The two male team members and the fifteen female team members were all closely united around Jiang Zhigang, and they were all standing on the bank of the pond on the left.

Du Ke stood alone behind the diving platform in lane 2, and he didn't know what Jiang Zhigang was waiting for when he was alone.

At this time, Jiang Zhigang shouted to Du Ke: "Du Ke, continue to the second lane, 200-meter freestyle." ”

After hearing Jiang Zhigang's new instructions, Du Ke walked up to the 2nd lane diving platform and raised his right arm facing Jiang Zhigang for two seconds to signal that he was ready. Then he bent down on his knees and made a gesture of preparation for the jump.

Jiang Zhigang said to Liu Chenxiao and Wang Qiuyue beside him: "You guys wait a while to pay attention to Du Ke's aerial movements, especially the arm posture. ”

Then he said to the women, "You can also take a look." ”

Jiang Zhigang raised his left arm and sounded the preparation order long whistle, and two seconds later, sounded the departure command short whistle.

The whistle sounded and the man set off, and when Duke heard the whistle, he rose into the air, burrowed into the water, and swam forward with a chopping wave.

Jiang Zhigang instructed the team members face-to-face: "Du Ke's jumping and soaring action is very standard, his arms are very straight, and he is close to his ears. The straighter and closer the arms are to the ears when you are in the air, the palms will form a spearhead shape, and the less resistance you will have when entering the water, and the smoother the entry into the water. I've taught you many times, but none of you can meet the requirements. Su Yun and Zhou Feng barely met the standard, but they didn't have the standard that Du Ke did. ”

"Uh-oh." Liu Chenxiao and Wang Qiuyue nodded.

"Team Su and Team Zhou are professional, Du Ke heard that he has also received professional training since he was a child." One of the female team members expressed dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you trained professionally?" Jiang Zhigang glared at the female team members, "If you always call yourself an amateur, then your level will never be able to improve." ”

"Uh......" The female team members were trained by Jiang Zhigang and didn't dare to speak.

Su Yun was a little embarrassed, but also a little proud. What is embarrassing is that as the captain of the women's team, in the eyes of the coach, the technical essentials of taking off are just barely up to standard. Proudly, Duke was recommended by her. As for the Zhou team, he is the captain of the men's team, but he has been out of contact for several months, and it is said that he is not writing online immortal cultivation novels behind closed doors.

As he spoke, Douc had already completed his first 50-meter turn.

Jiang Zhigang pointed at Du Ke at this time, and began to train Liu Chenxiao and Wang Qiuyue again, saying Look at Du Ke's turn, that is the proper freestyle turn, you two have practiced for so long and can't even play a group turn, are you ashamed?

"Yes, yes, we must study hard and strengthen our training." Liu and Wang have a very good attitude, they don't talk back when they scold to death, and what the coach says is always right.

Du Ke was used as a textbook by Jiang Zhigang to demonstrate.

Although Jiang Zhigang is educating the male and female team members, his eyes have been focused on Du Ke in the pool. Du Ke had already turned around for the third time at this time, and began to swim the last 50 meters, Jiang Zhigang frowned thoughtfully, he had been observing Du Ke's leg frequency.

Duke swam 150 meters and had a steady rhythm, always hitting the leg at a 1-2-6 pace, and did not use eight more kicks.

In fact, Duke is also experimenting, the cooldown time of the stunt "8 kicks" is 1 hour, and he wants to try to use 8 kicks in a stroke cycle without relying on the special skill. The test result was: no.

The training that Duke received since he was a child was to hit the leg 6 times within 200 meters and 4 times above 400 meters, and he did not practice 8 leg kicks. This is a matter of habit, for example, if a person has walked for decades, the rhythm of the legs is left and right, and now he suddenly changes the rhythm of the legs to the left and right, and it will definitely not be changed in a short period of time.

Now swimming 200 meters, Duke was pleasantly surprised to find that his speed had become faster. He had just received a +1 bonus for all stats, and he had added all 5 bonus points to his speed stat, and he could feel the average speed of his strokes increase. This feeling is like driving, I am used to driving a car with a displacement of 1.6L, and now I have changed to a new 2.0L car, and the depth of the accelerator is the same, and I can clearly feel that the driving force of the new 2.0L car is stronger than that of the 1.6L.

By this time, Duke had already hit the wall and swam the 200-meter freestyle. Jiang Zhigang looked at the timer, 2:35.22, which is between a Level 3 athlete and a Level 2 athlete.

After Duke went ashore, Jiang Zhigang waved him over and ordered all the other team members to go down to the pool to start training.

Only Du Ke and Jiang Zhigang were left on the shore.

Jiang Zhigang asked: "In addition to freestyle, what kind of swimming style will it be?" ”

Du Ke replied: "Metropolis, but if it meets the level of participation in the Provincial Universiade, it is estimated that you can only swim freestyle and backstroke, and breaststroke and butterfly practice are average." ”

Jiang Zhigang smiled playfully: "Are you so sure that I will let you compete?" ”

Du Ke smiled: "Director Jiang has given me a chance, I will definitely do my best to win glory for this school." "He still has to coax Jiang Zhigang now, and he can't raise the bar anymore. Jiang Zhigang can let him go to the Provincial Universiade, and the person who knows the times is Junjie.

Regarding the question of the competition, Jiang Zhigang was noncommittal, and asked: "I heard that you have received professional training before, and when you are in the best condition, how long can you swim?" Estimated according to the level of the official competition. ”

Doucle: "By competition standards, the longest distance is 400 meters. ”

Jiang Zhigang said: "The Provincial Universiade will be held in this city at the beginning of next month, and the swimming competition will only have freestyle and breaststroke events, and one person can only participate in one event. If you sign up for freestyle, you can't swim breaststroke, and if you participate in 100 meters, you can't swim 200 meters. Since you're average in breaststroke, sign up for a freestyle competition. ”

Du Ke sighed and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Zhigang: "Thank you for your guidance Jiang, I will definitely live up to my mission!" I believe that under the leadership of Director Jiang's wise and martial arts, our school's swimming team will surely regain its glory and embark on the road of great rejuvenation. ”

Jiang Zhigang waved his hand, not eating Du Ke's sweet words, "Our school's swimming team has never been brilliant at all, what is the reappearance of it?" I've always only looked at the results, if you have the strength, you can be selected, and if you don't have the strength, you will be eliminated, it's as simple as that. This is also the rule of survival in all sports competitions, simple and brutal. After saying that, he seemed to sigh softly, as if he remembered something from the past.

Du Ke nodded: "What Director Jiang said is that the survival of the fittest, the strong is king, this is not only the law of sports competition, but also the law of all fields of mankind. ”

Jiang Zhigang: "The freestyle event of the Provincial Universiade has four distance events of 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, and there are no 1500 meters, and the province cannot get together 8 college students who signed up for the 1500-meter event. The 800-meter freestyle is only set up in the World Championships, and there is no men's 800-meter event even in the Olympic Games, so there is generally no men's 800-meter freestyle event in domestic competitions. 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m freestyle, which do you want to sign up for? ”

Duke thought for a moment and said, "I'm confident in my average speed and stamina, but my explosiveness is average. So I chose the 400-meter freestyle, the longest distance. ”

There is a basis for his choice, among the eight attributes, his speed and endurance are the highest, both 13, and in terms of individual attributes, speed and endurance have reached the semi-professional level. But the explosiveness is only 6.

The sprint races require explosive sprints, while the longer middle distance requires good endurance. All things considered, Douc decided to participate in the 400-meter freestyle.

"Oh, that's 400 meters. Su Yun will help you sign up in the next two days. Jiang Zhigang agreed, "From now on, you will be a member of our school's men's swimming team." Today is April 10th, and there are still 20 days before the opening of the Provincial Universiade, and from now on, you train with them. With that, he pointed to the players who were training in the pool.

Duke: "Okay. ”

Jiang Zhigang said again: "Just now you swam 100 meters, and you used eight leg hits in the final sprint. Was this kind of high-frequency leg beating inspired by you, or did you practice it specifically? When you swim 200 meters, why don't you see you hitting your leg eight times? ”

"My dad was a former swimmer, and he had a lot of valuable images of swimming. I have read these materials, before the 60s of the last century, many first-class swimmers attached great importance to leg beating, at that time the mainstream leg rhythm was more than 6 times, 8 leg beats were very common, 10 times. ”

"Later, it turned out that the forward push of freestyle mainly depends on arm strokes, so athletes began to reduce the frequency of leg strokes, after all, fast and high-frequency leg strokes are very physical. After my research, I felt that the whole process is definitely not suitable for 8 kicks, but using 8 kicks in a short period of time can improve speed. So when I was a child, I pondered it by myself, and I practiced 8 leg beats by myself when I had nothing to do. Eight leg beats were really physical, and I had to rest for an hour before I could use it a second time. ”

Combining the background of his athlete family and the history of the development and evolution of freestyle, Duke explained his stunt 8 leg strokes. I can't say that it was given by the system.

"Are you really a genius boy who has been thinking about this decades-old technology since you were a child?" Jiang Zhigang laughed and scolded that although Du Ke's explanation had some loopholes, it could be regarded as self-justifying, and Jiang Zhigang did not delve into it. As he said just now, he only looks at the results, only the results, and does not ask about the process and does not pursue history. And there have indeed been many talented teenagers in the swimming world, including world champions and Olympic champions in their teens.

The problem of participating in the Provincial Universiade was solved, and Du Ke became an official member of the men's swimming team of Nangang University, and the men's swimming team finally made up the minimum number of three applicants.
