Chapter 059: Let's Say a Few Words
Duke was the first to touch the wall, winning the men's 100m freestyle at the Asian Championships and breaking the Asian record with a time of 47.89 seconds.
In 47.89 seconds, Duke was the first Asian athlete to swim within 48 seconds in the men's 100 free event in an official competition, and he broke through the Asian bottleneck of 48 seconds in one fell swoop with his powerful explosive power and high-speed assault throughout the whole process, completely overturning the European and American media's prediction that "Asians cannot break 48 seconds within 5 years".
It wasn't a shock to the world of sports, but at least it shook the Chief Almatum Swimming Pool.
After the results were swiped out on the big screen, all the members of the Chinese swimming delegation in the preparation area stood up collectively, including Director Qin, the head of the swimmer, Qian Zhenglong, the head coach of the men's team, Nie Hong, the head coach of the women's team, Zhou Jianlin, the head coach of Du Ke, all the other assistant coaches, team doctors, translators, Sun Yang, Ye Shiwen and other male and female team members, they faced the direction of the pool and congratulated Du Ke who had just touched the wall and had not yet landed.
In the media area, more than 30 reporters from various media units in China also stood solemnly, as professional reporters, of course, they knew the meaning of 47.89 seconds, and the Chinese reporters did not rush to shoot at this time, but sent a warm cheer to Du Ke.
Not only the Chinese reporters were happy, but also reporters from other friendly countries came to the Chinese media area to express the concern of the people of various Asian countries and regions. Because media reporters cannot casually enter the preparation areas of various national teams, reporters from various countries and regions extend their greetings to Chinese reporters.
The first to come were Hong Kong reporters, and the Hong Kong journalists expressed their sincere congratulations to the mainland reporters. Hong Kong also has athletes in various sports, but it is difficult to produce top athletes like the powerful mainland, where sports stars, Olympic/world champions, and history-makers are also highly sought after. Not only the ordinary people in Hong Kong, but also some high-level or big bosses are also fans of some sports stars in the mainland, and the rich bosses in Hong Kong often spend huge sums of money to sponsor the above-mentioned mainland athletes, Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen have been sponsored and rewarded.
Toduco's blessing, the mainland reporters were complimented by Hong Kong Ji, who regarded himself very highly, and sent Hong Kong Ji away, and another group of reporters came, and it was actually a Japanese reporter.
There were more Japanese reporters than Chinese reporters in Dubai, and they sent three reporters as representatives to convey the care and respect of the Japanese sports community to the Chinese reporters.
Subsequently, reporters from Pakistan, Thailand, Myanmar, Maldives and other countries with good diplomatic relations with China also came to the Chinese media area to send their most sincere congratulations.
Even the Philippines, which has a territorial water dispute with China, was surprised and excited that the Chinese swimmer could swim in 48 seconds, and the Filipino reporter sent a congratulatory message to the Chinese reporter.
There may be some disputes between countries because of national interests, but in the sports arena, the vast majority of sports people in various countries still regard "higher, faster, stronger" as the supreme goal of the Olympic spirit.
All in all, Du Ke's 47.89 seconds appeared in a shocking way, and reporters from Asian countries are very familiar with the Chinese Du Ke's 47.89 seconds as the honor of the whole of Asia. When Park Tae-hyung was powerful at the '08 Olympics, the Chinese media did not hesitate to praise him.
The last wave of congratulations came from South Korea, while Singaporean and Indian journalists did not take action, and the whole of Asia celebrated, but there were always some who were uncomfortable.
Duke saw his results, and the other seven players also saw the final results.
In lane 3, Zhiwu Lu finished second and swam across the buoy line to lane 4 to be the first to congratulate Duke face-to-face.
The two Chinese players high-fived each other in the pool, and Lu Zhiwu said to Du Ke, "This is your victory." ”
Du Ke shook his head: "No, this is the victory of the Chinese swimming team and the victory of the national swimmers." ”
"Yo? When was it so humble? ”
"Brother Wu, I've always been very low-key, okay."
"Brother Wu said he didn't see it."
“……”
After disembarking, the athletes from other countries also walked up to Duke and expressed their congratulations. Singapore's Huang Kaiwei, he beat two Japanese players who have participated in the Olympics and grabbed a bronze medal, a world-class genius is not a world-class talent, but a Singaporean player with not weak strength is also a Southeast Asian talent.
Huang Kaiwei took the initiative to shake hands with Du Ke: "Congratulations, learn from you." "He speaks Chinese, with a bit of an accent, but he's also fluent.
"Thank you, learn from each other." Du Ke shook his hand and said, then a little surprised: "You speak Chinese very slippery." ”
Huang Kaiwei: "More than 75% of Singapore are Chinese, and we Singaporean Chinese basically speak Chinese, and Sun Yanzi, who is very popular in Chinese mainland, speaks Chinese even more. I am a Hakka, my ancestral home is Meizhou, and we all speak Hakka at home. ”
"Yo, then your hometown is not far from the city where I live, fellow." Du Ke patted Huang Kaiwei on the shoulder and said: "Then I wish the people of China and New Zealand friendship for generations, and I also wish overseas Chinese compatriots good health, all the best, and happiness for their families." ”
Huang Kaiwei smiled: "How do you talk like a leader?" ”
The two exchanged a few more words and exchanged views on professional and technical issues, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very friendly.
The Singaporean media has the attitude of the media, and Singaporean athletes have a code of values for athletes.
Some media sometimes make news dissemination that is not objective and neutral because of certain interests, positions, and forces behind them, but the vast majority of athletes can get along with each other amicably.
After going ashore, Duke was guarded by the staff of the Asian Swimming Federation and walked through the athletes' passage to the urine testing center.
The head of the Asian Swimming Federation is happy and worried, happy that finally an Asian hit the European and American in the face, swimming 48 seconds in 5 years, worried that this Chinese must not snort. Medicine! Otherwise, it will be a big scandal, not only to lose the face of the Chinese, but also to the face of the whole of Asia.
Therefore, the staff of the Asian Swimming Federation escorted Du Ke to the urine test as soon as possible, and the results were out as soon as possible. In an intercontinental competition like the Asian Championships, FINA will also send supervisors to the scene, and urine tests are very strict. If it is found that he has doped in the final, he will be banned for at least two years.
Of course, Duke was also very cooperative, and quickly took the urine and handed it to the testers. It takes time to test the composition of the urine, but Du Ke has no ghost in his heart, and he knows whether he has drunk the medicine or not, so he left the urine test center.
On the way back to the locker room, Du Ke was blocked by a group of Chinese reporters, including 23 reporters, all of whom were big media, mainstream TV stations, websites, and print media.
"Duke, can you say a few words?" Reporters shouted for Duke to interview him.
Du Ke walked up to the Chinese reporter and nodded: "Of course." ”
A reporter asked Du Ke: "You broke through the Asian bottleneck of 48 seconds in one fell swoop, do you have any comments to say to the fans who support you?" I'm sure you'll have more and more fans after this final. ”
Duke did not immediately make a speech, he held the bottle of mineral water in his left hand, unscrewed the cap of the bottle with his right hand, his eyes were deep, and his expression was unpredictable.
Suddenly, Duke gripped the bottle of mineral water a little harder, and the water spilled out of the bottle. This bottle of water was taken by him at the urine test center after the urine test, and the athlete is not allowed to eat or drink anything before taking the urine, otherwise you are responsible for the urine test, and you will defecate after taking the urine, Du Ke took a bottle of water, thirsty, of course thirsty with such a large amount of exercise.
After the reporters were silent for a few seconds, a reporter who reacted quickly suddenly realized: "I understand, Duke Duke, are you saying that you can achieve today's results, winning the Asian Championships, breaking the Asian record, and breaking the 48-second Asian bottleneck, is it a natural success?" Accumulation is a matter of course, isn't it? ”
"Well, a very clever metaphor." The reporters paused, and the photographer recorded Du Ke's hinting action just now.
Du Ke himself was quite surprised, he pinched the mineral water bottle again, drank the water, and said: "You think too much, this bottle is too soft, and the water gushes out when you pinch it lightly." ”
Reporters from all walks of life are full of black lines: "......" heart said, then what kind of B are you pretending to be with such an unfathomable expression!
