Swimmer of Rebirth

At 12:30, the morning game ends.

Liu Yang was carried by Yao Ye to check the list of finalists.

A bunch of referees were sitting in a small room eating bento and discussing some topics in the game. Surprisingly, Liu Yang saw Luo Xinhua in the room. He was sitting with the chief referee of this game. talking loudly.

As usual, Luo Xinhua would hook his fingers when he saw someone, and Yao Ye and Liu Yang hurried up.

He stood up and introduced, "Yao Ye, this is your Uncle Ye."

"Uncle Ye." Yao Ye stood up straight and called out respectfully.

Liu Yang looked at the head referee who was full of energy and had a beard on his upper lip, thought about it for a while, and then greeted him in a low voice.

Ye Li chuckled, and patted Yao Ye's shoulder twice, "Okay, Yao Ye, it's not bad, not bad, do your best in this Asian Games, and bring back a gold medal for your uncle."

Yao Ye grinned embarrassingly, "I don't know if there is one on the list this time."

Ye Li's eyes widened, his beard curled up, "What are you worried about? I don't have ambitions. I know that. Last time you won the silver medal for your country in the World Championships held in Australia. If I went to Hiroshima this time without you, I would be old." Ye is the first to make trouble."

Liu Yang's eyes widened in a flash, the silver medal in the World Swimming Championships, the silver medal in the World Championships, the silver medal, the silver medal... the small white sparkling sign began to dangle in his head non-stop.

I don't know what to say here, the topic finally turned to Liu Yang.

Ye Li looked Liu Yang carefully, and said to Luo Xinhua, "Is this the kid you're talking about?"

Luo Xinhua nodded.

"You seem quite young, 12 years old..." Ye Li frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "That's fine, just as you said, we will compete for a place before the final."

Seeing Liu Yang's puzzled face, Luo Xinhua explained, "Go back and have a good rest. There is another game tomorrow afternoon. Don't run around." Looking at himself, Luo Xinhua smiled and patted him on the head, "Let's put it this way, you are very close to the last place expected to participate in the finals, only 0.01 seconds less, I was discussing this with Referee Ye just now After comparing the real-time records of the two timekeepers, I think it is necessary to compete again."

The small sparkling sign disappeared without a trace. Liu Yang's eyes lit up, and his blood boiled immediately. He couldn't speak. He wanted to hold Luo Xinhua's hand and shake it fiercely, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt. His excited hands and feet didn't know it. No matter how I let it go, I can only keep bending over to thank you.

Luo Xinhua and Ye Li looked at each other, and then drove them away with a big smile.

后来刘阳才知道，他的两个即时记录是58’08和58’10，取的中间值为58'09，与他争抢名额的选手即时记录分别是58’06和58'11，取的中间值为58'08。

Normally, Liu Yang would miss the final due to the gap of 0.01 seconds, but Luo Xinhua took advantage of the gap between his opponents to make a big fuss, coupled with a little bit of closeness, and finally helped him snatch the gap. Tickets for the second final.

From then on, Liu Yang's trust in Luo Xinhua reached its peak almost instantly. Mou Yang, who is actually 32 years old, was so moved that he hugged Uncle Luo's thigh and shouted sincerely, Uncle~~~

cough! cough!

This is another story, we will continue to pay attention to Yangyang's game history.

Coming out of the referee lounge, Yao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, "Don't worry?"

Liu Yang nodded, the unexpected surprise made him smile.

Yao Ye pinched his face and said, "You're so stupid."

In fact, it is already surprising that a 12-year-old child has the opportunity to be selected for the men's group B 100-meter freestyle final. The coaches who led the team smiled kindly when they saw Liu Yang. A little childish expression.

Faced with these obscene smiles of the uncle level, Liu Yang smiled even brighter, and a voice kept jumping in his heart, saying, see?did you see?The coach of the provincial team has paid attention to me, maybe I can enter the provincial team after the game.

Indeed, regarding Liu Yang's unexpected outstanding performance, several coaches held a small meeting. Liu Yang's name has been drawn in a circle with a blue pen. There is no doubt that he will join the provincial team. The coaches are well assigned internally.

Luo Xinhua smoked a cigarette, but did not speak from the beginning to the end.

A coach asked him about his intentions.

He replied, waiting and watching.

Everyone sighed, the threshold was indeed high enough.

Because there was no game in the afternoon, Liu Yang was anxious about the water sensation, so he took Yao Ye to the hotel after asking for leave.

Yao Ye took out the money, and Liu Yang enjoyed it swaggeringly.

During the sauna, the two sat facing each other, with a small towel around their waists and a wet handkerchief covering their mouths.

It was foggy inside, and no one spoke, and occasionally glanced away and then quickly moved away.

Here, Liu Yang muttered in his heart, tsk tsk, look at this figure, look at this muscle, look at this healthy skin glistening with water droplets.

Over there, Young Master Yao admired in his heart, tsk tsk, look at this face, look at this small waist, look at this steamed pink and tender skin.

Of course, the thoughts in this heart are a secret, and no one will tell them out. The ten minutes of sauna just made each other see through.

Because it is not a professional swimming pool, the shape of the pool is irregular, and you can step on the bottom of the water in the deep and shallow areas. After the sauna, Liu Yang and Yao Ye did not deliberately look for a place, and directly chose a nearby place to enter the water. After all Compared with the small pool with massage next to it, this pool has so few people that it is a bit pitiful.

A few couples were flirting with each other in the shallow water area, and the swimming circle was floating beside, splashing water everywhere.

Yao Ye and Liu Yang walked away a few meters at the same time.

Liu Yang said as he walked, "Thank you."

"Thank you?" Master Yao raised his brows, his face full of doubts.

"I told you to come out to practice and you came out with me and gave me money." After saying this, Liu Yang felt like a woman again, and his face was a little stiff when he smiled.

"Oh." Yao Ye suddenly realized, "I didn't even think about it until you said it, so I was pulled to be taken advantage of."

Liu Yang laughed immediately, "It's worth it, I'll come back to you when I have money, and I'll find you two beauties for massage."

Yao Ye smiled strangely, wrapped his arm around Liu Yang's neck and pulled it to his chest, "Hey." He looked down at the top of his forehead, "Are you hot?"

Liu Yang raised his head to look at him fiercely, and said angrily, "Yeah, I'm springing up, and I, Liu Yang, have a beard and Adam's apple, and I'm a man now, what's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Yang would answer like this, Yao Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed in a muffled voice, his chest trembling slightly from the shock.

It was the first time for the two of them to be so close, hugging almost naked, the tight skin squeezed the water away and conveyed each other's body temperature.

With every slight movement, you can clearly feel where the touched skin is separated and where it overlaps, especially when Yao Ye's chest vibrates, it's like two people being carried by water waves, tearing apart the skin again and again and sticking together again. .

Weird ambiguity.

Both were stunned.

Liu Yang smiled awkwardly and took a step back.

Yao Ye coughed, leaned against the pool, put his hands on it, and said lazily, "Okay, man, may I ask why this man brought me here today?"

With a beating expression and a beating tone, Liu Yang squinted at him, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and buried them in the water.

When he got up again, he had already swam out.

He swims very slowly, seems to be regulating his movements, and seems to be looking for something.

Yao Ye looked at it for a while, got up the water and rested on the beach chair by the pool.

Those who learn to swim, especially those like him who have learned to swim for more than ten years, will have a feeling of disgust for the water itself, not that he really hates it, but that most of the time in the water will be boring because of training And tiredness, subconsciously, the human brain will reject this kind of place, so Yao Ye rarely goes to the water for entertainment unless necessary, he prefers to go outside to play football and basketball than soaking in the water.

It is precisely because of this deeply experienced subconsciousness of repelling water that Yao Ye is curious about Liu Yang. In his observation, if possible, Liu Yang almost hopes that he can be in the water for 24 hours, but he attributes it to The desire for excellent results is not always the case. Liu Yang's expression and attitude all tell others that he loves water, training, and swimming.

Thinking of this, Yao Ye sighed and praised infinitely, he is really a good boy with ideals and goals.

What is Liu Yang doing in the water?Nature is looking for a sense of water.

He recalled what Yao Ye said, let the body relax, rely on small body movements to prevent himself from sinking, slowly slide his arms under the water, feel the flow of water with his skin, occasionally push straight from the head to the back, and occasionally use the S Type route, repeated again and again.

There was someone swimming in front of him, and the rampage didn't seem to find a way to slant to a foreign country. Seeing that the person was about to hit him, Liu Yang hurriedly got up and moved out of the way.

That man is like a tank, rumbling, with an indomitable momentum, flying all the way to the sky, the movement seems to be passable, full of strength, but Liu Yang feels that he is thumping, thumping and tired Worrying again.

The tank man touched the shore, clutching the edge of the pool and gasping for breath, looking exhausted.

Liu Yang suddenly grabbed something at this moment.

He lowered his head and imitated the tank man and stroked the water fiercely, kicking his feet high, and his arms stroked straight and powerfully.

Swimming to the shore, he turned around immediately, and his posture changed suddenly. The cross-kicking feet were driven by the thighs, whipping the water like a whip, one after another, full of flexibility and strength. The air bubbles under the feet bulged but did not burst, like Boiling water, while the arms extend infinitely in front of the head, imagine that when you swim up high, like dancing ballet, infinitely extend, then hook your wrist lightly, take a handful of water in an S-shaped route , cleverly avoiding the resistance in the water, the whole person was easily taken out.

Liu Yang swam to the shore and laughed.

Yao Ye looked up at him, and said in a neutral tone, "Where's the convulsion?"

It was good that Yao Ye didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Liu Yang was ignited. With a stretch of his arms, he jumped out of the water with a slip of water, and jumped on Yao Ye's body, straddled him, and pinched his waist with both hands. Neck, gritted teeth and growled, "Relax? Huh? Relax, right? You look at me struggling with the feeling of water and laugh happily, right?"

Yao Ye suppressed a smile and pointed to his neck.

"Don't let it go!" Liu Yang exerted more force on his hand, "Are you just kidding me? Ah? Isn't it? Shit, this thing has been practicing since I learned to swim. Practice, still relax, you can lie to me."

Yao Ye raised three fingers in a serious manner.

Liu Yang stared at him for a while, seeing the bloodshot eyes spreading from the enamel-like eyeballs, he finally let go.

As soon as his neck was free, Yao Ye coughed and laughed, "I said, please, how did I lie to you? Can you tell me about the feeling of water? Besides, what are we learning to swim for? Physical strength, strength, Endurance, technique, right? What is technique? It is for you to find the feeling of water. Tell me, do you feel the feeling of water passing over your arms during practice? Have you ever felt the smoothness of your body in water? ?"

"Then you can't let me hold my knees to practice buoyancy!" Liu Yang continued to stare.

"Did I tell you to practice buoyancy? I told you to relax." Yao Ye stood up, pushed Liu Yang away from his body, watched him stand up, stepped over his body with one leg, and then continued, "The feeling of water It’s not clear at first, you have to use your body to experience it, how do you experience it? First feel it when you are relaxing, and then continue to integrate into your body during training before you can use it in the competition. Familiar with this feeling, and be able to use it in the competition The perfect performance under the pressure of the game is the best state."

Liu Yang sat down on the beach chair next to him, and continued to stare at him with red eyes, "Then you can't say that earlier?"

"You said..." Yao Ye also sat up and looked at him face to face, "Do you think you understand now? It is more useful to experience with your own body than I say ten thousand times. I still remember when I was a child. Has anything happened to you? Your body remembers how to paddle and how to move forward in the water, but has it entered your heart? No, otherwise why are you so anxious during the game? No matter what, no matter what, fight hard Is it the strength in his body?" At this point, he paused and looked deeply at Liu Yang, "Then tell me now, do you understand? Do you remember?"

Liu Yang stared at him for a while, then let out a long breath, and his whole body suddenly became listless, "Sure enough, there is no such cheap thing in the world, reaching the sky in one step? Hey, I still have to practice non-stop." Feeling What Liu Yang said was extremely sensational, with a taste of literary youth.

Yao Ye looked at him, smiled a little softly, the black eyeballs in his eyes were constantly changing luster reflected by the water in the pool, he said: "You are fine, really, no one wakes you up, and you found a breakthrough in the game , You stumbled all the way here, but you still found the real answer, really, you are better than anyone else."

Liu Yang raised his eyelids to look at him, and the resentment in his stomach subsided a lot. In retrospect, he understood why Yao Ye didn't tell him directly. Want to be clear, but the same, Yao Ye does not understand his true thoughts, does not understand his desire to become stronger, to catch up with this person, to be strong enough to stand at the highest point in Chinese swimming, to be able to compete with this person Eye-level height.

This person is his target, and the distance between them is still far away, so he can't wait to be recognized. If, if he can, he hopes to directly enter the national team, and he can directly stand at the closest distance to chase.

Of course, these are just extravagant hopes, but the desire to do something and to make progress is real.

The 100-meter free final will be held in two days. These two days, Liu Yang and Yao Ye have become regular guests of this hotel. Occasionally, Yao Ye will accompany Liu Yang to swim for a while after taking a sauna, but most of the time he is in the hotel. Lying on a beach chair.

Liu Yang would tease Yao Ye about getting fatter as he lay down, and Master Yao would squint his eyes and say, "Master, my body is just like this, and I won't get fat even if I lie down."

But everyone knew that this kind of simple rest days were numbered. The date of Yao Ye's return to the national team had already entered the countdown. During those days of active preparations, this way of life was nothing but a luxury.

After the official competition ended in the afternoon of the second day, Liu Yang had a one-on-one match with a 14-year-old player from Guangxi. I don’t know if the child was too nervous and behaved abnormally, or Liu Yang found the sense of water. , easily won the 100-meter free final ticket.

In the evening, the children in room 301 had a celebration party, celebrating Liu Yang and Ye Shuwen's 100-meter butterfly successfully entering the final.

It is also an interesting thing to say, there were 20 or so people participating in the Youth Games in the school, and only two entered the finals, both of which were in Room 301, so that Wang Yaxin and Li Yipeng felt honored even though they were disappointed.

Ye Shuwen is the leader of their group of swimming school players. His sense of water seems to come from innate, and his performance is very good, especially the butterfly stroke is almost envied by everyone, while Liu Yang is a late-stage prominence. He was not in the upper middle class. But in a short period of time, he reached the qualification to be on an equal footing with Ye Shuwen.

Lying on the bed at night, the two of them chatted one after another.

The room with the lights off wasn't too dark, and the light outside the window shone in, so you could see the other party's posture lying on the bed.

Ye Shuwen lay flat on the bed, put his hands on his neck, and asked Liu Yang in a low voice, "Are you nervous?"

Liu Yang stared at a crack in the dim light on the ceiling and replied, "It's okay, how about you?"

"Nervous." Ye Shuwen replied honestly.

Liu Yang grinned silently. In fact, when he thought of the finals he was about to participate in, he panicked, but he refused to admit it. Suddenly, he was a little envious of children of this age, who were always so honest with the people he liked.

"Then...are you happy?" Ye Shuwen asked him again.

"Of course." Liu Yang answered crisply and excitedly.

Thousands of teenagers out of tens of thousands are learning to swim, only a few hundred out of thousands can participate in the competition, and only 8 out of hundreds can get this spot, enter the finals, and decide No.1 among [-] people.

What an exciting thing, as long as he imagines it this way, Liu Yang feels like his blood is going to burn, turning his whole body into fireworks that soar into the sky, blooming brightly amidst the roar.

So, in the impatient anticipation, Liu Yang finally ushered in the climax of the Youth Games.

The day of the finals.
