Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 491
For this World Swimming Championships, Guo Zizhao is determined to win!
This is Guo Zizhao's first time participating in the World Championships in swimming. This is a system reward of 10 attribute points!Moreover, this World Championships is also related to his second phase of the task!
As long as I can successfully win the men's 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle championships this time, and break a world record by the way, my second-stage task will be considered complete.

Moreover, judging from Guo Zizhao's current strength, it can be said that it is easy to complete this task!
Especially in this year's World Swimming Championships, several of Guo Zizhao's main competitors have all played their exemption cards.

The former "Swimming Czar" Alexander Popov, the former "Short Distance King" officially announced his retirement at the beginning of this year.

And "Dutch Flying Fish" Hogenband, who was troubled by a back hernia, also chose to give up this World Championships and underwent surgery.

As for "Torpedo" Thorpe, as early as last year's Olympic Games, he announced that he would temporarily leave the swimming competition for a period of time.So far, there is no intention to return to the arena!
With the withdrawal of these world's top flying fish, in the men's short-distance freestyle event, besides Guo Zizhao, only American flying fish Phelps can be called a top superstar.

However, Phelps' main focus in the freestyle event is the 200-meter freestyle.In this World Championships, although Phelps also participated in the men's 100-meter freestyle competition, his best time this year was only 49 seconds, which is still far behind Guo Zizhao.

Therefore, Guo Zizhao’s opponents in these two events are only South African players Schumann and Netlin, Italian player Magnini, American player Rezak, and Croatian player Dragania. old rivals.

Guo Zizhao was quite confident in defeating these opponents.Hehe... If even these people can't win by themselves, then what kind of "King of Speed" will I be...

……

In the next few days, while resting, Guo Zizhao slowly made some simple adjustments and training. By the way, he also cared about the performance of the Chinese team in this World Swimming Championships.

Just like in the memory of my previous life, today's Chinese representative team still has no advantages in water polo, synchronized swimming, and open water swimming. .

However, in this year's diving team, Guo Jinjin, the "Queen of Diving", is still there, but Tian Liang, the "Prince of Diving", is no longer to be found.

At the beginning of this year, besides all kinds of gossip news about Guo Zizhao, another news that caused a sensation in the sports world was that "diving prince" Tian Liang was expelled from the national team.

The reason is also very simple. Just like her previous life, Tian Liang, who has a strong personality, is unwilling to be manipulated by the travel management center in terms of commercial endorsement, so she signed a broker contract with Emperor Company in private, and started to set up her own brokerage team with great fanfare. , not only took care of his own business activities privately, but also made preparations for entering the entertainment circle in the future.

Even in this life, Tian Liang has been influenced by Guo Zizhao's success, and she is bolder and more decisive in dealing with these matters.

It's just that the final outcome is the same as in her previous life. Tian Liang overestimated her position in the minds of the leaders of the field management center, and also underestimated the courage of Zhou Jihong, the leader of the diving team.The national diving team was just a transfer order, and Tian Liang was transferred back to the Shaanxi Provincial Swimming Team, which is also embarrassing.

Tian Liang's situation is different from Guo Zizhao's.

Guo Zizhao was originally an athlete outside the system, and had nothing to do with the tourism management center, so Guo Zizhao's commercial income tourism management center did not have the slightest idea.At the same time, due to Guo Zizhao's great reputation in the domestic and international sports circles, as well as the considerable background behind him, the tourism management center dare not have any unrealistic ideas.

However, Tian Liang is different!He was originally an athlete in the system, but now he wants to establish his own business in terms of commercial endorsement. Isn't that directly affecting the interests of the entire tourism management center?
Who can bear this?
If he is allowed to go on like this, and everyone follows suit, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Therefore, after repeated communication with no results, the tourism management center directly used thunderbolt methods to fire Tian Liang.

……

In addition to expressing his feelings about Tian Liang, Guo Zizhao also met his "old rival" Chen Zuo in China last year among the players participating in the national team's swimming competition.

After being severely educated by Guo Zizhao in last year's National Swimming Championships, the proud Chen Zuo also realized the gap between himself and the top international masters.After calming down and practicing hard for more than a year, Chen Zuo's strength has also been greatly improved.

Especially after being pointed out by Guo Zizhao that he was easily distracted unconsciously during competitions, Chen Zuo's performance in international competitions has also improved greatly.

In this year's national trials, Chen Zuo also swam a personal best of 100 seconds in the final of the 49-meter freestyle, and successfully won another ticket to the World Championships.However, in the 50-meter freestyle event, Chen Zuo's performance was still a little bit worse, and unfortunately he lost the opportunity to participate in this competition.

"Brother Guo, what do you think of my results this time? Can I make it to the semi-finals?" During the adaptive training together, Chen Zuo also looked at Guo Zizhao expectantly.

"If you can swim out of the results of the domestic trials, there is no problem in entering the semi-finals. But..." Guo Zizhao also said with a smile, "I guess if you want to enter the finals, you can't say for sure. Although there are many None of the masters participated, but in the past two years, the overall level of international swimming has improved rapidly!"

"Hmm..." Chen Zuo also nodded depressedly, "It seems that my progress is still not enough!"

"Hehe...it's okay, you are only 23 years old this year, you still have room for improvement! But you have to hurry up, in the future, if you want to enter the finals, don't even think about the results within 49 seconds!" Guo Zizhao then encouraged the other party, "So, keep working hard!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Zizhao jumped into the swimming pool and swam happily.

Seeing Guo Zizhao's terrifying speed in the water, Chen Zuo couldn't help sighing again.Brother Guo's strength seems to be a level higher than last year, I'm really envious!I thought that my strength had improved a lot, and I could get closer to Guo Ge, but I didn't expect that the gap is getting bigger and bigger...

……

Chen Zuo's feeling is not wrong, Guo Zizhao's current swimming ability is basically about to reach the peak of his ability.

Technically speaking, Guo Zizhao increased the "skill" attribute to 91 points after the Olympics, and now he is able to display "advanced freestyle skills".The improvement in swimming skills alone can shorten Guo Zizhao's time by at least 0.3 seconds.

With the acquisition of the "Glamourous Turn" skill, Guo Zizhao's last weakness in the 100-meter freestyle event has also become another signature strength of Guo Zizhao!At least it is also an improvement of 0.5 seconds, which makes Guo Zizhao's strength a big step forward.

In addition, after the Short Pool Swimming World Championships at the end of last year, Guo Zizhao raised the "jumping" attribute to 81 points. The improvement of this attribute can directly improve the two skills of "shocking leap" and "magnificent turn" grades.

In this way, Guo Zizhao's overall strength in the men's 100-meter freestyle event has improved by about 1 second compared to when he was in the Athens Olympics!

Hehe... When Guo Zizhao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel complacent.In this World Swimming Championships, even if I don't use any equipment, I can easily break the world records of the two competitions!

Haha... This time the system rewards and system tasks, I can easily grasp it!
