April 10, the second match day of the Baoji Championship. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For Duke, today is his last day of competition, and he will be on his way to southern Yunnan tomorrow. He will meet up with the special coaching staff of the Chinese national cycling team and the national track and field team at the Chenggong training base in southern Yunnan province, and then go on a period of altitude training, which is part of the big plan in Rio and has been scheduled in advance.

The 100 self and 100 back World Championship tickets are done, and Duke is still short of a 400 free Kazan ticket.

In the morning, it was still the preliminaries, and at half past five in the afternoon, the men's 400 free final was scheduled to be played first.

The men's 400 self-finals are about to begin, with Du Ke, who finished first in the preliminaries, in lane 4, and Sun Yang in lane 5 next to Du Ke.

As the champion of the men's 400 free at the Incheon Asian Games, Sun Yang has already won the ticket to the Kazan World Championships.

Sun Yang is not only the Asian Games champion in this event, he is also the men's 400m freestyle champion at the London Olympics and the Barcelona World Championships, he is a Grand Slam winner in the men's 400m freestyle, and he is the best men's 400m freestyle athlete today.

Sun Yang, the best men's middle and long distance freestyle swimmer, and Du Ke, the best men's short and middle distance swimmer, won 17 gold medals at the Barcelona Swimming World Championships, and the total number of gold medals in the men's events at the World Championships was 20.

After the two stars of the Chinese swimming team appeared, the audience was boiling, screaming, cheering, taking pictures, and laughing at themselves...... Crazy at all.

The deafening screams almost knocked over the roof, so that Du Ke and Sun Yang in the 4th and 5th lanes talked to each other, but they couldn't hear what the other was saying.

So Du Ke and Sun Yang hugged each other and patted each other's backs, as if they were mobilizing each other before the game.

"They're working on Ji again!"

"Sure enough, he is a world-class good friend!"

The audience, the reporters, and the entire onlookers were all happy.

"The last time we played each other was 400, right?" Sun Yang whispered.

Doucle: "Yes, two years ago in April, the 2013 championship 400 freestyle final. ”

Sun Yang was a little regretful: "At that time, you had just debuted, and you couldn't win me in the 400 self-finals, but who knew that on the day of the final, you had a birthday, and the audience collectively sang a birthday song for you, and then you had a convulsion." Anyway, it's time for you to celebrate your birthday again in the past two days? ”

Duke: "Just after the other day, my birthday is April 7th. I still remember the final two years ago, and I was lucky enough to have 5 metres longer in the lane and I would have lost. ”

Sun Yang asked: "Is it expensive this year?" ”

Duke: "Just turned twenty-two." ”

Sun Yang: "It's just the right year, Xiao Du." ”

Du Ke: "You don't grow old, grandson." ”

At this time, the preparatory whistle sounded, and the eight finalists took to the jumping platform.

Du Ke and Sun Yang played each other again after two years, which is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of this championship.

Sun Yang's 400 free PB time of 3:40.12 is his Olympic record for winning gold at the London Olympics, and the second-best time in the history of the men's 400 free, behind the world record of 3:40.07 held by Biederman.

In the men's 400 freestyle, a few hundredths of a second is almost negligible, and Sun Yang was just a little short of breaking the 400 free world record that year.

However, now Sun Yang can no longer swim in about 3 minutes and 40 seconds, while Du Ke can easily swim in 3 minutes and 40 seconds in training.

It's game on!

Duke started quickly, Sun Yang started very slowly, and the other six players did not slip.

In fact, Du Ke came to participate in the 400 free, the national team coaches did not feel strange at all, two years ago just debuted Du Ke won the 400 free championship of that year's championship, the coaches are ready to arrange him and Sun Yang to participate in the 400 free individual event of the Barcelona World Championships, but Du Ke himself gave up the 400 free place in the Barcelona World Championships.

Zhou Jianlin, the coach of the national team in charge of the freestyle event, said triumphantly to other coaches: "If you want to say 400, it is Du Ke's famous project, you probably don't know much about the inside story, Du Ke was discovered by me when he was in the upper 400 self at the 2012 Universiade, I said at that time, how can this kid jump so far?" It can't be from the long jump, right? ”

"Later, when I investigated, Duke really practiced track and field, and when he was in high school, he also got a track and field level 2 athlete certificate, and then I tried my best to bring this track and field level 2 athlete into the national swimming team, hehe, what a legendary story." Zhou Jianlin is self-absorbed, with the demeanor of "I am Bole": "If I can discover such a genius in this life, my coaching career can end early, and after the end of my coaching career, I want to travel the world......"

"Your eyes are like torches, your eyes are discerning, it's boring to pretend again, and we won't even have to do colleagues in the future." Other coaches condemned it, but they had no choice but to have the capital to pretend to be ****.

"Alright, alright, let's focus on the game." Zhou Jianlin pointed to the pool and felt that the picture in the pool was so familiar: "This 400 final seems to be a copy of the final two years ago?" ”

In the pool, Du Ke's swim was already halfway through, and Sun Yang had not yet completed the 200-meter turn.

In the 200 meters, Du Ke is already more than 10 meters ahead of the second place Sun Yang.

The same was true of the 400 self-finals two years ago, Du Ke was ahead of Sun Yang in the future, and when he entered the back, Sun Yang began to explode and increase the frequency, and chased Du Ke with high frequency, but he almost failed to catch up with Du Ke and lost the final.

Now, two years later, the plot is the same.

Sun Yang, who was ventilated on one side, found that Du Ke was far ahead when he turned around at 200 meters, so he began to lunge with his legs and chase Du Ke at full speed.

In fact, Sun Yang's swimming rhythm is like this, no matter who he fights with, slow start and soy sauce in the future are his characteristics, of course, relying on strong endurance reserves to explode several people in a row is also his forte.

But at this time, Sun Yang found that even if he raised the sprint speed to the highest, he couldn't explode Du Ke.

"You can't lose too much to him!" Sun Yang, who was not in the best physical condition, did not admit defeat and continued to pursue with more frequency.

Douc had already made his penultimate turn and had 100 meters left to go.

When he turned around, Du Ke found that Sun Yang still couldn't catch up within ten meters, converted into seconds, Du Ke estimated that Sun Yang was now at least 5 seconds behind him.

Du Ke didn't want to blow Sun Yang too badly, but he couldn't let the water go too obviously, Sun Yang is not a well-known player such as Xu Jiayu and Ning Zetao, he is an Olympic champion and a Grand Slam winner, and it is an insult to Sun Yang if he puts it too obviously.

As a result, Duke had to resort to technically and highly difficult water release techniques, and when he turned around for the last time, he played soy sauce during the diving stage, after all, it is not so easy to observe the underwater soy sauce.

In addition, Sun Yang really fought hard in the final stage, and finally, Sun Yang chased Du Ke to within ten meters, and Du Ke had already touched the wall first at this time and won the championship.

Sun Yang won the runner-up, and the third place Qiu Ziao was thrown away by Sun Yang ten meters away, which shows the horror of the strength of the champion and runner-up.

After the results of the 8 lanes came out, the audience roared with joy, and Duke finally broke a world record!

In 3:38.51, Duke shaved the men's 400 world record of 3:40.07 by more than a second and a half, and he opened the 3:40 mark, which he did with a technical release. (To be continued.) )
