Chapter 225 History repeats itself (three in one)(1/2)
In the end, Tang Hao easily won the first place in the group by leading Xu Jia in two multi-position positions. His result was frozen at 52.54 seconds, easily breaking Cheng Feiyi's national record.
After breaking national records in three consecutive group matches, Tang Hao continued his magical performance.
After Tang Hao continued to work hard on that night and won the championships of the 100-meter backstroke and 200-meter butterfly, domestic media's evaluation of him had reached an unprecedented height.
"The national competition has been Tang Hao's personal show, and famous players such as Sun Yang, Ye Shiwen, Jiao Liuyang are all called foilings!"
"The first player to dominate the full swinging posture is from China. Tang Hao shines hard to beat Phelps, and Rochet and other world-renowned players!"
"London will become Tang Hao's personal stage, and it is optimistic that the minimum guaranteed 10 gold is expected!"
...
And amid the high-profile comments from the media, Tang Hao continued to perform his bravely and won the championship in all the full-swimming stance events he participated in.
So much so that after the championship game entered halfway, the audience and the media were no longer discussing who was the favorite to win the championship, but became the most powerful contender for who was the runner-up.
And in this atmosphere, the mentality of other players is becoming polarized.
Those who did not compete in the same field as Tang Hao were secretly glad, while those who competed with Tang Hao were a majority of players who were jealous and resentful towards Tang Hao were deepening.
Against this backdrop, Tang Hao and his teammates from East Zhejiang Province ushered in the relay race of the 4x200m freestyle.
This is the first time Tang Hao has participated in the 200-meter relay competition, and it is also the only freestyle competition he has participated in this championship.
The lineup sent by eastern Zhejiang Province this time is still Tang Hao, and the top three players are Wang Shun, Hao Yun and Li Yunqi, and Sun Yang did not appear on this list because he was going to participate in the 800-meter preliminaries on the same day.
Tang Hao replaced Sun Yang and became the trump card of eastern Zhejiang Province, making the audience's expectations for 200 meters higher.
When warming up before the game, Shen Qing was also full of confidence. Although Sun Yang did not participate in the competition, except for Tang Hao, Wang Shun and Li Yunqi were both members of the Asian Games championship. Hao Yun was in a surprisingly good condition this year. Such a strongest lineup will not only win cards, but may even set a new national record.
This is reflected in the preliminaries. They obviously retained their strength and easily won the first place in the group and advanced to the finals in the evening with the first place in the preliminaries.
Like the usual competition, the media began the runner-up prediction with full gimmicks. Among this prediction, Shanghai Stock Exchange and Helan Province became the team with the highest calls for the Asian victory.
Even a newspaper in Shaoxing used an extremely joking tone when describing the 200m final: Even with three old ladies, Tang Hao could help Zhejiang Province easily win this championship.
This description is not original by a newspaper in Shaoxing. In basketball news, the basketball god Jordan has never appeared in similar news, but it is an unprecedented first time to use this adjective in swimming competitions. This is obviously a necessary connection with Tang Hao's previous outstanding performance.
On the evening of April 6, the final of the 200m freestyle relay race officially kicked off in the Shaoxing Swimming Pool.
Zhejiang Province, which is the first in the preliminary round, ranked fourth lane, the fifth lane is the Shanghai Stock Exchange team with the highest reputation for winning the Asian market, and the third lane is the Helan Provincial Team, which is comparable to the Shanghai Stock Exchange team.
The first base in Zhejiang Province is young player Hao Yun, who won the third place in this 200m medley single competition.
"Everyone is here!"
"Qua!"
With an electronic gunshot, the players jumped into the swimming pool one after another. Hao Yun continued his outstanding state in the individual competition and occupied the top spot in the competition from the beginning. As the distance progressed, his leading advantage continued to grow.
After turning 50 meters into the game, he had more than half an advantage in leading the second place in the Shanghai Stock Exchange team.
In the first 100 meters, he steadily maintained this leading advantage.
Shen Qing nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines and maintained this rhythm. In the end, if Tang Hao rushed for a while, he would have a good chance of breaking the national record.
However, I don’t know if he was rushing forward too hard. When he entered the second 100 meters, Hao Yun seemed to be in poor physical strength, and his leading advantage was constantly shrinking. By the last 50 meters, he was actually overtaken by the players from the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Helan Provincial Team.
Such performance surprised the audience. Even Shen Qing stood up at once, which was the rhythm of capsizing in the gutter!
In the end, Hao Yun hit the wall with a third place.
The second club in eastern Zhejiang Province is Li Yunqi. As a member of the Asian Games championship, Li Yunqi's popularity is obviously much higher than Hao Yun.
However, his condition in the final seemed to be very average. He couldn't catch up after 200 meters.
Shen Qing on the sidelines was a little anxious at this time. He was in good condition during the preliminary round, but why did everything go wrong in the finals?
But the game continued, and he couldn't call a timeout. He could only pin his hopes of breaking the record on Wang Shun.
As the most outstanding player in Zhejiang Province this year, besides Tang Hao and Sun Yang, and is also the most famous and powerful player, as long as he performs normally, it is not a problem to recover the first place.
Wang Shun's performance after entering the water was indeed in line with Shen Qing's expectations. He grabbed the first place after 50 meters, which attracted a burst of excited cheers from the audience on the sidelines.
"Wang Shun regained the first place and maintained this rhythm. Tang Hao will once again bring us a new national record like in the previous game!" The sideline commentator looked at Tang Hao at the starting point at this time and shouted excitedly.
After Wang Shun regained the first place, he firmly occupied the first place and firmly maintained this advantage in the first 100 meters.
However, after entering the latter 100 meters, the players from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Team and the Helan Provincial Team also began to exert their strength, constantly narrowing the distance with Wang Shun.
Not only the players from these two provinces, but perhaps stimulated by the on-site hosts, other players who were lagging behind in the provincial team also began to sprint with all their might.
One of them grew and the other was deteriorating. At this moment, Wang Shun seemed to have some physical problems. Not only did he almost make a mistake when turning around in the last 50 meters, he was overtaken by the players of the Shanghai Stock Exchange team and the Helan Provincial Team. When he sprinted in the last 50 meters, he continued to fall backwards and fell to the fifth position.
Such performance attracted a lot of booing to the audience.
The gap between expectations and reality made Shen Qing feel huge, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet in place.
In the end, Wang Shun was the fifth one to touch the wall.
And as Tang Hao touched the wall, Tang Hao also jumped into the water.
This is the first time Tang Hao has participated in the 200m freestyle competition. In addition to the preliminary round, this is also the second time he has partnered with these teammates. He doesn't know what happened, but it is obvious that he needs to sprint with all his strength to win the gold medal.
However, it is obvious that the players from other provincial teams are also getting bloody and are all struggling to grab them.
After entering the water, Tang Hao turned on the water fetch 8 times, and his whole body was like a high-speed motor rushing forward.
"Tang Hao fought hard! He was sprinting to win back the gold medal in eastern Zhejiang Province!" the commentator on the scene shouted excitedly.
At 50 meters, Tang Hao narrowed the gap with the fourth Guangdong team. After turning 50 meters, he successfully surpassed his opponent to the fourth place with his excellent turning skills.
The cheers from the audience were even higher than expected.
Tang Hao's sprint in the swimming pool continues.
Although other players were sprinting with all their might, it was obvious that they could not stop Tang Hao from chasing.
This is not a question of whether to work hard or not, but a real gap in strength.
Amid the loud shouts of the commentator on the scene and the deafening cheers of the audience, Tang Hao turned from fourth to third, then from third to second, until the last 50 meters, and accelerated to overtake the Shanghai Stock Exchange team's player to the first position.
After the entire venue continued to heat up, it was completely boiling.
This is not the expected script, but it is more exciting than the expected script.
In the end, Tang Hao chased from fifth to first place, and successfully hit the wall with the advantage of leading the Shanghai Stock Exchange team half a position, helping Zhejiang Province win this hard-won gold medal.
After touching the wall, even the commentator jumped up from his seat excitedly.
At the end, the other three teammates from Zhejiang Province who were originally nervously looking at the swimming pool, and at this time, they looked at the results on the display screen and thoughtfully.
After reaching the finish line, Tang Hao was panting violently. He participated in the 200-meter breaststroke competition in front of him. Now he is rushing so hard, and his physical energy consumption is quite large.
After he recovered, he looked around and saw that the other players had been pulled into the swimming pool by his teammates. On the contrary, the other three people here seemed to have no intention of coming to pull him.
His brows couldn't help but frowned slightly, and in the end he climbed up the wall of the pool by himself.
When he came up, Hao Yun and Li Yunqi seemed to react and came over and said, "Brother Tang, you are really amazing!"
Tang Hao smiled, said nothing, and then went back to the locker room.
After the award ceremony of the 200m relay race, Tang Hao, who was a little tired, went back to the hotel first.
When he returned to the hotel, he took a shower and lay on the bed. He was enjoying this rare rest time, Zhuang Jiajie suddenly called him and said he wanted to give him a piece of information.
Tang Hao was also full of curiosity when he gave him some information and was also serious.
He took the things sent by Zhuang Jiajie, opened them and looked at them, and fell into deep thought.
According to the meaning of his agent on the phone, this document has been posted online and he saw it accidentally.
It is very necessary to choose to give it to Tang Hao at this point in time, as he said.
This is an electronic document compiled by someone who doesn’t know who is the main one. The document is screenshots and text descriptions, and the theme is the Zhejiang Eastern Province Swimming Team.
At the beginning of the document, it exposed the qualities of several team members in eastern Zhejiang Province. Coincidentally, the first one in the document was Wang Shun, Hao Yun and Li Yunqi who were in the 200-meter relay tonight.
In 2012, in addition to Weibo still being popular, there was also something called Renren.com, which also maintained a high popularity.
The screenshots that exposed these team members are from Renren.com.
On this website, several people who have been verified by real-name swear frequently and even directly criticized some people. As public figures, they have no personal image at all.
In addition to these male players, Shao Yiwen of the women's team is also of a sub-minded quality. Dogs seem to have become pronouns that speak more than these words.
Originally, quality is a personal issue. Most swimmers start training since childhood, which can only be a private issue at most.
However, the content of the second part of the document has refreshed Tang Hao's understanding of more than 50 years of past and present.
Wang Shun, Hao Yun, Li Yunqi, and Tang Hao are much worse than Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen. However, one-sidedly, since Tang Hao’s name was renamed at the World Championships, including that dinner in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he has always been a bit of Tang Brother.
Even in this championship game, they still respect him very much in front of others and have treated him as the top team.
Including the women's team, Shao Yiwen is not as experienced as Ye Shiwen and Fu Yuanhui, but she often goes to him to act coquettishly.
But it was this group of people who really had a 360-degree turn to him on Renren.com, and even gave him a nickname called "Big Brush".
In the screenshot of this document, they first complained that he participated in the full swinging posture and did not give other players a chance to survive. Then after he achieved breakthrough results in succession, these complaints turned into resentment and abuse.
Even when Hao Yun was about to participate in the 200m freestyle single event, Wang Shun and Li Yunqi said that Hao Yun could finally win the gold medal if he was not there.
Not only that, they even cheered for his competitors before Tang Hao's game and said something like killing big shots.
