Chapter 552: Someone wants to rebel, and the Great Demon King decides to suppress it

This was followed by the men's 200 back semifinals, with Duke playing again after a break of more than half an hour. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info old way, just play soy sauce to enter the finals, after all, there are 200 mixed semifinals and 200 frog finals later.

Duke was confident in the 200 and swam as he swam around, looking left and right from time to time to observe the other lanes.

Because of the particularity of the backstroke stroke, coupled with the courage of Duke Duke's artist, he suddenly raised his body position and quickly turned his head during the backstroke swim, which has become his signature move.

The audience was amused and applauded.

In the end, Duke won the first place in the first group of the 200 back semifinals, with a time of 1:54.91.

"Swim in 1 minute and 55 seconds, ok." Duke glanced at the semi-final results on the big screen and went ashore.

As far as the men's 200 backstroke event is concerned, he can swim within 1 minute and 55 seconds in the past one or two years, which is basically the top five results in the finals of the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

Duke returned to rest and prepare for the 200 mixed semi-finals, while also paying attention to the 200 back-up second group semi-finals.

Looking at it, Du Ke felt that something was wrong: "In the semifinals of the second group of 200 backs, they are swimming too fast in the future, right?" Almost everyone rushed fiercely, including Xu Jiayu. ”

Coach Zhou Jianlin also felt strange: "Yes, are they fighting the semifinals as finals?" ”

In the pool, there are still more than 30 meters left, Xu Jiayu slammed hard, and he found that he seemed to have fallen to the bottom one or two in the diving stage of the last turn! So he didn't want to make a daunting swim in the last 50 meters, otherwise he could be eliminated.

In the end, Xu Jiayu won the sixth place in the group with a new PB score of 1:55.04, he has not refreshed the 200 back PB for two years, and in the semifinals of this Olympic Games, Xu Jiayu was forced to be in a hurry, but he only ranked sixth in the group.

After the total results of the men's 200 back semifinals came out, Du Ke and Zhou Jianlin were taken aback.

first, Larkin in 1:53.36;

second, Murphy, 1:53.40;

third, Ryosuke Irie, 1:53.77;

fourth, Deanean, 1:54.45;

fifth, Rilloff, 1:54.82;

sixth, Doucle, 1:54.91;

seventh, Bogrush, 1:55.00;

Eighth, Xu Jiayu, 1:55.04.

In ninth place was Poland's Kowicki with a time of 1:55.10, who was eliminated by 0.06 seconds behind Xu Jiayu.

Duke swam 1:54.91 to finish first in the first group, and combined with the total results of 16 players in the two semi-final groups, Duke ranked sixth in the overall score of the semi-finals.

The top five overall scores are all players in the second group, and Xu Jiayu is also a player in the second group, he ranked sixth in the second group and eighth overall, and advanced to the men's 200 back finals.

Australia's Larkin swam 1:53.36 overall, and in absolute terms, Duke was not afraid to beat the 1:53.36 and held the men's 200 back world record of 1:51.82.

What frightened Duke was that the three famous generals of the second group, Larkin, Murphy, and Ryosuke Irie, rushed to the death from the start, and it seemed that tomorrow would be their end, and they had to go crazy tonight.

The three famous players from Australia, the United States, and Japan seem to have reached some tacit understanding, and they are crazy with the rhythm, and the second group as a whole swims into the rhythm of the fast.

Germany's Dinean and Russia's Rillov are not very well-known rookies, young people love people crazy, and the three famous old drivers lead the rhythm, and the two of them get on the boat as soon as their new brains are hot, and they also swim fast.

Xu Jiayu was forced to have no choice, he gritted his teeth in the last 50 meters of swimming, and forced his PB to grab the sixth place in the group and the eighth overall score, and it was very thrilling to get a place in the final.

Before the race, Duke thought that he would swim within 1 minute and 55 seconds, and it would not be a big problem to get the top four or even the top three overall, but he didn't expect to finish sixth overall.

The top six players in the semi-finals all swam within 1 minute and 55 seconds, and the three of Larkin, Murphy and Ryosuke Irie swam within 1 minute and 54 seconds.

The format of the semi-finals is that 16 players are divided into two groups to swim two shots, and the top eight teams in the two groups will advance to the finals.

Theoretically, there is a possibility that the top eight finalists are all from the same group, but this is rarely the case.

After the semi-finals of the men's 200 back at the Rio Olympics, Duko found that six players from the second group had advanced to the final, while only two from his first group had advanced: himself and Bogrush of the Netherlands.

"Conspiracy, it's a conspiracy!" Zhou Jianlin suddenly realized and said with a cold face.

"Coach Zhou, are you saying that the three players in the second group of Australia, the United States, and Japan deliberately led the rhythm to drive the whole group to swim faster?" Duke reacted quickly, and he realized, could this be an organized and disciplined transnational operation?

Zhou Jianlin: "Larkin, Murphy, and Ryosuke Irie all swam within 1 point and 54, I won't be too surprised because they have this strength." However, they fought so hard in the semi-finals, and it must have been a pre-agreed collective act. ”

"They know that you've swam all out in the 100 finals, and then there's a 200 mixed semi-finals and a 200 breaststroke final, and in order to save your stamina, Duke you're going to play soy sauce in the 200 backs semi-finals, because that's what you did the other day."

Duke: "So? ”

Zhou Jianlin said with some worry: "It turns out that you did this, you swam 1:54.91 in the first group of semifinals in the 200 back, and those guys from Australia, the United States, and Japan saw the opportunity, and they rushed the rhythm in the second group of semifinals, and they wanted to squeeze you out of the finals!" Don't think that this kind of unlikely event really won't happen, anything can happen in the Olympics! ”

Du Ke's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly: "You mean, they joined forces just to kill me?" ”

Zhou Jianlin: "This is an alternative kind of horizontal and vertical, because of the particularity of the swimming project, everyone swims in their own lanes, there is no physical confrontation, and there is no collective set of tactics, relay race tactics are strategic arrangements, in fact, it is to carry out the arrangement and combination of sticks and candidates, and will not directly interfere with the opponent." But the second group of ghosts, devils, they use some elements of the format to unite against you. ”

"If you have to find a weakness for you who are so strong that you are perverted, it is that your schedule is too dense, and you need some time to recover your strength, so within two hours of the night game, there are always one or two matches where you choose to play soy sauce, and if you can reach the final, you don't demand results. They're using the format to counter you with this unconventional tactic. As long as they can catch an opportunity, it is a profit for them. ”

"If Duke doesn't make it to the 200 backs finals, the biggest winners will be the United States, Japan, and Australia, as for who can win the gold medal, it's up to their own abilities, without the big demon Du Ke appearing in the finals, they will at least have a chance to win the gold medal. This is all driven by interests, in fact, you can understand it if you think about it. ”

"Seems to be the case." Douc nodded.

Zhou Jianlin: "There are a total of nine gold medals in men's swimming, and you have won eight of them. Except for the gold medal in the 4x100m freestyle relay that was taken away by the American team, the rest of the men's swimming gold medals were dominated by you and the Chinese relay team led by you, so the athletes from the United States, Australia, and Japan united to rebel against you! The number of people in the finals of each individual competition from these three countries ranks in the top three, and the men's swimming teams of the United States, Australia and Japan have suffered the most losses against the background of the big demon king Du Ke's crazy gold. The World Swimming Championships are up to you, but this is the Olympics, the Olympics every four years. ”

"Rebellion, yes?" Du Ke smiled and said, "Okay, then I can only suppress them." (To be continued.) )
