Chapter 179: The American Who Was Scared and Cried
The Chinese team prepares for the area.
While the U.S. team is analyzing the Chinese team, the Chinese team's coaching staff is doing the same thing.
The strength of the U.S. medley relay team is well known, and the Chinese team's coaching staff has targeted the U.S. team as the number one target to develop a tactical style of play. With the determination to apply for Tsinghua University, even if the final college entrance examination score is not enough to go to Tsinghua University, then you can study in a 211 college.
The head coach of the Chinese men's team, Qian Gui, gathered Du Ke, Ning Zetao, Chen Yin, Xu Jiayu and other four people in front of him, and he was also calculating the strength comparison between his own four sticks and the four sticks of the American team.
Coach Qian said to Xu Jiayu: "Xiao Xu, your first backstroke against Greaves, what results can you make, tell me the bottom, can you do it in 52.50 seconds?" ”
Xu Jiayu said confidently: "No problem! ”
Xu Jiayu had just won the bronze medal in the men's 100 back, with a third-place time of 52.55 seconds, but of course it was a bit regrettable that he was overtaken by Greaves in the final stage and lost the silver medal. However, Greaves's strength is indeed stronger than Xu Jiayu, and Xu Jiayu himself admits this.
"Okay." Coach Qian nodded, affirmed Xu Jiayu's confidence, and said: "No matter how Greaves bursts, he shouldn't be able to swim within 52 seconds, because he has never swam within 52 seconds in an official competition." So as long as Xiao Xu can make a time of 52.50 seconds, he can control the gap between the first stick and the deficit within 0.5 seconds. Of course, it would be best if you could beat Greaves, but we can't simulate the process with the most optimistic results, so 0.5 seconds is your guaranteed task, and the shorter the second, the better, come on, Xiao Xu. ”
"Second breaststroke." Director Qian turned to look at Duke Ke, but he stopped talking, and finally said: "Duke Ke's breaststroke stick will be talked about later." ”
"Oh." Douc nodded.
Coach Qian said to Chen Yin again: "The third butterfly, Chen Yin, your task is actually the most arduous, because your opponent is the most powerful. Rochette swam 50.75 seconds in the 100m butterfly in the 200 mixed finals, and your best time in the 100 butterfly was 51.88 seconds. ”
"Chen Yin, as long as you can swim a butterfly stick score of 51.58 seconds, you will complete the task. As for how fast Lochette can swim, we don't care about him, but I guess he should be able to beat you by about 1 second in the butterfly stick. ”
Chen Yin nodded and said, "Understood, I'll do my best." ”
Director Qian continued to say to Ning Zetao: "Xiao Ning, your freestyle is the last stick, our last bayonet, I believe you will not lose to Adrian, so my guarantee task for you is to draw Adrian, can you do it?" ”
Ning Zetao resolutely made a military order: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”
In the end, Qian Gui looked at Du Ke with a kind of Liu Bei Tuogu eyes, he trusted Du Ke as Xuande Gong trusted Zhuge Liang, but he also knew that his bear child Adou was not so easy to be helped up to be a good emperor, Qian Gui said to Du Ke: "According to our calculations just now, the two sticks of Yang and Butterfly may be about 1.5 seconds behind the American team, even if Xiao Ning can beat Adrian in the freestyle stick, he will not win much." ”
"Even if we are optimistic that Xiao Xu can hurry up, Xiao Ning can hurry up, and Chen Yin can hurry up, the three of them together will be 0.2 seconds faster at most, then we are still 1.3 seconds behind the American team. Duke, can you beat Team USA breaststroke player Cordes by 1.3 seconds? ”
Qian Gui estimated the strength comparison between China and the United States, and finally came to the conclusion that in order for the Chinese team to defeat the American team, under the premise that Ning, Xu, and Chen can complete the bottom guarantee task, Du Ke must win the Cordes in the breaststroke stick by more than 1.3 seconds.
At the same time, on the side of the U.S. team, head coach Lachman's demand for Cordes is: he can only lose to Duke by 1.5 seconds at most, and beyond 1.5 seconds, the gold medal of the U.S. team will be in danger.
The head coaches of the two teams can be described as heroes, and their estimates of the difference between winning and losing are within 0.2 seconds.
Will Duke be able to beat Cordes by more than 1.3 seconds, and Doucle's answer is, "I'll do my best." ”
Cordes finished in the 100 final in 59.42 seconds, while Duke was the 100 champion with a time of 58.39 seconds, the latest 100 world record.
If Duke were to beat Cordes by more than 1.3 seconds, not counting reaction time (because everyone had to subtract reaction time) and only counting the swimming phase in the pool, then he would have to swim 0.3 seconds faster than his world record.
100 frogs is not 200 mixed, 0.3 seconds faster than the world record, Duke didn't coax and said I must do it, he can only promise to try to hit it. In the 100-meter race, it is not easy to shorten the world record by 0.3 seconds or 0.1 seconds.
"Okay, the strength of both the enemy and the enemy has been revealed, you just need to do your best, we don't think much about the final result. If you can win against the U.S. team, you can earn it, and it's normal not to win. Go for the race and get ready for the race! Coach Qian waved his hand and asked the players to prepare for the game.
In the swimming relay race, the calculation between the sticks must be accurate to a few tenths of a second, so that the players of each stick can have a number in their hearts and have a goal.
At this time, the final of the women's 4*100m medley relay was over, and the women's teams of the United States, Australia and Russia won the championship, second and third place respectively, and the Chinese women's team unfortunately won the fourth.
Immediately afterwards, the men's 4*100m medley relay race is about to begin, and the relay teams of the United States, Australia, Russia, France, China, Germany, Japan, Italy and other eight countries have entered the zone.
The first team in the preliminaries is the United States team in lane 4, the second French team is in lane 5, the Chinese team is in lane 3 with the third place in the preliminaries, and Australia, Russia, Japan, Germany and Italy are in lanes 6, 2, 7, 1 and 8.
The eight first-place backstrokers all got out of the pool, the start order sounded, and the race began!
Eight backstrokers kicked off the wall and began to race.
Xu Jiayu's kick reaction is still very fast, with a reaction time of 0.56 seconds.
But Team Greaves of the USA reacted faster, with a 0.52-second reaction time that was predictable, several notches faster than he did in the 100 backs final, and it seems that he is taking the relay race 120 percent seriously.
Greaves took the lead, followed by France's Lecoult, Japan's Ryosuke Irie in third, and Xu Jiayu in fourth.
After turning around, Xu Jiayu overtook Ryosuke Irie, but it was difficult to catch up with Greaves and Lecourt.
Greaves was the first to hit the wall and handed the baton to teammate Cordes, and his backstroke time of 52.01 seconds was almost his limit.
Xu Jiayu touched the wall for the third time and handed the baton to Du Ke, his time was 52.49 seconds, and he completed the guarantee task of 52.50 seconds.
After jumping into the water, Douc immediately started the big water wheel, and before he reached the side, he had already overtaken and led Cordes.
After the dolphin turned around, Du Ke sprinted at full speed, he grabbed the first place in the first 50 meters, what he has to do now is to maximize the gap between him and the opponent behind him, leaving Chen Yin and Ning Zetao as much capital as possible.
In the breaststroke stick, Duke was the first to touch the wall and handed the baton to Chen Yin.
Doucle's breaststroke time of 58.05 seconds should have been faster than his 100 breaststroke world record with his reactions.
Team USA's breaststroke stick Cordes clocked 59.37 seconds, losing 1.32 seconds to Doucle.
Duke beat Cordes by more than 1.3 seconds, and he got the job done.
Xu Jiayu trailed Greaves by 0.48 seconds in the backstroke stick, and Duke overtook Cordes by 1.32 seconds to hand over to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin entered the water with a 0.84-second lead and began the butterfly stick race.
This final entered the third butterfly, which was already in the second half, and at this time the first was the Chinese team Chen Yin, the American team Rochette, and the French team Missoula were in the second and third.
This stick is very crucial, whether Chen Yin can withstand Rochette's pursuit will determine the direction of the championship.
Chen Yin is also swimming desperately, it can't be said that he didn't do his best, it's just that Rochette is even more fierce.
Before turning around, Rochette had already caught up with Chen Yin, catching up by 0.84 seconds.
After turning around, Chen Yin has been surpassed by Rochette!
Chen Yin felt the severity of the situation, all he could do was to hurry up and go faster, even if he lost to Rochette, he couldn't lose him too much, otherwise it would be difficult for the buns to return to the sky!
Lochette was the first to touch the wall, in 50.57 seconds, and he swam a beautiful 100 butterfly time.
Chen Yin risked his life in the final stage, chased wildly, and handed over a butterfly swimming stick time of 51.57 seconds. He completed the task of 51.58 seconds, losing exactly one second to Rochette.
This 1 second is the gap between the strongest stick of the American team and the weakest stick of the Chinese team, there is no way, Rochette's hard power is here.
Ning Zetao took over Chen Yin's baton, and at this time he was already 0.16 seconds behind Adrian, the last batter of the American team.
After Ning Ze entered the water, he opened up all his firepower and pursued Adrian desperately.
In fact, the strength of Ning Zetao and Adrian can be described as half a catty, in the 100-meter freestyle, it is normal for anyone to win and who loses, and it will not be very big, 0.1 seconds or even a few hundredths of a second are normal.
Adrian has never been under so much pressure, when he took over the baton in freestyle, his first three teammates would keep him full, plus he was an Olympic champion in the 100 free, and he was a top international expert, generally speaking, after Adrian took over the baton, he basically went to harvest the gold medal.
It's just that now, in the face of the crazy pursuit of Chinese player Ning Zetao, Adrian feels that this gold medal may be lost in his hands!
I can't afford to lose! If you lose, you won't go back to the United States!
Adrian, an idol star with Chinese ancestry, can no longer eat with his face, he has to work hard, fight all his energy to defend himself and the honor of his country.
In the first 50 meters of the freestyle stick, Adrian, who tried his best, finally withstood Ning Zetao's compelling pursuit, and he took the lead in turning around and entering the final 50 meters.
The head coach of the American team, Lachman, including Greaves and Cordes, is now afraid to go to the pool! They were nervous as if facing the end of the world.
Only Rochette calmly looked at the battle situation in the pool, and after calming down for a while, he couldn't help but freeze!
"God! Win! We've finally won! The always suave Rochette roared like crazy at this time, startling both the coach and his teammates.
"Really won?" Coach Lachman finally dared to look at the pool, and then he looked at the results on the big screen, and the ecstasy after his eyes was no less than that of Rochte: "Win!" We won! Our American team won! Four hundredths of a second, it's not easy! My heart is going to stop! Why are the Chinese so difficult? ”
The U.S. team did win, and in the last freestyle, even though Ning Zetao caught up with Adrian by 0.12 seconds, the final result was still lost by 0.04 seconds to the U.S. team.
The U.S. team narrowly defeated the Chinese team and won the men's 4*100m medley relay championship by a narrow margin of four seconds, and the Chinese team was the runner-up.
Grives, the Olympic champion who has always been coaxing and self-serving, shed tears of excitement and satisfaction after seeing the championship results of the American team narrowly defeating the Chinese team, he cried, the 2.03-meter American strong man, crying at this time is like a little daughter-in-law who has been tortured by her mother-in-law and turned over overnight and was straightened.
Including Cordes, who also cried, he was dumped by Duke for 1.32 seconds, and if Rocht hadn't been fierce enough, he would have been the sinner of Team USA for the ages.
Du Ke, Ning Zetao, Chen Yin, Xu Jiayu and other four have an average age of 20.27 years old, and they played very well in this final, and each stick has completed the set task. The reason why it lost to the U.S. team by 0.04 seconds was because the U.S. team played equally well. The U.S. team was cornered by the Chinese team, and if they didn't play hard, they would have to retire en masse to thank the world.
These four hundredths of a second reflect the gap between the overall strength of China and the United States in swimming events, and the medley relay with four full swimming styles is the event that best reflects a country's comprehensive swimming strength.
The United States' emphasis on swimming, the coverage of swimming venues, and advanced and perfect scientific training methods are all stronger than China's.
Du, Ning, Xu, Chen composed of the Chinese men's 4*100m medley relay team won a silver medal, although they failed to snipe the medley relay overlord of the United States team, but the main players of the American team were frightened by the four of them to cry, although the Chinese boys were defeated!
