while, she showed a gratified smile, "Okay, I was afraid that you would feel tired from practicing sports and didn't want to, so I typed a draft to persuade you to agree before coming here. Think about it."

"But this time I'm happy to worry too much."

She sighed, feeling very emotional, "Ji Ke, you have really grown up."
