In the 400-meter freestyle final, Duke gambled because he was not willing to win a silver or bronze medal.

Athletes will maintain polite etiquette when they are not competing directly, but once the pool is a direct competitor, there is no one who does not want to compete for the championship.

In terms of theory and data, Hao Yun is stronger than Du Ke. Even the coaching staff of the Nanyue team admits this.

But theory is theory, actual combat is actual combat, and in the sports arena, anything can happen.

At the National Olympic Trials half a year ago, everyone thought that Zhang Lin was stronger, but the newcomer Hao Yun, who was not optimistic, overpowered Zhang Lin in the competition and took the last ticket to the London Olympics.

Isn't the uncertainty of unpopular, dark horses, and competitive sports the charm of sports?

The strategic policy for Du Ke formulated by the coaching staff of the Nanyue team for the final is to "win medals", and the specific tactical play is to "follow Hao Yun and seek opportunities".

After adding the 5 bonus points he had accumulated for a few months to the explosive attribute, Du Ke decided to come to "seek wealth and danger", he chose to be willful once, not following Hao Yun closely, but suppressing him at the beginning.

In the face of a strong opponent, instead of retreating, it is better to bravely attack. After facing it head-on, you will find that, oh, it turns out that he is not insurmountable, but he is just stronger than ordinary people. Lose, many times, because of your own timidity and lack of self-confidence.

A champion's heart, an athlete's desire to win, drives Duke not to admit defeat and not to retreat, this is a hidden attribute in his bones, perhaps he himself does not realize that he is actually a bit of gambling and adventurous.

He used his powerful jumping stunt and high explosiveness to open the scene, and he mixed up the water in the pool. He took a gamble, and this time he didn't open a double stunt in the middle of the game, but saved [8 kicks] until the last 50 meters. It was this round of eight kicks that made him sprint in the final 50 meters, and the timing of this skill was very appropriate and crucial, and he became more and more proficient in understanding the game and timing the opening of the skill.

Duke won the bet.

At this time, the results came out, and Douc won the championship with a time of 3:46.21!

Hao Yun finished second with a time of 3:46.98, and Zhang Lin ranked third.

“yes!” Duke couldn't help but punch the water, splashing a splash.

"Good! This kid has a future! Hu Yucheng on the shore, as Du Ke's head coach, clenched his fists and shook them a few times, looking more excited than Du Ke.

"Young man, you just have your own personal thoughts......" Director Luo, the head coach of the Nanyue team, showed a strange expression, as if he was not overjoyed but a little surprised, Du Ke did not follow his established tactics closely, but had the courage to boldly suppress.

"This is exactly, when the two armies meet, the brave ......wins," Director Luo's tone suddenly changed, and a fleeting smile finally appeared on his serious face, "Actually, it's not a bad thing to have ideas, the chief designer once taught us, be bold, you can be a little bigger." ”

"Hey, Luo guides you......" Hu Yucheng was speechless, this old coach is really interesting, if a player doesn't swim well, he will really be a person, if there are results, then everything will be fine.

On the spectator stand on the opposite side of the rostrum, there were two people sitting in the front position, and the bald fat man was Zhou Jianlin, the first assistant coach of the national men's swimming team. Compared with the balding Zhou Jianlin, the man next to him has much thicker hair.

Mr. Zhou said he was 39 years old, but he looked at least 50. The thick-haired man is 50 years old this year, but he looks younger than Zhou Jianlin, his name is Qian Zhenglong, Zhou Jianlin's superior, and the current head coach of the national men's swimming team.

In fact, as the first and second figures of the men's national team, they can sit in a row behind the leader's seat on the rostrum. But they both felt that sitting behind the leaders of the swimming management center and the swimming association was too restrained, so they slipped into the spectator stand to watch the competition, when in fact they were inspecting the competitors.

Zhou Jianlin pointed to the direction of the pool and said to Qian Zhenglong: "Coach Qian, the champion of lane 5, Du Ke of the Nanyue swimming team, can focus on it." The 400 self-swim is 3:46.21, if it had been released half a year ago, he would have made an A standard score and could have gone to London. Hao Yunyou's game is not bad, he was indeed a little anxious in the middle and early stages, and he turned out of the amateur level for the third time, but he adjusted in time in the middle and late stages, and he played normally throughout the whole process. ”

Du Ke has left a deep impression on Zhou Jianlin at the Universiade in June, and found good seedlings, coinciding with this 400 self national championship Du Ke won the championship again, and Zhou Jianlin is also happy to recommend Du Ke to his boss Qian Zhenglong.

Compared with Zhou Jianlin's thirst for talent, Qian Zhenglong seems much calmer: "This player's explosiveness is excellent, which can be seen from the take-off and sprint, but there are still certain flaws in some technical details." There are many players who have a flash of inspiration and suddenly burst out in good competitive condition, and inspiration comes and goes quickly, and I am more concerned about stability, so let's see. ”

"Oh, too." Zhou Jianlin agreed, and he didn't want to say anything more, and continued to say good things to Du Ke, if Coach Qian didn't make it, he would think that Du Ke was his relative.

In fact, Zhou Jianlin and Du Ke didn't know each other, but they found Du Ke at the Universiade by chance. Sports coaches and antique players are somewhat similar in some ways, and they have a great interest and even obsession with "picking up leaks", and the sense of accomplishment is great when they find a treasure that was originally unnoticed by their own hands.

The capital that is most worthy of antique players to brag about is often not "I spent 100 million at Sotheby's to shoot a jar", but "I spent 1,000 on a stall to pick up a big leak". The capital worthy of the coaches' life is "who is the Olympic champion, I found out and brought him into the national team before he became famous".

Zhou Jianlin no longer suggested anything more to Qian Zhenglong, he couldn't help but glance at Du Ke in the pool more, and said in his heart: I haven't seen you for a few months, this guy seems to have become stronger again. Players who have improved so quickly are worth picking up the leaks.

In the pool, although the expression on Du Ke's face was relatively calm, he was excited in his heart.

The national winner is worth a lot of excitement.

He also won the national championship at the Universiade, but it was at the college level, and the current national championship championship has a higher gold content.

As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come. Duke had just used up his last 5 bonus points, and now, his investment had paid off, and he had won the 400 self championship, and he had completed another daily mission.

The system rewards are: "Get the championship, complete daily tasks, get basic reward points: 20, get extra reward points: 10 (skip the level to participate in the competition)." A total of 30 bonus points are earned, and the balance of available bonus points is 30 points. ”

"30 bonus points, just in time!" Du Ke was secretly happy in his heart, "With these 30 bonus points, you can buy that top swimming stunt." ”
