Chapter 254: A stunning success

"Li Tian is in the water!" The host's voice was almost roaring, which shocked the audience who were waiting in front of the TV. The wave after wave of sound at the scene was like the tsunami caused by a 12-caliber hurricane blowing on the sea, constantly hitting every corner of the museum and shaking everyone's heart. All the Chinese people at the scene were roaring and hustling, and every Chinese audience was shouting the name that once made them feel extremely proud and proud again and again.

"Oh my God! Is the end of the world coming? Everyone is going crazy! If there is a riot at this time..." A very young American journalist stared at a pair of slightly panicked eyes and kept scanning the crowd around him who had completely fallen into mania. Especially when he saw that even a beautiful girl in his 17 or 18 years old was faintly "murderous" in the eyes of a beautiful girl around him, his thin body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Tsk! It's rare and weird. Even with this little courage, he dared to come out and have a little bit of courage!" At this time, a Chinese colleague beside him muttered contemptuously, and the disdain in his eyes made the young American journalist's face suddenly turn red and white, because everyone knows that reporters are one of the top ten dangerous professions in the world, and his reaction just now was indeed embarrassing.

"It's okay, you won't feel strange next time. In China, as long as Li Tian appears, it will make the audience at the competition go crazy. I saw the same situation when I went to Beijing for the World Track and Field Championships last time, but it's hard for me to understand why this is the case." Another American journalist who seemed older said.

"Hmph, how could you Americans understand Li Tian's position in the hearts of us Chinese sports fans?" The Chinese reporter snorted coldly. Whether it was Li Tian conquering Chinese sports fans with his strength or the preferences of Chinese sports fans for him, too many people like this young man who was only seventeen years old, too many people bet on Li Tian with special emotions and attention, and too many hopes. Li Tian did not disappoint this expectation, and used his incredible performance to surprise the Chinese people who supported him again and again, becoming a banner for Chinese sports on the world competitive stage, so he can win everyone's unreserved support and love.

However, Li Tian, ​​who was struggling in the swimming pool, certainly would not notice this small episode in the stands. Now he only had a simple goal in his mind, that is, to catch up with Thorpe and Roland, who were leading in front. Facing the two world's top swimmers and having such a big lead, Li Tian understood that it was unrealistic to surpass them, but even if it was only a centimeter away, Li Tian hoped to be closer to them.

Outstanding explosive power and Superman's physical strength are two key weapons for Li Tian to achieve excellent results in the track and field. In this swimming pool, Li Tian also fully utilized these two advantages. After 15-meter diving, Li Tian, ​​who came to the surface, began to accelerate wildly. The frequency of strokes with his arms became faster and faster, and each stroke became more and more powerful. The Russian and British players who were originally closely behind were quickly left behind.

"Good example, catch up!" Seeing Li Tian approaching the two leaders step by step, the coaches of the Chinese national swimming team in the stands were also very excited. Over the past month, through the joint efforts of their coaching team, Li Tian's personal strength can be said to have improved rapidly. With such an outstanding student, as teachers, they of course couldn't wait to show Li Tian's strength to the world.

"It's too fast, it's too fast. Li Tian's strength is a bit surprising. I believe this will be beyond the expectations of many people. Russian and British players were quickly distanced by him, and there is also a slight momentum to catch up with the two players in front..." Obviously, Li Tian's current performance surprised the foreign media who expressed all kinds of doubts about his personal strength before the game, but it made all Chinese sports audiences excited. To be the last hit player of a veteran team like Russia and Britain, Chikiev and Leiden have convincing personal strength, but today they are destined to be two stepping stones for Li Tian to set foot in the international swimming world. When they are getting farther and farther away from Li Tian, ​​everyone has realized one thing, that is, Li Tian's strength is much stronger than them.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with the British team? Did Leiden hold his ankle by the water ghost?" Seeing that his country's veteran Leiden was left behind by Li Tian, ​​British journalists couldn't believe their eyes. If it was acceptable to be left behind by South Africa and Australia, then being far ahead by the Chinese team was something they wouldn't want to believe in no matter what.

"Did you see it? This is the strength of our Chinese team, haha... compared with Li Tian, ​​Leiden is not of the same level at all. I knew that Li Tian would not disappoint us, haha... Long live Li Tian...!" Even though the British media was unwilling to accept it, the facts could not be changed, and the total number of Chinese sports fans breathed a sigh of relief. At the beginning, the British media's contempt and self-righteous speculation and suspicion of Li Tian made many "heaven fans" angry.

Perhaps it was confirmed that our team could enter the finals. In the last 50 meters, Roland and Thorp made some reservations, while Li Tian's desperate pursuit narrowed a lot of the gap. Therefore, when the finish line touched the wall, the gap between South Africa, Australia and China was not big. However, South Africa still won the first place in the group with the advantage established before. It was no problem for the Chinese team to be ranked third and enter the finals. Russia and Britain ranked fourth and fifth respectively. Whether they can enter the finals must be compared with the results of the first group. The Japanese team in the same group ended the game with the embarrassing performance of the last group and was eliminated "regretfully". The previous "bold words" of the Japanese team also became a joke at this time.

"We succeeded!" Chen Zuo and the other two pulled Li Tian up from the swimming pool together. Although they had not reached the top four goals, the result of the first time in the World Championships men's 4X100m relay final also made them extremely excited, and they suppressed the veteran strong teams Russia and Britain, which made them more confident in the evening final.

At this time, a series of data were played on the large electronic screen on the scene. The Chinese team ranked fifth in the total score ranking of the sixteen participating teams. The strong American team ranked first. Their 3 minutes, 14 seconds, 79 were the best results in the world this year. South Africa and Australia followed the United States team with 3 minutes, 15 seconds, 01 and 3 minutes, 15 minutes, 59 respectively. The fourth place was occupied by another strong North American team, Canada.

Their swims were also a pretty good result, and the Chinese team ranked fifth with a slight disadvantage of 0.3 seconds behind it. However, the 3:16:22 scored a great breakthrough in the original Asian record of 3:20:52 maintained by the Chinese team, and increased the record by 4.3 seconds. This made the audience and coaches on the scene exclaim. Such a huge span has never been in the history of the world swimming world.

There have been cases. The gap between the Dutch team ranked sixth and China is quite obvious. With the last moment of the men's 100m freestyle world record holder Hogan Bande, the Dutch team was able to successfully advance. However, the prospects of the Dutch team, which is hardly supported by this veteran, are not favored. Without excellent young newcomers, Dutch swimming is also inevitably weakening. The Russian team has a similar fate to the Netherlands.

This former Eastern European powerhouse could only barely advance as seventh place this time, and the results were far from the previous six teams. If they had to get the ticket to the 2008 Olympics, unless their players performed exceptionally in the finals, the luckiest of the eight finals teams was the British team. They squeezed out the fourth French team in the first group with the advantage of 0.04 seconds and were lucky enough to take the last last train.

However, this is not what made the audience most excited. After the personal competition data of the 16 participating teams were released, Chinese swimmers were surprised to find that among all the players who completed the 100-meter time, Li Tian's 100-meter score was only ranked fourth after Hoganbande of the Netherlands, Phelps of the United States and a Canadian player. You should know that the players participating in the freestyle relay competition are the best freestyle experts in various countries. Almost all the top experts participating in the short-distance freestyle individual events are gathered here. Li Tian can beat many famous players at this time, which means that Li Tian has the strength to challenge the world-class top experts. Many "sky fans" can't help but start looking forward to the beginning of the Li Tian's personal events.

"The Chinese team made a brilliant debut in the World Swimming Championships, and the men's relay team broke the Asian record!"

"China's swimming has entered a new era. The performance of men and women in the first preliminaries of the World Championships is eye-catching, and Li Tian's performance is world-class!"

"Li Tian used his actions to fight back against suspicion - I can also 'fly' in the swimming pool! The Chinese men's relay event reached the World Championships final for the first time, and Li Tian made contributions to Hanma."

"The fifth place in the Chinese men's relay preliminaries, Li Tian's swimming pool made his debut and made a stunning debut, and his fourth place proves his strength!"

...

The morning competition ended, and the Chinese team's performance perfectly met the expectations of the coaching team before the game. In particular, the debut of the men's freestyle relay team can be described as a sensation. Not only did it reach the final of the men's freestyle relay event for the World Championships for the first time, it also raised the Asian record to a considerable level. Li Tian's excitement even made the media and swimmers excited. The inspiring news reports were also spread from the media reporters on the scene to famous places across the country.
