Liu Dazhu stood in front of the pool, looking at his reflection through the clear blue and clear pool water, and fell into a sluggish state, and his reflection in the water seemed to become more silly.

When the other players were doing warm-up exercises, only Liu Dazhu looked at his reflection in the water, and suddenly he smiled at the "self" in the water, and the "Liu Dazhu" in the water also smiled at him. Liu Dazhu is fourteen years old, although his personality is still a little silly, but he is not stupid, he also knows a lot, understands a lot, but he doesn't say anything, and he is willing to behave all the time, he knows that others also like his humble appearance.

"In the final of the upcoming 100-meter freestyle competition, we saw that the players were all in place, and the fifth lane was my country's young swimmer Liu Dazhu, Liu Dazhu performed well in the semi-finals and reached the final with a third place. The male commentator on the stage said.

The female commentator continued: "Yes, and you must know that Liu Dazhu has just turned 14 years old this year, and the other competitors are 16 or 17 years old, the 100-meter freestyle is mainly to see explosiveness, but also to see some physical endurance, and the older you are, the more advantageous, so Liu Dazhu who has just met the age requirements of the Youth Olympic Games is not much advantage." ”

The male commentator also said: "Yes, compared with other players, Liu Dazhu does not have an advantage in age, nor does he have an advantage in swimming experience and ability. But his performance is still very good, judging from the preliminaries, his performance is not worse than other players with an age advantage, and because of the reason for participating in the relay race, Liu Dazhu controlled the state a little in the 100-meter freestyle semifinals yesterday, and did not go all out, so it is still worth looking forward to his performance today. ”

The first eight runners in the swimming lane are ready, and among the eight runners, Liu Dazhu is the shortest, a head shorter than the other runners, the oldest of the eight contestants is 18 years old, and the youngest is Liu Dazhu, who has just turned 14 years old. Although the age limit for participation in the Youth Olympic Games is 14 to 18 years old, there are very few 14-year-old athletes participating in the previous Youth Olympic Games, most of them are 17 or 18, because 14-year-old athletes do not have any advantage in this competition, especially in swimming and running.

"There are a lot of very strong runners in the 100m freestyle, such as Brazil's De Santana, who has performed well in several different events. The female commentator continued, "She is also the favorite to win the championship. ”

"Yes. The male commentator nodded and said in agreement.

At this time, the referee behind each player stood up from his seat, walked behind the player, and then a sharp whistle sounded, and the eight team members jumped into the water one after another, and Liu Dazhu seemed to be a quarter beat slower, slightly behind the other players and jumped into the water.

The male commentator said: "The game has begun. ”

The female commentator continued: "Yes, the players have entered the water, but Liu Dazhu seems to have been a little slower when he entered the water just now. ”

The male commentator smiled and said, "Yes, maybe it's because he's smaller, so it looks a little slower than the other players to enter the water." ”

But in fact, Liu Dazhu was a little slower to react, and the other players jumped into the water immediately the moment they heard the whistle, but Liu Dazhu made a mistake, as if he was delayed, and he jumped into the water after a few tenths of a second slower, and when Liu Dazhu waved his hand and began to swim, the other players had already completed a round of arm waving, Liu Dazhu was already a head slower, plus Liu Dazhu was already younger than the other players by a head, which added up to a short distance between the two ends, making Liu Dazhu ranked last.

"Liu Dazhu's entry into the water is very unfavorable, today seems to be in no state, it seems that he is the last one now. The male commentator said with some concern in his tone.

The female commentator also followed up and said: "Yes, I hope Liu Dazhu can come on, it's good to be in the top three." ”

Before entering the water, Liu Dazhu has been staring at the water in a daze, he knows that this swimming is very important to him, very important, the coach has repeatedly emphasized to him that this opportunity is rare, and he did not live up to his expectations and successfully reached the final. Standing in front of the swimming lane of the finals, Liu Dazhu suddenly remembered that when Lin Ping took him to Lin Xi Natatorium, that time was also very important and very important, giving him Liu Dazhu a chance to prove himself and stand here today.

Liu Dazhu still has a deep impression of that day, he remembers that the water in the pool was very dirty that day, and his body was also dirty, but the sun was very dazzling that day, and the water in the pool was also very warm, he remembered what Lin Ping had said to him in his ear and the expectation in his eyes. He will never forget that day, and for him, from that day on, he was never as happy as he used to be.

Liu Dazhu felt that the happiest time was still the days when he was swimming in the Kushan River with his friends bare-chested, when the water was not as "heavy" as it is now, and there were not so many eyes looking at him. Especially when he swam past Teacher Lin Ping in the Kushan River competition, Liu Dazhu didn't know why he felt so happy.

As soon as Liu Dazhu came back to his senses, the whistle sounded when he entered the water, and Liu Dazhu immediately jumped into the water, but a little slower.

At this time, a coach in the coaching group who was watching the game also sighed with some hatred and said: "Alas, this Liu Dazhu always enters the water slowly and half a beat, how many times have I told him, how many times have I trained him, he was fine a while ago, why did he do it again on this occasion today!

"What's the hurry, Liu Dazhu won't catch up slowly, he's still okay with the top three. ”

"I said that this 100-meter freestyle also let Xiao Yu go up, you have to let this Liu Dazhu go, Liu Dazhu is only 14 years old, he still has a chance, wait for the next Youth Olympic Games, you see, he is so young that he really does not have an advantage in physical strength......"

Liu Dazhu, who entered the water, knew that he was slow, and swam forward with all his might, he was afraid, he knew that there were many pairs of eyes looking at him, there were audiences, his own coaches, some friends, as well as his parents and Teacher Lin Ping, they were all watching him.

Liu Dazhu swam forward in the water, and slowly he felt that he had changed from a person to a fish, and the resistance of the water became much lighter and smaller, and he swam forward happily and easily.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Dazhu felt that he had changed from a fish to a piece of water, and he was completely integrated with this pool.
