[Competition] The Road to Champion of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace

The third swimmer in the U.S. team is named Wayne Brown. He is 20 years old this year. His brother, who was also a member of the U.S. swimming team, is named Kevin Brown. He won the Olympic champion in the 100-meter butterfly seven years ago. , now 28 years old, but still active in the world swimming.

The two brothers joined the U.S. national team successively, and they are both the main event of the 100-meter butterfly, but the other event of the older brother Kevin is the 50-meter butterfly, and the younger brother Wayne is the 200-meter butterfly.

The two brothers probably decided that they only compete in the 100-meter butterfly. The younger Wayne Brown will also take on the important task of winning gold medals in the 200-meter butterfly and 200-meter medley for the US team next year.

He and Fan Yuhao are similar in strength. In individual events, the difference is less than 0.1 seconds, and Fan Yuhao narrowly wins.

When it came to the relay event, the two were evenly matched. The US team had an advantage in the backstroke. Wayne just needs to withstand the pressure and keep the advantage.

When the last baton was handed over, Fan Yuhao recovered a little bit, but still failed to overtake the US team.

Ao Ling even glanced to the side before handing over the baton. The last freestyle swimmer for the US team was Davis.

If it's Evans, he may not be fully sure of overtaking the US team, but Adrian Davis, although he is considered a world-class athlete in this event, is no longer the Olympic champion seven years ago.

Ao Ling observed him and found that for some reason, the American Flying Fish's condition had declined a lot this year, especially in the final sprint, he was not as good as his compatriot Eden Evans.

Davis' current situation is indeed not very good. The United States is the world's largest swimming power. They have many professional swimming clubs in the country, as well as various competitions with a very complete system.

Both in terms of technical content and high-tech applications are far ahead of other countries.

And their athletes have a long career life. Other countries may retire at the age of 27 or 30. They have athletes who are still training and participating in competitions even in their [-]s.

Whether it is the World Championships or the Olympics, they can at least guarantee that two or more players will get the A standard, and even because there are too many people who have reached the standard, but the number of places is limited, and the involution is serious, it is not uncommon for the brothers to compete for a qualification , In order to be able to participate in international competitions, there are many people who use their brains elsewhere.

It is also an open secret that I suffered from asthma since childhood, long-term high-intensity training caused heart disease, and obtained exemption from prohibited drugs from the World Anti-Doping Organization.

Although other national teams and athletes privately expressed their anger about this, but it is the US team, the superpower in world swimming, and the son of FINA, so it is useless to say anything.

Under such fierce competition, Davis is also under tremendous pressure. It is already very difficult for him to qualify for individual events. Maybe he will only be able to participate in a relay race in the next competition. In the future, it is possible He didn't have a part in the connection race either.

Therefore, even in a game like Pantai, he will do his best.

In the last shot, the American team still led by 0.3 seconds. In the short-distance event, this is already a great advantage. As long as he keeps this advantage, he can win a gold medal.

When he saw Ao Ling, he was still a little disappointed. In his heart, Fu Xingtu was always the one who could fight him, and no one else was worthy.

Ao Ling and him looked down on each other, and the real contest was in the swimming pool.

50 meters ahead, Davis is still in the lead, and Ao Ling is chasing after him. There is an age difference of eight years between the two. Davis looks like a very mature swimmer, and Ao Ling is about to step into the The pinnacle of his career.

When it was time to turn around, Ao Ling thought he could surpass Davis, but when he turned around, the opponent was still in front of him, and the distance between the two of them hadn't narrowed at all.

In the stands, Fu Xingtu was also a little surprised when he saw the result. The time difference between Ao Ling and Davis not only did not shrink, but also increased by 0.06 seconds. In other words, Davis was even faster than Ao Ling in the first 50 meters. swim faster.

And this speed is close to the limit, isn't Davis planning to do it 50 meters behind?

Although Ao Ling, who was in the game, was surprised to see that Davis was still ahead of him after he passed the application.

But this did not disrupt his rhythm, he has been in accordance with his own habits, when to speed up, when to sprint right.

At the last 25 meters, all the teams rushed for the last shot, only Davis, he couldn't move, and his speed decreased visible to the naked eye. Ao Ling had already surpassed him in the last 15 meters, and at the edge He couldn't withstand the pressure all the time, but was overtaken by the Japanese player behind!

The U.S. team never imagined that they maintained a huge advantage in the first 350 meters. In the last 25 meters, the experienced veteran Davis completely collapsed and couldn't get up in the water at all.

Some people said that he had a problem with his strategy. He rushed too hard for the first 50 meters and was too confident in his physical fitness, which caused him to fall from first to third in the last 50 meters.

Fan Yuhao pulled Ao Ling up from the bank: "It's amazing, I knew you could chase it back."

Ao Ling smiled: "If it's Evans, I'm not sure, I think he's pretty strong."

"Really?" Fan Yuhao scratched his hair, "I didn't feel it, I think he didn't perform well in any international competitions."

Ao Ling is not clear about this question. The situation in the arena has changed dramatically. Before the start of the competition, who can say for sure whether you will win the first place or not even make it to the final.

Ao Ling knew that he was a fool, and he didn't pay much attention to freestyle, so he turned his head and looked at Qi Yi: "Davis didn't have any good results in swimming this year, not even a top ten in the world. He didn't do well in the next few games."

Qi Yi touched his head: "Awesome, grown up."

He has indeed grown up, he is no longer the idiot who knew nothing more than two years ago and just kept his head down and rushed forward, now he knows how to observe and analyze his opponents.

The Pan Pacific Swimming Championships are all over here, and everyone has their own gains.Because Fu Xingtu did not win the gold medal in the individual competition, he was ridiculed in a small circle again.

He himself doesn't care at all, Ao Ling is also thinking about it, there is only one champion, and one of them will never win the championship. Those who hate them on the Internet always have something to say, so let them say it .

The half-year intensive competition is finally over, and then you can take a good rest and relax.

When the group returned to the provincial capital of province C, Shen Xingguo gave the five of them a day off and asked them to go home and have a good rest. The next step was to prepare for the National Games and then the Olympics next year.

Ao Ling must first go back to City A, because Wu Juan gave birth.

He was going to buy the high-speed rail ticket that night, but he looked at the time, but it was too late. He also wanted to buy a gift for the little baby he had never met.

Fu Xingtu had nothing to do anyway, so he offered to accompany him to buy gifts first, and then go home.

Ao Ling has never bought gifts for anyone, let alone a newborn baby, so she doesn't know what to buy.

Fu Xingtu didn't understand either, so he took out his mobile phone and searched online. The baby bottles, clothes, and stroller all looked ordinary. The couple must have prepared for the child long ago.

The two wandered from the first floor to the fifth floor, during which time they went to the Lego store for half an hour. Fu Xingtu saw a set of Porsche 911 and wanted Ao Ling to give it to him. Ao Ling bought it without saying a word.

Looking back, he saw that there was a suit for Manchester United's home stadium at Old Trafford. Ao Ling knew that Qi Yi liked Manchester United, so he also bought it and prepared to take it back as a gift to his senior brother.

When she came out, Ao Ling saw the snack shop next to her. It looked bigger than a Lego store, and there were many snacks that Ao Ling liked.

Fu Xingtu pushed him to go out: "When you go home, you can't bring a big bag of snacks back."

Ao Ling said: "It doesn't matter, I can eat them all on the way."

In the past few months in the national team, the child didn't eat any snacks except three meals a day. Fu Xingtu picked out a few things he could eat and bought some.

The two of them carried a lot of things in their hands, but none of them could be taken home for the baby.

In the end, Ao Ling saw a very delicate longevity lock in the window of a gold shop, and she liked it very much at first glance. She also fell in love with a bracelet by the way, and bought it together as a gift for Wu Juan.

Wu Juan has moved to live with Luo Zhiyong since she got married. Now that the child is born, she is a little girl. Although she is not yet full moon, she can vaguely see that she looks quite similar to Wu Juan. She must be a beautiful woman when she grows up. .

When Ao Ling returned, it happened that Luo Zhiyong's daughter who was in college had also returned for the summer vacation. She was a very simple and enthusiastic young lady. After Ao Ling and the others came, they were busy serving tea and cutting fruits, and then sat quietly by the side. Chat with them.

Seeing a room full of people, Ao Ling became even more cautious.I felt that what Fu Xingtu said to him before was true. After Wu Juan got married, she and others became a family. He didn't come back often, and the time he spent with them was only a few days throughout the year. Isn't he just an outsider?

But it doesn't matter, keeping a certain distance to get along makes Ao Ling feel very comfortable.

It can be seen that Luo Zhiyong treats Wu Juan very well. Although he already has an older daughter, he is not disappointed by the arrival of the younger daughter. Instead, he is very happy. To tidy up Ao Ling's room, let Fu Xingtu also stay, make do with Ao Ling, and tomorrow he will go shopping and cook.

The moment Ao Ling entered the door, he didn't think about staying, let alone let Fu Xingtu stay with him. He was about to refuse, but he didn't know that the person next to him spoke first.

"Don't bother, our vacation is only for these two days, and there will be training after that, so we are going to go back."

Fu Xingtu knew what was going on in Ao Ling's heart when he saw Ao Ling's expression on the child he had been raising every day for two years, so when he was struggling and didn't know how to refuse, he spoke first.

Wu Juan took Ao Ling's hand: "I haven't been home for more than half a year. I finally came back. Are you going to leave after a while?"

Luo Zhiyong added: "If you feel that it is inconvenient at home, I will give you a room in a nearby hotel."

Ao Ling quickly waved his hand: "No, no, don't bother, I just came back to see you, and there will be games after that, I have to return to the team as soon as possible."

He took out the gifts for Wu Juan and the little sister, and cleverly passed the bracelet given to Wu Juan to the little sister: "A small gift, just as a meeting gift."

The other party was surprised. He didn't expect that he still had a gift. After seeing the bracelet, he immediately pushed it back: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Ao Ling said: "It's not expensive, just accept it with some kindness."

Wu Juan also said at the side: "We are a family, you are welcome, just accept it."

The girl thought for a while, ran back to her room, and took out a box, which contained a metal bookmark. Although it was obvious at first glance that it was a souvenir of a tourist attraction, it was not difficult to see that it was carefully selected, with a complicated hollow caisson. The pattern looks very delicate.

He gave the bookmark to Ao Ling as a gift in return. Although the gift was very light, Ao Ling had a good impression of this young lady.

On the way back, Fu Xingtu asked him: "Why did you suddenly decide to give the gift you gave to your mother to that girl?"

Ao Ling smiled: "I think they are very nice people, and they treat my mother sincerely. At that time, I thought, the first time we met, I bought gifts for my mother and sister, but ignored them. It's not very good, anyway. I want to buy something for my mom, and I can buy it anytime."

Fu Xingtu glanced at him, unexpectedly, the heartless kid now understands the ways of the world.

After a while, Ao Ling said again: "I think what you said is right. They are married and have children. Although they don't regard me as an outsider, I feel like an outsider when I sit there."

Hearing this, Fu Xingtu's heart trembled: "I just said that casually at that time. You also said that they are very good people, and your mother has also found a good place to belong. Don't think so, don't be affected by my words. .”

Ao Ling suddenly looked at him with scrutiny: "Why did you say that at that time?"

"Because I was a very selfish child when I was young, and I had a lot of eyes."

Fu Xingtu twitched the corner of his mouth.Showing a wry smile of self-blame: "Like you, my dad also left very early. He was a policeman and died while carrying out his mission. So I am a little luckier than you. Since childhood, his colleagues and leaders have always been It's all about me and my mom."

"I came to the sports school to practice swimming when I was very young, so I have always been very independent. When I was ten years old, my mother had a boyfriend who was very kind to her and wanted to marry her. She came to ask for My opinion."

"At that time, there were many children of divorced parents in the sports school. They obviously lived in this city, but they could only go back during the winter and summer vacations. I can only go back once during the summer vacation.”

"Actually, I don't care if I go home once during winter and summer vacations, but I hate the feeling of being abandoned. I think if my mother marries someone else and has a child, I will become an outsider."

Ao Ling met Fu Xingtu's mother twice, and Tang Xueya was a completely different type of woman from Wu Juan.She looks intellectual and capable, and she is an aunt who doesn't feel very easy to get along with.

"What happened next?" Ao Ling asked.

"Later, under my firm opposition, my mother made it clear to others that she never thought of remarrying again."

"Later, this matter was left behind by me until I was lying in the intensive care unit. At that time, I thought, my mother has devoted most of her life to me. What if I die? What if I didn't object If she remarries, maybe I will have a younger brother or younger sister who will stay by her side after I leave and support her so that she won't be too sad."

"..."

Ao Ling suddenly didn't know what to say, but he felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to hear Fu Xingtu say words like "death" or "leave".

He buried his head in his pocket and found a box of chocolates he bought during the day, tore open the package and picked the biggest one and stuffed it into Fu Xingtu's mouth: "Be nicer to her in the future."

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when the two of them returned to the provincial capital. Fu Xingtu entered the urban area and drove home directly. On the way, he also asked Ao Ling's opinion very democratically: "Are you staying at my house tonight, or sleeping on the street?"

Ao Ling said, "I'm going to Senior Brother Qi Yi's house."

"There is no such option."

"..."
