Chapter 109: Strategic Thinking
April 7, the penultimate day of competition.
Today's schedule is that the 1500-meter freestyle preliminaries, 4*100-meter freestyle relay preliminaries, and 4*200-meter freestyle relay preliminaries will be held at 1:30 p.m.
After a two-to-three-hour break, the 800m freestyle final, the 400m medley final, the 4x100m medley relay final, and the 400m freestyle final will be held in the evening.
The remaining two relay finals and the 1,500m freestyle final will take place tomorrow and the final day.
Before the start of the competition this afternoon, the head coach of the Nanyue team, Luo Gui, submitted a waiver to the referee team: "The men's player Du Ke of this team has applied to give up the qualification for the men's 1500-meter freestyle preliminaries due to physical reasons, please approve." ”
The head coach submitted a waiver to the referee team, which was in accordance with the procedure, and the referee immediately approved Du Ke's waiver in the 1500m freestyle preliminaries.
Coach Luo also submitted the list of finalists for tonight's men's 4*100m medley relay of the Nanyue team, which does not include Du Ke.
The registration rules for the swimming relay race are that each team can register 5 team members, and any 4 team members can be arranged to compete in the preliminaries and finals.
In the preliminaries of the men's 4*100m medley relay, Du Ke swam the third butterfly on behalf of the Nanyue team and led the team to the final.
And in tonight's final of the 4*100m medley relay, Duke will not play.
The above two decisions were not made by Duke on the head, but were unanimously discussed by the coaching staff of the Nanyue team last night.
In the 1500-meter freestyle, after some persuasion by the coaching staff, Duke finally agreed to abstain and not swim the 1500-meter, not even the preliminaries.
The 800-meter freestyle, because Duke has already qualified for the final, the abstention final is not good, the advice of the coaching staff is that in the first final of the evening, the 800-meter freestyle final, Duke can try it, and he can take the number of the first, but don't overdrawn. The Nanyue team is not inferior to Du Ke, you have won 13 gold medals yourself, and there is no shortage of this one.
For Doucle, the focus of today's race was on the 400 mixed and 400 free.
400 mixed, he is expected to hit new heights and new records again.
The 400 freestyle final has Sun Yang in charge, from the theoretical data combined with the battle situation in the 200 free final last night, in the 200-meter freestyle event, Du Ke is slightly stronger than Sun Yang, and in the 400-meter freestyle event is just the opposite, Sun Yang should be slightly stronger than Du Ke. At 800 and 1500, Sun Yang has super strength, and it is more difficult to defeat him.
Between the 400 mixed and 400 free finals at night, interspersed with the finals of the 4*100m medley relay, the coach of the Nanyue team strongly advised Duke not to participate in this medley relay final.
Even if Duke participated in the final of the medley relay event, even if he played his best in the butterfly baton, considering that the other three strokes of the Nanyue team were weak, most of the Nanyue relay team might not even win a medal.
Therefore, Duke will not participate in the finals of the medley relay competition, rest for a while, recover some physical fitness, and then fight Sun Yang again in the 400 freestyle final. Du Ke's butterfly swim stick will be replaced by the fifth teammate of the Nanyue team, who is mainly attacking the 50 and 100 free, and now can only sharpen the gun on the spot and work part-time on the third 100 butterfly.
To sum up, after a reasonable analysis, the thinking tank of the coaching staff of the Nanyue team has a guiding strategy for Du Ke on the 7th match day: resolutely and decisively give up the 1500 self-preliminaries, test the 800 self-finals according to the conventional routine, and go all out to impact the 400 mixed finals, although it is a little difficult, but there is also hope to kill Sun Yang again in the 400 self-finals. The summary is to give up the local grappling brick by brick, and finally obtain a comprehensive victory.
The overall strategic approach has been formulated, and all that remains is to resolutely implement it.
If you say you will abstain, you have to abstain, so Du Ke watched the 1500-meter freestyle preliminaries on the shore, and watched Sun Yang lead the second place with a huge advantage of more than 30 meters, and won the first place in the first group of the 1500-meter preliminaries to advance to the finals.
Sun Yang obviously didn't do his best in the preliminaries, he had to do his best, and he was able to shake off the second place with a 50-meter, which shows his strong strength in 1500 meters.
Hao Yun played in the second group of the preliminaries, and he was also quite strong, winning the first place in the group with a large advantage and advancing to the finals.
After the 1500 preliminaries, the 4*100m freestyle relay preliminaries followed.
Three relay races, 4*100m medley, 4*100m freestyle, 4*200m freestyle, the only event that the Nanyue team has hope of winning a medal is the 4*100m freestyle relay.
Needless to say, Du Ke's 100 is not to mention, and several other teammates of the Nanyue team who mainly attack the short distance freestyle are also okay, at least they will not be thrown away too much, and Du Ke has a chance to chase after it. Frogs, backs, and butterflies can't even make do, and no matter which stroke Duke swims in, it will be difficult for him to beat four of the other teams in the medley relay final.
The Nanyue men's 4*100m freestyle relay team led by Du Ke played in the first group of the preliminaries, and the navy relay team led by Ning Zetao was also in this group.
In the last 100 meters, Du Ke swam 0.49 seconds faster than Ning Zetao, but the first three sticks of the Nanyue team were more than two seconds behind the navy, and in the 100-meter freestyle, it was not easy for Du Ke to brush Ning Zetao for more than two seconds.
In the end, the Navy Army and the Nanyue team entered the final of the men's 4*100m freestyle relay with the first and second results in the group.
In the subsequent preliminaries of the 4*200m freestyle relay, Du Ke did not play, and as a result, the Nanyue team was eliminated in the preliminaries.
After the preliminaries of the 4*200m freestyle relay race, the whole field was suspended for two and a half hours, and at 19 o'clock in the evening, the final event kicked off.
The first final of the evening is the men's 800m freestyle final.
Sun Yang stood behind the 4th lane diving platform, domineering side leak. At the moment, he is the best player in the world. There will be no more than three people in the world who have the strength to challenge Sun Yang in the 800 self project.
South Korea's Park Tae-hwan, Canada's Cochran, and American McBlom all have the strength to challenge Sun Yang in the 800 free event, but to defeat Sun Yang, they may have to rely on some on-the-spot play and luck.
Hao Yun is in lane 5, and in this event, he is half a player who can challenge Sun Yang.
Duke is in lane 3, and he hasn't played Sun Yang in this event, but he also knows that it will be difficult to kill Sun Yang. The key is that there will be a 400 mixed final in the future, and out of comprehensive considerations in terms of physical fitness and stunt CD, what Du Ke can do now is to take a flat cut method and try to kill Sun Yang.
Of course, the probability of success will not be very high, just like the whole army of the Zhedong team sent out to encircle and kill Du Ke, no one can successfully kill Du Shuzi
The only good news for Du Ke was that Sun Yang swam a 1,500-meter freestyle preliminaries in the afternoon.
However, for Sun Yang, who swims an average of 15,000-18,000 meters a day in his usual training, resting for a few hours and then competing for 800 meters has almost no big impact.
