Chapter 265 Reluctance to give up
Chapter 265 Helplessly Give Up
"Is it second place? This is not bad!" Li Tian leaned his hands on the isolation belt in the swimming lane, and he looked up at the rows of score data displayed on the electronic screen. He could also happily accept the result of the second place.
It is not a simple matter to rush out from among so many top masters. Li Tian is now very glad that this is only a 50-meter game. Forcing his movement frequency just now has caused the shoulder joints on both sides to sore and sting. It is a blessing that he has not been injured because of this. If he has another 50 meters of distance, he will definitely not be able to support himself, let alone win the silver medal in the end.
The result of "21.86 seconds!" not only created Li Tian's personal best result, but also the first time that Asian players swam into the 22-second mark in the 50-meter freestyle event in the official competition, rewriting the original Asian record of 22.18 seconds maintained by Japanese player Tomoya Yamanoi. Li Tian, who has long been accustomed to the "small thing" of breaking records, does not care about this. In his opinion, the national record and the Asian record really don't feel much.
Li Tian was able to accept his results, but the audience who watched the slow-motion replay after the game were all regretful, because through the slow-motion comparison of the final sprint, Li Tian's head had slightly surpassed Hoganband before touching the wall and took a lead of several centimeters. But this is not a track and field competition. According to the regulations of the swimming competition, the athlete's results are based on the time displayed after the arm touches the time sensor of the pool wall. Although Li Tian has already gained a slight lead, Hoganband has a height of nearly 2 meters, and with the arm span, it is more than 20 centimeters higher than Li Tian, who is more than 1.80 meters tall. He reversed the disadvantage of these few centimeters at once, and touched the sensor before Li Tian's fingertips touched the wall. His 21.79-second winning result also proves how weak the gap between the two is.
Faced with such a situation, what else can Li Tian say besides smiling bitterly? He is not something he can control. Afterwards, more than a dozen famous domestic and foreign height-enhancing products manufacturers came to Li Tian and proposed to provide free height-enhancing products produced by Li Tian's company, and promised to increase Li Tian's height by ten centimeters within half a year. Li Tian naturally thanked him for this proposal. He never thought of making his height exceed 190 cm. According to the physical characteristics of oriental people, once he has a height of more than this
With height, the body's ability to move will decrease and the movements will become slower. This is determined by the muscle nature and bone characteristics of the Orientals. Although Li Tian's physique is far higher than the standards of the Orientals, the impact will definitely be. Moreover, as the height increases, the center of gravity of the body will also increase. This will have a huge impact on his speed and balance ability. Looking at the "amazing" movement speed of the big and tall Chinese men's basketball team on the basketball court, Li Tian made up his mind to kill him and never join them.
"Haha... This kid is definitely a lucky star in our Chinese swimming industry. It's great, it's great..." This silver medal outside the plan also made Coach Zhao Ge so excited that he jumped straight. Li Tian knew his previous level very well and made great expectations, but he never expected to be able to swim through the 22-second mark. Perhaps the silver medal is not a great achievement for the women's team, but it is the best result for the men's team. It was also achieved in the freestyle event known as the "king of swimming", which is even more precious. In the history of the Chinese swimming world, the best result for the men's freestyle event was that veteran Jiang Chengji ranked fourth in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Ten years later, how could Li Tian not make such a major breakthrough not make him, the coach, ecstatic.
"Hiss..." Li Tian supported his hands on the edge of the swimming pool. When his arms pushed his body up with force, the tingling sensation from the shoulder joints on both sides made him take a big breath of cold air. His arms suddenly softened and his body fell back into the swimming pool.
"It seems that the problem is more serious than I imagined..." The impulse is the devil, and now Li Tian finally knows the meaning of this sentence.
"Come up!" At this moment, a wide palm reached in front of him.
"Thank you!" Li Tian took Roland's right hand tightly and with the help of his pull, Li Tian successfully pulled out of the swimming pool.
"I didn't expect that in the end I was surpassed by you, a boy who had only been in contact with the swimming pool for a few months! Li Tian, you are such an incredible guy. If I hadn't known that Chen Zuo never lies to friends, I would have believed what the media said, you are simply the secret weapon that the Chinese swimming team has been cultivating with all their strength." Although Roland's 21.98-second score was already very outstanding, it was still quite different from the ranking he expected. This time he came for the gold medal with confidence. Unexpectedly, not only did he lose to Hoganband in the end, but Li Tian also "screwed in the line" to him.
"It happened to be in good condition and performing well!" The two did not continue talking, and there were competitions for other events. Li Tian, who returned to the rest area, moved his shoulder joints on both sides and confirmed that his joints were not damaged, so he gradually felt relieved.
"Xiaotian, I did it so beautifully. The final battle was simply suffocating, but it would be even better if you were willing to eat more calcium tablets in the past!" After changing clothes and returning to the team, the friends waiting here immediately stepped forward and hugged him enthusiastically.
"Now you have another reason to treat me, don't think you can't let it go!" Ouyang Kunpeng's right hand slapped Li Tian's shoulder excitedly, and the bitterness coming from his shoulder made Li Tian frown.
"Xiaotian, what's wrong with you?" Huang Shaohua, the most careful among the people, immediately observed Li Tian's inappropriateness and asked.
"It's nothing. I seemed to be a little overworked when I was sprinting just now. My shoulders are a little sore now. Just wait and go to the team doctor to take a look."
"How can you wait for such a thing? Let the team doctor examine it immediately. Many players do not pay attention to such minor injuries and pains, and do not seize the time to treat it. They will regret it when the injury worsens and affect their sports career!" The fierce reaction of their teammates shocked Li Tian, but this also proved the teammates' concern for him. Under the joint "escort" of a large group of people, Li Tian obediently found Dr. Chu's medical room in the team for examination.
"Doctor Chu, Li Tian... there is nothing wrong with his shoulders?" Coach Zhao Ge and team leader Yuan Jiawei also rushed to the medical room specially prepared for the Chinese team by the organizing committee. Li Tianzheng was lying shirtless on the snow-white bed for examination by Team Chu. The two of them had not found Li Tian just now, and later they learned from a team member that Wu Peng and Zhang Lin and others were accompanying him to the medical room. This immediately made their renal secretion increase rapidly. Looking at Doctor Chu who was concentrating on the examination, Coach Zhao asked carefully.
"Of course there is a problem..." Dr. Chu said lightly without raising his head.
"What! There's really a problem!" Dr. Chu's words seemed to immediately throw the two wise figures of the swimming team into hell. Li Tian's current status at the national treasure level in China is undoubtedly. When he was injured at this time, as the main leader of the swimming team, he had to be responsible. Zhao Ge seemed to have seen countless banana peels and rotten eggs waiting for him, while Yuan Jiawei was worried that the old guys from Athletic League would pounce immediately after learning the news. After all, this treasure was finally borrowed from the Athletic League.
"Of course there are problems, but they are just small problems!" Doctor Chu's next words made the two swimming teams truly experience the realm of sadness and joy, and even more so that Zhao Ge and the others were urged to pinch people's necks.
"Li Tian's shoulders are caused by excessive burden on the shoulder joints, which causes irritating pain in the shoulder muscle groups and tendons. Generally speaking, it is not serious. As long as you have a day of rest and proper massage treatment, the pain will completely disappear. However, it is best not to compete again during this period." Dr. Chu briefly introduced Li Tian's current situation.
According to the suggestion put forward by Dr. Chu, coach Zhao Ge convened the members of the coaching team overnight that night for a meeting, and finally decided to let Li Tian give up the competition between the 200-meter individual freestyle and the 4X100-meter medley relay. The vacancy for the 4X100-meter medley relay will be made up by Chen Zuo. As for whether Li Tian will participate in the men's 100-meter freestyle preliminary round, which will only start tomorrow night, it depends on Li Tian's recovery at the time. Li Tian could only accept this decision helplessly.
The next day, Li Tian suddenly announced that the 200-meter freestyle and 4X100-meter medley relay competition suddenly aroused various speculations from the media, which made Coach Zhao and the original team leader barely fall in love with it. It was not until Li Tian appeared in the stands with a relaxed look on cheering for his teammates that the reporters and the audience who cared about him believed that he was just feeling unwell in his body, and preserved his strength for the 100-meter freestyle competition that started at night.
