cut the waves

The first match of the No. 1 Swimming Team is scheduled for the beginning of January of the following year - the "Challenge Cup" National Swimming Championships in Yan Province.In this competition, students who enter the top three at the provincial level in any single event are eligible to participate in the "Challenge Cup" national competition in the summer of the following year. [[-]]

Zhang Yanming sent out a copy of the competition regulations and registration form.She pulled a whiteboard and gave a general introduction to the specific competition rules and precautions: "Each student can sign up for two individual events at most, and can also apply for the relay, but each event can only have two people from one school. Discuss it yourself. Who signs up for what, try to avoid competition within the team."

Yu Yu felt that if Yan was said to be "Yan Luo with jade face", then Teacher Zhang was "Bodhisattva descending to earth".Zhang Yanming always smiled cheerfully, saying that our team participated in the competition for the first time, the result is not important, the important thing is to actively participate.

The friends of the swimming team were full of fighting spirit, sitting together, determined to destroy the prestige of the basketball team.

"Brother Fen, Brother Liao and Brother Yu, it's safe to enter the whole country, right?" Liu Jiaqi snapped her fingers, "Kaijie, Brother Hao and Rabbit should also try their best. Their basketball team can only get the provincial first place." Once you can enter the country, it is basically useless."

"Actually, it's useless for us to enter alone." Xu Yufeng frowned, "The two gods fight, and there are too many individual prizes in the country. At most, we hang 'star students' at the school gate for a week. We have to win prizes as a group. Only in this way can the basketball team be commended at the flag-raising ceremony."

"The group award may be more difficult." Mao Kaijie said hesitantly, pointing to the score list in the competition regulations, "As long as you enter the top eight in any individual event, you can get group points. One No.4, and one No.5 If you add up the points, you will catch up with one champion. We have only four men and women, and those more mature teams may have eight men and eight women. At this stage, we are at a disadvantage in terms of group points."

"What do you mean four men and four men?" Wang Pengpeng raised his head, dissatisfied, "Do you dare to love you fat man, am I neither male nor female?"

Mao Kaijie: "...Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Wang Pengpeng shook the charter in his hand: "May I ask if there is any rule on it that I am not eligible to participate?"

Everyone took a closer look and found that there was really no one.In the qualifying competition, as long as they are registered students in regular schools, they are eligible to participate.Xu Yufeng pushed Wang Pengpeng and scolded with a smile: "Then including you, our group points are still not enough!"

Yu Yu thought for a while and said: "If you can enter the top three in the relay, it means that the team event has entered the national competition."

"The relay is also difficult." Su Liao said, "You haven't participated in the first group of the Challenge Cup before. I have participated in the early years of Yufeng and I have met the same players. In Guangninggang, there are only those who are good swimmers. Eighteen and Kai Tak experiments, not to mention other cities in the province, such as Xinshuiyi, some team relays are at the national level per capita, which is relatively difficult.”

Hearing the words "level one per capita", everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and fell silent again.

Discussions come and go, the men's freestyle 4*100m is still the team event they are most likely to enter the national competition.Yu Yu moved part of the training to the morning, setting aside an hour every afternoon to cooperate with his classmates in the relay.

Within a few days, Yu Yu received several messages from Yan Zheng——

-Little ghost, circle the book, come to the provincial team competition on January 1th

- I got you a place for the youth reserve team's winter training provincial trials

- You can try the swimming pool 1500m

It's impossible not to be moved.

However, on the weekend of January 1th and 6th, it was the Provincial Challenge Cup. His personal events were mostly on the 7th, but the men's 6*4m relay was on the 100th.

As soon as Yu Yu hesitated, he didn't reply to the message. Yan Zheng called.

"Originally, this selection training was only open to professional athletes from sports schools. I have worked so hard to win a place for you trainees to compete together. You can just feel what it's like to compete with professional athletes. Where is the gap between me?" Yan Zheng persuaded earnestly, "Isn't it just a fish pond relay? Just find a classmate to replace it?"

Yu Yu sighed: "But in our school's swimming team, there are only four men in the men's team."

"Then why are you still fighting! You said that there are four of you in total, and it is impossible for the per capita champion to win any team awards, so why do you want to relay?!"

Yu Yu: "..."

"Also, that Cheng Zhefan has confirmed to participate, don't you always want to compete with him again?"

Yu Yu: "..."

"Why don't you stinky brat talk anymore?" Yan Zheng sighed, "What, I won't force you. Think about it yourself, and give me an answer before the 25th at the latest, huh?"

Yu Yu: "OK."

He pressed to end the call, feeling a little confused.

Yu Yu's appetite has increased a lot recently. During EN1's training period, he was always very hungry, the kind of hunger that made his eyes glow green when he saw something to eat.He often began to crave food from the big class break in the morning, and sat in two classes eagerly, waiting for the get out of class bell at 11:55 in the morning.

Some dishes in the second canteen are more popular, such as crispy salted chicken, big braised chicken drumsticks, happy potatoes, cumin chicken chops, etc. If you go late, they will be sold out at the window.Students who arrive early can make a few extra copies, but when the queue gets long, the auntie will have one copy for each person.

It's a pity that there are no rules to follow in the daily food supply in the cafeteria.Every day before meals, the cafeteria will write today's menu on the small blackboard at the entrance.Class [-] is on the second floor, with a unique location, the students in the first two rows can see the small blackboard through the window.

In order to prevent puppy love, the school has one table per person.However, the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. The separated seats do not affect the exchange of feelings between the students, or what to eat in the cafeteria today.

In the last class in the morning, the physics teacher just turned around and drew a picture on the blackboard, and Yu Yu felt that someone had slapped him on the back.The physics teacher turned around, and Yu Yu "scratched" his back calmly, and tore off a small post-it note from the school uniform, with a big chicken leg drawn on it.

Yu, who was drowsy, suddenly trembled.

He quickly ticked off the post-it note and passed it to the back table.

Ticking means the "old rules" - run to the cafeteria first, the loser buys the winner to eat chicken legs - as soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Su Liao and Yu Yu rushed out first.The sound of footsteps up and down the teaching building behind him sounded like a Serengeti wildebeest crossing a river.

Yu Yu was the first to rush downstairs, but as soon as he ran out, he ran straight into a big back head that was shiny and shiny.

Last week, a high school student fell on the stairs to the cafeteria on February [-], broke his forehead and was sent to the hospital for three stitches. At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday this week, Director Geng emphasized again that "two meals, three nos" Principles - no running and collision, no loud noise, no wasting of food, orderly meals between grades".Therefore, Director Geng is wearing a red armband today, and is standing at the entrance of the cafeteria with his arms folded, "waiting for the rabbit".

"It's you again! From class seven, I'll remember you this time!" Director Geng caught Yu Yu right this time, "Why are you running so fast? What if you fall? What if you bump into a classmate?"

"My speech on Monday was for nothing, didn't I? How many times have I emphasized that there is a queue for lunch - order - go downstairs."

Su Liao slammed on the brakes behind Yu Yu, and his pace became a brisk walk again.He stared ahead, trying to walk past the two of them as if nothing happened.Unexpectedly, Director Geng raised his arm and stopped him: "And you are also in a hurry to go to the cafeteria, right?"

"Report to Director Geng, I'm not going to the cafeteria!" Su Liao stood at attention with a "snap" and straightened his body, "Ms. Chen is looking for me, saying it's about a competition." He pointed in the opposite direction of the cafeteria: "I'm going to the office!"

Director Geng narrowed his eyes: "Really go to the office?"

Su Liao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Good students naturally have more privileges in the teacher's heart, Director Geng just gave him an angry look, waved his hand, and let him go.

Before turning around, Su Liao gave Yu Yu a wink on purpose.

Yu Yu stared at him in disbelief: "..." If eyes could kill, Su's forehead might have been drilled with two laser holes.

Who is this?

Is that human being?

What kind of blindness was he before, and he mistakenly thought that Su Liao was an obedient student?

Afterwards, Su Liao gestured to him, nodded his thumb and then turned outward.Yu Yu is familiar with this gesture—generally Su Liao means "put it on me". For example, when they were discussing the order of the relay, they finally decided on Su Liaoyou's last bat, and he did the same gesture at that time.

What does Su Liao mean now?

Yu Yu thought to himself, he'd better take care of the affairs of the world.

Soon, Director Geng successfully caught a few boys who were "running too fast" at the entrance of the corridor, and punished them to stand in a row one by one, with their backs to the cafeteria gate, facing the "second honor wall", and thought for half an hour.

Unfortunately, the tall man standing next to Yu Yu, whom he had seen before - was one of the members of the basketball team who occupied the strength training room that day.Yu Yu didn't know his name, but he felt familiar.

Taking advantage of Director Geng's busy arresting people, the tall man lightly bumped Yu Yu's shoulder with his shoulder, and gritted his teeth in a low voice: "That Su Liao in your team is no ordinary scum."

Yu Yu looked sad: "Yes, that's right, please beat him up after school, thank you."

The tall man: "...is it so bad?"

"I still have the face to chat!" Director Geng turned his head and shouted loudly, "I punished you to stand here, is it for you to chat!"

The two immediately shut up.

Yu Yu was bored and could only stare at the wall of honor in a daze.There is a long row of glass cabinets, and all kinds of trophies and medals are shining golden in the sun. Looking around, there are not many silver ones, which is very spectacular.About 90.00% of the display cabinets are national and even international awards in Olympic subject competitions. There are only two municipal trophies for men's basketball and women's aerobics placed in the corner, which looks very pitiful.

He remembered the relay again.

In swimming competitions, generally only the team awards will have trophies, and there are only four medals in relay competitions.But Su Liao said that the "Challenge Cup" National Student Swimming Championships is an exception. The national relay championship trophy is particularly beautiful, with a glass spray-shaped body and a jumping golden dolphin on the top.He imagined in his mind the appearance of such a little golden dolphin placed in the window of honor, and he became inexplicably excited.

Last Sunday, he met Cheng Zhefan at the sports school. The two of them who were basically silent, still chatted about the provincial trials.At that time, Cheng Zhefan said——

A ten-year-old genius, if he hasn't become famous in his teens, will be nothing but obsolete by the age of 20.Competitive swimming is a sport that eats youth. If you want to stand on the international stage, you have already started to win the National Games championship at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Yu Yu didn't know why, but when he heard these words, he became anxious.

But now, he was relieved again.

Yu Yu suddenly discovered that honor itself is meaningless.

It is the "experience" itself that gives honor meaning.

Next spring, he will celebrate his 16th birthday.Maybe he hasn't become famous yet, and Yu Yu doesn't know if he will have a so-called "become famous" day in his life.He only knew that at this moment, the cold wind in December was clear and the sun was so bright that the Second Wall of Honor shone brightly.

At the age of 16, what he wants to do most is to participate in the relay with his friends.

The author has something to say: [1] Some refer to the National Middle School Swimming Championships, but the current swimming competitions for high school students do not qualify in the province to participate in the national competition system.This is for the needs of the plot, I made it up.In addition, there are generally no trophies for relays! Again is the need of the plot!
