889 Aware of the Gap
They are all young girls, and they are all the same as everyone else, and they are all in contact with eight-person rowing for the first time.
In the eyes of the unchallenged members, this is not a sure win.
In any case, the gap in strength between women and men is still obvious. Even if it is by strength alone, it should be a must to win.
Talking and laughing, the girls arrived.
Sure enough, they are all young girls, and they don't wear beautiful makeup like the artists, they all look very simple.
But after meeting and shaking hands, everyone found something different.
Haha said in surprise: "Touching their hands, they are rougher than us." ”
Zhenyun was also very surprised.
"What the hell happened to the hand?"
When the girls exposed their palms, everyone saw that each of their palms was covered with blisters and thick calluses.
Even because of the hard training, the color of the palms has become gray and abrupt.
"We're no match for ......"
"I don't dare to go out and say we've rowed. ”
Liu Zaishi sighed: "Look at their faces, so innocent and cheerful, how long do you practice in a day?"
One of the girls replied, "Four or five hours a day." ”
Shi Zhenqiu asked with concern, "Do you have a Sunday off?"
The girls' faces were gloomy.
"No breaks. ”
Shi Zhenqiu chuckled.
"How can you answer so sadly? ”
Liu Zaishi also asked funny, "Do you also want to rest on Sunday?"
The girls really don't hide their thoughts.
"Yes. ”
Zheng Hyung-don asked in an interview, "What is the average age?"
As a result, the girls in front of them were only eighteen years old.
Seeing their appearance, Shi Zhenqiu sighed with emotion.
"It's as big as Ji-yeon and IU. ”
Obviously, they are all the same age, but their experiences and appearances are completely different. The encounters in life are embarrassing.
After a brief interview, the competition officially began.
But when they saw the girls' boat leave the shore, everyone was stunned.
"They're going backwards and gone?"
Eight-person rowing is known to be rowed backwards. Therefore, if you want to leave the shore, you need a certain amount of space.
But the girls on the other side showed everyone a novel technique.
Just change the direction of the paddle and you can leave the shore directly.
The most important thing is that even if they are reversed, their movements are very uniform, as if they are alone.
"We're in the same vein!"
"Is it really your first time?"
"Let's go backwards, too!"
You can't lose it from the beginning, so the unchallenged members who are incapable and ambitious also have to reverse it.
As a result, their rowing boat staggered like ducks fluttering in the water, and it was difficult to leave the shore as if it were about to sink at any moment.
Finally, both sides stopped at the 1000-meter starting line.
The game is about to start, and Liu Zaishi cheers everyone up.
"We're all going to do it. ”
Shi Zhenqiu also said: "I can't relax in the end." ”
Park Myung-so also came to the rescue.
"You have to cooperate well, you don't have to paddle so fast. ”
It's a pity that someone demolished his platform.
Haha, who was sitting behind him, said, "You are, you are." ”
Park Myung-so was furious.
"Be careful I throw you into the water. ”
Coach Jin Zhihao didn't care about everyone's playfulness, and seeing that both sides were in place, he immediately copied the horn.
"Ready...... Let's go!"
The order to start sounded, and the two teams immediately began to row their oars and headed for the finish line.
From the start, however, the performance of both sides was not on the same level.
On the side of the "Infinite Challenge" team, although Gary's slogan is very good, because of the unfamiliar training and uneven strength, everyone's speed is very slow.
On the other hand, the girls' team, from the very beginning, has been very close.
In particular, the speed at which they paddle is fast and uniform.
As a result, from the very beginning, their ship was like an arrow from a string, and it suddenly went far beyond it.
Because of the difference in the speed of the oars, the result is that the speed difference between the two sides is very significant.
The unchallenged team was completely stunned.
"Ah, it's fast!"
"Ah, it's not covered!"
Not to mention the speed of the paddle, even the beat is not very uniform. As a result, there is no energy, but a lot of waste is wasted.
Rowing is like this, the better the cooperation, the more effortless it is.
On the other hand, if the beat is chaotic, a lot of effort will be wasted, and the boat will not be able to get up and running.
On the wide water, everyone tried their best to feed, but they could only watch the girl get farther and farther away.
The house leak happened to be rainy, and in everyone's anxious mood, Zheng Junhe's oars were washed away by the current.
It's not easy to correct it, and all you can do is to catch up.
It's a competition, and it's different from the usual practice alone.
Because there is a goal to catch up, everyone can only use all their strength, and they are many, much more tired than usual.
Gary, the helmsman, could see that everyone was tired and telling white lies.
"Soon, it's almost catching up, come on!"
But everyone will be skeptical.
"Really?"
"Don't lie. ”
Gary was very imposing.
"Keep the faith, keep going, there's still ten meters to go!"
Finally, the team finally crossed the finish line, and everyone was finally able to stop.
However, this kilometer has made everyone completely depressed.
There was really no strength, everyone hung their heads, breathed the air as much as they could, and vented the heat that seemed to be burning in their chests.
But looking at the girl team next to it, the contrast is really too strong.
"Wow, that's amazing, the boat is already parked and drinking. ”
Yoo Jae-seok also had to admit the gap.
"Girls, you're so good at rowing!"
Zhenyun is an accusation.
"Liars!"
But in any case, the girls' team was a handsome victory, so everyone still gave sincere congratulations and applause.
In the end, the result of this competition was that the no-picker team was defeated by a gap of 200 meters.
You know, it's a 1,000-meter race. The real race is a two-kilometer race.
The members who were in a breather were still sighing.
"It's different from the beginning, it's uproar from the beginning...... Rushing forward. ”
"I couldn't keep up from the start. ”
"They paddled so fast, and they moved so consistently. ”
"Something big, something big!"
"It's really empty. ”
Back on the shore, everyone's spirit seemed to be washed away by this game, and they all languished.
Looking at the coach, Zheng Junhe cautiously asked, "When you play, it should be better, right?"
The coach was calm.
"I was just competing with a female high school student, and the people in the official competition were all professionals. It can't be compared to this, it will be very good. ”
"What are we going to do?"
Shi Zhenqiu asked worriedly, "Could it be that we are only halfway through the row, and they have already reached the end?"
The coach did not deny it.
"In the current situation, it's very likely. If you don't make progress as you do now, it's likely to be. There are really not a few days left, so everyone should be mentally prepared. ”
Yes, that's already the case, what else can be done?
Liu Zaishi proposed: "Even if you are tired today, you can practice again." ”
The coach was also very sure of his proposal.
"There really is no other way or shortcut except to practice. Now it's important to correct everyone's problems and make the whole work together, so try more and practice more. ”
Feeling the solemn atmosphere, the newcomers Gary and Defcon are very self-conscious.
"We're really going to try. ”
"Really going to do what it can. ”
After tasting failure, everyone is very unwilling. So even though the sun was about to set, everyone decided to continue practicing.
Everyone got on the boat again and was back on the water again.
Recognizing the gap, what can be done is only through continuous hard work and practice, in order to make progress little by little.
Even Defcon, who did not board the boat, sat on the shore alone and practiced rowing.
There is no time for everyone to be idle, and if you don't want to be embarrassed, everyone has to pay a hundred times the sweat.
From this day on, Shi Zhenqiu officially adjusted his plan. All the time, except for the necessary work, is reserved for rowing.
For the sake of physical fitness, he didn't even make love with the women for more than two weeks.
Although he didn't say anything about the smallest of his work, he always believed that if he wanted to help the team more, he had to try to do his best.
He is the one who doesn't like to lose the most, so when he trains hard, he also begins to urge those who are not very diligent.
Park Myung-so, Haha, Jung Jun-ha, and Jung Hyung-don all came to the training ground every time they were carried by him, and they had no chance to be lazy at all.
Although these guys are all brothers, they are in a hurry and are terrible, so they can't help it.
"Brother Mingxiu, what are you still doing at home? ”
Hearing that it was his voice, Park Myung-so on the other end of the phone was very depressed.
"No, I'm too tired, I need to take a break. ”
Shi Zhenqiu didn't let him go at all.
"What are you tired of? Hurry down, I'm waiting for you. ”
Park Myung-so was furious.
"Ah, I can't go. Bastard, don't you understand Korean?"
Park Myung-so on TV is not very kind, but Park Myung-so in private is even worse.
It's a pity that he doesn't look at who his opponent is.
Shi Zhenqiu is the wicked among the wicked.
"Ah, surnamed Pu, give you three minutes. If you don't come down, I'll buy a horn and scold you down there for three days and three nights. When the time comes, see who is more humiliated. ”
Park Myung-so's whole person is not good, and there is nowhere to vent his anger.
"Yikes!"
Helpless, he had to come down obediently.
When I got downstairs, I saw Shi Zhenqiu standing by the car waiting, and Park Myung-so came over and was about to do it.
"Bastard, do you still have any humility?"
However, compared to force, Shi Zhenqiu let him have both hands.
Without much effort, Shi Zhenqiu just grabbed Park Myung-so's wrist and pressed him against the car door.
"Old fellow, I've not been in a good temper lately. Don't force me to do it, be obedient and squeeze my life dry. Otherwise, I'll drain your marrow!"
Park Myung-so was frightened, as if he had returned to the time when he saw Jiang Hudong fighting with people more than ten years ago.
He didn't dare to say a word anymore, so he honestly got into Shi Zhenqiu's car and was dragged to Misha.
Similarly, the people here also felt that Shi Zhenqiu's mood seemed to be very anxious, and they all began to look at his face.
