Chapter 34 You can't beat the wheel battle, why don't you fight together
"Gu, you are so strong. I admire you so much. What you said on TV was so domineering. I have always dreamed of being so arrogant on TV. Mua~ are you willing to be friends with me publicly?
?
It doesn’t matter if we’re not boyfriend or girlfriend, as long as you can show up at my school, pick me up once, and make all my classmates envious of me. In exchange, you can have me at any time as long as you are willing.”
On July 28, the night after the medley competition, in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta, Pablo celebrated for Gu Kun in his room until late at night, so excited that she didn't want to leave.
During this period, Gu Kun has been in the limelight because he is so handsome. For those ghost girls who don't mind whether they are virgins or not, even ladies from big families can get up close and personal with such an awesome man.
When you make a friend, you definitely can’t help but want to devote yourself to having fun.
In fact, in their hearts, they don't have any "dedication" mentality. It's just that everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy and mutually satisfied.
But how could a person like Gu Kun, who was so measured, let such a girl get her way? He used his hands and feet freely to satisfy the other person for a moment, and then told the other person to get out with a slap:
"Come on, I still have the finals of three events that require the most endurance! I'm not afraid of you. You'll look better when I finish!"
"Okay." Pablo could only give up in frustration, but Gu Kun felt that she was quite satisfied with touching her, so she stopped for now.
"By the way, that Nash next to you, is his family familiar with Fox TV? He has watched swimming competitions with you for so many days, and he doesn't seem to be interested in swimming."
Taking advantage of the girl's unfinished thoughts, Gu Kun quickly pretended to casually pry out some information.
It turned out that the reason why he endured the humiliation and allowed the girl to stay in his room late at night, and did not hesitate to give her a preliminary hand and foot comfort, was entirely to obtain information.
Ever since the people at Fox changed reporters that day and started to stir up trouble and talk about things with drugs, Gu Kun knew that there must be a small group of people cooperating to deal with him.
Oceania's swimming team has a direct interest in it, and you don't need to guess to know that it must be one of the people who wants to deal with him.
But Gu Kun knew that the national team was in power when Minzhu was in power, and he should not be able to direct Fox and n to do it.
Therefore, there must be other enemies here who are not enemies on the surface.
Charles Nash thinks that his EQ and IQ are better than those of other high school students, but when he encounters an old scumbag like Gu Kun, he still intends to check back. How could he not find out?
The most important thing is that Pablo's heart was conquered by Gu Kun. As long as Pablo knows everything about Gu Kun but has reservations about Nash, Nash will definitely expose his fault in this matter.
Gu Kun made a secret investigation and basically figured out the reverse reasoning of the other party's actions.
"That kid, wait until the game is over and settle the score with him later. Haha, you dare to get in trouble with me just to steal a woman. For now, let's humiliate the Oceanic team on the field and let them fan the flames and spread rumors.
Pay the price!" Gu Kun snuffed out his cigar viciously, having already made up his mind.
…
The next day, July 29th.
In the morning and afternoon, there were the finals of the 400-meter medley and the 400-meter freestyle respectively.
As of the day before yesterday, the current world record for the 400-meter freestyle has been improved by a full 16.8 seconds compared to this time last year. This record has been broken three times by Gu Kun.
The first two times were broken at the Fukuoka World Universiade last year, each time by two or three seconds. The third time was broken in the semi-finals yesterday, and it improved by a full 10 seconds!
At that time, everyone was a little shocked again, because this was the largest single world record that Gu Kun had ever broken in a single event. Many people in the industry secretly laughed at Gu Kun's incompetence. The time difference of ten seconds, even if he didn't break the world record again.
If you know how to pinch it, it will be enough to break it at least three or four times, but it will be wasted in one time.
In the semi-finals, he was already about half a pool ahead of the second place player in the same group, which is a full 25 meters!
Correspondingly, it is the record of the 400-meter medley. In yesterday's preliminaries, Gu Kun did not break it by much. He only broke it slightly by nearly 2 seconds. And because he did not participate in the medley last year, this event has only been broken in the past two years.
It was broken for the first time, and with the current results, other players look promising to give it a try.
But even so, many people still saw Gu Kun's extraordinary level in the medley: his butterfly stroke was slower than the other seven swimmers in the same field.
The order of the individual medley is butterfly, back, and frog. Since then, the butterfly has been ranked first. When the first lap was completed, Gu Kun was actually 15 meters behind the first place and even behind the seventh place.
More than 6 meters.
However, in the next three strokes, Gu Kun immediately overtook him. After only swimming the 100-meter backstroke, he had already returned to the third position, and was half a length behind the second place. Breaststroke swimming
By the end, he was already in absolute first place. At the end of freestyle, he surpassed the second place by 10 meters and broke the world record.
Many professionals have seen Gu Kun's potential: his other three postures are not even a hair above the current highest level of anyone else in the world.
Judging from the last 300 meters of the medley, Gu Kun can usually be faster in a single stroke competition.
"Athletes prepare, what is about to happen next is the men's 400-meter freestyle final..."
"The third track, Gu Kun..."
Following the sound of preparations on the radio, Gu Kun stood on the starting platform amidst the cheers of the crowd, not forgetting to wave to both sides.
As soon as the starting whistle sounded, he once again jumped into the water with ease, and once again led the entire race without any suspense.
Since there were no Oceania players participating, the cheers from the Oceania audience at home reached their highest peak in recent days.
After all, in this arena, Gu Kun is competing with Lucia Lao Maozi for the championship, and there is no conflict of interest with the people of Oceania.
"Come on, Gu!" Everyone was shouting in English, waiting for the accustomed champion to arrive.
3 minutes is very short, but this 3 minutes seems to be especially short.
After the first minute, that is, when everyone had swam almost a lap and a half, everyone stood up and realized that something unusual seemed to be happening today.
Gu Kun is indeed fast, but today he was too fast!
It was only one minute, only one and a half laps, and he was already half the length of the second place!
Yesterday, he only surpassed the second place by half a pool when he swam three laps! Today, he surpassed the second place by so much in half the time!
"Could it be that he broke the world record by 10 seconds yesterday and will break it by another 10 seconds today?" This terrible idea was accepted by everyone after a brief commotion in the crowd, followed by whispers of wild thoughts.
It seems that there is really only one possibility.
In the stands of Gu Kun's die-hard fans, Lin Ying, Midrova and Publly also thought of this terrible possibility.
And Nash, who had been trying to stick to Pablo, also looked ashen.
What on earth is this guy going to do? Isn’t it interesting to break 10 seconds every time?
Are you crazy? Doesn’t it smell good when the water flows slowly?
The second minute passed, and everyone’s guesses were completely confirmed, because Gu Kun had surpassed the second place by more than one pool length, which was more than half a round trip. In terms of time, as long as the gap could not be narrowed in the later stages,
, he is 10 seconds faster than yesterday, it’s a foregone conclusion!
Unfortunately, everyone still underestimated him.
Gu Kun was still maintaining his sprinting speed, and there was no sign of physical exhaustion. He didn't feel like he was swimming 400 meters, but like he was swimming 100 meters, or even a 50-meter sprint!
"Is other people's sprint just his leisurely stroll?" All the spectators, including the coaches and players of the Oceanic team, left such a big question mark in their minds.
The audience has gone crazy, thinking has stopped, and all that is left is shouting without going through the brain.
"Faster! Faster!"
No matter what he wants to do! Stop thinking blindly!
As Gu Kun finally hit the wall, a staggering result was displayed on the electronic screen.
"3 minutes, 06 seconds and 18 seconds! Oh my god, God, this is the first person on earth to swim 400 meters under 3 minutes! The world record before the start of the competition was still 3 minutes and 39 seconds.
Yesterday he hit 3:30 on his own. Yesterday we were celebrating the fact that the first person on earth swam into the 3 and a half minute mark. Today he actually hit 3:06! He is not just 10 seconds faster than yesterday.
He improved by a full 24 seconds compared to yesterday!"
"This is the final of the Olympic Games! He actually surpassed the second place by nearly one lap in the 400-meter distance! Even if it wasn't one lap, it was at least one and a half pool lengths, seventy or eighty meters! Based on this ratio,
The 1500m final is definitely more than one lap away from the silver medal!"
Everyone was frightened, happy, surprised, and confused, but no one immediately discovered the key to the problem.
The coaching staff of the Oceanic team are also in a state of shock with admiration from the bottom of their hearts, and their IQs have not been online for a long time.
It wasn't until five minutes later that head coach Daniel forced his wits back from his confusion.
Sitting in front of the surveillance screen, he suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.
In fact, it can no longer be called a possibility. He is basically convinced, but he just doesn't dare and doesn't want to believe it, so he needs to find someone to take the blame and accept this reality together.
"No! Carl, please check quickly, what was the gold medal score of our 4x100 meter relay yesterday! What is the world record!"
The assistant coach named Carl quickly complied, and then reported a series of numbers in a formal manner: "The result we won yesterday was originally the new world record for the 4x100m freestyle relay, which was 3 minutes, 9 seconds and 86..."
When Karl reported the number, he didn't react yet. He smacked it for a few seconds before his face turned pale.
Others also reacted.
"Gu Kun's 400-meter freestyle was faster than the 4 of us each swimming a 100-meter freestyle relay?!"
They suddenly thought of what Gu Kun said in an interview with the media a few days ago, which no one paid much attention to at the time:
"Lanzhou cannot participate in the swimming relay race just because Lanfang cannot gather four athletes. If I are allowed to swim 400 meters by myself, other countries on the planet who send four people in the relay may not be my opponent."
Gu Kun was slapped in the face by Chi Keke because some rumors had doubted him before, so he wanted to fight back and lower the value of the two relay gold medals won by the Oceanic team.
Do you have the nerve to say that you are the strongest in this field? I don’t even use the clone technique. As long as I am allowed not to change people, I will defeat your team!
