To say that there is no pressure is to deliberately pretend to be forced, and Duke is a little pressured. Several of the main attributes of the swimming program, his speed and endurance are 13, skill is 9, and explosiveness is 7.

According to the system's rating system, below 10 is amateur; 10-20 is a semi-professional level, which is equivalent to the level of a second-level athlete;

21-40 is the professional level, which is equivalent to the level of first-class athletes, that is, the level of active athletes of provincial and municipal sports teams;

41-60 is national-level, that is, national brand players, athletes;

Over 60 are international-level, that is, the top players in the national brand, players with international competitiveness, and international-level athletes;

Above 120 is incredible, which is estimated to be beyond the limits known to humans.

Doucle's speed and endurance are both 13, which is equivalent to the level of a second-level athlete, but his skill and explosiveness are below 10, which is an amateur level. In terms of freestyle, he has just reached the level of a second-level athlete.

Su Yun is a second-level athlete, and she was eliminated in the preliminaries just now. So Duke is still a little stressed.

What Duke can rely on now is his stunts, and maybe a little luck.

The task required him to place in an official competition, so Duke had to make it to the final, which would be at least eighth. If you can't make it to the finals, you won't be ranked.

The 200m event is now over, and the men's 400m freestyle heats are about to begin.

Duke began to press his legs, flicked his arms, and it was about time for him to come out.

A total of 25 people signed up for the men's 400m freestyle, which was the smallest number of participants compared to the sprint event.

The 25 contestants were divided into four groups for the preliminary round, and the top two teams in each group advanced to the finals. Duke was placed in lane 2 of the first group, which had seven competitors and six competitors in the remaining three groups.

According to information obtained by Jiang Zhigang, if Du Ke wants to reach the final, he will have to face the challenge of two main competitors. Xu Wenlin in lane 4, he is from the Municipal Institute of Physical Education and is a swimming student. and Zhou Junwei in lane 5, who is from the Zhucheng branch of Jida University and has a Level 2 Swimming Athlete Certificate.

At least one of these two opponents will have to be faster for Duke to finish second in his group and reach the final.

"Let go of the burden, surpass yourself, and implement plan B." Jiang Zhigang patted Du Ke on the shoulder and said a very official word of encouragement.

Duke clenched his fists and roared, "The light of Demacia will shine on the whole world!" ”

"Very well, it seems that you don't have any baggage." Jiang Zhigang nodded, satisfied with Du Ke's relaxed state, "Who said this?" It's very imposing. ”

"Galen." Du Ke walked to the referee area with his hands in his hands and announced, the participants of the first group of the men's 400-meter freestyle preliminaries, please prepare.

Jiang Zhigang looked at Du Ke's back and muttered, "Galen? Which country's athletes? ”

After the athlete's identity was confirmed, Douc stepped onto the platform in lane 2. The other six competitors also stood on their respective platforms.

The referee team is confirming the timing device, and it is estimated that there is still half a minute to go before the start order can be sounded.

Duke turned his head and looked at the two competitors in lanes 4 and 5 on the right. The runner in the silver swimming cap in lane 4 is from the Sports Institute. The red swim cap in lane 5 is a second-class athlete, I'll go, wear such a coquettish swimming cap, Little Red Riding Hood.

Duke saw several people in the right stand waving at him, his teammates. There are a total of 7 teammates in this group, and Su Yun is now also sitting in the stands. Facing the right side of the stands, Duke leaned back in a gesture of shooting eagle owls, mimicking Bolt's signature celebration.

It's pretty similar.

Du Ke's teammates burst into laughter in an instant, and even Su Yun, who was in a bad mood, was amused by Du Ke.

The audience was noisy, some were amused by Du Ke, some scolded Du Ke for pretending, some watched the excitement for fear that the world would not be chaotic, and some praised Du Ke.

Most of the boys who scolded Duke for pretending to be forced were boys from other schools, and most of the people who praised Duke were girls. The Asian Games City is not far from Nangang University City, three subway stops, it is now more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, many college students have come here to watch the game, anyway, no money, you can also watch beautiful women and handsome guys. Boys love big wave girls, girls love long-legged Oba, and each takes what he needs.

Looking at all types of athletes, swimmers are undoubtedly the most shapely. Their muscles may not be the most explosive, but long-term swimmers tend to stretch their bodies like flowing water, and swimming is a very toning sport.

"The guy in lane 2 is cool."

"The legs are long, and I like the long-legged Oba."

"The fourth lane is also quite handsome, and the figure is really good."

"That handsome guy in lane 5, wow, and tattoos, so personal."

"So, I'm right to let you watch the swimming competition, you see, such a large group of little fresh meat without clothes is still the LIVE version."

Many female viewers began to comment on the seven male contestants preparing for the competition.

Duke posed in Bolt's celebratory moves, perhaps a bit of a pretense, but he wasn't untargeted, he was attacking the heart and playing psychological warfare. He hopes that his pretending will pull some hatred and thus affect the mood of his opponent.

A bit of a black belly, perhaps contrary to the principle of fair play advocated by Coubertin. But from the perspective of the art of war and tactics, this is called the trickery of soldiers. From the perspective of sports psychology, this is called the opponent's mistake is the foreshadowing of my victory.

Rational use of the rules of the game to create even 1% more chances of victory, you have to try, these are all taught to him by Duke's uncle.

It seems that Ducora has reached hatred, and the other six opponents are more or less dissatisfied with him.

"Silly X." Xu Wenlin in lane 4 looked at Du Ke and cursed.

"Where's the rotten boy?" Zhou Junwei in lane 5 snorted disdainfully.

On the left stand, a middle-aged man couldn't cry or laugh, he was Du Ke's father Du Dewei, a former member of the provincial swimming team, and now a deputy section-level cadre of the Sports Lottery Center, with three staff members under him.

There is also a middle-aged man sitting next to Du Dewei, who is Hu Yucheng, Du Dewei's former teammate and current coach of the city swimming team. Hu Yucheng smiled at Du Dewei and said: "Your little Du Gongzi's demeanor has not diminished back then, he has a lot more personality than you, like a mother." ”

Du Dewei: "It's not like his mother, he was taken by his uncle." Nephews like uncles are really like this. ”

Hu Yucheng: "Lao Du, what are you pulling me to see?" This is just the Universiade in the province, where is the attraction? You're not still thinking about asking me to recruit Du Ke into the city team, are you? How old is he, he must be twenty, right? ”

"I've just turned nineteen, and there's still potential to be tapped."

"Lao Du, I know that you want your son Jackie Chan to take over your class and become a professional swimmer, but ...... 19 years old is not young anymore, and it is basically stereotyped. The newcomers trained by our team generally enter the team at the age of fifteen or sixteen. So who, at the age of 13, entered our city team, entered the provincial team at the age of 14, and represented the national team in the Asian Championships at the age of 17, do you say that 19 years old is a little older? ”

"Ouch, you're a big man, look at it and you're going to die!"

……

At this time, the referee team has confirmed the electronic timing device, and the electronic starter has issued a preliminary order to remind the seven players to prepare for departure.

Seven competitors bent their knees and were ready.

When the start order sounded, the seven competitors kicked the platform hard, took off into the air, and got into the water to start racing.

After Duke entered the water, his tactical thinking was very clear, there was nothing to keep, and he went all out to reach the final.

While it is important to bring glory to the school, it is even more important to receive systematic rewards. You must reach the finals, and only after entering the finals can you rank in order to complete the system tasks.

Compared with the short-distance race, the 400-meter event needs to consider more detailed technical and tactical arrangements, with pace, frequency, and upward timing.

Jiang Zhigang formulated two sets of tactical plans for Du Ke, and plan A is to "follow closely in the future and rise in the future", that is, to strike at the rear. Plan B is "the first 50 meters will rise at a high frequency, leading the opponent, causing psychological pressure on the opponent, and the greater the pressure, the higher the probability of mistakes", that is, to strike first.

If there is no absolute strength, plan B has a bit of a gambling nature, the high/tide comes too early, and the end of the crossbow is in the back. But Jiang Zhigang still suggested that Du Ke take a gamble, which should be regarded as accumulating experience. Duke also likes option B, which is rich and dangerous. There is only one chance in the preliminaries, so when will you not be able to play at this time?

Therefore, Du Ke made a preemptive strike, and as soon as he entered the water, he stroked at high frequency, with full firepower and high-speed advancement. After the first 50 meters turned, he was in first place!

In second and third place are Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei, who are Duke's strongest competitors. The rhythm of Duke's sprint at the beginning caught them off guard.

Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei both regard themselves as swimming students, and they are quite angry, they are both aiming for medals or even gold medals in the finals, how can they be willing to lag behind a nobody? After the first turn, the two of them also increased their stroke frequency and chased after Duke.

Duke played an assault tactic, taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to rush and become the leader. But in fact, he didn't lead much, after the first turn, he was one position ahead of the second place Xu Wenlin, and after the second turn, he was only half a position ahead.

After the third turn, entering the 150-200m stage, Xu Wenlin overtook Du Ke to become the new leader, and Du Ke was pressed in second.

But his second child only fell behind for a few seconds and became the third, and Zhou Junwei also surpassed Du Ke to become second.

The current situation is that in the 200 meters, Xu Wenlin in lane 4 is temporarily ranked first, Zhou Junwei in lane 5 is half a body behind in second, and Du Ke in lane 2 is half a body behind Zhou Junwei in third.

The fourth-ranked player has been thrown by Du Ke by a position and a half, and the strength of the top three players Xu, Zhou, and Du is significantly higher than that of other players. It seems that the two spots in the final will be made out of these three.

After the fourth turn, he entered the 200-250m stage, and when he swam to 225 meters, the second and third rankings changed again, and Du Ke surpassed Zhou Junwei to regain the second position.

Duke was already feeling tired and under a lot of pressure, and he realized the strength of two strong opponents. He is desperate for his life.

Jiang Zhigang rushed from the athletes' standby area to the edge of the pool at this time, and shouted at Du Ke: "Du Ke! The last 100 meters! Keep it up, keep it up! He was thrilled to see that Duke had snatched back the second.

"Please return to the standby area!" An assistant referee drank Jiang Zhigang seriously.

Jiang Zhigang made an embarrassed gesture, and slowly moved towards the standby area step by step. It's not that he doesn't know the rules, and he is indeed a little excited.

In official swimming competitions, coaches and no one are allowed to approach the pool except for the referees. In less formal competitions, some coaches will remind athletes how many meters they have left, but in official competitions there is no need to do so. For each round trip (100 meters), the assistant referee will flip a sign by the pool to remind the swimmers that there are a few rounds left. With the last 100 metres left, the assistant referee rings the bell, which is so crisp that even the spectators in the stands can hear it.

After the fifth turn, entering the 250-300m stage, Zhou Junwei, who was ranked third, suddenly burst out with a strong momentum and once again surpassed Du Ke to become second. This is not over, he cleaved the waves in one go, and when he swam to 290 meters, he surpassed Xu Wenlin, who was in first place, and became the new leader.

At this time, the assistant referee at the poolside rings the bell to remind the athletes that there are still 100 meters left!
