"Old Zhao, have you heard of it? There is a good show to be performed in the swimming pool at 2 o'clock in the afternoon!" Walking into Zhao Ge's head coach's office, the team leader Yuan Jiawei said with a smile on his face.

"I've known for a long time that many people in the team have opinions about our recruitment of Li Tian, ​​and have long expected that those kids would not be so calm." As if everything was expected, Zhao Ge, the head coach of the swimming team, said indifferently.

"Oh, then don't care about them? This is not like your usual style!" The two have been working together for many years, and Yuan Jiawei naturally has a very good understanding of Zhao Ge.

"Share it? How to manage it? This is something that will happen sooner or later. It is impossible to suppress it by our coach alone. Since many of them have opinions about this, it is better to let them release it at once. We can take this opportunity to intuitively understand the specific situation of Li Tian over the past period of time, and at the same time, we can also give other players a preliminary understanding of his level. If you do not show your strength in the national team, you cannot convince people. If Li Tian cannot let all your teammates agree, it will definitely be detrimental to the unity within the team." Zhao Ge picked up the teacup and took a sip and said calmly.

"Well! Yes, the internal unity of the swimming team is the most important! Then it depends on Li Tian's performance in the afternoon. Ye Zhenghang is a very powerful player, especially in the 100-meter short distance event, Zhang Lin can't guarantee that he will win." Although Yuan Jiawei believed that Li Tian has great potential, Ye Zhenghang is not an ordinary person. In his opinion, the winners and losses of both sides in the afternoon are 55.

"So that's it. No wonder he caused trouble for me just the first time he met me. It turned out that I snatched his job!" After returning to the dormitory, Wu Peng and the other two told Li Tian about Ye Zhenghang's general situation, and finally let him figure out the relationship.

"You can't say that. The position of our swimming team is not fixed to anyone. Whoever has the strength is going to be, whoever is in good condition is going to be. Even my current position is not sure. If the training performance is not good, I will still be defeated. When we recommended you to the coaching team, we agreed that as long as this month of systematic training, your strength will definitely be improved to a new level and will definitely be competent for the main position in the swimming team." Zhang Lin sat aside and said confidently.

"Haha, it seems that your confidence is more than mine, but in this way I can't let you down!" Li Tian smiled relaxedly. He did not feel any pressure in his heart against an opponent of Ye Zhenghang's level.

"Li Tian, ​​who just joined the team, wants to compete with Ye Zhenghang!" This news spread quickly in the swimming team. Before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a lot of team members had already gathered in the swimming pool of the training center. Even some coaches were paying attention to the situation below from the office window on the second floor.

"Azuo, who would win this competition?" Chen Zuo and Huang Shaohua are both main players in the relay team. If Li Tian is officially selected for the relay team, he is likely to work with them. So the two are also very interested in this private confrontation between Li and Ye.

"It's hard to say. I haven't seen Li Tian's strength with my own eyes. Although he was so amazing in the newspaper, the authenticity of it makes people doubt it. Although Lao Ye is more proud, his strength is first-class. I personally prefer Lao Ye." Chen Zuo made his own opinion.

"I think Li Tian will win. As for why I can't say it for a while, it's just a pure personal feeling." Huang Shaohua's view was exactly the opposite of that of his friend.

"Personal feeling? It's not that Li Tian and you are fellow villagers, so you just lean towards him!" Chen Zuo remembered that Huang Shaohua and Li Tian both came from Province G, so it's normal for him to have some personal emotions to shift.

"Maybe there are factors in this regard, but Li Tian seems to never be able to associate failure with him." As a player who came out of G Province, Huang Shaohua knew very well that Li Tian's position in the hearts of G Province people, and that he would always be the invincible image of the "God of War" in the arena.

At 140 pm, Li Tian walked into the swimming pool of the training center under the leadership of Zhang Lin, Wu Peng and others. At this time, almost all of the 70 male and female members of the training team came. Li Tian could even recognize the figures of world swimming celebrities such as Luo Xuejuan, Qi Hui and Xu Yanwei. It can be said that the status of Chinese swimming in the world swimming world in recent years was supported by these female players, which made Li Tian and other male compatriots feel a little ashamed.

Ye Zhenghang and Qian Bin have already arrived earlier. It seems that only Ye Zhenghang participated in this competition and is doing a serious warm-up. Although he is a little arrogant and is not convinced by Li Tian's pushing him out of the relay team, Ye Zhenghang did not dare to underestimate Li Tian's strength. Although he did not have the chance to meet him in person, he was recognized by top domestic players such as Wu Peng and Zhang Lin and many senior coaches in the coaching team. It would be absolutely impossible without some real skills.

"Xiaotian, please warm up first. Remember to let go of your movements. After all, you haven't been in the water for more than a week." There are indeed some things that are not good for Li Tian. Li Tian has not conducted training in the week after returning to China, so it is really difficult to get into the competition state at once.

After changing into swimming shorts and warming up on the shore for a short time, Li Tian swam back and forth for 200 meters in the water. His self-satisfaction was very good. He was in an excellent state of exerting force and physical fitness, and he was more confident in the next competition.

"You two are players who mainly use short-distance freestyle, so there is no problem in the next competition to be set as 100 meters freestyle!" After Li and Ye finished warming up, Qian Bin called the two to the front and asked.

"I'm fine!" Ye Zhenghang was the main agent of this project, so naturally he had no objection, and Li Tian did not object. If it was a long-distance event such as 1,500 meters, he would be confident that he would let the other party swim fifty meters before setting off.

"Since there is no objection, let's start preparing for it!" The competition is about to begin, and the enthusiasm of the team members watching on the side has suddenly become mobilized and surrounded the swimming pool. After all, Ye Zhenghang is an old member of the swimming team, and of course he can get support from many people. However, he is more optimistic about Li Tian, ​​and his influence in the Chinese sports world has not weakened at all even in different fields.

"Come on!" Wu Peng and the other two slapped Li Tian's back with encouragement and pushed him to the front of the departure stage.

"Take out your true strength. I don't want you to have other excuses after the competition. If you can't even win me, it proves that you are not qualified to enter the relay team at all." Ye Zhenghang walked to Li Tian and said coldly.

"You don't need to worry about this. I will do my best no matter what competition it is. If you want to win me, just try it!" Li Tian is not the layman who knew nothing about swimming at the time. After this period of study and training, he fully understood what level his personal strength has reached.

"Old Zhao is here, we are ready to start!" In Zhao Ge's head coach's office, Yuan Jiawei could clearly see everything in the swimming pool through the window. Zhao Ge also walked to the window under his greeting.

"Old Ye, you must not lose face in our swimming team. Show your strength and let Li Tian take a good look! And I'll bet on you this month's bonus."

"Come on Li Tian, ​​we are optimistic about you, don't lose, otherwise I will have to live with the northwest wind this month." As the two of them walked onto the starting stage, supporters from each side also began to clamor, and some guys even opened a "hand-off".

"Each side takes their place!" As soon as Qian Bin, who was temporarily serving as referee, finished speaking, the voice at the scene immediately calmed down, and the two contestants stepped onto the starting platform with serious expressions.

"Preparation!...drip..." Just as the electronic departure order sounded, the two figures on the departure stage inserted into the swimming pool like dolphins entering the water.

"What a beautiful waterfall!" Li Tian's feet fell and jumped out of the starting platform in an instant. Whether it was the maintenance of the air posture, the distance and effect of the waterfall were perfect. Zhang Lin and others alone could determine that Li Tian had worked hard in this area during this period.

"Hey! Xiaotian's swimmer was not inferior to Ye Zhenghang. It's amazing, it's amazing. How did he do it?" After entering the water, Li Tian was able to keep pace with Ye Zhenghang without losing any point. Such performance surprised several friends who knew their weaknesses.

"Xiaotian's swimming movements are much smoother than before. It's completely gone from the stiff feeling he used to be. It depends on how he turns around. If Ye Zhenghang still cannot widen the distance between him and Li Tian after turning around, then he will definitely lose." Zhang Lin said with a positive look. The three of them knew Li Tian's terrifying and perverted long-term sprinting ability very well. The last fifty meters away after turning around was Li Tian's biggest advantage.

"Old Ye, speed up! Quick, hurry up, you are already behind!" The teammates who supported him on the shore were anxious. Ye Zhenghang in the swimming pool was even more anxious. The opponent was unexpectedly strong. He could not even open the gap in the first 50 meters. After turning around for 50 meters, the opponent suddenly burst out with a strong sprinting force, instantly breaking the previous balance.

"Xiaotian is sure to win!" Seeing the scene of turning around, Zhang Lin and the other two knew that the competition had ended early. Under Li Tian's increasingly powerful sprint, Ye Zhenghang was thrown farther and farther away, from a few centimeters to half a position, and then to a position. The players who originally supported him quickly stopped. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was obviously not a contest between the same level.

"This kid has made so much progress in just over half a month. It's really unimaginable! Whether it's entering the water, swimming, or his weakest turn before, he did a pretty good job in every aspect, and his overall movements were very smooth. I don't feel that he is a novice who has just been involved in swimming events." Wu Peng couldn't help but sigh.

"Drip!" With Li Tian's first touching the wall, this competition with a huge gap in strength came to an end. However, Li Tian's first result in swimming in this swimming pool surprised all the players present and the coaches who were quietly paying attention to the competition in other places.

"49 seconds 97!" The final results displayed on the electronic timer proved to everyone that he is currently the third player in China to swim through the 50 second mark, and the other two are his teammates in the relay team - Huang Shaohua and Chen Zuo.
Chapter completed!
