Men's 50m backstroke heats, women's 50m backstroke heats;
Men's 50m breaststroke heats, women's 50m breaststroke heats;
Men's 50m freestyle heats, women's 50m freestyle heats.
After the preliminaries, the semi-finals of each stroke will be held.
In the semi-finals, there will be two competitions for each swimming style, and the top 4 in each game will reach the final. The order of the competition is the same as that of the preliminaries, interspersed with men and women, in order of butterfly, back, frog, and self.
Duke's first event was the 50 butterfly, and he was placed in Group 3 of the preliminaries, and the competition started immediately.
Among his opponents, which one has the strongest 50 butterfly technology? He knew very well in his heart that it was his two teammates of the Asian Championships national team, Chen Yin and Shi Fei.
In the eyes of ordinary audiences, these two northern men are not particularly famous, but their strength is definitely not weak. Chen Yin is the strongest opponent of Wu Peng, the first butterfly in the Chinese men's race, fortunately Wu Peng did not participate in the 50 butterfly, otherwise Du Ke has many fierce opponents. Shi Fei is a temporary type, and no one can stop him when the state comes, but the disadvantage is that the state is unstable.
Chen Yin took the lead in Group 2 and won the first place in the group without any suspense to advance to the semifinals. Shi Fei is in Group 7 and has not yet played.
At this time, Duke started the competition in this group, he started with [One Leap Thousand Miles], and immediately connected to the [Big Water Wheel] after entering the water, the 50-meter butterfly competition did not turn, and the [8 legs] were only suitable for freestyle, so Duke could only do two stunts in the 50-meter butterfly competition.
He opened the two stunts as soon as he started, and he started early and worry-free, rushing!
When swimming butterfly swimming and paddling butterfly arms, driving the [big waterwheel] is particularly visually impactful, and the butterfly arm is an arm posture with the largest range of movements, and the skill description of the [big waterwheel] is: "The rapid paddling of both arms is like a high-speed rotation of a waterwheel." ”
Duke struggled to swing his arms like butterfly wings, and his arms were lifted and split into the water until the base of his thighs, which was a cycle of butterfly arms.
Round after round, Duke is like a moving waterwheel, and the butterfly arm is like a wheel that brings the waves tumbling and splashing.
That's the case in the 50m race, when you enter the water, you have to fire on all cylinders.
There's nothing to think about, there's no time to think about anything in the 50-meter race, and you have to concentrate on the race as soon as the signal sounds.
If you have to think about anything, you have to think about it before the game.
That's what Duke thought before the game, the first 50 butterfly stunts were fully opened, anyway, 50 butterflies could only open two stunts, in the short distance race, especially the shortest distance race of 50 meters, Duke's acceleration stunts were particularly crucial.
After the first one, I don't care about the rest of it?
No, Du Ke has studied today's schedule, the 50 butterfly preliminaries he is in the 3rd group, the men's group has 8 groups, after the men's 50 butterfly preliminaries, the women's 50 butterfly preliminaries will be held immediately, also 8 groups. After that, there was no rest, followed by the men's 50 backstroke preliminaries, and Du Ke was divided into the men's 50m backstroke preliminaries group 4, which is also the last group.
Therefore, Duke resolutely implemented his pre-game tactical arrangement, opened a stunt for a while, and was the first to touch the wall in this group and successfully entered the semifinals, with a time of 23.78 seconds.
After going ashore, Du Ke returned to the team's preparation area, and Hu Yucheng wrote and drew on the small notebook he carried with him, "50 butterflies, 23 seconds 78, OK, up to standard." ”
Duke sat on the chair, panting slightly, don't think that you won't be tired if you swim 50 meters, high-speed sprints are very energy-intensive.
Swimmers will be more or less gasping for breath just after the race, because swimming has to hold their breath during high-speed propulsion, and their lungs are quite active.
Du Ke asked Hu Yucheng: "What is the national record for 50 butterflies?" There are so many records in each event that I can't remember them. ”
Hu Yucheng flipped through the notebook, turned to the back pages, and found the data, "The national and Asian records of 50 butterflies are 23.43 seconds, which was created by Zhou Jiawei in 09, this record is not so easy to break, more than 3 years, almost 4 years, and no one in Asia has refreshed it again." ”
"But I think you can challenge the national record in the 50-meter backstroke, which can be said to be the weakest in the men's event in my country, from 50 to 200. Xu Jiayu, a young man over 17 years old in China, is supporting the backstroke, and he lost to Japan's king of the backstroke in the 100 and 200 backstrokes twice in the Asian Championships. Duke, you've made a breakthrough in freestyle and you've successfully opened up the first battleground. If you want to open up a second battlefield, I suggest you strike from the backstroke first. ”
"yes, I understand."
While speaking, the preliminaries of the men's 50 butterfly group 4 were over.
The time of the 50-meter pool game is twenty or thirty seconds, counting the time for the players to go ashore, the referee to confirm the results, whether there is a jump foul, to refresh the electric meter system, etc., to the next group of players, the average is five or six minutes to a game.
After all the matches of the 8 groups of the men's 50 butterfly preliminaries, the preliminaries of the 8 groups of the women's 50 butterflies will be held immediately.
After the women's 50 butterfly preliminaries, the men's 50-meter backstroke preliminaries began non-stop.
There are 8 groups in the butterfly preliminaries and only 4 in the backstroke preliminaries because of the small number of entries in the backstroke. There are not many high-level backstrokers in China, and the women are better, Fu Yuanhui has begun to rush out of Asia by leaps and bounds, and has begun to shine on the international stage. On the men's side, Xu Jiayu still needs further experience, and besides him, he really can't find a backstroke warrior.
The preliminaries of the first two groups of the men's 50 back were uneventful, and Xu Jiayu, a teammate of the Duke national team, played in the third group.
After the training of the Asian Championships, Xu Jiayu has grown again, and he can't do Japan's Irie and Koga in Asia for the time being, but in China, he can hardly find opponents in the backstroke event.
IT SEEMS THAT XU JIAYU HAS A VERY GOOD EFFECT IN THE WINTER TRAINING IN ZHEDONG TEAM, HE IS IN QUITE GOOD SHAPE, IN THE 50 BACK PRELIMINARIES OF GROUP 3, HE DID NOT HOLD IT ALL OF A SUDDEN, WON THE FIRST PLACE AND BROKE THE NATIONAL RECORD WITH A TIME OF 24.95 SECONDS. The young man was in great form, breaking the record in the preliminaries.
Xu Jiayu broke the national record, triggering a small boil among the reporters on the shore.
"Xiao Xu can, this is the preliminaries, easily break the record."
"Xiao Xu is good, and he is very young, and the Barcelona World Championships can be expected."
"The men's backstroke has always been a weakness of our country, not to mention the international stage, and even on the Asian stage, it has been suppressed by the Japanese for a long time. I expect that if Xiao Xu is given another year, he will be able to break the dominance of Japanese backstrokers in Asia. ”
Reporters have been talking about Xu Jiayu's breaking of the national record just now, and then the last group of the men's 50 back preliminaries will start immediately, and the players in the 4th group will go down to the pool one after another, ready to go.
"Yo, there's also a set of men's 50 back preliminaries."
"Lane 4, who is that, am I right? Duke? ”
"That's right, it's the same Duke, the 100 Asian champion who swam in under 48 seconds."
"This thing is playing backstroke instead?"
"I don't understand what this is all about, but I think it's pretty powerful."
"Duke is a little too much, isn't he? Learn Phelps? Multi-style in full bloom? He's just been named out, so he's in a hurry, right? ”
That's when the game begins.
"Quick! So fast! ”
"Is this really such a hanging?"
"I feel like something is going to happen!"
At this time, the game was over, and Duke won the group.
Looking at Du Ke's results, reporters from all walks of life looked at each other: "Jienyima...... Duke also broke the national record, 24.90 seconds! He broke the national record set by Xu Jiayu just five minutes ago...... Something really happened! ”
"Call the main station, hurry up and send a camera crew to the Zhongyuan City Natatorium, something big is going to happen here!"
