Chapter 008 Enters the Finals
Douc was the third to make his sixth turn and entered the final 100m sprint, by which time he was more than 20 metres ahead of fourth.
Zhou Junwei and Xu Wenlin went hand in hand, and it was difficult to distinguish one from the other, one more than one position ahead of Du Ke in third place.
In the athletes' standby area, Jiang Zhigang crossed his arms to his chest and watched the battle situation in the pool. In the first 300 meters, Duke led first, then was overtaken, he tried his best to snatch back to second, and was thrown to third after 50 meters. Su Yun unexpectedly fell off the horse and did not enter the finals, and Du Ke was the only remaining hope for the Nangang University swimming team. It is precisely because of his hope for Du Ke that Jiang Zhigang is a little nervous at the moment, no matter how weak the team is, he is eager for victory, longing for honor, and striving to pursue the legendary underdog, no one wants to be shaved head.
In the stands on the right, Su Yun and others were shouting hard to cheer for Du Ke. The cheering of the seven of them was drowned out by the noise of hundreds of spectators, and it was unknown whether Duke could hear the cheers of his teammates in the water.
The young college students who came to watch the excitement for free were excited, and this men's 400m freestyle preliminaries can be said to be the most intense and exciting one so far today. In the racing competition, surpassing, anti-surpassing, surpassing, and infinite transcendence are undoubtedly the bloody scenes that the audience loves to see.
In the left stand, Duke's enlightenment coach and his father Dudewei also looked a little nervous.
Hu Yucheng felt a little funny and a little surprised: "A college student swimming competition in the province, its tension and intensity are about to catch up with the Olympic Games, Lao Du, as long as it is your little Du Gongzi to participate in the competition, there will always be some highlights, there is no urine point, and the same is true for him to participate in the youth competition back then." ”
Dudewei said: "There is still a chance." ”
Hu Yucheng also looked at the pool intently: "In a preliminary round, in order to compete for two places in the finals, it can be so miserable, these young men are also quite hard. It's just a matter of making an Olympic A standard and grabbing a ticket to the Olympics, right? ”
Du Dewei repeated: "My son still has a chance." Rhythm, their rhythm is out of order. ”
Hu Yucheng nodded: "So this little guy Du Ke is very premeditated, his imitation of Bolt's show before setting off is by no means grandstanding, he tried to interfere with the opponent's emotions, it seems that he succeeded." In the 400-meter race, this is a way to kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 to himself, he wants to disrupt the opponent's pace, and it seems that he has succeeded again. ”
"The runners in lanes 4 and 5 weren't used to being led, so they inadvertently went up early, messing up their familiar rhythms. There are still opportunities, but what is the cost of Duke to turn the book? I think he's barely holding on. ”
Du Dewei said angrily: "Dachengzi, don't be angry with others to destroy the prestige of my Du family's army!" You can be regarded as Du Ke's uncle, how can you not support the reason of apprenticeship? I'm betting that Duke will make it to the finals, so I'll bet you on tonight's drink! ”
……
In the pool, Duke had already completed his last turn. As industry expert Hu Yucheng said, Du Ke is now very reluctant, his tactical intention of preemptively disrupting the rhythm of the opponent's pace has basically been achieved, he clearly feels that after entering the last 100 meters, the two opponents in front of him can no longer speed up, but he can't catch up, and his own physical consumption is also very large.
There are less than 25 meters left in the end, Du Ke is a little more than a distance behind Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei, and he will go home directly after swimming the last 25 meters, or continue to swim the finals tomorrow, success or failure in this fight!
"When the time comes, stunt [8 kicks], cast!"
At this critical moment, Duke played his trump card of seven turns and retained 375 meters - eight kicks.
Once the 8 leg stunts are played, the speed is increased by 20% in 6 seconds.
With the blessing of the stunt, the frequency of Du Ke's legs increased, the speed of his progress increased, and he pressed Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei with obvious chasing width, closing in on the two opponents in front of him every second.
At 20 meters, Duke is still one position behind.
15 meters, half a body behind.
Swimming is not like track and field running, where the leading runner in front of him runs and looks back, so that he can see the chasing force behind him. In self-swimming, it is easier for the lagging competitor to observe the opponent in front of them, but it is not too easy for the leading competitor to see the situation behind him. The leading players can only take advantage of the moment of ventilation and glance at the situation in the swimming lane around them, mostly by feeling. The lane is too far away, and it is difficult to observe the eighth lane in the first lane.
Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei seemed to feel that Du Ke behind them was speeding up the pursuit, and they couldn't care so much now, so they didn't have time to think about what corresponding tactics they had, so they could only sprint at full speed with all their might, and strive to touch the wall as soon as possible to finish the game.
In the last 10 meters, Douc was already level with the two opponents in lanes 4 and 5, and it was difficult to distinguish one, two, and three with the naked eye.
At this point, the game has entered the white-hot stage.
At this point, the stunt time was over, and Douc completed the final 10 meters of the sprint with inertia.
A very rare scene in the 400-meter swimming competition happened, Du Ke, Xu Wenlin, and Zhou Junwei almost touched the wall at the same time!
In the end, the distance of less than 25 meters, from Du Ke's sprint to Du, Xu, and Zhou San, almost touching the wall at the same time, it was only about ten seconds.
The shouts of the audience have boiled to the peak, Su Yun and they haven't had time to digest it, Du Dewei and Hu Yucheng haven't had time to analyze, and the top three players have already touched the wall at the same time.
"This Nima...... Is Duke a last-minute counterattack? Liu Chenxiao in the stands was both stunned and surprised.
"The first three seem to touch the wall at the same time, this kind of picture is not common!" Wang Qiuyue looked at the big screen showing the results, and was a little worried: "Who will fall into the first, second and third?" Even if the electronic chronograph can be ranked, it is estimated that there is a very small difference. Choose two out of three, I hope the unlucky guy who was eliminated is not Duke. ”
Su Yun also stared anxiously at the big screen: "Why haven't the results been brushed out yet?" Don't extinguish the last spark! ”
In the stands on the other side, Du Dewei and Hu Yucheng looked at each other for two seconds, and they said in unison: "High-frequency legging? Looking at Du Ke's eyes again, there was something different.
Jiang Zhigang clenched his fists, stared at the big screen, and said in his heart: Du Ke, you kid, why did you use your own leg-beating technique in the last 20 meters, playing with heartbeat?
Du Ke, Xu Wenlin, and Zhou Junwei were still soaking in the pool at this time, their hands on the buoy line, their feet treading water to make themselves float on the water, they all looked at the big screen intently, waiting for the results. Until this time, the fourth-place player had just touched the wall, which showed that the strength of the other players and Du, Xu, and Zhou Sanren was very different.
The audience stopped making trouble at this time, and they all waited quietly for the results to come out with interest.
Finally, in the midst of a long wait, the results of the first group of the men's 400m freestyle preliminaries were displayed on the big screen.
1st place, lane 4, 4:21.56;
second, lane 2, 4:21.65;
3rd place, lane 5, 4:21.70;
Fourth, lane 6, 4:31.83
……
In lane 4 was Xu Wenlin, and lane 2 was Duke Duke, who was only less than 0.1 seconds faster than Duke . They finished first and second in their group and will join forces in the final.
Zhou Junwei in lane 5 almost suffocated in the pool after seeing the results. He was 0.05 seconds slower than Douc and in third place, becoming the unlucky guy who was eliminated. 0.05 seconds, what's the concept? It's five hundredths of a second, and that fleeting five hundredths of a second is not enough time to even blink an eye.
The audience burst into cheers at this time, Su Yun and they jumped and applauded vigorously, and Du Ke played a narrow victory to enter the finals, saving the last trace of face of the Nangang University swimming team. It's not that Nangang University has a cheerleading team, but the School of Physical Education also has a cheerleading team, and they are also cheering for their school's player Xu Wenlin.
A few families are happy and a few are sad, the winner celebrates the victory, the loser is sad, Zhou Junwei shook his head and sighed, his eyes were full of unwillingness and unconvincing.
Du Ke raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, refreshed! Then he climbed ashore and high-fived Jiang Zhigang who greeted him.
Sports competitions are so brutal that even a college preliminaries, full of drama and tragic and joyful stories. Perhaps that's what makes competitive competition so fascinating.
"It seems that the mass base of swimming in my country is getting wider and wider, and there are so many people watching a preliminaries, as a working swimming coach, I am very pleased." Hu Yucheng was also infected by the lively atmosphere of the scene.
"They're all students, right? The main thing is that students come to the Universiade and do not charge tickets. Du Dewei's eyes never left Du Ke, he was very happy, but he was also a little puzzled, "When did Du Ke practice high-frequency leg fighting?" The use of high-frequency leg kicks to accelerate seems to be quite effective. Dachengzi, what did you teach him? ”
Hu Yucheng also thought thoughtfully: "The sprint in the final stage is too exciting, I didn't count it carefully, Du Ke seems to use 8 legs, and this frequency is at least 8 legs." This is the technology of fifty years ago, so retro, obviously not taught by me, Lao Tzu is only forty-seven years old this year. You can go back and ask your son. ”
Du Dewei: "Don't ask, he has a final tomorrow, and we'll observe it tomorrow." Dachengzi, if you lose, I'll say that Duke can enter the finals. Let's go, invite me to drink! ”
