On the night of the second match day, the number of spectators at the St. Hoddy Aquatics Center was 8,172, with an attendance rate of 86%, which was 5.4 times that of yesterday.

After the men's 50m breaststroke semifinals, the women's 50m freestyle semifinals, the men's 50m freestyle semifinals, and then the 400m freestyle and 200 backstroke finals will be played.

In the women's freestyle semi-finals, there was an upset, and one of the favorites, Australian female Kate Campbell, ranked 9th in the semi-finals and missed the final. Her younger sister, Brontë Campbell, qualified for the final in second place, and her sister will finish her unfinished business in the final.

Next up is the men's 50m freestyle semifinals Group 1.

Now in its 15th year, no Asian male athlete has ever reached the final of the 50m freestyle.

Chinese men's swimmer Ning Zetao was placed in lane 5, and the military athlete will represent the Chinese men's and Asian men's athletes in the men's 50 free of the World Championships.

Although Ning Zetao advanced to the semifinals with the third place in the preliminaries, it can be seen from the men's 50 breaststroke semifinals just now that after entering the semifinals, players from all countries no longer retain a trace of strength, and they may be eliminated if they are 0.01 seconds slower, and they must go all out.

Ning Zetao, a rookie in the sprint freestyle of the Chinese men's team, has loved to eat steamed buns since he was a child, and he likes steamed buns stuffed with pork and green onions, and he calls himself "Baozi", so his teammates also affectionately call him Baozi.

The bun is sunny and handsome, with a good figure that makes men jealous and women scream, he has a lively and cheerful personality, and from time to time he will show a little cute attributes, and he chats with Du Ke, who is also cheerful.

At this moment, the men's 50 is about to start in the first semi-final, but the always lively bun is extremely solemn, and his current expression can be described as unsmiling or even cold.

Outside of the competition, Ning Zetao is a small piece of fresh meat, and he is a well-loved bun brother. The order is imminent, and he embodies a diametrically opposite attribute, at this moment Ning Zetao is a soldier with a gun in his hand and a loaded bullet, yes, he was originally a PLA soldier.

The preparatory order sounded, and 8 players took the stage.

The start order sounded, and the men's 50m freestyle semifinals group 1 competition began!

Eight competitors jumped into the water and started racing in the pool.

At the St. Hodi Aquatics Center, there will be a similar device in front of the commentators from all over the world, some like a small TV, some like a desktop computer, which are all live broadcast auxiliary video equipment.

Television stations speak different languages, but the data displayed on the screens of video devices is essentially the same.

1，0.71；

2，0.69；

3，0.71；

4，0.68；

5，0.75；

6，0.72；

7，0.70；

8，0.73

The number before the comma indicates the lane, and the number after it is the reaction time of the runner in that lane.

Ning Zetao in lane 5 had the slowest reaction time among the eight competitors.

Players with a jump reaction time of less than 0.70 seconds can be regarded as responsive, 0.72 seconds is a normal level, and Ning Zetao's jump reaction time is 0.75 seconds, which can be called a slow reaction......

Maybe he was nervous, or maybe he wanted to break into the finals too much, Ning Zetao opened with a bad jump, and he was in last place after entering the pool.

Du Ke on the shore watched Ning Zetao fall behind when he jumped together, and he also sweated for the buns, he wanted to lend Ning Zetao a thousand miles for two days.

The poor start didn't frustrate Ning Zetao, and he didn't have time to be frustrated. After 25 meters, Ning Zetao began to accelerate, he vented a kind of explosive power of shame and bravery, and finally won the fifth place in the group, with a time of 21.70 seconds, exactly the same as his result in the preliminaries.

Ning Zetao swam 21.70 seconds in the preliminaries, ranking third among all the competitors in the preliminaries, and he swam the same time in the semifinals, but he could only rank fifth in the first group.

Ning Zetao's semi-final results are a bit dangerous to advance to the finals.

After going ashore, back to the preparation area of the Chinese team, Ning Zetao looked depressed, he also knew that if there were four people in the second group of the semi-finals who swam faster than him, he would be eliminated.

"Hey, it's good to have a jump reaction of 0.02 to 0.03 seconds, then it's safe." No matter how Ning Zetao counts, he can count four fierce men in group 2.

In the men's 50 free semifinals, the second group of fierce men include American star Adrian, Russian torpedo Morozov, Italian fierce man Orsi, and Chinese brush Duke, who equaled the 50 free world record.

Du Ke looked at Ning Zetao, who was depressed, and wanted to comfort Baozi for a few words but couldn't speak, how can he comfort him? Buns, or I deliberately let the water go, take the penultimate number one to ensure that you enter the finals.

But in case Du Ke released the water, there were still four people in the 2nd group who swam faster than Ning Ze, so it would be served in one pot.

"What do you see? Hurry up and go to the zone! Ning Zetao suddenly said to Du Ke, "The chairman once said that don't put all your eggs in one basket to ensure that one is broken. The flame of revolution cannot be extinguished, and the belief that armed struggle to defeat imperialism cannot be shaken. After saying that, he made a gesture of holding the gun with both hands out of thin air, and pushed the invisible "gun" in front of Duke.

Du Ke took Ning Zetao's "gun" and said: "Baozi, the revolutionary friendship lasts forever, I will use the combat weapons you entrusted to me to destroy the enemy, and I will not let you die in vain." ”

"Get out! Hurry up! Ning Zetao was finally amused by Du Ke, he clenched his fists and fought against Du Ke, and the fighting friendship between comrades was passed between fists.

Duke is in the zone, and the men's 50 semifinals are about to start in the second group.

Duke finished first in the heats and was placed in lane 4.

Molozov, Adrian, Orsi and other fierce players in lanes 5, 3 and 6, and Lithuania's Bedkranov in lane 2 also has the strength to advance to the final.

The starting order sounds, and the men's 50 starts from the second group of the semi-finals!

Compared to Ning Zetao, Du Ke's reaction time is much faster, and his reaction time is 0.70 seconds, which is tied for second among the eight players in Group 2.

Duke has a fast take-off reaction, which has nothing to do with his take-off stunt jumping thousands of miles, he has participated in too many official competitions, and he has trained with competitions, and has already practiced a conditioned instinct.

With a good starting reaction + a thousand miles of jumping, Du Ke achieved an opening suppression advantage after entering the water.

Ning Zetao was the first to last after entering the water, and Du Ke was strongly pressed to the first place.

Du Ke did not hesitate and opened 8 kicks in the first time to continue to extend the lead.

By the end of the eight kicks, Doucle was already more than half a body ahead of Adrian, who was second.

The American Adrian, an Olympic champion with a reputation for himself, had already lost to Doucle once in the 50 free qualifiers, and he didn't want to be beaten again in the semi-finals.

Adrian accelerated his pursuit of Duke to get the first place.

But Duke didn't give the American a chance, and he maintained the lead until the finish, touching the wall first to win the group with a time of 21.01 seconds.

Because 20 minutes ago, Duke had just sprinted to the 50-breasted semi-finals, and due to physical and stunt reasons, he could not draw again or break the world record further, but the time of 21.01 seconds was enough to ensure that he advanced to the final.

After the second semi-final, the results of all 16 players in the men's 50-meter freestyle semi-finals came out.

The first place, Brazil's Cielo, scored 20.99 seconds. Cielo was supposed to be the double world record holder in the men's 50 free/100 free, but his 100 free world record was broken by Du Ke yesterday, and his 50 free world record was almost broken by Du Ke this afternoon. Either way, the Brazilian star is a formidable player, swimming under 21 seconds in the first group of the 50 semi-finals, and he will be Duco's toughest opponent in the final.

second place, China's Du Ke, with a time of 21.01 seconds;

third place, Adrian of the United States, 21.44 seconds;

fourth, Erwin of the United States, 21.49 seconds;

fifth, France's Manado, 21.56 seconds;

sixth place, Russia's Morozov, 21.61 seconds;

seventh place, Germany's Bamrosler, 21.68 seconds;

Eighth place, Italy's Orsi, 21.70 seconds.

Tied for eighth place, China's Ning Zetao, 21.70 seconds.

In the international swimming competition, an extremely rare scene happened, Ning Zetao and Orsie tied for eighth place in the men's 50 free semifinals with a time of 21.70 seconds.

After some urgent consultation by the referee team, it was finally decided to let Orsi and Ning Zetao play an extra game, and in terms of the PK of the two of them 1V1, whoever swims faster will enter the finals. (To be continued.) )
