Chapter 489: The New Man Laughs and the Old Man Cries

For this World Swimming Championships, Guo Zizhao is determined to win!

This is Guo Zizhao's first time participating in the World Championships in swimming, and this is a system reward of 10 attribute points! Moreover, this World Championships is also related to the task of the second stage!

As long as he can successfully win the two championships in the men's 50m and 100m freestyle this time, and then break the world record by the way, his second stage task will be completed.

Moreover, judging from Guo Zizhao's current strength, it can be said that he can be able to complete this task!

Especially at this year's World Swimming Championships, several of Guo Zizhao's main competitors actually hung up their exemption cards.

Former "Tsar of Swimming" Alexander. Popov, the former "king of the short distance", officially announced his retirement at the beginning of this year.

And "Dutch Flying Fish" Hockenband, due to the problem of a back hernia, also chose to give up this World Championships and underwent surgery.

As for "Torpedo" Thorpe, as early as after the end of last year's Olympic Games, he announced that he would temporarily leave the swimming arena for a period of rest. So far, I have no intention of returning to the arena!

With the withdrawal of these world's top flying fish, in the men's sprint freestyle event, in addition to Guo Zizhao, there is only American flying fish Phelps.

However, Phelps focused on the 200-meter freestyle in the freestyle. At this World Championships, although Phelps also competed in the men's 100-meter freestyle event, his best time this year was only 49 seconds, which is still far from Guo Zizhao.

Therefore, Guo Zizhao's opponents in these two events are only South Africa's Schumann and Netlin, Italy's Magnini, the United States' Lezac, and Croatia's Dragania and several old opponents in the Athens Olympics.

For defeating these opponents, Guo Zizhao is quite confident. Hey...... If even these people can't win by themselves, then what kind of "king of speed" is Lao Tzu......

……

In the next few days, Guo Zizhao rested while slowly carrying out some simple adjustment training, and by the way, he also cared about the performance of the Chinese team at this World Swimming Championships.

As in the memory of the previous life, today's Chinese team still has no advantages in water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming, and in the early competition, it can only stabilize other countries in diving events.

It's just that in this diving team, the figure of Guo Jinjin, the "Queen of Diving", is still there, but Tian Liang, the "Prince of Diving", is no longer nowhere to be found.

At the beginning of this year, in addition to Guo Zizhao's various gossip news, another sensational news in the sports world was the expulsion of the "Prince of Diving" Tian Liang from the national team.

The reason is also very simple, just like in the previous life, Tian Liang, who has a strong personality, is unwilling to be manipulated by the game management center in commercial endorsements, so he privately signed an agent contract with Emperor Company and began to set up his own brokerage team with great fanfare, not only to deal with his own business activities privately, but also to prepare for entering the entertainment industry in the future.

Even in this life, Tian Liang has been affected by Guo Zizhao's success, and he has become more bold and decisive in dealing with these things.

It's just that the final outcome is the same as in the previous life, Tian Liang overestimated his status in the eyes of the leaders of the field management center, and also underestimated the courage of Zhou Jihong, the leader of the diving team. The national diving team directly made an order, and Tian Liang was adjusted back to the Shaanxi Provincial Swimming Team, which is also embarrassing.

Tian Liang's matter is different from Guo Zizhao's situation.

Guo Zizhao was originally an athlete outside the system, and he had nothing to do with the travel center, so Guo Zizhao's commercial income travel management center did not have the slightest idea. At the same time, due to Guo Zizhao's huge reputation in the domestic and international sports world, as well as the big backstage behind it, the travel management center does not dare to have any unrealistic ideas.

However, Tian Liang is different! He was originally an athlete in the system, and now he wants to stand up for himself in commercial endorsements, doesn't that directly affect the interests of the entire travel management center?

Who can bear this?

If he is allowed to do this, everyone will follow the trend in the same way, and won't it be a big loss?

Therefore, after repeated communication to no avail, the travel management center directly used thunderbolt means to fire Tian Liang.

……

In addition to lamenting Tian Liang's matter, Guo Zizhao also met his "old rival" Chen Zheng in China last year among the players who participated in the national team's swimming competition.

After being severely educated by Guo Zizhao at last year's National Swimming Championships, the arrogant Chen Zheng also realized the gap between himself and the top international masters. After calming down and practicing hard for more than a year, Chen Zheng's strength has also been greatly improved.

Especially after being pointed out by Guo Zizhao that he was easily distracted unconsciously during the competition, Chen Zheng's performance in international competitions has also improved greatly.

At this year's national trials, Chen Zheng also swam a personal best of 49.50 seconds in the final of the 100-meter freestyle and successfully won another ticket to the World Championships. However, in the 50-meter freestyle event, Chen Zheng's results were still a little worse, and he unfortunately lost the opportunity to participate this time.

"Brother Guo, what do you think my results are this time? Can you make it to the semi-finals? When they were conducting adaptive training together, Chen Zheng also looked at Guo Zizhao expectantly.

"If you can swim the results of the domestic qualifiers, you will have no problem reaching the semi-finals. But ......," Guo Zizhao also said with a smile, "I guess if you want to enter the finals, you can't say." Although many masters did not participate in the competition this year, in the past two years, the overall level of international swimming has improved rapidly! ”

"Hmm......" Chen Zheng also nodded depressedly, "It seems that my progress is still not enough!" ”

"Huh...... It's okay, you're only 23 years old this year, and there's still room for improvement! But you have to hurry, in the future, if you want to enter the finals, it is estimated that you don't have a score within 49 seconds! Guo Zizhao also encouraged the other party, "So, keep working hard!" ”

After speaking, Guo Zizhao also plunged into the pool and swam happily.

Looking at Guo Zizhao's terrifying advance speed in the water, Chen Zheng couldn't help but sigh again. Brother Guo's strength seems to be a notch stronger than last year, I am really envious! I thought that my strength had improved a lot, and I could get closer to Brother Guo, but I didn't expect that the gap was getting bigger and bigger......

……

Chen Zheng's feeling is not wrong, Guo Zizhao's current swimming strength is basically about to reach the peak of his strength.

Technically, Guo Zizhao increased the "skill" attribute to 91 points after the Olympics, and is now able to play "advanced freestyle skills". The improvement in swimming skills alone can shorten Guo Zizhao's time by at least 0.3 seconds.

With the arrival of the "gorgeous turn" skill, Guo Zizhao's last weakness in the 100-meter freestyle event has also become another of Guo Zizhao's signature strengths! At least it is also an improvement of 0.5 seconds, which makes Guo Zizhao's strength also a big step forward.

In addition, after the Short Course Swimming World Championships at the end of last year, Guo Zizhao increased the "bounce" attribute to 81 points, and the improvement of this attribute can directly improve the results of the two skills of "shocking jump" and "gorgeous turn".

In this way, Guo Zizhao's overall strength in the men's 100-meter freestyle event has improved by about 1 second compared with the Athens Olympics!

Hey...... When Guo Zizhao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel proud. At this World Swimming Championships, even if you don't use any equipment, you can easily break the world records in two events!

Ha ha...... This time, the system rewards and system tasks, Lao Tzu is handy!
