Ping Pong Life

Chapter 504 The old teammates retired one after another, and the young genius broke his tendons and fractured his bones

No one knows what Qin Huachang said to Wang Chao on this day in December of this year, even Sun Tianlong didn't know, because Qin Huachang said to him: "If you know, you will relax, then you will still How can we do our best to help Xiaodong defeat Wang Chao?"

"That's right, it's really difficult for you to do this, but isn't this process, just like when you were suppressed by Wang Wendong, an opportunity to continue training?"

"Don't think that it's just the players who need to be trained. As a coach, your succession is too smooth. The foundation I left you is too good. You haven't suffered at all. You also need to be trained again."

The table tennis world this year was still turbulent, but for Wang Chao, it was like a pool of still water. He continued to win all the championships he wanted to win without any surprises. When he returned home during the Spring Festival, he saw his own brother, Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu named his youngest son Wang Ping.

An unremarkable name, because they don't expect their youngest son to have many earth-shattering achievements in the future, but they hope that their youngest son can live a peaceful life and simply be by their side.

The reason why he has such a mentality is also because Wang Chao's son is too successful in his career and too neglectful of his family, so Wang Mei can't help but have such thoughts.

So human beings will always be like this, expecting what they can’t get, and getting tired of what they already have. The vast majority of the world are parents who hope their children will become dragons, but when their children really become dragons, they have no time to fly. After landing, they began to look forward to returning to the ordinary simple company.

Of course, for the vast majority of people on this old street in Huangpo District on the outskirts of Jiangcheng City, it is unlikely that they would empathize with Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu when they heard Wang Mei and Wang Zhongzhu tell about the origin of their youngest son's name. It's really tmd Versailles", "Without your boss to support you, your second child will not be plain and simple, but poor and lowly couples will be sad", "When the time comes, Wang Ping will be at home every day, Just don't go to work, you two will know how painful it is to be accompanied."

After negotiating with Lemon, they went home and began to beat their disobedient son: "Study hard for me, and I will stand out when I grow up, so that I can also feel proud in front of others!"

After the Spring Festival, it is the fifth year that Wang Chao has traveled through, and it is also the third year since Wang Chao won the Olympic champion. This year's World Cup is an individual competition. Liu Wen got her last chance to participate in the World Cup in her career.

She was supposed to retire three years ago, when she was 30 years old, when her best friend and best friend Xiao Fei changed coaches.

But she accidentally won the Olympic singles gold medal, so she began to extravagantly seek the Grand Slam. She is only short of the World Cup singles champion, which is the most difficult of the three major competitions. She really can't let go, because every Chinese player has a Grand Slam consistent dream.

However, in the year following the Olympics, she failed to win the World Cup, losing to her young teammates.

She still doesn't want to give up, because the sunk cost is really high, and she is really only one step away from a Grand Slam.

She waited for another two years. Last year was the World Cup team competition, and this year it was finally the individual competition.

But she has actually fallen behind in the women's team's internal competition, because the top three women's table tennis world rankings are completely different from two years ago. The current top three are Shen Sha, Wang Yu and Yin Di. The four are not her, but Yichuan Mima, a player from Sakura Country.

Under the pressure of the rumors, Cai Guodong forcibly gave her a spot, which was regarded as the last gift to the veteran.

Liu Wen competed with the determination to die, but on the men's team, there was another person with the same determination as her, that is Luo Jiu.

Luo Jiu is also 31 years old. He was decadent in the second half of last year and even gave up the World Table Tennis Championships. But at the end of the year, he suddenly remembered Sun Tianlong's last season. On the same road of life, it's time to muster up the last courage to fight for the last time.

He does not have the clear goal of "Double Lap Grand Slam" like Sun Tianlong, and even, in fact, the World Cup championship means little to him, because he has won it before, but he still forces himself to take the only one this year. The Xiangsan competition was regarded as his last battlefield, and he stepped onto the battlefield with a tragic mood.

The opponent in his mind is naturally his junior brother, Wang Chao.

In this World Cup, the men's team players are Wang Chao, Luo Jiu, and Fan Xiaodong, while the women's team players are Shen Sha, Wang Yu, and Liu Wen.

In the end, Luo Jiu failed to meet Wang Chao, because he was defeated by Lin Zijun again in the semifinals.

In fact, facing Lin Zijun, what Luo Jiu could rely on in the past was better technique and control. What bullied Lin Zijun was his inability to take the initiative to attack. Now, with the help of Jiang Peirong, Lin Zijun has mastered a brand new set of offense. After the system, when Luo Jiu met him again, he would no longer have any advantages at all from the technical level.

After all, he is not Wang Chao, he has no way to decipher Lin Zijun's super speed from the front, and he is getting weaker day by day, while Lin Zijun is getting stronger day by day.

In another semi-final, Fan Xiaodong was once again blocked by Wang Chao 4:0.

He didn't cry again, but the once immature face of the 18-year-old boy now had a more ferocious look, and he began to seriously think about how to defeat Wang Chao, instead of just taking it as a Dispensable question.

The once innocent and carefree young man in Liancheng finally began to feel anxious and walked to the place where Sun Tianlong wanted him to go.

This kind of worry and thinking will make him constantly polished, and this is how flawless diamonds are formed.

In the men's singles final, Lin Zijun followed Fan Xiaodong's mistakes and was crushed by Wang Chao.

Wang Chao won the championship, the world table tennis world is very quiet, everyone's mood is very calm, this kind of calm represents despair.

In the dark night, no one expected the light to come.

As for the women's table tennis team, Liu Wen was once again defeated by her teammate Wang Yu and failed to enter the final, let alone win the championship.

After losing her last match in the World Cup, Liu Wen burst into tears on the spot.

After returning to the imperial capital from the World Cup, Luo Jiu immediately announced his retirement. Three days later, Liu Wen also announced his retirement.

There are traces of Luo Jiu's retirement, because everyone can see that his state and mentality were not very good in the last year. On the one hand, he really couldn't find a way to restrain Wang Chao. On the other hand, It is also because he has a family, and it was rumored that Fan Xiaoxian is pregnant a while ago, so his mind is not entirely on table tennis.

But Liu Wen's retirement really hurts.

She was only one breath away from a few years ago, but it was this breath, she couldn't stand it no matter what, she still wanted to persevere, but time waits for no one, not only the decline in her physical function caused by her age, but more importantly Yes, she has been constantly urged to marry by her family since before the Olympic Games three years ago.

She is an only child, and her parents are indeed old and not in good health. In a year or two, they may not be able to hold their grandson.

In the end, Liu Wen still did not achieve her dream of a grand slam. Instead, she was constrained by this fantasy dream. She wasted three years and endured endless pressure. Looking back now, if she hadn't won the Olympic Games, would it have been three years? I retired directly before, but now I live a more comfortable life?

This is how things are in the world. Today's luck may not be tomorrow's disaster, and today's misfortune may not be tomorrow's blessing. When Liu Wen retired, she invited all Huaping people to eat. It was a small commemoration of her 20 years career, followed by another cry, and finally chose to leave the team.

She didn't choose to stay as an assistant coach, because she didn't think she was a brain player, and the pure speed style of play she admired most was gradually being eliminated in this era when the diameter of table tennis balls became 40+. She feels that her only strength lies in persistence and hardship. She pays attention to basic training. She was evaluated by Cai Guodong as the player with the most solid foundation in the women's team a long time ago. So after retiring, she chose to return to her hometown of Liao Province and become an official coach of the provincial team. In the future, he may take over the post of head coach of the Liaoning Women's Team.

Considering that the three northeastern provinces have always been the cradle of table tennis talents, Liu Wen, who was quite frustrated as a player, is actually very likely to have a second spring as a coach.

Luo Jiu also did not stay in the team after retiring, because the men's team has poured in many young coaches in the past three years, and now there is no shortage of people.

At the same time, he also hoped to be with his wife and children instead of staying in the imperial capital alone.

In the end, Luo Jiu entered the Table Tennis and Badminton Sports Management Center of the Hubei Provincial Sports Bureau. The starting point of his entry was the deputy director. Dacheng, since then, has indeed achieved a great reputation in the international arena.

Although under the pressure of Wang Chao, he did not win any of the three major competitions, but everyone can see that he has been steadily "the second man in the world" in the three years since Sun Tianlong retired. .

He was just unlucky and met a cheating dog.

This also leaves some fans who have always been unfair to Luo Jiu speechless, because facts have proved that Luo Jiu's battles in the past few years have not been empty, and some people still see it in the end. s return.

In fact, the rewards are more than that. After being the deputy director for two years, Luo Jiu was also invited by the Jiangcheng Institute of Physical Education to become the honorary vice president of this university. Although this title has no real power, it also makes his The social status has thus been raised to a higher level.

Following the retirement of Luo Jiu and Liu Wen, Lin Li also submitted an application for retirement a week later.

He is the same age as Luo Jiu, also 31 years old. Although his physical fitness is quite good now due to his talent and strange strength, his situation in the national team is actually more embarrassing than Luo Jiu.

He has been officially surpassed by Wang Chao, Fan Xiaodong, and Bai Feng, and is now ranked fourth in the national team. The embarrassing thing is that the first three are younger than the other, which is very disappointing.

Lin Li did not choose to stay in Huaping in the end, because he thought he was not a smart person, and he was not suitable for a coaching industry that required intrigue. He also returned to his hometown of Jizhou Province and became a coach of the Jizhou Provincial Team.

Due to the retirement of Lin Li and Luo Jiu, a new internal competition started within the national team. In the end, Lu Feiyang and Wang Qin won and entered the ranks of the five main players.

So far, the Huaping men's team has completely formed a new generation. This year, Bai Feng is 29 years old, Wang Chao is 22 years old, Fan Xiaodong and Lu Feiyang are 19 years old, and Wang Qin is 16 years old. The average age of this main team has changed from 28 years old a few years ago. It has dropped to the current 21 years old, even compared with the Sakura National Table Tennis Association, which relies entirely on young players to dominate the world, it is almost the same.

Luo Jiu retired in July of this year, and in the final of the Austrian Open in August, Wang Chao did not have a clean sheet for the first time, but scored 4:1 with Lin Zijun.

In fact, it was still an undoubted crush, but the world table tennis world was agitated because of this small round won by Lin Zijun. Many fans became excited, thinking that Wang Chao's hegemony was beginning to show signs of decline, because they saw Wang Chao's style of play It has become less oppressive and desperate than it used to be.

No one is happy in a hundred days, and flowers are not red in a hundred days. They do not believe that there is another person after Sun Tianlong who can really sit on the number one position in the world. Although Wang Chao is still young enough, everyone has already begun to speculate optimistically When will Wang Chao lose for the first time, and who will he lose to?

The reason why the fans are like this is actually because, although Wang Chao suppresses everything in the current world table tennis world, the strength of others is really not weak at all. On the contrary, a large number of rising stars have emerged in the past three years.

It must be admitted that the table tennis movement in the world is indeed flourishing, full of thriving restlessness.

Fan Xiaodong, Lin Zijun, Morad, and Zhang Benkuang, these four young players from four different table tennis associations, have become the recognized four kings under Wang Chao, of which Fan Xiaodong and Lin Zijun are slightly stronger, but Morad and Zhang Ben Each has its own characteristics and may be replaced at any time.

Adding an older Brazilian Hooker, this constitutes the five masters. It is a pity that there is no "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in this world. Arrangements are made.

But the five masters failed to seize the opportunity, and the fans' good wishes were completely shattered in the ensuing series of events.

At the beginning of September, at the New Zealand Open, Wang Chao defeated Hu Ke 4:1 to win the championship.

At the end of September, the Asian Cup came, and Wang Chao defeated Bai Feng 4:1 to win the championship.

At the end of October, the Asian Championships came, and Wang Chao defeated Lin Zijun 4:1 to win the championship.

Fans all over the world were speechless.

Wang Chao was as stable as ever, and the game scene was as calm as ever, but his rigor and oppression in the game were indeed reduced. He always let the opponent win the next game, but he always only let the opponent win the next game. In the game, from 4:0 in the past to 4:1 now, it doesn't look like he is regressing, but like he is controlling points. He just made a small joke with the whole world through this small means , and then hide to watch the fans rejoice, and then snigger wickedly.

It was Qin Huachang who solved the mystery in a live broadcast.

"From 4:0 to 4:1, what you see is only a change in the score, but what I see is clearly an increase in the error tolerance rate."

"Wang Chao is indeed stable enough, but he also knows that as long as he is an individual, he will never be able to achieve stability for many years. He will inevitably make mistakes, and he must give himself room for mistakes. Therefore, he chose He does not wait for mistakes to come to him, but takes the initiative to give his own room for mistakes. He reduces the difficulty of playing the ball and reduces the accuracy of his technical requirements. In exchange for this, he plays more stretched in every game , and also allows the opponent to form countermeasures against him to a certain extent, but what follows is that he can be more stable overall, even if there are ups and downs in his state, he will not collapse because of too demanding playing style."

"So, you think he's regressed, but I think he's playing smarter."

"We said that toughness is easy to break. In fact, I have been waiting for the day when Wang Chao is brittle. However, he made up for the only flaw. Now, he can really rule forever, forever, forever."

Qin Huachang's words revealed the truth and made countless fans feel desperate. They carefully reviewed Wang Chao's games in recent months, especially to see the specific content of Wang Chao's losses, and then clearly realized that Qin Huachang was not talking nonsense.

"But this ratio is still not impeccable." Qin Huachang said a few days later: "In order to consolidate his dominance, he played too many games, even if he tried to save energy in each game, but he still It's overdrawn."

"Then following that, the fate that every athlete cannot escape will also befall him."

"Just wait, Wang Chao's injury is coming."

These words were like a curse. At the Italian Open two months later, Wang Chao fell and was injured when he was saving a ball against Fan Xiaodong in the semi-finals.

Everyone thought he was going to lose, but in the end, despite his illness, he still defeated Fan Xiaodong 4:2.

Fan Xiaodong's mentality exploded in this game, and he gave up completely in the last round, and was beaten 11:0 by Wang Chao without mercy.

Fan Xiaodong, who was defeated, lost his demeanor for the first time, refused to shake hands after the game, and left the scene with his head down as if he had never heard of Sun Tianlong's call.

Sun Tianlong was not angry, but a little worried. He was thinking, didn't the teacher reach an agreement with Wang Chao?Why is Wang Chao unwilling to lose a game logically under such circumstances?On the contrary, he fought more fiercely.

He really advocated setback education, but he didn't dare to ask Wang Chao to work harder in private now, instead he was a little afraid that he would really crush Fan Xiaodong, a good seedling.

When he substituted himself into Fan Xiaodong, he felt a kind of pain that could not breathe. This has surpassed Wang Wendong's suppression of him back then. After all, he was full of hope every time, because he knew for sure that there was something between him and Wang Wendong. It's not that big of a difference.
