Chapter 041: This Spirit Deserves Praise
The men's 4*100m freestyle final is about to begin, and the eight finalist teams and 32 fierce men are ready to start.
Located in the 4th, 5th, 3rd and 6th lanes are the Zhedong team, the Huhai team, the southern Jiangsu team, and the southern Fujian team, which are the four teams with the strongest comprehensive strength.
Located in the 2nd, 7th, 1st, and 8th lanes are the Nanyue team, the capital team, the Hebei team, and the People's Liberation Army team.
Compared to individual races, relay races are more enjoyable to watch. The number of participants alone is four times that of the individual competition, so it's very lively.
The most interesting moment of the relay race is the moment when the baton is handed over, of course, compared to athletics, there is no real "baton" in the swimming relay to hand over. The front baton player touches the wall, and the back baton team member jumps into the water, which is the way to hand over the baton in the swimming relay race.
It is precisely because there is no real "stick" to hand over in the swimming relay that you need to be more careful when handing over the baton.
When a teammate is on standby on the platform, you need to pay close attention to the moment when your teammate in the pool touches the wall. If any team member from 2nd to 4th takes off more than 0.03 seconds early, the team will be forfeited.
As for how to tell if a former baseball teammate has touched the wall, it depends on your eyesight and feeling, as well as the degree of run-in during training.
If you jump early, your results will be cancelled, and if you jump late, you will suffer, so the moment of handing over the baton in the swimming relay race is the most interesting moment. It is precisely because of the possibility of mistakes when handing over the baton that the relay race is more exciting and enjoyable to watch.
Duke saved the trouble of handing over the baton, because he was placed in the first baton again.
The start order sounds, and the race begins!
Duke jumped hard and led the way with a half-body opening advantage. He was the first to touch the wall and swim half a distance of 50 meters, and then drove the turn stunt and then followed the acceleration double opening stunt.
On the return 50-meter journey, Douc was a stunt all the way to the crit, and after the [big water wheel] and [8 legs], he used both hands and legs, just like a motorboat with full horsepower "suddenly" and rushed forward, he rowed the waterway, and the splashing amplitude of the waves far exceeded that of the other seven opponents.
The audience erupted in cries of blood, and the cameramen's lenses shifted as Duke progressed.
According to the images transmitted by the cameras from various angles on the scene, the rear director of the TV station constantly switches between the perspective of God and the first-person perspective to bring the TV audience a more comprehensive viewing experience. The first first-person perspective is captured with Duke as the protagonist.
The familiar voice of Xiao Cai, the CCTV 5 commentator who is loved by the majority of TV viewers and friends, sounded again: "Du Ke, the first player of the Nanyue team, is advancing very fast, his water frequency is very high, and the water splash is very big and very ornamental!" Duke, who won two individual titles and broke the 100 national record yesterday, will he be able to lead the Nanyue team to the next step in the team event? Let's wait and see. ”
In the first stage, Du Ke had no opponent, and the strongest opponent, Lu Zhiwu, was arranged by the Zhedong team in the fourth base. But Du Ke knows that only if he exerts his best in the first base, as much as possible to open up the lead, he will leave more capital for his teammates in the bottom three.
Now that he has entered the finals, Duke doesn't want to go home empty-handed, and if he can't win the gold medal, it's good to grab a medal. Before the start of the match, he added 9 of the 40 bonus points he received yesterday to his explosive power, bringing his explosive power to 61. Until this moment, he didn't know that he would be selected for the national team, and he didn't know where the next stop would be after this relay race, so he left 31 bonus points for backup.
Duke has stacked the explosive power attribute to 61, and the individual attribute value has just crossed the international level node defined in the system. With good explosiveness, Duke sprinted and sprinted, and the first to touch the wall and swim the first stick.
Duke's teammates saw the timing of Duke's touch, jumped into the air, took over Duke's baton, and led the second baton with a multi-position advantage.
A round of 100 self-ability to open a lead of more than half a body is actually huge.
When Duke came ashore, he slapped his palms at the pool and cheered on his teammates who were fighting hard in the pool.
The second basemate in the pool naturally couldn't hear Duke's cheering roar, but the third and fourth basemen on standby on the shore were also infected by Duke, and the two of them also clapped their palms and shouted: "I'll support you!" I'll hold you up! "They're supporting their teammates, they're also pushing themselves up.
When the second-best player of the not-so-strong Nanyue team handed over to his third-band teammate, the lead that Duke had created for him was gone. But this teammate has done his best, after going ashore he gasped for breath, these 100 meters, more than 50 seconds, he used almost all his energy to protect the capital left by Duke.
The third player of the Nanyue team is no longer the first after entering the water, and the Zhedong team and the Huhai team have already broken ahead. He knows that he is not strong enough, but no matter how weak a man is, he has his own dignity and sense of honor, let alone an athlete. He had only one thought at the moment: "Hold on!" Hold! Hold! "As long as you can keep the third and fourth clubs, Ah Chao still has a chance to hit the medal!
But unfortunately, the brutal sports arena is not something you can hold if you want to.
The third batter of the Nanyue team lost, even if he tried his best, he could not escape the fate of being overtaken by the three, and in the third bat, he fell from first to fourth.
It's the last stick.
The last player of the Zhedong team was Lu Zhiwu, who rushed to the first place.
Players from the Shanghai and Soviet teams followed.
The last player of the Nanyue team, Ah Chao, is 27 years old this year, the oldest player in the team, and the swimmer of this age is approaching the end of his career. Before Du Ke entered the provincial team, Ah Chao was the best player in the team in the sprint event. It's not easy to maintain this competitive state at this age.
Ah Chao is still insisting, this may be the last big game he will participate in. He didn't want to lose, he didn't want to go back empty-handed, he didn't want to leave regrets in the last big game of his career.
Ah Chao was still fourth after turning around, but at this time he seemed to burst out with a huge amount of energy that even he didn't expect, and he fought! In the last 50 meters, Ah Chao swam the fastest 50 meters of his career.
At this time, Lu Zhiwu had already touched the wall first, and the players of the Sunan team touched the wall second.
A Chao, who was catching up, caught up with the third-ranked Huhai team player in the last 5 meters with amazing explosiveness, and touched the wall for the third time with a half-arm's lead over the opponent.
The Nanyue team won the bronze medal in the men's 4*100m freestyle relay!
After Ah Chao touched the wall, he didn't even have the strength to climb ashore, and Du Ke and two other teammates grabbed his hand and pulled him ashore.
The four members of the Nanyue team put their arms on the shoulders of their teammates and formed a circle, excited, excited, and trusting in unison: "One, two, three!" I'll hold you up! ”
The four hot-blooded men shouted out the glory in their hearts.
Although they only won a bronze medal, they spelled out the honor of champion. Hard work, not giving up, and trust between teammates are particularly precious in today's society that tends to be utilitarian, and even in the sports world.
Many viewers couldn't help but be moved, and after the silence, they erupted in appreciative applause.
Su Yun in the media area, tears have burst out of his eyes.
Director Luo, the old coach of the Nanyue team, smiled with relief, and muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "What did you do a few years ago?" Do you have to retire before you start playing? I don't know what the old man is trying to say.
In the audience stands, the first and second figures of the men's national swimming team applauded the Nanyue foursome from the bottom of their hearts, and the head coach Qian Zhenglong nodded and said appreciatively: "This is called true sportsmanship, which is worthy of praise." ”
Zhou Jianlin pointed to the big screen at this time, and said with a little surprise: "Qian Gui will show you, Du Ke has broken the record again." ”
