Chapter 156: Tang Hao, who is that?

For the first 100 meters, Tang Hao did not rush like the championship because of the 4x100-meter relay preliminaries in the afternoon.
In contrast, Tunisian Meroli is very eye-catching. He has been in the leading position all the way since he first grabbed the first position, and has opened a gap of half a position with the second.
Tang Hao is now in the fourth position in the group.
"This Merori is really strong, it seems that his final score will rank among the top five finalists!"
"Sun Yang is still on the scene at this time. I don't know if I will make tactical adjustments to the finals after seeing this player's status."
"Tang Hao is still struggling to catch up and see the momentum is very promising to enter the finals at night."
"It's hard to say that the players in this competition played very well. Even Park Tae-hwan is only ranked fifth among all players. Although Tang Hao performed well in the championship game before, the swimmers' performance is very good. Today, he doesn’t seem to be at his best."
After the game started, the commentators on the sidelines also discussed the form on the field.
"Day by day, come on!"
Seeing that Tang Hao was in a backward position, the audience who supported him on the sidelines couldn't help but cheer him on.
In the swimming pool, Tang Hao is swimming in the most labor-saving way at this time. The frequency of his breathing is 4 times less than others. This frequency of watering is generally only used in the 800-meter competition. However, with the power of the white strip in the waves, he still maintains the distance to other players, and he is still slowly catching up.
At this time, the audience cheered for him. After turning around 200 meters, he began to increase the frequency of water, from 4 times to the normal 6 times.
With this change, the effect is quite obvious. Tang Hao started to catch up with the audience's naked eyes.
"Tang Hao is accelerating! It seems that he is keeping his energy in the first half!" The side commentator said with excitement. Although he had some doubts about Tang Hao's performance before, he still looked very much after seeing Tang Hao accelerate. excitement.
"He surpassed the third Australian John Williams!"
"He is still accelerating, he surpassed the second Canadian George Wells!"
"He is chasing Meroli, the last opponent in the group! My God!" As Tang Hao surpassed his opponents one by one, the commentator was a climax after another.
"It seems that our Tang Hao played a psychological war with the opponent, not only cheated the opponent, but we were all cheated." The commentator also laughed at this time.
Tang Hao in the swimming pool was also very excited at this time, not because he overtook his opponents this time, but because after such a period of time, he found that his level and the championship game had another qualitative leap.
Originally, he chose to upgrade the power of the white bars in the waves in order to better grasp the frequency of 9 water draws. However, after the upgrade, his water skiing distance and physical fitness have been greatly improved, even if it is the same as others 6 at this time. It's also easier to fetch water.
Merori led the front 250 meters, and when he turned around, he found that the player who was separated from him was chasing after him, and he was surprised.
When the 300 meters turned around, he found that the player was Chinese, and the surprise in his heart was even stronger.
There are few well-known swimmers in China, and the freestyle is even more pitiful. If you want to talk about it, Sun Yang, who likes to play in the backcourt, is one of the best. This is Meroli’s only opponent in his heart. In fact, he didn't know the name of the Chinese player who is catching up with him a little bit.
But after feeling the threat, he chose to start accelerating in advance, and the frequency of fetching water increased significantly.
In the last 100 meters, Meroli tried his best and finally led Tang Hao with one hand to touch the wall first. After touching the wall, the whole person almost collapsed in the swimming pool.
Tang Hao was blushing and not beating. When he turned around in the last 50 meters, he already knew that he had obtained the finals in the evening in advance, so he chose to retain his physical strength.
Wait until the player's score is displayed on the display.
Meroli was 3 minutes, 45 seconds and 11 minutes, because all the players' games were over, he finally ranked fourth among all players.
Tang Hao's score was 3 minutes 45 seconds 31, ranking fifth among all players.
Counting Sun Yang, the first in the preliminaries, in this way, the 400-meter freestyle historic two Chinese players broke into the finals together at night.
This result also made the audience full of expectations for the evening game.
The swimming schedule was thought to be compact. At 12:30 noon, the 4X100m freestyle preliminary was followed.
There are two groups in the preliminary round, and the top four of the group reach the final.
This time the 100-meter relay, the Chinese team sent the best four-member group, Ning Zetao, Lu Zhibin, Sun Yang and Tang Hao.
In the end, with the excellent performance of Sun Yang and Tang Hao in the second half, the Chinese team ranked fourth in the group and advanced to the final in the evening with the seventh overall score.
Because the women's 400 and 4X100 freestyle didn't make it to the finals, this made the men's two events seem to attract much attention.
Unlike the relatively bland daytime competition, at night, the atmosphere in the entire venue has changed a lot. The biggest difference is the media. The media from various countries come to the venue early and various broadcasts are also in place for the first time.
There is only one reason for this apparent change, because the finals of the evening will give birth to four gold medals on the first day of the game.
The Chinese media are also very excited at this time, because the first final in the evening is the 400-meter freestyle, which is the Chinese team's sprint medal, and even the gold medal's biggest hope.
Because the game ended early in the afternoon, many players went to the pool in advance to adapt to the venue.
They didn't come up from the pool until an hour before the game.
This is the last chance for the media interview before the game. As soon as the players came up, the media swarmed up.
The German star ~EbookFREE.me~ Paul Biddleman, the world record holder of the meter freestyle, was the first to go ashore. As soon as he went up, he was surrounded by reporters.
"Paul, tonight you will be greeted by the double envelop from Park Tae-hwan and Sun Yang. Do you have any thoughts?" the first Chinese reporter who seized a favorable position asked.
"Sun played very well this morning. Park played well in the morning, but he will definitely play well in the finals, but no matter who his opponent is, my goal is the same as before I came here, for this gold medal." Delman also seemed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by spotlights and said with a smile.
"Are you impressed by another player from China every day? He defeated Sun Yang in the championship game not long ago and swam 3 minutes and 45 seconds in the preliminary round." Another Chinese reporter asked.
"Jesus (Jesus and Sun are the same word)?" Biddleman looked blank.
"Sunday Tang." The reporter emphasized again that Biddleman still didn't respond, and he finally said, "Tang Hao."
"Tang Hao?" Biddleman shook his head. "Who is that?" (To be continued.)
