Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 419 Preliminaries First
During Guo Zizhao's match, Deputy Director Shang Xiutang and Head Coach Zhang Dongya also stared closely at Guo Zizhao's figure on the screen, especially seeing that Guo Zizhao was still in the third place after turning around. I became even more nervous.

Compared with the performance of these two people with wide eyes and clenched fists, the performance of their fathers Guo Sheng and Song Ping is much calmer.

Hmm... Although Guo Zizhao is still in a backward position, Guo Zizhao's performance at this stage is no different from his usual training.That being the case, there is nothing to worry about.When Guo Zizhao sprinted in the final stage, it would be a breeze to overtake his opponent.

Sure enough, when Guo Zizhao passed the 25-meter central marking line, Dad clearly noticed that Guo Zizhao had started to sprint.

"Hey... this little turtle, this time he sprinted with all his strength nearly 10 meters earlier than before." Dad turned around and muttered to Song Ping in a low voice.

"Hmm... I guess it's because of being behind all the time. Guo Zizhao may also be a little anxious." Song Ping also nodded, and comforted, "In the past, Guo Zizhao always maintained the leading position in domestic competitions, so it's not easy to sprint early or late. It doesn’t matter. This time, we were a little behind from the start, so it’s right to sprint at full speed earlier just to be on the safe side.”

Song Ping was right. When Guo Zizhao observed that he was still half an arm's length behind his opponent after passing 25 meters, he chose to activate the "powerful advanced sprint skill" in advance.

Grandma's... This is Lao Tzu's first international competition, it's better to be on the safe side, first sprint to grab the first position!If the opponent also explodes in this game, then I will be sad!

If the big move is dead before it is released, then it will be a fucking embarrassment!
……

When seeing Guo Zizhao start to sprint faster and catch up with his opponent, Deputy Director Shang Xiutang and Head Coach Zhang Dongya, who had been nervous just now, also let out a long sigh of relief.

It’s okay, okay, Guo Zizhao has already started sprinting!Now that he has caught up, the rest of the race cannot escape Guo Zizhao's control!

Hush...Guo Zizhao is worthy of being a top international expert, and his mental quality is excellent!Not only did he dare to release so much from the start of the jump, but he was also able to stabilize his rhythm when he was behind, and launched a sprint to catch up in the second half. What a bold artist!

If other players in the national team also have this mental quality and strength, then we can sit back and relax!
Just when the two were sighing, Guo Zizhao quickly overtook the two opponents and launched a final sprint towards the finish line not far away.

And Popov, Hoganbender and others, whose expressions were gradually serious, finally changed their faces when they saw Guo Zizhao's speed in the last sprint!

Your sister...too fast!

Popov and Hogenbender couldn't help but glance at each other, clearly seeing the horror revealed in each other's eyes.This kind of sprint speed is not inferior to the peak period of the two of them!
Let me go... Could this be Guo Zizhao's true strength?If this is the case, it is reasonable for Guo Zizhao to be able to swim around 48 seconds.This Guo Zizhao is simply a master of the same level as himself in his peak period!

Although Guo Zizhao's final result for this preliminaries has not yet come out, Hoganband feels that Guo Zizhao's results this time will not be much worse than his previous preliminaries results, or even It may be even higher!

……

Sure enough, when the results of the preliminaries of this group were displayed on the big screen, Guo Zizhao also ranked first, 48 seconds!

I'm going... The audience was also taken aback for a moment, and then gave another warm applause.

Just now, Guo Zizhao's exciting surpassing in the final stage made everyone's adrenaline soar. I didn't expect that the king of sprinting could also stage such a passionate scene in the swimming pool.

48 seconds 58!What everyone didn't expect was that Guo Zizhao swam such amazing results in the preliminaries!This result is enough to squeeze into the top three of last year's World Championships!But now, this is just Guo Zizhao's preliminary results!

48 seconds 58!This result also allowed Guo Zizhao to surpass Hoganband's 48 seconds and jump to the first place in the current preliminaries.

Hiss... the king of sprinting!Even in the swimming pool is so powerful!

Even the commentator of the TV station breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed again, "48 seconds 58! Guo Zizhao actually defeated the current "world's number one flying fish" Hoganband in the preliminaries, and temporarily ranked in the preliminaries. No. [-]. This is really a result that surprised everyone!"

"Although this is just a preliminaries, it also reflects the strong strength of Guo Zizhao in this event. Now, I am also full of expectations for the semi-finals that will be held tonight. I just don't know, Hoganband knows now What kind of expression will Guo Zizhao have after this achievement?"

After seeing Guo Zizhao's results, Hoganband was shocked, but he didn't have any strange expression.After all, Hoganband had predicted such a result long ago, so he was relatively calm.

However, after Thorpe, who was about to play, heard Guo Zizhao's results this time, the expression on his face was wonderful!

……

"48 seconds 58? Damn..." Thorpe couldn't help but swear in a low voice, but the fighting spirit in his eyes instantly rose.Unexpectedly, Guo Zizhao could actually swim such a result, which was 100 seconds faster than his current best result in the 0.05-meter freestyle!
Seeing Thorpe's expression, Thorpe's coach immediately understood the other party's thoughts, and hurriedly shook his head to persuade him, "Hey, Thorpe, I know what you are thinking! But, now is not the time! Listen to me Say, you have a 200-meter freestyle final tonight, and you must first focus on this final!"

"Son, don't forget, you are the king of the 200m and 400m freestyle events. After you get these two gold medals, I have no objection to you going to compete with Guo Zizhao in the 100m. So, later For the competition, we should swim according to our original plan, save our energy, and enter the semi-finals!"

Shh... Thorpe also let out a long breath, and nodded, "Don't worry, coach. I will teach Hoganband and Phelps a lesson in the 200-meter final tonight. Hmph... …At that time, I will have two freestyle gold medals in hand. I want to see, can Guo Zizhao win two swimming gold medals this time?"

……

Soon, Guo Zizhao, who had finished the game, packed his bag amidst the applause of the audience, and while waving to everyone, he left the field easily under the leadership of the staff.

48 seconds 58, this result is about the same as what I expected. It seems that the Olympic swimming competition is nothing more than this!Hehe...Since this is the case, I can rest assured in the next game.

As soon as Guo Zizhao walked out of the arena, Shang Xiutang, Zhang Dongya and others greeted him.

"Not bad! Xiao Guo's performance just now was good! Haha..." Deputy Director Shang Xiutang also laughed happily, "If there is no accident, this result should be No.1 in the preliminaries. It is really a boost for our national team face!"

"That's right, just like Director Shang said, you gave the foreign devils a big blow in the first game!" Head coach Zhang Dongya also laughed, but then changed the subject, "But the semi-finals tonight , don’t let it go at the beginning! We were taken aback at the time! Haha..."

"Don't worry, it won't happen..." Guo Zizhao also said with a smile, "I won't be careless in the semi-finals. When the time comes, I will definitely give it my all and make sure to enter the final with the top score in the semi-finals!"

"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news! Haha..." Deputy Director Shang Xiutang also smiled and nodded, and then said, "Then I won't disturb your rest, and it will be the women's 200-meter freestyle preliminaries later. Alright, Lao Zhang and I will go over to have a look first. In the semi-finals tonight, I will come back to cheer you on..."

"it is good……"
