Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

On the sidelines, Phelps looked at his Olympic silver and bronze medals in his hands and fell into a long silence.

He understood an iron rule: as long as he competed with Peng Zhan, he would not be able to win the gold medal!

He deeply understood the Chinese saying: If there is Yu, why is there Liang?

Bob Bowman saw his sadness and consoled him: "Michael, cheer up, we still have the gold medal in the team competition!"

Phelps smiled a smile that was uglier than crying. "Coach, do you know what those people are saying about me on my blog right now?"

"Well, what do you mean?" Bauman asked puzzledly.

Phelps smiled bitterly, "They say that my gold medals were won by following my teammates, and the silver and bronze medals are my true strength!"

Bauman certainly wouldn't listen to such rumors, "No matter what those people say, you have to believe that people will always get old, and he will too."

Bauman had no choice. There are many ways to defeat an Olympic champion.

But for Peng Zhan, the only solution he could think of was to wait.

Waiting for him to grow old.

Phelps nodded and shook his head, and said in a depressed mood: "That being said, I am about the same age as him. If he gets old, I will get old too."

Bauman scratched his head, he was at a loss.

Suddenly he asked in a very low voice: "Have you taken your asthma medicine?"

Phelps, who has suffered from asthma since childhood, also whispered, "I took all the medicine as if it were my meals, but I still couldn't win."

Bauman was speechless. "Don't try too hard. If you can't beat us, think of other ways. Don't ruin your body."

Phelps shook his head and fell silent again.

Suddenly, he saw Ian Thorpe and Peng Zhan talking and laughing not far away, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind!

"Bowman, I have an idea!"

"Huh?" Bauman asked in confusion.

Phelps said he had been planning for four years: "I have a long-planned, no, immature idea."

"Well? What method?" Bauman asked.

Phelps: "If you can't beat them, then join them! I can choose to study at the Sports College of Wanhua University, then become a Hong Kong resident, join his team, and see what their secrets are!!"

Four years ago, he had the idea of ​​joining the team if he couldn't beat them, so he entered the Sports College of Wanhua University and took advantage of Peng Zhan and Peng Lan's resources.

But I didn't expect that the coach would take me to the University of Michigan.

Now four years have passed, and he feels more and more that this idea is imperative!

"Hiss~!" Bauman was shocked by his genius idea!

After thinking about it, it seems to be possible!

"But you have to think clearly, because you will be representing the Hong Kong Swimming Team in competitions in the future," Bowman asked.

Phelps' eyes lit up with hope: "Well, as long as I can improve myself and win the championship, I don't care who I represent."

"Hiss!~" Bauman didn't expect him to be so decisive!

I can only say that this method is indeed the best option at present.

"But if you join the Xiangjiang swimming team, where should I go?" Bauman scratched his head.

You should know that the coach of the Hong Kong Swimming Team is currently the world's number one swimming coach - Melinda!

With her around, there seemed to be no place for him, Bauman.

Phelps said, "It's okay. I'll go in first, and then I'll find a way to get you in, just like when you went to the University of Michigan."

Bauman scratched his head, having heard of coaches leading students.

This is the first time I heard of students bringing coaches.

Is it really feasible? He showed a look of doubt and worry.

This time, it was Phelps' turn to comfort him: "Bowman, you and I have worked together for so long. You are not only my mentor, but also my friend and my father! I will definitely not leave you! When I join his team, I will do everything I can to bring you over."

Seeing his sincerity, Bauman could only nod and agree.

He looked at the TV screen not far away which showed the image of Peng Zhan standing on the podium.

This man, who is like a god of war, won 23 gold medals this time!

Two more silver medals!

It’s so powerful that it’s terrifying!

There is also the Hong Kong delegation, a small delegation, but it won 39 gold medals and 5 silver medals!

Counting by individual region, the total medal count ranks sixth in the world!

The total number of gold medals ranks first in the world!

Horror!

Among them, Peng Zhan and Peng Lan won a total of 36 gold medals and 3 silver medals, making great contributions!

Seeing this, Bauman took a deep breath.

He understood that for Phelps, if he couldn't beat them, then joining was the best and only way out!
