Ping Pong Life

Chapter 21 Restart the Great Cycle

Wang Chao faintly realized that something was wrong, so he didn't say much at the moment, and started to eat madly.

In fact, the four dishes with the best appearance are all relatively poor, and the last dish of bacon with green peppers is relatively normal. This is probably because the fried bacon does not need any seasoning, and even if the cook wants to make mistakes, there is no chance.

Ten minutes later, Wang Chao ate a full plate, smiled at the cook, and said hello, but he didn't dare to say more, turned around and left.

The cook's face was originally smiling, but after Wang Chao walked a few steps, it turned into a cold snort, and the muttering sound was not too loud, just enough to reach Wang Chao's ears: "You hypocrite..."

Wang Chao paused, almost turning around to argue with the cook for [-] rounds.

"Do you know that these dishes of yours are all cheats. I was afraid that you would be sad, so I forced myself to finish eating."

"Not only do you not appreciate me? You even call me hypocritical?"

"Are you happy if I dump all the dishes in front of you?"

But at present, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and it is not suitable to start a war, so Wang Chao left quietly after all.

It wasn't until he returned to the dormitory and was ridiculed by Jiang Shan that he finally figured out what was going on with the cook.

That's a king.

The former coach of the national team, full of peaches and plums, later did not know what happened, and voluntarily applied to leave the national team. He didn't even want to be a coach, so he went to the training base in Jiangcheng City, Hubei Province, and became a cook.

It is said that when he came, even the top leaders of the Hubei provincial team were alarmed, and they personally invited him to coach the provincial team, but he refused.

Later, Luo Zhihong, the head coach of the Jiangcheng team, offered to step aside and asked him to coach the city team, but he also refused.

He doesn't want to be a coach, but he doesn't want to leave table tennis. He just wants to dawdle in the base, be a heartless cook, study various recipes, and watch the children play from a distance.

The reason why he chose the Jiangcheng team is also very simple, because this is his hometown.

This is the meaning of returning to the roots.

"Then, our team members suffered."

Jiang Shan said with a bitter face: "The dishes he cooks are very unpalatable, but they are all big dishes. At the beginning, many people were fooled. As long as they beat his dishes, he would stare at them and force them to finish eating, saying that food should not be wasted. .Once someone says his food is bad, he throws a tantrum."

"But I didn't say that his food is unpalatable today."

Wang Chao was a little puzzled: "I ate it all in front of him, but he said I was hypocritical."

"That's because...you are really hypocritical..." Jiang Shan complained: "I don't even know how you finished eating."

The two looked at each other, and after a long time, Wang Chao came to a conclusion: "So...he probably is just in a bad mood, so he should find someone to vent his anger on?"

……

The days of training were boring and fulfilling, and before I knew it, another three days passed.

Wang Chao has never touched the ball, but the training program has changed from back-and-forth running to long-distance running around the field. According to Wang Bin, when will he be able to run 5000 meters easily and when will he be allowed to officially practice the ball.

During this time, Wang Chao saw Tian Zhengguang again.

Tian Zhengguang is lifting iron.

He was fined not to touch the ball for a week, and he had completely lost hope of entering the main team, so he stayed in the gym all week, lifting weights frantically, and venting his anger.

When he saw Wang Chao, he was not surprised, but just stared at him, until Wang Chao's figure passed by the door of the gym and disappeared.

Wang Chao's attention was not on Tian Zhengguang, but on the cook.

Going to the cafeteria at noon the next day, he once again challenged the chef's new dishes "XJ Big Plate Chicken" and "Dried Rabbit Ding".

The meat quality of the former is very old. It should be a material problem. When I bought a broiler chicken, I bought it as an old chicken.

The latter has a slightly fishy smell, and it should be that they forgot to marinate with cooking wine, ginger, and green onions before frying.

But Wang Chao still ate them all.

He didn't intend to please the cook, but he really wanted to eat more big fish and meat to supplement the nutrition that had been missing for more than ten years.

His initial goal is to gain [-] pounds first, to reach the standard weight that an athlete should have.

According to the experience of previous lives, playing table tennis is very particular about the stability of the foot and the explosive power of the body, so it is actually the best to be a little fatter than the standard weight.

He is 1 meters tall, so it is ideal to gain weight to about 83 catties.

But the cook couldn't understand him very much, and felt that this new guy was too hypocritical and too patient, so he could eat up his own food.

So the cleaner Wang Chao ate, the more the cook felt that he was scheming and must have plans.

On the third day, when Wang Chao went to the window where the cook was to get food, the cook shook his hands and displayed the traditional skill of the kitchen masters. He knocked half of a spoonful of dry pot bullfrogs out, and finally fell into Wang Chao's dining room. There were only three pieces on the plate.

Wang Chao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't leave at all, and stood by the window with a plate in his hand, smiling and said: "Master, anyway, you don't have anyone else here, why don't we chat."

The cook's face was stern, his eyes glared, and he cursed: "Get out!"

Wang Chao left in a hurry, and Jiang Shan looked confused in the distance.

He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Wang Chao was selling in his gourd.

"Brother, don't you think that he will accept you as his apprentice if you are so obsessed?"

Jiang Shan persuaded him: "Do you know that many people in our base have tried to test it openly and secretly, thought of countless ways, and used countless tricks, but no one can make him let go."

Wang Chao asked, "What about you? Have you tried it?"

"Of course I tried, after all, that's the coach of the national team..."

Jiang Shan looked forward to it: "If I become his apprentice, then Luo Jiu will be my senior brother, what a shame to say it..."

Wang Chao has heard the name Luo Jiu before, and knows that he is one of the five main men's table tennis players in Huaguo's active national table tennis team.

But he only found out today that Luo Jiu was actually that cook's apprentice.

It's just that when he went to find the cook, he really didn't have any intention of apprenticeship.

No matter how strong the cook is, he is only a retired national team coach after all.

And Wang Chao himself, in his previous life, was almost recognized as the No.1 handsome man in the world.

He doesn't think anyone is qualified to teach him how to play.

He went to the cook just because he felt an instinctive kindness towards the words "national team coach".

Although he couldn't guess why the cook resigned on his own initiative, he probably could understand the cook's state of mind.

I feel the same way, so I really want to communicate, that's all.

"It's also my wishful thinking. With my current status, how can he talk to me?"

Wang Chao sighed inwardly: "Forget it, let's not bother him in the future."

On the fourth day of joining the team, at 07:30 in the morning, the head coach Wang Bin and the three leading coaches appeared on the court at the same time, which made everyone feel a little bit unusual.

"Some things happened recently. First, Tian Zhengguang was punished, and then Wang Chao joined the team. Considering that the strength of the players has changed, we made a decision."

Wang Bin announced: "The results of the big cycle a few days ago are invalid. Today we will re-conduct the internal big cycle assessment."

Tian Qi added: "The top three in this assessment will go directly to the relegation match, and will not make any changes for any reason."

The whole venue was in an uproar at this moment.

Everyone knows that Jiangshan and Tianye will definitely be in the top three.

Therefore, in fact, the only variable is the newcomer Wang Chao.

If the rookie's physical strength can keep up, he is a proper No.1, but if his physical strength is exhausted in the middle, then this time, for the sake of their own destiny, no one is willing to give him time to rest.

In the crowd, Zhao Ge and Li Mu looked at each other, with hope rekindled in their eyes.

They all feel they have a chance.

But at this time Wang Bin said another sentence: "After careful consideration, we have made another decision."

He paused, and looked at Wang Chao: "That is... In order to really select the three strongest members of the team, we decided to exempt Tian Zhengguang from subsequent punishment and let him participate in this big cycle."

The noise of the venue reached its peak at this moment.

Wang Bin stared at Wang Chao carefully, wanting to see how Wang Chao would react.

He actually didn't want to let Tian Zhengguang come out, but he couldn't refuse Coach Tian Qi's begging yesterday.

He felt a little guilty in his heart, and carefully recalled the rhetoric he had worked hard to think of last night.If Wang Chao protested, he would say those words.

But Wang Chao just smiled, very calm.

He had already guessed.

Yes, he had already guessed that the coaching staff would definitely give Tian Zhengguang another chance.

It's not just because of Coach Tianqi's face.

It's because Tian Zhengguang's age is really a bit old...

Although table tennis is known as a longevity sport all over the world, in China, because the competition is too fierce, the golden age of athletes is actually only a few years, and Tian Zhengguang can't wait any longer.

Regardless of the Huaxia in the previous life or the Huaguo today, it is actually a typical human society.

He had seen many such things in his previous life, so it was no surprise.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, it's decided like this."

Wang Bin quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "I announce that the internal circulation of the seventeen team members will now officially begin."

Tian Qi followed up and said: "In the first game, Wang Chao won glory against Tian."
