Before going ashore, Park Tae-hyung took off his diving goggles and looked at Du Ke in the swimming lane next to him.

Du Ke also looked at Park Tae-hyung, Park Tae-hwan's eyes are relatively big among Korean men, and he is a double-eyed and big-eyed Oba.

Park Tae-hwan swam to Du Ke and said to Du Ke, "@*¥#思密达." ”

Duke shook his head: "I don't understand Smecta, please-speak-English." ”

"Sorry......" Park Tae-hwan smiled apologetically, and then said in English: "Chinese friend, you have done a good job." "He's been playing abroad a lot since he was 17 years old, and he speaks English fairly well.

Doucle: "You-too." ”

Park Taeheng looked up at the information of the players in this group on the big screen, he just began to pay attention to Du Ke's name at this moment, and after reading the information on the big screen, he smiled and said to Du Ke: "Good name, Duke, Duke from China." Duke, you're swimming fast. ”

Duke was stunned, and then came to his senses, the names of the players displayed on the big screen are all in English, and the pinyin of the word Duke is "Duke", and Duke means Duke in English. Park Tae-hwan has never learned Hanyu Pinyin, and he pronounces Duke's name not as "嘚 Wudu, Grain Oke", but as "duke" according to the English pronunciation rules.

Du Ke also smiled politely: "learn-to-you." (Learning from you?) ）

I don't know if Park Tae-hwan can understand what Du Ke meant, he said: "In this project, it turns out that the Chinese team has a duke in addition to Sun, so we'll see you in the final, good luck." ”

Duke: "OK, see you final, good-luck." ”

After the incident, the Chinese and South Korean team members shook hands and went ashore.

After going ashore and signing in the referee area, Du Ke returned to the preparation area of the Chinese team.

Sun Yang, as the first brother, patted Du Ke as a big brother, affirmed Du Ke's performance just now, and then asked Du Ke with more interest: "What did you talk about with Park Tae-hwan in the pool, it seems to be very speculative?" ”

Du Ke: "First I expressed the greeting of learning from each other, and then he said see you at the final, and there were a few words before the final, and he spoke too fast and with a bit of Korean English accent, and I didn't understand what it meant." ”

Sun Yang couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't understand? Then you still shook your head and talked to him like a brother who had been reunited for a long time. ”

Du Ke: "It seems that I have to learn English well, in fact, I still want to say a few more words to Park Tae-hwan to explore his tone, and there are a few words that I can't remember, so I didn't say it." ”

"I know his tone without probing." Sun Yang said with certainty, "It's nothing more than trying to kill me, and now, he even wants to kill you together, hehe." That's what the Korean players are, there is a deep fighting spirit hidden under the politeness, and I know them too well. In short, Duke did a good job, and in the semi-finals, Park Tae-hwan was forced to do his best, so let's cheer together in the finals. ”

Sun Yang praised Du Ke like this, and the other young team members saw that Du Ke seemed to be moving closer to the direction of the third brother and the second brother.

On November 16, the preliminaries continued.

Du Ke paired up with Lu Zhiwu today to participate in the preliminaries of the 100 self.

The 50-meter and 100-meter sprint freestyle events are not only the weakness of the Chinese team, but also the weakness of the whole of Asia. Swimmers from China, Japan and South Korea have proven that Asian power is on the rise in the freestyle middle-to-long distance events, including other strokes, but there is still room for breakthrough in the sprint freestyle, which is similar to the track and field run. People all over Asia are looking forward to the emergence of an Asian flying fish in the sprint freestyle event to break the monopoly of white athletes, just like Liu Xiang, the Asian flyer who was born back then.

In the middle and long distance freestyle events, the Asian pattern is that China and South Korea compete for hegemony, in fact, it is the Chinese number of generals who encircle and suppress Park Tae-hwan, or it can be said that Park Tae-hwan alone single-handedly competes the entire Chinese team. The Chinese team has good players such as Sun Yang, Du Ke, Hao Yun, etc., while the South Korean team has only Park Tae-heng, who is similar to Waldner in the military arena back then, fighting against the entire Chinese men's table tennis team by himself, and can always cause great trouble for the Chinese team from time to time.

In the sprint freestyle, the Asian landscape has evolved into a two-man rivalry between China and Japan. Of course, this "male" should be put in quotation marks, and the quotation marks are limited to Asia.

The overall strength of the Japanese men's swimming team is actually very strong, the pride of the Japanese, the "frog king" Kosuke Kitajima has broken the world record of 100 breaststroke three times, he won all four breaststroke gold medals in the 100 meters and 200 meters at the 200 Olympic Games in 04 and 08 years, and was invincible in three consecutive World Championships, 03-09 During this period, Kosuke Kitajima dominated the breaststroke event in the world swimming world.

Kosuke Kitajima, who is 30 years old this year, is currently in semi-retirement and did not come to Dubai. However, the Japanese team also has Matsuda Shoshi, Tachishi Yu, Irie Ryosuke, Ogino Kosuke, Gao Sangjian and other masters, several of them together won 7 medals for the Japanese team in the London Olympic swimming competition, although they did not win a gold medal, but the current overall strength of the Japanese men's team is definitely not worse than the Chinese team.

The Chinese men's team won two golds and one silver in the individual swimming event at the London Olympics, all of which were won by Sun Yang alone (400 self, 1500 gold medal, 200 silver medal). In the 4*200m freestyle relay, relying on Sun Yang's powerful sprint at the last baton, the Chinese men's team grabbed a bronze medal in the relay race. Even if the number of medals is counted, the Chinese men's team is not as many as the Japanese men's team, and the number of gold medals highlights the peak strength, while the number of medals represents the overall strength of a country. Of course, the Chinese women's team can crush the Japanese and South Korean women's teams, and the status of Chinese women is becoming more and more noble, and Japan and South Korea are still in power, which may also have something to do with it.

The Japanese men's team of Olympic medalists who have competed in swimming at the London Olympics have all travelled to Dubai, sending Takeshi Matsuda and Ken Takasang to compete in the men's 100 free.

Matsuda Shoshi mainly focuses on the 200 butterfly and the secondary attack on the 200 self, he just worked part-time in the 400 self yesterday and reached the finals, and today he has to work part-time in the 100 self.

Gao Sangjian mainly focuses on the 200 mixed and 400 mixed games, and his participation in the 100 self competition is also part-time.

It can be seen that the talented Japanese men's swimming team does have shortcomings in the short-distance freestyle event.

However, even if they are part-time, the 100-meter freestyle sprint strength of these two Japanese athletes is not much weaker.

Duke and Lu Zhiwu successfully advanced to the first round of the 100 free, and they were placed in a group with Matsuda Shoshi and Takasang Ken in the semi-finals.

There were no big surprises in the semi-finals, Du Ke and Lu Zhiwu played steadily, and entered the 100 self-finals as the first and second in the group.

After the semi-finals of Duke's group, he took the initiative to greet Matsuda Shoshi in the swimming lane next to him: "Koniqi digs." "When he was a freshman, he taught himself a few words of Japanese while watching movies.

Matsuda Shoshi was a little surprised, this kind of Japanese greeting is generally not used in the pool, and "Konichi digging" is a daily communication phrase, which means good afternoon.

But Matsuda Zhangzhi was still very polite and bowed slightly in the pool, and returned: "Koniqi digs." ”

"Arnold......" Duke was organizing the language, and he wanted to express it in Japanese, "Dude, you can do it, you are the main butterfly and 200 self, yesterday compared 400 self with me, and today you are playing 100 self, you are really a well-rounded little expert." Anyway, why didn't the 100 Asian record holder of your Japanese team come? ”

Unfortunately, this passage was too difficult for Duke to explain in Japanese, and he couldn't say it in English, so he finally said, "good-luck." Then he went ashore.

Matsuda looked at Duke's back, and then looked at the semi-final results on the big screen, and was a little surprised in his heart: "This Chinese just swam 48.36 seconds, which is only a small gap of three percent from the Asian record held by our Uetani-kun, which should not be underestimated!" ”
