Hard training

"I'm so exhausted!" After completing the 1500-meter test, Li Tian climbed out of the swimming pool, lying on the edge of the pool without any concern, gasping heavily. He completed so many tests with all his strength within two hours, and even Li Tian, ​​whose physical fitness is comparable to that of the monster Shrek, felt weak.

"Xiaotian comes, wipe your body dry!" The four German brothers from Li Tian, ​​from the four-person group, came here to provide logistics support for Li Tian today. Even if Watel himself would participate in the competition in three days, he still came. After Li Tian got ashore, Watel immediately took a big towel to help him dry the water marks on his body.

"Come on, take a sip of the drink to replenish some water." Lobeck was holding a bottle of sports drink next to him and put the straw to Li Tian's mouth. Kozel worked harder and was busy giving Li Tian a muscle massage. With these brothers and "serving" around him, Li Tian was so comfortable that he almost moaned.

Cademan, who had been fiddling with the mobile digital camera, also inputted the image data recorded when Li Tian was testing it into a laptop computer. Zhang Lin and three others were sitting in front of the computer to analyze and study Li Tian's performance just now. The three of them were very excited just now. It took a long time to calm down from the excitement. Li Tian, ​​who had never received professional swimming training, could actually swim very close to the results of professional swimmers, and there was also great potential for improvement. Zhang Lin even believed that as long as Li Tian can now receive two to three months of professional swimming system training, he would be able to reach the current level. The top level of domestic swimming events, even if he was asked to represent the Chinese team in international competitions, his final results would not be embarrassing. Compared with the three, the expression of the German "four people" was much calmer. Perhaps after spending a long time with Li Tian, ​​the four people had completely gotten used to Li Tian's extraordinaryness. Although they learned from Wu Peng and the other two that Li Tian had achieved such an exaggerated performance, they all subconsciously believed that this was a "normal" performance for Li Tian. Half an hour later, Li Tian's physical fitness had basically recovered, and the three Chinese swimming elites who had studied the video for a long time also made a final assessment of Li Tian.

"Xiaotian, after discussions between the three of us, we reached a consensus." Eight people sat around the swimming pool, and Zhang Lin spoke on behalf of the "temporary coaching team".

"What's your opinion? Have you selected the three-day main attack project?"

"Well! We analyzed your test results and your physical advantages. We unanimously believe that the two events that are most suitable for you are currently 50 meters and 1500 meters. First of all, 50 meters, which is the shortest event in the freestyle competition. The explosiveness of athletes has become the key factor that affects the results of the competition, and this is your biggest advantage. I think there are probably not many in the world who can compare with you!"

"Of course, I am confident that I will never lose to anyone in explosive power!" The recent series of major competitions have established strong self-confidence for Li Tian.

"So we have to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and give full play to your advantages in explosive power. The technology is your weakness. Three days are really too short. Although freestyle is a swimming posture with low technical requirements, it is impossible for any genius to master a series of technical problems such as entering the water, diving, turning, correct and reasonable movements and postures in such a short time. The swimming pool of the college competition is a 50-meter pool. The 50-meter competition just omits the "turn around". This is one of the most difficult technical movements in swimming, so that your weakness can be reduced to the lowest point." Zhang Lin explained to Li Tian.

"I can understand this, but since that's the case, why do I still have to choose 1500 meters? I have to swim 15 times in the swimming pool, and I turn around the most. Wouldn't this increase my weakness?"

"The reason we chose 1500 meters is to take full advantage of your other major advantage - physical fitness. Do you know how amazing your 1500 meters score was just now? I can tell you that the results you swam just now can be ranked fourth in the 1500-meter race. This is created by just maintaining a high swimming speed with extraordinary physical fitness. I have never seen anyone with such strong physical fitness. If my coach knows this, it will definitely cause trouble for the leaders of the Sports Bureau to dig you over. If it really comes to that time, my position will be tense." Zhang Lin happened to be the champion of the men's 1500-meter freestyle in the '1500-meter race', and he has an absolute say in this regard.

"Although 1500 meters turns the most, it is different from turning in short-distance events. Since 1500 meters is a very physical energy-consuming event, it is impossible to swim at a high speed in short-distance events such as 50 meters and 100 meters. The whole process is carried out at a relatively stable speed from beginning to end. It is much simpler to complete the turning movement when the swimming speed is slower than in short-distance events. Moreover, through these three days of training, I think even if it is slightly weaker than other players, you can make up for this weak link with your physical strength." After hearing Zhang Lin's explanation, Li Tian nodded immediately agreed.

"Okay, since we have all unified our understanding, then we will train Xiaotian to focus on your current weaknesses. Through the observation just now, we roughly summarized the focus of the training for these three days, including entering the water, diving within 15 meters after entering the water, turning back, correcting the details of action and matching the movements and breathing. As long as these five aspects can be solved, you can become a qualified swimmer. I believe that winning the championship in the end is not difficult." Then Zhang Lin also arranged tasks for the two companions, and the two took turns going into the water to train with Li Tian, ​​and cooperated with Zhang Lin's explanation to demonstrate the movements for Li Tian.

Water entry training is the first hurdle that Li Tian has to face. In a short-distance event like 50 meters, the advantages you gain when setting out can often determine the final result of the competition. When entering the water, it emphasizes the angle of the body's water entry and the control of the body when it is in the air. If the angle of the water entry is too large, you will not get the forward momentum after entering the water, which is not conducive to the next 15-meter diving. If the angle of the water entry is too small, it will hit the water horizontally like Li Tian at the beginning, and loses the speed of forwarding. If you want to enter the water at a very suitable angle, it requires athletes to adjust their body posture in the air after jumping out of the starting platform. However, to achieve this, it takes a long period of training to experience it slowly, but what Li Tian lacks the most now is time.

"Xiaotian, you should pay attention to Wu Peng's posture in the air. Your body was completely loose when it was in the air just now. In this way, the body will have great resistance after entering the water. Xiao Peng demonstrates it to him again." Wu Peng said on the departure stage.
