Chapter 026 - Go to the provincial team

On July 1st, college students were already on their summer vacation.

However, Du Ke didn't have to take a vacation, Hu Yucheng took him to the provincial swimming team, and today Du Ke officially reported to the provincial team.

"There is a classic song in Cantonese opera "The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms", which says that Su Qin, a poor child in the poor mountainous area, came to run and sealed the Xiangqing, and wore the six countries to promote the strategy of indulgence, and the scenery was infinite for a while, and it was a person who won the Tao and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven."

"I used to mess with me when you were a kid, but now, I have to with you. There are talented people in the country, and now they are all in the world of the post-90s, and the mood of our older generation of proletariats after the 60s is very complicated. Hu Yucheng said to Du Ke half jokingly and half embarrassed that he is now temporarily transferred to the provincial team, because he is very familiar with Du Ke, so as Du Ke's head coach, he is only responsible for Du Ke alone.

"Uncle Hu, your sword is not old, don't be inferior." Du Ke is also quite active in front of Hu Yucheng, he doesn't dare to joke with his father, let's talk about trouble with Hu Yucheng, but there is a kind of year-old and bad friend feeling between the two.

Hu Yucheng patted the back of Du Ke's head and reprimanded: "When I see Director Luo later, don't be so careless and don't speak in a measured manner, Director Luo is very serious, he doesn't like to joke with people, and he doesn't like others to joke with him." ”

The training base of the provincial swimming team is inside the Provincial Swimming Association, and there are armed police guards at the door.

The players of the national team in each project mainly rely on the provincial teams to transport, and the training of a national player, even if it is a player of the provincial team, the resources to be invested by the country and the provinces and cities are huge.

In the swimming pool of the training base, Du Ke met with the head coach of the provincial team, Luo Gui.

Coach Luo is an old man, thin, silver-haired, but the spirit is strong, he is nearly seventy years old, he has long passed the retirement age, and he is the head coach of the provincial team in the capacity of rehiring.

The old coach and old-timer in the swimming world didn't look smiling, and he didn't say much after seeing Du Ke, and asked Du Ke to change his equipment and swim back and forth in the pool to show him.

Director Liang of the Provincial Sports Bureau called Director Luo as early as last week, saying that there is a good seedling of college students that can be focused on, and he hopes to cultivate it in the provincial team.

The face of the leaders of the provincial bureau must be given, but Director Luo feels that it is a little abrupt, officialdom and workplaces have the phenomenon of parachuting to take over the command, or arranging for a leader's relatives to come in and occupy a pit and eat, but is it interesting to go through the back door in the field of first-line sports competition? In the competitive arena where strength is king, what is the plan to enter the professional team by relying on personal connections, how can I train if you want to insert a parallel goods into me? In the end, it is still up to the athletes.

In China, the purpose of cultivating professional athletes is to "start from the baby". Enlightenment, entering junior sports schools, amateur sports schools, professional sports schools, provincial and municipal professional teams (the most professional football basketball is to join the club to play professional leagues), and national teams are the most conventional and mainstream training methods. I started practicing at the age of five or six, and I can't become a talent if I don't practice hard for more than ten years. Even if they have practiced hard for more than ten years, those who finally reach the top are only a few of the few, which can be described as one out of ten thousand.

China is currently a big sports country, learning from the world's first sports power in the United States sports talent training mechanism, after entering the 21st century, the country vigorously promotes the model of "training high-level athletes through colleges and universities", and operates inter-school competitions in various projects, but at present, this model is still exploring and exploring, and the high-level athletes of college students are basically those sports students or sports special enrollment of various schools.

Duke did not take the sports school route, nor was he a sports major in college, the only thing that can prove his strength is a second-level athlete certificate, or track and field. Although I heard that Du Ke won two gold medals in the swimming competition of the Universiade, for the provincial team, it is nothing to win the gold medal in the Universiade, Director Luo still watched Du Ke, a newcomer who was forced into the provincial team, to try out.

After seeing Luo's guidance, Du Ke also put away his free and easy temperament, and he took the pool trial very seriously, and he swam 100 free in a row with three stunts, and the result was 50.45 seconds, which was slightly faster than his record in breaking the Universiade.

Even if he is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, Director Luo, who was a little skeptical just now, is now talking about the madness of his youth, and he shouted: "Genius! Wizard! Wizard! ”

The old man, who usually rarely smiles and has no waves in the ancient well, is so full of emotion at this time, which attracts the members of the provincial team to do onlookers and watch the newcomer in the pool.

Coach Luo instructed Du Ke, who was about to go ashore: "Swim one more round trip." ”

From there, Duke swam another 100 self.

This time his stunts were all on the CD, and Duke swam hard to 55.38 seconds.

It's about 50 seconds slower than the first time of 50.45 seconds. 5 seconds is a big difference in the 100-meter freestyle.

The world record in the men's 100m freestyle is 46.91 seconds, the international athlete standard is 49.66 seconds, the athlete standard is 52.31 seconds, the first-class athlete line is 55 seconds, and the second-level athlete line is 1:05. It can be seen that after reaching the level of a first-class athlete at the professional level, two or three seconds is a grade, and the higher you go, it is not easy to improve by one more second.

Du Ke opened special skills to make a strong standard, close to the international athlete results, and without stunts and flat chopping, it is a first-class athlete level.

Director Luo, who was still in high spirits just now, was a little lost and confused at this time. He called Duke ashore and asked, "Why is the difference between the two times so big?" The first jump, turn, and the last 25 meters of fast kicks were very beautiful and made my eyes shine. How did you get weak the second time? Is it a fitness problem? ”

After swimming 100 meters twice in a row, Duke was still a little tired, and he gasped: "Whoa, whoa...... Luo Guide...... Give me an hour of rest and I'll be able to do my first time. In a short period of time, the potential is overdrawn and the powerful burst is too much energy, so I have to take a breath and slow down. ”

Hu Yucheng explained on the side: "Usain Bolt runs a few official races a year, and if he had been running for 9.58 seconds every day, he would have been overdrawn and retired early." Athletes in all sports must pay attention to protecting their bodies and prolonging their sports life. Are there still fewer elite athletes in our country who retire early due to excessive overdraft? After all, we are all flesh and blood, not the Iron Man of the United States. ”

"Yes. Well, this kind of thing has happened to many of my students. Director Luo nodded, sighed lightly with some regret, and then said to Du Ke with some stubbornness: "Then you take a rest first and go to the health room to recuperate." An hour later you swim again. "Older people are also generally stubborn, and sometimes they have to be more truthful and see is believing.

After a one-hour break, Duke's three-stunt cooldown was over, and he made another three-trick streak to set a time of 50.51 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle. In the 100 free event, he is now playing basically consistently, and his stunt performance is between 50-51 seconds, which is just a little bit short of crossing the 50-second mark. Swimming within 50 seconds means that you can basically enter the national training team, and swimming within 49 seconds is expected to hit the Olympic A standard.

The "letter of nomination" submitted by Du Ke was satisfactory to Director Luo, and the old man looked at Du Ke's eyes like an old jade craftsman who had been playing jade all his life had discovered a peerless beauty, and in his opinion, this piece of beauty could be further carved. This young man who was recommended by Director Liang is indeed very distinctive and has potential.

Director Luo instructed Hu Yucheng to take Du Ke well, and he pointed out Du Ke a few words from time to time. This veteran coach who has been teaching for more than 30 years is full of Tao Li all over the world, and his few words of guidance can be said to be the condensation of what he has seen and learned in his life, not only technically, but also psychologically, experienced, including the international and domestic swimming situation, as well as the correct three views of athletes.

Duke benefited enormously.
