Chapter 994: Catch up
Judging from the current situation in this final, it is difficult for the Zhenguo team to win medals.
Indeed, the current ranking of the Zhenguo team is only sixth, and the gap between it and the top five is a bit big, which is difficult to catch up.
For this situation, Su Rui is also under a lot of pressure, he knows that his players have a certain gap with other strong teams, but he didn't expect that there will be such a big gap.
If every player can play at such a level like Ning Tao, then he will not have so much pressure.
Because, if the strength of the other two team members is the same as Ning Tao, then Su Rui has a great chance of winning the game, not only can he win a medal, but also can win a gold medal for the Zhenguo team.
But now, the situation is that the two players are not at the level of Ning Tao, and there is a bigger gap with the players of other strong teams.
With such a big distance behind, it is difficult for Su Rui to turn the tide, and it will be difficult to get a medal if he catches up all at once, and the hope of the gold medal is even slimmer.
In fact, he has also thought of other ways to improve the strength of his players, such as through the skill of core power.
You must know that the skill of core power can improve the strength of the whole team, and his core power has reached level 3, that is, it can increase the ability of teammates by 15%, even if in this kind of project, it is impossible to improve by 15%, but at least it can make teammates close the gap, and their performance will not be worse than that of players from other teams, and they will not fall behind.
However, this core power skill is not something that can be used if you want to, and there are still big limitations, the biggest of which is that he must be the absolute core of the team, and only if all the team members regard him as the core, can it play a role.
If Su Rui can't become the core of the whole team, then the skill of core power will be invalid, or even ineffective.
In fact, at the beginning of the game, that is, when Ning Tao was the first stick, he had already used the core power, but there was no doubt that it didn't work at all, and in the next two or three sticks, it was the same, there was still no improvement effect.
Su Rui knew that it wasn't that the core power skill had lost its effect, but that he couldn't meet the conditions, which meant that he wasn't the core of the team.
Even if his level in the team is the highest, but if he doesn't convince others and doesn't let other team members treat him as the core, he will not be able to meet the requirements, and he will not be able to play the role of the core power, and there will be no improvement for other team members.
In this team, Su Rui does not belong to the core, and the power of the core will be invalid.
For this situation, in fact, he had expected it before.
In any case, Su Rui is still relatively unfamiliar in the national swimming team, and he rarely appears in ordinary times, so he only comes out during the game, and he doesn't meet at other times, and he has no contact in private, even before the game, he doesn't train together, so these people can't treat him as the core.
This is different from the football team, when they were in Shenzhou Football Club, they often played, and he often turned the tide and let the results prove himself, which made all the players trust him and treat him as the core of the team, so that the core power can play a role.
But in this swimming team, it's completely different, the number of times we have participated in competitions together is too small, and the last time has been too long since now.
In this case, Su Rui is indeed unable to become the core of the team in a short period of time, and it is impossible for these people to treat him as a core figure like this, and the people who can join the national team, each of whom is considered a talented athlete, will inevitably be arrogant, and in a short period of time, of course, it is difficult for them to believe him willingly.
Therefore, without exception, his core power skill will be invalid, which is expected.
Because of this, in this game, Su Rui has no way to help the players improve their strength through the power of the core, so he can only let them play freely, which has become the current situation.
After seeing the situation in front of them, everyone had almost given up, and even Yuan Ze didn't think there was any hope of winning a medal.
However, Su Rui did not give up, even when the team handed over, he was already sixth, he did not give up, and he did not think that this would be over, even if the gap was big, he had to chase it back.
For him, even now, he is confident that the Zhenguo team will achieve better results, at least to get a medal.
Not only does he want to get a medal, Su Rui also wants to win a silver medal, or even a gold medal, even if the hope is very slim, he has to fight once, and he will definitely not give up now.
He didn't even start fighting, so how did he know that he would definitely fail!
Therefore, when it was handed over to Su Rui's body, he entered the water as soon as possible, and a perfect start gave him a big advantage.
When the relay reaches him, it is impossible for the following contestants to catch up.
As soon as he entered the water, Su Rui didn't care about what was happening in the outside world, he completely ignored it, and only swam forward.
Catching up, he did quickly close the gap with the previous contestants, and in just a while, he had already caught up with the contestants in front of him, even if this contestant began to accelerate, he could not avoid the fate of being surpassed by him.
After seeing Su Rui surpass a contestant so quickly and go from sixth place to fifth place, everyone had a little more hope in their hearts, but it was only a little.
Everyone is not surprised that he can catch up with the players in front of him, with his strength, there is almost no problem in doing this, so that the Zhenguo team can be promoted from sixth to fourth, and everyone believes that he can do it.
However, it was surprising that Su Rui could catch up with a player in such a short time and such a short distance.
It is precisely because he surpassed the previous contestant so quickly that everyone has a little more hope, and it is no longer a complete loss of hope, and everyone begins to think that with him, the Zhenguo team may have hope to win a medal, but it is not necessarily.
After all, the level that Su Rui is showing now is really amazing, and if it is maintained, it may be hoped that the Zhenguo team will become the third place.
Even if this hope is very small, it is still hope, not completely hopeless, it is already much better than before.
After this moment, because of Su Rui's performance, everyone began to look forward to this game again, hoping that he could create another miracle, bring new hope to the Zhenguo team, and win a medal again.
