Chapter 393: What is absolute speed
"I'm an amateur in sports, but with half an hour to go, shouldn't athletes be preparing for the start of the competition instead of giving interviews?"
The big picture of Lee Tae-hee's interview was played clearly, and Qiao Yuanfan asked with some curiosity.
"This is a requirement from the sponsor. Park Chung-ho explained: "In South Korea, star athletes have their own exclusive sponsors, so how to protect their own interests is also a big issue that sponsors must consider. Interviews with athletes before the games, especially at home this time, are also a great help in boosting the sponsors' brands. β
"Money, it's still a matter of money. Qiao Yuanfan sighed with emotion.
Lee Tae-hee was interviewed for 10 minutes before returning to the preparation room for pre-match preparations.
Although his coaches Marcus and Howard are not too happy with the sponsors' approach, Lee Tae-hee's excellent form at this stage is not much to worry them about.
As the world of the game was getting closer and closer, and there were still 5 minutes to start, there were bursts of shouts of "Lee Tae-hee, Lee Tae-hee" in the stadium.
And in the south stand, a small red sea of about 200 people is also constantly cheering for a person's name:
Thunder rejoice! Thunder rejoice!
That's Brother Huanxi's personal guards!
Although the number of people is far less than Lee Tae-hee's fans, the scene is not weak at all.
In particular, Kaeko Nozawa stood there, leading the fans to do their best to shout over and over again.
Anne and Mo Fatzi have long joined such a ranks.
And those star champion members of the diving team also joined in shouting under the leadership of Qin Xiaoman.
"The athletes started coming in. β
When the voice sounded, the scene fell silent.
One by one, the athletes appeared and sat down in their seats.
"Sixth Player, China, Lei Huanxi!"
The south stand continued to erupt with cries of "thunder and joy".
Our brother Huanxi also waved in that direction frequently.
Over there. There are his relatives, there are his lovers, there are his friends.
And, of course, his idols.
"China's Lei Huanxi came out, which is also the hope of the national swimming team. Said the host of the national television.
"Lei Huanxi is very relaxed today. Yu Fenfang is simply a fan of Lei Huanxi: "I firmly believe that he can achieve good results today, let us wait and see what he does today." β
In the third and fifth lanes, Japan's Mori Oshima and China's Che Lianghui are in the third and fifth lanes.
In the eyes of the vast majority of the media, the winner will be made from these three players.
As for the others, it's nothing more than a foil, even including the former star player Lei Huanxi. His performance in the preliminaries and semi-finals was really not good.
In fact. The 400m freestyle is not South Korea's Lee Tae-hee's forte. His strongest event was the 100 meters, then the 200 meters.
However, in this local battle, Lee Tae-hee also performed very well in the 400-meter freestyle, and the championship was also regarded as a sure thing.
"Fourth Path--Republic of Korea-Lee-Tae-Hee!"
In the deliberately elongated sound of the live DJ, the most enthusiastic cheers of the audience broke out in an instant.
South Korea's national idol Lee Tae-hee finally appeared!
In the almost frantic shouting, Lee Tae-hee smiled and stood up from the rest chair and waved frequently, looking very relaxed.
It's easy for such a crazy cry to be quiet.
The athletes begin to prepare for the decisive battle.
I had already dealt with each other in that adaptation training, and this time Lei Huanxi and Lee Tae-hee looked at each other, and Lee Tae-hee stretched out his index finger. Gesture with a "one".
First place, I will be the first in this lane!
Lei Huanxi smiled, pointed to the usefulness, and then also stretched out his index finger to make a "one" gesture.
What does this mean? Is Lei Huanxi the number one?
Lee Tae-hee will soon understand.
"Athletes, please prepare. β
The scene fell silent.
In the south stand, Anne held Liang Yudan's hand tightly, but Kaeko Nozawa held Anne's hand tightly.
The long-awaited showdown is about to take place!
The athletes took to the starting platform.
Lei Huanxi glanced at the south stand again.
Don't worry, everything is under control.
And at this moment, in the athlete's room, a fat dragon also turned on the TV.
Eating potato chips. Enjoying the performance, it is much more comfortable for Chubby than going to any scene.
Well, those humans are stupid, are they standing there and what are they doing? Why don't you go into the water?
Look at Brother Huanxi's stupid appearance.
There seems to be a thing called record-breaking in human beings, right?
Feed. Hey, Brother Huanxi, it's just a casual record-breaking.
"Readyβ"
The athlete bent over.
To be honest, Brother Huanxi's posture is really not standard.
In this way, his entry into the water will be much slower than that of other competitors.
"Bang-"
Eight athletes jumped into the water almost simultaneously.
The cheers of the scene sounded again!
The world record in this event is 3:40.07 held by Germany's Biedermann, and the Asian record is 3:40.29. We have received a number of statistics. Oh my God, the fastest reaction time into the water turned out to be China's Lei Huanxi! His reaction time into the water turned out to be the fastest!"
The host's words were quickly interrupted by Yu Fenfang: "Attention. Lei Huanxi's strategy today is completely different from that time in Jindong, he is actually leading the first 50 meters!"
That's right! Lei Huanxi has been leading the tour since he entered the water!
This is not a wise choice! In the 400m event, it will be more physically exhausting to lead the tour at the beginning!
But Lei Huanxi just did it!
His teammate Cha Yanghui is also pushing forward.
He remembered very clearly that Lei Huanxi had told him:
At first, I led the tour, and you followed me closely!
Could it be that Ray is ready to make a sacrifice?
Lee Tae-hee, who was in the fourth lane, used the corner of his eye to see Lei Huanxi swimming in the first place when he was paddling!
He suddenly understood the meaning of the gesture Lei Huanxi made before the game:
Beat you in the first 50 meters!
No, the champion is mine, the champion must stay in Korea!
Lee Tae-hee also unconsciously sped up the speed of his stroke.
"Keep the speed, keep the speed!" Marcus simply forgot about it, and it was impossible for Lee Tae-hee to hear his voice. But he still couldn't help but shout: "Don't let the speed be disrupted! Don't let the speed be disrupted!"
But no matter what, in the water, it is the world of thunder!
He's going to be here. At Lee Tae-hee's home stadium, to all the spectators:
Himself, Lei Huanxi from China, is the only ruler of this pool!
He will tell all the people:
What is absolute speed!
"Oh my God, Lei Huanxi is still accelerating!" Yu Fenfang couldn't believe it: "What is Lei Huanxi doing? Why did he start exerting his strength in the first 50 meters? Why did he do his best at the beginning?"
Most of the audience are not experts and have no way of knowing the trick.
Brother Huanxi's personal guards began to erupt in shouts again.
And those Korean audiences did not show weakness at all.
Korean cheerleaders are famous all over the world. Their cheering methods were organized, disciplined, and full of momentum, and they quickly suppressed the shouts of Brother Huanxi's personal guards.
But just because the audience is suppressed doesn't mean it will be suppressed in the water!
The first turn, Lei Huanxi is already ahead!
In the second 50-meter turn, Lei Huanxi was half a body ahead!
In second place is Lee Tae-hee, third is Oshima Sheng, and fourth is Cha Yanghui.
At the end of the first 100 meters, Lee Tae-hee faintly realized that something was wrong:
The amplitude of his own paddling was completely disrupted by Lei Huanxi!
The same thoughts arose in Oshimamori's heart.
Every good athlete has his own range. It's even accurate to how many arms are paddled every 50 meters!
Once the rhythm is disrupted, it will be difficult to come up with good grades!
But Lei Huanxi was too fast!
"No, no, he's going to slow down after 200 meters!" Marcus and Howard adamantly didn't believe anyone could keep that pace all the time while leading the swim.
But what they probably didn't expect was that Lei Huanxi actually didn't even show half of his true strength!
Otherwise, it's terrifying.
At the end of the second 100 meters, Lei Huanxi was already one position ahead!
Even the layman knows that in swimming, it will be difficult to catch up in the last 200 meters.
Cha Lianghui rushed to third place!
"Lei Huanxi is still rushing! Still rushing!" Yu Fenfang shouted into the microphone: "He has no reservations today! This is the embodiment of his true strength! At the Jindong Championships, he did not exert any strength at all! Not at all! God, I have never seen an athlete swim 400 meters like this! It is too fast. It's so fast! Thunder's speed is incredible!"
The third 100 meters!
Ray Huanxi's lead reaches a half-position!
It's horrible!
Che Lianghui, who has been struggling to catch up with Lei Huanxi, actually rushed to second place!
The third place is not Lee Tae-hee. It's Japan's Oshima Mori!
Lee Tae-hee's rhythm is completely disrupted!
The shouts of the scene suddenly became silent.
In a moment, another cry rang out from the South Stand:
"Lei Huanxi, come on! Come on, Lei Huanxi!"
Even Qin Xiaoman, who has always been very calm in front of the public, joined in this unreserved cheer!
Lei Huanxi, men's 400m freestyle final, the last 100 meters!
This is his world!
No one can challenge him in his world!
He is the absolute master here. Absolute king!
Turning around in the last 50 meters, everyone knows that there is no suspense in the championship battle for this competition!
The terrible Lei Huanxi actually led the second place by nearly two positions!
Lei Huanxi slowed down at such a critical moment!
He was waiting for his teammate Cha Yanghui to get as close to him as possible! (To be continued......)
