Chapter 51 New Friends
The result of the 200-meter medley was scheduled for the last race in the afternoon, and Wu Huai was completely speechless about the schedule.Around [-] o'clock in the afternoon is usually not the time for people to be in their best condition, and naturally it is not easy to swim well. Fortunately, everyone's condition is very average, so they are almost on the same starting line.
The contestants complained again and again, and some people speculated maliciously whether the biological clock of the Koreans was the most suitable at this time, so they arranged such a messy schedule for the sake of their own players. Good results.
Tucao belongs to Tucao, the game still has to be played on time.Wu Huai's 200-meter mixed preliminaries were arranged in the seventh lane of the sixth group. There were players from Thailand, India, Iran and Qatar in the same group, as well as a player from Hong Kong, China.
Everyone does not know Wu Huai, but they are in awe of the player from Hong Kong, China. This is a veteran who has participated in many world-level competitions. Four years ago, he even entered the final of the Asian Games and finally won the The result of this project No.7.
Already very powerful, No.7 in Asia, not one in ten thousand, but No.7 among billions of people.
But the player from Hong Kong, China has been observing Wu Huai, looking at his appearance, his figure, and the distribution of muscle lines on his body, and finally sighed in his heart.
Chinese athletes are very strong all over the world, not to mention in Asia. The Chinese athletes who can be sent to represent the country in the competition, which one has not killed thousands of troops and was selected, and all of them are rushing to win medals. of.
It's really unlucky that I got a group with Chinese players, so don't be too ugly when the time comes.
Wu Huai noticed the sight, turned his head to look, and smiled politely.
The player from Hong Kong, China sighed heavily in his heart again. It's unlucky. He is still such a young man. To be selected for the Asian Games team must not be ordinary. For these people, the Asian Games are nothing. It's for the Olympics.
Before going on the field, everyone was secretly muttering in their hearts, carefully observing their opponents.As a rookie in the True World Series, Wu Huai didn't know that he had become the center of attention, and he was a little worried about whether he would steal the jump when he started, and what if he couldn't make it to the semifinals.
Fortunately, the competition started soon. Wu Huai didn't hold back his strength in the 200-meter medley and broke out completely, so he took the lead as a matter of course and finished the competition easily.
At the finish line, I turned my head and looked at the big screen, I'm going, almost two seconds ahead of No.2!Especially the last one. I was nearly eight seconds faster than him. What kind of concept is this? When I reached the finish line, that person still had more than 20 meters to catch up.
So Wu Huai finally understood why table tennis players fear the National Games rather than the World Series.Speaking of which, the overall results of the national training team are much higher than the results of this preliminaries, so there is really no pressure at all.
After easily reaching the semi-finals, Wu Huai let go of his heart.
The level of the Asian Games is not bad, but it is not very high. Except for a few world-class players, most of the players are actually members of the national swimming team. Wu Huai who stands out from this group of people is indeed a little outperformed.
Coming out of the water, the Hong Kong player who was three lanes away caught up and asked in Cantonese Mandarin: "Hello, you are really good, can you win the championship?"
Wu Huai was stunned, and smiled politely: "Hi, I've tried my best. I'm from the Guangdong team, and we're not far away." He said this in Cantonese, which is not very standard. The accent of foreigners who have learned Cantonese not long ago, but because it is a little out of tune, it looks very cute, and the sense of distance is shortened a lot.
The Hong Kong player opened his eyes wide: "Really? I have been to the Guangdong team. I will go to play with you after this match. My name is Qiu Licheng."
"Wu Huai, after changing my clothes, I'll leave a cell phone number for you, you can call me."
"Okay."
The two felt like they hit it off, chatting in the locker room and still chatting outside the locker room, if it wasn't for today's last game, maybe they would continue chatting in the stands.
Qiu Licheng is a person who is good at chatting. He is seven years older than Wu Huai and has much more knowledge than Wu Huai. The key people are enthusiastic and good at talking.What's more, Wu Huai has an inexplicable feeling for Hong Kong. This may be related to the God of Gamblers and Young and Dangerous movies he has watched since he was a child. He always feels that Hong Kong people are very trendy and awesome, and he is also willing to make friends in Hong Kong.
In the evening Wu Huai went to play in Zhanyan's room, the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, he picked it up, and from the sharp accent, he knew it was Qiu Licheng calling.
Qiu Licheng first asked him if he would have a game tomorrow, and then asked him to go to the bar to play, Wu Huai hesitated for a moment, and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Huai looked at Zhanyan: "A friend invited me to the bar for a while, do you want to go?"
Showing his face and raising his eyebrows: "Who is it?"
"Qiu Licheng, the Hong Kong person who played against me in the group preliminaries today."
"Just met? Ask you to go to the bar?"
"Ah."
The corners of Zhanyan's mouth tightened, and he stopped talking.
Originally, according to the previous way of getting along with each other, Wu Huai would soften at this time, maybe he would say that he is not very familiar with him, so it is okay not to go.But I don't know why, seeing Zhanyan's expression of not saying anything, which is obviously unwilling, I feel inexplicably refreshed in my heart, and I simply stood up and said, "That's fine, if you don't go, I will Go, don't worry, I will drink less, see you tomorrow."
After Wu Huai finished speaking, he left, Zhanyan glanced at the time, it was not yet eight o'clock.
Usually Wu Huai, no matter how annoying he was, would not leave until after nine o'clock.
Wu Huai went to the bar in the Asian Games Village. It was a very healthy bar with light music playing and a resident singer singing, but they were Koreans and couldn't understand what they were singing.The decoration in the bar is mainly based on sports elements, the light is also bright, and you can drink as much as you want. If you are not afraid of not getting up the next day, you can just sweep all the wine on the wine cabinet.But very few people drink too much alcohol, at most three bottles of beer.
There are not many people in the bar, and almost all of them are men. Friends of three or five get together, chat and laugh, and meet some new friends. The night time passes quickly.
Wu Huai came here for the first time, and immediately found that this is a good place, a healthy social environment should be more involved, and maybe he should bring Zhanyan over for a walk next time.
Qiu Licheng also brought two teammates over, the four of them introduced each other, opened a bottle of beer in front of each other, and chatted.
The topic is not on the Asian Games, but mainly on tourism in Guangdong and Hong Kong. Qiu Licheng also talked about his training with the Guangdong team five years ago. Wu Huai said that he was still in a youth sports school in Sichuan at that time. Flutter it.
Chatting with this group of Hong Kong players was very pleasant, and the time passed unconsciously. When Wu Huai wanted to drink again, Qiu Licheng held his hand: "Drinking and chatting is just to add to the fun, just the right amount. When we return to Guangzhou, I invite you to drink, and then enjoy yourself to your heart's content."
Wu Huai was sweating, and laughed: "Thank you Brother Qiu."
Wu Huai liked Qiu Licheng's gentlemanly manner very much. The next morning, he made an appointment to watch the game together, and at the same time introduced Bo Rui and Zhanyan to each other.Compared with Bo Rui's enthusiasm, Zhanyan is much colder, with a strong aura of aloofness, making it difficult for people to approach.Qiu Licheng was afraid of Wu Huai's embarrassment, so he said that everyone has different personalities, and he was very happy to know Zhanyan.But in fact, Wu Huai loved Zhanyan's awkward and hypocritical appearance in his heart.
The semi-finals were held on the third day after the start of the Asian Games. Wu Huai started to sort out his mood from the morning, letting his flying emotions settle down.
When the game is here, the domestic sports channels are about to start broadcasting it, that is to say, those he cares about and those who care about him will see him on TV.
Don't let them down, and swim out your best results.
Wu Huai told himself so.
The men's 200-meter mixed semi-final was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. There were 32 groups in total and 3 players entered the semi-final. Wu Huai ranked No.3 in the semi-final, followed by Bo Rui and a Korean player.Grouped according to ranking, Wu Huai is in the fourth lane of the third group.
At this point in the game, the pressure began to increase. The remaining 32 contestants from Dalang Taosha competed for a total of eight places in the final. That is to say, only the top two in each group, and they have not swum to the second place in the group, so they are 100% sure to be able to enter In the finals, the top eight players with the best results are selected, and it is not uncommon for a certain group to enter three players.
In the morning, Wu Huai still ran to the swimming pool, and Bo Rui and Qiu Licheng also ran together.
After all, Qiu Licheng was getting old, and his performance had regressed a lot this year. With a total score of 30, he barely entered the semi-finals.Xu Shi saw his future clearly, and his expression was very relaxed. He said that he was studying with the prince, and hoped that the two princes would kill Smecta and win the championship, so he smiled happily.
Both Wu Huai and Bo Rui were amused, and they especially liked this Hong Kong native.
Bo Rui once said with emotion: "It's a pity, I'm in Beijing, and I can't go to your party. It's really sad."
Wu Huai chuckled: "I have made an appointment with Brother Qiu, and I will go to Hong Kong to play around when I get back. He will cover all the expenses, as long as you bring someone to play."
Bo Rui took a sip of saliva, envious and jealous.
In the Asian Games, the temporary iron triangle appeared inexplicably. Zhanyan, who was excluded from the outside and couldn't get in, continued to be cold on the outside, but she was forced to die in her heart. What the hell is going on!
For the semi-finals of the 200m medley, Qiu Licheng and Bo Rui were arranged in a group. The first group played, and Wu Huai, who was left behind, cheered them on.
Qiu Licheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will hold on to Bo Rui, maybe I will enter the finals."
Bo Rui patted his butt: "I have thick thighs, come and hug me."
Everyone was laughing and laughing, and they stepped onto the field with ease.
The first group competition was over quickly, Bo Rui lived up to expectations and won the group No.1, Qiu Licheng was fourth in the group, better than the preliminaries, but unfortunately he could not enter the final.
At that time, Wu Huai had already arrived at the waiting area, and he didn't have time to comfort Qiu Licheng, as his war was coming soon.
