133 Reckless Perseverance

Like a switch being flipped on, Zhang Lin was overtaken on the turn, the swimmer from the Hubei team took the lead, followed by the Beijing team then the Fujian team.

With energy he couldn't match, they all shot forward and in a blink of an eye and Zhang Lin fell into fourth.

As Zhang Lin came back for the last 50m and touched the wall, Lu Zhibin dived in instantly.

In the preliminaries, Lu Zhibin was eventually overtaken by Ning Xuantao after underestimating him.

This time, he was determined not to make a similar mistake, as he used all his strength. After entering the water, he ignored everything and rushed forward.

Lu Zhibin, who had just won the 50m gold medal and the 100m silver medal for the Asian Games, was quite powerful.

He was the freshest member of the team, so they were somewhat reliant on him to stay in the race and gain a lead.

At this point, with his full on rush, the distance from the Hubei swimming team and the Beijing team was being closed.

This change attracted a burst of cheers from the audience.

After 50 meters, Lu Zhibin had overtaken the swimmer for the Fujian taim and the swimmer from the Beijing team, ranking second.

After the turn, Lu Zhibin successfully overtook the Hubei team after 10 meters and came into first.

Shen Qing nodded with satisfaction. He had changed Lu Zhibin from fourth stick to the second in order to stimulate him and make him work harder.

In the end, with his superior strength, Lu Zhibin not only recovered 1st place but also extended his lead by a small margin.

The audience seeing this reversal felt a surge of adrenaline.

In third stick for the Zhejiang Province was Sun Yang.

Sun Yang had rather rapid acceleration so Shen Qing placed him in third as insurance for Tang Yan.

After Sun Yang launched into the water, he sprinted the first 50 meters and his lead was expanded a little. After the turn he had already extended his lead to more than twice than before.

At this moment, the Fujian team overtook the Beijing team and moved into third place.

The situation in the pool was constantly changing, and the audience was all for it.

Especially the audience in the front row, their throats were becoming sore from screaming and shouting.

The female fans on the sidelines especially lost it, cheering and awing again and again.

Sun Yang's strength and handsome appearance was like a magnet.

"Sun Yang is indeed a prodigy for the ages." A commentator said impressed by Sun Yang's performance.

So far they were being proved wrong by the Zhejiang Team.

However, just as the commentator finished his sentence, there was a sudden change in the pool.

Sun Yang, who had always maintained a leading position and even gradually expanded his advantage suddenly stopped and there was a look of pain on his face.

This change happened too suddenly and even the cheers of the audience stopped.

The audience couldn't understand what was happening.

Tang Yan seeing Sun Yang's expression, swore in his heart.

Sun Yang had cramped up!

At the end of the 800m, Sun Yang's exhaustion was clear for all to see, he had directly layed on the ground for more than a minute.

To clinch the victory from Tang Yan had cost a lot.

Now he had taken on the relay as well, on the same day. It seemed it was too much for his body.

Sun Yang had cramped up and naturally the swimmers in the other lanes lunged forward seeing this opportunity, paying no heed to him.

Sun Yang's lead was swallowed up in a blink of an eye, the Hubei team and the Fujian team overtook him in an instant.

Shen Qing's face became pale, he was running towards the pool.

This sudden situation directly sentenced the Zhejiang team to defeat.

To him now the game no longer mattered, Sun Yang was his main focus.

Sun Yang was grinding his teeth trying to overcome his cramp, his whole leg had seized up.

It was an extremely severe cramp, all the muscles in his left leg seemed to have locked up.

During all this, the Beijing team passed followed by the Sichuan provincial team.

"What a catastrophe for the Zhenjiang Team, what a pity an absolute pity!" the commentator commented.

The audience couldn't help but feel regret. Sun Yang's cramps didn't only mean that he couldn't finish the race but that they wouldn't get to see Tang Yan's performance.

"What!"

However, at this time, Sun Yang in the pool snorted, then turned directly gritting his teeth and completely disregarding his seized up leg, relying on one-leg he forced himself to swim towards the pool wall, but his speed drastically fell.

The audience was shocked by the scene.

What kind of perseverance was this.

Tang Yan was also shocked by Sun Yang's actions.

He was truly something extraordinary to brave through the pain in such a manner.

Shen Qing's face fell even further and he began to shout for Sun Yang to stop.

Pushing forward was just recklessly asking for injuries but Sun Yang whether he heard him or not, pushed ahead.

In the end, Sun Yang grit his teeth and with one last kick reached to touch the wall.

As soon as Sun Yang touched the wall, Tang Yan dived into the water.

There were tears in Sun Yang's eyes from the pain but he had a content smile on his face.

Although Sun Yang had forged ahead, he was already last among the seven swimmers.

At this point, even the previously last place Liaoning provincial team had surpassed them.

And from the foremost swimmer Ning Xuantao, he was behind by at least six to seven meters!

After Tang Yan entered the water, he felt his pores were opened up in an instant and a refreshing feeling fell over him.

He was full of adrenaline.

The reason for his excitement was due to the shocking performance of Sun Yang.

Seeing him recklessly push ahead seemed to erupt something in him.

The cheers of the audience disappeared from his ears. There was only one thought in his heart, catching up!

He had to catch up!

Ning Xuantao was in first place at this time and he had pulled away and gained a lead.

The Fujian team and the Sichuan team had already fallen behind leaving only the Beijing swimmer Chen Zuo who was half a body's distance behind him.

Tang Yan was chasing, chasing after them all!

He quickly hit the water and was off.

20 meters.

Liaoning team, overtaken!

30 meters.

Guangdong team, overtaken!

Within a short distance of 30 meters, Tang Yan surpassed them both.

His speed was like that of a flying fish, incredible!

Tang Yan took fifth place all the way from seventh and after the 50m turn, he took fourth place from the Sichuan provincial team!

With this, he was only half a foot away from the top three!

"My God, this... this! This..." The live commentator became incoherent.

Not only the commentator, but the coaches of the provincial teams all stood up together.

His speed was simply inhuman!
