Chapter 247 Training End

"Xiaotian, you are too exaggerating! It's 49 seconds 97, even Zhang Lin can't do it. Currently, you are the third one who can swim through the 50-second mark in the 100-meter freestyle in China. It's only a few days!" As soon as Li Tian got ashore, Wu Peng and the other two immediately surrounded him. Ouyang Kunpeng even stroked his forehead with one hand and sighed loudly.

"Okay, you guy, I really doubt whether you have transformed into Superman. Come on, come on, come on, let me see where the transform switch is hidden in." Zhang Lin said and pulled Li Tian up and down to look. As a master of domestic freestyle events, although Zhang Lin's grade in 100 meters is far less than his grade in medium and long distances above 200 meters, his strength can also steadily enter the top five. However, he has never successfully broken through this 50-second big level, which shows how difficult it is. According to the three of them's previous understanding of Li Tian's strength, it's almost enough that he can swim within 51 seconds. Unexpectedly, the final result is improved by a full second more than they expected. It is this second that makes the meaning of Li Tian's grade essentially different.

According to the domestic swimming industry, a man who can swim within 51 seconds in 100 meters of freestyle can be considered an Asian-level player. If he goes further and breaks through the 50-second mark, it can be considered an international level. However, in the whole of Asia, the players who meet this standard can count ten fingers. However, even if they reach the international level, compared with the strength of world-class players, the gap between the two is not a small part.

If there is no strength to break through the 49-second mark, then there is no place to gain a foothold in the world swimming world. It is very regrettable that judging from the current situation of the entire Asian swimming world, no player has the ability to reach this level. The Asian record is 49.56 seconds created by Chen Zuo, a member of Li Tian’s relay team. In previous Olympics and World Championships, no Asian player has entered the final stage of this event. This cannot be said to be a shame in the Asian swimming world.

"Old Zhao, I didn't miss it. The electronic timing card is 49.97 seconds?" Yuan Jiawei stared at the electronic timing card opposite through the window of Zhao Ge's office, but still asked in disbelief. Although Li Tian was recruited by him personally from Germany, the impact on him was still too great.

"It seems that we have underestimated his energy. A person who can stand at the top of many outstanding players in the country is indeed not a simple person. In this way, the training plan we have formulated before will need to be modified. Perhaps our goal should be greater." Head coach Zhao Ge also said in a deep voice in shock. When Zhang Lin and the other two conducted special training for Li Tian for just a few days, it did indeed improve Li Tian's strength rapidly, but after all, they are not professional coaches, and the training method is not good.

Unification and normativeness did not maximize Li Tian's potential. It was not until Li Tian later joined the college's swimming club and accepted the training of Mr. Elton, the best coach in Germany and even Europe, that his strength once again improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, so Li Tian would accept Ye Zhenghang's challenge so readily. If he still used the strength of the college swimming competition to face this challenge, the victory and defeat of him and Ye Zhenghang could only be counted as 55, which is not as easy as it is now.

Unlike Zhang Lin and others who were extremely excited, other teammates who saw Li Tian's swimming skills for the first time fell into silence for a while. Those who had objections to Li Tian's selection for the swimming team had long since thrown their dissatisfaction on Java Island. Those who could swim with such results were fully qualified to occupy any main position in the team.

"I lost, the position of the relay team belongs to you!" Looking at the results displayed on the timer, Ye Zhenghang felt so dazzling. "50 seconds 51" is already a very outstanding result in China. If he could swim this result in the last "10th Games", he would at least be able to enter the "Three A" rankings, but compared with Li Tian's "49 seconds 97", all this seems so pale and powerless.

"It's really embarrassing. At the beginning, he looked confident and arrogant, but in the end he was completely defeated. What qualifications do you have to look down on others?" Ye Zhenghang couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and the arrogance on his face disappeared. Although he was a little arrogant and had too much regard for victory or defeat, he was a person who was brave enough to admit his failure. The strength Li Tian showed now was indeed beyond his reach, and he lost very convincedly.

"This is a great power, but in this way, all the opposition in the team should have disappeared. We don't have to worry about the relationship between Li Tian and the old team members. This is the place where the strong are respected." Yuan Jiawei, who came to his senses, smiled happily. Although he went to Germany to invite Li Tian into the swimming team, all this effort was very worth it.

"Help me notify other coaches of the coaching team to come to me. I believe the results of this competition are also far beyond their expectations. We have to make some adjustments to Li Tian's training plan immediately. First of all, the ultimate goal of training should be improved to a higher level. For Li Tian, ​​it is possible to complete it. I really look forward to how much he will improve in a month. In addition, if you find an opportunity to talk to Xiaoye, this child is also a good seedling, but he is a little too arrogant.

I'm angry, but I don't want him to lose confidence in his future after this competition." Originally, Zhao Ge and other coaches planned to build Li Tian into a player of Chen Zuo and Huang Shaohua in this month to make up for the gap in Liu Li's freestyle relay event. However, seeing Li Tian's performance just now, they realized that the goal set was too simple for Li Tian now, and Zhao Ge believed that there was still enough potential to tap in Li Tian.

"Brother Li is really amazing. Not only is he outstanding in the track and field, but he is also unambiguous in the swimming world. I, Chen Zuo, am really convinced. Now our relay team is even more interesting!" After Ye Zhenghang left silently, many teammates around him gathered.

"Originally, after Liu Li's accident, we were worried that we would not be able to complete the task of this competition. Now that you join our relay team, our strength is stronger than before, and the goal of winning the Olympic ticket is definitely not a delusion." Huang Shaohua also looked excited. Although relay is a sports event and the strength of a single person cannot play a decisive role, the strength of each individual will increase the strength of the entire team accordingly. In the past, the relay team was relying on him and Chen Zuo to barely stand in front. Liu Li and other teammates were slightly inferior to them, so the relay team could only show their might in Asia in the past, but it was much more dismal at the World Championships and the Olympics. Now that his strength and Chen Zuo have improved rapidly in the past year, Zhang Lin also relayed for 50 seconds. In addition to a Li Tian with unlimited potential, Huang Shaohua believes that this newly formed relay team is still very competitive.

After this competition, Li Tian's position in the swimming team was recognized by all the players, and in the subsequent training, Li Tian's hard work showed made many players feel ashamed. Of course, Li Tian's efforts also paid off, and were personally guided by many of the best coaches in the country. Li Tian's progress can only be described as "speed", so it forced the coaches of these coaches to modify the original training plan formulated again and again to speed up the training progress. In this short month, Li Tian has continuously broken many records in the domestic swimming world, which has allowed the nerves of teammates and coaches to be fully trained. Now, as long as the people in the swimming team, whether they are contestants or coaches, they have fully understood the specific meaning of the word "monster".

However, Li Tian is not just the only one who gained something from the entire swimming team. With him as a living example, it is a huge stimulation for the whole team, especially Huang Shaohua, Chen Zuo and Zhang Lin, the three members who formed the freestyle relay team with Li Tian, ​​have a far-reaching impact. Two weeks after Li Tian entered the swimming team, the freestyle results finally surpassed Huang Shaohua and Chen Zuo and became NO.1 in the relay team. The three teammates who were unwilling to surrender were also working hard.

With the clear goal of Li Tian, ​​the three of them have steadily improved during this period, breaking through their previous bottlenecks. Zhang Lin successfully swam into the 50-second mark in the 100-meter freestyle. Huang Shaohua and Chen Zuo approached the 49-second mark, and it was only one step away from breaking the barrier. Li Tian even successfully swam 48 seconds* in a training session. Such an impressive result made the coaches of the coaching staff smile all day long.

"It's finally over!" Amid the cheers of many players, the 30-day closed training for the Chinese National Swimming Team came to an end. In order to allow the players to devote themselves to the training strategy, the team not only handed over their mobile phones, but also restricted their computers to access the Internet. Training became the only content of more than 70 players in the team. Now it's over. Tomorrow, the whole team will take a flight to Shanghai, the host of the World Championship. Three days later, the World Championship will officially start there.
