In the men's 50m freestyle heats in Group 3, Duke finished first in the group, equalling the world record held by Cielo with a time of 20.96 seconds.

When Duke arrived, he looked at the results on the big screen.

"Whew......" Du Ke looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, regretful, it's flat, it's just a little bit. Although he did not break the world record of 50 self, Duke broke his own Asian record, earning 15 bonus points and 58 bonus points for his balance.

"Ahh No way? No matter how fast it is 0.01 second, it's enough! The Chinese reporters at the scene thumped their chests and looked even more frantic than Doke.

After going ashore, Du Ke returned to the preparation area of the Chinese team, sat next to Ning Zetao, and began to recover his strength.

Ning Zetao shook his head: "Hey, I feel sorry for you too, Du Ke." You see, our Chinese journalists are going to collapse. ”

Doucle: "Leave me alone, mind yourself." Comrade Ning Zetao, I will hand over the unfinished business to you, tell me, do you have confidence? ”

Ning Zetao replied: "I really want to eat steamed buns, I have been in Spain for more than 20 days, and I haven't eaten a bite of steamed buns, and I am hungry." It's better to fight at home, and there are buns to eat at home, and it would be good if the next World Championships were held in China. ”

Duke: "The next session in Kazan, Russia, has already been decided. The next time you bring your own flour, stuffing, and steamer to Kazan, and make your own buns for yourself, maybe you will become famous in Kazan. ”

Ning Zetao: "You have to bring alkali and use it for dough." ”

……

Du Ke and Ning Zetao chatted and chatted, the matches in the 4th and 5th groups of the men's 50 self-preliminary round have ended, and the 6th group will be played soon.

Ning Zetao got up, put on his swimming cap and swimming goggles, and walked towards the starting area, he was in the 6th group, it was time for him to play.

Ning Zetao was placed in lane 2, and his group was stronger than Russia's Morozov and Canada's Damston.

The competition in the 6th group began, Ning Zetao's opening performance after entering the water was not amazing, after 25 meters, he began to explode, and after surpassing three people in a row, he won the first place in the group, with a time of 21.70 seconds.

Ning Zetao's preliminaries time of 21.70 seconds is currently third, ahead of Du Ke and the current 50 self world record holder Cielo.

After the group stage of the next three preliminaries, the rankings of Duke, Cielo and Ning Zetao have not changed, and they are the top three in the men's 50 self-qualifiers.

Duke and Ning Zetao teamed up to advance to the semifinals of the men's 50m freestyle, which will be played tonight.

After the men's 50m heats, the competitors rested for more than two hours.

At 19 o'clock in the evening, the night game is about to begin.

There will be four rounds during the night, followed by the 50 Breaststroke Semifinals, 50 Free Semifinals, 400 Free Final, and 200 Back Finals, and Duke will compete in three races in addition to the 400 Free.

First up was the women's 50 breaststroke semifinals, and Shi Jinglin of the Chinese women's team ranked 16th in the preliminaries and advanced to the semifinals.

However, in the semi-finals, Shi Jinglin's luck was not so good, and despite her full play, her semi-final results did not rank in the top eight, and she finished 12th in the semi-finals, missing out on the final.

The women's 50 semi-finals will be followed by the men's 50 semi-finals.

Duke qualified for the men's 50 breaststroke semi-finals with a third-place finish in the heats, and was placed in the second group of the semi-finals.

In the 50 frog event, the Chinese men's team and women's team have eliminated three people, leaving only Du Ke as a lone seedling.

Now not only the coach of the Chinese men's swimming team has high hopes for Du Ke, but also the officials of the Chinese swimming corps, Chinese reporters and spectators on the scene, as well as sports enthusiasts and swimmers in the Oriental motherland, and even commercial brands that have nothing to do with Du Ke, they all hope that Du Ke can advance to the final of the men's 50 breast.

If Duke can't make it to the 50 finals, it means that the Chinese team is completely wiped out in this event.

It is understandable that officials of the Chinese swimming corps, Chinese journalists and spectators, and domestic sports enthusiasts have high hopes for Du Ke, but why do commercial brands that have nothing to do with Du Ke also hope that Du Ke can enter the finals?

Because these commercial brands advertise on CCTV 5, if Duke or other Chinese players advance to the finals more times, then the ratings of CCTV 5 will be higher, and the higher the ratings of CCTV 5, the commercial brands advertising on CCTV 5 will naturally be happy.

From the director to the on-site commentator and the live broadcast team, they are also looking forward to the more finals that Du Ke can advance, the better, and the ratings have increased, in fact, the biggest benefit is Yang 5, so Yang 5 should be the most eagerly looking forward to Du Ke's excellent performance. There are no Chinese players participating in the competition, except for a few senior swimmers, few people in China will watch the live broadcast.

Oh, there is another Hong Kong company that also has strong expectations for Du Ke, that is, Bode Company, which signed an endorsement contract with Du Ke, for a very simple reason: interests.

I don't know if Du Ke himself can feel that so many pairs of eyes at home and abroad are watching him, those he knows, those he doesn't know, family members who are related by blood, strangers who have no relationship, those who have signed a contract with Du Ke and have a direct interest binding relationship, and those who have not signed a contract with Du Ke but can indirectly benefit from Du Ke...... They were all watching Duke.

At this time, the first group of the men's 50 breaststroke semifinals has ended:

The current 50 frog world record holder, South Africa's Van der Bergh finished first in the group with a time of 26.87 seconds;

New Zealand's Saunders finished second in the group with a time of 26.95 seconds;

Brazil's Gomez finished third in the group with a time of 27 seconds;

Greece's Conniedras finished fourth in the group with a time of 27.02 seconds.

……

Duke felt some pressure and finished third in the 50m breaststroke heats with a time of 27.02 seconds, the latest Asian record in the men's 50m breaststroke.

In the first semi-finals of the men's 50 breaststroke, three competitors swam faster than Doucle's new Asian record, while Greece equaled Doucle's Asian record.

It seems that in the semi-finals, all the players showed 100%, even convulsions, and played at a super level.

According to the rough estimate of the results in the first semi-finals, Du Ke will have to swim at least 27.02 seconds again in the semi-finals of the second group of the 50 breasts to advance to the finals.

And, Duke can't just think about a 50m breaststroke semi-final.

After the 50 breaststroke semi-finals, Duke had a break of about 20 minutes before continuing to compete in the men's 50 freestyle semi-finals.

The time he can rest is the time of the two women's 50 self semi-finals and the first semi-final match of the men's 50 free, counting some fragmentary time, at most 20 minutes will not exceed half an hour.

After the 50 semi-finals, Duke couldn't rest for long, and had to swim in the 200 back final. The amount of time he can rest is the time he had in the 400 free-style finals.

Physical fitness is one thing, and stunt CDs should also be considered for reasonable distribution. If you get all the stunts in one game, Duke will most likely face a situation where the next game will be out of action.

It seemed that on the night of the second matchday, Douc faced his toughest challenge since the start of the tournament. (To be continued.) )
