Chapter 553: Weird, Wicked
Thirty minutes after the men's 200 back semifinals, the men's 200 mixed first group semifinals began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wang Shun was placed in the first group, and the masters in the same group as him were Phelps of the United States, Kosuke Hagino of the Japanese team, and Pereira of Brazil.
It's game on!
Phelps started with a rhythm, and his first stroke was the butterfly, which was Phelps' strongest stroke.
Phelps swam very fast, and he led the first group to a high level of overall speed.
"Did even Phelps do that?" Zhou Jianlin, who was in the preparation area, felt that the situation was getting more and more severe, and Du Ke was not by his side at this time.
Duke was in the second group of the 200 mixed semifinals, and he was in the same group as Lochette, who was waiting in the waiting room to enter.
An LCD screen hangs on the wall of the standby room, so you can see the real-time battle situation in the pool.
Duke also keenly discovered that Phelps's rhythm in the butterfly was very ferocious.
Phelps is estimated to have lost in the past two days, losing to Duke in 200 butterflies and winning a silver medal, and in the 4x200m freestyle relay, he was shocked by Duke in the last stroke and won another silver medal.
Phelps registered for the Rio Olympics 100 butterfly, 200 butterfly, 200 mixed and three relay races in a total of six individual events, and has completed three finals, winning one gold and two silver. His arrogant personality may be a little difficult to accept the result of winning two silver medals in a row. At last night's 4x200m freestyle relay victory ceremony, it could be seen that Phelps was very depressed.
In the pool, the semifinals of the first group of the men's 200 mixed entered the backstroke round, and now it is Kosuke Hagino who leads the rhythm.
Kosuke Hagino had two rounds of rhythm in the backstroke and breaststroke, and in the last round of freestyle, he was replaced by Phelps with the rhythm.
The two of them have a tacit understanding!
Duke suddenly had this instinct.
Sure enough, the United States, Australia, and Japan united to rebel, and even Phelps was involved!
There is a so-called tacit understanding on the football field, and the United States, Australia, and Japan were forced by Du Ke to be anxious, and they made full use of the competition system to invent a new type of transnational joint combat mode --- tacit cooperation.
In the end, Phelps won the group with a time of 1:54.92, Kosuke Hagino was second in 1:55.67, and Brazil's Pereira was third in 1:56.19.
Like Xu Jiayu, Wang Shun was forced to refresh the PB in the semi-finals, and he set a new personal best of 1:56.62 with a time of 1:56.66. Wang Shun, who has not been able to refresh PB for three years, won the fourth place in the group with the fastest personal 200 mixed score.
"The overall result of the first group was very fast!" Even Su Yun could see this, let alone Du Ke.
"Okay, since you have rebelled collectively, then I have no choice but to suppress it strongly." Duke didn't know whether to be proud or angry, and there were signs that even Phelps was involved in a transnational rebellion, which was going to make a big deal.
The rhythm of Phelps and Kosuke Hagino will naturally stimulate other players in the same group to swim faster, and Wang Shun was accidentally stimulated to the fastest 200 mixed results in personal history.
FINA is very happy that the overall performance of men's swimming has been greatly improved in this Olympic Games, and the overall level of international swimming has been rapidly raised. Swimming, a race sport that separates lanes, only speaks of results, and the overall performance accelerates, indicating that the swimming project is improving as a whole, which has a lot to do with one person--- Duke.
Middle-distance running with a group tactic aimed at a particularly strong runner often leads to the overall performance getting slower and slower. Because the middle-distance running does not divide the lanes, everyone plays intrigue and tricks, the gold medal is the first, and the result is second.
Swimming engaged in collective tactics against the big demon king Du Ke, but it led to the overall result of swimming faster and faster, so Du Ke didn't know whether to be proud or angry, so he could only go with the flow.
Three minutes later, the semi-finals of the second group of the men's 200 mixed began.
Duke started in lane 4, another superstar from the United States, Lochette in lane 5, another Japanese player in lane 6, and Australia's Beckman in lane 7, and the four were stronger in the group.
Duke was keen to keep his stamina for the 200 Frog Final, which starts 15 minutes later.
But after setting off, Duke found that this 200 mixed semi-finals had to score at least seven or eight points, or even more strength, otherwise he might be eliminated!
All of the people in the group were murderous, including Rochette.
Rochette is the fiercest one, he has been rushing and hitting since the butterfly, and he has a kind of determination to never die!
Duke and Lochte have a good personal relationship, but Rochette, who is swimming at full speed at this time, does not seem to know Ducques.
Rochet's semi-final was a ferocious one, even more so than he did in the men's 200 mixed final at the World Championships in Kazan.
Duke could only force down Lochette, and he started to exert his strength after entering the backstroke.
However, the backstroke was Rocht's first stroke, his strongest stroke, and Rochette continued to fight Duke in the backstroke round!
If Duke uses all his strength, it will be a sure thing to get Rochette in the 200 mix.
But Duke just wanted to get a spot in the 200 mixed finals in the most economical way, and he didn't want to fight Rochette or the rest of the players.
Rochette didn't want Duke to play soy sauce comfortably, he and Doucet fought for 50 meters in the butterfly and 50 meters in the backstroke, and only swam a little slower in the breaststroke, which is a relatively weak swimming style for Lochette.
Duke could also choose to let Rochette go and suppress the rest of the stronger players, such as Fujimori and Beckman. But he didn't do it, because the risk was too great, and one careless person could lose the city.
Doucle took the lead in the breaststroke and went into the final 50 meters of freestyle.
In the end, Duke won the first place in the group with a time of 1:53.96 and the first overall score in the semifinals, nearly one second faster than Phelps, who finished second overall.
"Whew~" After arriving at the side, Duke gasped for breath, Ma Dan's were all forced into 1 minute and 54 seconds by you!
More than 1 minute and 53 seconds, this can almost win the Olympic championship!
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, which in turn leads to more violent and brutal repression.
With a time of 1:53.96, Duke strongly suppressed the resistance of Rocht, Phipples and others, but he also paid a certain price.
Duke exerted a lot of energy to swim in the 200 mixed semifinals, which was completely different from his original plan, and he didn't know if he would be able to swim all the way to the 200 breasts finals, with only 15 minutes of rest.
Duke glanced at the results screen again, and Lochette was second in the group with a time of 1:55.11. Lochette finished third overall in the semifinals with a time of 1:55.11.
"Ryan, it's just the semifinals, don't be so ruthless, right?" Duke said to Rocht, who is next door to the fifth lane, to probe the Americans.
Rochette swam only 1:55.81 in the 200 mixed final of the World Championships in Kazan, and Duke remembered very well in that World Championships final, Rochette was also in the lane next to Duke and won the silver medal in the men's 200 mixed at the World Championships in Kazan.
Rochette took off his swimming cap and snorkeled across the buoy line between lanes 4 and 5 to reach lane 4 where Douc was.
Then something strange happened, and Rochette's hair suddenly turned green!
Rochette had dyed his hair a cool silver before he came to Brazil, and just now, when Rochette took off his swimming cap, he was still silver, and he swam across the buoy line to Doucle's fourth lane, and his silver hair instantly turned green.
Even the pool water around Rochette's body emitted a faint green glow, which was a supernatural feeling.
People like Duke who have seen the world can't help but be surprised when they see Rochette, who suddenly changes color: "Ryan, your hair? ā
"Leave the hair alone." Rochette said lightly, and then patted Duke on the shoulder: "You may face a bigger challenge next, good luck." With that, he went ashore.
It's so weird!
The Olympic scene is unpredictable, and Duke has just won his ninth Olympic gold medal, and soon after he is met with a collective resistance from the world's top swimmers.
Even Rochet, who has a good personal relationship with Ducco, suddenly turned into a green-haired weirdo, a bit of a turn of face and discognizance.
Turn your face and turn your face, each in the Olympics is its own master, and this is also something that cannot be helped.
Doucle didn't have time to ponder the demonic Rochette, because he had more important things to do, the men's 200m breaststroke final, the tenth Olympic gold medal waiting for him. (To be continued.) )
