Shen Lang's performance in the 100-meter freestyle is already very good, but as a sport with insufficient influence, even if he wins in the end, it will not attract much attention abroad.

Unless we can win the championship in two projects, or even three or four projects in the same event, then we can expand our influence to a global scale.

Of course, if he can really win the championship, even if it is just a championship, as a historic breakthrough in Chinese swimming, Shen Lang will still be famous domestically and will become popular in Asia.

Because he has a good appearance and is a "great cartoonist".

The popular book "Tuna", which is popular all over the country, will be released in Hong Kong and Macau after the World Cup. It has even been well received by the Japanese comics industry. Many Japanese comic publishers hope to obtain Japanese distribution rights.

But there is one person who doesn't like this comic very much.

Now when it comes to "Captain Tsubasa", Yoichi Takahashi will be very depressed, because the "Korean Tsubasa" he submitted before the World Cup was rejected by "Weekly Shōnen Jump" for the following reasons: plot, style of painting, and character design

It is similar to "Captain Soccer" and is suspected of plagiarism.

This made Takahashi Yang so angry that he immediately asked someone to find the book "Tuna", but he didn't get it until the World Cup was almost over.

"Football Player" has been published to its first chapter and volume 4, which is several times longer than his manuscripts.

Takahashi Yoichi immediately became frustrated after reading it. Although the plot of this comic is not very similar to his work, the rhythm, style of painting, and character design are indeed very similar, and even the protagonist is somewhat similar.

The most annoying thing is that for these similar parts, his works are somewhat different.

If Wu Jie knew the depression in Takahashi Yoichi's heart, he would definitely have laughed, because the plot, rhythm, painting style, and characters were all localized according to the original version and then improved!

After reading these four volumes of comics, Takahashi Yoichi's self-confidence took a lot of hits!

But the most helpless thing is that the world view of "Little Football Players" is not fictional. There are many real people in this comic, such as Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, Lin Yaodong, members of the Chinese national team, etc. Even Luda came out to fool him.

The protagonist goes to play basketball.

In short, this comic uses his real name and draws his real appearance. This alone makes the sense of immersion much stronger than his pure YY.

The ending of his comic book is for the protagonists to defeat the Chinese team once, gain the respect of Chinese football, and then be ranked first in Asia on the World Cup stage.

But in reality, the Chinese team not only made it to the World Cup stage, but also achieved a dream result of fifth place. Japan has not defeated China for more than half a century, and the gap between the two sides is still widening.

Yoichi Takahashi himself knows that it was impossible for Japan to defeat the Chinese team in the past, and it will be even more impossible in the future.

This situation is tragic enough, but the worst part is that China has a football comic that is superior in all aspects and came out before him, and now it makes him look like a plagiarist.

When Takahashi Yang thought of this, he once again became autistic. He felt that he should not touch the subject of "football", and now he could no longer paint at all.

"To hell with Japanese football, hell with that Shen Lang, hell with all of them!"

The more Yoichi Takahashi thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he went crazy and tore the manuscript into pieces and threw them all into the toilet and flushed them away.

Shen Lang didn't know that the football cartoon that had influenced a generation of Japanese people had been quietly killed by him. He was now preparing for the men's 100-meter butterfly preliminaries in the evening.

"Butterfly swimming" has been the most ornamental swimming style since its birth. When athletes enter the water, they are as beautiful as butterflies flying in the air.

However, this swimming style is also the most labor-intensive and naturally relies more on physical fitness. However, the technical requirements are not low at all, so it has always been the most influential swimming style in the swimming world.

China's butterfly swimming has not produced any results until forty years later. This is also a common weapon used by European and American media, including Japanese media, to ridicule the Chinese swimming community. The voice-over is nothing more than saying that the Chinese race is not good, and it is almost like calling the sick man of East Asia.

In this game, no one cared about the slightly thinner Shen Lang, but he was very present from the beginning of the game.

Shen Lang's group includes the men's 100-meter butterfly bronze medalist from the last Olympic Games, Davide Lopez from Spain.

This guy is naturally the favorite to win the championship. He took the lead in entering the water with a starting time of 0.68 seconds.

But Shen Lang's movements were faster. He ranked first in this group with 0.66 seconds. Then he used the extreme dive in the first 25 meters and combined with the "dolphin kick" kicking technique used after going upstream to surpass other players.

Behind him.

After all, Davide Lopez was an Olympic bronze medalist. Although he didn't notice the performance of other players and even had some energy left, he still caught up before turning around halfway through.

However, Shen Lang's mid-turn turn has always been his technical strength. He used a perfect turn to overtake David Lopez again.

Unfortunately, the 16-year-old's body is still not as explosive as the adult players. Shen Lang's speed still dropped a bit, and he was eventually hit the wall by David Lopez with a slight advantage.

But even if he failed to win the first place in the group, the coaches of the other seven players in the group still looked in disbelief, because Shen Langyou ranked second in the group, and his time was 53.89 seconds!

Feng Jingyuan raised his hands and high-fived each other with the coaches and team leaders around him.

The current long-pool world record for the men's 100-meter butterfly is 53.31 seconds, and the Asian record is 54.02 seconds. Shen Lang's result has surpassed the Asian record, and is no longer out of reach of the world record.

This can be seen from the fact that he and Davide Lopez hit the wall almost at the same time. Even if the latter did not show his full strength in the preliminaries, Shen Lang's performance was surprising enough.

The contestants and coaches in this group also secretly remembered Shen Lang's name.

This kid can swim with such good results at the age of 16, and he will definitely be a top player in this event in the future!

"What a surprising result, you swam well!"

Davide Lopez didn't know that he was almost surpassed by a 16-year-old boy in the water. After finishing the game, he realized that he almost finished second in the group.

His preliminary time was 53.79 seconds, and the gap between the two was indeed very small.

"Thanks!"

Shen Lang didn't say much. This was already his personal best. It would be difficult to break 53.80 seconds during this World Championships.

So don't think about medals, he just hopes to enter a final.

A total of 68 athletes participated in the men's 100-meter butterfly this time, and they were divided into 9 groups for the preliminaries. The top 16 also entered the semi-finals.

Shen Lang's group was Group 5. After waiting for more than an hour, the competition for all groups ended.

The Chinese swimming team is anxiously waiting for the final result. This time, the Chinese team only sent Shen Lang to participate in the 100-meter butterfly. He is the only Chinese swimmer in this swimming style.

"Old Feng, the results are out!"

"What rank?"

The leader of the Chinese swimming team was responsible for getting the preliminary results from the event organizer. Feng Jing saw that he was back and asked from afar.

"10th place! This is our best result, and also the best result in Asia. Shen Lang broke two Asian records in a row!"

The team leader's face was full of smiles. Shen Lang not only broke China's best record during this trip, but also broke the Asian record.

There are a total of 8 Asian athletes participating in the 100-meter butterfly at this World Championships. Shen Lang's performance beat all Asian athletes.

Shen Lang shook his head. What he hoped was to enter the top eight, which at least meant he had a chance to reach the finals. But now it seemed that he could only reach the semi-finals, and there was little hope of reaching the finals.

The next day, the preliminaries of the 200-meter and 400-meter events continued.

Shen Lang's recovery ability is now very good. Even if he doesn't borrow cards, participating in four competitions will not make him feel very tired.

The first thing this morning was the 200-meter freestyle preliminaries, which is currently his second best event, mainly because of his excellent underwater turning skills. There are three wall-turning movements in the 200-meter competition, which allows him to make up for it.

Some physical disadvantages.

In the end, he once again swam his best time in this event, a new Asian record of 1:48.28 seconds.

This is nearly one second faster than the original Asian record of 1:49.25 seconds, but there are too many masters in this event, so this result is still only enough for him to enter the semi-finals in 11th place, and 80% of the time he will not make it to the finals.

Shen Lang still has a lot of room for improvement technically, but he failed to show most of it in this World Championships.

Firstly, even if you use all your trump cards, you may not be able to get into the top three. Secondly, the influence and benefits of the Olympic Games are much higher than those of the World Championships.

There are still two years left before the Olympics. If he tries his best at the World Championships, his results will certainly be better, but it will be hard not to let people notice. After all, he is only 16 years old.

Two years are enough for European and American swimming teams to explore some of his skills, which will definitely reduce his technical advantages significantly.

The technology he uses now is not ahead of the times, it just has some of its own characteristics and innovations. In this way, even if he can reach the finals, it will not attract too many people's attention, and it will not attract others to study his every technical move.

In the 200-meter butterfly preliminaries held in the afternoon, Shen Lang also swam a good time of 1:58.05 seconds.

This is his current best event. This result is nearly one second higher than the original Asian record of 1:58.74 seconds. Although there is still some gap between the world record of 1:56.14 seconds, this gap is enough for him to enter the top eight.

Positioned.

In the end, Shen Lang ranked 8th among the 54 contestants and entered the main competition with the top eight results in the preliminaries for the first time.

But this breakthrough result, which made the Chinese swimming team want to tell everyone about it, could not even beat the news that Li Junwei and Zhen Aiguo were going to Europe for trial training.

These two did not have many opportunities to perform in the World Cup, and their performance after playing was average.

However, their talent is quite good, and they are young, so they have good qualifications to be brought to Europe. At worst, they are the main players of mid-range teams in the five major leagues.

After the World Cup, they accepted invitations from several European teams for trial training. It is not certain whether they can stay in the end, but even this kind of news is better than Shen Lang breaking four Asian records in the World Championships.

Bigger.

Wu Jie had already left for Japan at this time. As soon as he got off the plane, he received important news that Matthaus had transferred to Bayern for a price of 3 million marks.

But this news did not surprise him. Last season, he suggested that the team buy Matthaus.

If Bayern doesn't make some noise in the transfer market now, Wu Jie really won't sign the new contract easily.

He just wants to force Bayern to spend money to strengthen the team, because many opponents are crazy about reinforcements this season, and he may overturn without good helpers.

The most obvious change in European football this summer is that the flow of players from various countries has increased, and at the same time, more South American players are going to Europe to play.

Before Juventus bought Lin Yaodong, they first acquired Boniek, and then signed Platini.

Neither of these two are Italian players, but they are both famous world stars.
