Chapter 130: Predicting the Emperor's Prophecy
Duke won the men's 200m backstroke heats in Group 4, and his preliminaries time of 1:51.99 was the fastest time in the preliminaries.
Although there are still two groups to go, several of the world's biggest names have made their debut in the first four groups, and Douca's preliminaries were quite impressive, with Clary's time in the London Olympics 200 final being just 1:53.41. Duke will basically advance to the semifinals with the fastest time in the preliminaries, with a nearly 100% chance of qualifying.
Clary saw Doucle's results, and he looked at Doke, who had already landed, with a little surprise on his face. He was a little impressed by the name "K.DU" because it hangs on the official FINA website, and the Chinese broke the men's 200 mixed world record held by Lochte in early April.
However, there is still a subtle difference between breaking records in domestic competitions and breaking records in international competitions.
Of course, it is more convincing to break records in top international competitions such as the Olympics and the World Championships.
Clary's little impression of Duke is that "K.DU" is in the three letters of the English alphabet, and he does not know Duke himself.
"Du, it's kind of interesting, but the preliminaries don't say anything, do they?" Clary looked at Duke's back and said to herself.
With a preliminaries, of course, it is not enough to conquer the European and American players who think very highly of themselves, which is normal.
It's normal for Clary to be an Olympic champion with some pride, but his fellow American and another Olympic champion, American captain Lochette, who won three consecutive Olympic gold medals in '04, '08 and '12, looked at Ducco with admiration.
More than three months ago, it was Duke who broke the men's 200m medley world record held by Lochette, and of course Rochette will find out who broke his own record.
The U.S.'s No. 1 and No. 2 seeds have a different view of Doucle, while Japan's No. 3 seed Ryosuke Irie is a little depressed.
Du Ke broke the 200 Asian record held by the Japanese in front of Irie, as the former Asian record holder, do you say Irie can not be depressed?
Irie is a native of Duke, who in Dubai last November saw him break the Asian record of the 100 self and swim in under 48 seconds.
"Which swimming style does this Tosang focus on? A few months ago, he broke my 100 back Asian record in a domestic race in China, and now he has broken my 200 back Asian record, which is really unpleasant. Ryosuke Irie complained to his teammate Kosuke Ogino.
Kosuke Ogino is very comprehensive, he mainly focuses on medley, and is also good at 200 self and 400 free, he said a little uncomfortable: "This Chinese not only broke the Asian record of Lingsuke's backstroke, but also broke my 400 mixed Asian record, which made me particularly unhappy." Lingsuke, show some real skills, let the Chinese know who is the real Asian hegemon. ”
As an Asian country, the Japanese team pays more attention to the Chinese team than Europe and the United States, except for a few sports such as football and judo, the Chinese team can handle or even crush the Japanese team in most of the other sports.
But in the field of men's swimming, for so many years, the Japanese men's team has been suppressing the Chinese men's team, even if China has a Sun Yang, the Chinese men's team is slightly inferior to the Japanese men's team in terms of overall strength.
Now that there is a Du Ke, the Japanese really feel the crisis, Sun Yang is indeed very strong, but he only attacks the middle and long distance freestyle, and Du Ke has to do any swimming style.
Canal+ commentator Villefort had a bad face and had boldly predicted that Ducco's chances of advancing to the semi-finals would not exceed 9.38% before the start of the men's 200 back heats group 4 match, and his prediction was denied a few minutes later.
Fortunately, Canal+ no longer broadcast the 200 preliminaries of the remaining two groups, and Villefort had some time to adjust, he took off his headphones and said to Reno: "Believe me, David, this must be an accident, the Chinese will advance to the semifinals at most." Hey? There are actually two Chinese players participating in the men's 200 back preliminaries, and they actually won two World Championships A standards? There was an accident in Group 4 and I am sure that there will be no surprise in Group 6 again, and it is absolutely impossible for both of them to qualify for the semi-finals at the same time. ”
At this time, it was the men's 200 back preliminaries group 6 match, and Xu Jiayu was fighting behalf of the Chinese team.
Perhaps encouraged by Du Ke's bloody feat of five chrysanthemums, Xu Jiayu played well in the preliminary round of the final group, and he was faster than Poland's Kaviki to win the group with a time of 1:55.90.
In the end, Du Ke and Xu Jiayu advanced to the semifinals of the men's 200-meter backstroke with the first and eighth results in the preliminaries.
Villefort's face was gloomy again, and he was slapped in the face twice by Chinese Du Ke and Xu Jiayu in 10 minutes, and no one would be in a good mood.
Reno joked: "Sebastian, you predicted who wouldn't make the cut, and he did, I think you have the potential to become the Pele of swimming." ”
“%¥amp;! *@! Villefort cursed in Marseille slang, and his face was frozen.
This was followed by the women's 50m breaststroke heats, with Villefort continuing his prophetic style.
However, the French commentator is really becoming more and more like Pele.
Pele, the king of football, is keen to predict the outcome of the World Cup after retiring, but he is often optimistic about which team, and that team will hit the street nine times out of ten.
In the women's 50m breaststroke heats, Villefort was very optimistic about the French women's Jemena, and the Frenchwoman finished 22nd in the heats and was eliminated.
And the Russian beauty Efimova, who was ridiculed by Villefort, actually broke the world record in the women's 50 breaststroke in the preliminaries, and the entire St. Hodi Swimming Center was shocked.
Villefort not only blacks Chinese, he also blacks Russians, Russia is not all the way with NATO and the European Union, and the French can also understand the black Russians.
Napoleon the Great, the French were most proud of, crushed all of Europe, except for the defeat of Russia, which eventually led to the collapse of his empire, and a few years later, Napoleon escaped from the island of Elba, where he was imprisoned, and arrived at Waterloo...... The impact of this history continues to this day, and there has always been a relationship between France and Russia that you don't bird me, and I don't bird you.
Black and black, it was black to the men's 50 frog preliminaries, and Villefort was surprised to find that rubbing, this Chinese Du Ke appeared again! Frog and frog, what the hell does this guy want to do?
