The three groups of juniors, youths and adults will compete separately.

Ji Ke swam freestyle, and the times of the freestyle events were staggered and did not conflict with each other, so he applied for all the freestyle events.

This can be regarded as his tactic. With so many entries, there is always one who can get the ranking.

The National Swimming League is the largest swimming event in China, and this game will be broadcast on the sports channel.

The game started to be broadcast at 06:30 in the morning. Ji's father and Ji's mother got up before [-]:[-] and finished their breakfast at [-]:[-]. Then they turned on the TV and started watching the game without even bothering to wash the dishes.

The first competition is the 50-meter freestyle for the men's group of the junior group.

Sports reporters at the game site interviewed several athletes at random, and Ji Ke was lucky to be one of them.

A female reporter in sportswear put the microphone in front of him and asked, "Which team are you from? What kind of results do you expect to achieve in this game?"

Ji Ke first smiled, and then said: "I'm an athlete from the Haicheng City team. My name is Ji Ke. For this competition... just give me a few awards."

The National Swimming League is divided into preliminaries and finals. Athletes who enter the finals can get certificates, and athletes who enter the top three can get trophies.

So Ji Ke said that it is enough to get the certificate, which means that he is very happy to enter the final.

The reporter showed a surprised expression when he heard the words, "Are you actually an athlete of the city team? I come to interview every year in the league. This is the first time I see an athlete of the city team."

"I'm bolder and my head is harder." Ji Ke teased himself, "So I think it's good if I can get a certificate. Like the 1500m, there is no preliminaries, and it's the final. If I participate, I can go back with the participation award, which is very good." of."

The reporter laughed a few times amused by him, asked some irrelevant questions, and then turned to ask the next person.

After the reporter left, Ji Ke clearly heard two athletes behind him discussing him.

It wasn't that they were expecting much malice, it could be heard from their tone that they were simply shocked, shocked that the level of the city team dared to participate in the league.

Ji Ke pretended not to listen and went to prepare for the game.

The 50-meter freestyle competition is about explosive power. There are a lot of people who signed up for this competition, and Xiao Jiu and Shi Yi from the two national teams also signed up.

Because of the large number of people, there are only eight swimming pool tracks, so the preliminaries still adopt the grouping mode.

32 people will be divided into four groups, and the top two in each group will enter the final.

Ji Ke was assigned to the second group. When warming up, he found that Gao Guowei was in the same group as him.

Gao Guowei also saw him, the two looked at each other, Gao Guowei grinned, and raised his hand at him, "Ji Ke!"

Meeting acquaintances in the arena, although they are also opponents, is still worth gratifying.

Ji Ke walked towards him, "What a coincidence, we are actually in a group."

Gao Guowei pressed his legs, "Yes, competitor, this is not a school sports meeting, I will do my best."

Ji Ke slightly bent his lips, "That's a good idea, I'm still afraid that you will let the water go."

The broadcast notified the players to take their positions, and Ji Ke and Gao Guowei went to the swimming pool together.

Ji Ke is on the fourth track, Gao Guowei is on the eighth track.

Without giving much time to prepare, the starter fired the gun.

At the same time as the gunshots fell, athletes from the eight tracks entered the water together.

That's right, they all entered the water at exactly the same second. The people present are all professional athletes. Their bodies have already formed memories of the gunshots. As long as they hear this sound, they don't need to think about it, and their bodies will respond. .

The time to enter the water is the same, so whoever reaches the finish line first will compete for speed.

You only need to swim one way for 50 meters, which is a test of explosive power, and it depends on who can rush to the other side in one go.

During these three months of devil training, Ji Ke not only trained his swimming speed and skills, but also learned one thing.

Empty your mind.

He forced himself to be single-minded, not to think about anything, and not to be disturbed by any external factors as long as he entered the swimming state.

This training proved to be useful, and when he actually put in the competition, it was a skill that allowed him not to be distracted by how fast or slow the other swimmers were.

Now that the distance of 50 meters is short, its usefulness may not be so obvious, and its role will be more reflected in the next 1500 meters.

Touching the wall of the swimming pool, Ji Ke broke through the water and took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat. When he came back to his senses, the athletes in other lanes had already reached the finish line.

Ji Ke didn't know that he was at the game site, but Ji's father and mother in front of the TV could see clearly.

The eight swimming lanes were photographed from above, and a number floated on each lane, which showed the ranking of the athletes on this track.

The number '1' is floating on the fourth track where Ji Ke is.

He is No.1.

Ji's father and Ji's mother hugged each other excitedly.

"No. [-]! Our son is No. [-]!"

"Oh, it's just the preliminaries, and there's also the finals. The first place at this moment just means the promotion."

"That's amazing, okay? Many people won't be able to advance to the next level! You didn't hear the announcement just now, how many athletes from the provincial team can't compare to our son!"

The athletes didn't know their results yet, so Ji Ke came out of the water and was going to ask Sun Xiangyang about the results.

Just two steps away, the female reporter who interviewed him before appeared again.

"Hello hello, excuse me, can I interview you?"

Ji Ke paused, pointed to himself, with a surprised expression on his face, "Me?"

He reacted randomly, and said, "Yes."

The reporter looked very excited, "Do you know how many times you swam?"

Ji Ke shook his head.

"Didn't you pay attention just now?"

Ji Ke still shook his head, "There will not be a big gap between everyone at 50 meters. I was a little out of breath at that time. When I realized it, everyone had reached the finish line."

"It turns out that's the case, let me tell you," the reporter decided not to hold back, "You swam No.1 just now! It took 25 seconds and 49 seconds!"

Ji Ke's eyes widened slightly, "I'm number one?"

He wasn't surprised when he used it, he would record it during training, but what surprised him was that he was number one in the group?

"Yes! Congratulations on your promotion!"

After the reporter left, Ji Ke went to find Sun Xiangyang, and he didn't have any real feelings until he returned to the coach.

Although it was only the preliminaries, he actually swam first? !

Sun Xiangyang patted him on the shoulder, "That's great, you're off to a good start! Keep up the good work! Don't talk about winning the certificate, I think you have a great chance of winning the trophy!"

Ji Ke hummed, "Actually, I didn't expect that I would win the first place. My speed is still a little short of the goal set in the usual training. The training goal is set according to the champions of the league in previous years. There is a gap between me and the goal. Why? Will you take the first place?"

"First of all, your training goal is set based on the time spent by the league champions in previous years. Now it's the preliminaries. It's not an exaggeration that your time is only close to the champion's first place in the preliminaries."

Sun Xiangyang said: "Secondly, when you set your training goals for yourself, you reduced the champion's time by five seconds. Are you stupid for training every day, and even forget this?"

Ji Ke brushed his hair slowly.

Don't say it, I really forgot.

Just like saving money has become a habit, and every month, a little bit is taken out of the existing funds. Over time, you will forget that you have so much money every month, not the amount after you finish picking.

After the preliminaries, it was the finals. During the preparations for the finals, Gao Guowei came to him.

With an indescribable expression on Gao Guowei's face, he looked Ji Ke carefully from top to bottom, and then asked: "Brother, what have you been doing for the past three months? I remember that you were not at this level last time I saw you?"

Gao Guowei ranked fourth in the competition group, unfortunately he did not advance to the final.

Ji Ke said: "I didn't do anything, just training. Training every day, non-stop training, training from morning to night, except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet. Training is still training until last night."

Hearing the last sentence, Gao Guowei showed an expression of sudden realization, "I heard them discussing that an athlete from the city team came here and still insists on training every day. They are talking about you."

"I don't know, maybe it is."

Gao Guowei gave him a thumbs up, "You are so awesome, I think we can become teammates in a short time."

Ji Ke smiled, "I hope."

The broadcast sounded again, reminding the athletes to take their positions.

In the short distance from the rest area to the swimming pool, Ji Ke felt countless gazes on him, either probing or hostile.

There are countless discussions about him, some say that he is very good, some say that he must be lucky to win the first place as a player of the city team.

But no matter what they say or how they look at it, Ji Ke doesn't care.

He walked to the pool as if he hadn't heard anything.

The 50-meter final begins, and the athletes enter the water together.

There were Xiao Jiu and Shi Shi in the final, and Ji Ke knew that it was impossible for him to win the first place again.

Fortunately, he had forced himself to train before to let his brain clear and concentrate, otherwise he might really think too much if he won the first place in the preliminaries and met the national team athletes.

In the final, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

Equally nervous was Ji's father and mother Ji who watched the game wringing their fingers in front of the TV.

The whole game did not exceed half a minute, but it seemed as long as several hours.

Finally, the water surface broke, and the first athlete to reach the finish line came out.

Immediately after the second and third... until the eighth.

The athletes surfaced, the camera switched to an overhead shot, and each lane was marked with a ranking.

Ji Ke is still in the fourth lane, and the number of his lane has changed slightly, from '1' to '2'.

In the men's 50-meter final of the National Swimming League Junior Group, Ji Ke ranked second and runner-up.
