"This is not just a program recording, but also a competition. We hope that through your celebrity team, we can showcase the elegance of our dragon boat race and let more people like dragon boat rowing. So I hope that you will not only stick to the finish line, but also work hard to get excellent results. During the competition, your persistence, team spirit, and willpower will have a great impact on the results of the competition.”
The coach looked at Chen Chichi and said.
"Try rowing again, familiarize yourself with the track, and try that turn.”
Everyone put on their life jackets and sat on the dragon boat to try rowing.
During the trial rowing, his mind was filled with the coach's words.
"Straighten your legs, bend over, and paddle down!”
"Zu Lan, the drumming is too fast!"
"Zu Lan, the drumming is too slow!"
"Persevere!"
……
During the halftime interval, the coach said to everyone.
"Too slow! The other teams rowed at least 60 oars in a minute, but the champion team rowed 90 oars in a minute. Even if you don't compete with the champion team, you're still far behind.”
"Also, during the trial rowing process, baby was obviously lacking in stamina and could not keep up with the speed.”
"Chichi's waist hasn't gone down much, and her back is straight.”
"Also, Zu Lan, you have to control your drumming. When you're on a curve, you have to slow down. When you're on a straight road, you have to be fast.”
Baby heard his coach's words and looked at his injured hands. He was a little depressed.
Should he withdraw?
However, he was really unwilling.
"Because of the baby's weight, even though I tried my best to balance the weight when assigning the left and right paddles, the boat is still easy to tilt. The baby only weighs 46 kilograms, which is too light. During the trial rowing process, you also felt that the boat was very shaky, so Xu Mu needed to work harder to balance the boat.”
Coach Xu pointed out everyone's problems one by one and placed them in front of everyone.
"Coach, let's take a break and try again.”Xu Mu said.
"Why don't I quit? That way, Xu Mu will be the rower. He has great strength, and with a professional helmsman, you guys will have it easier.”
Baby said with a smile, but it was difficult to hide the disappointment in her heart.
Brother Chao and the others didn't say anything because Xu Mu was the most tired. However, they couldn't agree to let the baby leave.
As brothers who had been running for many years, they all knew how hard Baby worked.
"We are a team, a team, so we can't give up on any member. Coach, let's try again. I'll try to balance the boat with my own strength.”
Xu Mu said.
He looked at his reputation points. He still had more than 40,000. He could spend extravagantly and buy a helmsman skill.
However, Xu Mu looked at the Helmsman skill. The Basic Helmsman skill cost 10,000 Reputation Points, and the Intermediate Helmsman skill cost 1,000,000 Reputation Points.
What the f * ck?
It's just a helmsman skill. Is it so expensive?
Was it worth it to spend 10,000 reputation points on a beginner helmsman skill?
Xu Mu looked at his reputation points and then at everyone's disappointed expressions.
He gritted his teeth.
I bought it!
Helmsman skill, chop hand skill.
However, when he thought about how he might be able to use this skill after collecting all the treasure maps at the bottom of the sea, Xu Mu did not feel so distressed.
After everyone rested and recovered their strength, they continued training.
"Xu Mu, when you sit at the stern and cheer everyone up, don't say things like cheering or perseverance. Instead, say technical hints like kicking your legs, lowering your waist, and straightening your hands.”
"Alright."
Xu Mu sat at the stern. This way, his center of gravity was low, which was beneficial for him to control the balance of the ship.
Although it was only a beginner skill, Xu Mu's control of the ship had improved a lot.
Although he had learned a little before, he still relied on brute force. He had only begun to try using techniques now.
They tried another curve and another 50-meter straight. This time it was much better.
"This time, it was very good, especially the last 50 meters in a straight line.”the coach praised.
"Yay!"
"Hurry up and eat. After eating, take a rest. The competition will start in the afternoon. He remembered the feeling just now and rowed like that during the competition in the afternoon. It was really good.”
The morning's training had exhausted everyone's strength. When they ate, everyone wolfed down their food.
After dinner, everyone went back to rest for a while and prepared for the official match in the afternoon.
This year's Dragon Boat Race was quite grand. There were 16 teams representing the world's best universities, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, MIT, Zhejiang University, and Harvard University.
Everyone on the men's team was very excited to compete with the proud children of these international schools.
"I'm a little nervous."
"Me too. I want to go to the toilet."
"I'm both nervous and excited."
……
"Good luck, everyone. After two days of hard training, now is the time to be inspected.”
Everyone sat in their seats and rowed the dragon boat to the starting point to prepare for the race.
"3, 2, 1, beep…"
With a command, the oars entered the water.
" Straighten your legs, lower your waist, paddle deep into the water, and move in unison..." These commands seemed to have penetrated into the hearts of every member of the men's team.
At the same time as the men's team, the team from the University of Technology set off.
The men's team was a little behind at first, but with everyone's uniform slogans and movements, they quickly caught up with the team from the University of Technology.
"It's surpassed, it's surpassed! Great, don't relax, keep rowing! Lower your waist and kick!" Xu Mu shouted from behind.
Perhaps because of the athletes, their explosive power was still very strong. It didn't take long for them to row behind the Xi'an Jiao Tong University team. The two teams were only one dragon boat away.
"Hold on, don't rush. We can't overtake the curve.”Xu Mu saw that everyone was anxious and quickly reminded them.
It was very dangerous to overtake the curve. If they were not careful, the two dragon boats might collide and both teams might capsize.
The men's team slowed down and started to speed up again after passing the curve steadily.
"Bow down! Kick! Bow down! Kick!" Everyone shouted together.
"We are now in a straight line. Everyone, come on, paddle deeper and surpass the team in front.”Xu Mu said when he saw the team from Xi'an Jiao Tong University.
