cut the waves

Su Liao changed his search target from swimming marathon champions over the years to athletes who had lost in this event.

Soon, Yu Yu realized that there is no fixed routine for the champion, but the stories of failure are surprisingly similar, that is, the plan originally made by the athletes was accidentally disrupted in the middle of the sea.

For example, some athletes collided with their teammates during the sprint stage, which led to a yellow card warning from the referee, which made them flustered and lost their rhythm; The crowd gave up that round of supplies, disrupting the rhythm of the sprint.He himself is also the same. For example, in the practice match last week, he was delayed because of supplies, and he exerted his strength in advance in order to recover his ranking, which resulted in his inability to exert strength in the final sprint.

In the swimming pool, the race schedule is divided into 25 or [-]-meter lanes, and Yu Yu has a very clear sense of speed control.However, once he is thrown into the sea, the coordinates that help him locate all disappear, and there will be other players around him that will affect his prediction of speed.At this time, a clear rhythm means absolute control over the body.

However, mastery of the body does not happen overnight.

In the second open water practice match in the team just this morning, after Yu Yu mastered the supplies proficiently, he still only swam fifth.With his current state, Yousu is very easily affected by his mentality or people around him.

For short-distance players, no matter how you control the rhythm, it is only a matter of one or two minutes.For marathon runners, controlling the rhythm is nearly two hours of practice.

How can I control the rhythm?

Su Liao looked at the time, and suddenly said "Ah", "It's four o'clock in the afternoon in the blink of an eye."

"I have to go back to my aunt's house." He closed the laptop, "Let's go."

It was rare to have a rest on Saturday afternoon without training. Yu Yu originally wanted to go to Su Liao's house to make up some homework, but ended up spending all his time on swimming.Fortunately, it is not completely useless.He lay on the sofa and stretched out, and stood up wearily: "I don't think I will be in the top three next month."

"Then wait until next year. Anyway, this year is the Olympic year."

The two walked across the walking path of the community, still chatting about the game.Suddenly, Yu Yu narrowed his eyes, and saw a little squirrel running towards him at lightning speed.It was a very small squirrel with a tail only two centimeters thick and ten centimeters long.It was followed by two screaming little kids, dressed in bright colors, waving a long branch in their hands, hitting it from time to time.

The little squirrel ran wildly in a "Z" shape wittily, bumped into Yu Yu's toes, treated him like a tree, and climbed up vertically at [-] degrees.Yu Yu only wore a pair of sweatpants and a light sweater. The little squirrel's sharp claws pierced through the fabric, gently leaving marks on his skin.He stopped, his whole body tensed up like an electric shock, he lowered his head cautiously, and met a pair of small black bean-like eyes.

The thread clothes are very suitable for the little squirrel to hook its claws, and it hangs vertically on Yu Yu's chest, so scared that he dare not move.Yu Yu didn't dare to move either.If possible, he would like to put a "little killer whale QAQ" emoticon on his face.

Soon, the little kids also chased after them, Su Liao reached out his hand to stop him, and said earnestly, "Don't bully the little squirrels."

But the two children didn't seem to hear it, they surrounded Yu Yu one by one, screaming in unison, making Yu Yu's head "buzz".Su Liao frowned, and glanced dissatisfiedly behind the child. The woman who was supposed to take care of the child was busy playing with her mobile phone: "Auntie?"

The woman glanced up, then buried her head in playing with her mobile phone, and reprimanded a few words: "Did you hear what my brother said? Stop shouting, it's not good to disturb others."

Her tone was neither painful nor itchy, and the little kid ignored it.The older child tried to stand on tiptoe and poke the little squirrel on Yu Yu's back with a wooden stick, scaring the little squirrel to jump on Yu Yu's shoulder again.

Yu Yu: "..."

Su Liao took two steps forward and snatched the branch from the kid.

"Shut up!" He leaned down and emphasized his tone, "If you bully the little squirrel again, will I bully you?"

The 1.8-meter-five big brother is still very intimidating. The two children glanced at each other, then ran away screaming, as if they were playing a game of who can scream louder.

Su Liao turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "You really look like a tree."

Yu Yu glanced sideways at the little thing on his shoulder, his whole body was stiff and he was at a loss.

Obviously, the little squirrel who got on the wrong "tree" was also at a loss.It raised its head, as if petrified, still maintaining its original posture, trembling.Yu Yu could feel the warm little thing trembling along with his sweater.Yu Yu turned his head with difficulty: "What should I do?"

Probably the action of "turning back" scared the little squirrel, the little thing jumped up from his shoulder, and jumped onto Su Liao's shoulder nearby.But Su Liao was wearing a jacket with a hood, the fabric was very smooth, the little squirrel lost his footing and fell into his hood.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Liao covered the hood with both hands, trapping the little thing inside: "This hat is detachable, help me unzip it."

Yu Yu quickly took off his hat, and the little thing was struggling inside.

Su Liao carefully closed the hat, and gently held the little squirrel in his palm through the windproof fabric. He stroked the back of the little squirrel reassuringly, leaned over his head, and chuckled lightly: "I caught you."

That voice was so gentle that Yu Yu's heart trembled.

Hold.

"Find a tree and put it away?"

"I'll check to see if it's injured."

The little squirrel probably knew that Su Liao didn't mean anything malicious, so he fell silent in his palm, his black bean-sized eyes sparkling.

"There is a tree in front of my house. There is a big squirrel living on it. It often comes to my house to sleep under the air conditioner." Su Liao walked home quickly, holding the little thing, "It's too small, let's find it with."

Yu Yu quickly followed.

Soon, the two returned to the downstairs of Su Liao's house.

"Here, just this big camphor tree."

Su Liao walked under the tree, clung to the bark and let go. Unexpectedly, the little squirrel protruded its neck, pricked up a pair of small ears, looked left and right, squatted in his palm and was unwilling to leave.Su Liao moved his fingers lightly, and the little squirrel climbed up the tree in one swift motion.

Su Liao watched the little fluffy thing disappear into the tree branch, heaved a sigh of relief, and cursed: "These brats, I owe you."

The sudden fluff made Yu Yu suddenly feel better, and all the entanglements about the team's qualifiers were swept away.Yu Yu thought, Su Liao is really a very gentle person.

He is nice to everyone, even the little squirrels.

When Yu Yu turned 16, it was like stepping into "hell mode".In early May, the provincial swimming marathon qualifiers were like a sword hanging high above the top. At the same time, in order to prepare for the finals of the National Middle School Swimming Championships, the No. [-] Middle School swimming team also started additional training.

Everyone attaches great importance to this competition. For the team, this is the first time for the No. [-] Middle School swimming team to participate in a national competition. For individuals, Su Liao has always wanted a national gold medal. Both Mao Kaijie and Song Hao need national evaluation Tier [-] athlete.Especially Song Hao, this is his last chance to challenge the "high-level athletes" before the college entrance examination.If he can't get a higher grade, he plans to give up swimming, study hard, and prepare for next year's college entrance examination with all his strength.

Zhang Yanming invited Yan Zheng to start a small talk, and the school also specially approved the swimming team to prepare for the national middle school students do not need to read early, from 6:55 to 7:55 in the morning to practice, go back to the classroom and go directly to the first class.

Just because the physical education teacher interceded for the children, it doesn't mean that all the subject teachers agree.

During self-study in the afternoon, Chinese teacher Wang called Su Liao out again: "It's fine for special students to train in the morning, but Su Liao, you definitely don't plan to take the route of high-level athletes, right? You will be a sophomore in a few months, you Is the time arrangement really appropriate?"

Yu Yu raised his ears through a wall.For no reason, he thought of what Cheng Zhefan and Su Liao said that day - "Don't go off course".

"Look, the mid-term Chinese has become your scoring item again. Many points should not be deducted. You have already spent a lot of time participating in those math and science competitions. I don't recommend you to read early because of swimming and jumping. Think about it. The three points you deducted because of dictation in the midterm!"

Su Liao is also very busy this semester.

Two competitions in mathematics and physics, plus he also participated in a competition in the international department, but because his English was really good, he was arrested by the head teacher to prepare for a national English speech competition. In addition to swimming training, Xueshen was a bit too much.In the mid-term exam, Su Liao fell out of the top [-] in his grade, and his Chinese dictation points were deducted by Teacher Wang many times.

"Teacher, I know."

"I think you only have AC numbers in your heart!" Teacher Wang burst out angrily, "Recite the full text of "Pipa Xing" next week, you can figure it out yourself."

As soon as Yu Yu heard this sentence, he wanted to smash his face on the table and die on the spot.

"Okay. Teacher, are you still here at 06:30 today?" Unexpectedly, Su Liao said calmly, "I will be told to you today."

Yu Yu: "?"

Teacher Wang frowned suspiciously: "Have you memorized it before?"

Second middle school students fight with gods, but some elementary school students can recite "Pipa Xing".

It's a pity that Su Liao only studied calculus in primary school, so he answered honestly, "No."

Yu Yu: "..."

Teacher Wong:"……"

Su Liao's tone was very sincere: "If I can't recite it, I will definitely participate in the morning self-study next week."

"Yo, just based on your words, I will wait for you in the office today."

"Save some time, teacher, you can come to the swimming pool."

When Su Liao returned to the classroom, Yu Yu couldn't help but turn around: "Damn, your tone is really serious, you won't practice this afternoon?"

"Training."

Su Liao dug out the Chinese book and opened "Pipa Xing", it was clean and there were no notes at all - the reason is also very simple, they will only learn this poem next week.

Yu Yu: "..." Does this guy really have a B number in his heart?Is it really not B pretending to be B?

He no longer wants to ask when you plan to recite it.

This is not something that a scumbag should consider.

In the afternoon training, Su Liao did not know where to find a recitation of "New College Entrance Examination Classical Chinese Must Recite Ancient Poems", and chose "Pipa Xing" infinite loop.

The whistle of the training, the sound of "crawling" water, mixed with an expressive bass voice "lightly grasping, slowly twisting, wiping and picking", Yu Yu felt that his swimming posture was about to be sublimated.

At the end of the training that day, Teacher Wang really came.

Yu Yu quietly squeezed Su Liao into a cold sweat.But when someone Su recited "Pipa Xing" extremely fluently and verbatim, Yu Yu asked himself: Why do I still feel strange?

"Teacher, I know what I want." The corner of the boy's mouth was curled up with wet hair, his tone was calm and confident, "I also know what I'm doing."

Teacher Wang smiled and didn't mention the matter of self-study too early.

At that time, Yu Yu asked Su Liao: "You really haven't memorized it before?"

"real."

"Hold."

"After reading the content in the afternoon, this poem is actually very easy to memorize. It has a plot, so I will remember the order of the story development first." Su Liao explained, "Listen to the brainwashing for another two hours, in fact, I think half an hour is enough enough."

"Don't tell me any more, I don't want to hear it."

Su Liao: "..."

However, inspired by this, Xu Yufeng proposed to train every day and change the BGM of the swimming pool to "Pipa Xing", and then change it to other necessary classical Chinese until all the team members can write silently.

Yu Yu and Wang Pengpeng were evenly matched, competing for the "last classmate" spot.

After two weeks, even Teacher Zhang could recite it.

On May [-]th, the qualifiers for the Swimming Marathon within the Salt Province team.

The sea was sunny that day, and the sea breeze was warm. More than [-] boys stood side by side on the departure pontoon, and the whistle sounded——

Yu Yu and a group of people jumped into the sea at the same time, waving arms and splashing water everywhere.Unexpectedly, now that his body is plunged into the sea, there is an affectionate bass in his head, like a magic voice filling his ears-"Xunyang River sees off guests at night..."

This poem is catchy and rhythmic.

But soon, Yu Yu discovered a problem.

He followed the speed of the first echelon and swam too fast.

Yan Zheng discussed with him alone the speed that should be maintained for the first 8000 meters—with Yu Yu’s current physical fitness, once the speed exceeds this speed in the early stage, it is easy to appear insufficient sprint speed in the later stage—that training speed is in the long run of "Pipa Xing" During the brainwashing, Zao formed a certain resonance with the rhythm of his body.

But now, his speed is inconsistent with the "Pipa Xing" in his mind.

Now the No.1 leader is No. 19, and Yu Yu knows that it is Cheng Zhefan.However, Cheng Zhefan swam too fast and took the entire first echelon too fast.For most athletes, maintaining this pace early in the marathon can easily burn out prematurely.

Yu Yu made up his mind, stopped looking at the position of his competitors, and slowly slowed down according to the rhythm of "Pipa Xing" in his mind.
