They promised to win the swimming championship, but what's with this "Grand Slam" thi

Chapter 6 Team Test!

"27.06 seconds... Not bad, another personal best!"

PB stands for Personal Best.

Zhu Ying, holding a stopwatch, squatted down and smiled at Wu Jin, who was slumped over from exhaustion.

Wu Jin waved her hand: "I'm not swimming anymore!"

Is it easy for me to gain experience? I've already swam with Sun Yang four times, but the experience reward keeps decreasing.

Furthermore, Wu Jin discovered a minor issue with the skill: it had a 1-minute cooldown.

In other words, skills cannot be used indefinitely.

It can only be played once every minute.

Wu Jin really wanted to accelerate for one second, then do another second... to infinitely exploit the bug, but unfortunately... he failed.

He estimated that it would take about a minute for the skill to reactivate and be released.

In the 50-meter freestyle, where the outcome is decided in just a few dozen seconds, there is obviously only one chance available.

At 800 meters and 1500 meters, we could try releasing it multiple times to see the effect.

But he's not good at long distances at all.

boom!
At that moment, from the adjacent swimming lane came the sound of Sun Yang's unwilling splashing.

Lost again!
They were no match for him at all, and were instantly killed by more than a body length.

Not only did he swim slower and slower, but Wu Jin also kept getting further and further away from him.

I lost four games in a row!
I just can't get over this.

"Alright, you really think you can win at any distance?"

"Let's rest for a bit, then go do some anaerobic exercise!"

Zhu Ying glanced at Sun Yang and strongly sensed her disciple's unwillingness; this guy wanted to be number one in every distance, even the 800 meters and 1500 meters.

"No, no, Lao Wu, give me a 100!"

Sun Yang acted as if he hadn't heard Zhu Ying's words, and swam to Wu Jin's side to beg, like a piece of sticky candy.

Wu Jin quickly waved her hand: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Come on, okay? Let me win this time!"

"Just one win, please, otherwise I'll be devastated..."

Wu Jin: "..."

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.

"I'm not coming!"

"I'm exhausted..."

Wu Jin made a move to get up and go ashore, but Sun Yang was clearly fed up: "I've already swum 50 meters with you four times, can't you swim 100 meters with me once?"

This child's emotional intelligence is truly impressive.

The signs were already evident when he was 12 years old.

"Okay, okay, hurry up!"

Once Wu Jin reached the shore, she immediately prepared to swim to the other side from the finish line.

Sun Yang grinned at Zhu Ying, all smiles, and said, "Coach, watch me!"

"Swim well, let me check if you've improved these past two days!"

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Sun Yang's face immediately turned sour. Swimming 50 meters four times in a row was incredibly exhausting, even for an ironman like him.

How could there be any progress?

It's already good enough that they didn't collapse there.

"No way, Sister Zhu, I was just joking with Wu Jin!"

Sun Yang said weakly.

"Who told you swimming competitions are a joke?"

"Give me the competition!"

Wu Jin: "..."

Sun Yang: "..."

Zhu Ying resumed her role as coach, and Wu Jin and Sun Yang had no choice but to stand on the starting block, ready to give it their all in the swim.

Wu Jin, of course, was already exhausted.

Therefore, this time, Sun Yang won the victory with an absolute advantage of more than two body lengths ahead of him.

This guy's stamina and endurance are far superior to Wu Jin's; he has absolute athletic talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to specialize in long-distance running in the future, which is a sport that only physical prodigies can train in.

However, Sun Yang was not happy at all.

Wu Jin, standing next to him, was even more miserable than him.

"One person adds two sets of dynamic stretching and a 50-meter sprint!"

"Wu Jin, double it!"

"I'll make you play passively!"

Wu Jin swam 100 meters in 1 minute and 01 second... He really did his best.

How can it be called negative?

Sun Yang wasn't much better off; even with his excellent stamina after swimming four times, he couldn't possibly match his personal best performance from his first swim. "It's all your fault! Why did you even bother with the competition?"

Wu Jin said to Sun Yang in an annoyed tone, and the two of them were doing extra training in a miserable manner.

"No, Wu Jin, didn't you say you were going to compete with me in a 50-point contest?"

Sun Yang realized something; this kid wasn't stupid.

"Haha, you can refuse, right?"

Wu Jin was panting heavily after her dynamic stretching exercise.

"Damn it, you're shameless!"

"What? No competition means nothing will happen?"

"Get lost! How was I supposed to know the tigress was serious?"

"..."

"Tiger Mother" is Zhu Ying's nickname in private. These days, physical education students do often do silly things when they're bored.

Wu Jin and Sun Yang were bickering and training, neither willing to admit defeat.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ying received a notice from the school that the swimming coaches needed to hold an emergency meeting, apparently for the upcoming National Swimming Championships.

***
Half an hour later, at Chen Jinglun Sports School, in the conference room.

Wu Xiaojun, the head coach in charge of the entire swimming program at the sports school, was sitting there. When Zhu Ying and two assistant coaches came in, almost all the swimming coaches were already there.

"Okay, is everyone here?"

Wu Xiajun glanced at the coaches present.

"I have a few things to say!"

"People from the province are coming the day after tomorrow; the provincial team is coming to recruit a few players for the championship!"

"Go back and hand in the names of the students who have met the standards, and we'll arrange for them to be tested together later!"

"..."

Wu Xiajun spoke to the coaches present.

This female coach will become very famous in the future. She is not only the mentor of many Olympic champions, but also the core promoter of the "golden age" of swimming in Hangzhou. Her coaching philosophy and team management model have profoundly influenced the subsequent development of Chinese swimming.

Even some of the provincial swimming coaches actually came from Chen Jinglun's team, such as Zhang Yadong, the current head coach of Zhejiang Province, and He Xinzhong, the head coach of Guangdong Province.

"This championship is a great training opportunity, and Luo Xuejuan and the others will participate!"

"The Athens Olympics are just around the corner, and the lineup for this year's Barcelona World Championships is almost certainly the same as that for next year's Olympics!"

"Our goal for this Chen Jinglun Championship is still to produce at least 5 finalists!"

"Let's get to it these next couple of days. Any promising talents can be given opportunities!"

As Wu Xiaoyun spoke, her eyes turned towards Zhu Ying: "Sun Yang, find some time to give him another 400-meter test. I feel that this child has potential and is suitable for middle and long distances. If he can meet the standard, let him participate as well!"

"Okay, Sister Xia!"

Zhu Ying had been observing Sun Yang during this time, and it seemed that his physical abilities were indeed getting better and better as the boy developed.

The developmental stage has affected him, but the improvement in endurance and muscle mass could allow him to try to reach 400 and 800 meters!

"Okay, actually it's nothing!"

"Recently, we've been mainly preparing for the championship; the provincial team needs people to participate in the training camp..."

Chen Jinglun Sports School can be described as Zhejiang Province's backyard, and the two parties have a deep cooperative relationship.

The meeting was almost over, and everyone returned to their posts. Zhu Ying walked up to Wu Xiajun and whispered, "Sister Xia, there's something I need to tell you!"

"Say!"

Wu Xiajun stood up, showing particular favor to this sports school graduate who had been recruited in the past two years.

This young girl has her own unique approach to coaching.

With her boldness and determination, Sun Yang was a promising swimming talent that she discovered and strongly encouraged to stay.

The whole school knows about this little genius.

"Wu Jin, the student I taught before, might be suited for the 50-meter dash!"

Zhu Ying told Wu Xiaoyun about what happened today, and Wu Xiaoyun frowned: "50?"

"Yes, it should be able to hold steady at 27!"

"So much improvement?"

Wu Xiajun's calm expression revealed a hint of surprise: "Our school doesn't have any students who are consistently above 27, right?"

"Yes, I've tested it several times, and it's always over 27 seconds, even close to 26. I can give it a shot!"

"This is a good thing!"

Wu Xiaoyun looked up. If what Zhu Ying said was true, then she was about to have another promising swimmer among her students.

Regardless of whether Wu Jin can achieve greater success in the future, as long as he can break the 27-second barrier, he has already surpassed everyone else at least in his age group.

Moreover, the path to becoming a professional swimmer is already beckoning him.

He can now make a living as a professional.

"Let him try the test in two days!"

Wu Xiajun thought for a moment and then said something to Zhu Ying.
