Chapter 758: Preserving Strength
The fifty-meter relay race officially begins.
11. What dad just said to Lin Yu was not groundless, nor was it that he didn't trust them.
In the preliminaries, maybe everyone is not in the same group, so it’s hard to tell.
But the eight groups of families in the semi-finals were all in the same group, and everyone saw each other's results.
Among the eight families in the semi-finals, Nan Nan’s father’s strength is obvious to all.
Really fast.
Nannan is also fast.
So they entered the finals with first place in the rematch.
Lin Yu and Xiao Mango entered the finals in third place.
Only my father would say that we should protect three and fight for two.
Let them keep their third place result and strive for second place.
The game begins.
The little guys stand at the starting line.
The fifty-meter relay race actually does not only run a total of fifty meters.
Instead, the children and parents each ran fifty meters.
What needs to be tested is not only the running speed of the children, but also the explosive power of the parents.
Sometimes, the gap that children fall behind may be pulled back by their parents.
Nannan's father is such an example.
In the preliminaries, Nan Nan was not the fastest in the group, but after Nan Nan's father took over, he still became the first in the group through his speed advantage.
With a gunshot.
The little guys set out with all their strength.
Because it was the finals, there were only four children.
"Little Mango is very fast, faster than in the rematch." Yiyi's father admired.
When Little Mango was in the rematch, she was ranked second among the children in the 50 meters, but now she took the lead and became the first place, and has been leading. Obviously, the children behind her can't catch up with her.
This lead will definitely continue until the baton is passed to dad.
"Little Mango is already a fast runner, much faster than Nan Nan." One by one, they tried their best to cheer for their good friends, not forgetting to criticize their unfulfilled father.
Just as Yiyi's father guessed, Little Mango's lead continued until he handed the baton to his father.
"I guess Nannan and his family are about to overtake us."
"Yes, no one can be faster than Nan Nan's father."
"In the rematch, he was faster than everyone else."
Yiyi's father also said to himself, "As long as I can keep second place."
While everyone was whispering, Nannan's father received the red and white stick almost at the same time.
Although Little Mango runs faster than Nan Nan.
But the gap between children is not very big, just a few steps. This gap can hardly become a substantial advantage among adults.
So everyone feels that these few steps have no advantage at all, and they will be overtaken by Nan Nan’s father in no time.
"I'm going~ so fast."
"So fast?"
"It's so fast. I didn't find anyone so fast during the rematch."
"This is......"
11Dad suddenly his eyes lit up!
"This is Mango Daddy from the first grade class.
I just said he ran fast!
What about Nan Nan’s dad? This time the champion must be our class 1 mango dad.”
One by one, Dad deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear.
"It turns out to be Lin Mango's father from Class 1."
"Third place in the rematch."
"With this speed, it seems that both the preliminaries and the semi-finals are conserving strength."
"It must be to preserve our strength. We deliberately did not use our full strength in the first two games."
...
shock.
Incredible.
Applause.
"First, Lin Mango and his family are champions."
"The representative family of Class 1 wins."
"The top three teams in the semi-finals counterattacked the first place in the finals."
"Awesome, really awesome."
"It's too fast. It's better to be young."
"I wouldn't have been able to run this fast if I had gone back five years."
Because everyone thought that Nan Nan's father would run first, when they saw that Lin Yu was leading by two lengths to the finish line, they all started talking in shock.
The person they thought could win easily turned out to be helpless against others, which undoubtedly added to the enjoyment of the game.
Yiyi's father and Yiyi rushed to the finish line.
"Okay, I actually let you win." Yiyi's father patted Lin Yu's shoulder.
"My father deliberately hides his strength. He said that he should accumulate his skills and gain strength." Little Mango said proudly.
One by one, they happily held the hands of their good friends and said, "Congratulations to Mango, first place, first place."
The two friends immediately started jumping up and down.
Mango's father asked in astonishment, "Did you deliberately not run at your best in the rematch?"
Lin Yu smiled and did not answer directly.
1. Dad can manage a large company, his brain works very quickly, and he understands it all at once.
Running three fifty meters in a row and running at full strength will definitely consume a lot of energy.
In addition, with a powerful opponent like Nannan's father, it would definitely not work if there was no strategy at all.
Little Mango is a child. If he runs three fifty meters in a row, his physical strength will definitely decrease. He will not run as fast as he did each time, so he deliberately maintains his physical strength and just steps on the line to enter the finals.
Lin Yu also retained his strength.
Unlike Lin Yu who was surrounded by congratulators, Nan Nan's father was surrounded by embarrassment.
Originally, finishing second was a relatively good result, but because they were too high-profile in the preliminary and semi-finals, everyone thought they could win the championship. But now they are counterattacked by others, and this second place is the same as failure.
When other people came to congratulate him, it would seem like they were laughing at him, and no one would come over.
"Wow, wow, dad, why did you lose? You are so bad, wow, wow." Nannan cried and blamed her father.
Nannan's father was also very angry. The champion who was already in his pocket suddenly flew away. Although it was just a parent-child competition in school, there were winners and losers, and there was also a need to save face. Nannan's father felt very humiliated and was in a bad mood.
"If they hadn't deliberately cheated, we wouldn't have lost the game. We deliberately conserved our strength and won without force."
Nannan's father's voice was so loud that everyone around him heard it.
Of course Lin Yu also heard it.
But he didn't care, and he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with Nan Nan's father.
Yiyi's father heard Nannan's father's complaint and touched Lin Yu's arm with his elbow. He was afraid that he was too young and would get angry and quarrel with others, so he whispered.
"As long as you win the championship, losers will always complain. If they don't win the championship, let them complain. This is a gift from the winners."
Lin Yu smiled and whispered, "I understand."
...
Back in the class team, Lin Yu and Xiao Mango received a warm welcome.
Although everyone did not gather around the competition, they could clearly see the whole process of the competition in the class formation.
Everyone thinks like Dad Yiyi, as long as he can keep third place, it would be better if he can win second place.
But I didn't expect that he would be the champion in the end, and the undisputed first place. It was obvious that there were many Nannan dads who were close to the second place.
"Awesome, Daddy Mango."
"I really didn't realize that he was running so fast."
"You must exercise regularly."
"At first glance, you can see that he exercises regularly and is lean and lean."
"With a big belly like mine, how long do I have to run to lose weight?"
"Haha, I am young. We are already in our thirties, and time is not forgiving."
"If you don't exercise enough, just say you don't exercise enough. Don't let your age matter."
...
Although the top three winners are the children and their parents, the class also has a collective award selection. The selection criterion is the number of rankings obtained by each class. The first place is worth three points, the second place is two points, and the third place is one point.
So going out to compete is not just about competing for yourself, but also representing the class.
Because it is a parent-child competition, there are many events, and there is no clearly specified number of people for each event. Register in advance and the school will make unified arrangements.
Some events are more interesting and will have more participants, such as the 50-meter relay race, which is all about running hard. Many parents didn't sign up because they knew they couldn't do it, so the number of people signing up for each class in this event was not large.
Being able to get three points in the first event is a good start for the class.
The head teacher was also very happy.
The various activities carried out by the school and the performance of the class will also become one of the basis for teacher selection at the end of the year.
The head teacher came over enthusiastically and said, "Take a rest quickly, the second competition will begin soon."
She asked Xiao Mango and Lin Yu to sit in the empty seats in the first row.
...
Second game.
Two people and three legs.
This is a gaming competition.
Parents and children stand side by side and tie the legs next to each other with cloth strips. After the competition starts, participating families need to run a 30-meter track. The first to reach the finish line wins.
Because there are many participating families, a timing method will be used. The top eight with the shortest time will advance to the semi-finals, and the top five from the semi-finals will advance to the finals.
The competition process is the same as the 50-meter relay race. But the distance is much shorter and the fun is enhanced.
"This is a reserved game between Yiyi and I. When we were in kindergarten, we broke the record." Yiyi's father said proudly.
Lin Yu had no recollection, and seemed to remember something like this in a daze.
He hadn't come yet at that time. In the past, Lin Yu was busy with his livelihood and had never participated in his children's parent-child sports games.
In fact, only people with certain financial strength can weigh the pros and cons of choices, and most people can only bow to life.
In the past, Lin Yu had no money to eat or pay rent if he didn't work for a day, so he could only work non-stop.
In this devastated situation of being tortured by life, I can only choose to give up all the time to spend with my children.
But if dad dares to say this, Lin Yu believes it.
The two-person and three-legged game is not about physical strength and endurance, but more about game skills.
How can we run faster? The two of us can work together better.
Lin Yu and Xiao Mango have played this game at home, and also played it in offline interactions at training institutions. The speed is quite good, and there are many times when they get first place.
However, in school competitions, there are many participating families, so it is inevitable that there will be situations of crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
There are people outside the world.
Different from the obvious gap in the 50-meter relay, the two and three legs do not need to conserve their physical strength. They need to go all out every time, and it is likely that the more they cooperate, the better.
Yiyi and Little Mango were not assigned to the same group. The school tried its best to separate those in the same class so that they would not meet in the group stage. Of course, there would be situations where it was impossible to avoid meeting.
The group stage will end soon.
Eight groups of families participated in the semi-finals.
"Okay, the results of the group stage are just a little slower than ours. Have you retained your strength this time?" Yiyi's father asked with a smile.
Lin Yu shook his head calmly, "We are going all out."
"It seems we are indeed very fast." Yiyi's father said with a smile, and then he looked at his daughter.
Lin Yu and Xiao Mango said before the group stage that they don’t have to strive for first place in every competition. In the event they are best at, they must try their best to be first and best. But in other events, just try your best. After all, it is safe.
First.
Because Little Mango already had a championship, his mentality was not so impetuous, and he deeply agreed with his father's words.
Because the two of them were in a relaxed mood, they performed well in the group stage. They ranked first in the group and entered the semi-finals.
Fourth place in the semi-finals, this team entered the finals.
"Let's work hard together to get third place." Lin Yu rubbed the little guy's head. They had been trying their best since the preliminary round.
And I can feel that the two times the cooperation is getting better and better.
But he still only entered the finals in fourth place.
It turns out that others are indeed faster than them.
This way you don't have to worry too much, just do your best.
Little Mango nodded vigorously.
The finals officially begin.
The sound of cheers from various classes could be heard all around.
Because among the four groups of families, two groups are in the same class.
Many parents and children from Class 1 gathered around the competition to cheer.
When it comes to the finals, everyone hopes to win a prize.
It’s okay to say you just try your best, it’s all about trying your best.
Lin Yu could feel Little Mango's determination not to admit defeat and not want to lose.
The little guy kept swinging his thighs and moved forward to follow his father's rhythm.
In order to better control the rhythm, Lin Yu shouted one, two, one, two.
In the initial stage, they ranked fourth.
The fourth place is the same as not making it to the finals, neither will get a prize.
Although Lin Yu is not so obsessed with the championship, since he has reached the finals, he wants to get the ranking no matter what.
The father and daughter held back their energy and worked hard together to surpass a group of families.
Afraid of being overtaken, the two of them kept running as fast as they could.
Their mood is like this, and so is the family ranked second. They really want to surpass the father and daughter ranked first.
We are almost reaching the end.
Suddenly, the second group of families not far in front of Lin Yu and the others stumbled forward and almost fell.
Although it was just a stagger, it almost fell down when Lin Yu and Xiao Mango ran with all their strength.
They suddenly surpassed the family that was originally ranked second.
At this time, both Lin Yu and Xiao Mango looked happy, and their slogans became louder and more urgent.
One, two, one, two, one, two...
It seemed that he felt that the opponent behind him was getting closer and closer to him, so Yiyi and his father began to speed up their pace, but not everyone has a strong psychological quality.
One is rushing forward full of fighting spirit, while the other is running in panic to keep the first place.
Soon, Yiyi and his father's footsteps became a little chaotic.
But due to their previous lead and the fact that they were about to reach the finish line.
"Can Mango and the others surpass Yiyi?"
"We're about to reach the finish line, it's a bit hanging."
"I think it's about the same. Judging from their acceleration, they should catch up with one by one near the finish line."
While several parents from Class 1 were discussing.
Lin Yu and Little Mango quickly moved forward to catch up.
Almost at the same time, the referee pressed the stopwatch.
Chapter completed!
