Chapter 144 This is the real dragon(1/2)

ps: The previous chapter was blocked and should be released soon.

After Shen Lang completed the static test, he was first taken to the cafeteria.

It was breakfast time now, and Wang Hua took this opportunity to introduce him to everyone.

But in fact, without his introduction, most of the team members knew that there was a 4-year-old kid in the team, and his background was also spread from the small circle of the Shanghai Gang.

Shen Lang quickly introduced himself, and several old men in the team immediately came over to get close to him, and their attitudes were very friendly.

But whether these people are really so friendly to him cannot just be taken at face value.

Take the Zhao Xuebing in front of him, for example. He has a kind smile on his face and looks like a loyal big brother.

But in terms of system information, especially the displayed favorability, this Zhao Xuebing is not very friendly.

Zhao Xuebing, male, 25 years old, captain of the national men’s swimming team, good at breaststroke and freestyle.

Main achievements: "Seventh place in 00-meter breaststroke" and "Ninth place in 00-meter freestyle" at the 7th Asian Games; "Fifth place in 00-meter breaststroke" and "Seventh place in 00-meter freestyle" at the 1st Asian Games.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this information, but the favorability score is 46.

For some unknown reason, this guy was extremely disgusted with Shen Lang when they first met.

But Shen Lang didn't want to know the specific reasons. He just wanted to know who was the enemy and who was his friend.

Just like He Jiahui, the captain of the women's team, we can be friends. Her favorability level for him is 75 as soon as it goes up, which is considered very friendly.

Shen Lang didn't check their attitudes towards him one by one, because most of these teammates didn't have much interaction with him. He just wanted to check the attitudes of a few star players in the team towards him.

If you meet teammates who are young, have good talents, and are friendly to you, you can consider strengthening their talents in the future.

But unfortunately, he checked several male teammates in a row, and found that none of them were very friendly to him.

Just when Shen Lang was wondering how he had offended these teammates, he was surprised to find that most of the female teammates were very friendly to him. At worst, they had a normal impression, without even a hint of resentment.

This is very strange. Wu Jie happened to be observing this puppet. After seeing this situation, he thought about it for a long time before he understood why.

Shen Lang has good looks and a good figure, but the most important thing is that his family's conditions are good, especially his family background is very good.

Shen Lang's family has a history of more than 200 years. At that time, it was a wealthy gentry. In his grandfather's generation, he was also a well-known rich man in Shanghai. Before the liberation, half of the real estate in Zhouqiao Village was in their name.

Many industries, including Hong Kong, have also moved away.

Of course, this kind of tycoon belongs to the overthrown class.

But his grandfather was a fence-sitter back then and secretly supported Rabbit a lot. After liberation, most of the real estate and industry were handed over, and instead he received commendations.

Not to mention the previous ten years, now the country has begun to implement new policies, and some properties and industries that were originally state-owned have begun to return to their original owners.

It is of course impossible for the Shen family to bring back half of the village, but it is possible to return part of the properties that were handed over. There is also the possibility that his family's luxurious ancestral home, which originally occupied an area of ​​five hectares, was demolished to only three hectares.

, should also be returned. Including some undeveloped land along the river, I wonder if part of it will be returned to them.

Anyway, Shen Tao is applying to use the land that originally belonged to his family to create a collective factory, and leading the villagers to start a business together. Maybe he can get some of the land back through this roundabout way.

Shen Lang's family background is basically like this. To say that he is the second generation of the village is actually a bit derogatory. It is also inappropriate to say that he is a future rich man. After all, the family has a history of more than 200 years.

The team members in Shanghai all know that Shen Lang's family background, coupled with his good looks and outstanding figure, will naturally arouse the favor of most members of the opposite sex.

But at the same time, it will also make most people of the same sex feel uncomfortable. We are not saints, and who is not a little jealous?

But having said that, although no one in the men's team can compare with Shen Lang in terms of looks, almost half of the team members are somewhat handsome and have outstanding figures compared to ordinary people.

But if we look at the women's team, they don't even have good looks, and their figures are all thick-shouldered and thick-legged.

This situation is easy to explain. Swimmers need very strong physical strength and endurance, especially the strength of the upper body and thighs. At the same time, in order to reduce underwater resistance and save physical strength, the upper body is required to be longer than the lower body when selecting materials, and the shoulders should be thick and wide. , it would be best to have a pair of giant palms and big feet, then it would be perfect.

These requirements make both male and female swimmers strong, strong-backed, and with thick lower limbs.

So the question becomes, why do male swimmers still look like model figures?

This is because the male body is broad and strong, supplemented by streamlined and toned abdominal muscles, which is very consistent with the mainstream aesthetics. Even big hands and feet are not a flaw. Although they are not the type with slender lower limbs, all outstanding male swimmers are very tall. Excellent, so the legs still look longer than ordinary people.

Female swimmers are different. Their hunky-backed figure with big hands and feet is definitely not in line with mainstream aesthetics, especially the long upper body and short lower body, which makes them appear short and chubby, and it is generally difficult to grow a good-looking oval face with such a frame. As a result, female swimmers generally have poor looks and bad figures.

This is not a phenomenon unique to China, it is the same all over the world.

Male swimming stars have no shortage of endorsements and have many female fans, making it easy for them to gain both fame and fortune.

However, most of the female swimming stars have no endorsements, let alone male fans. Even if there is a room full of medals, they can only watch them by themselves, which is very tragic.

After Shen Lang received Wu Jie's instruction, he immediately acted like a young lady with no scheming, innocent and sunny attitude, trying his best to make everyone feel his warm and spring-breathing smile.

This is very scheming, it sounds like green tea duck, or a better term should be "idol"?

After breakfast, it’s formal training.

There are no big competitions this year, but next year there will be the Asian Games and the World Championships. The national team will start preparing for these two events after the New Year.

Shen Lang learned through his teammates that the national team's daily training duration is set to 6 hours based on different events. This training intensity is quite high.

He is special because he is the youngest member of the national team. The previous youngest one is already 5 years old. The coaching staff does not know his physical condition and performance, so they need to find out his background first before making a decision. What kind of training volume should be arranged for him?

Shen Lang warmed up by the pool before conducting the test, and then swam a few laps in the water to familiarize himself with the venue.

At this moment, many team members around the pool are discussing this new teammate.

"His figure is so beautiful, not even a trace of fat!"

"Yes, they are all streamlined muscles. How did you train them?"

"It's really scary to have such a figure at the age of 4!"

"Do you think he lied about his age?"

"It seems to me like, how could a 4-year-old be able to practice like this? Even if he says he is 5 years old, I have some doubts."

"..."

These voices, either nymphomaniac or lemon, fully demonstrate the attitudes of different groups of people towards Shen Lang.

"You are good at the 00-meter and 200-meter butterfly and freestyle, so let's swim the 00-meter freestyle first."

Liu Guangzu is a coach from Shanghai. He has the information sent from the Shanghai team and the measurement data just now, and is ready to feel it out first.

"I'm ready and can start at any time."

Shen Lang hasn't trained in the water for three days, but his physical condition can fully meet the competition requirements.

Liu Guangzu nodded and put the whistle in his mouth. He held a stopwatch in his hand that could only be accurate to 0.2 seconds, and stared at Shen Lang who was ready.

"beep!"

When the whistle blew, Shen Lang pushed hard and entered the water beautifully. His reaction speed was very fast!

Liu Guangzu also pressed the stopwatch at the same time, and then followed Shen Lang to observe by the pool.

Shen Lang's actions as soon as he entered the water already made many team members marvel, because this is a long-standing weakness of domestic athletes. His reaction to entering the water is always slow and he habitually shrinks back.

But this is not because Chinese players are slow to react, but because there is a gap in physical talent. They need to exert full force when pushing off the wall to ensure sufficient underwater propulsion. The first-class players in Europe and the United States usually have an advantage in this link.

Often they are ahead by a certain distance at the starting stage.

Shen Lang's performance in the starting stage was very similar to that of European and American athletes. After entering the water, many people were even more eye-catching because he did not use the traditional freestyle kick underwater, but used the butterfly kick, which is commonly known as

"Dolphin Legs".

This action immediately aroused controversy. In the freestyle style of the 1970s and 1980s, almost no one would use the "dolphin kick" in the starting phase.

But I have to say that Shen Lang's transition from starting to entering the water was perfect, and he dived 13 to 14 meters underwater in one breath, which is very close to the 5-meter limit stipulated by FINA.

No one in the Chinese swimming team can swim underwater for so long, because propelling underwater is a test of kicking ability. Most people have to float up within ten meters. Otherwise, if the propulsion force is not enough, the water will fall.

The speed of swimming is not as fast as swimming on the water.

After Shen Lang came out of the water, his kicks and arm strokes were still very powerful. He also used straight-arm paddling movements that were rare in this era and were more energy-consuming.

This movement allowed him to stay in a completely horizontal posture when swimming forward. Not only did he not sway from side to side, but he also did not rise and fall together. All parts of his body seemed to be a whole, and he continued to move through the water like a dolphin.

Liu Guangzu paid more attention to things. He followed Shen Lang by the pool. You could clearly see that Shen Lang was basically symmetrical on both sides when he rowed his arms. His kicking method was very powerful. The water almost flowed over his head and was in contact with him.

Unlike most domestic players who use 2 kicks, he can actually use 4 kicks.

Such technical and physical talent made him a little short of breath. He was sure that no one in China had such perfect swimming style and technique, and he had never seen anyone with such a wonderful swimming performance including in international competitions.

Shen Lang quickly swam the first fifty meters, and the upcoming half-way turn was another key step in measuring the player's level.

Liu Guangzu stared at Shen Lang in the water. He clearly saw that when the little guy turned, his trunk, hips and shoulders were all in sync, and these parts were still on the same plane.

This is another very remarkable performance. No player in the national team can achieve such a perfect turn, because it requires the use of all the core muscles of the trunk to complete, and requires extremely outstanding coordination, as well as various parts of the body.

Only with strong core strength can you do it.

Shen Lang didn't know that Liu Guangzu had such a high opinion of him, otherwise he would have accused the coach of having too little knowledge.

His four kicks were an incredible performance in Liu Guangzu's eyes, but thirty years later, top players would already be kicking six times.

The completion of this turn was also very average. Compared with those first-class players thirty years later, it was only 50 points at most.

This is mainly because he is too young and many skills can only become better after his physical fitness reaches the standard.

The swimming pool of the national swimming team is designed in accordance with the standards of international competitions. The length is the standard 50 meters. So the 00-meter competition is a round trip, and the second half is when a player's true strength is tested.

Although Shen Lang's physical talents have been greatly improved after upgrading, due to age restrictions, there is still a lot of room for improvement in various attributes.
