Chapter 178: Not a Human, Not a Human
Duke stepped on the world record line and set a new world record in the men's 200 mixed in a blood-pumping way.
The European commentators began to talk about the upcoming European football league, and the Australian commentators' interest turned to Australian Rules Football.
They did not dare to face this extremely cruel reality, so they had to choose to escape.
Duke won the 200 mixed championship with a god-like performance, and the god of swimming was born, who competed?
The blind can also see that in tomorrow's 400 mixed finals, Du Ke's god-level status is still unchallengeable.
Tomorrow there is another round of individual event finals, which is the 1500m freestyle, although Du Ke did not register for the 1500 freestyle, but his teammate Sun Yang will participate in the 1500 free final.
Sun Yang has won two gold medals in this World Championships, the 400 free and the 800 freestyle, and his strong strength in the men's middle and long distance freestyle events is undoubted.
After the 200 mixed finals, there are only two individual events left that have not yet decided the gold medal, namely the 400 mixed and the 1500 free.
So the commentators from Europe and Australia don't want to talk about any swimming competitions anymore, if nothing else, the Chinese men's swimming team will snatch 15 gold medals from the 17 individual events, and two more gold medals have been snatched away by the South African team.
Du Ke has won 11 gold medals in individual events (plus gold medals in the 4*100m freestyle relay, he has currently won 12 golds), Sun Yang has won two gold medals in individual events, and it can be expected that the only two remaining gold medals (400 mixed and 1500 free) will not escape the clutches of Du and Sun Chinese.
Dandan's sad mood shrouded the European and Australian media, and the most incredible scene in the history of swimming is about to play out tomorrow: European and Australian men's athletes performed abnormally in a group at the World Swimming Championships, and they won a total of 0 golds! (99.99% likelihood)
The fate of Europe and Australia is the same as that of the former hegemon of the American men's team, but the American commentators are braver, at least they dare to face the bleak life: "OMG! You can't swim so fast after drinking stimulants, and with Duke's swimming speed, a fish of the same size as him probably can't swim him. Perhaps, FINA will have to ask Professor Boitler to test Duke's genomic components, and non-humans cannot participate in human swimming competitions. ”
Boytler is a well-known biologist/medical expert in the United States and winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
The American commentator used this American humor to complain about Du Ke's anti-natural performance, and if Du Ke was tested by a cytogenetic expert and was not a normal human, Americans might feel a little better psychologically.
Team USA Preparation Zone.
Lochette made it home in the 200 mixed finals, and the last glimmer of hope for the U.S. men's swimming team was shattered.
Despair, a sense of despair permeated the face of head coach Lachman, he felt that this must be God's punishment for himself, before the start of this World Championships, who would have expected that the big-name American men's swimming team would not even win a gold medal in an individual event?
Lachman was a little afraid to go back to the United States, and he pondered that he would simply take his wife and children to Europe for a few months of vacation. It's a shame to have no face to see the old folks east of the Mississippi River.
However, the optimistic American coach quickly gave up on this negative thought, "At least, we have two more relay races." No matter how strong Du Ke is, he is strong alone, but the overall strength of the Chinese team in the medley relay is not as good as ours. Ryan, Matt, Nathan, Stephen, come here and assemble, I'm going to rearrange my tactics! Lachman shouted to the four players.
Ryan Rochte, Matt Greaves, Nathan Adrian, Stephen Cordes and four others quickly gathered in front of the coaches, who were the quarteters of the U.S. men's 4x100m medley relay team. Greaves listened to his coach this time and responded quickly. The U.S. team really can't afford to lose anymore, and they feel a sense of crisis like never before.
If they go head-to-head, they can't pick Du Ke and Sun Yang, and they have to find a way back in a group fight.
Under the shroud of an unprecedented sense of crisis, the American men's team, which has always been not very disciplined, has shown a rare team cohesion at this moment, which has been forced out by the Chinese team.
At this time, the final of the women's 4*100m medley relay is about to begin, and the host is introducing the names of the players of each team. Lachman probably had a dozen minutes left to lay out the tactics of the U.S. men's medley relay team.
In the past, the coach of the U.S. team didn't need to set up the tactics of the medley relay at all, because the U.S. men's medley relay team was just too strong. What the coach has to do is to arrange the candidates and the baseman, and submit the baseman list to the referee team before the start of the game, and his work will be completed. After the order, swim as much as you like, the U.S. men's medley relay team doesn't need any tactics, you can win any swim.
The U.S. men's relay team holds world records in all three relay events, including the 4*100m freestyle relay, 4*200m freestyle relay, and 4*100m medley relay, which is enough to show their overall strength.
Although the U.S. men's 4x100m freestyle relay team lost to France at last year's London Olympics, and they lost to China in the final of the 4x100m freestyle relay at the World Championships, the U.S. team is stronger than the freestyle relay in the medley relay.
The registration rules for the World Championships relay race are: the same team can arrange four different competitors in the preliminaries and finals. 4 hours before the start of the preliminaries and finals, the coach needs to report the team's selection table to the referee team, once submitted, the 1-4 sticks in this table shall prevail, and the participants and clubs shall not be changed at will.
The list of medley relay finalists submitted by the U.S. team to the referee group is:
First bat, backstroke, Greaves;
second stroke, breaststroke, Cordes;
third bar, butterfly, Rochette;
Fourth stick, freestyle, Adrian.
In addition to the U.S. team's baseball table, Lachman also has a baseball table for other teams: the Chinese men's 4*100m medley relay team final baseball table.
It is not difficult to get the final table of the Chinese team, and Lachman believes that the coach of the Chinese team also has the team table of the American team in the hands of the coach.
"Boys, France, Australia, and Russia don't have to worry about it, but the Chinese team, we must pay attention to it!" Lachman said to his four fierce generals.
"It's going to have to be taken seriously." It was Greaves who spoke, and after being beaten by Duke in the 100 backs final, he is now particularly well-behaved and docile, absolutely obeying the instructions of his coach.
Lachman has a portable tactical board in his hand, and he holds a board in one hand and a pen in the other, writing and drawing on the tactical board:
Backstroke, Greaves vs Xu Jiayu, A-;
Breaststroke, Cordes vs Ducco, ?;
Butterfly, Lochette VS Chen Yin, A+;
Freestyle, Adrian VS Ning Zetao, B/B-/C+/C/C.
Lachman compared the 1v1 of the U.S. team and the Chinese team's back, frog, butterfly, and self-four batters, and he used the American scoring method to estimate the strength of each batter.
Lachman believes that in the first backstroke, Greaves can beat Xu Jiayu, and A- is a good result. He expects that as long as Greaves reacts to the start and stops being so sluggish, Greaves will have no problem winning by 0.5 seconds. In the men's 100 back final just now, Greaves overtook Xu Jiayu in the final stage, winning Xu Jiayu by 0.29 seconds, if Greaves plays normally, it is not a big problem to get an A-, which is not difficult to do.
In the third butterfly, Rochette is Lachman's most reassuring stick, he believes that the strongest Captain America VS the weakest Chinese butterfly swimmer, Rochette can get an A+ score and win Chen Yin by more than 1 second.
In the final freestyle, Lachman rated Adrian quite uncertainly, with five scenarios ranging from a near-failing grade of C- to a mediocre B. He believes that Ning Zetao of the Chinese team's freestyle stick is the second dangerous person after Du Ke, and Adrian may not be able to win Ning Zetao, even if Adrian can be faster than Ning Zetao, it will not be much faster, and the lead will not exceed 0.1 seconds.
Cordes, the weakest batter on the U.S. team, was a little confused, and he asked Lachman: "Mr. Coach, whether they are A, B, or C, at least they have an evaluation value, so how can it become a question mark for me?" ”
Lachman said with a solemn face: "Because, I can't predict how many seconds you will be thrown away by Duke, maybe I can only give you D." ”
Cordes: "......" (To be continued.) )
