Ping Pong Life

Chapter 502 Luo Jiu's Big Marriage, Wang Mei Gives Birth

But this year's achievements didn't stop there.

December passed quickly, and in mid-January, the World Cup Individual Competition opened. Wang Chao signed up as a matter of course. After five days of fighting, he won the World Cup Men's Singles Champion calmly into his arms.

Last year, he won the team championship with the team as a substitute, which can be said to be unfair. Now that he has won the individual championship, this Grand Slam is finally well-deserved, and there is no dispute.

Of course, the "133-day shortest time grand slam" circulating in the table tennis world last year actually needs to be revised. The starting point should not be the World Cup in early August of the previous year, but the World Table Tennis Championships in late September of the previous year.

The end point should not be the Olympic Games at the end of December of the previous year, but should be in mid-January at this time this year.

So strictly speaking, the total time for Wang Chao to win the Grand Slam should be 468 days, which is equivalent to a little more than 15 months. This data does not break the historical record.

But at the same time, the total time for Wang Chao to win the Grand Slam was revised to 513 days, which is a real record.

Another half month later, at the beginning of February, the 2-stage Open Tournament officially ended. According to the statistics of the ITTF, 11 players were invited to participate in this year's year-end finals.

This is the last competition before the Spring Festival this year, and it is also Wang Chao's final battle after officially consolidating his dynasty. He needs to pass this year-end exam to tell the world that his era has officially come.

This year-end finals broke out some small upsets. For example, after facing Luo Jiu for a year, Hu Ke finally bottomed out and defeated Luo Jiu with difficulty under the premise that the whole scene was not dominant. , ended the nightmare of facing Luo Jiuqi's losing streak this year.

This ball actually explained a lot of problems.

First of all, Luo Jiu is really old.

The year Wang Chao crossed over was 27 years old, and Wang Chao was 18 years old. Now Wang Chao is 20 years old, but he is already 30 years old. This is because Wang Chao’s birthday is October in the second half of the year, while Luo Jiu’s birthday is In March of the first half of the year, the man turned 10. In the past two years, in order to get the results at the end of his career, he fought too hard. Before he knew it, his injuries began to increase. Gradually, he was covered with injuries like Sun Tianlong two years ago. Therefore, when facing Hook, his actual combat power declined visibly to the naked eye.

However, Hu Ke is only 24 years old this year. He is in his prime. Even though he was restrained by Luo Jiu technically and tactically, he was able to hold on with his bloody courage and his own super physical fitness. Once playing at a disadvantage, it will collapse because of a bad mentality. Now that he has played in the table tennis championship for a year, he has completely matured both in terms of technical level and mentality training, especially after winning the annual mvp of the table tennis championship last year, his confidence has exploded. It's almost as if he has opened up the two lines of Ren and Du, and has become a strong and stable S-level player in a real sense.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Hook defeated his natural enemy in an upset. At the same time, through this battle, Hook officially declared to be the biggest opponent of Huaping in the world. In the eyes of many people in the foreign association, Hu Ke has even become the second player in the table tennis world under Wang Chao.

In time, it may not be a dream to overthrow Huaping.

But the dream of the foreign association was shattered in the shortest time, because Hu Keyi defeated Luo Jiuzhi and faced Fan Xiaodong in the next round, and was beaten to death by Fan Xiaodong 4:1 from the front.

So just one day later, the table tennis world was shocked again. The difference is that yesterday's shock was joyful, but today's shock is hopeless.

As time went by, no one stood still. While Hu Ke was improving, Fan Xiaodong had grown up unconsciously.

Even though he was still being severely suppressed by Wang Chao, and still rejected by Sun Tianlong, but in fact, he was really very strong.

He is only 17 years old. Compared with Hu Ke, he does not suffer at all in terms of physical strength and energy. In terms of skills and tactics, after all, Hu Ke only relied on his actual combat experience in the table tennis super and stole lessons from Luo Jiu, while Fan Xiaodong accepted it. Tianlong's personal teaching day after day, and other big men in the coaching staff often give him various other supplementary teachings.

He is a disciple of Qinmen in name, but in fact he is the seed of the future grand slam identified by Quan Huaping. He is not only Wang Chao's spare tire, but also Wang Chao's successor.

When the innate endowments of individuals are almost the same, acquired education is particularly important.

In short, Fan Xiaodong defeated Hu Ke and reached the semi-finals with his head held high. Then he had an unprecedented seven fierce battles with Lin Zijun in the semi-finals. The total number of goals in each game exceeded 20. Until the deciding game, he finally won 12:10 won down.

In this match, Lin Zijun was honored to lose, because he showed a brand-new ultra-fast-paced offensive style of play that sacrificed spin and power. Zhang Benkuang's opportunistic style of play when he first debuted, but in fact, this is of course not a poor imitation, but an offensive routine tailored by him based on his own unique super speed. A new way to come up with.

Jiang Peirong is really, really, very difficult.

His own understanding of table tennis skills is limited. For Lin Zijun, he put down his body completely, seized the opportunity of Lin Zijun and Che Songxin's mixed doubles, and actively sought help from the coaches of Jindalai. After paying the price, I got a satisfactory feedback.

Jindalai has always been a special existence in the table tennis world similar to the hermit sect. They have not communicated much with the international community, but they have been a traditional table tennis power for decades. Therefore, under the circumstances of self-exploration within the association, they have developed many modern sports. Jiang Peirong borrowed and absorbed these routines, and finally helped Lin Zijun design a new offensive style of play, which completely made up for Lin Zijun's shortcomings of "too strong on the defensive end and lacking on the offensive end".

The brand new Lin Zijun and the current Fan Xiaodong have reached this level, no matter who wins, it actually shows that apart from Wang Chao and Luo Jiu, they have already stood on the pinnacle of the world.

Two days ago, the world table tennis circle boasted that Hu Ke was the strongest enemy of Huaping, but two days later, the world table tennis circle started a heated debate on "Who is the greater threat between Lin Zijun and Hu Ke?"

And Fan Xiaodong faced Wang Chao in the final for who knows how many times this year.

After losing to Wang Chao last time, he specifically asked Sun Tianlong: "How can I beat Brother Chao?"

He gritted his teeth and survived the arduous devil training that Sun Tianlong gave him. In this year-end exam, the whole game was like fighting beast chess. One eats one, and even Luo Jiu and other characters have become the top of the food chain. The bottom layer can be described as ups and downs, and Fan Xiaodong's ability to have the last laugh is enough to prove his excellence.

So standing in front of Wang Chao this time, he has unprecedented confidence.

He clearly knew he had improved.

"If no one in the world table tennis world has dared to shout the slogan of Tu Chao proving the Tao so far, then I will start this matter!"

The final was staged under the eyes of everyone, and the ambitious Fan Xiaodong was once again brutally killed by Wang Chao 4:0.

Fan Xiaodong stopped laughing after the game, but he still maintained his basic demeanor, took the initiative to congratulate Wang Chao, then walked to Sun Tianlong silently with his head down, and began to recall the scenes of the game in his mind, trying to find the answer. means of control.

There was a bit of pity in Sun Tianlong's eyes, as if he saw himself who was beaten by Wang Wendong back then, but he didn't try to tell Fan Xiaodong what the problem was after the game.

Because he doesn't know.

He believes that Wang Chao has reached an unprecedented level, which he has never reached before, so he doesn't know how Wang Chao can lose. There is no answer.

So Sun Tianlong didn't think about defeating Wang Chao at all, he just needed to help Fan Xiaodong maintain the second place in the world and suppress Hu Ke and Lin Zijun.

This is the third year that Wang Chao has crossed over, and all the international and domestic competitions in this year have come to an end.

But there's still a lot going on this year.

In mid-February, on the eve of the Spring Festival, Luo Jiu and Fan Xiaoxian got married, ending their nine-year love race. Everyone, as well as the Jiangcheng City team, the Hubei Provincial Team, and even the entire Huaguo table tennis world, all need some refreshing and festive news to fill the vacuum period after the event.

Luo Jiu is the most popular player in Huaping these years. He is known as a social butterfly. After becoming teammates with Hu Ke, he even won the love of a large number of fans in Brazil and even South America.

And Spade Q has already become the focus of fans all over the world because of Wang Chao, not to mention that the one who got married this time is Spade Q's team leader and coach, a proper good-looking beauty Yujie.

The love story between Luo Jiu and Fan Xiaoxian has become well-known under the spread of good people. On the day of the wedding, Wang Chao and Geng Shuai accompanied Luo Jiu as best men. Jiangcheng TV Station, Hubei TV Station, and even CTV National Reporters from the sports channel came to the scene to interview. The atmosphere was so warm that it could be called the most grand wedding in the table tennis world in the past ten years. Fan Xiaoxian, who had been waiting for nine years, was finally able to make up for it on the wedding day. years of long waiting.

It is worth mentioning that there were a few foreign media on the spot that day, such as the Brazilian journalist Tavares, who took a lot of photos and posted them on foreign forums, receiving a lot of praise, and because he came to the wedding that day There are too many Chinese table tennis professional players and coaches, so these photos taken by Tavares have somehow become a comprehensive science teaching material for Chinese table tennis players. Through these photos, foreign fans know quite a lot. The domestic table tennis players who have experienced it can be regarded as a big wave of blindness.

After watching all the excitement, Wang Chao finally returned to his home in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City.

At this time, Wang Mei naturally already had the financial strength to move, but she had lived on this street for too long, and she had already developed feelings for her. All her social circles so far in her life were in this area, so she After discussing with Wang Zhongzhu, he did not choose to move.

This is what Wang Mei feels a little bit regretful about.

Although this street carries all her memories of the past 30 years, in fact, there are not many sweet parts in these memories, but more suffering. Therefore, if her son is willing to take him to live in other places, she is actually very willing .

Many of her old acquaintances on this street have gone to the city to live with their children. Wang Mei occasionally contacts old friends and listens to them talk about the loneliness when they first went to a strange city, and An Ran after they gradually got to know each other. She knows that old friends have met new partners, have a new circle, maybe they are used to the life of dancing in the square every day, or they are used to walking around the neighborhood after dinner, or they have grandchildren and start to keep busy After being busy before and after, it is as hard and fulfilling as raising children back then.

Wang Mei is used to suffering, she is not afraid of hardship, she is willing to be busy, she really wants to live with Wang Chao, and also very much hopes that Wang Chao can get married early and have a child, she is willing to help take care of it.

But Wang Chao is a national hero. She wins glory for the country at a level beyond her reach. She appears on the TV news every now and then. She is brilliant and radiant. In the past year, she has received countless praises, and she even became the No.1 table tennis player in the world. As her son became more and more famous, his reputation became farther and farther away from her.

She used to occasionally inquire about the situation of the little girl named Tang Yuanyuan, but now she has not asked for a long time, because she heard people say that national team players cannot fall in love, which will affect their grades and delay winning glory for the country. become a state criminal.So she was afraid that if she asked too much, it would affect her son's state.

This time when Wang Chao went home for the New Year, Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu were not only happy, but also a little apprehensive, so after dinner, everyone chatted, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

The reason was that Wang Zhongzhu naturally stood up to clean up the table while chatting, but Wang Mei sat motionless on the chair after he was busy.

Wang Chao was stunned because of this, but Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu felt it immediately.

Wang Mei has never been a coddled person. When Wang Chao came back last time, most of the housework was done by Wang Mei, but this time when he came home, the situation was completely reversed. This is very abnormal.

Wang Chao glanced at his mother's stomach naturally.

Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu also suddenly became a little nervous.

"Mom?" Wang Chao asked.

Wang Mei was a bit aggressive, but she didn't want to lose her momentum in front of her own son, so she took the initiative to stare and raise her eyebrows, subconsciously provocative in her tone: "What are you looking at?"

This meme is so famous that Wang Chao almost said, "What are you doing?" Fortunately, he came to his senses at a critical moment and said with a smile, "How many months?"

Wang Mei's face turned blood red, she gritted her teeth and said, "How many months?"

Wang Zhongzhu stopped sweeping the floor and ran to sit next to Wang Mei with a worried expression.

"Mom, what's the point of hiding this?" Wang Chao was a little bit ironic: "I talked to you when I came back last time. I really want a younger brother or younger sister."

Wang Mei didn't say a word, carefully scrutinizing Wang Chao's expression like watching a thief, trying to get some clues from his smile, to judge whether Wang Chao is telling the truth or not.

Wang Chao was so familiar with her that he couldn't help raising his voice and said, "Mom, I really mean it."

Wang Mei's expression loosened a bit, and she hummed, but she still didn't say anything.

This time, it was because he was too tense just now, and now he couldn't calm down.

Wang Zhongzhu whispered beside him: "Wang Chao, you know that your mother and I are not too old now, and we still want to have a child by our side, you..."

"I understand, I understand." Wang Chao nodded quickly, seeing that Wang Mei was still adjusting her state, he took the initiative to go over, gently hugged his mother, and said with a smile, "Can you tell me now, how many months? "

Wang Mei finally regained her composure, her whole body softened in Wang Chao's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "It's only been two months, and I haven't seen her body yet... It's your Uncle Zhu who insists on making a big fuss, and won't let me do any housework."

Wang Zhongzhu laughed beside him and said, "It's always right to be careful, anyway, there's not much going on at home."

Having said that, the atmosphere in the room really eased down.

The last time Wang Chao came back was the day when Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu got married. He talked with his mother for a long time, and he also said seriously that he might spend his whole life on table tennis, and he would definitely owe his family. If he could, he I hope my mother will have another child.

It's just that Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu obviously thought too much at that time, thinking that Wang Chao was deliberately speaking ironically to test their own minds, so no matter how Wang Chao tried to persuade them, they would not let go.

It wasn't until this whole year that Wang Chao didn't go home even once that they finally understood the conversation at that time and formally decided to have a child.

In fact, as a man, Wang Zhongzhu naturally wanted his own flesh and blood. He just didn't expect Wang Mei's son to be so competitive and unknowingly climbed to such a high position. After he married Wang Mei, he found that he Inexplicably, he became financially free, so he has always been a little cautious, a little afraid of offending Wang Chao.

So in this matter, he has always been the most cautious, and he has always been the most worried. However, Wang Mei's fierce gesture before was probably to help Wang Zhongzhu bear the possible storm.

Naturally, they did not expect that Wang Chao agreed with this matter very much.

After all, he is not an aborigine of this body. Half of his feelings for Wang Mei are due to the residual memory of this body, and half are due to his gratitude and admiration for the hard work of this woman in the past 18 years. He is willing to give them a better life, but he is really not used to getting along with them day and night.

What's more, he traveled to this world for table tennis, and table tennis is his real mission.

So it would be great to have a younger brother or younger sister to perform filial piety for oneself.

The Spring Festival is over soon. Before returning to the club, Wang Chao solemnly assured Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu that no matter whether the baby is a younger brother or a younger sister, he will do his best to take care of him and love him, and there will be no estrangement. Don't.

　Thanks for the 5000 coin reward from "I was once a king".

　　Thank you for the 500 coin reward of "Occasionally Give a Reward".

　　Thanks to "Meow's Schrödinger jin" for the reward of 100 coins.

　　You are all my dear friends, haha.
