"Shen Lang, how is your physical fitness?"

Liu Guangzu stepped forward and asked with a mixture of surprise, he knew that it was very physically exhausting to swim with all his strength, but looking at Shen Lang's appearance didn't seem to be so hard, and having such physical fitness at the age of 14 was also a very demonic performance.

In the last Asian Games, Zhao Xuebing reported two events, and after swimming the first item in the afternoon, he collapsed directly after swimming the second item in the evening.

Many people think that swimming is not as physical as football and basketball, which is completely a common sense misunderstanding, in fact, the amount of exercise and physical consumption of swimming is very amazing, compared to the three balls will only be higher, not lower.

"No problem, I can swim the 100m butterfly again in an hour and the 200m freestyle again in the afternoon."

"Don't be pushy, we want your best results."

Liu Guangzu wanted him to test the 100-meter butterfly again in the afternoon and two 200-meter butterfly tomorrow.

He wanted to test Shen Lang's best results, this kind of test was similar to the competition, free swimming and butterfly swimming were the most physically demanding swimming strokes, he didn't think that Shen Lang, who was only 14 years old, really had such physical fitness.

"Then in two hours, coach, don't worry, I don't like to be strong."

"Well, then in two hours!"

Liu Guangzu saw that he was serious, and he couldn't help but believe a little in his heart, anyway, when he looked at the results, he would know whether he was reckless or not.

Wang Hua had already gone to the head coach's office at this time, and of course he knew what it meant to swim at the age of 14.

This is a real talent that will hopefully make the Chinese swimming team break through in international competitions, and Shen Lang's talent is at least two notches higher than the others, and he must report it to Feng Jingyuan immediately.

Shen Lang's side was soon surrounded by his teammates, and many people's attitudes changed significantly.

Most of his male teammates didn't have a good impression of him just now, but it was mainly about his background and appearance.

But worshipping the strong is also a human instinct, when a person is strong enough, excellent appearance and family background will no longer be an objection, but can give birth to a buff that is easier to be worshipped.

Two hours later, Shen Lang continued the test.

Wu Jie also turned the picture in front of him, but when he saw the big kettle at Shen Lang's feet, he couldn't help laughing.

"Swimming" is one of the most physically demanding sports, and it is necessary to replenish enough water and energy during training and competition.

He travels back in time to a time when athletes in this high-consumption event would be replenished with energy protein drinks between trainings, and some star athletes would use special nutrients.

But at the moment, everyone in the swim team has a large water glass, and then a bunch of bananas and a few bottles of naturally ripe honey are placed in the lounge area.

Shen Lang has tried it a long time ago, this banana is very delicious, and the honey is a genuine mature soil honey, it seems that it should have been sent directly after picking.

Wu Jie thought about it carefully, although these things are a little more earthy than those in foreign countries, the effect is not much worse than energy protein drinks.

What really affects an athlete's level is the physical talent, as well as the acquired scientific recipes and training methods, and of course, the level of medical care.

Those seemingly lofty energy drinks and special nutrients actually don't even work for 1%.

When Shen Lang entered the water again, this time even Feng Jingyuan rushed to the scene to watch.

Among the five swimming events for men and women, the Chinese swimming team has the worst results in "butterfly" and "freestyle", because these two events are the most physically demanding and require the highest physical talent, and have always been the world of American and Australian athletes, followed by Soviet and European athletes.

Asian athletes, including Japan, which dominated Asian swimming in the seventies and eighties, are also not even qualified to swim in these two events, as long as they can reach the finals, it is enough for the Japanese media to be proud.

Chinese swimmers don't even have any results in Asia, and their strength can be imagined.

Wu Jie also used Shen Lang's perspective to observe, and he found that there are very few big men above 1.85 meters in the Chinese swimming team, not even more than 1.8 meters.

At this time, domestic coaches still thought that a height of more than 1.85 meters was not suitable for swimming, but more and more big swimmers emerged in the European and American swimming circles in the 70s, and by the late 80s, most of the outstanding players were more than 1.85 meters tall.

However, domestic swimmers were 1.70 to 1.80 meters tall until the 90s.

This naturally suffers a big loss, because the propulsion force of your arm stroke twice is enough for people once.

At this time, Shen Lang had already started to test the 100-meter butterfly, and the biggest difference between this event and freestyle is that the swimming style has certain standard restrictions and is more strenuous.

Liu Guangzu and Feng Jingyuan were both staring closely on the sidelines, Shen Lang's chest sank into the water instantly after entering the water, and his hands extended forward with his super shoulder flexibility, and at the same time, in order to maintain a streamlined shape in the water, his head and neck also rose.

This posture looks slightly awkward than the standard swimming style, but relying on Shen Lang's excellent shoulder flexibility and strong arms, his water holding and pushing speed are very fast, and his hands and forearms do not produce a trace of bubbles, thus ensuring that the water can be pulled backwards with maximum efficiency to produce more powerful propulsion.

Shen Lang's swimming style after swimming up the water is quite different from the standard posture of this era, I saw that he jumped up and down very largely, but the powerful leg and the fast and powerful grasp of the water with the arm produced a strong propulsion force that made him fly forward, and the speed of the first half was amazing!

After swimming the first 50 meters, Shen Lang turned around better than the last time, and his kick generated a strong momentum, and used this thrust with a powerful kick to "slide" nearly 15 meters in one breath.

This is equivalent to diving four or five meters more than the rest of the team during the entry phase and each turn.

As we all know, with enough propulsion, an athlete can certainly glide faster underwater than on water.

Liu Guangzu and Feng Jingyuan immediately showed a look full of surprise on their faces, this level of "turning the body" and "kicking the wall", including the underwater "leg beating", no one in China can do it.

Then think about it further, Shen Lang has so many advantages in a single turn and kicking the wall, if he participates in events like 200 meters and 400 meters, the results will probably be very amazing.

Wu Jie also knew that Shen Lang would have a greater advantage in participating in events above 400 meters, but long-distance events consumed too much physical strength, even if Shen Lang had Phelps' recovery ability, he would be able to participate in two or three events at most.

But swimming 100 meters and 200 meters is much easier, and Shen Lang can apply for five or six projects, so it must be more cost-effective to choose short distances.

In the last 25 meters of the sprint, Shen Lang relied on his strong lung capacity, and did not raise his head to breathe, but completed the sprint in one go.

"57.90 seconds!"

Liu Guangzu pressed the stopwatch, and Shen Lang actually swam out of the "athlete" again.

The latest domestic 100-meter butterfly "international-level athlete" standard is 57.50 seconds, and the "athlete" is 60.00 seconds, which is infinitely close to the "international-level athlete" standard.

"Take a break in the afternoon and I'll be able to swim another 200 meters in the evening!"

Shen Lang was not particularly tired after swimming, which was in stark contrast to the panting performance of many domestic players, but he swam two "athletes" out in the morning.

"Shen Lang, tell us honestly, what can you do in 200 meters?"

Feng Jingyuan couldn't wait for the evening, so he asked directly.

"My 200m was a bit better, with a best time of 1:58 seconds in the freestyle and 2:04 seconds in the butterfly."

Shen Lang's words made the two look at each other, this kid didn't need to lie to them, he was really more suitable for long distances.

The standard for the 200m freestyle is 1:54.00 seconds for the "International Athlete" and 2:00.00 seconds for the "Athlete".

The standard for the 200m butterfly is 2:03.00 seconds for the "International Athlete" and 2:10.00 seconds for the "Athlete".

Shen Lang's results in the 200m butterfly are very close to the standard of "international athletes", which shows that he is best at butterfly.

Feng Jingyuan and Liu Guangzu both thought in their hearts, should they let him swim 200 meters instead, or even try 400 meters?

But this must be in vain, even if Shen Lang is better at long distances, but in order to win more gold medals, he will only swim 100 meters and 200 meters.

In the afternoon, Shen Lang did not go into the water again and kept training by the pool.

Many people think that swimmers train underwater, but with the exception of a few pre-competition targeted training, most of the time they train on the water than underwater.

Under normal circumstances, I only go into the water several times a day, and the time is between one and two hours, and the rest of the time is simulated training on the shore.

This type of training is similar to yoga, except that the exercises are simulated underwater conditions, and the purpose is to work the core muscle groups of all parts of the body, as well as the flexibility of the joints of the limbs.

But don't think that this kind of training is not hard, in fact, it is more tiring than training in the water, the key is very boring.

Whether it's a big ball game or a small ball game, if you really like it, you can actually enjoy the fun of sports or the competition itself.

However, this kind of training range is only a mat-sized simulation training, and not only does the athlete not feel a little happy, but also produces pain and fatigue after core strength training after each training session.

If there's one thing that makes swimmers happy, it's when they beat each other in a competition and win a medal.

In the evening, Shen Lang swam another 200-meter freestyle with a time of 1:58.60 seconds, considering that he had swam twice during the day, this result was very good, and he was fully capable of swimming within 1:58.00 seconds.

The next day, Shen Lang swam the 200-meter butterfly again in the morning, and this time the time was 2:03.30 seconds, which was already the third place in the team.

"Shen Lang, your talent is very high, but you are more suitable for swimming long distances, I discussed it with the head coach yesterday, and we both think that you should focus on the 200-meter butterfly and 400 freestyle, and try the 1500-meter freestyle."

Liu Guangzu took Shen Lang to Feng Jingyuan's office after breakfast, and it seemed that the two had already discussed.

"I also know I'm better at the 200m and 400m, but I'd rather try the 100m breaststroke, the 100m backstroke and the 200m medley instead."

Shen Lang knew that these two people were talking to him in a consultative manner, it must be because his talent was too amazing, and he couldn't have thought of himself as Wu Jie and Luda in the swimming field.

"What do you mean?"

Feng Jingyuan frowned at first, and then thought of something.

"I think the physical exertion of swimming 100 meters is much smaller than that of 200 meters and 400 meters, and as long as my fitness continues to improve, I can swim all four events in one day."

Shen Lang's words made the eyes of the two light up, the competition system of the Asian Games and the Olympic Games can indeed allow a player to apply for multiple events, because the competition time of each event is staggered.

In fact, domestic athletes will also report two events, one main event and one sub-event.

The top players in the United States and Australia will even report three or four events.

Shen Lang was equivalent to swimming in three events yesterday, and the results were all very good, which shows that his physical fitness is very good and his recovery ability is also very strong, which is a talent that other team members do not have.

"I know what you think, but the breaststroke and the backstroke have different strokes, and the technical requirements are very different, have you ever trained them?"

Feng Jingyuan believes that Shen Lang does have the physical talent to play like this, but swimming is not just by the body, and technical talent is also very important.

It is not difficult to practice a swimming style, but to practice to the level of being able to compete for medals in the Olympic Games, you must polish countless details.

"I'm still young, and after next year's Asian Games and the World Championships, I'm going to practice these two strokes officially."

Shen Lang's words made Feng Jingyuan fall into deep thought, he had actually been moved.

After the two sent Shen Lang away, they discussed for a while and came to the conclusion: You can try it!

This operation is also beneficial to them, if Shen Lang can really win two or three medals in one event, it will be a more beneficial choice for himself, for them, and for the country.

Next, Shen Lang trained at the Shaoxing Swimming Base with peace of mind.

He has already shown his talent to the national team, but this result only shows that he deserves to be a talent at the age of 14, and if he is to achieve results at the World Championships, it will not be enough.
