Chapter 199: Four Asian Records

Shen Lang's results in the 100-meter freestyle are already very good, but as a sport that is not influential enough, even if he wins the championship in the end, it will not attract much attention abroad.

Unless you can win two events, or even three or four events, in the same event, then you can expand your influence to a global scale.

Of course, if he can really win the championship, even if it is just a championship, as a historic breakthrough in Chinese swimming, Shen Lang will still be famous in China, and it will also be popular in Asia.

Because of his good appearance, he also has the identity of a "big cartoonist".

The book "Football Player", which is popular all over the country in China, will land in Hong Kong and Macao after the World Cup, and has even been well received by the Japanese comic industry, and many Japanese manga publishers hope to obtain the right to distribute in Japanese.

But there is one person who doesn't really like to see this comic.

Now when it comes to "Football Player", Yoichi Takahashi will be very depressed, because the "キャプテン Wing" he submitted before the World Cup was returned by "Weekly Shonen Jump", on the grounds that the plot, painting style, and character design are similar to "Football Player", and there is a suspicion of plagiarism.

This made Takahashi Yang angry, and immediately asked someone to find this "Football Player", but he didn't get it until the World Cup was over.

"The Soccer Player" has been published in the first part of the fourth volume, which is several times longer than his deposit.

Takahashi Yang immediately became depressed after reading it, although this comic is not similar to his work in terms of plot, but the rhythm, painting style, and character design are indeed very similar, and even the protagonist is somewhat similar.

The most painful thing is these similar parts, and his works are a little worse.

If Wu Jie knew the depression in Takahashi Yoichi's heart, he would definitely snicker, because the plot, rhythm, painting style, and character design are all localized according to the original version, and then improved!

After reading these four volumes of manga, Yoichi Takahashi's self-confidence has been hit many times!

But the most helpless thing is that the worldview of this "Football Player" is not fictional, there are many realistic characters in this comic, such as Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, Lin Yaodong, members of the Chinese national team, etc., and even Luda ran out to fool the protagonist to play basketball.

In short, this comic is completely with a real name.,It's also a real appearance.,This alone makes the sense of substitution much stronger than his pure YY.。

The final ending of his comic is that he wants the protagonists to beat the Chinese team once, gain the respect of Chinese football, and then enter the World Cup stage with the first place in Asia.

But in reality, the Chinese team not only appeared on the World Cup stage, but also achieved the dream result of fifth, and Japan has not defeated China for more than half a century, and the gap between the two sides is still widening.

Yoichi Takahashi himself knew that it was impossible for Japan to beat the Chinese team in the past, and it will be even more impossible in the future.

This situation is tragic enough, and the worst thing is that China also has an all-round football cartoon that came out one step ahead of him, and now it makes him look like a plagiarist.

As soon as Takahashi thought of this, he felt that he should not touch the theme of "football", and now he can't draw at all.

"To hell with Japanese football, to hell with that Shen Lang, to hell with all of them!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally went crazy and tore the manuscript to shreds, throwing it all down the toilet and flushing it away.

Shen Lang didn't know that the football manga that influenced a generation of Japanese people was quietly killed by himself, and he was now preparing for the men's 100m butterfly preliminaries in the evening.

The "butterfly swim" has been the most ornamental swimming style since its birth, and the athlete is as beautiful as a butterfly flying in the air when he enters the water.

But this kind of swimming style is also the most strenuous and naturally more dependent on physical fitness, but the technical requirements are not low at all, so it has always been the most influential swimming style in the swimming world.

China's butterfly swimming has not produced any results until 40 years later, which is also a common weapon used by European and American media, including Japanese media, to ridicule the Chinese swimming scene, and the voiceover is nothing more than the Chinese race, which is almost the sick man of East Asia.

In this game, no one cared about the slightly thin Shen Lang, but he was very present from the beginning of the game.

Shen Lang's group includes the bronze medalist in the men's 100m butterfly from the last Olympics, Davide López from Spain.

The guy was the natural favourite, and he went into the water first with a start time of 0.68 seconds.

However, Shen Lang's movements were faster, he ranked first in this group by 0.66 seconds, and then used the limit of the first 25 meters to dive, combined with the "dolphin legs" leg technique used upstream and back, and actually left the other competitors behind.

Davide López, after all, was the Olympic bronze medalist, and although he didn't notice the performance of the other competitors and even saved a little strength, he still caught up before he turned halfway through.

However, Shen Lang's half-turn has always been a technical strength, and he used a perfect turn to overtake Davide López again.

It's a pity that the 16-year-old's body is still inferior to the adult player in terms of explosiveness, and Shen Lang's speed in the later stage still decreased a little, and he was finally hit by Davide López with a slight advantage.

But even if he didn't win the first place in the group, the coaches of the other seven players in this group still looked in disbelief, because Shen Lang swam out of the second place in the group, and his time was 53.89 seconds!

Feng Jingyuan raised his hands and high-fived each other with the coaches and team leaders around him.

At present, the men's 100m butterfly long course world record is 53.31 seconds, and the Asian record is 54.02 seconds.

This can be seen from the fact that he and Davide López hit the wall almost at the same time, even if the latter did not give his best in the preliminaries, Shen Lang's performance was surprising enough.

The contestants in this group, as well as the coaches, also secretly remembered Shen Lang's name.

This kid can swim so well at the age of 16, and he will definitely be the top player in this project in the future!

"What an amazing result, you swim well!"

Davide López didn't know he was almost overtaken by a 16-year-old in the water, only to find out after finishing the match that he almost finished second in the group.

His time in the preliminaries was 53.79 seconds, and the gap between the two was very small.

"Thank you!"

Shen Lang didn't say much, this is already his personal best, and it is difficult to break 53.80 seconds during this World Championships.

So don't think about medals, he just wants to make it to a final.

A total of 68 athletes participated in the men's 100m butterfly, divided into 9 groups for the preliminaries, and the top 16 also entered the semifinals.

Shen Lang's group was Group 5, and after waiting for more than an hour, the matches in all groups were over.

The Chinese swimming team is anxiously waiting for the final result, this time the Chinese team sent only one person to participate in the 100-meter butterfly, Shen Lang, who belongs to China's only seedling in this swimming style.

"Lao Feng, the results are out!"

"What's the rank?"

The leader of the Chinese swimming team was responsible for getting back the preliminaries from the event organizers, and Feng Jingyuan saw that he was back, so he asked from afar.

"10th place! This is our best result, and it is also the best result in Asia, Shen Lang broke two Asian records in a row! ”

With a smile on the face of the team leader, Shen Lang's trip not only broke the best record in China, but also broke the Asian record.

There are a total of 8 Asian athletes participating in the 100-meter butterfly at this World Championships, and Shen Lang's results have overwhelmed all Asian athletes.

Shen Lang shook his head, what he hoped was to enter the top eight, which at least meant that he had a chance to enter the finals, but now it seemed that he would swim to the semifinals at most, and there was little hope of swimming into the finals.

On the second day, the preliminaries for the 200m and 400m events continued.

Shen Lang's recovery ability is very good now, even if he doesn't borrow cards, participating in the four competitions will not make him feel very tired.

This morning's 200m freestyle heats were the second best of his current sport, mainly because of his excellent underwater rotation skills, and the 200m had three wall turns, which allowed him to compensate for some of his physical disadvantages.

In the end, he swam his best again in this event, setting a new Asian record of 1:48.28 seconds.

That's nearly a second faster than the original Asian record of 1:49.25 seconds, but there are too many masters in this event, and this result is still only enough for him to enter the semi-finals with a time of 11th place, and 80% of the finals still can't make it.

Shen Lang still has a lot to play in terms of technology, but he didn't show most of it in this World Championships.

The first is that even if you take out all the killer features now, you may not be able to swim into the top three, and the second is that the influence and benefits of the Olympic Games are much higher than those of the World Championships.

With two years to go until the Olympics, it would have been better if he had done his best at the World Championships, but it's hard not to notice that he's only 16 years old.

And two years is enough time for the European and American swimming teams to explore some of the skills he has shown, and at that time, his technical advantage will definitely be greatly reduced.

The techniques he uses now are not ahead of his time, but he has some characteristics and innovations of his own, so that even if he can swim to the finals, it will not attract too many people's attention, let alone attract others to study his every technical move.

In the 200-meter butterfly preliminaries in the afternoon, Shen Lang also swam a good time of 1:58.05 seconds.

This is his best discipline at the moment, and this time is almost a second above the previous Asian record of 1:58.74 seconds, and although it is still some way from the world record of 1:56.14 seconds, it is enough to put him in the top eight.

In the end, Shen Lang ranked 8th among the 54 contestants, and entered the main competition for the first time with the top eight results in the preliminaries.

But this breakthrough result, which made the Chinese swimming team eager to tell each other, could not even suppress the news that Li Junwei and Zhen Aiguo went to Europe for trial training in China.

The two didn't have many opportunities to perform at the World Cup and were average when they came on the pitch.

However, their talent is not bad, they are young, and they are also good qualifications to pull to Europe, and the worst is the level of the main teams in the middle of the five major leagues.

After the World Cup, they accepted the invitation of several European teams to go to the trial, and it is not certain whether they will stay in the end, but even this kind of news is a little more than Shen Lang broke four Asian records in a row at the World Championships.

Wu Jie had already traveled to Japan at this time, and as soon as he got off the plane, he received an important news that Mateus had transferred to Bayern for a price of 3 million marks.

But the news didn't come as a surprise to him, as he suggested buying Mateus last season.

Now if Bayern doesn't make some moves in the transfer market, Wu Jie really won't sign a new contract easily.

He just wants to force Bayern to spend money to strengthen the team, because many opponents are in a frenzy of reinforcement this season, and he will overturn if he doesn't have a good helper.

The most noticeable change in European football this summer has been the increased mobility of players from various countries, as well as the increase in the number of South American players playing in Europe.

Juventus took Bonieke before buying Lin Yaodong, and then signed Platini.

Neither of them is an Italian player, but they are both well-known world stars.

Bayern have also started to chase American players who have performed well in the World Cup, but these players are not so willing to play in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, Portugal and including Serie A are the places that South American players like to go to.
