Ping Pong Life

Chapter 383
Lin Zijun is a very introverted person, and almost never expresses his feelings in public.

Even in front of elders like Jiang Peirong who are like masters and fathers, he maintains a very decent image.

So don't look at his calm expression when he speaks, but he can say these words in front of the whole world, and declare war on Wang Chao in such a high-profile way, which means that his inner desire to win and self-confidence have flourished to the extreme .

Of course, this also means that he officially bid farewell to his past. While comprehending the "free spirit" on the court, he also untied the shackles in dealing with others, escaped from the cage, and became more casual and free.

This is a brand new version 2.0 of Lin Zijun.

His words were spread in the shortest time, arousing the curiosity of many fans who did not pay attention to the German Open.

Two Asian teenagers who are also 18 years old.

Two creators of "Asian magic".

Two world-recognized supernovas.

So young, so brilliant, so good.

Does their confrontation represent the future direction of the world table tennis world?
At this moment, they were shining brightly and attracting everyone's attention. Even Hu Ke, Fan Xiaodong, Pique, Morad and other world-recognized supernovas were overshadowed.

At 02:30 p.m. local time, the biggest suspense of this Open began.

When the curtain opened and players from both sides entered the arena, everyone was a little surprised to see that the coach sitting on the fender behind Wang Chao was not He Jingping, but Huaping, who suffered repeated defeats after his debut in the coaching career. Pink newcomer Sun Tianlong.

Regarding this, Qin Huachang, who is also a newly-promoted Fennen rookie anchor, let out a "huh" first, and after a moment of stunned, blurted out two words: "Wonderful!"

Then he froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, couldn't help hitting his forehead with his hand, and called out, "Ouch!"

The audience in the live broadcast room were all laughing. This kind of top coach who has seen the big world loses his composure in public, and his emotions go up and down, which is obviously a very rare thing. It is worth making screenshots into emoticons to carry forward.

But they didn't know that Qin Huachang's shock in the depths of his heart, and the agitation of his mood at this moment, far exceeded the expectations of outsiders.

When he first saw Sun Tianlong's appearance, Qin Huachang's first reaction was "how could this be?".

He himself is a character who never wants to be disadvantaged, and judges others by himself. This final should be one of the highlight moments in the life of Wang Chao and He Jingping, a master and apprentice, so he feels that sitting behind the fender and enjoying the glory of all the attention , it must be He Jingping.

Also honored are the rich men behind them.

But it turned out that Sun Tianlong, who was born in Qinmen, was sitting there.

Why is that?
What the hell are they thinking?

Qin Huachang thought of at least seventeen or eighteen possibilities in his mind at that moment, and he subconsciously felt that there must be a reason for this change, and the reason must be related to the game itself.

So, for this game, is it better for Sun Tianlong to be an off-court coach than He Jingping to be an off-court coach?
What a smart person Qin Huachang is, he couldn't help shouting "Wonderful" just after comparing them for a while.

He Jingping's comprehensive ability is undoubtedly higher than that of Sun Tianlong, but only in this game, Qin Huachang is convinced that Sun Tianlong is indeed better than He Jingping as an off-court coach.

why?
Because He Jingping is good at pure technical theory, and the only thing Sun Tianlong is stronger than He Jingping in the field of coaching is competition experience.

There is a saying that "what you get on paper is shallow, but you have to do it yourself when you know it." Although most of the Huaping coaching staff are veterans who have transformed from former national players, they have been away from actual combat for many years after all. Even if they sit on the sidelines and guide more times than the players play, but when it comes to the specific experience of facing the enemy and the handling of many endgames during the match, they are definitely not as good as the active players.

And what kind of guidance does Wang Chao need?

In terms of technology, he is already a master of masters. In terms of wisdom, he is as cunning as a fox and has never suffered a disadvantage. Even the calculation of one person can overwhelm the entire Huaping.

The only thing he lacks, or the only thing that has not yet reached perfection, is game experience.

He lost to Sun Tianlong in the Table Tennis Super League in March this year, which was the only game he lost since his debut. In that game, he made many mistakes in experience.

So today, facing Lin Zijun who has just completed super-evolution and became unpredictable, if Wang Chao needs help, only Sun Tianlong can help.

Qin Huachang's deduction ends here, he feels that this must be the truth, and at the same time he is sure that the matter of "changing coaches before the battle" must be promoted by Wang Chao.

The reason is also very simple.

First of all, it is impossible for He Jingping to take the initiative to propose that although Old He has a relatively indifferent temperament, since he is a coach, it is impossible for him to not care about such a moment of glory. Besides, before the start of the fight, who dares to say that Wang Chao will definitely not be able to beat Lin Zijun, and he must need help ?
Secondly, it is impossible for Sun Tianlong to take the initiative, because he wants face. Qin Huachang asked himself, even a shameless person like himself would not be able to take the initiative to pick peaches.

So it must be that after Wang Chao's deduction before the game, he felt that he could not win steadily, so he took the initiative to persuade He Jingping. After He Jingping agreed, he went to find Sun Tianlong together, and finally completed this change.

After figuring out all the ins and outs, Qin Huachang was naturally a little bit happy, because he felt that my disciple picked the peaches of the Zhu Clan, and this wave was a big profit for the Qin Clan.

But then Qin Huachang suddenly felt ashamed.

If the previous joy comes from his deep-rooted nature and is not controlled by reason, then the subsequent shame represents his acquired introspection and moral self-restraint.

He is just a caring person, but he is not really a bad person, he still has a conscience.

He realized that the three parties involved in this matter, Wang Chao, He Jingping, and Sun Tianlong, hadn't actually considered the matter of glory. They just wanted to do their best and win the game.

Only I, Qin Huachang, am here thinking about things and thinking about things, thinking about every penny, like a clown.

When Qin Huachang was still in power a few months ago, he would not have had this kind of introspection, because at that time he was a fan of the authorities, obsessed with Huaping's infighting and calculations, and couldn't let go of the chips in his hand.

But after several months of slack, his thoughts finally changed. He found that the world was turning around without him, and there was no difference. The Qin Clan did not experience any changes because of his departure as the helmsman. Everything was as it was yesterday. The years are quiet.

This made him unknowingly see a lot, and his heart of victory and defeat has also faded a lot. Yesterday he found that Fan Xiaodong didn't have an off-court guide when he was playing the water bird eagle. He was only a little surprised, but he didn't panic. The phone calls to question Sun Tianlong severely, which actually means that his behavior style is changing.

Everything needs an inducement before the quantitative change will eventually turn into a qualitative change, and Qin Huachang is just like this at this moment. When he realized that the matter of changing coaches before the battle was purely his own cranky thinking and mediocrity, his heart suddenly widened.

Then countless memories flowed through my mind.

He remembered that he showed his talents at the Huaping Cake Sharing Conference every year, taking advantage of He Jingping in various ways and feeling complacent.

He remembered that when the mixed doubles approached, he was able to combine vertical and horizontal, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and forcibly pushed Wang Chao into the fire of the mixed doubles, and he was very proud.

He remembered the past when he heard He Jingping mention Wang Chao's name last year, and made a special trip to Jiangcheng City to try to poach a role but was rejected.

He remembered that in March this year, his disciple Sun Tianlong would rather fight until the old injury relapsed than give Wang Chao a complete inheritance from losing to winning.

He thought of many, many stories about calculations, about taking advantage and losing money.

The person he bullies the most is Lao He, but after so many years of suffering, Lao He has become the best one today.

This actually proves that sometimes it is not necessarily good to be too fussy and to strive for profit in everything.

He always thought that Lao He was soft-tempered, and he didn't react much when he was calculated, but maybe, Lao He was incapable of fighting back, but just too lazy to argue with himself?
He suddenly felt ashamed, his face was burning hot.

This kind of emotion made him a little unable to maintain his expression, so he hit his forehead with his hand, using this action to cover up his embarrassment, while covering his face, he couldn't help shouting "Ouch".

This is the complete process of Qin Huachang's ups and downs.

And after this wave of emotions gradually calmed down, Qin Huachang suddenly realized that something was still wrong.

Did Lin Zijun really put so much pressure on Wang Chao?
Not so much, right?

From Qin Huachang's point of view, it is natural not to follow others' opinions. Lin Zijun's game against Hooker this morning was indeed quite miraculous, especially the ghostly speed, which made countless players in the world's table tennis world tingle and despair, but Qin Huachang went all the way. Looking at it, I actually feel a little disapproving in my heart.

He can see many essences that others cannot see, and he feels that Lin Zijun is overestimated.

He still believes that Wang Chao can win the championship, and it will not be too difficult.

But Wang Chao made Qin Huachang confused when he changed the coach just before the battle.

"Did I underestimate the current Lin Zijun, or did Wang Chao overestimate the current Lin Zijun?"

"It's just hitting Lin Zijun, not Luo Jiu and Aaron. Why is it so serious?"

Qin Huachang has enough self-confidence in his profession, but the problem is that the one who disagreed with him was Wang Chao, which made him a little shaken, so when he saw a bunch of people asking him to predict on the barrage, he didn't dare to be more confident asserted, but cautiously said: "This game is hard to say, let's take a look first."

What he didn't know was that this sentence was fully interpreted by foreign friends, and it directly caused foreign gamblers to modify the odds of this game.

Originally, the odds were very strange. The world table tennis circles had various predictions for this game. For example, the fans of Sakura Country and Kimchi Country generally believed that Lin Zijun had a 6% to 7% chance of winning. The insiders of Wandao even believed that Lin Zijun had an 8% chance of winning. It is the European fans who have always used Huaping as their imaginary enemy. This time they all agree that Wang Chao has a higher chance of winning, exceeding 7%.

And in those desert areas of table tennis, for example, Brazilian fans directly predicted Lin Zijun's winning rate as high as 90%, while African black buddies thought Wang Chao's winning rate was as high as 9%.

As for why there is such a large cognitive error, it is actually because very few people can see the real details of the two players from the match between Lin Zijun and Hooker, so when they discuss the outcome of the final, they largely rely on it. It depends on the individual's perceptual cognition and emotional bias.

For example, the country of cherry blossoms and the country of kimchi are obviously more inclined to Wandao in terms of national sentiment. In addition, Lin Zijun is handsome and has a lot of mother fans, so they subconsciously think that Lin Zijun has a high winning rate.

European fans, on the other hand, have suffered too much under Wang Chao's hands, and have already developed an "invincible" mentality towards Wang Chao, so no matter how exaggerated Lin Zijun's performance is, they still believe that Wang Chao will have the last laugh.

Brazilian fans think that Hook is the god of table tennis. Since Lin Zijun can beat Hook, of course he can beat Wang Chao.

On the other side of Africa, because many countries have good relations with China and have enjoyed assistance at the national level, it is also because of emotional reasons that they must advocate "Wang Chao is invincible".

In short, after Qin Huachang said a word about these strange handicap, they all unified their opinions.

"Coach Huaping Qin said that this game is difficult to judge. It seems that it is really evenly matched."

"Nonsense, Wang Chao even changed his coach, doesn't that mean he takes it seriously?"

"During the interview in the morning, Lin Zijun acted like a challenger."

"As long as the result is 4:1 or 4:2, Coach Qin will not dare to draw conclusions, so it is obvious that this match will last for seven innings."

"The final victory or defeat is likely to depend entirely on the game state and on-the-spot performance of both sides."

In the end, most of the markets were opened, and the winning percentage of both players was close to 50%, which can be regarded as a small miracle.

Let's get back to the game scene.

Players from both sides tossed coins, and finally Wang Chao lost the right to serve again.

However, Lin Zijun, who got the right to serve, did not have any happy expression on his face, on the contrary, there was some gloom.

Naturally, he had also heard about Wang Chao's coin guessing.

So he couldn't help thinking, why am I the one who got the serve?Could it be that some kind of power in the dark thinks that I'm going to lose?
Lin Zijun gritted his teeth, and a fierce force surged in his heart.

He is not satisfied.

He wanted to give it a try, use today's battle to break the stalk that had lasted for more than half a year.
