There are still more than 20 days before the opening of the Provincial University Games, and during this time, Du Ke went to the swimming pool every day to train with other team members.

Although they train every day, the swim team trains for less than 3 hours a day on average.

The swimming pool of Nangang University is open to the public, and students of the university can enter the swimming hall after 7 p.m. Jiang Zhigang can occasionally close the gym for a day or two for full-day training, but he can't close the gym every day, he is just a physical education teacher and not the principal, and the natatorium was not built by him with donations.

So the swim team can only train after 7 p.m., and the team members come from various colleges, and they have to go to class during the day, and they can only train at night.

There is no way, who makes the swimming team unable to achieve impressive results.

The varsity basketball and soccer teams have their own dedicated training facilities that are 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The main task of the players of the basketball and soccer teams is to train, play games, and get good grades, and they don't have to worry about their studies, someone will help them get it done.

The strong are always strong, the team with good results can get more resources and support, and the top students in each sports special enrollment are sent to the basketball team and football team. The weak are even weaker, and teams with poor grades, such as the swimming team, can only survive in the cracks, and select students with a little swimming talent from the general public.

When Duke first entered the school in his freshman year, with the aura of a second-level athlete certificate, the school football team also sent someone to invite him to join, but he didn't go. He was a little tired of training day in and day out, and he didn't join any intramural sports teams.

After training in the swimming team for a week, Du Ke found that except for himself and Su Yun, the others were basically at the level of swimmers, at most they were in a standard posture and swimming faster among enthusiasts.

Du Ke and Su Yun received Jiang Zhigang's separate small-stove training, while the other team members supervised and learned from each other.

Time is limited, Jiang Zhigang can only focus on the key points and pin his hopes on Du Ke and Su Yun. Most of the other team members only received his professional training after studying in college, plus their talents and qualifications are mediocre, and they are all about 20 years old, no matter how much they practice, that's it.

In fact, Jiang Zhigang found that he couldn't teach Du Ke anything new, in the field of freestyle, Du Ke's swimming style and various technical movements are already very standard, what Du Ke has to do now is to go down to the pool to find the feeling, repetitive swimming, and adjust the physical condition, competitive state, and muscle state to the best before the competition.

The same is true for professional athletes, who repeat the same movements over and over again, to be the best they can be. Training is actually a very boring thing, and many people can't stick to it if they don't really love the project and have no hope or sustenance.

Duke is a lover of swimming, this is his enlightenment, and he now has hope and sustenance, so he trains very seriously. One stunt alone is not enough to ensure that he can be invincible, the special skill allows him to open and hang in 6 seconds, but in the time outside of 6 seconds, you still have to rely on your own comprehensive strength, you have to be dozens of meters behind others, and it is useless to hang up.

In addition to the three hours of training in the pool every day, Duke volunteered to increase muscle training during the day.

The purpose of muscle training is to enhance muscle power, and Duke mainly uses barbell squats to improve leg power, and he does 3 hours of barbell squats every day. He knows very well that his weakest thing now is explosiveness, so he has to make up for his shortcomings.

After training non-stop for more than 20 days, Duke found that his attributes had changed slightly, his explosiveness was +1, and now it was 7, while his other attributes remained the same.

It seems that it is possible to increase the value of the attribute through training, but it does so slowly. Duke has been training intensively for more than 20 days, and his explosive power is +1, and it seems that he is still getting rewards through system tasks.

In a blink of an eye, on May 4, coinciding with Youth Day, the 7th Provincial University Games was grandly opened in Nangang City, the capital of Nanyue Province.

All the competitions of this provincial Universiade were held in the Asian Games City, where the 16th Asian Games were held, and the hardware facilities of the venues reached the international competition standards.

A total of 115 universities and vocational colleges in the province participated in the Provincial Universiade, and a total of 2,118 contestants were dispatched, which was the largest number of participants in the past.

More than 2,000 college athletes from all over the province will compete fiercely in 13 major sports, including track and field, swimming, gymnastics, basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, and table tennis.

As a key university, Nangang University attaches great importance to the Provincial Games, and they sent a team of more than 100 athletes to participate in the Provincial Universiade. Among them, the number of players with three balls and two small balls (badminton and table tennis) accounts for more than 70%.

The leader of the team of Nangang University is Vice President Li, who is the second-in-command of the university, a powerful figure, and a deputy department-level cadre, which shows the importance of the university. Of course, Vice President Li is very busy, so he also set up a deputy team leader, with Director Ma of the Logistics Office as the deputy team leader, to coordinate and manage the specific affairs of the Nangang University team at the Provincial Universiade.

Vice President Li led all the athletes of Nangang University to participate in the opening ceremony held at the main venue of the Asian Games City on the 4th.

After the opening ceremony, Vice President Li entrusted the command to Director Ma and encouraged the students to work hard and strive for success.

After Vice President Li left, Director Ma made an impassioned mobilization to all the participants, and he encouraged everyone: "Friendship is very important, and achievements are equally important. It's about getting involved, but we're also trying to get as many medals as possible. Students, I hope you will play your best competitive state, achieve excellent results, and contribute your strength to our school in the competition for the third batch of 985 places! ”

All the team members applauded warmly, Director Ma announced the disbandment on the spot, and the teams of each project prepared separately under the leadership of the coach.

Du Ke and Su Yun are also in the team of Nangang University, and the swimming team of Nangang University sent 8 team members to participate this time, 3 from the men's team and 5 from the women's team. Under the leadership of coach Jiang Zhigang, 8 team members moved towards the swimming competition venue.

Jiang Zhigang muttered as he walked: "Bureaucracy, sports is sports, they fall in love with the platform, and they insist on having something to do with politics." ”

Du Ke asked, "What does this have to do with the competition of 985?" ”

It was Su Yun who answered: "It is said that the Ministry of Education has specially approved a 985 quota for our province, and several 211 universities want to upgrade, and our school is one of them." The leadership of 211 is at the department level, and the leadership of 985 is at the provincial and ministerial level, and after being promoted from 211 to 985, the administrative level of each functional department of a school from top to bottom must be upgraded by a grade. Who doesn't want to be promoted? ”

"Now we advocate all-round development, so colleges and universities must not only achieve major academic research results, but also make achievements in the fields of culture and sports, so as to add points on the road to compete for 985 places."

"Hey, Team Sue, you know a lot." Duke was a little surprised.

Su Yun: "I'm majoring in journalism, so I have to pay attention to a lot of information." Your whole family is in the system, don't you know? ”

Du Ke: "Dude, I never care about politics, this field is very deep, and it is not suitable for a simple person like me." ”

"Stop chattering, it's here." Jiang Zhigang said that they had arrived at the entrance of the Asian Games City Natatorium.

The venues of the Asian Games City are not far away, and you can walk to the next venue in a few minutes. The swimming competition starts on May 5, and there is no competition today, so the teams from each university can enter the hall to familiarize themselves with the venue.

Jiang Zhigang showed the pass to the staff at the door and led the 8 team members into the swimming pool. He asked the eight team members to go to the locker room to change into swimsuits and swim trunks, and prepare to go down to the pool to familiarize themselves.

Nangang University is not the only one who has come to familiarize themselves with the competition venue, other university swimming teams have come to the hall, and many competitors have already swam in the pool.

This natatorium hosted the swimming and diving competitions of the 16th Asian Games two years ago, the stands can accommodate nearly 3,000 spectators, the hardware is high-end, the facilities are advanced, and it is a standard 50-meter pool, which fully meets the swimming competition requirements of the provincial Universiade.

"A pressure plate is installed on the jumping platform, and the electronic timing device is jumped together to start the timer."

"The walls at both ends of the swim lane are covered with induction touch plates, and you must touch the wall when you turn around or reach the finish line, otherwise the results will be cancelled. Remember, this is very important, unlike our usual manual timing, I can open one eye and close one eye, you are a few centimeters away from touching the wall and I don't bother to say you, but the electronic induction timing is very accurate and strict, there can be no omission. ”

Jiang Zhigang led the players around the pool and reminded them of the precautions in the game.

After going around, they returned to the departure area, and Jiang Zhigang ordered: "Everyone goes on the jumping platform and starts once, finds a feeling, and swims 200 meters before going ashore." Also, don't swim too hard, take out the six or seven achievements of the usual training level. ”

Duke looked around the natatorium and watched the players from other schools adjusting to the pool, knowing that Jiang Zhigang had familiarized them with the pool but didn't want to expose their full strength. He asked Jiang Zhigang in a low voice: "Director Jiang, which schools have stronger opponents?" What is the approximate level of the swimming competition in this sports meeting? ”
